Jin Tingjiao

Chapter 92 is the cousin
Shen Yan didn't speak either, just knocking a walnut carelessly.

Ji Jinzhi noticed it and couldn't help asking: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this jade?"

Ji put the tea down, raised her lips and said, "There's nothing wrong with it, I just feel that it's a bit ostentatious. No wonder Sister Xi said you, you should take it off later. Wouldn't it be good to use it as the bottom of the box in the future?"

Since she said that, how could Ji Jinzhi say it badly?
After all, this aunt now has some power in Ji's family.

Just as they were talking here, Luping suddenly came in from outside the door and said, "Master Biao has arrived at the mansion."

Before Ji could answer, Shen Yan's hands suddenly trembled, and the two walnuts in her hand immediately rolled to the ground!
Ji frowned and glanced at her, and said, "Master Biao, please come in and talk."

Shen Yan went down to pick up walnuts, and just bumped into the girl who lowered her head. She was always infallible, but now she seemed a little at a loss.

"I'll go down and wash my hands," she said.Then he hooked his head, lifted the curtain and went out.

"Is aunt feeling better?"

Just when she turned into the Moon Cave Gate of Shuyue Mansion, a soft and bright voice came from behind her.

She took two steps to the left, turned back to the wall, and looked out through the Ruyi window at the top of the wall, only to see a man in his early twenties walking in from the other side of the hall, and glanced towards the Moon Cave Gate as he walked.

The nose and eyes are somewhat similar to Ji's, so even if she can't see the full face, she can recognize that this is Ji Jie, the eldest son of her uncle Ji Peng.

She subconsciously avoided this gaze, leaning her back against the wall.

I don't know if it's because the plantains on the top of her head blocked the sunlight, or because her drooping eyelashes were too thick and too long, her normally charming eyes turned dark and gloomy.

Aunt Pei returned to the mansion before noon, and the clothes were paid a total of eight taels of silver.

Each piece is packed in a well-made wooden box, with flowers carved on the outside of the box, which looks luxurious.

Aunt Pei paid the money from her monthly bank account, but Shen Xifei asked her to pay it from her office and she refused to let it, saying: "The girl is doing very well inside and out now, and I don't have anything to spend money on, even sending servants to do things. You don't have to pay, isn't it just idle if you keep it?
"If you don't treat Auntie as an outsider, what is the difference between you and me?"

Shen Xi didn't say any more, tried on the clothes, but they were neither too wide nor too tight, as if they were made out of a mold, and the reputation of Yuxiu Zhuang was indeed well-deserved.

Looking at the stitches and threads, as well as the inlay method and the embroidery pattern, they are all the usual techniques used by the Shangyiju Palace.

After putting it on here, I looked in the mirror, only to find that everyone in the room was silent.

Turning around to look at them, Zhuzhu was the first to marvel: "I didn't realize it at first, but with this dress on, the girl is really——there is so much demeanor!"

She nodded her forehead and thought of the word!

"Yes!" Everyone came up with amazement in their eyes, and Yuan Bei couldn't speak very fluently: "The servant said that people need clothes!

"A girl is beautiful, I mean her face—but she can put on such a Chinese dress, and her demeanor is more like a graceful and luxurious lady than the Second Miss Han in Han Ge's old mansion!"

"Exactly!" Ping Shuang Ping Xue and the others couldn't move their eyes from looking at Shen Xi.

Shen Xi laughed when she heard the words, she wore such gorgeous clothes too much, and she heard too many compliments like this, her heart was already full of tears.

Zhang Ying is not as beautiful as the original owner, but she is a bit more charming than her.

What she paid attention to was the "Second Miss Han" Yuan Bei was talking about!
"Is the second young lady of the Han family famous?" Shen Xi asked while changing clothes.

"Very famous!" Aunt Pei stepped forward to help, "She is the cousin of Mr. Han Ge, the second daughter of the second master of the Han family, and the granddaughter that their old lady loves and is proud of.

"I heard the old lady's true biography. She is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is good at blending fragrance and tea. She is one of the best real ladies in Tuoba."

Hearing this, the corners of Shen Xi's lips curled up.Does Mrs. Wen dare to say that she is proficient in everything?Even she dare not say proficient in it!

However, she only lived in the Zhang Mansion for a few years, and now that the Helian nobles are almost extinct, it's her turn to pretend to be a noble?

She picked up the lotus seed soup on the table and took a bite.

But his mind wandered back and forth, and in the end he still wandered back to Ji Jinzhi's piece of jade.

I just looked at Ji Jinzhi's attire, although it is decent, there is nothing special worth mentioning except for the jade. It can be seen that the Ji family is not so rich that they can really grab gold and silver treasures at will.

That being the case, isn't the origin of that piece of jade even more suspicious?

Although it seemed absurd to always stare at other people's private belongings, the original owner's property was calculated for no reason.

As relatives of the Shen family, the Ji family not only knew the situation of the Shen family quite well, but also knew the situation of the original owner very well. In addition, the Ji family has suddenly become rich in the past two years. Isn't this a reason for people to be suspicious?

Ji Peng went south to do business in his early years, and he didn't return until last year. Although the time when the original owner lost his money didn't exactly coincide, he also had the time to commit the crime.

Then Ji Jinzhi's piece of jade, and the wealth of the Ji family in the past two years, are enough to prove that they are quite suspicious!

Will it be them?
Aunt Pei and the others called Shen Liang to try on new clothes, while she leaned against the window thinking.

--Yes!
She suddenly thought that if the jade was really a relic of Shen Chongxin and his wife, then there might be a record in the accounts left by the Hu family!
So he looked back at Aunt Pei and the others who were chatting and joking, got up and went into the back room, and turned out the pile of tents again.

From it, I found the detailed list of private property of the year, and looked down line by line, and there was indeed a column dedicated to Yuxiao!

There are more than [-] items in total, but when the Hu family built this file, they never thought of showing it to others, so the name is quite simple, nothing more than Hetian Ziyu, sheep fat jade bracelets and the like.

There are also four or five items of glass species, but it is not written whether it is carved jade or raw jade, imperial green or emerald.

Ji Jinzhi's is the glass species, but it is impossible to verify whether her glass species is one of Hu's list.

She was confused again.

It seems that no conclusive evidence can be found in this account book.

She hugged the notebook again and remained silent for a while, then suddenly she walked out of the door and called Ping Shuang under the curtain, "Call Wang Er over here."

Wanger arrived at Lixiangyuan after a while.

Shen Xi avoided the people in the courtyard, and said to him in the front yard: "Go and inquire about the situation of the Ji family, Huang family, Wu family, Liu family, Feng family, and Zheng family, as well as those who have deep acquaintance with the Shen family. Friends neighbors.

"See if these families have suddenly become better off in the past three years.

"Especially the Ji family, ask more about their family's money situation.

"Besides, the Liu family should also focus on inquiring clearly. I don't care about your time, but keep everything secret, so as not to alarm others."

Wang'er nodded and walked out.
