The Zhou brothers walked to the field in person, and sure enough, the ditch between the two families was only separated by a 60-centimeter-long ridge.

The brothers looked at each other and became evil. The two of them returned to the house silently, locked in the study, you look at me, I look at you, I only feel sour and itchy in my heart, and after some discussion, I made a plan.

If this had changed for a few months, the brothers might not have had the guts to do so. It's just that now the food in the house and the clothes are not as good as before, and the thrift is saved, and a few beautiful concubines in the room have a tongue.

It's no wonder that those aunts, why are they concubines?

For the sake of Xun Youqing's concubine, you have me, I have you? Coaxing ghosts, it's just to be surrounded by greenery, fine clothes and food, and have a good future.

Now that half of the gold and silver mountains of Zhoufu have been lost, if there is a good one, naturally only the old lady, wife, young master, and young lady will be left with a few aunts, and they will not complain about who they have changed.

As soon as the woman has a grudge in her heart, the matter between the bed brothers is a little more perfunctory and reluctant, which makes the two masters hate and hate in their hearts.

As the saying goes, it is easy to enter luxury from simplicity, and it is difficult to enter simplicity, and my aunt is still like this, and I disdain to say that my wife and children are gone, and it is common for me to shake my face and not eat if there is less meat on the table. If you really get that box of treasures, you don't point to it that it is worth a fortune, and it can be exchanged for hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, which is a great joy.

The brothers found Zhou Dongliang, the eldest son of the Marquis of Annan, on the second day, and told Zhou Dongliang about the matter.

Zhou Dongliang is worried that his father is in charge of money these days, so that the top card he watched was taken away, isn't this time sleeping on a pillow?

Zhou Dongliang and the Zhou brothers are almost the same age, they grew up together, eating, drinking, and having fun, and they have done a lot of things, and the three of them reached a consensus and came up with a poisonous plan.

On the second day, the two brothers of the Zhou family handed over a letter to the Yamen, accusing the farmer Liu Ping of secretly embezzling half an acre of the Zhou family's fertile land. Liu Ping's family was imprisoned that day.

The brothers took people overnight, copied Liu's house, and rummaged through every corner, but they didn't find the box of treasures.

Zhou Dongliang swaggered into the yamen three days later.

Governor Wu took a look. The eldest son of the Marquis of Annan, the future Marquis of Annan, dared to be slow, and hurriedly invited people in, greeting him with delicious food and drink.

How many officials are not deaf and clear-sighted? Governor Wu knew very well what Zhou Dongliang was doing today, so why not do it.

As the saying goes, the poor do not fight with the rich, and the officials do not fight with the people.

Liu Ping was imprisoned for a few days, and his family of four starved and died of fright. Under some coercion and temptation. soon honestly admitted that he had encroached on the Zhou family's good land, and only said a word about digging treasures.

Zhou Dongliang whispered a few words to the prefect, and secretly handed over a silver ticket of five hundred taels, and the prefect Wu accepted the silver ticket and left with the officials.

Liu Ping's family fell into the hands of Zhou Dashao. After suffering a little, in order to save his life, he had to explain the location of the treasure, Zhou Dongliang took out a silver ticket of five hundred taels from his arms and threw it to Liu Ping, who was covered in blood.

That night, Liu Ping's family of four hired a carriage, left the capital, and went straight north.

The three of them took matters into their own hands overnight and dug up the treasure. When I opened it on the spot, I was stunned. A box is all ancient jade, judging from the color, it is very old, and there is a piece of white jade double tiger Shouheng that is particularly eye-catching.

Zhou Dongliang swallowed his saliva and put the Shouheng into his arms. chose two more at random, and pushed the box to the Zhou brothers.

Although the brothers coveted the shouheng, they didn't dare to come forward to fight, and when they saw that the treasures in the box were not bad, they were busy dividing them. Walk away.

Early the next morning, the three of them entered the city and went to the jewelry and jade street in the south of the city.

walked a few shops, and each took out a treasure in his arms, but he didn't expect it to be priceless.

It turns out that the ancient jade has many doorways, and it has to be measured and priced from various aspects such as background, modeling, jade material, jade color, ornamentation, craftsmanship and type. Most of those shopkeepers have been playing with jade for decades, and although their eyes are poisonous, ancient jade is rarely touched, so they have to push the idea that it is a good thing, but the valuation is not easy to estimate.

It wasn't until he entered Jinjue Pavilion that the shopkeeper saw the guy who came to take it out, his eyes lit up, and he left the person behind, and quickly asked the guy to invite the owner quickly.

When the proprietor heard the news, he looked and looked, touched and touched, and muttered and discussed in the backyard for more than half an hour before deciding to buy these three pieces of ancient jade for 80,000 taels of silver.

When the three of them heard this, they were ecstatic, and without saying a word, they each took a silver ticket and left, and went straight away.

When I came out, it was late at night. The three of them explained to each other, it was nothing more than a windfall from heaven, tight-lipped like a bottle, sharing blessings and difficulties, and so on, and each went home.

……

In winter, the weather became colder day by day, Xin Yao's cough recurred, and she took a few medicines, but it didn't get better, so the second wife had to go to the hospital to find someone.

Du Tianxiang saw that the person who came was a member of the Jiang family, and knew that it must be the fourth lady's illness that had recurred, so he went straight to Jiang's mansion after getting off the yamen.

