Miss Xiao, you are polite, we should do to be a guest and give you a red envelope. I knew that you were such a kind-hearted good boy, I should have given you more, and also supported your kind act of supporting thirty country children to study. When Mrs. Chen heard this, she said sincerely.

Xiao Qiongzhi smiled and shook her head: "No, old lady, if you are willing to agree to sell this house to me with the old lady, recognize me as your great-granddaughter, and stay here all the time, live with me, and witness with your own eyes how I support thirty children who are successful in their studies, which is the greatest support for me!" ”

"Miss Xiao, do you mean that as long as we are willing to recognize you as our great-granddaughter, after you buy this house, you are still willing to let us stay here and live with you?" Old Lady Chen heard the point of her words, and stood up excitedly.

"Yes, this courtyard will always be for you to live in, not only that, but my family and I will also treat the old lady and the old lady as a real family, and will provide for you to retire to the end."

"In the future, what kind of food and clothing we have, as long as you don't dislike it, I will give you a copy of it."

"Considering that you are all old and need to be served, I am willing to provide for a girl and a servant to serve you. However, I can't afford to support more girls and girls for the time being, so I'll have to talk about it later. ”

"If you don't believe me, I'm willing to write these promises into the paperwork of buying a house, and if you can't do it in the future, you can buy this house back at half price at any time." Xiao Qiongzhi said very seriously.

"No, no, you can support thirty children to study for nothing, how can you not believe your words in front of our two old guys." Old Lady Chen immediately waved her hand.

Immediately afterwards, he sat back in his seat, straightened up, and said to Xiao Qiongzhi with a smile: "Zhi'er, come and recognize your old lady and old lady!" ”

This means that he is already willing to sell the house to himself!

Xiao Qiongzhi was overjoyed.

She quickly took the tea that a clever girl beside the old lady sent at the right time, handed it to Mrs. Chen, and bowed to him: "My great-granddaughter Zhi'er, please drink tea with the old lady!" ”

"In the future, Zhi'er will treat the old lady and the old lady as a real family, and send you off for the elderly, and do your filial piety."

"Wait, this isn't-" Seeing this, the housekeeper of the Chen Mansion suddenly remembered something, trying to remind Xiao Qiongzhi.

Old Lady Chen glared at him fiercely and stopped him from continuing.

Then, Old Lady Chen turned her head, took the tea handed over by Xiao Qiongzhi with a smile, slowly took three sips, and said with a laugh: "Okay! Good! Good! I, as a pro-old lady, will treat Zhi'er as my own great-granddaughter in the future, and I will not treat you badly. ”

"Thank you, old lady." Xiao Qiongzhi only straightened up at this time.

She turned around, took the clever girl, sent another cup of tea, handed it to Mrs. Chen, and bowed to her: "My great-granddaughter, please drink tea!" ”

"Good! Good! Good! I, as a pro-old lady, will treat Zhi'er as my own great-granddaughter in the future, and I will not treat you badly. Mrs. Chen also smiled and took the tea handed over by Xiao Qiongzhi, and slowly drank three sips before repeating what Mrs. Chen said.

The difference is that after she finished speaking, she took Xiao Qiongzhi's hand, took Xiao Qiongzhi to her bedroom, and instructed a girl beside her: "Quickly bring the small silver box in my five-drawer cabinet!" ”

"Yes-"

"Wait!"

Xiao Qiongzhi heard that the old lady was planning to give herself something again.

She hurriedly stopped the girl and said to Mrs. Chen with a smile: "Mrs. Chen, you and Mrs. Chen have already given me red envelopes before, so you don't need to give me anything else." ”

"Then how to do it, when the elders recognize their relatives, the elders must give the juniors a sufficient amount of gifts, this is the rule, if I don't abide by this rule, I can't be regarded as recognizing you as my own great-granddaughter." The old lady didn't follow, and after speaking, she turned her head to the girl next to her.

The girl immediately did as she had just been told.

This surprised Xiao Qiongzhi.

She doesn't know much about the specific rules for recognizing relatives, after all, in the world in her memory, she has never recognized her relatives, nor has she seriously understood the rules in them.

However, she has seen the scene of confession on TV.

In almost all confession dramas, juniors kneel to their elders to recognize their relatives.

Just now, because she had never knelt for anyone, and she was really not used to kneeling, she deliberately pretended to be confused because she was young, and when she confessed to the old lady and the old lady, she just bowed deeply and did not kneel.

It is estimated that it was because he noticed this that the housekeeper of the Chen Mansion suddenly said "wait" to her.

She was still glad at the time, fortunately, Mrs. Chen immediately stopped Steward Chen and continued, otherwise, she could only kneel honestly.

Now, seeing that the old lady was so cautious, she regretted a little that she didn't follow the rules just now, and honestly knelt down to the old lady and the old lady.

"Zhi'er, look, what is in this box, what do you like?" After the girl brought the small silver box, Mrs. Chen immediately opened it and handed it to Xiao Qiongzhi to see.

There are not many things in the small silver box, only five pieces.

They are a jewel pendant, an egg-sized cat's eye, a pigeon's egg-sized southern pearl, and a pair of gold-inlaid jade bracelets.

Among them, the gemstone pendant, which is inlaid with gemstones, is the size of a thumb, and the brilliance is dazzling.

Even in broad daylight like now, the cat's eye can reveal a light green fluorescence when it is slightly blocked by hand.

Nanzhu is purple, oval, and is a rare deep purple, with a crystal clear color.

Inlaid gold jade bracelet, the gold inlaid on the top is not to say, the key is the jade below, not only jade jade, or just like the spring grass that has just sprouted, so tender green emerald color, fresh, bright, pleasing to the eye, people can not help but like it when they see it.

These should be treasures at the bottom of the box for the old lady.

After all, if these things are taken out and sold, their value should be far above this house.

However, since the old lady is fully capable of taking out something worth 1,500 taels of silver to fund her grandson to buy a new house in Nancheng, why not do it?

Xiao Qiongzhi was a little puzzled in her heart, but she didn't plan to ask the old lady for an answer.

She only glanced at five things, and then refused without hesitation: "Old lady, I understand your kindness." It's just that these things are too expensive for me to want. ”

The old lady immediately pursed her lips and said unhappily: "Zhi'er, don't forget, I am your old lady now, I don't leave these things to a junior like you, can I still take them to the soil?" ”

"Besides, you're dressed too plainly. Since Huihuijun is your relative, and the prince of Southern Liang and the prince of Eastern Liang are your friends, you will inevitably have a great future in the future, and when you go out, you still have to have one or two decent jewelry to wear to be decent. ”

"Otherwise, don't talk about returning to the monarch and the two princes, I will secretly feel faceless, even I, an old lady, will worry that others will think that I have treated you badly and feel faceless!"
