Destroyed outside, gold and jade inside

Chapter 113 72 Dragon Plate

When Aunt An heard this, she wanted to persuade her again.

Shen Siniang quickly stretched out her hand, "Stop, stop! Auntie, stop talking! I won't be staying here for a few days anyway! Don't worry about other people's daughters, you should take care of me first!"

Aunt An sighed, and taught her how to cut a wedding dress.

Shen Shangshu rinsed the wine jar containing Nurhong, and showed off to the boy with a smile: "This is the authentic Nurhong bought from Shaoxing! It has been buried for more than ten years, and it is very mellow!"

The boy nodded and bowed repeatedly, "That's that! What's wrong with the things the master prepared for the ladies?"

Shen Shangshu stroked his beard with a smile, "It's also the daughters who strive for success!"

The boy blinked his eyes and said suddenly: "When the eldest lady got married, she didn't have this."

"Can it be the same?!" Shen Shangshu slapped the boy on the forehead with his backhand.

After the fight, he was taken aback.Although the aunt had always been at odds with him, every time she came back she put on a cold and distant face, and even the voice of calling her father was full of irony.But being a good lady is really only good for him and not bad!Don't say that King Qi is doting on her now!Even Si Niang was able to get acquainted with the young master of the Qin family, wasn't it thanks to her?

Shen Shangshu chuckled, "You kid is right! Not bad!"

The young man rubbed his forehead that hurt from being slapped, said he was right and got beaten?

Shen Shangshu happily went back to the study alone, leaving the servant outside the study.He went into the dark room alone and opened the two boxes of treasures sent by the Qin family.When Shen Xinniang married the Feng family, she was given a dowry, which was left to her by the Qin family back then.He didn't add makeup to her.

Later, a small sedan chair was sent to Prince Qi's mansion, not to mention, her dowry was in her own hands, and besides sending it to be a concubine, he never thought of it at all.Later, even Qin's pawn shop came into Shen Xiniang's hands, and he resented that she didn't have time, so he didn't think about it.Now that the fourth lady is married, he suddenly understands with a word from the servant.

It is also necessary to send some gifts to the eldest lady, whether it is to maintain the relationship between father and daughter, or to thank her for bringing such a good marriage to the fourth lady, it is a courtesy, so that the father and daughter will not become more and more alienated.And the children are able to study in the Caotang Academy now, thanks to the wind blowing by her pillow, isn't it?He also said he couldn't blow, how could he not know how to blow?
After turning for a while, he couldn't bear anything.What the Qin family can produce is naturally not bad.He liked it at a glance, but his heart ached when he thought about giving it away.After a while, he finally found a compass and an ancient book.

When he was young, he also saw the mention of the compass in the scriptures, but he didn't study it carefully, so it didn't make sense.Although the compass is exquisite, he is not very good at using it.The ancient book dug out is the "Taixuan Jing" written by Taoist Yang Xiong, an isolated copy.Naturally, it is expensive.But he is not proficient in this way, compared to other things, he is not so reluctant.

When the compass disk and "Taixuan Jing" were delivered to Shen Xinniang, Shen Xinniang was shocked.

"Father, give it to me? Send something?" Her dark eyes were full of doubts.

"That's right, it was said on the door that it was indeed Shen Shangshu who sent someone in!" Dan Xin nodded repeatedly.

"Sister Danxin, you can't make a mistake, right?" Jin Xiang also had a look of disbelief after having met the Shen family.

Dan Xin glared at her, "If you want to make a mistake, you can only make a mistake on the door, how can I make a mistake?!"

The two maids argued, Shen Xiniang opened the cloth bag and the wooden box.The well-preserved solitary copy of "Tai Xuan Jing" lies quietly in the wooden box.The exquisite compass is pressing on the "Tai Xuan Jing".

Shen Xinniang's eyes fixed on the compass.She didn't realize that her hand reaching for the compass was trembling slightly.

The two servant girls, who had sharp eyes, stopped arguing immediately and looked at her worriedly.She had always been moody and angry, but now she had a bright shock on her face.

"This is the astrolabe disk, also known as the 72 dragon disk, which evolved and improved from the 24 mountain disk. It is different from the general compass, and it is more accurate. It combines the five elements and eight trigrams, and the yin and yang universe." Shen Xinniang murmured.

The two maids looked at each other, what is the lady talking about?

Shen Xinniang held the compass in one hand and "Taixuan Jing" in the other.

"It's Yang Xiong, Yang Zi's only copy of "Taixuan Jing"! Father, it's really a masterpiece!" Shen Xinniang let out a long sigh.Her whole body seemed to be overwhelmed by the air pressure.

Dan Xin stepped forward cautiously, "Lady, you... you mean, these two things are very expensive?"

Shen Xinniang was slightly taken aback, "Precious?"

Is not it?Why should the lady be so shocked?Why bother to feel generous?
Shen Xinniang nodded, "For those who understand, it is naturally called precious. It's just that I am very surprised, why am I so familiar with these 72 dragon plates?"

