Chapter 115 Tianlun
Ji Xiaotang took it out for Qin Zhen to show it, but his attention turned to Xuan'er.?◎?§
After doing this, she looked at Xuan'er for a while before looking up.
Qin Zhen had already put away the jade belt at this time. Ji Xiaotang did not show any abnormality, but only vaguely felt that Qin Zhen seemed to be very interested in this jade belt.
"You are the prince, there is nothing good. Grandma wants to give you something, but she is embarrassed to say that she is afraid that you will dislike it. Grandma must have picked out the jade belt for you specially. If the prince thinks it is still eye-catching, keep it. It will be in vain to put it here." Ji Xiaotang said.
"Okay, this jade belt is here for me." Qin Zhen agreed very happily, and then seemed to ask inadvertently, "There are many physical and personal things left by the old lady?"
"It should be." Ji Xiaotang nodded.
Ji Xiaotang probably has a clear understanding of the body and quantity of gold and silver of Mrs. Ji Xiaotang, however, was not very clear about the head and face decorations and antique calligraphy and paintings. But one thing is certain, the body and soul of Mrs. Ji who stayed with Mrs. Ji was far beyond the value she could estimate.
The Ji family only started to become an official from Mr. Ji, and Mr. Ji was not a long time to be an official, and he was very honest. The Ji family's huge property was all wealth accumulated by his ancestors in business.
The world is chaotic and the people are living in poverty, but it is a paradise for heroes and speculators. The ancestors of the Ji family are afraid that they are not honest businessmen. Ji Xiaotang knows this.
Moreover, although Qin Zhen's attitude was very natural, he still did not escape Ji Xiaotang's keen eyes.
"Prince, what are the things that my grandmother gave us?" Ji Xiaotang asked Qin Zhen carefully.
Qin Zhen thought for a while before shook his head.
"It's okay. However, if there is anything really valuable to the old lady, don't give it to others casually." Qin Zhen said it was more implicit, but Ji Xiaotang understood it immediately.
"Don't worry, your grandfather." Ji Xiaotang said hurriedly, "I have been helping with housework over the years. The Ji family's property is clean. I am not sure only of the kindness that my grandfather left in my grandmother's hands. But I can guarantee that even if there are things that are slightly taboo, there will never be many."
Moreover, Old Mrs. Ji is actually very wealthy. Most of the money she takes out is gold and silver, and she has never given the body that Old Mr. Ji left her to outsiders.
Even within the Ji family, Ji Xiaotang was very sure that those things would only flow into her, Changsheng and Ji Xiaoyun's hands in the end.
In this way, it is equivalent to being completely under her control, and it will never flow into the eye and even cause trouble.
"The Ji family's ancestors were doing business, and the world was in chaos at that time. There were only a few things. It was completely overwhelming, right?" Ji Xiaotang explained the matter to Qin Zhen clearly, and then said again.
"Xiaotang said it well." Qin Zhen nodded.
"But of course, we still have to be cautious." Ji Xiaotang thought for a while, "I will tell my father, and if my father looks at him, there is no need to worry."
Old Mrs. Ji does not contact outsiders and is unaware of it. Coupled with Qin Zhen’s blessing, Ji Xiaotang believes that no one has the chance to make a fuss about this.
"Prince. Is there a problem with that jade belt?" Ji Xiaotang said this and asked Qin Zhen again.
Seeing that Ji Xiaotang had guessed it, Qin Zhen did not hide it anymore. He took out the jade belt from the brocade box again and asked Ji Xiaotang to carefully look at the connection between the two jade pieces.
There are additional marks of polishing between the two jade pieces. It is not for the need of craftsmanship, but seems to be trying to remove some marks on it.
"If you don't pay attention, you will naturally not appear." Qin Zhen explained to Ji Xiaotang, then stretched out his finger and dipped it in tea, and drew a pattern on the table, "Xiaotang. Look carefully, is the grinded pattern very similar to this one?"
After seeing the patterns drawn by Qin Zhen on the table, Ji Xiaotang couldn't help but be surprised. After comparing them with the patterns that were not completely worn out between the two jade pieces, it turned out to be the same pattern.
Before Qin Zhen could say anything, Ji Xiaotang had already carefully checked it out.
Every piece of jade has the same polishing marks, but the polishing is very clean and almost no marks are left.
