Mu Shou has two treasured fan pendants, one is Hanyu's, the other is Hetian jade, used for more than 20 years, hanging on the fan all day long, using this one today, and that one tomorrow.

In fact, the two fan pendants were bought no more than fifty taels when they were bought, and one of them was a reward from Mu Chun, Mu Shou in order to show his wealth in front of people, not to say that it was a treasure worth five hundred taels of silver.

Of course, jade has been raised for so many years, and it is a rare good thing if it is not a treasure, especially for the Mu family, it is recognized by outsiders that the value of the fan pendant is far more than five hundred taels, after all, it was given by the late Mu Wangye.

In order to please his future daughter-in-law, Mu Shou was rare and generous, and asked his wife to take the pendant over, and any family could choose one at will.

He couldn't put it down when he saw it, he wanted to keep this, but he couldn't leave that, and he was very distressed.

Anyway, sooner or later it has to be left to the daughter-in-law, Mu Shou's wife simply said: "Since you love both of them, it's better to take them all." If your father-in-law wants to use it, he will buy it. ”

He was spoiled by his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and he was his own relatives and elders, so he didn't need to scruple about it, he immediately accepted it, and took turns hanging it on the fan every day.

In this way, Mu Shou's fan pendant was taken away by his daughter-in-law, and he could only pinch a bare fan all day long.

When eating tea and setting up the dragon gate array, the neighbor asked, "Where are your five hundred taels of things?" ”

Mu Shou said casually: "I have always kept it in the study, and one day I took it into the back house, and it happened to be seen by my daughter-in-law and begged for it." ”

The people around smiled. Some people who have been slandered by Mu Shou hold a grudge, and when they talk about it, they deliberately say that they are afraid that it is not him who picked up the ashes, and gave it to their daughter-in-law to make a mark.

Some people who knew the details did not let go of this opportunity, saying: "That's not it, but his stupid son doesn't like his daughter-in-law, so he borrows the treasure of death to replace the treasure of life, so as not to cause discord between husband and wife and peace in the house." ”

Everyone laughed, and Mu Shou regretted his words. It is clear that it cannot be explained at this time. Otherwise, the more you depict it, the darker it gets, and you can only secretly endure it.

The neighbor across the wall of He's house is a scholar, not to mention the poverty, and the reading atmosphere in Yunnan is average. It is difficult for those who have money to find a place to go to school. Moreover, the family is poor. I study hard at home all year round.

He found that someone next door was reading aloud all day long, and he was still chattering at the fourth watch in the evening, and asked his mother-in-law: "The person reading next door is a showman." Or is it a child? ”

The mother-in-law said: "It's an old boy, how many talents have we produced in Yunnan over the years?" What does he do, you ask? ”

He sighed and said: "I see that people are so attentive to reading, and I will definitely become a dignitary in front of people in the future." ”

This sentence is unintentional, who knows that the mother-in-law misunderstood, and said to her husband at night: "The daughter-in-law's bedroom is connected to the Tang family's study, whether the daughter-in-law is unintentional or intentional, it is not a good sign after all, it is better for you and me to move to the back, let the daughter-in-law move to the front, and she listened to the sound of reading day and night, and moved the idea of pity in the play." ”

"You're right." Mu Shou didn't dare to slack off, and Zhang Luo changed the room the next day.

Unexpectedly, in less than three days, Tang Tongsheng also moved to the next door of He's family, and he didn't care about anything all day long, who knew that the food on the plate was hard.

Dare to love Tang Tongsheng is a gentleman, I heard that the little daughter-in-law of the He family who lived next door was worried about the suspicion of melons and plums, so he took the initiative to move the study to the front.

The Mu family changed houses, and they wouldn't run to inform him, where did people know? As a result, the original intention was to avoid suspicion, but it provoked suspicion.

He is a smart woman, when she changed rooms, she already knew that her father-in-law and mother-in-law suspected that she had evil thoughts, and at this moment she heard the sound of reading again, and she became more and more bored, thinking that Tang Tongsheng intended to follow her, and the explanation was not clear, so she couldn't help but feel ashamed and hateful.

Obviously she didn't have any fault, but she felt guilty, feudal education killed people. For example, if the weather is hot and you change your clothes, you are seen by outsiders, if you are a sister in the future, you will be scolded and scolded, and I will take you off but I can't see it; And the women of ancient times first took the blame for why they took off their clothes. actually seduced a man.

Anyway, Mu Shou and his wife were shocked by this, and guessed if there was something unscrupulous in this? Seeing that He's face was ashamed of Bala, his suspicion became even more suspicious.

Mu Shou was so anxious that he said, "Look at this scene, can't you do something ugly?" ”

The mother-in-law said calmly: "Although there are deeds, there is no evidence." We can't say it for no reason, we have to pay attention to it. ”

After that, the couple didn't sleep every night, lying outside to eavesdrop on the movements in their daughter-in-law's room, and they didn't find evidence for half a month.

On this day, Tang Tongsheng took a book on the shelf, opened it and read it for a while, and suddenly found that there was something in the book, like a small stone.

Picking it out and taking a closer look, it turned out to be a rare ancient jade pendant, Tang Tongsheng was shocked and said, "Where did this come from?" I don't have this thing in my house, could it be that the gods pity me? But why not give some silver? What is the use of these toys that are cold and hungry? ”

After thinking about it, Tang Tongsheng smiled and said: "Jade can also be sold for silver, I will hang it on the fan first, and if someone wants to sell it, I will sell it to him and exchange it for some rice and paper." ”

But he didn't know how much it was worth, Tang Tongsheng planned to find an expert first to help him estimate the price, but he was reluctant to go to the jade store to spend money.

