C152

I was hoping that even if it was a royal item, it might only be used by the royal family.

The neat calligraphy on the back of the jade plate said "Hongzhi Year", and underneath it was clearly written "Submit to the Ministry of Internal Affairs".

It was obvious that this was the item used today.

The palace was tightly guarded, and it was not easy to take things out with you, let alone steal a jade belt.

This jade belt in the Lu family's hands should be a gift from the royal family.

Since the Emperor bestowed it, shouldn't it be carefully preserved?

Why did they send it to the Yang family as a birthday present?

The wax on the outside had been done on purpose.

After thinking about it, I hurriedly stood up. "Quickly, go and call the Lu family's mothers in! I have something to ask them! "

Mother Du looked at her grandmother and quickly went out to look for her.

Time ticked by in the outer clock, and my grandmother and I sat on the kang face to face, both of us seeing bitterness and uneasiness on each other's faces.

"Do you know whose object this is?" The hand that was holding the jade belt was trembling a little.

The words that were clearly meant to be calmly said sounded fragmented and fragmented, appearing all of a sudden in this quiet night.

Grandmother smiled sadly and pinched a piece of gold thread that I had broken. Her voice was light and distant.

"This kind of thread was made by my parents." Grandmother's eyes sparkled in the light of the lamp, a flash of cold light, and I missed it.

"This golden thread looks thin, but it is actually made from nine even thinner golden threads. Moreover, it can only be made with an extremely good quality new gold. This golden thread... My family only takes orders from the Internal Affairs Bureau. " There was an unconcealable sigh in her grandmother's voice.

He had heard that his grandmother's family was also a wealthy family, but he didn't expect them to have a business selling needlework and embroidery, and even talk to the Ministry of Internal Affairs!

Then why was it that after so many years, Grandmother and her family didn't seem to have much to do with each other?

Under the lamp, Grandmother's eyelashes were illuminated with a soft golden light, making her seem increasingly lonely.

"Are you going to ask me why I'm not contacting my family?" Although Grandmother was smiling, there was a trace of grief on her face, and the corners of her eyes sparkled.

As a junior, I could neither agree nor disagree. I could only smile awkwardly as I reached for the teapot to refill my grandmother's empty teacup.

Grandmother's voice was very soft. "They don't want to acknowledge me anymore."

Saying this, Grandmother smiled to herself.

"Why?" Before he could think about it, he blurted out the question.

Grandmother didn't seem to notice my rudeness at all, and continued her sentence with a faint smile on her lips, "Have you ever heard of the Yao family in Yuhang? Our Yao Family specializes in embroidery business, just under the hands of the embroidery mother there are more than 500. As for me, I used to be the eldest daughter of the Yao family. Since I was young, I have followed my grandfather on his journeys to the north. Even those big shopkeepers in the shops can't account for it! "

Grandmother's face revealed a nostalgic smile, as if she was very much missing the free life in her daughter's room.

"Later on …" Grandmother's smile faded as she gently touched the Buddhist Jade Bead on her wrist.

"Old lady!" Mama Du came in again like a gust of wind.

"What about them?" I stared at the emptiness behind my mother, disappointed and surprised.

"When this servant went, the two mothers had already left in the Lu family's car. This servant thought that it might not be appropriate to let someone chase after them at this time, so she came back to ask for your opinion." Little beads of sweat slid down Mother Du's forehead.

As I held the jade belt, I felt empty in my heart for a moment.

What did the Lu family mean by this?

"Also, Madam gave me a letter, saying that it was from Old Granny Lu who wrote it to you." Mother Du took out a very ordinary envelope from her sleeve and handed it to her grandmother. "I said it was because the two mothers left in a hurry and forgot to give it to you."

Seeing that my grandmother was about to directly tear open the envelope with her hands, I hurriedly shouted, "Wait!"

I keep having the feeling that the Lu Family used such a large sum of money to stop them from doing such a senseless thing.

He took the silver hairpin from his head and dipped it in the water. Little by little, he melted the paste that stuck to the envelope.

The most dangerous place would also be the safest place. This envelope seemed ordinary, but it might not be without mysteries.

After completely storing the envelope, I took out the letter and passed it to my grandmother.

Grandmother seemed to know my eagerness. "Come and have a look!"

It was just a few ordinary words of greeting. They were polite and did not lose their bearing. It was in keeping with the Lu family's usual behavior.

What was the Lu family up to?!

I took the letter from my grandmother's hand and read it back and forth. After reading it several times, I still couldn't find anything!

"There are words!" There are words! " Mama Du pointed to the letter in my hand.

"Where?" I asked, looking up at her.

"Down there." Mother Du quickly rushed over and pointed at the last paragraph on the letter.

The empty section, where were the words?

"Look! "Look!" Mama Du pulled me along while she put the paper on top of the lamp.

"Relying on your wind, send me to heaven!" I read the words in the light.

