Chapter 9: Treasures
"Dad, mother......"
Ji Yi and Wu had just fallen asleep when they heard a knock on the door, and the two of them turned over and sat up, Ji Yi got out of bed neatly and opened the door with his clothes on.
Under the moonlight, I saw that my little eight Ji Jin's face was pale, and he trembled and said: "Dad, mother, hurry, hurry, sister Xian, ......"
"What's wrong with Sister Xian?" As soon as Wu Shi heard that something was wrong with his little daughter, his legs immediately became weak in fright, and he held Ji Yi's hand to stand firm.
Ji Yi's face also changed: "Sister Xian, tell me quickly, how is Sister Xian?" ”
Ji Zhen held Ji Yi and Wu Shi one by one: "Follow my son to take a look." ”
"Hurry up." Ji Yi said hurriedly, and the Wu family also walked forward quickly, and it didn't take long for the three of them to enter Ji Songxian's courtyard.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw a pile of soil under the begonia tree, and Ji Songxian stood aside well, looking at the three of them with a smile on his face, Ji Yi breathed a sigh of relief: "Sister Xian, what are you doing?" ”
"Son, if you don't like this begonia tree, Ming'er Niang asked your brother to cut it down for you and plant the tree next to it, don't be annoyed." Wu trembled forward slightly.
Ji Songxian hurriedly walked over to support Wu's family, and glanced at Ji Zhen again: "What did you say to your father, look at what scared your father." ”
Ji Zhen realized that he was afraid that his words were crooked, and he frightened his parents, so he hurriedly gave his hand to salute: "Daddy, is it a son, it scared the second elder, only this is the ...... Alas, see for yourselves. ”
Ji Yi had already walked over, but by the moonlight, he saw that there seemed to be something in the mound under the begonia tree, and after a closer look, it was an iron box.
"What is this?" Ji Yi looked suspicious.
Ji Zhen said quickly: "Son sent Xiao Jiu back to the yard, when he left, Xiao Jiu said that it was really hard to see his mother still weaving, so he thought that it would be good if he had a large sum of gold and silver, and said that she was now looking at everything that was shining, and seeing that there was also a golden light under the begonia tree, so she teased her to dig quickly with a shovel, and she couldn't dig out the treasure, but she didn't want Xiao Jiu to be more serious, so she had to dig with her in one place, and the result was ......."
Ji Zhen pointed to the iron box, and it went without saying that he dug up such a thing.
"What's over here?" Wu didn't speak in the right voice.
Ji Songxian waved his hand: "The eighth brother and I haven't opened it, I don't know what it is." ”
Ji Zhen stretched out his hand and laboriously moved the box out, Ji Songxian smiled: "It's better to take it to the house and open it." ”
"Just fight right here." Ji Yi sank his face and said, "Who knows what's inside, just in case...... If something bad is brought to the house, it can't be done. ”
Wu Shi also nodded: "Yes, yes, what the baby said is, open it here." ”
Ji Songxian couldn't help laughing, every time he heard Wu's shouting about Ji Yibao, who was so old, he couldn't help but laugh and couldn't bear it.
"Ugh." Ji Zhen agreed, took a shovel and pried open the corroded lock on the iron box, and slowly opened the box.
Under the moonlight, as soon as the box was opened, I felt a dazzle, the top layer of this box was a complete set of small glass utensils, there was a small kettle, and six small cups, Ji Songxian saw a lot of good objects, but he was still surprised to see such a small and delicate glass utensils: "This glass cup is really exquisite." ”
She squatted down and carefully took out the cup and teapot, and opened the lower layer, which was full of jewelry and jade of various colors, white jade, green jade, pearls, agate and amber.
"God." Ji Zhen exclaimed, squatted down and carefully put these jewels on the hem of his clothes, Ji Songxian opened another layer, the bottom layer was wrapped in a red flannel cloth, and when he opened the cloth bag, the gold was full of gold bars.
"This, this ......"
Wu pinched Ji Yi hard: "Baby, does it hurt?" ”
"Wow, it hurts, of course." Ji Yi frowned painfully, and listened to Wu's words again: "That's not a dream." ”
Ji Yi stroked his forehead: "Why don't you pinch yourself." ”
"I can't help it." Wu has followed Ji Yi all his life, but he also learned to drag the text.
"Dad, mother." Ji Zhen was surprised enough and got up with the jewelry: "This, what are we going to do with these things?" ”
Ji Songxian also got up and looked at Ji Yi very worriedly: "Dad, how much is this worth, what are we going to do with these things?" Do you keep it for yourself, or do you want to send it back to the owner? ”
Wu's slap on Ji Songxian's forehead: "It's not burned, how can this kid talk nonsense, naturally he kept it, and the fool gave it away." ”
Ji Yi also nodded: "Naturally, you have to keep it for your own use." ”
Ji Songxian was taken aback for a while, and looked at Ji Yi with round eyes, he couldn't believe it.
Ji Yi smiled: "Silly child, are you a fool when you have a clear name as a father?" Dig up the treasure well and return it to others? Dad's name is not willing to accept bribes, unwilling to do things that do not have a conscience, but digging things in his own yard is naturally for his own use, are you willing to call your mother to spin and weave at such an old age, are you willing to let you live with your brother in the bitter life, who is not happy to live a good life, but you can't go against your conscience. ”
Speaking of this, Ji Yi sighed: "The original owner of this house was convicted in the early years, and later His Majesty gave the house to our family to live in, this is ours, and whatever is dug up in the house is naturally ours, Dad is not so stupid, besides, Dad also knows a word, if God does not take it, he will suffer from it." ”
Ji Songxian looked at Ji Yi in a daze and said he didn't understand.
