"Well, when the results come out, you must hold on. I can tell there is something wrong with this golden Buddha just by looking at it!"
The man was stunned. He didn't expect Ye Xinran to be so confident. No matter how good his psychological quality was, he couldn't help but panic. But he quickly calmed down and sneered.
"You are a thief, and you are just a little girl, but you can talk nonsense." After saying this, he looked at the old lady.
"Madam, do you really believe her words? She is just afraid that you will punish her, so she is talking nonsense here! Don't believe her!" The man said with an unhappy face, "Madam, you have bought so many things from me, and I, Chen Liang, have always treated you sincerely!"
The old lady frowned and was a little hesitant, wondering if she really had misunderstood him.
Ye Xinran snorted coldly, straightened her back, looked down at the man and said, "I am the Princess of Wucheng. I followed the order of my master to come to the Yan Mansion to look for Madam Yu. I just went to the wrong place and entered here by mistake!"
When everyone heard her words, they couldn't believe it for a moment. Dao also felt that not everyone would dare to say such words, so it must be true.
"Oh? The third brother asked you to find me?" The old lady raised her eyebrows in surprise, "What do you want to find me for?" After that, she looked Ye Xinran up and down, no longer hostile, but with a little more curiosity. She also knew that the third brother was exiled, and planned to visit him in the next two days. She also knew that he married a princess named Ye Xinran, but she didn't expect it to be the little girl in front of her.
Ye Xinran blinked her eyes, thinking that this person was the housekeeper or something, but she didn't expect it to be Madam Yu. "Mr. Yan's wife!" She quickly bowed.
"The prince heard that you were here. As a junior, I wanted to come and pay my respects to you. But we are now exiled, and the city has not been peaceful in the past two days. He is helping the city guard to deal with the city affairs and cannot get away for the time being, so he asked me to come and pay my respects first. He will come and pay his respects to you later."
Madam Yu nodded, her expression relaxed a lot, and she looked at Ye Xinran with a little more kindness, thinking that she had come to her without alarming anyone and being trapped by the formation, it must be Gu Yanming who told her. Thinking that she had knocked her off the roof, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
"I didn't hurt you just now, did I?" But she knew her methods and showed no mercy at all!
Ye Xinran smiled and bowed. "Junior is fine!"
I thought, I almost broke some bones. My calf must be bruised.
Ye Xinran suddenly looked at Boss Chen next to her and said with a smile, "Then let's start testing to see if this golden Buddha is made of pure gold!"
Chen Liang couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
"Boss Chen, I'm usually easy to talk to, but if someone cheats me..." Old Madam Yu narrowed her eyes and put force on her feet. The bluestone ground instantly cracked and turned into a spider web. It can be seen that her internal strength is terrifyingly deep.
Wu Neng, the housekeeper, came over at this time and saw the broken bluestone floor. He sighed in his heart. The day after the old lady came back, she broke three pieces of bluestone! And they were all in the same place! He had to order people to patch the floor again! Oh, if it breaks again, there will be no more in stock!
Ye Xinran couldn't help but tremble when she saw it. It was amazing, she wished she could have such skills someday.
Chen Liang was in a dilemma, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "Madam, even if I have a hundred guts, I wouldn't dare to lie to you!"
Ye Xinran saw that he was still holding on at this time, and he was indeed stubborn. If it were her, she would have confessed long ago!
"Xinran! Then you can give it a try! See if there is anything wrong with this golden Buddha!" said Old Madam Yu. She really wanted to find out, after all, she couldn't lie in front of the Buddha.
Ye Xinran didn't expect that the old lady actually knew her. So she became more sincere. She didn't waste any more time and started preparing for the work.
"Madam, have someone prepare nine catties, nine ounces, and nine ounces of pure gold, nine catties, nine ounces of pure silver, and two buckets of the same size!"
Old Madam Yu looked at Wu Neng, who nodded and quickly went downstairs to prepare.
Ye Xinran also briefly talked to the old lady.
"Madam, do you know which is bigger, pure gold or pure silver of the same weight?"
Madam Yu shook her head. She really didn’t know.
A servant knew about this and stepped forward and whispered, "Pure silver is bigger!"
Ye Xinran nodded and smiled, "Indeed, pure silver is bigger!"
At this time, Wu Neng asked someone to bring over 9 jin 9 liang 9 qian of pure gold and silver. The silver was indeed bigger. The bucket was also quickly prepared.
Ye Xinran didn't do anything, just explained the principle.
"It's actually very simple. Just fill two identical buckets with water, put 9 jin 9 liang 9 qian of pure gold in one bucket, and put the golden Buddha in the other bucket. Then see if the water overflowing from the two buckets is the same. If the water overflowing from the golden Buddha is more than the pure gold, then silver is mixed in! If less, then something else is mixed in! Only when it is just right, it is pure gold!"
After Ye Xinran finished speaking, she looked at Boss Chen with a smile and said, "Of course, this is the simplest and fastest method. I have several other methods that can be further verified!"
Madam Yu didn't expect it to be so simple. Her eyes lit up and she said to Wu Neng beside her, "Try it now!"
Wu Neng also thought it was good. The golden Buddha was exquisitely made, with hollow patterns. There was really no way to do it before, but this method was good.
Wu Neng ordered several servants to prepare to work together. But before they started, Boss Chen rushed forward and picked up Jin Fodao.
"Madam Yu, I'm sorry, I just took a closer look and it seems that this golden Buddha is not the one you ordered," Boss Chen's face was covered with cold sweat, and he didn't even have time to wipe it off and walked straight to the door.
"My eyes must be blurry because I'm old and I must have taken the wrong one! I'll get you the one you want right now!" After saying that, he greased his feet and walked straight out of the yard!
Madam Yu narrowed her eyes, as if she didn't understand something. She winked at Wu Neng, who nodded and quickly chased after him.
Ye Xinran had no idea what happened next.
She was quietly looking around the yard, looking for the pot of black chrysanthemum that Mr. Yan asked her to steal... no, it was a pot of black chrysanthemum that Mr. Yan asked her to take.
After looking around, she finally saw a pot of wilted black chrysanthemums on the stone platform in front of the house. She thought about approaching it quietly, putting it directly into the space, and then chatting with the old lady for a while before leaving.
But before she could move, she heard the old lady say.
"Xinran! I'm sorry to have embarrassed you! I was originally thinking of making a golden Buddha and placing it in a temple for worship, hoping that the Buddha would be grateful for my honesty! Now this has happened, ah!"
