Lin Chujiu was never afraid of being embarrassed, nor was she afraid of being pointed out, even if it was such a shameful thing as selling a dowry, she could do it righteously and not hide it.
The people in Xiao Wang’s mansion were extremely efficient. Before the people who announced the imperial decree went out, they loaded Lin Chujiu’s dowry on a trolley and dragged it to the pawnshop.
The man in the pawn shop saw the guards from Prince Xiao's mansion coming over, and was almost scared to pee.
Of course, the pawnshops have a backstage. The backstage of the store Cao Guanjia was looking for was the Zhang Family of the Central Empire, which was second only to the existence of the Seven Great Families in the Central Empire.
Whether the Zhang family is from the Central Empire or Dongwen, they are all respectable, but Qianglong doesn’t overwhelm the local snakes. This is Dongwen and Xiao Tianyao’s territory. No matter how crazy they are, they have to restrain themselves.
"Small business?" Butler Cao glanced at the tall counter and the red coral on the counter, then glanced at the ordinary people who were things in front of the counter, hehe sneered: "Young old man is not deceived?"
"This..." The shopkeeper felt embarrassed.
Butler Cao didn't come here to smash the place. He took it away when he saw it, pointed to the box behind him, and said, "Find a place to talk business, I'm going to die!" Those vulgar gold, their princess will never use it.
"What, what? When, when?" The shopkeeper was dumbfounded.
What is the wind direction? The dignified Prince of Dongwen Yipin, poor enough to be a thing? Or dead? How much money is this
"What? You don't allow people to be things when you open a pawnshop?" Butler Cao asked in an understatement, but the shopkeeper didn't dare to take it, and shook his head hurriedly: "How could it be, a few adults, please, please."
The shopkeeper turned and led Butler Cao and his party to the private room in the backyard, and gave Xiao Er a wink and asked him to come to the steward.
He can't do this.
Butler Cao pretended he didn't see it, and when he entered the private room, he urged the shopkeeper to count the jewelry in the box. The shopkeeper deliberately wanted to delay, but Butler Cao didn't give him a chance, so he directly asked the guard to open the jewelry, and attached an inventory: "Come on, our princess said these things, they will be 50,000 taels."
Butler Cao estimated that these jewels were worth 50,000 taels, but it would be a joke to sell them at the pawnshop.
"Sir, these... are worth less than fifty thousand taels." The shopkeeper glanced at the list, and then glanced at the items in the box. With his eyesight, he could be sure that the items were all good things, but the workmanship really made people dare not dare. Agree, all have to be processed before they can be sold for money.
"It's worth it if it's not worth it. It's still 50,000 taels short of 200,000 taels, so I'll point to these things." Butler Cao said it for granted, but he felt a little guilty in his heart.
This is what their princess said, not to mention that these things are worth 50,000 taels, even if they are only worth 10,000 taels, they have to pay 50,000 taels of silver notes, otherwise where would they go to collect 200,000 taels
Can't get it
Are you kidding me, is the signboard of Prince Xiao's mansion good-looking
At this time, if you don’t use power to bully others, when will you be able to use power to bully others
Butler Cao heard Lin Chujiu's words as a matter of course, and took it for granted, but when he really said it, he was still a little embarrassed.
After so many years, the people of their Xiao Wangfu have always been low-key in the capital, and they have never been so arrogant. This is the first time they have been so arrogant, this feeling is really cool!
When the shopkeeper heard what Butler Cao said, he immediately cried: "What's the matter with us if you lose 50,000 taels?"
"Sir, that's not how things are done." The shopkeeper tried to reason with Butler Cao, but Butler Cao ignored it and said, "The emperor asked for 200,000 taels, but it's only 50,000 taels short of it, if we delay it. The matter of the emperor is your fault."
A big hat was buckled, and the shopkeeper didn't know how to deal with it, so he nodded and said, "I have to ask the manager about this matter."
"Go." Butler Cao looked calm, as if he didn't know how shameless he was.
It's not that Butler Cao is so arrogant, but this pawnshop is the same owner as the merchant who took the lead in raising the price of food this time, and there are forces from the Central Empire behind it.
In this incident of raising food prices, there are the Prince, King Wen and others, but both of them are the sons of the emperor. If they were to be picked out, the emperor would probably die of anger.
As for the other officials? The weight is really not enough, Lin Chujiu thought again and again, and decided to let Butler Cao pick it, behind the Central Empire as a businessman.
The persimmons are soft enough to pinch, but only if the strongest ones are feared, others will be obedient and obedient. Grain merchants with a background in the Central Empire are the best choice.
When the shopkeeper went out, the steward just came over. Hearing what the shopkeeper said, the man in charge laughed: "What a prince of Xiao, who has deceived our Xingsheng number, don't ask who is behind our Xingsheng number."
"Manager Zhang, this?" the shopkeeper asked cautiously.
"Here, isn't it just 50,000 taels? It's like sending a beggar." The steward surnamed Zhang said very arrogantly.
The shopkeeper knew at a glance that the money had been given, and it was estimated that the Xiao Wangfu would spit it out ten times.
Their Zhang family is not easy to bully in the Central Empire.
Thinking of this, the shopkeeper was happy, and went to get money for Butler Cao, and when he saw Butler Cao again, his attitude was also arrogant, "Our housekeeper said that King Xiao is bleeding and sweating on the front line, and we merchants can't Too stingy, these 50,000 taels are considered to be given to Xiao Wang by our Xingsheng number, and these things are forgotten, let’s carry them back.”
"We people in Xiao Wang's mansion never use power to bully others, and we don't take a penny from the common people. Treat them as things. If you don't accept these things, we don't want the banknotes." Butler Cao said sternly, even He himself was moved.
After bullying others, you have to put on a show, which is really not a good feeling.
When the shopkeeper heard this, he couldn't help sneering, and was about to make a few sarcastic words when he saw Xiao Er walked in and said something in his ear. , and didn't talk to Butler Cao too much, and immediately asked him to handle the pawn paper for Butler Cao.
"Everyone, it's good to leave." The shopkeeper looked gloating at the misfortune. Butler Cao didn't have to think about it and knew that there were ten rumors that their princess refused to accept the imperial decree.
There is no way. Before their prince got married, their Xiao Wangfu had always fought in a high-profile manner and behaved in a low-key manner. No one in the palace knew anything about it, but since the prince married the princess, everything has changed...
They are now acting in a more and more high-profile manner, and the whole capital will know that a little disturbance will make the whole capital know that it would be strange if the princess refused to accept such a big thing as the imperial decree.
Butler Cao squeezed the 200,000 taels in his hand and sighed in his heart: I hope Su Cha can go well there, otherwise there will be big trouble!
