The Ji family is indeed rich, and in recent years, the military funds donated to the camp in the northern suburbs alone have not been hundreds of thousands, but always tens of thousands of taels.

At that time, Wei Yao and Wei Rong's marriage was decided together, and the two brides also married in front and back, and the difference was only one month.

But their origins are very different.

At that time, some people in Yezhou broke their mouths, saying that Ji Xiuxiu, the third young lady of the Suguo Mansion, was bought with money, and this word spread all over the city, and even Lang Huan could hear it.

At that time, Xie and Wei's had not yet agreed to get married, and a daughter who was familiar with Xie Zhiyun laughed at Ji Xiuxiu, saying that she had become a phoenix from a golden chicken, and her tone was full of jealousy.

Xie Zhiyun also helped Ji Xiuxiu speak at that time.

She remembered that at that time, she told others that Wei's ability to have today is not only brilliant in battle, in addition to bloody fighting, but also because of his gratitude and nostalgia.

The Yu family and the Wei family are colleagues, and they have a lot of help on the battlefield and fight side by side together, which is true, but the real money of the Ji family, how can it not be regarded as an old friendship?

In these years, the world is difficult, the people have no money in their hands, and every household can be considered happy.

Wei was dominant, North Vietnam did not pay a single penny of military salaries, and in the most difficult time of the year, Wei's whole family was starving, and the rations were not as good as ordinary soldiers.

Later, the situation slowly improved, people's livelihood recovered, rice and grain were re-cultivated, and Ji's business career ended wandering north and south and returned to his hometown in Yezhou.

This time he came back, and brought tens of thousands of taels of military salaries to the Wei family.

Not to mention the charcoal in the snow, but it is also the icing on the cake.

In troubled times, people who can make money and return to their hometown are not mortals.

Xie Zhiyun had never met the patriarch of the Ji clan, that is, Ji Xiuxiu's father, but she knew that he must have extraordinary courage.

If it is said that the Ji family is the name of the third young lady of the Wei family bought with money, it is not true, it should be said that the old relationship between the Wei and Ji families is difficult to eliminate, and the new covenant has been completed, and they are ready to face the future together.

That's right.

However, the latter words only rolled in Xie Zhiyun's heart, and he did not say a word to outsiders.

It wasn't until two months later that Wei's wedding letter was sent to Xie's that Xie Zhijun suddenly realized that Wei Cang's ambition was not small.

At this time, a golden light flashed in front of him, Xie Zhiyun withdrew his senses from the complicated memories, and saw Ji Xiuxiu who was covered in pearls at a glance.

She sighed in her heart, but she still had a warm smile on her face.

Xindao, this Ji clan patriarch is so powerful, why didn't Ji Xiuxiu learn half a point?

Ji Xiuxiu is wearing a water-red embroidered gold and silver peony brocade gown at the moment, a silver-red hundred-fold skirt inside, wearing an eight-treasure jewel around her neck, and a pair of huge ruby and gold hairpins on her head, and there are only two words on her body - wealth.

She actually has a sweet appearance, a slightly round face, a round nose, especially those peach blossom eyes, raw water and spirits, she is a very cute little beauty.

But her dress has pressed her appearance from seven points to five points, or even lower.

As soon as she walked out, she didn't have to open her mouth to hear a burst of rings.

"I've seen the eldest sister-in-law, the second sister-in-law, and the eldest sister."

Ji Xiuxiu's voice was like a yellow bird, with obvious pride on her face.

There was a smile between her eyebrows, and she knew that she was happy from the bottom of her heart.

"I was very happy to hear that my brother-in-law was going to invite us to see the treasure, but I don't know what kind of treasure it is?"

Xie Zhiyun walked into Qiu Shixuan, sat down directly on the main seat, and then said to the brothers and sisters in the room: "Sit down and talk." ”

Xie Daqianjin's anti-guest-oriented ability really made Ji Xiuxiu laugh.

She sat next to Xie Zhiyun and sneered: "The eldest sister-in-law is so magnificent." ”

Xie Zhiyun looked at the jewels in this room lightly, and said, "The third brother-in-law is so pompous. ”

Wei Ningan came earlier, and Fang Cai was already sitting there silently, and when he heard the two of them fighting, his eyes rolled, and he immediately counted it in his heart.

"The eldest sister-in-law's family has a hundred-year-old clan, and the antique jade in the family must be no less than that in the third sister-in-law's family, right?" Wei Ningan's voice was crisp, "Looking at these ornaments of Qiu Shixuan, I'm afraid it's just the tip of the iceberg, and the third sister-in-law's house must be full of gold and jade." ”

This power to sow discord is not at all like Cui Ji.

It's a bit like Wei Ying.

Xie Zhiyun was too lazy to worry about the child, ignored her, and only watched Ji Xiuxiu.

"Third brother-in-law, what is the treasure? Please come out and shine for us. ”

Ji Xiuxiu thought of the treasure she had just arrived, and she couldn't help but be proud.

She held her head high and clapped her hands at Yuanbao, and Yuanbao bowed and retreated.

After a while, Yuan Bao and Zhao Cai pushed a square table of Huanghuali into the hall together, and put an ornament about the size of a Ruyi spring bottle on the table, covered with red velvet, and nothing could be seen.

The two little maids pushed the square table to the middle of the hall and said triumphantly: "Some time ago, my father went to Daqi to sell our Yingzhou specialty light cloud yarn, and was invited to a banquet by a friend, and happened to see someone selling this thing, so he bought it back." ”

"My father knew that I liked these treasures the most, so I sent them when I went home," Ji Xiuxiu's tone paused slightly, and then said, "I thought that it hadn't been lively for a long time, so I invited my relatives to come and see it." ”

To put it bluntly, I just want to show off with them.

Xie Zhiyun smiled softly: "It's still the third brother's wife who is considerate, and she doesn't forget us if she has good things." ”

Ji Xiuxiu smiled humbly, but her eyebrows and eyes were proud.

She nodded to Yuanbao, and Yuanbao glanced at Zhaocai, and the two of them pinched the corner of the red velvet together.

The next moment, the red cloth flew high like a sunset, revealing the dazzling treasures inside.

The hall was silent for a moment.

Even the sound of breathing stopped, Xie Zhiyun only felt a flower in front of him, and immediately saw his unclear eyebrows on the treasure.

It was an eight-treasure glass mirror.

If it is an ordinary glass mirror, it will not make people so surprised, this mirror is inlaid with dozens of jewels of various colors, rubies, sapphires, emeralds, pearls, jade, tourmalines, etc., they are like stars in the sky, hovering around the glass mirror, forming a beautiful galaxy map.

The base of the mirror is a holy lotus flower, made of pure gold, and the flowers stretch and sway, which happens to hold the glass mirror in the center.

Ji Xiuxiu saw that everyone was speechless in surprise, and her heart was so beautiful that she was bubbling.

When everyone finally recovered from the shock, Ji Xiuxiu cleared her throat and said, "Yuanbao, turn around." ”

So Xie Zhiyun saw Yuan Bao and Zhaocai pushing the same square table together, and turned around with the glass mirror on it.

The next moment, the crowd was shocked again.

The position of the square table was just between the main seat and the accompanying seat, and Xie Zhiyun and Ji Xiuxiu could only see the front, and the rest could only see the back, and now when they turned around, everyone could see the whole picture of this treasure.

Behind the eight-treasure glass mirror, there is a gold and silver engraved phoenix tail picture.

The phoenix on it is carved vividly, as if it is about to spread its wings and fly high.
