Jiaoer scratched her head: "I just want you to see if I'm doing well."

Shopkeeper Qian looked like a retired old man, drinking milk tea with gusto in his arms, and looked at his daughter with eyes full of pride and pride.

Xiaoxiao did not hesitate to praise, give Qian Jiaoer a thumbs up, and even taught her how to make a new product, which made Jiaoer extremely excited.

After appeasing the fans, Xiaoxiao revealed the reason for her visit today: "Actually, today, I'm here to see the shopkeeper Qian."

Shopkeeper Qian was confused: "Me?"

Xiaoxiao took out the pawn ticket: "To be honest, I want to ask shopkeeper Qian if he still remembers this."

When he saw the name of the shop on the pawn ticket, Shopkeeper Qian felt a trace of nostalgia on his face, but when he saw what was on the pawn ticket, he was a little stunned for a moment.

After carefully looking at it several times, he finally identified the rubbing of the jade pendant on the pawn ticket, which had turned yellow due to age and could not see its original appearance.

"This is……"

To be honest, Xiaoxiao didn't have much hope that he could find this thing, so he was mentally prepared to return without success, but shopkeeper Qian said, "Isn't this the unicorn pendant?"

Xiaoxiao couldn't see Qilin's shadow from the incomplete rubbing at all, so she was surprised: "Shopkeeper Qian has a good memory."

Shopkeeper Qian scratched his head: "It's not that good. I remember this thing mainly because..."

Qian Jiaoer, who was busy giving food and drinks to Xiaoxiao, came over to take a look: "Hey? Isn't this the dowry you prepared for me, dad?"

Shopkeeper Qian glared at his daughter, who made him proud but also made him helpless: "Why do you keep talking about everything!"

Xiaoxiao:......

Shopkeeper Qian told her: "Miss Ning is kind to my family, I won't hide it from you. In fact, there are so many things in my shop, and after so many years, it is impossible for me to remember everything clearly, but I got this jade pendant Later, I asked someone to estimate the price. This jade is of rare quality and is conservatively worth seven to eight hundred taels."

Xiaoxiao asked: "Then why didn't you sell it?"

Shopkeeper Qian was a little embarrassed: "To be honest, I happened not to be here at the time. The clerk took it without thinking much. Later I asked and heard that the person who came to sell things was just an ordinary person. It didn't look like he could sell it." For someone who owns such a good thing, I thought that maybe it was from a bad place, so I didn’t dare to go out for fear of getting into trouble.”

"Although things went smoothly after a long time, I asked everywhere and never heard of any wealthy family that had lost something, and the original owner never came to redeem it. I thought my family happened to be short of an heirloom, so... I just kept it for myself. .”

Later, when he saw Jiao'er growing up, he thought about giving his daughter something that would be close to her body. It would be easy to collect and not conspicuous, but it would be valuable. After considering it, is there anything more suitable than that unicorn pendant? ? So this thing naturally became Jiaoer's dowry.

Regarding her own life experience, Xiaoxiao spoke directly: "Uncle Qian, let me tell you directly, it was my grandfather who came to sell the jade pendant, but it was him who snatched this thing from my house, and it is harmful to my family. I'm important."

Before he finished speaking, Qian Jiaoer, who had just left, had already run back in a hurry, holding a wooden box in his hand: "Sister Xiaoxiao, is this what you are talking about?"

Shopkeeper Qian also pushed the box towards Xiaoxiao. The two of them showed no sign of reluctance. Xiaoxiao couldn't help but laugh. She bowed respectfully towards Shopkeeper Qian and his daughter: "Thank you both."

Of course, you have to take things, but you can’t take them for nothing. Xiaoxiao forced shopkeeper Qian to take back the jade pendant after forcing him to give him eight hundred taels of silver notes according to the market price. Shopkeeper Qian couldn’t refuse, so he had to take it, but reminded Xiaoxiao: "At the beginning, I When I was looking for someone to appraise it, I heard the master say that it is very likely that this thing came from the capital."

Xiaoxiao kept this in mind, and after returning home, she held the jade pendant and looked at it for a long time.

Is this the thing that will reveal the secret of her identity?

If there is a chance, should she go to the capital?

She suspected that her mouth was open, otherwise she would not be able to think about anything. The idea of ​​going to the capital had not turned a few corners when Magistrate Shen came over.

"Your Majesty wants to meet the rice growers, who would it be better for your family to do?"

Ning Fengnian and Song are not good. First of all, their psychological quality is not good enough. Just thinking about it makes their heart beat faster, breathing faster, and almost fainting. Ning An is not good either. He is too out of touch. Even if he has been in front of nobles, he will You have to be careful what you say in officialdom, he can easily get into trouble like this.

From this point of view, only Xiaoxiao and Ning Ansheng can go to the imperial court, but there is another embarrassing thing. In August, Ning Ansheng will take the college examination to test talents.

The college examination was held twice every three years, and it was only held once last year, so if he missed this time, he would have to wait another two years.

Xiaoxiao said without any hesitation: "I'll go."

His family members were worried. Ning Ansheng also said that his talent and learning were weak and needed another two years to settle down. Xiaoxiao sighed: "Brother, when you say this, aren't you afraid that Dean Lu will whip you with a ruler?"

With Ning Ansheng's unremitting efforts and the help of Xiaoxiao's cheating device, his knowledge can be said to have improved by leaps and bounds, and the talent he displayed amazed Dean Lu. He deeply felt that after Chen Yong left, no one in the academy would be qualified. His teacher, so he rolled up his sleeves and went into battle himself.

So now, Ning Ansheng has become the junior disciple of Magistrate Shen and Master Chen, making other students envious.

In fact, County Magistrate Shen did not approve of his junior brother being idle for two years. It was already difficult for him to be dragged down by his old house early on. It was difficult to make up for the lost years. It would be really sad if it were delayed any longer.

But this is the Ning family's business after all, and it's not easy for him to interrupt.

Xiaoxiao looked at everyone's expressions and had no choice but to take out the jade pendant.

"With Master Shen accompanying me, and Brother Yunbi and several other guards protecting me, my parents and brothers don't have to worry about my safety. I'm so smart and have a good attitude. Even if I meet the Holy Emperor, I will be cautious in my words and deeds without making any mistakes. , Furthermore, the jade pendant I wore back then also came from the capital, I want to see it."

As soon as these words came out, no one stopped trying to persuade her. However, after nightfall, when Xiaoxiao passed by her parents' door, she saw that their candles were still on. She didn't have a habit of eavesdropping on other people's conversations, but her hearing was very good after the space upgrade.

"Qiu Niang, do you think we can still see Xiaoxiao after she leaves?"

"Even if she really doesn't come back, could it be that because we are reluctant to leave, we will break the bond between her and her family?"

Ning Fengnian sighed: "Of course it won't happen. Xiaoxiao is so painful. Her parents should miss her so much. As long as her parents are not bandits, I naturally hope that she will be reunited with her family."

"We watched Xiaoxiao grow up. Even if she finds her biological parents in the future, we will just treat her as the daughter of the Ning family."

Xiaoxiao walked lightly and left slowly.

If her biological parents have long forgotten her, she can just treat herself as a passer-by, and there is no need to force her to recognize her. If she finds her biological parents, and they have been missing and looking for her, then they will just have more relatives. The Ning family will always be her home, and the Ning family will always be her family.

She knew that even if she told her many times that she would not lose her, her parents would still be worried, so after cleaning up, she hugged her parents and told them: "Wait until I bring you the specialties of the capital."
