Don't let this little guy's young age and adorable, clingy manner fool you. After long-term observation, it's clear that his manual dexterity and thinking abilities far exceed what makes him look like a two or three-year-old!
The toy that was just disassembled wasn't actually broken in any part, which speaks volumes, doesn't it?
Ye Wanying has plenty of confidence in her son.
The little dumpling had already examined the toy inside and out several times, and had found one of the three spots, leaving only the last two.
If we find it, it's just a matter of time.
As for not being able to find it, that's naturally impossible.
After watching for a while, Ye Wanying caught a glimpse of Aunt Liao out of the corner of her eye and quietly followed her:
"Aunt Liao."
"Young Madam?" Aunt Liao was holding a rag, preparing to wipe the stair railing. Every day, Aunt Liao's job was to take care of the old man's daily life. When she had time, she would help clean the old house. Of course, it wasn't just Aunt Liao who did it.
The two were standing at least five or six meters away from the sofa in the hall, their palms outstretched.
"Aunt Liao, have you seen this before?" she asked.
At this moment, the crescent-shaped copper coin was lying in Ye Wanying's hand.
Aunt Liao has been a long-time servant in the Gu family for decades, so if this item belongs to the Gu family, she is very likely to recognize it.
“Young mistress, this is a crescent-shaped copper coin that was very popular several decades ago. Families with young children would usually have one.”
Therefore, this thing is not rare or precious; on the contrary, it is just a common item!
Aunt Liao pondered for a moment, then suddenly seemed to remember something and spoke:
"Young mistress, this one seems a little different."
Ye Wanying frowned slightly. What does "different" mean?
Could it be that this thing really has something special about it?
Aunt Liao quickly explained, carefully examining the crescent-shaped copper coin in Ye Wanying's hand, wiping away the thick layer of dust on it, and finally saying:
“As far as I know, ordinary families generally don’t get patterns tattooed on their coins. Getting patterns tattooed isn’t cheap, and the patterns on this crescent-shaped copper coin that the young mistress has are too complicated. I’ve never seen anything like it before.” As she spoke, Aunt Liao shook her head.
Does a more complex pattern necessarily mean that the owner is someone of high status?
After all, ordinary families wouldn't be willing to waste money on simple tattoos, let alone the more complex one in their hand.
Aunt Liao nodded:
"Probably." But I'm not 100% sure.
"Would the four great families of the capital have something like this?" Ye Wanying's already furrowed brows deepened even further.
Upon hearing this, Aunt Liao shook her head repeatedly:
"Impossible!" he said with absolute certainty.
Even the least powerful of the four great families in the capital are all either extremely wealthy or hold high positions of power.
These half-monthly copper coins were absolutely worthless trinket in the eyes of the four major families, and the elders would never give such a worthless item to the younger generation.
Let alone the four major families in the capital, even third- or fourth-tier families in the industry would never be able to do it!
After Aunt Liao's explanation, I gained a general understanding of this crescent-shaped copper coin, but I was even more puzzled:
Since this thing is so ordinary, how did it end up in the Gu family's home?
Even in the room of the eldest grandson of the Gu family?
Surely it couldn't have fallen in while the housekeeper was cleaning?
