First Wife of Zhu Family

Chapter 343
"Mother, fish! Fish!" Guan'er squatted on the mat with her little butt pouted, and with a wooden knife cut a piece of "fish" and put it on the plate.The fish is also made of wood. The fish head, fish body, and fish tail are divided into five sections. They are stuck in the middle with sticky sticks. Everything can be cut with a wooden knife. In addition to this fish, there are also wooden eggplants, sweet potatoes, peppers, and peaches. , apricots, oranges... miscellaneous things spread out around Guan'er.Recently, this set of toys has become Guan'er's new favorite. Every time Du Rongzhi lays down under the tree to read a book, the little guy sits on the mat by himself and "cuts fish" and "vegetables", playing with his head full Khan, what a joy.

Du Rongzhi smiled and took the plate handed over by her daughter, "Would Guaner invite mother to eat fish?"

"Yeah!" The fine sunlight seemed to fall into those big black eyes, Guan'er opened her bright eyes, and nodded happily, "Mother, eat! Eat fish!"

Du Rongzhi smiled and picked up the "fish" and pretended to take a bite, relishing the taste, "Well, the fish made by our Guan'er is really delicious!"

The little guy immediately beamed with joy.

"Our Miss Sun is really filial. She knows how to be filial to the Young Madam at such a young age." Sister An watched from the side and couldn't help but smiled comfortingly.

Du Rongzhi hugged her daughter in her arms, wiped her sweat with a handkerchief, and joked with a smile, "Why do I see that this child likes the kitchen so much, does he want to be a little cook in the future? "

"Young Madam is talking nonsense again." Nanny An glared at her, "Miss Sun is sensible..."

The two were talking, when they saw Changxing striding in from the outside.

He bowed to Du Rongzhi respectfully, "Young madam, I'm busy today, if I'm late, I'll stay in the yamen, so you don't have to wait for him."

Du Rongzhi nodded, and handed Guan'er to the wet nurse, "But there's a new development in the case of the Huo family?"

"I don't know the details," Changxing replied, "It's just that the yamen has been busy going in and out for a long time, and it seems to have found some evidence..."

"Understood." Du Rongzhi thought for a while, "You go and ask Yuanyuan to find a change of clothes for you, and take them back with you later."

Changxing hurriedly agreed with a smile, and never mentioned it since he went to find his cousin.

Du Rongzhi also stood up from the reclining chair, stretched her waist lazily, "Tell them to put away everything." She squinted her eyes, looking at the sun in the sky that was gradually covered by dark clouds, "About... ...it's going to change again."

"That's, that's it." Sun Chuan looked at the jewelry box that the yamen servant found from his house, and nodded quickly, "When Xiaohong gave it to the grass people, Zeng Qian and Wan told him that this box was her lifeblood. Son, tell Caomin to take good care of it..."

Song Zixun glanced at the few pitiful pearl hairpins lying inside, raised his eyebrows and asked, "That's all?"

"So there were some valuable jewelry," Sun Chuan licked his lips, and said in a low voice, "But they were all taken by the grassroots for emergency..."

Seeing the disdain in the eyes of Wei Wu and the others, he hurriedly argued, "Xiaohong also knows about this..." He paused, and said guiltily, "Caomin told her that doing business requires capital turnover..."

Song Zixun smiled lightly, "I think the workmanship of this box is exquisite, and it should be worth a few dollars... Why don't you pawn it together?"

"That can't be done." Sun Chuan hurriedly said, "Every time Xiaohong comes back, she has to open this box to have a look..."

"What are you looking at?" Song Zixun asked casually while playing with the box in his hands.

Sun Chuan curled his lips disapprovingly, "Not all women are like this, they like to look at these shiny things when they have nothing to do... But she sometimes puts some new jewelry and silver in..."

Song Zixun ignored him, poured out all the jewelry inside, only picked up the box and looked at it carefully in front of his eyes.

The wood of the box is not good, but it is better than the exquisite carving, which depicts pavilions, towers, pavilions, flowers, grass, insects and fish, the texture is delicate and lifelike.He slowly rubbed his hand along the wall of the box, but found nothing unusual.

Could it be that he was thinking too much... It seems that it is really just an ordinary jewelry box...

Song Zixun's eyes fell on the little boy with hanging hair carved on the side of the box.

The boy squatted on the ground, raised his face and pointed to the upper left corner.

With a thought, Song Zi looked in the direction of the boy's index finger, facing somewhere on the lid of the upper box.

Wei Wu and the others stood in the distance and couldn't see clearly. They saw Song Zixun casually picked up a hairpin from the table and poked it on the lid of the box. There was a soft "pop", and the lid unexpectedly popped out. .

Everyone was startled.

Song Zixun took out a thin paper bag from inside, "Have you seen this thing before?"

Sun Chuanzheng was dumbfounded, and was suddenly pushed by Wei Wu behind him. He came back to his senses and shook his head quickly, "Caomin didn't even know that the box had a layer, so where would I see it!"

Song Zixun didn't say anything, just opened the paper bag layer by layer.

There are some dark red powders inside, probably because of the passage of time, the powder has agglomerated a little.

Song Zixun put some sticky on the tip of his nose and smelled it, "Go and ask Wu to do it."

..............................

Seeing that the dark clouds were about to subside... In the Huo Mansion, Gu's heart was also filled with anxiety.

"Oh—" She suddenly frowned and whispered.

The little girl who was kicking her legs was taken aback, quickly knelt down on the ground, and said in a trembling voice, "Aunt... slave, slave is not the reason—"

Before she could finish her sentence, a slap had already been slapped across her face, "Idiot! You can't do such a small thing well, what else can you do!"

Half of the little girl's face suddenly swelled up, and she didn't dare to cry even though she covered her face.

Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and a woman with a big arm and a round waist opened the curtain and walked in, and said with a smile, "Hey, what's wrong with Auntie? But these little hooves made Auntie angry again?" Talking to Gu Shi quickly exchanged glances.

Gu said in a bad mood, "One or two, none of them make people worry." He said with a look of disgust, "What cat pissing here, why don't you get out!"

The little girl sniffed aggrievedly, and ran out quickly.

Seeing the little girl running all the way out of the yard, Mrs. Gu was about to speak, but the woman hurriedly silenced her voice, went out and closed the door before entering the house.

"How is it?" Gu asked hurriedly.

"Don't worry, Auntie." The woman said cheerfully, "It's done!"

Gu couldn't help chanting aloud to the Buddha, and hurriedly asked, "What did Yan Dayong say? But those who sold people far away will never come back in this life?"

"I can't come back." The mother-in-law assured her, patted her chest, "Then Yan Dayong has a lot of connections, since he said there is no problem, then there must be no problem, Auntie, just rest assured..."
