Qianxin, who had lived in the Xue family for two days, didn't know what happened to the Xue family. She just felt that everyone seemed to be gloomy and worried, but they just didn't say anything.
Of course, Huan Xin didn't take the initiative to ask. He knew that in this case, the other party would not say anything, but it proved that the matter was very difficult. Maybe he hadn't figured out how to tell him yet!
In the early morning of this morning, Huanxin was still meditating when he heard someone knocking on his door. When he opened the door, he saw a girl with a pretty face and short stature standing at the door.
The one he took over was Xue Xiaoqing, the most beloved granddaughter of the head of the Xue family.
Xiao Qing looked at the tall and handsome Huan Xin and blushed a little and said: "Grandpa is waiting for you in the main hall. If uncle gets up, you can go over!"
Huan Xin always felt that she was almost the same age as Xue Xiaoqing, but it was very awkward to be called uncle by the other party, so she said to Xiaoqing: "Xiaoqing, we are about the same age. We are both young people, so don't call me uncle."
, just call your heart!”
Xiao Qing pursed her lips and smiled, maybe she thought it was a bit weird to call her this way, so she said, "But if grandpa knew, he would say that I don't distinguish between elder and younger!"
Huan Xin nodded helplessly and said, "Then just call me Huan Xin when there is no one around!"
After a while, Huanxin came to the main hall. At this time, Xue Zheng'e had been waiting here for a long time. After Huanxin saluted Xue Zheng'e, she also sat on the right side of Xue Zheng'e.
After the people on the side served tea to Huanxin, Huanxin picked up the tea cup and took a sip. He also heard the head of the Xue family asked with a smile: "Senior nephew Huanxin, are you still used to living here these days?"
Huan Xin nodded and said, "Very good. Thank you, Uncle Xue, for your hospitality."
Xue Zheng'e nodded after hearing this, and then his expression changed and he said: "I didn't mention it in the past two days. It was also because you just came out of the Laoye Temple Underground Palace and had a long journey, so I wanted you to have a good rest."
Huan Xin knew that she was preparing for a showdown with him, so her expression became serious and asked: "What problem did the Xue family encounter?"
Xue Zheng'e took a deep breath and slowly said to Huan Xin, this story is also very bizarre.
It is said that when the Xue family started doing business, their properties spread throughout central Sichuan, the most famous of which was your pawn shop.
A hundred years ago, the Xue Family Pawn Shop had become the largest pawn shop in this area. But one day, a strange person came to the pawn shop.
This person is about thirty years old, wearing ethnic minority clothing, and she looks like a pretty lady.
The woman took out a jade pendant, and it looked like it was a high-quality treasure. She asked for a hundred years of pawn, and asked for 100 taels of silver. The pawn shop's rule was that the treasure should only last for a hundred years, and the clerk was not sure, so he started from
The back hall called the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper at that time was the head of the Xue family and Xue Zheng'e's grandfather. When the old shopkeeper took the jade pendant, he was surprised. This was the first time he had seen a jade pendant of this quality. One hundred taels was indeed not much.
, but he was very curious about the fact that this woman wanted to be a child for a hundred years, so he asked the reason why.
The woman smiled lightly and didn't say much. She just said that in a hundred years, a descendant would definitely redeem the pawn ticket. At that time, 50 gold bars would be used as a ransom. If no one came after a hundred years, then the matter would be over.
Give it up, but if someone redeems it a hundred years later and the things are gone, the Xue family will definitely lose their chickens and dogs!
At that time, the old shopkeeper took a breath when he heard this. This seemed to be a thin line between heaven and hell. However, since he opened a pawnshop based on honesty, he would not even dare to answer for a hundred years. It would not be a joke if it was spread out.
So the old shopkeeper thought again and again, accepted the jade pendant, and wrote a pawn ticket for the woman! The stakes for a hundred years were clearly written on the pawn ticket, and the woman also carefully collected the one hundred taels of silver in the pawn ticket.
Before going out, he repeatedly told the Xue family to keep this jade pendant. Someone will definitely come to pick it up a hundred years later.
After the woman left, the old shopkeeper carefully put the jade pendant into the box and stored it in the warehouse.
Ten years later, the old shopkeeper's health was not as good as before, and he felt that he was about to run out of oil. He passed on the position of head of the family to his eldest son, and told him the history of the Xue family, and finally emphasized this
A jade pendant with a hundred-year contract.
The eldest son of this old shopkeeper is Xue Zheng'e's father. His father has also inherited his grandfather's mantle and will lead the Xue family to move forward in troubled times.
A few years later, Xue Zheng'e was born. At that time, the pawnshop business could be said to have plummeted. If the Xue family didn't have other businesses, they might not have been able to survive.
When Xue Zheng'e was three years old, the pawnshop finally couldn't survive and closed its doors. Over the years, the pawnshop's business had basically never owed any debts. Most of the worthless things were pawned, except for a jade pendant.
Xue Zheng'e's father was very sad, so he took him into the treasure house of his old house, and carefully collected the pawn ticket. He thought to himself, how can anyone pawn something for a hundred years? I really don't know.
Will someone come to redeem it in a hundred years?
The pawn shop was closed, and as the days passed, the incident was soon forgotten by everyone.
Until the year of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, his elderly father passed on the position of head of the family to Xue Zheng'e, who was still in his youth.
Some of the Xue family's businesses were brought back to their original ways and they began to do some Feng Shui yin and yang business.
Just a few years later, not long after the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was time for Xue Zheng'e's father to hit the road. Since the past generations of the Xue family were still a little lazy about cultivation, they all spent their energy on maintaining the Xue family in troubled times, so cultivating
Neither of the two generations with high incomes lived long.
Before his father died, he passed on the secrets of the Xue family and Beiming to Xue Zheng'e. After Xue Zheng'e learned the family secret, he was also very surprised and asked why he hadn't seen anyone from Beiming in so many years. His father also smiled bitterly and said, let alone
Even he and his grandfather have never met him!
However, the ancestral precepts are the ancestral precepts. The lack of connection does not mean that there is no father. Let Xue Zheng'e kneel down and swear to God that he must follow the ancestral precepts!
Then he took out this century-old jade pendant and told him to keep it. It was almost half the time. Maybe someone would come to redeem it after a hundred years. Xue Zheng'e looked at the promissory note and it was written clearly.
Not leaving the chickens and dogs behind, I was also frightened for a while.
In the following years, during the period when everything was in dire straits shortly after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Xue family soared to the sky with its rich financial resources, and their career was in full swing. It can be said that a hundred flowers bloomed, and they ushered in another peak of career development!
Xue Zheng'e also opened another Xue family pawnshop on the original site of the original pawnshop, which was also in compliance with his father's last wish.
However, with the development of society, the pawnshop business became increasingly unsatisfactory, and later it became a tourist attraction. After entering the new century, the Xue family's pawnshop area also faced demolition and reconstruction, and the pawnshop had no choice but to reopen.
Closed!
At this time, there were only a few years away from the agreed date, but Xue Zheng'e, who was over eighty years old, seemed to have forgotten this matter!
A slight coincidence also made this jade disappear! In fact, when the pawnshop closed, my youngest son Xue Ziwen, who is also the most business-minded person in the Xue family today, is also Xue Xiaoqing's father. At that time, he actually gave this jade pendant
