Drive the RV back to Datang

Chapter 19: Chapter 19: The Jade Pendant

Li Hao grinned when he heard the words, and gave a thumbs up again. Fang Yiai was stunned for a moment. I have seen people who set prices on the ground, but I have never seen people who demand money like this.

"It's already five hundred." Li Hao blinked quickly, and kindly reminded him, "If you don't decide, you will continue to increase."

"Okay!" Fang Yiai gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "Five hundred guan is five hundred guan, just treat it as a beggar."

Li Hao was not angry at all, he still had the spirit of Ah Q. How could he be angry when he earned [-] guan for no reason? It was too late to be happy.

However, when Fang Yiai put his hand into his bosom, he suddenly remembered: "Five hundred coins, that's 50 copper coins, how could I carry so much money with me?"

Seeing that he didn't take out any money, Li Hao immediately turned dark: "What? No money?"

Fang Yiai said with a sullen expression: "I came out in a hurry, I forgot to bring it."

"Goodbye!" Li Hao turned his head and left.

"Don't...don't go!" Fang Yiai stepped forward and grabbed Li Hao's arm, jokingly, Li Hao was his only straw, how could he let him go.

Li Hao turned his head and glared at him: "Let go."

Fang Yiai let go obediently, and she was indeed a soft persimmon as recorded in history.

Fang Yiai muttered for a moment, then said, "How about I write you an IOU?"

Li Hao squinted his eyes: "I'm sorry, but your credit is not enough, so you don't owe any money on credit. I only want real money."

Fang Yiai turned around in a hurry, when he turned, the white jade pendant around his waist was dazzling.

Li Hao's eyes lit up. Although he doesn't know much about jade, he can definitely tell that this jade pendant is extraordinary, so he pointed to the jade pendant and said, "Why don't you use this jade pendant for five hundred guan."

"That can't be done!" Fang Yiai covered the jade pendant, squinted and shouted, "This jade pendant can't be given to anyone else."

"Then goodbye!" Li Hao turned around again, but was held back by Fang Yiai again.

Fang Yiai was struggling in his heart. He was a person without his own opinions. Now he was in a hurry, and he was even more at a loss. Li Hao urged him twice, and he gritted his teeth: "Okay, the jade pendant is for you, but you don't want to buy it?" Keep it safe, and I will ask you to redeem it at noon tomorrow at the latest."

"There's so much nonsense." Li Hao stretched out his hand, "Bring it here."

Fang Yiai reluctantly took off the jade pendant, put it in Li Hao's palm, and said: "Don't break it, I'll send you the money tomorrow at noon, what's your name, where do you live? "

Li Hao blinked and said nonsense, "My name is Zhao Qiansun, and I live in Nanhe Village, Jingyang County."

"Okay!" Fang Yiai couldn't wait to say, "The jade pendant has been pledged to you, please give me the poem."

Li Haodao: "Actually, this poem of mine is not a poem, but a new style of writing. You must have never seen it before. It's called Ci."

Fang Yiai said: "Read first and listen."

Li Hao came up to him and said in a low voice: "This poem is called "The Wind Enters the Pine", and the text reads: It costs money to buy money for a long spring, and I am drunk by the lake every day. Yucong is used to knowing the West Lake Road, and hissed arrogantly , In front of Gu Restaurant. Red apricots are fragrant in the flutes and drums, and green poplars are swinging in the shadows. The warm wind is ten li and the sky is beautiful, and the flowers are pressing down on the temples. , come to find flowers on Moshang."

After Fang Yiai finished listening, her eyes lit up and she nodded again and again: "Okay, good poetry, ah no, good words, really wonderful!"

Li Hao raised his eyebrows and smiled meanly: "How about it, it's worth the money."

"It's worth it! It's worth it! Even if it's my father..." Fang Yiai just wanted to say that even his father couldn't sing, but then she thought that she couldn't easily reveal her identity, or let others know whether Fang Xuanling's son could sing or not. When a poem is written, where will the Fang family's face be placed?

"As long as you are satisfied." Li Hao patted Fang Yiai's shoulder and asked, "Have you memorized it?"

Fang Yiai recited "The Wind Into the Pine" silently several times in her heart, and nodded vigorously after confirming that it was correct: "Yes, I've memorized it."

"Then I'm leaving. We will cooperate again when we have a chance." After saying that, Li Hao turned around and left, entered the restaurant from the backyard, went directly to the counter to check out and left. As for how Fang Yiai used that poem to pretend to be coercive, that was his business. up.

Leaving the restaurant with the donkey egg, Li Hao started looking for a pawnshop. He planned to pawn the jade pendant. As for Fang Yiai who said that he wanted to redeem the jade pendant, don’t be kidding. Is it a Pixiu?

There are quite a lot of pawnshops in Lantian County. After walking along the street for a while, Li Hao found a pawnshop. After entering, he handed the jade pendant to the shopkeeper. He refused to give it to him like a treasure, and said he would redeem it with five hundred guan, which shows that this jade pendant is definitely more than five hundred guan.What he was afraid of was unscrupulous profiteers bullying him, a layman, and reasoning that the quality of the jade pendant was not good, so he tried his best to lower the price. He secretly decided in his heart that he would never sell it below seven hundred guan.

The shopkeeper of the pawnshop is a little old man with a goatee. He picked up the jade pendant and looked at it for a while, and suddenly his expression became extremely horrified. Yes, it was horrified, not surprised, nor surprised. The old man was terrified for a moment, looked at Li Hao suspiciously, and asked: " Where did your jade pendant come from?"

Li Hao replied with a smile: "Don't worry, the way is very upright, neither stealing nor robbing."

"Your family?" the shopkeeper asked.

Li Hao didn't bother to explain, and simply nodded: "Yes, heirloom."

