After Ma Hu finished speaking, he looked at Chen Sanchuan coldly, he said it so clearly, look at how he quibbled.

However, he still underestimated Chen Sanchuan's brazen Cheng Dù, "Lingzun Lingtang's things? Why haven't I heard of it? Didn't your family be copied shortly after the founding of the People's Republic of China? I told Lingzun's last words before his death, and I didn't hide a word, but because Lingzun and I lived in the same cowshed, and said that many things in your family have flowed into the people." ”

Chen Sanchuan never expected that Ma Tianlong would tell Professor Jin to give the jade paperweight to Qijin, and he didn't hear any rumors, but fortunately, he reacted quickly and blocked Ma Hu's words back at once.

Is this a death testimony?

Ma Hu couldn't help but look at Chen Sanchuan with admiration, and when he first met him in Shanghai, he thought he was a gentle and elegant intellectual, wooden and pedantic. Wood is pedantic, it is clearly responsive, and his mouth is like a river!

Qi Shufang, who is almost thirty years old, has always been steady in front of her peers, but in front of these old people, she has a little girlish habit and deliberately expresses a little impatience: "Why does Mr. Ma have to talk so much to Professor Chen? ”

Ma Hu is a Hong Kong person, although Qi Shufang believes that there is only one country, but Hong Kong people are indeed very popular in the mainland, once Ma Hu reports the case, the police will definitely go all out.

This is like a foreigner who reports a crime when he encounters trouble in the mainland, and he does not care about his own country, but he does not care about foreigners.

Hearing Qi Shufang say this, Ma Hu immediately agreed: "Good idea! I originally wanted to be private, if I can't be private, then call the police." The relationship between the mainland and Hong Kong should be resolved soon. ”

Chen Sanchuan's face changed.

Chen Lao said bluntly: "Sanchuan! Although it has experienced ten years of catastrophe, the family tree has not been lost, and the gentleman loves money in a good way, this is one of the family mottos handed down by our Chen family, whether you are an official or a businessman, you must abide by this article, and those who are corrupt and bribe-taking, and make ill-gotten gains in business are expelled from the clan, don't you remember?"

Chen Sanchuan was silent, dying and struggling, "I remember, but what does it have to do with me?"

"If you encounter difficulties in life, just tell me, even if you smash the pot and sell iron, I will definitely not give you a bite to eat, but what are you doing now? I thought you were prescient, and you hid things and kept them, but now you ......" Chen Lao sighed and said bitterly: "Why is it that Shufang is so kind to you? I know how many intellectuals have died in the process of labor reform, and the number is shocking. Ma Lao confessed to you on his deathbed that he trusted you, and Shufang believed in your words Until now, who are you worthy of doing this?"

Who is it worthy of?

He doesn't want to live without children and daughters anymore! Even if the current family happiness is based on money, he thinks it's worth it!

Chen Sanchuan's eyes were red, and he roared: "What do you know, righteous words here!"

"Am I righteous?" Chen Lao pointed to his nose and suddenly became angry, "If you are not my brother, I don't care if you do this kind of thing! There is no impermeable wall in the world, do you really think you can hide from the world? If you can hide from the sky and the sea, Mr. Ma will not come to the door! Mr. Ma remembered the friendship between you and Ma Lao who lived in the same cowshed, and decided to go private, but you refused to admit it, do you want to be public, so that your children and grandchildren will not be able to hold their heads up for several lifetimes? I remember that your boss finally resumed his work and entered the office of the municipal party committee, did you want to influence him to get him fired after just a few days of work?"

Chen Lao's words broke Chen Sanchuan's psychological defense.

Seeing that he was a little loose, He Jianguo continued: "Although I am not responsible for inspecting the staff below, the staff in charge of this part is very familiar with me." ”

He didn't mention the threat, nor did he accuse Chen Sanchuan of deception, but said the facts lightly, but such a sentence made Chen Sanchuan look back at him vigilantly, as if he was afraid.

Qi Shufang immediately said: "Professor Chen's son shouldn't know what Professor Chen has done, right? If he knew that his hard-won job was lost because of his father, what would he think?" Chen Yu's selfishness She had heard Chen Ning complain many times, and Chen Ning had a particularly bad impression of this cousin.

"If Professor Chen gives me an explanation now, then I will no longer pursue the previous matter, and I will not publicize it to everyone, if I don't give ......," Ma Hu said very clearly.

