The Tales of a Blessed Daughter - Chapter 156
Chapter 156: Qicao Pawnshop
After Su Yan had some free time, she remembered what Madam Su had said and asked her to go to the shop to take a look.
Thinking of this, Su Yan felt a little guilty.
It had been a long time since she had promised Madam Su to go and take a look.
Thinking of this, she immediately took Chu Tao and set off.
Chu Tao had followed Madam Su to the shop a few times before in order to help Su Yan in the future.
It could be said that Madam Su had already treated her daughter in every way.
Su Yan did not enter the shop immediately.
Instead, she brought Chu Tao to visit the streets of the capital city.
Chu Tao pointed out which shop belonged to the Su family one by one.
Su Yan looked at the plaque of the shop that belonged to the Su family.
There was a small red bean mark on it.
Chu Tao felt that it was a little strange, but she knew something about it.
She smiled and said, “This is the token of love between Master Su and Madam Su.
”
She did not expect her father and mother to be so romantic when they were young.

After walking around for a while, Su Yan found a teahouse and went in.
She ordered a cup of tea and drank it slowly.
Chu Tao asked curiously, “Miss, why don’t you go into the shop to have a look?”
Su Yan smiled and said, “This is a time when business is busy.
I won’t disturb them.
Come and tell me about the situation of these shops.
”
There were a total of eight shops in the capital.
They dabbled in various industries, and the best business was Jin Ji Pastry.

This shop’s pastry was very popular in the capital, from the royal family to the common people.
All the pastry recipes were developed by the Su family themselves, so it was absolutely impossible to get this taste in other places.
The quality of the rest of the shops was uneven.
Su Yan interrupted Chu Tao’s words and said, “Tell me, which shop is the worst?”
Chu Tao answered without thinking, “It’s Qicao Pawnshop.
There’s a pawnshop in the capital that has been given a title by the palace.
The people feel that they’re more reliable, so the pawnshops in the capital have been in a slump for the past few years.
Only our family is still holding on.
”
As she said this, she was a little indignant.
“That pawnshop actually specializes in swindling.
I don’t know why the palace gave it to them.
”
Su Yan did not say anything.
She picked up the cup and took a sip.
What other reason could it be? There was someone behind it.
It seemed like this was the shop of that imperial relative.
The only prince that still existed in the palace was the current emperor.
It went without saying who the owner of this pawnshop was.
Su Yan put down the cup and said, “Let’s go.
We’ll go to the pawnshop to take a look.
”
Chu Tao naturally had no objections.
If the two of them wanted to go to the Su family’s Qicao Pawnshop, they would have to pass by the pawnshop that was licensed by the imperial family.
Su Yan looked up and saw the words ‘Imperial Pawnshop’ written carelessly on the sign.
They were really afraid that others would not know.
With such a delay, she coincidentally bumped into an old woman who was pushed out by the pawnshop staff.
The old woman’s expression was a little agitated.
She took out the bracelet in her hand and said, “This bracelet isn’t mine.
Please take a look again.
This bracelet isn’t mine.
”
The person pushing was a young man with a pointy mouth and monkey cheeks.
He crossed his arms and said mockingly, “I saw you enter our pawnbroker with this bracelet.
If It’s not yours, then whose is it?”
The old woman fell to her knees with a plop, she said, “This really isn’t mine.
My bracelet is our family’s heirloom.
My child was forced to take it out to pawn because he was sick.
My child is still waiting for this money to save his life.
”
The young man said impatiently, “Take your bracelet and get lost.
We don’t accept this kind of thing at the pawnshop.
”
The old woman’s expression was even more desperate.
She kept crying and complaining that this was not her bracelet.
The young man saw more and more people surrounding him.
A flash of anger appeared in his eyes.
He kicked away the old woman’s hand that was grabbing his pants.
The old woman was kicked to the ground.
The bracelet in her hand fell to the ground and shattered.
