Madam Wu bent down and picked up Wei Xun's jade pendant and handed it to Mrs. Zhao, "Grandma, take a look again, is this really from Beidi Kingdom?"
Old Mrs. Zhao took it in her hand and looked at it again and again with squinted eyes, "Yes, it's this carved pattern. My son has been to Beidi once before and said that he saw the emperor's relatives wearing such jade pendants on the road, and the jade pendants were The purer the color, the higher the status of the person.”
After that, he held the jade pendant up to the light.
"It looks like the jade pendant is quite pure, with no flaws at all."
Du Wanchun and Madam Wu looked up together, their eyes darkening.
Mrs. Wu quickly took the jade pendant from Mrs. Zhao and said with a smile: "This jade pendant seems to have been picked up by my husband. He probably picked up the belongings of some dignitary."
Old Mrs. Zhao really believed it and said with a smile: "Your husband is so lucky to see such a valuable thing. I guess it can be sold for a lot of money." ?.?????.???
Madam Wu put the jade pendant back into Wei Xun's hand and said with a smile, "I don't know, maybe no one will buy this jade pendant."
Mrs. Zhao pointed towards the market outside the village, "Go to Chang'an County, there should be someone to buy it."
Madam Wu looked up and responded with a smile, "Next time I'll try it with Wan Chun."
Mrs. Zhao smiled and nodded, then turned and left the Zhou family.
Waiting for Mrs. Zhao to leave, Mrs. Wu excitedly pulled Du Wanchun and said: "Wangchun, this jade pendant has always been worn by my husband, can it be his...?"
She said and looked at Wei Xun.
Wei Xun rubbed the back of his head, still a little confused, "Then I am from Beidi Kingdom?"
Madam Wu frowned and bit her lip, feeling at a loss.
Du Wanchun comforted them and said, "Don't worry, we can check it slowly. Maybe Brother Wei will remember it in a few days."
Mrs. Wu lowered her head, her face full of sadness, "I'm afraid that I won't be able to reach his status."
When Wei Xun heard this, he quickly pulled Mrs. Wu to him and said: "Don't worry, no matter what status I am, you are my wife, and I am your husband. There is no need to be high or low, as long as you have something in your heart." Me, then we are a match made in heaven.”
Mrs. Wu was very moved when she heard this, her eyes were slightly filled with tears, and she hugged Wei Xun tightly.
Du Wanchun looked on with a happy smile on his face.
In addition, Xiao Mianmian and Xiao Qing'er in the room waved their hands and smiled.
Wei Xun helped Mrs. Wu into the house.
After Du Wanchun bought two pieces of land from the Zhao family, he bought three or four more pieces of land.
Wei Xun said he didn't want to live in Zhou's house, so he helped Yi Yi farm.
Now Zhou Ruiyuan and the third prince are in the capital, so Wei Xun is the only male in the family.
Wei Xun was quite smart. He listened to Du Wanchun and took some money to find several young men in the village to plant the fields together.
Seeing that he was so capable, Du Wanchun specially gave him and Mrs. Wu more silver.
Two people can build their own house with only two silver coins.
However, Du Wanchun still let them stay, "Sister Wu, Xiao Mianmian is reluctant to leave Qing'er, you should continue to live here."
Now that little Mianmian was half a year old and still needed to be fed, Mrs. Wu softened her heart and decided to continue living with the Zhou family with her family.
The Zhou family's new house is a small courtyard with three entrances, and there are five or six guest rooms in it. Mrs. Wu and Aunt Xu Xiaomei Zhuang live here without taking up space, but instead make the house lively.
These days passed day by day, and Zhou Ruiyuan's interview was about to begin.
Du Wanchun prayed silently at home.
The trial began soon, and Zhou Ruiyuan won the first place as scheduled.
In the palace, the emperor saw the list of candidates for this audition and was a little surprised when he saw Zhou Ruiyuan's name.
Zhou Ruiyuan changed his name since he took the provincial examination, and the emperor always saw his pseudonym.
He was quite happy to see his adopted son at the top of the list, and said with a smile: "This Zhou family is indeed extraordinary. There are so many talented people in the family."
The old eunuch on the side smiled and said: "Yes, this eldest brother of the Zhou family seems to be a talented person. Your Majesty, you can promote him well."
After hearing this, the emperor sighed and said: "If my sons were still alive, they would probably be like them, high-spirited and talented."
"I won't have a headache choosing the prince."
Recently, Princess Duan has been forcing him to establish the crown prince earlier.
He didn't have many heirs in his harem. He had a few princes, but they were not very successful.
Among them, there was a fifth prince named Liangquan who was timid but very obedient, and Princess Duan wanted to promote him.
Concubine Duan originally wanted to give birth to another child and then pretend that she was born to a concubine in the harem and establish her as the prince. However, she has been sick recently and her health is not good.
No, Princess Duan called the emperor to her palace again, "Your Majesty, what do you think? Although Prince Wu is timid and afraid of getting into trouble, compared with your other uneducated children, he is pretty good. As long as he Let the ministers in the court take care of him, and the country will not be destroyed."
The emperor frowned. He knew that Concubine Duan also wanted to control the next emperor, so he had been hesitating.
Concubine Duan coughed violently, "Your Majesty, you must decide on your choice of crown prince as soon as possible, otherwise when I leave, and when you leave, who will be in charge of this declining Xuanyue Kingdom!"
