The concubine Jinghua first-class poisonous concubine

Chapter 368 Complete Humiliation
The courtyard of the pawn shop.

A sharp-looking middle-aged man sat at the table, checking the account books for the past six months.

The shopkeeper stood aside quietly, and saw that the man frowned slightly. When the shopkeeper saw it, he pursed his lips and lowered his head a little guilty. He also knew that the business of the pawn shop was not good in the past six months, so he also put The accounts were done as beautifully as possible, just a little fluke, but now, he knew that his boss had seen it.

"Take a look at this month's pawns." Liu Dong's family put the ledger aside, and turned their shrewd eyes to the shopkeeper.

"Yes."

Soon, someone carefully lifted a wooden box up, and Liu Dong's family lifted up the hem of his clothes and stood up, walking slowly to the pile of objects, picking them up one by one.

Watching his movements, the shopkeeper only felt cold sweat gradually seep out of his back.

"A few items were redeemed."

"...Only two." The shopkeeper felt that he was a little unlucky. In the past two or three months, there were many redeemed items, but the owner asked about this month.

Although they always collect these valuable items at low prices, and they can resell them after three months if no one redeems them, but the competition in pawnshops is so fierce nowadays, even if they resell, they may not be able to get a good price. It takes a lot of contacts to make a profit, so the owner pays special attention to whether these recovered items have this value.

The shopkeeper glanced out of the corner of his eye, what a pity, why did the boy bring these things up? !He regretted exchanging seven copper coins for these scrap metals, no matter how he fiddled with them, he couldn't find their usefulness, and he was tricked by that little thief!
Of course he recognized that that person was a gangster in this border town, who would usually pawn in this pawn shop with stolen things that he couldn't get rid of.

"what is this?"

The shopkeeper thumped in his heart, and he had already scolded the boy a thousand times in his heart.

"Master... this is... someone sent the pawn yesterday."

Liu Dong's family only felt a little strange. When he opened it, he picked up one of the dagger-like things and looked at it in front of his eyes in doubt.

It is said to be a dagger, but there are many sharp teeth on it, and it may not be convenient to use it to cut things.There is another thing, similar to the slingshots played by children, but there is no elastic string on it, so it looks like scrap iron no matter how you look at it.

Sure enough, Liu Dong's face changed, and he slowly raised his head to look at the shopkeeper with a gloomy look.

The other party had already smiled weakly with a guilty conscience, and he was afraid that he would be scolded very soon.

At this time, a voice came from outside.

"Boss, Mr. Cao is here."

Liu Dong's slightly changed expression subsided in the blink of an eye, as if nothing had happened.

The simple figure appeared at the door, and Liu Dong's face immediately showed a smile, "Young Master Cao, you really keep your word."

Cao Fang's hands in his sleeves were tightly tugged. After hearing Dong Liu's words, the expression on his face froze for a moment, and then he smiled slightly, "Dong Liu is being polite."

This humble tone is very different from when I met myself before.Liu Dong's family immediately noticed something, his eyes changed immediately, he opened his clothes and sat down, looking at the man in front of him leisurely.

Cao Fang seemed to be much thinner. Although the clothes on his body were flat, it could be seen that they had been worn for a long time and were a little worn.

He looked at the shopkeeper beside him with some embarrassment, and the shopkeeper immediately understood what was going on.

"Boss, if you are not young, you should step down first."

"No, Mr. Cao is one of our own!" Dong Liu's tone was slightly smiling, and Cao Fang's face froze. He could clearly hear the other party's teasing, but it was different now, he was no longer that A craftsman who is highly valued by Emperor Xiao.

Ever since he lost to the arrogant gold medal craftsman in the competition in Chen Country, Xiao Huang resolutely abandoned him in Chen Country alone regardless of his previous contributions. Cao Fang still can't forget this great humiliation.

He didn't remember Xiao Huang's ruthlessness, but he was still dissatisfied with Gu Xunfang in his heart.

He was just a bit unlucky. He believed that the background of their Cao family was definitely not comparable to that of a gold medal craftsman.

But now that he finally returned to Yi Country alone, he was almost exhausted. Just two months ago, he had no choice but to pawn his heirloom jade pendant to Liu Dong's family, and promised that today, two months later, he would be sure. will come to redeem.

but……

The silver in his hand was not half of the pawn at that time.

If losing to Gu Xunfang is the greatest shame in his life, then pawning his heirloom jade pendant is the second greatest shame in his life!How about, he can't be an unfaithful and unfilial person!
Cao Fang took a deep breath, no matter what the result was, he would give it a try.

"Liu Dong's family, Mr. Cao has an unfeeling request, it's really... hard to say."

"If it's hard to say, then there's no need to say it!" Unexpectedly, Liu Dong's family was very straightforward, and the smile on his face was also filled with deep disdain.He waved his hand impatiently and looked at the shopkeeper beside him, "You can send Mr. Cao's jade pendant..."

