The girl jumped up and down in front of Chen'er, and the two ponytails were like the tails of a white rabbit that had jumped off.

She chuckled softly, and then said, "Uncle Cousin, you can call me Xiaolan." ”

Chen Er nodded, "Well, Xiaolan." ”

Xiaolan stopped at the door of the patriarch's room when she sent Chen Er.

She bared her snow-white teeth, "It's not convenient for me to listen to your conversation, just let my cousin go in by himself." ”

After saying that, he jumped and left.

Chen Er pushed open the door, and the patriarch was sitting at his desk reading a book.

The patriarch coughed lightly twice and beckoned Chen Er to come over.

Chen Er gave a general account of what happened in the ancestral hall.

The patriarch didn't have any expression.

He just closed the book in his hand, grabbed Chen Er's hand, turned his palm over to the ground, and gently wrote in Chen Er's palm.

This time, the patriarch wrote the name that had just not been written.

By the way, he drew an arrow in Chen Er's palm, pointing to the west side of the room.

The patriarch raised his eyes and looked slowly at the door.

Chen Er turned his head and saw a figure projected on the window.

Chen Er gently hooked the corners of his mouth, stood up and walked to the door.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Shui Chenze standing at the door.

Shui Chenze looked at Chen Er quite intentionally.

Chen Er said, "The patriarch has already told me where the things are, and I will go and get them now." ”

Shui Chenze retracted his gaze and showed a very displeased mask expression, "If you want to take something, you still have to talk to the elders in the ancestral hall first." ”

Chen Er narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at Shui Chenze carefully, and then said a word slowly, "Okay." ”

Chen Er and Shui Chenze returned to the ancestral hall.

When the elders of the clan learned that what Chen Er wanted to get back was just a box, they all breathed a sigh of relief, and no one questioned it.

One of the older elders waved his hand to Shui Chenze to fetch something, he thought that Chen Er was not familiar with the terrain here, and it would be better to send his own people to fetch things.

Chen Er took a step forward and said loudly, "It's better for me to go and get it with my cousin." ”

When Shui Chenze heard the title of cousin, he couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, and the expression on his face was almost not tightened.

He paused before he asked Chen Er coldly, "Where is the thing?" ”

Chen Er grinned, "The east wing of the house in the west." ”

Shui Chenze took Chen Er to the west to find something.

There were also a few members of the Water Clan who followed.

Shui Chenze obviously has a lot of prestige among them, and there are many mansions in the west, and it takes time to find them one by one.

Shui Chenze asked them to disperse and find a place for each person.

"It's a box from the last year, and it should have the name of the great-grandfather on it."

In order to show respect, these juniors will call Chen Er's great-grandmother a great-grandfather.

According to the rules of the Shui family, there will indeed be marks such as my name on the dowry.

Shui Chenze sent the others away, and began to follow Chen Er to find something inch by inch.

Chen Er walked into a secluded courtyard and first took a look around, where there were many peach trees.

He walked around a peach tree and into the east wing.

The room was dark, and when you opened the door, you could see the smell of decayed old wood.

It's obviously uninhabited for a long time, and it's in the middle of nowhere, so it's rarely cleaned.

Chen Er stretched out his finger and touched the table by the window, and a thick layer of dust rubbed on his fingers.

Shui Chenze was about to spare his energy to stare at Chen Er, and at the same time, he had to search around.

Chen Er was also looking around, but he didn't seem to be very serious.

After a while, Shui Chenze found a half-used box on the top of the cabinet.

He took the box down and found that there was very little dust on it, and it didn't look like anything in the room at all.

He handed it to Chen.

"Look at this."

Chen Er took the box, first blew the dust on it, then carefully looked at the patterns on it, and then touched a circular mark on the bottom of the box.

There is a small word "Rong" engraved there.

It is indeed the name of the grandmother.

Chen Er smiled and said, "Okay, I found it, let's go." ”

After saying that, he turned around and walked out.

Shui Chenze showed a sneer in the room before leaving with Chen Er.

Chen Er said, "Now that Grandma's dowry has been returned, I won't bother much......

"But, won't my cousin go into the ancestral hall to worship?" Xiaolan was still sitting in the same position and playing with the nine rings in his hand.

Chen Er was a little moved.

But an elder who was quite angry hurriedly spoke out to stop it.

"His surname is Lu and not Shui, so he is not qualified to enter the ancestral hall to worship."

Xiaolan pursed her lips and did not speak.

Chen Er was also silent, and the scene was suddenly a little embarrassing.

At this time, a middle-aged man who looked more amiable answered, "It's better to stay here for one night before leaving, it's almost dark now." ”

Chen Er came back to his senses and nodded, "Okay." ”

Then he thought for a moment, and said, "Then I'll live in the house on the east side, which is close to here, and saves me trouble." ”

Xiao Lan raised her little face in the orange sunset and smiled at Chen Er, the light in her eyes was very bright.

Chen Er stayed in the east side of the house that night.

He wiped down the box he had found, placed it on the table, then turned off the lights and waited quietly until late at night.

It was very quiet around, he took the box, quietly reached out of the door, and flashed into the next room with his dexterity.

After he entered, the two men came out of the shadows and talked in low voices.

Shui Chenze's face was expressionless, "She didn't guess wrong, the box Chen Er got today was originally fake!" ”

Shui Dongjun was puzzled, "But the patriarch did draw a west-facing arrow in the palm of his hand at that time, isn't it telling him that things are in the west?" ”

Shui Chenze glanced at Shui Dongjun coldly, so that Shui Dongjun couldn't help but lean back.

"The patriarch has long known that we are spying on him, according to his scheming, how can he tell Chen Er directly."

"And I found the box today, and it looks like it was just a few days after it was put in."

Shui Dongjun was silent at this time.

After a while, Chen Er came out with an identical box again.

He looked left and right before returning to his room with the box in his arms.

Shui Dongjun asked Shui Chenze softly, "Is he dropping the bag?" ”

Shui Chenze took a step forward slightly, and only half of his body was left hiding in the darkness.

"Of course, that's why he stayed on purpose and asked to stay here."

"However, if he can replace the real thing, we can change the fake one back again."

As soon as Shui Chenze's body moved, he quickly ran to the house, then dodged in, and quickly took a box out.

Then he walked softly to the door of Chen Er's room.

From his bosom, he pulled out a transparent test tube containing a lilac liquid.
