An eight-year-old kid emptied his scumbag father's warehouse and followed his grandparents into

On May 13th, the sun was shining brightly and the breeze was blowing. The scenery of Qingshan Villa was particularly pleasant.

The green mountains in the distance were like dark green, the flowers and plants nearby were lush, and the manor was filled with a faint fragrance of flowers. On such a beautiful day, Xu Zize and his group arrived at Qingshan Manor.

Xu Zize and his party were brought back by Chongsan and Xiaoman.

Chongsan and Xiaoman had been waiting in a town about thirty or forty miles away for the past two days. Seeing Xu Zize and his group approaching from afar, they hurried over to greet them. Chongsan, beaming, bowed and said, "My Lord, thank you for your hard work along the way! The young lady and aunt have been waiting at the farm for a long time." Xiaoman followed Chongsan, excited to see an old friend again.

They arrived openly in five carriages, and twelve men on horseback, a total of twenty people, entered Qingshan Villa. In addition to these twenty people, eight secret guards also entered.

Xu Zize dismounted and was greeted by Jing Chunxi and Jing Qiurong. Jing Chunxi, dressed in a simple, elegant light blue dress, wore a gentle smile, her eyes gleaming with anticipation, appearing even more youthful and youthful than usual. Jing Qiurong, with her hair neatly combed and adorned with an exquisite hairpin, looked remarkably dignified.

When Xu Zize saw them, he quickly bowed and saluted with a hint of apology on his face: "Aunt, Xier, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

"Xiaokang greets his aunt!" Xu Zize's voice was loud and respectful. He bent slightly and performed a standard junior's greeting.

Jing Qiurong accepted the prince's salute with all her heart, feeling a little uncomfortable. She quickly returned the salute and said repeatedly, "Prince, please take a seat." Her voice was soft and polite, and her eyes were full of kindness.

Xu Zize naturally would not sit in the first seat, but tactfully sat opposite Jing Qiurong and next to Jing Chunxi, and repeatedly said, "Aunt, there's no need to be so polite." His voice was gentle and sincere, and his eyes were full of respect for his elders.

Jing Chunxi secretly laughed. The last time he gave her a gift, Xu Zize had addressed his mother as "Madam" in front of him, but this time, in person, he addressed her as "Aunt." But Jing Chunxi didn't point it out, she just smiled at him.

Jing Chunxi knew that his mother would prefer the name of Aunt to Madam. Sure enough, his mother smiled slightly, a hint of relief in her eyes.

After exchanging pleasantries, Xu Zize briefly recounted his experiences on the road. His voice was loud and his eyes were smiling, and Jing Chunxi and Jing Qiurong listened with great interest.

Especially when he mentioned to them the touching scene when he met his aunt and Ah Heng and Ah Yue's family in Xunyang City, Xu Zize's voice trembled slightly, and his eyes were filled with emotion: "Aunt saw Xiaokang crying so hard, and Yue'er let me hold her for a long time."

There was a smile in his eyes when he said this. The feeling of losing and regaining a loved one is something only those who have experienced it can empathize with.

Jing Chunxi listened attentively to these discussions. She nodded slightly, a touch of emotion in her eyes. Jing Qiurong simply listened quietly, occasionally echoing with a touching "Okay!" before her eyes welled up.

Jing Chunxi came back and explained the relationship between Xu Zize and the Tao family in detail, and also told about the tragic experience of the Tao family. Therefore, Jing Qiurong was also sincerely happy for him to find his relatives.

After exchanging pleasantries and taking two more sips of tea, Xu Zize called out to the door, "Qingfeng."

Qingfeng walked in. He bowed to Jing Qiurong and Jing Chunxi, then presented the two stacked wooden boxes to his master. Qingfeng's movements were very skillful. He held the wooden boxes in both hands, bowed slightly, and his eyes showed a hint of respect: "Master, I have brought the things."

