101. Mother's dowry
Early in the morning of the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, the carriage arranged by Lei Zhong came to the old house of the Liu family, and it is estimated that it will set off from the town before dawn.
In order not to get his baby granddaughter tired, he also specially arranged for two strong men to accompany him, just to carry things for her.
In terms of spoiling his granddaughter, Lei Zhong is definitely a good hand.
Liu Jun calculated that Lei Zhong would arrange someone to pick him up, but he didn't expect three to come, and he came so early, so he hurriedly woke up Liu Jiaojiao, who was still sleeping, and asked her to wash up quickly, and then instructed the guys to move things, and he hurriedly went to Lao Li Tou's house to pick up people.
When Lao Li Tou and Liu Jun came over with their luggage, the things that should be moved in the old mansion had already been moved.
The brother and sister didn't have many things, except for the ones that had to be taken away, the rest of the bedding and ingredients, Liu Jiaojiao simply left them to the Liu family.
It's not that she's become generous, but because she has changed her opinion of Liu Da a little, she doesn't mind letting him be a little more comfortable when he moves in.
In fact, to put it bluntly, Liu Jiaojiao is a hard-mouthed and soft-hearted person, and whenever others treat her a little better, she will double the return, but it is a pity that Liu Da understands this, but the rest of the Liu family does not understand it.
The carriage sent by Lei Zhong this time was not the one from the pharmacy, it was twice as big as the one, probably because he thought that there were many people and things, and he was afraid that his granddaughter would be squeezed and uncomfortable, so he specially went to rent it.
Just as a few people were packing up and preparing to get into the carriage and leave, Liu Da came, still carrying a burden in his hand.
walked in front of Liu Jun and stood still, glanced at Liu Jiaojiao with some trepidation, then handed the burden to Liu Jun, and said: "I know that you went to the town today, and you came here early, but I didn't expect to miss it." When the fire broke out that day, your grandmother still grabbed some things out, I carefully flipped through them, found some of your mother's things back then, and sent them to you, you keep them well, although it is not worth a few dollars, it is also a thought. β
As he spoke, he lowered his head a little ashamedly, "The Liu family is sorry for your father, and I'm sorry for you and Jiaojiao, you have to be good in the future, if you don't come back, don't come back!" β
After saying that, he raised his head and looked at the brother and sister deeply, turned around and strode away.
The Liu family was holding the burden in his hand, and his expression was a little complicated and difficult to argue.
Liu Jiaojiao walked over, patted his hand, and said, "Brother, let's get in the car first." "It's better to sigh here and then leave, others are still waiting.
Liu Jun didn't speak, just nodded, then hugged the burden tightly, and got into the carriage quickly.
The village chief originally wanted to send it off, but Liu Jiaojiao refused, she didn't have to move so much, but told the village chief to let Liu Qiang go to the town's Baohetang to find her after fifteen, and the village chief readily agreed.
But although he didn't come today, he specially asked Liu Qiang to send something over last night. What was sent was the clothes and shoes that his daughter-in-law had worked in a hurry these days, and the two brothers and sisters had two sets each.
Such a gift is far more precious than any gold and silver, Liu Jiaojiao recorded the village chief's affection in her heart, thinking that she would cultivate Liu Qiang well in the future and repay the village chief for helping them all the time.
On the carriage, Liu Jiaojiao saw that Liu Jun had been looking at the burden in her hand, neither opening nor speaking, her expression was stunned, so she pretended to be curious and asked, "Brother, the master said that the things inside belong to your mother, can you open it for me to see?" β
Only then did Liu Jun come back to his senses, let out a "hmm", and then carefully opened the baggage.
There were very few things inside, except for two pieces of bright red cloth that were no longer bright, a simple but delicate silver hairpin, and a silver bracelet carved with a pedicle flower.
Liu Jun's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and her hands began to tremble slightly.
"I remember these things, they are all my mother's dowry, but since the death of my mother, I was taken away by my mother, I thought I would never get it back, but I didn't expect ......" His voice was also trembling, as if he was thinking about things, and remembered his mother who had passed away a long time ago.
Liu Jiaojiao didn't know how to comfort him, so she had to cast a look for help to Lao Li Tou on the side.
Lao Li Tou has lived in the village for many years, so he naturally has seen Liu Jun's mother, thinking of the kind woman with a beautiful appearance, he couldn't help sighing, and said quietly: "Jun boy, your mother will not want to see you so sad for her." β
"Grandpa, I miss my mother...... I still miss my father......" Liu Jun finally didn't control his emotions, and two lines of tears burst out of his eyes.
Liu Jiaojiao suddenly panicked, it was the first time she saw her little brother shed tears, what a strong teenager, why did she cry?
She hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe Liu Jun's tears, with nervousness on her face, and said vigorously: "Brother, don't cry, although your father and mother are gone, don't you still have me?" I'll be with you always! Don't cry, okay? β
Seeing her little brother shed tears, she felt her whole heart tugging, and she was so uncomfortable.
Men's crying is often silent tears, not like a woman's cry is earth-shattering, Liu Jun is the same, he looked at Liu Jiaojiao with red eyes, and muttered: "Will you always be with me?" β
"That's right! I'll be with you all the time! β
"But you still have to marry one day."
