Chapter 35: Returning the Pearl

After reading them one by one, until there were only a few gold ingots left in the box, and two thin house deeds and title deeds, and nothing else, Mama Han thought for a moment, then turned around and asked Xie Jiang in a low voice: "Have you remembered everything?" ”

Underlying Meaning······ No anomalies were found

"There is also a bag of sea pearls next to the pillow" Xie Jiang pointed to the bed and said softly, "The ninth prince said that this is a birthday gift for the old lady, Mama will take a look first, and someone will send it to him later."

Mama Han leaned over and took out a brocade bag from the bed tent, pinched and twisted the fabric with two fingers, and then tore off the silk buckle and shook it on the couch "Ding Ding Dong" more than a dozen beads and bones. Rolled to the couch, this is not the point, the point is that after the ding dong, there was another crisp sound, and half a palm-sized jade pendant fell out.

There was still a piece of this in the brocade bag, Mama Han was stunned for a moment, turned her eyes and thanked her: "Doesn't the lady know that there is an ornament in the bag?" As he spoke, he raised his hand and took the jade pendant and looked at the light carefully, "Jade is extremely precious and rare Huanglong seed jade, and the carving skills are fine and rare, it is obviously a master's handwriting, in addition······ It's nothing special."

Xie Jiang naturally knew the meaning, and said softly at the moment: "In the Jade Pavilion that day, the Ninth Prince wanted to win me, so he took this piece of Pei as a bet. I thought the guards had missed it when they were packing up, but I didn't expect it to be here."

In this sentence, the former sentence is an explanation, and the latter sentence has the meaning of a hint.

Mama Han looked at the window again for a long time, and Fang frowned and said, "Except that the bat eyes carved on it are a little peculiar, the old slave can't see anything wrong······ Speaking of this, he suddenly lowered his voice and asked, "Didn't the ninth prince ask for this piece?" ”

"No" carefully recalled Wang Jiu's words and expressions at that time, Xie Jiang shook his head and smiled bitterly, "At that time, he only wanted Haizhu, and he didn't mention anything else."

"In this way, it is indeed as the ninth prince said" Mama Han handed the jade pendant to Xie Jiang and whispered, "It is said that there should be no men's personal belongings around the lady, but this kind of jade winter? Xia Liang is very supportive, and the lady still plays with it."

Xie Jiang waved his hand and said, "Mama doesn't know, I'm most impatient with these accessories, put them away."

After being busy for a long time and not finding anything suspicious, the two of them had to give up. Mama Han instructed Beidou to pack up the box, looked back at Xie Jiang and said, "Didn't the ninth prince want beads?" It seems that only the old slave went to East Street."

Take a trip to this······ Obviously, it's not as simple as just sending things, a golden and noble son, for the sake of the bag of Haizhu, turned back on his face and turned his word, which was extremely unusual in itself, and the old lady decided to take the opportunity to find out for herself.

Xie Jiang lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then looked up at Mama Han and advised: "It is the most appropriate for Mama to send it, but Mama must remember a little, I would rather rot a qiē in my stomach than let the Ninth Prince notice that we are suspicious."

There are some things that are not known for the best, and if you really find out the secret that others are trying to hide, it may lead to a catastrophe.

Xie Jiang said cautiously, and Mama Han replied even more carefully: "Don't worry, lady, the old slave only has eyes, ears and ······ Heart to go"

The eyes should see, the ears should listen, the heart should think, remember, always pay attention to conceal their true intentions, and more importantly, analyze and speculate what they hear and see, and sort out the clues of the pulse.

Knowing that Mama Han was not careless, Xie Jiang nodded and said: "Mama be careful, this person seems to be uninhibited and generous on the surface, if he touches his scales, he will never take care of any relatives" Speaking of this, he paused, and slowly spit out, "No matter what, we can do it well."

This sound not only helpless, but also a little aggrieved.

Mama Han's eyes turned red instantly, and she gave Xie Jiang a dignified salute: "Don't worry, the Xie family has no one to protect you, and the Guanjin Cui family is not easy to mess with, if the ninth prince does something again, the old slave will take the lady to find the old lady" After saying this, without waiting for Xie Jiang to open his mouth, he lifted the curtain and walked out.

The bead curtain swayed leisurely, and there was a small sound of crumbling, Xie Jiang was stunned for a moment, and when he got up to chase out, Mama Han was already out of the courtyard. Beidou asked in a low voice: "Lady, what's wrong with Mama?" ”

"Mama went out to do something" Xie Jiang replied in his mouth, but he wondered in his heart, what Mama Han said was to find the old lady, whether it was the ancestor of the Wang family or the old lady of the Cui family. The old lady of the Guanjin Cui family has a good relationship with the old lady Wang, and the sons and nephews of the two families also have good friendships, but no matter how good the friendship is, how can the old lady Wang embarrass her grandson for outsiders, not to mention the most outstanding one of the Langya Wang generation.

It's better to rely on others than on yourself in this matter, it's better to see the tricks, Xie Jiang made up his mind, and was just about to enter the hall, when the doorkeeper Ayuan entered the courtyard, saw Xie Jiang, and said embarrassedly: "Oh, why is the little lady standing outside?" ”

This person went out to wash his clothes in the morning, and didn't come back until near noon, Xie Jiang didn't bother to pay attention to her, turned his eyes and asked Beidou: "Is Hantang ready for lunch?" ”

Before Beidou could speak, Ayuan interjected: "Yes, I said how Xueji rewarded the slave and maid with two shortbreads, it turned out to be dinner" As he spoke, he took out a cloth bag from his sleeve and showed it to the two of them "It smells amazing······"

This man went out for two or three hours, and it turned out that he went to see Yukihime. Xie Jiang rolled his eyes a few times, and asked softly, "Is Xue Ji dancing for you to see?" ”

"How can such a rough person like a slave and maid know how to appreciate those" Ayuan pursed her lips and said with a slight sourness: "Yesterday night, Xue Ji's maid came to look for the slave and maid, saying that a skirt was torn, and the central slave and maid made up for it.

Such a woman who knows how to needle and thread is all over the house, and this maid actually went around most of the circle to the wisteria courtyard, besides, the master who made a gift of hardware, how could he wear the mended clothes and rewards, obviously the mended clothes are just a pretext.

Xie Jiang pointed to the shortbread, blinked and asked Beidou: "Last time Mama Han went, didn't she reward a piece of gold, why did she make up for half a day's clothes and only give two pieces of cake?" ”

Beidou said: "That's it, I've been doing my work for a long time, not to mention the people in our courtyard?"

Ayuan's face was red and white, and she wanted to throw away the cloth bag but couldn't give up her face, so she finally stuffed her hatred into her sleeve, looked at Xie Jiang and said, "Slave? When she was dressed, Yukihime asked the slave? What did the little lady do in the evening, who did not meet"

The woman was so angry that she simply sold her.

Xie Jiang's heart moved, and he wondered: "I'm at night?" Have you had dinner and read a book? What do these do, she asked? ”

"What does the lady do, where does a Ji person worry about it?" Beidou pinched his waist with both hands, raised his eyebrows and said, "What else did she ask?" ”

Ayuan muttered: "She asked the slave maid if she heard the dog barking the night before, and said that she saw someone coming this way, and she was afraid that she would startle the lady" According to this, it is likely that when the people of the ninth prince came to the Wisteria Courtyard the day before yesterday, they were bumped into by Xue Ji······ p; Dear, I have a ticket in my hand, and I will reward two meows
