Lu Zhaoling said, "Since your birth date and time are no longer a secret, why not tell me now? I'll calculate your fortune for you."

Zong Xi said without hesitation, "Of course."

He immediately reported his own time and date.

Lu Zhaoling calculated for a moment, frowned, then looked at him again and sighed, "I didn't expect your fate to be so special. Your eight characters are all water, and you were born when the moon is at its peak. As long as you die in the evening when the sunset is shining on the water..."

"The body and soul can gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and merge into the water."

Zong Qi was also quite clever. Hearing Lu Zhaoling's words, he thought again: I'd just been asking about Master Yu, and now you're saying his body and destiny are special...

Zong Qi's expression suddenly changed. He stood up and asked in disbelief, "Master Lu, are you saying that my death was caused by Master Yu? Is he trying to use me for something?"

Lu Zhaoling nodded and said, "It seems that this is correct."

Zong Qi was devastated. "I always thought that it was because of Xiaosheng's special identity that he had attracted some enemies. I even hid Xiaosheng at the time, fearing that he would be discovered. I didn't expect that I was wrong. The person who killed me was sent by Master Yu?"

Xiao Dui, who was standing nearby, was stunned when he heard this and asked, "Uncle, what's so special about my identity? Am I not just an abandoned baby you found at the foot of the mountain?"

Zong Qi said, "I found you at the foot of the mountain, but the cloth you were swaddling in looked very expensive, and there were also some valuables stuffed inside. I will go get it out now."

"I originally wanted to wait until you grew up before giving it to you, but then I had an accident and didn't have time to tell you. I couldn't explain it clearly even if I wanted to send you a dream."

"So those things are still hidden now. If Master Lu hadn't released me this time, I guess those things would have been hidden and no one would have known about them."

He originally thought that when Xiaosheng grew up and no one came to look for him, he would sell those things and give Xiaosheng some money to marry a wife so that he could live a good life in the future. Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes.

Zong Xi couldn't calculate his own fate either.

Zong Qi went into a small room next door, rummaged around for a while, and then brought out a wooden box.

He opened the box in front of Zhou Shiyue and Lu Zhaoling. Inside was a neatly folded swaddling cloth. The fabric was indeed very precious, smooth, soft and seemed quite warm. There were also some small flying birds embroidered on it.

As soon as Zhou Shiyue saw the cloth, he scratched Lu Zhaoling's palm.

Lu Zhaoling looked at him suspiciously. Zhou Shiyue leaned close to her ear and whispered quietly, "Nan Shao's fabric."

When Lu Zhaoling heard this, she was stunned.

Her eyes also fell on the swaddling clothes. The embroidery on it was indeed similar to some of the things he had seen in Cui Liyue's relics, such as purses. The needlework was somewhat similar, but different from the embroidery needlework of the Great Zhou.

Lu Zhaoling was immediately shocked. She looked at Xiaosheng. Could it be that the young man they ran into in this village was actually from Nanshao?

But Xiaosheng is fourteen years old, so she should have nothing to do with her mother, right? She has been dead for about nineteen years.

Lu Zhaoling was feeling a bit self-deprecating now. Whenever she heard the name Nanshao, she would think of Cui Liyue. After all, with so many people in Nanshao, it wouldn't be surprising if a few of them came from Nanshao, right?

In addition to the swaddling clothes, there were several other valuable-looking items in the box, including a string of pure gold longevity locks.

Lu Zhaoling picked it up and took a look. Zong Qi said, "This golden lock can be opened. Inside is a longevity lock carved from high-quality white jade. It should mean gold encased in jade."

A gold lock wrapped in a jade lock brings wealth and health.

Zhou Shiyue immediately leaned over to Lu Zhaoling's ear and said, "There's indeed such a custom in Nanshao. They hide a piece of jade inside the longevity lock. Open it and take a look. The jade inside is of very high quality, top-grade jade. This means the owner of this item is either wealthy or noble."

The rich and powerful people in Nanshao should have some relationship with the King of Nanshao, right?

Lu Zhaoling asked, "Can this be opened?"

Zong Xi immediately said, "Master, please come in."

Lu Zhaoling opened the golden lock.

Their eyes lit up.

Because the jade that came out was of superb oily white color. The jade was very clear and moist, reflecting a warm luster under the candlelight. Even people who don’t know much about jade can tell that this jade is worth a lot of money.

Zhou Shiyue raised his eyebrows. There was no way around it. Xiaosheng must be from a superior family in Nanshao.

I don’t know if it was someone from the Nanshao Palace.

However, I heard that King Nan Shao sent people into the mountains to look for someone not fourteen or fifteen years ago, so the time doesn't match.

Therefore, Xiaosheng would not be the person that King Nan Shao wanted to find. After all, they had already determined that the person King Nan Shao was looking for was Lu Ming.

Lu Zhaoling and Zhou Shiyue looked at each other and became curious about Xiaosheng's identity.

In addition to the longevity lock, there is also a jade pendant inside. The jade looks very good, with a few small gold animals and birds on it. I guess it can be strung together for children to wear and play with.

Then there is a small flat box inlaid with gold and gems, which can probably hold the time and place of birth, or some very precious land deeds, house deeds and the like.

These things are indeed expensive.

If it is sold, it will be enough for Xiaosheng to live a good life.

Xiaosheng couldn't come back to his senses for a long time after looking at these things.

He always thought that he was abandoned by his parents because they couldn't afford to raise him. Unexpectedly, so many valuables were stuffed in his cradle!

"I was the one who chose the name Xiaosheng. I originally wanted to call him Xiaosheng, because I picked him up and wanted to give him a name that means life so he would be easier to raise," Zong Qi said. "But there were several people in the village whose names contained the word 'sheng', so I changed it to 'sheng'."

"Xiaosheng, these things should have been yours..." Zong Qi hesitated when he said this.

"Uncle, do you want to give these things to the prince and the master? I have no objection, I will listen to you."

Xiaosheng immediately understood what his uncle meant.

However, he thought his uncle wanted to use these as a reward to thank the prince and the master for saving them.

In fact, Zong Xi wanted to ask Zhou Shiyue and Lu Zhaoling to take Xiaosheng away.

Knowing that his death was caused by Master Yu, Zong Qi was no longer at ease letting Xiaosheng stay in the village. What if Master Yu wanted to attack Xiaosheng again?

Xiaosheng's fate also seems to be precious.

"You keep the things for yourselves."

Lu Zhaoling immediately shook her head. These were things Xiaosheng's biological parents gave him, and they might also be the proof for him to regain his identity. What did she want these for?

Zhou Shiyue just calmly memorized the appearance of these things in his mind.

Come back and draw it, then check it out.
