Chapter 319 Could it be that all this happened for a reason?
Erbao said calmly, "We are all fine, how are the two Shaoxuan brothers?"
Madam Jin was dejected. "They both rested. Shaoxuan was frightened, and Shaoyuan didn't understand anything and just thought it was fun."
Then he added, "We are indebted to your family for saving our lives! If it weren't for you, we would all be finished in Handan River No. 1 today."
"You are too polite, ma'am. It is all thanks to my sister."
As they were talking, Cai finished giving little Yuanbao a bath and opened the door.
Everyone rushed in.
Xiao Yuanbao was putting on her socks by herself while Cai was wiping her hair.
The little guy is clumsy.
How to put it on your feet.
She cried, "Mom, why are these socks so disobedient?"
Everyone laughed.
Madam Jin rushed over first and said, "Let me help you put them on. You should put on the socks from here..."
"Thank you, auntie!" the little guy smiled sweetly.
Mrs. Jin took the socks and gently held them to her little feet, preparing to put them on. She saw a small heart-shaped birthmark on the sole of her foot.
"Huh? Little Yuanbao also has a heart-shaped birthmark on the sole of his foot?"
Little Yuanbao narrowed his eyes and smiled sweetly, "Yes, there is a little heart growing on my baby's foot."
Erbao asked calmly, "Could it be that someone has the same birthmark as my sister?"
Madam Jin smiled and said, "Well, I have a little niece who is the same age as Xiao Yuanbao. Coincidentally, she also has a heart-shaped birthmark on the sole of her foot since she was a child. I haven't seen her for the past two years. I guess she is the same height as Xiao Yuanbao and just as cute now."
Mrs. Jin's smile deepened when she talked about her little niece.
It seems that she likes it very much.
Cai added, "That's really a coincidence. She must be a cute little girl. There will be a chance that she will become a sister of our little Yuanbao in the future."
"Yes!" Mrs. Jin helped little Yuanbao put on his socks and little shoes.
"Thank you, Auntie. You are so kind."
Madam Jin was delighted. "You little girl, you are sweet-mouthed and capable. Now I envy your mother again! Thank you for saving our two little brats today. If it weren't for you, they would have been eaten by the water monster."
Little Yuanbao said softly, "Shaoxuan and his friends are unlucky. They have no luck, so they encounter more bad things. In the same situation, others can still be cautious, but Shaoxuan and his friends can't. They will be the first to get into trouble."
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously.
Madam Jin quickly added, "Yes, yes, you are right. It's just that they are so unlucky. Sometimes they get food stuck in their teeth when they eat or drink. Why do they have no luck? Xiao Yuanbao, can you help me take a look?"
Little Yuanbao shook his head gently. "Baby didn't see it. I just saw that they have no luck. I don't know why they have no luck. It's even possible that they were born without luck..."
"No, it wasn't like this when they were young. When they were young, both brothers were healthy, smart and lively, just like normal people. But in recent years, our family's luck has not been good. Not only the two children's luck has changed, but their father used to be a second-rank military commander, but he has been demoted and is now only a sixth-rank."
Mrs. Jin hasn't even mentioned that even her own family has fallen into decline.
All the brothers in the family suffered misfortunes and all their family properties were sold off. In the past, their family was considered a famous family in the capital.
I never thought about it in this regard before, but now that it is mentioned, my heart is shocked.
Could it be that all this has a reason?
Before she witnessed Xiao Yuanbao and his friends fighting the water monster and killing Grandma Handan River, she would definitely not take it to heart even if Xiao Yuanbao told her these things.
Now she listened carefully to every word and sentence that Xiao Yuanbao said, pondering them over and over again.
Sanbao couldn't help but interject curiously, "I didn't expect that Master Jin was such a high-ranking official in the past, and he lived such a glorious life!"
Upon hearing this, Cai was also at a loss as to what to do.
Madam Jin said, "That was in the past. Besides, it doesn't matter if you are an official or not. The greatest blessing is for your family to be safe and healthy. Alas!"
"Alas!" Cai thought of Dabao's whereabouts and sighed. "I don't ask my children to be rich, I just want them to be together safely."
The topic returned to the question of the fortunes of the Jin Shaoxuan brothers.
Xiao Yuanbao put his index finger in his mouth and sucked it for a long time, then thought of a key point, "Then what is it that makes you feel particularly unlucky?"
Madam Jin thought for a moment, "The capital? Every time I go back to the capital, something bad happens. It would be better if our head of the family was demoted and sent to another place."
So, this time she really didn't want to bring her two children back to Beijing.
But it was the old lady’s 60th birthday, so he had to go back.
Master Jin Er has always attached great importance to filial piety. Although he is not the old lady's biological son, he was raised by the old lady and respects the old lady as his legal mother.
If their family didn't go back to attend the old lady's birthday party, who knows what unpleasant things would be spread by people outside.
When I went back, I was worried again.
That’s not all. On the way, the two children almost died.
Fortunately, I met a great and talented person.
Little Yuanbao said, "The source should be in the capital! If I have time in the future, I will stay with you and help you find out what's going on."
Madam Jin said hurriedly, "You are going to the capital this time anyway, why don't you stay in our Jin Mansion? You are unfamiliar with the capital, and you certainly haven't thought of a place to stay..."
Before she could say anything, Erbao clearly rejected her.
"Madam Jin, I appreciate your kindness. We may be delayed on the road. We have to go all the way to Beijing to find my eldest brother. We can't go back with you. Before my eldest brother's safety and whereabouts are found, my sister will not accept any agency. I hope you can understand."
Little Yuanbao also nodded in agreement, "Yes, second brother is right, let's find big brother first."
Mrs. Jin was disappointed and she forced a smile.
"Okay, when you get to the capital, you must come find us, Xiao Yuanbao, you can ask for any amount of silver you want."
After saying this, he went back to the house and brought out a heavy box.
When he opened it, he saw a box of gold ingots, about a hundred taels.
One hundred ounces of gold is equal to one thousand ounces of silver.
When Cai saw it, she was frightened.
"Too much! Too much!"
Madam Jin said, "This is a reward to thank Xiao Yuanbao for saving my two sons' lives. Five hundred taels of silver are worth each of my two sons. Please accept it. If you don't accept it, we will owe you such a great favor and we will feel bad. In fact, we are short of money and don't have much wealth. If our old man was as glorious as he was when he was a second-rank official, this life-saving silver would be multiplied several times..."
Now that things have come to this.
Cai had no choice but to accept it.
Ten amulets and five talismans to ward off evil spirits were given to Madam Jin as a gift.
It is also equivalent to the value of one thousand and two taels of silver.
It was like selling the talisman to Madam Jin again.
