The lucky star of rebirth

Chapter 70 Jade Seal
"fool!"

Ji Songxian stretched out his tender white fingers and shook in front of Cheng Huaijin: "What are you looking at, the eyeballs are all right."

Cheng Huaijin reached out and grabbed her fingers, holding her fingers tightly, making Ji Songxian unable to pull them back: "I hid a light boat in the lotus room, with a lot of food on it, why don't you go get the boat with me first?"

"Okay." Ji Songxian hadn't been boating on the lake yet, so he was naturally happy to try it.

Cheng Huaijin took her by the hand to the lake. There were several weeping willows by the lake, and a thicker willow was tied with a rope. Cheng Huaijin untied the rope and took her hand, and a light boat slowly floated on the water. On the boat, there is oar on the boat, and a small table is set up, full of various fruits and a jug of wine.

Cheng Huaijin jumped onto the boat first, turned around and stretched out his hand to Ji Songxian, Ji Songxian took his hand and jumped onto the boat, took a few steps to sit at the table, picked up a grape and took a bite, his mouth was full of sour and sweet With a sweet and cool taste, Ji Songxian smiled: "Is this grape chilled?"

Cheng Huaijin sat across from her and pointed at the apples, pears, etc.: "These are also chilled. Although eating in summer is good for the heat, it is cold after all. You should eat less."

While talking, he took out a large plate of dim sum from under the table. The small dim sum was shaped like a plum blossom, and the skin was as thin as paper. Through the skin, one could see the red filling inside. When one glanced at it, it was crystal clear, and it was really red. The plums seemed to fall from the tree, which made Ji Songxian love him so much. He reached out to pick up a piece and tasted it. Immediately, he was confused by the deliciousness of the dim sum, and couldn't help squinting his eyes slightly, with a look of great enjoyment: "This dim sum is good, the skin is delicious. It is crispy with a fragrance, the filling is soft and glutinous, and it melts as soon as you taste it, and there is an indescribable sweetness, um, there is even the aroma of plum blossoms. What kind of dessert is this, and where did you buy it? Tell me quickly Me, I'll buy some when I go back."

Seeing that she likes to eat, Cheng Huaijin pushed a plate of dim sum in front of her: "If you like to eat, eat more. You can't buy these outside. If you like them, you can take them home. Tell me after you finish eating. I'll give them to you." You send it."

Ji Songxian nodded and looked at him, pouted and said: "You are talking nonsense, don't think I don't know, I saw it when I went to Jinyiwei that day, you are probably very fond of sweets, this dessert is probably very suitable for you Yes, and he said he doesn’t like food, I’m afraid it’s because he doesn’t like it, so he knows it’s a lie.”

Ji Songxian didn't know why, but felt that his temperament was more lively now, and he was very relaxed in front of Cheng Huaijin, without any restraint: "You must like it, so you just say these things against your will."

While talking, she picked up a snack and sent it to Cheng Huaijin: "I don't know how to eat alone, um, I'll give you one."

"I don't often eat sweets." Cheng Huaijin ate a snack in Ji Songxian's hand, and turned his head away awkwardly. Ji Songxian saw the redness of his neck protruding from his collar, and immediately lowered his head to steal Laughing, I really didn't expect that the President, who is cruel and stern in front of outsiders, would be shy.

"Is this made by the imperial dining room in the palace?" Ji Songxian asked again: "Sure enough, it's something in the palace, it's just different from the outside."

Cheng Huaijin shook her head, the blush on her neck almost crawled to her cheeks: "It's not from the palace, I do it myself when I have nothing to do."

"What?" Ji Songxian was taken aback, and asked in surprise, because he asked too urgently, he choked and coughed several times before he could catch his breath: "You, what did you do? You... the dignified Commander of Jin Yiwei Even make snacks?"

She asked along the way, spread out her hands and looked at the tender white palms: "I don't even know how to do this, what should I do?"

