The lucky star of rebirth

Chapter 9 Treasure
"Father, mother..."

Ji Yi and Wu Shi had just fallen asleep when they heard a knock on the door. The couple turned over and sat up cleverly. Ji Yi got out of bed neatly and opened the door with his clothes on.

Under the moonlight, I saw my little Ba Jizhen's face was pale, and he said tremblingly: "Father, mother, hurry up, hurry up, sister Xian..."

"What's wrong with Sister Xian?" When Wu Shi heard that her little daughter was in trouble, her legs went limp from fright, and she held onto Ji Yi's hand to stand still.

Ji Yi's face also changed: "Sister Xian, tell me quickly, how is Sister Xian?"

Ji Zhen supported Ji Yi and Wu Shi one by one: "Follow my son to have a look."

"Hurry up." Ji Yi said anxiously, and the Wu family also walked forward quickly, and the three of them entered Ji Songxian's yard in a short time.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw a pile of soil piled up under the crabapple tree, and Ji Songxian stood aside, looking at the three of them with a smile on his face, Ji Yi heaved a sigh of relief: "What are you doing, Miss Xian?"

"My son, if you don't like this crabapple tree, don't worry about Ming Erniang asking your brother to cut it down and plant another tree next to it." Wu moved forward tremblingly.

Ji Songxian hurried over to support Wu Shi, and gave Ji Zhen another look: "What did you say to your parents, I think it scared your parents."

Only then did Ji Zhen realize that his words were misleading, so he frightened his parents, and hurriedly bowed his hands in salute: "Father and mother, it's the son, isn't it? It scared the two elders, but this matter... oh , see for yourself."

Ji Yi had already walked over, and by the moonlight, he saw something in the mound under the crabapple tree. Looking carefully, it was actually an iron box.

"What is this?" Ji Yi asked suspiciously.

Ji Zhen said quickly: "My son sent Xiao Jiu back to the yard. Before leaving, Xiao Jiu said that it was really hard for her mother to weave, so she thought it would be great if she had a large amount of gold and silver, and said that she would look at it now. Everything is glittering with gold, seeing the golden light under the crabapple tree, my son teased her to dig quickly with a shovel, maybe she could dig out the treasure, but she didn't want Xiao Jiu to be serious, so she wanted to accompany her to dig together ,result……"

Ji Zhen pointed at the iron box, and it goes without saying that he just dug out such a thing.

"What's in here?" Wu's voice was all wrong when he spoke.

Ji Songxian waved his hand: "My eighth brother and I didn't open it, so we don't know what it is."

Ji Zhen stretched out his hand and moved the box out with great effort, Ji Songxian smiled: "It's better to open it in the room."

"Just fight here." Ji Yi said with a downcast face: "Who knows what's inside, just in case... If something bad is brought into the house, it won't work."

Wu Shi also nodded: "Yes, yes, what the baby said is right, just open it here."

Ji Songxian couldn't help laughing, every time he heard Mrs. Wu call out Ji Yi's baby who was so old, he really couldn't bear to laugh and suffer.

"Oh." Ji Zhen promised with a shovel to pry off the corroded lock on the iron box, and slowly opened the box.

Under the moonlight, as soon as the box was opened, I felt dazzled. The top layer of the box was actually a whole set of small glazed utensils, including a small kettle and six small cups. Ji Songxian saw a lot of good things. I was still surprised to see such a small and delicate glazed utensil: "This glazed cup is really delicate."

She squatted down and carefully took out the cup and teapot, and opened the lower floor, which was covered with jewels and jades of various colors, mostly white jade and sapphire, some pearls, agate and amber and so on.

"God." Ji Zhen exclaimed, knelt down and carefully put these jewels on his clothes, Ji Songxian opened another layer, and the bottom layer was wrapped in red velvet cloth. It's gold bars.

"This this……"

Wu pinched Ji Yi hard: "Baby, does it hurt?"

"Hey, of course it hurts." Ji Yi frowned in pain, and heard Wu say again: "That's not a dream."

Ji Yi stroked his forehead: "Why don't you pinch yourself."

"I just can't bear it." Wu Shi has been with Ji Yi all his life, but he has also learned how to draw words.

"Father, mother." Ji Zhen was astonished enough and got up with his jewels in his pocket: "Hey, what are we going to do with these things?"

Ji Songxian also got up and looked at Ji Yi worriedly: "Father, how much is this worth? What are we going to do with these things? Should we keep them for ourselves, or send them back to the owner?"

Wu slapped Ji Songxian on the forehead: "It didn't burn, this kid is talking nonsense, so naturally he kept it, and a fool gave it away."

Ji Yi also nodded: "Of course I have to keep it for myself."

Ji Songxian was startled for a while, staring at Ji Yi with rounded eyes, he couldn't believe it.

Ji Yi smiled: "Silly boy, are you a fool if you have a good name as your father? You have dug up treasures and returned them to others? My father's clear name is because he doesn't want to accept bribes, I'm sorry I only got it out of conscience, but the things I dug in my yard are naturally for my own use. Are you willing to make your mother spin and weave at such an old age? Are you willing to let you and your brother live in poverty? , Who doesn’t want to live a good life, as long as it goes against conscience.”

Speaking of this, Ji Yi let out a long sigh: "The original owner of this house was convicted of a crime in the early years, and later His Majesty gave the house to our family to live in. It is ours, and whatever is dug out of the house is naturally ours. Dad didn't That's stupid, and besides, Dad also knows a word, if you don't take what God gives, you will suffer."

