After the refugees poured into the city, Nie Junheng and Ye Lingxiao became busy day and night.

This busyness has been busy for seven or eight days.

The refugee camp was finally completed, all the refugees were properly settled, and the relief food from the imperial court was distributed in time.

The streets returned to their former calm.

Counting the time, Qi Weiyang's birthday is approaching.

Every year on her birthday, Ling Xue will carefully prepare a birthday gift for her, and this year is no exception.

Early in the morning, Ling Xue summoned Yuzhu and planned to go out of the mansion to the Hundred Treasure Pavilion to choose a birthday gift for Qi Weiyang.

In the middle of summer, it is rare to be cloudy, and the scorching sun is surrounded by clouds, and half of the heat is collected.

Ling Xue and Yuzhu sat in the carriage and went straight to the Hundred Treasure Pavilion through the wide street.

Yuzhu said: "We haven't been out of the house for a long time, and the slaves and maids are about to suffocate." Let's have a good look at it today and go back. ”

Ling Xue said: "Today we came out to choose a birthday gift for Weiyang, and we will go home when we find a suitable one." ”

Yuzhu pouted and said, "Didn't the prince say that the refugees have been properly settled?" The slave maid also wants to go to the pear orchard to listen to the opera. ”

Ling Xue is not interested in opera.

She knew that Nie Junheng would return home early today, and she didn't want to stay outside for too long.

The carriage soon arrived at the Hundred Treasure Pavilion.

The pavilion master of the Hundred Treasure Pavilion has a discerning eye, and he only glanced at the carriage and knew that the people in the carriage were either rich or noble.

As soon as Ling Xue got out of the carriage, the shopkeeper of the Hundred Treasure Pavilion greeted her with a smile.

"Girl, please."

Ling Xue bowed slightly, and followed the shopkeeper into the store.

The jewels in the Hundred Treasures Pavilion are full of rare and exotic treasures, which are dizzying.

The shopkeeper saw that the femininity in front of her was extraordinary, and she must not be able to look at ordinary things, so she asked, "I wonder what kind of object the girl is looking for?" ”

Ling Xue said: "I want to pick a birthday gift for my friend, I wonder if you have a new baby?" ”

The shopkeeper smiled: "Naturally, there are, I only bought a batch of rare treasures from the Western Regions yesterday, and the girl can see if she likes them." ”

With that, the shopkeeper turned around and went into the house, and after a while took a few rare items and placed them on the countertop for her to choose from.

Ling Xue glanced at them one by one, and was suddenly attracted by an object.

The object was as green as jade, transparent as crystal, and a firefly flowed slowly inside, as if it were alive.

The two complement each other beautifully.

Ling Xue couldn't help but gently hold it into it, and suddenly felt that it was as warm as jade, and its brilliance flowed.

She couldn't put it down, turned around and asked the shopkeeper, "What is this?" ”

The shopkeeper said: "Girl, good eye, this is the jade glass cup of the Western Regions, and the fireflies flowing in it are made of the unique fire insects of the Western Regions

The meaning of the gift is excellent. ”

Ling Xue's heart moved, and she decided to ask for this one immediately.

The shopkeeper hurriedly wrapped it carefully and said, "Does the girl have anything else to need?" I also have a piece of jade pendant here, the color is excellent, the girl may wish to take a look. ”

After the words fell, the shopkeeper took out a piece of jade pendant from the box in a blink of an eye, and said: "This jade pendant is a treasure among the treasures, just this piece of rare jade, or more than ten years ago, a piece of it was obtained by mistake, if the girl likes it, you can bid to take it away." ”

Ling Xue took the jade pendant handed over by the shopkeeper and held it in her hand to look at it carefully.

Rao had seen a lot of valuable treasures, but the condition was so good, Ling Xue had seen it for the first time in his life.

The jade pendant is smooth and verdant, like a mountain stream and a clear spring. It is carved with delicate patterns, which are lifelike, as if they are about to come out.

Ling Xue looked at it and saw that the pattern carved on the jade pendant was a snow wolf. The wolf's head is high, and his eyes are bright, revealing a momentum that looks at the world.

The carving is exquisite, meticulous, and the hair on the snow wolf's body is lifelike, and the roots are elegant, like clouds and mist, adding a bit of mystery and majesty.

The wolf's claws are as sharp as knives, stepping on auspicious clouds, revealing a majestic and domineering aura, as if ready to soar above the nine heavens at any time.