Under multiple threats, Chen Sanchuan completely collapsed and admitted the fact that he concealed Ma Tianlong's last words for the sake of money.

The last words are true, omitting only the most important part, which is the whereabouts of those treasures.

In addition, he also omitted some of Ma Tianlong's explanations, that is, the only string of jade pearls in the treasure was left for Qi Shufang's daughter as a dowry, he felt that Qi Shufang would definitely have another life in the future, if he gave birth to a daughter, he would definitely be as cute as Qi Shufang, but he didn't mention the matter of giving seven catties of jade paperweight, only said that Qi Shufang had other children, and he would give them something similar to Chaozhu from half of Qi Shufang's treasure, representing his wishes for the child.

Chen Sanchuan always thought that Ma Tianlong proposed it alone to give it to Qi Shufang's daughter, but he didn't mention the seven catties because Ma Tianlong had already given the nine-eyed dzi to seven catties, but he didn't expect him to tell Professor Jin that he didn't know about it.

Chen Sanchuan wept bitterly.

He was originally a character who did not talk about money, and only read the books of sages, but after so many years of experience, he understood that life without money was very difficult, and if it was not for the gold and silver that Ma Tianlong obtained, they would not be able to live a life with bedding and cotton clothes. He didn't want to live in poverty in his later years, and he didn't want future generations to repeat the poverty day after day and year after year, forever succumbing to the long house, so when he got Ma Tianlong's last words, he decided to sacrifice himself for the benefit of the whole family.

He went to Shanghai in the name of buying and borrowing books, just to pick up this small box of treasures. The treasure was hidden five feet below the stable, and there were also a few gold bars buried three feet above the ground to hide people's eyes and ears.

Chen Sanchuan rented a house at a high price, and it took a lot of effort to get the treasure out.

The moment he saw the treasure, he was shocked, he had never seen so much gold, silver and jewelry, he knew that his hard work was not in vain, that little conscience was also left behind, and sure enough, a gold bar let his son come back with his wife and children, and they were very filial to him.

Didn't he leave his conscience behind after seeing the treasure? Didn't Ma Tianlong lose his conscience after he died?

Qi Shufang pursed her lips, saying so high-sounding, does Chen Yu know? No matter what kind of person Chen Yu is, but how innocent he is in this matter, and the other brothers and sisters bear the notoriety of their father who coveted Ma Tianlong's inheritance because of himself.

What she didn't say was that Ma Tianlong died in the middle of the catastrophe, and it has been five or six years since now, although the activities at that time were not as vigorous as those in the early stage of the catastrophe, but in many places there was still no slackness, that is, the vast number of people did not dare to squander the money in their hands, and most of their lives were in poverty.

She thinks so, but she doesn't say it, she doesn't qualify.

The qualified Ma Hu's idea was not much different from Qi Shufang's, and he didn't bother to investigate what kind of mentality Chen Sanchuan had to steal his deceased father's inheritance.

Under the supervision of Chen Lao, Chen Sanchuan brought a small box with copper on the outside and gold on the inside.

The box was about a cubic foot of space, containing the gold jewelry and jasper utensils that Qi Shufang saw that day, whether the gold jewelry was the number she saw, it was difficult for her to determine, after all, she didn't count how many gems and how many pieces of jade at that time, and the jasper utensils looked like a lot of them, but they didn't take up much space, because a lot of jewelry was stuffed in the pen holder.

The box is about six or seven percent full, and there is three or four percent of space left...... Qi Shufang looked at it, and could stuff a few pairs of paperweights, ornaments, and inkstones, except for the larger size of the immortal phoenix ornaments, and the paperweight was a cuboid ruler.

Ma Tianlong flipped a few times casually, "I didn't expect the old man to be stupid at all, there are really a lot of things hidden." ”

He remembered that the jade pearls for Qi Shufang's daughter, which Cixi wore before her death, although it was full of green, but the color of the water was far inferior to the string that Qi Shufang was wearing now, and he also did jewelry business, in fact, the water of many jade items in the Qing Palace was not of the highest grade, and it was not as good as the current one. However, this string of jade pearls is not a funeral object, but Cixi was rewarded to the red man in front of him before her death, and later fell into the hands of her father, and the fourth aunt begged her father for many times and her father did not give it to her, and then she did not know her whereabouts, and it turned out to be hidden.

