I know very little about my mother's mother's mother, the Dugu clan.

My mother never mentioned the matter of her mother when she was alive, or maybe she mentioned it, and I don't remember.

Later, my mother passed away, and the family was even more secretive about it.

A few years ago, when we moved from northern Xinjiang to southwest Biluo, it was the second brother's youthful rebellious period, and for a period of time, he was full of anti-bones, and his attitude towards his father changed from being obedient to being against everything, especially resisting the military road arranged for him by his father.

The second brother feels that the You family, as the first military family of Jing, has been replaced by generals, with outstanding achievements, and countless rewards and praises from the emperors of the past dynasties, if it is according to the father's meaning, he is standing on the shoulders of giants, belonging to the kind of lying down to win, and it is too unfair to others.

Dad told him that he was thinking too much, because as the boy of my You family, although he is the son of a general, once he enters the army, he is no different from an ordinary big-headed soldier, he has to start from the bottom, he must bow down to everything, and he must rush to the front when he goes to the battlefield, just to prevent others from chewing his tongue behind his back and saying that he is engaged in special nepotism.

The second brother didn't do it when he heard it, at that time he was about to tie his hair, he hadn't married a wife, he hadn't tasted the sweet taste of love, and he had time to go out to see the thousands of splendors in the world of flowers and flowers in the future, how could he lick life on the tip of the knife so bloodily?

Dad was very angry, he felt that the second brother's remarks were simply a great insult to the ancestors of the You family, as the descendants of the You family, it is fate to defend the country and die on the battlefield, it is the responsibility and the meaning of existence, how can there be a second way to choose?

The second brother defeated his father with a word, saying, "That's your responsibility, not mine." ”

My third brother and I squatted outside the window of my father's study for a long time, and finally heard my father sigh: "What you said is very true, you can go." ”

Since then, Daddy seems to have realized that he is no longer strict with his three brothers, and his requirements have been lowered from making meritorious contributions to honoring his ancestors to enjoying himself and being happy in time.

So my second brother began to devote himself to his own business, but at the beginning, there was a financial gap, and he turned to me and my third brother for help. My third brother and I both felt that it was amazing that he could make my father let go of his obsession with a mediocre word, and both generously donated and took out their own New Year's money to him as start-up capital.

The second brother was very moved, and expressed his determination to the two of us that he would work hard and down-to-earth, and he would live up to the trust of the two of us, and went to Myanmar to pick up a stone the size of a round table.

My third brother and I circled around the ugly stone for eighteen times, and it was really difficult to see the mystery, and I felt that even if the stone was used to carve tombstones, it would have to add a lot of labor costs.

The second brother smiled but did not speak, the next day in the most prosperous area of the city set up a ring, put the strange stone on the ring, the strange stone has treasures, in order to set up a gambling stone, one to pay three, this move came out, the whole city was in an uproar, the people all said that the second son of the Yuan Hou family was stunned, take a broken stone as a treasure, everyone bet that it was just an ordinary stone, sure enough, a knife down, the stone is colorless and waterless, worthless.

The second brother didn't panic, and even increased the stakes to ten to one, if it weren't for me and the third brother on the side, he would probably bet on the merits that my ancestors of the You family exchanged for their blood and bones. The people lamented that the descendants of the You family were defeated while happily raising the bet, and the third brother calculated and told me that if the second brother lost, the seven generations of the descendants of the You family would be able to pay off the debts by making cattle and horses.

On the same day, the second brother invited a total of five craftsmen to open the strange stone, the scorching sun was in the sky, the five people sweated profusely and did not open anything ugly, they persuaded the second brother to give up, the second brother was still obsessed, until the stone was cut to only the size of a stool, I and the third brother were about to sneak home to pack up the soft run, the stone suddenly cracked, emitting a colorful light, as brilliant and dazzling as a rainbow, everyone was blinded by the dazzling light, only then did they realize that it was a piece of colorful jade rough stone!

The second brother's tense nerves relaxed at this time, and the third brother and I looked at the mountains of silver taels and silver tickets, and were frightened by the people who lost and cried and cried to the side, feeling that although the second brother won, he would inevitably be beaten to death by his father for illegal fund-raising and oppression of the people.

But things didn't go the way I had hoped. The second brother immediately announced that the colorful water jade would be molded into a Buddha statue and sent to the largest temple in Biluo City, and the people's money was equivalent to the loan for his business, and it would be repaid twice as much after a year.

The third brother and I both gasped, and felt that although the second brother had just set foot in business, he had already learned to empty gloves and white wolves, and he was really cunning.

When the father came with a fierce horse and threatened to break the second brother's leg, what he saw was that the people took the IOU and happily persuaded him to let the second young master stay at home, and they wanted to be compensated three times more than the second young master's successful career.

Of course, a year later, the second brother paid off all the debts and let them obediently spend the money in his shop.

Later, the third brother and I were very curious about how the second brother knew that the stone was a water jade rough stone, or a colorful water jade that happened once in a hundred years, and the second brother said that he didn't know, but the strange stone came from the Dugu clan.

The Dugu family has lived in seclusion in Liuyun Mountain at the junction of Myanmar and Jingqian for many years, and is a treasure appreciation stone master, and has passed down the treasure appreciation stone cheats from generation to generation, and most of the stones they fancy have strange jade.

As for how the descendants of the Dugu clan would give a strange stone to the second brother, the second brother said that it was probably because he looked similar to his mother.

I disagree with the third brother, from childhood to adulthood, only me and the third brother are similar to my mother, where is he like my mother?

The second brother said: "Probably the hair will split ends?" ”

The third brother and I rolled our eyes, and the second brother smiled: "Wealth is in danger, this is it." ”

Later, my third brother and I went to Liuyun Mountain with my second brother, wanting to find the Dugu clan and learn about my mother's family, but we never encountered it again.

However, the second brother has a natural perception of jade, others think it is a waste stone, but he has repeatedly opened priceless gemstones, which shows that his bloodline has the treasure appreciation ability of the Dugu clan of Liuyun Mountain, so the mother's mother is the real hammer of the Dugu clan of Liuyun Mountain.

Who knew that after arriving in the imperial capital, Xu Rongchan said that her mother was actually the old department of Modi, which was really confusing.

Now that I am facing this cousin who appeared out of thin air, I really don't dare to rush forward to recognize each other, so I can only show the unique reserved and noble smile of the famous lady of Dijing to hide the embarrassment in my heart.
