Chapter 132: Strange Jade Pendant
Lu Lingxue took the jade pendant handed by Jiang Jianbai, she rubbed this smooth and flawless jade with her fingers, and the memories sealed in her heart gradually surfaced in her heart.
Four years ago, when the master was still alive, she had seen the master in a daze at this jade pendant, and she vaguely remembered that the master at that time was lost and sad, as if this exquisite jade had brought regret to the master.
What made Lu Lingxue wonder was why the master wanted to put the jade here in Jiang Jianbai, instead of putting it in the Vermilion Bird Pavilion and waiting for someone to pick it up?
Jiang Jianbai said that the master only handed over this piece of jade to him for safekeeping on the winter day three years ago, and the master also passed away on the winter day three years ago, and she did not know whether this piece of jade had anything to do with the master's death.
Back then, the master committed suicide by taking poison, and the suicide note she left only had the words "sorry" on it, who is the person the master is sorry for? Don't...... Is it the owner of this jade pendant?
Lu Lingxue's eyebrows tightened, and she didn't take her eyes off the jade pendant in her hand for a long time, Dugu Shaobai looked at her and whispered in her ear: "Lingxue? ”
Hearing Dugu Shaobai's voice, Lu Lingxue came back to her senses, and she held the jade pendant in the palm of her hand.
Dugu Shaobai said again: "Let's go out first, let the Jiang City Lord have a good rest." ”
Lu Lingxue nodded, and just as the two were about to leave the bedroom, Jiang Jianbai stopped Dugu Shaobai, "Lord Dugu!" ”
Dugu Shaobai paused, he turned his head suspiciously, and looked at Jiang Jianbai puzzled, not knowing why he stopped himself.
"City Lord Jiang, what's the matter?"
Jiang Jianbai looked at Lu Lingxue and said embarrassedly: "Miss Lu, please go to the guest room to rest first, I want to talk to Lord Dugu alone." ”
"Okay." Lu Lingxue looked at Dugu Shaobai, and left the bedroom alone.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......" Jiang Jianbai coughed a few more times, and Dugu Shaobai poured him a cup of tea and sent it to him.
"Lord Dugu, thank you." Jiang Jianbai took the tea, and the warm and sweet tea entered his throat, making his itchy throat feel a lot more comfortable.
"City Lord Jiang, may I ask what is the important matter of staying here?" Dugu Shaobai thought to himself, could it be that Jiang Jianbai wanted to talk to him about Su Shanao and Leng Fengjue?
"Lord Dugu, please sit down first, let's talk slowly." Jiang Jianbai made a gesture for Dugu Shaobai to sit down first.
Dugu Shaobai was not polite, and sat directly on the chair next to Jiang Jianbai's bed.
Jiang Jianbai moved his body and approached Dugu Shaobai, his expression was a little unnatural, as if he had something in his heart, but he was struggling with whether to say it or not.
"That...... Lord Dugu......" Jiang Jianbai sat up straight and cleared his throat.
Dugu Shaobai frowned slightly, this Jiang Jianbai wanted to speak and stopped, I don't know what he wants to say to himself.
"City Lord Jiang, if you have something on your mind, it doesn't hurt to say it."
Jiang Jianbai smiled awkwardly and said, "That'...... The old minister said bluntly, uh......"
Jiang Jianbai spoke hesitantly, and after a while he continued to ask: "Dare to ask Lord Dugu if he has a marriage match?" ”
Hearing this, Dugu Shaobai shook his head, "Not for the time being." ”
He is the water protector of the Protector of the Country Villa, and he has a task on weekdays, I am afraid that he will not get married so soon, and this lifelong event is probably far away from him.
"That's good...... That's good...... "Jiang Jianbai is glad that Dugu Shaobai has no marriage match, so wouldn't Zhitao have a chance?"
"Does Lord Dugu have a sweetheart?"
When he asked like this, Dugu Shaobai was confused, what happened to Jiang Jianbai? He doesn't look like a person who likes to snoop on other people's privacy, could it be that he wants to be a matchmaker for himself?
"Nope."
Dugu Shaobai shook his head again, he once had a sweetheart, but his love for her had long since disappeared.
"Oh...... Then the old minister will rest assured! Jiang Jianbai patted his chest and showed a very satisfied smile, it seems that Dugu Shaobai still has a chance to be his son-in-law.
Jiang Jianbai no longer beat around the bush and said straight to the point: "In the eyes of the old minister, Lord Dugu Yushu is in the wind, strong in martial arts, and is a manly man with iron bones, and the old minister admires Lord Dugu very much, coincidentally, Zhitao has reached the age of nineteen, and the age difference between Lord Dugu is only three years old. ”
The old minister thought to himself...... I want to draw a red line for Lord Dugu and Zhitao. ”
Jiang Jianbai had an embarrassed smile on his face, it was the first time he was a matchmaker for someone, this person was none other than his daughter and Lord Dugu.
Jiang Jianbai looked at Dugu Shaobai's handsome and gentle face, his face was unwavering, and he didn't seem to be angry, which made Jiang Jianbai see a glimmer of hope again, just when he wanted to praise his daughter, Dugu Shaobai spoke.
"I'm sorry, Lord Jiang, I am the water protector of the Protector of the Villa, walking the rivers and lakes all day long, my life will be in danger at any time, I am afraid I will not be able to give Miss Jiang a stable life, Ling Ai is a good girl, she deserves a better man than me."
Dugu Shaobai rejected Jiang Jianbai without hesitation, what he said was true, he couldn't bet on the happiness of other people's girls, not to mention, he had no love for Jiang Zhitao.
