Jiang Zhen handed the stone to Xin Yao and said lightly: "Look at it again!" ”

Jiang Xinyao hated, it was a stone again, and it was still under the pillow, and she was not afraid of panicking. However, the situation was pressing, so I had to honestly take the stone and look at it repeatedly.

The moment Jiang Xinyao picked up the stone, her heart calmed down.

It is a fist-sized stone, with a grayish-white surface shell with spots, but delicate and smooth, and a dense structure. A piece of the corner was cut to reveal a line of green meat. It's slightly cool to the touch.

Jiang Zhen stared at Xin Yao without blinking, watching her turn the stone over and over again, thinking thoughtfully.

Jiang Xinyao took the stone, organized the language, and said: "Grandfather, according to the record in the book, this should be a piece of jadeite rough stone, looking at its texture, the particles are small, the structure is quite dense, it is a good stone." Look at the green meat that is missing a corner of it on the side, watery, and a little transparent, indicating that it contains emerald and has a good foundation, as for how much green it contains, I can't see it.

Jiang Zhen sat up excitedly in an instant, his face flushed: "Girl, can you understand, you didn't lie to your grandfather, are you sure you can really understand?" ”

Jiang Xinyao was also confused, what kind of song is your old man singing? Isn't this what you forced me to see, but his face was not obvious, and he said respectfully: "Grandfather, according to the analysis in that book, and then comparing it with the stones, there is only so much I can understand, why don't you find someone who knows how to take a look?" ”

Jiang Zhen straightened his eyes and asked, "Girl, the box of things that grandfather showed you that day, judging by your expression, you should be able to see something somewhat." Tell me, what do you see? ”

Jiang Xinyao is messy in the wind!

Mom, I can see that this is an antiquity, how can I tell which dynasty and which generation it belongs to. If I had this ability, I would have been a tomb robber in my last life.

She thought about it for a while, and had to say truthfully: "Grandfather, that box of treasures should be antiquities from the material, craftsmanship, and pattern, as for which dynasty it is, the granddaughter doesn't have the ability." I just don't feel like anything else. ”

Jiang Zhen fell down suddenly, his expression was sad, his eyes were closed, and only his slightly trembling hands revealed his emotions.

After a long time, Jiang Zhen spit out a sentence: "Go, grandfather is tired and wants to rest." ”

Xin Yao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, said a blessing, and left the bedroom. When the cold wind blew, I realized that my underwear was all wet.

Dongmei was waiting anxiously outside, and when she saw the young lady coming out, she quickly stepped forward to put on her cloak and helped the young lady back to the room. All the way, the young lady's face was pale, her little hands were cold, and she didn't want anything to happen to her heart.

Back in the bedroom, Dongmei hurriedly ordered the warbler to go back to the kitchen to cook ginger soup, and moved the brazier by herself and put it next to the young lady. Dongmei served the young lady to change out of her wet underwear, and stuffed the hand stove into the young lady's arms, and then turned around and poured a cup of hot tea.

Xin Yao drank a sip of hot tea before slowly warming up.

It's been almost seven years, and she has worked hard from a waste person lying down and waiting for death, step by step, step by step to the present, how many days and nights have been intervened, and how many years of cold and summer have passed. In this cold prison-like Jiang family, except for her mother and younger brother, only this cold-looking old man gave her warmth.

He never framed a woman's three obediences and four virtues on her. He let her breathe freely and swim like a fish in the water. If it weren't for this cold and stubborn old man, she wouldn't have lived so casually all these years.

She understood why her grandfather would rather stay in Qingyang Town than go back to Suzhou Mansion, not only because they were forced to do so, but also because they were the same kind of people with a heart that longed for the sky.

For five years, for five whole years, they depend on each other, keep each other warm, and rely on each other!

Jiang Xinyao put down the teacup and sighed softly!

Since returning from the capital, my grandfather's illness has not improved, and it has been worse every day since the winter. The things that can make my grandfather deeply shocked and sick are probably those two.

So, what will be the fate of her, cannon fodder, in the future is really unpredictable.

What exactly is my grandfather's strange behavior trying to say today? Jiang Xinyao was puzzled.

On the one hand, she thinks that in the past five years, her grandfather has established a deep relationship with her, and on the other hand, she thinks that if her father really does something unspeakable, how should she deal with herself.

Strangely, it had been several months since her grandfather had returned from the capital, and he had been as much pampered to her as usual, if not more.

Could it be that she was overthinking, could it be because of something else?

Jiang Xinyao's mind was spinning rapidly. Just now, my grandfather was surprised, sad, and excited, but there was no anger.

Right! He was not angry!

Those two stones don't seem to mean anything. What can a stone represent? It's a dead thing, you say it's valuable, it's a treasure, you say it's not valuable, it's a stone.

Grandfather has always been an indifferent person, what can make him excited, he should care, does he care about stones? No, it should be the value of the stone.

Who wrote from the capital last time?

If I remember correctly, it should be a letter from the shopkeeper of Cuiyuxuan, Cuiyuxuan, jade, jade......

Suddenly, Jiang Xinyao's aura suddenly appeared, and her mouth suddenly opened.

If so......

Jiang Xinyao quickly summoned Yinggui and asked her to send a message to Yan Ming, asking him to inquire about Jiang Quan's movements these days.

She has an intuition, Jiang Quan is not simple.

