Chapter 16 Cat Jade Pendant
Jing Xuan was distressed, very distressed.
Chu Mosheng's birthday is approaching. Although he doesn't care, in Jing Xuan's opinion, birthday is very important.
She had a great birthday every time, and her family and friends would give her birthday gifts, so she also wanted to give Chu Mo a gift.
But she has no money and no one to help her, so what can she give to Chu Mo?
Send wool?
Just thinking about it makes me feel frustrated.
Fortunately, Shen Fu has been following her. With him around, she might be able to buy a suitable gift.
That day, Jing Yu rushed in front of Chen Fu and jumped and made a noise, leaving the latter confused.
Wen Zhixun glanced at her and said, "Maybe she wants to go out and play. Let's take her with us."
So, Chen Fu took Jing Xuan out of the house.
When they arrived at the market, the people were so enthusiastic when they saw that it was General Shen that even Jing Xuan felt a little uncomfortable.
Chen Fu laughed heartily, thanked everyone, and then took the kitten for a walk.
Jing Xuan patted his strong arms with her little paws to direct his actions.
Whenever Chen Fu arrived at a shop, he would stand there for a few moments to allow Jing Yu to inspect it.
Jing Xuan looked at all kinds of items, trying to find a gift that suits her taste, but after visiting each shop one by one, she found nothing that satisfied her.
It’s too common, Chu Mo has everything.
If Shen Furuo still didn't know her intention, he could go and recognize the pig as his brother, and frowned slightly: "The general really has everything."
Jing Xuan lowered her head in frustration.
Shen Fu was about to comfort her, but saw the kitten stiffen and suddenly look up and forward.
There was a monk about ten steps away. He was wearing a soft gray cassock and holding a rosary. He was thin and tall. Unlike other monks, he had long black hair that reached his waist. He exuded a peaceful and tranquil aura that seemed to be able to wipe away all the restlessness and anxiety in the world.
The deep, dark eyes looked at Jing Yu calmly, causing a shiver to run down her spine.
She had a gut feeling that he knew he was human.
She should have been afraid, but she had an inexplicable impulse that prompted her to struggle slightly, leave the embrace, and walk slowly towards the monk.
"Little Gray!"
Jing Yu ignored Chen Fu, quickened her pace, and ran to the monk.
The monk had a gentle face and smiled, then bent down and held her in his arms.
"Meow~" Who are you?
Monk: “Just a passerby.”
Jing Xuan's eyes suddenly widened. He could actually understand cat language!
"Don't be surprised." The monk smiled and asked, "Do you want to go back?"
Jing Yu was stunned and said nothing.
"I can take you back."
He looked at her calmly, as if as long as Jing Xuan said "yes", she would be able to return to the capital in the next moment.
Because of this, Jing Xuan remained silent.
The monk did not rush and just waited quietly, with a gentle smile on his handsome face.
The man and the cat were silent, looking mysterious and strange in the rush of people.
Shen Fu, who was close to the two of them, was confused but did not ask.
After a while, Jing Yu raised her head: "Meow meow meow..."
——Can you go back later?
The hesitation in her tone made the monk chuckle. He stroked her head with his hand holding the rosary beads. After a moment, he said softly, "If you want, you can."
Jing Xuan was stunned.
Chen Fu's eyes widened as he stared at the monk in shock. After a few breaths, he felt it was impolite and withdrew his gaze, muttering to himself: He is indeed a great monk who is proficient in all kinds of languages.
The monk ignored Shen Fu's thoughts and took out a jade pendant from his sleeve pocket.
The jade is fine and delicate, and the carving is exquisite. You can tell at a glance that it is extraordinary.
The style is quite cute, with a cat squatting obediently, its round cat pupils looking forward meekly, so obedient that it makes people feel soft in the heart.
Somehow, Jing Yu felt that this cat looked like herself.
The monk hung the jade pendant on Jing Xuan's furry neck and said with a smile, "The general will like this gift."
Jing Yu was stunned again.
When she saw the jade pendant just now, she subconsciously thought that this jade pendant should be given to Chu Mo. She didn't expect that the monk also had this plan.
The monk saw her puzzled expression and could not help but touch her head again, saying softly: "Don't worry, I will never hurt you or the general."
Jing Yu blinked and nodded heavily, "Meow~"
Although it was very strange, she really believed in the monk, even though this man was full of doubts and difficult to understand.
The monk was about to leave after finishing what he needed to do. He handed the kitten back to Chen Fu and looked down at her: "You have to be well."
"Meow~"
Shen Fu was still confused, and saw the monk turn around and leave, step by step out of their sight.
He lowered his eyes and looked at the thoughtful kitten: "Xiao Hui, can he understand what you say?"
He knew that he was asking a nonsense question, but he still felt surprised no matter how he thought about it.
Jing Xuan cried out, lowered her head and stared at the cat jade pendant, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
She had a hunch that Chu Mo would definitely like this gift very much!
…
After returning home, she asked Chen Fu to take off the jade pendant, and then hid it carefully, waiting for Chu Moshengchen to give him a surprise that day.
Chen Fu went to Wen Zhixun's room and told him everything that had just happened.
After listening, Wen Zhixun raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows, then tilted his head to signal Chen Fu to look.
The latter looked over and found that there were three more cabinets of books in Wen Zhixun's room. "Are you going to take the imperial examination again?"
Wen Zhixun rubbed his brows in a headache and said, "Go and have a look."
Shen Fu stood up and walked to the bookshelf, pulling out a book. The cover read: "Records of Strange Stories from the Previous Dynasty"
He took out another book——"Stories of Strange Things"
Shen Fu: "..."
"Since Xiaobai came here, the books I read have become..." Wen Zhixun paused, with an indescribable sadness welling up in his heart. He sighed and said slowly, "They are all these strange stories."
Shen Fu: "...hard work."
"If the imperial examination would have included these, I would have been able to pass the imperial examinations in three places." At this point, Wen Zhixun became even more furious and said angrily, "Why did I only get the third place?"
Shen Fu, who worked so hard to pass the imperial examination, said: "... you might as well die of exhaustion."
Wen Zhixun kicked and kicked Chen Fu out of the room.
After Chen Fu left, he slowly poured a cup of tea and leaned back in his chair leisurely, looking as if he had let things go.
"Well, the general believes in her so much, so I should believe in the general too."
He would never admit that it was because he was almost vomiting after reading so many strange and bizarre stories.
