Li Huimei looked at Myolie Wu's mouth again, smiled and nodded.
"Is it mouth juice?"
Xing Rui shook his head,
"It's a kind of surgery called lip bleaching. It can permanently make your mouth the same color without having to apply mouth fluid."
"ah!"
Li Huimei's jaw dropped this time.
"My sister-in-law likes it. I will find time to give her one too."
"Like it, like it, like it."
Li Huimei shouted "like" three times in a row, somewhat incoherently, and nodded repeatedly.
"Then find a day and I'll get it for my sister-in-law."
After seeing off Li Huimei, Xing Rui saw the sweaty Xu Dachun and quickly handed her a handkerchief.
"Sister, is this okay?"
Xing Rui looked into the steaming pot. There was not much water left in the pot.
I scooped some of it up with a spoon. It was bright red and a very festive color.
"Okay, scoop it into the wooden basin. Wait a minute, I'll find a clean wooden basin."
Xing Rui was busy here, and Liang Sheng also came to the town.
Looking at the only pawn shop in the town, he pressed the straw hat on his head hard and walked in.
"Sir, do you have any goods you want to pawn?"
A man with gray hair standing at the counter looked at Liang Sheng and asked. Liang Sheng said nothing, took out the bark-wrapped dagger from his trousers, and handed it over.
The man looked strange at such a thing. He looked at Liang Sheng and asked,
"This is?"
"You'll know when you open it."
Liang Sheng seemed reluctant to talk much.
The gray-haired man found a pair of scissors and cut the bark off the dagger.
When he saw the corner of golden light exposed, his eyes immediately shone with light, and the movements of his hands became faster involuntarily.
When the entire dagger leaked out, Liang Sheng clearly saw the man's open-mouthed surprised expression.
"You, where did you get this thing?"
"How much can I give?"
Liang Sheng asked very coldly, and then the man came to his senses and said hurriedly,
"I'm going to ask the shopkeeper. Sir, please wait a moment, wait a moment."
Snapped……
Liang Sheng slapped the dagger that the man was about to pick up.
"Things cannot be taken away. Since what you said does not count, then call the person who said it does not count."
"Oh oh oh... ok, ok."
The middle-aged man hurriedly stood up and walked away. After a while, a man with gray hair and about the same age came out.
"He is the shopkeeper."
The shopkeeper looked at Liang Sheng who was wearing a straw hat for a long time and asked,
"Where are the things? Let me take a look?"
Liang Sheng handed the dagger over again, and the shopkeeper was also surprised when he saw it.
Hold it in your hand, turn it left and right and look at it carefully.
"It's it, it's it. Legend has it that a hundred years ago, when King Xiang was fighting against bandits, his personal dagger fell into the river.
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers searched the river for three days without finding this thing, but it was found today."
King Xiang? When he heard this title, Liang Sheng's heart suddenly twitched inexplicably.
"Where did you find this?"
After looking around, the shopkeeper who didn't want to ask turned out to be the same sentence.
Liang Sheng, who was suddenly a little upset, reached out and snatched the dagger away.
"It's inappropriate."
"Hey, hey, hey... how much is it? Can you tell me the number?"
The shopkeeper hurriedly chased after him. Liang Sheng, who had walked out a few steps, suddenly stopped. The face of the old woman from the Xing family appeared in his mind again.
Thirty taels of silver, collected in twenty days?
Where can I get so much money? No, I must not let this old lady make trouble at home again.
That woman Xing Rui is very angry. If she is crippled again, the family may not be able to survive.
Thinking of this, Liang Sheng turned around again and looked at the shopkeeper who followed him with a hurried expression.
"Since it belongs to Prince Xiang, the price must not be less."
I know this thing is expensive, but how much does it cost?
Liang Sheng didn't have an accurate count in his mind. After thinking for a long time, he stretched out five fingers.
"Five thousand taels?"
The shopkeeper didn't say anything, but the gray middle-aged man shouted out.
Liang Sheng actually wanted five hundred taels, but he didn't expect that the other party would directly call out five thousand taels. He immediately knew that he was going to be short.
"Yes, five thousand taels."
"No, no, no, this is too much."
The shopkeeper kept his eyes fixed on the dagger in Liang Sheng's hand, as if he was afraid that Liang Sheng would run away with this thing in the next second.
"The most I can give you is one thousand taels, which is already the top price."
As soon as Liang Sheng heard this, he immediately put the dagger into his sleeve, and the anxious pawnshop owner reached out to grab it.
"Young man, this thing of yours is a lost item of the royal family. If I declare it to customs, you won't get a penny."
Seeing that Liang Sheng refused to let go, the shopkeeper started to scare people.
"Ah……"
Liang Sheng sneered,
"Then just go report it to the official."
With that said, he was about to walk out, but the shopkeeper gave in, grabbed Liang Sheng's arm, and begged,
"Two thousand taels, I can only give you two thousand taels."
Liang Sheng didn't like being in contact with this kind of person either. He turned around and looked at the shopkeeper and said,
"Three thousand taels, I'll keep it here for a year and it will work."
"Do you want to redeem it?"
The shopkeeper looked at Liang Sheng in disbelief, but Liang Sheng shook off his hand and asked,
"Okay or not? If yes, I'll leave it here. If I don't come to redeem it after a year, you can handle it yourself."
"this?"
The shopkeeper also lowered his head and thought about paying. This is a good thing, but three thousand taels is still worth it. Is this?
But looking at Liang Sheng's outfit, the shopkeeper immediately raised a ghostly smile on his lips.
Looking at how poor he is, he won't be able to redeem such a valuable thing when the time comes.
"Okay, three thousand taels, if you live for one year, if you don't redeem it at that time, this thing will belong to me."
"Then write a letter as evidence,"
The shopkeeper's cunning look did not skip Liang Sheng's eyes. Liang Sheng didn't know if he would still remember this incident.
But he just suddenly wanted to find a job when his head was hot, and he always felt that he had some fate with this dagger.
"Okay, write down the pawn ticket, and give it to me as a pawn, a dagger inlaid with gold and precious stones, rusty and in poor condition..."
Liang Sheng was also shocked when he heard the shopkeeper talking about such a valuable thing in such a bad way.
How did he know that as long as something entered the pawn shop, even the crown on the emperor's head, he would label it as junk?
It is the rule of this profession to belittle someone as worthless.
When the ticket was written and handed to Liang Sheng, the shopkeeper was also surprised when he saw that Liang Sheng had been looking at it carefully for a long time.
"What, are you literate?"
"After a few days of private schooling, I know some words, okay, I'll accept it."
Liang Sheng put the pawn ticket in his pocket and looked at the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper hurriedly handed over a three thousand tael silver note in his hand.
Liang Sheng also handed over the dagger in his hand.
"One year, one year, if you don't come to redeem it, this thing will be mine."
The shopkeeper's face was full of uncontrollable excitement, reminding Liang Sheng.
"You keep it well for me and wait for me to redeem it."
