Before going, Xiao Yingchun had already examined the silver. The silver ingots all had official stamps.

There were three types of copper coins, and she took one of each.

She only took a small piece of the silver.

She swiftly packed everything up, carefully hid the rest, and then set off.

As soon as the pawnshop owner, Dai Hengxin, saw Xiao Yingchun, he immediately became excited, quickly stood up, and welcomed her, “Miss is here? Please, have a seat!”

His attitude was completely different from the very beginning.

“Xiaomei, serve tea quickly!”

Xiao Yingchun waved her hand and directly opened the cloth bag, pulling out the silver ingots. “Let’s skip the small talk. Please take a look at these.”

When Dai Hengxin saw her casually toss them, he felt a little distressed and reminded her, “Be gentle…”

Xiao Yingchun: …

The boss carefully examined them, then enthusiastically said, “These two are ten-tael silver ingots*, in good condition. How about 10,000 yuan each?”

*”Tael” (两): A traditional Chinese unit of weight, approximately 37.3 grams. So, ten taels = around 373 grams of silver. It means each ingot weighs ten taels (about 373 grams).

Xiao Yingchun immediately took the silver ingots back and threw out three copper coins, “Take a look at these three copper coins for me too.”

The boss frowned as he looked at the copper coins.

Over all his years, he had seen a lot, but he had never seen the patterns and styles on these three coins before.

Yet, the surface of the coins was shiny, as if they’d been handled frequently, and they didn’t look fake.

Could they be from some short-lived dynasty that didn’t leave behind much copper currency?

Rare things are valuable—if these coins are real…

Dai Hengxin grew excited inside, but didn’t show anything on his face. He asked casually, “Miss, do you have more of these kinds of copper coins at home?”

Xiao Yingchun wasn’t stupid, “Don’t try to pry. I was able to bring them, just take a good look. If the price is right, I’ll sell them to you. If not, I’ll take them back.”

Anyway, I can’t tell you they were given by a ghost.

Dai Hengxin: “…”

The girl was quite straightforward.

After carefully examining them again, Dai Hengxin still couldn’t make up his mind, so he simply laid his cards on the table.

“Miss, I’m not sure about these items. How about this— I’ll take the two silver ingots, and for the three copper coins…”

“I’ll take some photos and show them to my teacher. If I get any information, I’ll get back to you.”

“Your teacher?”

Mentioning this, Dai Hengxin gave a bitter smile. “I graduated with a degree in cultural relics authentication.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yingchun showed a bit of sympathy. “Okay.”

It’s hard for college graduates to get jobs!
Did he start a pawnshop because he couldn’t find a job in his field?

Something felt off, but she couldn’t quite put her finger on it.

She watched Dai Hengxin take many high-resolution photos of the coins with his phone.

Only after that did he reluctantly return the copper coins to Xiao Yingchun.

Then in the next second, he saw Xiao Yingchun pull out a piece of small silver.

Before she could speak, Dai Hengxin picked it up and weighed it in his hand, nodding affirmatively, “This is silver.”

Xiao Yingchun was relieved, put away the broken silver and copper coins, pawned the two silver ingots, and left the shop with 20,000 yuan.

On her way home, Xiao Yingchun couldn’t help but think— at this rate, the ghost general would definitely come back for more trades.
