Soon after Qingxi returned to Shangdu from Beisu, Xiao Yizheng showed her the dragon-patterned jade pendant left to him by Empress Xiaoyi.

At this time, the jade pendant was on Xiao Yizheng's body.

Qingxi stopped breathing at the first sight when he saw Jiang Lian take out the jade pendant in his hand from the box, this jade pendant was too similar to the jade pendant that Xiao Yizheng was carrying.

The jade body is transparent, half-moon shaped, and the pattern of the divine beast is exquisitely carved.

"Brother Jiang's jade, but it is a fine product." Xiao Yizheng retracted his gaze, stared at Jiang Lian, and smiled.

Jiang Lian raised his eyes slightly, met his gaze, and did not speak.

Qingxi stepped forward and said softly: "Mr. Jiang, I love jade very much, I wonder if I can take a closer look at this jade?" ”

Jiang Lian looked away at this time, looked at Qingxi, and nodded without hesitation.

Xiao Yizheng frowned slightly, and immediately returned to his light color.

Qingxi took the jade pendant and took a closer look, the divine beast carved on the jade pendant was not a dragon and phoenix, it seemed to be a vermilion bird.

The bookworm Wu was concentrating on admiring the paintings, but when he heard that they were all discussing the affairs of Yu Pei, he leaned over, looked at it, seemed to be a little disappointed, and turned back to look at the paintings.

Qingxi looked at it for a long time, and returned the jade pendant without moving.

After everyone left the study, Xiao Yizheng instructed Zhao Xin and Xiao Shengzi to prepare the carriage to set off.

The bookworm Wu was still reminiscing about the painting he had just seen, and he didn't reflect it for a while, but Jiang Lian was slightly stunned and asked, "But you can't take care of it again?" The sixth master is in a hurry to leave? ”

Xiao Yizheng arched his hand and said: "Brother Jiang takes care of it very properly, but the birthday of the inner son has dropped, and he is in a hurry to go home to celebrate, so he can't stay longer." ”

Qingxi glanced at him, showing her tenderness.

Jiang Lian was slightly stunned, then nodded and smiled: "The sixth master and his wife have a deep affection, and they are very envious of them, so they are not forced to stay." He is destined to be reunited one day. ”

Destined to reunite?

These four words are worth playing.

The bookworm Wu only reflected at this time that Xiao Yizheng was leaving. However, parting is not a thing worth melancholy for him. Naturally, he and Xiao Yizheng waved their hands and said no.

Xiao Yizheng looked at him, smiled faintly, and arched his hand.

Not long after the carriage left Jiangfu, Qingxi asked, "You're also shocked, aren't you?" ”

There were only her and Xiao Yizheng in the car.

Xiao Yizheng looked calm, but he still frowned and nodded.

"I took a closer look, that jade pendant is quite similar to the jade pendant you and Li Han are looking for, but doesn't it mean that there is a merchant in Beisu who also has this jade pendant in his hand? What's going on here? Qingxi had a lot of questions.

Xiao Yizheng said in a deep voice: "Regardless of whether the jade pendant I and Li Han are looking for is the same object, one thing is certain, neither she nor I can be sure what the jade pendant is looking for. Therefore, whether it is Jiang Lian's so-called family heirloom or the jade pendant in the hands of Beisu merchants, it may not be what we are looking for. Beisu businessmen don't talk about it for the time being, this Jiang Lian is very strange. ”.ν.

"He, will he know who we are?"

Xiao Yizheng was noncommittal.

"So you're in a hurry to leave Jiangfu?"

He nodded: "From the time we met him in Changlong Temple, to staying in Jiang Mansion, and then to taking out that jade pendant, I always felt that all of this seemed to be in Jiang Lian's plan." Have you ever noticed that when I said I was leaving, he looked surprised for a moment. He didn't expect that, and I just left. The first step to break the game is to disrupt his plan. ”

Qingxi saw that his face was solemn, so he slowed his voice, took his arm and said, "I think we can't leave for the time being, yes or no?" ”

Xiao Yizheng looked at her with low eyes, stroked her cheek, and said gently: "I said, I rushed to Sujiang to celebrate your birthday, and nothing can go over this." ”

Qingxi smiled sweetly: "It's enough to have this heart, I hope you can find what you're looking for." ”

Halfway through, Xiao Yizheng stopped the carriage and instructed Zhao Xin to escort Qingxi and his party onto the boat, and he was going to the local Taishou Mansion.

Zhao Xin hesitated: "What does Your Highness want to do, let your subordinates go and do it." ”

Xiao Yizheng shook his head: "There are some situations that I need to verify and explain in person." ”

Qingxi said: "You go, don't bear it."

The heart of us, there is Zhao Xin, we are waiting for you on the ship. ”

After Zhao Xin escorted Qingxi and them to the boat, he was very vigilant outside the cabin.

Qingxi smiled so that he didn't have to be so nervous to go back and rest.

Before Zhao Xin could speak, Xiao Yiran said with a straight face: "Sixth sister-in-law, if the sixth brother comes back and sees that the master only cares about his own rest and ignores your safety, the master will be miserable." ”

Qingxi sneered, and Zhao Xin nodded thoughtfully.

"Madam, didn't you get up early today and say that you didn't rest, come back and rest first." Moon Shadow poked her head out of the cabin.

"Sixth sister-in-law, you can rest." Xiao Yiran dropped a sentence, and then pulled Xiao Shengzi to the stern of the boat to watch the dust.

Qingxi doted on his figure and told him to be careful.

"Madame!" Zhao Xin called in a deep voice, as if reminding him of what had happened.

