Chapter 63

After reporting the name, Qiao Wei went to the ingenious iron shop in Changqing street.

Tiepu is located at the corner of the street. The location is relatively remote. You can hear the sound of blacksmiths beating iron from a long distance. Several shirtless men at the door are carrying the new goods and loading them on the cart by basket. It seems that business is good.

Qiao Wei took the children into the iron shop and looked at a middle-aged man who was bending his head and playing with an abacus. She said, "shopkeeper, I'm looking for Luo Yongnian."

The middle-aged man didn't even look at Qiao Wei, so he yelled: "Xiao Luo Zi! Someone is looking for you

"Coming! Who is it? "

Luo Yongnian came from the back hall in a sweat. He was also barearmed, his face was dirty, his hands were black, and he was holding a half burnt piece of red iron. When he saw Qiao Wei, he was stunned, "elder sister? It's you! What are you doing here? " At this time, another apprentice passed by him. He handed the iron bar to him and said, "come on, help me. My sister is here."

The man took it readily.

Luo Yongnian walked forward with a smile: "elder sister!"

"Little uncle." Jing Yun and Wang Shu call people obediently.

Ah Sheng also called: "brother Yongnian."

Luo Yongnian smiles happily: "really good!"

Qiao Wei almost lost her eyes when she saw his sweat, so she quickly took out her handkerchief and wiped it for him: "some of them took part in the child prodigy test. I signed them up and came to see you by the way. I didn't expect you to work so hard."

Luo Yongnian has been an apprentice for two years. It's the first time that his family came to see him. I don't know how excited he was: "elder sister, wait for me for a while, I'll tell the master! I'll show you around the capital! "

Qiao Wei's eyes swept: "where do you live?"

Luo Yongnian takes Qiao Wei to his residence. They are all apprentices in a room with more than a dozen people. He is lucky that a senior brother quit his job years ago. He took the post of senior brother and moved to live with the other three senior brothers. It's rare to be clean. That is to say,

looking at the messy room, Luo Yongnian scratched his head in embarrassment.

Qiao Wei had expected that this would be the case. She took out the clean sheets and quilt covers that Mrs. Luo had given her before she left and put them on for Luo Yongnian. She took the wet mattress to the hospital to dry well, and took the dirty clothes and shoes, sheets and quilt covers to the well to clean them. After that, she took out her sewing bag and mended the broken place. I swept the room and the outside again, and wiped all the tables and chairs.

A small doghouse was cleaned up like this!

Qiao Wei took out two jars from her bag: "I pickled the pickles myself. It's very good. This jar is stewed beef. You can't keep it for a long time. You can share it with your senior brothers today. "

Luo Yongnian hugged the jar and sat on the bed, with some fever in his eyes.

No one has been so nice to him since he was a kid.

When he was fighting, his parents couldn't control him and sent him here. They never asked him whether he was happy or not, and they didn't worry about his bad life, as if he should bear hardships.

He also knows that he should, but in his heart, he also wants to be hurt.

Qiao Wei looked at his suddenly depressed mood and patted him on the shoulder: "what's the matter? I'm so good to you that I'm moved to cry? "

"I didn't!" Luo Yongnian said.

Qiao Wei tied up the burden: "OK, it's not for nothing. I have something to ask you for help." Said, let a Sheng with Jing yunwangshu to play in the yard, he carefully took out two gold leaves from the purse, "do you know where there is a pawnshop? I want to pawn them. "

Looking at the gold leaf's workmanship and patterns, Luo Yongnian asked doubtfully, "where did such a good thing come from?"

Some things, know too much is not good, Qiaowei said: "I picked it up, do you think it can be?"

Luo Yongnian thought: "it should be possible. There is a pawnshop near here. I'll take you there."

"Wait a minute." Qiaowei stopped him, "you help me dissolve it first, in case The owner of the house has reported it to the government. I will be arrested if I take it as a pawn. "

Luo Yongnian thought: "I happen to have a die lock here, or I'll make a gold lock for you?"

"Good!"

In the afternoon, Luo Yongnian casts Qiaowei's gold leaf into a small gold lock. He wants to accompany Qiaowei to the pawnshop, but Qiaowei refuses. He is not afraid of ten thousand. He is afraid of just in case. In any case, he is going to be "stolen goods". She dare not let him and the children take risks with her.

Moreover, she has a private matter, which is inconvenient to solve in front of the children.

Qiao Wei came to the pawnshop that Luo Yongnian said, and lied that the golden lock was her own heirloom. When her business failed, the creditors forced her to pawn it, and there was no way to pawn it.

After checking the gold lock, the boss looked her up and down and said, "twenty taels of silver."

Qiao Wei frowned: "what? Only 20 liang? It's gold for me

One or two pieces of gold in this dynasty is about ten taels of silver. Her gold lock weighs three taels, and the total price is about thirty taels. The pawnshop eats one third of her in one bite. It's too dark!

The boss is impatient: "on this price, you when improper?"

"Twenty five."

"I can't do it."Qiao Wei's eyes flickered: "you haven't opened your shop for a day, but you don't do business when it comes to you. It's not for making money, is it? Why is that? It's not money laundering, is it? What's behind you? "

The boss's eyelids jumped: "girl, don't talk nonsense!"

Qiao Wei knocked on the counter: "twenty five Liang, not right?"

The corner of the boss's mouth gave a few severe blows You wait. "

Qiaowei originally just deceived him, did not expect that he was really obedient, Qiaowei just don't care whether he is doing business or hiding, anyway can get money.

Just when the boss ordered some silver and wanted to settle with Qiao Wei, a plain hand came over from the side and gently pressed the box: "I'll take this gold lock. The price is whatever you want."

Qiao Wei hears the familiar voice, frowns slightly, turns around, and sees Qiao Yuxi in a white dress standing gracefully in front of her, with an innate sense of superiority.

I can't tell why. Every time I see her, Qiao Wei feels uncomfortable!

In fact, she didn't do anything hurtful to herself, but Qiao Wei just didn't like her. She hated her more than Wu Dajin!

Qiao Yuxi was afraid that the elder sister who suddenly appeared in the capital would rob her marriage. She wanted to please the people around Mingxiu more and more. The old lady seemed to have been in her camp, but she still didn't get any oil and salt, which was a headache to her.

At present, it's not easy to meet 17 friends. She said that she should get rid of the past and repair the relationship with each other.

"Madam, I like this gold lock very much. Why don't you give it up and sell it to me?" She kept her posture very low, as if she had forgotten the unhappiness between herself and Qiao Wei.

Qiao Wei is convinced of her cheekiness.

Qiao Wei flicked her hand on the box with a smile: "Miss Qiao is famous. How can this kind of rough thing get into the eyes of the noble family? What do you want to do, let's just say it? "

Qiao Yuxi gathered up Jinsi Zeyun's wide sleeves, swept each other's coarse linen clothes quietly, and said: "you are a cool person, so I won't beat around the bush with you. Since the misunderstanding last time, seventeen is not very close to me. You are seventeen's friend. I hope you can come forward to clarify the misunderstanding for me. "

She said, raising her hand.

Xingzhu came forward with a brocade box.

Qiao Wei opened a look, good fellow, unexpectedly is full of a box of gold!
