Exquisite ingenuity

Chapter 272 Digging a Pond

Zhao Jinyi and Song Jingxing looked at each other indiscriminately, and they both thought about it.

Grandfather Zhao Qing really came to Chunguang Pavilion.

The Spring Pavilion was still the same as usual, no matter whether it was a scholar with a refined appearance, or a businessman with a slightly rude appearance, they were all holding books in their hands, sitting or standing, so obsessed that no one came in and didn't even bother to look up.

There was a faint smile on the handsome face of the book boy.It seems that they are not afraid of them coming to Chunguang Pavilion at all, maybe they will destroy Chunguang Pavilion.

Zhao Jinyi cut to the chase: "Where is my grandfather?"

The book boy said with a smile: "Miss Zhao just follow me." After saying that, he turned around and walked back a little faster.

Song Jingxing approached Zhao Jinyi lightly, folded his long arms, and whispered to Zhao Jinyi: "If there is anything wrong, hide behind me."

Zhao Jinyi hummed lightly.

The two listened to all directions, looked around, followed the book boy, passed through the huge inner hall of Chunguang Pavilion, and passed through a door. Outside the door suddenly opened up, and it turned out to be a courtyard that was more than ten meters square.

The courtyard was completely white, and Zhao Jinyi squinted his eyes, only to realize that the floor of the courtyard was painted with white paint, which looked very strange.

Song Jingxing's eyes were turbulent: Chunguang Pavilion is indeed full of traps.

The book boy in front walked briskly to the middle of the courtyard, and pointed to another door: "Through this door, you can see the person you want to find. But you can see him and hear him, but he I can't see or hear you. Don't worry, Ms. Zhao. Didn't Ms. Zhao never understand why the Zhao family got into trouble? It will become clear today. Also, I advise Commander Song not to act rashly. This time it’s not as easy to get away as last time.”

After the book boy finished speaking, he had a strange smile on his face, bowed lightly, and slid out of the door without a sound.

In the empty and strange courtyard, only the two of them were left.

Song Jingxing said softly, "Let's go in."

Zhao Jinyi nodded.

Just as the two of them stepped through the door, the Zhao family in Kanglefang also welcomed an unexpected visitor.

It's not a stranger, but the third son-in-law Shi Saburo.

He still looked harmless to humans and animals, and got down from the carriage in a gentle manner. Two servants walked in front holding a huge box, and said to Sanfang's concierge: "The third son-in-law came to congratulate Sanfang on the establishment of a new house." happiness."

The two servant girls behind helped Zhao Jinyun get off the carriage.

Zhao Jinyun's footsteps were a little sloppy, and his expression was lazy, as if he hadn't woken up yet.

Seeing this, the concierge hurriedly opened the door, and welcomed the third aunt and third aunt in.

Mrs. Zhu was still feeling sad because of Zhao Xiuwen secretly going to join the army. Hearing that Zhao Jinyun and Shi Sanlang were coming, she had to brace herself up, washed her face, combed her hair again, and inserted a hairpin before going to meet with her. Daughter and son-in-law meet.

Seeing Zhao Jinyun's lack of energy, he was taken aback: "What's wrong with my son?"

Shi Sanlang smiled slightly and said: "Mother-in-law, Jin Yun just suffered from an accidental cold and lost her appetite. She said that she misses the emerald jade soup made by her mother-in-law very much."

Zhao Jinyun half leaned on the little table, looked up at Mrs. Zhu: "Aniang, my daughter really misses the green jade soup made by Auntie." As she spoke, she sounded like she was short of Qi and blood.

Zhu was puzzled.When Mingming came here a few days ago, her daughter was still aggressive.But in the blink of an eye, how did it become like this?

But Mrs. Zhu didn't show it in front of her son-in-law. She just smiled lovingly and said, "Yun'er wants to eat, so Aniang can do it. Sanlang, if you are bored, you can wander around in this garden." It takes more than two hours to make the soup.There is no man in the family to accompany the son-in-law, so I am afraid that the son-in-law is bored.

