Jiang Zhen entered Beijing and handed over the house to Jiang Xinyao to take care of. Xin Yao's piece by piece, pile by pile, thought carefully and thoughtfully.

Jiang Fu couldn't help but sigh, in the end, it was the master who taught him by hand, but it was different. This is a ten-year-old child, this is clearly a little fox. Even the grandmother is nothing more than that! Jiang Fu immediately decided to follow in the footsteps of the fourth lady and not let himself get lost.

Jiang Xinyao waited for Jiang Fu to leave before picking up the account book.

Dongmei quietly changed a cup of hot tea, and when she saw that the young lady was looking carefully, she gently retreated and called Yinggui to guard by the side.

From that day on, the old mansion of the Jiang family closed the door, from the master to the subordinate, and lived in a simple place.

Xin Yao saw that everything was in order in the house, and she returned to her lazy temperament, and her life passed unhurriedly. Only a few people who were waiting close knew that the fourth lady was worried about Master Jiang and often couldn't sleep at night.

Xin Yao's worries are not unreasonable, she understands Master Jiang's temperament very well, if it is not an important matter, she will not act in such a hurry. It's just that she has limited knowledge, and she doesn't want to go deeper, so she can only spend her days idly except for the blessing of the Bodhisattva.

Fortunately, during the Dragon Boat Festival, Jiang Fu only sent a housekeeper to ask for peace, and Jiang Fu accepted the festival and sent people away in a few words, saving a lot of things.

……

Master Jiang has been gone for more than five months, and there has been no news. Seeing that summer is going to autumn, and it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival in half a month, Jiang Xinyao is secretly a little anxious.

In previous years, the Mid-Autumn Festival, Uncle Jiang Hongjian would bring a festival gift to the old house to say goodbye. If Master Jiang was still recuperating in Zhuangzi at this time, it was estimated that the uncle would definitely go to visit the patient, and this visit would not be able to hide it.

Xin Yao saw that Steward Fu's face was not very good-looking in the past two days, and her whole expression was constipated, and she sighed in her heart, afraid that even he didn't have news of his master. If...... It's really not good, and I can only say to the outside world that the old man has visited friends. Other than that, there's really no other way.

The plan is not changing fast. On this day, Jiang Xinyao was just about to fall asleep, when she heard Dongmei hurriedly report that the master was back, Xinyao hurriedly put on a dress and ran to the front yard.

As soon as Xin Yao entered the courtyard, she saw Jiang Fu wiping her tears and directing the little maid to place the luggage, her heart sank, and she hurriedly asked where the old man was.

Jiang Fu turned his back and secretly wiped away his tears, and led Xin Yao to the bedroom. I saw Jiang Zhen half-leaning on the bed, his face was pale, his eyes were deep, and he looked like he had been sick for a long time.

Jiang Quan was waiting for the decoction next to him.

Xin Yao's nose was sour, two lines of hot tears flowed down, and she choked up and cried: "Grandfather." ”

Jiang Zhen saw that his granddaughter was thinly dressed and came with her hair scattered, and hurriedly said, "Why are you here?" Quickly put on some clothes, if you freeze, you will get sick. Before he finished speaking, he coughed.

Xin Yao stepped forward to hold his hand, her tentacles were cold, and she said distressedly: "What's wrong with my grandfather, what kind of illness did he have, how did he lose weight like this, did you ask a doctor?" ”

Jiang Zhen patted her hand and signaled her to feel at ease: "It's just that the road is infected with a cold, just take a few medicines, and it won't get in the way." Jiang Quan, took out the box for the fourth lady and carried it to the young lady's room. ”

Jiang Quan came out in response.

Xin Yao said indignantly: "It's all sick like this, and you still care about these idle things!" When the illness is cured, it is not too late to talk about it. ”

Master Jiang smiled and said that she was tired on the road, so let her rest first and come back tomorrow to say goodbye.

Xin Yao saw that her grandfather's face was really bad, so she had to go back.

Master Jiang waited for his granddaughter to go away, but he didn't have the slightest energy, and closed his eyes tiredly.

