Chapter 44: Jewelry

Chi Tao breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, listening to Chi Xing's tone, she didn't hate Shao Cheng, and even had a little affection. She put her mind at ease and smiled lightly and happily: "Okay, let's not talk about it." But you have to rely on me, buy some clothes and jewelry today, and dress up, you can't dress up every day. ”

Shopping, women's favorite. Chi Xing is not exempt from vulgarity, although he feels sorry for the silver two, but under Chi Tao's strong persuasion, he also bought two fresh colored fabrics, and pointed to a peach and smiled: "This color is bright, Achu must like it." ”

"Buy." Chi Tao picked up another silver-gray one, "This one was bought to make clothes with Brother Shao." ”

Chi Xing pretended not to hear, and turned her face to pick up the cloth. Chi Tao secretly snickered and wrapped up the silver-gray one.

bought two or three kinds of cloth for everyone in the family, Chi Tao left the address and instructed the store to deliver it to the door, and then pulled Chi Xing into a jewelry store next door.

Chi Tao took a twisted gold bracelet and compared it on Chi Xing's arm: "Boss, wrap this up." ”

Chi Xing hurriedly stopped: "How expensive is this?" Don't don't, I don't like gold, falling panic! ”

Chi Tao does not follow: "Money is used to spend, I think gold is good, take advantage of your skin color!" ”

Seeing that the young couple had such a big business, the shopkeeper of the jewelry shop hurriedly smiled and took a box out: "Little lady, your father-in-law loves you, are you still not happy?" Little Lao'er will give you a pair of silver earrings again! ”

Chi Xing's face was red, and she pulled Chi Tao and whispered: "I don't have much money in my hand, but I can't help it like this!" ”

"I know, I know, I know it all." Chi Tao was perfunctory, and his eyes only looked at a few silver hairpins taken out by the shopkeeper on the container, "This, this, and this, I want them." "I also saw a Hetian white jade bracelet, a thin bracelet made of gold, one end of which was carved with mutton fat white jade into the shape of a small lotus to reveal sharp corners, and the other end was two curly gold leaves, slightly inlaid with two small rubies as dewdrops.

Chi Tao smiled: "This is in contrast to Achu, it is elegant, lively and cute." ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly took the bracelet to Ah Chu: "This is mutton fat jade, the quality is excellent, only thirty taels of silver, very cost-effective." ”

Chi Xing also said: "Achu has been at our house for so long, and like the family, I bought it and gave it to her to wear." ”

The two of them talked and laughed, and just arrived at the door with a large bag and a small bag, Chi Tao suddenly felt that Fang had just swept something, which was both familiar and abrupt.

Chi Tao hurriedly retreated, scanning the jewelry displayed in the container.

In the lattice on the left side of the container, there is a Pisces green jade pendant, inlaid with gold edges, and it is the sunlight reflected by the gold edge that hits Chi Tao's eyes.

Chi Tao's mind flashed back to the night she first met Achu..... after Qiao Yulang was knocked unconscious by her, Achu kicked him hard, and the jade pendant was tied to Qiao Yulang's belt and hit the corner of the table.......

Chi Xing was puzzled and pulled Chi Tao's sleeve: "What's wrong?" But what's in it? ”

Chi Tao pointed at the jade pendant and smiled: "This looks chic." ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly took the jade pendant off the container and carefully put it on the counter: "Look, although the jade quality is average, not the mutton fat jade, but as you said, it is better in terms of chic shape, and it is also wrapped with gold edges, which is more expensive." The price is not expensive, only twenty taels. ”

Chi Tao took it in his hand and looked at the sunlight carefully, the gold texture is soft, and it is very easy to have friction marks when wearing, but the gold-filled part of this jade pendant thinks that it has been refurbished, and some scratches are gone.

She looked at it for a long time, only to find that there was a slight knock in the depression where the tail of the two fish of the jade pendant was connected, and she was already very sure that it was Qiao Yulang's old thing, which was kicked to the corner of the table by Achu, because it was in an inconspicuous place, it should not have been found in the store.

She deliberately "hey", pointed to the bump mark and said, "Look at this, there are traces of the bump." She approached the shopkeeper and whispered, "This jade pendant has been worn by someone else, right?" ”

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, took it over and looked at it, patted his head and said in annoyance: "This is the goods I received at the pawnshop, and the pawnshop said that this batch is new." Hey, you fooled me! ”

"Which pawnshop?" Chi Tao took out a silver ingot from his purse, "I hate it when others lie to me the most, you tell me the truth, I will ask for this jade pendant." ”

The shopkeeper was puzzled: "What do you ask the pawnshop to do?" ”

"Of course, I won't do business with him in the future!" Chi Tao boasted, "Although I am doing a small business, my master's family is a big business!" Shall I go back and tell the lord that he will not associate with such a treacherous pawnshop?"

When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately stopped hesitating: "It's the Qianyunzhai on the back street." ”

Chi Tao wrapped the jade pendant and went to the backstreet to find the pawnshop. After looking for a long time, I found the signboard of Qianyunzhai in the gap between the two facades. I thought that the name was so majestic that it must be a pawn shop, but it turned out to be an inconspicuous shop.

