Shi Liu met Pan Jinlian on the road, and she actually greeted her in a friendly manner, which surprised Shi Liu.
Seeing this, Su Sanlan explained, "I guess Pan Zhiqing was frightened by what happened to Liu Tiantian and the other one. After all, they used to live in the same room, and the other two were suddenly arrested. It's normal for Pan Zhiqing to be frightened."
Although Shi Liu thought Su Sanlan's words made sense, she felt that Pan Jinlian's eyes looked at her with a hint of flattery. Pan Jinlian was no less arrogant than Liu Feixue. She had always looked down on herself, thinking that she was just a country girl with nothing to offer except her beauty. It was surprising that she was now so humble.
Shi Liu had no idea that Pan Jinlian had learned from Liu Tiantian and the others that Shi Liu would marry into a wealthy family in Beijing and prosper. She had previously had some issues with Shi Liu due to her outstanding appearance, and Pan Jinlian was worried that Shi Liu would find fault with her in the future, after all, she herself was that kind of person.
"It would be best if she behaved honestly. Mother is truly frightened by the audacity of these educated youth. That seemingly fragile educated youth, Liu Piaoxu, actually dared to work as a dealer on the black market. It's truly shocking. Our production team had a good chance of being selected as an advanced production team tomorrow, but after this series of events, it's unlikely to happen next year."
Shi Liu thought about the benefits brought by the advanced production team and felt a little sorry: "Uncle has been busy for a long time for this. I'm afraid that all the troubles will make him angry to death. I really hope these educated youth can be quiet in the future."
As the mother and daughter were talking, they arrived at Uncle Shi's door. "Is the captain home? We're here to give him a New Year's gift."
When my aunt heard the sound, she quickly got up and opened the door, saying with a smile, "Why did you two come here so early in the morning? It's so cold outside, don't catch a cold."
Su Sanlan patted her thick cotton-padded jacket proudly and said, "It's okay. I made new cotton this year. It's very thick."
The big cotton-padded jacket looked very warm. My aunt-in-law looked at my younger sister-in-law with envy. The cotton was probably given by her son-in-law. My younger sister-in-law was really lucky.
Su Sanlan became even more proud when she saw this, but it was a pity that she couldn't say that it was her daughter who bought the cotton, otherwise she would have to pull her sister-in-law to show off.
"This year, my son-in-law sent some wine to our house. I thought her uncle also likes to drink, so I simply brought a jar over. In addition, there was also some pig's head meat, which I let her uncle eat as a snack."
As soon as Uncle Shi left the house, he heard his sister-in-law coming to serve him some wine. He grinned happily and said, "Shi Liu, come in with your mother quickly. It's very windy outside."
Su Sanlan almost couldn't help but curl her lips. It turned out that the New Year gifts she had given before were too little, otherwise why hadn't she seen her uncle so enthusiastic before.
Uncle Shi originally thought that the wine was just a small bottle, but he didn't expect that he would actually give him a large jar. Fortunately, his second son brought back a lot of local specialties from Yunnan Province when he came back, otherwise it would be difficult to return the gift.
Shi Jiandang greeted Shi Liu happily when he saw her: "Shi Liu, I heard you found a partner, and he's a soldier. Not bad, not bad."
Shi Liu and her cousin had a pretty good relationship, after all, they had spent some time together. "Well, Zhou Pan is on a mission up in the mountains. It's a pity it's not convenient for him to come down, otherwise I would have let my second cousin check on him."
"It's okay. We'll all be relatives, so there'll be plenty of opportunities in the future." Shi Jiandang was a soldier himself and had a very positive attitude towards soldiers. "Does Zhou Pan's family know about your situation?"
"I don't know. His family is well off. I'm worried that they won't agree. I plan to wait until I get into university." Shi Liu naturally couldn't say that she was worried that the Zhou family would do something bad and cause her to lose her place in university.
Speaking of college, Shi Jiandang recalled the news he'd accidentally heard from his old leader: "Shi Liu, study hard. You never know when the college entrance exam will resume. By then, there will inevitably be comparisons between those recommended for college and those who passed."
Shi Liu raised an eyebrow. It seemed like there were quite a few people who were well-informed. "Second cousin, don't worry. My grades have always been good, and I can pass even a serious exam. But is it true that the college entrance examination will be resumed? If it can be resumed next year or the year after, I won't go to university through recommendation. Wouldn't it be better to take the exam directly?"
"The situation is still unclear, so just in case, you still have to get this recommendation."
Shi Liu nodded: "I understand. Thank you, second cousin."
"Why would you say thank you to me, my mom made some sugar-roasted chestnuts. You can take some back with you later."
"Okay, I'm greedy."
The sugar-roasted chestnuts made by my aunt are amazing. Unfortunately, sugar is a rare food these days, and people usually don’t use it to fry chestnuts. My aunt only makes it during the Chinese New Year, and Shi Liu cherishes this opportunity very much.
As she was talking, the aunt took out a plate of sugar-roasted chestnuts and placed it in front of Shi Liu: "It's fresh out of the pot, hot. Eat it quickly, or it won't taste good if it gets cold."
"Thank you, aunt." Shi Liu happily ate the sugar-roasted chestnuts.
Shi Jiandang didn't feel comfortable competing with his cousin for food, so he simply grabbed a handful of fried peanuts and started eating. "I didn't expect there really was a prince's tomb on the hill behind our village. I heard it's quite large, and there must be a lot of good things inside. Has the village been in turmoil lately?"
"Well, I heard from Zhou Pan that several waves of spies were caught."
"To drive the spies so crazy, I'm afraid something in this tomb is very tempting to them."
After returning home, Shi Jiandang also learned about what happened in Baijia Village. He guessed that there should be something similar to the lucky charm in that tomb, otherwise it would not be worth wasting so many chess pieces for just a little bit of money.
Somehow, after listening to her second cousin's words, Shi Liu always felt that those people were looking for the money tree. After she got the money tree, Master Fengming told her that there were two imitations in the tomb, which means that there were actually three money trees buried at the time.
This incident was ultimately due to the suspicious nature of the imperial family. Crown Prince Fengming, fearing someone might tamper with the fortune tree, simply created three identical trees, only one nourished with blood. In other words, to capture the deposed crown prince's fortune, one must find the true "money tree."
Emperor Feng Zheng was undecided at first, so he simply buried all three. Perhaps this was one of the reasons why Prince Fengming and his wife were able to see the light of day again.
Although the real "Money Tree" is now in his hands, no one except Zhou Pan knows about it, so those overseas spies naturally don't know about it either. In order to obtain the real dragon's luck, they try to rob the tomb again and again.
It was only after his death that Prince Fengming found out that he was actually a real dragon. Unfortunately, Feng Zheng and Bai Luopo plotted to kill him. He was a real dragon, and the Purple Dragon, the destiny of the Tianfeng Dynasty, was condensed in his body. After his death, his only son, Prince Rui, inherited this destiny. This is also one of the reasons why natural disasters continued to occur in the Tianfeng Dynasty after Prince Rui's death.
If Prince Fengming had not been murdered, the Tianfeng Dynasty would not have been so short. It was precisely because of the accidental death of the real dragon that the fortune tree was filled with strong luck, and even carried the lucky purple dragon. This was one of the main reasons why those people were jealous.
After figuring it out, Shi Liu pursed her lips a little embarrassedly. Zhou Pan had suffered so much...
