What is Stay?

It's just a disguised retention.

"Stay, stay, it means to stay."

The man's words were vaguely engraved in his mind and eyes.

"And then?"

He asked the man again.

"Later, it's just endless remorse and a blind desire to make amends. Doesn't Childe want to know what kind of business this Liubangju is doing? Let me tell you the truth, this Liubangju is a pawnshop! ”

"Pawnshop!"

He was shocked in his heart, and his mouth was shocked, and he shouted loudly.

"Yes, but we are talking about pawnshops, but we are not pawnshops, because we are not just trying to make money, but also to help people retain their beauty, love, family, and friendship. Therefore, it is said: stay and live. ”

"I see, I never thought that this stay still has such a meaning."

He muttered to himself.

"If you say it's retention, then what's the retention?"

He asked, confused.

"Childe is really to the point, the villain admires, admires."

He doesn't understand, obviously he didn't say anything, so how can he talk about the words "hit the nail on the head"?

He then asked rhetorically.

And the man also saw the confusion in his heart, so he told him all his understanding.

"Childe, the villain is not mocking you when he says this, but he is really full of admiration. Because, the villain thinks that Childe can always point to this point when he speaks, and he can also talk about this most important place at once. ”

He was still confused, a little half-understood.

"Let's put it this way, the beauty we keep in our dwellings is unusual. As the saying goes: 'The sky has unpredictable circumstances, and people have good and bad luck', which is naturally true. And if something happens to this person, if the money is not enough, he will find us. In this way, Childe can be regarded as understanding a little? ”

"Oh, I see."

As if suddenly realized, he praised repeatedly.

"And if you don't have enough money, you will think of pawning items, and if you want pawn items, they will come to you. Right? ”

"Yes, Childe is really smart and clever."

The man's admiration for him couldn't help but multiply several times, like the tide of the Qiantang River in August, undulating and rising, and each wave was higher than the other.

"But I still don't understand what it means. Can you explain it to me a little more? ”

Still questioning, he asked the man.

"Childe doesn't understand, it's right, I'll explain it to you one by one."

The man then told him as if he were going through a long, long process for himself.

"Historically, this pawnshop has been operating for the sake of making money, never for customers and the original owner of pawn items, and in the old days, it was a shop that only used to take collateral and lend usury. The amount of the loan depends on the valuation of the collateral. The amount of the loan is generally less than 50% of the value of the collateral, and the exploitation is serious. The mortgage term ranges from six months to eighteen months. If the mortgagee fails to redeem after expiration, the collateral will belong to the pawnshop. ”

"But what?"

He interrupted the man's words, saying that he knew all these things clearly, and there was no need to repeat them, wasting time, and the man also figured out two or three from the time, tone and question of his words, and then ignored this paragraph and continued his original intention and heart to stay and reside.

"If all those items belong to the pawnshop, then naturally their use and ownership also belong to the pawnshop, so what will happen to the pawnshop if the pawnshop meets a very rich and knowledgeable person? I'm afraid that the son doesn't have to think about it! ”

The man paused, thinking that he was too clever to be smart, and the next little points could be guessed without being pointed out.

And what happened next was exactly what the man thought, and what he guessed was the same as what the man wanted to say and didn't say.

"Then in order to maximize profits, this pawnshop will definitely sell the items that have not been redeemed in time at the highest price."

He didn't think about it, he just said it, as if these words had already been deeply engraved into his heart.

"Yes, Childe really lived up to the villain's expectations of Childe. Yes, this item ......"

Before the man could finish speaking, he interrupted the man. And the man did not show the slightest annoyance, but put on a look full of anticipation and joy, waiting for him to say the same.

"If this item is sold at a high price, its original owner will not be able to pay more to redeem it, let alone ......"

He seemed to have learned the way the man spoke, and he deliberately pretended to be it, and paused.

"Childe, but it's okay to say, and don't say what?"

The man seemed to be very curious about what he said, and urged him to go on very quickly.

"Not to mention that this pawnshop is embarrassed to ask for it back, or to buy it back, I am afraid that it will not be possible according to the traditional rules of this pawnshop. After all, once this rule is broken, I'm afraid this pawnshop won't be able to do it anymore. Shopkeeper, do you think this is or isn't it? ”

"Yes, yes, yes, there is no doubt about it. Childe can understand this thing, analyze it so deeply, so exquisitely, the villain really admires the five-body throw. ”

The man seemed to be really shocked by his words, and his expression of expectation and admiration was added to his full admiration and appreciation.

"Wait. Shopkeeper, don't praise me first, after all, I haven't finished speaking. ”

He stretched out his left hand at the man and waved it, shook his head, and said indifferently.

And after the man listened to his words, the face that was already admired and could no longer be admired, as if more admiration and expectation had been added, it was really like a pomegranate flower blooming wantonly in June, bewitching and red.

