The return of the son-in-law

"Fengchai is gone?" Guo Zhanan looked at Liu Pianpian and asked with a smile, "I wonder when my wife found out? How did you come to my yard to look for it?"

Liu Pianpian pretended to smile and said: "Last night, I found that it was missing. I had someone search the house up and down, but they didn't find it. No, you are left with this yard. Zhan'an, it's not that I doubt it." You, it’s not that everyone’s things have been checked, nothing is found, and your yard is left.”

"Oh? Ma'am, isn't that suspicious of me?" Guo Zhan'an was too lazy to play Tai Chi with Liu Pianpian, and directly exposed her dirty thoughts, "I haven't found it anywhere else in the mansion. Could it be that Fengchai is in my yard?"

In her heart, Liu Pianpian scolded Guo Zhan'an so badly, but she still had to put on a pleasant face and said, "Why? Although you are not my own, you grew up in front of me anyway. I don't know who you are?"

Guo Zhan'an smiled back: "Thank you, Madam, for trusting me so much. Jia Huan, send Madam back."

Liu Pianpian's face froze, and she forced a smile and said, "Zhan An, what nonsense are you talking about? This yard hasn't been searched yet, how could I just leave like this?"

Guo Zhanan looked at Liu Pianpian in confusion: "What is the wife talking about? Since the wife trusts me, I don't think there is any need to search this yard."

Liu Pianpian hurriedly said: "Of course I believe you, but what if there are dozens of people in your yard with dirty hands and feet? Zhan'an, I've searched all over the place in this mansion, but Your yard is left. As for me, it’s for your own good. If you don’t search your yard alone, what will the people in the mansion think? After all, this Fengchai has never been found.”

Guo Zhanan frowned and said, "Madam, do you have to search this yard?"

Seeing him loosen, Liu Pianpian was overjoyed and said, "Of course, it's for your own good."

"Then if I can't find this phoenix hairpin in my yard, what is my wife going to do?"

Liu Pianpian was speechless for a while, she had thought about it a long time ago, when she brought someone in to search, and took advantage of people's unpreparedness, she threw the phoenix hairpin hidden in the secret pocket of her sleeve everywhere, and let others search it out.At that time, I have "material evidence", let's see what Guo Zhan'an has to say!

Seeing her like this, Guo Zhan'an recalled that Liu Pianpian had just entered the palace to meet Concubine Liu yesterday, what did he not understand?

But since the other party has put in so much effort and put on such a good show, why should he let Liu Pianpian's painstaking efforts go to waste?

"Madam, please."

Huo Yu was practicing calligraphy in the study at the moment, when he suddenly heard a commotion outside, and then Fuquan walked into the study quickly, and said, "Master Huo, the young master called you out."

"What's going on?" Huo Yu put down his brush and looked out of the window curiously, "How did these people get in?"

"Madam said that a phoenix hairpin given by Concubine Liu has disappeared, and I have searched in other places in the mansion, but there is no sign of the phoenix hairpin."

"Then you can't enter brother's yard." Huo Yu was displeased after hearing this, "What is it like to spread it? There are no other places. Could it be that brother stole Fengchai?"

Fuquan smiled wryly and said, "They won't be allowed to search, and it's because the young master is timid and stopped them from searching."

"Joke!" Huo Yu said angrily, "What is the identity of brother? How can they talk about it?"

Fuquan hurriedly said with relief: "Master Huo, don't worry, the people in this yard are all picked by the young master himself, there are not even any lazy ones, and there will be no dirty hands and feet."

Huo Yu nodded and said, "Naturally. By the way, what did brother ask me to go out for?"

"The eldest young master is accompanying his wife. He said that you haven't thanked your wife for the short knife and warm jade that your wife gave you last time. You just took this opportunity to thank your wife."

Huo Yu couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard this, "Brother really knows how to torture people, I'm afraid Mrs. Guo will have a headache and feel distressed when she sees me now. But that's right, the elder sent two treasures here, so I, as a junior, naturally want to Thank you in person. Let's go, don't make Mrs. Guo wait in a hurry."

When Huo Yu arrived, Liu Pianpian was chatting with Guo Zhan'an about Guo Feng'an's studies with a dry smile. When she heard Huo Yu coming, her face was unnatural for a moment, and then she smiled on the surface again.

"Hello, Mrs. Guo." Huo Yu was born to be good-looking, but he hasn't touched any meat in the past few months, and has lost a lot of weight.Now he is very attractive in plain clothes.

