After Cao Youyou drank a few cups of tea, Aunt Jiu asked people to bring out several plates of dim sum.
"I made these new snacks."
Aunt Jiu looked at Cao Youyou with a smile and said, "I know you like sweet dim sum, so these dim sum are not particularly greasy, and they are suitable for eating with tea." ” Cao Youyou looked at the plates of dim sum, and they looked very exquisite.
She took two pieces and tasted them, and then praised Aunt Jiu's dim sum for getting better and better.
Aunt Nine seemed to be particularly fond of her own new dim sum, and she ate several pieces of each plate of dim sum, and then drank a lot of tea.
This is a little different from Aunt Jiu, who usually eats dim sum and tastes tea lightly.
"Auntie, didn't you eat much at noon today?"
Cao Youyou asked with a smile: "Or today's dim sum is particularly appetizing to you, and you have eaten a lot." ” "I don't want to eat much at noon, but I'm a little hungry by this time."
Aunt Jiu frowned and said, "I wanted to eat two pieces of dim sum and press it, but I turned out to be a little greedy." ” After speaking, Aunt Jiu stood up, she looked at Cao Youyou and said, "Let's get up and take a walk, it's not appropriate to sit for a long time if you eat too much." ” Aunt Nine took Cao Youyou out of her small courtyard, she said that she wanted to go to the back garden to see, now the spring is just right, suitable for flower viewing.
Prime Minister Cao likes flowers, and now he pays attention to his reputation, and he doesn't dare to buy antiques at will, so he can only buy some precious flowers and put them in the garden to satisfy himself.
Aunt Nine was talking to Cao Youyou about the flowers that Cao Xiangxin bought, and at the same time talking about the silver for buying flowers, the more she talked, the more heartbroken she became, which made Cao Youyou laugh.
"It's so nice that this flower is blooming."
Aunt Jiu looked at the flowers with a smile, and said to Cao Youyou: "It's just that the sun is still a little hot this day, maybe it's been too long, and I'm sweating." ” After Aunt Nine finished speaking, she reached out to her waist to get the handkerchief.
Then, Cao Youyou saw her face change.
"What's the matter" Cao Youyou said to Aunt Jiu: "But I didn't bring the handkerchief, I have it here, and I haven't used the new one yet." ” Aunt Nine shook her head and continued to grope around her waist, and after groping, Aunt Jiu's face turned a little pale.
"My jade pendant is gone."
Aunt Jiu said to Cao Youyou: "Maybe it's on the road, the tassel is already a little old, and I have always wanted to replace it with a new one." ” "I didn't pay much attention."
Cao Youyou said to Aunt Jiu: "It's just a piece of jade pendant, don't be in such a hurry." ” "This jade pendant is different from others."
Aunt Nine lowered her eyes and said, "I can't lose it, this is what my mother left me." ” Aunt Nine said so, and Cao Youyou could only accompany her to find it.
Cao Youyou and Aunt Nine looked for a while in the garden, and Aunt Nine looked up and said to Cao Youyou, "It is also possible that you have fallen on the road." ” Cao Youyou wanted to go back with Aunt Jiu, but Aunt Jiu said: "I'm looking for it on the way back, you can help me find it in the garden, okay?"
Cao Youyou couldn't refuse, and after Aunt Nine left in a hurry, Cao Youyou carefully recalled the places where they stayed in the garden, and then looked for them seriously.
But she hadn't been looking for long when she heard someone call her eldest cousin.
Cao Youyou looked back and saw Chen Shuo standing behind her, and then he bowed to her.
After Cao Youyou returned the salute, she didn't plan to ignore Chen Shuo anymore, she was just about to bow her head and continue to search, when she heard Chen Shuo ask, "Is my cousin looking for something?"
"Hmm."
Cao Youyou nodded, his voice as cold as ever.
"What you are looking for, is it a jade pendant" Chen Shuo asked tentatively, his voice sounding a little cautious.
