My aunt's painstaking persuasion that day was indeed reasonable, the wild stone was handsome, powerful, and powerful, and I was afraid that it was the wishful husband that thousands of girls in Beijing dreamed of.

It's just a pity that the two of us have been rivals since we first met, just like two fighting cocks grabbing food, every time we see each other, we are full of energy, fighting with each other, and we don't give in to each other. I'm afraid that Aunt Jiu's abacus has failed.

The next day, I went to the crazy stone to settle the account, he seemed to know my intentions for a long time, and before I could speak, he asked me seriously for the candle dragon order that the sixth aunt handed over to me, and with a serious face, I turned over the old account in an instant.

I once mentioned the token to Mad Stone because after returning to the yard from an outing with him, I found that my house had been turned over. I thought it was Xuan'er and a few people helping me tidy up the room, but I didn't pay attention, just made marks in the two locked boxes.

Two days later, the box had obviously been opened again, and then it was carefully restored. Obviously, the thief did not give up, and was still looking around for the whereabouts of the jade plaque.

I asked Hui'er a few people, but I didn't find any suspicious people entering and leaving my room, the house has strengthened the guards, and that person can still come and go freely, which shows that his skills are really good.

So during a casual conversation the day before, I told Mad Stone about this discovery.

Crazy Stone said: "It seems that there must be some secret hidden in this jade plate, which is extremely important to the thief. I'm worried that it will bring some trouble to you and the entire Su family, so it's better to let out the news and say that the jade card is in my hand, let them let the horse come, and I will wait for them to throw themselves into the net. ”

I know that the Crazy Stone is deliberately bringing danger to himself, and if those thieves learn of the whereabouts of the jade plate, they will definitely do whatever it takes to take it back. Then, the mad stone undoubtedly provoked the fire, put himself in a very dangerous situation, and became the target of public criticism.

I was naturally moved in my heart, and I was a little reluctant to go. Before he could say the words of gratitude, he choked back with a word.

"If you are grateful to me, and say anything to promise me, I advise you to forget it, and I will not be hungry to the point of starvation."

Crazy Stone said it very lightly, but he still very carefully asked the jade craftsman to carve a few identical candle dragon orders, and ordered his subordinates to wear them to swagger through Yangzhou City, one is to confuse the thieves' eyes and divert their attention, and the other is to uncover what secrets are hidden in this candle dragon order.

It's a pity that I caught two or three thieves who coveted tokens in a row, but after strict interrogation, they were not captured.

In his spare time, Crazy Stone often took the token, looked at it over and over again, and even tried many methods such as flooding and heating.

He said: "Su Qingwen, you said that the token you found that day can almost be fake, and Yue'er has never seen that token, why can you immediately find out that it is fake after looking at it?" “

I grabbed it in my hand, looked over and over, and imitated Yue'er's appearance that day, raised my head and looked at it, but I didn't find anything different, maybe it was just a symbol of status, and I had to give up in the end.

Another very important thing for me was to ask my father to ask the master in the weaving and dyeing workshop to develop a fabric called "shark silk".

I once saw it in the volume of "Shu Wei Ji" written by Liang Renfang of the Southern Dynasty, "The South China Sea is out of the shark silk yarn, the spring room is weaving, and a dragon yarn." Its price is more than 100 gold, and it is not wet when it enters the water. "I think that if you can use the shark silk as a costume and wear it when fighting against Gu poisoners, it can prevent the Gu poison from spreading through the blood, so you don't have to tie your hands and feet and throw a mouse bogey.

Inadvertently mentioned this matter to his father, his father said that the silk is precious, and it is hard to find gold, but the Su family master has exquisite weaving skills and is unique, and on the basis of the production method of oilcloth, the use of existing brocade raw materials, after special process soaking, can invent an unprecedented waterproof cloth is not necessarily.

The tarpaulin is waterproof, but it is soaked in cooked tung oil, so it is flammable. Mad Stone said that this is a taboo when facing the enemy, and it is not advisable, and it can only make a mistake in the production method of new fabrics. My father and I both talked about it.

My father soon saw a business opportunity and felt that this kind of fabric was also very versatile in real life, so he put a lot of thought into it, and told the brocade master to study it day and night.

A few days later, I received a letter from my master from Yunwu Mountain, this time it was a lot less sentimental, almost the whole letter was talking to me about Gu poison.

The master knew the name of the Gu poison, it was called "tarsal bone", but it was a real image, wasn't that Gu poison just as disgusting and disgusting as the maggot of the tarsal bone, and it couldn't get rid of it, and there was nothing to do?

But the master doesn't know how to solve the Gu either. She is good at detoxification, but she has never set foot in Gu, and she has only heard of it when she was learning from Miao Gu masters.

