In Mingzhou City in April, it was warm and cold, and the weather was already warm like spring. It was just after the hour of the day, and the hawkers on the corner of the street had already set up their stalls, waiting for customers to come to their doors.It was the time for breakfast, and the shops on the street had opened up one after another to welcome customers.On the opposite side of the street is a three-story high-rise building, which can be regarded as a large-scale building in Mingzhou City. I saw the three characters "Cuihua Pavilion" written on the wooden plaque between the eaves.Such an imposing and elegant place is not a restaurant or an inn, but the biggest pawnshop in Mingzhou City.

This pawnshop business is so big, it is not in vain. Firstly, the shopkeeper surnamed Xu seemed to be well-known in the Jianghu when he was young. Secondly, the business of Cuihua Pavilion has always been honest and trustworthy. It opened in Mingzhou City. It has had a good reputation for five or six years.It's just that I don't know what kind of wind is blowing today, and just after Chen Shi, the Cuihua Pavilion, which has been open until Si Shi, has opened its doors. I don't know what kind of business it is, but the shopkeeper Xu made an exception.While doing business, the peddler was distractedly staring at the gate of Cuihua Pavilion.

After about a quarter of an hour, there was movement at the gate of Cuihua Pavilion.I saw the old guy from the store come out first, then he turned around, bent over and lifted the curtain courteously.Sure enough, he is not an ordinary customer, the peddler thought, even this old guy has come out, so he must be some kind of rare treasure.

Then a man in blue came out. It looked like a young man, perhaps to avoid people's eyes and ears. On the empty street at this early hour, this young man actually wore a black satin hood and a black The gauze covered the cheeks, leaving only the eyes exposed.This young man was a bit more cautious, the peddler thought to himself, if he knew it, he was here as a pawn, but if he didn't know it, he might be mistaken for a robber.

Immediately after this young master came out another person, it was the shopkeeper Xu of Cuihua Pavilion.Shopkeeper Xu clasped his fist at the young master, and the young man in blue immediately saluted back, Shopkeeper Xu said:

"Young master, thanks to you for not giving up, you trust me, Cuihua Pavilion, and take the things to me, and I troubled you to run twice, and hope that you will be happy."

"Shopkeeper Xu is serious. Let's trade fairly. Both money and goods will be settled. Shopkeeper Xu is a straightforward person. Thank you so much." The young man in blue saluted again and said:

"Then I will take my leave"

After speaking, he turned and left. The man's eyes were heroic, and the moment he turned his head slightly, the morning light shone on the corners of his eyes, which seemed to be more dazzling than the colored glaze.

The old man of the "treasurer" watched the figure of the man disappear into the corner of the street, finally couldn't restrain his excitement, and rubbed his hands together:

"That colored glaze bottle is definitely a rare treasure in this world. This time it's a dead giveaway. I don't know what price we want to resell. Maybe we can turn it ten times or a hundred times."

When the old man thought that it was ten times and a hundred times more than 20 taels of gold, he almost fainted with excitement, as if the golden piles of gold were rushing towards him.

Still the shopkeeper Xu was mature and steady, he glanced at the old man, turned around and walked back, saying as he walked:

"That thing is not for sale, pack it up immediately and put it in a safe place"

The old man was stunned, and immediately followed, asking puzzledly:

"Don't sell, don't sell such a good treasure, can it be used as a decoration?"

While talking, shopkeeper Xu and the waiter both entered the building, only to hear shopkeeper Xu lower his voice and say:

"In a few days, the island owner will pass by Mingzhou City on business. I haven't seen him for a long time. I just want to give this glass bottle to the island owner..."

The young man in blue turned a few corners and stopped at the door of an inn. He entered the door of the inn with the buns he bought on the road. The young man who was still covering tightly didn't make a fuss, as if he was used to it, he just smiled and said hello, and then went to other tasks.

The young man went upstairs with the steamed stuffed bun, and stopped in the No. [-] Herringbone Room on the second floor. He knocked on the door lightly, but seeing no answer from inside, he shook his head and opened the door and went in.

Sure enough, as soon as he entered the door, he saw a small figure still on the bed. He put the bun on the table, untied the black veil covering it, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This young man in blue was Feng Heng. A few days ago, he arranged the funeral of old man Mei. After paying homage to old man Mei in front of the grave, he led Xiaomei to Mingzhou City.The thinking and cognition of the ancients were backward after all. The old man Mei was only suffering from cancer, but those villagers thought it was tuberculosis, a terrible infectious disease. Although they didn’t dare to say it clearly, the meaning of rejecting him and Xiaomei was very obvious. .In addition to his anger, he felt that the environment was not suitable for Xiaomei's life, so he led Xiaomei to the relatively prosperous Mingzhou.

Only relative, he and Xiaomei are facing a problem in their lives.They have no source of income, and the government in this old era doesn't have any welfare policies. He doesn't understand this ancient life, and he doesn't know what to do for a while.At this time, Xiaomei took out the comb he gave her before and said:

"Young master, I know that grandpa's funeral cost a lot of money, I still don't want this comb, you can use it as a pawn."

Xiaomei's words were like enlightenment. Feng Heng remembered the many idle supplies in his thinking warehouse, and finally saw the hope of the way forward.However, his resource reserves are either clothes or food, weapons or medicines. In this era, it is estimated that he will either be thrown into the street or cause an uproar.After thinking about it, he had to take out the empty nutrient solution bottle he had drunk. Fortunately, he did not litter everywhere for the sake of environmental protection. Although the bottle is made of glass, at this time, there are already glazed products in Europe. Well, China will also introduce colored glaze crafts. If he wants to pawn this thing, except that he feels unkind and a little sorry for the ancient ancestors, it shouldn't be too shocking.

It's just that he didn't expect that this time would be 20 taels of gold. If there is no inflation at this time, the money is enough for him to be familiar with this era so much that he can no longer be familiar with it.
