You are my golden finger

After everyone had breakfast, Ming Ruyue ordered people to bring up three boxes and distribute gifts to everyone. It was obvious that Ming Ruyue's luggage had been transported overnight.

The boy received a jade pendant and a jade plaque, and the girl received a pair of jade bracelets and a set of jadeite headpieces, both of which had excellent water content.

"Sister Jin, the rest are for you." Ming Ruyue said to Lin Xijin finally.

There was still half a box of gifts left in the first box. If they sold the jade pendants and jade plaques, they could live a luxurious life for the rest of their lives. I don't know what the other two boxes contain.

“Sister Jin, these two boxes are not worth anything, they are just two boxes of stones. One box is jade, and the other box is jadeite raw stones. You can cut and polish them yourself in the future, and do whatever you want.” As he spoke, he opened the boxes for everyone to see.

Everybody gathered around and saw that the two boxes of raw stones had windows opened. From the exposed flesh, it was not difficult to see that the jade inside was of excellent quality, and they were all top-quality with excellent water content.

"Ruyue, how can I accept such expensive gifts from you? Tell your men to keep these things away." Lin Xijin was shocked by Ming Ruyue's generosity.

The best raw stones can be sold for tens or even hundreds of thousands of taels each.

"Sister Jin, don't you like Ruyue? Ruyue has nothing except these things grandpa left me. You don't accept these things because you are afraid that Ruyue will disturb you?" Ming Ruyue's tears came and were about to fall.

Lin Xijin was stunned. Not accepting the gift means that you don't like me? What kind of logic is that?

"Just accept it. These things are not worth much. Ruyue has plenty of them!" Qi Jinghao persuaded Lin Xijin.

Lin Xijin glanced at Ming Ruyue who was very sad, and sighed, "Ruyue, it's hard to refuse your kindness, so I will accept it first. When you get married in the future, I will give you some makeup."

Ming Ruyue stopped crying when she heard Lin Xijin's words. Her face was shy and her cheeks were slightly red, like cherry blossoms blooming in early spring.

"Sister Ruyue, don't be sad, we all welcome you." Qinglan was able to empathize with others and went up to hold Ming Ruyue's hand.

"Sister Ruyue, we will be your family from now on." Xijia also took Ming Ruyue's other hand.

Well, it looks like the family members are going to be expanded again.

The summer sun was scorching hot early in the morning. Qi Jinghao didn't want to ride a horse anymore. Looking at Lin Xijin's comfortable carriage, he begged to ride in it.

Lin Xijin asked An An, Duan Jingyun and Lele to ride in the same car with him. Ming Ruyue naturally got on Lin Xijin's car. Together with Jia Jia and Qing Lan, there were four people in one car.

Ming Ruyue's mental age is not very old, about the same as Xijia and Xinlan. But she is better in terms of her wide experience in the martial arts world, and she tells Xijia and Xinlan about the strange stories in the martial arts world, and the food and customs of various places. Along the way, the little girls chattered, which was quite lively.

But after two days, Ming Ruyue became silent. Lin Xijin was a little curious, so she asked, "Ruyue, why are you so quiet? Did you have a conflict with Qi Jinghao?"

"Sister Jin, that's not the case." Ming Ruyue answered in a somewhat depressed mood.

"So what happened to you? Tell me and I'll help you."

"Sister Jin, nothing happened. These past two days I finally understood why Brother Hao didn't like me to follow him. It must be because I can't do anything." Ming Ruyue lowered her head, looking very sad.

"Did he tell you that? Why do you have such an idea?" Lin Xijin asked patiently.

"Sister Jin, it's not Brother Hao who said that. I just thought of it these past two days." Ming Ruyue said, "Everyone in your family has kung fu skills, can read, can compose poetry, and is very smart. Jiajia, Xinlan, and Anan read books, draw and design whenever they have free time. When they heard me talk about delicious food, they thought of launching new products. They are really capable."

"Sister Jin, I can't do anything except playing and eating. No wonder Brother Hao looks down on me." Ming Ruyue looked particularly sad.

"Ruyue, theoretically you won't have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life. You can live a happy and carefree life without having to learn anything. What else do you want?" Lin Xijin did not comfort her, but asked tentatively.

"Sister Jin, I want to keep up with Brother Hao and help Brother Hao. Qixing Pavilion has a lot of business, and Brother Hao is traveling all over the country. I want to follow him, but he says that I don't know anything and will only cause trouble." Ming Ruyue said aggrievedly.

Lin Xijin was somewhat moved. It was rare for a girl who was both wealthy and beautiful to not be so willful and capricious, but to be able to reflect on herself, recognize her own shortcomings, and know what she wanted.

People who know shame and then become brave will have more motivation to learn.

"Can you read?" Lin Xijin decided to help her.

"I recognize some, but not many." Ming Ruyue said shyly.

"Mingyue, it's good that you have this understanding. It's easy to solve your problem. As long as you are not afraid of hard work, continue to learn more words, read more books, expand your knowledge, and then learn to count and read account books with Jiajia, Xinlan and others, you will be able to help Qi Jinghao soon."

"Really?" Ming Ruyue asked hopefully.

"How could I lie to you? Many of the girls who run my family's shops were picked up from outside. They were illiterate at first, and many of them were brought up by Jia Jia and Xin Lan. You are smart and literate, which makes you much better than them." Lin Xijin encouraged.

"Thank you, Sister Jin. I will definitely learn from them."

Lin Xijin succeeded in brainwashing again. So Ming Ruyue no longer pestered Qi Jinghao on the road. She was either holding literacy cards, story books, or math textbooks, immersed in the boundless ocean of learning.

Qi Jinghao was greatly surprised and couldn't help but admire Lin Xijin's personal charm.

But Lin Xijin did not dare to take credit for it. She knew that Ming Ruoyue's eagerness to learn came from the power of love.

Here, a group of people were traveling to the south of the Yangtze River in a leisurely manner, but in the court, turmoil was once again stirred up because Lin Xijin, Xin Lan and their group were ambushed on the road.

According to the investigation by the police inspector An Yi, the people who ambushed Lin Xijin and his party on the road came from the two major factions of the Jianghu, the Five Tigers Sect and the Iron Sword Sect. These two factions were employed by a steward in the mansion of the fourth prince Murong Chun, and the man in black was also sent by the steward to kill Lin Xijin.

But the final result was that Murong Chun pushed the steward out to take the blame, saying only that the steward was retaliating because he held a grudge because his nephew was killed in the Xishan hunting ground.

Murong Chun also had some means, and his actions were extremely clean. In the end, the steward took all the responsibility for the crime because his family was in Murong Chun's hands, so Murong Chun easily escaped again.

Murong Xu was very depressed, but there was nothing he could do. He was furious when he learned that Qi Jinghao was hanging around Lin Xijin again.

Although he believed in his wife, he still felt jealous. So he asked for leave from his father, the emperor, on the grounds that he was worried about the safety of Lin Xijin and Xin Lan and wanted to go to Jiangnan to pick them up.

The emperor felt much more relaxed after the court reform, so he gave him a month's vacation. Murong Xu and his relatives rushed to Hangzhou overnight.
