Before Chen Siyu began to popularize the relevant knowledge about the family treasure to her first right-hand man, she first made her vow never to pass it on, and then slowly made a tirade: "Our Chen family has a magical jade, called 'Thousand Years of Water Sinking', which is a rare treasure obtained by my ancestors by chance. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoIts long history is no less than that of the Warring States Period, but it has been buried for a long time, and it is not as famous as the Washi Bi. Back then, my Chen ancestor relied on him to make his fortune and established Mingbi Villa. It is the lifeblood and business vein of our Chen family, and the key to the prosperity of our Chen family. In the past, there was a folk song in the West Lake area: Hangzhou has two treasures, and Chen Jiabao, the jade of West Lake. In order to protect Shui Shenbi, the ancestor once lied to the outside world that the jade was stolen and his whereabouts were unknown, and then after a long time, people gradually forgot about it, and no one mentioned it again. This is the secret of our Chen family, I told you today, I regard you as a member of my Chen family, and now you should know that no one can replace your position in Mingbi Villa. ”

Xiao Hongye nodded solemnly, and then said in surprise: "Since this matter is a major secret of our family, and even I, the Chen family, don't know about it, how did this Lord Yugu know?" Miss's words were like a warm soup in the cold winter that warmed her heart, and she could finally use such a friendly word as "our family" without hesitation.

"I think he probably heard it, and he can't be sure whether the Chen family has such a piece of jade, so every time he comes to dinner, he will intentionally or unintentionally mention a few words, as if he is testing the truth and applying grandpa's words."

Xiao Hongye still didn't understand and continued to ask: "It's strange, this Master Si has also stayed in the capital, and he must have read countless treasures, this son is like a gluttonous cat, eager to get a piece of 'hearsay', if the Chen family doesn't have this thing at all, wouldn't he just be a monkey fishing for the moon - busy in vain." ”

Chen Siyu smiled incomprehensibly: "Alas, Master Si is going to gamble, and the gamble is the fate and future of the rest of his life, but it is worth it." ”

Xiao Hongye scratched her ears and cheeks, as if she didn't understand the implied meaning of her words at all.

Chen Siyu was not in a hurry to uncover the mystery, so he patiently led the other party all the way to discover the mystery by himself: "Let me give you a hint, although there is heaven and Suzhou and Hangzhou, although Hangzhou is the land of fish and rice, there are many opportunities for promotion as a Beijing official in the local government." And if I'm not mistaken, in half a year it will be the Prime Minister's birthday. ”

At this point, Xiao Hongye suddenly opened, she clapped her hands and shouted: "Oh, Lord Si wants to use our family's treasure as a birthday gift to bribe the Prime Minister, so that the Prime Minister can transfer him back to the capital." ”

"Yes, that's exactly what he's happing for." Chen Siyu confirmed her guess, "The prime minister doesn't look down on ordinary ordinary things, but this legendary treasure itself has three points of mystery and three points of legend, and its value is naturally not ordinary." When the time comes, he will add oil and vinegar to the water and boast about it, once the tenon is right, he can really make a steady move in one fell swoop. ”

Xiao Hongye shouted angrily: "This old fox is really hateful. ”

It happened that Bai Linglin came back and knocked on the door: "Miss, dinner has arrived." The two looked at each other tacitly and stopped the conversation.

Chen Siyu personally opened the door of the account room, uncovered the lid of the food basket in Bai Linglin's hand, leaned over to sniff it, and said with a smile: "It's really fragrant." ”

She then covered the food basket again, but instead of taking it, she walked straight out: "Thank you for your hard work, but let's go to the front hall to eat." Don't procrastinate anymore. I'm going to inform that Master Si categorically that we don't have anything he wants in our family, and persuade him to die early. ”

At the dinner table, she took the initiative to talk about the "thousand-year-old water sinking", which made Si Yugu very excited, but when she sighed that the jade was stolen and her whereabouts were long gone, he couldn't hide his disappointment. Since that night, the frequency of his visits has suddenly decreased, but Chen Siyu knows in his heart that this does not mean that his enthusiasm has been completely extinguished.

