[xi-] Xena is [2] inside the [-an] pawn shop, looking for something 賢 worthy to buy. On top of a 又 folding stool is a 臣 serf that is for sale. Xena buys them for the cost of a single 貝 shellfish and promises to be a 賢 worthy master as she pays at the counter. The 又 folding stool was not included with the purchase, though.