Shi Sanlang had a smile on his lips, and his demeanor was proper: "Mother-in-law just go to work."

As soon as Mrs. Zhu left, Shi Sanlang got up and cast a glance at Zhao Jinyun: "Cuiwei, help Madam to rest on the couch, don't disturb her."

Zhao Jinyun sneered: "You are afraid that I will disturb you. Aren't you going to turn the Zhao family upside down? Just do it."

Shi Sanlang smiled: "Unexpectedly, your grandfather was so shrewd that he used the act of dividing the family to seal the doors of the three houses and the courtyards. But he has a good plan, and I have my own ladder."

After finishing speaking, he bowed slightly and stroked Zhao Jinyun's hair: "Don't worry, Yun'er, since you are my wife and I am rich, can I forget you?"

Zhao Jinyun wanted to avoid his touch in disgust: "It's not your money, what face do you have to take it away!"

Shi Sanlang's smile deepened: "But that's not the Zhao family's money. The Zhao family hid it and dared not use it for twenty years. The money would rust, and the gold, silver and jewels would be dim if no one appreciates it. "

Zhao Jinyun looked at him contemptuously: "It's really nice to say, you just want to use the money to do things for your lover!"

Shi Sanlang stood with his hands behind his back: "Cuiwei, take good care of your wife, don't let her talk about things."

He smiled evilly, strode across the threshold, and went straight outside.

Today, Zhao Qing dispatched the guards of the Zhao family and went to Chunguang Pavilion, but the adult men of the Zhao family were not at home except for Zhao Chenghuan who was imprisoned.

I heard that the eldest wife of the big house is sick again.

Isn't this a perfect opportunity?

Shi Sanlang didn't do anything else in Chunguang Pavilion these years. He studied the map of the Zhao family day and night, so he was very familiar with the structure of the Zhao family's house.

According to his deduction, that old man Zhao Qing is so cunning, the gold, silver and jewels of the Xiao family should have been hidden in the third room of the Zhao family, which was the least favored.

Shi Sanlang stood on the porch, looking at the newly built wall and the messyly dug pond, a bad thought flashed in his mind.That batch of gold, silver and jewels must have been dug out, right?

A servant woman came over with a basket, and Shi Sanlang asked her: "This pond is so beautiful, why did you dig it like this?"

The servant girl said with a smile: "Third Uncle, don't worry about it. This pond was originally built by the second wife and the fourth girl. Now that the family has been separated, the third wife doesn't like it, so she asked Mr. Feng Shui to redo it."

The corner of Shi Sanlang's mouth twitched, good old Zhao Qing, you are really cunning!According to his analysis over the past few years, the Xiao family's money is most likely hidden in the pond.

The servant woman continued: "However, those who dug the pond have been caught in the wind and cold for the past few days, so they can't do their work, so it's not done well."

Shi Sanlang laughed: "The two servants I brought are extremely powerful, and they are idle anyway, so let them do the work."

The third uncle is really a good son-in-law.

The maid hurried to the kitchen and reported the matter to the third wife.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhu said with a smile: "My son-in-law has a heart." After saying that, he still stirred the soup in the pot, ignoring Shi Sanlang's digging up his yard upside down.

Across the courtyard, Zhao Jinyi raised his eyebrows slightly.Never expected that behind the courtyard, there is another cave.

One side can clearly see the huge thin curtain hanging on the opposite person, and can hear their voices and watch their movements, but the opposite person is ignorant of them.

Grandfather Zhao Qing was sitting on a chair, protected by Guanshi Hu, playing chess with others.The chess pieces landed on the chessboard, and the sound was clearly audible.

Song Jingxing spoke softly, and whispered in Zhao Jinyi's ear: "The man opposite Mr. Zhao is called Xie Ming, and he claims to be the owner of Chunguang Pavilion."

Xie Ming?Zhao Jinyi narrowed his eyes, and the man's every move was somewhat familiar.