After a period of time, Bai Linglin found that Chen Siyu often secretly went to a cellar in the west of the villa, and stayed for a long time.

One evening, Chen Siyu mysteriously avoided everyone in the mansion and called Bai Linglin to the door of the ice warehouse of Mingbi Villa to let the wind blow, and told her that if there was any trouble, she must shout loudly to inform her. It took a long time for her and Xiao Hongye to quietly come out of it, and she saw that there was an extra box in both of their hands at the same time, one large and one small, both of which kept seeping water outward, and there was a trace of water vapor.

The three of them returned to the two or three pavilions, Chen Siyu asked Bai Linglin to guard the door, and the two secretly returned to the room. Xiao Hongye rushed into the inner room first, put the box on the table, kept rubbing her hands, shivering with cold, she asked intermittently while putting her hands in her hands: "Miss, what is in your box, it's not hot yet, will it be early for you to get so many ice cubes and put them in the house?" ”

Chen Siyu pressed the edge of the door with his toes, and the door closed smoothly. She handled it gently, not at all like Xiao Hongye who threw the box on the table casually. She put her box away, and did not reply, but turned around and pulled the curtain behind her, revealing a row of large rosewood wardrobes against the wall. She opened the second wardrobe, there were six or seven large drawers neatly arranged from top to bottom in the wardrobe, she reached out and pulled open a drawer that was the same height as her shoulders, Xiao Hongye stretched out her head and glanced at it, there were no rare treasures in the drawers, nor did she fold clothes and quilts, but a layer of oilcloth with thick cotton wool.

"You put the ice cubes in the box around the drawer, leave it in the middle of the drawer, and I'll put the contents of the box in." Chen Siyu said to Xiao Hongye.

After Xiao Hongye did what she ordered, her hands were red from cold, and she hurriedly arrived at a cup of hot tea and held it in her hand.

At this time, Chen Siyu's box opened, a transparent cup made of crystal was displayed in front of her eyes, her eyes widened as if she suddenly saw the light in the dark, the crystal cup was soaked in half a cup of water, and there was a piece of jade the size of a third of a palm in the clear water, although the jade was not big, but the carving was very delicate and exquisite, the color was exquisite and clear, and the wall of the crystal cup was almost integrated with the clear water and the crystal cup.

The middle of the jade is empty, there are two finely carved carp on the left and right, the fish pattern is immersed in the water, with the fluctuation of the clear water, as if swimming down from the jade, shaking the head and tail as if alive.

"Ah" Xiao Hongye was surprised when he saw this scene, and he was excited, and wanted to reach out into the water to touch it. When her fingers touched the water, she stabbed her bones like a cold stab, and she snorted again, as if she had been pricked by a needle. Instinctively, she quickly withdrew her finger and took it in her mouth. His face was a painful look.

Chen Siyu chuckled, pulled her hand out of her mouth, and turned it over to show her: "Your hand is not bleeding, but was stabbed by the cold." As she spoke, she took the quilt with hot water in her other hand and pressed the bottom of the cup against the wound on her finger.

"This thousand-year-old water sink is taken out of the cold ice under the ten thousand feet, and there is a lot of cold air locked in it, and it must be sunk into the cold water.

The fingers were better, Xiao Hongye's interest rose again, she lowered her head and circled around the crystal, and said in surprise: "This is Shui Shenbi, it's so beautiful, it's amazing, no wonder Master Si wants to get it with all his heart, it's really a good baby." ”

Chen Siyu took out the crystal cup, put it in the middle of the ice cube in the drawer, sighed and said, "Although the baby is good, it is not forgotten by the thief." Ever since I made it clear to Master Si, I was very uneasy and always afraid that something would happen. Check in the freezer every day for fear of making a mistake. But it's still inappropriate to think about it, and it's better to put it in the freezer than to keep it around. Just ......"

