Embarrassed Princess Gao Yang!
Outside Chang 'an City, in an ordinary county called Gao' An County.
It had been a few days since Princess Chang Le's wedding, but Princess Gao Yang and Monk Bian Ji were hiding here.
When they eloped, they didn't have much money on them. Their funds were limited, so they could only stay in Gao 'An County, which was relatively close to Chang' an City.
Fortunately, the soldiers in Chang 'an City did not come out to search, and they spent a few days in peace.
Of course, in order to prevent being discovered, they used fake names. Princess Gao Yang's name was Yu Yan, and Bian Ji's name was Luo He.
But now, there was a huge problem in front of them, because Princess Gao Yang had been spoiled since she was young, and besides chanting scriptures and striking the wooden fish, Bian Ji knew nothing else.
Now, they were worried about their livelihood.
"Luo He, why don't I pawn my things? Maybe I can pawn some silver.”Princess Gao Yang said as she took off the bracelet in her hand.
When Bian Ji heard Princess Gao Yang's words, he immediately nodded his head. He felt that this was not a bad suggestion. After all, no matter what, they really could not open the pot anymore.
Besides, they didn't have a place to live now. If they didn't think of a way, they would probably have to sleep on the streets.
Thinking of this, Bian Ji took Princess Gao Yang's things and went to the pawnshop.
Looking at Bian Ji leaving, Princess Gao Yang's heart was filled with mixed feelings. She thought that after escaping with her beloved man, her life would be very happy. She did not expect to be troubled by her livelihood.
Life had given her a heavy blow.
On the other side, Bian Ji brought Princess Gao Yang's things to the pawnshop. Looking at the pawnshop in front of him, Bian Ji walked in without saying anything.
"Are you here to pawn something?" the shop assistant said.
When Bian Ji heard this, he immediately nodded and said without hesitation,""That's right, I'm here to pawn things. Take a look at how much these things are worth.”
After Bian Ji finished speaking, he handed the item in his hand to the shop assistant.
When the shop assistant heard Bian Ji's words, he immediately took the item from Bian Ji's hand and began to examine it without saying anything.
"These things are of good quality and are worth about a few hundred taels. If you think it's okay, let's trade now.”
The shop assistant looked at Bian Ji and sized him up.
After all, no matter what, the person in front of him looked very poor. Otherwise, he would not be dressed so crudely.
To be honest, these things were worth a few thousand taels.
The quality, color, and workmanship of these things were all very good.
However, when Braid Machine heard that it was only worth a few hundred taels, he frowned and quickly said,""A few hundred taels? Little brother, take a good look. The quality and workmanship of these things are all first-class. How can they only be worth a few hundred taels?”
The pawnshop assistant immediately became impatient when he heard this. He placed the things in his hand on the table and said snappily,"No matter how good the workmanship of this bracelet is, it's only worth a few hundred taels. If you think it's inappropriate, you can take it to another pawn shop to take a look.。”
The braiding machine took back the things and looked at the pawnshop assistant's eyes that were sizing him up again. He turned around and left in embarrassment.
He knew very well that the pawnshop assistant was just trying to blackmail him because he was dressed in coarse clothes and needed money urgently. Even if it was another pawnshop, it would be the same.
However, he still did not give up. He took Princess Gao Yang's jewelry and went back and forth to several pawn shops. One could imagine that the outcome was the same.
This was something that belonged to the royal family. No matter how exquisite the workmanship of the things in the world was, the materials used would definitely not be as good as the materials used by the royal family. How could it be only worth a few hundred taels?
However, he was forced by life and had no choice. Braid Machine finally took a few hundred taels of silver and went back.
When they returned, the sky was already dark.
The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled down, golden and beautiful as before.
"Why are you only back now? Did you run into some trouble?"
Seeing Braid Machine's lonely figure from afar, Princess Gaoyang quickly went up to him and asked.
Braid Machine sighed as he looked at Gao Yang's originally embroidered clothes that had turned into the current coarse linen clothes. He suddenly said,"Yuyan, it's been hard on you to follow me.”
Princess Gaoyang was stunned at first, but then she smiled gently. She held the braiding machine's hand and said affectionately,"Don't say that. As long as I can be with you, I'm willing to suffer no matter how tiring it is.”
Looking at the things that the braiding machine had bought, she said,"By the way, how much money did you pawn today?”
Braid Machine took out the money bag and weighed it in his hand before saying,"I went to a few pawn shops and bought some things for my family. They were all worth five hundred taels of silver.”
Gao Yang reached out to take a look and sighed. The smile on his lips was slightly bitter as he pulled the braiding machine back into the house.
Their long shadows were reflected in the setting sun, and for the time being, they looked as beautiful as the afterglow of the setting sun.
As night fell, lights were lit in every house.
One of them was a princess who lived like a prince, and the other was a monk who only knew how to chant scriptures and Buddha in the temple.
However, cooking was also a technical job for them.
In order to prevent Princess Gao Yang from burning down the house they had bought with all their money, the two of them only ate some vegetable porridge made by the braiding machine at night.
However, as Princess Gao Yang who grew up eating delicacies, this plain porridge was really difficult for her to swallow.
Coupled with the few days of escape and the pressure of life today, her suppressed temper exploded when she swallowed the first mouthful of porridge.
"Luo He, do you know how to make other food? At the very least, you should stir-fry some vegetables."
Gao Yang showed an expression of not wanting to eat and said with a frown.
Braid Machine paused when he heard that. He pursed his lips and clutched the bowl tightly. After a long time, he said,"Let's make do with it today. Tomorrow, I will go and look for some money-making jobs. When I can make a living, my days will be good.”
Princess Gaoyang still wanted to say something, but when she saw the braiding machine, she suddenly realized that she had gone too far. She lowered her head and felt a trace of apology in her heart.
Finally.
The porridge finally entered Princess Gao Yang's stomach.
Things were different now. Since she had chosen to elope with the braiding machine, she had to go all the way even if she had to suffer.
She couldn't be picky either. It was difficult for her, but it wasn't difficult for the braiding machine.