"What's your name?"

"My surname is Li, is there a problem?" Li Hao was upset, he was just a jade pendant, and this guy even checked his household registration.

As soon as the little old man heard that his surname was Li, he immediately felt relieved and said, "It's fine if the surname is Li. How much are you going to pay?"

Seeing that he wanted to ask for a price himself, Li Hao simply decided to ask for a higher price, leaving some room for bargaining, and said, "Eight hundred guan."

"Okay, it's only [-] guan." The little old man readily agreed to the price.

Li Hao was dumbfounded, it's so frank, it's too bad, I was tricked, this jade pendant is definitely more than [-] guan, when he thought of this, he quickly put on a smile: "Mr., I'm wrong."

"How can this be done?" The little old man raised his eyebrows and said solemnly, "Business must be based on credit. You have already made an offer, and I haven't countered the offer. How can you go back on your word?"

Li Hao pursed his lips, forget it, anyway, it’s a windfall, let’s earn less, eight hundred guan is a lot, it’s enough as start-up capital, and then we’ll just sit and wait for the chicks in the chicken farm grown up.

At this time, the little old man said again: "By the way, the store didn't prepare so much money. In this case, I will give you five hundred guan first, and I will give you an IOU for the remaining three hundred guan. You leave your address and I will send you tomorrow." People send the money over."

Li Hao looked at him suspiciously with squinted eyes, and said, "You don't want to cheat me out of money, do you?"

The old man was so angry that he laughed: "You little boy, have you been deceived a lot since you were a child? This is a time-honored store, and there has never been any cheating. If the old man doesn't pay back the money tomorrow, you can go to the county government with the IOU. Just tell the old man."

Li Hao knew that although the merchants in the Tang Dynasty were slippery, they were still very trustworthy, so he nodded and agreed: "Okay, my family lives in Shanghe Village, Lantian County, my name is Li Hao, and the largest house in Shanghe Village is my home."

The old man wrote down Li Hao's address and name in a note, and then gave Li Hao an IOU of [-] guan, and gave him [-] guan in a big cloth bag. He also rented a carriage for him and helped him send home.

After Li Hao got home, he asked Du Hong and Wang San to move all the money into the empty room next door to him, and put them in a big box. The box was full of money, and it looked like a sense of accomplishment. Du Hong admired Li Hao very much, but unexpectedly Li Hao is not very old, but he is very good at making money. He went out empty-handed this morning, and when he came back at night, he brought back [-] coins. It was like a miracle.

Now that he has money, Li Hao asked Du Hong to expand the chicken farm and hatch a large number of eggs at the same time. He decided to raise [-] broiler chickens for the first batch.

Du Hong refused Li Hao's behavior of raising chickens. Why, because Li Hao's chicken farm was set up in the house, and the two courtyards had just been repaired, but they were used by him to raise chickens. Could Du Hong not be distressed?But Li Hao is the head of the family. Since he issued the order, he can only follow through and start hatching chickens artificially.

After Fang Yiai came out of the toilet, she went back to the dining table and sang a song "The Wind Enters the Pine". She succeeded in pretending, but Du He was deflated. It's not scientific at all that I can recite poems, and even recite a good poem.

Fang Yiai's superficial appearance, after coming out of the restaurant, he started to borrow money everywhere, don't think his father is rich because he is the Duke of the state, his monthly pocket money is only four pennies, it's not enough for him at all If it's expensive, ask him to take out five hundred guan at once, hehe...

Fang Yiai's popularity seems to be not very good. I found several dandy friends, and the answers were all the same. I have no money. Fang Yi loves to be distressed. I didn't sleep all night. That jade pendant is very important to him, and even to the whole Fang family. The important thing is that he has to redeem it. The rabbit will bite people when it is cornered. Fang Yiai was cornered this time too. He was so scared that he decided not to redeem it, but to rob it.

Since he wanted to rob things, he naturally called for some capable helpers. He called for a good helper this time, Cheng Yaojin's eldest son - Cheng Chumo.

Cheng Chumo has the demeanor of his father, Cheng Yaojin, why do you say that, because he looks alike, except for his face, he and his father are the same body, with a strong back and waist, a strong fist, and he has also learned boxing and kicking With skills, it's not like playing with a 14-year-old boy.

Cheng Chumo is also a bastard, when he heard that he was going to rob, he immediately felt as if he had been beaten to death, calling for friends, and set off with his two bastard younger brothers and Fang Yiai.

However, when they went to Jingyang County and inquired, there was no such thing as Nanhe Village, let alone Zhao Qiansun, and Fang Yiai was stunned.

It doesn't matter if Fang Yiai is confused, but Cheng Chumo is very unhappy. The brothers of the Cheng family came to Jingyang County, and they ran empty legs. No one would be happy. The Cheng family has a tough and martial style. Crazy, pay attention, it is not a typo, it is "crazy", not "wind".Cheng Yaojin has always believed that there is nothing in this world that can't be solved with fists, if one punch can't solve it, then another punch.

Cheng Chumo and his two bastard younger brothers have inherited Cheng Yaojin's fine traditions well, and then a group of people beat Fang Yiai violently, and after the beating, they got on their horses and returned to Chang'an in style.

When Fang Yiai returned home, she happened to meet Fang Xuanling. He knew that things were getting serious, so he didn't dare to hide anymore. The jade pendant was stolen.

When Fang Xuanling heard it, he immediately became furious. It was not an ordinary jade pendant. It was given by Li Shimin when he gave Fang Yiai a marriage. It was a token of engagement between Fang Yiai and Princess Gaoyang. It was actually stolen. It's okay, if you can't find it, Li Shimin will be furious, it's a trivial matter if the marriage is bad, I'm afraid Fang Yiai will probably go to jail.
