"Hey, that's great, let's give him a 'secret storehouse' with a pot, and Mao'er won't leave any leftovers for him!"
Xing'er is gearing up and very excited.
De'er was born with a dull temper. He looked at De'er coldly as his hands were rubbing together like a well-fed fly. He looked like he was looking at a little male dog that started to go into heat before all its fur had grown. He said in a dull voice: "Second Master only asked us to keep a close eye on him, but didn't let us do anything."
Xing'er rubbed his hands and rolled his eyes at De'er:
"I can't even think about it?"
De'er glanced at Xing'er and said in a cold voice:
"Just think it yourself, don't say it out loud."
How could Xing'er be willing to let people go? He immediately replied:
"The mouth is on me, I will speak out if I want, and you have nothing to do with it."
De'er stretched out his hand and put it on Xing'er's shoulder.
Before Xing'er could even finish the word "Zhu", he suddenly felt a weight of hundreds of kilograms suddenly pressing on his shoulders. His legs went weak and he knelt on the ground with a "gudong" sound. He was about to say "ah"
When he was about to exit, De'er pointed his finger at the mute point, and no sound came out. There was only a handsome little face, grinning and twisting into a sour plum.
"If you talk too much, I'll beat you up."
De'er shook his hand, Xing'er fell on his buttocks, and his dumb point was relieved.
Xing'er curled his lips, but didn't dare to speak anymore. He just cursed in his heart:
What a good job, why are you surrounded by such a dull-faced fool? A stubborn donkey who doesn’t understand people’s words, and a mule who doesn’t understand the style!
If I had known this, I should have worked hard with the second master in the morning, letting myself and him keep an eye on Lai Da, and letting Longer come and keep an eye on everyone. It would be bad luck to see this stupid donkey!
But coincidentally, Zhao'er, who was delivering [W with 1] news, came. Xing'er couldn't help but said that he would change jobs with Zhao'er no matter what.
Zhaoer had no choice but to agree to him.
De'er didn't bother to talk to him about which of the two was staying here. He only heard the report from the subordinates he brought with him, saying that Lai's house had opened the secret vault under the Buddhist building in the back garden and was moving things outside.
Well, De'er nodded and quickly gave instructions:
"Block the door, no one is allowed in, no one is allowed out. Watch carefully, no one is allowed to escape."
.
Besides, Lai Da carried two large food boxes and didn't dare to delay at all. He ran straight to Xianglai Street inside Xuanwumen.
In the early years, foreign countries would pay tribute to the imperial court with elephants as a sign of friendship. In the eighth year of Hongzhi in the Ming Dynasty, an elephant room and an elephant performance hall were established in the southwest city of Xuanwumen to domesticate elephants. Every year on June 6 of the lunar calendar, it is a legal "
"Elephant Washing Festival", whenever they see elephants walking in groups, people will rush to tell each other: "The elephants are coming, the elephants are coming." Over time, this only way for elephants to take a bath became known as
"Elephant Street".
Today's "Elephant Street" is not only lively during the elephant washing festival, but also very lively on ordinary days, with many shops.
Among these shops, "Wanfanghe" pawnshop has the largest shop floor, the largest plaque, and even the loudest clerk's voice. Therefore, the clerk with the loudest voice is nicknamed "Big Trumpet".
However, Big Speaker lost a lot of money in gambling last night, so I feel a little down today. I feel sleepy after eating, and am taking a nap while leaning on the counter.
Lai Dada rushed into Wanfanghe Pawnshop angrily. As soon as he saw the loudspeaker, he immediately pushed him and asked:
"Where is your boss? Hurry up, hurry up, I have something urgent here!"
He was startled by Big Speaker, who was dreaming about winning money. He suddenly opened his eyes and saw that it was Lai Da, the chief steward of Rongguo Mansion. He immediately became energetic:
"Hey! Isn't this Uncle Lai? But I haven't seen you for a few days. Our boss mentioned you yesterday. Oh, did you fall on your face? Why are you so careless? It hurts so much...
…”
Lai Da didn't want to listen to the loudspeaker, so he only said anxiously:
"I'm looking for your boss! Hurry!"
