Chapter 298 Familiar Jade Pendant
Mother Shen looked at a loss: "When did you know?"
"After marrying into the Song family."
No wonder she changed later. Did she know that she was not her biological daughter?
"So your information is worthless to me!" Shen Xia raised his eyebrows and smiled.
Shen Xia didn't feel sorry for her mother just because she was old now!
It is said that there must be something hateful about a pitiful person.
It's what you deserve. You created the cause and you have to bear the consequences.
Mother Shen finally argued for herself: "But you have a jade pendant that you carry with you."
Shen Xia's eyes narrowed.
"how much is it?"
Although I don't want to find out my background, I still have to keep my things to myself.
"One hundred taels."
"Keep it for yourself!" Shen Xia smiled. He was really asking for a lot of money!
One hundred taels is nothing to Shen Xia?
But I just don't want to give it to her.
Seeing that she didn't even want to pay a hundred taels, Shen's mother
He said, "Fifty taels, no less. The quality of the jade is worth more than fifty taels if it is pawned."
"Why don't you take it out and let me see it, otherwise how would I know if you are lying to me?"
When Shen's mother heard this, she hesitated.
But I thought she wouldn't steal my money!
But if he didn't sell it to Shen Xia, he wouldn't dare to pawn the jade himself, because it was obvious that it was not an ordinary item.
I’m afraid of causing trouble.
But the second brother owes the gambling house fifty taels of silver. If there is only fifty taels left, there will be nothing left!
After thinking about it again and again.
Mother Shen slowly took out a round jade pendant from her arms.
The jade pendant was hanging in the air by a rope.
The crystal clear jade pendant is exceptionally warm and smooth under the light.
Shen Xia could tell at a glance that the texture of this jade pendant was top quality, but why did the texture look a little familiar?
Shen Xia remained calm and said, "This fifty taels is already high, but I feel sorry for you, so I'll give you fifty taels. If you're willing, keep it. If not, you can pawn it!"
When Shen's mother heard this, she hesitated for a while and said, "Okay."
Shen Xia glanced at Jixiang.
Jixiang understood what he meant and took the jade pendant.
Shen Xia took the jade pendant and said, "Go to the housekeeper and give her fifty taels."
"Yes." Then he went out.
Shen Xia looked carefully at the texture of the jade pendant.
"How old were you when you picked me up?"
"Three years old."
"Whether you kidnapped me on purpose or picked me up is another matter!" Shen Xia's face darkened.
When Shen's mother heard this, she waved her hands quickly: "No, no, my family worked as a laborer in the capital city before, and when I saw you, you were a dirty person."
Shen Xia listened and realized that’s what it was.
Since she didn't live in the village, no one knew that Shen Xia had picked this up.
Shen Xia continued to look at the jade pendant in her hand.
Suddenly I remembered that it is a bit similar to Xiaotian’s jade pendant!
But it’s not convenient to take it out and compare it now, I can only look at it when I have free time.
When Song's mother heard that Shen's mother was coming, she came to the front yard.
When I arrived, Shen's mother had already left with the money.
Mother Song looked at Shen Xia anxiously: "Your mother didn't bully you, did she?"
Shen Xia saw Song's mother's worry and said, "Mom, it's okay, don't worry."
Mother Song looked at the jade pendant in Shen Xia's hand and said, "This jade pendant has a good texture."
"It's about my background."
"Your life experience?"
"Um."
Mother Song shook her head in confusion: "How could that be?"
"Mother Shen just said that I am not her biological child and that the jade pendant is mine. She asked me to exchange it with money. Her family must have encountered some trouble."
After hearing this, Song's mother said: "It's okay. I don't hang out with her anyway. It doesn't matter if you're not my biological child. I treat you as my own."
Song's mother comforted her.
I was worried that Shen Xia would feel bad.
Shen Xia smiled and said to Song's mother: "Well, I have a mother, that's enough. This matter doesn't matter to me. I don't think I look like a biological child anyway."
"That's good, as long as you're not sad. By the way, where are the three little treasures?"
Shen Xia thought for a moment: "It should be with their fifth uncle and younger uncle!"
"Oh, Yi Yi has been close to his uncle since he was a child," Song's mother sighed.
"How can we not be close? You are pampering me without any limit."
Song's mother smiled and said, "It's okay to spoil the little girl."
Shen Xia disagreed: "It's okay to spoil a little girl, but you have to instill the right perspective in her from a young age. She can't be spoiled and willful, nor can she be pretty and brainless, otherwise she'll be sold one day and help others count the money."
"That's true, but Yi Yi is obedient and sensible. Although her family spoils her, she is not spoiled. The children you taught are not afraid of anything, and you taught them well."
Shen Xia thought, there must be nothing wrong with what I taught, the point is that isn't it a hindrance if you spoil her like that?
Early the next morning.
Everyone got up early.
My eldest brother didn’t come back this year, but my second brother was at home.
Shen Xia got up early in the morning and packed up.
Because we had some work to do at home, we all had breakfast together in the front yard in the morning.
Although Shen Xia doesn’t have to do anything?
But we still have to receive guests.
Mother Song is an old lady now, so she definitely cannot receive guests outside.
As the only mistress of this family, Shen Xia is definitely the only one who can receive guests.
Very soon after breakfast in the morning, guests arrived.
Shen Xia and Song Yun were responsible for receiving guests at the door.
Song Ming and Song Jin were arranging things inside.
That's how we divide the work and cooperate.
The Song family has quite a lot of guests now.
The door never stopped.
The population of Fanhua Village is now more prosperous than that of Qiu Shui Town. Smart people buy houses and do business here.
why?
Because there are many workers here, the income is high.
Of course the consumption is also high!
In addition, although Song Ming has no real power, he is definitely a third-rank official!
They didn’t know how high the third rank was, but the county magistrate was only the seventh rank, so the third rank was simply unimaginable!
Moreover, the eldest son of the Song family is currently a general of the fourth rank, which means he has real power. And the fourth son of the Song family is said to be going to Beijing to take the exam this year.
That guy is a genius student who always gets first place in every exam. If he gets first place again, he will be a sure winner.
Why not six first place?
Because Song Yun did not get first place in the county examination, it was impossible for him to get the sixth place.
But he has currently ranked first in both the academy examination and the provincial examination. As long as he ranks first in the metropolitan examination, the current emperor will most likely be willing to have a top three honors.
So now the Song family's status.
Being able to attend the banquet at his house would be a great honor if it were known to others.
Fortunately, the courtyard in the middle of the Song family is big, otherwise how could so many people sit there!
"You two are standing at the door and you don't know it, but you still think you are a perfect match?"
You never know what Han Ji will say.
Song Yun looked at the people who came. They were Han Ji and Qiu Ziyang. "Come in, come in and have a seat."
Shen Xia looked at Han Ji and Qiu Ziyang. These two people often came to hang out with Song Yun, so Shen Xia knew them. There was also a pretty girl next to them.
Shen Xia didn't know this little girl.
But they also warmly welcomed him: "Now that you are here, please come in and sit down!"
Han Ji looked at the little girl beside him and said, "This is my sister, Han Shuang."
Then he looked at Song Yun again: "I won't introduce Song Yun, you know him,"
Looking at Shen Xia, he said, "Who is this..." Han Ji thought for a moment and realized that Shen Xia was the wife of Song Yun's brothers: "Just call her sister-in-law!"
Han Shuang looked at the two of them and said politely, "Hello, sister-in-law, hello, brother Yun."
The little girl was very gentle and Shen Xia liked her very much.
Is this the girl Song Yun likes?
