Zhang Guang failed to get the secret recipe successfully and was very unwilling.

That night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and the north wind was howling.

In an era when there were no entertainment activities, everyone in the village went to bed early.

Jin Gua led Zhang Guang and the two stupid thieves sneaked into the backyard and rubbed against the wall towards the embroidered building.

Without masking equipment, the two used scarves as cover and wrapped their heads into rice dumplings, leaving only a slit for their eyes to see the road.

The problem is, both of them are wearing the same clothes as they were during the day, so what’s the use of covering up like this?

The backyard of the big house of the Jin family is the embroidered building where the female family members live.

Usually the girls who have not left the palace are on the second floor, such as Kumquat.

The last time I was locked up on the second floor by my grandfather was to teach the girl to respect herself.

The first floor is where my parents live, so they can keep an eye on their daughter.

This has been the case for big families since ancient times. If a daughter behaves badly, it will affect the reputation of the entire family, and other big families may choose not to get married.

As the saying goes, if the family tradition is not strict, the discipline will be ineffective.

The second floor of Jin's house not only houses the female family members, but also houses a library.

There is a room on the left side of the second floor, which contains various secret recipes, treasures, ancient books, antique calligraphy and paintings passed down by the Jin family.

The rules of the Jin family are that inheritance is passed down from male to female, and girls have strictly abided by this rule since ancient times.

Therefore, the library dared to choose to be next to the boudoir.

However, Kumquat is an anomaly, not only watching, but also learning from various secrets.

Tonight, the target of these two stupid thieves is naturally this library.

"Brother Zhang, why do I feel that the method you mentioned is a bit unreliable?"

Faced with Jin Gua's whispered doubts, Zhang Guang whispered impatiently:

"If I ask you to take it, just go and get it. Where's all the nonsense?"

"We've come this far, you won't regret it, right?"

"What, the secret recipe is no longer for sale? The gambling debts are not repaid? Or are you going to drink the northwest wind when you have no money in the future?"

Jingua instantly became frightened and muttered:

"No, no, I just think it's weird to steal things from your own home."

After saying that, he picked his fingers sadly.

Zhang Guang kept encouraging:

"Your grandfather is so partial. He didn't even give you the film of the girl who passed down the ancestral secrets to Jin Ju. Doesn't this explain the problem?"

"Pumpkin, pumpkin, wake up!"

"Kumquat's business is booming, are you?"

"Do you think that based on the current situation, your grandfather will still let you inherit the Jin family?"

"Then since it will all be Kumquat's property from now on, you might as well get it out and sell it now, and you will still have money after all!"

"Let me tell you, Mr. Han has no patience anymore. If he continues to delay, he will collect other people's secret recipes!"

Jingua moved her lips and wanted to say:

[Kumquat was learned secretly. It was passed down to me by my grandfather, but I just can’t learn it~]

Of course, he has a good reputation, so of course he is embarrassed to say such things.

The information gap here between Zhang Guang and Jin Gua was also conveyed by Jin Gua himself, confusing right and wrong.

…

In the north wind howling, the two stupid thieves crept up the narrow stairs on the right side of the embroidery building.

Jin Jue was locked in the Xiu Building before, but Jin Gua broke the lock on the second floor and replaced it.

Therefore, he kept the key in his hand.

Taking Zhang Guang with him, he quietly opened the big black lock and went up.

In the biting north wind, the two of them moved little by little toward the library on the left side of the embroidery building.

When they finally reached the door, their legs were numb and they squatted on the ground slowly.

Jingua stopped the person and said:

"You wait at the door!"

Zhang Guang's idea of ​​going in and looting the secret recipe was abruptly cut off.

Of course he also knows Jingua’s Xiao Jiujiu——

The secret recipe was packaged and sold to him at once. What would this idiot second generation ancestor do to sell it for money in the future?

Therefore, in order to temporarily appease Jin Gua, he agreed:

"I'm watching out for the wind, please hurry up."

Jin Gua warned again worriedly:

"We agreed, but we can't come in!"

"Okay, okay, I got it, let's move around~"

Jin Gua Tou Mo opened the door of the library, pushed open a narrow gap, and ducked in.

That neat look doesn't look like it's the first time.

Zhang Guang looked at his back and realized!

Co-author, this guy is a thief!

Then why bother with me for so long?

Oh~ I probably want to raise the price on the ground again!

Zhang Guang squatted under the stone fence on the second floor, silently thinking about something in his mind, looking down through the diamond-shaped holes to watch the wind.

In less than a minute, Pumpkin came out and quickly locked the door.

"Are you so fast?" Zhang Guang was shocked. He was indeed a thief.

"Let's go!" Jin Gua thought to himself, I've been here countless times, how can I not be familiar with it?

The two of them hunched over and continued back the way they came.

When passing by the kumquat room in the middle of the second floor, what they didn't notice was——

Behind the two large carved wooden doors stood a man with white hair and a white beard, holding a cane.

If not Mr. Jin, who else could it be?

Outside, Zhang Guang asked: "What is this scroll you have under your arm?"

"Calligraphy and painting."

Zhang Guang immediately understood: "Son, you just come here to take things and sell them when you have no money. You are a habitual offender!"

"Cut the nonsense!"

The two of them rustled downstairs.

Mr. Jin in the room sighed deeply and helplessly.

He is an old man from a very traditional big family, and the idea of ​​favoring boys over girls is deeply ingrained.

He devoted so much effort to the pumpkin, the only seedling in the family.

But as the old saying goes, it's better to dye flowers than to add color.

Pumpkin is such a waste, alas!

Not only is his talent lacking, his character is also questionable.

If Si Chen hadn't told the old man during the day to try to catch the thief at night, he wouldn't have seen this scene.

At that time, Si Chen advised him this way:

"Young Master Ling has a simple mind, and at first glance he has been bewitched by a villain like Zhang Guang."

"Zhang Guang can't get the secret recipe during the day, so he might be desperate at night."

"It's not impossible to encourage the young master to do something unbelievable."

"Please be more careful tonight."

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a prophecy.

Mr. Jin also knew in his heart that his grandson was not a good person.

But he still didn't want to think in the direction of a family thief, but he couldn't help but not believe in Jin Gua's character.
