Early the next morning, Wang Xiu came to Zhang Daoling's house again. When she opened the door, she saw Zhang Daoling sitting cross-legged on the bed and asked, "Hey are you okay?"
Zhang Daoling opened his eyes, looked at Wang Xiu, and said with a smile: "Good morning, Sister Wang."
"It's getting late, the sun is shining on your butt." Wang Xiu said.
Zhang Daoling choked slightly and said, "Sister Wang, you are also a woman, so you should be a little more reserved when speaking."
"Why are you being subtle? She's an old woman. She's old and fat. No one wants her." Seeing that Zhang Daoling was fine, Wang Xiu turned around and walked to the yard, picked up a bucket and said, "I put breakfast in the pot. Can you move it?" ?¡±
Zhang Daoling returned: "I can move."
"As long as you can move, go ahead and eat. I'll fetch water." Wang Xiu said.
Zhang Daoling responded: "Okay."
Zhang Daoling looked at Wang Xiu who was carrying a bucket out, and his eyes fell on the square brocade box.
The brocade box in Suxi Palace is definitely not ordinary.
He picked it up and saw it was a rosewood carved brocade box!
Zhang Daoling nodded, first used magic power to wipe away the blood stains on it, then stood up and walked to the kitchen, taking out a bowl of vegetable soup and three thick-faced steamed buns from the still steaming pot.
After finishing the thick noodle buns with vegetable soup, Zhang Daoling saw Wang Xiu coming back carrying water.
"Is it far?" Zhang Daoling asked.
Wang Xiu wiped his sweat, shook his head and said, "It's not far. Have you eaten?"
"Eat." Zhang Daoling said.
Wang Xiu looked at him and clicked his tongue: "You don't look like an injured person. If it were anyone else, you would have been lying in bed unable to get up."
"Maybe it's because I'm strong." Zhang Daoling smiled.
Then Zhang Daoling walked back to the house, took out the brocade box from the house, handed it to Wang Xiudao: "Sister Wang, thank you for taking it in. I don't have anything to give, so I will give this box to you."
Wang Xiu's eyes lit up when she looked at the box. She took the brocade box and said, "What a beautiful box." Yesterday, her attention was all on Zhang Daoling, so she didn't see the brocade box in his arms.
Then she said to Zhang Daoling: "Wash your face quickly. You look like a tabby cat. You look like a beggar when you go out. And these clothes Oh, your clothes are not good either. It's a pity that my father's clothes are not good." They were all buried with him.¡±
Zhang Daoling scooped up a ladle of water, poured it on his hands and rubbed his face, "Sister Wang, this box is not only beautiful, but also very valuable."
"What's a box worth?" Sister Wang said nonchalantly: "It's just more beautiful."
¡°It¡¯s not the box that¡¯s valuable, it¡¯s the wood used to make the box that¡¯s valuable.¡± Zhang Daoling added.
"Wood, the most important thing I lack here is wood, and it's not worth much." Wang Xiu said still nonchalantly.
Zhang Daoling no longer explained, but smiled and said: "You will find out when you go to the pawn shops in the city in two days."
"In the city? That's far away. Is the pawn shop in the town OK?" Wang Xiu asked.
Zhang Daoling replied: "Of course, as long as it's a pawn shop."
Wang Xiu nodded, went back to the house and put the box away, "Huh? You washed the dishes."
"Wash it." Zhang Daoling replied, and then returned to the house.
Wang Xiu came out and looked at the house where Zhang Daoling lived, and whispered: "What a weirdo."
Three days later, Wang Xiu was about to go to the town to buy some salt and come back. Zhang Daoling asked her to bring the brocade box, "Sister Wang, if they ask you where the brocade box comes from, just say it is from your ancestors. If they ask you how much you want to pawn, , just say you¡¯ll make a price.¡±
"Oh, I know." Wang Xiu put on her only set of printed clothes, picked up the brocade box with cloth and slung it on her shoulder.
"In addition, if you want to be a deadbeat, no matter how much he bids, don't nod or speak immediately. Look at him and don't speak until he bids a high price." Zhang Daoling said.
Wang Xiu asked: "What does high price mean?"
"If you feel like you are in a dream when you hear it, your head will be dizzy and your breathing will be short of breath, then the price is high." Zhang Daoling said.
"If you really get a good price, Sister Wang, remember to buy me a writing brush, a stack of yellow talisman paper, and ink." Zhang Daoling asked.
Wang Xiu nodded and said, "Okay, but what do you want the yellow talisman for?"
"To be honest, I am a Taoist priest." Zhang Daoling pinched a secret and said seriously.
"Hahaha." Wang Xiu laughed, laughing all the way, and the whole mountain was filled with laughter.? They echoed with her laughter.
When Wang Xiu came to town, she first went to the salt shop and bought five taels of salt. This was the amount she could only buy by saving up a month's worth of copper coins.
And five taels of salt is enough for her to eat for two months.
When ordinary people eat, salt is not included in every dish. This is something more valuable than oil.
