Chapter 36: Tokens
After telling He Zhang about moving away, Ji Qing also let go of a major event in his heart.
On the second day, she took honeysuckle and holly to Xinghua Hutong.
Knowing that Ji Qing would move over in a few days at most, and hearing Ji Qing say that He Zhang was going to come over here to see the environment of this house, Amber and Mama Yu were very happy.
"Girl, don't worry, the old slave must train the maids below these days, and you will not be embarrassed by the girl!" Mama Yu said excitedly: "That Lord He helped the girl a lot, and on the day he came to be a guest, the old slave must make a few good dishes by himself." ”
It can be regarded as a gratitude to that Lord He for taking care of his girl over the years.
Mama Yu also knew that this kind of gratitude was too thin, but now she can only express her gratitude like this.
Ji Qing smiled and nodded when he heard this: "Okay." ”
She hadn't felt this feeling of someone doing everything for herself.
Mama Yu happily began to think about which dishes she would cook when He Zhang came as a guest.
After pondering for a while, Mama Yu suddenly remembered something.
"Girl, the old slave still has something for you." Mama Yu said.
Ji Qing was a little puzzled.
Mama Yu didn't explain, but left for a while, and soon came back with a small box.
Seeing that Mama Yu was looking at herself with something but didn't speak, Ji Qing looked at Honeysuckle and Holly: "You go outside and guard." ”
Honeysuckle and Holly retreated.
Ji Qing asked, "Mama Yu, you said you have something to give me?" ”
Mama Yu nodded, and then opened the small box in her hand.
This box is not big, and there are not many things in it, only a few pieces, but Ji Qing recognized it at a glance, and the things in it are all old things of the Lu family in the past.
"This is ......" Ji Qing was a little excited.
She stepped forward and took out the contents of the box one by one.
A set of emerald heads, a pair of bracelets inlaid with rubies, and a pair of pearl earrings.
Ji Qing was not mistaken, these things were indeed Lu's old things.
The reason why she can recognize it is because these are the jewelry that the Lu family used to wear back then, and the Lu family also said that the set of emerald heads is her dowry, and when Ji Qing gets married in the future, she will also give Ji Qing as a dowry.
These long-ago memories suddenly became unusually clear after seeing a few pieces of jewelry in the box.
Ji Qing remembered the reluctance and amazement on Lu's face when he talked about his marriage, and he couldn't help but feel sour in his heart.
Her mother, before she could see her married, suffered such a catastrophe.
I don't know......
Mother, how are they?
In the past ten years, Ji Qing easily didn't dare to think about the situation of the Lu family and others, she was afraid that she couldn't help but collapse when she thought about it, and she could only secretly pray in her heart that her mother and they would be safe.
As long as there is peace, it will be fine.
In fact, compared to the Lu family, Ji Qing is more worried about his grandmother Liu.
When the Ji family was in trouble, the Liu family was already close to the age of sixteen, and they were already old, and they had to stay away from their homeland to go to the rumored miasma of Lingnan......
Taking a deep breath, Ji Qing quickly suppressed all the churning emotions.
She knew that her fantasies were useless now, and instead of fantasizing, it was better to find a way to clear the Ji family's charges as soon as possible.
"Mama Yu, these things ......," Ji Qing said softly.
Mama Yu's eyes were a little gloomy: "Girl, these are all old things from Mrs. ......"
The Lu family returned the deed to Amber and Mama Yu in the early years, which is also the reason why they were able to escape the catastrophe in the first place, the disaster of that day was indeed too sudden, but the first time he found out that something was wrong, Lu ordered Mama Yu to go to her room and bring some things away.
Mama Yu also knew that even if she could get out, she would not be able to take away too many things, let alone those dazzling things, so she only took this jewelry box from Lu's room that day.
Even so, it is extremely difficult to bring this box out.
"Girl, Madame, I want to leave a message for you......" Mama Yu said.
At that time, the Lu family still wanted to push Ji Qing out, and left Mama Yu and Amber behind, which can be said to have planned for Ji Qing to the extreme under the circumstances at that time.
It's just that the Lu family probably didn't expect that Ji Qing and Amber Yu Mama couldn't meet at all.
Ji Qing gently rubbed a few pieces of jewelry.
Mama Yu has kept a few pieces of jewelry very well, even if ten years have passed, you can still see the unique gorgeousness of these pearls and emeralds, looking at these jewelry, Ji Qing is like seeing the Lu family.
After a long time, Ji Qing took the box and wanted to put the jewelry back in.
This is his mother's old belongings, and Ji Qing naturally wants to keep them well.
However, when she picked up the box, Ji Qing seemed to hear a slight impact, she paused, and then picked up the box and shook it vigorously.
Click!
There is a crashing sound, but it's so small that it's easy to ignore if you don't listen closely.
What else is in there?
Ji Qing looked at Mama Yu suspiciously, but found that Mama Yu also had the same doubts on her face.
Obviously, Mama Yu didn't know about this.
Ji Qing lowered his head and looked at the box again.
This box is very delicate, not much bigger than Ji Qing's palm, otherwise Mama Yu would not have been able to bring it out so easily, the few old things that contained the Lu family were just right, and there was no extra space in addition.
Ji Qing observed for a while before discovering that the bottom of this box seemed to be extraordinarily thick.
Come to think of it, the mystery is at the bottom of this box.
After some effort, Ji Qing found the mezzanine at the bottom of the box and saw what was hidden inside.
A piece of green jade jade.
And it is also a jade pendant made of ordinary green jade with a very ordinary texture and head, and even a lot of impurities visible to the naked eye.
Ji Qing was even more puzzled.
She originally thought that since she could be hidden in this mezzanine by the Lu family, it should be something more important, or something extremely valuable, but this jade pendant, no matter how she looked at it, didn't make her see the importance.
Ji Qing suddenly thought that after completing the task that gave both her and He Zhang a headache yesterday, the reward she got was "a token".
Ji Qing's heart moved, and he asked in his heart: "System, this is the token of reward?" ”
System: "Yes. ”
The system only said these two words, and other than that, Ji Qing didn't say a word when he asked again.
If he hadn't been accustomed to acting systematically, Ji Qing would definitely have to be angry.
It was precisely because of talking to the system that Ji Qing didn't notice that when he saw this jade pendant, Mama Yu's obviously strange look had returned to normal by the time Ji Qing finished arguing with the system.
