Qiao Lixi felt that Magnolia was similar to Manju Sawah, the flowers did not see the leaves, and the leaves did not see the flowers, but the Magnolia did not give people the same sad feeling as Manju Sawah.

Maybe the white is too dazzling.

Cocking her fingers, Qiao Lixi picked up a magnolia flower from the brocade box, and her face changed slightly.

Is it jade?

There was some surprise.

Three magnolia flowers of different shapes - budding, blooming, and blooming.

The whole flower and leaf are crystal clear, only at the bottom of the flower there is a light red, the finishing touch, like a dream.

"This is carved by Hetian jade, Hetian jade is not difficult to find, but this kind of leaves can be carved out of magnolia flowers without extra inlay, which is not easy. Miss, you see, these three magnolia flowers come from the same piece of Hetian jade, such a large Hetian jade is not easy to find, not to mention the red in the middle of Hetian jade, not only to be evenly distributed, but also to have the same color concentration, otherwise, carved out, maybe which petal will not have this red. ”

Qiao Lixi pouted.

With Gu Jinzhen's turtle hair and pursuit of perfection, what else can he not find?

"Is this expensive, or is red coral expensive?" Qiao Lixi asked thoughtlessly.

Mama Shen deliberately glanced at her.

Qiao Lixi explained uncomfortably: "I don't want to be compared to Qiao San, if this is not as expensive as red coral, I will directly reward people." ”

"This old slave doesn't know, but no matter how expensive red coral is, it can always be found. But this kind of Hetian jade can be said to be one in a million, and I am afraid there is no similar one in the world. ”

It is really rare to find a finished product that can be carved so vividly without destroying the whole and not inlaying other objects.

"Then I'll rest assured," Qiao Yixi put the "magnolia" back into the brocade box with satisfaction.

"Miss, Tong Bin is dead." Mama Shen's sudden words, Qiao Lixi's movements in her hands paused.

"Dead? When was this? ”

"Last evening, the Tong family suppressed the news, and it is estimated that there is a problem."

"What about our people?" Qiao Yixi asked.

"It's all guarded, and the news was handed over there, saying that Tong Bin was messing with the maid in the middle of the night last night, and he died suddenly, and it is estimated that he had a wind immediately."

"Heh, it's actually cool to die, dying on a woman's stomach." Qiao Lixi blinked gloatingly.

I don't blame her for being so resentful.

Tong Bin was there, she had been stared at for a long time, and before she could do it, Tong Bin actually died, wasting time.

"What's the maid's name?"

Mama Shen nodded appreciatively, and the little lady grasped the key point at once.

"The maid is called Chunjiao, it was bought back by the Tong family, and she was originally a rough maid in the outer courtyard, with a bit of color, and was favored by Tong Bin, and when Mrs. Tong and the master went to the countryside to see the spring silkworms, they took the house."

"Whose people?" How could there be such a coincidence, a rough maid entered the young master's face at once.

"I haven't found this yet. Chunjiao arrived at Tong's house, and she never went out of the door, let alone contacted people outside, at least, the people we monitored didn't find out. ”

"It's kind of a way." Qiao Lixi rubbed her jaw, "If you're dead, you're dead, he won't live long anyway, let the people who are guarding there come back." ”

Who let Tong Bin be Qiao Jinwen's lackey, she almost ruined her innocence last time, she originally wanted to teach Tong Bin a lesson, but she didn't expect someone to do it first.

Tong Bin, I have offended a lot of people.

Qiao Lixi no longer pays attention to the affairs of the Tong family, and it doesn't matter if he Tong Bin is an accident or retribution, it has nothing to do with her.

It's just that she still keenly discovered Qiao Jinwen's soul.

It's not hard to understand when you think about it.

Qiao Jinwen and Tong Bin were in cahoots, who knew what the two had done in secret, Qiao Jinwen was worried that Tong Bin's death would cause more trouble, so she was uneasy.

In fact, it is.

Tong Bin secretly helped Qiao Jinwen do a lot of things, don't look at the two of them are not young, but they have a lot of thoughts. Especially Qiao Jinwen, it has always been smooth sailing, whether it is at home or in the clan study, she is the object of everyone's praise, if anyone carelessly presses her, she will try her best to get it back.

In this way, Tong Bin comes in handy.

Therefore, Qiao Jinwen is the most concerned about the cause of Tong Bin's death.

The Tong family also announced Tong Bin's death after two days of concealment.

Qiao Lixi guessed that the people of the Tong family must have thoroughly investigated the cause of Tong Bin's death in the past two days, and there was no abnormality, so they unwillingly accepted this fact.

As for Chunjiao, Mama Shen mentioned it, as if she had run away from the firewood room.

Now that's interesting.

Tong Bin is the only seedling of the Tong family, and when he dies, the Tong family has no successor.

Master Tong is the son-in-law of the door, and he has no right to speak in the Tong family, and after Tong Bin's death, he has no use in the Tong family except for becoming the target of Mrs. Tong's anger.

Tong Bin's coffin was still placed on the mourning hall, and the Tong family's relatives were asking about the succession.

Like the Qiao family, the Tong family's relatives are also in the countryside, otherwise, how could they do the business of spring silkworms?

