Chapter 21 Tokens
"What good things can he make with him?" Gu Nan's tone was very disdainful.
For her nephew, she has never looked down on her.
Hong Binbin slowly squatted down, stretched out his fair and slender hand, and picked up the wood carvings scattered on the ground at a glance.
At first glance, I didn't think it, but now that I take a closer look, Hong Binbin can't help but appreciate Gu Ji a little more.
Every place is exquisite.
Without deep knife work, it is difficult to make such a work, but it is a pity.
What a work of art was all ruined by this little guy.
"If you don't compensate, we'll go to the official." Hong Binbin looked at Gu Nan in a very tough tone.
She doesn't want to be used to some people, and if the child is not taught well, the adult will have to take responsibility.
"Gu Ji, you say."
Looking at Gu Ji, Gu Nan's tone was arrogant: "Miss Hong hasn't joined the family yet, this family, for the time being, you should be in charge of it yourself." How much do you think your aunt should pay you? ”
Gu Ji glanced at Hong Binbin, Hong Binbin nodded at him slightly, it seemed that at this moment, there was a tacit understanding between the two.
"Auntie, it's not much, you can just pay two taels of silver." Gu Ji said in a flat tone.
"Two-two? Why don't you grab it? Gu Nan's tone was raised, and he seemed to be really angry.
Gu Ji thought to himself, didn't you and Sanniang rob it? Why are you so surprised?
The atmosphere was a little deadlocked, and Hong Binbin looked like he would not give up until he reached his goal, which finally made Gu Nan a little worried.
It was easy for Gu Ji to clean up, but Hong Binbin was everyone's miss after all, and it was not something she could handle.
"Call you disobedient, tell you to break other people's things, apologize!" As soon as he pulled the child, Gu Nan rudely ripped open the child's pants and slapped them a few times.
The earth-shattering cry sounded again, and the child who thought that someone was standing up for him instantly doubled his grievances.
Hong Binbin raised his eyebrows, come to this hand?
Why, give her this scoundrel!
Hehe~
"Go on, don't stop." Hong Binbin saw Gu Nan looking at her, and her tone was smiling.
Gu Nan: "......"
Is this what normal people do? Shouldn't it be counted?
"Go on! Since you want the child to take responsibility, then give her a big lesson, save her from growing up and causing more trouble, and I am also for the good of the child. ”
Gu Nan looked at the crying child who was about to pull over, this was her favorite little granddaughter, and she would feel distressed if she continued to fight.
"Here you go! Hmph, you wait for me. Picking up the child, Gu Nan dropped two taels of silver on the ground and wanted to leave.
It's really unlucky, originally she was going to make a set of cabinets for her little daughter.
Gu Ji was about to bend down to pick it up, but Hong Binbin grabbed him.
Smiling slightly, Hong Binbin's toes were slightly upturned, and the silver flew up and was grabbed by her.
"Hold your hand out." Looking at Gu Ji's stunned appearance, Hong Binbin smiled slightly.
Two taels of silver fell on his somewhat rough palm, and it seemed to be slightly hot.
"Alright, I'll go, goodbye."
Hong Binbin waved her hand and turned around to leave, anyway, her unevenness was over.
"Wait...... Wait a minute. Gu Ji looked at her back and couldn't help but stop her.
Hong Binbin turned around: "What's wrong?" ”
"Well, what are you doing in the village? I can help you if you need it. "Anyway, there is nothing to give to others, and Gu Ji also wants to return her favor.
Hong Binbin raised his eyebrows, in fact, it's not impossible.
……
"Are you sure it's here?" Gu Ji asked uncertainly.
Hong Binbin nodded, Mu Lao led the way in front, there is no reason to go wrong.
"However, this is the ancestral hall of the Gu family, and people with foreign surnames are not allowed to enter." Gu Ji said with some embarrassment.
Ha?
"Mu Lao, you're not mistaken, right?"
"Who are you talking to?" Gu Ji looked around, except for the two guards she was carrying, where was there anyone else?
Hong Binbin coughed dryly, and no one else could see Mu Lao's small jade body, so she just said it without paying attention.
"What nonsense, it's inside. Hurry up and go in and get it back. Mu Lao was very disdainful.
Back then, she marked each box in this treasure game, and she would never be mistaken.
"Otherwise, let's go talk to the patriarch." Gu Ji didn't want to disappoint Hong Binbin, so he came up with an idea.
Hong Binbin nodded, and it could only be like this.
Trespassing on other people's ancestral halls is somewhat immoral, so you can not do it or not.
Besides, this is Gujia Village, or Gu Ji brought him here, if she does something excessive, I'm afraid that Gu Ji will also be implicated.
Deal...... It's the same to sneak in at night.
Of course, she would never say that.
While the two were talking, the door of the ancestral hall was suddenly opened from the inside, and the sound of squeaking was like some ancient melody.
A decay with a slight smell of incense slowly diffused out.
"Something wrong with you? Is it necessary to enter the money in advance? The patriarch said unceremoniously.
I haven't seen her for so long, and her old man still seems to be in good spirits.
Gu Ji saluted politely, retreated to the side slightly, and watched the patriarch slowly walk in front of Hong Binbin.
Hong Binbin: "......"
She couldn't answer that.
"Well, I actually want to ......" hesitated for a few seconds, but she didn't say the rest of the words.
She couldn't say she wanted to go in and find something.
"Did you bring the token?" The patriarch interrupted her directly, and his face was very frank.
Token?
At this moment, suddenly the blessing of the soul came.
Hong Binbin stretched out to his neck, silently took off the jade pendant, and handed it over.
The patriarch's hand trembled slightly, and she didn't reach out to take it, but slowly took out a cloth bag from herself.
Inside is something wrapped in a handkerchief, wrapped in several layers, and it looks quite cherished.
After the layers were disassembled, it turned out to be a jade pendant inside.
"Spell it out." The patriarch handed it to Hong Binbin, and his tone was full of seriousness.
Hong Binbin took it and leaned against his own piece, and something magical happened.
Originally, two independent jade pendants were tightly fitted back to back, Hong Binbin tried it, but it couldn't be separated?
"Okay, okay, Gu Ji come in and get it." The patriarch was a little agitated, though she quickly controlled herself.
……
"What the hell is going on?" In the interval between waiting, Hong Binbin did not believe in evil and continued to want to buckle the two pieces of jade.
"Give it up, you can't hold it off. There's a trick in this, you can't do that. Mu Lao scoffed.
This unique mechanism is not something that ordinary people can open at will.
Hong Binbin pursed her lips and gave her some time, not necessarily.
However, now was not the time to dwell on this, she was more curious about how the patriarch knew that she had a token?
Also, how could Mu Lao's "private money" be in the Gu family ancestral hall?
Now all kinds of things make her feel that she and the people of the Gu family seem to have some kind of secret connection.
So, what's the secret?
