Chapter 88 The Butler of the City Lord's Mansion
Shen Nuanning shook her hair and raised her head, "How is it? Is your aunt beautiful?"

"So beautiful!"

"It's just Aunt Ning, who didn't change her clothes when she bought food just now, why do she want it now at the pawn shop?" The young man was puzzled.

"Good question!"

Shen Nuanning explained as he walked, "Because the price of food is clearly marked, you can buy it if you have money, but the origin of the pearls is unknown. If they know that I am a refugee, they will definitely bully us. At least they will lower the price, and at worst they will not only rob the pearls, say You might even send me to jail!"

Everyone suddenly realized.

Go outside the pawn shop.

"You are waiting for me outside the pawnshop, pretending that you don't know me!"

Shen Nuanning walked into the pawnshop, took out a golden hairpin from the space and stuck it on her head.

"Ma'am, what do you want to be?"

The man sized Shen Nuanning a few times.

Although the clothes are made of ordinary materials, they are neat and clean, and the whole body has an extraordinary temperament, as if they were born to be a class higher than him, and the gold hairpins on their hair are real gold.

The guy not only smiles attentively, nods and bows, but also provides thoughtful service.

"Boy, I have a rare thing here, do you accept it?"

"You give us the palm of the hand of the shopkeeper, we will definitely accept good things, and the price will not wrong you!"

Shen Nuanning took out a delicate wooden box from his pocket, opened it, and showed the pearl inside to the clerk.

The buddy shrank his pupils immediately, and his face changed into a serious look, "Wait a moment, the villain will call the shopkeeper immediately."

Soon, the shopkeeper appeared.

"Ma'am, can you take a closer look at me?"

Shen Nuanning smiled lightly, and handed it over casually, "Just watch."

The shopkeeper looked at it again and again, reluctantly returned it to Shen Nuanning, and couldn't help exclaiming, "This is the Ye Mingzhu, the real Ye Mingzhu! Are you sure you want to be it?"

Shen Nuanning nodded, "Damn, what price do you think you can offer?"

The shopkeeper said calmly, "Madam, let me give you a real price, 300 taels."

She couldn't see her emotions clearly, so she just said, "I can't accept the price you offered." Then she wanted to leave.

"Ma'am, don't go!"

The shopkeeper has never seen such a business. The price can be negotiated. Why leave immediately if it doesn't suit you? It's not conducive to the harmony between customers and merchants.

"Well, 400 taels, I'll add 100 taels."

Shen Nuanning turned around and spit out a number, "800 taels!"

"800 taels?!"

The shopkeeper was really shocked, the asking price was too fierce, this little lady is really thick-skinned.

"Shopkeeper, you also know that this is a real luminous pearl. It is hard to come by. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is priceless. I think 800 taels is too low."

"But madam, you also know that our place is not as good as Shangjing, and we can't offer such a high price. How about it, 700 taels, this is the highest price I can offer. You can also ask around, the whole Shunzhou There will be no one in the city who bids higher than me!"

At this point, there is no room for a price increase.

"make a deal!"

Shen Nuanning came out with a stack of bank notes in her arms.

When the teenagers in the corner saw her figure, their eyes lit up, and they were so smart that they didn't walk together immediately, but followed behind, keeping a certain distance.

After making seven or eight turns, Shen Nuanning went to the clothing store to change into old clothes, and met with everyone.

"It's sold, we should still be able to buy several hundred catties of grain!" The boy cheered happily.

"I don't know how they inquired about it?"

"Yes, I don't know if my father and the others have found that relative."

After getting the money, they went shopping around, bought enough food and sent the two teenagers out of the city gate.

"Qing'er, tell everyone, if we don't come out tomorrow, let everyone come in on the third day."

The two teenagers carried food on their backs, "Aunt Ning, we know!"

Then, everyone went to the government.

They want to ask about resettlement of refugees.

However, before arriving at the government office, he was attracted by the sound of crying and punching and kicking in the corner.

"Let go of me! Help! Don't hit me!"

"Hit him! Kill him!"

Brother Hu was reckless, and walked directly to the corner with his fists clenched, and the others quickly followed.

Judging by the figure, they are all a group of children.

Most of them are dressed in beautiful clothes, bright and beautiful. I don't know which family they are.

Shen Wenhu stepped forward and directly picked up the older child, then threw off all seven or eight children to the side, and rescued the youngest child in the corner.

Shen Wenhu looked at a few children with fierce eyes, "Why did you hit someone? How dare you bully others, how shameless?"

The child was dressed in a fine attire with his face turned sideways, his expression stern, and while trembling at Shen Wenhu's tall torso, he shouted loudly, "A group of untouchables, do you know who the young master is? Do you know who my father is? How dare you meddle in my own business!"

"That's right, you are just a group of refugees, if you dare to touch us, you will die without a place to bury tomorrow!"

Shen Wenhu slapped him straight away.

The slap slapped against the wind, making a huge empty sound.

Of course it didn't really hit it.

Still scaring the two children into crying.

Their momentum was broken, and they put down their cruel words and were about to leave, "Shen Liang! You wait for me! If I don't hit you today, I will return tomorrow! Let's go!"

"Hey! I have a bad temper!" One of the teenagers couldn't bear to be so embarrassing.

When I was young, I was so arrogant, bullying children, and if I didn't control them, I didn't know how many outrageous things I would do when I grew up.

He was about to go up to teach the child a lesson, but was stopped by Shen Liang, who stood there trembling.

"Let them go!"

Shen Liang's black eyes were filled with tears, "If you hit them, they will only return harder."

People are helpless.

Yeah, they might be out of town tomorrow, but the kid is still here to live.

"Your name is Shen Liang? Why did they beat you?" Shen Nuanning knelt down and looked him straight.

What a coincidence, the surname is Shen, this is not the same family.

The child scratched his hand and shook his head, "I don't know! Maybe I'm used to it."

The malice of a child is so gratuitous and terrifying.

Seeing the confused and frightened expression on the child's bruised and swollen face, Shen Nuanning didn't ask any more questions.

Shen Nuanning nodded, "Where is your home? I'll take you back!"

"My home, my home is in the City Lord's Mansion."

City Lord's Mansion.

"What is your relationship with the city lord?"

"My grandfather is the butler of the city lord."

It turned out to be the case.

Shen Nuanning moved her heart, and opened her lips, "What's your grandfather's name?"

Shen Liang raised his head, with a trace of wariness in his eyes.

He is not a kid who doesn't understand anything, a group of refugees from outside the city, who knows if it is a good thing or a bad thing to inquire about his grandfather.

"Actually, our surname is also Shen. We are here to join relatives. We want to ask the Shen family in Shunzhou City."

Shen Liang tilted his head, "I'll take you to find my grandfather."

The crowd followed the child to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.

Steward Shen hurried to the door when he heard the news. Seeing his grandson's bruised nose and swollen face, his expression was flat, as if he was used to it, and looked at Shen Nuanning and his party, "Thank you for helping him."

"Grandpa, they are also surnamed Shen, and they are here to find relatives."

He hesitated, "Are you...?"

"Hi Uncle, I'm from Shenjia Village, Guang County, Lizhou."

Butler Shen was shocked.

"Who is your father?"

"My father is Shen Shou!"

I saw Steward Shen's eyes slightly wet, and then he was silent for a long time, tainted with memories and sadness, and said, "Shen Shou, when I left, he hadn't married yet, and now he has children. How is the old patriarch? Old people Are you ok?"
