After Escaping Famine, Three-Year-Old Fu Bao Became Everyone’s Favorite

During the famine, a sack of grain was traded for a little girl. Everyone thought the family had lost their minds.

But ever since they adopted little Qingtian, it was as if their lives had be...

Chapter 159: A few words made both sisters cry

"This feels so comfortable to touch." Qingtian played with the jade pendant hanging on her chest curiously. She had never seen such a thing before.

Song Tao felt that what Qingtian was playing with was not a jade pendant, but his own life.

When I get back later, if the Madam finds that the young master's jade pendant is missing, my job will probably be over.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Young Master, this jade pendant..."

Before he could finish his words, Qin Hexuan glared at him fiercely.

Song Tao was so frightened that he immediately shut up and swallowed the rest of his words.

But Qingtian had already heard it.

"Brother Qin, is this jade?" Qingtian had never touched jade before, only knowing it seemed very valuable. "Will Jing Ba Leng turn into something like this after being polished?"

"The color won't become like this, but the feel and gloss should be okay." Qin Hexuan actually didn't know whether it was possible, but he still followed her words.

Song Tao was speechless. His young master would say anything to coax the child.

No matter how you polish the Beijing eight-sided jade, it will just be a walnut. How can it possibly have the texture of Hetian seed jade?

But the glare Qin Hexuan gave him just now made his heart still pounding, and he didn't dare to say anything else.

Qingtian only played with it for a while before wanting to take off the jade pendant and return it to Qin Hexuan.

"Here it is for you, just wear it well." Qin Hexuan grabbed her little hand and prevented her from taking off the jade pendant.

"But this is very expensive, isn't it?" Qingtian asked, blinking. "Mom said not to accept expensive things from others."

"Don't you know the saying 'reciprocity'? I've already accepted the Jingbaleng you gave me, but you won't accept the jade pendant I gave you in return?"

“But…” Qingtian hesitated for a long time before finally saying, “But this is very expensive.

"I just picked it up in the mountains. I didn't spend any money!" "But I think that you took the time and effort to go to the mountains, picked up a perfect walnut, and asked Madam Jiang to bring it back to the capital for me. Isn't this friendship more precious than silver and money?"

Qingtian’s little brain was no match for Qin Hexuan, and he was convinced by him in just a few words.

However, although Qin Hexuan gave the jade pendant to Qingtian, he was actually still aware of security, fearing that the jade pendant would bring unexpected disaster to Qingtian.

So he warned: "Remember to hide the jade pendant inside your clothes and wear it close to your body, so that it won't be seen by people with bad intentions and snatched away like your sandbag."

As soon as Qin Hexuan mentioned that the sandbag had been stolen, Qingtian's attention was quickly diverted.

With the lessons learned from last time, she understood that not all good things can be shared with others.

Some people will not only not thank you for sharing, but will also have evil intentions and take your things away for themselves.

So when Qingtian heard Qin Hexuan say this, he immediately stuffed the jade pendant into his collar, raised his hand and patted it, saying, "It's safe now. Don't worry, Brother Qin. I won't tell anyone except my parents."

The two were talking when Boss Ye came out from the kitchen to look for Qingtian. After walking around in the back and not finding Qingtian, he came forward and was startled to see the gate wide open. He thought Qingtian had run away by himself.

It's such a big garden. What if you get lost? It will be even more troublesome if you accidentally bump into an important person.

Boss Ye ran out while shouting Qingtian, wanting to find his daughter quickly.

"Dad?" Qingtian watched Boss Ye shouting at him and ran out, his head full of question marks.

Qin Hexuan saw this and ordered, "Song Tao, go and get him back."

Song Tao quickly ran out and it took him a long time to call Boss Ye back.

"Uncle Ye, long time no see." Qin Hexuan greeted Boss Ye.

Boss Ye saw Qingtian sitting next to Qin Hexuan and he breathed a sigh of relief. "Young Master Qin, it's you who came. I thought Qingtian had run away to play!"

Qin Hexuan: "No, Qingtian is very well behaved."

Sunny: "Dad, I'm very obedient!"

The two people spoke at the same time.

Boss Ye didn't know what to say for a moment. After a while, he asked, "Young Master Qin, are you here to attend the flower viewing banquet?"

"Yes, I came here with my mother." Qin Hexuan said politely.

Boss Ye immediately thought about the piece of sika deer skin that he had previously placed in the city for nitration. He thought he might as well take some time tonight to go over and take a look. If it was ready, he could give it directly to Young Master Qin.

Mrs. Ye's voice soon rang out from the kitchen: "Boss, didn't you go get some firewood? Where are you?"

"Coming, coming!" Boss Ye quickly responded, and before leaving, he warned Qingtian, "You play here with Young Master Qin, but you are not allowed to leave the yard, okay?"

"Dad, I know we can't go out. It will offend the nobles!" Qingtian obediently repeated what his parents had repeatedly told him before.

Qin Hexuan felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this and asked, "Qingtian, have you never been to the garden since you came here?"

“I wandered around for a while when I first arrived yesterday,” Qingtian said, “but when I got to the pavilion over there, I saw a patch of flowers had been damaged.

"When Mr. Jiang found out, he was very angry and told my father to watch over the people in the kitchen and not let anyone leave."

"So, Qingtian, do you want to go out and see the flowers? Brother Qin, can you take you out?"

"I want to see Huahua, but Dad just said I'm not allowed to go out..." Qingtian was suddenly caught in a dilemma.

"Let Song Tao tell Uncle Ye that you won't be afraid if you follow me out."

When Song Tao heard his name, he immediately went to the back to find Boss Ye without Qin Haoxuan's instructions.
