Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 735 Gem Society ([-])
For a while, Li Xin sat up straight immediately, staring intently at the boulder placed on the high table on the high platform.

Guan Wen frowned, turned his head and said softly to Li Xin: "Why do I think this stone is quite similar to the one at my father-in-law's house?"

Without Li Xin's response, Guan Wen looked at Li Xin puzzled, but saw that she was also frowning, with a look of suspicion on her face.

"No way..." Guan Wen raised his finger to the high platform: "Father-in-law and mother-in-law took this stone to participate in the gem fair?"

Li Xin lowered his eyes: "I'm afraid it wasn't brought by my parents."

As if echoing her words, the master of ceremonies immediately began to introduce the origin of this stone.

"...This is a family heirloom stone. It is said that it is something that blesses the descendants, so that the descendants of it will have a happy family and a prosperous family. There are also square imprint patterns near the bottom of the stone, which endow the stone with different meanings..."

Li Xin's expression became more dignified.

At that time, she had witnessed Liu's rummaging for the special features of the stone, and she also knew that there was a pattern like a seal on the inconspicuous place on the bottom and side of the stone.At that time, she also recognized the characters. Liu Shi asked her what characters were written on it. The characters looked a little old, but Li Xin didn't recognize them, so she asked Liu Shi not to worry about the stone.

But she didn't expect that this stone would appear at the gem fair!
The master of ceremonies was still loudly saying: "This stone is presented by Li Houbo of Lijia Village to participate in the gemstone meeting. The four-square imprint pattern has been confirmed, and the four characters 'Tongzheng Heming' are engraved on it, which means that our dynasty is politically clear and the country celebrates it. Great view..."

The more Li Xin listened, the more he felt something was wrong. He gave Guan Wen a hand and said, "It's just a stone. If I try to impose some meaning on it, I'm afraid it's inappropriate..."

Li Ming, who was sitting on the side, also frowned in a rare way: "Sister, if I remember correctly, this stone should be the one that my father offered as a treasure, how could my uncle offer it up..."

Li Xin pursed his lips: "You just came back, and your parents probably haven't told you that the last time my uncle came home to make a fuss about borrowing stones to participate in this gem meeting, but my parents refused. I didn't expect that today You'll see this stone at the gem meeting."

With such an explanation, Li Ming also understood a little bit, looked at the high platform, and smiled a little more mockingly.

Li Houbo stood up with a smile on his face, bowed to the audience, and hoped that everyone would add a vote to this stone.

Perhaps the appearance of this stone is really too ordinary, let Li Houbo speak eloquently, the people below are stunned, and the atmosphere is extremely cold.

Li Houbo was so embarrassed that he couldn't get off the stage, the master of ceremonies kindly helped him find a step down, and asked someone to carry the stone down too.

Guan Wen breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Li Xin in a low voice: "It's okay, it seems that everyone has no interest in this stone."

Li Xin nodded, hesitated and said: "Ah Wen, go and find Uncle, this stone is my father's treasure all the time, if it is just gone, I don't know how anxious I am. You ask Guanshi Cao to arrange for the stone to be taken away." Send it back."

Guan Wen nodded and went to make arrangements. Li Xin sighed to Li Ming, "I don't know how parents treat uncle..."

Li Ming said indifferently: "Since the uncle refused to borrow the stone from his parents at the beginning, he should know that his parents were not willing to borrow the stone. Now that his behavior has caused resentment, it is his own fault."

Li Xin nodded slightly.

Xue Qingyan stayed here for a while, thinking that Xue Qian might find him there, so he complained to Li Xin and went down.From time to time, Yang'er and Xiaokang commented in low voices on the stones being brought up.

After a while, Guan Wen returned with a cold face, and said to Li Xin: "I found uncle, and he refused to hand over the stone to me. I think he came alone this time, and there was no one to help. I thought maybe this time He did it on his own, so he had someone snatch the stone from his hand. Now I have asked Guanshi Cao to arrange for someone to send the stone back to Lijia Village quickly."

Li Xin took a deep breath in his heart: "Where is Uncle now?"

"He walked away cursing, looking at that direction, he probably went to your third uncle."

Guan Wen rubbed his forehead, and Li Xin sneered: "At this time, uncle and third uncle know that they are united."

Guan Wen knew that Li Xin didn't want to see her two uncles, and if he asked him, it would be better not to have such relatives.

"Okay, send the stone back, don't bother with him about this matter. Otherwise, he will use his status as an elder to oppress you, and you really can't talk back." Guan Wen took a sip of tea, changed the subject and asked Xing'er : "Second brother and sister, what do you think of this gemstone?"

Xing'er laughed and said, "I haven't seen it before, but this time I can see it clearly from beginning to end. I didn't expect us ordinary people to be quite positive about gems. Look at the crowds of people around here. It's really lively. I don’t know if it will be more lively during the Lantern Festival.”

"I want to know, you also stayed here during the Lantern Festival, let's compare and feel." Li Xin invited Xing'er with a smile.

Xing'er was a little moved, thought for a while and said: "We'll see the situation at that time, let's talk about it after today's gem meeting."

Li Xin's drowsiness subsided after the matter of Li's stone, and he was bored watching the experts commenting on the stone for a while, and felt more and more boring, and was a little noisy while sitting here.

