Chapter 20 Golden hairpin

Dehengdang, the largest pawnshop in Shangji City, is even one of the top two pawnshops in Fanyang. Shangji City is a gold market vault. Not only are there rich giants and giants who invest a lot of money for the top brands in the wind and the moon, but also fanatical gamblers who lose their property and do not hesitate to turn over the pawn business to win back. At one time, Shangji City is the only one who eats the rich merchant industry.

Deheng dares to accept anything. Whether it is the imperial official or the rich side, as long as he can take something, he can be converted into silver money. Even the business of buying and selling people is seamless. The magnificence on the surface of Shangji City covers the embarrassment of the people at the bottom. The rich drink and eat meat and go to the brothels. The poor pick up leftovers and have a hungry meal. Some father even pawned the little girl in the family and won dozens of silver, which is called 'nurturing money', which is regarded as more than ten years of upbring gratitude. Love.

In history, Shangji City has always been known as the first city in the world, the most luxurious city in the world, and the most suitable city for enjoyment. In the eyes of the people at the bottom, all this is just a whitewash of skeletons, and Shangji City is actually squeezing the poor and fattening the rich.

From the perspective of the whole history of Fanyang, the dynasty is rich, but the gap between the rich is huge. The richer the rich, the poor are, the poor are, the aristocratic class of the dynasty is lush, and the flat-headed people as the foundation are decadent and withered.

This day, Deheng became a middle-aged man with a short beard and a blue coat. It seems that his family is rich. But Deheng's staff is so old-fashioned. He is well ardent that some rich people don't want to show their wealth and keep a low profile. When they really take action, it's really shocking.

The man quickly came forward and smiled and said, "Master, are you here to pick a baby or come out? Our store, a time-honored brand, as long as you always open your mouth, we can vacate it for you!"

The middle-aged man smiled and took out a silver ticket in his arms and stuffed it into the clerk's collar. "Come and have a look, will you show me the way?"

The clerk wiped the folded silver ticket and looked at the face value. He immediately smiled happily and flattered. Seeing that no one noticed him around, he immediately kneaded the silver ticket into a ball and held it in the palm of his hand. Master, what kind of baby do you want to open your mouth? Even if our store sells it to you at a discount, it's okay to make such a cheerful friend like you!"

The middle-aged man rubbed his beard, walked into the brightly lit attic, slowly paced, and casually glanced at the various treasures displayed against the wall. His expression was a little boring.

How dare this man look down on these babies? The man is even more happy. The antique treasures on the first floor are just a good-looking facade, which is not expensive. Deheng is a five-fold attic, displaying the value of treasures layer by layer. At most, the first floor makes the layman look brilliant and expensive. It is very expensive. For decent officials and dignitaries, it is too tacky.

If you can ask the old man who handed out thousands of silver bills as soon as he started to buy a treasure on the third floor and the fourth floor, he will not be remembered? As for the treasures on the fifth floor, he didn't dare to imagine that Fanyang could buy only a handful of treasures displayed on the fifth floor! He doesn't believe that he can meet such a noble man with great luck!

The middle-aged man walked to the second floor with the clerk, holding the carved railing, and asked with a smile, "Let me ask something first!"

"Master, the little guarantee is full of words!"

The middle-aged man whispered for a moment and pouted, "Rein recent days, your store has received a gold hairpin flower engraved with a seal, or some other exquisite gold gadget?"

Golden gadget? The man secretly slandered that gold can't be sold at a good price. Pure gold and silver are tacky. The richest people's most indispensable thing is gold and silver. If you buy gold jewelry with equivalent gold, you can make some money by handwork at most, and there will be no profit.

Unless the thousand catties of gold can be refined with a little fiery gold, ordinary gold gadgets are really nothing.

Officials and dignitaries all like precious stones, corals, jade and other treasures that are more elegant than gold, especially precious jade, which is said to be priceless.

The clerk couldn't hold his smile and said, "Guest, there are 100 or 80 pieces of gold things in the store a day. I really can't remember the small ones! Shall I check the account book for you?"

The middle-aged man just smiled, looked like a good talker, and stretched out his hand and stuffed a thousand-worth silver ticket on the clerk's collar.

"Hey, I'm a cheerful person. I'll turn over the account book for you. You can rest in the elegant seat on the second floor first!" The guy smiled.

The middle-aged man stroked his beard and still smiled, looking like a good gentleman.

He is just an ordinary guy in Deheng, turning over the books? He doesn't have this qualification. He has to ask the second shopkeeper of the pawnshop to say that he is just rich and easy to do things. He has received 2,000 taels of silver bills, leaving one for himself, and another one of the second shopkeeper of filial piety to help check the account books. If he can find what the talkative middle-aged person wants, there must be a reward.

You can't do anything else. You must have a good look at people's faces. You can send two thousand taels of silver tickets without pain. You can see the background behind you.

The middle-aged man still just laughed and walked into the elegantly decorated compartment. Looking at the window, the city was full of traffic and lively.

He put his hands in the sleeves of a sea-blue coat and looks like a small citizen, with a beard and a smile. He looks like a lazy man who can still live a day. It's just that his deep eyes under his eyebrows have no smile, which is a kind of old-fashioned, extremely shrewd and cold look.

Is it so difficult to find someone? He sneered at the corners of his mouth.

"Master, our second head has come in person!" The man who had just left pushed the door and entered, with red marks of five fingers on his face, tears in his eyes and aggrieved face. Behind him was a man who didn't need to look like a scholar. He looked at the middle-aged man sitting there with a smile. His heart was stormy and there was no longer any condescenment.

It is an extraordinary person who can shock the second leader, and even the powerful officials may not let the second shopkeeper come forward in person.

