   Chapter 63 Reiki

Mrs. Gu was calm, she grasped the armrest of the chair with one hand, and softened her voice slightly: "Yan Fei, you can figure it out. Everything my grandmother did is for the consideration of the Houfu, it is also for your elder brother, for the sake of You are good."

   "Since you don't want to marry into the Fang family, grandmother can make the decision and promise you."

   Mrs. Gu Tai spoke comforting words to Gu Yanfei in a kind voice.

   Gu Yanfei smiled again, as bright as the stars in the night sky, and just asked, "What is the use of that jade pendant?"

   In other words, what secrets does this jade pendant hide in the British government, so that the British princess will do whatever it takes to get it, which is the case in both worlds.

   "..." Mrs. Gu Tai raised her head and looked at Gu Yanfei, pursed her lips and became silent, her body tensed slightly.

  Her thumbs subconsciously rubbed on the beads, her thoughts were spinning rapidly, she seemed to be hesitating, and she seemed to be weighing the pros and cons.

  The night wind whistled, scratching the branches and leaves recklessly, blowing the hem of the two men's clothes, and the candles in the lanterns were always on and off.

   The servants around didn't dare to make a sound, and looked down at the toes of their shoes.

   For Gu Yanfei, the more Mrs. Gu Tai acted like this, the more certain she was in her heart.

  This jade pendant is very important, very good!

  The corner of Gu Yanfei's lips raised another point, he raised his hand abruptly, took out a jade pendant from the box held by Juan Bi, lifted it high, and tried to smash it...

   Under the backlight, the jade pendant in her hand was not very clear, and Mrs. Gu Tai could only vaguely see that it was a round jade pendant.

   "Stop!"

   Mrs. Gu Tai suddenly opened her eyes wide, unable to hide her horrified expression, she was anxious.

   In case Gu Yanfei really smashed the jade pendant, then he would not be able to explain to the British government, and Gu and Fang would become a dead end!

   This jade pendant must not be in any condition!

   The blue veins on Mrs. Gu Tai's forehead jumped wildly. It was obviously cold winter, but beads of sweat rolled down from her forehead.

   Her icy gaze froze on Gu Yanfei's body, the two looked at each other and had a silent stalemate.

   Silence spreads.

   At this moment, even the wind stopped, and the shadows of the trees in the dark place were all still.

   Mrs. Gu Tai's breath became thicker, and her chest rose and fell more and more intensely. Slowly, the whole person began to calm down again, and her eyes settled down, as if she had made a decision.

   After a while, Mrs. Gu Tai waved her hand.

   The maids and ladies around him immediately understood and silently stepped back.

   Juan Bi, who was holding the box, looked at Gu Yanfei's face and stepped back.

   There were only their grandparents and grandchildren around, and they were all silent, and the lanterns went away as the people retreated.

  Several feet in radius, only the silver moonlight poured down from the night sky and sprinkled silver frost on the ground.

  Gu Yanfei is still standing, his clothes are light, and his long skirt is dragging on the ground;

   Mrs. Gu Tai sat on the shoulder chair, looking old and haggard.

   Mrs. Gu Tai cleared her throat and admitted in a low voice, "The British lady really wants a jade pendant."

   Once you get started, it’s much easier to move on.

Mrs. Gu Tai rationalized her thoughts and said: "Fifty years ago in May, Emperor Taizu led his troops into the capital. On the day the capital was destroyed, the last emperor of the previous dynasty set fire to the emperor. The city, along with the queen, concubines, princes and daughters, all died in the sea of ​​fire."

   "The surname of the successor of the last emperor was Yu, from the Yu family of Yingchuan."

   "She is the great aunt of the English duchess."

   Having said this, Mrs. Gu Tai paused, her eyes flashed, and she seemed to remember some old things.

  Gu Yanfei didn't rush, just looked at her like that.

   After a while, Mrs. Gu Tai continued: "After your mother got married, I noticed that there was a jade pendant in her dowry. This jade pendant belonged to Empress Yu back then... I have seen it before."

