Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Jade Treasure Plate
Refining qi in the third layer, the aura in the spirit jade treasure card was gradually absorbed, sure enough, after ten days, Li Chuang Wang could no longer absorb a trace of spiritual energy from the spirit jade treasure card, this spirit jade treasure card is no longer suitable for cultivation, and at the same time, the story that is routinely told to Zhang Wenyu every day has almost emptied the inventory in Li Chuangwang's stomach.
It's just that Zhang Wenyu is becoming more and more subtle now, and even when Zhang Xiaohu naughtily catches butterflies in the back garden, Zhang Wenyu will stop it, in modern terms, Zhang Wenyu is too deep into the play, and it is understandable that the poignant story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai is not known how many people have been affected in later generations, and this cardamom girl who has just started in love at the end of the Han Dynasty is naturally difficult to resist.
The next day, in the shadow of Cangting under the sunset, King Li Chuang handed the Lingyu treasure card to Zhang Wenyu and said, "Miss Wenyu, thank you for trusting me these days!" ”
"Brother Chuangwang, my father will leave in three days to celebrate Lord Zhang Hou's birthday." Zhang Wenyu took the Lingyu treasure card and said softly; "I'm about to tell my brother too."
"Oh, that's a coincidence." King Li Chuang secretly said that he was lucky in his heart, and asked by the way: "This ancient jade plate is so precious, does your father want to give it to Lord Zhang Hou?" ”
"Well, it's not!" Zhang Wenyu blinked her eyes widely, and seemed to recall: "At that time, in order to get this ancient jade card, the second uncle almost turned his face with his father, and his mother was caught in the middle and couldn't make a sound, so he could only sigh often." ”
"Your second uncle?" King Li Chuang was surprised: "You said that this ancient jade plate belongs to your second uncle?" ”
"Well, this ancient jade plate is the heirloom treasure of the second aunt!" Zhang Wenyu leaned on the railing of Cangting, and said softly: "Lord Zhang Hou is the leader of our Zhang family, and our Zhang family relies on him in many places, so every year to the birthday celebration of Lord Zhang Hou, we will give gifts to Lord Zhang Hou to express our hearts, if the gift given by the family can enter the eyes of Lord Zhang Hou, Lord Zhang Hou will give more care, so, to give gifts to Lord Zhang Hou, ordinary gold and silver property is too vulgar to be able to take it, Daddy thought about it before discussing with the second uncle to buy this jade plate at a high price, Daddy said, If this ancient jade card can be favored by Lord Zhang Hou, maybe he can be named an official. ”
"This gold is priceless and jade, how can your father buy it?" King Li Chuang was also stunned, and immediately seemed to understand that with Zhang Yuanwai's arrogant and domineering temper, he was afraid that he would have unhappiness with her second uncle in the matter of buying jade.
"Alas!" Zhang Wenyu sighed in a low voice, her face was a little pale: "Listen to my mother, the second uncle's family was still well-off before, but last year's Jizhou moth disaster, first was rushed into the house by moth thieves and ransacked, fortunately, the second aunt was clever, and fled first with the child Xiaosoft, originally went to the second aunt's mother's house, but dragged the children and daughters, the road was far away, but on the way, the officers and soldiers who pretended to be thieves were intercepted and killed, fortunately, my second uncle was good, and he escaped with his family, and those soft belongings were not kept. “
"In this world, the soldiers are chaotic, and it is a blessing in misfortune that people are fine!" King Li Chuang seemed to be a little tired when he saw Zhang Wenyu speaking in one breath, and remembered the devastated land of Jizhou along the way, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"Yes, as long as there are people, there is hope, Brother Chuangwang, my mother said the same." Zhang Wenyu lowered her head, stirred her clothes with both hands, and said in a flickering voice: "Later, the second uncle and the second aunt came to my house with a family, my second uncle likes to drink, but after the family road is broken, there is really no property to buy wine, although his mother also gave him money, but slowly there is not much money." Later, once when my second uncle was drunk, he mortgaged this ancient jade plate of my second aunt to my father. After the second aunt knew, she cried to death, but after all, people are under the eaves of others, and they have to bow their heads, no one can tell what you want me to do, and there is no money to redeem it, so I have to desperately pull the second uncle after sobering up, and the second uncle has since then, because I am extremely dissatisfied with my father's taking advantage of the power of jade, I quarreled with my mother several times, and moved to live in the back mountain in a fit of anger. “
"A penny is hard to beat a hero!" Before King Li Chuang arrived at the end of the Han Dynasty, he had a good understanding of the lack of money and materials, and secretly decided that the materials in the late Han Dynasty were so scarce, and he would have to pay more attention to money in the future.
"It's only three days, and Daddy is going to give this ancient jade plate to Master Zhang Hou." Zhang Wenyu is a woman, although she is very sympathetic to her second uncle's experience, but after all, they are all her elders, not to mention this kind of bartering thing is difficult to figure out, and she doesn't know who is right and who is wrong.
"Miss Wenyu, this money and property are all outside the body, don't be sad." King Li Chuang thought about it, but he didn't know what to say, but he was quite interested in the fact that Zhang Wenyu's second uncle's house had an ancient jade plate, so he said casually: "Otherwise, let's buy something and go see your second uncle." ”
"Ahh You're going to see my second uncle? Zhang Wenyu was stunned for a moment, and then, as if she thought of something, her face turned red again.
When Li Chuangwang saw the red-faced Zhang Wenyu, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, this girl must have wanted to be crooked again, and regarded seeing her second uncle as seeing relatives and friends.
"Miss Wenyu, it's been a long time since you've seen your second uncle and them." Li Chuangwang didn't want to explain, so he had to change the topic: "What should we buy?" ”
"The last time I saw my second aunt, it was half a month ago, and my second uncle didn't come to my mother's house." Zhang Wenyu recalled hard: "Spring is about to be sown, and the second aunt seems to be looking for some seeds from her mother." ”
"In this case, I'll go and prepare!" Li Chuangwang thought of this Zhang Wenyu, a young lady from a big family, who usually wants something in life, I am afraid that he will not be too clear, he has been in the mountains for so long, and naturally knows what things are important: "After the morning eclipse tomorrow, let's go to your second uncle together?" ”
"Okay, I'll also go get some osmanthus cake, my second aunt's favorite food." Zhang Wenyu thought about it and said, "Then I'll go back today, and I'll go and talk to my mother to see what she has to bring to my second uncle." ”
"Wait, Miss Wenyu, tell your mother, will your mother let you go?" King Li Chuang suddenly thought that the girl from this big family didn't know that it was inconvenient to go out.
"Oh, that's not going to work!" Zhang Wenyu suddenly remembered that her father had said that she was the daughter of the married age in the boudoir, although she was only a short distance to the back mountain, if she said that she would go to see her second uncle, most of them would not agree: "Then what should I do?" ”
"Miss Wenyu, if you agree with me to administer the needle." King Li Chuang frowned and thought about it, with a consultative tone: "I can straighten out your breath for you and ensure that you will not suffer from illness in the future." In this way, we can use the excuse of collecting medicine to cure the disease, and go to the back mountain to find your uncle. ”
"Brother Chuangwang!" Zhang Wenyu suddenly flew all over her face, lowered her head and said, "Do you have to take off your dress?" Then Wenyu ......"
Without waiting for King Li Chuang to react, Zhang Wenyu was scared away like a rabbit, leaving only one sentence:
"It's yours."
