Chapter 18
The courtyard here is a three-entry courtyard, and because it is the property of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, it is not too shabby.

Entering from a three-room gatehouse and passing the screen wall, there is a front hall with three rooms and five rooms, and a small Baosha outside. The middle hall has five rooms and seven rooms. A place where second-class maids live.

Jingse lives in the main room, Lianqiu and Mingxia live in the east side room, Qingxue and Liuyun live in the west side room.

Madam Zheng lived in an upside-down room in the outer courtyard with a few rough envoys who lit the fire and cleaned the house.

Calculated in this way, the east and west rooms in the outer courtyard are all empty.

Lianqiu didn't know the identities of Fan Chen and Fan Yue.

When she heard Jing Se's arrangement, her eyes flickered, then disappeared in a flash, her complexion returned to normal, she slowly bent her knees, and said in a faint voice, "Yes, this servant understands."

No need to think about it, Jing Se also knows what Lianqiu is planning, it's just that later she will find a way to pass this matter back to Jinling to let Su Aoyu know.

Jing Se looked away calmly, and let them make arrangements by themselves, while she led Haohao to the back hall.But she was thinking in her heart that she had to find a way to get rid of Lianqiu as soon as possible, otherwise it would be an eyesore, she has always had no tolerance for sand in her eyes.

But right now, she has another thing to worry about - all the expenses of Fan Chen's living here recently.

With the five taels of silver earned from embroidering and inserting the screen, Jingse bought two bolts of medium-quality cotton material to make winter clothes for Haohao, plus the expenses of buying various nutritional supplements for Haohao in the past month, Now there are less than two or three taels of money left in my hand.

No matter how you calculate it, it is impossible to afford Fan Chen's expensive nursing expenses.

After thinking about it, Jing Se focused on the rare Kunlun jade pendant.

Sitting in front of the bronze mirror, she carefully took out the jade pendant that had accompanied her for 20 years from the bottom of the dowry box, put it in her palm and looked at it for a moment, and made a decision without much thought.

She is going to sell this jade pendant!

In terms of the quality of the texture and the fineness of the carving, this piece of jade can be sold for at least 300 taels of silver in Jinling City.

Jing Se reckoned that in a remote place like Huaqiao Town, it would be considered good if the pawnshop could give 100 taels of silver, which is still the most budgeted. If you meet a black-hearted shopkeeper, it is possible to pay only a few dozen taels or even a few cars. After all, There was only one pawn shop in the town, and the shopkeeper might be able to make sure of this and set a black price.

Having decided on the idea of ​​selling the jade pendant, Jing Se rested in peace of mind after washing up. The next morning, before dawn, Jing Se woke Hao Hao softly, took the Kunlun jade pendant, and the mother and son went out quietly.

At that time, Lianqiu and the others were still awake.In order to avoid many unnecessary incidents, Jing Se deliberately picked this hour. She had already made plans, and when she arrived in the town, it was almost dawn.

Haohao rubbed his sleepy eyes, and tilted his little head towards Jingse puzzledly, his voice was still charming when he just woke up, "Mother, where are we going?"

Jing Se said: "Go to the town." After she finished speaking, she realized that Haohao hadn't woken up yet, so she hurriedly stepped forward and squatted down: "Haohao, come up quickly, mother will carry you on her back."

"Hao Hao can go." He shook his head, in a haze, his small face was fair and jade-like, compared to a month ago, he was completely reborn.

Now Jingse saw her son more and more, and kissed his little cheek, she insisted: "Hey, come up quickly, mother is carrying you on her back, and it won't be long before she arrives."

Haohao couldn't resist Jingse, so he had to lie on her back, wrapping his fleshy little arms around her neck.

This life was reborn for revenge.Jing Se thought, even if she never gets married, having such an obedient and well-behaved son is enough.

When I arrived at the pawn shop in the town, the shopkeeper held the Kunlun jade pendant and looked at it for a long time, his old eyes sparkling.

Putting down the jade pendant, he cleared his throat, looked at Jing Se, and said solemnly: "20 taels of silver, no more."

Jing Se sneered in her heart, thinking that she guessed right, it really was the unscrupulous boss.

Cursing her lips slightly, she smiled, "Shopkeeper, I don't intend to sell jade to you."

The shopkeeper's face changed slightly, and his brows were wrinkled. Before he could speak, Jing Se said again: "I entrust this piece of jade to you. Within three days, someone will give you 500 taels of silver to take it away. At that time, I will give it to you." How about you divide it into 100 taels?"

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up immediately, "Madam, are you serious?"

"That's natural." Jing Se tapped on his counter with her fingertips, and gestured: "You first write me a receipt and put your fingerprint on it."

The shopkeeper hesitated and said, "What if no one comes to buy it within three days?"

Jing Se raised her eyebrows, "If no one comes to buy it, I'll take the jade pendant and compensate you 20 taels. Is this the head office?"

The shopkeeper looked at it carefully, and found that the jade pendant was indeed of high-quality quality, and he couldn't be wrong. He didn't lose money at all in this transaction, so he simply nodded and quickly issued a receipt to Jing Se.

After receiving the receipt, Jing Se carefully put it in her sleeve pocket, and curled her mouth when she turned around.

Looking at Huaqiao Town, the only people she knew who could afford this piece of jade were Fan Chen and Fan Yue.

In three days, she had plenty of ways to persuade Fan Yue to buy the jade.Anyway, this piece of jade is useless to her, so it's better to play the last bit of utility, to deceive the two brothers, and use their own money to take care of Fan Chen.
