Old man Xuan is different from before, Ma said this before, and he also had some hope, but now he went to the town, looked at the porcelain shop, and then went to the capital to see Xuan Miaoer's flower shop, he knew too well in his heart, if he wanted to live a good life, relying on these three sons, it was impossible.

"Don't always think so well about painting cakes for yourself to satisfy your hunger, how old are the third, fourth, and fifth children? Have they been given fewer opportunities over the years? Which one can make a difference?" Old man Xuan, this is not leaving any hope for the Ma family.

The corners of Ma's mouth moved, her eyes felt very hot, she wanted to cry, she wanted to endure it, but she couldn't hold back, and the tears still fell: "Old man, don't you want this home anymore?"

Old Man Xuan sighed: "If you don't want it, you have to ask for it, but I understand too many things, family affairs, I don't care about it in the future, you don't care about me, I want to go wherever I want." ”

Although Ma's heart was cold, he also knew that at least these people were still a family, and if something really happened, he couldn't ignore it.

Suddenly, Ma noticed the white jade ball in Old Man Xuan's hand again, this is the capital to turn over, she thought about it, and asked Li Qiaolian to help herself scare the kang and go to Xuan Wencheng's house.

When he arrived at Xuan Wencheng's house, Zhang helped Ma to get on the kang: "Mother, why are you here, you can call me over if you have something." ”

Xuan Wencheng was originally lying on the kang, but he also sat up at this time: "Mother." ”

Ma sat on the kang and looked at Li Qiaolian: "Qiaolian, you go out and wait for me first." ”

Li Qiaolian nodded and went out, but she kept an eye on it, this was sure that something was wrong, and she went around to the back window to listen to what was being said inside.

Ma Shi saw that there were no people in the house who were not worried about him, and said to Xuan Wencheng: "Third child, your father is becoming less and less interested in us now, and his heart is on your eldest brother's side. ”

Zhang didn't have to think about it to guess what it was, it was the pair of white jade balls.

Xuan Wencheng actually guessed a few points, but he deliberately didn't say: "Mother, what chance?"

Ma Shi whispered: "Your father got back the pair of white jade balls, I think how can you have hundreds of taels of silver, so the third child, you go to the town to find the fourth child, you two take this white jade ball to the pawnshop in the town, ask how much it is worth, this thing is expensive, it is not safe for you to hold it alone, the fifth child has bad legs and feet, or should you three of you together." ”

Xuan Wencheng thought of this, looked at Ma Shi and asked: "But mother, if my father knows, this matter will be big, and if he wants to split up, it will be a big deal." ”

Ma also has a plan in his heart: "You two take this white jade ball again, find a custom-made shop, and spend some money to order a pair of fake ones that are exactly the same as this one, and when the time comes, we will adjust the package, and your father will not find out so easily." ”

Xuan Wencheng still admired Ma at this time, but the abacus in his heart also played louder, because he couldn't let the two brothers in the town take advantage of it.

Of course, it should come down now: "Okay, I'll go to the town, and you can figure out how to get my father out of the white jade ball during the day." ”

Ma nodded: "You go, I have a way." ”

Xuan Wencheng hurriedly got up, dressed up and went to town.

Ma asked Zhang to help him back to his house, pretending to chat with Old Man Xuan.

Li Qiaolian understood the cause and effect, this jade ball was brought back by Xuan Miao'er for the master, how could it be cheap for those wolf-hearted people, so she hurriedly went to Xuan Wentao's house.

Xuan Miao'er had explained before that if there was something and she didn't want the elders to know, then tell Li Mengxian that Li Mengxian had a way to send the news to her as quickly as possible, so Li Qiaolian saw that no one was paying attention at home, and hurriedly went out to Xuan Wentao's house.

Li Mengxian happened to be holding the child and was going to her mother's house for a walk, and she saw Li Qiaolian as soon as she went out.

Li Qiaolian called Li Mengxian to the base of the wall, told her about it, and asked her to send a letter to Xuan Miaoer, she is a grateful person, and she doesn't want Xuan Miaoer to have a loss.

Li Mengxian hurriedly responded: "I know, you go back quickly, don't make people suspicious." ”

Li Qiaolian didn't say much, and hurried back.

Li Mengxian hurriedly called someone to deliver a letter to Xuan Miaoer.

After Li Qiaolian returned home, Ma didn't find anything, and instructed her to steam a chicken cake for Old Man Xuan, saying that she was afraid that Old Man Xuan would be hungry.

Li Mengxian knew that there was something wrong with Ma's, who was okay to steam a cake in a pot, isn't it a waste of firewood, and besides, this is the same as the big summer, and the fire is not afraid of heat at noon.

But now that the news has been sent to Xuan Miao'er, I don't have any worries, just do what Ma said.

Xuan Wencheng arrived in the town first, and went directly to the porcelain shop, and Xuan Wenxin saw that he didn't have a good face: "Why is the third brother here?"

Xuan Wencheng doesn't have time to talk to Xuan Wenxin now: "Fourth, my mother has something, let you go home, let's talk on the way." ”

When Xuan Wenbao saw that Xuan Wencheng was coming, he was also curious about what was going on, so he hurriedly came in and listened, but when he heard Xuan Wencheng say that he would only let Xuan Wenxin go back, and there was something to say, how could he not be in a hurry: "Third brother, what's the matter? So mysterious?"

Xuan Wencheng just didn't want to tell Xuan Wenbao, let him guess, and let him be anxious: "There's no time, hurry up, wait for the fourth child to come back and let him tell you." ”

Xuan Wenxin hurriedly told the Wang family to be optimistic about the shop, and he followed Xuan Wencheng out.

On the way, Xuan Wencheng told Xuan Wenxin about this, Xuan Wenxin was very happy, if this thing can be worth two hundred taels, then he can buy the current shop, and when the time comes, he will repair it well, and this will be his home in the future.

So Xuan Wenxin happily followed Xuan Wencheng and walked back: "Third brother, why didn't my mother let the fifth child go back for this matter?"

"My mother is afraid that the fifth child will not have good legs and feet, and she will bump it again when she walks in a hurry, and her mother is not thinking about the fifth child when she is in her heart. Xuan Wencheng never forgot to instigate.

Xuan Wenxin still believes this, because the Ma family originally spoiled his youngest son: "When does my mother always favor the fifth brother." ”

"That's not it, we're all affected all the time. "Xuan Wencheng is rare to have the same heart as Xuan Wenxin, and now when the two of them are for the same purpose, it is really a lot more harmonious.

"This time, the two of us came out to do this, so we know the real price, don't we?" Xuan Wenxin looked at Xuan Wencheng halfway through speaking.

When Xuan Wencheng came out, he thought: "That's certain." ”

The two brothers are really like a pair of brothers now, and what they said is really affectionate, as if the previous hatred is gone.

Li Mengxian's people here also sent the news to Xuan Miao'er, Xuan Miao'er thought about it, or directly asked Qianmo to drive the carriage to Qianfu, now Hua Jiye has been in Qianfu, this matter is still discussed with him After worrying about it, anyway, Xuan Wencheng and Xuan Wenxin have to go back to the village to go to the white jade ball, and when they come back, they have to go to the pawnshop in the town to estimate the price and go to the stone shop, and there is a lot of time.
