Jia Lian is full of confidence: It must be Jia Huan!
"I didn't... didn't dare to catch him."
"What? You didn't dare?
When you brag, why don't you say you don't dare?
Even if he is a young man in the house, he dares to steal things in our yard, and still dares to pawn things outside, shouldn't he be arrested? Don't you dare to arrest him?
You're afraid of him, why aren't you afraid of me?"
The more Jia Lian talked, the angrier he became. He grabbed Xing'er's ears and started to kick him in the butt.
Xing'er bared his teeth and said "Oh" repeatedly, but he didn't dare to hide, and his face turned red with anxiety:
"Second Master, please spare your life! It's not the young master who's here, it's the old master!"
.
Old... old man?
Hey, this house is getting more and more ridiculous now.
Old man?
Jia Jing who made alchemy?
Lecherous Jia She?
Rigid Jia Zheng?
Which one of them do you think looks like a master who can run into Ping'er's room and steal a hundred taels of silver?
No, the three of them are not as good as the old man.
Jia Lian kicked Xing'er on the butt:
"Monkey boy, you're talking nonsense, right?
You're thinking that I won't kick you to death, right?"
Xing'er was kicked, grinning and almost crying:
"You really are an old man!
He is Uncle Rui’s grandfather, the master of the school, and the old lady of Dai Confucianism!”
"What...what?!"
Jia Lian was also stupid.
The one who is going to be the golden hairpin is actually Jia Dairu???
This old man is Jia Lian's grandfather. He is just an old scumbag who has been studying and taking exams all his life. In the end, he only got the status of a scholar. Even Fan Jin couldn't catch up. In the end, he had to rely on family connections to make do.
He became the principal of Jia's private school.
Just like this, an old man in his seventies secretly sneaked into Ping'er's room to steal the gold hairpin, then sneaked into his study to steal a mirror and ran away?
With his old arms, old legs, and old heart, he still wants to be a thief? Aren't he afraid that if he gets excited in the middle, he will just burp on the way to theft?
Wait! Mirror!!!
Jia Rui!!!
Could it be that his grandfather wants to steal the mirror to save Jia Rui?
No, how did Jia Dairu know that the mirror was hidden in my room?
.
Xing'er saw that Jia Rui was silent and thought:
Look, the second master himself was scared to death, wasn’t he?
Finally, Xing'er heard Jia Lian come back to his senses and ask:
"Then...what did you do to the old man?"
"What else can I do?
The owner of the pawn shop saw an old man in his seventies, elegant and shivering. He was afraid of scaring him and something happened, so he made an excuse and invited the old man to sit there and drink tea.
The shopkeeper asked someone to deliver a message to our house, but the servant didn't believe it when he heard it, so he immediately took the person there.
I looked through the window and saw that my Grandpa Tian was actually the old man from our school. I didn’t know what to do, so I hurried over to ask for instructions from the second master.”
Jia Lian stepped out and walked out:
"Let's go! Take a look."
Xing'er trotted behind, muttering softly:
"After a while, I arrived at the pawn shop and the second master saw that if the thief was really an old man from the school, the slave's kick would not be in vain. At least he would have to be rewarded with a bunch of money."
Jia Lian didn't even look back:
"If you want money or not, if you have the courage, you can kick me back."
Xing'er pouted and muttered softly:
"My father can't be such a rogue."
Jia Lian heard it but pretended not to hear it.

Shopkeeper Qi of the "Hengshudian" pawnshop is a shrewd man. He started working as an apprentice in the pawnshop at the age of sixteen, and worked all the way to serve in the court and the great court. Until ten years ago, he was favored by Xue Guihe, Xue Biao's father.
, was promoted to the shopkeeper of the "Heng Shudian" pawnshop on Gulou West Street in Beijing.
Now, both Xue Guihe and his brother Xue Guiren have died of illness, each leaving behind a son. Xue Bian is young and shy, and Xue Pan is a "dumb overlord", unable to take care of the business in Beijing. So these years
, Shopkeeper Qi’s life is very comfortable and wealthy. Naturally, there are inevitably some unsightly things in the accounts.
