Sign in and get rich in farming

Yu Hongdou thought she would hear a thrilling battle of wits, or perhaps a hearty fight scene. She was fully prepared to listen to the story, but in the end, Tan Langxiu and the other three just dismissed her.

"Catch the turtle in the jar." After Tan Langxu said this, there was an immediate booing.

Yu Hongdou was speechless. She looked at Tan Langxu carefully and found that he really had no intention of adding anything. Finally, she couldn't help but let out a "tsk".

"Okay, let's eat first~" Mo Shougui handed the golden nut parts to Master Shang who had been eyeing him eagerly, helping his apprentice to get out of trouble.

The banquet had already been prepared and served, but they were talking and Qian Sanmei and the others didn't urge them to come.

“Brother, this…” Master Shang finally touched this thing, and his first reaction was whether he could take it back.

"No, this was bought with real money by Hongdou." Mo Shougui glared at his junior brother. He was really addicted to being an official. He wanted to confiscate everything.

"That's not what I meant. I was asking if you could give me a copy of the drawing later, so that I can find some clues to match it up." Master Shang changed his words spinelessly.

This is not a big problem, Mo Shougui pointed at Yu Hongdou, and they, the master and disciple, have been drawing this thing a lot in the past two days.

"Ah~" Speaking of this, Yu Hongdou suddenly remembered yesterday's experience. Her first reaction was to go and see the big water tank against the wall in the yard.

The fish was brought back and Qian Sanmei put it in the water tank.

"It's alive and well. I just fed it some food and it's eating happily." Yu Hongdou's eyes moved, and Tan Yanlin noticed it and gave her an answer immediately.

When Tan Bailu heard it, he immediately pricked up his ears and looked over with curious big eyes shining.

...This fifth brother has maintained the heart of a child for the past ten years, Yu Hongdou and Tan Yanlin complained at the same time.

"Come to think of it~ You guys didn't have a good time either, red beans were so popular yesterday..."

Mo Shougui looked at Master Shang, who was holding the golden parts like a child, stroked his beard, and spoke with a smug look about him about yesterday's fishing trip.

"Then the fish spit out a golden bead? Is that true?" Tan Bailu was stunned and felt as if he had missed a mountain of gold.

"Really? But it's not the gold bead. It's inside this thing." Yu Hongdou nodded and pointed to the nut part in Master Shang's arms.

"?" No one present knew about this, and instantly focused their attention on where Yu Hongdou pointed.

Master Shang became the target of everyone's criticism and felt that the thing in his hand was a little hot.

"Let me see it!" Mo Shougui snatched the part back and began to explore it with his hands.

He had long wanted to open it and take a look, but because he had no tools at the moment and there were many people in the Yu family, he was afraid that he would find out something and could not hide it, so he wanted to wait until he returned to the farm.

I didn't expect that the little apprentice would discover it and open it so cleverly without even telling him!

"Hehe, I got up too early in the morning and was a little dazed, so I forgot about it." Yu Hongdou was glared at by the teacher and smiled foolishly with a guilty conscience.

"Use the door latch~" Seeing the teacher fiddling with it over and over again, Yu Hongdou immediately sold the tool he was using to make amends.

As a result, she got another cold eye from her teacher. She took apart such a delicate thing in such a violent way!

Although he thought so, when Tan Bailu happily handed the door bolt to him, Mo Shougui did not refuse.

"Teacher, be careful. There are several gold beads inside." Yu Hongdou pointed to the inner ring of the nut.

Mo Shougui understood what he meant, and while twisting the inner circle, he lifted up the hem of his clothes.

Mo Shougui's hands were more nimble and stronger than Yu Hongdou's. He used the force to twist the inner ring off in just a few moves.

"Huh?" There was a row of golden beads quietly embedded in the inner circle. Tan Bailu felt that it looked somewhat familiar. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

"What's the matter?" Seeing his expression, they knew something was wrong. Yu Hongdou, Tan Langxiu and Tan Yanlin all looked over at him instantly.

"My son's toy~" Tan Bailu said, pointing at Jinzhu.

"? Fifth brother, is your family still in need of a child?" Yu Hongdou looked at the golden beads in the inner circle that seemed to be attracted by a magnet, then looked at Tan Yanlin, teasing him jokingly.

At this moment, Yu Hongdou was still thinking that the gold beads that Tan Bailu mentioned must be real gold beads. The only difference between them and the gold beads in the spare parts was probably the material.

But Tan Bailu's next sentence surprised her and everyone present again.

"Two years ago, a man named Bai, who was in charge of purchasing sundries for the government, visited my home and gave me a box of gold beads, saying they were for my children to play with."

"You know my wife, she spoils the child the most, so she really gave it to the child to play with."

"I was playing with him a few days ago, and I found that he was using a gold bead as a marble to smash a plate. Other beads would break if they were hit on a plate once or twice out of ten, but this one would break directly as long as it touched the plate."

"Gradually my son only used that one. I took it and looked at it, and found that it was a fake gold bead, so I let him play with it."

Tan Bailu said this with an innocent look on his face. Who knew this thing was such a rare item?

At that time, he was still muttering, wondering how could someone give fake gifts and not be afraid of making him angry.

“……” What does it mean to do something effortlessly? This is it.

"I'll ask someone to put it away when I get back." Tan Bailu couldn't stand the silence at the scene and took the initiative to propose compensatory measures.

Yu Hongdou realized belatedly, "Fifth brother, the family that sent the gift is surnamed Bai? Are they from Xingsheng Town?"

Tan Bailu thought for a moment and nodded.

Yu Hongdou immediately locked on the candidate: "If I'm not mistaken, he should be the grandson of the old white-haired man."

"Is he the one who asked Zhang Laosan to find a red carp every year for his birthday?" Mo Shougui had a slight impression of Old Baitou.

Yu Hongdou nodded and told her the story about the old man meeting the fairy that her eldest cousin's wife had told her.

“Is it so easy to meet an immortal these days…” Tan Bailu was actually full of envy after hearing this. He thought that if he had such an opportunity when he was young, he might have ascended to heaven now.

……

Unexpectedly, while showing off an anecdote, she unexpectedly found a golden bead. Yu Hongdou was surprised and delighted. She raised her glass and toasted Tan Bailu with tea instead of wine.

The toast got out of control and the brothers of the Tan family began to drink together. Master Shang saw that there was no opportunity and pulled Yu Hongdou and his senior brother aside to talk about why they were not allowed to mention the mysterious secret room in the underground palace.

"When Hongdou was arrested, the underground palace was discovered. After the report was made, people were sent down. However, they went to investigate the underground palace as soon as they arrived, and there was no news since then."

"When the third brother came back yesterday and told us about it, we thought it was a serious matter, so we passed the message to our superiors. However, as soon as the message was sent out, those people showed up again, took over the matter, and issued a gag order."

"There are too many strange things going on here. You guys have been in the spotlight lately, so it's better to stay away from it."

Master Shang looked solemn and whispered instructions to Hongdou and his senior brother. He couldn't say more details as he was full of doubts.

Those people came and went mysteriously, and Master Shang suspected that they were hiding in Wu'an County or near Taoyuan Village, secretly spying on or investigating any unusual occurrences nearby.