"If you don't get married, what's wrong with being single? Why do you have to think about getting married? β
Lao Li Tou raised his hand angrily and patted Liu Jiaojiao, and reprimanded: "What are you talking about?" When a man gets married, a woman gets married, how can anyone live a lifetime? β
Liu Jiaojiao covered her head that was patted, pouted in protest, and discussed: "I can live with my brother for the rest of my life!" β
"Your brother will also marry a daughter-in-law in the future, even if he is willing to take you with him all the time, your future sister-in-law may not be willing to live with your sister-in-law all the time." Lao Li Tou said as he glanced at Liu Jun without a trace.
Sure enough, Liu Jun immediately answered: "I won't marry a delicate daughter-in-law who can't tolerate it!" β
Hearing this, Liu Jiaojiao immediately looked at Lao Li Tou with a smug face, "Master, did you hear that?" It's a big deal, my brother and I will live like this for the rest of our lives, and it's fine. β
What a fart! Lao Li scolded silently in his heart, but he couldn't bear to let his cheap grandson's wishful thinking fail, so he simply glanced at her, hugged his chest with both hands, and turned his head to ignore her.
Liu Jiaojiao thought that she had leveled her master, turned her head to look at Liu Jun, and said with a smile: "Brother, let's make up our minds, if you can't find a suitable sister-in-law in the future, let's live like this for the rest of our lives!" β
"Okay." Liu Jun promised softly, and then looked at his mother's relics again, and hid the calculation in his eyes by bowing his head for a moment.
He knew that Lao Li Tou had seen his calculations, but he was also helpless, Jiaojiao was still young, and it was impossible to find out his thoughts with her so early, it would scare her, so he could only use a little means. Anyway, put an end to her idea of finding other people for the first time, and as for the others, it will be a long time coming.
Seeing that her little brother's mood seemed to have recovered, Liu Jiaojiao deliberately found a topic and said, "Brother, can I take a look at these things?" β
Liu Jun handed over the burden without hesitation, if other people wanted to see him, he would definitely not let him, but Liu Jiaojiao didn't want to take a look, she could take it all.
Although his mother's relics are not easy to come by and are regarded as treasures to him, he can even hand over his own life to Liu Jiaojiao without hesitation, let alone these dead things?
Liu Jiaojiao didn't expect this, and wanted to come to see it out of curiosity on the one hand, and on the other hand, she wanted to divert Liu Jun's attention, at least let him not be sad all the time.
She had just picked up the bracelet, and before she could take a closer look, the voice of the system sounded in her head.
γDrip ...... Please note that this item comes from the Imperial Palace, and it is an imperial object. γ
Lord System, are you kidding me? Is this dynasty really so poor? Even the royal palace is made of silver?
[This is not ordinary silver, but a rare Mithril, the price is dozens of times that of gold, and there is a lot in this bracelet, the host can try to press and Dilian and the leaf at the same time, the flower and the heart will automatically bounce up, shake the flower and the heart three times, and you can find the mechanism. γ
Liu Jiaojiao still doesn't believe it, how can Liu Jun's mother's dowry have imperial things? If he really had such a powerful background, how could he marry into this tinkling poor mountain village, and still be abused and stayed by the Qin family for so many years?
Only those who have no confidence will choose to be patient, and those who have confidence are so likely to swallow their anger?
Although she was very suspicious in her heart, she felt that it was impossible for the system to lie about this kind of thing, so she held the bracelet with both hands instead, and the thumbs of both hands pressed and Dilian and the two leaves next to her at the same time, and after counting one, two, three silently in her heart, she pressed it at the same time.
And Di Lian's flower and heart really popped out, she was simply stunned, and hurriedly shook the flower and heart from side to side with her fingers three times, and the half-opened lotus flower slowly bloomed, revealing the gem that shimmered with brilliant brilliance inside.
me, Sapphire?
Liu Jiaojiao also has some wealth in modern times, and she still has a few pieces of jewelry in her hands, but it is the first time she has seen a sapphire with such a transparent color as in front of her.
This age is not as good as the modern polishing process, this color at a glance knows that it is a natural gemstone, although it is only the size of a skittle, but at a glance you know that it is worth a lot.
Liu Jun was also shocked, but before he could ask, Lao Li Tou lost his voice and said, "Lan Yu? And Tillian? This...... Could this be the unique bracelet that the first emperor gave to the eldest princess?! β
"Master, what did you just say? The bracelet that the first emperor gave to the eldest princess? Liu Jiaojiao was so surprised that her voice was distorted.
What's the situation? It's not a sapphire but a sapphire? Does Blue Jade still look like this? And how did you get involved with the first emperor and the eldest princess? So what is the origin of Liu Jun's mother who died early?
Just when the brother and sister both looked at Lao Li Tou, waiting for him to give an explanation, Lao Li Tou closed his eyes, sighed, and said in a deep voice: "This matter is very related, when you get to the town and find a safe place, I will tell you in detail." β
Fortunately, the two men who came to help were sitting in front of the groom, not in the carriage, and the walls of the carriage were relatively thick, so the sound insulation effect should be good, otherwise he would have hesitated to kill people.
This matter is too private and secret, and the fewer people who know about it, the better, because it is very likely that it will be destroyed!
