Chapter 251 The pawnshop(1/2)

Chen Yuru got up early in the morning. She had to go to the pawn shop. There were fewer people in the morning, so as not to make those people look weird when they saw her.

Yang originally wanted to go with her, but Chen Yuru refused. It was a dishonorable thing for her to go to the pawn shop. Wouldn't it be more eye-catching if she went with her mother? She couldn't afford to embarrass that person!

Chen Yuru looked at the pieces of jewelry at home. They were all small pieces and she didn't know how much they were worth. She was very reluctant to part with them, but she would definitely need a lot of silver to live a good life.

She estimated that she took a gold hairpin and a pair of earrings. The style of the gold hairpin was still popular a few years ago. She seemed to have spent more than forty taels of silver when she bought it, and the pair of earrings.

A young man from a rich family gave it to her. The style is quite unique, but it's not worth much money, only a dozen taels of silver!

The total cost of this is sixty taels of silver. The pawnshop will definitely not be able to pawn that much. Chen Yuru estimates that more than forty taels should be enough! After all, these are gold ornaments.

Twenty taels will be given to the woman as compensation, and the remaining twenty taels will be kept for use. She and her mother will save a little, plus the remaining ten taels of silver at home, these more than thirty taels can be used for less than half a year.

.

Chen Yuru made a plan in her mind and wrapped the two pieces of jewelry in a handkerchief. There were three other pieces of jewelry left. She carefully collected them and hid them.

Chen Yuru went out directly when it was getting dark early. She didn't even eat breakfast because she was afraid of meeting those talkative women and having to deal with them.

Chen Yuru knew where the pawn shop was. When she went to a restaurant for dinner, she encountered a pawn shop on the way. If it could be opened on the street, it must be a popular pawn shop with good business, so it shouldn't be too deceptive!

The owner of the pawn shop was a middle-aged man. He smiled when he saw Chen Yuru passing by. How should I put it, he looked like a pretty honest and honest middle-aged man.

"What do you want, girl? We pawnshops are innocent." The middle-aged man smiled honestly.

"Shopkeeper, look at these two things. How much are they worth?"

Chen Yuru smiled and handed the jewelry in the veil to the man.

As soon as the man saw the jewelry, his eyes became serious and he looked at it carefully.

This jewelry is all made of pure gold, but unfortunately, the style is out of date, so it can only be sold at the price of gold.

"This hairpin is of good quality, but the quality is not good enough. It must be a few years old. These earrings are new, but they are too light and not worth much money." The shopkeeper looked at Chen Yuru and said.

He always gives fair prices, otherwise the business would not be so good. This is gold jewelry, so there is no way to deceive anyone.

"Together with the hairpin and these earrings, I will give the girl thirty-five taels of silver." said the shopkeeper.

"Shopkeeper, I paid double the price when I bought it! It's only been a few years, how come it's so low!" Chen Yuru said in surprise.

"Girl, how much money did you spend when you bought it? I don't know this, but I must have liked this style when I bought it. But now this style is out of date. To be honest, girl, you can only take this thing back.

It can be used as a gold bar and is useless for anything else. So, I can only give you this price." The middle-aged man explained patiently.

He couldn't make much money from this business. If the girl didn't want to, she could go elsewhere. He didn't feel any pity at all.

When Chen Yuru saw the shopkeeper's expression, she seemed to have no reluctance at all, as if she could do the business without doing it, which made Chen Yuru feel unsure.

"Then thirty-five taels! I'm in a hurry to use it." Chen Yuru gritted her teeth and agreed.

After going to other places, she estimated that the price would be at most this price. Although it was less than she expected, it was not too outrageous, so she would just make do with it!

In the end, the shopkeeper gave Chen Yuru thirty-five taels of cash and gave her a small money bag to put in it.

Chen Yuru nodded and thanked her, took the money and left, but took one last look at the earrings.

It’s not a big deal, we won’t see each other again anyway, so just let her be the one!

She got up early in the morning, and now she was a little hungry. Thinking of the dumplings she ate that night, it seemed that the shop still sold dumplings in the morning?

Chen Yuru thought that it was quite close anyway, so she went to Zhou Yan's place to pay back the money, and then went to buy steamed buns, which she could take back to eat with her mother.

When she thought about going there, her heart was filled with humiliation. At this time, Ying Qiaoer and the others were also going there, right? Then if she went there, wouldn't she be in trouble? She felt that this was humiliation, and she would definitely be gossiped about.

.

But then she thought again, if she met those two people, could she take the opportunity to tell them what a shameless person their shopkeeper was!

Chen Yuru thought about it, and finally walked towards the powder shop. When she got there, Ying Qiaoer and Li Yuyan had already arrived, but Zhou Yan had not gone there yet.

"Is Miss Chen here to repay the money?" Yun Jin asked.

When she saw Chen Yuru, she knew that this must be the case. Their eldest lady hadn't come yet, and she had given instructions. If she hadn't been there, she would have taken Chen Yuru's money directly.

"Yes, the eldest lady hasn't come yet? Aren't we going to teach Miss Ying and the others today? I'm afraid the eldest lady got up late, she is really childish." Chen Yuru said with a smile.

What she said was that Zhou Yan was not serious at all and had promised to teach them, but in the end he didn't even get up.

"Miss Chen is overthinking. Our eldest lady said yesterday that she would like to let me teach some basic things first. She went to another shop. The eldest lady couldn't stay idle and opened three shops at once! We all have to worry about it. We

The shopkeepers all said that if a good lady doesn’t do anything, she has to do this, but she doesn’t have to worry about it." Yun Jin also replied with a smile.

She couldn't tell that there was something in Chen Yuru's words. She didn't want to explain anything at first, but there were others around and she couldn't ruin the reputation of their eldest lady!

