Cui's family left, and after discussing many matters related to the funeral, Cui's family left the Chu family with grief.

Grandma Chu finally found an opportunity, she dragged Wang aside, gritted her teeth and whispered, "What about that thing, did you put it back?"

Wang's abbreviated neck shook his head: "The third brother and sister have been in that house, and after cleaning up, they dragged me to the stove room to cook, and finally I was left alone, and the second brother and they have all gone back to that house, I didn't find a chance!"

"You greedy mother-in-law, if I hadn't come back first, and the Cui family was in a hurry to see the Cui family, you would have been caught, if that's the case, where would you let our Chu family's face go!"

"Auntie, I'm just curious to pick it up and take a look......"

"Fart! Whoever believes your nonsense, just look at what you're doing there? Do you dare to say that you weren't rummaging through the kang cabinet when I entered the house? As she spoke, Grandma Chu glanced at Wang again: "You hid that thing for me, if the stuffing is exposed, let alone the second child, even your father can't spare you!"

Later, this thing really almost missed the stuffing, before Cui's burial, Chu's father remembered the pendant that his wife had never left on weekdays, and thought about using it to be buried with his wife's coffin, as a funeral for his wife, the pendant was not on his wife's body, and he rummaged in the house for a long time, but he didn't see it.

Not only that, Father Chu always felt that the things in the cabinet seemed to have been moved, which was different from his wife's usual placement habits, so he asked Grandma Chu after thinking about it.

"Auntie, we were in the house yesterday, but you helped clean it up?"

As soon as she heard her son ask about cleaning up the house, Grandma Chu was alert: "I went to the village yesterday to look for milk, what's wrong, but what's the matter?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just that I can't find something, so I'll ask my sister-in-law and younger siblings again."

Chu's father said that he turned around to leave, and when Grandma Chu saw this, he hurriedly grabbed her son's arm: "What do you ask, you're busy!" ”

Grandma Chu used a lot of strength, and Father Chu struggled twice and didn't break free: "Auntie, don't hold me, I'll ask!" ”

Seeing that Father Chu refused to give up and tried to pull his hand away, Grandma Chu panicked, and even more desperately held on and refused to let go: "What to ask, what to ask!" Isn't it just a broken pendant, who can steal it! ”

Father Chu was stunned on the spot when he heard this, his hand was relieved, and he looked at Grandma Chu in a daze: "Auntie, how do you know that it is a pendant?" ”

At this time, Grandma Chu also realized that she had slipped out of her mouth in a hurry, and stumbled to explain: "What, what a pendant, you heard it wrong...... There is so much work at home, why don't you hurry up and help, be careful that the funeral time will be delayed for a while! ”

Father Chu made sure that he didn't hear it wrong: "I heard it right, how did A-Niang know that the pendant was gone...... Auntie, did you take it? ”

"What are you talking about here, who took your things?"

"That's someone else who took it, who is it?" Father Chu asked loudly.

Grandma Chu glared at the second son who was stopping in front of her at the moment: "No one, I don't know what kind of pendant you have!" ”

"That's a relic of your daughter-in-law, Red Lotus!"

Grandma Chu hurriedly covered her son's mouth: "What are you shouting?" I have to call the whole village over, and call the Cui family too, so that everyone knows that our old Chu family is a thief, isn't it? Everyone is gone, why do you have to ask for a pendant? ”

Looking at his mother, Father Chu was a little incredulous: "So the red lotus's pendant is really stolen!" Who the hell is it? That's a relic of the Red Lotus! ”

Seeing that her son was unrelenting, Grandma Chu splashed and stretched out her hands together in front of her son: "Success!" Then you tie me up as a mother, pull me to see the official, and say that your aunt stole your daughter-in-law's relics! ”

"Auntie! What are you doing here? ”

Grandma Chu ignored it and continued to cry and wipe her tears: "My life is miserable, my son married his daughter-in-law and forgot his mother, so I have to pour dirty water on my head, you arrest me, let the official beat me to death and make amends to you!" ”

Father Chu looked at Grandma Chu in disbelief, his eyes covered his scarlet eyes a little bit, two lines of hot tears slid down his cheeks and smashed on the courtyard ground at his feet, for a long time he pushed away Grandma Chu's hands, dragged his legs as if filled with lead, and walked towards his wife's coffin in the courtyard, step by step, his forehead against his wife's coffin, biting the back of his hand and crying for a long time.