"This..." Ji Xiaotang grabbed the jade belt and looked at Qin Zhen.
"It's okay, put it in the warehouse. I have a few such things here. Who knows what else can I say?" Qin Zhen smiled and said.
Ji Xiaotang nodded and handed the jade belt to Qin Zhen.
Qin Zhen immediately called Wang Ruhai and asked Wang Ruhai to send the jade belt into the inner treasury to keep it.
"Put it together with the things left by the noble concubine." Qin Zhen also gave Wang Ruhai a special order.
Wang Ruhai didn't ask anything, agreed, and then stepped back with the jade belt.
Ji Xiaotang breathed a sigh of relief, but thought in her heart that she had to beat someone and ask Master Ji Er to come and discuss it carefully.
The pattern Qin Zhen painted on the table had disappeared with the dissipation of water, leaving no traces. However, the pattern was imprinted on Ji Xiaotang's heart extremely clearly.
She recognized the pattern, and she had recognized it since she was a very young child.
She remembered that it was the second time she had returned to the old house in Qingyuan. Because she often heard Master Ji Er talk about the library at home, one day she woke up early in the nap and did not wake up the person she served, so she went into Ruyi Garden alone.
At that time, she was so small that she had almost no one noticed her, she slipped into the library. The tall bookshelf of the library and the neatly stacked bookshelf made her feel both sacred and comfortable. Because she had already read from Master Ji Er, she claimed that she had recognized many words, so she looked at them all, reading them in a low voice while reading the words on the spine.
Then, when she saw a chair, she simply climbed up and stood on the chair, and she could see the books on the high place more clearly.
There was a book that attracted her attention for some reason. She pulled out the book. What made her unhappy was that there were many words in the book that she didn't recognize.
This made her hold the book and refuse to let go, and she almost turned it over page by page.
She didn't know when my grandfather arrived or had been in the library at all. She only remembered that my grandfather had picked her up from the chair, and she still held the book in her hand.
Later, my grandfather held her and went to the front of the book case. My grandfather asked her many questions, except for her father. She asked what books she had read and how many words she recognized.
Grandfather treated her kindly and kindly. After answering her grandfather's question, she handed the book in her hand to her and asked him for words she didn't recognize.
At that time, there seemed to be something in her grandfather's smile that she could not understand.
Grandfather taught her patiently.
It turned out that it was a non-broken history. It was the story of the Song Dynasty. It was the first time she saw the royal logo of the Song Dynasty in that book, which was the pattern that Qin Zhen had just drawn.
At that time, what else did grandfather say? She seemed to be a little confused.
My grandfather should have said nothing more than just explaining the meaning of the word for her. But when he finally closed the book, he said the eight words "The Round of Life" and the Change of Countryside".
After that, she went into the library and never saw that book again. She found so many books in the library and left it aside.
She kept remembering that pattern because of Ruyi Garden. That pattern looks very similar to Ruyi.
Recalling his childhood past, Ji Xiaotang sighed secretly in his heart, but did not mention it to Qin Zhen.
Those things, as well as the past of the Ji family, will slowly be completely completely covered with the years. What she needs to face more is the present and future things.
On that day, Ji Xiaotang used an excuse to beat someone and invited Mr. Ji Er to Prince An's mansion. He told Mr. Ji Er in this way. Mr. Ji Er was much nervous than Ji Xiaotang, so he assured Ji Xiaotang and Qin Zhen that no matter what else Mrs. Ji had on her side, she would never appear in front of the world.
Qin Zhen comforted Master Ji Er. After so many years, the descendants of the Qi family were named Shunyi Bo. Just be careful of such things, so there is no need to be too nervous.
...
Time passed quickly, and May entered in a blink of an eye.
The seven-jin full moon wine was placed in Xinhua Hall. The scenery and livelyness cannot be compared with the full moon of Prince An. However, Shunyi Bo is backed by the Xinhua Hall Ji family, as well as two attentive guests such as An and Emperor Longqing, who come to have the full moon wine.
On this day, Qin Zhen pushed forward all other social engagements and accompanied Ji Xiaotang to Xinhuatang. The two of them also brought Qin Xuan over, which made everyone in Xinhuatang very happy.
Since Ji Xiaotang got married, Yanhua Hall has been vacant, but Master Ji Er and Mrs. Ji Er did not arrange for anyone to move in, but kept everything as it was and arranged for the girl to take care of her every day.