At night, the neighbors were all enjoying the shade under the tree, Tang Tongsheng passed by with a fan, and the neighbor said: "Tang Daguan is too attentive to studying, and on such a hot day, you have to come over to cool down, don't get sick from heat stroke." ”

Tang Tongsheng walked over and sat down, chatting with the neighbors, holding a fan in his hand, and getting the jade pendant around.

The sharp-eyed neighbor asked, "Where did you get a good jade pendant?" ”

Tang Tongsheng said: "It was given by a friend, and I plan to sell it now, but I don't know how much it is worth, so help me estimate it." ”

The neighbors took it and admired it, and then you look at me, and I look at you, and no one is silent.

Tang Tongsheng asked, "What's the matter, is there a price?" ”

The big guys shook their heads and said, "We don't understand the jade, but we don't dare to estimate it indiscriminately, let's find someone who knows the goods to show it for you another day." ”

"That's fine, you have to worry about your good neighbors." Tang Tongsheng thanked Si Swenwen, sat for a while, got up and went home to continue to study hard.

As soon as the others left, the neighbors seemed to have fried the pot, and someone said: "It's amazing, that fan pendant is obviously from Master Mu, he said it was given to his daughter-in-law, why did it go to Xiao Tang's hands?" Could it be that Xiao Tang and his daughter-in-law had some hooks and sent Xiao Tang to make a watch? ”

"Just now he said that it was sent by someone, thinking that he is a poor ghost, who would give him such a good thing? What about a hundred taels of silver? A neighbor shook his head, "Needless to say, the daughter-in-law of the Mu family thinks her husband is ugly and demented, and she loves the appearance and character of the Tang official, and the two of them got their hands on it and gave it to him, what else is there to say." ”

A daughter-in-law suddenly sneered: "It's hateful that Mu Lao Wang Ba is soft-mouthed and thin-tongued on weekdays, and talks about other people's secrets behind his back, I want to use this incident to gag his mouth, and also make him lose face." ”

The elder said: "The things in the world are much the same, do you know if it is the Mu family?" It's better to say tomorrow that Xiao Tang got a jade pendant, and we will help with the valuation, we don't know the goods, teach Master Mu to estimate, see if he recognizes this stubble, don't you know? If it is really his, we might as well be mean to the face, and treat others in the way of others, it is not an exaggeration, who let Master Mu say that our parents are short all day long. ”

It is also that Mu Shou offends too many people on weekdays, and no one is willing to think about him. On the second day, when Mu Shou came out, the neighbors who had already planned invited him into the teahouse to sit, and he said that he couldn't afford to see the fan pendant yesterday.

Mu Shou has been in the Mu family for many years, what good things have you never seen? He immediately said, "Then I'll go and see what kind of good thing it is." Don't brag, my Lao Mu will never look away, and I can estimate eight or nine at a glance. ”

There were a few good offspring who wanted to go to Tang's house with him, and the elderly neighbors shook their heads at them and said, "Just ask him to bring it, and let's open our eyes." ”

This is because he is afraid that Tang Tongsheng has a ghost in his heart, and he will not take it out when he sees Mu Shou, and he can't make fun of Mu Shou without credentials.

deliberately arranged for someone to trick Tang Tong into giving birth, but who knew that the people had no shame in their hearts, so they directly handed over the pendant and followed it out.

When he saw Mu Shou, he said loudly; "Uncle Mu, this pendant is what you are used to, you are well-informed, help me see how much it is worth?"

The big guy couldn't help muttering in his heart, it seemed that he had misunderstood. Unexpectedly, Mu Shou pinched the pendant, his face turned red in an instant, and fire could erupt from his eyes, and the whole person was out of shape.

Yo West! Now there is a lively look, lest the eyes of the people who are not chaotic in the world shoot on Mu Shou's face, and they don't want to miss this unforgettable moment of history, and Mu Shou's eyes are nailed to Tang Tongsheng's face.

Only Tang Tongsheng was inexplicable, and said with a smile: "Could it be that the old man suspects that my poor family shouldn't have jade?" I'll be honest with you, it was given to me by a friend. ”

The problem is that this sentence is unintentional, and in an instant, it is like adding fuel to the fire, Mu Shou's face is becoming more and more ugly, and his heart says that it is clear that this guy has slept with his daughter-in-law, and he dares to ridicule Lao Tzu in person?

Okay, you bastard, Mu Shou was about to roar and beat people on the spot, and then thought: "No, so many people are present, if I have a seizure, I will have to make a fuss, and the scandal in the family will also be spread, won't my old face be gone?" ”

Thinking about it like this, Mu Shou sensitively noticed all kinds of ill-intentioned eyes, changed his smiling face like lightning, and said with a smile: "The house is the old home, and the scholarly family for several lifetimes, how can there be no jade?" It doesn't have to be sent by someone, right? Oh, I saw that this pendant was the same as the style I gave up, so I hesitated in my heart, and wanted to buy it to make a pair, worried that I would ask for a high price, and deliberately looked at the words. ”

Tang Tongsheng said with a smile: "Since the old man wants it, he can just give it casually, how dare he discuss the price?" ”

When the people around saw this, who still believed the nonsense that Mu Shou wanted to cover up? strung each other with their eyes, naturally they would not let Mu Shou give up a few taels of silver, and after buying it back, he would destroy the corpse and destroy the traces, and he must make a fool of himself in person.

In the future, if he dares to talk about our ugly things behind his back, we will have a handle to plug his mouth! (To be continued......)