"Oh? Not done yet? It seems that Childe is indeed extraordinary, and it really makes the villain amazed and amazed. ”

The man pretended to be indifferent, as if he didn't care.

"Yes, there are still a lot of people who have not been analyzed, and I don't know if the shopkeeper is still willing to listen? If you don't want to, there's nothing to do. ”

He said lightly, and from time to time he shook the pu fan in his hand to try to create a little cool breeze to relieve the scorching and embarrassing atmosphere.

"It's okay, since Childe hasn't finished speaking, the villain is not easy to interrupt, besides, there is no one at this time, and just let Childe spend precious time telling a story to the villain and the guys on the side of the villain, I don't know if Childe can reward the villain with a thin face?"

The man bowed his hand and said very politely and culturedly. At the same time, he didn't forget to tell the guys on the side to serve him tea and pour water, and arrange for him to be seated.

He saw everything in his eyes, and although he was very satisfied, it was inconvenient for him to say it explicitly, so he had to make a gesture to the man as a courtesy.

"There's a shopkeeper in Lao."

He said to him lightly.

"No, no, no, don't say that, it's the villain who asked the son to tell a story for the villain, and he wants to be entertained well, and the son is also a guest of this 'stay', and the villain should be treated politely, so don't be so polite, it's really annoying the villain, hurry up, son, please sit down and taste tea."

He replied to him lightly.

After a while, the guy had prepared the tea and arranged the seats.

He and the shopkeeper of "Liuwanju" asked each other to sit first, and then, they sat down and drank tea and discussed, and several small guys lined up in a line, standing behind the man in a neat manner, looking very official.

"Childe, please continue."

The man reached out and made a "please" gesture to let him continue.

"Then I'll be here to make a fool of myself, and ask the shopkeeper, don't laugh at it."

He also returned the salute and said that he was about to start.

"How so? The villain is cut off from this. Please don't worry about it, but it's okay. Please. ”

"Okay, thank you. Since the shopkeeper just said that this 'staying' is different from other pawnshops, and he said that this 'staying', 'staying' means retaining. Therefore, if you are not mistaken, this 'Liuwangju' is a pawnshop in the open, but this is a place to store things in the dark. ”

He wanted to continue, but was interrupted by a burst of applause. He turned his head to see the source of the applause, but in the dazzling sunlight, he saw another person.

"Well said, good."

The man admired his words again and again, but I don't know if he was convinced, or what?

"Dare to ask who this uncle is?"

He looked at the man who had suddenly appeared, quickly stood up from his chair, and asked with a look of confusion. But before the man could speak, the shopkeeper who had "stayed in the house" had already spoken loudly.

"I don't know if the owner is coming, and I hope to punish him."

He looked at the shopkeeper, then at the man, and the doubt in his chest doubled again, and he couldn't figure it out.

I saw that the man didn't care about the shopkeeper's rudeness, but said lightly.

"It's okay, I don't know who this son is?"

He instantly swam out of the whirlpool of doubts. Only then did I understand that the person in front of me was the real master of this "stay-and-stay", and I couldn't help but have an indescribable admiration and respect for him in my heart.

"In Xia Li Yiyang, I am fortunate to have the opportunity to meet the owner today."

Due to the unknown respect and closeness in his heart, Li Yiyang couldn't help but bend his already arched body downward.

"Oh, it turned out to be Brother Li, you don't have to be so polite, please hurry up, it was originally Brother Li You are a guest, I should treat you well, why did you turn it upside down and salute me as a son. It really bothered me. Hey......"

The man slowly helped Li Yiyang up, and said with some embarrassment.

"No, no, no, don't say that, the owner is voluntary, and I really admire and appreciate the virtue and kindness of the owner. In addition, there is also a sense of familiarity and closeness to the owner. Yes, that's it. ”

He still saluted him.

"Brother Li, don't do that. Sit down, sit down. ”

The man repeatedly called him to sit down, and subconsciously sat down on the chair where the shopkeeper had just sat down.

"Then how embarrassing, how can he sit with the owner in Xia, how can he actually sit with the owner. No, no, it's good to stand down, just stand. ”

He declined with embarrassment.

"Sit down, how did I become a great benevolent person, Brother Li, you better stop teasing me."

The man waved his hand and said with a smile.

"No, no, no, don't be modest, I probably know all your good deeds."

He said to the man.

"Oh? Yes, then I would like to hear Brother Li's conjecture and explanation. ”

The man was very curious, so he asked him in a tone that was very puzzled, but he was eager to know the results and the facts.

"The proprietor opened this 'stay and save the house' not to make huge profits, but to help the poor people who are suffering and in dire straits. Isn't it doing good? ”

He said to the man, who only nodded slightly, and understood the meaning slightly.

