Chapter 14 Chapter Thirteen Quality Library

Here Di Renjie took out the paper seal he got on the road in the morning, handed the pledge ticket inside to Ayu, and asked, "Yu'er, I'm not very familiar with Luoyang City, do you know that the word 'Yutong' written on the pledge ticket is in the city?" where?" Ayu looked at the pledge ticket for a while, feeling a little embarrassed: "My lord, what is a pledge warehouse? What is the pledge ticket for?" Di Renjie was stunned, then smiled again: "Hehe, I forgot that you are a girl, raised since childhood, how do you know this?" Pointing to the pledge ticket, he said: "This pledge warehouse is for mortgage lending. For example, if you urgently need some money today, you can take the valuables at home to the pledge warehouse as collateral, and you can borrow money that is lower than the original price of the item, agree on a time limit, and then return the money back to the pledge warehouse. Only by paying interest can the original property be redeemed. If it is not returned after the expiration date, the pledged property will be confiscated. In the early days, it was operated by temples. In our dynasty, more and more merchants opened businesses, and some nobles also envied the interest and joined in the business one after another. To avoid any mistakes, each company’s pledge ticket has its own specific format, and even the content written on it is often in a certain order, lacking strokes and strokes, and laymen can’t understand it.”

Ayu twirled her long hair between her fingers, and said: "So that's how it is. I said why it looks like a ghostly drawn talisman, and I can't understand it at all." Suddenly he smiled mischievously: "Could it be that your lord has ever taken care of the quality warehouse business?" Li Yuanfang stretched out her finger and tapped Ayu's head lightly, and said with a smile, "You girl." While asking, "My lord, why don't you find someone in a lowly position to inquire about it?" Di Renjie said: "That's not necessary. There is another paper here. I think the address of Yutong quality warehouse should be marked on it. It's just a little trouble."

While spreading out the piece of paper that looked like a chessboard, the lines were crisscrossed horizontally and vertically, except for the eight characters on the top, "It's about Ayu, I hope you can get it quickly." A drop of ink was dripped on it, and it was a bit rounder, it looked more like a black chess piece. Li Yuanfang counted secretly. On the paper, there were 12 vertical lines and 11 horizontal lines, which obviously did not conform to the shape of the chessboard with 19 vertical and horizontal lines, and it did not indicate where the quality pool was. Just listen to Di Renjie say: "Yu'er, think carefully about the layout of Luoyang city," pointing to a thick horizontal line in the middle of the paper, and said: "If this is Luoshui, the whole Luoyang city is divided into north and south, Does the one below look like Luonan Seventy-five Square?"

Ayu thought about it according to his words, and said happily: "Yes, what your lord said is really similar. This is Nanshi. This should be Dingding Street. From south to north, this line is Renhe, Zhengyu, Yongfeng, Xiushan, Si Shun and Fushun workshops, from east to west are Guiren, Huijie, Zhangshan and other workshops; along this line are Mingjiao, Yiren, Chunhua, Anye, etc.." As he spoke, he identified them one by one on the paper. Looking up, there are no more and no less, and it happens that the vertical and horizontal lines are divided into various squares and cities. Di Renjie nodded and said: "Then, the Yongfeng Square where the ink dot is located is exactly what we are looking for."

Ayu didn't take it seriously: "It's just a warehouse, why should it be so mysterious?" Di Renjie said: "The person who wrote the letter must know that your life experience is of great importance, so it is inconvenient to write it in the letter, and deliberately sell it to me. Besides, the judge's office did not find what they wanted in your home, so it must not be I will give up, I am afraid I have already set my sights on you, so it is better to be careful." Li Yuanfang smiled and said: "He did this because he knew that adults could understand this letter."

Hearing this, Ah Yu's heart was touched, and she just stood there in a daze.In the past nineteen years, why didn't she want to know her life experience?I also secretly investigated everywhere, but there has been no news.Although it was mentioned in Master's letter the day before yesterday that someone would hand over things related to her life experience to her, firstly she was worried about Master's safety, and secondly, something happened in the past few days, so she subconsciously didn't want to think about it. Putting this matter aside, I only think that rescuing the master is the most important thing right now. Hearing what Di Renjie said at this time, he will soon reveal his life experience, so that he can know what kind of people his biological parents are, so why not make people feel flustered?I was happy for a while, but a little scared for a while, I just felt my nose sore, and tears were about to roll down.