When I got home, Chi Tao changed into a yellow dress, found Xie's house, and shook at the back door for a while, only to see a little guy come out, she grabbed the little guy: "This little brother, I want to hear the rain, bother the little brother to help me go in and call him okay?"

"Listen to the rain?" The little guy looked Chi Tao up and down, "Who are you?" ”

Chi Tao showed the countryman's nervousness, holding his hands and making a bitter face: "I'm his cousin..... family asked me to come to him and find me a job in the city!" As if she suddenly remembered something, she took out an oiled paper bag and stuffed it into the bag behind her: "The sausages filled at home can be eaten by steaming." The pig that has been raised for a year is made of hind leg meat, but it is fragrant..... little brother takes the wine and tastes it! ”

"You're as slippery as your cousin." The little guy flipped the oiled paper bag, smelled a burst of aroma, swallowed his saliva and smiled: "Then you will wait here for a while." ”

After a while, the back door creaked, and I heard the rain swaggering out: "Which one is looking for me?" Before the words fell, he had already seen Chi Tao, and he was stunned, "You ......"

"Cousin! My aunt asked me to come! Chi Tao ran up and suppressed the words of Listening to the rain, "Hey, you're really good!" The people in this high-gate compound are also well-dressed! She gestured with her eyes to listen to the rain, there were shadows and shadows wandering in the door, since Xie Yao said those words to her, everything in this family is not so simple, and it cannot be taken lightly.

Hearing the rain reacted: "Oh, iron lock, you are so tall, I don't even recognize it!" ”

Chi Tao smirked twice, reached out and touched Tingyu's clothes, and said enviously: "What kind of material is this?" It's slippery. ”

Tingyu smiled and said, "What is this, haven't you seen the old masters and young masters wearing them?" Have you eaten? Shall I take you out on the street for a bite to eat?" He put his arm around Chi Tao's shoulders and walked a few steps away.

As soon as he turned the corner, Chi Tao put his elbow under Tingyu's armpit: "Stand far away." ”

"Oops." Listening to the rain exaggeratedly covering the sore spots, "You are so heavy!" ”

"Don't talk nonsense, I have something important to look for your son-in-law. You told him to come to my house tonight. ”

Chi Tao saw someone's shadow shaking around the corner, and deliberately said loudly: "If you don't borrow money, you won't borrow!" I'm going back to the country! "Let the eyes of the rain see.

Listening to the rain was also angry: "When did you get the money and didn't spend it all?" How many months of silver is Lao Tzu earning? Hurry up, hurry up, go away! ”

As soon as he entered the house, Chi Tao was almost thrown to the ground by an enthusiastic flutter.

Chi Xing laughed on the side: "The bracelet you picked, Achu likes it very much." ”

Ah Chu let go of Chi Tao, raised his little face and said arrogantly: "In the past, I couldn't look down on any gold or jade!" However, I only felt that Sister Xing loved me, but I didn't expect you to be so good to me!" She fiddled with her earrings, and her eyes lit up: "By the way, we have a kind of Qiluo jade, which is so green and black, ground into extremely thin jade pieces to make earrings, and it looks good when worn on the ears with green and shiny!" When I go back, I'll send you ten against eight pairs! ”

Chi Xing pursed her lips and smiled: "Then I'll thank the county lord first." ”

"What kind of county lord, I have to go back." Achu lowered his head, "You don't have to hide it from me, I know that the situation is not so good now, so Xie Yao has not come to pick me up." ”

Chi Tao thought about it for a while, and decided to tell Ah Chu the truth: "Xingniang, the fewer people who know about this, the better, you go and make me some dinner first." After Chi Xing left, she said to Achu: "Actually, I already met the fake county lord a few days ago, and I don't think she is replacing you in Huizhou." ”

"Huh?" Ah Chu was taken aback, and immediately understood, "Yes, if it were her, without my guidance, it would be impossible to be fooled for so long." So what do you mean? She's been impersonated again? ”

"More than that. There are now three unclaimed corpses parked in Yizhuang in the north of the city, which are Qiao Yulang, Huizhou Nu and her personal maid. ”

Achu's lips turned pale: "You mean ......"

"Yes. If it is you who has entered Beijing, then it may also be you who is stopping in Yizhuang now. I don't know who the other party is yet, but he is deliberately replacing you, and there should be a conspiracy. And if your identity is exposed, you will also be dangerous. ”

Before she finished speaking, Chi Xing came and knocked on the door: "Gongzi Xie is here." ”

Chi Tao had to make a long story short: "In short, you can wait with peace of mind for the time being, whether it is Xie Yao or me, I will not leave it alone." She thought for a while, "If it really doesn't work, I'll send you back to Yunnan - the King of Qi won't recognize you!" ”

Ah Chu couldn't help but smile, tears were still rolling in his eyes, and he muttered, "Got it, I know." In another year or two, my father really won't know me! ”

Chi Tao rushed to the front hall, and Xie Yao was already sitting on a chair drinking tea.

Seeing Chi Tao come in, Xie Yao was a little uncomfortable, so he pretended to be calm and took a sip of the tea bowl, and cleared his throat: "I heard the rain say that you are looking for me." ”

Chi Tao knew that Xie Yao had cut out his own private affairs in front of her because he "spit out the truth after drinking" a few days ago, and he was a little reluctant to see her, but the matter was urgent, so he couldn't pay attention to his careful thoughts.
