Chapter 957 Begonia Jade Pendant
Baiyunxi took Yaya to rest for a while in the dormitory, and also went to the main hall to burn incense and pray for peace.
By the way, I donated 100 taels of sesame oil money, and the master thanked me and gave back a few peace charms.
After that, he took Yaya for a casual stroll in the temple. She didn't go out very often, and she didn't feel noisy when she saw the temple with people coming and going.
"Yaya, here."
Just as the two stood by the fence and looked into the distance, a call came from behind them.
Yaya turned around and looked at Tang Yuan running towards her in surprise.
"Miss Tang, what a coincidence."
"I came with my grandmother to offer incense." Tang Yuan smiled and held her hand. "During the Chinese New Year, I visit relatives every day. Today I finally got my grandmother to come out and play."
While talking, Mrs. Tang also came over.
Bai Yunxi looked at Mrs. Tang walking towards her, and for some reason, her eyes fell on the jade pendant hanging on her waist, a blooming Begonia flower.
The transparent jade material makes the petals of Begonia flowers clearly visible, with faint textures, as if they have been seen somewhere.
"Mrs. Tang, wish you a healthy new year."
"Bai Shu people have auspicious New Year,"
Feeling Bai Yunxi's gaze, Mrs. Tang lowered her head and glanced at the jade pendant hanging on her waist, then turned to look at the two girls rejoicing because of their chance encounter, feeling helpless.
Her granddaughter never got along with those noble girls, saying that talking with them was too tiring.
She took this girl with her and taught her, and she was usually a bit pampered. But she also fell behind in what she was supposed to teach, and she didn't know where something went wrong, and she actually raised a slow loris.
On the day of the palace banquet, there were many people, so she didn't pay much attention. Now when she looked at the big eyes of the Bai girl, she knew clearly.
The little girl looks sweet, especially her temperament, which is fresh and refined. From this point alone, it can be judged that this girl must have read a lot of poetry and books. Although it is still immature, it still exudes an air of elegance.
In a few years, it should be even better.
Yaya was not frightened when she saw Mrs. Tang looking at her.
"Mrs. Tang is well,"
"He is such a well-behaved and lovely boy. Bai Shuren teaches him well."
"Mrs. Tang, you're welcome. This girl is very naughty, so she should restrain herself outside."
If he and Miss Tang can look at each other, their temperaments are probably not much different.
"We are still children, so it doesn't hurt to be naughty."
Listening to Bai Yunxi's tone, Mrs. Tang's smile became more sincere. She looked at the people coming and going in the temple and suggested,
"I just asked people to prepare the dormitory. Bai Shuren, would you like to have a cup of tea and sit for a while?"
The two children were talking so enthusiastically that they probably would not want to leave for a while.
After hearing Mrs. Tang's invitation, Bai Yunxi glanced at Yaya and said, "If that's the case, I'll excuse you."
Seeing the two girls running to the front hand in hand, Mrs. Tang shook her head and chatted with Bai Yunxi about daily life.
Only then did I learn that the Tang family often came to Putuo Temple to worship Buddha and were regular visitors to the temple. They had a fixed dormitory to live in, which was spacious and warm.
Tang Yuan entered the dormitory and took off the cloak she was wearing, revealing her cyan dress and the white jade pendant swaying around her waist, still in the shape of a crabapple flower.
Seeing the Begonia flower again, Bai Yunxi's eyes flashed, and she finally remembered why she paid so much attention to the Begonia Jade Pendant.
She also has one in her hand, the only difference is that her Begonia jade pendant has an extra white jade circle compared to their jade pendants.
The carving in the middle is this kind of crabapple flower, even the shape of the petals is exactly the same.
As Bai Yunxi kept staring at their jade pendant, Mrs. Tang frowned and did not hide it.
"Our ancestors of the Tang family loved Begonia flowers, and every child in the family has one. Although they look the same, each has its own name, hidden under the blooming petals."
This is also a token of the Tang family. If a member of the clan is in trouble, he or she can go to any property of the Tang family for help with this token.
This kind of token is equivalent to a badge, and every clan has it, so there is nothing strange about it.
After listening to Mrs. Tang's explanation, Baiyunxi came back to her senses and smiled apologetically.
"Please forgive me. I seem to have seen this crabapple flower somewhere. It looks familiar, so I can't help but take a few more looks."
What a coincidence?
The begonia flower jade pendant left by the old juren is very similar to the jade pendant of the Tang family.
Listening to Bai Yunxi's explanation, Mrs. Tang nodded, "That's not surprising. There are so many ornaments made of flowers. It's not surprising to see similar ones."
Their jade pendants and pendants are signed every time they are handed over to a disciple. No matter how many similar ones are out there, they have nothing to do with the Tang family.
After listening to Mrs. Tang's explanation, Bai Yunxi thought about it and felt that it made sense. She turned around and took a closer look at the jade pendant left by the old Juren to see if it was similar to...
As soon as I thought of this, the door of the dormitory was pushed open.
"Grandma, I'm back..."
Halfway through his words, when he saw a stranger in the dormitory, the young man immediately stood up and smiled sheepishly at the old lady.
He took off his cloak and handed it to the boy who followed behind him, bowing.
"I don't know if grandma has guests here, but my grandson is being abrupt."
"You kid, you are sixteen and you are still reckless. If your grandfather sees it, you will have to be punished again. Why don't you meet Bai Shuren quickly?"
Mrs. Tang was helpless. She glared at her grandson and turned to look at Baiyunxi. Only then did she realize that she was staring at the jade pendant on her grandson's waist.
This Bai Shuren is so interesting, why do you always stare at their jade pendants?
Is she really the same?
How can it be?
Even after being scolded by his grandmother, the young man was not angry and bowed deeply to Baiyunxi again.
"Meet Bai Shuren, I hope you are well and happy."
"Quickly, please don't be polite, you are such a handsome boy."
Bai Yunxi retracted her gaze and praised him gently.
If she had the same idea just now, when she saw the jade pendant on the young master of the Tang family, Bai Yunxi was sure that the jade pendant left by the old scholar was exactly the same as the one hanging on the young master's waist.
It turned out that the men and women were separated. The woman directly had a jade pendant in the shape of a crabapple flower. The man had a crabapple flower carved in the middle of the round jade pendant, with tassels below.
It turned out that the old scholar's life experience was really not simple.
The Tang family in Kyoto, the imperial doctor, was a typical scholarly family, and passed down poetry and books.
No wonder the old scholar was so good at reading, it turned out that he had blood.
When Bai Yunxi thought that she and the Tang family might be a family, she felt that the world was playing tricks on people. If Xiaowu hadn't rushed all the way to Kyoto, they would never know the old scholar's life experience.
Now that he was in front of her, Bai Yunxi sighed and calmed down.
Originally, she had not thought about revealing the old scholar's life story. If it was convenient, she would not refuse.
Of course, a person has been away from home for decades, and things have changed a lot. Whether the other person is willing to recognize him is still a question.
Thinking of this, Bai Yunxi smiled softly,
"I'm really sorry, when I see familiar things, I always can't help but take a few more glances. To be honest, I also have a jade pendant that is exactly the same as the young master's."