"Wait a minute!" Cao Fang suddenly raised his voice, and the two people in the room immediately looked at him.

I saw the young man hesitated a bit, then lifted the hem of his clothes and bowed deeply, "Master Liu, although the money on Mr. Cao is not enough to redeem the jade pendant, I would like to ask my master to be more lenient." Today, Cao will definitely be able to collect enough money, so don't resell the jade pendant!"

"Tolerance? Mr. Cao, do you know how much the current interest rate is? Originally, Mr. Liu's price was already lowered because of Mr. Cao's service for Emperor Xiao. Now, Mr. Liu feels that it is inappropriate to be lenient. "Liu Dongjia smiled faintly, his eyes seemed to be watching some kind of joke.

The shopkeeper at the side felt a little sympathetic to Cao Fang. He knew that his boss had committed an old problem again.

What he likes most is to see others humbly begging for himself, and then wantonly trample on the dignity of others.Especially, someone like Cao Fang who was once extremely popular.

There is no shortage of people who make trouble in this world, and Liu Dong's family is one of them.

Cao Fang's face turned pale, "Cao knows that this will embarrass Dong Liu, but as long as he doesn't sell the jade pendant, how much money...Cao will definitely try his best...in two months..."

"Two months later?" Dong Liu's tone was obviously not good, "Old Xu, what are the rules here?"

This question was asked to the shopkeeper next to him, and the shopkeeper bowed his body immediately, "If you go back to the owner's house, once the pawned item is not redeemed within three months, it will be resold immediately, and the one with the best price will get it."

"Have you heard Mr. Cao? It's not that Mr. Liu doesn't sell your face. It's really that the rules can't be broken, otherwise how can I manage this huge pawnshop?" Dong Liu seems to have discovered something new and interesting, just these days, He is also depressed enough.

Why don't you just play around with the celebrity that His Majesty Xiao Huang used to be with.

Besides, this Cao Fang offended him before.

Cao Fang's eyes were a little flustered, he had already seen a servant bring up his heirloom jade pendant, and it fell into Liu Dong's hands to play with.

At this moment, he regretted so much, even if he starved to death, he shouldn't have done this.Now, how could he have the face to meet the ancestors of the Cao family!
Liu Dongjia looked at the person in front of him playfully, feeling extremely happy in his heart.It's just that, at this level, he can't bear it?It seems that he is still too young to know how to endure.Forget it, I've almost teased him enough, it's time to let this proud young man know that this world is not so easy to fool.

"Mr. Cao, although Mr. Liu is not a big shot, this time is extremely precious. If Mr. Cao really valued this jade pendant so much, why did he pawn it in the first place? Why don't we wait for Mr. Liu to resell this jade pendant?" After going out, I will tell Mr. Cao that Mr. Cao can take the silver and go to the owner to redeem it, okay?"

"...This..." Cao Fang was a little anxious, he knew that if the jade pendant was sold, it would definitely not be at this price, and it would be as hard as heaven for him to come back.

Never thought that Cao Fang would have such a day, all thanks to that Gu Xunfang!
"Let's go!" Liu Dong's family snorted softly, then turned to leave.

At this time, a man's urgent voice came from behind.

"East Liu's family!"

"Why?" He frowned displeased, this young man is really annoying enough.

However, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Cao Fang suddenly kneeling down on one knee. He lowered his head deeply, and he could still see his shoulders trembling slightly.

"Cao Mou's life, he only kneels down to his parents and majesty... I implore Shopkeeper Liu to show his noble hand! In just two months, Cao Mou will definitely do everything possible to get the full amount of money!" Cao Fang felt as if there was a huge stone on his heart, Today, he completely trampled his self-esteem under his feet!
"Master..." The shopkeeper was startled, he never thought that Cao Fang would do this for a piece of jade pendant.But, he thought he could impress his boss by doing this?

Sure enough, the smile on Mr. Liu's face deepened, "Mr. Cao why did you give such a big gift? This is really hard for Mr. Liu to bear. Although the man has gold under his knees, it is worthless when he comes to Mr. Liu. Please ask Mr. Cao to go back." Bar!"

What? !Cao Fang raised his eyes in surprise, he never thought that Dong Liu's family would be so unkind!He always knew that the other party wanted to play tricks on him, and he cooperated very well, but he didn't expect...

The hands in the sleeves were tightly clenched, Liu Dongjia looked at him like this, what's wrong?The other party still wants to fight, but there are dozens of strong men guarding this yard. If he dares to move a hair on his own, he must let him come in vertically and go out horizontally!

At this time, Cao Fang's flickering eyes suddenly stopped on an open package, and he frowned, as if he remembered something, but just stared at the package tightly.

"Liu Dong's family, what's in this bag?"

This Cao Fang, what kind of tricks is he playing?

"It's just some broken copper and iron. Why, Mr. Cao is interested?" What he meant by this is that Cao Fang is like this broken copper and iron, and he cherishes the same kind.
