Chapter 246: Crying Scene
This is too obvious, Wei Yuanjia must have a ghost in his heart, isn't it true that the clan elder and the You clan really had a period of time between you and me? Thinking of this, Yuanxi couldn't help frowning, the picture of a pear flower pressing a begonia is a visual stimulus to think about.
Yuanxi stared at Wei Yuanjia, his brain was spinning as if it were flying, if the You clan and the clan were real, then what use could this handle be?
Yuan Xi carefully observed Wei Yuanjia's facial features, and tried his best to recall the appearance of the clan elder more than ten years ago. vaguely feels a bit similar, but I can't judge it, after all, the clan elder and Wei Dongshu are also uncles and nephews, and their appearance is also somewhat similar. For example, Wei Dongshu's eyes look very much like the clan elders, and Wei Yuanjia also happens to inherit these eyes. It can't be said that if you look like a clan elder, it must be born to the You clan and the clan elder, right?
"What deal?" asked Won-hee.
Wei Yuanjia lowered his eyelids: "Today's matter, as long as you don't say it, I promise that I will never mention a word about Lanyu in front of my eldest brother." As she spoke, she held up three fingers.
Yuanxi turned his face and looked at the ugly-looking clan elder on the bed, and suddenly felt that Wei Yuanjia was a little stupid. Even if you don't say it, won't Wei Dongshu and the old lady notice anything unusual?
Seeing that Yuanxi didn't speak, Wei Yuanjia was a little anxious, if he continued to delay like this, the doctor he invited for the clan elder would arrive, and once the doctor noticed something strange, he couldn't explain it.
Speaking of the clan elder vomiting blood, Wei Yuanjia felt unspeakable regret in his heart, he knew that when he mentioned her mother, the clan elder would have such a big reaction, and he would not say this in front of the clan elder if he killed her. If it weren't for the fact that this old thing vomited blood, why would he have lured Wei Yuanxi over? Why would she have heard the nonsense that the clan elder was shouting in a coma? Why would she have killed him by mistake?
But then again, this old thing is also strange and infatuated, in order to make his mother happy all these years, this uncle and grandfather have also made stumbling blocks for Wei Yuanxi behind his back. Yuan Jia glanced at him, what kind of infatuation? It was obvious that his mother's appearance was too beautiful, and she hooked the soul of this old pervert.
Yuan Xi also sensed the sense of urgency in her heart, so she took the opportunity to ask: "Who got the fox used by Liu Guifei and Zhao Kezhen when they killed my child?"
Wei Yuanjia was stunned, didn't this question take advantage of the fire to rob her? But she was really anxious to ask for Yuanxi's guarantee at this moment, so she said helplessly: "It's Zhao Jing, Zhao Shangshu's eldest son." ”
Hearing this name, Won-hee's heart suddenly ached. Thinking of the day he saved Zhao Jing from Xiao Rongshen's men, Zhao Jing said to himself: Who can say clearly about the palace battle? Yuan Xi bit his lip, the Zhao family is a famous Confucian family, how can this group of juniors who do not pay attention to benevolence, righteousness, etiquette and wisdom come out? After all, he also saved his whole family, and he didn't even earnestly explain the truth about the fox.
"Have you thought about it?" asked Wei Yuanjia.
Yuan Xi asked again: "Is that incident Liu Guifei looking for Zhao Kezhen, or is it Liu Guifei that Zhao Kezhen begged?"
Wei Yuanjia glared: "Are you still finished?"
"One last question. If you tell the truth, I will accompany you in this play. ”
Wei Yuanjia gritted her teeth, just do it, the lesser of two evils, Liu Guifei harmed her, even if she didn't say it, she would find out sooner or later. If she didn't cooperate with herself today, killing the clan elder would be enough to kill her on the spot. Yuan Jia hated the iron and looked at the servant women in that courtyard, hum, they are all waste decorations, even if all of them accuse Wei Yuanxi of killing the clan elders, Wei Dongshu will not believe it. If Wei Dongshu wasn't so partial to Wei Yuanxi, why did he leave her such a big handle?!
"It was Liu Guifei who found Zhao Kezhen first, and Zhao Kezhen went to ask Liu Guifei the next day. ”
It seems that they are a raccoon dog? Yuan Xi paused, feeling a little chilled.
"Okay, since my sister is so sincere, my sister can't remember what happened just now. ”
Wei Yuanjia breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly went to straighten the body of the clan elder, knelt in front of the clan elder, and cried. Yuan Xi looked at her back and thought it was very interesting, her kung fu in acting was really the best in the world, why did the tears come so quickly?
The patriarch had his mouth open, his eyes were as wide as a brass bell, and one hand was still cocked. Wei Yuanjia tried to suppress him, but he didn't think that the clan elder's body was already cold, his body was hard, and his hands couldn't be pressed down at all. Wei Yuanjia simply took an orange from the table, peeled it, threw it on the ground, squeezed out some juice from an orange petal and dripped it on the elder's mouth, holding the elder's hand and crying sadly.
It wasn't until Wei Yuanjia had done all this that Liu Guihua dared to run to deliver a letter to the old lady and Wei Dongshu. After a while, Wei Dongshu hurried over with the old lady. Hearing footsteps behind him, Wei Yuanjia cried even louder.
Although the death of the clan elder has been dealt with by Wei Yuanjia, it still looks a little weird. Although Wei Dongshu did not suspect that Wei Yuanjia had killed someone, he also felt a little strange. Look at Yuan Xi: "It was fine yesterday, why can't it be today?"
