Master Qin was stunned, and everyone in the Ji family looked at him...

"Puch"

The little girl over there suddenly laughed. Qin Qiong's face was suddenly filled with black lines...

'That's not the question! ' She growled at the little girl!

Apparently, the little guy paid more attention to what the young master said about the emperor not understanding this matter.

Everyone turned to look at the little girl.

The little girl quickly stopped laughing and lowered her head and said, "Well, did he really say that about the emperor? What happened afterwards? Was the emperor angry?"

"That's not the question!" Second uncle and second young master said to her almost at the same time.

"How could this happen?" Mr. Qin murmured on the side.

"besides……"

The second son went on to say, "My uncle has been in office for more than ten years and has a good reputation. Moreover, after the epidemic that year, similar epidemics occurred in other places three years before and five years after, but none of them were as smooth as my uncle's."

"The tragic scene at that time is still mentioned by some people now, and compared with the treatment of my uncle at that time, a few years ago, Prime Minister Guo in Beijing wanted to recommend my uncle, but the Ministry of Personnel kept suppressing it."

"But the Ministry of Personnel was very relaxed about other matters during my uncle's tenure. For example, it supported my uncle's plan to build roads, widen rivers, and build schools and businesses. Moreover, although my uncle is the head of a county, the county under your jurisdiction has been merged twice in the past ten years. Now the county is under the jurisdiction of the prefect. Do you know why?"

“…You, you mean!?”

"Yes, you didn't work as an official in the Gu family's history department for nothing. Back then, they probably didn't intend to suppress you and prevent you from entering the capital. You were just a small sixth-rank official. No matter how well you did, what would that matter?"

"But later, your evaluation was too good, and his children were not good. Originally, the affairs of this second son were kept secret, and everyone said that he was a concubine's son who was not favored. But later, his paintings caused a sensation, and even the emperor saw them, so it could not be concealed."

"It was only then that I realized that the second son was the legitimate son, and the third son was the illegitimate son. This shows how much the Gu family protects and dotes on this child. They would even go to this extent for him."

"This this"

"This second young master is also a strange man. It is said that he only sees what he wants to see and only says what he wants to say. He does whatever he wants to do, and if he doesn't want to do it, the knife and the axe can't bend him. He doesn't know the four seasons, and can't tell the difference between the five grains, but he is born with special talents. He is good at painting, calculating, and craftsmanship. Everyone who has seen him says that he is a genius, but also a person who is ignorant of the world."

"What's the matter with that concubine you mentioned just now?" Master Ji spoke.

"That's what happened. I heard that this second young master not only didn't know the difference between the seasons and the five grains, but also didn't know the difference between men and women. He only recognized people who were close to him, and no one else. Later, because he grew up, his family gave him some maids."

"I originally wanted him to know the rites of Zhou Gong, but he was only interested in 'painting'. He asked the women to take off their clothes and paint him. He didn't understand anything else... He became a joke."

"But now those paintings have become the focus and are worth a fortune!"

"So, this second young master can't walk like a human being, right?"

The old lady spoke. ...How vicious!

“…About the same.”

The room was quiet.

"Son-in-law, I heard that the Gu family has invited your wife and Xiaojing to visit their home tomorrow, is that right?" the old lady asked Master Qin again.

"Ah? Yes, the post was sent earlier today." Master Qin hasn't recovered yet.

"Before that, Xiaojing, show your father the jade the emperor gave you."

"Oh, okay..." the little girl took out something and explained, "It's not a gift for me, it's just a token of gratitude asking me to help get something."

"It's been so long since you got the things back, and you don't come back to ask for them, so they are just gifts for you," my second uncle interrupted.

"You can't say that," the little girl retorted.

Qin Qiong knew that the little girl really didn't think that way.

The jade token was handed to Master Qin. Master Qin looked at the jade token, then at the little girl, and finally at the old lady above.

"Xiao Jing, go ask your aunt for some tea cakes for grandma. Tell her to make them at home. I can't eat the ones from outside."

The old lady turned and spoke lovingly to the little girl.

"If you don't want me to hear it, just say it..." The little girl pouted and went anyway.

However, when she left, she turned around and looked at Qin Qiong, who made an OK gesture to her. The little girl curved her eyes and left.

Seeing the little girl walk away, the old lady said to her second uncle: "Second brother, tell your uncle what's going on with this jade pendant."

"Yes, mother!"

The second uncle turned to Mr. Qin with great pride and said, "Brother-in-law, even though you are an official, you really don't know the origin of this jade token."

"Don't even mention you. Even the common officials in the capital have never seen it. Only the royal family and the third-rank officials can see it. No one else can have this blessing!"

"Okay, tell me now!"

"Yes, there are two pieces of this jade plaque. Both are carved with a phoenix. This phoenix has a name, something... I can't remember it."

"But, you see, this piece of jade was not made by our Great Qi. It was a gift from the State of Chu. The old emperor thought it was rare, so he had two different phoenixes carved on it."

"It just so happened that that year, the King of Han got married, and he gave two princes to his future princess, saying that they were for her. He said this in front of the civil and military royal families."

"The piece that the King of Han has is with the current princess. But the piece that our Emperor has..."

He pointed at the piece of paper in Master Qin's hand and smiled: "Do you understand? I told you that when the emperor gave our Xiaojing, he said 'give'."

"Moreover, after Xiaojing left, his uncle, Mr. Guo, asked him something. Guess what he said?" The second master smiled mysteriously.

"He said, if she can't get the secret code back, can't open the box, can't get the things inside, is this jade token still necessary? Oh! Yes, that's what he said."

"Besides, our Xiaojing took it back and opened the box. What do you think...there's nothing we can do."

The second master shook his head and tail when he said that.

"This is..." Master Qin's hand was shaking a little.

"But we all know that the Emperor and the Prince of the Regent's family are currently in a ceremony."

The second young master said coldly.

The second master waved his hands and said, "Ah! I know this, but do you know? The emperor treats our Xiaojing very well..."

"But I heard from Xiaojing that they didn't get along well along the way. Xiaojing said she didn't like him."

The second young master rolled his eyes.

"Hey! Who has our Xiao Jing ever liked? Don't you know her personality? You have to obey her, she likes you. If you don't listen to her, you're done, no matter what you say, it won't work."

The second master laughed and said, "I tell you, on the way, she scolded the emperor so much that he ran away from her carriage! She also laughed at the emperor in front of all of us, making the emperor so angry that he didn't say a word the whole way, and he didn't calm down until he arrived in the capital."

"That's it. Give the food when it's due. I also specially asked the chef who makes snacks in the Guo Mansion to go to the farm outside and make delicious food for Xiao Jing. I told you, Miss Qin can't have any bad luck, not even a hair loss! Oh! How is it?"

"Why is he getting into Xiaojing's car?!" The second young master widened his eyes.

"No, this is not the point!... Brat! Shut up!" The second master finally remembered that this was his son.

"Okay, all of you, stop talking," the eldest master said, "Mother, what do you think..."
