Chapter 234 – Green Gemstone
Whether it was the string of beads or the green gemstone, they were both rare and top quality.
Especially this strange emerald, crystal bright, light color, different from the common emerald, jade, emerald, extremely beautiful, travel hard to break into the north of the old Duke Meng is also the first time to see.
His right hand index finger holding the small emerald appreciated for a long time, before satisfied with the string of beads on the wrist, rare with the Duke of Cheng showed a little smile.
Cheng Guogong already can’t remember how long old man has not given himself a smile, at this time to see old man smiling at himself, excited nose sour.
The old man did not tolerate to see him that silly, anxious to hurry to send these people down to see what the string of beads have something fishy.
He first let Cheng Guo Gong and the second master talk about the situation in the dynasty, and then let the two grandchildren say their own views, and he added to teach some more.
The oldest son was incompetent and the youngest son was mediocre, the old master did not want his grandchildren to continue to be held back, guiding and educating them in such a situation.
Half an hour later, the old master said, “Resignation Mo hasn’t come back yet, maybe he’s mixed up in something. I’m tired, you guys go back.”
The crowd got up to take their leave.
Duke Cheng happily returned to the main courtyard.
Fu saw the Duke’s face full of joy, secretly saying that everything went well.
She suppressed her joy, dismissed her subordinates, and personally offered tea to Duke Cheng, “Did you like it?”
Very apprehensive look.
Duke Cheng put down the tea bowl, pulled Fu on his lap and sat down, laughed and said, “My father smiled at me, you say like it or not? Alas, I am incompetent as a son, it’s rare to make my old father happy once, or rely on Jia Bao’er.”
Fu revealed a smiling face, her arm wrapped around Duke Cheng’s neck and laughed, “I’ve been nervous, afraid of being unhelpful.” In her eyes, grief welled up again, “Your father’s dislike of your lordship is because of me, I feel so sad in my heart that I always want to do something for your lordship, so that your father-in-law will stop complaining about you.”
Duke Cheng shook his head, “My father was instigated by Meng Zhimo, I don’t blame you. That little son of a bitch, that big of a man who can’t distinguish between good and bad, always thinks that his mother’s death has something to do with you, and thinks that you’re making every effort to harm him and Yue’er. Really bewildered.”
Also said, “your elder brother asked you to dedicate that emerald to Zhao Guifei, but you honored my father, uncle angry how to do. I’ll look for two good things in the private coffers to send to him.”
Fu shook her head and said, “Master has done a lot for my mother’s family, so what if I cut off one thing. Just this thing can not be told, my big brother only as a dumb loss, Zhennan Marquis and Zhao Guifei know can hate me.”
The tone of voice pouting, and let the Duke of Cheng Guozhuang tenderness suddenly born.
It is said that Qu’s colorful, beautiful. But there is no connotation of beauty, how to compare to the interesting and heartwarming soul ……
The sky is bright with stars, without a trace of floating clouds. The night breeze of early summer carries the fragrance of flowers and blows the leaves of the trees rustling.
In addition to the rustling, there was only a string of fast-frequency footsteps in the large front yard.
At this time it was already the hour of the night, Meng Ruimo just came back, went directly to the outer study.
The upper room of the outer study was lit up like daytime.
Meng Xiang, who was guarding the door, bowed to Meng Ruimo.
Of the people who came here, only Meng Jimo didn’t need to be informed.
He directly entered the upper room.
Seeing Meng Zhong holding a string of beads and repeatedly looking at and smelling it, he also smoked it repeatedly on the smoke that could attract the parasites. Senior Timur looked at the beads in his hands, and Timur looked at him with a serious face.
Meng Zhimo didn’t disturb them, and only bowed to the old master.
Only after a long time did Meng Zhong raise his head and say, ”Old Master, in my humble opinion, these beads are indeed made from purple oil pears, they have not been soaked in medicinal water, the taste is pure, and the color is normal. There is this small gem, although small stupid, do not know where the origin, the specific name, but discerned that has not been soaked in medicinal water. The string of beads is also nothing special ……”
Old Guo Gong Dao, “You mean that everything is normal with this string of rosary beads?”
Meng Zhong Dao, “In my opinion, there is no poison and no parasites, so it shouldn’t harm anyone.”
Old Guo Gong took the string of beads, could it be that he was overthinking again?
Meng Zhimo said, “I first went to the Zheng Mansion to see Boss Zheng and Commander Zheng.” He also pointed to the string of beads and said, “It looks like it’s top quality, who sent it?”
The old Duke handed him the string of beads, “Meng Daoming paid his respects, saying it was sent to him by Chief Hao of Qiongtai ……”
Meng Zhimo took the string of beads and repeated shielding it a few times, but didn’t see anything unusual. Still, he said, “Although the surface doesn’t appear to be faulty, but it’s better to be careful when sending it to grandfather at this time, grandfather don’t use it.”
The old man shook his head and said, “If you don’t use such a good thing, won’t it make people with good intentions more concerned?”
The grandparents and grandson talked until it was midnight, before Meng Zhimo got up to take his leave.
He climbed over the wall into the inner courtyard and headed towards the Floating Life Residence.
The closer he got to the Floating Life Residence, the stronger the scent of flowers became. The starlight enveloped the Jin Garden in a layer of clear light, making the flowers appear even more beautiful and colorful, competing for attention.
Thinking of his wife and son again, his heart was incomparably soft. Such a beautiful and peaceful home can no longer be wantonly destroyed by bad people.
His steps accelerated by two minutes, not walking, but running.
He lightly knocked on the courtyard door a few times, and the little girl who watched the door immediately came and opened the door. As long as it was the day before the day off from bathing, the maid on watch would wait until the latter part of the night to go to bed.
Lin Xiang, who was on night duty, was also awake and heard the commotion and got up to open the door to the main room.
Afraid of affecting Jiang Yixi’s rest, Meng Zhimo always went to the backyard to wash up when he came back at this time.
After he washed up and came to the side room, Lin Xiang gently dried his hair before he entered the bedroom.
The crockery lamp in the corner was still on, this was the lamp Jiang Yishi had left for him.
He lifted the mauve colored gauze net embroidered with entwined chrysanthemum flowers, but saw Jiang Yishi looking at him and smiling.
“It’s so late, you haven’t rested yet?”
“Knowing that you’re coming back today, I couldn’t sleep.”
Jiang Yishi sat up.
Meng Zhimo knew that she had been hung up on Fu’s affairs, so he leaned over the bed and talked about the bead string that Duke Cheng had sent to the old man.
Jiang Yishi’s previous trace of doubt cleared up at once.
In his previous life, when the old Duke’s shoulder was injured, he pressed down on it with one hand, and blood gushed out and stained the clothes on his shoulder, as well as his big hand and the string of beads on his wrist.
But she hadn’t seen the old master wearing a string of beads since she had been reborn for so long.
Jiang Yishi asked, “What does the string look like?”
Meng Zhimo said, “The beads are made of purple oil pear, very good, a rare top quality. Especially that little emerald, even my grandfather couldn’t name it. Meng Zhong studied it for half a day and said there was no problem. The only thing to do was to wait and see if there was anyone who knew what they were doing. Or maybe we’re just being overly concerned, this thing Fu hasn’t tampered with.”
An emerald?
Jiang Yishi immediately remembered what Hua Hua had said about the “stone”.
There was definitely something wrong with this string of beads. More precisely, it was the gemstone that was the problem. It made the old man who wore the string of beads gradually deteriorate until he died, and no one else could notice.
That’s how the old man was killed in his previous life.