Qingxi turned to look.

Sure enough, Jiang Lian was coming.

She frowned, and when she saw that he was coming alone, she immediately ordered Zhao Xindao: "Go and take Xiao Qi back to the cabin, no matter what happens, protect his safety first." ”

"The safety of the princess is also the responsibility of subordinates." Zhao Xin raised his eyebrows.

Qingxi saw that Jiang Lian had already arrived at the dock and dismounted, so he urged: "Go quickly." After a pause, he comforted: "I'm just in case, you see that he came alone, it won't be good." ”

Zhao Xinxin said the same, so he thought about sending Xiao Yiran back to the cabin first and handing him over to Xiao Shengzi to escort. He walked quickly.

Qingxi stabilized his mind, walked forward, and smiled at Jiang Lian, who had already stepped on the deck and boarded the boat: "Is Mr. Jiang here to see him off?" ”

After Jiang Lian got on the boat, he first saluted respectfully, and said gently: "Madame is polite, can the sixth master be there?" ”

Qingxi shook his head and said embarrassedly: "Because I want to eat some sweet and sour pastries, I asked him to run errands." ”

Jiang Lian smiled politely and quipped: "I can see, I can see that the sixth master is very fond of his wife." He paused, and then said: "The sixth master and his wife left in a hurry, and I was also not thoughtful, and I was very uneasy when I failed to prepare some gifts for you. Hearing the sixth master mention that his wife's birthday is approaching, Jiang thought that the sixth master and his wife must be not lacking anything, but he still wanted to express his heart. As he spoke, he took out a folded piece of paper from the purse on his waist and handed it to Qingxi: "Last night, Jiang was going to give this thing, but Mrs. refused to accept it." Today, as a gift for Jiang to get acquainted with the sixth master, it is also a gift to congratulate Mrs. on her birthday, and I hope Mrs. will not refuse. ”

Qingxi glanced at the piece of paper and asked suspiciously, "Why is Mr. Jiang so generous, even willing to give up the secret recipe of the 10,000 Yuan Building?" ”

Jiang Lian still had a warm smile, and said unhurriedly: "The family has quite a large property, and to put it mildly, there is no temptation for money. This 10,000 yuan building is not supported by a few secret recipes. I hit it off at first sight with Mrs. Liuye, I only think this secret recipe is my mind, and Mrs. doesn't have to treat it as a secret recipe. If Mrs. doesn't accept it, it will embarrass Zaihao. ”

Qingxi stared at him, but he waited calmly, and what he said was reasonable and proportionate.

She smiled and said: "Mr. Jiang's kindness seems to be really difficult to refuse, but my mouth is raised by my husband is a little more demanding, and this secret recipe may not be of much use to me, just understand it." ”

"No, ma'am, you do." Jiang Lian's expression suddenly became solemn: "It's not an exaggeration to say that the nose is very smart. In my judgment, the medicine taken by my wife should be to nourish the body, to make up for the loss of the body, and to help the effect of pregnancy. If you take this medicine for a long time, it will dilute the taste in your mouth, although it is not a big problem, but in the end it will make your appetite poor, and it is better to supplement it with this appetizing soup. ”

Qingxi was shocked and frowned slightly. What are the benefits of helping you get pregnant? Is this the effect of taking the pill every day? Xiao Yizheng never said it. But no matter how many questions she had in her heart, she still said quietly: "Mr. Jiang trusts his nose very much." It's just that there are no absolutes, and so is Mr.'s guess. ”

Jiang Lian's hand dragged the piece of paper and didn't put it down, sighed slightly, and said with a smile: "Madame's hostility towards Jiang is too great, so you don't have to." Jiang can point to heaven and earth and say, I have no malice. ”

Speaking of which, Qingxi felt that it would be unwise if it was a stalemate.

So, she raised her hand to take the secret recipe and said gently, "Sir."

Worried. My husband walks the rivers and lakes and makes friends, and I hope to have a frank relationship with my husband. In this way, I am very grateful. ”

Jiang Lian saw her smiling shallowly, her clothes fluttering, and nodded with a smile.

Qingxi said: "Since Mr. Jiang is so generous, he doesn't come to be rude, but now that we are away from home, we have no long things, and when we arrive in Sujiang, we will definitely ask someone to send some things unique to Jiangnan to Mr. ”

Jiang Lian raised his head, his smile became warmer, and he arched his hand and said, "In this way, I will thank you first." This goes to Jiangnan, the scenery on both sides of the strait is very beautiful, the journey is smooth, Mrs. take care. ”

Qingxi was still thinking about what he would do if he stayed until Xiao Yizheng came back, but he didn't want him to salute and get off the boat after he finished speaking, as if he really just came to send this secret recipe.

She turned around, looked at Zhao Xin, who had been silently hiding in the shadows and paying attention to her situation, and smiled: "I said it's okay." ”

Zhao Xin pursed his lips, it was best to have nothing to do, if there was another thing to say about Xiao Yizheng, even the Moon Shadow would have to hate himself to death.

After Qingxi returned to the cabin alone, he opened the letterhead and looked at it again and again, but found nothing special, just an ordinary recipe for appetizer soup. She is not good at cooking, and she can't study whether this combination is unique or not. In addition to this prescription, what made her even more irritated was what was the effect of the medicine she was taking every day.

She needs to ask Xiao Yizheng this question.

After they finished lunch on the boat, Xiao Yizheng returned.

As soon as he got on the boat, he ordered the boatman to sail.

Zhao Xin told him that Jiang Lian had come, and Qingxi had very little lunch, and had been alone in the cabin, so he hurriedly went to the cabin.