Xu Zize stood up, picked up the top wooden box, and placed it in Jing Chunxi's hand first, his movements very gently.

He also picked up the other wooden box with both hands and walked to Jing Qiurong. "Aunt, I've heard that Jian'an County is rich in Dongzhu, but I was in a hurry last time and couldn't find it, so I couldn't let Xier bring it back. This time I finally found it, and I hope you will accept it as a small gift."

At this time, Qingfeng had already retreated again and the door was ajar for them.

"Why are you always wasting money, kid? You gave me so many things last time. When we get to the manor, they should be given to you by your elders. You absolutely cannot accept these things from your aunt." Jing Qiurong's voice was soft and polite, with a hint of determination in her eyes. She shook her head slightly and tried to push the wooden box back.

"Don't be polite, Auntie. It's useless for me to keep this thing, and pearls are most suitable for your elders." Xu Zize's voice was very persistent. His eyes also told Jing Qiurong firmly that this kind of kindness could not be refused.

Xu Zize looked at Jing Chunxi and said, "Xier has helped me a lot. Xiaokang knows it, and it is also with the support of your aunt. Xiaokang is very grateful, and even a small gift cannot repay you. Aunt, please don't refuse it again." His voice became more sincere, and when he looked at Jing Qiurong, his eyes became more determined.

Seeing that his mother had been making too many excuses, Xu Zize had been standing there, inevitably showing embarrassment. Jing Chunxi couldn't help but whispered, "Mother!"

Jing Qiurong couldn't refuse and could only accept it. With a helpless smile on her face, she said, "In that case, I'll accept it. I appreciate Xiaokang's kindness."

Jing Chunxi was a little unhappy with Xu Zize: "How much silver does this cost? Why are you so wasteful? I have plenty of pearls."

Her voice was slightly angry, and her eyes showed a hint of dissatisfaction. It was natural for Xu Zize to be generous on his first visit, but this time the gift was too expensive, which made her feel a little distressed.

Thinking of the boxes of pearls she had received from the Taifu Mansion without spending a penny, Jing Chunxi was unhappy. She didn't even want to listen to Xu Zize's explanation. She couldn't help but jump up, put the wooden box in her hand on the chair she was sitting on, and walked out a few steps to open the lid of the wooden box in her mother's hand.

Seeing her irritable look, Jing Qiurong was about to get angry when she heard Jing Chunxi exclaim, "Black! Pearls can be black."

Eight black pearls, each as big as a pigeon egg, lay in a wooden box, wrapped in several layers of silk cloth. Jing Chunxi only saw them after peeling back the layers.

The black pearl shone so brightly that Jing Chunxi was stunned. Her eyes widened and her mouth opened slightly, as if she couldn't believe what she saw.

Even Jing Qiurong had never seen something of this color, size, or quality. One could tell at a glance that it was rare and must be extremely valuable.

Jing Qiurong's expression changed slightly, a hint of surprise and worry in her eyes. She regretted agreeing to accept such a valuable gift. How could she ever return such a gift?

Xu Zize saw the surprised looks on their faces, especially Jing Chunxi's face full of surprise, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He said, "They probably don't have such good things."

He also understood the meaning of Jing Chunxi's words and knew that the gold, silver and treasures of the two people had been put into the space by Jing Chunxi as originally planned.

Seeing Jing Chunxi staring at the eight pearls, unable to take his eyes away from them like a money-grubber, Xu Zize suggested: "Xier, if you like them, if you come across a good one in the future, Brother Xiaokang will definitely help you get it." His voice was gentle and sincere, and there was a hint of doting in his eyes.

Jing Chunxi nodded at this, a satisfied smile appeared on her face, and a hint of anticipation appeared in her eyes.

Jing Qiurong pretended to cough a few times in embarrassment, trying to remind her daughter not to be so greedy.

She thought her daughter should have restrained herself and said something to refuse. However, she didn't remind Jing Chunxi, who was completely lost in love.
