I was reborn and ran away, I vacated the house of the best grandma

Chapter 120 Two identical jade pendants

The shopkeeper stretched out his hand, wanting to persuade him to stay, but he didn't expect everyone to walk onto the road.

When he walked out of the store and saw Xirou entering the pawn shop in front, he regretted it. Alas, what a loss, what a loss. If I had known better, I would not have been so greedy. Such a good jade pendant was gone.

Xi Rou entered a pawn shop where the business was pretty good. As soon as she entered, the clerk came up to her with a smile: "Miss, what do you want to pawn? I'll ask our shopkeeper to show you."

Xirou looked at the smiling waiter, and her mood improved a little. She said with a smile: "I want to pawn a jade pendant. Please call the shopkeeper for me."

"Okay, wait a minute, I'll call someone for you right now." After the guy said that, he ran to call someone.

Xirou waited for a while, and an old man in his 50s came over from behind. When he saw Xirou, he smiled and said, "Girl, I heard that you want to pawn the jade pendant?"

Xi Rou nodded and said, "Yes, I have a jade pendant here. Can you help me see how much it is worth?"

After Xi Rou finished speaking, she placed the jade pendant in the tray.

When the old man saw the jade pendant, his eyes suddenly lit up. He hurriedly picked up the jade pendant and looked at it carefully. He was very shocked.

This jade pendant looked familiar, yes, it was exactly the same as the one his old friend kept in the store.

In order to verify his guess, he said to Xirou: "Girl, can I take it to the back and have a look?"

Xi Rou was not so stupid and said, "Just watch it here!"

The old gentleman suddenly realized that he had made a mistake. When looking at jade, he cannot pick it up with his hands. He can only put it on a tray for another person to look at. And when looking at it, he cannot leave the sight of the owner. This is the rule. .

He smiled awkwardly and said, "Yes, yes, I'm sorry, I forgot the rules for a moment."

Xirou didn't say anything, just smiled.

After a while, the old gentleman ran back from behind, holding a small box in his hand.

Opening the box, Xi Rou saw an identical jade pendant.

Xirou was a little shocked. Could it be that this jade pendant was so valuable that others had it?

The old gentleman compared the two jade pendants and was extremely shocked. Yes, these were the same pair.

Haha, there is news about the old guy’s daughter.

Xi Rou saw the old shopkeeper smiling with a jade pendant, and felt a little confused. What was going on? And he laughed.

The old gentleman put away his jade pendant and asked, "Little girl, how much do you want to pawn this jade pendant for?"

Xirou thought for a while and replied: "20."

The old gentleman was slightly shocked when he heard this. 20, this little girl really dared to make an offer.

However, this jade pendant is indeed worth the price. This is an old jade passed down from ancient times. It was once used by the nobles in the royal palace. If it were auctioned, it would probably cost more than this price.

He thought for a while and replied: "Well, I can give you this price, but you have to reveal to me the origin of your jade pendant."

Xirou was also shocked. She just made a price at random. She didn't expect it to be so valuable. It seemed that it was quite worth it for my mother to dip into the pig cage for such a time. She got 20 in one fell swoop.

"Okay, you ask someone to give me the money first, and then I tell you." Xirou replied readily.

Anyway, she got this jade pendant for free, and now that she has pawned it, it can also be used as start-up capital for her own business, which is pretty good.

"Okay, girl, feel free." The old man said happily, "You sit down for a moment, I'll have someone prepare it right now. Do you want cash, or?"

Xirou looked at the time and saw that the bank was about to close, so she said, "Cash."

Anyway, after the Chinese New Year, she will buy a factory, so she will put the money in the space.

The old gentleman was a little surprised. With so much cash, the little girl was not afraid of being robbed?

But seeing that she was very decisive in doing things, and knowing that she was a person with ideas, he didn't say anything and asked someone to prepare cash.

The two were drinking tea and chatting. Half an hour later, the waiter came over and brought an old gentleman who was about the same age as the old shopkeeper.

The old gentleman is wearing a long gray cotton-padded jacket and has a straight waist. Although he is old, he is still energetic and has a good temperament. At first glance, he is a person of high status.

When the old gentleman saw Xi Rou, his expression was a little disappointed.

When the old shopkeeper saw him coming, he hurriedly asked him to sit aside and whispered a few words. Then he came back and asked the waiter to hand the money to Xirou.

Xi Rou felt a little strange, but when she saw the money, she forgot about it. After counting them carefully, he closed the box and said with a smile: "Well, yes, the number is correct."

The old shopkeeper nodded and smiled, and then asked: "Now, can you tell me where this jade pendant comes from?"

Xirou glanced at the old man who had been sizing her up, then withdrew his gaze and said, "This jade pendant was given to me by my grandfather, the patriarch of my village. My family used to live in Jing'an Village, Jiangcheng. Later, something happened to the family. In order to compensate, the patriarch Our family just gave me this jade pendant.”

The two old gentlemen looked at each other in confusion after hearing this. It seemed that this was different from what they thought.

The old man in gray robe couldn't hold himself back anymore and explained directly: "Girl, to tell you the truth, the jade pendant in your hand is a pair of this jade pendant of ours. This is something passed down from our ancestors. There is no similarity in the world." of."

Xirou was also surprised when she heard this and looked at the old gentleman curiously.

The old man in gray robe looked sad and continued: "One of these pair of jade pendants was given to my daughter, and the other is kept by my daughter-in-law. When our family was fleeing famine, we unfortunately encountered a car accident halfway. When I woke up, I found that my daughter was missing. . Some people say that she must have fallen off a cliff and died, while others say that she was probably rescued. Over the years, we have been looking for the whereabouts of our daughter, but there has been no news."

The old gentleman in gray robe could not help but shed tears as he spoke.

The old shopkeeper patted his hand and comforted him: "The child is definitely alive and will definitely meet again."

"Thank you, I'm fine. My wife has been talking about my daughter. In the past two years, her health and bones have not been as good as before. I'm worried. I'm worried that she won't be able to wait until the day when mother and daughter meet." The old man in gray robe sighed.

After Xirou heard this, she felt so pitiful and couldn't bear it.

But she only knew so much, and she didn't know where the old gentleman's daughter was.

However, this jade pendant was obtained from the patriarch’s grandfather. He must know the origin of this jade pendant. She was also very curious as to why the patriarch’s grandfather had such a jade pendant in his hand. At first, he clearly told himself that it was left behind by his ancestors. How come his jade pendant has now become something handed down from this old man’s ancestors?

There must be something she doesn't know about. She was too anxious to run away, so she took the jade pendant and left without thinking. Looking back on the situation at that time, Xi Rou also felt it was quite strange.

Why didn't the patriarch give money to compensate their family, but gave him a jade pendant like this?
