Dressed as cannon fodder and vowing to kick the heroine’s head off

The small county town is not big, so Xiaoqing knew the locations of the other two teahouses after going out and asking around.

It's quite far from here.

Also, for the same business, of course, the farther apart the better.

Knowing that it was not that close, Yun Xi simply walked slowly and watched.

There is no need to rush to implement things in the teahouse today. Her top priority is to find a lovable female gentleman for her daughter.

Of course she can teach her daughter herself, but she has a lot of things to take care of and cannot be with her daughter all day every day for 365 days.

Moreover, she is not very proficient in some common common sense in ancient times, nor is she very sure about it. It would be more appropriate to find someone knowledgeable at this time to teach her daughter.

As long as the person is suitable, she is willing to spend a lot of money to have someone accompany her daughter and tutor her daughter around the clock. The little princess needs someone to answer her 100,000 whys all the time.

The two were walking when they suddenly heard someone talking loudly next to them.

It was a pawn shop.

Facing Yun Xi and the others at the door of the pawn shop was a middle-aged man who looked like a shopkeeper. He had a goatee and was wearing a gray silk gown. He had his hands behind his back and looked disdainfully at the woman holding the guqin in front of him.

"Miss Lu, we can give you ten taels of this piano, which is already a cut-off price. If you are willing, just keep it. If you don't want to, forget it. I can't do a loss-making business."

The woman holding the guqin in her arms was thin and had her back to Yun Xi and the others. Wearing washed white cotton clothes. Even when she was humiliated, she still stood up straight.

"In that case, let's say goodbye." The girl only hesitated for a moment, bowed slightly, then turned and left.

"Madam, is this Guqin valuable?" Xiao Qing approached Yun Xi and asked quietly.

She doesn't know Guqin, but the way this girl hugs her tightly, she must cherish it. Ten taels of silver sounds like a very small amount.

Yun Xi hummed: "Twelve taels is definitely too little."

The price of a new Guqin on the market ranges from ten taels to one thousand taels, depending on the quality, craftsmanship, and reputation.

Because of her studies with Da Ru, she also did some research on the guqin.

Judging from the handle of this guqin, it must be several decades old. The material is not cheap either. I estimated it cost more than a hundred taels when I purchased it.

Guqins worth hundreds of taels generally have a good reputation. They are equivalent to modern antiques. The longer they last, the more valuable they become.

Ten taels of silver is definitely too little. Otherwise, this girl would not turn around and leave without hesitation.

"No one in the entire county dares to accept your piano except us. If Miss Lu doesn't think about herself, she should also consider your old and frail mother, right?" the shopkeeper shouted from behind her.

Yun Xi couldn't help but sneer. As expected, none of the people who opened the pawn shop were good at it, they all took advantage of others' danger. This Guqin will definitely make him a lot of money, otherwise he wouldn't want it so much.

Miss Lu had already walked out a few steps and stopped when she heard this.

Gritting her teeth, she turned to look at the shopkeeper with a look of insistence: "Boss, I can only accept the job."

"This guqin can only be played as a pawn." The shopkeeper's tone was equally stiff, leaving no room for negotiation.

"But...why? The clothes can be used as living things..." Miss Lu asked puzzledly, with a hint of pleading in her tone, "This is my father's relic. I hope I can redeem it when I have money in the future..."

"Miss Lu, where did you get the money? Did you get married? You are an older woman with an old mother. It would be great if someone wanted you. What man would take advantage of you, help your mother treat her illness, and spend money to redeem you?" Return a dead thing?"

"If I'm not wrong, you pawned this piano because you have nothing left to pawn at home, and your mother is in urgent need of money for medical treatment, right?"

A trace of pride flashed in the shopkeeper's eyes.

His guesses about people's hearts have always been accurate. Otherwise, his pawn shop would not be so profitable.

Miss Lu lowered her head in embarrassment.

The shopkeeper was right, everything in the house was almost pawned.

Marry? Her mother is still recovering from a serious illness, so where is her mood?

And apart from getting a bride price when she gets married, she really has no place to get money...

After pondering for a moment, Miss Lu looked at the other party sincerely: "This piano is of great significance to me, and it is also of great significance to my mother. Please be kind to the shopkeeper, please promise me to pay for it? I will redeem it when I have money in the future. ”

"Haha, redemption? How long? One year? Two years? Three years? Ten years? Your piano is so unlucky, and you still want to keep it here with me for so long? Do you want me to be exposed to your bad luck?" The shopkeeper His speech was very unpleasant.

"Shopkeeper, please be careful what you say! My father was very knowledgeable. During his lifetime, he was not only famous all over the world, but he also trained many capable people. Who in the county wouldn't respect him? Why did this Qin become unlucky when he left?" Miss Lu His voice trembled with anger.

How abominable!

The shopkeeper was obviously looking for an opportunity to vent his resentment because his father had not accepted his son as a student before.

When Yun Xi heard this, she became interested.

Her father is very knowledgeable, so she shouldn't be too bad, right?

"This piano of yours is unlucky. I have to sell it as soon as I get it. I don't know how much it can be sold for yet. The ten taels are already based on your father's face. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't even be able to spare a single tael of silver!" "The shopkeeper said solemnly.

"Girl, can you let me see your piano?" Yun Xi stepped forward and asked.

When the shopkeeper saw someone suddenly appear and interfere, he immediately stood nervously in front of the woman, preventing Yun Xi and Miss Lu from facing each other.

"Madam, we are discussing business. You are a woman, so please step aside. If you disturb this girl's important event, you cannot afford to pay for it!"

"I heard it all. Miss Lu wants to pawn the piano, but you won't accept it, right?" Yun Xi said with a smile.

"Which of your ears heard me saying I won't take it anymore?" The shopkeeper's face turned completely dark.

He could see that this woman was here to cause trouble!

"Miss Lu, let's go to the shop to talk. Don't let irrelevant people disturb us."

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he turned around and stretched out his hand to pull Miss Lu in together.

Miss Lu stepped back sharply: "Shopkeeper, please be careful whether men and women accept or not kiss each other."

The shopkeeper's forehead was throbbing with veins. Thinking of the valuable guqin, he tried his best to hold back his anger and lowered his voice: "Then go in quickly."

What to be careful about? Do you think you are a beautiful lady?

Your appearance is average at best, and you have a sixty-year-old woman who swallows gold every day. No one dares to take you as a concubine!

"Miss Lu, please stay." Yun Xi raised his voice and called to the girl who was about to go inside.

"I think I can meet your requirements for this guqin."

Regardless of whether this woman is suitable to be the husband of a young princess, her father should be respected for having trained so many students.

Instead of being bullied now!
