After all, this thing is not her own, and she will definitely not be able to redeem it in the future, and the person next to her probably won't care about missing such a gem.
But she said it with such certainty, and when the shop assistant heard it, she became more and more certain that this thing was black goods that could not be spread into the world.
So the shop assistant compared the numbers and said, "This gemstone is of good quality. If you are a deadbeat, I'll give you two taels of silver."
Song Chuchu actually didn't have much idea about the ancient silver currency conversion, but she thought, didn't the woman just want to exchange two taels of silver and didn't change it? It would be fine if I could exchange this gem for two taels.
She was about to say yes!
Zhao Yanzhen didn't expect it, but he directly grabbed the ruby and said, "This price is too low."
Song Chuchu naturally believed in Zhao Yanzhen's words more than the waiter in the shop.
The waiter in the shop saw that the treasure he had received was about to fly away. How could he be willing to accept it at that moment? He gritted his teeth and said, "The price is negotiable. Just wait."
After the store clerk finished speaking, he went to the back room and asked the more knowledgeable shopkeeper to come out.
The shopkeeper looked at the two men and women dressed as beggars and didn't care at first. It wasn't until the female beggar took out a ruby that his face suddenly changed.
He just quickly asked the clerk to bring out his diorama, and then he used the diorama to carefully observe the color of the gem.
The gems are obviously embedded in some kind of utensil, and the person who can afford to use such gems for inlay must be a noble family, and I'm afraid they are not just ordinary aristocrats.
However, they are not worried that this thing will bring them trouble. After all, people who can afford these things will probably not care if they lose an item. What's more, since they dare to do this business, it must be Those who have the ability and the means to do this business.
The shopkeeper had already heard the price offered by the shop clerk. He whispered, "The items are indeed good, but it is a bit troublesome to change hands."
Then the shopkeeper lowered his voice and said, "How about this? How about I give the girl twenty taels of silver?"
Twenty taels? The price sounds like a lot.
Song Chuchu was moved, but she didn't expect that the price could fetch so much.
Of course, she didn't expect that this was just a ruby. If the entire dagger was brought over, she wouldn't be able to use it.
However, her heart was racing, so she turned to look at Zhao Yanzhen. After all, this amnesiac seemed to understand the rules of the world better than she did.
The store owner also figured it out, and it was the man who came with her who had the final say. Although this man was dressed in burlap, his appearance and figure showed an aura that was not ordinary.
two! "Although Zhao Yanzhen thinks that the price of this ruby is far more than this, a border town like this cannot afford such a high price.
And carrying treasures will inevitably lead to trouble.
It's just that he didn't know that Song Chuchu wanted to be Ruby.
Now that he knew it, he naturally told the shopkeeper a price that was acceptable.
The shopkeeper listened and looked embarrassed, but the price was not unacceptable. After all, if the ruby was sold, it would cost far more than this price.
In the end, he could only sigh and said, "Okay! You."
Then the store owner took the initiative to write a pawn ticket and asked his apprentice to wrap the money for the other party.
While handing over the money, the shopkeeper happened to see a piece of green jade Buddha hanging around the young man's neck. The jade Buddha seemed to be in good condition.
Therefore, when he handed over the pawn ticket, he just pointed at the jade Buddha on the young man's neck and said, "Sir, I would like to ask, do you want to sell this jade Buddha? If so, I will give it to you."
As soon as the shopkeeper said these words, the people in the back couldn't help but take a breath.
Only then did Zhao Yanzhen realize that the piece of sapphire Buddha originally worn under his personal clothes had been exposed at some point.
He glanced at the Jade Buddha, and then refused without thinking, "I won't sell it."
At the same time, he just put the jade Buddha away properly.
It's not that he thinks the Jade Buddha itself is expensive, he just thinks that the Jade Buddha seems to remind him of some broken fragments.
In that clip, he clearly remembered that the Jade Buddha seemed to have been put on by a woman herself. He said that he hoped that he would
Return safely.
Although he could no longer remember the appearance of the woman, he had no idea who she was.
But he thought that the relationship between the other party and himself must be unusual.
Otherwise, why would she come here in the middle of the night to give herself this jade Buddha.
Thinking of that woman, Zhao Yanzhen felt a warm current surge through his heart.
It can be seen that Zhao Yanzhen is very concerned about this jade pendant.
Song Chuchu was secretly glad that when she saw the jade Buddha last night, she didn't get greedy and took it away directly.
If not, when he thinks about it in the future, he may be guilty of yet another sin. .
And the shopkeeper didn't force it.
In addition, this young master does not look like an ordinary person. I think he may have fallen into trouble because of his family, or he may have done it intentionally.
Naturally, the shopkeeper didn't want to cause more trouble, so he just sent the two people out with kind words.
