Chapter 11: Half a wrench
When she was with the teenager, Xia Huaiqing was not that cold and indifferent, she laughed out loud when she was happy, and when she was wronged, she played with her temper, the teenager was completely conniving at her, and everything depended on her temperament.

Xia Huaiqing wanted a small wooden house, and the young man worked hard to fulfill her wish and built her a small wooden house deep in the woods. Although the wooden house was really small and rudimentary, the boy built it very carefully.
In the dream, Xia Huaiqing could even see the fine marks on the young man's hands, all of which were scratched by sawdust. After the hut was built, the two of them would lie side by side in the hut at dusk. Most of the time, Xia Huaiqing was chattering and talking to the teenager, and the teenager just smiled and listened. When Xia Huaiqing was criticized for not completing the homework assigned by her grandfather, the young man would always listen to her complaints patiently, then rub her head to comfort her, and then teach her to do her homework seriously.
In the company of the young man, two months seemed to pass in just a blink of an eye, and Xia Huaiqing was reluctant to leave his grandfather's house and return to his home.
The dream ended here, and Xia Huaiqing woke up to find that his pillow was wet with tears.
Why are there no such memories in her memory? She only vaguely remembered that there seemed to be a teenager studying with her at her grandfather's house, but she didn't remember the teenager's face at all, and she never remembered the scene when they played together.
Xia Huaiqing, who had been awake for an hour, was still indulging in this dream, no matter how hard she tried to recall, she couldn't remember these things.
Xia Huaiqing knew that it was just a dream, but everything in the dream was so real! In her dreams, she could touch the boy's warm hand, hear the boy's hearty and doting voice when he spoke to her, and even feel the boy's rhythmic and powerful heartbeat. It was all too real and beautiful for her to believe it was just a dream.
But from beginning to end of this dream, the boy's name never appeared. Xia Huaiqing remembered everything in the dream, but only forgot the name of the young man.
It's so weird! Xia Huaiqing really couldn't figure out the meaning of this dream. If it really happened, why didn't she remember everything she and the teenager had ever experienced? If it's just a dream, then who is this teenager, and why is this dream so real?
The knock on the door brought Xia Huaiqing back to reality from last night's dream, and if she continued to think about it, I'm afraid she would go crazy! She really wanted to know the boy's name! Whether the dream was true or not, she wanted to know what the boy's name was. If it was just a dream, she wanted to keep doing it until she knew the boy's name. If it's real, she wants to know who the boy really is!
"Miss, my wife asked me to invite you downstairs for breakfast." The voice of the maid at home regained Xia Huaiqing's attention.
"Okay, tell Mom I'll go down right away." Xia Huaiqing got up and washed up.
Downstairs and sitting at the dining table, Xia Huaiqing ate breakfast absentmindedly, choking on milk and coughing violently.
Yao Jingyan saw that her daughter was choking, so she hurriedly patted her on the back to give her a good breath, and asked strangely, "Why is Qingqing absent-minded, didn't you sleep well last night?" ”
"Mom, I'm fine, I just choked on it accidentally, and I'll be fine in a while."
"It's okay. We're moving in a week, think about what you like, and don't forget to let the maids take it with you when you move. The new home is basically furnished, you don't have to bring unimportant things, stay here, there are servants here, clean regularly, and you can come back at any time if you want to come back to live. ”
"Knowing Mom, I don't have anything to bring, just bring the Huanghuali box that my grandfather handed over to me."
"You kid, I forgot if I didn't say it. After your grandfather gave you the box, you only opened it once, right? The jewelry inside is your dowry in the future, if you particularly like it, you can take it out and wear it now, it is a tyrannical thing to be put in the box by you every day. ”
"I'll pick one I like after breakfast, and my mother will pick one to wear?"
"Grandpa has jewelry specially left for my mother, and the ones given to you are all handed down by the Xia family over the years, and they can only be passed on to the descendants who have the bloodline of the Xia family, don't remember to give it to anyone."
"Mom, I wrote it down, I'll keep it."
Xia Huaiqing knew that those were the heirlooms of the Xia family, and they had always only been passed on to the eldest daughter as a dowry, and it was absolutely impossible for outsiders to have them. However, she didn't know that even the daughter-in-law of the Xia family was not allowed to wear it, with such strict inheritance conditions, could there be any secret to the things in the wooden box?
Thinking of this, Xia Huaiqing hurriedly ate breakfast, returned to the room and took out the Huanghuali wooden box. In her previous life, she hadn't looked carefully at the contents of the wooden box, and now she had to study it carefully.
The moment you open the wooden box, the fragrance fills your nose. Xia Huaiqing solemnly took out all the items in the wooden box and looked at them one by one.
It's still the same as when she first opened it, nothing has changed, but her state of mind has been turned upside down. When she first opened it, she was a veritable six-year-old who didn't understand anything. Now that she has been reborn again, although she was not very interested in antiques in her previous life, but the education of the Xia family and her grandfather was placed there, and she could basically identify the value of various antique collections.
Opening the wooden box this time, Xia Huaiqing was really not calm, these jewelry collected by their ancestors were all priceless antiques, and each one was a well-preserved boutique.
After understanding the value of these antiques, Xia Huaiqing didn't know which one to choose. Most of the antique jewelry is exquisite and gorgeous, Xia Huaiqing picked it for a long time, and decided to take out the least gorgeous and conspicuous wrench, which fits her eyes very well, and she wants to wear it with her inexplicably.
This wrench is jadeite, and it is the most noble glass type of imperial green in jadeite. In his previous life, his father once told Xia Huaiqing that among the Xia family's precious collections was a glass imperial green jade wrench, which was said to have been worn by a high-ranking and powerful prince during the Qing Dynasty.
However, this wrench is not complete, since the ancestors of the Xia family got it a hundred years ago, it has been divided into two from the middle, and the Xia family is actually only half of it preserved now. Although the value of the wrench has decreased due to the mutilation, the person who divides the wrench is very skilled, and there are almost no traces of the split. If it weren't for the fact that an ancestor of the Xia family knew all kinds of wrenches very well, the Xia family would probably have always thought that the design of the wrench itself was a narrow wrench, rather than the traditional wide wrench shape.
The glass imperial green jade wrench is obviously men's, and the size is very large, Xia Huaiqing can't wear it on his thumb at all, so he wears a thread, hangs it around his neck, and wears it closely.
Put the other antiques back into the wooden box, and then wrap the rosewood box and put it in the hidden compartment under the bed. After doing everything, Xia Huaiqing began to sit in the room and read. Of course, it is not a textbook, but a history and humanities.
Xia Huaiqing felt that there was still a lot of time, and revenge was not something that could be completed in a day or two. Reading books is actually a very interesting thing, which can not only cultivate sentiment but also increase knowledge. So she doesn't refuse any type of book, as long as it is worth reading, she will calm down and read it.
In addition to meal time, Xia Huaiqing read a book for a day. It was already completely dark, and Xia Huaiqing, who was originally immersed in the book, could no longer concentrate on reading for some reason.
Putting down the book and looking up at the night outside the window, Xia Huaiqing suddenly understood the reason why he couldn't concentrate. She had been waiting for the night all day, and when it got dark, it was time to go to bed. Reading a book all day is just to pass the time, just for the moment.
Get up and wash, then lie straight on the bed, trying to fall asleep right away. When she falls asleep, she may be able to dream of that boy again, and this time she needs to find out the situation, at least by his name!
