C14 Strange Bracelet

Lu Jinfeng self-deprecated: "Just like you said, my family is so poor that I can't even eat. Where did all these valuable things come from?"

"Then, do you want to stand in front of the store and rob them?" Chen Mu Mu teased.

"That's exactly what I was thinking." Lu Jinfeng said, and swaggered into the pawnshop.

The corners of Chen Mu Mu's lips curled up as he followed Qin Wentian and muttered, "I'd like to see what tricks you have up your sleeve."

She was not worried that Lu Jinfeng would be caught by the soldiers when he entered the room to rob his. With Lu Jinfeng's small and weak body, any man could easily send him flying. However, anyone with a discerning eye would be able to see that Lu Jinfeng was weak and weak. He was aware of this point, he did not have any money on him, so why did he enter the pawnshop?

"Customer, do you want to pawn the goods or redeem them?" When the pawnshop assistant saw that someone had entered, he hurriedly came over to greet them. His original enthusiasm had gone up a little when he saw Lu Jinfeng's plain and patched clothes, and disdain flashed past his eyes, "Guest, everything in this shop is divided into two parts: life and death. Do you want to die or do you want to live?"

His gaze swept over the basket behind him, and the ridicule in his eyes became even more intense. "Where's the item?"

Lu Jinfeng seemed to have experienced too much indifference and rolled his eyes. He disapproved of Yue Yang's harsh attitude and spread out his hands: "Nothing, I'm not here to be a pawn."

"If you don't want anything, why did you come to the pawnshop?" The worker's attitude became more and more unfriendly, "We are not at the Charity Hall, we need to collect money and go somewhere else."

"How can you say that!" Chen Mu raised his eyebrows, but before he could do anything, Lu Jinfeng had already started talking back to him, "Opening the doors to do business, we are all guests, so what if my clothes are shabby? Don't tell me you are only doing business with rich families! Don't forget, this Worryfree Town isn't just a place with wealthy families! "

Opening the doors to do business meant that all the guests would be treated equally and looked down on by the guests. This was equivalent to cutting off one's own business path. Since ancient times, there had always been more poor than the rich.

"Are you here to do business?" "If you're here to do business, of course I'd welcome you. But where is the thing you want to be?"

With just a glance, he was already so poor that there was not a place for him to store anything. To dare say that he was going into the pawnshop to do business, that was simply laughable.

"Who said I want to be something?" Lu Jinfeng put down the basket, and glanced at the shopkeeper who was pretending to be dead at the counter, "Shopkeeper, this quality of yours isn't good, if you want to pick a guy's looks, then forget about it.

"How could the royalty come to our village?" The shop assistant sneered, his gaze swept across his clothes in disdain, "Rich people are all arrogant, how can they wear clothes like you?"

"Shut up!" The shopkeeper who was called out finally raised his eyes, and after looking at Lu Jinfeng for half a second, he walked out with a smile on his face, "This customer, the shop assistant here doesn't recognize Mt. Tai with her eyes. Don't bother with him, I will definitely punish him when we get back."

The shopkeeper's polite attitude slightly startled Lu Jinfeng, and he quickly reacted and nodded: "storekeeper is indeed sensible, no wonder he could be placed in the storekeeper's position."

The corners of Chen Mu Mu's lips curled up in a smile.

This Lu Jinfeng did not only know how to gobble people up, he also had a fast reaction speed. After his face became normal, he would use this pretty boy to trick people.

The shopkeeper naturally had more experience than the shopkeeper, so the shopkeeper could judge people by their clothes, and the shopkeeper could observe them by their temperament and manners-- After all, what real poor family could have such a delicate and white face like Lu Jinfeng?

Moreover, the shop assistant had already made the first attempt. If it was a true poor person, where would he have the confidence to confront the shop assistant?

The shopkeeper slightly smiled and politely asked, "I am not here to buy things, but what kind of things do you want to buy?"

The poor were the ones who bought the goods from the pawnshop, but only the rich were the ones who bought from the pawnshop.

Being misunderstood by the shopkeeper, Lu Jinfeng did not bother to explain and went along with his words and asked: "Five days ago, Widow Li from Xingyu Village came to your place to be your ancestral wooden bracelet, are you still there?"

"He's still here. The widow said that he was dead, but there aren't many people like you that can recognize this kind of thing." The shopkeeper turned around and walked into the room. Then, he brought out a box.

Chen Mu Mu Mu glanced at it, it was a pure and plain bracelet, not gold nor silver, it was carved from an unknown tree, the style was simple and generous, only a few unknown patterns and symbols could be seen on it, at first glance, there was nothing special about it, it was near, but the smell was light like the aroma of tea.

A bracelet that emitted fragrance was also very special. No wonder it could be sold for such a high price.

When Lu Jinfeng saw the bracelet, his eyes lit up. He took the bracelet and looked it over, left and right, then placed it back inside the box.

"How much is it?"

"Thirty taels of silver." The shopkeeper had been observing his expression the entire time, so when he heard this, he replied with a smile.

"Thirty silver taels?" Lu Jinfeng was shocked, his expression filled with disbelief, "It is said that when the person with the bracelet was given three taels of silver, they gave you ten times the price, is your conscience okay?"

