queen she is not doing business

Chapter 19 Pawnshop
It is a small town on the border between the two countries. Because of the cold wind, few people walk on the street.

The boy who had stayed in the cave with Sheng Fengxue was standing outside the Zhumen of the Yan Mansion, his lips were purple from the cold in the weather that had just stopped from the heavy rain.

"If I had known this, I should have brought a few more coats to go out...it's so cold." He muttered to himself, looking up at the closed door of Yan Mansion for a while.

The young man was as light as a swallow, jumped up to the top of the wall next to the gate of the Yan Mansion, looked up, spotted the location of the flower hall, and sneaked in.

There is no shadow when it comes, and there is no trace when it goes.

No one saw.

noon.

Yan Ma, the old lady of Yan Mansion, went into the flower hall to pack up and saw a small box. Because she had never seen it before, she hurriedly took it to Yan Yuxin and her daughter.

Lying quietly in the small box was a rough, dark green square jade pendant, half the size of a palm, tied with an old red thread, with a picture of a tiger descending the mountain engraved on the front.

The pattern is not fine, and the carving technique is obviously clumsy.

Yan Yuxin picked it up curiously and looked at it. She felt that there was a word on the back, so she turned it over. When she saw it, there were two words on the back——Wei Xiu.

This is General Wei's name.

Seeing that word, she even trembled when she spoke to Zhu Qingqing.

"Mom...let's go back to the room first!..."

Zhu Qingqing stared at the two words on the back of the jade pendant, and was so excited that she almost exclaimed. After ordering the maid to continue cleaning the yard, she hurried back to her yard with Yan Yuxin.

Yan's mother stayed where she was in a daze, not knowing why.

After closing the door tightly, the two of them looked at it again, and there was the word "Wei Xiu" on the jade pendant, which was very eye-catching.

Zhu Qingqing's hand holding the jade pendant kept shaking, and he was too excited to speak.

Seeing her excited appearance, Yan Yuxin kept nodding, stomping, jumping and cheering, feeling happier than ever before.

"Mother... Hurry up and send someone to notify my father!" Yan Yuxin suddenly shouted.

"Yes, yes, Yuxin, you are right!!" Zhu Qingqing echoed very quickly.

Not long ago, Yan Yuxin went on a blind date with Wei Xiu. She didn't know Wei Xiu's identity at first, so she didn't put much effort into playing the role of her ladylike lady. The two had a bad quarrel at the time.

Later, Yan Ling came back and told the true identity of Wei Xiu, Yan Yuxin's mother and daughter, and Yan Yuxin regretted it after knowing it.

At that time, she thought that she had lost the chance to hug General Wei's thigh, but only two days later, "General Wei" sneaked in and sent the token over.

So, how could Yan Yuxin's mother and daughter not be excited? !

Since ancient times, there have been many long night dreams.

She has to marry General Wei as soon as possible, so that he won't regret it when the time comes!
The young man rode his horse galloping towards the capital, depressed all the way, the more he looked at the new clothes, the more he found them intrusive, and finally took them off violently and threw them on the side of the road.

Occasionally someone passed by, and seeing him looked like a madman.

"Come on, let's go to the capital first, the little Highness's birthday is coming soon."

The white horse is gradually stained with mud, which is really not elegant.

With the help of the little pony, Sheng Fengxue arrived at the place mentioned by the woodcutter in the afternoon.

Standing in front of the inn, she was in trouble again. She was penniless, how could she have any money to eat and stay in a hotel?
The shopkeeper in his forties, wearing a high hat and smiling like a businessman, came out of the inn, took a look at Sheng Fengxue who was dressed plainly, and guessed her identity very well, so he He reminded Sheng Fengxue with a pleasant face.

"Miss, if money is tight recently, you can pawn the valuables around you at Nangong Pawnshop, and come back to redeem them when you have more money."

The storekeeper pointed out that it was the pawn shop the woodcutter said.

"The trustworthiness is extremely high. This is a branch opened by a wealthy person in the capital, and the lady in charge is also there today." The shopkeeper added.

Sheng Fengxue had just walked out of the mountains, he guessed that she wanted to go to Beijing, the store was here, and had seen many passers-by like this, so he was able to see through Sheng Fengxue's difficulties at a glance.

