After crossing the mother's handbook

Chapter 45
Tonight, there are no stars in the sky, even the moon is hidden in the dark clouds.

"Thump, thump, thump!" Zhou Lan hurriedly slapped on the door, looking around in confusion.The door she knocked on, the room was dark.

She looked up at the moon in the sky that was blocked by black clouds, and the bad premonition in her heart was getting heavier and heavier.

In order to relieve the fear in her heart, she couldn't help but patted the door vigorously again.

"Here we come." After this hard work, a voice finally came from the room, lazily, as if he had just woken up.

"Squeak..." With a sound, the door of the room that had been knocked for a long time was opened, and an old man with a gray beard came out of the room. With his old eyes half asleep, he glanced at the woman outside the door, his tone slightly Impatiently said, "Why is it you again?"

"Damn ghost, it's so slow to open the door. What's wrong with me, do you still want to do your business?" Zhou Lan was quite angry, feeling her heart beating faster and faster, she stepped into the elderly room middle.

The old man was pushed straight into the door by her. If there was no door blocking it, the old man would probably be handsome on the ground.He slowed down, looked at the quiet street outside the door again, and closed the door with his hand.

If this woman hadn't brought a lot of rare treasures with her every time she came, he wouldn't have received them in the middle of the night.

"What did you bring this time?" the old man in the room asked, yawning, with a deep tiredness on his face.
Seeing that the place was safe, Zhou Lan swiftly untied the bag on the bed, and dumped all the contents on the table.

The old man stared straight at the things on the table.At this moment, what he saw in his eyes was no longer the original appearance of the treasures, they had all automatically changed into the shape of gold.

When Zhou Lan saw the old man's gaze, the disdain and complacency in his eyes became more and more obvious.When the old man showed his greedy look without reservation, she stepped forward to block the jewels with her bag, and said in a firm tone, "Tell me, how much you plan to give this time."

The old man only felt that his eyes went dark, and the bright gold was gone, replaced by a piece of black rag.He closed his eyes and tried to suppress the unhappiness in his heart, "How much do you want?"

When Zhou Lan heard this, her face became ruthless, she unceremoniously stretched out five fingers, opened her mouth and said, "500 taels!"

"500 taels?!" The old man's voice was extremely shocking, and his expression was more like he had heard something surprising. He put away the greedy look on his face, pretending to be disgusted, and the old man pulled the treasure on the table. , said indifferently, "Is your thing worth it?"

Zhou Lan's complacent expression remained unchanged, and she continued to reach out, brazenly saying, "500 taels of gold."

"500 taels of gold?!" The old man was in a bad mood now. He spread his hands and said angrily, "Why don't you go grab it." Just now he thought that 500 taels of silver was already very expensive, but he didn't expect it It turned out to be gold.Oh, this old woman really dares to ask for it.

Zhou Lan showed disgust, "These things of mine are all top quality. If there is no urgent matter at home, how could I sell them?"

Hearing this, the old man looked at Zhou Lan suspiciously, then inspected her attire up and down, and said with a cold smile, "You come to disturb me every day and night, these things are not yours, but you stole them, right? "

When Zhou Lan heard about it, she became angry immediately.She spread the black package aside, and swiftly put away the jewelry she brought.

Seeing this, the old man became anxious immediately, "Hey, what are you doing?"

"Huh!" Zhou Lan snorted lightly, and said indifferently, "Don't you think my stuff is dirty, then I'll sell it next door. Their house won't be so troublesome, maybe they can sell a better one Price."

After saying that, she also packed up those jewels.Raising her hands, Zhou Lan put the burden on her back again, and was about to leave immediately.

The old man hastily stopped her and stood at the door not to let her pass.There was a smile on the old man's face, his eyes were on the jewels on Zhou Lan's back, and his tone was slightly negotiable, "Don't be like this, look, how about 300 taels of gold?"

"300 taels? Too little!" Zhou Lan was full of reluctance, and looked at the old man with a look of disgust.Is there such a low price?It's so low.She snorted displeasedly.

"Then, 400 taels is fine." The old man looked at those treasures, and then weighed his own family fortune.Gritting his teeth, he opened his mouth in pain.

The look on Zhou Lan's face was relaxed, the price sounds quite comfortable.Even though her true thoughts in her heart were like this, she still looked reluctant on the surface, "Let's do it like this, I'm serious, if it wasn't for some urgent matters at home, I wouldn't give you a low price!"

As Zhou Lan spoke, she took off the burden on her back and dumped those shiny jewels on the table.She kept her back to the old man, so she didn't see the sly fox-like gaze in the old man's eyes.

Seeing the baby lying on the table, the old man quickly closed his eyes, and looked at the jewels in surprise. Just when he was about to touch them, Zhou Lan slapped his hands away abruptly, and said indifferently, "Hand over Money handed over."

"Cut!" The old man withdrew his gaze and said disdainfully, "What kind of expression, as if I would cheat you." After saying that, he took out a wooden box from the back room and placed it heavily on the table beside Zhou Lan, "Here, take your time." point."