It's a pity that when Liu Pianpian saw Huo Yu, her teeth itch with hatred. She could pick out more than a dozen mistakes just by looking at him like this.

"Hey, isn't this Zhan'an's brother-in-law? Why didn't he keep his filial piety for grandpa and came here to play?"

Huo Yu was taken aback for a moment, and then replied: "I like the treasured sword and warm jade that Mrs. Guo sent last time. It's just that I still wear filial piety on my body, so it's not easy to thank Mrs. Guo. Today I heard that Mrs. Guo Come, I hurriedly changed clothes and came back. Madam Guo, you are still blaming me, right?"

Liu Pianpian took a breath in her heart, squinted her eyes and looked at Huo Yu.

This kid, is he testing me?Tsk, Guo Zhanan's adopted brother is really not a good thing.

"How can it be. That's my fault. At the beginning, I was concerned about it, so I misunderstood you." Liu Pianpian covered her mouth with a veil—she couldn't control the corners of her mouth—and then He said, "It's you, why are you still thinking about this? Could it be that you are still blaming me?"

Huo Yu shook his head again and again: "Of course not, it's just that I think Mrs. Guo is not in a good mood today, so I thought she felt sorry for her baby. Haha, but it's true, Mrs. Guo is so rich, why would she care about such a knife and jade?" ?”

Liu Pianpian was overjoyed, and took the opportunity to say: "Speaking of being rich, isn't this the only one who is rich? My father told me a few days ago that Nuanyuxuan bought a piece of high-quality suet white jade. Originally, he planned to buy it as a gift for An'er. Unexpectedly, he asked the young master of our house to buy it. Zhan An, this safety buckle that cost 5 taels of real gold and silver can be taken out. Want me to take a look?"

When Huo Yu heard this, his heart tightened. He was about to raise his hand to block it, but then he remembered that it was winter and he had worn enough clothes. The safety buckle was worn close to his body, so Liu Pianpian couldn't see it.So, instead, he rolled his hands into a tube shape, put them to his mouth and coughed lightly twice.

Fortunately, Liu Pianpian's mind is now on the safe buckle of the sheep fat jade, and she didn't notice that something was wrong with Huo Yu.Guo Zhan'an didn't look at him either, just smiled lightly and said, "It's just a safety buckle, how can it compare to those treasures in Gongzhong?"

"You can't say that. Ping'an buckle is very common, but it's not every day that you can see Ping'an buckle carved from mutton fat jade with 5 taels of silver. I just happened to come here today, so why don't you show it to me?" ?”

Liu Pianpian said this because firstly, she really wanted to see the mutton fat jade worth 5 taels, and secondly, she wanted to take the opportunity to send Guo Zhanan away——as soon as she entered the yard, Guo Zhanan asked the people she brought to put it in the house first. After searching inside and out, after confirming that there was no Fengchai, he invited her in.After that, Guo Zhan'an stayed with her all the time, and asked Jia Huan and others to lead the group of people she brought out to find Fengchai.

The phoenix hairpin was hidden in the dark pocket of her sleeve, but with Guo Zhanan around, and several servant girls beside her, with so many eyes on her, she didn't dare to throw the phoenix hairpin anywhere at will. The frame-up was stolen by the people in Guo Zhanan's yard, it would be better to just pour dirty water on Guo Zhanan!

Now that Huo Yu came, Liu Pianpian came up with another idea—to send Guo Zhanan away and keep Huo Yu here.This kid is younger, so he is definitely easier to deal with than Guo Zhan'an.This is her house again, as the saying goes, a strong dragon can't overwhelm a local snake, let alone a little kid with an unknown background?

Guo Zhan'an nodded and said: "Since my wife wants to see it, Yu'er, go to my house and get that security button for me." After speaking, Guo Zhan'an took out a key and handed it to Huo Yu.

"Hey, hey, wait." Liu Pianpian quickly called Huo Yu to stop, and taught Guo Zhan'an a lesson, "Zhan'an, this security buckle is so valuable, since you have locked it, how can you let outsiders pick it up?"

Guo Zhan'an ignored her, and said to Huo Yu first: "Go and come back quickly, don't break it carelessly."

After Huo Yu came out of the house, he said to Liu Pianpian seriously: "Don't worry, ma'am, Huo Yu is my brother-in-law. He has saved my life twice, and my things belong to him. This security buckle is nothing more than a possession. If he wants it, I will naturally not be reluctant."

