Chapter 60 The Little Pawnshop in Xiangzhangfang

Before dawn on the second day, the clerk of the government office came to invite him in person, and Huo Yuncheng went to the government office with his guards.

Ban Xia was injured, so she was not allowed to accompany her around.

After Bai Zeqing finished punching, Banxia sent someone to call her to the second master's yard, saying that she wanted to share the results of yesterday's black market.

Ban Xia threw over a large bag of things she bought and asked her to choose first.

Bai Zeqing was stunned, so many things, she choose?
Bai Zeqing hesitated for a moment, but still chose a fire coral hairpin with golden pearls.Firstly, it is unique and beautiful, and secondly, such goods cannot be bought in the market.

She sincerely thanks.Ban Xia waved her hand, and handed her two waist buttons, asking her to give them to Zhou Qian.

Then he picked up a jasper safety buckle with excellent water color, and asked her to give it to her daughter.

Bai Zeqing did not shirk, and thanked her for the two of them.

Only then did Ban Xia happily hand over the remaining big bag to Ban Qing, saying, "I'm hurt, please help me share it with my sisters. Thank you."

Banqing took it without any hesitation and went out.

Then, the two people who were happily preparing to eat breakfast were attracted by the opened birdcage hanging on the branch outside the window.

Who opened the birdcage this early in the morning?
Speaking of the birdcage——

Neither of them expected that the scorched-tailed red bird did not fly away after it broke the cage last night, but followed her back to Yuanzhou City twice.

When the two of them boarded Huo Erye's painting boat, when the little broken bird flew in from the window and squatted on Bai Zeqing's shoulder, they were all startled.

When Huo Yuncheng heard that the two of them had bought a bird on the black market, he frowned, and told the two of them to lock it up in a cage when they went back, so he didn't say anything more.

Back home yesterday, Pinellia specially asked a servant to make a birdcage.

At this point, the cage is open!

The little broken bird was playing happily in the yard, and flew from the top of the tree to the ground, as if it was not yet familiar with flying, it thumped and fell, and then walked with its two paws one after another, but it did not walk. Unsafe.After walking a few steps, it flew to Ban Xia's arm again.

Ban Xia was startled and jumped up, the bird fell, she quickly reached out to catch it before letting go, pointed to the bird walking in the yard and asked Bai Zeqing: "What's the matter? This little thing can open the cage! Doctor Little lady, why don't you take it back and raise it? You can't follow me, what if you disturb the second master?"

"I can't raise it." Bai Zeqing thought to himself: What are you kidding, I can't protect myself now, and I still have a bird?Afraid that the target is not obvious enough?
So she smiled sweetly at Banxia: "Sister Banxia, ​​the money you paid is not suitable for me to raise, so you should raise it."

Well, back to square one.

Finally, Banxia suddenly got up and said to Bai Zeqing, "I have a solution, let's go!"

He picked up the cage and said to the bird, "Come on, come in, I'll take you to a good place."

The bird seemed to understand what they said, and entered the cage obediently.

The two changed boats and carriages, and soon entered Xiangzhangfang, Yuanzhou City.

……

Xiangzhangfang is located in the most core and fertile area of ​​Yuanzhou City.

Xiangzhangfang is only a few miles away from the black market in the east, and it is jointly protected by various forces in Yuanzhou City. It is prosperous alone and has a population of tens of thousands.

Going east from Xiangzhangfang, there is a dance pavilion and singing stage, with golden lamps like daytime.Last night, the rich family spent a lot of money, and the carriage of the wealthy son returning home rolled across the long street in the early morning.

Going to the south, the gambling houses and money houses are shouting loudly, and you can see people who have lost everything overnight and are thrown out of the gambling houses beating their chests and stamping their feet.

Bai Zeqing and Bai Zeqing walked in a hurry and only headed north.

Fangbei is an old street.

People living here go to bed early and get up early. At this time, the dogs bark and the cats call the children to cry, and there is already smoke from the kitchen, and breakfast is started.

There are already waiters rubbing their sleepy eyes in the noodle restaurants and silk shops and rouge shops on the street, and one by one they are lifting the door panels to open, and several half-worn wine flags are fluttering in the wind.