"You go out!" The scholar man turned his head and said to the clerk, then looked up and down at the middle-aged man sitting like a mountain with a smiling face, and bent down and bowed, "Xiaosheng Deheng is the second shopkeeper Lu Senyan. His subordinates are ignorant and offensive. I hope you can forgive me!"

With that, he put the two silver tickets sent out on the table next to the middle-aged man and stood up, looking respectful and unyaled.

The middle-aged man looked at the two silver tickets returned and smiled and said, "As a reward to the clerk, why does Manager Lv have to give so much face?"

The second shopkeeper also smiled and said, "I'm afraid that I have the life to take money and spend money. We are serious businessmen. We don't take what we should take and what we shouldn't take."

The middle-aged man laughed and looked cold in his eyes.

"The guest doesn't know what to ask for? Can you tell me the details?" The second shopkeeper is as if nothing happened.

"Have you ever received the exquisite golden gadget engraved with the seal of the Huangfu family?" The middle-aged man was seen through his intentions, so he simply stopped covering it up and said bluntly.

"Huangfu's things? It really happened not long ago! Guest, please have a look!" The second shopkeeper stepped forward and a blonde hairpin poked out of his sleeve, and the etched pattern was brilliant, especially a crystal gem at the hairpin flower, which was more precious and exquisite.

The second shopkeeper put the blonde hairpin next to the unattractive middle-aged man and immediately retreated - he did not dare to be within three steps from this seemingly lazy-looking guy.

This golden hairpin has been in his hand for half a month and has never dared to seal it in storage. Instead, it is carried by him, holding it like a honeycomb that can burst at any time. The hairpin is round in gold, and the inlaid gems are delicate and transparent, which is excellent. But these are nothing. Are there still few expensive things in Deheng? But it was this hairpin that made him feel pierced in his back and restless!

The word 'Huangfu' is etched on the back of the hairpin flower, which makes this expensive hairpin suddenly detached.

Can you take out the things of the Huangfu family at will? Does he dare to accept it at will?

Let's not talk about the value of this hairpin. What is the identity of the person who pawns this hairpin?

So as soon as he heard that someone inquired about gold gadgets and rewarded him with a thousand taels of silver, he was nervous and sweaty. He immediately slapped the clerk in the face and scolded angrily: "How dare you accept the money someone else gave you?" Do you have the life to spend this money?"

The man tremblingly took out a silver ticket from his arms and said with a sad face, "In fact, I rewarded two small silver tickets!"

The second shopkeeper didn't have time to care about his subordinates deceiving him, and hurried to this handsome middle-aged man - it was really for this blonde hairpin.

The middle-aged man took the hairpin and looked carefully at the autumn sun entering through the window. Manager L said loudly, "When my subordinates received this hairpin, they discounted 100 and 22 taels of silver. When I found this golden hairpin, I knew that it was far more than this number, so I sent someone to triple the price to the owner of the golden hairpin as compensation, but I couldn't find the person who pawned this thing..."

Manager Lv complained in his heart. His subordinates offered only 50 taels for the owner of the golden hairpin flower, and the person who sold the thing did not seem to know the value of the hairpin flower and left happily with a silver ticket. When he saw this golden hairpin, he felt a little uneasy. Maybe it would be a bad thing. He didn't send anyone to find the owner of this thing at all - Deheng entered the gold on that day, dozens of taels, and he didn't pay attention to it at all.

The shopkeeper's heart is a fluke!

Now that this matter can't be covered up, it depends on how to eliminate disasters and avoid disasters and send away the plague god with a smile in front of him.

"Shopkeeper Lv can do business and be a better man!" The middle-aged man put down the hairpin and glanced at the shopkeeper with cold eyes.

"Much, falla..."

"Where is the man who pawned this blonde hairpin?" Middle-aged people put it indifferently and didn't feel it was inappropriate at all.

When he saw that the hairpin was taken away, the shopkeeper's heart fell to the ground like a huge stone. Even if the business was so yellow, it was better than being so worried. "The man said that she was a sixteen- or seventeen-year-old girl..."

"Little girl?" The man smiled on his bearded face, and he couldn't leave. "Do you know where the girl lives?"

"This..." The shopkeeper's white face was slightly sweaty. "If the guest officer needs it, you can send someone to investigate. He has been operating Deheng for so many years, and there are many connections that can be used in Shangji City..."

"No pains-free!" The middle-aged man stood up and had this clue. Is it difficult for him to find someone? As eagle and dog spies, some subtle clues can make them come out.

He sorted out his blue coat and inserted his hands into his sleeves like a citizen in the market. He smiled and said, "I haven't been here today. Boss Lu continues to do business without disturbing me."

The shopkeeper laughed and said, "Don't sit for a while?"

The man shook his head, "There are still a lot of things to do. Come and disturb the shopkeeper Lv when you are free!"

"Then don't send it?"

"Well, let's go!"

Respect for each other is more like ice. When the middle-aged man crosses the threshold, the shopkeeper finally breathes a long sigh of relief! It's nothing to send out a golden hairpin, and you don't want to make trouble with the royal family!

He looked at the two thousand taels of silver bills that had not been taken away by the middle-aged man on the table, his eyes were gloomy, and he quickly stepped forward, copied it in his hand, and his fingers were torn to pieces.

The man's meaning is very clear. Put the money here and take away the things, and he must keep his mouth shut. No one can mention this matter! It's lucky to be able to deal with the matter involving the royal family!

"Something that doesn't have long eyes!" The shopkeeper cursed in a vicious tone that did not match his identity as a scholar, and I don't know whether he scolded the front desk clerk who rushed to accept this golden hairpin or the man who dared to take the man's silver ticket.