When Liu Pianpian heard this, she couldn't help but feel pain-this is 5 taels of silver!The white money seemed to flow through her eyes like water, flowing from her private house into the pocket of the boss of Nuan Yuxuan.She probably forgot that even if Guo Zhanan didn't spend the money, it wouldn't be her turn to Liu Pianpian.

Huo Yu had already gone out now, because Jia Huan had spoken and the people in Guo Zhanan's yard were capable, so even if the people brought by Liu Pianpian were rummaging in every corner of the yard, there was no chaos in the whole yard.

He walked into his Guo Zhanan's room, as if he had thought of something, he called the maid who was watching the room: "Go, clean up the room next door, and move all my bedding and so on. There is also a room in this room. My big box of books and the few pieces of clothes I changed were also moved there. Remember, put a few books on the desk, and the copybooks I copied before, all on the desk in the next room. "

The maid didn't understand, so she said, "Master Huo, what's the matter?"

Huo Yu didn't have time to explain to him: "Just do what I tell you. Call two people over to help you. Don't make too much noise. Don't let other people know."

Although the servant girl didn't understand why Huo Yu made such a fuss about "moving", since the master had spoken, of course she, a servant girl, didn't want to ask too many questions, and just followed Huo Yu's advice.

Besides, Huo Yu, after he entered the house, he took off his thick coat, and then unfastened the safety buckle around his neck.Afterwards, Huo Yu opened the window, grabbed a handful of snow from the branches outside, mixed a safety buckle carved from mutton fat jade into the ice and snow, rubbed it a few times, then found the box where the safety buckle was placed earlier, and put it on After putting the buckle away safely, he took the box and went back to find Guo Zhanan and Liu Pianpian.

Liu Pianpian looked at the Ping An button lying in the box, her eyes were straightened, her buttocks couldn't help but slightly lifted up, and then she probably had some awareness, and she sat dignifiedly again, and said: "It's so far away, how can this be done?" Can you see clearly? Come on, take it in and let me have a look."

Of course Huo Yu didn't want Liu Pianpian to touch the safety buckle, so he said dryly, "This thing is too precious, as long as Mrs. Guo has seen it, I put it away, so as not to accidentally drop it someday."

"How do you say it? My son bought it. Let me see what's wrong? If I want it, can he give it to me?"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Pianpian regretted a little. Although she loves money, she still wants to show face. These words made herself look like a robber. complexion.

Huo Yu took the opportunity to close the box, and said, "Brother is just a small prisoner, how much salary does he have throughout the year? To my wife, this 5 taels is just a small amount of money swept from the cracks in the ground, but to my brother It is indeed a huge sum of money. I think the second young master of the Guo family is very promising. After the new year, he will go to Qingshan Academy to study. Mrs. Guo can wait for the second young master of the Guo family to make a fortune. Don’t say a piece of safety will be deducted by then, even if The whole jade mine can be bought for Mrs. Guo."

As the saying goes, those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black. Huo Yu has been with Guo Zhanan, a god-man, for the past two years. But there are.It's just that he doesn't like to conflict with others by nature, so he always looks easy to talk to on weekdays.That is to say, when encountering Liu Pianpian, who is so greedy for everything, Huo Yu will expose this side.

In the end, he was still not worth it for Guo Zhan'an, venting his anger for him.

Speaking of this, Liu Pianpian didn't have the face to continue making fun of her.She reluctantly looked at the box in Huo Yu's hand, pinched the phoenix hairpin in her sleeve, and became more determined to pour the dirty water on Huo Yu.

At this time, Qiu Ju came in with someone.After saluting the masters in the house, Qiu Ju said, "Ma'am, I have searched all over the yard, but I didn't find Fengchai."

"Oh? Have you searched all of them?" Liu Pianpian asked her, "Is there anything missing?"

Qiu Ju thought for a while and replied: "The pond in the yard is frozen in winter, so it's not easy to go down and search. I don't know if my wife will ask someone to break the ice and drain the water?"

"No need," Liu Pianpian said, "this phoenix hairpin is valuable, someone wants to steal it, it is impossible to throw the phoenix hairpin into the pond. Besides the pond, is there any other place that hasn't been searched? "

Qiu Ju showed a look of embarrassment: "Only the houses of Eldest Young Master and Young Master Huo Yu are left."
