It's one thing not to want to see Li Lanpei, Chen Shuang is busy, this is still true, Chen Shuang was sick for half a month before, Chunyan couldn't be busy, so he accumulated a lot of needlework, and not long after that, it was the New Year, sacrificing New Year's greetings, visiting relatives and friends, and almost didn't make Chen Shuang tired and sick again.

Seeing that he had some free time, Chen Shuangchuan dragged the sewing basket out, sat by the window and slowly sewed up, looking up from time to time at the little sparrows that fell in the yard to feed, but he felt clean.

At the same time, I suddenly heard someone shouting in the yard, Chen Shuang went out to see that it was actually a mother-in-law surnamed Bao in the He family, she and the man in her family were in charge of procurement, and Chen Shuangchuan often asked her to buy some needlework ribbons and the like, which was not too raw.

"Mama Bao is here." Chen Shuangchuan smiled and asked Mrs. Bao to sit down.

Bao Pozi waved her hand, didn't sit down, took out the package, and said, "I'll send it to the second girl later, don't be busy with the fourth grandmother." ”

Carefully calculated, today should be the day of the market, I want to come to Bao Pozi this time to go out to buy a lot, Chen Shuang will not be forced, he took the needle and thread happily, and settled the account.

When she sent Mrs. Bao out of the yard, she also specially asked about He Jinbao's whereabouts, saying that the fourth young master also asked her to buy something.

Chen Shuangchuan is not a curious person, and let Bao Pozi go without asking too much, but there are inevitably some doubts in his heart, He Jinbao wants to eat, eat, wear and wear, even if he likes something, he basically ran out and bought it back, why did he suddenly let Bao Pozi bring it back so solemnly?

As soon as he paid for the needlework, Chen Shuangchuan touched his small purse, and there were only a few copper baht left in the empty one, so he took the key and opened the box where the money was placed.

It's just that as soon as it was opened, Chen Shuangchuan was startled, and the half-full box that was supposed to be filled was actually empty, leaving only an iron baht.

Needless to say, the red envelopes sent out during the New Year's Festival, even in February, there are two 500 copper baht. Although Mrs. He doesn't want to see He Jinbao, there are still Master He and Mrs. He on the left and right, and Mrs. He is not good at doing things that lose face too much, and the monthly money has never been short.

He Jinbao has never been very sad about these things, this month's case is still locked in the box by Chen Shuangchuan himself, and he can't remember it wrong, it's only been a few days, and he won't use the word light.

Chen Shuangchuan hurriedly turned over the account book and looked at it, which clearly recorded "two monthly coins and nine hundred coppers", "He Jinbao two silver buns, twelve silver baht, three strings of one iron baht", "Chen Shuangchuan two silver buns, one small silver bun, twenty-four silver baht and five copper baht", Chen Shuangchuan was almost faint, which added up to more than nine thousand coppers, and he disappeared all of a sudden.

was so anxious that he turned around the house twice, Chen Shuangchuan finally remembered to pour a glass of cold water, and then began to think that there were few people in this courtyard, and Chen Shuangchuan never faked the money from others, it was the key to this cash box, and Chen Shuangchuan had always carried it with him, and others were afraid that they would not be able to find it easily.

Look carefully at the lock on the cash box, but it is good, there is no trace of prie, and it does not look like it has been stolen or robbed.

Moreover, Chen Shuangchuan hid the money here, she showed it to He Jinbao, and the two of them slept in the same room, if anyone could take the key and take the money without Chen Shuangchuan knowing, then the most likely person should be He Jinbao.

Just now, Mrs. Bao said again, what does He Jinbao want her to buy?

For a while, Chen Shuangchuan only felt that half of his body seemed to be soaked in cold water, cold and cold, so cold that it seemed that his heart hurt, and the whole person was a little stunned.

One accidentally didn't hold it, and the money box fell to the ground with a bang, but this sound woke up Chen Shuang, and quickly took her skirt and chased her out to Bao Pozi.

After running for a while, Chen Shuangchuan really saw Bao Pozi, and was walking in with a smile on her face, Chen Shuangchuan hurriedly went up and grabbed her and asked, "What did the fourth young master ask you to bring, what about others?" ”

"Ah, it's just a jade bracelet, the fourth young master thinks the color in the market is not good, I still specially asked someone to buy it from the best store in the county, the price is not cheap, but it looks good, emerald green."

"And now what about others?"

Bao Pozi was yelled at by Chen Shuang, a little stunned, and finally stopped nagging, pointed to the south and said, "See off my cousin over there." ”

The Li family's car was stopping outside the gate, there were more than a dozen or twenty cars, and He Jinbao was standing in front of a car with a blue curtain, saying goodbye to Li Lanpei, and sending a brocade box up.

When Chen Shuang ran out of Bao Pozi, she happened to see the scene of He Jinbao's gift, she was so angry that her tears were about to fall, only one step slower, the jade bracelet was sent out like this, and she really wanted to go up and snatch it back regardless of dignity.

"The fourth cousin-in-law is also free to see me off, Lan'er is really grateful." was so stunned, she happened to be seen by Li Lanpei, only to see her smile and thank Chen Shuang very kindly.

There was no way for Chen Shuangchuan to stand next to He Jinbao, obviously looking at the jade bracelet with a good emerald green color in Li Lanpei's hand, his eyes were about to burst into flames, and he had to pretend to be kind on the surface, saying goodbye according to him, and diligently expressing his desire to meet again, which was simply a cruel torture.

Finally waited for Li Lanpei to be sent away, Chen Shuang was so angry that he didn't even eat, and directly slapped the account book in front of He Jinbao and said, "The fourth young master has nothing to say to me?" ”

The money in the cash box was quietly taken away by He Jinbao while Chen Shuang was asleep, Li Lanpei was leaving, He Jinbao was sad for a long time, and when he heard someone say a farewell gift, He Jinbao thought of giving Li Lanpei a gift, and he would have a thought in the future. As for what to give, He Jinbao thought that Li Lanpei had always liked jade, and he had seen a jade bracelet in the county town before, so she should like it.

The county seat is far away, and He Jinbao can't go out by himself, so he asked Bao Pozi to ask, wanting to find Chen Shuangchuan to get money, but Chen Shuangchuan was saying that the money was not enough, and one by one it was the place where the money was really needed. He Jinbao still felt a little guilty, so he didn't dare to tell Chen Shuangchuan, so he quietly stole Chen Shuangchuan's money, but he didn't expect to be discovered by Chen Shuangchuan so quickly.

He Jinbao was still a little weak, but looking at Chen Shuangchuan's aggressive appearance, he suddenly felt a burst of annoyance, and vaguely felt that if it wasn't for him marrying Chen Shuangchuan, maybe Li Lanpei wouldn't have left like this.
