Chapter 5: Adventure

"Dabao, how can our family have heirlooms? I haven't heard the lord and lady talk about it......"

"So, there's no heirloom or anything more valuable?"

Now Song Xinyi is in trouble, where does the money come from, do you sell things from WeChat? They can't understand this novelty, they can't sell it at a good price, and they don't know the price, so this first money has to come from the existing world.

"If it's something of value...... There is one," Zhao Shishi said thoughtfully.

"What?"

"What are you going to do with this thing, Dabao?" Zhao Shishi looked at Song Xinyi vigilantly.

"Eh, I'll just ask" Song Xinyi was about to make a haha and fool her around, but unfortunately, Zhao Shishi had a little bit of understanding of her after waking up in such a short period of time.

"This thing is Hu Tian's engagement to the lord and his wife, it is a jade pendant, at that time, the old man and lady looked very valuable, so she collected it, Dabao, you don't want to fight it, right?"

Song Xinyi didn't care how vigilant Zhao Shishi was, this eye lit up when she heard the valuable jade pendant.

It's easy to do with money! Sell the jade pendant, have a coil and travel expenses, and you can also bury your adoptive mother, and by the way, you can escape from this marriage! Oh my God! That's a good thing, isn't it?

"Shishi, you see, we're going to leave this place anyway...... Besides, our father and mother have already passed away, and it doesn't have a special impact if we sell this jade pendant, and if we sell the jade pendant, our mother can also have money to settle down, right? Isn't that right, think about it~" Song Xinyi and Zhao Shishi analyzed the pros and cons.

Song Xinyi's soul came through, and she really didn't know that the dowry had a very important position in the ancient engagement ceremony. Although in the countryside, Song Xinyao and Hu Tian are not so rich, but this jade pendant is indeed a very important and valuable thing for Hu Tian himself, and the gift hired at the time of engagement in this dynasty is also called Hongding, which is also called bride price among the people. Wealthy families often take geese, sheep, and wine as dowry gifts, and the dowry of rich and noble families is extremely luxurious, and ordinary people give dowry gifts according to their own financial resources. The folk dowry is relatively simple, and there are also money as gifts. And the examples of selling the dowry and running away from marriage are really rare, and even serious, you can go to the virtuous gentry in the township to convict.

But Zhao Shishi is willing to take risks for Song Xinyao's future happiness, but the most important reason is that Zhao Shishi is suspicious and worried about Song Xinyao after waking up. Besides, I was worried about the funeral expenses of the old lady before, and it was not that I didn't have the idea of this jade pendant, but now that the owner has proposed it, then it is logical to solve this burial problem, and today Dabao's hand in making vegetable dew is even more amazing to her, and she is not so worried about her future livelihood.

"Okay." Zhao Shishi was delicate, but after figuring it out, she agreed. So he turned around and went into the side room, and found a wooden box that was worn out but not stained with dust from under the old lady's bed, sighed, and went out of the side room with the box in his arms.

Song Xinyi opened the box, only to see a piece of delicately carved jade pendant lying inside, this jade pendant is only half the size of a palm, touch it with your hand, the whole body is warm and moist, there is a carving of double dragons circling for the sun, and the sun is a little prominent, with a little red paint, gently touching it, you will find that the sun is not red paint on the color, but the red of the ancient jade itself, which should be extremely rare.

There is also a string of colored ribbons lying next to the jade pendant, although the material is very ordinary, but the workmanship is very meticulous, and it looks like it is not at all with this jade pendant.

Seeing the doubts in Song Xinyi's eyes, Zhao Shishi spoke: "This is what the old lady personally knitted for you when she was alive." ”

Song Xinyi suddenly felt some unfamiliar sourness in her heart. She knew that this was an emotion that belonged to the original owner, but she was also very emotional.

"Why do you have a relationship? The beautiful jade is adorned. ”

"Luo Ying" is a colorful ribbon tied around the waist when a woman was married in ancient times to show that the person belongs, so there is "a knot in the Book of Songs, ninety of its rituals." describes that when her daughter got married, her mother was reluctant to tie her up.

The original owner's adoptive parents were still very young because of physical reasons, and when they picked up Song Xinyao, Song Xinyao was still very young, and the two didn't plan to have another child in order to treat this child well. The two of them treat these two as if they were their own daughters, Zhao Shishi is slightly worse, there is more affection between them, but they are indeed real family affection for Song Xinyao.

Seeing this string of Luo Ying, Song Xinyi's eyes seemed to appear as her adoptive mother lying on the bed, leaning on the quilt behind her, weaving Luo Ying for herself under the rickety kerosene lamp, imagining what Dabao would look like when she got married.

It's a pity, after all, I can't see it.

Song Xinyi sighed, took Luo Ying out of the box, cherished it in her sleeve, and said to Zhao Shishi: "You can take this jade pendant and sell it."

When Zhao Shishi walked to the pawn shop with the box, it was already nearly dusk, and there were a few pale red clouds left in the sky, fluttering, and there was no fixed place to live.

"Man," Zhao Shishi pushed open the door and went in, and said to the young man sitting at the counter, but the young man still lowered his head as if he hadn't heard.

"Dude." This time, Zhao Shishi's voice was louder, but unfortunately this young man still kept his original movements.

"Tell me about you, man! How are you doing this? Zhao Shishi's voice was full of anger, and her voice was raised several degrees. At this time, a strong male voice came from behind the curtain, "What's the matter?" Isn't this a question? What's the matter with you? ”

As he spoke, he opened the curtain and walked out, his figure was tall, his eyebrows were swordsman, and his decency was incompatible with this shop, Zhao Shishi swept it casually, a little admiration, and lowered his head again, but the pawnshop guy was in trouble, this new boss was seen to be lazy on the first day, what should I do in the future, but this master doesn't care what the young man thinks, seeing Zhao Shishi, there was a trace of surprise in his eyes, this is not ...... Is the second daughter of the Song family? Although at home, Zhao Shishi thought that she was taking care of Dabao and didn't listen to anyone, but outside, the Song family and his wife still gave Zhao Shishi enough dignity and thought that their second daughter.

Zhao Shishi saw that the master came out, so she handed over the box in her hand directly, "Boss, can you show me how much it is worth?" ”

The moment he opened the box, the master's eyes were filled with deep surprise, followed by a thick smile, but then he sorted out his emotions and raised his head, "The jade pendant is worth 30 taels at most." ”

Zhao Shishi didn't hesitate, "Okay." ”

After taking the money, he hurriedly turned around and left.

Looking at her back as she left in a hurry, a smile appeared in the eyes of the master, and he only listened to the young man hesitantly asking, "Boss Hu, are we at a loss?" ”

"Ha, no loss." After saying that, he turned around and walked out the door.

That's right, this person is Hu Tian, the titular Song Xinyao's future father-in-law.
