Daughter Reborn as the Head of the Family

Chapter 36 Pawn

"Second Miss, Madam gave the old slave to the Second Miss. The old slave's future master will be the Second Miss. The old slave only needs to do his own thing and take good care of the Second Miss..."

Aunt Yuan paused, then continued: "As for what the second young lady wants to do, I have no right to ask."

Grandma Yuan replied that she was extremely satisfied.

Song Jinyue took off a white jade bracelet from her wrist, took Nanny Yuan's hand, and gave the jade bracelet to Nanny Yuan.

"Second Miss, this old slave is old. It would be a waste to use this high-quality jade bracelet on me. Second Miss, I understand your thoughts. Please rest assured, Second Miss. In the future, I will be your life and death."

The second lady’s person.”,

Grandma Yuan did not take the jade bracelet away, but carefully took it in her hand and put it back on Song Jinyue herself.

After several refusals, Song Jinyue stopped insisting and thought that when Grandma Yuan gets old in the future, she would personally take care of Grandma Yuan until she dies.

It was still late, so Song Jinyue and Qiu Yun hurried out of the Zhang Mansion.

Tell Aunt Yuan that if her aunt asks about it, just tell her that she will go for a walk on the street and will be back within an hour.

Grandma Yuan said "yes" and didn't ask any more questions.

He only asked the second young lady to take the carriage from Shangzhang Mansion. Due to the epidemic in recent years, there were many people on the street and the young ladies always brought more escorts than usual when they went out.

Song Jinyue did not refuse, and followed Grandma Yuan's instructions and got on Zhang's carriage.

After getting on the carriage, we headed straight to the east city.

Dongcheng is the most prosperous and affluent place in the capital. The most famous restaurants, teahouses, and jewelry shops are all century-old brands with good reputations in the capital.

There is only one pawn shop, called "Yong'an Pawn Shop". The items in the pawn shop range from jewelry to weapons.

The carriage of the Zhang Mansion is extremely simple. A flag unique to General Zhang's Mansion hangs on the top of the carriage to prove his identity, and the carriage is no different from the carriages used by ordinary people nearby.

Renters throughout the generations have not been extravagant people, and most of the descendants are down-to-earth and do their jobs diligently.

The carriage stopped in front of Yong'an Pawn Shop. When the boy saw that it was the carriage from General Zhang's Mansion, he immediately turned around and reported back to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper of Yong'an Pawnshop came to the door to greet him personally.

Qiu Yun lifted the curtain and was helping her young lady get out of the carriage.

The shopkeeper looked at the pretty figure in light blue and seemed to have a gentle temperament.

This girl is extremely faceless.

There is only one young lady in the Zhang family, and he heard that he left the capital a few days ago and has not returned yet.

So who is this girl?

"I wonder who the lady is?" The shopkeeper, dressed in silver-gray brocade attire, was standing in front of the Yong'an Pawn Shop and asked with great respect.

Qiu Yun replied: "My young lady is the second young lady of the Duke of Song Dynasty."

"Oh, Second Miss Song, please come in." Only then did the shopkeeper realize that the person who came was actually the only niece of General Zhang's Mansion and the second daughter who was a direct descendant of Duke Song's Mansion.

Song Jinyue raised her head slightly.

The shopkeeper personally welcomed the person to a private room in the pawn shop, and ordered the boy to make a pot of fine tea.

The shopkeeper's surname is Li. This Yong'an Pawn Shop is the legacy of our ancestors. Now it has been passed down to shopkeeper Li, who is now the third shopkeeper.

In the private room in the backyard of Yong'an Pawn Shop, the black-lacquered tables and chairs are all made of fine nanmu. On weekdays, whenever a distinguished person from the capital comes, Shopkeeper Li will welcome the distinguished guest to the private room.

Shopkeeper Li invited Miss Song to sit down and then asked: "I wonder if Miss Song is coming to visit today..."