Li Yuanfang saw that her face was slightly pale and she was in a daze, she couldn't help worrying, she shook her lightly, and said: "Yu'er, you should be happy, why are you sad instead?" Ayu looked at Di Renjie, then at Li Yuanfang, lowered her eyes and said in a low voice, "How can I be unhappy? Ever since I was a child, Master has treated me like a father, but which child doesn't want a mother? When I was young, I often dreamed I saw my mother hugging me and singing me a nice song, and my mother patted me lightly and covered me with the kicked-off quilt." Ayu said, her eyes gradually glowing, and she smiled sweetly, Said: "Brother Li, if you don't believe me, I remember my mother's appearance, she is so beautiful. It's just that I grow up year by year, and I can't dream of her anymore. Master is afraid that I will wake up in the night and cry, so I give you I hired a nanny, but I was afraid that my servant would not take good care of me, so I often stayed up all night and just sat in front of the bed. He thought I was asleep, but I knew it. After I became more sensible, I gradually understood why Master still He is single: he is afraid that marrying someone who enters the family will do me bad. Alas, Yu'er will never repay Master's kindness in this lifetime."

Di Renjie sighed: "Don't be afraid, Yu'er, I will accompany you to uncover the mystery with you, Brother Li." Li Yuanfang said: "That's right, besides, your master's letter said that if you are in danger, you may be able to keep safe by this. It is extremely important to think about it." Ayu nodded silently. When he arrived at Yongfengfang, Li Yuanfang casually asked where he could pledge things. Sure enough, he found a pledge warehouse. Written with Yutong font size. Di Renjie and the other three entered the store. Ayu saw that the quality warehouse was different from ordinary stores. The counter was very high and he couldn't see what was going on inside. He saw a man with the appearance of an accountant poking his head out of the counter and asked: " Are you pledging or redeeming?"

Li Yuanfang handed over the pledged note, only to hear a voice from inside: "Wait a moment", as if to give orders in a low voice, and did not ask Li Yuanfang to charge interest.After a while, the side door opened, and a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy came out, bowed his hands to the three of them and said, "Which one is Lord Di?" Di Renjie said, "I am." The young man said: "So, please come with me, three of you." He led the way, passed through the side door, and walked in. Di Renjie and others followed closely behind. Seeing that the warehouse is very large, after passing the double courtyard, Fang When he came to a row of houses, the young man led everyone into a room where the tables and chairs were arranged in the style of a living room.The young man asked the three of them to sit down for a while, and then walked behind the screen, only to hear the sound of a machine switch. After a while, when the young man turned around, he had an extra lacquer box in his hand. After putting it on the table, he respectfully said to Di Renjie: "Lord Di, this is what you want to take." After finishing speaking, he saluted again and exited the room, still closing the door gently.

Di Renjie opened the lacquer box and saw a small package, but he didn't know what it was. Ayu grabbed Li Yuanfang's arm with one hand and stared at the contents, feeling very nervous. When I took it out to see, it turned out to be two pieces of baby's underwear, a bellyband, and a little jade tiger in red silk.Looking closely at the sunlight in front of the window, Di Renjie felt a shock in his heart. One of the clothes and trousers were pink and the other was lotus color, both of which were woven with various auspicious patterns on the twill base. It is precious and rare, and has always been used exclusively in the palace. Even princes and ministers must never use it unless it is bestowed by the Holy One.And the bellyband is bright red in color, embroidered with phoenix patterns, and is exquisite in workmanship. Although it is a small piece, it is full of nobility; look at the jade tiger, worn together with two small golden bells, hanging on the baby's wrist The decorations are ingeniously crafted, just like those made in the palace. When you turn the back, you can see a few small characters on the ring of the hanging rope. You can read them carefully. It seems to be "Eternal Life Palace". Di Renjie is more and more frightened, and bows his head. He frowned and said nothing.

Seeing the traces of rouge on the baby's clothes, which seemed to melt with water, Ah Yu imagined that the mother had put her face on the little baby's chest, crying softly, so that the traces of rouge and tears were stained, and felt sad. Tears could not stop falling down, Li Yuanfang had no choice but to comfort her softly: "It can be seen that your mother must have had unavoidable difficulties back then, so she let you leave her side." Ayu nodded, and then put the little jade tiger in his hand and stroked it gently. He saw faint red lines in the jade color, just like the fur of a little tiger. put away. Just as he was talking, the young man's voice sounded at the door just now: "Master Di, my shopkeeper, please move forward and say something." Di Renjie put down his belongings, walked out the door, and asked, "May I ask what your shopkeeper's name is?" The young man replied: "Jiu Ye said, I am an old friend with Mr. Di, and Mr. Di will know it at the first sight." Di Renjie smiled slightly, and asked the young man to lead the way, followed by Li Yuanfang, Ayu was still lost in thought, when Li Yuanfang left the room, he hurriedly followed, the young man said: "The shopkeeper asked the girl to rest and wait in this room first. "A Yu panicked and looked at Di Renjie with a pitiful look on his face. Di Renjie sighed secretly and said, "Yuan Fang, I'll come back as soon as I go. Just wait here with Yu'er." Li Yuanfang knew that Di Renjie said so, there was no danger in going to see the shopkeeper, and he was really worried about Ayu, so he could only stay as promised.
