Chapter 1378: Hiding a Knife in a Smile
The two of them seemed to be frozen, they couldn't believe it was real, how could something buried in the ground be seen again?
They all remember that Old Man Mu once said that this is a masterpiece, there is only this one in the world, if it is broken, it will be gone, and no amount of money can buy it back, and before he died, he specially told him to go into the coffin with him.
Seeing that their mother and son were stunned, the corners of Feng Ye's mouth hooked up a wicked smile, but it quickly disappeared, and instead of a worried expression, he asked out loud: "Don't you like it, Lord Commander?" ”
Mu Li pulled back his memories from the past, picked up the snuffbox and played with it carefully, it didn't look like a fake.
Although the memory of the snuff box has faded, with his knowledge of the collection, this snuff bottle must be genuine.
He understood that the old man's one must still be with him underground, so what was going on with this one? Is that just fake? The old man doesn't know? This kind of truth is cruel, and Mu Li doesn't think it's worth it.
He couldn't help but ask: "I like it, I like it so much, it's just a fine piece in the collection of antique snuff bottles, I'm afraid it's worth a lot of money, right?" I can't afford it. ”
"It's just an object, which is more precious than the friendship of the Venerable Master, but this snuffbox has a story that is quite touching, and it looks a little similar to the commander, so let's take a meaning, I wish the commander and his remarried wife can grow old and love each other for a lifetime." What Feng Ye said was very sincere, and Lin Qing next to him also nodded.
Everyone was puzzled after hearing this, and couldn't help but ask Feng Ye about the origin of this snuff bottle.
Feng Ye couldn't help it, so he had to tell everyone the story about the snuff bottle.
It turned out that this pair of snuff bottles was a token of love from the princess of the Tang Dynasty to the concubine.
The princess was married for the second time, and in order to express her sincerity, she specially ordered the craftsman to create a pair of snuff bottles.
One carved with a phoenix was brought with him, and the other was carved with a dragon for the horse.
Of course, this dragon is not a real dragon, a real dragon can only be worn by the emperor, in fact, it is a big python.
Mu Li's memory of the snuff box carved on it is exactly such a pattern, he was still curious, why the top suddenly looked like a dragon and a snake, he couldn't understand what it was.
Later, the colt was killed in battle with the snuffbox, and the body was brought back, and he still held the snuffbox tightly in his hand.
The princess could not withstand the blow of the widower, passed on a pair of snuff bottles to her descendants, and followed the horse to the Nine Springs.
This pair of snuff bottles has been passed down from generation to generation, but in modern times, they were lost in the war, not in the hands of the princess's descendants, and a pair of snuff bottles were separated.
Among them, the snuff bottle carved with a phoenix was auctioned by Feng Ye at an auction a few days ago.
This time, he was invited to attend Mu Li's birthday banquet, and he couldn't find a suitable gift for a while, but Lin Qing suggested that he could give him this snuffbox, he likes to collect things like mutton fat jade.
After listening to the origin of this pair of snuff bottles, everyone couldn't help but clap their hands and admire, for the princess and the horse to shock the love of ghosts and gods.
At the same time, it also blesses the relationship between Muli and Bai Xue for the beautiful meaning of this snuff bottle.
Bai Xue was very happy, she didn't expect Feng Ye to give them such a good thing, it was a love evidence that has been passed down for thousands of years, this beautiful meaning and color will definitely bless her and Mu Li's relationship for a long time.
But Mu Li and Shen Yuhe didn't believe that things were as simple as Feng Ye said, the snuff bottles were separated during the war years, and they each had their owners, since they were pairs, they would definitely be collected in pairs, if not, they would be worthless, and they would have lost their original value and significance.
Shen Yuhe guessed that Tang Jiaojiao was likely to be the descendant of the princess, and she gave a snuff bottle she inherited to Old Man Mu as a token of love.
And in the end, what prompted her to make up her mind should be that Shen Yuhe married Old Man Mu.
At that time, she was pregnant, and the beloved man married a wife, in order to keep his heart, he could only take out the ancestral love token to prove his feelings, and he would not marry.
This is also the reason why Shen Yuhe didn't see Old Man Mu holding a snuffbox at first.
Later, she pushed Tang Jiaojiao off the cliff, and the snuffbox disappeared with Tang Jiaojiao.
Old man Mu put all his love for her into the pair of snuff bottles, so that he would hold them day and night, not let others touch them, and even after his death, he would be buried with the sheep fat jade snuff bottle.
Mu Li also guessed the same, but he didn't know the specific things about Tang Jiaojiao, but he just felt that the snuffbox might have been inherited by Feng Ye from his mother and given to him today, and he told the story of the snuff bottle, just to tell him and Shen Yuhe that the woman that Old Man Mu had loved from beginning to end was Tang Jiaojiao, not her Shen Yuhe.
To put it bluntly, it is to use Mu Li's business to send such an object, which is to insert a knife in the hearts of their mother and son, and push them into the unbearable past that has almost been indifferent. 67.356
Of course, all this has been done without a trace, and Mu Li, who received the snuffbox, could not have any emotions towards him except for gratitude, except for swallowing this mouthful of coptis.
This play is so wonderful that Mu Li can't help but applaud it, this is probably the real beginning.
After doing so many pre-AA plays, this is just beginning to kick off and get into the theme.
This is exactly what Mu Li has been waiting for, and he is even more convinced that Feng Ye is Tang Ming, and he is also the son of Tang Jiaojiao, the woman who is outside by Old Man Mu, and he is a half-brother, and it is precisely because of this that he has a god-like face with him.
