Chapter 27: The General's Pet (27)



Hearing Qin's words, the old lady looked nostalgic.

"I haven't been back for a long time, and I kind of miss the days in Fuyang."

"I knew my mother would be nostalgic and would think of the days when our family lived in Fuyang, so I specially brought some Fuyang specialties and knickknacks for her to remember her by."

As Qin spoke, she called Yinghong and Chenlu, and the two of them appeared in the sight of several people carrying large and small bags.

A familiar smell wafted over, and the old lady's eyes suddenly lit up: "Is this Muxunzi (chestnut) from Fuyang?"

Qin smiled and said, "That's right. I knew Mother liked this, so I bought some on purpose when I came back."

Yinghong and Chenlu placed all the things in their hands on the table beside the old lady, then lowered their heads and retreated behind Qin.

Looking at these familiar things in front of her, the old lady couldn't stop smiling and gave Qin a look of approval.

Qin looked at Jiang Jingyu who was standing beside her and said, "Jingyu, I picked out some small items for you this time. Go and see if you like them."

Jiang Jingyu looked surprised: "Me too?"

"Of course, everyone has a share!"

Finally, Jiang Jingyu was urged by Qin to go to the old lady. Seeing the joy on their faces, the corners of Qin's mouth also rose slightly.

At this moment, she seemed to understand why the old lady always talked about family harmony.

"Jingyu, the Muxunzi from Fuyang is very sweet. Come and try it. This dragon beard pastry is also delicious, and this..."

The old lady opened several packages of Fuyang specialties and handed them to Jiang Jingyu while introducing them. Finally, she stopped when Jiang Jingyu couldn't eat anymore.

Jiang Jingyu returned to her seat with the small gift Qin bought for her.

"How is it? Do you like it?"

Jiang Jingyu nodded: "I like it."

"Wait a minute, mother has something to give you."

The old lady who was peeling the wood Xunzi raised her head and looked towards Qin when she heard this.

Qin took out a brown square box from her sleeve and handed it to Jiang Jingyu, trying to comfort herself seriously.

"I actually wanted to give you this a long time ago, but I was homesick and in a hurry to go back to my hometown in Fuyang, so I forgot about it for a while. I didn't take it out until now. Jingyu, please don't mind."

The old lady's mouth twitched as she watched Qin's self-directed and self-acted performance quietly, rarely not exposing her in person.

"Jingyu was so happy when her mother gave her something, how could she mind?"

"Okay, okay, I feel relieved with Jingyu's words. Open it and take a look."

Qin's eyes lit up and she looked at Jiang Jingyu with some anticipation. The old lady also leaned over here, wanting to see what Qin was going to give her.

Under the gaze of several people, Jiang Jingyu opened the square box in his hand.

hiss--

After seeing what was in the square box, Yinghong, Chenlu and Nanny Lian Qiu all gasped and widened their eyes in shock.

The old lady also looked at Qin in surprise.

He is willing to even give away this treasure. Could it be that he has really changed his personality?

It was a pendant as clear and jade-like as ice. Just by looking at its color, one could tell that it was extremely precious and priceless.

"Mother, this..."

Jiang Jingyu was already surprised by Qin's sudden change of attitude, and now she gave her such a precious jade pendant. Jiang Jingyu's shock was clearly visible on her face.

Qin smiled and explained, "This is the Xiuyan jade that your father-in-law found after searching many places. There are two pieces in total. The jade-colored one was made into the jade pendant in your hand, and the jade-colored one was made into the earrings I wear."

"I have always treasured this jade pendant and have never worn it. Now that I am old, I can no longer wear it. I think this jade pendant is a perfect match for Jingyu, so I will give it to Jingyu today."

After learning the origin of the jade pendant, Jiang Jingyu hurriedly pushed the pendant back.

"Mother, this jade pendant was given to you by father. Please keep it well. Even if you can't wear it, it's a good reminder of it."

"What's the point of keeping it? To me, this thing is just a dead object covered in dust. It will only shine when worn by Jingyu. Put it away quickly. This pair of earrings is enough for me."

"Since it's a gift from my mother, I'll keep it."

Jiang Jingyu was about to refuse when Fu Yanci's voice came from outside the door, and then a large shadow appeared at the door.

"Yan Ci is back." Qin turned her head and looked at Fu Yan Ci: "Mother brought back some specialties from Fuyang, come and try them."

Fu Yanci nodded slightly and walked to the seat next to Jiang Jingyu and sat down.

Nanny Lian Qiu hurriedly took some local specialties and placed them on the table beside Fu Yanci.

Fu Yanci casually picked up a piece of dragon beard pastry and tasted it: "Hmm, it still tastes the same."

Qin puffed out her chest with a proud look on her face: "Of course not, mother specially ran to the original shop to buy it!"

"How have you been these days, Mom?"

"Okay, okay, everything is fine. It's even better now that I can see you!"

Qin, who hadn't seen her son for a month, missed him very much. Now when she saw Fu Yanci, she kept asking him all kinds of questions.

Finally, the topic turned to Jiang Jingyu.

"Yanci, your grandfather and your father are both caring people. From now on, you must follow their example and treat Jingyu well. Do you understand?"

Fu Yanci paused while eating the cake, turned his head and looked at Jiang Jingyu beside him with a serious expression.

"Well, I will definitely love her well."

To others, this statement seemed to be correct, but Jiang Jingyu understood the double meaning of his words.

Qin was exhausted from the long journey, and there was a hint of fatigue in her eyes.

Seeing that the time was almost right, the old lady said calmly, "I plan to hand over the management of the General's Mansion to Jing Yu in the next few days. Do you have any objections?"
