294 Name

Yue Jiaojiao’s heart was also filled with doubt.

The two of them went to find the manager without any delay.

“This… I can’t tell how old it is.” The manager took the pendant in his hand and turned it over and over to check it. He touched it and checked different angles. “It should be a few years old. This piece of jade was taken care of very well. It must have been worn by someone, or held in the hand all day.”

“The touch of a nourished jade is different from that of a raw jade. I roughly feel it.”

“Have you noticed anything special about this pendant?”

“Special?” The innkeeper looked at it again in disbelief. “There’s nothing special about it.”

“Have you ever heard of a jade master who was able to engrave words on pendants? It’s so fine that the words that pass through the pendant only float through the sun.”

“You must be joking.” The manager shook his head and returned the pendant to her. “This kind of request is impossible to fulfill. Jade is very brittle. When ordinary people make a mark on it, they have to be exceptionally careful not to break it. It’s impossible.”

The innkeeper really did not know anything, so Yue Jiaojiao and Zhao Zhan thanked him and left the shop. The two of them returned home, but their minds were still filled with questions about Zhao Zhan’s father’s background.

He entered the bedroom.

The two of them tacitly took out the letters that Zhao Kuazi had given them, and then carefully read each letter again. Right then, the door knocked.

Zhao Zhan put down the letter and quickly ran to open the door.

“Lizheng?”

“This is your title deed,” Yang Lizheng said as he handed the thing in his hand to Zhao Zhan. “Two in total.”

“Thank you, for the troubles.”

“There is no need to thank me.”

“Zhao Zhan, come here. Let’s talk.” Yang Lizhengwas looking for a place to squat at the door. “Your business is getting bigger and bigger. I’d like to ask if you have any thoughts about the future of our village.”

“I’ll definitely pick our village first for the workshop recruitment.” Zhao Zhan walked over and squatted next to Yang Lizheng. “Ater this season’s wheat harvest, everyone will rush to plant a season of chili and soybeans. This way, it won’t delay the planting of winter wheat, and it can also add income to the families here.”

Yang Lizheng was knocking on his pipe on the steps. When he heard Zhao Zhan’s words, he turned his head abruptly. “Can we really make it in time?”

The soybeans and chili that he had planted with Zhao Zhan before the new year managed to help many families gain some income.

Throughout the year, there was no one in the family who didn’t praise him for his wisdom.

“There’s still time,” Zhao Zhan told Yang Lizheng. County Magistrate Zheng knows about this as well. Before the busy season begins, there should be a message to encourage two seasons of farming.”

Yang Lizheng was extremely excited. “If that’s the case, you would have to leave some good seeds for our village.”

“Do you know why our village’s harvest of winter wheat is better than other villages? Speaking of which, I still have to thank your father’s friend. When you were just born, when your father brought him back, he saw you and casually gave everyone a few pointers.

“We are all scholars. Some people become bookworms, but Sir Zhang was different. He had great wisdom!”

“Lizheng,” Zhao Zhan said carefully, “About Zhang… What’s his full name?”

“About that…” Yang Lizheng stroked his beard. “Maybe it was Zhang Lingshen! I think… I can’t remember it clearly.”