   Mrs. Gu Tai's maiden name is Qi. In Yingchuan, Yuzhou, although it is not a noble family, it is also a famous local family. When she was a child, Mrs. Gu Tai also went to Yu's house to play, and she also met the distinguished Empress Yu.

On the day of Empress Yu's marriage, according to local customs, it was necessary for virgins and girls to say some auspicious words to the bride. Mrs. Gu Tai was young at that time and was called to go. She once saw the aunt of the Yu family wearing this dress with her own eyes. Piece of jade.

  This kind of jade pendant is rare, especially the carving is the craftsmanship of Master Lu, a local carving master in Yingchuan. The phoenix pattern is carved vividly and ingeniously. What is obviously different from ordinary jade pendants is that the phoenix head has no eyes.

   Therefore, Mrs. Gu Tai saw it at a glance.

   Thinking of the past so many years ago, Mrs. Gu Tai also felt a little sigh.

   The prosperity and bustle of the year are still in front of us, but now it is a vicissitudes of life, and things are different.

   Mrs. Gu Tai calmed down and opened her lips again: "Fourteen years ago, not long after Sister Cong arrived in the capital, the British lady-in-law came to ask for her son's marriage."

   In those days, the British government was far stronger than the Dingyuan Houfu, and it is now.

However, the Houfu temporarily proposed to change the candidate for marriage, but the British government did not object. Even the last time the British princess came, she also expressed her intention to have this marriage, and the words revealed that the Gu family did not care about getting married. Whoever it is, I can't regret this marriage.

   Mrs. Gu Tai is not a fool, she has long felt it, and the British lady has made it clear that she has other plans.

   And the only thing that can make the other party have a plan, in Mrs. Gu Tai's view, is only the jade pendant with the phoenix pattern.

  Gu Yanfei raised his hand and brushed his hair that had been blown away by the night wind, and asked casually, "If that jade pendant really belongs to the Yu family, why is it in my mother's dowry?"

   "I don't know about that." Mrs. Gu Tai sighed, lowered her face and coughed a few times, looking weak and haggard.

   She wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, stretched out her hand to Gu Yanfei again, and said in a pleasant manner, "Yanfei, give me the jade pendant."

  Gu Yanfei stared deeply at Mrs. Gu Tai, as if she wanted to see through the other party inside and out, and then she put the jade pendant into her sleeve pocket with her backhand.

   Mrs. Gu Tai, who had reluctantly made a genial look, turned her face like she was turning a book, her eyes shone with a sinister light, and her hands were frozen in the air.

   Gu Yanfei waved his sleeves with a smile that was not a smile, and stood with his hands behind his back leisurely, with a clear voice: "Don't worry, Madam Tai, I and Zai Gu's family are standing together. When Madam Tai needs a jade pendant, I will give it."

After    paused, she added slowly: "However, not now."

   "If Mrs. Tai is all right, I will continue to count my mother's dowry."

   "..." Mrs. Gu Tai's face was even more ugly.

   Before she came, she made up her mind to force Gu Yanfei to hand over the keys, but now, she has even handed over her own cards.

   A stubborn leaf was swept over by the evening wind, and it happened to fall between Mrs. Gu Tai's hair, she didn't notice it.

  Gu Yanfei ignored her, turned around, and greeted Juan Bi to enter the small warehouse together.

After    entered the room, she spread out her right palm.

   On the palm is a suet white jade pendant engraved with a circle of phoenix patterns.

   This jade pendant was picked by Gu Yanfei from several jade pendants in Xie's dowry.

   She was sure that this was what the British duchess wanted, because among the things in the storeroom, only this jade pendant released a faint aura.

   This aura comes from the jade material itself.

In fact, its aura is very weak. If it were in the Yaoling world, it would not even be as good as a low-grade spiritual stone, and it would be far from a treasure of heaven and earth. Gu Yanfei would not even look at it, but in this small world, only It seems extremely rare.
