Yueping rolled her eyes, immediately reacted, and nodded heavily: "Like!" ”

When she said this, she remembered something, and her pretty face suddenly climbed into the clouds.

Just a few days after Miss was sick, after Mother Zhou and the two mothers-in-law left, she also slipped in and stole a hairpin, which was finally exposed by Miss......

Yueping's mood was very complicated, she didn't know whether to thank the hairpin, maybe it was because of her thought at that time that she got into the eyes of the young lady and lived a prosperous life like now.

Fortunately, she handed back the hairpin in time, otherwise the young lady would not have looked down on her as a thief, and might have handed her over to the government a long time ago.

"If you take mine, you have to return it......" Lan Shuying looked faintly in the direction of Zhou's mother's courtyard, "Call Master Zou, let's go over there." ”

"Huh!"

Yueping understood that the meaning of asking Master Zou to go with her was probably inseparable from force. With the old lady's stingy temperament, she would never hand over those things easily.

At this time, at Zhou's mother's place, Zhou Jing rarely appeared.

The mother and son sat and stood, sighing.

A few small plates of leftovers from breakfast had long since lost their heat on the table.

Mother Zhou touched the plaster on her temples, compared with when Sister-in-law Xiang was still there, she seemed to be more than ten years old, and a lot of white wool was added to her head.

"Son, this family, I'm afraid my mother won't be able to do it for long...... You see that there are so many chores inside and outside here, and the people we raise are as stupid as pigs, and everyone has to let me make up their minds, and I can't rest from morning to night. If you continue to stay up like this, alas, I'm afraid that half of my body has already fallen into the ground, and I can't tell if it will be gone one day! ”

She even cried and howled, and spoke extremely miserable.

Zhou Guo wanted to ask a housekeeper to come back to help with the cooking, but suddenly remembered that Guo was unwilling.

He was silent for a few seconds, and there was a strange feeling in his heart: how long had he not seen Guo's smiling face? That...... Wen Wanli also had a cautious smile.

The impression of Guo Shi was originally an arrogant and naïve eldest lady, she trusted him so much that she believed whatever she said. Later, she broke up with Guo Huaide for him, pulled up her long hair, and became his wife, and she was even more obedient to him.

When did she start to become the way she is now?

Zhou Shi already has a sense of crisis at this time.

He listened to his mother's complaints, but his left ear went in and his right ear went out, and he thought about how to save Guo's heart, so that she could continue to pay for him as before.

Who told him that he just spent a thousand taels of silver for Yiyi, and now his pocket is empty, and he is embarrassed to even invite his friends to eat and drink......

"Are you listening to me?"

Zhou's mother's voice suddenly became stern, startling Zhou Jing.

He coughed lightly twice, and was about to say something good to coax the old lady and don't let her talk any more, when suddenly there was a sound of footsteps, and a brightly colored hem of clothes dangled in the door.

Huh, isn't it?

Zhou Guo recognized that this was Guo's favorite brocade crane pattern red dress, and she came.

He put on a smirk and went up to greet Lan Shuying, but was blocked by Yueping halfway.

Lan Shuying's gaze didn't turn to Zhou Shi's face at all.

She wandered around Zhou's mother's room, and everything she had touched with her fingertips was put into a cloth bag by Master Zou behind her.

The master and servant cooperate tacitly, one recognizes and the other takes.

By the time Zhou's mother reacted, cried and grabbed the ground, and came up to stop them, the cloth bag looked like it was already bulging, and there were at least five antique ornaments in it.

"Put it down! Put them all down, you two robbers! ”

Mother Zhou was so angry that she didn't even recognize it, none of the things they took were what she already had here, all the things she robbed while she was on fire.

"Robbers? This statement is fresh. Lan Shuying turned her head and sneered contemptuously: "Open your eyes and see clearly, one by one, you can tell me, where did they all come from?" ”

With two fingers, she lifted a small ball from the sack.

This is a hollow carved silver incense ball, exquisitely made, showing the pattern of flowers and birds.

Guo Yizhen likes this kind of gadget, but she doesn't use it for spices, she just puts it on the shelf, and when she thinks about it, she takes it in her hand and plays with it.

Mother Zhou squinted her eyes and saw it clearly, and her heart skipped a beat - the thief was arrested at the scene, can she not panic?

Because Guo Yizhen didn't drink the bowl of sterilization medicine, Zhou's mother failed to have a successful seizure, and she was worried many times during this time, for fear that the theft would be discovered by Guo.

It's impossible to go back, Zhou's mother wants to find someone to come over and dispose of the things, even if they are sold cheaply, you must know that most of Guo's things are brought out from home, and most of them are rare treasures.

No capital trading, no matter what, it is a profit.

Wait...... Zhou's mother realized that she had forgotten one thing just now, she came closer to look at this incense ball, and was even more sure that she was not mistaken: this incense ball, she had obviously sold it a few days ago, thirty-six taels of silver, and it was still pressed at the bottom of the box!

Why did you still run back with long legs?

Could it be that Guo bought it back from outside and put it in her yard so that she could design today's "catch thieves and take stolen goods"?

Mother Zhou said with a straight face: "Guo, what do you want to do crazy?" What is this thing, and how is it in my house? She looked at Master Zou and was even more displeased, "You actually brought a foreign man in, do you still have any rules, do you have my mother-in-law in your eyes?!" ”

Lan Shuying didn't pay attention to her second sentence, but clapped her palms, "Yes, it was originally something in my room, how did I get here, I'm also very curious." ”

Zhou's mother pretended to be calm, insisting that she didn't know anything and didn't recognize what it was.

Zhou Guo wanted to help her speak, but he was slashed from behind and fainted.

His body fell, revealing the smug smile of Yueping behind him.

"But I heard a man say that this thing was sold to him by you, and it was set at thirty-five taels of silver, and you are grinding here to add one tael, but it doesn't look like the owner of the poor money, so he remembers it very clearly." Lan Shuying turned around, "Shopkeeper Yan, please come out and confess, did this old lady sell you the incense ball?" ”

A short and fat middle-aged man walked over, just glanced at Zhou's mother and nodded affirmatively: "It's her, that's right!" She was also wearing this dress that day, you see that this dress should also be a rich and noble person, but for so one or two silver, I have been messing with me for a long time, and it is difficult to recognize her! ”

Master Zou looked funny next to him and laughed out loud.

Mother Zhou was still stiff-mouthed, "Who asked you to bring someone back from outside!" This man is talking nonsense, I don't recognize it at all, who sold it to him? Come on, get him out of here! ”

Shopkeeper Yan couldn't help but be annoyed when he saw her attitude.

He took the incense ball, first reported its size and weight, then explained the workmanship and materials, and finally said:

"When this lady told me what happened, I knew who was on the other hand. As I said just now, this is the original craftsmanship of the Lintong Zhao family, and the flower and bird pattern incense balls have only been made ten in total, that, this one, it is a magpie spring, ranking sixth. ”

Shopkeeper Yan deliberately glanced at Zhou's mother, and said in an accentuated tone: "All over the world, it's just this one." ”

Lan Shuying added with a smile: "There are no imitations, if anyone can imitate them, there will not be only one Lintong Zhao family." ”

She didn't expect that Shopkeeper Yan would say so much to slap Zhou's mother in the face, but she was very happy to watch.

"You may not know that I have a bad habit of having my name engraved on any collection I like."

She took the incense ball, opened the reel, and approached Zhou's mother.

Three small characters are spelled out with small brushstrokes: Guo, Yi, and Zhen.

The difficulty of this miniature carving process may still be above the whole incense ball, which really makes this incense ball speak on its own, and it recognizes who its owner is.