She attaches great importance to this, saying that this Gu poison is too harmful, and it is used by people with intentions to control others, which is simply inhumane and intolerable. Therefore, in the letter, I was told to find a way to control the spread of Gu before I found a solution, so as not to involve too many innocent people.

The master said that she knew an old man from Miao Jiang, and all her knowledge of this Gu poison came from him. It's just that he hasn't been informed for more than ten years, and I don't know if he is still alive. The master was willing to go to Miaojiang in person to find a solution to the old man's Gu solution, and set off on the same day.

She roughly calculated the itinerary, Sichuan and Guizhou are remote, the road is rugged and difficult, I don't know if I can have time to preside over the ceremony for me. This Gu poison is a matter of human life, the situation is urgent, and it is not trivial, I hope I don't blame her for breaking her word.

In the end, the master repeatedly told me that the hosta she gave me must be put away after entering Beijing, and try not to show it in front of others.

I don't understand the intention of the master's last sentence, because although the hairpin looks very good and is quite precious, the master has never loved these things outside the body, and has never told me like this. However, the hairpin was a gift from my master in advance, so naturally I don't need her to tell me, I will cherish it and treat it as if it were my heart.

The day of entering Beijing is gradually approaching, and my mother's body has recovered a lot under careful care. She began to ask about our entry into Beijing and taught Qingqing and me some things to pay attention to.

Regarding the accompanying girl in Beijing, my mother asked for our opinion, and she meant that she wanted to find an experienced grandmother for each of us. After all, she is old, she is sophisticated, and she has a sense of proportion when she encounters things, and as for the girl she carries with you, it is enough to take two people to serve her.

Qingqing is well-behaved, everything is willing to obey my mother's arrangement, I myself am reluctant to let a few girls in the yard, although they don't get along for a long time, but they have to share the joys and sorrows, and no one wants to give up.

Finally, I went back to the courtyard and called a few people to come close to discuss. The little one was crying and wiping away tears, holding on to my sleeves and not letting go, insisting on entering Beijing with me.

Hui'er's life experience is as pitiful as Xiao'er, her parents are dead, and she has no one to rely on and nostalgia in Yangzhou City, so she is at peace with what she encounters.

The most capable girl, Xuan'er, I made the decision and let her stay. After all, she is the son of the house, and her parents are both on errands in the house, so how can she be willing to leave her side.

Lan'er also has relatives at home, and I originally intended to let her stay in the house. Unexpectedly, she was extremely resolute in asking to stay by my side, reluctant to let a few of us go.

I asked my mother for a favor and settled on Hui'er, and Lan'er and Xiao Yan'er accompanied me to Beijing.

My father picked a day, called the eldest brother, and the third brother Qingwei and Qingming back, and set up a family banquet to see off Qingqing and me.

The eldest brother heard my mother tell me what happened, and knew that I was wrong that day, and personally apologized to me for my recklessness, and thanked me very sincerely for taking care of my mother during these days.

Although I am not close to my eldest brother, and because of the misunderstanding that day, I have to admit that he is indeed very big brother-like, straightforward and frank, and is not as arrogant and domineering as the sons-in-law of other wealthy and powerful families.

Sister Qingcheng also received a message, and rushed home, first, to visit her mother's body, and second, to prepare a generous gift for me and Qingqing. Especially the one given to me, which is not only precious, but also extraordinarily wasteful, saying that it was a meeting gift and a send-off gift. I know that this must be the meaning of her house, well-informed, I heard the intention of the Su family to send me to Beijing, and took precautions.

The third brother Qingwei is also the first time I have seen it, and sure enough, the book is full of anger, chewing the words, revealing a sour rot and the nobility of the literati. He was a little dismissive of my rudeness. I've heard Xuan'er say before that Qingwei is a bookworm, but he is very knowledgeable, but he is not very flexible. And I firmly believe that "everything is inferior, only reading is high", and he is a little disdainful of businessmen, and he is really not the material for doing business. This is another reason why his father intends to let him enter Beijing as an official.

Several sisters and brothers in the house, except for Qingluo who is shallow and widowed from afar, I know most of them. Everyone gathered together, staggered, although there were ups and downs in the dark, but on the surface, it seemed that they were brothers, friends and brothers, and they were harmonious.

I think mothers are very successful in raising their children. At the very least, the sisters and brothers in the house are not as arrogant and domineering, pampered and arrogant as other families, they are polite to their families, follow benevolence and filial piety, and are extremely kind and happy on the surface.

In the midst of laughter, there was a trace of reluctance and nostalgia for home in my heart.

Finally, to stay away from the south of the Yangtze River, away from this ink-like, delicate and graceful Yangzhou City, the future is uncertain, and the auspicious is unpredictable.

Disturbed.