Big Speaker loves to talk, but he also saw Lai Da's pale face in a hurry, so he didn't dare to talk any more, and quickly led Lai Da into the counter.
While running to the backyard, Big Speaker kept talking all the way:
"Uncle Lai, it has been spread on the street that something has changed in your house?
I heard that it was the second brother Lian Erye who robbed Mr. Zheng’s Rongguo Mansion, right?
I heard that Mr. Lian was trying to drive Mr. Zheng out of the Rongguo Mansion. Mr. Zheng was so angry that he fainted, right?
Some people say that behind the scenes, the eldest brother, Master She, instigated his son to plot against the second brother, right?
Oh, Mr. Zheng’s daughter has become a concubine, so Mr. Zheng is the father-in-law of the country.
How can the father-in-law of the country handle being bullied by his nephew? Can the imperial concubine not avenge her father? If she blows a pillow in the emperor's ear and the emperor issues an imperial edict, won't she be able to get it back immediately?<
/p>
Oh, I also heard that Second Master Lian has the old lady in his hands and doesn't allow the old lady to meet the political master, right?"
Lai Da was so anxious that he ignored him. He entered the living room in the backyard and refused to sit down. He only said anxiously:
"Go and call your boss! If you're late, the business will be gone!"
The big speaker was quick with his words and his legs were not slow either. He immediately jumped up and ran into the back office.
Within a moment, Wan Fang and the pawn shop owner Ye Qiming were called.
.
Ye Qiming is only thirty-five years old. He is not tall and has a slight hunchback, but he is very energetic, especially his small black beard, which is so smooth that even a fly can slip on it.
At his age, those who can own such a large pawn shop will most likely inherit the family business.
But Ye Qiming is not. His father is a pig butcher in Hejian Prefecture, Zhili Province, and twelve years ago, he was the most inconspicuous clerk in the "Heng Shudian" pawnshop on Gulou West Street.
His back, which cannot be straight at all, is caused by the fact that he has been nodding and bending since he was a waiter at the age of ten.
Ye Qiming's fortune began when he met He Jin, the chief steward of Prince Zhongshun's palace.
Twelve years ago, it was He Jin who gave Ye Qiming the capital to open an inconspicuous small pawnshop on Xianglai Street. Even the name "Wan Fanghe" was given by He Jin.
If Ye Qiming were asked to name the pawn shop, he would rather call it "Jinbao".

Wan Fanghe? Doesn’t sound rich enough.
Although it took some good luck to make the leap from a clerk to a boss, Ye Qiming understood in his heart:
It was not because of how different he was that he gained the favor of Prince Zhongshun. It was just because He Jin happened to fall in love with his daughter-in-law at that time, so he was able to become brothers with the chief steward of Prince Zhongshun. p>
The reason why Wanfanghe Pawnshop is able to grow and prosper is not because it is good at business, but because of the power of Prince Zhongshun behind it.
Twelve years is not a long time, but how many good times can there be in a person's life?
Therefore, Ye Qiming cherishes the good days in front of him. He will listen to whatever He Jin says.
Anyway, if you listen to Brother He, Brother Ye will have a good life.
He Jin once told him that he wanted to win over Lai Da from the Rongguo Mansion.
So Lai Da suddenly arrived today, and Ye Qiming trotted in quickly, hunched over and smiling as soon as he met:
"Hey, isn't this Uncle Lai? Are you Kangtai?"
When he was working as a boy in a pawn shop many years ago, he left behind the habit of "nodding and bowing and calling uncle", and he has never been able to change it.
Lai Da had no intention of paying attention to these polite remarks. He placed the two food boxes in his hands heavily on the table, opened the lid, took out the baggage, and opened it:
"The shops that were mortgaged last time were the most profitable ones in Ningguo Mansion.
Today I have brought the house deeds, land deeds and land deeds of all the shops here in Rongguo Mansion and the house deeds, land deeds and land deeds in Zhuangzi. I also have the seal of Mr. Zheng here. They are all pledged to you. You can write them on any date. My sales, house deeds, land deeds, and land deeds are also pledged.
As long as the official banknotes are redeemable, it will definitely be accepted."
