Farewell Mr. Xing with all my thanks.

Xing Xiuyan hurriedly returned home with Siqi, showed the dowry to her parents, and repeated Xing's words.

How could Xing Zhong and his wife expect such a turn of events?

Originally, she hated Mrs. Xing to the core, but now she held this sister in high esteem.

Xing Zhong was so happy that he hurriedly wanted to pawn the things so that he could return the money to Jiao Shun as soon as possible.

Xing Xiuyan was afraid that her father would make mistakes again, so she volunteered to follow him.

So the family of three, together with Siqi, hurried out of the house and rushed to Dongshi - there was a pawnshop in Fenggong City, but Xing Xiuyan was worried that if the news spread, it would implicate the Xing family, so he strongly advocated finding a pawn shop.

Sold far away.

The whole journey was silent.

When he found a large-scale pawn shop, Xing Zhong displayed the exquisite jewelry arrogantly, and was immediately invited by the shopkeeper to the back room for a detailed discussion.

The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man in his forties. He carefully picked up the jewelry with bamboo tweezers, inspected it carefully for a long time with his monocle, and said in a loud voice: "Good material, such exquisite workmanship, like this

There are only a few or five companies in the capital that can make this style."

After hearing this criticism, Xing Zhong became more confident. He thought to himself, not only could he pay off the shortfall, but he might still have some money left, which he could use to smoothen the relationship. Naturally, the second person would be able to move into the house.

Still your own.

Just as he was thinking about beauty, Xing's wife couldn't help but asked: "Shopkeeper, you don't know how much these things are worth?"

The shopkeeper smiled slightly, raised his hand and raised two fingers.

"Two, two thousand taels?!"

Xing Zhong was breathing heavily for a moment. If he could exchange two thousand taels of silver, wouldn't he lose 700 taels, which is more than all his previous possessions!

Mrs.

Xing Xiuyan breathed a sigh of relief, but in his heart he felt even more grateful for his aunt's kindness.

Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper shook his head and spit out four words: "It's two hundred taels."

"Two hundred, two hundred taels?!"

Xing Zhongru was struck by lightning. He first lay down on the chair, then jumped up and shouted with a red face: "Are you a black shop?! This set of jewelry cost a small three thousand taels of silver, so it is not worth two thousand taels. One

There is always one thousand five hundred taels!"

The shopkeeper laughed and said: "If it is really something worthy of your respect, one thousand five hundred taels is not expensive at all - but this was clearly ordered by Mrs. Gaoming, and it is stamped with Rongguo Mansion's stamp on it!"

As he spoke, he tapped the jewelry box with his finger and joked: "The origin of this thing is probably... haha."

Only then did Xing Zhong realize that he actually thought of himself as a thief!

He was so angry that he stood up and drank: "What nonsense are you talking about? These things are pure and pure. They are my sister..."

"father!"

When Xing Xiuyan saw that Xing Zhong was about to tell the truth, she hurriedly stopped him.

However, this scene fell into the eyes of the shopkeeper, which gave him more confidence. He sneered and said: "Otherwise, I will have someone take this thing and go to Rongguo Mansion with the girl to ask if it is indeed Qingqing."

Bai Bai, I will decide and give you one thousand five hundred taels!"

When Xing Zhong heard this, he hesitated and almost agreed.

But Xing Xiuyan knew that this was absolutely impossible, so he hurriedly reminded him: "If I really go and ask, my aunt may not dare to admit it, and then there will be another robbery case."

Xing Zhong immediately collapsed.

If my sister dared to openly disobey Jia She, she should have accepted the money yesterday, how could the trouble have reached this level now?

When the shopkeeper saw this, he sneered again: "Since our store has taken risks, we naturally have to discount the price."

When Xing Zhong heard this, he rolled up the jewelry angrily and gritted his teeth and said, "I don't believe it's like this elsewhere!"

The shopkeeper didn't care, and sat still as steady as a rock: "This is the price for you to travel all over the capital - not to mention that if our boss didn't have some background, he might not even dare to ask for this thing. If he encounters a sinister heart,

Yes, I'm afraid if I rob you of this thing, you won't have anywhere to complain!"

After hearing this, Xing Zhong stopped for a moment, and then his figure was on the verge of falling.

