"When an iron rod lights a stove, it is difficult to distinguish between metal, wood, water, fire and earth." Xu Zhen repeated, "It doesn't feel very complicated!"
Wen Wenxin smiled and shook his head: "Cousin, please don't underestimate this pairing. The iron rod lights the stove. It only uses four words to cover all the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire and earth. It not only rhymes with meaning, but also the word 'stove' Composed of fire and earth, it is indeed an absolute!”
"Hey," Gao He agreed naively, "If you use an iron stick to light the stove, how can you possibly light it? This is called not distinguishing between metal, wood, water, fire and earth!"
Seeing Xu Zhen's unresponsiveness, Qi Wenxin thought that it was impossible for him to match up, so he smiled faintly and said in Xu Zhen's ear: "Okay, cousin, it's just a joke. I agree to your business."
"Oh? My second cousin is the best to me!" Xu Zhen was moved at first, and then thought about it, "But... metal, wood, water, fire and earth, wouldn't it be enough to treat a combination of five words?"
"My husband thinks so too," Gao He continued, "Like grains, five internal organs, five colors and five flavors, he has tried them all, but they still don't match!"
"Really?" Xu Zhen rolled his eyes, snapped his fingers and said, "I do have a second line, I wonder if it matches?"
"Haha..." He Wenxin pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "Okay, cousin, they all say it's a joke, don't take it seriously."
Whether it is Wen Wenxin or Gao He, it is naturally impossible to think that a crude person like Xu Zhen can match the couplet, and it is absolutely difficult to do so.
"Then I'll use my five senses to check it out!" Unexpectedly, Xu Zhen thought about it and came up with a second line, "I'll give it to you: 'The shield and the tweezers are so sharp that you can't tell the difference between eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and tongue.'"
"Oh?" He Wenxin didn't expect Xu Zhen to be able to confront him. After feeling it for a while, he asked, "Which one? Which one?"
“哓 means cutting the nose,” Xu Zhen explained, “咶咶咶 means tongue or licking the tongue.
"Shield tweezers are just using non-sharp tweezers to cut someone's tongue. They don't care about eyes, ears, nose, mouth and tongue at all!"
"Oops! Oops..." He Wen's heart suddenly trembled, and then his eyes lit up. He repeated and analyzed at the same time, and finally praised from the bottom of his heart, "Wonderful, wonderful, it's really wonderful! Why didn't I figure it out?"
Xu Zhen said in his heart. In fact, I didn't expect that a certain time-travel novel I had read before would come in handy today.
There happened to be such an exact couplet in that novel. Fortunately, my memory was good enough.
Why?
Xu Zhen thought that although he was a police detective in his previous life, he had a good grasp of poetry and poetry. If he was no longer a police officer in the future, would he be able to make a living by copying poetry?
For example, the phrase "the secret fragrance floats on the moon at dusk" can make beauties rush to play poker with me? How many decks of playing cards do you need to prepare?
What if there is another sentence: "When you are drunk, you don't know what the sky is like"? I don’t know if there is a princess in this Daxuan Dynasty?
Xu Zhen was thinking wildly, but she didn't know the details of Xu Zhen. After she realized this wonderful couplet, she looked at Xu Zhen as if she were looking at a monster.
impossible?
He Wenxin couldn't figure it out, how could his illiterate cousin meet with such an absolute person?
Just talking about those rare words, even many students who have read poetry and books may not recognize them, right?
"How's it going, second cousin..." Xu Zhen said proudly, "Don't admire me too much, I'll be proud! If you encounter any poems, songs, or pairs in the future, just ask me for advice!
"We are so strong, I promise to give you everything I have, without reservation!"
"Oh...oh...ok...ok..." He Wen gradually became confused. He had never seen such a shameless cousin.
"How about it," Xu Zhen said again, "Now, what we have agreed upon is settled!"
"Oh...Okay, okay..." Qi Wenxin nodded blankly...
…
In the end, Xu Zhen sent his second cousin to the door of his house before leaving.
His uncle Qin Lin was working in a county prison dozens of miles away. With only his aunt at home, it was naturally inconvenient for Xu Zhen to go in and visit.
My aunt is an ordinary person, so she naturally thinks that Xu Zhen, the nephew who has inherited a huge debt, is the biggest burden on their family.
Therefore, after meeting, there is always only one topic, which is to ask Xu Zhen to sell his ancestral home as soon as possible, and in addition to paying off the gambling debt, give the remaining subsidies to their family in return...
After seeing his cousin off, Xu Zhen returned to the Yamen to resume his duties.
Unexpectedly, neither the leader, Cheng Xiao, nor Shen Yu and Fu Bin, who were on his team, came back.
I guess they are all still busy with their own things, right?
Xu Zhen felt uncertain again. He didn't know what Huniu Shen Yu would do under his deception.
But...it seems that if Shen Yu really gets into trouble, it won't be a bad thing...
Since the arrester had not yet arrived, the agents disbanded on their own.
Xu Zhen used the little money she had to buy some fresh fruits for her daughter-in-law Youmeng.
He originally wanted to buy a piece of cloth for Youmeng to make clothes, but it was too expensive and he couldn't afford it. It seems that we can only wait until the current case is solved before thinking about how to improve living conditions!
After returning home, everything was as usual, eating and chatting with the gentle and virtuous little daughter-in-law, and occasionally having a little talk, which made the little daughter-in-law's face always blush.
But after dinner, Xu Zhen took a hoe and went to the backyard ancestral hall to get busy.
The ancestral hall is located at the innermost side of the house. Due to lack of money for repairs, the roof leaks and the windows leak. Usually, Xu Zhen and his wife would come here only on special days.
What surprised Xu Zhen was that there were only two tablets on the altar table in the ancestral hall, one for Xu Zhen's father and one for Xu Zhen's mother. There were no other ancestors of the Xu family, not even his grandparents.
it's wired.
Xu Zhen wondered, what's going on, there is an ancestral home but no ancestors?
Could it be...
Is this an illegitimate house?
Xu Zhen couldn't help but wonder, did his so-called ancestor who was a high official marry a mistress here, so the ancestral hall could not worship him?
Tsk tsk...
Searching the memory, I didn't find any clues. It seems that Xu Zhen's parents are quite shy about the origin of their ancestors and have never mentioned it to Xu Zhen. They don't even know who their grandparents are.
Well, it doesn't matter.
Xu Zhen was helpless. Regardless of whether it was an illegitimate house or not, such a distant matter had nothing to do with him.
As the saying goes, live in the present, let’s live the present well!
So, Xu Zhen first found a location, then pried open the floor tiles of the ancestral house, and then started digging...
After digging until late at night, a pit more than two meters deep was dug.
Unexpectedly, the little daughter-in-law had a dream and couldn't find Xu Zhen for a long time, so she found this place after looking for the sound.
After seeing the deep pit dug by Xu Zhen, Youmeng was greatly puzzled: "Master, what are you doing?"
"Oh, it's okay, it's okay," Xu Zhen explained with a smile, "Didn't we already decide to sell the house? I'm afraid there is some hidden treasure in the house, so I'll dig around and take a look, haha..."