Li Xin asked Guan Wen, "Ah Wen, when will this jewel last?"

"Depending on the situation, it will be a grand event this year, and it will probably last until night." Guan Wen said, "What's the matter, can't you stay?"

Li Xin said with a little embarrassment: "It sounds noisy and dizzy. Why don't you bring Yang'er and the others to watch the fun here, and I'll go back first?"

Li Xin said to Xing'er again: "Second brother and sister, I will introduce you to Mrs. Xun, and let Mrs. Xun accompany you to watch the fun. Don't worry, Mrs. Xun is very kind and generous. I have always been on good terms with her."

Xing'er couldn't let go of the excitement, so she agreed with Li Xin's suggestion.

Li Xin brought Xing'er to Mrs. Xun, and Guan Wen sent him out of the social circle and said: "If you feel unwell, go back and rest more. You don't have to worry about Mingzi, I can take care of them here."

Li Xin nodded with a smile, and watched Guan Wen enter the thick circle of people before he and Qing Ya went to find their own carriage.

Passing by the teahouse where he stayed for lunch earlier, he happened to meet Fourth Master Shen bringing Fourth Mrs. Shen out again.

Fourth Master Shen supported Fourth Mrs. Shen's hand, and Fourth Mrs. Shen looked at him with a face of dependence, holding Fourth Master Shen's arm tightly with her small hands, her eyes full of trust and nostalgia.The two leaned on each other to help them out, and the maid who was serving Mrs. Shen's side followed Mrs. Shen's side with lowered eyebrows, observing whether Mrs. Shen's feet were safe from time to time.

Seeing Li Xin, Fourth Master Shen hurriedly stopped to greet him, and respectfully called her "Sister-in-law".Fourth Mrs. Shen also timidly called Li Xin "Sister-in-law" under the encouragement of Fourth Master Shen, which made Li Xin feel uncomfortable.

"Fourth master and fourth wife are going back?" Li Xin asked with a smile.

Fourth Master Shen nodded and said: "I didn't expect that the gemstone business would last so long. It's this time and there is no sign of it ending. My wife is impatient to wait until the end. We are going back soon."

Li Xin nodded with a smile, glanced at An Xuan and said, "Fourth wife is very lucky, fourth master is really kind to fourth wife."

An Xuan nodded shyly, and looked at Fourth Master Shen with reverence.

"Sister-in-law, we won't bother you any more." Fourth Master Shen said goodbye to Li Xin with a smile. Li Xin nodded and watched the couple leave with a low sigh.

Qing Ya said: "Ma'am, Fourth Master Shen and Fourth Mrs. Shen are truly god-like couples. Except for Master and Madam, I have never seen such a loving couple like them."

The introduction of Guan Wen and Li Xin in these words inevitably meant flattery.

Li Xin smiled wryly, and said: "No relationship exists for no reason. It is not easy for Fourth Master Shen and Fourth Mrs. Shen to come to this day."

Qingya nodded in agreement.

"Let's go."

After returning to the closed house, Li Xin washed up briefly, took a book and leaned on the couch to read.When Youyou ran over, the eldest brother said unhappily: "Mother took eldest brother out to play, and left me and second brother at home."

Li Xin smiled and said: "There are too many people over there, what if you get lost? You are a little confused, if you lose it, mother will not be able to find it back."

Youyou hugged Li Xin's arm and acted like a baby. Li Xin patted her head and asked, "Why are you the only one? Where's your second brother?"

"In the study, he said he wanted to draw." Yoyo pulled Li Xin and said, "Mother, go and have a look, go and have a look."

Li Xin smiled softly and said, "Okay, mother, go and have a look."

Mu Chun was really in the study, writing and drawing on the paper seriously with a pen, but Li Xin and Yoyo didn't notice when they came.

He is still young, so he doesn't have any rules in painting, it can only be regarded as scribbles, but it does look more mature than the paintings drawn by children of the same age, presumably he has put in a lot of effort in painting.

Yoyo followed Li Xin to watch for a while, then suddenly said: "Second brother, is this little guy Yoyo?"

Mu Chun's hands trembled, obviously frightened.Li Xin pinched Yoyo's face lightly and said: "You are so ugly, how can you scare the second brother?"

Mu Chun put down her pen, and didn't care about the ink stains on the paper, so she hurriedly saluted Li Xin, "When did mother come?"

Li Xin smiled and said: "It's been a while, Mu Chun draws too seriously, I didn't notice."

Mu Chun lowered her head in shame.

Li Xin motioned him to continue painting with a brush, and said with a smile, "It seems that Mu Chun likes painting very much."

Mu Chun pursed her lips and nodded, with a slight smile on her face.

Li Xin sighed in his heart, if Amei was still Wei's wife, since Mu Chun likes to draw, she would have to ask Wei Xingzhi to help her out.At the beginning, when I met Wei Xingzhi, I first rescued him with words on the pier, and later Wei Xingzhi gave a painting as a thank you.Wei Xingzhi's painting skills are very good. Li Xin still remembers that the painting of goshawk presented by Wei Xingzhi was pawned by Guan Zhicheng and sold for a lot of money. beat……

Now that Mu Chun likes painting, she doesn't know if it's a cycle of fate.
