Chiba Keiko held the fruit plate and looked at Ye Qianzhong sitting in the courtyard, as if he had aged a lot overnight, the hair on his temples was already gray, and the complexion of the whole person was also very bad.

But she doesn't care about all this, today is the last day of the deadline given by her father, if she can't get the sixteenth brocade, then her father will really do what he says and let her apologize with death.

Chiba Keiko pinched the fruit plate tightly, her eyes were fierce, gradually eased, she relaxed her strength, and walked towards Ye Qianzhong with a smile on her face.

"Father-in-law, eat some fruit."

Chiba Keiko put the fruit bowl in front of Ye Qianzhong, squatted down and pounded Ye Qianzhong's legs.

Ye Qianzhong slowly opened his eyes, and his whole person's spirit looked very sickly.

"I don't have much appetite." Ye Qianzhong held his cane and looked at the sky, only to feel very muddy.

He never imagined that one day he would become like this.

Ye Qianzhong was stunned, nostalgic for the time when Su Wan had just married into the Ye family, and the days at that time were really good.

Chiba Keiko looked at Ye Qianzhong with a stunned expression, his eyes were slightly downcast, and he opened his lips and said: "Father-in-law, now the things in the cloth village have been almost handled, and several large orders have been resolved." Father-in-law, does that sixteen brocades really exist? ”

Ye Qianzhong's eyes lowered slightly and looked at Chiba Keiko.

Chiba Keiko smiled unnaturally, "Father-in-law, I didn't mean anything else, I was just curious, plus someone came to the cloth village to ask these days, so ......"

"So, do you want to meet it?" Ye Qianzhong answered, his tone was calm, and he couldn't hear any emotion.

"Huh?" Before Chiba Keiko could react, she saw Ye Qianzhong standing up on crutches.

"Father-in-law." Chiba Keiko hurriedly stood up and hugged Ye Qianzhong, her tone excited, "You, you really want to take me to see the Sixteen Brocades?" ”

Ye Qianzhong nodded, "Let's go." ”

——

The afternoon sun lazily sprinkled on the branches, falling on the dappled ground.

The carriage listened steadily in front of the gate of the splendid cloth village, and the guys in the store hurriedly went to inform Zhuang Zhou when they saw this.

"Father-in-law, slow down."

Chiba Keiko helped Ye Qianzhong to get out of the carriage, looked up at the cloth village, and Chiba Keiko was happy in her heart.

Sure enough, the sixteen brocades were hidden in this cloth village.

"Sir."

Zhuang Zhou walked out of the store and looked at Ye Qianzhong respectfully.

"Hmm." Ye Qianzhong replied and looked at Chiba Keiko, "Let's go." ”

Chiba Keiko nodded and supported Ye Qianzhong, "Father-in-law, slow down." ”

Zhuang Zhou followed, but was stopped by Ye Qianzhong.

Ye Qianzhong looked at the deserted shop, only a few guys were still sticking here, and he couldn't help but think of the lively appearance of Buzhuang when it was at its peak, and he was very melancholy for a while.

Ye Qianzhong sighed, "You all go back." ”

The guys looked at each other, dazed.

"Master, you are," Zhuang Zhou was puzzled.

Ye Qianzhong's eyelids drooped, and he raised slightly, "I'll give you a holiday today, go back and rest, and the salary will be settled." ”

The guys are even more dazed, this good end is a little abnormal on vacation.

Zhuang Zhou thought that there should be too many things happening at home recently, so the old man was in a bad mood.

"Pack up your things and go back." Zhuang Zhou waved his hand at the guys.

The guys responded, "Yes, thank you, sir." ”

With that, the men packed up their things and walked away in a few moments.

Only Zhuang Zhou was left in the cloth village, as well as Ye Qianzhong and Chiba Keiko.

"Sir." As soon as Zhuang Zhou was about to step forward, he was stopped by Ye Qianzhong's crutches.

"I'm talking about you, too." Ye Qianzhong's eyelids raised slightly, and his eyes looked at Zhuang Zhou calmly.

Zhuang Zhou saw Ye Qianzhong's calm appearance, and for some reason he was faintly panicked in his heart.

"Let's go." Ye Qianzhong continued.

Zhuang Zhou had no choice but to respond, nodded, turned around and walked out of Buzhuang.

There are only two people left in the cloth village, Ye Qianzhong and Chiba Keiko.

Chiba Keiko looked at the empty cloth village, the corners of her mouth hooked slightly, she didn't expect this Ye Qianzhong to be so cautious in doing things, no wonder she was in the cloth village for so many days, and she couldn't find out the news of the sixteenth brocade.

Ye Qianzhong turned around and walked in through the side door, and walked through the verandah to the account room.

Chiba Keiko looked at the account room, she had already figured out any corner of the cloth village in these days in the cloth village, but she never found the mechanism, it was difficult to hide here in the sixteen brocades.

Chiba Keiko looked at Ye Qianzhong and turned the white jade bottle on the shelf, and the shelf against the wall moved towards it, revealing a secret door. Keiko Chiba was secretly surprised, she didn't expect that she would hide so secretly.

Ye Qianzhong glanced at Chiba Keiko, "Bring a candle when you come in, it's dark here." ”

As he spoke, Ye Qianzhong walked in on crutches.

Keiko Chiba hurriedly took the candle on the table and walked over, deliberately remembering the placement of the white jade bottle.

Behind the secret door is a long staircase, which gets darker the further down the stairs.

Ye Qianzhong stopped, and when he saw Chiba Keiko following, he took out the key and opened the lock in front of him.