"What is important in this business is the quality of your love, your desire, and your goods. Guest, look carefully. Although this bracelet is neither gold nor silver, it is made of strange wood and has a faint fragrance. "It wouldn't be too much to say that this is the only thing in the world. It's already very fair for me to only accept twenty silver coins." The shopkeeper didn't know that Lu Jinfeng was the son of the Apricot Rain Village's widow Li, and was still praising the character of the bracelet.

Hearing that, Lu Jinfeng's face became even uglier.

If the bracelet was so good that the Madam Lee took it as an emergency and the shopkeeper only gave him three taels of silver, wouldn't that be the black-hearted merchant?

He could not help but retort, "Shopkeeper, at such a price, you are simply lying. Aren't you afraid that Widow Li will settle the score with you?"

"I'm afraid of a widow!" The shopkeeper sneered, "When I first saw this bracelet, it was written in black and white. I was willing to accept it, so where did this fraud come from?" "The deal wasn't fair in the first place. She sold my bracelet for three taels of silver. How much I could sell it for was all my own ability. Even if it's the government, I still have my reasons!"

The more the shopkeeper spoke, the more confident he became. Seeing Lu Jinfeng's darkening face, he suddenly felt that something was wrong and closed the box. He snorted, "Customer, are you going to buy it or not?

Lu Jinfeng immediately laughed, and looked at him with a strange expression: "Do you think that my current appearance is like a rich person who can afford to pay thirty silver?"

When he said this, the shopkeeper's eyes suddenly narrowed, "So you're saying that what you just said was to trick this old man. You can't afford this bracelet?"

"Yeah." Lu Jinfeng replied frankly, he did not feel that anything was amiss.

"Pauper, I'm tired of you!" The shopkeeper slammed the box on the counter and shouted angrily, "Seventh Prince Wang, grab this brat who doesn't know what's good for you and kick him out of the room!"

"Yes sir!" The shopkeeper's voice came out, and immediately, two ferocious men came out of the shop, holding sticks in their hands as they walked towards Lu Jinfeng.

"What are you still looking at? Run!" Lu Jinfeng's hands were quick, he grabbed the basket on the ground, grabbed Chen Mu's hand and ran out of the pawnshop.

His reaction was too fast, and the pawnbroker was startled and ran out of the door. He could only turn his head and ask: "Shopkeeper, are you still holding onto this person?"

"This little bastard, consider it his fate!" The manager stared at the two people who ran off and gnashed his teeth. "All of you take it easy. If you see them again, just give them a beating!" This old man has never been humiliated like this in his entire life! "

As he spoke, he grabbed the box on the counter and was about to walk into the room, but before he could even take a step forward, he was stopped by a crisp voice.

"Manager, please wait. I want the box in your hands."

The shopkeeper turned his head in surprise. He saw a beautiful young girl in pink clothes walk in with the support of a servant girl, and she pointed at the box in his hand as she spoke.

"This box?" Since the young girl had just entered the store, the manager considered for a moment before reminding her with good intentions, "Does Miss know what's inside …"

"Ginkgo, give him thirty silver." The young girl did not say much as she instructed the servant girl beside her.

The maidservant took out thirty taels of silver from her money pouch and placed it on the counter. She then stretched out her hands and said, "Give me the box."

The shopkeeper was a bit confused. His eyes darted around as he grabbed the box in his hand. "Miss, do you want the box or the bracelet?"

"What's the difference?" The maidservant sneered at him, "We heard the conversation earlier. Let alone 30 taels, even 5 taels of silver isn't worth it." "Don't try to get away with it, you're trying to raise the price, I'm not someone you can fool so easily."

"So it's Miss Shangguan." The shopkeeper's expression changed instantly as he hurriedly handed the box over. "I didn't know that Miss would arrive, and was unwelcome. I hope Miss can forgive me."

The young girl in pink ignored him, took the box, and led the servant girl out the door.

"Shopkeeper, could it be that the bracelet is really a treasure?" The shop assistant who had previously lost his sight came over, "If we sell it at 30 taels of silver, won't we lose out?"

"This price is worth it." The shopkeeper thoughtfully looked outside the door, weighed the silver in his hand, and smacked the shop assistant on the head, "Remember, we are only people who do business. Apart from the goods, we do not need to care about anything else."

Even the Shangguan Family was alarmed? A trace of worry flashed through the manager's eyes.

Chen Mu Mu was pulled out of the pawnshop by Lu Jinfeng, and the two ran for a while, until they could no longer see the pawnshop's signboard. Looking at Lu Jinfeng's black stinky face, he could not help but say with a smile: "Didn't you go and act cool, and didn't you?

"Without money, I can only enjoy myself." Lu Jinfeng was also honest, he did not hide his guilt, and shot her a glance: "This bracelet was sold because of you, although I do not want you to return it, but can you not show me a look of schadenfreude?"

"Or do you want me to cry?" Chen Mu Mu Mu asked. Thinking back to the bracelet, a strange smile appeared on his face. "But don't worry, there will be someone crying."
