Chapter Seventy-One: The Old Man Meets Again

This night, Ji Ji tossed and turned, thinking about Xie Lang's every movement and every smile.

Thinking about it like this, when she fell asleep, it was almost early in the morning.

The next day, Ji Ji got up a little late, and at this time, Qin Xiaocao had already been sent back by Xie Lang's people. While dressing up Ji Ji, she happily talked about what she had seen and heard in the past few months, "Sister-in-law, you don't know, that Xie Shibalang is really unpredictable, sometimes I just heard that there are river bandits somewhere, and when I woke up, I found that Xie Shibai had introduced the river bandits into the encirclement. โ€

In a blink of an eye, she said again: "Xie Shibalang is good at everything, but it makes my sister-in-law like it too much, the last time in a county town, there was a sister-in-law who knelt in front of him and said that she wanted to go with him, and she cried and fainted." Hey, I don't know how these sisters-in-law saw Xie Eighteen one by one, as if they had lost their souls. โ€

Ji Ji didn't want to listen to it a little, she took out a golden hairpin from the makeup box on one side and put it in the palm of her hand to admire it.

This golden hairpin is one of the boxes of jewelry in her room, the golden hairpin the size of a child's palm, carved into a butterfly-like, in the noon sun, the butterfly's butterfly wings are shining, delicate, really vivid.

After looking at it over and over for a while, Ji Ji secretly thought in her heart: There is no mark on this golden hairpin, and it should not be recognized as dirty.

She admired it here, Qin Xiaocao on one side didn't speak, she squinted her eyes and happily looked at the golden hairpin in Ji Ji's palm, although she only returned to the house last night, but she knew everything that happened at home, and she also knew that her sister-in-law brought everyone. More than 200 boxes of jewelry were fished out of the river bandits.

Therefore, Qin Xiaocao now looked at the little golden hairpin in Ji Xi's palm, as if he had seen his own mountain of treasures, and his heart was full of joy.

At this time, Zheng Wu's voice came from outside, "Da Lang, you came back late last night, and Xie Shibalang's parts went back first." โ€

Ji Ji sighed, and she said briskly, "I know." For those eight parts, she had given a bounty of 100 gold to each person two days ago.

โ€ฆโ€ฆ Don't look at everything in this Jiankang. It's hundreds or thousands of dollars at every turn. In fact, in this day and age, gold is still expensive. The price of Jiankang is large, mainly because of the large number of scholars here. A large number of children of the scholar clan who have a mountain of gold do not treat gold as gold. As a matter of fact. If this 100 gold is placed in the countryside, it is enough for ordinary people to eat corn for a lifetime!

So, for the Hsieh tribes. Ji Ji's bounty of 100 gold is not too small.

In the sunshine, Ji Ji admired the golden hairpin in her palm for a while, and missed Xie Lang for a while. Thinking about it, she couldn't sit still, so she stood up and said, "Xiaocao, let's go for a walk on the street, and by the way, see if this golden hairpin can be sold and how much gold it can be worth." โ€

This kind of thing is also Qin Xiaocao's favorite, and she happily responded at the moment: "Okay! โ€

Ji Ji said again: "Call your brother, I am a Langjun, and I only have a servant by my side." โ€

As soon as she said this, Qin Xiaocao quietly rolled her eyes.

In a blink of an eye, Ji Ji and his party went out, and after looking in the direction of the main street for a while, Ji Ji said: "Let's go to the West City Gate, I heard that there is an alley there, which specializes in all kinds of jewelry and jade." โ€

Sun Fu, who was driving, hurriedly responded: "Okay, let's go to the West City Gate." โ€

The west city gate is very far away, the donkey cart walked, it took almost two hours, looking at the street in front of her, Ji Ji walked towards a jewelry store called "Fengyu Pavilion".

In the store, there was a shopkeeper and a young man Langjun, the young man Langjun was looking through the bamboo slips in his hand, and when he saw Ji Ji stepping forward, the shopkeeper hurriedly greeted him.

Ji Ji took out the gold hairpin from the small wooden box and handed it to the shopkeeper, she said casually: "This is a gift from a friend of mine to my sister-in-law, I want to ask the shopkeeper for an estimate." โ€

After the shopkeeper glanced at Ji Ji, he picked up the butterfly golden hairpin and looked at it carefully.

