Jin Tingjiao

Chapter 91
The Ji family was not well-known in the capital during the Great Qin Dynasty. It is said that they were farmers three generations ago.

Later, the great-grandfather of the Ji family passed the imperial examination and became a squire. In Ji's father's generation, he was no more than a juren.

Coincidentally, when the dynasties changed, a large number of Tuoba scholars were promoted by the dynasties, and the Ji family jumped up because of this.

Ji's father entered the Ministry of Rites as a son, and then 12 years later, he is only a doctor now!

Ji Jinzhi didn't expect Shen Xi to reply so harshly, his face changed suddenly, and he was about to explode, but seeing the clarity and determination in her eyes, he couldn't help but calm down.

After all, in terms of status, the Ji family is indeed inferior to the Shen family.If it weren't for the fact that Shen Xi is a silly girl, she wouldn't have the guts.

With a cold snort in his nose, he turned around and left.

As soon as she turned around, a piece of emerald jade around her waist drew a shining arc in the air!
Shen Xi's eyes were instantly attracted!
Even with just one glance, she recognized that Yu Nai was the finest glass jade green jadeite!

Such a fine jade light costs 200 taels of silver for a ring, and her carved jade pei, which is as big as a copper coin, costs 400 taels at least!

Isn't their Ji family a doctor?How can you be so rich?Or did she just get this jade by accident?
"Wait!"

She immediately called out to stop Ji Jinzhi.

Then he walked in front of her and stood still, frowning on her body again to look at her.

She was wearing a jacket made of Sichuan brocade, a skirt made of silver silk smoked gauze, a red gold collar around her neck, and a pair of emerald jade bracelets on her left wrist.

Except for the piece of glass jade, her whole body is not too abrupt.

"What are you blocking me for?!"

Ji Jinzhi was impatient with her, and scolded her angrily.

Shen Xi looked at her deeply, and said with a fake smile: "My cousin's jade is not bad. Where did you buy it?"

"You also know that this is a good jade?" Ji Jinzhi smiled, "It's a pity that you can't afford it even if I tell you!"

Shen Xi reached out to pick up the jade, raised the corners of his lips to look at it repeatedly, and said: "Jade is a kind of glass from Laokeng, carved with flowers blooming and rich, and the peony in the middle has the emblem of the Zanyu Building, so it should come from the Zanyu Building. There will be mistakes. It’s just that it’s hard to say whether the girl bought it from the Hairpin Jade Tower.”

She used to buy a lot of things from Zanyulou, but after 50 years, this Yuzhuang may not still be there.

After hearing this, Ji Jinzhi's face changed, and he stared at her up and down.

Shen Xi let her scrutinize him, and his heart was not idle.

Even if the Ji family had some wealth in the past, they might not be able to casually wear such a beautiful jade out of the street. Where did she get this jade?

Only those who are familiar with the situation of the Shen family can calculate the property of the original owner!All the relatives of the Shen family were among the suspects, and the Ji family was no exception.

It would be fine if Ji Jinzhi was covered with valuables, she might not have noticed just now, but it was just this piece of jade, wouldn't it be eye-catching?

"It's none of your business!" Ji Jinzhi was annoyed, "You are not the daughter of a wealthy family, why pretend to be an expert!"

After finishing speaking, he bypassed her and led the servants out without looking back.

Shen Xi stared at her back, but his eyes narrowed slightly.

When the Ji family heard that Ji Jinzhi had arrived, they had already called Shen Yan out.

Who did Shen Yan inquire about first?I heard that only Ji Jinzhi came to the gate of the courtyard.

Seeing that her cheeks were purple and her face was full of anger, she couldn't help asking: "What's wrong with you?"

Ji Jinzhi said under the door that he was angry with Shen Xi's sister and brother, and then suppressed the anger in his heart and said: "I haven't seen her for more than a month, and she has become so crazy! Don't even look at me. I am also your family!" guests."

Shen Yan felt bitter in her heart and couldn't tell.

Where is the current Shen Xi still the former Shen Xi?

Don't say she is Ji Jinzhi, it's the Ji family. This is the third time she has fallen into her hands, and each time is worse than the last time, so I can't tell the outside world.

On the contrary, it was her, Shen Xi, who not only gained her footing a little bit, but also looked more and more like a young lady in the house.

Even the position in Shen Ruopu's heart is obviously different.

Here she persuaded: "Let's go in and talk."

The siblings bought pancakes here, and when they returned to Lixiangyuan, Shen Xi directly called the Pearl Yuanbei to the room.

"What's going on with the Ji family?" she asked.

Ji Jinzhi's jade reawakened her vigilance about the whereabouts of the original owner's family property. Although she didn't know the history of Ji's family very well, she knew that it was pretty close.

And the Ji family in her impression has never been so rich that they can casually wear jade pendants with hundreds of taels of silver on the streets!
If it wasn't for the Ji family's windfall, how could this be happening?
"That's normal."

Since Pearl knew what happened just now, she was not surprised that she asked.

"The old man of the Ji family also has only one son, and since he failed the exam so far, he is unemployed at home, apart from the few shops passed down from his ancestors, he has no other livelihood.

"However, the Ji family is not as numerous as the Shen family, so life should still be easy.

"In the past two years, my uncle and master have made a fortune in the south, and the family has become more and more prosperous."

"Get rich?!" Shen Xi's eyes suddenly became sharp.

"I don't know what to do for a living." Pearl said, "Anyway, we didn't have any accidents at that time, so I heard that he went to the south and didn't come back until last year.

"Forget it, girl, don't bother with her. The appearance of the third wife shows that the Ji family doesn't have any rules, so there's no need to compete with them."

She thought that Shen Xi was fighting with Ji Jinzhi.

When Shen Xi heard this, the suspicion in his eyes turned into doubt again.

Before Shen Chongxin and his wife had an accident, Ji Jinzhi's father went to the south, and he only came back last year, but the property in the hands of the original owner began to be calculated two years ago. From this point of view, it is a bit far-fetched to insist that the Ji family is suspected .

In the Xiexiang Courtyard, Mrs. Ji pulled Ji Jinzhi to ask a few questions about family matters, and Ji Jinzhi carefully asked a few words when he saw Ji's remnant traces, and then changed the topic and talked about other things.

Shen Yan caught sight of the jade around her waist, picked it up and said, "You're willing to wear such a precious thing."

Ji Jinzhi said: "Isn't the family planning to build a new house these few days? I was afraid that the maids would lose the things, so I simply put them on."

Speaking of which, she curled her lips again, and said disdainfully: "Unexpectedly, Sister Xi also recognized this jade, told a lot of its origins, and even asked me where I bought it."

She snorted lightly.

"Sister Xi asked about your jade?" Ji Shiben was drinking tea on the couch, when he heard this, he suddenly turned his head.

Ji Jinzhi nodded: "I've been watching it for a while. I'm probably jealous of me." She chuckled lightly.

But Ji didn't speak, looked at her for a moment and then looked at Shen Yan, there was no intention of agreeing with her in his eyes.
