Xu Xianchun finally pawned his mother's golden hairpin, weighed one or two or six coins, and exchanged it for six taels and five coins of silver.

At that time, something happened to the company.

Xu Xianchun's mother's golden hairpin was brought out of the palace by Princess Jiashan back then, and it has the imprint of the palace silver bureau.

When the pawnbroker saw the seal of the palace, he was suspicious, so he quietly dragged Xu Xianchun and sent someone to the county government to report to the official.

Fortunately, Xu Xianchun has the vouchers and household posts of the martial arts examination results, plus his appearance is dignified, not like a bandit, and the catchers of the county government did not lock people up indiscriminately.

It's just that the words "the emperor's relatives and relatives are just like this" when he was about to leave made Xu Xianchun a little annoyed.

After the annoyance, the people also calmed down, and what the catchers said was the truth, the grandson of the princess was reduced to pawning the princess's things, and there was nothing more shameful in the world than this.

If it weren't for his ambitions, Xu Xianchun wouldn't have done such an insulting thing to his ancestors.

At present, the price of gold is one tael can be exchanged for eight taels of silver, and one tael of silver can be exchanged for 40 small flat coins, so the pawnbroker's bid is low, because Xu Xianchun chose to live dang.

The rules of the pawnshop, if you die, you can't redeem it in the future, and the bid is naturally higher. If you are alive, you can redeem it in the future, and the bid will naturally be lower.

It's just that this pawnshop is still a little dark, probably because Xu Xianchun is young and down-and-out, and most of the family is in decline, so he deceived him.

Xu Xianchun didn't mind this, he was about to enter Beijing, and it was enough to have these few taels of silver. If the price of the pawnshop is too high, he will also increase the burden of redemption for him in the future.

After all, his family did not support him in the martial arts examination, even if Xu Xianchun was able to take the martial arts examination this time, he was afraid that his father would still be unhappy.

Without the family's financial resources, Xu Xianchun is powerless to redeem his grandmother's relics in the short term. Therefore, the pawnshop gave him less money, which was a good thing for him.

After carefully folding the pawn ticket and putting it in his arms and putting it away, and taking two taels of silver for the pawnshop to exchange for silver beans and small flat money, Xu Xianchun found Wei Liangchen, who was eating noodles, and gave him five silver beans without saying anything.

Liangchen has been gnawing dry cakes for a few days in a row, and he really can't stand it, so he has the luxury of buying a bowl of Yangchun noodles.

After a bowl of noodles and soup and water were all in his stomach, Liangchen burped very comfortably, and just caught a glimpse of Zhang Cha who was hesitating outside, and estimated that this guy probably didn't have much money in his hand.

But he deserves it, if Zhang Cha is not fooled by the fat man on the road, where will he lose the plate, let alone eat one meal a day. True to the old saying - the poor must have something to hate.

Liangchen is not in the mood to help a gambler, he himself is a poor ghost.

I never thought that I just laughed at myself that I was also a poor ghost, but suddenly I had money to come to the door.

.........

Holding the five silver beans given by Xu Xianchun, Liangchen was in a dilemma.

He didn't think about asking Xu Xianchun to repay his "borrowed cake", nor did he expect Xu Xianchun to hide a golden hairpin. At the beginning of the fight, Liangchen just wanted Xu Xianchun, a ruthless eunuch in the future, to owe him this favor, and he would be easy to deal with in the future.

Who knew that the people suddenly became wider, and generously gave him five silver beans, no less than thirty if they were exchanged for small flat money.

How much is a flatbread worth? A few and one piece are only worth three or four small flat coins.

Xu Xianchun's kindness was a bit big, which reversed the situation.

Or rather, there is a serious asymmetry in value.

If Wei Liangchen accepted it, it would be easy for people to think that he was greedy for money. Although, he essentially likes yellow and white things.

There are a few people in the world who don't like money.

No matter in the past or present life, good ministers love money.

It's a pity that he had no money in his previous life, and in this life, he still has no money. To be precise, the current good minister is still a long way from becoming a little Chitose. Therefore, money is still very important to the current good ministers.

