Chapter 25: The Jade Ring

"The cousin has become the companion of the fourth princess?" Hu Shi was stunned: "Is the Queen Mother referring to it?" ”

Xiao Dong nodded.

Hu's hand paused, but he didn't say anything. She put on her shoes for Xiao Dong, carried her to the ground and stood firmly, and ordered someone to pack up for Shen Fang and prepare to enter the palace.

The heavy box given to her by the Empress Dowager Shengci had already been placed next to the bed, Xiao Dong saw that there was no one else in the room, beckoned Hu Shi to approach, and pushed the box in front of her: "Mother Hu, you can take this for me." ”

The palace people sent by the Empress Dowager Shengci sent this box, a few forgings, and a few boxes of palace points together, which was not conspicuous. Hu Shi just regarded it as an ordinary thing, opened the lid of the box with a smile, and the floating light in the box was reflected on her face like a mist, Hu Shi was shocked, came back to his senses, and buckled the lid with a "snap".

Xiao Dong was thinking, it turned out that this is the meaning of the word jewelry, and sure enough, there is pearl and treasure, soft and soft, a bit like the halo on the edge of the moon.

Hu Shi lowered his voice and asked, "County Lord, where did these things come from?" ”

"The Queen Mother gave it." Xiao Dong said: "Said to leave it to me as a dowry." Xiao Dong opened the box again, rummaged through it, found a two-inch jade horse, and compared it in his hand: "Mother Hu, string this together, I want to give it to my brother." She looked at the other things in the box, and then turned out a hairpin, held it diligently, and said, "This is for Daddy." ”

Hu Shi didn't come back to his senses, looked at the hairpin and only said: "This is a crested hairpin, the prince can't wear it." ”

"Huh?" Xiao Dong looked left and right, and he didn't see that there was a crested head on it. Of course, she didn't blame herself for her lack of eyesight, but only that this phoenix carving was too abstract.

Hu Shi froze and whispered: "These things are extremely valuable, don't give them away at will, and don't let others know." ”

Xiao Dong nodded: "The Queen Mother also said so, but my father and brother are not outsiders." There was a pause: "Mother Hu, you are not either." She took out a bracelet from the box, golden, inlaid with brilliant gemstones, and a red gem in the middle was as big as a dragon's eye, round and flawless, and radiant: "Mother Hu, this is for you." ”

Hu Shi only felt that the gem was very bright, so bright that her eyes were sour and hot, and she was about to be unable to open them.

"These things are subject to etiquette regulations, this, Mother Hu is not blessed to wear them in this life, Xiaodong keeps them for herself." Hu put the bracelet into the box, closed the lid, and hugged Xiaodong to his lap: "Put this thing away, since the Queen Mother sent it without a record, don't enter the file of our house." I'll take it away for you first, and when you're older, I'll take care of it myself, don't throw it wantonly, don't let down the heart of the Empress Dowager Shengci. ”

That's right......

The Empress Dowager Sheng Ci hid and gave these treasures to her, and she couldn't say anything about them as soon as she changed hands and dispersed.

Xiao Dong rummaged through the box again, and finally found a jade ring.

This thing is so beautiful that she can't put it down, but whether this is worn on her hand or on her body, Xiao Dong is not sure.

Or Hu said: "This is very good, you can string jade rings, and you can surround it at home, and the prince usually likes to be comfortable." ”

Hu Shi still hasn't said anything, since he is in the family circle, he doesn't go outside to attract people's eyes. She didn't know too much about the value of this jade ring, but it should be more than enough to buy the Zhuangzi where Xiaodong lived when he didn't come to the capital.

Xiao Dong looked at the jade ring at the light, okay, that's it, it's easy to string the belt anyway.

After noon, the king came back, and Xiao Dong deliberately ran to rub his lunch. Usually, there is only one table to eat at night in King An's mansion, and most of the breakfast and lunch are not together.

King An eats simply, stewed tofu, cabbage soup, and a plate of small pumpkin rolls. As soon as Xiao Dong came, this person ate a little more than a meal, and the two of them seemed to be a little insufficient. However, the people in the kitchen knew that the county lord had come to the prince at noon and had already brought her food.

Xiao Dong was so interrupted, and King An ate more than usual. When two people eat together, it is better than eating alone.

Xiao Dong wiped his mouth after eating and took out the jade ring belt that had been braided.

"Dad, this is for you."

King An took it with a smile and sighed softly.

"Who gave this to you?"

Xiao Dong climbed on his leg, bit his ear and said, "The Queen Mother gave it today." ”

King An held the jade ring silently for a while, Xiao Dong didn't know what he was thinking, in short, it was either related to this jade ring, or it was related to the Empress Dowager Shengci.

"Since it was given to you, you should take it well."

Another one said to collect it well.

Xiao Dong didn't think it should be like this. It's made for use. For example, this jade ring, if you want to put it for fun, there is no need to carve it into a ring, you can carve a decoration or something, since it is carved into a ring, then the ring should be used to the fullest.

"To Daddy."

Even if it's not coquettish, the child's voice is soft and glutinous, and it sounds like coquettishness.

Wang An hugged her and smiled, and took a big sip on her apple face.

"Okay, my daughter is also sensible, she is out, and she knows filial piety to her father."

With a smile, King An untied the original belt and replaced the jade ring belt.

"Did you leave anything for your brother?"

Xiao Dong nodded, and took out the little jade horse from his arms, and there was also a belt on it, which was a deep blue-black. When Xiao Dong originally helped Hu pick out the strap, he picked a light color, light yellow, light blue, and even picked a red, red and pink one, but Hu abandoned it, but picked such a color that looked like the old man's use.

But after it was played, it was surprisingly suitable, lining the jade horse more and more exquisitely, and it could be suppressed, very solemn and generous. However, Zhao Lu didn't return home at noon, so this jade horse had to wait for the evening to give it to him.

King An touched her head and said, "Very good." ”

Shen Fang became the companion of the four princesses, I don't know if King An knows?

Xiao Dong thought, he must know.

But looking at my father's appearance, he didn't take this matter to heart.

She didn't mention it, but King An mentioned it: "Your cousin is going to enter the palace to be the companion of the fourth princess, do you know?" ”

Xiao Dong nodded.

"If you're bored, will you take another cousin from the Yao family to be your companion?"

Well, this cousin has one on the left and one on the right, and there are so many.

Last name: Yao ...... That's supposed to be a cousin, right? Shen Fang and Shen Qiang are nominally her cousins, but in fact, she was not born to Princess Shen, her mother's surname is Yao, and she has no blood relationship with the Shen family.

King An sat on her lap and taught her to read the Three Character Sutra sentence by sentence.

"At the beginning of man, nature is good. Sex is similar, Xi is far away......"

The voice of the adult is mellow and clear, and the voice of the child is soft and childish. The sun shone on the window paper, shining in the snow.