Song Jinyue glanced at Qiu Yun and motioned for her to take out the things.

Qiu Yun understood and hurriedly took out the black box from the baggage behind her, holding the black box in both hands to the square black table in front of shopkeeper Li.

After placing the black box, Qiu Yun retreated behind the young lady.

Shopkeeper Li glanced at Miss Song Er and saw that she nodded, then raised his hand to open the black box.

Shopkeeper Li frowned slightly when he saw what was inside.

The gold hairpin inside was ordinary, but he recognized the jade hairpin.

It was the hairpin of Shen, the mistress of the Song Dynasty's palace.

At first, Mrs. Shen got the material from Shopkeeper Li. Even though Mrs. Shen later found someone to beat the piece of material into a hairpin, Shopkeeper Li could still recognize it at a glance. The jade hairpin was the same piece of material that he had in his hand. Made by!

"Second Miss Song, this..." Shopkeeper Li looked a little embarrassed, pointing to the jade hairpin in the black box, with a bit of embarrassment in his eyes.

How much does Mr. Shen love this jade hairpin? Which of the high-ranking families in the capital doesn't know?

Song Jinyue smiled lightly, and she guessed that shopkeeper Li was in trouble. He might have thought that she had stolen this jade hairpin from Shen's house!

"Don't worry, Shopkeeper Li, this hairpin was given by my mother."

In one sentence, the whole story was explained.

Shopkeeper Li was even more confused. Since the Duke's wife gave this rare jade hairpin to Miss Song, how could she bring it to his Yong'an pawnshop?

Could it be that the Duke's government is short of money right now?

But even so, it was Shen who should have stepped forward. How could he ask a young lady who had not yet left the government and had such a noble status to come to the pawn shop to pawn something.

"I wonder if Second Miss Song wants to..."

Shopkeeper Li slowly closed the black box and asked directly.

Song Jinyue picked up the tea that had been set aside, took a sip, then slowly put down the tea cup, took a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her lips, lowered her head to straighten her skirt, and replied lightly: "Of course I want to put things away. Pawned."

Shopkeeper Li looked stunned, but he was thinking in his mind that this matter might be a hot potato, but he couldn't afford to throw it away.

He did not answer, but looked at Miss Song Er and motioned for her to continue speaking.

"Shopkeeper Li, don't worry. If anyone dares to make things difficult for Yong'an Pawnshop, shopkeeper Li will send someone to Song Guogong's Mansion to inform me, and I will step in to smooth things over for the shopkeeper."

Shopkeeper Li's eyes moved, but he still didn't answer.

Song Jinyue continued: "If Shopkeeper Li is still not at ease, I am willing to sign and post with Shopkeeper Li as evidence."

"That's not necessary, I just don't know the price in Miss Song's heart...and whether she will redeem it later?" Shopkeeper Li waved his hand and then expressed the questions in his heart.

Yongan Pawn Shop has always relied on pawns to start its business, and there are rules in pawn shops.

If anything bought into Yong'an Pawn Shop is not redeemed within ten days, then it will be up to the pawn shop to decide whether to keep it or not.

Song Jinyue also understands the rules of Yongan Pawnshop.

She would never come back to redeem the things she was going to pawn today.

"Don't worry, shopkeeper. Since this thing has entered Yong'an Pawnshop today, it belongs to shopkeeper Li. I will not come back to redeem it. There is just one condition."

Shopkeeper Li paused and looked at Miss Song Er, wondering what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd.

I was also afraid that Second Miss Song would come forward with difficult conditions.

He had already guessed something in his mind, fearing that there was some estrangement between Mrs. Shen of the Duke of Song Dynasty and this stepdaughter, and what was going on in the Gaomen Courtyard.

He is a pawnshop owner, how can he want to participate in the peace?

But today, Miss Song Er came in a carriage from General Zhang's Mansion.

Do you think this is what General Zhang’s Mansion means?
