Ji Xiaotang took it out to Qin Zhen to see, but his attention turned to Xuan'er. Xuan'er slept soundly, and her face was flushed. Ji Xiaotang couldn't help but lean~ leaned down, tidied up the thin quilt on Xuan'er's body, and gently wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief.

After doing this, she looked at Xuan'er for a while before looking up.

Qin Zhen had already put away the jade belt at this time, Ji Xiaotang didn't notice anything unusual, only vaguely felt that Qin Zhen seemed to be very interested in this jade belt.

"You are the prince, there is nothing good. Grandmother wants to give you something, but she is embarrassed to say it, for fear that you will dislike it. That jade belt must have been specially picked out for you by your grandmother. If the prince thinks it can still be seen, keep it. Put it here to me, and it will be collected in vain. Ji Xiaotang said.

"Okay, this jade belt is here for me." Qin Zhen agreed very happily, and then seemed to ask casually, "The old lady has a lot of old lady left behind?" ”

"It should be." Ji Xiaotang nodded.

Regarding Mrs. Ji's body, Ji Xiaotang probably knows the amount of gold and silver, but she doesn't know much about the head jewelry and antique calligraphy and paintings. But one thing is certain, the body that Old Lady Ji left with Old Lady Ji is far beyond the value she can estimate.

The Ji family only began to become officials from Mrs. Ji, and Mrs. Ji has not been an official for a long time, and she is also very honest. Ji Jianuo's big family property is the wealth accumulated by his ancestors in business.

The world is in turmoil, and the people are not happy, but it is a paradise for tyrants and speculators. The ancestors of the Ji family. I'm afraid it's not an honest businessman. Ji Xiaotang knows this point.

Moreover, Qin Zhen's attitude was very natural. But he still didn't escape Ji Xiaotang's keen eyes.

"Lord, what is forbidden about these things that grandmother gave us?" Ji Xiaotang asked Qin Zhen carefully.

Qin Zhen thought for a moment before shaking his head.

"It doesn't matter. However, if the old lady has anything really valuable, don't give it away. Qin Zhen said more subtlely, but Ji Xiaotang still understood it immediately.

"Don't worry, prince." Ji Xiaotang said hurriedly. "Over the years, I have been helping with housework, and the Ji family's property has been clean. Only some of the bodies that my grandfather left in my grandmother's hands. I'm not sure. But I'm sure there won't be much of it, if it's even the slightest taboo. ”

Moreover, Mrs. Ji is actually very wealthy. Most of the money that is usually taken out is gold and silver. And she has never given the body that Old Lady Ji left her to outsiders.

Even within the Ji family, Ji Xiaotang is also very sure that those things will only flow into the hands of her, Changsheng and Ji Xiaoyun in the end.

In this way, it is equivalent to being completely under her control, and she will never flow out of the eyes of people, or even cause trouble.

"The ancestors of the Ji family were in business, and at that time the world was in turmoil. There are just a few things, and it's completely in the past, isn't it? Ji Xiaotang explained the matter clearly to Qin Zhen. Then he said.

"Xiaotang is right." Qin Zhen nodded.

"Still, of course, we still have to be cautious." Ji Xiaotang thought for a while, "I'll talk to my father, and with my father watching, I don't need to worry about it." ”

Mrs. Ji has no contact with outsiders, and she doesn't know about it, coupled with Qin Zhen's blessing, Ji Xiaotang believes that no one has the opportunity to make a fuss about this.

"Lord Wang, is there a problem with that jade?" After Ji Xiaotang said this, he asked Qin Zhen again.

Qin Zhen saw that Ji Xiaotang guessed it, so he didn't hide it anymore. He took the jade belt out of the brocade box again, and asked Ji Xiaotang to carefully look at the connection between the two jade pieces.

There are additional traces of polishing between the two jade pieces, not because of the need for craftsmanship, but as if they want to polish off some kind of mark on them.

"If you don't pay attention, you won't find out." Qin Zhen explained to Ji Xiaotang, stretched out his finger and dipped the tea again, and drew a pattern on the table, "Xiaotang, if you look carefully, is this grinding pattern very similar to this?" ”

Looking at the pattern that Qin Zhen drew on the table, Ji Xiaotang couldn't help but be secretly surprised in his heart, and then compared it with the pattern that had not been completely worn off between the two jade pieces, it was the same pattern.

Without waiting for Qin Zhen to say anything, Ji Xiaotang had already carefully examined it piece by piece.