When the shopkeeper watched carefully, Ji Ji's heart jumped to her throat, she remembered that in the box in her room, there were more than 20 pieces of jewelry and the same workmanship as this butterfly hairpin, the same no logo, if there is no problem with this, the 20 kinds of jewelry, the problem will not be too big.

Just when Ji Ji's palms were oozing with sweat, the shopkeeper said: "This carving seems to be Master Xun's craftsmanship." โ€

As soon as Master Xun's three words came out, the young man on one side put down the bamboo slip, he walked over, picked up the golden hairpin from the shopkeeper and looked at it.

This young man Langjun is obviously more skilled, and when he saw that the shopkeeper on one side was respectful, Ji Ji stared at him even more.

After a while, the young man put the hairpin back into the wooden box and said: "This is indeed the white jade butterfly inlaid gold hairpin carved by Master Xun himself, this hairpin is a thing fifty years ago, although the style is slightly old, the carving is exquisite and vivid, and it is the masterpiece of Master Xun, which is worth fifty gold." โ€

In a blink of an eye, he looked at Ji Ji, "Are you selling or not?" โ€

Ji Ji hurriedly said: "No, it won't be sold for the time being." With that, she put the box in her sleeve pocket, and her eyes lit up, and the beaming Qin Xiaocao walked out.

I didn't expect that a small hairpin was worth fifty gold, so in that case, the wooden box in Ji Ji's room was worth at least two or three thousand gold? So, her two hundred gold chests ......

This is simply unthinkable, and when I think about it, the master and servant are so happy that they are about to fly. Because she was too excited, Ji Ji simply didn't even sit in the carriage, she and Qin Xiaocao and Qin Xiaomu's brothers and sisters walked forward and said, "When you each get married, I will pick some rewards that can be used for you." โ€

The brother and sister happily agreed, in fact, Ji Ji's promise was certainly an encouragement to them, but it was not so exciting. Because of them, no matter how other servants in Ji Ji's manor, they will all be servants in Ji Mansion for generations, that is to say, even if they become families, their children and grandchildren will continue to work in Ji Mansion. Therefore, they and Ji Ji are truly a relationship of glory and humiliation. Of course, if they do a good job and Ji Ji's status is improved, they can shelter them as free people, and they can also be allowed to go out and set up their own doors.

Just as the three of them walked forward with a smile. Suddenly, in the alley ahead, there was a sharp cry.

This cry is very familiar!

Ji Ji was startled, and when she looked up, she realized that she had crossed the main street of Xicheng and entered the poor area near the suburbs. In the tattered street ahead, a group of beggars were beating an old woman, and next to her, a cape was scattered. A young woman who is too dirty to do. She was frantically rushing to save the old woman, but she was only a weak woman after all, and how could she save her mother?

Ji Ji looked at the woman for a while, suddenly. She exclaimed, "Zheng Mi'er? "This one is like a beggar. Wolf bรจi unbearable. It's clearly Zheng's Mi'er when he was in Jing County! Then the mother in her mouth is Ji Ji's nurse?

Ji Ji was shocked, though. Before she left Jing County, she had calculated the Zheng Mansion, and that one not only counted the two men of the Zheng Mansion to death, but also caused the Zheng Mansion to lose a lot of money, but at that time, the Zheng Mansion still had so much gold and land, and a manor, this Zheng mother and daughter, no matter what, would not become beggars, and wandered to Jiankang.

In a blink of an eye, Ji Xi understood that not long after she left, Jing County encountered a flood, a two-year disaster year, a bad response, either no harvest, or the manor was washed into the grain by the homeless people to rob food and kill people, so thinking about it, it is not unusual for the mother and daughter to fall to this point now.

Thinking of this, Ji Ji shouted: "Stop! โ€

The beggars were startled, and looked up one by one, and when they saw the appearance of such a noble person as Ji Ji, they were startled, and they scattered without saying a word.

Seeing that the beggars around her had run away, Ji Ji walked towards Zheng Mi.

She glanced at Zheng's mother, who was not injured much, but was so thin, and then looked at the chestnut rice pot that was beaten like this and was also tightly grasped in her hand, where else did she not understand?