The old alleys are narrow and long, like cobwebs intertwined.Newcomers who are new to the country, without a local to guide the way, will inevitably run into a dead end. It takes a month of groping to barely get lost.

But Ban Xia was determined and did not hesitate.No wrong step, no wrong turn.

The morning breeze is cool, and the stone slabs have been polished smooth after wind and rain, reflecting the slanted shadows of two people and one bird in the morning light.

The old street is quiet, there is a store with lights on, and a big "Dang" on a dilapidated flag.

Pinellia stopped in front of the store with a hint of emotion in her eyes.

Bai Zeqing looked at the paint peeling off the four-character door plaque, and the word "pawnshop" was vaguely discernible, and looked back at Banxia stiffly: "Pawnshop???"

Ban Xia was a little proud: "Yes, pawn shop! Am I very smart!"

"No, you are not short of money, why are you so familiar with the pawnshop?" Bai Zeqing was shocked, with such familiarity, those who didn't know it thought the pawnshop was run by her family.

Ban Xia glanced at Bai Zeqing in distaste, and said, "It's not like I was born in the Huo family!"

Right!Her surname is not Huo.Bewitched by her extravagant sales in the black market.

However, aren't the big pawnshops in Xiangzhangfang all open next to the casino?
Besides, what are you doing at the pawn shop?
Bai Zeqing looked at Banxia, ​​then at Bird, and then at the pawn shop, his expression gradually became strange.

This pawn shop is too small, too old, and even a little run-down.

In the morning light, the shopkeeper is making plans, the clerk is shooting flies, and the old cat is dozing off.

Walking into the hall, there is an unwritten and non-contradictory couplet pasted on the white wall directly opposite.

Shanglian: Who has no difficulties in life?

Second couplet: Money is all outside the body!

Horizontal batch: Once rich.

The two stood in the hall, and no one even greeted them.

"Come to live!" Ban Xia greeted the buddy first, "Being a thing."

"What are you doing?" The old shopkeeper raised his eyelids and squinted slightly to look at them.

"This." Ban Xia slapped the birdcage on the long table with a crisp sound.The old cat snoozing under the window rushed up to the long table and meowed around the cage.

The shopkeeper looked at the birdcage, then at the two of them.

Jiaoweiniao looked at the shopkeeper, then at Bai Zeqing.

Bai Zeqing rubbed his forehead with his hand, and said in a low voice: "Sorry" picked up the birdcage in embarrassment, and walked out.

"Two taels of silver, no counter-offering." The shopkeeper said suddenly.

Bai Zeqing was stunned: Really?

"What? It's only two taels? We bought it at 98 taels from the shopkeeper!" Ban Xia learned and used it, and began to use the hard-to-learn bargaining skills.

The shopkeeper gave him a wink, and the clerk went into the backstage to take out two taels of silver and put it on the long table, with an expression of whether he wanted it or not.

"Forget it, let's just take two taels, it's better than shocking the second master and being killed." Ban Xia said and reached out to get the broken silver.She is not short of money either.Just afraid of trouble.

At this moment, the scorching tail bird screamed, like a baby crying or a young phoenix mourning.

The old cat's fur stood on end in fright, and it jumped to the beam of the house with lightning speed. The cat's tail hooked over the unextinguished oil lamp on the counter.

At the same time, the birdcage and the long table were instantly ignited by the flames, and the fire grew when the wind caught on, and burned to the roof in an instant.

"Oh, it's gone!" The boy regained consciousness in an instant, grabbed the teacup at hand and threw it out, but the fire was even more intense.

"Ah, I'm going to be beaten, run away!" Bai Zeqing was dumbfounded for a moment, grabbed Pinellia and ran away.She didn't want to be taken into the Yamen by the officers and soldiers again, and the ashes of the bottom of the pot were not readily available.

"Hey," Ban Xia didn't get the money, so he picked up the birdcage and ran. When he ran out of the alley, he threw the hot birdcage aside and smashed it to pieces, and the bird flapped its wings and flew to Bai Zeqing's shoulder.

Bai Zeqing looked up to the sky and sighed: It's all fate.
