   Chapter 576 One hundred and seventy-five · Trading

Time passed very fast, and it was December 12 in a blink of an eye. The New Year's flavor outside was getting stronger and stronger. Most of the people in Beijing have already started to prepare New Year's goods. After making preparations, there are still many people who push the big vats out to clean the wine, and there is a happy atmosphere everywhere for a while.

   In a peaceful atmosphere, the carriage with two pairs of lanterns hung by the first-class scholar of the Xu family quietly drove out of Dengshikou, bypassed the archway, went up the street, and stopped in front of Jinxiulou in Dongsi Hutong.

   Young Master Xu opened the curtain and whispered to Grandma Xu, who was still in a trance, "Mother?"

   Grandma Xu was still in a trance and didn't hear it for a while, until Young Master Xu tentatively shouted again, and she suddenly came back to her senses: "What?"

"It's here!" The young master Xu glanced suspiciously at his unwilling mother, but didn't think much about it, he just reached out to help her down: "What's the matter with you? Just a few pieces of jewelry, a few things, if you like them, we can just buy them. Now, why do you still have to meet the shopkeeper in person? It's not a big deal."

   Qi came back to his senses and chiseled his son's head: "What do you know? I naturally have my reasons."

Young Master Xu naturally didn't dare to be stubborn with his mother. Hearing her say that, he couldn't help laughing: "Yes, yes, my mother always makes sense." He had already led Qi's to the second floor. , found the Tianzi private room that had been reserved before, and knocked on the door.

   Lu Chaofeng, who had traded with him, was already waiting, and when he saw him, he bowed and saluted: "Eldest young master, this old man is polite."

  Eldest Young Master Xu coughed, saw his mother frown slightly, and waved hurriedly: "Don't make up this shit, walk around, go in and talk!" He entered the room facing Mrs Qi.

The private room in the Jinxiu Tower is very spacious, and in the middle is a four-leaf huanghuali wood-based lady's picture screen. Mrs. Qi sat behind the screen. Before his son could speak, he first asked Lu Chaofeng, "I don't know the master's set. Jewelry, where do you get it?"

Lu Chaofeng hurriedly stood up and replied respectfully, "As Mrs. Hui said, this set of jewelry was mortgaged in our semi-colon in Shu. After a long time, it has already become a dead end. This time I cleaned up the warehouse, and then I took it out and continued to sell it. of."

   Mrs. Qi clenched the hem of her clothes and was a little nervous. After a while, she calmed down and asked, "Then there is still a stub for the original ticket?!"

Lu Chaofeng was a little embarrassed: "It's been a long time, no one came to pick it up, after time, it becomes a dead, dead thing, the ticket is generally not important, after many years, I have been looking for it. The original stub is gone."

   Mr. Qi was nervous and disappointed. After a while, he asked, "Then, didn't you say that you still have a few sets of this kind of things in your hand? Did you bring them this time?"

  Lu Chaofeng hurriedly nodded and replied, "Yes, I heard that you are interested, so I brought it all!" Then he hurriedly greeted the people below to bring things up and hand them over to Young Master Xu.

   Young Master Xu took the tray and turned it behind the screen to show Mrs Qi, "Mother, look."

   Qi's eyes fell on the tray, and after a long time, he asked Lu Chaofeng with a trembling voice: "How much money? I want all these things!"

  Lu Chaofeng was obviously a little surprised. He hurriedly took the abacus, and after a slap in the face, he replied with a smile: "Thanks to Madam's patronage, a total of 12,400 taels of silver!"

   Young Master Xu couldn't help taking a deep breath. He stuck his head out from behind the screen and glared at Lu Chaofeng: "It's so expensive?! Lao Lu, aren't you knocking my son's bamboo stick?!"

"How dare you?" Lu Chaofeng hurriedly denied: "These things were expensive when they were given to our pawnshop, and you can see that they are all first-class goods, although it has been a long time, but these things ah , it takes the year to appear to have a background, and it is absolutely fair to charge you this price.”

   Rao is so, more than 12,000 taels of silver are too expensive! Young Master Xu couldn't help but turn around to look at his mother, feeling that his mother, who has always been diligent and thrifty, would definitely be heartbroken.

   Who knew that Mr. Qi said without hesitation: "The deal is done, and someone will send the ticket to your store later."

  Lu Chao happily replied, flattering words like they didn't need money.

Young Master Xu was puzzled and didn't understand why Qi was so interested in this pile of old things. He endured and endured it, and while he was helping his mother to get on the carriage, he couldn't help but ask: "Mother, what are you buying these things for? Look at that gold-encrusted ruby ​​open bracelet, the color is wrong."

   Qi's hand was attached to it for a long time, so he cheered up and scolded his son: "What do you know? These things will naturally be reserved for you and your sister in the future."

  The Xu family's carriage slowly drove out of Dongsi Hutong, Su Yao's hand also dropped the window, revealing a clear smile.

   Soon after, Lu Chaofeng knocked on the door next door to report the situation to Tang Youlong, and said, "The 14,000 taels of tickets will be delivered to your house at that time."

  Lu Chaofeng is Tang Youlong's in-law. He has no son in his family, only an only daughter married to Tang Youlong's son, and the two families are as close as one family.

  Tang Youlong responded indifferently, and went straight according to Su Invitation's explanation: "You keep three thousand two hundred taels for yourself, and leave the rest to me."

   "How does this work?" Lu Chaofeng was stunned: "These things are not mine, I just changed hands halfway."

"I gave it to you, it's for you." Shopkeeper Tang himself was confused, how could he answer Lu Chaofeng's question, and after fooling him a few words, he said, "You just keep it, and don't mention this to anyone in the future. The thing is, save the trouble, understand?"

   Someone who can marry someone like Tang Youlong would be stupid. As soon as Tang Youlong said it, Lu Chaofeng hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I will be the kind of talkative person? My mouth is tight!"

  Tang Youlong dismissed him, then went behind the screen and asked Su Yao softly, "Did you find the answer you want?"

   Naturally found.

   When she heard Qi Yunxi's name, she felt that something was wrong, but then things happened too quickly and too quickly, so she didn't have time to grasp the wrong feeling.

   Until these recent events and Mrs. He's reminder, she finally thought of a key event in her previous life.
