Chapter 850: I'll take the Phoenix Seal, You take the Box
Xuanyuan Jin's heart moved.
Then, she reached out and tapped Tang Bao's forehead, saying, "You wish! This is something you found, so it's not right for me to take advantage of a little girl like you! I went there at that time just to protect you and take the risk, not because I really wanted to take your things."
"Of course I know that grandma wouldn't take my things for nothing." Tang Bao said confidently, "I was thinking that after grandma took this thing away, she might cash it in and reward me with a lot of gold and silver."
Compared with such a deadly thing, aren’t gold and silver more attractive?
Is it possible for a little country girl like her to hold this thing?
Xuanyuan Jin looked at Tang Bao's calculating look and shook his head speechlessly.
No matter how much gold, silver, and jewelry there are, can they compare to this phoenix seal?
Could it be that... the little girl doesn't have enough money to spend?
Xuanyuan Jin thought of this, turned around and took out a box from the cabinet beside him.
"Take it!"
After saying that, he put the box in Tangbao's hand.
The heavy feeling made Tang Bao almost unable to catch it.
"What is this?" Tang Bao asked curiously.
"Just take a look and you'll know," Xuanyuan Jin said casually.
Tangbao put the box on the table and opened it.
——A box full of gold leaves.
It was so bright that it almost blinded her eyes.
Tang Bao's mouth twitched.
The little brother has his habit of smashing the gold leaves when he disagrees with something again.
Tang Bao pushed the box back.
"Brother, have you forgotten that I just received so many rewards from the Emperor today?" Tang Bao said shamelessly, "I am so poor now that I only have money left."
After hearing Tang Bao's boastful words, Xuanyuan Jin looked at Feng Yin and said unhappily, "Then why are you planning to sell this thing? Do you know how important this thing is?"
"Of course I know this thing is important. I'm not stupid." Tang Bao picked up the Phoenix Seal and played with it casually, saying, "I just said it casually. Grandmother is so good to me. It's only right that I give her something good as a filial gift."
"You have a conscience." Xuanyuan Jin glared at Tang Bao and said, "Stop trying to sell this thing for silver!"
Tang Bao rolled her eyes.
She actually just doesn't want this thing.
You can’t eat, drink, or treat your illness, and you still have to hide it. Why bother?
I wouldn't dare sell it, but I could give it to someone else.
"Brother, is your mother's phoenix seal lost?" Tang Bao said, "If that's the case, please send it to your mother as soon as possible!"
After hearing what Tang Bao said, Xuanyuan Jin's eyes flashed with a complicated look.
"My mother's phoenix seal is a golden seal and it has not been lost."
"In that case, this seal... might be a phoenix seal from a long-lost dynasty?" Tang Bao guessed.
Xuanyuan Jin looked at Feng Yin and gave the answer directly.
"It's the Phoenix Seal lost during the prehistoric times."
"It's been that long?" Tang Bao said in surprise: "In that case, it can be collected as an antique."
The longer the better!
The longer she goes back, the fewer people she knows and the less politically sensitive she is, so she feels less burdened if she keeps it.
Moreover, antiques become more valuable as they age.
Xuanyuan Jin looked at Tang Bao and opened his mouth.
"What's wrong, brother?" Tang Bao asked in confusion: "Am I wrong?"
"Yes! You should keep it well. Who knows, it might be very valuable in the future!"
Xuanyuan Jin deliberately emphasized the tone of the last two words, but ultimately did not tell Tang Bao that the jade seal used by the current emperor was inherited from the ancient times.
After hearing Xuanyuan Jin's words, Tang Bao stuffed the Phoenix Seal directly into her small bag.
You can never have too many valuable things.
"Brother, I'll give you the box." Tang Bao said like a little shrew, "I can carry this box back home. Even if I wrap it in a bag, it won't arouse suspicion."
Now that you have decided to collect it, you should naturally keep it in the safest place.
Moreover, it cannot arouse suspicion.
"You're smart again now." Xuanyuan Jin said, looking at Tang Bao's small bag with a deep gaze.
Tang Bao patted her small bag with satisfaction and said, "I'm very smart!"
After saying that, he looked at Xuanyuan Jin and said with a smile: "Brother, you escort grandma back to Beijing."
Xuanyuan Jin: "...Did your grandmother ask you to say that?"
Tang Bao propped up her chin with both hands, shook her head and said, "Grandma didn't say it, but I can see that she hopes you can go back to Beijing with her."
"What about you? Do you want me to go back?" Xuanyuan Jin asked ambiguously.
"The capital is my brother's home, and he will have to go back eventually." Tang Bao said as a matter of course: "This is not something that can be changed by my will. What's more, my beautiful aunt must be looking forward to my brother's early return."
Xuanyuan Jin was silent.
Tang Bao continued, "Besides, there must be a way for brother to return to Beijing. Now that grandmother has come all the way to see brother, brother can escort grandmother back. This will not only fulfill his filial duty, but also provide a way to save face. In this way, outsiders will inevitably think that it was grandmother who came all the way to find brother and brought him back."
Tang Bao said this, patted Xuanyuan Jin on the shoulder, and continued earnestly: "Brother, the opportunity is not to be missed, and it will never come back. Now that we have the steps, let's go down the slope, steadily and legitimately, so that we don't lose the steps in the end and be laughed at by others for going back in disgrace."
Xuanyuan Jin: "..."
Why is this so harsh?
"Brother, do you remember when you first came here?" Tang Bao sighed and shook her head, saying, "You looked like an abandoned puppy, covered in dirt and looked so pitiful..."
Xuanyuan Jin: "..."
This is not harsh, but heartbreaking!
The originally heavy mood was completely disrupted.
Xuanyuan Jin suddenly stretched out his hands and pinched Tang Bao's cheeks on the left and right.
"Did you have this mouth just to piss me off?" Xuanyuan Jin asked angrily.
Tang Bao's little face was pinched, the corners of her mouth were stretched straight, and she couldn't speak clearly. She could only shake her head desperately with a funny expression.
But his big eyes, as bright as the stars, were full of smiles.
Xuanyuan Jin looked at Tang Bao like this, and slowly the corners of his mouth began to rise, and a smile welled up in his eyes.
Xuanyuan Jin pinched Tang Bao's little face with his hands a few times to vent his anger, but he was reluctant to use too much force.
Even so, there were a few red marks on Tang Bao's porcelain-white face.
Xuanyuan Jin looked at the red mark and felt it was very irritating, so he quickly reached out and rubbed it.
"You're so delicate. Your skin turns red when you touch it. If you don't know, you'd think I used a lot of force..."
Xuanyuan Jin felt distressed and complained unhappily.
Tang Bao rubbed his chubby face and retorted, "I'm delicate! Don't you know that girls' skin is very delicate? Forget it, you definitely don't understand these things. When you return to the capital, maybe the emperor uncle will grant you a marriage soon. Then let my future sister-in-law train you..."
Tang Bao spoke casually and didn't notice that Xuanyuan Jin's brows were tightly furrowed.