"That's it, in this way, is it a great act of kindness? Am I a great good? That's really a bad praise, a bad one. Besides, I opened this pawnshop in the hope that people would come to me and pawn goods in exchange for money. I'm just here to make money. Brother Li, it seems that you really misjudged me. Hahaha......"

The man said to him, and laughed out loud a few times before he remembered the final ending.

"The owner is really too humble, and this explanation makes me admire the owner a little more."

He said to the man.

"Oh? How so? ”

The man asked him again.

"The proprietor does not make a profit like other pawnshops, and pushes the silver taels of the pawn to the lowest price, but collects it at a high price. Moreover, unlike other shops, the proprietors did not shorten the date to the shortest and raised the ransom to the maximum, but on the contrary, they were very lenient with them, giving each of them plenty of time to raise money, and giving them the lowest ransom to redeem what belonged to them. Isn't that a great act of kindness? ”

He asked the man righteously, but although his tone was a little harsh, he still didn't feel a little anger or anger.

"But what?"

The man still had an indifferent, unconcerned expression.

"However, this 'staying' not only does not oppress the people, but also keeps their most precious things for them, the owner, is this or not?"

When he said these words, his tone was no longer as serious and concerned as before, but rather the same as the person just now.

"How do you know? How do you know the original intention and original intention of my 'stay'? But what did others tell you? ”

The man's eyes were full of blood-red filaments, full of anger that wanted to bite anyone to pieces, tearing them apart, as if he was a dragon that had been touched by someone, and was about to roar and roar.

The man looked at the shopkeeper behind him and the rest of the men, tried to find out what was inside and out, and beat him severely.

"It's not us, it's not us."

The shopkeeper and the rest of the men seemed to see the feeling and words in the man's eyes, and hurriedly waved their hands to explain, very panicked and afraid, and explained again and again.

"Yes...... Be...... It was the boy himself who guessed it. It was not revealed by the villain, I hope you will check it clearly. ”

So, as soon as they finished speaking, they all knelt on the ground and quickly kowtowed to the man for forgiveness.

"Oh? Is that really the case? Did Brother Li really guess it? Didn't my subordinates reveal it? ”

The man looked at the kneeling people, then turned to look at him as he was standing.

"Yes, it was guessed, and it was none of the business's business. If the owner is angry, don't vent this anger on them, or send it to the lower body. They are innocent after all. ”

He knelt on his right knee and said to the man with his hands clenched into fists.

"Okay. That being the case, then I won't bother with them in general, and I hope that Brother Li will get up and talk. ”

The man stood up and stretched out his hand to pull him up.

But he didn't want to get up, but said.

"It's all dragged down by them, please let them get up first, otherwise, they won't dare to get up."

"Okay. Since Brother Li has interceded for you, why don't you stand up quickly and thank Brother Li. ”

The man didn't turn his head, but only said to Li Yiyang, although his voice was small, he was not angry and arrogant.

"Yes, the villain and others thank Gongzi for saving his life, and he will definitely go to the soup for Gongzi, and he will not hesitate."

Saying that, they didn't dare to get up, as if Li Yiyang didn't let them get up, they didn't dare to get up.

"Hurry up, get up."

Li Yiyang stood up and helped them all up.

"You're welcome, they're all my own brothers."

"Yes, the future son will be the eldest brother of our people. See Big Brother. ”

The crowd shouted together.

"Don't do this, it's just a brother, I won't be your big brother."

Li Yiyang politely declined.

"No, if you don't agree, we won't get up."

They said almost in unison, their voices shaking like thunder and roaring.

"This, isn't this embarrassing for me?"

"How is this difficult? Since they all said so and done so, you shouldn't refute their intentions, just agree, otherwise you can't bear to see them kneel all the time? ”

The man fiddled with the toy in his hand, said absently, no one looked at it, and after a while, he said again.

"Don't you want to say that they are tired of kneeling and will get up automatically, they will not do it, and if they do not obey orders, the consequences will be serious. Therefore, it is better for you to agree earlier, so that they will not suffer any more flesh and skin. ”

Li Yiyang seemed a little embarrassed, he didn't want to be their eldest brother casually, nor did he want them to suffer anymore, but unfortunately, both sides could not be satisfied, so in desperation, he had to reluctantly agree.

"Okay, I promise you. From now on, we will share in blessings and hardships. ”

One by one, he lifted them up, and one by one he patted them on the shoulder.

Just as they were preparing to cherish this hard-won and very bumpy brotherhood, the man spoke slowly, his voice no longer as sharp and angry as before, but more low and sad.

"Do you know why this place is called 'Liuwanju'?"

Li Yiyang was a little puzzled, he was thinking.

Didn't you already tell him clearly, why do you ask? Could it be that he is old and has a bad memory? Still is?

However, he could not say that.

So he said.

Stay, stay,

This 'stay' is called by this name,

Self means

The meaning of retention
