Chapter 33 Gift of Jade Card

Author: Naughty Gu Gu

The fragrance of scented tea suppressed the faint smell of blood. She secretly exhaled and her smile became brighter.

The rising white mist blurred that bright little face. Gu Tingshu looked down from a high position and glanced across her waist before reaching out to take the tea.

"What did you do today?"

He held the scented tea in his hand with no intention of drinking it. Shen Qiqi did not rush him and extended her hand to invite him to sit down.

"I just watched a few games of chess, and there are still some things I don't understand. Are you busy, cousin?"

"not busy."

"Then cousin, please stay for dinner and help me explain it." After saying that, she looked at Gu Tingshu's face and then said, "Okay?"

There was caution in her eyes, and hope seemed to be bursting out of the sky. Gu Tingshu moved his index finger and said "hmm" in a hoarse voice.

"Girl, the kitchen has brought goat's milk. Let's drink it first."

There's still a while until dinner, so if you drink now, you won't have enough food to last until dinner.

"Mom, leave it alone, I'll drink it right now."

The table in the courtyard was too small. After putting the chessboard and books, there was no room to put bowls, so Grandma and Jinbao moved out another small square table.

"Tomorrow I will go on a long journey with the prince. I may not come back for three to five months. I will leave Shiyi behind. You should be more obedient."

While drinking goat's milk, he suddenly opened his mouth to explain. Shen Qiqi was so shocked that she couldn't hold the spoon. She dropped her hand in the bowl, and the goat's milk that came out touched her white chin.

Gu Tingshu took out the handkerchief and handed it over, and waited for her to wipe it clean before continuing to speak: "There are a lot of things going on in Beijing these days. Don't go out if you have nothing to do. If you want to come up with something, you must bring it with you."

He has been so close to her in the past few days, and everyone in the capital who has a few extra eyes will probably know about it.

During this trip to Luo City, Gong will anger some people hiding in the dark. Although people have paid more attention to this area, they still have to be just in case.

"Is my cousin in danger?" I have to go for such a long time at once, so this job may be extremely difficult.

"Cousin, you'd better take Eleven with you. I'm not going anywhere. I'll just stay in the house every day. There won't be any danger."

After saying this, he didn't know whether he heard it or not. He didn't nod or respond. He just reached out and took the handkerchief back.

"Where is my cousin going?"

"Lo City."

"Is Luo City far away?"

"Not far."

It's not far, but it would take two or three days to get there by cavalry. However, if you have a battalion of private soldiers, then this distance is indeed too close.

It is precisely because of this that the prince wants to go in person.

"Cousin, are you going on horseback? If it's too dangerous, bring more people with you."

As she spoke, she raised her hand and called Jinbao over, "There is a small hole at the back of the wardrobe. Go and take out the things inside."

Jinbao went as he was told, and Shen Qiqi turned around, met Gu Tingshu's eyes, and smiled sheepishly.

"My grandfather gave me a jade plaque when I was a child. He said it was worn by Master Qingyun all the time during his lifetime and it can keep me safe."

She didn't know much about it when she was young, but before going out, her eldest cousin told her that this thing was extremely precious and asked her to keep it.

Everything she brought when she entered the house was divided among the sisters in the house. Except for some not very valuable things, only the jade plaque she wore close to her body remained.

Later, she was afraid that it would be taken away, so she wrapped it up and let her nanny who came with her hide it behind the closet.

The cabinet was too heavy. After grandma was sent away, she could not move the cabinet, so the jade plaque remained in it.

After hiding it for a long time, I forgot about this thing. If my cousin had not gone out today and wanted to pray for his safety, I might not have thought of it.

Master Qingyun was a rare eminent monk in the world. When he passed away, everyone said that he had transformed into an immortal.

The patriarch of the Shen family traveled to Zhongshan Mountain with Master Qingyun. Some people said that Master Qingyun once gave him a gift. I thought it was a legend, but I didn't expect it to be true.

The copybooks left by Master Qingyun are priceless in Beijing. The jade plaque she holds in her hand can be said to be priceless.

Jinbao quickly took out a small cloth bag as big as his palm. Due to its age, the cloth bag had lost its original color and was now dark and dark.

If you don't know what's inside such a thing, no one will pick it up wherever you put it.

Shen Qiqi took it with both hands, placed it on the small square table, and opened it layer by layer.

A touch of green slowly appeared as she moved. When the wrapping cloth was completely opened, a jade plaque half the size of a palm lay quietly.

The jade plaque that had been covered in dust for many years seemed to know that it had seen the light of day again. Under the warm sun, there seemed to be light flowing through the green jade body.

With just one glance, Gu Tingshu was sure that it was the jade plaque of Master Qingyun. The auspicious clouds carved on the jade plaque were the same workmanship as those he saw at the Queen Mother's.

"Cousin, please take this jade plaque. Qi Qi can't do anything for my cousin. I only hope that the jade plaque can keep my cousin safe and smooth."

"The jade token is priceless, keep it for yourself."

Gu Tingshu didn't believe that a small jade plaque could keep him safe. Over the years, every time he escaped from death, he had to fight with his own teeth.

"Cousin, don't you want to keep it?"

Seeing that he didn't respond, Shen Qiqi picked up the jade plaque, raised it and looked at the sun carefully. Seeing the light flowing inside, she tilted her head and thought about it.

After putting it down carefully, she untied the lamb hanging from her waist, untied the lamb and put on the jade token. Seeing that Gu Tingshu was sitting still, she stood up and turned around the small square table.

"Everything Qi Qi has now was given by my cousin. Only this one was brought from Jiangzhou. Just like this, will my cousin continue to refuse?"

As she spoke, she knelt down beside Gu Tingshu's knees, holding the jade medal and slowly tied it around his waist. During this process, the back of her thin white hand touched his sword, shaking almost invisibly.

Because she was nervous, she tried several times before tying it. When she took her hand back, her tight mouth relaxed and she breathed a small sigh of relief.

She was still crouching, like a kitten that had just accepted its owner, scared but stubbornly holding on.

Gu Tingshu's eyes moved from the jade medal at her waist to her slightly panicked eyes. Those eyes, which were like a clear spring, were now filled only with himself.

Gu Tingshu moved his hands and seemed to have made several decisions before finally placing his palms on the top of her head and rubbing it with very light force.

"Be good, I will take you to ride a horse and fly a kite when I come back."

All the noble ladies in Kyoto love to play with these things, but Gu Ting doesn't know what she likes to do. He just thinks that if he tries everything, he will know.

He didn't return the jade token, nor did he refuse. Shen Qiqi knew that he had accepted it.

The anxiety in her heart disappeared instantly. She pursed her lips and smiled sweetly, and couldn't help but arch the big palm above her head.

Gu Tingshu rubbed her again and then pulled her up.

"You'll get bored if you stay in this yard for a long time. If you like anything, I'll have someone find it and bring it over."

He asked suddenly, and Shen Qiqi couldn't think of what she liked for a while. After thinking about it, she felt that if he wasn't in the house, whoever wanted to enter would be able to enter.
