Incense sticks 1323

uld I find a girl as good as my little Qiao! She's beautiful, has a great figure, is kind, cooks well, isn't vain, doesn't party, and never gossips! What's wrong with Qiao She has everything a man wan...To say that Song Wei's pure yang blood is truly fearless of heaven and earth.

I stood at the doorway, pinching a spell before daring to step inside. She had already rushed in and helped the fallen old lady up.

There are two mosquito net-covered wooden beds in the room, one for grandpa and one for grandma. The elderlies are both unwell; one is recovering from a fall and the other is bedridden due to illness.

"What are you doing getting out of bed yourself! Just shout if you need anything!" Song Wei was very fierce, she directly lifted the frail old woman up.

The old woman lightly placed her hand on Song Wei's shoulder, panting and saying: "Oh, little Wei... I just wanted to move to the bedside to sit for a while, but I don't know what I tripped over. It tripped me up, oh... My daughter"

"You were probably too busy in the kitchen with all those pots and pans to hear, let me help you sit down." Song Wei said with a frown.

Song Wei truly has a sharp tongue but a kind heart. Although she looks unhappy, her actions are very careful.

Just now there was a subtle, barely perceptible chill in the room. Now, because of Song Wei's bustling energy, it has dissipated. I stood by the door, carefully examining the furnishings inside.

It was just two beds, an old-fashioned wardrobe, with black and white old photos and enamel cups on top.

A bedside commode stood by the bed, with a urinal and sputum cup underneath.

The old woman muttered, "It's really a plague of ailments in old age. Fortunately, you're here today, or I wouldn't have been able to climb up... Alas, useless, useless..."

Song Wei comforted her for a few words, and the old lady said: "You guys get married quickly. I'll give you all the savings I have hidden away. As long as I live to see my great-grandchildren, I'll be satisfied..."

"Don't talk nonsense. You're saying you lived to be 112, right" Song Wei interrupted impatiently.

"Seriously, you two, if you get married soon, I'll give you this old jade bangle! It's a family heirloom over a hundred years old!" The old woman said as she reached to take the jade bangle off her wrist.

My gaze fell on the old woman's wrist. I don't know if it was because the indoor lighting wasn't very good, but I felt that jade was a bit dim.

"What is this heirloom, over a hundred years old Can I have a look" I asked.

"Let me introduce you to my good friend. Her family practices Taoism, owns an antique shop, and even runs an auction house. She knows her stuff! I'll have her take a look and see what she thinks. It might just be a valuable treasure. You could keep it for yourself!"

"Ah..." The old woman looked at me and asked, "Will you charge me..."

My goodness… This old person is truly something else. They've come from such hardship, it shows in how carefully they budget everything.

"Of course it's free! I already said she's my friend!" Song Wei helplessly tucked the blanket corner for the old woman.

The old woman extended her hand, and I stood by the bed, taking her hand and examining it carefully.

I don't know much about jade either. It was just at my older brother's wedding when Grandpa gave him some priceless jade material. Back then, my brother told me a bit about jade.

The old woman's hand held this object that seemed to have a good gloss and moisture, but there was always an inexplicable sense of gloom about it.

"Your bracelet looks quite old, the luster and texture are excellent. This is something you wouldn't easily find even with money." I tried to get some information out of him.

The old woman was a bit proud. She said this jade bracelet was her mother's dowry, and that her mother was the daughter of a landlord family back in the old days. This jade bracelet was even a gift from an elder warlord.

The old man's stories were long and rambling, he talked about whatever came to mind. I tried to steer the conversation towards the bracelets, but who knew I would hear something terrifying—

"When my mother passed away, this bracelet was like it was born on my hand. I couldn't take it off no matter what. According to my father, three years later he even went to open her coffin again just to get this bracelet for me."

Song Wei immediately patted her own shoulders upon hearing this.

I'm speechless too, things that are put into a coffin belong to funerary goods!

Although it's your own family, taking it out like this and wearing it yourself is not appropriate.

"When did you start wearing this bracelet" I asked.

“I’ve never worn it before because I wasn’t sick. And besides, I was a bit overweight, and my hands were rough and calloused from work. So I just left it there… A couple of years ago, that poor child snuck it on and said she wanted me to keep it for her dowry. Who knew… Alas, it wasn’t meant to be…”

Song Wei flashed me a menacing grin, meaning this old lady just couldn't stop talking.

So I quickly excused myself and slipped into the yard, Song Wei followed me out.

"The unlucky child the old woman was talking about is Lao Shi's niece, a girl in her teens," Song Wei whispered. "She drowned two years ago when she went playing with classmates."

"The old woman said she had worn this bracelet before"

"Probably, I don't know what's going on in his family." Song Wei shrugged and asked, "What do you think about this bracelet Is there something wrong with it"

Of course, jade cannot be viewed as an ordinary ornament. Our ancestors valued jade more than all gold and jewels.

Even today, gold is still more valuable than jade. Here, "priceless" means there's no market standard to measure its worth.

Gold has a unified standard of purity and price, while jade is difficult to find two pieces that are exactly the same.

So even a piece of jade depends on one's fate. It's about eye-catching luck, opportunity, and even financial luck.

It's not just expensive jade that is precious. An ordinary piece of jade, if carried with you for many years, can also become your treasure.

My family is a yin merchant, in our view, anything that has aged should be treated with care.

While jade is the essence of stone, this "becoming refined" takes an incredibly long time.

Jade, when refined, possesses spirit. It is said that jade can ward off misfortune, but it should not be worn indiscriminately.

First of all, this jade bangle belongs to someone else. Wearing someone else's jade means the jade may not accept you, it's as if you are taking on their misfortune.

Moreover, this jade was unearthed from a coffin and has never been treated. It's been kept in a box for so long, which is not good. Luckily it belonged to our ancestors. If we had moved it, who knows what vengeful spirits might have been disturbed At best, our home would be filled with unsettling occurrences, at worst, we could be sealed inside and cut off from the outside world.

Therefore, using jade ornaments as heirlooms is not advisable, unless they are never worn.

Song Wei opened her mouth in stunned silence: "Fortunately, I wasn't greedy for her heirloom. Hearing you say that, I get goosebumps...Could it be that the little niece secretly wore this jade pendant and ended up warding off disaster for the old lady"

"Besides, the old woman also tripped just now. She said she felt something hooked on her and tripped her... Oh my god! The more I think about it, the scarier it gets!" Song Wei rubbed her arms, but couldn't help but show a curious expression.

"You're a pure yang woman, nothing to be afraid of. As long as you don't go looking for ghosts, you'll be fine. You can't even see them if you want to... Which blind ghost would dare possess you They'd be exhausted just trying to get onto you..."

"Pff... Xia Qiao, you've become quite humorous!"

I smiled and whispered, "Just now I really felt a trace of gloom in the room. What if we find an excuse to stay late and see what happens after dark"

"What excuses are you making Just eat dinner a bit later." Song Wei said with a mischievous smile, "I'm just afraid your husband won't agree. If you come home late, he'll probably be so busy 'doing it' that you'll walk like a crab..."

"……"n the sky just now was only for a moment, and the vortex-like clouds are now scattered like fish scales.The female cosplayer burst in, her eyes blazing red, and shouted, "Who's in here!"I huddled besi...