Every jade piece has the same polishing marks, but the polishing is very clean, and there is almost no mark left at all.

"This ......" Ji Xiaotang grabbed the jade belt and looked at Qin Zhen with his eyes.

"It's okay, put it in the inner library, I have a few of these things here, who knows, what else can I say?" Qin Zhen smiled and said.

Ji Xiaotang nodded and handed the jade belt to Qin Zhen.

Qin Zhen immediately called Wang Ruhai and asked Wang Ruhai to send the jade belt into the inner warehouse for storage.

"Put it together with what the noble concubine left behind." Qin Zhen also specially instructed Wang Ruhai.

Wang Ruhai didn't ask anything, agreed, and retreated with the jade belt.

Ji Xiaotang breathed a sigh of relief, but she was thinking in her heart that she had to immediately send someone to invite Second Master Ji to come and discuss it.

The pattern that Qin Zhen painted on the table had disappeared with the dissipation of moisture, leaving no trace. However, the pattern was imprinted on Ji Xiaotang's heart very clearly.

She recognized the pattern, from a very young age.

She remembered that it was the second time she had returned to Qingyuan's old house. Because I often heard Ji Er talk about the library at home, one day she woke up early from a nap, and she didn't wake up the people she served, so she entered the Ruyi Garden alone.

At that time, she was so small that almost no one noticed that she slipped into the library. The tall shelves of the library and the neatly stacked volumes on the shelves made her feel both sacred and comfortable. Because she had already read with Master Ji, she boasted that she knew a lot of words, so she looked at them one by one, and laughed in a low voice while reading the words on the spine of the book.

Then, she saw a chair and simply climbed on it. Standing in her chair, she could see the scrolls resting high up more clearly.

There was a book in it, and I don't know why it caught her attention. She pulled the book out. To her displeasure, there were many words in the scroll that she did not recognize.

This made her hold the book more and more and refused to let go, almost persistently turning page by page.

She didn't know when her grandfather had arrived, or if he had been in the library at all. All she remembered was that her grandfather had lifted her out of her chair, and she still had the book in her hand.

Afterward. Grandfather held her in front of the bookcase. Her grandfather asked her a lot of questions, except about her father, which books she had read. How many words did you recognize.

Her grandfather was kind to her, and when she answered his question, she handed him the scroll in her hand and asked him for words she did not recognize.

There seemed to be something in her grandfather's smile that she couldn't understand.

Grandfather taught her patiently.

It turned out to be a wild history. It tells the story of the first Song Dynasty. It was also the first time she saw the royal emblem of the pre-Song dynasty in that volume. It was the pattern that Qin Zhen had just drawn.

What else did my grandfather say at that time? She seemed to have some misremembering.

Grandfather probably didn't say anything more than explaining the meaning of the words to her, but when he finally closed the scroll, he said the eight words of the wheel of life and the change of the country.

After that, when she entered the library again, she never saw the book again. So many books in the library. She looked for it and set it aside.

That pattern. She has always remembered it, because of the Ruyi Garden. That pattern, like a wishful thinking.

Recalling the past of his childhood, Ji Xiaotang secretly sighed in his heart, but did not mention it to Qin Zhen.

Those things, as well as the Ji family's past, will slowly become completely dusty with the years. What she needs to face more is the present and the future.

On the same day, Ji Xiaotang sent someone to invite Second Master Ji to King An's Mansion under the pretext of an excuse, and told Second Master Ji like this. Second Master Ji was much more nervous than Ji Xiaotang, so he assured Ji Xiaotang and Qin Zhen that no matter what Old Lady Ji still had, he would never appear in front of the world.

However, Qin Zhen comforted Second Master Ji, after so many years, the descendants of the Qi family have also been named Shunyi Bo, just be careful about such things, but you don't need to be too nervous.

……

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is May.

Seven catties of full moon wine were placed in Xinhuatang. Its scenery and liveliness cannot be compared with the full moon of King An's little prince, but Shunyi Bo is backed by the Ji family of Xinhuatang, and there are two courteous people like King An and Emperor Longqing, and there is an endless stream of guests who come to eat full moon wine.

On this day, Qin Zhen pushed all other entertainment and accompanied Ji Xiaotang to Xinhuatang. The two of them also brought Qin Xuan over, which made everyone in Xinhuatang very happy.

Since Ji Xiaotang got married, Yanhuatang has been empty, but the second master and the second wife of Ji did not arrange for anyone to live in it, but kept everything as it was and arranged for the maid's mother-in-law to take care of it every day.

