Xiao Huai's mother was the lord of Changhe, the daughter of the elder sister of the first emperor, and the cousin of the emperor of Ming Qi.

Later, he married into the Xiao family of Xian'an Hou Mansion and gave birth to Xiao Huai.

Therefore, Xiao Huai is also half a royal child, and he is very familiar with the objects in the palace.

Xiao Huai once saw an ornament made of elephant stone at his maternal grandmother, the eldest princess.

It is said that the Emperor Xiantai gave her a gift to the eldest princess when she got married, and it was carefully collected by the eldest princess and was extremely precious.

And the chess pieces in front of me are exactly the same as the material of the ornament.

"It's really like a stone!"

Xiao Huai looked stunned: "Where did this Shen San get so many elephant stones, and he was actually willing to grind it as a chess piece?" ”

Like a stone is precious, but it is not a square circle.

If you want to grind into chess pieces, it costs a lot to find regular jade, and one side can't get a few suitable chess pieces, let alone something like stone.

If you want to grind out these two boxes of chess pieces of the same size and shape, how many elephant stones do you have to consume?

Xiao Huai couldn't help but say: "Does she know that this chess piece is like a stone, and she actually used it casually for us to play with?" ”

Yan Wuge dropped the chess pieces on the chessboard: "I don't know. ”

With Shen Junjiu's temperament, if he knew, he shouldn't have taken it out.

But Yan Wuge couldn't guess for sure, because that woman's mind was too difficult to guess.

But......

Yan Wuge said: "She doesn't know whether she knows this chess piece or not, but it shouldn't be hers." ”

The elephant stone has just been polished, and no matter how carefully it is, the traces on it cannot be concealed.

But this chess piece is round and smooth, and there is already pulp on it, at first glance it looks like a very good jade, almost chaotic, want to play the elephant stone to this extent, to say the least, it will take a few years or longer.

Among the Shen brothers and sisters, the eldest Shen Qingwu is less than twenty, and Shen Junjiu is less than fifteen.

This chess piece looks like it's been around for some years, and it doesn't look like something of theirs.

Xiao Huai came back to his senses when he heard this: "You mean, this is left by Shen He?" ”

Yan Wuge snorted: "It should be in the batch of things she got back from the Song family." ”

"The woman of the Song family doesn't know the goods, and Shen Junjiu may not know it if she hasn't examined it carefully, but thinking that the things that the Ye family took from their brothers and sisters can buy the official road for the Ye family's father and son, and in less than two years, even the two products will be promoted, which must not be a bargain."

"Shen Junjiu once said that these things were left to them by her father, and I think this chessboard is also one of the relics left by Shen He."

Xiao Huai couldn't help frowning when he heard this: "Then what kind of person is Shen He, who actually left such a thing casually, and mixed it with other things at will, and was not afraid of being sent out as an ordinary chess piece?" ”

Yan Wuge looked at the two boxes of chess pieces: "You sent someone to check Shen He before, but what did you find out?" ”

Xiao Huai shook his head: "No." ”

"The people who went came back and said that they had checked Shen He's life, no matter where he looked at it, he was just an ordinary businessman, and he had some talent in business, but he was disliked by the old man of the Shen family."

"After Shen He was kicked out of the Shen family, he started from scratch, and he gained a fortune because he was good at business, but he was only ordinary and rich."

"It doesn't look like you can leave these things behind."

Yan Wuge played with the chess pieces and said, "I'm afraid that someone has concealed the news or covered it up." ”