Ji Songxian looked at Ji Yi in a daze, expressing his incomprehension.

Ji Zhen shook his head and smiled wryly: "What Dad said is that we really have to keep this thing for ourselves, otherwise it will be a disaster."

Mrs. Wu hugged Ji Songxian: "Silly girl, no one can tell about the treasures dug out by our family, otherwise I'm afraid there will be no quiet days in the future."

Ji Songxian immediately understood, and really wanted to slap himself hard, how can someone who has died once be so confused, then looked at Ji Yi, and he was very impressed, thinking that no wonder Ji Yi can be a prime minister, He is not only upright, but also mellow. He is a person with great wisdom in life. Thinking about it, he has to learn how to behave well from him in the future.

Looking at Mrs. Wu again, she admires this woman who was born as a peasant woman but is now the prime minister's wife. Although Mrs. Wu is not very literate and probably doesn't read many books, she has lived such an old age. He has been absorbing wisdom from life, and has always been clear about things, which is probably the reason why Ji Yi and her have always been in love with each other.

At this time, Ji Songxian truly recognized, accepted, and admired the couple.

"Move the things into Sister Xian's room, and tell your elder brother to find a way to get rid of them. These things are useless in our house, so it's better to exchange them for silver to be safer." Ji Yi looked at the box and sighed.

But it was Mrs. Wu who pulled Ji Songxian and just smiled: "Our sister Xian is lucky. Others have lived for so many years and have not found that there is treasure under the root of this tree, but our sister Xian found it."

Ji Zhen also nodded vigorously: "What mother said is that if Xiao Jiu survives a catastrophe, he will have future blessings, and his future luck will last forever."

"It's long." Wu Shi nodded happily.

For a while, Ji Yi and Ji Zhen carried the box together into Ji Songxian's room and put it under her bed. Ji Songxian couldn't sleep with these things under her bed, so Wu had to stay with her.

After waiting for Ji Yi and Ji Zhen to go out, Mrs. Wu stroked Ji Songxian's hair and said happily: "Mother's Xianjie is blessed, she is such a good person, and she is the most caring. From now on, we have to be more careful." Pick a good family, the Jing family's mother didn't like her in the first place, so it's good to have divorced now, we still have good choices in the future."

Ji Songxian didn't have much impression of people from the Jing family, and at this time he happily coaxed Mrs. Wu: "Naturally, it's all because the Jing family has no vision. They still don't like a daughter with such an appearance. In the future, they will call her His family married an ugly monster and came back."

Mrs. Wu laughed loudly when she heard this, and the two of them yawned uncontrollably after talking for a while, and fell asleep after a while.

On the second day, Ji Songxian woke up and got ready to meet Ji Yi. She walked forward, and Wu called Ji Gang and Ji Jiang to carry away the box under her bed. As for what to do with the things in the box, Ji Songxian really didn't know. She had cared about it, but she only knew that the Wu family had sent her a set of face masks within two days. Presumably, all the things in the box had been exchanged for money.

Ji Songxian also did some calculations when he was free. Those things were expensive, and if they were exchanged for money, they would cost tens of thousands of taels. In this way, the life of Ji's family should be much easier, at least they don't need Wu to take them with them. The daughters-in-law weaved and embroidered to get by.

A few days later, Mrs. Wu and her sister-in-law, Mrs. Sun, came to Ji Songxian's house together. Mrs. Wu was in front of her. Mrs. Sun brought a set of clothes into the house. After entering the room, Mrs. Wu pulled Ji Songxian who was sitting and reading a book up: " Good virtuous sister, hurry up and change your clothes to worship the Buddha with your mother."

"Worshiping Buddha?" Ji Songxian was surprised at first, put down the book and asked, "Which temple do you want to go to?"

Mrs. Sun smiled: "Today, many nobles from Jinling City went to the Lingyin Temple's practice meeting. I heard that it was very lively. Mother said that you stay at home all day and don't go out, so I will take you to have a look."

Ji Songxian has also been to Lingyin Temple before, the vegetarian food there is a must, and many ladies have tasted it. Naturally, there will be more people going during the puja.

Ji Songxian thought about the abbot Hui'an of Lingyin Temple, and also thought that that person had mentioned Lingyin Temple before he died, so he remembered something, and said to Wu with a smile: "Mother, can you, can you give it to me?" some silver?"

"How much do you want?" Mrs. Wu didn't ask why, but just asked how much money Ji Songxian wanted.

Ji Songxian thought for a while and then whispered: "Earlier, my daughter was helped by someone, but she is gone now, and she has no children. It is very pitiful. My daughter wanted to ask an eminent monk to add a lamp to her in Lingyin Temple." Buddha lamp, bless her to have a good pregnancy."

Wu smiled: "This is a good thing, and it should be. Why don't you tell your mother the name of that person, and your mother will tell the eminent monk about it."

"Okay." Ji Songxian smiled and said: "Her name is Song Huier, so let's add a Buddhist lamp to her with this name."

Wu wrote down the name, and promised Ji Songxian that he would pay more money to add a big Buddha lamp to Song Huier.

In this way, Ji Songxian changed his clothes with peace of mind, and the three mothers went out of the house, and got into a shabby carriage that Ji Songxian would have despised when they saw it earlier, and drove all the way to Lingyin Temple.