Ji Xiaotang came to drink seven catties of full moon wine this time, because he brought Qin Xuan, the nurse and the maid who served him brought a lot of them. She and Qin Zhen simply took a group of people to rest in Yanhua Hall.

Outside the Yanhua Hall, the guards and servants of the palace were changed, and idle people were not allowed to enter.

The Ji family knew that Xuan'er's identity was unusual, and they also knew the danger he was facing, so they didn't allow Ji Xiaotang to take Xuan'er elsewhere, and Mrs. Ji personally brought someone to Yanhua Hall.

Ji Xiaoyun and Xie Huaijin also came, followed by the nurse holding seven catties.

After a month of recuperation, Ji Xiaoyun has largely recovered, but her body is still relatively weak. Xie Huaijin became a father, and he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth almost all day this month.

Everyone greeted each other and then sat around the hall and talked. Naturally, everyone's attention was focused on the two children.

Because Mrs. Ji doesn't like to go out, she sees Xuan'er the least number of times, and she can't take her eyes off Xuan'er at this time.

"Rare fat boy." Looking at Xuan'er, Mrs. Ji's smiling eyes narrowed, and she hurriedly asked someone to take a lot of things out.

Gold collars, longevity locks, small bracelets and small anklets with bells, this is something for seven catties to celebrate the full moon, and Xuan'er once had the same set when she was full moon.

In addition, Mrs. Ji took out a heavy red gold collar and two heavy anklets, saying that they were for Xuan'er.

There are no patterns on the gold collar, but it is very thick, and so is the small anklet, even if Ji Xiaotang holds it in his hand, he feels quite pressed, it is still a very simple style, and there is no exquisite pattern.

"Your father has to ask me to clean up the cabinet, for fear that I will not use anything for many years and put it in the cabinet and put it bad. I found some of these things, and I forgot about them. It doesn't look very good, but it doesn't hurt for a little boy to wear it. ”

Ji Xiaotang glanced at Second Master Ji.

Second Master Ji nodded, signaling that he had listened to Ji Xiaotang's words, and had already thought of helping Mrs. Ji clean up herself, so that Ji Xiaotang could rest assured.

Ji Xiaotang put his mind at ease, and then looked at the two things that Mrs. Ji prepared for Xuan'er, and couldn't help laughing.

Where is this thing that the little boy wears harmlessly, it is clearly the family wealth accumulated by the old rich man in the countryside in a different way from the gold ingots.

Such things were pressed in Mrs. Ji's box by Mrs. Ji, I am afraid that they are preparing for their children and grandchildren, in case one day they lose their routine, and these things can be directly used as gold and silver.

She imagined what Xuan'er would look like wearing these things again, and couldn't help but laugh even happier.

"Old lady, we don't need this ......"

Before she finished speaking, she was stopped by Mrs. Ji.

"You said no, Xuan'er didn't say no. This is for Xuan'er, not for you. Could it be that you dislike the ...... you don't look good, and you wore such a collar when you were a child......"

Ji Xiaotang was immediately distracted, she really didn't remember wearing such a stupid and nouveau riche thing when she was a child, so she couldn't help but turn her eyes to Mrs. Ji Er.

Second Mrs. Ji was also pursing her lips and smiling, and when she saw Ji Xiaotang looking over, she nodded.

"Your grandfather and grandmother knew that we had given birth to you, so they sent someone to bring you a set." However, she didn't give Ji Xiaotang to wear it, not because she disliked the ugly look, but because she felt that the thing was too heavy, and she was afraid that the child would panic when she wore it.

"You wore it when you were a kid. Later, when I got older, I didn't wear those things anymore, so I put them up for you. You don't pay attention either, didn't that put you in the dowry and pressed the bottom of the box? Mrs. Ji Er continued.

"You sisters have it!" Mrs. Ji also said.

"This is an old thing, I'm afraid it was still purchased by your great-grandfather at that time, the old lady gave it, and it still carries the old lady's blessing, you can just put it away for Xuan'er." Second Master Ji also said.

Ji Xiaotang smiled at this time, and asked Jin'er to put away the collar and gold bracelet, secretly planning in his heart, when Xuan'er is older and stronger, he will find out this set and let him wear it one day, and then give him a golden dress, I don't know what Xuan'er will look like when she dresses up like that? !

Xuan'er didn't know what his mother~ was thinking in his heart, and he was still grinning in the arms of Mrs. Ji. (To be continued.) )