Afterwards, he warned them before the two left, "Young master, you need to be careful on the road. There are a lot of thieves here. You must remember not to expose your property easily."
Zhao Yanzhen just nodded lightly and left.
When the shopkeeper returned to the store, the shop assistant who was busy in the front just asked the shopkeeper in confusion: "Shopkeeper, those two people are dressed like they are begging for flowers, and those things don't look like they came from the right place. What's wrong with you?" So polite to these two beauties."
When the shopkeeper heard this, he glanced at the waiter lightly and said, "Don't just look at people's clothes when looking at people. The gentleman who was traveling with him had a magnanimity that even our county magistrate did not have. One look at that magnanimity It’s just stuff that comes from being pampered.”
"The most important thing is that the ruby is a treasure specially provided by the imperial merchants. The only people who can afford it are the nobles in the capital, except for the few young masters of the Chen family who guard Yunzhou. Who dares to steal things from the Chen family? How can the things belonging to those noble people in the capital be easily transferred to us?"
After hearing the shopkeeper's analysis, the shop assistant didn't take it seriously, but he still complimented the shopkeeper and said, "The shopkeeper still has a bright eye."
The shopkeeper just said meaningfully to the store clerk, "Okay, stop patting horses on me and work hard. You still have a lot to learn in the future."
Just as the two were about to think about their respective jobs, a young man dressed in black and looking like a member of the political world and an official stepped into the pawn shop with a long sword in his hand.
He only asked the crowd queuing here, "Have you seen a young man who is tall and has outstanding appearance?"
Before everyone had time to match the young man's description with that of Zhao Yanzhen, who had just left.
The two people who were originally discussing Zhao Yanzhen immediately looked at each other with understanding.
The shopkeeper stepped forward, smiled and cupped his hands and said, "This knight doesn't know who you are looking for?"
The young man in black only said softly, "My young master got separated from us. Now we are sending people to search everywhere."
Hearing this, the disapproving waiter couldn't help but take a really high look at his shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper smiled slightly and said, "There was a young man passing by me just now. His appearance looked like what a knight described."
Upon hearing this, the man in black immediately asked, "I wonder where that person went?"
The shopkeeper pointed to the rice market to the east, "I saw that the young man seemed to be going to the rice market. By the way, there was a woman accompanying him."
Although the man in black couldn't remember when his master had been close to a woman.
But he didn't dare to miss a clue.
So he just bowed deeply to the store owner, then turned around and chased after the rice market.
Besides, after Zhao Yanzhen and the two came out of the pawn shop, Song Chuchu decided to go to the nearby rice shop to buy some rice.
The thing that she didn't care about the most in the past has now become the thing she cares about most after experiencing the taste of hunger.
After purchasing some daily necessities, she pulled Zhao Yanzhen towards the clothing store.
Although today is not a day to go to the market, there are still quite a lot of people coming and going in the town. Although there is no rubbing shoulders, it is still bustling.
Although Song Chuchu suddenly got a huge sum of money, she didn't dare to buy too good clothes when she went to the clothing store. After all, she was a gangster now, and Zhao Yanzhen was also a gangster.
Their identities are not compatible either.
They are high-profile and dress too ostentatiously. Doesn't that mean to some people that they have money and can come quickly?
While Song Chuchu was busy making purchases, Zhao Yanzhen was also looking around the street, trying to see something familiar to him.
It's a pity that wherever he looked, let alone a sense of familiarity, he just felt like he was in another world when he looked at this street.
Finally, after they bought a few pieces of winter clothes worn by ordinary people, Song Chuchu, who was carrying large and small bags, and Zhao Yanzhen, who was also carrying a bunch of things, were ready to leave the town.
With so many things on her, Song Chuchu wanted to hire an ox cart.
She just didn't expect that when she was about to hire a bullock cart, she just realized that the more than forty taels of silver she had left on her body was actually missing.
The streets were bustling with people.
Even though she was dissatisfied and tried to find out the thief, she couldn't tell who the thief was wherever she looked.
Song Chuchu's nose was so angry that she suddenly lost her money.
That's more than forty taels. I don’t know how many supplies are enough to buy.
Zhao Yanzhen naturally noticed something strange about her, and he asked, "What's wrong?"
"The money was stolen!" Song Chuchu almost cried.
If their money is stolen, it is really stolen.
Because they are undercover, they cannot even report to the official at the moment.
She originally planned to exchange some money to go to the government to solve her household registration problem after a while. But now that her money was suddenly stolen, she felt heartbroken.
Zhao Yanzhen was naturally regretful that the money was missing, but compared to Song Chuchu, his attitude was much calmer.
"If it's gone, it's gone. If the money is gone, you can still make it again." He rarely comforted Song Chuchu softly, but what he said clearly sounded like a young master who didn't know the hardships of the world.