Early in the morning of the second day, Xin Yao took the red bean porridge and walnut porridge cooked by Yinggui in the morning, and asked the old man to say goodbye. As soon as he arrived at the courtyard, he was stopped by Jiang Quan, who only said that Master Jiang had not woken up yet, and asked Miss to come back tomorrow.

Xin Yao glanced at Jiang Quan deeply and walked away. For three days in a row, Xin Yao didn't see her grandfather.

On the fourth day, Jiang Xinyao didn't say a word, ignored Jiang Quan's obstruction, and went straight inside.

Jiang Quan was about to stretch out his hand, but found that the young lady's eyes, which were always smiling slightly, looked at him coldly, and there was a bit of sharpness in his eyes. He subconsciously slowly withdrew his hand and leaned sideways to give way.

Jiang Zhenzheng was leaning on a soft pillow to drink medicine, and when he saw his granddaughter come in, he sighed: "I knew that Jiang Quan would stop you for three days at most." ”

Xin Yao looked at her grandfather, who she hadn't seen for a few days, and was secretly surprised, but said with a smile on her face: "Why did grandfather want Jiang Quan to stop me?" Could it be that you are afraid to see me too? ”

Jiang Zhen smiled, raised his hand, pointed at Xin Yao and said, "You girl will be angry with me as soon as she comes, I'm afraid of being sick." ”

Xin Yao looked at the originally slender big hands, so thin that only bones remained, and her heart ached.

She stepped forward and took Master Jiang's hand, and said softly: "Grandfather has lost weight again in the past two days!" What kind of illness did she have, and what were you afraid of showing her granddaughter? ”

Jiang Zhendao: "When people are old, they can't stand the cold if they suffer a little. You're weak, so you should be avoided. I didn't let you come, but it was also for your own good. ”

Xin Yao smiled bitterly: "Grandfather just looked down on me like this, my body has already been well, and from tomorrow, I will come every day." ”

Jiang Zhen looked like she wouldn't leave if she didn't agree, and he couldn't do anything about her, so he finally nodded.

In the days to come, Jiang Xinyao laughed in front of Jiang Zhen every day, thinking about what delicious things were delicious in her previous life, and let Yinggui do it one by one for her grandfather to try.

A few days later, Jiang Zhen's health improved slightly, and he was able to get out of bed and walk, so Jiang Xinyao took his grandfather's hand twice a day and accompanied him for a walk in the yard.

……

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Jiang Hongjian sent a gift courtesy.

Jiang Zhen asked Jiang Fu to accept the gifts, saying that he was not in good health and it was inconvenient to see each other, for fear of contracting illness.

Jiang Hongjian was also accustomed to his father's style, and returned after a few pleasantries.

That night, the ancestors and grandchildren sacrificed to their ancestors, set up a table of banquets in the courtyard, tasted food under the moon, and drank wine. Dongmei and Jiang Fu waited on the side.

The moonlight was excellent this night, and the breeze blew through the fragrance of osmanthus flowers. Dongmei poured osmanthus stuff for the two.

Xin Yao smiled and raised her glass: "Grandfather, today's Mid-Autumn Festival, taste the osmanthus wine I brewed." ”

Jiang Zhen looked good today, looked at the moonlight in the courtyard, drank it all, and said: "The twilight clouds are full of cold, and the silver man turns the jade plate silently." This night is not good in this life, where will the bright moon look next year. ”

Xin Yao's hand trembling slightly, and said with a smile: "Grandfather, this poem is not good, it is sad, and it will be punished." Li Bai's poems are good, look up at the bright moon, bow your head and think of your hometown, you see, it is suitable for all ages. ”

Jiang Zhen said helplessly: "You skin monkey, really let me say what is good about you?" I chant and chant every year, and I only have this one, and I have to cheat good things from me. Jiang Fu, bring me the gold-inlaid box at my bedside and pick out a gift for Miss. ”

Xin Yao said angrily: "Grandfather didn't drink too much, why did he bring all the housekeeping treasures?" Don't be distressed after tonight. ”

Jiang Zhen nodded her little head with his hand and said dotingly: "Girl, my grandfather has given you a lot of treasures, have you ever seen me feel distressed?" ”

Xin Yaojiao said angrily: "Grandfather has to talk to the point, Mingyue will give me a treasure at this time next year." In the future, I will send it every year, and I will collect it every year. Ten or eight years from now, your granddaughter won't have enough treasures to count. ”

Jiang Zhen's heart was relieved, and his eyes were slightly sour. He knows his body, but I'm afraid that there will be no more bright moon, next year.

