Fengtianfu and Jingjianwei were dispatched at the same time, coupled with the strength of Jin Wuwei and Zhenguo Gongfu, and on the third day, Naneying was captured.

According to Naneiying, that night, he also fought with a man in black, and this person's characteristics were not much different from what Fu Qianjin said.

There was such a master in Kyoto, and he didn't know whether he was an enemy or a friend, Fu Qianjin became more and more worried, and he also told Song Yu about it.

After all, the identity of this person is unknown, and the safety of the prince of Zhenguo is still worried.

Qiu Ci's wound had slowly healed, and this little injury was nothing to her, she had been much stricter than this before.

But Huanxi watched her smear salt water every day, and her tears fell desperately in distress.

At the end of winter, the weather is getting colder and colder, martial law in Kyoto during this time, and Qiu Zhi's health is not good, she has been nesting in the house, and the door is not out of the door.

On the twentieth day of the winter month, the big girl Daylily next to Mei's came to her, saying that Mei's asked her to go to Meixiangyuan.

Qiu Ci took Qinglan with him.

Now it is the end of winter, the plum blossoms of Meixiangyuan are blooming, and when you enter the courtyard, you will see a large area of plum blossoms clustered, proudly independent in the cold wind.

There are many varieties of plum blossoms in Meixiangyuan, the white ones are like snow, the red ones are like fire, the pink ones are like the glow, the bursts of fragrance are rushing to the face, fresh and elegant, the fragrance is pleasant, and the people feel relaxed and happy.

In the morning, there was a light snowfall, and at noon, the sun came out, and the snow hanging on the plum blossoms began to melt slowly, and the snowflakes fell to the ground like crystal pearls.

I couldn't see such a beautiful scenery last year, but this year I'm a feast for my eyes.

When I got to the door, before I entered the door, I heard Mei's laughter.

"Mother is in a good mood today." She smiled and said to Qinglan.

Seeing her enter the door, Mei became more and more happy.

"Ah Yuan is here, hurry in, it's cold outside." She pulled Qiu Ci and sat down on the kang.

Qiu Ji also kicked his shoes and sat cross-legged.

"Your twelfth birthday in a few days." Mei smiled, "I didn't plan to do anything about it. Unexpectedly, the old lady was worried about it, saying that she wanted to invite some people back to have a lively time, and by the way, she also took a look at the plum blossoms of my plum garden. ”

He Changming has no other strengths, and he loves Mei alone.

The Mei Xiang Yuan of the Marquis of Anping is also quite famous in Beijing. In previous years, I invited some four or five products of Jingzhong to come over to enjoy the plums.

As for those second- and third-grade officials, it's not that they don't want to be invited, but they don't move.

It is better to go to the plum grove in the West Mountain than to go to the plum grove of this small Hou Mansion.

And Qiu Ci has been sick for several years as soon as she is sick, and the old lady doesn't let her come out to meet people casually on weekdays. Not to mention a birthday gift or something.

Now that she's fine, she can just use this as a gimmick and let others meet the concubine of the Marquis of Anping.

After all, after the New Year, she will be thirteen.

A thirteen-year-old girl can be engaged.

Qiu Ci didn't know what her birthday was, and looked up at Qinglan.

Qinglan made a gesture, "Winter Moon Twenty-Eight." ”

As she spoke, Mei handed her a piece of paper, "Look at it, there is something missing." ”

This is what she will prepare for her birthday. Mei has unconsciously regarded her as an adult, and has discussed everything with her.

Qiu Ci smiled and stretched out his hand to take it, "Mother arranged it, and I don't understand these things." ”

It's the first time she's on this plane.

But even before, she didn't have a birthday to celebrate.

She never knew when her birthday was.

Mei nodded and smiled, "I think so." ”

She came out with a few more pairs of embroidered shoes, some of which were bright red. peony embroidered on it; There are also azure ones, with a few white lotuses embroidered on them; There are pink ones, and the grass patterns of a leaf are outlined with silk threads.

Mei did a good job of embroidery, and Qiu Zi never bought shoes. The embroidered shoes she wears are all handmade by Mei.

"You've grown, your previous shoes were small, right?" "These shoes are a little bigger than the old ones, so you can see if they fit." ”

That being said, Qiu Ci knew that the shoes she made would definitely fit.

She didn't shirk. Immediately changed into a pair of bright red shoes embroidered with peonies.

"It's so comfortable." She spun around twice and boasted, "Mother's craftsmanship is superb." ”

Mei Shi looked at her with a smile on her face, "If you like it, I'll make a few more pairs in the future." ”

Qiu Ci's birthday banquet is actually just a trivial matter, as for who to invite to the banquet, the old lady and Mei Shi are going to handle it, and she can't worry about it.

Moreover, she has no friends in Beijing, if she has to say that she has, then Yun Jun'er may be counted as one.

She thought about it for a while and sent someone to send a post to Yun Jun'er.

She and Yun Jun'er are just one-sided friends, and inviting her is just a courtesy, as for whether Yun Jun'er will come or not, she doesn't care.

Unexpectedly, Yun Jun'er replied to the post on the second day, and responded very happily, which was a bit unexpected.

On the twenty-seventh day of the winter month, Qiu Ci received a gift.

The gift was first delivered to the porter, then to the old lady, and finally to her.

Qiu Ci went to Zhaoxian Pavilion and learned that there was such a gift.

"It's your birthday gift." The old lady looked at her with a strange expression, "Look at it." ”

Qiu Ci is a little puzzled, tomorrow is her birthday, and the guests haven't come yet, who sent her a gift in advance?

The gift is packed in a red box, and the outside of the box is framed with gold thread, which makes people feel that the gift inside is very valuable.

Qiu Ci opened the box, and inside was a piece of mutton fat white jade the size of half a palm.

Mutton fat white jade is not only white and never anti-green, its oil content is particularly high, not the general color of the mutton fat level of mountain materials or Ziyu can be matched.

The difficulty of obtaining mutton fat white jade is high, coupled with its rarity, so jade lovers often sigh that it is difficult to find mutton fat white jade, and it is difficult to go to the sky.

Many antique shops in Beijing could not find a decent piece of mutton fat white jade.

It is rumored that a soybean-sized piece of mutton fat white jade can be sold for 100,000 taels of silver in an antique shop.

If this piece of mutton fat white jade is real, then its value must be at least hundreds of thousands.

Qiu Ci was also startled when he first saw this mutton fat white jade.

Not to mention that in this time and space, even in the later generations, such a piece of mutton fat white jade is worth tens of millions.

Such a valuable gift......

Qiu Ji closed the box, "Grandmother, is this a mistake?" ”

She could understand why the old lady's face was so weird, who was so generous to give her such a gift?

"That's right." The old lady said, "Along with this gift, there is also a post, you can take a look." ”

After she said that, Pearl gave the post to Qiu Ci with both hands.

"I would like to present this thing to Miss He San, He Fangchen."

Qiu Ci frowned slightly, in this way, this is undoubtedly a gift to her, but such a big stroke......

She couldn't help but open the box again and look at it - could this mutton fat white jade be fake? (To be continued.) )