Chen Yuru's face froze, and she felt that Yun Jin was indeed a talkative person and was not inferior to her at all. On the contrary, when she said this, everyone could tell that Zhou Yan was a motivated and powerful young lady.

They are rich, but they strive for success. The nice young lady doesn't want to have fun, so she runs out to do business. She even opened three shops at once, and she does everything herself. Isn't that amazing?

"That young lady is really amazing." Chen Yuru said dryly with a stiff smile.

"Isn't Miss Chen here to pay back the money? Let's get started! I still have something to do. The eldest lady asked me to teach them both. I'm not done yet!" Yun Jin urged.

This tone was very much like that of a debt collector. Chen Yuru had never owed anyone money before, and this was the first time that she was being urged to repay money like this. She felt indescribably depressed.

"This is twenty taels of silver, please take a look at it, Manager Yun!" Chen Yuru handed the silver to Yun Jin.

Yun Jin actually opened it and took a look, then curled her lips and smiled.

"Okay, if Miss Chen has nothing to do, then please do so! I still have something to do, so I won't talk to Miss Chen." Yun Jin said politely.

"There's nothing else going on. I'll take my leave now. Manager Yun is busy!" Chen Yuru said calmly.

Then she turned around and left. She never wanted to come to this shop again!

Ying Qiaoer and Li Yuyan were silent next to them, always feeling that they couldn't understand or understand anything. How could it be that in just one night, Miss Chen not only didn't come, but she also gave Guan Yun money?

"Okay, let's continue! If you are curious, I can answer you. Don't hold anything in your heart. If you want to know, just ask directly. In our place, the eldest lady and I don't like people who talk behind their backs.

If we find out, we will be punished." Yun Jin said seriously.

She is a straight-tempered person, and the eldest lady doesn't like people who beat around the bush, and she doesn't like people who gossip behind their backs. If there is something, why can't you just say it plainly? Why are you speculating behind the scenes!

As soon as Yun Jin finished speaking, Ying Qiaoer blushed a little. She was not the kind of person who liked to gossip behind people's back, but she would inevitably discuss it with others.

"Well, well, I'm curious..." Ying Qiaoer raised her little hand and said weakly.

She's not used to it yet, but she's so well-behaved! Manager Yun said not to discuss it outside, but if she didn't ask, she would definitely talk to Li Yuyan about it, otherwise she would feel uncomfortable!

Yun Jin looked over and Ying Qiaoer's face turned even redder. Ouch, she was scared! But Manager Yun said she could ask!

"Say." Yun Jin said with a smile.

She felt really helpless. Even though she said this, she just told them that they were not allowed to discuss matters in the shop behind their back in the future, lest it spread to outsiders' ears.

She said she could ask, but no normal person would ask directly, okay? This Ying Qiaoer is really a fun girl.

"Well, I want to know, didn't the eldest lady say yesterday that in addition to the two of us, Miss Chen is also staying? Why isn't she here again? She just came to pay back the money?" Ying Qiaoer asked in a low voice.

road.

"Of course our eldest lady will not go back on her promise. It's just that Miss Chen doesn't want to come. But the terms have been written and her fingerprints have been stamped. The money is just Miss Chen's compensation for the box of makeup." Yun Jin briefly described it.

Ying Qiaoer and Li Yuyan finally understood that it turned out that Miss Chen didn't want to do it herself, so she paid for the box of items!

Ying Qiaoer still doesn't understand why Miss Chen doesn't want such a good job! Where can she find it if the monthly salary is so high?

However, she also thought that Miss Chen seemed to have some issues with the eldest lady, and she probably didn't want to do it because of that.

She was sensible enough not to ask any more questions. If she continued to ask questions, she would really be the annoying one. Anyway, she knew almost everything.

"No problem?" Yun Jin looked at Ying Qiaoer with a half-smile and said.

Ying Qiaoer shook her head like a rattle, her expression as innocent as possible.

"That's it, there's no problem, let's continue studying!" Yun Jin said.

Although the two girls have poor foundations and know almost nothing, they are serious in their studies and smart. They understand it almost immediately after being taught it. Yun Jin's teaching is also easy.

Zhou Yan did get up early. She had breakfast and then went to the clothing store. She, the shopkeeper, hadn't even checked the situation yet!

It's the same thing. The ready-made clothing store has chosen two clerks. They are girls with particularly good figures. They are also straightforward and don't care about showing off their figures. Anyway, they are good-looking and can wear such beautiful clothes in this store. They

Of course he is happy.

Similarly, Zhou Yan ordered two sets of clothes for them, which they could wear interchangeably. One set of clothes cost three taels of silver, and two sets of clothes cost six taels of silver. Zhou Yan also asked Yu Qing to ask their opinions. These clothes must be

You have to wear it, but it's not completely free. They need five taels of silver.

One tael of silver a month will be deducted until the deduction is over. The two girls are very happy. If one tael of silver is deducted, there will still be four taels of silver a month! And it is not in vain to ask for their money, these clothes are simply

It’s so pretty!

When Zhou Yan passed by, the two girls were already there, and they had also put on new clothes. The clothes were the same color, but the styles were different. Between the two sets of clothes, Zhou Yan chose a green long coat with silver paintings on it.

The edges are very nice and look very conspicuous.

The other piece is a black lower skirt with dark red lines on it, and the upper jacket is in a bright goose yellow color. There is a small circle of white velvet on the collar that can be removed, which looks cute and unique.

The two girls have their own merits. One of them is a girl like Yu Qing. She is small and young, with a face as big as a palm and a figure that is bulging forward and backward, which is amazing!

The other girl is a taller one with a thin figure, but because she is tall and has a cold face, she has an extra personality.

Yu Qing was also wearing clothes specially worn by stewards. He smiled softly and looked extremely warm.