Ji Xiaotang came to drink seven jin of full moon wine this time. Because he brought Qin Xuan, the nurse and maid who served brought many of them over. She and Qin Zhen simply took a group of people to rest in Yanhua Hall.
Outside Yanhua Hall, the guards and servants of the royal palace were replaced, and no idle people were allowed to enter.
The Ji family knew that Xuan'er's identity was unusual and that he knew the danger he was facing, so they did not allow Ji Xiaotang to take Xuan'er elsewhere. Old Mrs. Ji personally brought people to Yanhuatang.
Ji Xiaoyun and Xie Huaijin also came, followed by the wet nurse holding Qijin.
After a month of rest, Ji Xiaoyun has recovered roughly, but her body is still weak. Xie Huaijin has become a father and is so happy this month that she can't stop talking about her all day.
Everyone greeted each other and then sat around the hall and talked. Naturally, everyone's attention was focused on the two children.
Because Mrs. Ji doesn't like to go out, she meets Xuan'er the least often. At this time, she can't take her eyes away when she looks at Xuan'er.
"A fat boy who is rare." Looking at Xuan'er, Old Mrs. Ji narrowed her eyes with a smile, and hurriedly asked someone to take out a lot of things.
The golden collar, the long-lived lock, the small bracelet with a bell and the small anklet. This is the thing to celebrate the full moon for seven jin. Xuan'er had the same set when he was full moon.
In addition, Old Mrs. Ji took out a heavy red gold collar and two heavy little anklets, saying that it was for Xuan'er.
There was no pattern on the gold collar, but it was very thick, and the small anklet was the same. Even Ji Xiaotang held it in his hand and felt that he was pressing his hands. It was still in a very simple style and had no exquisite patterns.
"Your father insisted that I clean up the cabinets, for fear that I would put anything in the cabinets for many years without using it. As a result, I found some such things, but I forgot. It didn't look good, but it would be okay for a little boy to wear them."
Ji Xiaotang glanced at Master Ji Er.
Master Ji Er nodded and signaled that after listening to Ji Xiaotang's words, he had already found a way to help Mrs. Ji clean up her body, so that Ji Xiaotang could rest assured.
Ji Xiaotang felt relieved, and when he saw the two things that Mrs. Ji prepared for Xuan'er, he couldn't help laughing.
This is not something that the little boy wears. It is clearly the wealth accumulated by the old rich man in the countryside in a different way than gold ingots.
Such things were pressed into Mr. Ji's box by Mr. Ji, I'm afraid that it was for the sake of unworthy descendants. If one day I lost my family, these things could be used as gold and silver.
She imagined what Xuan'er would look like when wearing these things, and couldn't help but laugh even happier.
"Old lady, we don't need this..."
Before she could finish her words, she was stopped by Old Mrs. Ji.
"You said no, Xuan'er didn't say no. This is for Xuan'er, not for you. Could it be that you dislike it's not good-looking... You wore such a collar when you were a child..."
Ji Xiaotang was immediately distracted. She really couldn't remember wearing such a silly and silly thing when she was a child, and she couldn't help but turn her eyes to Mrs. Ji Er.
Mrs. Ji Er was also smiling with her lips pursed. Seeing Ji Xiaotang looking over, she nodded.
"Your grandparents knew that we had given birth to you, so they beat someone to bring me a set." But she didn't wear it for Ji Xiaotang. It was not that she disliked her ugly appearance, but that she felt that the things were too heavy and she was afraid that the children would panic when wearing them.
"You wore it when you were a child. Later, when you grow up, you don't wear those things anymore, so I will put them on for you. You are not careful. Didn't that put it in your dowry and put it under the box?" Mrs. Ji Er continued.
"You sisters all have it!" said Old Mrs. Ji.
"This is an old thing that has been around for many years. I'm afraid it was my great-grandfather who bought it at that time. The old lady gave it, and it also brings it to Xuan'er with the blessing of the old lady." Master Ji Er also said.
Ji Xiaotang smiled and asked Jin'er to put away the collar and gold bracelet. He secretly planned to wait until Xuan'er grows bigger and stronger, one day he would find this out for him to wear it and wear him a golden dress. I wonder what Xuan'er would look like when she dressed up like that?!