After Cui's burial, Wang also quietly went to the pawnshop in the town, the pendant was in her hand, she always felt not very steady, she wanted to go to the pawnshop to change it into silver, who knew that the pendant was not jade at all, the outside was inlaid with silver, but it was not worth a few dollars at all, the pawnshop owner felt that he would smash it in his hand, and no one would do the business that would not make money, so he refused Wang's, and there was no way to take it back.

It wasn't until a year later that Chu's father died of depression, and Wang's heart was completely put back into his stomach, and then Chu Ren got married, and in order to please his daughter-in-law, Wang lied that the pendant was handed down by his mother's ancestors, and it was a not very expensive jade material, and gave it to the newlywed Li!

Wang shrank and leaned towards Grandma Chu: "Auntie, this, what's wrong now?" Could it really be that Choi's ghost has been recovered? ”

"You ask me, I ask who to go...... Guru! Didn't the master say that you should return your things to their rightful owners? Why don't you hurry up and give it back! ”

As soon as he heard this, Wang almost cried: "A-Niang doesn't know, the pendant has already been given to Qinghe, why do you want it back!" Besides, even if I have to come back, then the Cui family has been dead for almost ten years, who else am I going to go to? ”

"You ask me, who do I ask? Anyway, you quickly solved this matter for me, I didn't listen to the master, it's like that sapling, it grows, it grows, the longer it drags on, the worse it will be for Ah Ren, and you will cry when the time comes! ”

This night, Wang's tossed and turned all night without sleep, and the next day he got up before dawn, and Uncle Chu made up a reason, with dark circles and big bubbles at the corners of his mouth, and went straight to Qizen Temple, she wanted to ask the master to give some other directions.

But Wang searched all the stalls halfway up the mountain, but he couldn't see the master who told her fortune yesterday, thinking about whether he had moved the place, and walked twice along the way up and down the mountain, and was so tired that he sat on the side of the road, but he couldn't even see a shadow!

Wang refused to give up, and saw that there were many hexagram tellers along the road, so he wanted to inquire about one or two, but it was okay not to ask, and asked all the way, not only did he not hear about the master's situation, but he counted the hexagram a few times.

Regardless of whether it is a word test, looking at the appearance or divination, although it is not the same at first, some say that Wang is fated, some say that she is tired by the villain, and some say that she is colliding with something, in short, it all comes down to a point in the end, Wang's recent troubles, I and my family are afraid of accidents, and they have to be broken!

How to crack it, of course, it is necessary to eliminate wealth and avoid disasters!

After a day of tossing, a lot of money was spent, and the Wang family was even more convinced of yesterday's master, and today these liars are not as accurate as the master, and they are all trying to get a lot of money, phew! It's all liars!

Looks like we'll have to go to town and get the pendant back!

That night, the Wang family mentioned it to Uncle Chu, and wanted to go to the town to see his son again: "His father, do you want to go to my in-laws' house to see if you don't know the son?" It's been twenty years since I came back, and I haven't heard from ......."

"If you see it, it's not like that! Besides, it's about to be spring ploughing, so it's not a matter of delaying the work in the field at this time. ”

"It's a big deal to go back on the same day, what's there to delay work! What I'm worried about is Ah Ren, the current situation of the Li family has affected Ah Ren's review, what can I do? Even if you don't worry about your son, you always have to feel sorry for your grandson! That kid has been yelling for A-Niang these days, for A-Niang! ”

Uncle Chu said that he couldn't say that the Wang family, and he was indeed a little worried about Chu Ren: "Okay, then I'll go to the school early tomorrow morning, and then ask Ah Zhi for a leave." ”

Before they went to the town, Chu Zhi couldn't stay at home by himself, and he didn't want to go to the old house to live with his grandfather and grandmother, so Uncle Chu had to ask him for leave and take him to the town together.