Ji Songxian was startled and worried. What was surprising was that Cheng Huaijin, an old man, liked to cook when he had nothing to do. What was worrying was that her cooking skills were not very good, and she could cook a few home-cooked dishes, but this She can't get delicate and delicious snacks, what if Cheng Huaijin despises her?
Cheng Huaijin curled her lips, stretched out her hand to touch the top of Ji Songxian's head, and said comfortingly: "It's okay, I will do it, and I will make it with you in the future."

Ah!
Ji Songxian didn't know what it was like in his heart, he took several deep breaths before suppressing the turbulent feelings, raised his head and smiled at Cheng Huaijin: "I will learn more in the future, and I will do it with you."

After laughing, she asked Cheng Huaijin again: "How did you learn to do this?"

At this time, she was really curious, and she never imagined that such a cold-blooded and ruthless commander of Chengda was busy in the kitchen.

Cheng Huaijin looked ahead, as if thinking about something: "I used to live on the mountain with my master. I never had any servants to serve me. I have to do my own food, clothing, housing and transportation. The master is lazy and greedy. When I was five or six years old, I would cook. He entrusted me with the matter, and gave me many lost recipes for me to learn, and over time, I practiced a good cooking skill."

Ji Songxian listened with a long sigh: "I didn't expect that your life was not very easy when you were a child. In comparison, I am much better than you. Because of the love of my family, it is useless for me to do it. It was when my family was poor. I have never had any worries, all the housework is done by my mother and sisters-in-law, so I don’t need me for things like cooking.”

Speaking of this, Ji Songxian thought that when Cheng Huaijin was so young, he started to cook around the pot and stove. I am afraid that at that time, others were not as high as the pot, and they might have to step on the board to get the pot. Don't know how he survived.

Thinking of this, she suddenly felt infinite resentment towards Duke Cheng. If it wasn't for Duke Cheng being so inferior to a beast and having no father-son relationship, why would Cheng Huaijin suffer so much.

Stretching out his hand, Ji Songxian picked up the jug and poured two glasses of wine, raised his glass with Cheng Huaijin and said with a smile: "I have never rowed a boat before, so drink a glass of wine to strengthen your courage before rowing."

The two had a toast, and Ji Songxian picked up the boat and smiled at Cheng Huaijin: "I wish to read a poem, in which it was written that I returned to the boat late at the end of my time, strayed into the depths of the lotus flower, struggled to cross, struggled to cross, and was shocked." Thinking of a gull-heron, I had many fantasies, but I don't know what the scene is, today we also strayed into the lotus root flower for a while."

"Okay." Cheng Huaijin smiled and picked up the paddle and rowed lightly, and the boat entered the red and green of the lake.

Ji Songxian really doesn't know how to row a boat. After trying several times, he almost fell into the lake. He only said that he didn't have the talent, so he gave up regretfully, and sat on the boat with his chin in his hands, pretending that Huai Jin was rowing alone. Walk slowly among the large red lotuses.

Not long after, the scorching sun was in the sky, Ji Songxian looked at the sky, reached out and picked a lotus leaf and put it on top of her head. She thought it was very fun, so she picked another lotus leaf and put it on top of Cheng Huaijin, shaking her head and laughing: "You look a little bit like this." Like a fisherman."

"You are a beautiful fisherman who is just perfect for a fisherman." Cheng Huaijin teased, put down the oars, stretched out his hands and put them on the back of his head, lying on the boat and staring at the sky. Ji Songxian also followed his example and lay down slowly. He also joked with Cheng Huaijin: "Do you think we would be shocked if someone came in by boat and saw us?"

Cheng Huaijin didn't answer, Ji Songxian said to himself: "If someone really comes, you can just take your waist card and shout, Jin Yiwei handles the case, idlers and others get out of the way, and those who are in custody don't even dare to look at them, they all run away , and it runs as fast as it flies.”