"Well, yes."
Cao Youyou raised her head and looked at Chen Shuo now, she said, "Did you find it?"
Chen Shuo looked at Cao Youyou with a difficult face.
"If you don't find it, forget it, don't bother me looking for something."
After Cao Youyou finished speaking, he lowered his head and continued to look for the jade pendant.
"Is this it?"
Chen Shuo finished speaking, and carefully took out the things from the purse on his waist.
Cao Youyou looked at the broken tassel, then at the jade pendant that was broken in half, and frowned: "The jade pendant is broken."
"This jade pendant was good when I picked it up."
Chen Shuo looked at Cao Youyou with a guilty face, and said, "It's just that I didn't take it well later, and the jade pendant accidentally fell on the stone and fell in half." ” "It's my fault."
Speaking of this, Chen Shuo looked directly into Cao Youyou's eyes and said, "I will buy a better jade pendant and return it to my cousin, I hope my cousin can forgive me." ” "It's not that I don't forgive you."
Cao Youyou said: "This jade pendant belongs to Aunt Jiu, you should ask for her forgiveness." ” Chen Shuo's brows furrowed, and then he withdrew his hand, held the jade pendant that was broken in half and said, "Then I will tell Aunt Nine that I will pay a new one for her." ” "You really can't afford to pay for this jade pendant."
Cao Youyou looked at the silk spike that Chen Shuo was not holding in his hand, and said: "This is left to her by her mother, she takes it very seriously, when you return the jade pendant to her, you'd better think about it." ” Chen Shuo looked at Cao Youyou in surprise, and after a long time, he said to Cao Youyou: "I know that there is a master who can restore the broken jade pendant to its original state, but it will take a while for him to repair the jade pendant. ” "Aunt Nine must be very anxious when she loses such an important jade pendant."
Chen Shuo looked at Cao Youyou and pleaded: "Can the eldest cousin think of a way to make Aunt Nine wait for two days, and don't let her know the news of the broken jade pendant." ” Cao Youyou didn't have time to speak, so he heard Chen Shuo say anxiously: "Don't misunderstand, eldest cousin, I don't want to hide the fact that the jade pendant was broken by me, I just want to wait for the jade pendant to be repaired before admitting it to Aunt Jiu, so that she won't be too sad." ” "Are you sure that the jade pendant can be repaired as before" Cao Youyou frowned and looked at Chen Shuo and said, "If that's the case, I can still help you hide it for two days." ” "Then thank you cousin."
After finishing speaking, Chen Shuo bowed his hand to Cao Youyou and left in a hurry with the jade pendant.
Cao Youyou looked at Chen Shuo's departing figure and sneered.
Two days later, Chen Shuo asked the little maid to bring a message to Cao Youyou, saying that he had something to discuss with her.
Cao Youyou thought about it, and went to the time and place agreed by Chen Shuo.

When Cao Youyou arrived at the small pavilion, he saw Chen Shuo standing there with a guilty face.
He was holding a brocade box in his hand, and in the brocade box was still the ring-shaped jade pendant that was broken in half.
"Cousin, I was wrong."
Chen Shuo said to Cao Youyou in frustration: "It's my mistake, the jade pendant can be repaired, but it can only be repaired with gold, I'm not sure if Aunt Jiu can accept such a jade." ” Speaking of this, Chen Shuo raised his head and looked at Cao Youyou, and pleaded: "Can you help me make an appointment with Aunt Jiu, there are many people in the house, this is a big deal, it is inconvenient to talk about it in detail in the house, and I have a troubled conscience in the past." ” "It's not that hard."
Cao Youyou sighed and said, "It's just like this, I'm afraid Aunt Nine is going to be sad." ” "Can my cousin come with me then?"
Chen Shuo looked at Cao Youyou with a pleading expression and said, "With you, it's easier for me to speak."
If you say a few more good words to Aunt Jiu, maybe she will forgive me. ”:
