The housekeeper of the Du family invited Xia Jizu over again, Xia Yuanding thought, grandpa has already missed class twice, what is more important than teaching his grandson to become a talent. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Fifth brother, I'll test you!" Only Yuan Jie was beside Xia Yuanding, and the others had disappeared without a trace.

Xia Yuanjie put down the brush in his hand and listened.

"Which one is the richest and most powerful in our village?"

Hearing this question, Xia Yuanjie rolled his eyes, and made a gesture to pick up the brush and continue to practice calligraphy, but Xia Yuanding hurriedly stopped him.

"I'll answer this question, it's the Du family!" Xia Yuanding had no choice but to speak, and then asked, "Then do you know who the Du family is now?" ”

Xia Yuanjie blinked, went through the Du family in his heart, and felt that there was nothing missing, so he had to answer this simple question, who knew that this time Xia Yuanding began to make trouble again.

Before Xia Yuanjie opened his mouth, Xia Yuanding hurriedly said: "This is actually not important, there is no need to answer, in fact, I want to ask you, is there anyone in the Du family who is the same age as us?" ”

One, two, three, Xia Yuanjie blinked, and after confirming that Xia Yuanding had shut up, he said slowly: "As far as I know, no!" ”

"Got it!" Xia Yuanding fell into deep thought and no longer paid attention to Xia Yuanjie.

In the treetops, the thrush chirps, calling to its other half. I only heard a "bang" sound, and the birds that were still in pairs on the trees had already flown away in shock.

"Next time you look at me, your bullet is too crooked!"

"Speaking big, you are not as accurate as me, and you will live up to our comparison next time!"

"It's better than it, you still lose!"

As soon as Xia Yuanding heard the voice, he knew that this was not the second cousin, why did they come back at this time.

But it didn't take long for Xia Yuande to come in and say, "Yuan Jie, Yuan Ding, Yingxue, look what we brought back this time!" ”

After Xia Yuanding looked over, he found that he put his hand into the clothes in front of him, and he didn't take it out at all, wouldn't it be another guess, this is not creative.

Fortunately, Xia Yuande couldn't help it, and after several people's eyes looked over, he couldn't help but take out the things.

Under the sun, this shining thing is nothing else than a fine jade pendant.

Just by looking at it, Xia Yuanding was very sure that this thing must be very valuable.

"This looks like a very valuable jade pendant, how did you get it?" Xia Yuanding hurriedly asked.

"Is it worth a lot?" Xia Yuanming asked cutely.

"Jade pendant, then we really found a treasure!" Xia Yuande hurriedly said excitedly.

"Did you really pick it up?" Xia Yuanding asked lately.

"I didn't pick it up, I also threw a big heel at the time!" Saying that, Xia Yuanchu also showed the scratches on his body, and he was injured.

"If this is sold, how much will it be sold?" Xia Yuanjie looked at a few people and asked.

Everyone shook their heads, saying that they didn't know, and finally looked at Xia Yuanding together, and the most knowledgeable person here may be him.

"I don't know the specifics!" In a word, everyone was a little disappointed, but then Xia Yuanding said again, "If it is a real jade pendant, but there will always be one hundred and ten taels of silver!" ”

"One hundred and ten taels!"

"There are one hundred and ten taels!"

"Is there really a hundred and ten taels?"

They don't say it, their hearts are already turning over at this time, this is a windfall!

Unlike them, Xia Yuanding's heart is mixed, why is this good opportunity not his, is this fate! As for whether the jade pendant is real or fake, Xia Yuanding's suspicions are a little redundant, and it is not easy to fake in this era.

Xia Yuande began to tell about the thrilling treasure exploration journey of their three brothers, and he could only use exaggerated movements to describe how difficult it was to find the jade pendant, and it was rare that the rest of the people still listened to it with relish, plus Yuan Ming and Yuan Chu added oil and vinegar to the side, so it was not lively.

"Okay, I'll go out for a walk, you better wait for grandpa to come back and ask him!" With a trace of loneliness that was not seen, Xia Yuanding walked out of the door.

"Yuan Ding, what's wrong?" Xia Yuanming asked.

"Regardless of him, let's go on, Yuan Chu ran in front but fell to the ground, let's hurry up and help, it's this time......" Xia Yuande said with a smile on his eyebrows.