"Have you seen it before?" Dan Xin immediately asked in surprise.

"Miss, do you remember the past?" Jin Xiang also stepped forward excitedly.

There was doubt in Shen Xinniang's dark eyes.There was a moment of silence, her gaze kept on the compass in her hand.It's like trying to search for the memory of this in the brain.

After a while, she shook her head, as if giving up.

"I can't remember... I just feel familiar. It used to be the same way. Occasionally, something inexplicable will suddenly make me feel familiar. I search, but I can't find any trace." In Shen Xinniang's calm tone, she revealed A little regret.

The two maids sighed.I thought the lady finally remembered something!It's fine if you don't care, the longer you get along, the more you understand that the lady doesn't really care about her past.The lady wants to retrieve those lost memories!
"Madam, why don't you accept these gifts and look at them later, maybe you will remember something someday?" Dan Xin whispered.

"Where can I put it away!" Jin Xiang objected. "It should be placed on the desk under the window, so that you can see it when you look up and down, so that you can remember it faster!"

"Go to Shen's house!" Shen Xiniang ignored the dispute between the two maids.

"Huh?" Jin Xiang was taken aback.

Dan Xin immediately reached out and pushed her, "Hurry up and prepare the horse!"

"Oh! Oh oh!" Jin Xiang hurriedly turned and went out.

Shen Shangshu was sipping tea leisurely.The day of the young year is coming soon, thinking that he will have a relationship with the Sanxian Qin's family, he is very happy in his heart.

Suddenly I heard that the servants came to report that the eldest lady was back.Although he was a little impatient, his face was not as ugly as usual.

"Please come here!" Shen Shangshu said arrogantly.

"Father." Shen Xiniang blessed her body without being too polite, "I have received the gift from my father."

"So you came to thank you?" Shen Shangshu curled his lips.

"Excuse me, father, where did these two things come from?" Shen Xinniang asked.

Shen Shangshu took a look at her, "Didn't you come back to thank me? Are you here to question me?"

Shen Xinniang looked at him with dark eyes, but did not answer.

Shen Shangshu snorted coldly, "I thought you knew how to be polite! You are still so unprogressive! You just accept things for your father. If you have the heart, you will reciprocate the gift and prepare a gift in return! If you don't have the heart, you will be grateful to your father." I'm also thinking about you, and it's okay if you don't return the gift! How can you be so ignorant of etiquette? Come back and question me? Could it be that I stole it and snatched it?!"

Shen Xinniang looked at the unreasonable Shen Shangshu, and let out a soft breath, "Dan Xin, return the gift."

Danxin heard the words and presented a pair of jade pendants.The emerald color is bright, the jasper is flawless, and the lustrous color makes people fondle admiringly.

Shen Shangshu is also a well-informed person, but the first time he saw this pair of jade pendants, his eyes seemed to grow in, and he couldn't pull them out.

"Father, can you tell me now, where did you get the 72 Dragon Plates and the "Taixuan Jing"?" Shen Xinniang said without any emotion in her tone.

Shen Shangshu didn't even look back, only the pair of emerald and flawless jade pendants were left in his eyes, as if they were about to drip green oil, "Would you like love? Don't worry about where it came from!"

Dan Xin stared, and stepped forward to take back the pair of jade pendants.

Shen Shangshu flung himself on the jade pendants, tightly protecting the two jade pendants in his arms, as if he would play his life with anyone who wanted to snatch it from him.

"Do you want to say it, or can't say it?" Shen Xinniang asked.

"Is there a difference? This is how you discipline your maids? There is no big or small, no respect! If it was in the Shen family, it would have been sold out!" Shen Shangshu reprimanded Dan Xin.

Dan Xin snorted coldly.

"I just want to know where it came from." Shen Xinniang's tone showed impatience.

"It's a gift from someone! It's useless to put it here. The compass is fun, you can just play with it! Why do you ask so many?" Shen Shangshu curled his lips in disdain. Go and find out who sent it to you?"

Shen Xinniang pursed her lips.

Dan Xin will go forward to argue with Shen Shangshu again.Jin Xiang tugged her.Dan Xin turned her head and stared at her, "Why are you dragging me?!"

Jin Xiang winked at her, "The lady is gone!"

Sure enough, Shen Xinniang had already got up and was stepping out of the threshold.Dan Xin snorted at Shen Shangshu, and stepped up to chase Shen Xiniang.

Shen Shangshu smiled disdainfully, "If you hadn't thought that you are maidservants in Prince Qi's mansion, come and sell some!"

Danxin Jinxiang catches up.

"Is the lady not asking anymore?" Dan Xin asked with a frown.

Shen Xinniang shook her head, "I am impatient."

Hearing her steady voice, Dan Xin felt astringent in his heart.

It is so easy to find something related to my past, maybe it is to find a breakthrough from the past?Whoever it is, would be impatient right now, right?
"My lady, even if Shen Shangshu doesn't tell you, you will know sooner or later!" Dan Xin comforted.

"I know." Shen Xinniang nodded slowly.
