Chapter 104: No Money, We Have Gold Leaves in Exchange
Lei Zhibiao came out of the yard happily, and he didn't want to meet Xin Xiran when he was faced. The place where he was beaten last time seemed to have a vague pain. He quickly gave in to the side and did not intend to have a conflict with the eldest young master.
But when Xin Xiran saw him, she was surprised and questioned the servant suspiciously: "What are he here to do?"
The servant quickly replied: "This young master is here to visit the master."
Xin Xiran looked at Lei Zhibiao and said unbelievably: "What is he? How could he be so tired of his father? To be honest, what is it?"
The servant lowered his head again in embarrassment, "It's just a coincidence. The master was in a very good mood after listening to the play in Qinglan Garden today. He happened to meet this young master again, so he brought him into the mansion and chatted for a few words."
The old man was very nervous. Xin Xiran knew that he couldn't find any more questions, so he stopped pursuing Lei Zhibiao and let Lei Zhibiao be taken away.
However, he was not that easy to beat. He caught a person who was informed again. After coercion and temptation, he finally knew what Lei Zhibiao had done.
Unexpectedly, the writing storm that caused a lot of storm in the city was said to be the cause of Sister Yao.
After hearing this, Xin Xiran was so scared that she was sweating in her back. This was not a trivial matter, so she rushed to Zhigezhai immediately.
Xin Zhongqiao was not aware of Yao Si's living in Zhigezhai. Originally, the other courtyard had been idle for many years, and Xin Xiran deliberately concealed it, which made Yao Si and Chu Meng live in peace.
But now, I am about to enter school, and Xin Zhongqiao may not believe such a thing, but he will never ignore this matter and will definitely investigate it thoroughly. It would be fine if it weren't for Yao Si, but it would be a coincidence--
Xin Xiran felt a little panicked when she thought about Yao Si asking for her before. She always felt that she knew about it, and even more, she felt that there was something big about her being kept in the dark.
When he arrived at Zhigezhai, he saw Chu Meng not seeing Yao Si. Xin Xiran became more and more uneasy and asked Yao Si whereabouts urgently, but Chu Meng looked unaware of it.
After all, Xin Xiran thought about it briefly and told Chu Meng what he heard. After seeing the latter's surprised expression, he realized that Chu Meng was also unaware of it.
"Si'er has traveled with you these days. Could it be that you still don't know her whereabouts?" Chu Meng obviously blamed.
Xin Xiran was even more surprised: "Sister Yao went out with me, but yesterday he went to the city and said he wanted Lei Zhibiao to help. What did he do? The guy actually said in front of his father that Sister Yao was the one who was going to arrest. How could this be possible-----"
Chu Meng frowned slightly, and he knew that Yao Si had something hidden from him, but because of this, he was worried that if nothing happened, how could he hide it from him? Something must have happened.
Could it be -----
"Wait, Si'er is a smart child, and you'll make plans after she returns."
Xin Xiran had to suppress the uneasiness in her heart and waited patiently in Zhigezhai.
After the stage of the wine-taking building was removed, the crowd also dispersed. The shopkeeper's face was smiling, and the abacus crackled, and occasionally shouted at the waiter to clean up the mess on the table.
From the corner of my eyes, I saw someone coming in again. The shopkeeper looked up and grinned when he saw the visitor, "Hello, girl, sit inside, girl." Then he put down his work and walked out from behind the counter, and walked into the inner hall with the woman in front of the woman, while not forgetting to ask the waiter to serve good tea.
"Miss is so smart. I'll give you my blessing. Today, the shop finally made some money." The waiter brought the tea, and the shopkeeper's attentiveness took it himself and handed it to the woman opposite.
"I'm afraid I'm not just making some money." The woman looked at the shopkeeper with a smile, as if she saw everything.
The shopkeeper was a little embarrassed and laughed: "The girl may think she has made a lot of money, but after the cost, there is not much left. However, it has been much better than before. I have to thank the girl. I don't have any respect for her little thoughts. Please accept it with a smile." He pushed two ingots of silver over.
But the woman gestured, "I'm not here today to ask for money from you."
"That girl----"
"I will help you something, and if you help me, we will be even."
The shopkeeper's eyes rolled and he immediately understood, "I understand, girl, don't worry, I can't ruin your business."

The Wang Family Dangxing is a famous pawn shop in the capital. It has fair prices and excellent reputation. Many people come to pawn every day, so there are naturally many people waiting in line. However, it is not ruled out that the things you think are expensive, so they will naturally give priority to them.
There was no noise in the pawnshop. Most of the people waiting were guessing how much their things could be exchanged for, but someone saw the guy leading a little girl into the inner hall. The curious people began to guess what the person was.
Yao Si was led into the inner hall. After waiting for a while, a manager stepped forward and bowed: "Miss, I've been waiting for a long time. Come and have someone to serve tea."
The guy brought the tea and quickly retreated. There was no one in the hall. The manager asked with a smile: "I don't know what kind of object the girl wants to be?"
Yao Si took out a crude wooden box from his cuff, "Please give it a price casually. I'm in a hurry to use the money, otherwise I wouldn't have been regarded as this thing."
"The credible girls in our Wang family can rest assured that they are good, so they will naturally not lose money to you."
The manager hesitated because of the crude wooden box, but he was just a blink of an eye. When he opened the box, he saw that it was an exquisite golden leaf.
At first glance, it is just a small piece of gold, but in terms of workmanship and texture of gold, all are of high quality, and even the veins on the leaves are clearly visible. This is no longer a piece of gold, but a work that can be called a masterpiece.
"Girl----this--this is a good thing. I'm sorry for being embarrassed. Please wait for a while and I'll invite us to the head of the family." He put down his things and hurried to the back hall, and soon led an older person in.
Yao Si still said the same thing, just look at it. Wang Dangjia studied it for a long time and finally gave Yao Si five hundred taels of silver notes, and the golden leaves were returned to the Wang family pawnshop.
After the in charge sent Yao Si away, he returned to the inner hall and said in surprise: "Master, I think this thing is worth at least a thousand taels----"
"Do you think I'm going to cheat a little girl?" Wang Dangjia was unhappy and solemn. "It's not enough to give her a thousand taels. Do you know what the origin of this thing is?"
The manager shook his head, knowing that things are not simple, he didn't dare to ask too much, for fear of causing trouble.
Wang Dangjia turned around and wrote a post, and after a moment he handed the post to the manager: "You send it to that adult in person."
When the manager saw the content on the post, his face changed drastically, and his hands trembled, and he nodded quickly: "I'll send it now."

Xin Xiran and Chu Meng waited for more than an hour before Yao Si came back. The two sat upright on the left and right, obviously waiting for Yao Si to give an explanation.
Since Xin Xiran has arrived, I am afraid that the Taiwei has already received the news. Yao Si secretly said that Lei Zhibiao is indeed very efficient, and he is even more relieved.
With Lei Zhibiao's character, he must have read his test papers. Perhaps he can't remember it for a while, but it cannot be ruled out that he completely forgot about this matter. Instead of putting hope on hope, it is better to do it once and for all. If this matter is not solved for a day, it will be her mind.
