Chapter 39: The Thief (1)

Seeing Qingshu questioning why there were stones in the courtyard, Webster said, "What's so strange about this?" There are often stones in the yard. ”

When Chen's mother heard this, she immediately said, "I swept away the stones and dead leaves in the yard. ”

It was also because Gu Xian was pregnant that she was afraid that the yard would be in danger if it was not cleaned, so she took the initiative to take the errand of sweeping the floor.

Rutong said: "Who can say for sure, maybe you didn't sweep it carelessly." ”

"I finished sweeping the yard and looked at it carefully, and there were no stones or dead branches." The stone dragon eye core on the ground is so big and in the middle, how can she ignore it if she is not old and dizzy.

Qingshu said with an unkind face: "Second aunt, this stone can't fly into the yard by itself." ”

Jiao Xing hesitated and said, "When I saw the third girl coming in from the outside just now, she grabbed a few stones in her hand. ”

called Rudie over and asked, these stones were really brought back from outside just now. When she came back and heard that there were zongzi to eat, she threw the stones away.

Zhang Qiaoqiao hugged Rudie and apologized to Gu Xian: "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, if I were optimistic about Rudie, there would be no such thing." ”

Gu Xian said good-naturedly: "It doesn't matter, the child is still young and ignorant." "Rudie is a year younger than Qingshu, what can you know.

Qingshu didn't give up, looked at Rutong and asked, "Rudie was brought out by you just now." She has so many stones in her hand, don't you know? ”

It's okay to be unintentional, but the most feared thing is deliberate.

Seeing this fire burning on Rutong, Wei immediately changed the topic: "If you listen to me and don't touch that calamity, there will be nothing at all." ”

Gu Xian was so noisy that she had a headache: "Forget it, this matter is over, don't pursue it anymore." ”

Wei snorted coldly: "Sister-in-law, let me tell you, don't leave anything to her." Otherwise, if something happens in the future, you will regret it. ”

A child with a mother is a treasure, and a child without a mother is a root grass, so Gu Xian's death is the deepest pain in Qingshu's heart.

Seeing the anger on Qingshu's face, Gu Xian hurriedly said first: "This matter is over, and my younger brother and sister don't need to say it anymore." ”

She was afraid that Qingshu would say amazing words again, and then it would be a commotion.

Old lady Lin came back and saw the people in the courtyard and asked, "What are all the pestles doing in the yard?" ”

Mrs. Lin hurriedly said: "Chengyu's daughter-in-law slipped down just now, but fortunately, there is no danger." ”

After speaking, Mrs. Lin waved her hand and said, "It's okay, let's disperse!" ”

Back in the room, Qingshu asked Gu Xian: "Mother, you won't believe the words of the second aunt, right?" ”

Gu Xian said with a smile: "We will go back the day after tomorrow, don't take it to heart what they say." ”

Qingshu is relieved. If Gu Xian was tired of her because of this, it would be really useless to cry.

There is a custom in Linjia Village that every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, people in the village will go to the river to put lanterns at night. After putting off the lanterns, you can also make a wish to the river god.

In the past, every Dragon Boat Festival, she had to stay to take care of the house. But now, she can go to the river with Gu Xian to put lanterns.

When we got to the river, there were already a lot of lanterns in the river. These lanterns in the river are made of paper, all in the shape of boxes, and the style is very simple.

Gu Xian put a lotus river lamp with a candle in it. After the river lantern put down the water, Gu Xian closed her eyes and made two wishes. One is to hope that this child is a son to continue the incense for her husband, and the other is to hope that Lin Chengyu can be admitted to the Jinshi.

Qingshu is a Ruyi river lamp, and she hopes to live a happy life in the future.

Lin Rutong saw the beautiful river lantern in the hands of Qingshu's mother and daughter, and dragged the river lantern in her hand to death.

After putting out the river lantern, Gu Xian and Qingshu were not in a hurry to go back. The two enjoyed the night view by the river before going back.

When she returned home, Qingshu began to sharpen her ink and practice calligraphy, while Gu Xian sat next to her and watched her write.

Chen's mother came in and said, "Madam, the water is already boiling, and you can take a bath." ”

Gu Xian nodded and went out.

After writing two large characters, Qingshu put down the brush, washed his hands, took off the longevity gold lock and handed it to Jiao Xing: "Put it up!" ”

Jiao Xing placed the longevity gold lock on the dresser, and then leaned over to place the jewelry box under the dresser.

This jewelry box is divided into three layers. The first layer is placed with small jewelry such as beaded flowers and earrings worn by Qingshu; The second layer is placed with bracelets, necklaces and other jewelry; The third layer is placed with large areas such as collars and other jewelry.

When I opened the first floor, I saw that the plum blossom Xiaojin inside was gone, and Jiao Xing was a little panicked. hurriedly opened the second layer, and Gu Xian's white jade bracelet placed inside was also gone; The red gold collar placed on the third layer is also gone.

Qingshu knew that the jewelry was lost, and immediately ran to the hall.

When he was at the door, he was stopped by Mrs. Qi: "Girl, the old lady and the old lady have already slept, you can talk about it tomorrow." ”

Qingshu shouted, "Grandfather, grandmother, my mother's jewelry has been stolen. Grandfather, grandmother, we need to find this thief quickly. ”

Old Lady Lin looked at Qing Shu and asked with a gloomy face, "What you just said is true?" ”

"Grandfather, how dare I lie about such a big thing. Grandfather, my mother and I have been at home all day today. Those jewels must have been stolen just now. "The house didn't leave anyone during the day, and there was no one in the house during the time I went out just now.

"Take me to see it." This thief must be caught, otherwise he will treat his house as a vegetable field, and he will come and leave as soon as he wants.

When I walked out of the door, I saw Lin Chengzhong's two brothers standing in the courtyard with their wives and children.

Zhang Qiaoqiao grabbed Qingshu's hand and asked eagerly, "Qingshu, your jewelry was stolen?" ”

Tonight, she and Webster stayed at home. To be comfortable, the jewelry was stolen, and the two of them had an unshirkable responsibility.

Qingshu nodded.

Webster snorted coldly: "I told you not to contact that calamity, but you didn't listen, and now you're reaping the consequences." ”

Qingshu really admired her, and in order to shirk the responsibility, he even pulled this matter on the little boy.

Old Lady Lin looked at the empty jewelry box and asked with a calm face, "How much are these things worth combined?" ”

Qingshu shook his head: "I don't know, I have to ask my mother about this." "She only knows the value of her jewelry, and her mother doesn't know.

Gu Xian came over soon. Hearing the old man's inquiry, she turned her head to look at Chen's mother.

Mother Chen took care of Gu Xian's jewelry and knew their value clearly: "This white jade bracelet was given by the old lady on my wife's fifteenth birthday, and it cost one hundred and eighty taels of silver when I bought it, and it has at least doubled after so many years." ”

After a pause, Chen's mother said again: "The girl's plum blossom gold and gold collar are combined, and they are worth about fifty taels of silver. "A tael of gold is worth ten taels of silver. The plum blossom is hollow and has no weight, but the gold collar weighs four or five taels.

I knew that Gu Xian's jewelry didn't look brilliant, but it was actually very valuable. So, this result is not surprising.

Merriam-Webster was a little staggered; "You're not mistaken, are you? My brother and sister's bracelet is worth more than Qingshu's gold collar? ”

Chen's mother explained: "This bracelet of my wife is a high-grade Hetian jade. "Good jade, expensive.

More than four hundred taels of silver in the countryside is definitely a huge amount of money, except for Gu Xian and Qingshu, the rest of the Lin family's faces are not very good-looking.