Ji Ji sighed secretly, and she whispered to Zheng Mi, who had blank eyes, and asked, "Where do you live?" โ€

What answered her was Zheng Mi'er's dull gaze, where is this look still half a point ago? It's clearly a stagnant water.

Although Ji Ji did not regret her previous behavior, at this moment, she was also uncomfortable.

Turning his head, Ji Ji ordered Qin Xiaomu's brothers and sisters to step forward, and after helping Zheng's mother together, Ji Ji said to Zheng Mi'er: "Your mother is injured, fortunately the injury is not serious, just find a place to rest and eat something first." Where do you live? โ€

Zheng Mi'er came to her senses at this time, and she pointed towards a tattered and low earth temple.

So, everyone helped Zheng's mother to the Land Temple.

At this time, Zheng Mi'er was much more sober, she turned her head to look at Ji Ji, and looked at her for a long time, Zheng Mi'er opened her mouth several times, but the sentence "You are a little familiar" was not said. First, Ji Ji is now dressed up as Lang Jun, and second, they have been separated for nearly two years, and the teenagers and girls who are in their development value have changed greatly in the past two years, and Zheng Mi'er can no longer recognize Ji Ji.

After Ji Ji glanced at the dilapidated land temple in front of her, she took out the wooden box containing the butterfly golden hairpin from her arms, opened the box, and let Zheng Mi'er see the golden hairpin inside, Ji Ji whispered: "You take it to the Fengyu Pavilion in front, it can be worth fifty gold." With this money, you leave Jiankang and go to the countryside to buy a small house to live in peace. โ€

Fifty gold, if the two mothers and daughters are used carefully, they can be used for a lifetime.

Speaking of this, Ji Ji stood up, and she said to Zheng Mi'er, who was staring at the wooden box in her hand in disbelief and trembling all over, "My servant will go with you, and I will also escort you out of the sight of these beggars." Go ahead and live a good life in the future. โ€

Zheng Mi stood up suddenly, she turned her head to look at Ji Xi, and was about to kowtow to her a few times, but somehow, she couldn't kowtow to Ji Ji's face, so Zheng Mi lowered her head, she hid the wooden box in her sleeve, and ran out behind Qin Xiaomu.

Ji Ji walked out of the Land Temple.

She stood there like this, watching Qin Xiaomu and Zheng Mi'er enter the jewelry store, watching Zheng Mi'er running out happily, seeing Zheng's mother sober up, and seeing their mother and daughter turned around and walked out of the city gate under Qin Xiaomudi's escort, and gradually disappeared into the flow of people leaving the city.

Just as she was looking at it motionlessly, suddenly, a low and slightly hoarse voice, which was both a little beautiful and a little angry, came softly and gently, "Auntie Ji!" โ€

Ji Ji turned back suddenly!

She saw Zhuang Thirteen, who was wearing an official uniform and had walked behind her at some point!

Looking at each other, Ji Ji put her hands behind her back and said lightly: "This Xiaolang, do you know my sister?" "Because of the true situation of Ji Mansion, even if it is Jing County, only the Zheng family knows, and for other people, Ji Ji has to say that he has a wandering brother in his family, and others can't deny it. So Ji Ji's words are quite reasonable.

Unexpectedly, the official uniform was like Zhuang Shisan, who had a bit of majesty and demeanor at a young age, but he chuckled.

He walked slowly to Ji Ji and looked down at her, Zhuang Shisan's handsome face opened a smile that seemed to be a smile but not a smile. He approached her, and between his breaths, Zhuang Shisan murmured softly: "I have admired a woman for so many years, since I was thirteen years old, I have intentionally or unintentionally seduced her to take the initiative to show me a woman, can I not recognize the woman who changes into men's clothes?" Besides, the mother and daughter just now are your grandmother and sister, right? โ€

As soon as the words fell, Zhuang Shisan turned to leave after a light smile in Ji Ji's face changed, and in the blink of an eye, he got into a donkey cart, and in the blink of an eye, that terrible man gradually disappeared from her field of vision!

The second more, tears, yesterday did the first less than an hour, and in a blink of an eye it was turned over again, and there are still a few last days of this month, and everyone's pink tickets will be wasted if they are kept, and I am jealous of others, so it is better to throw them to Jiaojiao!