……

In the middle of the night, Jiang's house under the moonlight is quiet, calm and mysterious.

Xin Yao was dressed in a robe, stood under the blue screen window, tilted her head slightly, looked at the waning moon in the sky, and thought about her thoughts.

Grandfather has a few months at most, does she have to leave a way out for herself? Or send a letter to your mother?

But why is it all at this time, she is still reluctant from the bottom of her heart, reluctant to leave. She didn't even want to think about what would happen to her, she just wanted to be with him every day until the last moment.

Dongmei held her breath and stopped her voice, listening to the movement inside. I was relieved to hear that the room was gradually quiet.

Miss these days, often can't sleep at night, Dongmei knows that the master's illness is difficult to heal. In the past, if the young lady encountered something, she had a discussion with the two of them, since that day Yan Ming passed the word, the young lady went to the old man's room, Jiang Fu personally guarded the door, the two talked secretly for a long time, and after the young lady came back, she looked worried. I was afraid that the young lady had encountered something difficult and didn't want her and Mother Li to worry, so I thought hard for a long time.

Dongmei felt distressed for her own young lady for a long time, but finally had nothing to do, turned over, and slowly fell asleep.

……

The events of that day were never mentioned again, as if they had never happened.

Jiang Xinyao still takes care of Mr. Jiang's food, clothing, decoction and medicine every day, and she is more and more dedicated. She often stayed in her grandfather's yard for a day, laughing with the old man, but when she returned to the yard, she was often alone in a daze, and even lost interest in the food made by Yinggui.

Mother Li, Dongmei sees it in her eyes and is anxious in her heart. The two loyal servants had no choice but to sneak together and sigh for a long time.

……

On this winter solstice, the weather is gloomy and cold!

There is a custom of eating glutinous rice balls on the winter solstice in the south, and Xin Yao made some bean paste filling and sesame filling for the elderly because her grandfather liked sweets. Suddenly, I heard the maid report that the old man suddenly fainted when he got out of bed, and the rice balls in his hand were scattered on the ground, Jiang Xinyao was stunned!

Xin Yao looked at her unconscious grandfather, and tears fell from her eyes.

This once tall, handsome, fair-skinned man was now thin and yellow, his face was covered with age spots, and he lay lifeless in bed.

Several doctors shook their heads after seeing it, only saying that the lamp was exhausted and could not rejuvenate, and they needed to prepare early.

Jiang Fu wiped a handful of tears and said in a dumb voice: "Miss, do you want to notify Suzhou Mansion?" In case ......"

Xin Yao held her grandfather's dry hand, shook her head and said, "Butler Fu, wait until your grandfather wakes up." ”

Jiang Fu took a step forward and said softly, "Miss, there are some things that need to be prepared early." Miss has to call the shots in this matter. ”

When Xin Yao heard this, tears poured out uncontrollably, and she sobbed: "Steward Fu, prepare first." ”

Jiang Fu red-eyed and left in a hurry.

Half an hour later, Jiang Zhen woke up slowly, looked at Xin Yao with red and swollen eyes, and whispered, "What time is it?" ”

Jiang Xinyao replied with tears in her eyes, and then said, "Grandfather, do you want to inform the people of Suzhou Mansion?" Grandmother's ......"

Jiang Zhen shook his head weakly, and said categorically: "No need, just wait for me to breathe before I go to the funeral." You go out first, I have something to say to Jiang Quan, and you will come back later. ”

Xin Yao glanced at Jiang Quan, who was silently guarding the side, helped her grandfather tuck the quilt, and turned around and walked to the courtyard.

……

On the night of the winter solstice, it was too dark and there was not a trace of starlight in the dark night.

Dongmei looked at the silent young lady under the osmanthus tree worriedly, thought about it and thought about it, but finally didn't make a sound, only stepped forward to put on a robe for her, touched the young lady's cold hand, and stood silently behind her.

The old man's kindness to the young lady over the years is really sincere, and she and Mother Li both see it in their eyes. This old man is critically ill, how can Miss not cry sadly?

Half an hour, the door opened, Jiang Quan came out of it with red eyes, walked up to Xin Yao, and said that the master invited her in.

Dongmei suddenly felt her heart pounding, and she held the young lady's hand hard.

Jiang Xinyao smiled at her and strode inside.

Her grandfather, quietly leaning on the head of the bed, was waiting for her to come.

Jiang Xinyao's nose was sour, and she hurriedly stepped forward and shouted, "Grandfather." ”

Jiang Zhen opened his eyes with difficulty and motioned for her to sit: "Girl, I have been looking forward to this day for a long time." You don't have to be afraid, everyone has this day, sooner or later! ”

Xin Yao couldn't cry and said, "Grandfather, I can't bear you!" Are you willing to leave me alone? ”

Jiang Zhen wanted to raise his hand to wipe his granddaughter's tears, but found that he no longer had the strength, and sighed dejectedly: "Five years ago, our ancestors and grandchildren returned here like lost dogs. Grandfather turned out to be a person with a dead heart, and with you by his side, this heart is alive again! Thank you, kid! ”

Xin Yao buried her head in the old man's big hand, only to feel that the tears in her eyes could not flow endlessly.

Jiang Zhen looked at the granddaughter in front of him calmly, with a complicated expression.

"Now my grandfather begs you three things, would you like to help me do it?"