Xing's wife couldn't help but burst into tears on the spot.

Xing Xiuyan felt quite cold, but she endured the pain and helped her parents out of the pawn shop with Siqi one by one.

The four people came to the street, confused and confused.

Thanks to the presence of Siqi, we were able to safely take them back home.

Seeing that the whole family was ashen-faced, Si Qi wanted to say a few words of comfort, but he couldn't think of any good ideas at the moment, so he could only say, "There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain" and "A living person will not be choked to death by a bird."

Such nonsense.

Xing Xiuyan was stronger than her parents after all, and she wiped away her tears reluctantly and said: "But my sister has been harmed by following us - it's getting late today, please let me go home and let you know, and tell me... Oh, let's wait until tomorrow."

.”

Although Si Qi is worried, staying here will not help the situation, not to mention that he should go back home to inform him.

So he helped me buy some food, and then returned to Rongguo Mansion alone.

I had just finished reporting in Ermenluding, and I bumped into my aunt Yang just a few steps out.

"I'm looking for a girl!"

Yang pulled Siqi into a corner and asked with a worried look: "I heard that you have been with Miss Xing recently? Did she also keep the body contract?"

Seeing Si Qi nodding in agreement, she stamped her feet anxiously: "What do you mean? Now that the Xing family is in great danger, we can't let her get us in trouble. I'll go back and tell your mother and your uncle to let them think of a solution.

Transfer you back to the second girl!"

Si Qi hurriedly stopped her and said with a forced smile: "Auntie is worrying too much, and it may not affect me."

"You kid, it will be too late by then!"

Yang was frightened and coaxed, but Siqi was stubborn and had always been upright, so he was unwilling to change his family at this time.

"Come on, I know you are a person who values ​​love and justice, and you are not willing to let go of Miss Xing at this time." Then Yang changed the topic: "Actually, let me tell you, this matter is said to be difficult to handle, but it is said to be easy to handle.

It’s easy to handle.”

Siqi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he hurriedly held his aunt's arm and said anxiously: "Auntie, can you help her? Hurry, tell me!"

"Now you know me, okay?"

Yang gave Qiao a few words and then said: "Isn't this Miss Xing coming to Beijing just to get married? With her figure and appearance, and her back to the Rongguo Mansion, she can find a random rich man to marry outside. How much money can she ask for?

Don’t you have everything with these betrothal gifts?”

After hearing this idea, Si Qi's face immediately fell. He threw Yang away angrily and said coldly: "Anyone who is willing to come to ask for a wife at this time must be a follower of Xiuyan. Most of them have requests from Rongguo Mansion. In the future, they can

If you get what you want, it's just repayment. If things don't work out, wouldn't it be the same as pushing Miss Xing into a pit of fire?"

"Ouch!"

Ms. Yang waved her hand and said, "As the old saying goes, 'If you only care about your head, you can't take care of your buttocks.' Besides, if her family doesn't take care of the immediate matter, what will happen in the future?"

Si Qi still shook his head.

Yang simply said angrily: "How about we use Miss Xing to pay off the debt? Uncle Jiao doesn't ask the eldest lady for anything, but the eldest lady asks for him, so there is no need to worry about him falling out in the future!"

Si Qi still shook his head: "Then Jiao Shun only wants to marry a rich lady, so he might not be willing to marry Miss Xing..."

"Marry her? What are you thinking!"

Yang sneered: "If the second girl is used to pay off the debt, it would be fine to be the main wife. For Miss Xing, naturally she can only be a junior!"

As he said that, he raised his little finger painted with cardamom and waved it in front of Siqi.

Si Qi's face darkened: "You want Miss Xing to be Jiao Shun's concubine?!"

"I just said it casually."

Yang said nonchalantly: "You can't be left or right, but you can only... By the way, if Miss Xing really wants to be a concubine, you have to get out as soon as possible, otherwise you can only be a dowry maid.

Already."

This last sentence really makes Siqi feel like "there is no way out, but there is no way out, but there is a village with dark flowers and dark flowers."

She had given up all her thoughts and planned to live alone for the rest of her life, but by some strange combination of circumstances, she ended up on the old path of marrying a maid again.
