Chapter 15 The little girl is so refreshing (2)
Gu Xiaobei walked home after leaving the Bai family compound. Although there were not many harvesting jobs at home, people in the village had already started harvesting. They were going to help other people's houses harvest. Two help.

When he reached the intersection at the head of the village, Gu Xiaobei stopped suddenly, squatted down in surprise, picked up something from the ground, and looked at it carefully. It turned out to be a piece of exquisite jade pendant. It was so compelling that even Gu Xiaobei, who was not very familiar with jade, could see that this jade pendant was very valuable.

Unexpectedly, who would drop a piece of jade pendant in this mountain village?Gu Xiaobei thought of Bai Qingli's family first.

Nanmen Village is not very big, and there are no big landlords in the village. Almost every household in the villagers is relatively poor, so it is impossible for anyone to afford such an expensive jade pendant. The only ones are Bai Qingli's family who have just settled in the village.

Although their family does not hire servants, Gu Xiaobei just saw the furnishings of the Bai family. Although it is not very rich and prosperous, it is many times better than other families in the village. Only their family can afford such a jade pendant.

Gu Xiaobei frowned, remembering how stiff he had been with Bai Qingli just now, he hesitated for a while, should he go back and give it to him now?

Just when Gu Xiaobei hadn't decided whether to go to Bai's house now or change it another day, one or two exquisite carriages slowly drove up on the main road at the head of the village, and finally stopped at the entrance of the village.

As soon as the carriage stopped, the door curtain was lifted and the two young men jumped down quickly. After getting off the ground, they looked eagerly at the ground, as if they were looking for something.

Looking at the two strangers, Gu Xiaobei heaved a sigh of relief seeing this situation, it seems that this jade pendant seems to belong to someone else!Then I don't have to go to Bai's house now.

At this time, the two young men who were looking for things also saw Gu Xiaobei. A young man in gray clothes came over and bowed to Gu Xiaobei, and asked very politely: "Hi girl! My son lost a jade pendant nearby. Can you find it?" Did you get an emerald jade pendant?"

"You lied to me, right? You are not from this village, are you? Why did you leave the jade pendant here?" Although the jade pendant was in her hands, Gu Xiaobei still made a sound to test it out. Hand over the jade pendant.

"This." The gray-clothed boy hesitated a little. His son came to Nanmen Village because he was busy with the eldest lady. If it was revealed to the eldest lady's ears someday, it would definitely cause trouble for the young master.

"Little girl is so cautious!" At this time, a clear voice suddenly came from the carriage parked at the entrance of the village, and a slender and strong hand with well-defined knuckles slowly opened the curtain, revealing a handsome face.

This person was dressed in a brocade and navy blue gown, and looked about the same size as Bai Qingli, not as handsome as Bai Qingli, but more calm than Bai Qingli. What surprised Gu Xiaobei even more was that this man looked The skin of the aristocrat who looks like a wealthy family is not as fair as the other aristocrats, but leans towards wheat color, which makes him look healthier.

Just as Gu Xiaobei was sizing him up, the young man in Tsing Yi quickly glanced up and down at her. Although the little girl in front of him was wearing patched coarse clothes, she still couldn't conceal her flexible and intelligent temperament, especially those big eyes. Twinkle very aura.

The young man in Tsing Yi got out of the car and walked slowly to Gu Xiaobei, and bowed politely: "Little girl, I am Shangguan Shijin, the eldest son of the Shangguan family in the county, and my nanny is Chen Liu in this village. I came to see her when she was seriously ill, and accidentally lost a jade pendant on the way back, so I went all the way back to find it." There was a smile on the corner of her mouth, making her feel like a spring breeze.

Gu Xiaobei heard the second brother talk about the Shanguan family in the county, and she still has some impressions. This Shangguan family owns thousands of acres of land and runs a grain business. It is very rich, and it is one of the top ten rich families in the county.

"I picked up a jade pendant but it doesn't necessarily belong to you. Unless you can prove that the jade pendant is yours, I won't give it to you easily." Gu Xiaobei also returned a gift, and then said plainly.

Shangguan Shijin smiled slightly and said: "The most distinctive feature of this jade pendant is that it is inlaid with gold powder with a small word '世' on it, and the word '世' is in my handwriting. If the girl doesn't believe me, we can go to the county to find an appraisal together. the masters of authenticating handwriting."

"There's no need to go to the county, I trust you, here, here you are!" Gu Xiaobei handed him the jade pendant in her hand, she didn't have time to go to the county.

"Thank you, girl!" Shangguan Shijin took the jade pendant, his hands were warm, and there was still Gu Xiaobei's breath on it, he put away the jade pendant, and handed Gu Xiaobei a heavy bag of money from the boy next to him.

"What are you doing?" Gu Xiaobei frowned.

Shangguan Shijin smiled gently: "This is a thank you gift for you."

Gu Xiaobei readily took the purse from his hand and opened it, took an ingot of five taels of silver from it, and returned the purse to Shangguan Shijin, smiling slightly: "I only take what I deserve."

Shangguan Shijin was taken aback for a moment, then laughed in an instant: "The little girl is so refreshing!"

If other girls picked up this jade pendant, some might greedily ask for this large bag of silver and even refuse to give it back to him, some might be shy and dare not take the gift, and some might even try every means to try it. Gao climbed up to him, but the little girl took a piece of silver, which showed that she was not a cowardly person or a greedy person, and it also showed that she had settled with herself and would not be entangled anymore.

"She doesn't take me, I'm her cousin." At this moment, a figure suddenly ran over, reaching out to grab the money bag in Shangguan Shijin's hand, but he couldn't.

"Oh? Your cousin?" Shangguan Shijin confirmed to Gu Xiaobei in surprise, but he didn't let go of his hands. If her relatives need him, they can give it to him, but the premise is that this person is a relative with whom she has a good relationship. .

"No, don't give him money." Gu Xiaobei rolled Gu Muren's eyes, coldly dismissed it, and slightly nodded at Shangguan Shijin: "I have something at home, so let's leave it alone." After finishing speaking, he turned around without looking at Gu Muren. Continue to walk home.

When Gu Muren passed by just now, he heard the conversation between the two of them, expecting that Gu Xiaobei would take the silver so that he could take it over, but Gu Xiaobei only took one ingot of silver and returned the purse, he rushed away in a panic come over.

He knew that if Gu Xiaobei didn't speak, he couldn't take away the purse from Shangguan Shijin's hand. Seeing that Gu Xiaobei was about to leave, he hurriedly stepped forward to hold Gu Xiaobei and said viciously: "Your second brother made me unable to worship Carpenter Qian as my master. Let me If you can’t make a fortune, you have to take that bag of money and give it to me as compensation, or I’ll make you look good today!”

Gu Xiao saw that it was her big cousin, Gu Mulin, and stared at him coldly: "We brothers and sisters haven't settled with you for what you did, how dare you appear in front of me?"