"This ......" Jiang Jianbai frowned and thought for a moment, what Dugu Shaobai said was extremely true, he was a person who protected the country and the villa, and he could be in danger at any time when he went out on a mission.
Jiang Jianbai is a father, he just wants his daughter to live a stable life, he doesn't want his daughter to live in fear because she is worried about her husband all day long.
Jiang Jianbai sighed regretfully and said, "It's the old minister who is reckless, and I hope Lord Dugu is not strange." ”
Dugu Shaobai hurriedly said: "How can I blame the city lord of Jiang in Xia, the city lord is a good intention, and he is very grateful to think about lifelong events for Zaixia." ”
He has no father and no mother, he is an orphan, in his heart, although he has regarded Huangfu Shenwu as his father, but even Huangfu Shenwu has never discussed this lifelong event with him.
Jiang Jianbai and him are just colleagues, but they can think about his happiness, which makes Dugu Shaobai grateful.
Dugu Shaobai understands righteousness and is polite, which makes Jiang Jianbai appreciate him even more.
"Lord Dugu is so deeply aware of righteousness at a young age, the old man is deeply admired, if Lord Dugu does not dislike it, he can treat the old man as a friend in the future, and come to our Jiangfu to walk around."
Dugu Shaobai smiled: "I can't ask for it." ”
"Dad, the medicine is ready." Jiang Zhitao walked in with the black medicine, watching her father and Dugu Shaobai talking happily, she was also happy for her father.
In the past, my father was worried about the errands of the court, and he hadn't smiled like this for a long time.
Dugu Shaobai arched his hand to Jiang Jianbai and said, "City Lord Jiang, after drinking the medicine, I will rest for a night, and I will say goodbye first." ”
Jiang Jianbai nodded: "Okay, Dugu is busy." ”
After Dugu Shaobai left, Jiang Jianbai looked at his daughter who was sitting on the edge of the bed and blew medicine for himself, and asked, "Zhitao, what do you think of Lord Dugu?" ”
Jiang Zhitao was asked by Jiang Jianbai like this, she raised her head inexplicably, thought about it, and said: "Lord Dugu Yushu is in the wind, tall and mighty, and has a good character, he is a very good man, like a ......"
Jiang Zhitao bit her lip, her eyes turned and she found a word that could appropriately describe Dugu Shaobai.
"Like an amiable brother!"
"Brother?" Jiang Jianbai raised his eyebrows and asked again, "Zhitao, what ...... Do you like Lord Dugu? ”
"Huh?" Jiang Jianbai asked like this, Jiang Zhitao was stunned, she was a girl who lived in the boudoir, and her father actually asked her so bluntly whether she liked Dugu Shaobai, which made her embarrassed and shy, and even her fair little face was unconsciously dyed with a faint flush.
Although she regarded Dugu Shaobai as her brother, she was actually shy when her father asked her like this.
Thinking of Dugu Shaobai's tall and upright posture and handsome and extraordinary face, Jiang Zhitao's heartbeat was a little faster, Dugu Shaobai was young and promising, and his martial arts were strong, and he was a person worthy of trust.
Jiang Zhitao lowered her head shyly, she pursed her lips, and the smile on her little face couldn't be hidden, which made Jiang Jianbai see it, and she also knew her daughter's intentions.
"Zhitao, do you like Lord Dugu?"
Jiang Zhitao bit her lip shyly, the flush on her cheeks was stained to the roots of her ears, she buried her head in silence, and just nodded shallowly.
After a long while, she said, "I have a crush on Lord Dugu, but I don't know what his heart is,"
Jiang Jianbai knew his daughter's intentions, and his heart began to waver again.
Dugu Shaobai is a good man, if Zhitao misses him, it is a pity, if Dugu Shaobai no longer does water protectors, then he can rest assured that Zhitao will be handed over to Dugu Shaobai?
Jiang Jianbai thought in his heart, he still had to find a way to let Dugu Shaobai and Jiang Zhitao get along more......
……
Lu Lingxue stood in front of the door of the Jiangfu guest room and looked at the exquisite jade in her hand, this piece of jade was smooth and was really a first-class jade.
Suddenly, the dark clouds in the sky were dispersed by the wind, and the sunlight was sprinkled, and the exquisite jade shone in the sun.
With a flash of light, Lu Lingxue closed her eyes, she didn't expect this piece of jade to reflect the sun.
When she opened her eyes again, she was shocked by the pattern on the jade pendant.
Under the sun, the word "Cheng" faintly appeared on this jade pendant.
Lu Lingxue raised her hand and pointed the jade pendant in her hand to the sun, the word "Cheng" on it became more and more obvious, and when she put it down, the word "Cheng" loomed again.
At this moment, the clouds in the sky obscured the sunlight again, and the surrounding area was cloudy, and the words on the jade pendant gradually disappeared, as if they had never appeared.
Lu Lingxue raised the jade pendant to the sky again, there was no sunlight at the moment, the jade pendant was crystal clear, and no words appeared.
Lu Lingxue was puzzled, it was the first time she had seen such a strange jade pendant, and she even felt that this jade pendant did not belong to the Heavenly Empire.
"Ling Xue." Dugu Shaobai's voice sounded from her side.
Lu Lingxue turned around and immediately told him what she had found.
"Dugu, come and take a look at this jade pendant!"
Lu Lingxue's speed of speech was so fast, as if she had discovered something new.
At this time, the sun shone on the exquisite jade pendant again, and the word "inheritance" was reflected.
