Lu Yunfang's hand stove is very exquisite, made in the shape of a pumpkin, made of brass, divided into two parts.

The lower part is round and thick, and is used for carbon; The upper part is made into a hollow 'good news three-yuan' pattern, which is used as a lid to facilitate smoke exhaust and ventilation.

There is also an embroidered warm sleeve with cotton on the outside, which is made according to the size, and the furnace body is tightly wrapped and there is no redundancy.

The shape of the hairpin is very special, the side looks a little wishy-washy, in fact, it is the shape of the plum branch, but one end is the point, can be inserted, the other end is a handmade very delicate plum blossom, even the petals on the lines and the core are clearly visible, the diamond, is in the center of the plum blossom.

But for ease of access, the hairpin is not placed in the front of the box, but is embedded in the velvet sideways. Xia Xiaodong looked at it at a glance and felt that even if there was no diamond, this hairpin was quite good.

When I looked at it carefully, sure enough, as Lu Yunxin said, one of them was slightly dented, and it seemed to have been bumped.

Xia Xiaodong took the hairpin, gestured twice on the hand stove, and said with a smile: "It seems that it's just bad luck." ”

"What does that mean?" Everybody looked at it.

Xia Xiaodong showed it to everyone: "You see, the picture on this hand stove is a magpie standing on a longan tree, and there are three big and round longans hanging on this branch. ”

This is exactly the pattern of the good news three yuan, everyone naturally understands.

"Oh," Xia Xiaodong pasted the dent of the hairpin on the trunk of the longan tree, "If it hits it like this, then the hairpin's head will be stuck here." As he spoke, his slender fingers pointed at the petals at the top of the hairpin, which were on the beak of the magpie.

"The gold is soft, so it hits and breaks, because it is stuck, and then I pull it twice, I am afraid that the diamond on it will fall."

If you fall down, of course, you will fall into the hand stove.

In this way, everyone thinks it is quite reasonable. The hairpin is both branches and leaves and petals, and many places spend it. The hollow pattern on the hand stove has many gaps, and the gaps are quite large in some places. Sure enough, if you do, it's normal to get stuck.

Su Su was overjoyed and said repeatedly: "Thank you, Miss Xia!" Thank you, Miss Xia! It must be so! ”

He said hatefully to Ah Qi: "The girl's hand and foot stove are all in your hands, why don't you hand over the diamond quickly!" ”

Xia Xiaodong is not bad at all in these places, the two maids have collided, and they both admit it, Aqi's face turned white, and he only muttered: "The slave didn't take it, didn't take it." I was just walking well, and she bumped into her......"

Later, even the slave forgot to call herself.

Lu Yunfang's face was a little ugly, she had been protecting Su Su before, but she had just placed the mistake on the head of Guizhi. Now that she is getting around, although it is not Su Su, it is still her maid who took it, and naturally her face is a little unbearable, and she said coldly: "Eat cheap goods inside and outside!" Drag her down first, strip her clothes and search for it! Check out all her stuff again! ”

Ah Qi suddenly collapsed to the ground. Originally, her father was also an official, and she grew up in fine clothes and food, so she naturally knew the rules. Nine out of ten slaves and maids who have been stripped of their clothes will not end well - they have lost the slightest bit of dignity, and then they will naturally become more and more wanton and misbehaved.

Lu Yunxin pursed her lips, didn't look at Ah Qi on the ground, and only smiled proudly at Lu Yunzhi: "I have to talk to Gui Zhi when I go back, now that the water is out, there is no need to deduct her monthly money." In the future, it is good to be on an errand. ”

Seeing that another maid came over on the side, ready to pull Aqi away with Su Su, Xia Xiaodongqi said, "What are you doing?" The diamond is long gone, what else to find? ”

Without?

The thing belonged to Lu Yunfang, so naturally she was most concerned, and immediately asked, "Just now you said that it fell into the hand stove, why did you say that it was gone?" ”

"If you drop it in the hand stove, it's gone." Xia Xiaodong looked at Lu Yunfang inexplicably: "Of course it was burned, it turned into smoke, it flew, it was gone." ”

Is this the ruin of the legend?

How is this possible?! Including Lu Yunzhi, everyone showed expressions of disbelief, and Lu Yunfang looked like he was looking at an idiot.

The strongest reaction was Su Su, who was pulling Ah Qi's arm, turned his head suddenly, forgot about his humility, and shouted directly: "How can it be burned!" Real gold is not afraid of red furnace fire, there is so much fine carbon in this hand furnace, even gold can't be burned, let alone diamond! ”

Diamond is obviously much harder than gold, and this Da Chu people know it!

"Yes, it can't burn gold, but it can burn diamonds." Xia Xiaodong smiled and said, "Believe it or not, it's up to you, I've already said it anyway." ”

Xia Xiaodong's statement goes against common sense, right? Lu Yunzhi looked at Lu Yunxin, Lu Yunxin looked at Lu Yunfang, and Lu Yunfang frowned.

Although I feel that Xia Xiaodong is not right, after all, he is a guest, and it is always not good to blame the guest. The three girls of the Lu family were very embarrassed.

Su Su was in a hurry, she took the girls' expressions as suspicious.

Regardless of whether it can be found in the end or not, as long as it is determined that the diamond was taken by Ah Qi, the main fault lies with Ah Qi, and Su Su only bears secondary responsibility.

But if the diamond is burned, then the main fault goes back to Su Su - she is responsible for holding the golden hairpin, and if she doesn't take it well, the diamond on it will fall into the hand stove, of course, she should be responsible.

"Girl," Su Su still knew a lot about Lu Yunfang's jewelry, and suddenly said: "Girl, do you remember, there is a ruby bracelet with a few small diamonds, and now I don't wear it much." Why don't you take one down and try it. Always convince this little slut! ”

As he spoke, he stole Aki viciously.

When she said this, Lu Yunfang also remembered it. The bracelet was because of a few small diamonds in the accessories, somehow dropped two, I wanted to make up for the rubies, but then I put it down and didn't pay attention to it, if I dismantled it again, it didn't have much impact, so I nodded at the moment.

Su Suden rushed away, and after a while, he pulled the big girl who was now in charge of jewelry and came over with the bracelet.

Although Ah Qi didn't believe it in his heart, he had two points of hope, and he had some strength, got up from the ground, and shivered to bring a small piece of hot red carbon over a copper plate.

The diamond, the size of a millet grain, turned into a very fine trace of green smoke in the blink of an eye, and disappeared without a trace.

Is it really gone?

This time, it was Su Su's turn to be dumbfounded, and he used the iron chopsticks in his hand to turn over and over the piece of carbon, hoping that the diamond was too small, and he might lose it with a shake of his hand.

"Can you really burn it?!" Lu Yunxin was very surprised, and looked at Xia Xiaodong with great admiration: "Sister Xiaodong, you really know everything." ”

"Ahem," Xia Xiaodong coughed twice embarrassedly: "This is one thing descending from one thing." Although diamond is harder than gold, it is indeed very afraid of fire. ”

Lu Yunzhi suddenly sighed: "I remember that two years ago, the old lady had a diamond ring, but somehow, the diamond on the top was missing, and several people were sent down at that time." Couldn't it have been accidentally burned? ”

Well, this kind of old thing, Xia Xiaodong is not interested in participating in it.
