When Tang Ji heard this description, the jade pendant given to him by Yue Shuhua immediately came to mind. With a little displeasure and anger in his eyes, he said in a deep voice: "Sister-in-law Cheng, I need an explanation."
Cheng Xiuzhu's eyes evaded and her hands kept pinching each other. Tang Ji was now so famous that even a woman knew about her, not to mention that she was related to the government. At this time, she could only continue to act stupid and hesitate.
: "I, I didn't know it belonged to Mr. Tang. I thought it was Yunyun who picked it up."
Tang Ji naturally knew that this was a lie she had made up. He raised his eyebrows slightly and continued to ask: "Where are the things?"
"Things, things were... lost by me." Cheng Xiuzhu became more and more nervous, and her voice became smaller and smaller.
"Really lost? Are you sure I wasn't pawned by you?" Tang Ji's voice was not loud, but it was penetrating, directly exposing the other party's lies.
Cheng Xiuzhu's heart "thumped", her fat cheeks trembled twice, and she knelt down quickly: "Mr. Tang, I didn't mean to do it. My Yunyun family is still young, and the business of the drug store is sluggish, so I can only put that
I sold this pendant to get some money. I hope you will not remember the mistakes of others and forgive me once."
The passers-by who had just rescued the injured rich man and the coachman from the carriage quickly noticed the movement. A man saw Cheng Xiuzhu kneeling on the ground, scratched the back of his head, and asked curiously: "How can the mother of the little girl give that
The young master who saved people knelt down? Isn’t it more than just thanking you?"
Tang Ji didn't want to be gossiped about, so he sighed: "Is the word 'Ji' engraved on that pendant?"
"Yes, yes." Cheng Xiuzhu nodded crazily.
Hearing this, Tang Ji was sure that the jade pendant in Jiu'er's hand was something related to his life experience, so he pinched Cheng Yunyun's face. He wanted to give her some money, but he thought of Cheng Xiuzhu's face.
, looked around, quickly walked to the side and bought a portion from a stall selling preserves and handed it to the little girl: "Thank you Yunyun, come on, this is what my brother invited you to do."
"Thank you, brother." Cheng Yunyun was not polite, took the oil paper bag with both hands, took one out and stuffed it into her mouth. Her eyes suddenly lit up, and she took another one and stuffed it into Cheng Xiuzhu: "Mom, you should try it too, it's delicious.
"
Tang Ji chuckled and shook his head. His daughter sold her own mother. She was really a loving mother and a filial daughter. He accidentally touched the wound again, gasped, and continued walking towards the street while covering the wound.
Seeing that Tang Ji didn't care, Cheng Xiuzhu breathed a sigh of relief, glared at Cheng Yunyun, ate the candied fruit in her hand, and said angrily: "Who told you to say such things outside, you damn girl, I'll deal with you when I get back.
, let’s go, let’s go find that carriage and argue, we don’t have ten taels of silver today, this matter is not over yet!”
Soon, Cheng Xiuzhu twisted her waist as thin as a bucket and rushed into the crowd, making a loud noise.
...
Soon after, Ji Ran lived in the main courtyard.
Jiang Ran carefully wiped the blood on his arm with clean gauze, and said softly: "Fortunately, it is a skin injury, and the wound is not deep. You, you have to protect yourself first if you want to save someone next time, otherwise
I..."
"How are you? Do you feel distressed?" Tang Ji asked with a playful smile.
She actually stared at him, her face turned red: "Huh, I don't feel sorry for you!"
"Hiss~" Tang Ji groaned and lowered his head slowly, showing a look of pain.
Jiang Ran frowned and said nervously: "What's wrong? Is it possible that a bone was injured? I'd better ask Uncle Xu to call a doctor."
Tang Ji grabbed her hand and shook his head: "You don't feel sorry for me anymore, so this pain is nothing."
Only then did Jiang Ran realize that he was just pretending. He pinched Tang Ji's shoulder with some embarrassment, slightly pursed his lips and said, "If you continue to be so glib, just take care of the wound yourself!"
"No, no, no, I was wrong." Tang Ji immediately chose to surrender.
This scene was fully seen by Jiu'er who came from the room carrying a basin. She pursed her lips and hummed softly: "The young lady and the uncle are getting closer. Be careful, there is a young master before we get married. It is said that
If you go out, you will be laughed at!"
"Jiu'er, you're talking nonsense again!" Jiang Ran scolded softly, wiped the blood on Tang Ji's arm, then wiped him again with the warm water Jiu'er had just brought, and then began to bandage the wound.
.
Jiu'er stuck out his tongue and was about to take away all the blood and water in the tub, but was stopped by Tang Ji.
"Jiuer, where is the jade pendant I gave you?"
Hearing this, Jiu'er protected his chest: "Uncle, you agreed to give it to me. You can't go back on it!"
Tang Ji rolled his eyes. This girl was quite resigned to her death, but he didn't need the jade pendant now. He just wanted to confirm it, so he roughly told what happened on the street just now.
Hearing that the jade pendant was related to his life experience, Jiu'er stopped messing around. He reached into his collar and took out the green jade pendant. He lightly lifted his hair, took off the jade pendant with the rope, and handed it to
Give it back to him.
Tang Ji reached out and took it. He had looked at this jade pendant carefully several times before, but he couldn't see any clues from it. Only the coiled dragon pattern in it made him confused.
Logically speaking, in ancient times only the emperor had access to things related to dragons. Could it be that he and Li Yu were long-lost brothers?
But as soon as the idea came up, he shook his head and rejected it. Since the person who left him in Niujia Village could tell Mr. Wu that his surname was Tang, he should have nothing to do with the old Li family.
Soon, Tang Ji recovered his thoughts. He still didn't get any new clues from this jade pendant. There was no difference from before... Wait, it seemed to be a little different. He couldn't help but get closer and smell it.
Well, it is indeed different, it has more frankincense!
Jiu'er looked at his actions, her little face suddenly turned red, and she exclaimed: "Ah, my uncle is a gangster!"
Not long after, Tang Ji sat in the courtyard with a depressed look on his face, drinking chicken soup just brought from the kitchen. He felt that he needed to clean up this little girl who was always startled. After she just shouted that, now the whole Ji Ran
Curie's servants all looked at him with a strange look, and there were even two maids who acted coquettishly in front of him to seduce him.
At this moment, Jiu'er came out of Jiang Ran's room humming a little tune. After looking at Tang Ji, he silently lowered his head and walked towards the corridor.
"Stop, come here!" Tang Ji put the porcelain spoon back into the bowl, with a hint of command in his tone.
Jiu'er took a deep breath, then walked up to him obediently and smiled: "Uncle, do you have any instructions?"
Tang Jicong stood up, walked slowly to him, and raised his hand high.
Jiu'er thought he was going to hit her, so she quickly closed her eyes.
Unexpectedly, Tang Ji put the pendant around her neck again, and then sat down to drink chicken soup again.
Jiu'er touched the jade pendant and asked curiously: "Uncle, isn't this pendant related to your life experience?"
"Yes, but I don't need it now, so I'll keep it with you. Don't let me lose it." Tang Ji always lost things. Last time he almost lost the Jianghai Chamber of Commerce's chief executive order, so he gave this pendant to
It is most suitable to store wine.
Regarding this, Jiu'er didn't ask any more questions, stuffed the pendant into his clothes again, let it slide into the dangerous ravine, and turned around to leave.
Tang Ji drank the chicken soup in one gulp, looked at the little girl's back, and murmured: "How many people live worse than a pendant!"