¡°Just add some salt to the dishes every now and then to supplement the necessary needs of the body.
After buying salt, I found the pawn shop and walked in with some anxiety.
"Hey, sister, do you want to pawn or redeem?" The pawnshop boy hurriedly came to greet me.
Wang Xiu said with some restraint, "I'm here to pawn."
"Okay, pawn please come here." The boy took Wang Xiu aside and sat down, and then called inside: "Shopkeeper, someone is here to pawn."
An old man in brocade clothes walked out of the backyard, stood on the counter and asked, "Which guest wants to pawn?"
Wang Xiu stood up quickly, came to the counter, took off the baggage, put it on the table and asked, "It's me, I want to use this box."
With that said, Wang Xiu opened the baggage, and a brand-new rosewood carved brocade box appeared in front of him.
The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, he reached out and picked up the brocade box and looked at it carefully, then he said to the waiter: "Waiter, make tea for the guests quickly."
Hearing this, the waiter immediately understood that a big customer was here, so he quickly made tea for Wang Xiu.
The shopkeeper also came out from behind the counter and said to Wang Xiu: "Distinguished guests, please take a seat."
"Don't dare." When Wang Xiu heard the shopkeeper calling him a distinguished guest, he quickly denied it.
The shopkeeper smiled faintly, then put the brocade box on the table and said, "This is a brocade box made of red sandalwood, and the carvings on it are clearly made by the master. It is a rare good thing. I don't know where the distinguished guest came from. Got it? Oh, distinguished guest, don¡¯t misunderstand, our pawn shop
The origin of everything must be innocent. "
Wang Xiu heard this and said according to what Zhang Daoling taught her: "It is passed down from my family's ancestors."
"Oh? So it's an ancestral item." The shopkeeper nodded and didn't go into details, because he only wanted an "innocent origin".
"So how much money do you want to make?" the shopkeeper asked again.
" If someone were smart enough to ask this question, they would immediately be able to tell that something was wrong. Pawn shops usually take the initiative to value items. This question was obviously to test whether Wang Xiu understood the value of this brocade box.
Wang Xiu replied: "The shopkeeper will give you a price." As she said that, she picked up the teacup and took a sip nervously.
But in the eyes of the shopkeeper, this action means that she knows the value of this brocade box and is confident.
So the shopkeeper thought for a moment and said, "Does the guest want to be treated alive or dead?"
Wang Xiu asked: "What is death and what is life?"
The shopkeeper smiled and said: "You can redeem it later if you are alive, but you cannot redeem it if you die."
Wang Xiu remembered Zhang Daoling's words and replied: "Death."
The shopkeeper said: "Damn it, okay! Although this brocade box of yours is very beautifully carved and made of high-quality rosewood, it has been passed down from family for a long time and has some decay inside. What do you think of ten taels of silver?" "
"Ten taels!" Wang Xiu almost exclaimed, ten taels of silver is enough for her to spend ten years!
But she quickly stabilized her emotions, saying nothing as Zhang Daoling said. In order to cover up her emotions, she picked up the tea cup again and took a sip.
The shopkeeper looked at her actions and thought she knew the price he gave was too low, so he said again: "Ten taels is indeed a bit low, fifty taels."
Wang Xiu¡¯s hand trembled, and the water in the cup immediately spilled out.
Although Wang Xiu wanted to cover up his gaffe, the shopkeeper still saw the flaw.
So he said: "Fifty taels, dead money. If the guest is willing, sign and pledge it. If not, please take it back."
When Wang Xiu heard this, he no longer hesitated and nodded.
Soon the shopkeeper prepared the pawn tickets, and after pressing their fingerprints with Wang Xiu, he handed one of the tickets to Wang Xiu.
There were still fifty taels of broken silver. With trembling hands, Wang Xiu tightly wrapped the fifty taels of silver in the baggage, and then, as if he was drunk, he hugged the baggage and walked out dizzy and light. pawnshop.
The shopkeeper looked at Wang Xiu¡¯s leaving figure, picked up the brocade box and looked at it carefully.
"Shopkeeper, how much is this box worth?" the waiter asked from the side.
The shopkeeper smiled slightly, pointed to the carvings on it and said, "This carving alone is worth a hundred taels of silver."
"The shopkeeper is so wise!" the waiter quickly flattered him.
The shopkeeper smiled and said: "If she hadn't just exposed her trap, I would have been prepared to sell it for eighty taels."
The waiter said about this: "She doesn't look like someone from Queyang Town"
The shopkeeper's face changed, and then he said: "Don't get it wrong. The wind has been tight recently. The mandrill in Queyang Mountain has attracted the attention of the county government. Now Queyang Town is full of officials sent by the county government. Be careful when sailing." .¡±
"Yes, yes, the shopkeeper said so." The waiter responded quickly. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com)?, it¡¯s worth one hundred taels of silver. "
"The shopkeeper is so wise!" the waiter quickly flattered him.
The shopkeeper smiled and said: "If she hadn't just exposed her trap, I would have been prepared to sell it for eighty taels."