After listening to him talk about the origin of the jade pearl, Qi Shufang suddenly realized, she always thought that the jade items in the Qing Palace were a kind of water color and all three, it turned out that it was not, no wonder she had seen a lot of Qing Dynasty jadeite Many of them did not have a crystal clear beauty, that is, the beautiful color craftsmanship was outstanding, like the fairy in front of the phoenix ornament, the phoenix is glutinous, the color is good, the meat is fine, and the graininess is not too obvious.

Chen Lao had never cared about this, he stared at Chen Sanchuan and asked about other things. Even if Ma Hu and Qi Shufang didn't mention it, Chen Lao could think of the expenses of Chen Sanchuan's family during this time, and if he could send things to himself, he would definitely be able to give them to others.

In fact, Chen Lao felt that if Chen Sanchuan could ignore it for the first time, he would be able to ignore it for the second time, and the box was three or four percent empty, and it was difficult to fill the few things in front of him, so what about the missing things? Could it be that he had quietly hidden some of them under irretrievable circumstances? Small things such as gold, silver, and jewelry were easy to hide without knowing it.

Ma Hu was already very content to recover these things, not to mention that he had never coveted his deceased father's things, which stopped Chen Lao's questioning, "Don't ask." The seven catties of jade paperweight promised by my father have been recovered, and the rest that I have not taken back is even Professor Chen's hard work, which is counted in half of my share. ”

He was worried that he would have a lot of dreams at night, and if he forced Chen Sanchuan to jump off the wall in a hurry, he said that the matter was over, which was to give Chen Lao a face, and Chen Lao's face was much harder than Chen Sanchuan's.

Ma Hu didn't plan to stay in the mainland, but He Jianguo and Qi Shufang were here, so it was necessary to stop it properly.

Chen Sanchuan gave Chen Lao what he only took back the immortal phoenix ornament of his deceased mother, and the inkstone and paperweight were still left to Chen Lao, even if Chen Lao refused him in every possible way, he did not take it back.

Ma Hu said this, of course Qi Shufang had no opinion.

Qi Shufang has no opinion, and He Jianguo will not talk much.

Back at the He family, Ma Hu first picked out the jade paperweight and jade pearls, and let Qi Shufang pick more than half of the other things, "Since my father has a last word, I should obey it." Although I don't know how much Chen Lao has spent and how much he has given away, if it is counted on my head, I will leave one-third of the contents of the box. ”

Qi Shufang played with the jade pearl, shook her head and said, "I don't want it." Mr. Ma, please take them all away. ”

"Don't want it?" Ma Hu was taken aback, "Why?" "It doesn't belong to Chen Sanchuan, Chen Sanchuan still stole it, Ma Tianlong's last words were explained to Qi Shufang, but she didn't want it?"

Qi Shufang smiled faintly, her expression was extremely calm.

"I discussed it with Jianguo, and what Professor Chen said at the beginning was true, I just wanted a jade paperweight, which Ma Lao said to give seven catties, and now it is an unexpected joy to have an extra string of jade pearls. Others, no reactive power. ”

Ma Hu frowned slightly, "How can it be said that it is useless? If it weren't for the secret help of the two of you, with the ingredients of the ancestor and what he had done, the years before his death would not have been so peaceful at all." Therefore, even if the late father did not explain, Comrade Shufang, you are still eligible to share a part of the inheritance. ”

Qi Shufang still shook her head: "I can't say that, Ma Lao confessed and let him settle down, but I didn't do it, the person who did it was Mr. Ma, of course I am not qualified to share half of the property." ”

If she hadn't been polite before, now it's not, let Ma Hu do the matter of collecting Ma Tianlong's body!

No matter what Ma Hu said, Qi Shufang still didn't agree to accept it, Ma Hu said that it was his own thank you gift Qi Shufang didn't agree, "When Mr. Ma moved the grave to Ma Lao, he had already given a heavy gift, and I was not polite at that time, I accepted all the brand-name watches and diamonds, and I shouldn't accept the second thank you gift." ”

If she accepts it, won't she be as insatiable as Chen Sanchuan? Even if she accepts it, she is more justifiable than Chen Sanchuan, and no one can find fault with it.