Wang then remembered his youngest son Chu Zhi, and was in a hurry to go to the town to return the pendant, but he forgot about this stubble, thinking that if it didn't go well, he would have to stay for a few more days, and the whole family would indeed delay things!

"His father, or you are still at home, Ah Zhi is afraid that he will leave a bad impression on his master, and I will take my grandson myself!"

Early the next morning, Wang took his little grandson on a rickety ox cart and rushed to the Li family in the town.

When it was just out of the first month, Zhao Cheng and Chu Ping and the three of them began to make copper money and paper again, although Shen Luzhu's shop was not opened, but it was also preparing, while making silver ticket paper money, while studying a new style of paper money.

This is still one day when the young couple returned to Shen's house, Shen Luzhu remembered when coaxing the little niece, she used the waste paper from Grandpa Shen to write prescriptions, and played with origami cranes for her little niece.

It is a kind of paper money in the shape of ingots folded with gold or silver colored paper, which is packed in a transparent bag, and it is very realistic.

Origami is not a difficult thing for Shen Luzhu, she folded out a fat ingot, the difficult thing is this gold and silver colored paper, I don't know where to find it.

"Chu Yi, where do you sell gold and silver colored paper?"

"Azhu is talking about gold and silver foil?" As he spoke, Chu Yi picked up the ingots that Shen Luzhu had just folded, put them in his hand and fiddled with them a few times: "Are we going to fold a gold ingot?" ”

Shen Luzhu smiled at Chu Yi, and he really got more and more tacit understanding: "This is also a kind of paper money, gold ingots and silver ingots!" But I'm afraid that gold and silver foil can't be used, because it's too expensive, and it doesn't seem to be able to be folded around like paper. ”

"Going to town one day?"

"Okay, I haven't had anything to do lately anyway."

The little couple took advantage of the fact that the shop had not yet opened, and went to the town several times, bookstores, grocery stores, and various shops all turned around, and there was colored paper, but it was mostly yellow and red, not to mention gold and silver, not to mention paper, and even the paint sold in the studio was not available.

Xiao Er in the studio heard what Shen Luzhu wanted, and waved his hand again and again: "The guest officer is really embarrassed, our studio has been open for more than ten years, and I have never seen gold and silver paints, let alone no, even if there are real ones, ordinary paintings are rarely useful, and I am afraid that no one will buy them in our town." ”

"Thank you, little brother." After thanking Xiao Er, Shen Luzhu was about to walk out with Chu Yi on his shoulder, but was stopped by another customer who was in the studio.

"Why don't you go and find a craftsman who makes Buddha statues for the temple and ask, I heard that in those big temples, there are not golden Buddha statues, it is said that many of them are not made of pure gold, but are painted with gold paint."

Shen Luzhu had heard about gold paint from Chu Yi, which was made by beating pure gold into powder and adding it to the paint, and the method was a good method, but the cost was too high.

However, reconciled? Maybe you can try it, Shen Luzhu suddenly had an idea: "Little brother, please help me pack a copy of red, yellow and blue, as well as white and black paints!" ”

"What's the trouble here, guest officer, wait a minute!"

Although I only studied in my sophomore year in my last life, and I didn't study Chinese painting professionally, I was an art student, and Shen Luzhu asked himself if it was okay to mix colors, but he hadn't taken a paintbrush for a long time, and he forgot about this method, and he just wanted to find ready-made colored paper or paint!

After buying the pigment, the next step is to test the mixing, in addition to the luster and metallic, the gold can be temporarily regarded as a slightly darker yellow, Shen Luzhu first blended out the brown yellow and lemon yellow two yellows, and then according to different proportions little by little preparation experiment, and finally determined the proportion, obtained a slightly darker than the grapefruit peel, very close to the golden yellow.

Then there is silver, silver is closer to gray, a lot of white pigment as a base, a little red and yellow mixture, and finally a little more blue, you will get a slightly blued gray, faintly with some silver translucency.

The color is already very close, and then as long as you add some gloss, then it will be more realistic when applied to the ingots.

I wanted to add tung oil and other oils to it to make it a glossy paint like paint, but the painting pigment that Shen Luzhu bought was water-based, and the two could not be well integrated together, and there would be delamination.