However, Liangchen didn't want Xu Xianchun's money - a few silver beans were not as good as his friendship with one of the five biaos.

Liangchen was very distressed, looking at Xu Xianchun's posture, he was not allowed to refuse. But I felt embarrassed to accept other people's "good rewards" like this.

Only, what should I do?

After Xu Xianchun "reciprocated" Brother Wei's affection, he also ordered a bowl of Yangchun noodles, and was eating with his head bored at the moment, not noticing that Brother Wei on the side was struggling with the money in his hand.

After thinking about it, Liangchen decided to accept the money first, if he insisted on returning it to Xu Xianchun now, he was afraid that he would be unhappy.

There are people coming and going, and Liangchen doesn't want to stage a scene of competing for money, so he thinks about waiting for no one on the road to find someone, and then returns it to Xu Xianchun, and then says a heart-to-heart word to leave a deeper impression in the other party's mind. At that time, even if Xu Xianchun still wants to give it to him, then he will accept it.

Xu Xianchun is not a mother-in-law, and Liangchen can't leave this impression on him.

There are many tourists who eat noodles at the noodle stall and go with Liangchen, but a few people get off the bus and leave after arriving in Jinghai, and they buy tickets to Jinghai.

As in later generations, the carriage and horse shops sold tickets for a single terminal. There are many guests getting on and off the bus along the way.

Zhang Bing and Pan Xiaolang are people with status, one is an errand in the palace, the other is a talent and fame, they will not be the same as the good ministers, if they are not without a choice, they will not eat at roadside stalls.

The two went to a fairly high-grade restaurant, sat at the window table upstairs, ordered a few side dishes, and ate with laughter.

Guest, it must be Pan Xuezhong's invitation, when he came out, his father gave him a lot of silver, and asked him to make friends with Zhang Bing, the palace eunuch.

During the banquet, Pan Xuezhong inadvertently said about the Tianjin tax envoy Ma Tang that he had heard about, and Zhang Bing hurriedly stopped him, lest this young man not know how to say something to cause trouble.

Jinghai County belongs to Tianjin Sanwei, and Zhang Bing is not sure if there are Ma Gonggong's eyes and ears here. When he was in the palace, he heard from his colleagues that on the boundary of Tianjin, Ma Gonggong had a lot of idlers as his ears and eyes, and these eyes and ears were the same as those in Dongchang, which were pervasive. It is precisely because of the many eyes and ears that Ma Gonggong can sit firmly in Tianjin, and he can react immediately when there is a disturbance.

What will happen to offending Ma Gonggong, Zhang Bing doesn't dare to think about it.

The ancestor of the celebrant is not afraid, the high prince of Liaodong is not afraid, and the governor of Jinyiwei is not afraid, but he, the supervisor of the treasure banknote division, is very afraid.

Perhaps, the guys in this restaurant may be the eyes and ears of Ma Gonggong.

Zhang Bing subconsciously glanced at the restaurant guy who was serving food on the table, and for no reason he was a little envious of the father-in-law Ma in Tianjin.

This mentality is just like the envy of the villagers in Lishu Village when he returned to his hometown.

Everyone in the world envies those in high positions, who knows that high positions are not cold, and there are people outside the world.

But I don't know, when will I be able to be as beautiful as Ma Gonggong?

Zhang Bing sighed secretly.

Outside the noodle stall, the people of the carriage and horse shop beckoned to get into the car.

Three guests went down to the big car where Liangchen was, and two more came, a young couple, who returned to their mother's house in the capital. The old man who loved to smoke dry tobacco got out of the car and left, and the Chen mother and daughter, who went to Beijing to find a husband, were still there.

The cart went all the way to the north, out of Jinghai County, not far from Tongzhou.

In the past few days, the road is very stable, and the Dongchang Fanzi and Jinyi Tiqi who appeared a few days ago have never appeared again, and no one has mentioned the matter about the fat man.

Tongzhou is a prosperous place, and it is also the gateway of Beijing, where merchants from the south and north gather here.

The closer he got to Jingshi, the more Liangchen looked forward to it, thinking about what his second uncle looked like in the car during the day, and dreaming of him at night.