Being beaten several times by Jia Lian in the past few days made shopkeeper Qi wake up in his heart - no matter how bad the Xue family is, there is still a Jia family behind him; no matter how useless Xue Pan is, he can't afford to offend Jia Lian.
There is no news that cannot be spread on the streets.
Who doesn't know that this Second Master Lian led a group of noble men to beat up the young nephew of Prince Zhongshun? Afterwards, no one from the Prince Zhongshun dared to wear wings. It can be seen that this Second Master Lian
His waist is much harder than Xue Pan's.
Therefore, Shopkeeper Qi dare not not pay attention to what Jia Lian ordered.
Not only in his pawn shop, but also in all the pawn guilds, he has entrusted all the shopkeepers, waiting for someone to come to pawn the red gold hairpin.
Coincidentally, this pair of red gold hairpins appeared in his pawn shop today.
Chao Feng took the gold hairpin and quietly and carefully compared the patterns in a large cabinet that was as tall as a person. He confirmed that they were exactly the same. He quickly pretended to have a stomachache and handed the gold hairpin back to the pawn, asking him to wait while he hurriedly
Go to the back to deliver a message to Shopkeeper Qi.
Of course Shopkeeper Qi is happy. He has helped Jia Lian. Even if he hugs Jia Lian in the future, isn’t this a happy event?
But when he saw the person pawning the red gold hairpin, Shopkeeper Qi grinned.
Good guy, this old man in his seventies, who walks tremblingly with dirt up to his neck, is he the "unworthy commoner" who stole things from Jia's family?
That's really ungrateful. He steals things at such an old age, and if Master Lian catches him, how can he be taught a lesson?
Shopkeeper Qi is so smart. He asked someone to rush to Jia's house to deliver the letter, while he himself went up to greet this "old thief ancestor".
As soon as the other party opened his mouth, Shopkeeper Qi felt even more unsure.
This old thief's ancestor said "Zhihu" when he spoke, and "Zheye" when he didn't speak, and added a little "Yiyanzai" in the middle. Shopkeeper Qi half understood what he heard, and his back teeth were so sore that he almost fell down.
This is obviously an old and sour scholar. He can at most "steal books" and also steal hairpins? No one really believes him.
But the problem is that Jia Lian ordered that the person be arrested, and Shopkeeper Qi didn't dare to let him go. But when it came to detaining the person, Shopkeeper Qi didn't have the confidence and really didn't dare.
So shopkeeper Qi rolled his eyes and thought about it, pretending that someone came to pawn the book, but he didn't know the words on the book, "Please ask the old gentleman to read it."
The old and sour scholar had no doubt that he was there, so he agreed immediately.
Shopkeeper Qi ran to the warehouse, rummaged around, and finally found a copybook with yellowed paper.
I held it out on a tray with great respect and pointed it out to the old scholar word by word, asking him to read it over and it would be best to talk about it again.
Seeing that he had almost finished reading half of the book, Chao Feng called shopkeeper Qi to the back and said that Xing'er had seen people coming out of the window, but he had to ask Master Lian for instructions before he dared to take action. He asked shopkeeper Qi to hold him back.
People.
Shopkeeper Qi was so anxious that he was so anxious that he finally had no choice but to grit his teeth and waste some time to drink tea. He also brewed a bowl of the good tea that he had served Jia Lian last time, using the excuse that he was thanking the old scholar.
But even so, when he finished reading the entire copybook and no one came back with interest, the old scholar couldn't bear it anymore and said that his family was urgently waiting for money. If the shopkeeper didn't accept the gold hairpin, he would take it.
Someone else pawned it.
Just when shopkeeper Qi was so anxious that he was scratching the wall, Jia Lian finally appeared.
Unexpectedly, when the old scholar saw Jia Lian coming in, he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground with a "gudong" sound and slapped himself twice with his backhand:
"I deserve to die, I deserve to die... I'm so embarrassed, I have no shame in living..."