"I heard them say that it seems to have been found in the red earth at the foot of the mountain in the west, next to a big white stone, and a plane tree, and a small ditch next to the flowing water in the west, I will go and see if there is a chance!" Xia Yuanding thought as he walked, he had basically determined the location, and he wanted to try his luck.

"Xia Yuanding, stop for me!" Halfway through, a female voice behind him shouted his name, and when he heard this voice, Xia Yuanding not only did not stop, but ran away.

Who else, my sister Xia Yingxue, always wants to see him to death, and she can't escape from her nose for a moment.

"Didn't you come out with it, why was it glued now!" After running for a while, his strength couldn't keep up, Xia Yuanding could only give up, and he muttered in his heart at the same time.

"Yuan Ding, you can't run yet, what are you running, there is a ghost in your heart!" Xia Yingxue was also a little panting after chasing, her cheeks were a little red, she put her hands on her laps and asked.

"Sister, why do you keep following me, I can't come out to breathe!" Xia Yuanding said helplessly.

"Don't want to get me, it's almost to the West Lotus Pond, and I don't think I'm following, you don't follow me every day when you're three years old, it's annoying to death, say quickly, what do you want to do!"

After explaining his intentions, he had to take his sister to take a look.

Everywhere they went, there were undulating hills, with ravines stretching from the foot of the mountains to the far plains. In the small river ditch, there is also mountain spring water flowing clearly.

The big white stone, the plane tree, should be here.

"Yuan Ding, is this it?"

"It's here, let's do it!" Xia Yuanding decided to do it.

Unfortunately, they didn't have any tools, so they had to dig little by little with branches.

Not here!

Not here either!

Here, just broken porcelain pieces!

Is there only one jade pendant, as soon as he thought of this, Xia Yuanding felt that this effort might have been in vain.

Just when he thought he couldn't find it, his sister suddenly said: "Yuan Ding, come here, there's a little thing here!" ”

Hearing this, Xia Yuanding hurriedly went over to look, and when the things were taken out, Xia Yuanding saw that it was a pendant.

It's not like jade, it's red and white, but it's very delicately carved. For a while, Xia Yuanding couldn't confirm what this thing was, after all, he was not an expert in treasure appreciation.

After washing it in water, although the material is not confirmed, it should be worth a lot of money.

After the harvest, Xia Yuanding seemed to suddenly have some strength, and he dug up even harder.

But knowing that the sun was setting, they never found anything of value again, and in desperation, they had to return in vain.

When I went back, I saw that several cousins had not returned home yet, and my grandfather had already returned, and judging from their expressions, I should have made a windfall this time.

"Why did you come back, you know what grandpa said, that jade pendant is a treasure, it can be used as dozens of taels of silver!" Xia Yuande couldn't wait to say.

"Isn't that great?" Xia Yuanding said.

"It's not just very good, you know that our family's annual income is only a few taels of silver, and dozens of taels of silver are worth our income for more than ten years!" Xia Yuande said with some intoxication.

Xia Yuanding looked at his cousin who was a little unlearned, and lamented in his heart that fate was really unfair, how could they play every day and get rich all of a sudden.

Of course, these dozen taels of silver are to be divided equally between the second and third uncles, but even so, each family also gets a lot.

Thinking about it, the second and third uncles sighed and said that they couldn't build a good house, I'm afraid that this word will be a thing of the past tomorrow, and it will not be providential to drink and peck?

But the thing they dug up, do you want to show it to grandpa, Xia Yuanding thought about it, he didn't want it, he said it slowly, and then took it out when he really used the money.

Today, Xia Jizu has encountered a happy event, even if the piece of jade is going to fall on the second and third sons' families, he is also happy.

Some people say that happiness is sad, but Xia Yuanding saw his grandfather's ugly side, because his grandfather was very happy and wrote a poem.

But in Xia Yuanding's view, this poem is on the same level as limerick poetry, which is a bit derogatory, but it is really an ordinary poem with no artistic conception, philosophy, and interest. Maybe Xia Jizu is still knowledgeable, but he is not good at poetry.

In this way, day by day, they are finally able to return home, Xia Yuanding is also looking forward to it, is there a big bed in his dreams?
