Chapter 423 The Golden Branch Will Not Come Down 14
Yueping's eyes rolled, and she immediately reacted, nodding heavily: "Like!"

When she said this, she remembered one more thing, and her pretty face immediately climbed into a cloud.

During the few days when Miss was ill, after Mother Zhou and the two wives left, she also slipped in and stole a hairpin, which was eventually exposed by Miss...

Yueping's mood was very complicated, she didn't know whether she should thank the hairpin, maybe it was because of her mistake at that time, that made her fall into the eyes of the young lady, and lead her current life with such a bright future.

Fortunately, she returned the hairpin in time, otherwise the lady would have looked down on her as a thief, and might have handed her over to the government long ago.

"If you took mine, you have to return it..." Lan Shuying looked in the direction of Zhou's mother's courtyard faintly, "Call Master Zou, let's go there for a stroll."

"Eh!"

Yueping understood that the meaning of asking Master Zou to go with her probably had something to do with force.With the old lady's stingy temper, she would never hand over those things easily.

At this time, at Zhou's mother's place, Zhou Kuang rarely showed up.

The mother and son sat and stood, both moaning and sighing.

The small plates of leftovers from breakfast had already lost their heat on the table.

Zhou's mother touched the plaster on her temples. Compared with when Sister-in-law Xiang was still there, she seemed to be ten years older, with a lot of white catkins on her hair.

"Son, this family, I'm afraid my mother won't be here for long... You see, there are so many miscellaneous things here and there, and the servants we raise are as stupid as pigs, and I have to make decisions on everything. At night, you can't rest. If you continue to suffer like this, alas, I'm afraid that half of your body will be buried in the soil, and you may be gone someday!"

She cried and howled, speaking extremely miserable.

Zhou Kuang wanted to ask a housekeeper to come back to help with the cooking, but suddenly remembered that Mrs. Guo was unwilling.

He was silent for a few seconds, feeling a little strange in his heart: How long has it been since he saw Guo Shi's smiling face?That kind of... gentle and cautious smile.

In my impression, Mrs. Guo was a proud and naive young lady at first. She trusted him so much and believed whatever she said.Later, she broke up with Guo Huaide for him, rolled up her long hair, became his wife, and obeyed him even more.

When did she start to become the unreliable look she is now?
Zhou Kuang already felt a sense of crisis at this time.

He listened to his mother's complaints, but it just went in his left ear and out his right ear. What he thought about was how to win back Guo Shi's heart so that she would continue to pay for him as before.

Who told him that he just spent 1000 taels of silver for Yiyi, but now his pocket is empty, and he is too embarrassed to ask friends to drink...

"Are you listening to me?"

Mother Zhou's voice suddenly became severe, which made Zhou Kuang tremble.

He coughed twice, and was about to say something nice to coax his old lady to stop her babbling, when suddenly there was a sound of footsteps, and a brightly colored hem of clothes swayed in from the door.

Huh, isn't it?
Zhou Kuang recognized that it was Guo Shi's favorite red dress with brocade and crane patterns, and it was she who came.

He put on a smirk and went up to greet Lan Shuying, only to be blocked by Yueping.

Lan Shuying's eyes didn't turn to Zhou Kuang's face at all.

She wandered around Mother Zhou's room, and everything she touched with her fingertips was packed into cloth bags by Master Zou behind.

The master and servant cooperated tacitly, one recognized and the other took.

When Zhou's mother came up to stop them crying, the cloth bag seemed to be bulging, and there were at least five antique ornaments in it.

"Put it down! Put it all down, you two robbers!"

Zhou's mother was so angry that she didn't even recognize that none of the things they took was from her, and they were all things she took advantage of.

"Bandits? That's a new idea." Lan Shuying turned her head, sneered contemptuously, and said, "Open your eyes and see clearly, one by one, tell me, where did they all come from? "

With two fingers she lifted a small ball from the cloth bag.

This is a hollow carved silver incense ball, exquisitely made, showing patterns of flowers and birds.

Guo Yizhen likes this kind of gadget, but she doesn't use it to hold spices, but just put it on the shelf, and when she thinks of it, she can take it in her hand and play with it.

Zhou's mother squinted her eyes to see it clearly, and her heart skipped a beat—if a thief was caught on the spot, wouldn't he be flustered?

Because Guo Yizhen didn't drink the bowl of sterilization medicine, Zhou's mother failed to have a successful attack. During this time, she worried many times, for fear that Guo's theft would be discovered.

It's impossible to go back. Zhou's mother wants to find someone to dispose of the things, even if they are sold at a low price. You must know that most of Guo's things are brought out from home, and most of them are rare treasures.

Buying and selling without capital, no matter what you do, you will make a fortune.

Wait a minute...Mother Zhou realized that she had forgotten something just now. She came closer to look at this incense ball, and she was even more sure that she remembered correctly: this incense ball, she had obviously sold it a few days ago, 36 taels The silver is still pressed at the bottom of the box!
Why are you running back with long legs?
Could it be that Mrs. Guo bought it from outside again, and then let someone put it in her yard, so as to plan today's "catch the thief and take the stolen goods"?
Zhou's mother said with a straight face: "Mr. Guo, why are you trying to play crazy? What is this, why is it in my room?" She looked at Master Zou, and was even more displeased, "You actually brought a foreigner in privately? Is there any rules, do you have my mother-in-law in your eyes?!"

Lan Shuying ignored her second sentence, but clapped her hands, "Yes, it was originally something in my room, but I'm also very curious about how it ended up here."

Zhou's mother pretended to be calm, insisting that she didn't know anything and didn't know what it was.

Zhou Kuang wanted to speak for her, but was suddenly stabbed with a knife from behind, and passed out.

His body fell down, revealing Yueping's proud smiling face behind him.

"But I heard from a person that you always sold this thing to him. It was supposed to be 35 taels of silver. You are desperately trying to add a tael, but it doesn't look like the owner of the money, so he remembered Especially clear." Lan Shuying turned her head, "Shopkeeper Yan, please come out and identify, is this old lady who sold you the incense ball?"

A short, fat, middle-aged man came over, took one look at Zhou's mother, and then nodded affirmatively: "It's her, that's right! She was wearing the same clothes that day. Look at her clothes, she should be a rich man. Just because of such a tael of silver, I have been arguing with me for a long time, and it's hard not to recognize her!"

Master Zou looked interesting and laughed out loud.

Zhou's mother was still stubborn, "Who told you to bring someone back from outside! I don't even know what nonsense this person is talking about. Who sold him something? Come, drive him out!"

Shopkeeper Yan couldn't help being annoyed seeing her attitude.

He took the incense ball, first reported its size and weight, then explained the craftsmanship and materials, and finally said:

"When this lady told me the matter, I knew who was right. As I said just now, this is an original handicraft of the Lintong Zhao family. Only ten incense balls with flower and bird patterns have been made. Then, This one, it's a magpie heralding the spring, it's ranked sixth."

Shopkeeper Yan took a special look at Zhou's mother, and emphasized his tone: "This is the only one in the whole world."

Lan Shuying added with a smile: "There are no imitations. If anyone can imitate, there will not be only one Lintong Zhao family."

She didn't expect shopkeeper Yan to say so much to slap Zhou's mother in the face, but she was very happy to see it.

"You may not know that I have a bad habit. All the collections I like must be engraved with my name to be satisfied."

She took the incense ball, turned on the rotating shaft, and approached Mother Zhou.

Three small characters are spelled out with fine strokes: Guo, Yi, Zhen.

The difficulty of this micro-carving process may be higher than that of the whole incense ball. It really made this incense ball speak for itself, and it recognized who its owner was.