Now that the show has begun, he can't help but cooperate, calmly put the mutton fat jade snuff bottle layer by layer, and then solemnly handed it to Bai Xue, and commanded softly: "Send it to my study, such a precious gift, I want to treasure it." ”
Bai Xue smiled and took the rosewood brocade box and went upstairs.
Seeing her back disappear on the stairs, Mu Li smiled and said, "I will definitely grow old with my beloved." ”
After speaking, his eyes swept over Lin Qing's face lightly, and then fixed on Feng Ye's face: "I also wish Feng Ye can grow old with his beloved woman." ”
Feng Ye listened to his words, his eyes flashed with unconcealable pride, and he smiled: "It will definitely be." ”
His gift completely disrupted Shen Yuhe's plan, and he originally planned to use Mu Li's birthday banquet to push him back into his original social circle, but Feng Ye's gift made her feel terrified.
Revenge has finally come, Tang Ming is a terrible character, not revenge.
Instead, she hid a knife in her smile, so that she couldn't say anything when she was stabbed in the chest by a knife, such a person was terrible.
She could even imagine that from the beginning of Orange's disappearance, he had opened his net of revenge.
The gift turmoil passed quickly, and everyone was immersed in the joy of the party.
There was still a while to cut the cake, and Shen Yuhe quietly returned to the room, she lay on the bed, trying to calm her emotions.
Even if Tang Ming's revenge plan started, she couldn't panic, at this time, she had to stabilize her position, and she couldn't let Mu Li notice anything, she didn't know that he had quietly sent someone to check Feng Ye's background.
The mutton fat jade snuff box carved with a phoenix must be Tang Jiaojiao's thing, but now it is given to Mu Li, this is a naked provocation, what if he is ridiculed as a son-in-law, it is not that he can't get his father's favor, and he is no different from him.
Shen Yuhe could even guess that since this mutton fat jade snuff bottle was Tang Jiaojiao's thing, Feng Ye would not let it stay in Mu Li's hands for a long time, and he would definitely take it back, as for how to take it, it was unknown.
After careful consideration, Shen Yuhe decided to continue with her original plan, not to be frightened by Feng Ye and give up her original plan.
Thinking of this, she sat up from the bed, and when she was about to go out, there was a knock on the door, and then Aunt Li came in and asked her to go out quickly, and it would be time to cut the cake in a while.
She saw that Shen Yuhe's expression seemed to be different from usual, and asked with some curiosity, "Old sister, are you okay?" ”
Shen Yuhe looked at her with a smile and asked out loud, "Do you think I feel like something's wrong?" ”
Aunt Li smiled and shook her head, and the two walked out of the room together.
At eight o'clock, Bai Xue clapped his hands, and the noisy banquet hall fell silent.
The babysitter pushes the cake, and it's time to make a wish and cut the birthday cake.
Shen Yuhe took Yang Li's hand and stood between Bai Xue and Mu Li, deliberately letting Yang Li and Mu Li stand together.
Bai Xue looked at Shen Yuhe with some embarrassment, Shen Yuhe didn't pay attention to her at all, she had no choice but to turn around, ready to go from behind Shen Yuhe to Mu Li's side, but she didn't want Aunt Li to block there, and asked with a smile: "Start cutting the cake, don't walk around first." ”
Bai Xue had no choice but to turn around and stand again, so many people surrounded them, although it was only separated by two people, but it was really not easy to think of Mu Li's side, she could only stand obediently by Shen Yuhe's side, and watched Yang Li stand beside Mu Li and cut the cake with him.
It was as if she were the Commander's Lady and that she was just a guest.
This unexpected situation made her feel flustered, and on such an occasion, Shen Yuhe made such a gesture, clearly not admitting or telling everyone that she didn't like her daughter-in-law, and hoped that Yang Li could be with Mu Li.
She knew that there was nothing good for Yang Li to enter the Mu family, maybe this was something that their mother and son had already discussed, and in the name of taking care of the old lady, let Yang Li intervene in their family life and slowly squeeze her out.
It's too much, it's just too much, she was toyed with by Mu Li.
He didn't love her at all, and after they got married, they didn't even have a room, and no one would believe it, but it was the truth.
A fact that makes her dumb and suffers and can't be said, saying it will only make others laugh, she is not a woman.
Tears flooded in her heart, but her face could only pretend to be indifferent, she couldn't let people see jokes, she knew that these guests who came today were all mutual friends of Lin Qing and Mu Li in the past, and they didn't like her.
After cutting the cake and making a wish, when Mu Li was about to announce his free activities, Shen Yuhe said to Mu Li with a smile: "Son, today my mother will also give you a gift." ”
"Oh? I'm looking forward to what my mom is going to give me. Mu Li asked with a smile.
Shen Yuhe gave Aunt Li a look, and Aunt Li handed over a beautiful box.
Mu Li took it with both hands, and when he looked at the packaging, he understood that it was a hand-sewn suit in Italy.
He smiled in surprise: "Great, this is the clothes I received from my mother many years later, just like when I was a child." ”
Shen Yuhe looked at him kindly, and laughed out loud: "It was Yang Li who chose it for me, if you like it, you can't keep up with the fashion of your young people when you are old, fortunately she helps me, she is a good girl, and she will be a good daughter-in-law in the future." ”
Her words were vague, as if she was hinting at something, but not at all.
But everyone understood what she meant, and applauded in unison, although they didn't know Yang Li, but seeing her gentle, it was like seeing Lin Qing in the past, much stronger than the arrogant and noble Bai Xue.
Bai Xue looks like a white lotus, she looks noble, but she is a scheming inside, even if she is smiling, she is unapproachable.