Keiko Chiba lit the candle hanging on the wall, and the hallway lit up, and it became clear that there was a huge door in front of them.

Chiba Keiko looked at the key in Ye Qianzhong's hand and secretly thought of a way.

Ye Qianzhong pushed open the door and walked in.

Chiba Keiko followed closely, it was very dark inside, and Chiba Keiko lit the candles on the walls around her to see the overall layout of the dark room.

There are dozens of shelves inside, all of which are placed with fabrics, and it can be seen that these fabrics are all of the best and very precious and rare.

However, these are not sixteen brocades, Keiko Chiba can be sure.

Ye Qianzhong glanced at Chiba Keiko, then sat on the chair and pointed to the box in front of him with his cane

"Sixteen brocades are there, you can see for yourself." ”

Chiba Keiko stepped forward excitedly when she heard this, thinking that there would be multiple protections, but it was just a wooden box, and she didn't even have a lock.

Chiba Keiko couldn't wait to open it, and there was only one letter inside, where was there any sixteen brocades.

Keiko Chiba picked up the letter, and it was written 'My son opened in person'.

"Father-in-law, are you fooling me?"

The taste of empty joy was unpleasant, and Chiba Keiko looked at Ye Qianzhong in annoyance.

Ye Qianzhong's eyelids lifted slightly, but his gaze fell on the letter in Chiba Keiko's hand.

"Sixteen brocades do exist, but the Ye family has long stopped making them." Ye Qianzhong sighed faintly, "This letter was written to me by my father, and the imperial court was still alive at that time."

"Stop!"

Chiba Keiko is anxious, the day is about to be given, and the time given to her by her father is getting closer and closer, where does she still have the leisure to listen to stories.

"Father-in-law, I just want to know where the Sixteen Brocade is!"

Ye Qianzhong's eyelids raised slightly, looked at Chiba Keiko's eager appearance, and said calmly: "No, the sixteen brocades were destroyed as early as thirty-four years ago." ”

"Father-in-law, are you kidding me?" Chiba Keiko was surprised, "You really think I don't know, the sixteen brocades are the honor of your Ye family, or the source of your wealth." Otherwise, with the ancestor, I am afraid that he will not be able to fall into today's family business. ”

Ye Qianzhong's eyes were cold, and he looked at Chiba Keiko, "You really came here for a purpose, blame me for not seeing through you when I was blind for a while!" ”

Chiba Keiko hooked her lips and smiled, "Father-in-law, don't say that, as long as you hand over the sixteen brocades or the method of making the sixteen brocades, I will still serve you as before." After all, the Ye family is now dead, and the coma can only rely on me. ”

Ye Qianzhong sneered, "Even if the Ye family is all dead, they will never rely on you, a foreigner!" ”

"Father-in-law, you will definitely regret saying this now. Here, sooner or later, it will be our territory, I think you are still obedient and obedient, saying that you can't still leave a way to live and live for the rest of your life. ”

Ye Qianzhong got up, "You just dream of it, you want to turn this place into your thing, but I'm afraid you don't have the ability." ”

Ye Qianzhong walked to the shelf on crutches and carefully touched the fabric on the shelf.

Each one was carefully crafted when he was young and poured all his heart and soul into it.

"It's a pity......" Ye Qianzhong sighed faintly.

Chiba Keiko looked at Ye Qianzhong with a melancholy face, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, "Father-in-law, I advise you to know the times and be a good man, and give me the sixteen brocades, I can guarantee you peace for the rest of your life." ”

Ye Qianzhong smiled, "Relying on the craftsmanship passed down from the ancestors to survive, what is the difference between this and betraying the country to seek glory." ”

Ye Qianzhong looked at Chiba Keiko, his eyes were different, and his expression was serious, "Let me tell you, our things, even if they are a stitch and a thread, you don't want to take them, let alone occupy them!" ”

Ye Qianzhong raised his crutches and knocked down the hanging

Candles hung on the wall, the candles fell on the shelves, the cloth burned, and instantly burned into a piece.

"You, you madman! What are you doing! ”

Chiba Keiko looked at the burning shelf behind Ye Qianzhong, and hurriedly ran towards the door, but she couldn't find the mechanism to open the door at all.

"Key, key......" Keiko Chiba turned to look at Ye Qiankun, "Give me the key!" ”

Ye Qiankun is calm and steady.

"Don't bother, the keys were thrown out when I just came in. This door can only be opened from the outside, and cannot be opened from the inside. ”

Ye Qiankun turned to look at the raging fire, and the corners of his mouth rose, "The gold is wrong and the sword is white and jade, and the light shines through the window at night." The husband has not made fifty achievements, and he is independent of the eight wildernesses.

Jinghua made friends with all the strange people, and lived and died together in the same period. The thousand-year-old history is shameless and nameless, and a piece of Dan is grateful to the Son of Heaven.

Erlai came to the army in Hanbin, and the Nanshan Xiaoxue jade is rugged. Alack! Although the three households of Chu can die in Qin, how can there be no one in China? ”

Ye Qiankun laughed, laughed for himself, laughed for his life, he lived too hard in this life, finally, he can stand up once and be an upright Chinese!

"Crazy! You're a madman! Help, help—"

As the sun set, Chiba Ichiro stood on the pier, looking at the crowd with an ugly face.

"Master, Yejiabuzhuang is on fire, Miss, I didn't come out."

Chiba Ichiro's eyes sank, and he made a decision in a moment.

"Get on board!"