Wei Dongshu looked at the mess all over the place, and was furious: "Is it that you lowly slaves didn't serve the clan elders well?
Wei Yuanjia glanced at Yuan Xi and squeezed his eyes at her, Yuan Xi tilted his face and looked at her blankly. Wei Yuan Jianunu mouthed and motioned for her to intercede with Wei Dongshu. Yuan Xi looked at the few servant women who were still acting as a human wall just now, and they had already knelt down at this time, kowtowing like pounding garlic, and couldn't help but flatten their mouths. Do you have the ability to coerce and lure just now?
But since he promised Wei Yuanjia, Yuanxi still had to say that he would do it, so he knelt down: "Back to my father's words, when my daughter came, I saw that the old man of the clan was critically ill, coughing up blood and coughing badly, these people are also busy before and after, they are all doing their best, life and death, the old grandfather of the clan has ascended the Paradise of Bliss in the eighth year of Wang, and he is already a long life, don't blame them." ”
Wei Dongshu glanced at Yuan Xi and raised his hand to signal her to get up. The old lady sighed and looked at the clan elder solemnly.
"What's wrong with the patriarch's mouth, what's the matter with this hand?" the old lady felt that the patriarch's death was too ugly.
Wei Yuanjia hadn't paid attention to the old lady and Wei Dongshu when he came back several times, if he pounced on it to explain at this time, it would really seem like a thief, but he couldn't help but explain, crying loudly, and squeezing his eyebrows at Yuanxi.
Yuan Xi frowned, did she regard herself as the mythical Wenchang Star God Monarch?
Yuan Xi picked up the oranges on the ground and said: "The old man of the Fang Cai clan was sober for a while, saying that he wanted to eat oranges, and his sister peeled them for him. ”
Wei Yuanjia was very satisfied with this story, and the foil was a tear-jerking cry.
The old lady sighed and said to Ju Xiang: "Go and call Cheng Yong and Yue'er and send them to the clan elder." ”
Ju Xiang went for a while, and then walked in with Cheng Yong and Yuan Yue one after another. Cheng Yong's face was a little pale, so wooden that he could hardly see any expression. The two kowtowed to the clan elder, and the subordinates hurriedly stepped forward to change into a clean set of shrouds for the clan elder, which the clan elder had prepared for himself in advance.
Wei Yuanjia was still kneeling on the ground crying mournfully, and Liu Guihua stepped forward to pull her: "Miss, the clan elder has gone, don't cry and break your body." ”
Yuan Yue quietly tugged at Yuan Xi's sleeve and whispered, "What's the matter?"
It was difficult to say a word, Yuan Xi made a helpless expression, and Yuan Yue was even more puzzled.
The clan grew old suddenly, and there was no preparation at all except for a set of shrouds he had prepared for himself in advance. Wei Dongshu hurriedly asked Ju Xiang to pay the money from the account to deal with the funeral of the clan elder.
Yuan Xi rubbed his eyebrows, he thought that he would be very sleepy if he didn't sleep all night, but he didn't expect to be so energetic by Wei Yuanjia's good play. Looking at the time at this time, it was already past the early dynasty, and Yuan Xi hurriedly asked Liu Tianbao to put the two assembled ears into a wooden box and send them to the palace.
Wei Dongshu saw that she was in trouble, and he didn't leave her to wear linen and filial piety for the clan elders. Yuan Xi tugged at Yuan Yue's sleeve: "You come to me at night." ”
The two half-human-high ears stood in front of the emperor, and the emperor almost straightened his eyes, and looked up at Yuan Xi: "This is the pair of bronzes?"
The emperor bowed around his ears and couldn't help but sigh: "It's really a rare treasure in ancient times." ”
Xu Wenliang also responded: "It's much more beautiful than the pair of bronze statues that were buried with the Queen Mother, but it's a pity that it's broken." ”
The emperor glanced at Yuan Xi and said, "Broken things shouldn't be as valuable as Li Lin said, right?
Broken and glued objects are called "hands" in antique dealers, and the ears that have been touched are naturally not as good as those that are intact. Its value is simply plunged from the clouds into the trough.
Yuan Xi nodded: "Yes, but this pair of ears is not broken, it was Lan Chengjie who was afraid that the matter would be revealed, so he personally smashed it and buried it in his own latrine." ”
The emperor was shocked, such a priceless treasure, he said that he would smash it?
Xu Wenliang sighed: "It's a pity, otherwise how much silver would this be worth?"
Yuan Xi didn't have anything to say, and the emperor raised his eyes to look at her: "Tell me, if it is intact, how much silver should it be worth?"
Yuan Xi thought for a while and said, "Such things are often priceless and unmarketable. It also depends on the market, but I heard my father say that according to the market of the year, this pair of ears should be able to sell for 30 million taels. ”
"How much?!" The emperor was taken aback, thinking that he had misheard: "Thirty million taels?!" Da Chu's annual income is only seventy million taels!
Xu Wenliang was also taken aback, so much silver is enough to live a hundred times for Lan Chengjie.
"What now, how much is this broken worth?" The emperor wanted to reach out and touch it, but finally held back, vaguely remembering who said that fiddling with antiquities requires a clean cloth, and sweat stains on his hands are a kind of accumulated damage to antiquities.
Yuan Xi looked at the scarred ears and said softly: "A knowledgeable buyer can probably overwhelm the price by five or six thousand taels." ”
"Bastard!" the Emperor snorted.
