Chapter 53 I'll take you to Chang'an
Early in the morning of the next day.
Early in the morning, after Changle cooked for Qin Wenyuan, she saw Qin Wenyuan seemed to be feeding pigeons at the door, so she walked up to him and asked curiously: "Husband, what are you doing?"
Qin Wenyuan came back yesterday afternoon. Ever since this pigeon came, it has been acting mysterious, which made her very curious.
Qin Wenyuan smiled, turned around and said, "Madam, what do you think this is?"
At first, Changle only felt a flash of light in Qin Wenyuan's hand. When she looked carefully, she was stunned.
"This... is this a jade ring?!"
Changle was shocked. As the eldest princess of Li Shimin, she had naturally seen many rare treasures.
The jade ring in Qin Wenyuan's hand has an exquisite shape, and the jade used is absolutely of the finest quality!
Of course, it is still far inferior to her jade bracelet, but it is definitely one of the best.
"Husband, where did this jade ring come from?"
Changle looked at Qin Wenyuan in disbelief, even though the tea shop business had been good recently and had made a big deal.
But the business has only been open for a few days, where would I get the money to buy the jade ring?
Moreover, these kinds of things are dispensable. Before they become wealthy enough, she doesn't believe her husband will spend money to buy them.
Qin Wenyuan approached Changle with a smile on his face. He looked at her deeply, touched Changle's head with his right hand, applied a little force, and then gently kissed his wife's beautiful face.
This made Changle's face flush immediately, and she didn't know what Qin Wenyuan was trying to do.
"Madam, I got this by chance. I'm going to sell it now. Please wait for me. If nothing unexpected happens..."
Qin Wenyuan chuckled and said tenderly, "We will be moving this afternoon, to... Chang'an where you used to live."
Hearing this, a ripple appeared in Changle's heart.
Regarding going to Chang'an... I feel both happy and scared.
After all, this is Chang'an, the place where she was expelled from the royal family!
Moreover, some time ago, my father kept saying that he wanted to kill my husband.
Changle pouted and lowered her head and said, "Husband, are you... too impatient? I think Baiyun County is pretty good. Uncle Luo and the others are all very nice to us ."
Qin Wenyuan shook his head and said, "That's true, but I don't want you to be looked down upon."
"From being a young lady, she fell to the point of struggling for three meals a day because of me. How could I not take this kind of experience seriously?"
"Of course, after moving to Chang'an, maybe now, I can't make your original family look at me more. After all, I am just a businessman."
"But this is a sign I give them, a sign that I can bring you good days."
"Madam, I will make the decision on this matter privately. It's settled for now. You wait for me at home. I guess we will be busy all day today."
After saying that, Qin Wenyuan took a piece of cloth, wrapped the jade ring, and then went towards Chang'an City.
Changle was touched by these words and felt sweet in her heart.
But when she reacted, she found that Qin Wen had walked far away.
She raised the corner of her mouth slightly, looked at Qin Wenyuan's back, and suddenly said loudly: "Husband, you haven't eaten yet! Don't go on the road on an empty stomach!"
However, Qin Wenyuan had already gone far away.
Changle was so anxious that she stamped her feet on the spot, wondering what was wrong with her. She was always distracted by her husband's words.
…
Early in the morning, Qin Wenyuan brought the dog to Chang'an City, ready to sell the jade ring.
It turned out that the jade ring was not his, but belonged to Li Lu from Bingzhou Ruyi Tea Shop.
After he was killed, the items were taken away and sent to Baiyun County via carrier pigeons over two days.
This time, their destination was the pawnshop that Changle went to last time.
The reason I chose this one is mainly because it seems to be the largest pawnshop in the area.
"Sir, what do you need?"
When the waiter saw Qin Wenyuan, he remained calm and informed the shopkeeper while pouring tea for Qin Wenyuan.
"That young man, is he here again?"
The shopkeeper's face was solemn. He had realized last time that the thing in Changle's hand came from the royal family.
Finally he reported it to his superiors, and the response he got was that if they came again, they would be given the highest price.
There are too many things the shopkeeper dare not think about because he knows who is behind him.
The person behind this pawn shop is the current queen!!
When the Tang Dynasty was first established, it was very short of money, so the royal estates were actually involved in some of the businesses of merchants.
However, that is only what is seen in the open. The royal family also controls some businesses in secret, but this is not well known.
In other words, some powerful ministers would know that, after all, business between merchants is always inferior.
What happened here was known to Empress Chang Sun at the first moment.
She felt very distressed, but thinking of Li Shimin's strict prohibition, she couldn't directly help Changle and Qin Wenyuan.
In the end, he could only give the shopkeeper these instructions, and also told him not to give Qin Wenyuan an unpleasant look.
At this time, Qin Wenyuan came again, and the shopkeeper had to treat him seriously.
He didn't dare to inquire about Qin Wenyuan's identity. After all, it was related to the royal family. If he accidentally found out something he shouldn't know, the consequences would be too serious.
"Sir, are you going to pawn this?"
The shopkeeper came out personally and asked Qin Wenyuan with a smile.
Qin Wenyuan nodded, then looked around, his meaning was self-evident.
The shopkeeper immediately took Qin Wenyuan to the inner hall, and finally Qin Wenyuan took out a dazzling object from the package.
"Hiss! What? What is this?"
The shopkeeper was shocked.
"This is a jade ring, and it looks so natural. It must have been made by a master. It is a top-quality item . This is a great item!"
The shopkeeper was very excited, but according to the rules of their industry, even if he saw something very good, he would not show it.
After all, when doing business, if you act too eager or too shocked, the other party will wait for a better price.
However, because of the order from his superiors, he dared not be careless.
Since the shopkeeper said that he would give the highest price, he dared not disobey.
However, when the shopkeeper looked at the jade ring, he felt a pang of pain in his heart.
This thing is definitely worth a lot of money! It's not too much to be worth a hundred taels of silver!
One tael of silver was enough for an ordinary family to live on for several years, but a hundred taels was too much for their pawnshop to bear, even with the support of the royal family.
"Shopkeeper, this is what I want to pawn. What's your price?"
Qin Wenyuan asked this. In fact, no matter how much he offered, Qin Wenyuan was willing to sell it.
Because to Qin Wenyuan, this was just a material possession, and it was obtained by chance.
There is no need to take it too seriously. As long as you can get some money to subsidize the cost of your new home, that's enough.
