Mrs. Mu returned the stone to Mu Qingwan and hugged her.

"Could it be that you're thinking wrong, it's just an ordinary stone. The old county king has been sick for many years, and every now and then he will do something strange. Today's incident is probably sick again. ”

Mrs. Mu didn't think so, her daughter was kind-hearted, probably wrong.

"Oh."

Mu Qingwan didn't speak, but put the stone into her sleeve pocket again. Mrs. Mu saw it and shook her head helplessly.

"Mianmian, the banquet in the Chengjun Palace, which was secretly arranged by your eldest aunt, is also for us to integrate into the capital as soon as possible, as for the Chengjun Palace, it is still far away."

What Mrs. Mu meant, Mu Qingwan understood in her heart, was just a false and wrongful entertainment.

"Well, I got my mother."

……

When he returned to the Anping Marquis Mansion, it was already approaching evening, and Second Master Mu was waiting in Hanxiangyuan. After Mu Erye returned to Beijing, he spent most of his time in the Anping Marquis Mansion, reading books and practicing calligraphy, and occasionally going out to visit old friends.

"Did you go well today?"

"Well, it's fine. Yes, there was a little accident. ”

"Oh, what's the matter?"

So Mrs. Mu told Second Master Mu about today's events again. Second Master Mu also thinks that it may really be just an accident.

"Okay, the matter has passed, next time be prepared, let's eat first, today the Zhenguo General's Mansion sent a basket of rare things, you can also taste it."

"What's so delicious?"

As soon as he heard that it was food, Mu Lan took a sip and looked at Second Master Mu with blank eyes.

"You'll find out later."

However, Second Master Mu sold a pass to Mu Lan.

The so-called rarity was finally on the table, and it turned out to be a crab or a river crab.

Second Master Mu's family has always lived in Biansai, and seafood and river fresh foods such as crabs have basically not been eaten before, especially Mu Yan and Mu Lan. Isn't this crab a rarity?

"Come and try it, but you can't eat too much."

Second Master Mu took a seat first.

Mu Qingwan glanced at the table, and everyone had a plate of dipping sauce and a small bowl of brown soup in front of them. Mu Qingwan picked it up and sniffed it, and then called out to Second Master Mu.

"Daddy, wait."

"Huh? What's wrong? ”

"Daddy, crabs are cold, eating too much hurts the stomach yang, let the kitchen bring a bowl of ginger juice, the ginger is warm, just neutralizing the coolness of the crab."

Eating seafood and the like has to be dipped in ginger juice, which is also common sense in modern times, but I didn't expect the ancients to know this, but when I think of the level of medical skills here, it is not difficult to understand.

"Hehe, it seems that Qingwan is still very useful to study medicine, haha. It's no wonder that people in the world eat crabs, always taste them lightly, and occasionally those who are greedy to eat more, and they always have diarrhea, so that's it. Come on, get a bowl of ginger juice. ”

At night, I eat river crabs, and the capital is inland, far away from the sea, and there are only rivers and lakes nearby. However, river crabs are tastier than sea crabs.

Mu Lan didn't dare to eat it at first, but then he tried to taste a small piece and ate it with joy. But after all, he was too young to let him eat more.

Mu Qingwan ate very slowly and well, and probably only ate one crab and then stopped eating. Just because, Mu Qingwan stared at the vinegar bowl on the table, her eyes lit up, and she didn't know what to think.

"Mianmian, what's wrong?"

Mrs. Mu noticed Mu Qingwan's abnormality.

"Huh? It's okay mother, I'm a little tired today. I want to go back to my room and rest first. ”

So, Mu Qingwan went back to the room in advance, cleaned it briefly, and sat on the soft couch, staring at the stone in front of her in a daze.

That is the stone that the old county king gave to Mu Qingwan, and the stone is only the size of Mu Qingwan's fist, dusty, and absolutely inconspicuous when thrown on the ground.

Second Master Mu and Mrs. Mu both thought that the old county king was just sick, but Mu Qingwan always didn't believe it. Her instincts told her that there must be something hidden in it.

"Ruyi, you go and bring a bowl of vinegar, I remembered a prescription that I need to study. Be careful not to let others find out. ”

Mu Qingwan finally stopped being stunned and shouted Ruyi to come in.

"Yes, miss."

Although I don't understand, how vinegar can be used to make medicine, but since it was ordered by Mu Qingwan, there will be no problem, Ruyi just asked, and after a while, he came in with a large bowl.

"Alright, you go out and guard first."

Mu Qingwan took the bowl and put it on the table, holding the stone in her hand, hesitated for a while, and finally made up her mind to throw the stone into the bowl.

As soon as the stone was thrown into the vinegar, a large number of bubbles bubbled out. The vinegar in the bowl churned, and sure enough, it was just as Mu Qingwan thought, the stone was limestone, which could have a simple chemical reaction with vinegar to generate carbon dioxide.

After a while, the reaction stopped, and Mu Qingwan fished out the stones, which had already become smaller, but they were not enough.

"Ruyi, go get some more vinegar."

This time, Ruyi directly took a small jar of aged vinegar.

Mu Qingwan changed a bowl of vinegar and threw the stone into the vinegar again, and after repeating it several times, the stone was only half the size of the original, but there was nothing different except that the volume had become smaller.

Is it really my own mistake? Mu Qingwan didn't give up, forget it, since the interest came, let's do it to the end. So, Mu Qingwan continued to repeat the previous action.

After trying it a few more times, the stone was greasy, and the stone was melted into a white corner, and there was indeed something different in it.

Mu Qingwan laughed, her guess was indeed right.

The movements of his hands continued, and the limestone wrapped in the transparent object was finally dissolved, Mu Qingwan took it out, rinsed it with the tea in the teapot, and wiped it clean with a handkerchief.

The things inside finally revealed the true face of Lushan, Mu Qingwan took it in her hand and looked at it, it was a pendant carved into the shape of a pear flower, from the petals to the stamens, it was carved vividly.

Is this a piece of jade? Mu Qingwan is not an uninformed person, but the pendant in front of her can't tell what material it is, but it slowly begins to become warm in her hand, and her whole body is comfortable.

The ancients were superstitious, and the pear blossom homonym passed "away", which means separation, and the implication is not auspicious. Therefore, the image of pear blossom is made into a pendant, and this behavior is a bit shocking.

Who would do it? And why is it wrapped in an inconspicuous stone? Why did the old county king put such a thing into his hands for no reason? After unlocking the secret of the stone, Mu Qingwan's doubts in her heart increased.

Whether to tell Second Master Mu and Mrs. Mu about the pear blossom jade pendant, Mu Qingwan was a little puzzled. And I don't know what the impact of this pendant will be, Mu Qingwan's mind is not calm now, and she really can't figure it out.

It was already late at night, and the night pearl in the house was shining brightly. Mu Qingwan threw the pear blossom jade pendant into the jewelry box, covered the night pearl with a thick handkerchief, and went to bed to rest.

If you come here, you will be safe.