Over the years, because of the business with the Qiao family, the relatives in the countryside have been taken care of, so every time they return to their hometowns, the Tong family has the pride of returning to their hometowns, and it is also very important among the relatives.

No wonder these people are in a hurry.

The Tong family's industry may not be anything in the eyes of the big family, but in the eyes of the Tong family, it is just a piece of fat, and if you can take up such a large fortune without hard work, who doesn't sharpen your head and want to squeeze in?

Tong sneered.

It's one thing for her to be willing to take care of these people, it's another thing for these people to forcibly take them from her.

What she gave them was what she was willing to give, and over the years, these people had made a lot of money by relying on the cocoon business, and compared with the people in other villages, they were also rich.

Planting mulberry trees, raising fish ponds, not working at sunrise and sunset, not working in the fields under the scorching sun, only need to feed the silkworms, and some people come to buy silkworm cocoons, so to speak, they are sitting and counting silver. Now, with a big appetite, I dare to think about her industry!

The sorrow in the corner of his eyes was still there, and Tong said with a smile: "My son's bones are not cold, and I haven't thought about the succession." ”

"That is, this matter should not be rushed," the patriarch stroked his beard and said, "Go back, I will see if there are any suitable candidates in the clan, and when the time comes, I will give you the list." ”

"The patriarch is afraid that he has misunderstood," doing business outside all the year round, the Tong clan is not as twisted as an ordinary woman, and her speech is not only straightforward, but also very strong, even to the patriarch, she is also very confident, "I didn't want to inherit from the clan." ”

"If you don't inherit from the clan, then where do you inherit from?" The patriarch was immediately dissatisfied, this was clearly a provocation to his authority in the clan, "Passing from the outside? The people outside are not surnamed Tong! ”

Tong smiled, "Why don't you have the surname Tong?" My son naturally and my surname. ”

"There is no blood of the Tong family in his bones!" The patriarch roared angrily, and everyone in the mourning hall was excited.

Master Tong opened his mouth, but he didn't say a word.

Tong smiled disapprerovingly, "If the patriarch thinks that my step-son does not have the blood of the Tong family on his body, it doesn't matter if he is not allowed to go to the family tree, my step-son is raised by his side and will inherit my family business in the future." ”

What does it have to do with genealogy?

No roots?

Hehe, as long as you have money, you are afraid that you will not be able to form your own line, and it is not difficult to set up a clan by yourself, as long as you go to the government for the record.

"Tong Hui, are you going to break away from the Tong clan?" The patriarch was the first to react, and in a fit of anger, he called out Tong's name.

Tong smiled, "The patriarch misunderstood, my father is still here, how can I say that if I break away from the Tong clan, there is not only my father's name on the family tree, but also my name." It's just that now that my son's bones are not cold, the patriarch has said about the succession, how can I feel comfortable? Moreover, what I said earlier was also well thought out, I really want to inherit from the outside, no matter whether he has the blood of the Tong family or not, as long as he is on the family tree, he is a member of the Tong family, and he will inherit my family business in the future, and he can also take care of the clan. ”

"Shoko, what do you mean?" The patriarch said this to Tong's father.

Seeing that Tong's oil and salt did not enter, the patriarch simply discussed it directly with Tong Xiang.

Tong Xiang's eyes rolled around, and the old god was chirping on the ground.

It was a good feeling that all eyes were on him.

When the shelves were enough, Tong Xiangcai said slowly: "Old patriarch, you also know that I have long been out of business, and Hui'er has the final say in the affairs of the family." ”

"You ......" The patriarch glared at Tong Xiang with hatred, and the latter didn't even lift his eyelids.

"Okay, Brother Bin is leaving, these things, we will discuss them later." The patriarch did not take Tong and Tong Xiang's attitude seriously.

As long as they are still members of the Tong clan, he has a way to manipulate them.

Asking for a de-clan?

How can it be so easy!

As long as they don't nod their heads, don't think about getting rid of the clan!

Coming out of the Tong family, the old patriarch's face was ugly.

"Big brother, what should we do?" The old man, who had a facial resemblance to the old patriarch, asked.

"When I go back, I will draw up the list, and try to choose from the two of us, preferably with a smart brain, a boy of seven or eight years old, whose parents are wooden and honest, and easy to handle."

It's too stupid, Tong can't look down on it, after all, he wants to cultivate and inherit the family business.

At the age of seven or eight, I can already remember, no matter how much Tong raises him, he may not be able to raise it well.

The child's parents are honest and wooden, and they stay in the countryside, so they can handle it, and if it comes from their side branches, the relationship is close, so that the things that the child pulls back will pass through their hands. Besides, their biological parents are in their hands, so they naturally have to honor them and ask them to help take care of them more.

When the Tong clan went, those properties did not fall into the hands of the Tong clan in the end.

"That's how cheap that slut?"

The patriarch smiled, "How can it be so cheap, the spring rain has been flowing these days, and the silkworm house has not had time to be repaired, who knows when, the silkworm house will leak rain?" ”

The undercurrent of the Tong family, Qiao Lixi didn't know, at this time, she was sitting in front of Mrs. Qiao's bed, with Mama Gong's chatter in her ears, and the busy figure of the house doctor in front of her.