This jade Mo said that it is rare to see even in the palace, even in this world.

Ling Xue praised from the bottom of her heart: "It is indeed a rare piece of good jade. ”

The shopkeeper said: "Jade meets a fateful person, the girl is very eye-catching, the girl is also a knowledgeable person, if you like it, a thousand taels of silver, the girl will take it away." ”

"A thousand taels?" Yuzhu on the side widened his eyes.

"Shopkeeper, why don't you go and grab it, just such a piece of jade that is not good-looking, how is it worth a thousand taels of silver?"

The shopkeeper's face showed embarrassment, and said: "That's why I said below, if the jade meets a destined person, if the girl can't look down on it, she won't be reluctant to do it." ”

"It's not a secret, the origin of this jade is unknown, I heard that only people from the royal family of the Northern Wolf Country can wear it, and they don't dare to sell it easily."

Yuzhu said: "Even if it is a jade of unknown origin, the shopkeeper is too lacking in virtue, and he doesn't ask about the origin, so he sells it to guests at will. ”

Ling Xue glanced at Yuzhu and scolded, "Yuzhu, don't talk nonsense. ”

Yuzhu said: "No, this jade pendant, you really like it?" ”

The shopkeeper also saw Ling Xue's hesitation, and took the initiative to explain: "Girl, don't think too much, jade is indeed a good jade, the reason why I say that the origin of this jade is unknown is because this jade pendant was pawned by a drunkard back then." ”

"Looking down at the drunkard's ragged clothes and poverty, he really doesn't look like a noble son from a big family, and this jade must not be his thing, maybe he picked it up from somewhere."

"However, don't worry, the things that have entered my Hundred Treasure Pavilion belong to my Hundred Treasure Pavilion, and if others want it, they will have to spend money to buy it. If the girl doesn't like it, she will leave it to the next destined person. ”

Ling Xue lowered her eyes and looked at the jade pendant in her hand, and somehow, she unconsciously remembered Nie Junheng in her mind.

This jade pendant is very compatible with his temperament.

"Yuzhu, give money."

Ling Xue no longer hesitated, and immediately asked the shopkeeper to wrap up the jade pendant.

Yuzhu didn't dare to say anything, so she honestly took out the silver ticket and handed it to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper happily took the silver ticket and handed over the packaged jade pendant to Ling Xue.

Seeing that Ling Xue carefully took the jade pendant into her arms, Yuzhu couldn't help but ask, "This jade pendant wasn't given to Miss Weiyang, right?" ”

Ling Xue said: "Of course not. ”

"Who is that going to be for? The Prince? ”

Ling Xue smiled and changed the subject: "Okay, let's go home." ”

As soon as the two of them turned around and walked to the door, they suddenly saw a group of people on the street driving a carriage towards the west of the city.

Behind the wagon were several heavy bags of grain.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! ”

The guards on horseback frantically whipped the horse's back.

On the streets, the dust was flying, and the sound of horses' hooves was loud and deafening.

The people stood on either side, and no one dared to stand in their way.

Ling Xue stood at the door, the curtain of the carriage floating, and she inadvertently saw the person sitting in the carriage.

It was Xu Ruoyao!

Ling Xue seemed to think of something, turned around and asked the shopkeeper, "That carriage is loaded with disaster relief food?" ”

The shopkeeper walked out, glanced out, and said, "That's right, a refugee camp has been built in the west of the city, and hundreds of refugees have been placed in it. ”

Ling Xue said again: "Do you know the girl sitting in the carriage?" ”

He said: "Naturally, I know, that girl is the daughter of the Xu Mansion, the daughter of the old Xu Ge, during this time, she will go to the refugee camp every day to give free porridge to the people." ”

Ling Xue was surprised.

Xu Ruoyao has always been a person who has never touched the spring water with her fingers, why did she suddenly become so kind?

She asked the shopkeeper, "Does she go to soup kitchen every day?" ”

The shopkeeper said: "Naturally, I go every day, Miss Xu is kind-hearted, and the people who are suffering are grateful to her." ”

Ling Xue always felt relieved.

If Xu Ruoyao really wanted to accumulate virtue and do good deeds, she would not stop her.

But this matter implicates Ye Lingxiao and Nie Junheng, she can't tolerate the slightest mistake!

Ling Xue lifted her feet and got into the carriage.

Yuzhu said: "County Lord, do you want to go back to the house now!" ”

"To the west of the city!"