Afterwards, the old man walked up to the pile of jewels, his shrewd eyes were full of greed.As the shopkeeper of the pawnshop, he naturally knew the goods.There are so many treasures, if he misses this time, he is afraid that he will never see them again in his life.

After looking at it, he took out a beautiful box, put all the jewelry in it, locked it, and put it away.Turning his gaze to Zhou Lan again, the old man closed his eyes with a smile, stroking his white beard again and again.

Zhou Lan looked at the box of gold and began to feel troubled. There were so many and heavy, how could she take it back without being discovered?

"Hey, I'm talking about the shopkeeper. I want to discuss something with you. Can you exchange this for a bank note? I'm a weak woman, how can I move back!"

The old man snorted coldly, carried his baby into the back room.After a long time, he wobbled out again, holding two bank notes in his hand.

"Here." The old man cherished his words like gold, and at the same time, he glanced at the amount of gold, and there was not one missing.

Zhou Lan took the banknote and hurriedly folded it and put it away. "Okay, I'm leaving." She took the black package and carried it on her back as a gesture.

The old man personally sent her to the door, and said with greed in his eyes, "Looking forward to our next cooperation." After saying that, he waved his hand at Zhou Lan.

The guilty Zhou Lan didn't bother to reply, and her thin figure disappeared into the night in a hurry.

The old man glanced at the sky, and there was something strange in his eyes.But he didn't think much about it. After standing at the door for a while, he turned around and closed the door and went home.

After the lights in the room were turned off again, a man in black jumped down from the beam. He stood at the door and looked at it for a long time in the faint moonlight, and secretly wrote down the name of the pawnshop.When he heard the watchman passing by, he jumped into the room again and gradually disappeared into the night.

The sun and the moon change, and after waking up, it is a new day.

Under Zhuqing's care, Fu Yunzhi performed the trilogy of getting up early, dressing, washing, and dressing up.

While busy, Cui Nong knocked on the door and came in. She respectfully said to Fu Yunzhi, "Ma'am, Mr. Yu is here to say good morning."

Hearing this, Fu Yunzhi was overjoyed, raised his hand and said, "Call him in quickly."

I don't know what kind of wind is blowing today, but it has brought Mr. Yu here.

As soon as I finished thinking here, I saw Xiahou Huaiyu coming in behind Cui Nong with an obedient expression on his face.

At this time, Zhuqing also dressed up Fu Yunzhi.She stood up, walked towards Xiahou Huaiyu with a smile, "You are here!"

Xiahou Huaiyu nodded, looked up at Fu Yunzhi, knelt on the ground obediently, clasped his palms towards Fu Yunzhi, "greetings to..." The word mother, no matter what he said Did not say it.

Fu Yunzhi was taken aback by the scene at this moment, and she hurriedly helped Xiahou Huaiyu up.Touching his little head, he said, "There is no need to perform such a great gift in the future. If you are afraid of your father's blame, I can hide it for you."

Fu Yunzhi was very considerate of his current mood, so he didn't care too much about what he called him.

"No, my father said that the Xiahou Mansion treats people with courtesy, which cannot be broken." Xiahou Huaiyu turned sideways, cleverly avoiding Fu Yunzhi's clutches.He doesn't like being touched on the head very much. He heard that children who are often touched on the head will become stupid.

"Pfft..." Fu Yunzhi couldn't help covering his mouth and laughing when he heard this. "You, when did you listen to him so much?"

Xiahou Huaiyu's small face froze, and her big round eyes were full of bewilderment.

Seeing this, Fu Yunzhi couldn't help sighing again, her son-in-law had never been very close to her, what happened today.He even took the initiative to come to her to say hello, but it must be said that she may not have seen him for a long time.

"Are you hungry? Let's go to Fanzhai for breakfast?" Fu Yunzhi said gently.

Xiahou Huaiyu shook his head, and said softly, "Father thinks that my child's studies are heavy, so he built a small kitchen for him, so he doesn't have to share breakfast with grandma."

Fu Yunzhi was taken aback, what kind of operation is this?A small child can have a lot of homework.She couldn't help looking over, just in time to see the gloom in Xiahou Huaiyu's eyes.She couldn't help sighing, a deep sense of powerlessness welling up spontaneously.

"If there is nothing else, I... will leave first." Xiahou Huaiyu bowed and waited for instructions in an orderly manner.

Fu Yunzhi was helpless, she waved her hand, "It's okay, you can go to work."

After the words fell, I saw Xiahou Huaiyu running away.Seeing this, Fu Yunzhi couldn't help thinking that he must have been suffering a lot when he came here to say hello just now.

When, she doesn't have to go to the restaurant to eat!Fu Yunzhi daydreamed for a while, then resigned himself to his fate and got up to go.As soon as he went out, he met Mother Qin who had been waiting for a long time.

"Ma'am, there's news from our people that Mrs. Zhou didn't come back all night last night. She came back sneakily at dawn." Mother Qin whispered softly in Fu Yunzhi's ear. road.
