Chapter 73: Pure Jade

"Master, the carriage is ready. When will we set off?"

Wei Xingzhen held today's newspaper in one hand and porridge bowl in the other, "Wait a minute."

"Well, are we really not going to take it up the mountain this time?"

"Well, Mr. He and Di Yang also need people here." Wei Xingzhen glanced at Shi, "What's wrong, don't you want to go?"

"How can I..." Geji smiled embarrassedly, "I just fear that my wife... I think I'm noisy. If someone doesn't rely on me, I can talk to him even if I have something to do."

Wei Xingzhen looked up at the sunlight outside, and it seemed that Chen Shi had passed - Feng Yan had not come out yet.

He was a little strange. There was a Feng family's mountain residence on Daizong Mountain. A Yan had very few things to bring every time she went out. If she packed her luggage, she wouldn't have packed it for so long.

Wei Xingzhen put down the mansion report, "You go outside and wait, I'll go back to the small building to take a look."

"Hey!"

...

On the second floor of the small building, Feng Yan was searching for something.

Her body was still a little weak. Every time she turned on a cabinet, she had to rest nearby for a while.

"A Yan?" Wei Xingzhen's voice came from downstairs, "Are you here?"

"Here." Feng Yan replied in a low voice.

"Can you come up?"

She sighed, "No, it's too messy."

Feng Yan sat on the ground a little depressedly - the ground around her was filled with boxes and brocade boxes of all sizes, but none of them contained what she wanted.

Wei Xingzhen stood at the entrance of the stairs on the first floor and looked up, "What are A Yan looking for?"

"A stone." Feng Yan said softly.

"Stone?"

Feng Yan nodded—the piece of uncensored jade that my aunt secretly stuffed into her hands on the day of her marriage.

It happened to be this time when she went to Daizong Mountain. She thought she could take it with her to visit her aunt deep in the forest and ask her about the mystery of this stone.

However, just a few days later... she actually forgot where she put the things at that time.

“Is there any under the wardrobe?”

"Flipped, no."

"Foot of the bed?"

"No."

“On the bookshelf?”

"..." Feng Yan continued to shake her head - these are the places where she would put small objects on weekdays, but she had searched them just now.

"Where is behind the mirror?"

Feng Yan was stunned, and a light flashed in her eyes. She immediately got up and walked towards the dressing table, reaching out to grop behind the mirror frame of the bronze mirror.

"Ah," Feng Yan shouted softly, "I have it!"

Wei Xingzhen is really...good.

When Feng Yan took back his hand, there was an extra wooden box on his hand. When he opened the wooden box, the uncensored jade was indeed lying quietly inside.

Wei Xingzhen's voice came from downstairs again, "How long will it take for A Yan?"

However, at this moment, Feng Yan's eyes were difficult to move away from the jade in her hand.

She frowned gently.

Is it an illusion?

Feng Yan's fingertips gently stroked the raised edges on the jade. Its texture is still very rough, and the entire stone is covered with a blue-green green like copper rust.

However, Feng Yan vaguely felt that this stone seemed a little warmer than when my aunt handed it to her that day.

"A Yan?"

"Here," Feng Yan came to her senses, "I'll be fine soon."

...

When Feng Yan changed her clothes and went downstairs, she saw Wei Xingzhen sitting in the hall on the first floor wiping her sword.

Wei Xingzhen had gauze and deer skin stained with sword oil in his hand - it seemed that Wei Xingzhen was not idle either while waiting for her.

Feng Yan walked to Wei Xingzhen and sat down, whispered, "Let Lord Wei wait for a long time."

"fine."

Wei Xingzhen held the cotton cloth and wiped the sword body back and forth - doing this was to generate warmth in the sword body and remove impurities on the blade face. This was the last step to protect the sword blade.

He was wiping the last time, and Feng Yan leaned over and packed up the things nearby.

She folded the gauze and deer skin and put it on the dirty laundry basket beside her, and said softly, "Is this Lord Wei's sword?"

"Well, I thought that since I was going to enter the mountain, I might as well take it on the road with me."

"This sword doesn't seem to be a common thing, does it have a name?"

"Shen Shang, what the sword-casting master said." Wei Xingzhen put down the cotton cloth and took the long sword in his hand carefully. "What kind of stone was A Yan looking for just now? Why did she search for it for so long?"

Feng Yan smiled, "Oh, it's a gift from my aunt."

Hearing the word "aunt", Wei Xingzhen stopped the movement in his hand with some concern, "...Can I see it?"

"sure."

Feng Yan took off the tip from her sleeve and handed it to Wei Xingzhen.

From the time he saw the size of this treasure bag, Wei Xingzhen had an unknown premonition. He took out the stone from the bag with a very light action, and then looked at his palm with complex eyes.

"What's wrong with Lord Wei? Do you recognize this jade?"

Wei Xingzhen shook his head, quickly put the things back to the treasure bag and returned them to Feng Yan.

"It's quite a beautiful stone," Wei Xingzhen whispered, "Can A Yan put it on the first floor after she comes back?"

Feng Yan looked at Wei Xingzhen unexpectedly and smiled, "...If Lord Wei likes it, it's okay to give it to you after he comes back."

Wei Xingzhen stood up, he put his sword into the sheath, and then stretched out his hand to Feng Yan, "Let's go."

"Um."

...

In Feng's mansion, Li waited a little anxiously until the people spread the word that the carriage of the Wei's mansion was coming here, so she immediately got up and walked towards the gate.

Feng Yuandao didn't react at once, and he followed him after his wife after walking about ten steps away.

Feng Yan had just walked through the courtyard at the door when she saw her father and mother walking towards her. She was stunned for a moment, and then immediately lifted her skirt and walked forward quickly.

This meeting made Li and Feng Yan a little sad.

She and her mother went to the garden next to her to chat, while Wei Xingzhen and Feng Yuandao went to the guesthouse for tea.

Li has been evidently haggard in the naked eye these two days. He can't stand the chanting of scriptures all night when he is middle-aged. Fortunately, she has always been in a tough body. Although she has been so careless all night, there is nothing serious about it except for some headaches and nausea.

Early this morning, the Tian family issued a special edict to Feng's mansion, saying that Wei Xingzhen and Feng Yan and his wife would go to Daizong Mountain to pray for blessings for His Majesty, and it might take half a month to go.

Li was really puzzled - Yan'er was just recovering from a minor illness, so how could she have the reason to go up the mountain at this time?

What's more, the recent incident of the Wild Spirit Xiren has caused such a big ups and downs.

Feng Yan could only comfort him. This time, not only Wei Xingzhen, but also Du Kuangfeng and Du Tianshi walked together.

Only then did Li seem a little relieved.

While talking, a green leaf floated into Feng Yan's cup. Feng Yan took the bamboo stick and then threw it away. After a while, another leaf floated over and fell right at the heart of Feng Yan's cup.

"I was thinking that my mother would be worried about me, so I must come back before leaving." Feng Yan said softly, "This time I went up the mountain, I would like to see my aunt again. Can my mother help me send a letter to her later?"

"Naturally." Li wiped the corners of his eyes, "I also want your grandparents and grandchildren to have a good chat. There are some things that the old lady doesn't tell me, but she won't hide from you... After lunch at home, will you leave?"

Feng Yan smiled, "Okay, I'm a little tired of sitting here. I want to go back to my own yard to rest for a while."

Li nodded and sent Feng Yan back to the house, and immediately turned around to arrange a lunch banquet.

"What's going on?" Feng Yan walked under the locust tree in the yard, "It's rare to see you urge me so urgently..."
