When Xu Yuanshuang returned to the camp, Xu Qirong was napping with the quilt, feeling a little uncomfortable, and said softly: "I'm so sleepy, why don't you sleep?" ”

Yu Xia smiled: "The girl is waiting for you!" ”

Xu Qirong woke up, rubbed the corners of his eyes with his fingertips, raised his head and smiled at Xu Yuanshuang: "Sister Shuang, you're back!" ”

Xu Yuanshuang was a little surprised, watched Yu Xia come in to wash her, and asked, "What are you waiting for me to do?" Didn't I say you should rest first, I just had something to do. ”

Xu Qirong saw that Xu Yuanshuang's eyes were a little red and swollen, and it was difficult to ask what Xu Yuanshuang had just done, and said, "Sister Shuang, Yu Xia and I will leave here the day after tomorrow." ”

Xu Yuanshuang misunderstood what she meant, thinking that Xu Qirong still wanted to let him intercede, and thinking of what his younger brother Xu You said just now, he couldn't help but feel a little irritable, and said: "I really can't help this matter, Sister Xu, don't embarrass me." ”

Xu Qirong heard the impatience in Xu Yuanshuang's words, was stunned for a moment, and then smiled with relief: "It's not about this, I also know Sister Shuang's difficulties." Naturally, it's not good to embarrass Sister Frost. It's just," he said and stretched out his hand, revealing the piece of jade in his hand, and said, "Sister Shuang's life here is also very difficult, and this piece of jade water is very good, so I will give it to you, firstly, to thank you for your help these days, and secondly, to leave a thought, maybe in the future, there will be no chance to meet." ”

Xu Yuanshuang was stunned for a moment when she saw the piece of jade, she had also seen that piece of jade a few days ago, and it had been hanging on Xu Qirong's neck. Tucked into the clothes, it should be something very important to Xu Qirong, so it will be so important. I didn't expect that she would give it to her without blinking an eye.

He waved his hand and said, "My days here are not bitter. When you go to Yaojing in the future, there are many places to use money, so you might as well keep it for yourself! ”

Xu Qirong still stretched out his hand in front of Xu Yuanshuang and insisted, "Sister Shuang, keep it." I took this thing with me, but I was afraid that it would already fall into the hands of others before it arrived in Yaojing. Rather than cheapen others. It's better for Sister Frost to hold it. ”

Xu Yuanshuang insisted, but Xu Qirong insisted on giving it, and in the end, Xu Yuanshuang still took the piece of jade with a complicated expression. Only then did I have the opportunity to take a closer look at this jade, green as green feathers. Transparent as dissociation. The color is uniform, and the floating flowers on it are like silk, which is a piece of good jade that is hard to find. It's just that it's not polished much, and the style is a little rough.

Xu Qirong said with a smile: "This is my birthday, the birthday gift sent by the third uncle was obtained by the third uncle by chance, because I didn't think about what it looked like for a while, and there were small holes in the county town on this jade." He simply wore it with red thread as a pendant. Sister Shuang can find a craftsman to carve a little according to her own preferences. ”

Xu Yuanshuang said: "It's really a piece of superb jade." The size is not small, whether it is a jade pendant or a pendant, it is excellent. ”

Then I couldn't help but ask again: "You hang around your neck all day, don't you feel heavy?" ”

Xu Qirong's face stiffened, a little embarrassed.

Yu Xia smiled and said, "Miss Xu, take a closer look, this jade has a flat side!" When the girl just got this piece of jade, my lord just gave the girl a set of white jade head noodles as white as cut fat, and the girl liked it very much, so she was not in a hurry to find a craftsman to polish and carve this piece of jade, and kept it in the small study as a paperweight!

Later, I fled, in a hurry, and somehow brought this piece of jade with me, and there were fewer and fewer things along the way, and the girl was worried that one day she would starve, so she first hung this piece of jade around her neck, and then she could also solve her urgent needs. ”

After speaking, he pursed his lips, ignoring Xu Qirong's eyes, and said: "The maid also asked the girl if the neck was very heavy!" ”

Xu Yuanshuang's eyes widened.

Xu Qirong coughed lightly twice and explained: "It's okay to wear it once you're used to it." ”

Xu Yuanshuang had something in his heart, and he couldn't bear to talk to Xu Qirong more, afraid that he would be soft-hearted if he said too much, but Xu Qirong would be saved, but he was afraid that his situation would be more difficult, so he said: "I'm afraid that Sister Xu gave me the jade, and the neck is suddenly light, and I'm not used to it, okay, I have a malachite pendant here, although it is not as valuable as Sister Xu's jade, and it is not as important as my sister's jade, but it has been with me for a lot of time, so I gave it to my sister, and I should take it as a thought!" ”

After that, he took out a malachite monkey pendant from his clothes, took it off and handed it to Xu Qirong: "If my sister is really grateful for meeting my sister, I will accept it!" ”

Xu Qirong also had a malachite pendant, much older, when the Xu family was still in Xijing City, Xu Tingyuan and his two daughters had just moved to Zhuangyuan Lane, and Shen An's family had a forty-ninth birthday. According to the tradition of Xijing City, the servant woman is a servant, even if she has face in front of her master, she also holds a banquet every nine days, and she can't hold a big birthday on her whole birthday.

Xu Qirong got a whole piece of malachite at that time, which was as big as a strong man's fist, so he asked someone to beat a pendant of a monkey holding a longevity peach, and the rest made a bunch of beads, inlaid with a pair of gold hairpins and a pair of silver bracelets, and rewarded them to Shen An's family.

Xu Yuanshuang gave Xu Qirong this pendant, Xu Qirong didn't dislike it, and asked Yu Xia to help him put it on his neck, Yu Xia also remembered that the monkey held the malachite pendant of the longevity peach, opened his mouth to speak, and saw that his girl didn't want to mention it, so he hurriedly closed his mouth.

Xu Yuanshuang breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she had hung up the pendant, as if she had returned what she owed to others, and said lightly: "Sleep, it's not too early." ”

Xu Qirong snorted, she was really sleepy, so she didn't see Xu Yuanshuang's abnormality, just when she was also sleepy.

Two days later, I saw Chen Pi personally looking for it, Xu Qirong and Yu Xia were sewing clothes for the soldiers with Xu Yuanshuang, Chen Pi came, afraid of scaring the delicate little lady, and covered her face with her hand, and said with a smile: "Miss Shuang, I'm here to pick up someone." ”

Xu Yuanshuang glanced at him: "Why are you here to pick up people?" Among the people who sent them to Yao Jing this time, there are also you? ”

Chen Pi didn't care about Xu Yuanshuang's coldness, nodded and said: "Miss Shuang, I made a contribution last time and have been promoted to a centurion, this time together with another centurion, I will escort the nobles into Beijing with someone!" While speaking, he glanced at Xu Qirong, what kind of merit he had made to become a centurion, it couldn't be more obvious.

Xu Yuanshuang put down the needlework in his hand, got up and walked a few steps inside, and took out a money bag from under the pillow, which was obviously prepared a long time ago. (To be continued.) )