The Lu family's way of deliberately mystifying others was truly tiresome!

I have seen in books that there is a kind of ink that only appears in particularly bright places.

Even though he was doing all these sneaky things, he still couldn't let go of his pride.

Another "Jade Belt" and another "Azure Sky". It seemed like the Lu family, as a subordinate of a dragon, would not be able to hold their position as an official!

I clapped my hands and laughed.

In the past, it was a man on the chopping block, while I was the fish. It seems like I will soon overturn the world!

"I think this jade belt is clearly a gift for me!" I laughed and teased my grandmother.

"Then take it and keep it well!" Grandmother also had a faint smile on her face.

If I was just an ordinary twelve-year-old girl who knew that I had a face similar to the Emperor's most beloved person and had the chance to be sent to the palace and become the most powerful woman in the world, how could I not be moved?

The Lu family had calculated that I would be tempted, so they handed over such a weakness to the Yang family without worry?

How bold!

"Find me a trustworthy craftsman and seal this belt!"

The matter of the Lu Family sending this jade belt over was not something that could be made known to more people, especially the people of the Prayer King. Maybe they would take the opportunity to request for me to enter the palace through the Lu family's means. That would be completely opposite of what I wanted to be free!

"Your mother is a dependable person. I think it's better to leave it to her!" Grandmother was holding a cup of tea, looking very relaxed.

"Alright!" I readily agreed.

Grandmother's opinion could not have been better.

Since the letter had passed through his mother's hands, she should be the one who knew. Even if the Lu family had some selfish motives and did not inform his mother, her mother would definitely understand after sending the jade over.

Compared to the Lu family, her mother's thoughts were simple and easy to grasp.

"Go, get a box and send it to Madam. Tell her to do it as soon as possible!" Grandmother smiled and pointed at the jade belt in my hand.

After Mother Du hurriedly put on the jade belt and sent it to her mother, the room returned to its previous silence.

"Grandmother, did you just say that the storekeeper's reckoning was not as good as yours?"

"It's all a long story, let's not talk about it!" Grandmother waved her hand, wiping away the gloom.

Now that Grandmother has said so, I can't ask any further.

I still wanted to know why my grandmother had moved from the distant Jiangnan to this desolate northern part of the country.

"Do you want to know how I got to know that old bastard Xu?"

Didn't I say that I won't talk about the old days anymore!

Although he thought this in his heart, he couldn't say it out loud.

"How did you know him?" I pretended to be curious.

"We used to live next door when we were kids, and she used to come and play with me. Later on, her family was completely annihilated … She married into the Xu family at the age of thirteen. At that time, she often came to me to cry about how bad her fate was.

As she finished her sentence, her grandmother's tone was filled with emotion!

It must be because things changed when they were compared to humans!

He was also born in a merchant family, but now the Xu family was the first family to become a public official, and the Yang family was still just a merchant family, they couldn't even compare to the Wen family.

I held Grandmother's hand and said smilingly, "Flower blooming and thanking me for being reincarnated into the human world, that is a matter of course!"

Grandmother laughed, "Do you think I don't know!? If I don't understand this logic, I haven't lived this long for nothing! "It's just that I pitied you …"

"What are you talking about!" I laughed.

Since I was reborn, I never thought about getting married again.

Since ancient times, it had always been a love between a man and a woman.

The man was happy and carefree, while the woman loved and was gentle and lingering.

For a woman, the moment of happiness lingered in her heart for a long time. In the end, it would all become cups of bitterness, turning into little tears of love.

Greed and resentment, have tasted once, the world is different, I no longer have any intention.

Since he wasn't going to marry, then it didn't matter to him whether he was a merchant or not.

I sometimes think about the days to come.

When I've finished helping King Qi, I'll close that shop on the East Street. If I take a plate of the shop there, I'll get thirty to forty thousand taels of silver. I should be able to buy a small shop in Qingzhou.

If Grandmother is willing to join us, if Grandmother is not willing, then she will continue to follow Father.

Raising two embroidery ladies, opening an embroidery shop, selling handkerchief, bridal handkerchief, silk flowers and other items, and also selling some cosmetic powder and fragrant liquid along the way, it shouldn't be a problem to maintain their livelihood!

At that time, he would just say that he was too stubborn, and his husband would die, leaving him in mourning. He wouldn't even need to marry anyone.

If you have some spare money, go to the good hall and bring back a child. Just say that you want to inherit your late husband's incense!

Who would have thought that a woman selling handkerchiefs on the street would look like Princess Honghua?

Sometimes, when I'm free, I imagine a handkerchief embroidered with flowers and a shelf with scented head oil.

The future I longed for did not seem far away.

"Why hasn't this old thing returned after so long?" Grandmother complained in a low voice.

I smiled and poured a cup of tea for my grandmother.

It looked neither fast nor slow.