This little granddaughter understands everything, doesn't say anything, just quietly does what she wants to do, bit by bit, melts his heart, which was dead five years ago.

Jiang Fu put the box on the table, Jiang Zhen gently opened it, pushed it in front of Xin Yao, and let her choose for herself.

Jiang Xinyao glanced at it, gasped, and sighed: "Grandfather, if you change me, you can't even give away these things." ”

Jiang Zhen was proud in his heart, but said calmly on his face: "It's just some mundane things, it's not worth anything, you can choose one." It's a good day for you, too. ”

Xin Yao smiled faintly, looked at these treasures carefully, and was slightly amazed in her heart, but her eyes were attracted by a stone.

She picked up the stone, weighed it, and looked at it with a light, thinking to herself. If she hadn't looked away, this should have been a rough piece of Hetian seed material, wrapped in yellow skin, judging from the feel and slightly exposed flesh color, it was a good piece of material.

Xin Yao's grandfather in his previous life was a master of the jade factory, and he grew up touching stones since he was a child.

Jiang Zhen looked at his granddaughter in a daze with a stone in surprise, and said, "You girl, what are you doing with a stone?" There's a lot of good stuff here, so I'm going to change it. ”

Jiang Xinyao picked up the stone again, looked at it again, and said with a smile: "Grandfather, I'll choose this." ”

Jiang Zhen was suspicious: "What's so good about this stone?" Tell me about it. ”

Xin Yao said in her heart that it was better not to say it explicitly, so she smiled and said: "Grandfather, I feel familiar, maybe it is related to me!" Your treasures are too valuable. This stone is slightly cool, and it is comfortable to touch, so you will reward me. ”

In fact, Xin Yao's purpose is very simple, she just wants to take it back and take a closer look, which is different from what she estimated. People who play with jade have such a habit, and when they estimate a good thing, they want to see it for themselves, and whether they are right or not.

Jiang Zhen stared straight at his granddaughter for a while, and only said not to regret it.

Jiang Xinyao said in her heart, a gentleman has wealth and a good way to take it, I can't afford those treasures of yours.

She smiled generously: "Grandfather, everything is a fate." I, ah, just look at the stones. Thank you for the Mid-Autumn Festival gift to me. Let's raise a glass to invite Mingyue, and the shadow will become five people. It's not early, the night breeze is a little cool, you are not in good health, let's get together early and leave early!. ”

Jiang Zhen looked at the wine in the cup, laughed, and drank it all.

Xin Yao sent her grandfather back to the bedroom, and then slowly walked towards her courtyard.

If she was not mistaken, the box was full of fine ancient jade, and it should have been some years, which was not something that she could have as a child. She has read the allusion that the husband is not guilty, and she has read the allusion that Huaibi is guilty. This is the main reason why she chose only one stone. She still wants to keep this life and see if she can go back.

……

As soon as the Mid-Autumn Festival passed, the weather gradually became colder. Master Jiang's cough was as heavy as a day, and a brazier was set up in the house early, and silver frost charcoal was burned.

Since the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xin Yao always felt that her grandfather's eyes seemed to fall on her, but she was open-minded and didn't think so.

She still manages the house every day, in fact, there is nothing to manage, just twenty or thirty people, back and forth on these things, spending half an hour every day, more than enough.

The only thing that worried her was her grandfather's body. She is a person who has lived for two lifetimes, and she has seen more than others, and when the old man's lamp ran out, Xin Yao guessed eight or nine points in her heart.

It seems that during this trip to the capital, the old man must have experienced something before he fell down all of a sudden. Otherwise, with his body, he would have lived at least a few years.

