The ghost-catching princess, she always pretends to be weak

Chapter 51 The Secret of the Jade Pendant

The two windows were half-open.

The cold winter air poured in from the window.

Chen's mother walked into Chen Shu's room carrying the freshly brewed medicine.

"Ashu, drink the medicine first."

"mother."

When Chen Shu saw Chen's mother coming in, he quickly put down the pen in his hand, stepped forward and took the tray.

"How many times have I told you to close this window? You, as an adult, don't know how to take care of yourself. How can you let my mother feel at ease?"

Mother Chen walked to the window and closed it. The room suddenly became much warmer.

"The winter in the capital is much colder than in our Boyang County. You haven't recovered from the cold for several days, and you have to deal with so many things every day."

"Nothing, just drink a few more medicines and I'll be fine."

Chen Shu's eyebrows relaxed a little, and his expression finally became gentler.

"This jade pendant"

Mother Chen saw the jade pendant on the table at a glance. She had seen it many times.

For so many years, every time she came late at night to bring some food, and occasionally helped Chen Shu cover the clothes while he was sleeping on the desk, this jade pendant had always been hanging on Chen Shu's desk, or was held tightly in his hand.

Chen Shu's eyes flashed and he quickly put away the jade pendant on the desk.

"Mom, the child and official duties have not been taken care of yet." Chen Shu reminded.

Mother Chen raised her eyes to look at him, a sigh flashed in her eyes.

"You have been reluctant to discuss marriage. I know there is someone in your heart. She must be the girl who gave you this jade pendant."

She knew her son, Mo Ruomu, and she had seen Chen Shu staring at this jade pendant several times, and even more so in the capital.

Chen Shu's men paused, a trace of panic flashing in their eyes.

"Will we meet again?"

Chen Shu still bowed his head and said nothing, and Chen's mother took it as his acquiescence.

"If we met, why didn't we express our gratitude?"

Chen's mother knew in her heart that this person was the one who introduced Chen Shu to Mrs. Wen. A woman with such ability would definitely have a good status, or even an excellent one.

"My child, you are smart, cautious, and thoughtful. Mother just hopes that you won't be confused about this matter. If it's not ours, we won't want it, okay?"

"Mom, you are worrying too much, there is no such person."

Chen Shuxiao has wanted Wen Jiujiu for many years. This is the biggest unspeakable thing in his life.

Mother Chen could only order until she finished, holding the empty bowl and closing the door.

There was still a slight smell of medicine in the house, which was bitter.

Chen Shu stood up and pushed open the window that had just been closed. His knuckled fingers pressed against the window lattice without moving, his brows and eyes filled with coldness.

Unknowingly, the weather is getting colder at the end of the year.

Zhiyuting

Through the window in winter, the light is in the case, which is very comfortable.

"Your injuries are almost healed now. I have been away from Changning City for a while, and I am planning to go back in the next two days." Jiang Yaoxi was holding a tea cup, feeling refreshed without a ghost hunting order.

"Senior sister." Wen Jiu put down the script in his hand, feeling a little reluctant. After all, he didn't know when the next meeting would be.

"It's been a ghost hunt since we came to the capital, and we haven't had much fun yet." Seeing Wen Jiu's aggrieved face, Jiang Yaoxi smiled, stood up and walked to the window: "The weather is nice today, so let's go to the busiest market. Let's go shopping." "Listen to senior sister." Under the transparent window paper, Wen Jiu looked sweet and gentle.

When the two arrived at the Western Market, it was the busiest time of the market.

There are horse-drawn carriages coming and going here at any time day and night, and all kinds of goods are transported here. There are tea stalls, noodle stalls, and taverns on both sides of the bluestone street.

Most of the ordinary people in Beijing live in the alleys that extend in all directions before and after the market. It was very lively in the past. Today, I don't know whether it is due to the weather or something, but everyone seems to be concentrated here, and the noise is even more noisy.

The two got off the carriage not far from the market. When the vendors saw someone getting off the carriage, they started shouting louder.

"It's so lively here, can you see clearly with your hat on?" Jiang Yaoxi is used to being free and has never cared about these red tapes.

"Although I can't see clearly, I can hear clearly."

Wen Jiu naughtily lifted his hat and smiled mischievously at Jiang Yaoxi.

"I'm too lazy to talk to you. Let's go buy some pancakes."

The owner of the pancake stall was working hard, and the charcoal fire in the stove was crackling and steaming.

Pancake stand? Isn't it right here?
  Wen Jiu suddenly turned her head. She remembered this pancake stall. The alley it faced was the residence of Mr. Chen Shuchen.

I saw a few children playing Cuju in the alley, and a few women who had just finished shopping and carrying baskets passed by in the alley, and were startled by flying objects coming from the sky.

Just when he was about to open his mouth to say something, the children dispersed with a smile of success on their faces.

Wen Jiu suddenly felt a little lucky in his heart. Fortunately, he survived. Fortunately.

"What are you looking at?" Jiang Yaoxi turned around with the pancakes in her arms. Seeing Wen Jiu staring at the alley in a daze, she couldn't help but feel wary, "Is there anything dirty again?"

"Ah, no." Wen Jiu quickly denied, "Senior sister, these pancakes look delicious. Why don't you buy more? I want to eat them too."

"I've bought a lot." Jiang Yaoxi raised her hand a little higher, "Well, isn't this enough for you?"

Wen Jiu didn't even look at it. He pushed her to the stall and said, "Boss, bake ten more."

"What?" Jiang Yaoxi and the stall owner stared at each other, ten pictures?
  Does everyone in the whole yard have to eat it?
  The wooden door suddenly opened from the inside, and the lantern under the eaves swayed slightly. Before Wen Jiu could react, he caught a glimpse of a rickety figure from the corner of his eye.

I saw an old woman walking out with a basket. Wen Jiu raised her silk hat slightly. This person must be Chen Shu's mother.

Her face is covered with dust accumulated over the years, her eyes are a little cloudy but she looks kind and approachable. She is dressed like the most ordinary old woman in Beijing, simple and concise, and her eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to Chen Miao. .

Mother Chen turned around and happened to catch Wen Jiu's probing gaze.

When she saw Wen Jiu's face, he looked about the same size as Chen Miao, cute and cute, so she smiled generously and said, "Miss, are you looking for someone?"

"Ah, I'm just passing by." Wen Jiu put down his silk hat in a hurry, feeling a little embarrassed, but he still bowed slightly to her.

"Oh, I thought the girl was looking for someone."

Mother Chen smiled at Wen Jiu and tried to close the door. She didn't pay attention to the steps under her feet and missed them.

"what--"

"Auntie, be careful!"

Wen Jiu was so shocked that he subconsciously channeled his inner strength and moved lightly.

Mother Chen only felt a red figure flash past, and Wen Jiu had firmly supported her.

Mother Chen felt so frightened that if she fell, she would have to lie down for several days.

"Mom, I'll go to the streets with you." A man's calm voice came from the room.

Wen Jiu's body froze, and there was a "buzzing" sound in his head, and he subconsciously looked there.

When the person inside the door came out, Wen Jiu saw clearly that this person was tall and tall. He was dressed in a clean and simple blue shirt. He was extremely simple. Who else could he be if he wasn't Chen Shu?
  　Am I really in the third round of PK? Why am I so quietly whining?