"... Oh." Sheng Fengxue responded, looking at the pawn shop next to him.

A small shop, much newer than this inn, although the layout is small, the building materials used are the best.

"Just pawn, don't ask the way out." The shopkeeper kindly reminded again.

Sheng Fengxue didn't have anything to pawn around, and she didn't take any extra things from the Du Mansion that didn't belong to her.

She suddenly remembered, the way Nangong Ningzhi looked at the white robe earlier, Sheng Fengxue felt that maybe he could try to pawn the dress first.

"Just redeem it later, and it's not convenient for me to take it on the road. It will be troublesome if it wears out."

Sheng Fengxue thought to himself.

During the pawn period, the pawnshop is obliged to keep the pawned property of the customer well. Once the pawn period is over, the pawnshop will dispose of the pawned property by itself, or take it to auction, or sell it directly.

Sheng Fengxue knew these rules.

Having made up her mind, she walked to the Nangong pawn shop nearby.

"Miss, may I ask what do you want to pawn?" The other party asked straightforwardly the moment Sheng Fengxue stepped into the pawn shop.

The eleven or twelve-year-old girl in light blue brocade kept her eyes rolling, staring at Sheng Fengxue.

"Please show me how much money this dress can be worth." Sheng Fengxue took out the white robe straightforwardly.

The white robe was carried by the girl to the backstage to find someone to estimate the value. After a while, Sheng Fengxue walked out of the pawn shop with 20 taels of silver. As soon as she stepped out of the pawn shop, the little pony came to her side wagging its tail.

"Shanyou." Shouted Sheng Fengxue, stroking the pony's head, it seemed that it was used to the new name it just got.

When Shanyou yelled in a low voice, she suddenly remembered the reason why she named the little pony - a kind person will be blessed by the heavens!

"...No way!" Sheng Fengxue stomped his feet fiercely, suddenly withdrew his hand from Shanyou's head, and then quickly turned back into the pawn shop.

The girl was so frightened by her sudden action that she turned her head back, and when Sheng Fengxue went back to the pawn shop, she already knew the reason, so she asked with a smile like a flower: "Do you regret it?"

"Holding, I'm sorry, it's not my property after all, I'm not very good at making decisions on my own!" Sheng Fengxue didn't bother to explain.

"What a pity!" the girl said regretfully, "... To be honest, I quite like that robe, it's extremely rare."

"I'm sorry," Sheng Fengxue stood up straight, and hurriedly bowed and apologized, "I'm really, very sorry."

"It's okay. My pawn shop never forces customers. Forcing is no different from robbing. If my sister knows, she will be unhappy." The girl smiled and said with a gentle attitude.

"I have caused you trouble." Sheng Fengxue apologized again.

He became penniless again.

But now she is no longer confused as before.

"It's okay," the girl handed the white robe back to Sheng Fengxue, touching her wet cuffs, "This white robe is waterproof, if it rains, Miss might as well use it as a raincoat."

"It's not mine after all, I have to cherish it even more." Sheng Fengxue said.

She regretted it very much at this time, she almost did something wrong!
The girl nodded approvingly, and then said to Sheng Fengxue: "You stay here, wait for me a little while."

After all, the girl went straight into the pawnshop, and when she came out, she had a big red umbrella and a harness backpack in her hand.

"These old things are still idle, so I'll give them to you." The girl stuffed the things directly into Sheng Fengxue's arms.

"...Eh? How is that possible!" Sheng Fengxue took a step back as she spoke, not daring to pick it up.

"It's okay... If you feel sorry, you can buy me a new umbrella when you have money in the future. I will be here on the 24th of every month." The girl said with a smile.

Sheng Fengxue thought for a while and finally nodded, stood still and bowed to the girl again.

The girl jumped away and still said with a smile: "If in the future, the owner of the white robe really wants to give up the white robe, please be sure to be a pawnshop in Nangong."

Things are not her own, Sheng Fengxue can't decide.

"That's just what I said, the Nangong family doesn't force anything." The girl said seriously.

"If there is a chance, I will help you to ask." Sheng Fengxue said.

"Okay," the girl nodded with a smile, "I don't want to force you."
