Chapter 111 Pawn
"A hundred taels of silver is indeed a bit expensive..."

Hearing this, Cheng Weiyao frowned, but she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. Right now, everyone seems to have nothing to worry about on the surface. How much money is left depends on how much money they have in their purses. One hundred taels of silver can be taken by yourself. It doesn't seem surprising that it came out.

However, the next sentence of the yamen servant made Cheng Weiyao call him cheating, and he squinted his eyes and took a sip of wine and then added slowly.

"Little sister, don't be too happy. What I said earlier is the price of one person. You are so prosperous that you will inevitably bleed..."

As soon as these words came out, not to mention Prince Qingping's Mansion, everyone in the other exile teams who listened to the wall looked at each other in blank dismay, obviously out of cash.

The previous household registration was hung at the feet of the emperor, but now he is exiled to a small border town, not to mention that he can't even afford a city or town household registration, what a waste!
Cheng Weiyao pursed her lips. If this was the price for one person, Qingping Prince’s Mansion would cost 1000 taels according to the highest configuration including her family of five. Even if it is settled in the town, 500 taels is not a small amount...

"I can't laugh anymore. The people in the city are nice, but they are really expensive. I think our small town is very good. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers. You have this skill. It's good to stay in the back kitchen and shake the spoon." Well……"

The yamen servant noticed the changes in the faces of the people, and laughed cheerfully. The first time he saw the exile team, he found that this family was not simple.

From the exile in the capital city to Qingshi Town, all the way, the wind and the sun, the rest of the exile team are a little yellow and thin, but the family of the Qingping Palace, the small white and tender, the old charm still exists, which shows that this journey The food here is pretty good.

"What my brother said is, I will excuse you first while you are eating and drinking..."

Cheng Weiyao nodded with a smile, pretending to be in a hurry to run to the backyard, but in fact, she saw the small door in the backyard just now when she was busy in the back kitchen.

According to the tone revealed by the yamen servant, the little money on the body is obviously not enough. Although the parents also stuffed a little money before leaving, it is still a drop in the bucket. If you want to settle down seriously, you have to find a way from the warehouse of QQ Farm .

The warehouse of QQ Farm is full of gold, silver and jade wares, from the Duke’s Mansion, and from Li Dabao, a local snake. After thinking about it, Cheng Weiyao still aimed at the jewelry given by the previous princess.

It is reasonable for the daughter to wear jewelry close to her body, but since she wants to collect money, it can't be such a trivial thing as earrings.

Cheng Weiyao's eyes fixed on the golden hairpin in the agarwood wooden box. There are three grades of gold, gold is the top, platinum is the middle, and red gold is the bottom.

No matter in which era, gold is a hard currency. Just say a thousand taels for the exquisite carving and bright color, right?

With a thought, Cheng Weiyao took a look at the situation in the lobby with the golden hairpin in her pocket. The servants in the lobby were still drinking and eating meat, and they were in high spirits. It seemed that they would not leave for a while.

When passing by the long street just now, I saw a pawn shop among the shops lined up on both sides, why don't you take the hairpin to change some silver taels...

After making up her mind, Cheng Weiyao opened the gate of the backyard lightly. In order to prevent the door from being pushed open when she came back, she deliberately found an inconspicuous pebble and stuck it in the crack of the door.

The wooden door in the backyard was ajar, and it looked like it was closed from a distance. Cheng Weiyao quickly walked towards the long street pawn shop after making the way back.

At the door of the pawn shop, there are two specially made strings of huge net money, which are hung on both sides of the door to attract visitors. Cheng Weiyao is looking for such a big shop.

Because in ancient times, only large pawnshops had the financial resources to accept expensive items such as gold and silver jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings; while ordinary pawnshops only accepted non-valuable items such as clothing.

The most important thing is that a large screen is placed inside the door of this pawnshop, so that the inside of the pawnshop cannot be seen from the outside, which naturally reduces the risk of being discovered by acquaintances.

"Girl, please, what are you planning to pawn today?"

The shopkeeper at the counter saw a daughter of Cheng Weiyao coming to pawn her, and immediately asked with a smile. Most of the women who came to the door were gold and silver jewelry, and the deal would not be small.

"Shopkeeper, hold your eyes, I'll put my ugly words first, I won't sell you if I'm low..."

Cheng Weiyao put the golden hairpin wrapped in a handkerchief on the countertop, and gently pushed it over. Although she was short of time and didn't have time to pawn one by one to ask about the price, she didn't want to make the pawnshop feel anxious. .

The golden light on the hairpin was refracted by the sunlight outside, leaving a flash of light on the white wall. The shopkeeper of the station cabinet quickly covered his handkerchief, and made a gesture of invitation to Cheng Weiyao.

"Dare to ask the girl whether she is going to live or die, please take a seat inside."

"Damn, you make a price, if you can't, I'll take over."

Cheng Weiyao followed in slowly, and the shopkeeper of the station cabinet was holding the golden hairpin and looking at it carefully. Its lustrous carvings are all first-class ingenious workmanship, and it is not an exaggeration to praise a thousand gold treasures.

"Girl, I'm not bullying you either. The prices of hard goods are all on the table. I can give you this hairpin at most."

The shopkeeper at the station cabinet stretched out his hand to compare two thousand, Cheng Weiyao frowned slightly, a gold hairpin was 2000 taels of silver, not to mention that it was genuine gold, the carver alone was more than that price.

Although she had never pawned money in an ancient pawn shop, she was a businessman and wanted to keep the price down. Since the pawn shop wanted to accept it, she would accompany her in the show.

"Treasurer, you can take a closer look. The value of this golden hairpin is not only the price of gold. It is a thing in the palace. I am a woman at any time, but I have traveled a lot in the world. You are running a pawn, and I am also half of it." Businessmen, everyone is an expert, and will not know the current price... three thousand and five, if you do, you will get a deal, if you don't, you will be sold."

As soon as the source was revealed, the face of the station cabinet turned a little pale, indicating that this was not stolen goods, it was probably from a wealthy family who had fallen into poverty.

The counter of the pawn shop is very high, and you can’t see the objects behind the counter even if you stand in front of the counter.

He has been in the industry for over forty years, and he knows that this is a good item, but Cheng Weiyao's price is so low that he earns very little!

"Things must be good things, but at your price, girl... how about we take a step back, how about three thousand?"

The person who is talking is the shopkeeper sitting in the cabinet. There are two shopkeepers sitting in the cabinet and standing cabinet in the pawnshop. The main function of the shopkeeper sitting in the cabinet is to come out to smooth things over at this time.

"Can you count with your words?"

Cheng Weiyao raised her eyebrows slightly, showing some hesitation.
