Chapter 111 111 Treasures

Ye Chenli stretched out three fingers and waved them in front of Su Ping'an.

"3 taels?" Su Pingan blinked.

Ye Chenli shook his head slightly, expressing that he was wrong.

Su Pingan swallowed, his throat slid up and down, and he lowered his head and thought for a moment.

"That's 30 taels?"

Ye Chenli nodded, indicating that he was correct.

There was silence in the private room, and Su Pingan lowered his head and thought for a while.

"Okay, brother, let's raise money now." Actually, Su Ping'an has 30 silver bills, but he can't hand them over to Ye Chenli immediately.

……

Three days later, Su Ping'an handed over the 30 taels of silver notes to Ye Chenli.

A few more days passed.

The imperial court formally appointed Su Ping'an as the fifth-rank Dingyuan general, and rewarded him with a military officer uniform and a silver helmet.

Inside the Li Family's Wing Room in the Su Mansion

Mrs. Li looked at a tablet on the incense table and said, "The child's father is safe and has a promising future. He has become a general. You can rest assured under the nine springs."

……

In the early morning, the morning light shone in Su Ping'an's wing.

"Whispering... whispering..."

Hearing the call of the white eagle, Su Pingan slowly opened his eyes and looked at the white eagle standing on the window sill.

Bai Ying was also looking at Su Ping'an and opened his mouth.

Now the white eagle is like Su Ping'an's alarm clock. It will fly to the window sill every morning and whistle at Su Ping'an.

Su Ping'an also couldn't laugh or cry.

When the two girls, Han Ling'er and Han Xue'er, saw Su Pingan getting up, they knocked on the door and walked into the house to dress Su Pingan.

Now the pair of twin sisters are wearing a set of round-necked scarlet official robes for Su Pingan, and there is a cross-legged head on the table beside them.

"The young master looks really good in this official uniform!" Han Ling'er couldn't help praising Su Ping'an while arranging the corners of the official robe.

Han Xueer looked up at Su Ping'an, smiled and said, "That's right, our young master looks good no matter what he wears."

Su Ping'an said indifferently: "When will you two little girls learn to speak flattery?"

Han Xueer pouted and said, "Master, what this servant is not flattering, what this servant is telling the truth."

Han Ling'er echoed: "Yes, young master, you really look good in this scarlet official uniform!"

Su Ping'an couldn't help but laugh and thought to himself: "It seems that these two girls have really grown up and are not as shy as before."

Putting on the official robe, Su Pingan put the cross-footed headband on the table on his head, put the whitebait bag on his waist, took off the Qingfeng sword hanging on the wall, and strode out of the wing room.

The two girls, Han Ling'er and Han Xue'er, followed behind.

Liu Xiaohui was brushing her teeth outside the wing with a wooden brush and tooth powder. She saw Su Ping'an wearing a crimson official robe, "Oh, Mr. Su, you look really good in this crimson official robe."

As the saying goes, three people make a tiger, and even Liu Xiaohui said that this crimson official uniform looks good, so it is really good-looking.

However, Su Pingan just put on this official uniform to try. He still likes to wear cloth robes, brocade clothes, and other casual clothes.

After brushing his teeth, washing his face, and having breakfast, Su Ping'an changed into brocade clothes, and rode a bay red horse to Pingyue's pawnshop in Dongshi.

Some shops in the market are still closed, and there are also many fewer vendors on the roadside.

The city guards patrolling the market would salute Su Ping'an when they saw him.

For some reason along the way, Su Pingan vaguely felt that there were not as many people in the market as before, and the road was much smoother.

Pingyue pawn shop

Seeing Su Pingan walking into the pawn shop from the backyard, Li Shishi quickly put down the ledger in his hand, bowed slightly to Su Pingan and said, "Master Su, I heard that you have become a fifth-rank general Dingyuan. I really congratulate you."

Su Pingan looked at the shelves, which were full of all kinds of rare antiques, and smiled, "Thank you, Miss Shishi, how is the business in the pawnshop recently?"

Li Shishi pursed his red lips, "Fortunately, I recently heard that Fang La from the south is about to call. Many wealthy households have moved to the capital, and they have taken some unnecessary items to pawnshops for money."

Su Pingan nodded, with a thoughtful look in his eyes, touched his chin, lowered his head and murmured: "...Oh, so that's the case, I said."

Li Shishi picked up the kettle, poured a glass of water for Su Ping'an's white porcelain teacup on the counter, tilted his head and said, "Mr. Su, what did you just say?"

Su Pingan smiled and said in a low voice: "It's nothing, since those rich households want to escape, if they pawn their things again, we have to bargain hard, and the goods that are not easy to sell will not be accepted."

Li Shishi covered his mouth and smiled softly, "Master Su is absolutely right. This is what I do. I will not accept those bulky goods or things that are difficult to handle."

Su Pingan picked up the tea on the counter and took a sip, "Yes, but if someone comes to pawn military supplies, we will collect them all."

"Well, I know, Mr. Su, I sewed a green robe for you a few days ago. You can go to the main room in the backyard later and try it on to see if it fits." Master Li said as he took a look from the drawer on the side of the counter. He took out a blue cloth robe.

"...Okay, miss Shishi, I'm sorry, it's not too late to try again later, where is Jin'er?" Su Pingan took the green robe, which had a faint fragrance.

"Jin'er went to buy groceries, Mr. Su, you can have lunch here at noon today, and I will accompany you to have a few drinks to celebrate Mr. Su's promotion!" Li Shishi said.

"Alright." Su Ping'an nodded.

At this moment, a big square-faced man in a purple robe stood on tiptoe and looked into the counter of the pawnshop, "Is the manager of the pawnshop here?"

Li Shishi walked to the counter, sat down and said, "Yes, what do you want to pawn, sir?"

The big man in purple robe held a golden curved bow in his hand, and put it into the counter through the window, "Shopkeeper, let's see how much money this object can pawn.

"Guest officer, wait a moment." Li Shishi picked up the golden bow and started with a heavy hand. She looked at it for a while, and then pulled the bowstring, but the bowstring did not move at all. She couldn't help but glanced at Su Ping'an .

"Master Su, how much do you think this bow is worth?"

"Let me take a look." Su Pingan followed the golden bow, and saw that the bow of this golden bow looked like a crescent moon, and there were seven crystal rubies the size of soybeans inlaid on the bow, which looked extraordinary at first glance.

"My guest, I wonder if you will be punished alive or dead?" Su Pingan asked as he glanced at the purple-robed man outside the window.

"Who are you?" The purple-robed man glanced at Su Pingan.

Master Li glanced at Su Ping'an, smiled and said: "...Guest officer, this is the owner of Pingyue Pawnshop."

"Oh." The purple-robed man was stunned for a moment, "I'm passing Jinling, and my money is a bit tight, so I'll take this golden carving bow to death."

Su Ping'an was overjoyed, nodded, and said lightly: "Guest officer, if this bow is pawned to death, the pawnshop will give you 50 taels of silver, what do you think?"

"50 taels?" The purple-robed man hesitated, "It's a bit small, this is a precious bow passed down from my ancestors..."
