Chapter 63 Reiki

Mrs. Gu regained her composure. She grabbed the armrest of the chair with one hand and softened her voice a little: "Yan Fei, it's good that you can figure it out. Everything Grandma does is for the consideration of the Hou family, and it's also for your elder brother, for the sake of you." Hello yourself."

"Since you don't want to marry into the Fang family, grandma can decide to agree to you."

Mrs. Gu said some comforting words to Gu Yanfei in a nice voice.

Gu Yanfei smiled lightly again, as bright as stars in the night sky, and just asked: "What's the use of that jade pendant?"

In other words, what kind of secrets does this jade pendant hide from the British government, so that the British princess will get it at all costs, and this is the case in both lifetimes.

"..." Madam Gu looked up at Gu Yanfei, pursed her lips and remained silent, her body tensed slightly.

She rubbed her thumb subconsciously on the Buddhist bead, and her thoughts turned rapidly, as if hesitating and weighing the pros and cons.

The night wind howled, scraping the branches and leaves recklessly, blowing the hem of their clothes, and the candles in the lanterns flickered on and off.

All the servants around did not dare to make a sound, and looked down at the toe of the shoe.

For Gu Yanfei, the more Mrs. Gu acted like this, the more certain she would be.

This jade pendant is very important, very good!

The corners of Gu Yanfei's lips raised again, and he suddenly raised his hand, and took out a jade pendant from the box held by Juan Bi, and lifted it up high, as if about to smash it...

Under the backlight, the jade pendant in her hand was not very clear, Mrs. Gu could only vaguely see that it was a round jade pendant.

"stop!"

Mrs. Gu suddenly opened her eyes wide, unable to hide her shock and panic.

If Gu Yanfei really smashed the jade pendant, then he would not be able to explain to the British government, and Gu and Fang would be in a deadlock!

Nothing can happen to this jade pendant!

The blue veins on Mrs. Gu's forehead were jumping wildly, it was obviously cold winter, but beads of sweat rolled down from the corner of her forehead.

Her cold gaze was fixed on Gu Yanfei, and the two looked at each other, engaging in a silent stalemate.

Silence spread.

At this moment, even the wind stopped, and the shadows of the trees in the dark were all still.

Mrs. Gu's breathing became thicker and her chest heaved more and more intensely. Slowly, her whole body began to calm down again, her eyes settled down, as if she had made some kind of decision.

After a while, Mrs. Gu waved her hand.

The maids and women around her immediately understood, and silently backed away.

Juan Bi, who was holding the box, looked at Gu Yanfei's face, and stepped back five or six feet.

Only their grandparents and grandchildren were left around, everything was silent, and the lanterns went away with the retreat of the servants.

In a radius of several zhang, only the silver moonlight was left pouring down from the night sky, sprinkled silver frost all over the ground.

Gu Yanfei was still standing, with light clothes and a long skirt dragging the floor;

Mrs. Gu sat on the shoulder chair, looking old and haggard.

Mrs. Gu cleared her throat, and confessed in a low voice: "The British lady really wants a jade pendant."

Once you start, it's much easier to move on.

Mrs. Gu straightened out her thoughts and said eloquently: "Fifty years ago in May, Emperor Taizu led his troops into the capital. On the day the capital was broken, the last emperor of the previous dynasty burned down the capital. The city, together with the empress, concubines, and princes and daughters, all died in the sea of ​​fire."

"Then the surname of the successor of the last emperor is Yu, which comes from the Yu family in Yingchuan."

"She is the eldest aunt of the British Duchess."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Gu paused for a moment, her eyes flickered, as if she remembered some old things.

Gu Yanfei didn't urge her, just looked at her steadfastly.

After a while, Mrs. Gu continued: "After your mother got married, I noticed that there was a jade pendant in her dowry. This jade pendant belonged to Empress Yu back then... I have seen it before."

Mrs. Gu's maiden name is Qi, in Yingchuan, Yuzhou, although it is not a well-known family, it is also a well-known big family in the local area. When she was young, Mrs. Gu also went to Yu's house to play, and met the honorable Empress Yu.

On the day of Empress Yu's wedding, according to local customs, boys and girls were required to say auspicious words to the bride. Mrs. Gu Tai was also called to go because she was young at that time. She once saw the aunt of the Yu family wearing this A piece of jade pendant.

This jade pendant is rare, especially the carving is the handicraft of Master Lu, a local sculptor in Yingchuan. The phoenix pattern is carved vividly and exquisitely, and it is obviously different from ordinary jade pendants in that the phoenix head has no eyes.

Therefore, Mrs. Gu could spot it at a glance.

Thinking of the past so many years ago, Mrs. Gu felt a little bit sad.

The prosperity and excitement of that year is still before our eyes, but now it has changed, and things have changed.

Mrs. Gu calmed down, and then opened her lips again: "Fourteen years ago, shortly after my sister's son arrived in the capital, the British princess came to ask for his son's marriage."

Back then, the British government was far stronger than the Dingyuanhou's, and it is still the same now.

However, the Hou's government temporarily proposed to change the candidate for the marriage, but the British government did not object. Even, the last time the British princess came, she also expressed her intention to marry this family. Whoever it is, this marriage cannot be regretted.

Mrs. Gu is not a fool either, she has already sensed it, and Mrs. British has made it clear that she has other plans.

As for Mrs. Gu, the only thing that can make the other party have a picture is the phoenix pattern jade pendant.

Gu Yanfei raised her hand to brush her hair that was blown away by the night wind, and asked casually: "If that jade pendant really belongs to the Yu family, why is it in my mother's dowry?"

"I don't know about that." Mrs. Gu sighed quietly, lowered her face and coughed a few times, looking weak and haggard.

She wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, stretched out her hand to Gu Yanfei again, and said in a pleasant manner: "Yanfei, give me the jade pendant."

Gu Yanfei stared deeply at Mrs. Gu, as if she wanted to see through her inside and out, and then she put the jade pendant back into her sleeve pocket.

Mrs. Gu, who was trying to put on an amiable look at first, turned her face as if she was flipping a book, her eyes gleamed with a sinister light, and her hands froze in mid-air.

Gu Yanfei flicked his sleeves with a smile that was not a smile, and stood with his hands behind his back leisurely, with a crisp voice: "Don't worry, Mrs. Tai, I am standing with the Gu family. When Mrs. Tai needs a jade pendant, I will give it to you."

After a pause, she added slowly, "However, not now."

"If Mrs. Tai is okay, I will continue to take stock of my mother's dowry."

"..." Mrs. Gu's expression became even uglier.

Before she came here, she was determined to force Gu Yanfei to hand over the key, but now, she even handed over her trump card.

A piece of residual leaf was blown by the evening wind, and happened to fall between Mrs. Gu's temples, she didn't notice it.

Gu Yanfei ignored her, turned around, and called Juan Bi into the small warehouse together.

After entering the room, she spread her right palm.

On the palm is a suet white jade pendant engraved with a circle of phoenix patterns.

This jade pendant was picked out by Gu Yanfei from several jade pendants in Xie's dowry.

She was sure that this piece was what the British princess wanted, because among the things in the warehouse, only this piece of jade pendant released a faint aura.

This aura comes from the jade itself.

In fact, its aura is very weak. If it were in the Yaoling world, it would not even be as good as a low-grade spirit stone, and it is far from being a treasure of heaven and earth. Gu Yanfei would not even take a look at it, but in this small world, just It seemed extremely rare.
