On the eighth day of the fifth lunar month, Song Xiaochi still did not get any news from the lockdown, but recognized Qujing Jiang as his father-in-law.

"Sister Chi, no, I'll call me big sister directly in the future, so it looks closer."

Qu Wenshu took Song Xiaochi's arm and said excitedly.

"Father-in-law, sister-in-law, brother Hui!" Song Xiaochi shouted, as a stepfather and mother, Qu Jing and Jiang want to give gifts.

Qu Jing gave a purse, fluttering, Song Xiaochi guessed that it was a silver ticket, and it was not easy to open, but I hope not to give too much, otherwise she will really feel a little uneasy about receiving this gift.

Jiang gave a mahogany box, yes, the things given by the husband and wife were not visible on the spot, and Song Xiaochi had to accept the gift, they did this, Song Xiaochi was really afraid that the gift was too heavy.

As the eldest sister, Song Xiaochi naturally wants to give gifts to her younger siblings, she gave Qu Wenshu a set of head noodles, including a pair of colorful bead earrings, although the beads are small, but there are five colors in the seven colors, and they are the middle and upper grades of the colorful beads.

The so-called colorful beads, not all are colorful, most of the colorful and below, the six colors are very few, the colorful is a rare treasure, extremely rare.

Even as Miss Houfu, Qu Wenshu does not have a few pieces of colorful bead jewelry, and she is naturally overjoyed when she sees this pair of earrings.

After the joy, he seemed a little embarrassed to accept it, "Sister, this ...... It's too precious. ”

"Sister Chi, take it quickly, it didn't cost any money."

She did not spend money on these two colorful beads, but since the Xunlian Mountains left, Uncle Ni and Aunt Ni gave them to Xie Yan to thank him for saving Ni Qingyun's life, and sent a total of seven, four of which were colorful and three were four-colored.

In addition to the colorful beads, some seven-colored shells were also sent, because the seven-colored shells are not as precious as the seven-colored beads, and the output is more than the seven-colored beads, and Uncle Ni sent more.

After all, Uncle Ni and his ancestors have lived on the seaside rich in seven-colored shellfish and seven-colored pearls for generations, although they were finally forced to leave their hometown and fall into the grass because of these two treasures, but the family has some treasures, although Xie Yan refused in every possible way, but for Uncle Ni and his wife, no amount of treasures can compare to Ni Qingyun's life.

Originally, Song Xiaochi was not going to use these colorful beads and seven-colored shells, after all, they could not only be used as jewelry and clothing, but also because they could strengthen the attack and defense of the sword and the suit.

In this way, Song Xiaochi originally wanted to use these things to prepare a set of weapons and battle clothes for Xie Yan.

It's just that Xie Yan refused, saying that he didn't need it, and only let her use it herself, whether it was jewelry or making beautiful clothes.

It's just that Song Xiaochi thinks that she is just an apprentice in the medical hall now, if she wears jewelry made of colorful beads, or wears a colorful dress made of seven-colored shellfish, she will not only get the envious eyes of others, but trouble, and it is a big trouble.

However, Qu Wenshu is Miss Houfu, and her father is the commander of Maoyuan Mansion who holds real power, Qu Jing, and she wears colorful bead jewelry to attract envious eyes, and nothing else.

"Deceiving people, where did you get it if you didn't buy it with money? Could it be that someone else gave a gift to his second cousin? The second cousin is just a mere nine-grade captain, who gave him such a valuable gift? My dad hasn't delivered it yet! ”

Qu Wenshu said, and glanced at Xie Yan, but Xie Yan didn't look at her, but kept looking at Song Xiaochi, Qu Wenshu simply looked at Xie Yan directly, saying that she didn't look down on Xie Yan's Jiupin Sesame Official.

"It's not." Song Xiaochi said: "It was a thank you gift from the cottage when I was in the Xunlian Mountains before."

Song Xiaochi told the source of the colorful stone.

Qu Wenshu said: "Since they have such valuable things, why do they have to fall into the grass, if they sell it, it will be enough for a village for ten years."

"If these things are known, where can ordinary villagers keep them, they must let the people of the county government directly accept them, maybe because of these things, their tasks will increase in the next year."

Qu Jing said, it seems that Qu Jing knows the living conditions of the people facing the sea.

After returning from Qufu, Xie Yan went to the guard again, and Song Xiaochi knew that he had been searching for the missing seven-colored beads and seven-colored shells recently.

Colorful beads and seven-colored shells are part of Daning's taxes, and the imperial court has quantitative and qualitative requirements for seven-colored beads and seven-colored shells every year.

However, since two years ago, every year Maoyuan Mansion has cried poverty to the imperial court, saying that the production of colorful beads and seven-colored shells has decreased sharply, and it is impossible to hand over enough colorful beads and seven-colored shells.

However, Maoyuan Mansion will not do too much, the insufficient part will be made up in other ways, or silver money or grain or cloth, it seems that the court did not suffer, but you must know that colorful beads and seven-colored shells are often not estimated in silver money.

This matter made Xie Yan feel wrong, of course, it was not only Xie Yan who felt wrong, but the people in the court had long felt that it was wrong, but some people pretended to be confused, some people were happy to see it, and some people wanted to figure out the trickiness in it, among which Xie Yan was the last kind of person.

He came to Maoyuan Mansion, it was a trip that had been set since he was in Yudu Mansion, but it was not so obvious at first, he did not come to Maoyuan Mansion immediately when he left Yudu, but went around it, but he didn't expect this round, he went around Liuhyun Zhenjun and Xuanniao, and then attracted this fate between Song Xiaochi, thus pushing his life and future to an unimaginable upper realm.

In fact, what made him most fortunate was that the cause and effect that Liuhyun Zhenjun said he owed was exactly what he was prepared to do, and if the two were opposite, he really didn't know how to choose.

"You are simply overly worried, since it is cause and effect, even if you don't have the information and guidance of your predecessors, in the dark, you will repay this cause and effect."

Song Xiaochi remembered that he said this to Xie Yan at the time, Xie Yan was such a smart person, and when he heard her words, he really felt a sense of empowerment.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another two months have passed.

Song Xiaochi still hasn't received a letter from the lockdown, but the colleague Xie Yan said about who went back to the lockdown to visit his sick mother has returned, his mother is critically ill, and he has been serving at home until he saw his mother off and finished the funeral.

Hearing the news of his return, Xie Yan immediately looked for it, but after knowing some news of the closure from his mouth, Xie Yan did not come back immediately, after thinking about it, he still wrote a letter, went to Qu Jing and asked him to help send it to King Qian's mansion and hand it over to King Qian's son, Xie Li.