She talked and laughed, and Cheng Huaijin couldn't help laughing out loud. Ji Songxian violently removed the lotus leaf on Cheng Huaijin's head, and saw that his eyes were like crescent moons, and his brows and eyes were full of smiles. Smiling is more beautiful than Qingfengmingyue, Ji Songxian was speechless for a while.

She never thought that one day she would go into a daze because of seeing a man's smile. When she woke up, she felt a little helpless and even a little ashamed, so she turned her head and looked around, wanting to take the opportunity to lie down the embarrassment.

The boat was swinging slowly, Ji Songxian suddenly saw something flashing at the bottom of the lake, she took out the paddle to explore, and there seemed to be something hard in the soft mud, Ji Songxian hurriedly said: "There is something at the bottom of the lake." thing."

Cheng Huaijin sat up in surprise, and looked in the direction Ji Songxian pointed, but found nothing.

Ji Songxian always said that there was something at the bottom of the lake, and he had to go and see it. Cheng Huaijin took off his coat and shoes, turned around and jumped into the lake. After a while, he threw a small box into the boat, and he jumped too. go on board.

Ji Songxian took the veil and handed it to Cheng Huaijin, telling him to wipe the water beads off his face, and then pointed to the box: "What is this?"

Cheng Huaijin shook his head: "Who knows."

After wiping the water, Cheng Huaijin went to open the box. The box was tightly locked, but it was not an ordinary lock, but a mechanical lock. Cheng Huaijin looked at it for a long time before moving, and moved the patterns on the box one by one, touching After a quarter of an hour, there was a snap, and the box opened.

The contents of the box were tightly wrapped with a piece of bright yellow silk cloth. Cheng Huaijin was very cautious, wrapped the cloth around his hands before taking out the contents of the box, and then slowly peeled off the outer silk cloth to reveal the The truth of things.

When the object was completely exposed to the sunlight, both Ji Songxian and Cheng Huaijin were stunned.

After a while, Ji Songxian pointed to the thing in Cheng Huaijin's hand and said tremblingly: "This, this is the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom. Didn't you say that it was lost?"

Cheng Huaijin looked at it for a while and nodded: "It is indeed the Jade Seal of the Kingdom. It is said that it has been lost in the previous dynasty. Who would have expected that it would be in the lake of Lianhuashan Jade? No wonder the Emperor Taizu sent people to search for it many times before. fruit."

Ji Songxian was not only amazed at finding the jade seal, but also amazed at her good luck, as if her luck was getting better and better.

She was thinking about the boat, and a few fish jumped out of the water and jumped onto the boat. Ji Songxian held it down: "I happened to take it back to make fish soup for mother."

As soon as she finished speaking, the fish spat out a bright pearl.

Ji Songxian was completely dumbfounded, this is too...

She thought, could it be that she is God's own daughter, otherwise why would all good things happen to her?

Cheng Huaijin was also a little dazed, she never thought that her unmarried daughter-in-law would have such amazing luck, it seemed that all the big good things that day would go to her side with all her strength.

After being in a daze, Cheng Huaijin rolled up the jade seal and stuffed it into his arms, and said to Ji Songxian: "When I go back, I will enter the palace and give this object to Your Majesty. After all, it is orthodox to have the jade seal. When Taizu was in the country, there were several The aristocratic family made an attack, only saying that the Taizu did not pass on the jade seal of the country, it is not considered orthodox at all, and the country cannot be stable. If your majesty takes out the jade seal, think about it, it will definitely be more prestigious than the queen mother in the court or among the people. In the future, the queen mother will also take your majesty. There is no other way."

Ji Songxian held the fish with one hand and the pearl with the other and nodded foolishly: "Then let's go ashore quickly, after all, we can play any day, but this jade seal is a big deal."

Cheng Huaijin also nodded, stretched out the oars and paddled quickly, and the boat docked in a short while.