Ji Zhen shook his head and smiled bitterly: "What Dad said is that we really have to keep this thing ourselves, otherwise it will be a disaster." ”
Wu Shi hugged Ji Songxian: "Silly girl, no one can say anything about the treasures that our family has dug up, otherwise I am afraid that there will be no days to stop in the future." ”
Ji Songxian immediately understood, he really wanted to slap himself a few times, how could someone who had died once still be so confused, and looked at Ji Yi again, he admired it very much in his heart, and said that it was no wonder that Ji Yi could be a face, he was not only upright, but also harmonious, he was a person with great wisdom in life, and if he wanted to come, he would have to learn how to behave with him in the future.
Look at Wu Shi again, she is also very respectful to this woman who was born as a peasant woman but is now the wife of the prime minister, although Wu is not very literate and has not read much, but she has lived at such an old age, has been drawing wisdom from life, and has always been clear-cut, which is probably the reason why Ji Yi and she have always been in love.
At this time, Ji Songxian really recognized, accepted, and respected the couple.
"Move the things to Sister Xian's house, and tell your eldest brother to think of a way to make a move, these things are useless in our family, so let's exchange them for silver insurance." Ji Yi looked at the box and sighed.
But it was Wu Shi who pulled Ji Songxian and just smiled: "It's still our virtuous sister who is blessed, others have lived for so many years and haven't found out that there is a treasure under the root of this tree, but the virtuous sister has found out." ”
Ji Zhen also nodded vigorously: "What my mother said is that Xiao Jiu will have a blessing after a catastrophe if he does not die, and the luck will last in the future." ”
"It's long." Wu Shile nodded.
For a while, Ji Yi and Ji Zhen carried the box into Ji Songxian's house together and put it under her bed, Ji Songxian couldn't sleep with these objects under the bed, so Wu had to stay with her.
And after waiting for Ji Yi and Ji Zhen to go out, Wu touched Ji Songxian's hair and laughed: "Mother's virtuous sister is blessed, she is so good-looking, and the most intimate, in the future, we have to carefully pick a good person, that Jing family mother was originally uneyed, and now that she has withdrawn from her family, we will have a good choice in the future." ”
Ji Songxian didn't have much impression of the people of the Jing family, and at this time he happily coaxed the Wu family: "Naturally, the Jing family has no vision, and they can't look down on their daughter's appearance, so they will definitely ask his family to marry an ugly monster in the future." ”
Wu laughed when he heard this, and the two of them couldn't help yawning after talking for a while, and fell asleep after a while.
On the second day, Ji Songxian woke up and dressed up to see Ji Yi, she walked on the front foot, and Wu Shi asked Ji Gang and Ji Jiang to carry the box under her bed away, as for how to dispose of the things in the box, Ji Songxian really didn't care, she only knew that Wu sent her a set of noodles in two days, and when she thought about it, the things in the box had all been exchanged for money.
Ji Songxian also calculated an account when he was free, those things are all precious, if they are exchanged for money, they will have to be tens of thousands of taels, in this way, the life of the Ji family should be much better, at least there is no need for the Wu family to take their daughters-in-law to weave cloth and do embroidery work.
A few days later, Wu and his sister-in-law Sun went to Ji Songxian's house, Wu was in front, Sun took a set of clothes into the house, and when he entered the house, Wu pulled Ji Songxian, who was sitting and reading: "Good sister, quickly change your clothes and go to worship the Buddha with your mother." ”
"Worship the Buddha?" Ji Songxian was surprised at first, put down the book and asked, "Which temple to go to?" ”
Sun smiled: "Today's Lingyin Temple monks practice, many nobles in Jinling City have gone, I heard that it is very lively, my mother said that you don't go out at home all day, so I want to take you to see." ”
Ji Songxian of Lingyin Temple has also been there before, and the vegetarian food there is a must, and many noble ladies who have sucked it have tasted it in the past, and naturally, more people will go during the festival.
Ji Songxian thought of the abbot of Lingyin Temple, and thought that the person had mentioned Lingyin Temple before he died, so he remembered something, and said to Wu with a smile: "Mother, can you, can you give me some silver?" ”
"How much do you want?" Wu didn't ask why, just asked Ji Songxian how much silver he wanted.
Ji Songxian thought for a while and whispered: "Earlier, my daughter was helped by a person, but now she is gone, and she has no children and no daughters, which is very pitiful, so her daughter thought of asking the monk in Lingyin Temple to add her a Buddha lamp and bless her to have a good baby." ”
Wu Shi smiled: "This is a good thing, it should be, it is better for you to tell the name of that person, and the mother will talk to the monk." ”
"Okay." Ji Songxian smiled and said, "Her name is Song Hui'er, so let's use this name to add a Buddha lamp to her." ”
Wu wrote down the name and promised Ji Songxian that he would have to pay more money to add a big Buddha lamp to that Song Hui'er.
In this way, Ji Songxian changed his clothes with peace of mind, and the three of them went out of the house, got into a carriage that Ji Songxian had seen earlier and would definitely dislike the shabby and drove all the way to Lingyin Temple.