Ma Hu pondered for a moment, and then retreated: "You can't want all of them, Comrade Shufang, if you don't want one, I don't want to go." In this way, you pick a few of your favorites, and then I will give Mr. Lin a pair of paperweights, and I will take the rest back and divide ten equal parts, and find the descendants of the old man's other children and daughters to distribute to them, anyway, my brother and I have no plans to ask for it. ”

Speaking of this, Ma Hu accentuated: "You must not politely choose what you like, give it to those people, it is better to give it all to you, but unfortunately you don't want it." ”

Ma Hu and Ma Tianlong have no father-son relationship, and he doesn't care if the fourth aunt is too much at large, let alone half-siblings.

Speaking of this, Qi Shufang will be a little unkind to refuse.

She pondered for a moment, first picked a red diamond with a particularly good fire and a lot of weight for Xue Feng, then picked a piece of Hetian mutton fat jade for Father He, and then picked a pair of pairs of jade jade pendants for Professor Jin and Granny Jin, and finally picked a palm-sized piece of ice full of green jade, planning to make pendants for her family of six in the future.

"Do you like jade?" Ma Hu nodded with a smile when he saw her, "I have a jewelry company under my umbrella, and I often go to Myanmar to buy goods, if you need it in the future, you can send me a telegram and leave the good goods to you." ”

"Then thank you, Mr. Ma. ”

Qi Shufang felt that even if she bought it, it would depend on the economic situation, if she didn't have money, she would definitely not buy it, and there were many places to spend money in other aspects, besides, the jadeite jewelry she already had in her hand was enough to make her laugh proudly. The most important thing is that even if you buy a lot of jadeite, you can't change it in a day because of your work status.

After the distribution of the inheritance, Ma Hu said goodbye and left the He family, and two days later, the He family said goodbye and then set off for Hong Kong.

Soon after he left, Qi Shufang was about to start school, and she packed her things and prepared to go to the capital.

She folded clothes in the bedroom, mainly spring clothes, after the New Year, the footsteps of spring were approaching, Ping An suddenly jumped in, and stuffed a small embroidered handbag given to her by Ma Hu into Qi Shufang's hand.

"An An, what's in it?"

Qi Shufang asked as she opened her small handbag and couldn't help but be taken aback.

The small handbag contained jewels, and I fell on the bed and counted them, including three oil diamonds, three rubellites, one ruby, two emeralds, an old beeswax, and a three-color bracelet of ice seed with a good water head.

Because it was very casual and not isolated with cotton cloth, the three-color bracelet was scratched by diamonds and lost a few points.

"Where did it come from?" Qi Shufang asked Ping'an, vaguely guessing the origin of these jewels.

Ping'an saw Qi Shufang packing her luggage, she skillfully took out her little red leather shoes from the shoe cabinet and put them in front of the suitcase, hearing Qi Shufang's question, she turned around and said with a smile: "Uncle Ma gave it to me! Uncle Ma is good! Uncle Ma said, when he doesn't come anymore, I'll let my mother keep it for me!

Qi Shufang sighed, she didn't expect Ma Hu to come to this trick before leaving, this is not for herself, but for peace, according to her own ideas, she can't refuse for peace.

He Jianguo learned after getting off work, and couldn't help but say, "It's too polite." ”

Actually, it's all Ma Tianlong's stuff, even if Ma Hu doesn't give it, it's a matter of course, I didn't expect him to do it.

"Let's report back later. He Jianguo said.

"Hmm. ”

The dust has settled on this matter, and it is time to go to the capital.

At that time, the Lantern Festival had not arrived, Qi Shufang returned to the capital and started school not long after, she started school, Qijin and Ping'an also started school, Professor Jin and Granny Jin handed in the translated manuscript, and took care of the two little ones at home.

The days passed as calm as water, and three months passed in the blink of an eye.

Seven pounds of teeth fell out several times, the notched teeth grew out one after another, he loves to be clean, when he saw the buckteeth of his classmates who were two or three years older than him, he endured to lick the gums, and tried to make the teeth grow neat and good-looking, it stands to reason that such a well-behaved child will not have a disease to come to him, how do you know that a classmate in his class has chickenpox.

Chickenpox has an incubation period, for fear of being infected, Qijin's whole class was isolated, Qi Shufang specially asked for leave to take care of him at home, and the whole family was isolated from the neighbors.
