Rebirth of the Republic of China

Chapter 21 Exchange Money

Yan Liang originally thought that Deling's delivery of these things would make the beauty smile, who would have thought that the beauty would look at the things in the room silently for a long time, but her face was still full of knots that couldn't be resolved.

Didn't you want to make money in a hurry, so you asked yourself here?Why are you not happy to see so many precious things?

Yan Liang couldn't figure it out, he didn't know why he didn't care about the pretending, but was actually looking forward to the commander's report.

After Shao Xintang waited for everyone to leave, she held her swollen forehead with one hand and poured herself a cup of tea with the other.Xiao Jian'an curiously touched this and touched that, making slight exclamations from time to time.

Shao Xintang looked at the child, the child had been eating and sleeping well recently, he had grown a lot taller, there was some flesh on his bones, and his head didn't look too big and obtrusive anymore.From the cloth, I picked a dark blue cloth embroidered with thin-leaf orchid patterns, and a green bamboo cloth.Let the servants outside the door deliver the rest to Team Leader Shen Caitian, as well as a box of snacks from Shanfangzhai.

Nie Jian'an watched anxiously as someone took away a large box of exquisite and attractive pastries, and his saliva dripped onto the dirty front of his shirt.The big black eyes were full of longing, but he didn't say a word. When the person walked away, he reluctantly looked away and reached out to wipe his saliva.

Turning around, a piece of thumb-thick, yellow peanut cake was being held up in front of his eyes.Nie Jian'an bit it without thinking.It wasn't until the fragrant pastry melted in his mouth that Nie Jian'an seemed to realize what was going on. He looked up and saw his godfather looking at him with a doting face, and handed a different dessert to him. In front of me, the voice said softly: "Don't eat too much and have a toothache, this box is yours, eat slowly."

Nie Jian'an nodded with tears in his eyes, holding the crabapple-scented pastry in his mouth.He remembered the winter New Year's Eve of the year when his parents died. He watched his cousins ​​at his uncle's house eating the hot sugar pancakes made by his aunt. The piece he got was snatched away, and several cousins ​​and sisters scolded him for being a drag bottle, saying that he was against his father and mother, that he was eating rice here... He cried, and then he was kicked out by his aunt for the reason of frustration and punished him to stand. .My uncle was afraid of guilt, so he just let out a long sigh... He was only seven years old that year, and the weather in midwinter was freezing cold, freezing the ground. He already knew that no one in this world would love him anymore...

Looking at the young face that couldn't hide his kindness, Nie Jian'an knew that there was still someone in this world who loved him and was willing to treat him well...

In my previous life, I lived a rich and prosperous life. Even the bowls used for eating at home are made of SWAROVSKI crystal. I have never seen any rare treasures or antiques.These things are really good-looking in a magnificent home.But now he is so poor that he has sold his body, and he is still pretending to be an uncle. Put aside all the elegance and nobleness, he only wants to live the life of an ordinary person now.

So the next day, Shao Xintang wrapped the three-foot-high blue and white porcelain in a half-worn piece of black cloth removed from old clothes, and took it to the largest "Qin's pawnshop" here.Fortunately, this blue and white porcelain is as thin as a cicada's wing, huge in size but light in weight.

It was noon when Shao Xintang entered the "Qin's Pawnshop", and a boy of seventeen or eighteen was dozing off at the counter.This is a small branch of Qin's pawn shop. The space is not large, but the decoration is very delicate. The hall is surrounded by red peach wood decorations, and a few beautiful antiques can be placed on a row of black raw wood cabinets.There is a tall wooden squat on each side of the counter, and there are symmetrical ear bottles carved with complicated patterns.A small room also looks exquisite and pleasing.

Shao Xintang looked around and was very satisfied, so she knocked on the glass window on the counter, woke up the drowsy boy, and said, "Call your shopkeeper and show him something."

The shopkeeper, Liu Dasheng, was sitting in front of the young master who rarely came to make an inspection. He flattered and asked the young man what kind of person he was.The young guy described him as a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a gray robe that is common in the market, his appearance was extremely beautiful.

After hearing this, Liu Dasheng slapped the boy on the back of the head fiercely for a while, lowered his voice and angrily said: "Everyone wants to see me, can I see you? Didn't you see the young master of the boss here? You don't have any winks."

The little guy just woke up, and was hit on the head again, his brain was buzzing with pain, and he was also full of anger.Then he ran back to the front room angrily, and the instigator was standing tall and handsome by the pier, carefully looking at the pair of ear bottles.

The young man was confused by the beautiful scenery in front of him, and his voice was much gentler than he imagined, "I'm sorry, my guest, it happens that our shopkeeper has something to do and can't leave, why don't you come back tomorrow."

Shao Xintang frowned her perfectly shaped eyebrows.It took him half an hour in a rickshaw to get here, and he just returned in vain?

"How long will it take for your shopkeeper to finish the work?"

"Hurry up." The young man thought for a while, and felt that the young master of the owner must not be able to stay for long.

"Then I'll wait a while."

Shao Xintang sat on the octagonal table in the middle of the hall.The clever boy ran to the back hall to make tea for him, and boldly stole the Dahongpao that the shopkeeper himself drank.

There was no one in the pawn shop at this time, and Shao Xintang was chatting with the boy when he heard footsteps and conversations coming from the corridor in the back hall.

The little guy hurriedly withdrew to the side and stood respectfully at the door.Seeing that someone was about to come out, Shao Xintang put down her teacup and stood up.

The purple bead curtain was lifted from the inside with a crisp sound. Shao Xintang turned around and saw a familiar face walking slowly among the crowd.The shopkeeper next to him bent over and lifted the curtain for him with a fat smile on his face, muttering in his mouth: "There is a threshold here, young master, be careful!"

The young man known as the young master combed his hair parted in the middle. He looked sleek and handsome, but he had his pink cheeks and pretended to be mature.Could it be Master Rong, Qin Yuerong?

It's really a narrow road for enemies!

The moment Shao Xintang and Qin Yuerong's eyes met, without thinking about anything, his face changed and became tense.When Qin Yuerong saw him for the first time, his eyes lit up, and then when he saw Shao Xintang saw the change in himself, his expression became ugly.

The shopkeeper, Liu Dasheng, is winking.Seeing that these two young masters are about the same age and staring at each other, they know that they know each other, but from the turbulent eye movements, they don't know the relationship between the two.So in this awkward silence, he asked softly and cautiously: "Who is this gentleman?"

"It's the guest who wanted to show you something just now, and he's been waiting for you here." The young man didn't know what to do, and stepped forward to answer the shopkeeper's words.

No matter what, he was an acquaintance, even though he was reluctant in his heart, Shao Xintang stood up and greeted Qin Yuerong who was standing still, with a polite voice: "What a coincidence, Master Rong is also here."

Qin Yuerong looked at Shao Xintang's slightly curved mouth, this kind of polite and hypocritical smile towards strangers became more and more glaring.He remembered that when Shao Xintang was sitting next to Yu Zhannan, even if he didn't smile, his posture was casual and relaxed. When he came to him, he smiled defensively. For some reason, he felt a sense of grievance that he had never felt before.

So, he said bluntly: "This is my family's property, I'm here to inspect, what's wrong?"
