Su Yan smiled and said, “Since that’s the case, I’ll return this bracelet to you.”
As she said that, she threw it back.
The young man quickly caught it. Elder Wang took it over and took a look. This was not glazed jade, it was just an ordinary Hotan jade.
After looking carefully, he did not find any golden light.
He looked at the young man in bewilderment. The young man touched his head and said, “I really saw it just now.”
Elder Wang realized that he had been tricked. He looked at Su Yan in anger and said, “How dare you fool me!”
Su Yan shrugged and said, “No, it’s glazed jade.”
Seeing that he was frowning, Su Yan continued, “You should learn more about the appreciation of gemstones. The Hotan jade is the lowest grade because its jade quality is not pure, it is mixed with cotton, so it is also called glazed jade.”
Elder Wang’s face became darker and darker.
He sneered and said, “Qicao Pawnshop. Very good. We will remember this.”
As he said that, he brought the young man back to the pawnshop.
The old woman thanked Su Yan profusely. Su Yan said, “If you want to pawn, you can go to Qicao Pawnshop.”
The onlookers were not stupid. They had long seen what was going on. One after another, they applauded Su Yan.
Su Yan smiled and led the old woman to the pawnshop.
Chu Tao asked in a low voice, “Princess Consort, how did you do that golden light just now?”
Su Yan took out a handkerchief made of gold threads. The handkerchief was transparent and gold threads flashed inside. It was wrapped around the bracelet on her wrist. Under the sunlight, it looked like the bracelet was shining from a distance.
Chu Tao secretly smiled. She really was a princess consort.
When they came to Qiaocao Pawnshop, the business was even worse than Su Yan had imagined. The entire pawnshop was empty, and only a middle-aged man and an eleven or twelve-year-old boy were busy.
Su Yan was a little curious. There were no guests here, so what were the two of them busy with.
They didn’t even see them when they entered the door.
They couldn’t help but cough lightly.
The two of them turned around when they heard the sound. When they saw Su Yan and the others, they were stunned for a moment, as if they suddenly felt that a guest had entered the door.
Su Yan was dumbfounded. She walked closer and took a look. In their hands were all sorts of appreciation books.
The middle-aged man was the first to stand up and say, “I’m the manager of Qicao Pawnshop, Zhang Sheng, are you guys trying to pawn something?”
Su Yan nodded and pointed to the old woman behind her. “She wants to pawn something.”
The old woman quickly handed the bracelet over and said, “I want to pawn this bracelet.”
Zhang Sheng looked at the bracelet in his hand and his eyes lit up. He quickly asked the boy to take out the tools.
The boy laboriously took out a small box from a big box and handed it to Zhang Sheng.
This pawnshop looked rather shabby, but this box was quite new. One look and one could tell that it was frequently used.
Zhang Sheng opened the box. There were all kinds of appreciation tools inside. Su Yan could not understand them, so she walked around the shop with a lack of interest.
She felt that there was only one word that could describe the place, and it was very shabby.
At this time, Zhang Sheng had finished checking the bracelet in his hand. He asked, “Do you want to be a living contract or a dead contract?”
The old woman thought for a moment and said, “I want to be a living contract.”
Zhang Sheng nodded in agreement and said, “The quality of this bracelet is very good. If there are conditions, it’s better to have a living contract. This thing has a lot of collection value. It can be passed down as a family heirloom.”
The old woman smiled and repeatedly agreed.
Su Yan also nodded in satisfaction. Zhang Sheng was a good person.
Zhang Sheng swiftly signed the contract for the old woman. After the two of them signed the contract, they gave the money to the old woman.
The old woman thanked Su Yan again before leaving.
Only then did Zhang Sheng realize that the two of them were not in cahoots.
He asked doubtfully, “Do you have anything else?”
Seeing that they did not seem to be pawning things, he asked this question.
