Chapter 193
"Young Master, can you accompany me to Xiangshui Alley later?"

Shen Mingnan straightened up, looked at Chi Hua, and then asked, "Is it just me and you?"

"Uh-huh."

Chi Hua heard it, and looked at Shen Mingnan with disdain, then looked at Zhao Huiwei, and asked aboveboard: "Ah Hui, do you want to go to Xianxian Tower later, Huaiyu will appear on stage today."

Shen Mingnan's knife-like eyes fell on Chi Hua, and Chi Hua smiled at him provocatively.

He turned his head and asked quietly, "Are you going?"

"No, no, I'm not going."

Zhao Huiwei shook her head like a rattle, what a joke, how dare she agree to go to Xianxian Tower with his cannibalistic eyes.

Chi Hua felt a little regretful: "Okay, I will ask you out again in ten days."

As she said that, she stood up: "I'll go first, I have to support Huaiyu."

With a dark face, Shen Mingnan looked at Zhao Huiwei like a warning: "You don't play with Chi Hua in the future, do you hear me?"

"understood……"

She was perfunctory on the surface, and it was impossible not to find Chi Hua.

Shen Mingnan also knew that such a solution would not cure the root cause, so he had to prevent Chi Hua from appearing in front of her eyes.

He stood up and walked out: "Go to Xiangshui Alley."

Zhao Huiwei hurriedly followed behind him.

When Ye Lanzhi paid the bill and came back, he found that everyone had run away, and the only one waiting for him was He You.

He was depressed: "Who are they all? Run away after eating? Don't wait for the young master, there really are them."

He You burped: "Okay, they have something to do, and I'm going back home too, brother farewell."

Seeing that He You had also left, Ye Lanzhi followed him out cursing.

Feng Ming waited beside the carriage. When he heard that they were going to Xiangshui Alley, he knew where they were after thinking for a while.

Xiangshui Alley is relatively remote. In the outer city, ordinary people seldom set foot here, because besides selling antiques, there are pawnshops here.

Shen Mingnan also wondered at the beginning what she was doing here, until at the door of this pawnshop, he saw Shenxing Pawnshop written on it...

He seemed to understand.

The door of the shop was wide open, and when Zhao Huiwei walked in, he saw the familiar old shopkeeper, sitting behind the counter and doing abacus.

It can be regarded as letting her find it!
Elder Zhou didn't raise his head when he heard the voice: "What do you want? Dead or alive?"

"Inappropriate, ransom."

Elder Zhou raised his head and was stunned when he saw the person coming, and then looked at the black robe beside her, his whole expression was a little strange.

Shen Mingnan winked at him, and Zhou Lao coughed lightly before looking at Zhao Huiwei: "What do you want to redeem?"

"Shopkeeper, do you remember that when I was in Xinglin Town, I pawned a piece of mutton jade with you, and I pawned it for 300 taels?"

Mr. Zhou thought about it carefully, and there was indeed such a thing. At that time, he was taken away by Yanyuan before it was warmed up.

He nodded: "Yes, there is such a thing."

Zhao Huiwei's eyes lit up: "I want to redeem the jade now, is it still there?"

"This..." Elder Zhou hesitated, and involuntarily set his gaze on Shen Mingnan.

Seeing him like this, Zhao Huiwei's heart sank: "You won't sell it, will you?"

Elder Zhou nodded: "It was indeed bought by a rich man."

Zhao Huiwei heard the words, pondered for a moment, and continued to ask: "Shopkeeper, where is that young master from?"

"Ah this..."

Mr. Zhou, who is not good at lying, stumbled and said two words: "The capital."

Still in the capital, it's easy to handle.

She continued to ask: "Where is the young master's house?"

After receiving Shen Mingnan's warning gaze, Elder Zhou waved his hand: "Girl, don't ask, people in our business will not reveal the information of customers without authorization, otherwise no one will dare to come to my place to buy things in the future."

Seeing Mr. Zhou's resolute attitude, Zhao Huiwei walked out dejectedly.

Shen Mingnan looked at her: "Why do you have to redeem it after becoming a slave?"

Zhao Huiwei sighed: "When I was a child, I had no other choice." She glanced at Shen Mingnan, she was not too poor at that time, it was fine to be hungry every day, and she had to buy medicine for him to cure him.

It doesn't matter if I don't mention it, now she just wants to know who that young master is.

Thinking about it, she felt unwilling again: "No, I have to ask the rich man's surname again to narrow down the scope."

Shen Mingnan: "..."

When turning around, Shen Mingnan grabbed him, and Zhao Huiwei looked at him curiously.

He coughed lightly: "I will find it, don't worry."

At the end, he added: "I'll help you find it."

"Really?"

"Really." After Shen Mingnan finished speaking, he paused and continued: "It's also true that I said to help you check the ghost sect."

Now that Shen Mingnan said so, Zhao Huiwei felt at ease again, and offered him a trick by the way: "My lord, should we go and bribe the old shopkeeper, so that he will let go for the sake of money?"

Shen Mingnan twitched the corner of his mouth lightly, but she still wanted to bribe Mr. Zhou?
If it really paid off to bribe her, Mr. Zhou might be silenced by those people in the next second.

The two of them returned to Shen's mansion afterwards, and Shen Mingnan remembered his pair of pants as soon as he came back.

After Zhao Huiwei left, he turned the corner and went to the bedroom, Yan Yuan was guarding the door right now.

Shen Mingnan asked: "Is no one going in?"

Yan Yuan shook his head truthfully: "No."

Only then did Shen Mingnan push the door open, and Yan Yuan stretched out his head curiously to take a look, and was almost pinched by the door.

He muttered: "Master, what is this hiding? Is it mysterious?"

When Shen Mingnan found the pair of pants, he felt a little ashamed, and even felt like a beast. He found a brazier and threw the pants into it.

Holding the fire booklet, he started to light the fire in the house, and he was relieved when the fire was gone.

Immediately, he went to the bed, lightly pressed the head of the bed, and a cassette box popped out from under the bed.

He reached out and took out a box, which contained a glazed jade pendant shaped like a gourd, with some cracks on the jade pendant.

Shen Mingnan lowered his eyes, picked it up with his hands and touched it for a while, then put it back into the box again, and took out a mutton jade from his bosom.

It was the engagement token that Zhao Huiwei had pawned.

He took it out to look again, and found that the suet jade was ordinary, the only thing that was unusual was its texture.

Dushan Jade, a specialty of Liangzhou, can be owned by the royal family and rich bureaucrats, but ordinary people cannot buy it at all.

So it can be inferred that the background of Zhao Huiwei's father is definitely an official family...

It's just that Dayan has so many aristocratic families, which one is she the jewel left behind?

Shen Mingnan put the mutton fat jade and his jade pendant side by side, closed the box and stuffed it into the hidden box.

When passing by the brazier, he didn't stop, opened the door and told Yanyuan: "Clean up the inside."

Then he turned the corner and went to the study.

Yan Yuan walked in curiously, there was a smell of burnt silk and satin in the air, and then he looked at the brazier, it was so dark inside that he couldn't see what it was.

He scratched his head: "Why are you so mysterious."

Without researching it, he carried the basin to pour out the ashes.

In the study, Shen Mingnan called Yu Huai in.