She didn't dare to ask, and she couldn't ask. She's not really a ten-year-old girl, she's curious about everything, and she asks everything. Curious about what was hidden behind it, she didn't know. Xin Yao just wants to make him feel at ease and happy as much as possible during his grandfather's lifetime, and has no regrets.

In the past few days, the sky has become more and more cold and damp, and the rain is also dripping, and it has been raining endlessly for more than ten days, which makes people look forward to the appearance of the sun.

In the afternoon of this day, Xin Yao was helping Master Jiang make a set of clothes. He was getting thinner and thinner, and many of his clothes were so big that they seemed to be hanging on his body, empty, and people couldn't tell how sad they were. Yan Ming came over to pass the word, saying that the master invited the young lady to go.

Jiang Xinyao handed the cloak to Dongmei, stood outside for a while, went to the cold, and then entered the bedroom.

As soon as she entered the door, a strong medicinal fragrance came to her nose, and Xin Yao smelled it, it was the familiar smell.

Jiang Zhen pointed to the red sandalwood round stool in front of the bed and motioned for her to sit down.

Xin Yao smiled: "Grandfather is looking for me, is there something wrong?" ”

Jiang Zhen glanced at Jiang Fu, Jiang Fu understood, gently closed the door, turned around and went out, and guarded it in person.

Dongmei outside felt a little uneasy when she saw Butler Fu guarding the door in person. She was about to step forward to talk, but when she saw Steward Fu looking at her coldly, she was so frightened that she shrank her feet, and her heart became more and more uneasy.

Xin Yao looked at her grandfather's expression, which seemed to be different from the past, and stopped talking.

Jiang Zhen looked at the little granddaughter in front of him, whose muscles were like condensed fat and his eyes were like stars, hesitated, and said weakly: "Girl, grandfather learns from you, and he doesn't go around the corner." I called you here today to ask you, can you see the doorway of the stone? ”

Jiang Xinyao's heart was shocked. Stone, which stone? It wasn't the rough stone, she threw it aside after playing with it for two days, and never took it to heart. What does grandfather mean when he suddenly asks this?

Xin Yao didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly replied: "What is the way of that stone, it's just fun." ”

Jiang Zhen didn't speak, only looked at her with a calm face, and his body involuntarily brought out a bit of awe-inspiring momentum.

Jiang Xinyao is fighting heaven and man at the moment. Is it playing stupid or telling the truth? If you pretend to be stupid, it is a little difficult to look at the situation today; If you tell the truth, how do you say it, how do you say it, and what step does it take? said that he ate this bowl of rice in his last life. God, don't talk about it, who believes it!

Jiang Xinyao's intestines were blue at this time, and her brain turned extremely fast. Bantian Fang said resignedly: "Grandfather, I can understand that stone." I have seen in a travelogue that this stone is produced in Hotan, Xinjiang, and is the raw stone of seed material. ”

Jiang Zhen asked, "That book is available now?" Take it for me to see. ”

Xin Yao's eyes flickered, so she had to bite the bullet and say, "I don't know where to put it, I have read a lot of this kind of miscellaneous books, why don't I go back and help you find it?" ”

Jiang Zhen said: "Hmph, why didn't you say it earlier?" ”

Xin Yao said aggrievedly: "I think you have always disliked those weird books, and I am afraid that you will talk about me." I took the stone back to see it, and it looked the same as the one in the book? After playing for a few days, I threw it aside. After speaking, there were tears in his eyes, but he couldn't fall again.

Jiang Xinyao secretly spit on herself in her heart. This acting acting, this lie, I feel empty-hearted, if I really want to ask, don't you have to goof?

Alas, what kind of stone to play with, I knew that I would have learned to act.

Jiang Zhen looked at her fixedly and didn't speak for a long time.

Xin Yao's hand hidden in her sleeve was clenched into a fist, but because she didn't know what her opponent's intentions were, she couldn't punch, so she only pretended to be sincere and looked at the old man on the bed!

The two looked at each other for a long time, and finally Jiang Zhen skimmed his face first. Seeing this, Xin Yao breathed a sigh of relief.

Before this breath was finished, Jiang Zhen took out another stone from under the pillow and handed it to Jiang Xinyao.