She turned around and said to Xiao Hongye apologetically: "The water can't see the light, it can't be heated, and only when it is put in the cold ice can the cold air in it not leak out." You must know that the invisible cold in the water sinking is the real treasure, often smoke this cold air, can prolong life, strengthen the body, and once the water sinking is broken, all the cold into the heart of the person can bring the dead back to life. So you have to remember to change the ice every day in the future. ”

Xiao Hongye took over this secret task without hesitation.

The days passed lightly, and in the afternoon, the people were all guilty of spring sleepiness, yawning lazily, squinting their eyes, leaning against the door panels and walls, and shaking their heads up and down.

Xiao Hongye is a diligent and idle person, she patrols up and down in the Zhuangzi, and disciplines the sluggish girls and little girls to obey, but as soon as she leaves, everyone immediately reveals their original form, and they start to find a place to nap again.

In this drowsy environment, except for Xiao Hongye's subordinates, I am afraid that only Bai Linglin is left, continuing to be energetic and sticking to her post, and the whole person is full of energy, as if she has been beaten with chicken blood. Since she was re-recalled to Zhuangzi by Chen Siyu and promoted, in order to keep this decent and promising job in the outside, she changed the principle of only doing her part well in the past, and ran around all day long, busy up and down, jumping around, and hardly stopping for a moment. Her dedication and diligence have been recognized by Xiao Hongye, she has to admire Miss's ability and vision to see and use people, whenever she praises her without hesitation in front of Miss, Chen Siyu just smiled and said nothing.

Since Bai Linglin wanted to perform, Chen Siyu naturally wanted to give her a chance, a new task was issued, she hurried to the kitchen, took two bowls of chicken liver millet porridge, a bowl of white rice, a plate of chrysanthemum fish, a plate of sauce shrimp slices and a plate of snowy bean paste cakes, and placed them on the small square table in the wing.

Chen Siyu saw that the thickly boiled slightly yellow rice porridge was decorated with a few slices of chicken liver, and the rice fragrance was wrapped in the aroma of meat, and the combination of meat and vegetables complemented each other, which was very attractive. I took two sips from this bowl, and then buried myself in the needlework on my hands. Someone knocked on the door frame softly, she stopped in her hand, looked up, the corners of her mouth opened a smile, and two playful little tiger teeth hung in her mouth like two small lanterns: "Yo, busy man, how many layers of floating slaughter have you built today?" ”

Lin Risheng hung a medicine box on one arm, dressed plainly, without half decoration on his body, and was no different from an ordinary Jianghu lang. Although his face was covered with dust and fatigue, his expression was full and content.

Chen Siyu put down the work in her hand, skillfully took the medicine box on his shoulder and hung it on the wall like a wife welcoming her husband's return, patted the dust off his body, welcomed him in, and poured water for him.

Lin Risheng looked at her busy inside and out, and was a little embarrassed: "Don't be busy, I'll come." You are also a young lady, and you still need someone to serve you on weekdays, so you can serve me there. ”

Chen Siyu pushed another bowl of rice porridge in front of Lin Risheng, smiled sweetly, and said with a red face in a low voice: "You fool, I am happy to serve you." ”

"What did you say?" Lin Risheng didn't hear clearly, and asked rhetorically.

Chen Siyu spit out his powder tongue and said with a smile: "Drink it quickly, it shouldn't be fresh after a while." Tell me about those places you went to today and how many patients you treated. As she spoke, she picked up the needle and thread in the sewing basket again and sewed it.

This is the moment that Chen Siyu looks forward to the most every day, she sits on one side of the table, Lin Risheng sits on the other side of the table, she bows her head to do her needlework, and he lowers his head and chews his food. There was no eye contact, no physical touch, only voice, like a whispered tune, humming this short and quiet time.

The warm and warm spring light caressed her cheeks with golden fingers, and the light floral fragrance of her body fell softly on the black hair on his back. His voice was like a babbling stream, clear and long, flowing through her ears and tickling her heart.

She twisted the thin thread and tied a dead knot, suddenly interrupted Lin Risheng's words, and said with a smile: "You stand up." He obediently put down the chopsticks in his hand and stood up in front of her, who was still sitting, and put his hands on his waist to tie a freshly made sachet. (To be continued.) )