Hearing that Fengxuan and the others had been looking forward to it for a long time, they saw that Imperial Doctor Du was coming, and they hurriedly led people in.

Du Tianxiang looked at the face of the fourth lady, and then carefully checked the pulse, and said: "It's not in the way, just take a few pairs of medicine, in the end, it was too badly injured, and it was cold and dry this day, which caused the old disease." ”

Jiang Xinyao smiled and said: "I just said that it is not a big deal, I always take medicine when the seasons change, but my mother found you, what a fuss!" ”

Du Tianxiang smiled: "It's not a big fuss, be careful, it's always good." If you have a bad one, someone is going to jump to their feet! If it doesn't end up when the time comes, it's not me! ”

Jiang Xinyao raised her eyebrows at Du Tianxiang and said with a smile: "Who is someone, who is someone, who dares to let our Imperial Doctor Du not fall well?" Unless he doesn't get sick and doesn't take medicine in his life, otherwise, even I can't stand it. ”

Du Tianxiang coughed and said proudly: "Fourth Miss is really a clever person!" By the way, Ah Yuan is back, when he goes, there are two people, and there is a boat when he comes back, hey, someone is really good, he has both people and wealth, but he envy me to death! ”

Jiang Xinyao completely ignored Du Tianxiang's ridicule, and hurriedly said, "Little uncle is back, how are things?" ”

Du Tianxiang approached and said meaningfully: "The fish is hooked, is the fourth lady ready to go under the knife?" When it's cold, having a bowl of fish head soup to drink is really a happy thing in life! ”

Jiang Xinyao glanced at Du Tianxiang with disgust, and made a pun: "I'm taking this mouthful, but I have to fatten the fish!" ”

……

Xin Yao took a few pairs of medicines prescribed by Du Tianxiang, and sure enough, she stopped coughing, and her heart was able to mix well in Tai Hospital, and that guy still had some real skills.

Within a few days, Xiao Chong, the chief housekeeper of the Xiao Mansion, was ordered to send a cart of supplements and medicinal materials to the Jiang family.

The second wife took it happily, picked out some good ones, and personally sent them to the old lady, and someone sent some to the second grandmother, and ordered someone to send the rest to her daughter's room.

After the old lady waited for Gu to leave, she stared at the good supplements and looked at them, and then said with an uncertain expression for a while: "Mama Qian, pick two good ones in the courtyard, you can train them yourself, and let the four girls accompany you when the time comes." ”

Mama Qian hesitated and said: "Old lady, the second wife is afraid that she has been prepared for this matter!" ”

The old lady sneered: "Although the four girls said that they picked up a life and came back, I am afraid that their bodies will not be better, you see that they have been sick at both ends in the past three days, and when they arrive at the Xiao family, how can they be good?" Xiao Mansion is a lone seedling, and the heirs must take a fancy to it, with the body of four girls, it will be difficult to get pregnant for a while, and it is also necessary to prepare. You just do what I say, the second master, the second wife, I'll say it! ”

Mama Qian had to swallow her words, stepped forward to help the old lady, and entered the Buddhist hall.

……

What the old lady said to Mama Qian on the front foot, the back foot reached Gu's ears, Gu sneered, put down the work in his hand, and went to Tingfeng Xuan.

Xin Yao waited for her mother to finish speaking, nodded at Mother Li, only to see Mother Li take out a piece of paper from the dresser, hand it to the second wife, and said with a smile: "Second wife, this is written by Xiao Gongzi to our young lady, take a look!" ”

Gu Shi unfolded it, raised his eyebrows, carefully folded the paper, handed it back to Li's mother, and sighed: "This kid is really a good one, since he said so, I am relieved." Yao'er, your third sister came back a few days ago. ”

Xin Yao sneered and said, "It must have been something to the old lady, right?" At this time, she can still take care of me, she is really my good sister, I will definitely repay this affection! ”

Gu Shi cut his hair and said, "Yao'er, the old lady wants to settle people by your side, most of them have ideas. As the saying goes, the elders give, don't dare to resign, you better be careful! ”

Xin Yao smiled: "Don't worry, mother, I have my own measure in this matter." ”

While talking, a housekeeper in the house came to find the second wife, Gu stepped forward and touched her daughter's little hand, and said a few words before leaving.

……

Xin Yao waited for her mother to leave, and then lazily said to Li's mother: "Mom, go back and bring a letter to the little uncle, after the New Year, the second chess piece can be settled!" ”

Mother Li responded with a smile, thought about it, and said, "Miss, I heard that the third lady cried in the old lady's room for a long time on the day she came back, and when she went back, her eyes were red. If you want me to say, I have taken care of myself, and I still have the heart to meddle in the affairs of the young lady's room, which is really uneasy. It's just the old lady's intention, I'm afraid it's more than that! ”

Xin Yao sneered: "Mom, don't worry, the meal has to be eaten in one bite, the chess has to be played step by step, I have time to play with them!" Mom, take care of those supplements and medicinal materials, keep some of them, and send the rest to your mother's room. ”

Mother Li smiled: "The second wife sent it to the young lady with a blank eye, and the young lady sent it to the second wife, it is really a mother-daughter connection." But Miss, my mother has something to say, I don't know whether to say it or not? ”

Xin Yao got up, pulled Mother Li to sit on the chair, and complained, "Mom, you, do you still need to say these words between the two of us?" Just say what! ”(..)
