Chapter 819: Chapter 819 Are the folks at home not worried?_1

When Jiang Zuo and Jiang Li saw the shop assistant driving a carriage with the thousand-needles jade, which had been ignored for so many years, atop it, they were utterly shocked.

"Has our temple master gone mad? What’s the use of buying such a piece of thousand-needles jade, to make our yard look pretty?" Jiang Zuo felt that if the temple master wasn’t mad, he was close to madness.

What’s the use of buying this thing? No matter where it’s placed, it’s a joke. Could it possibly be of any use? Doesn’t it blatantly remind others that our temple master has squandered money on a useless piece of jade?

"Jiang Li, what on earth is wrong with our temple master?"

"If you ask me, whom shall I ask?"

Jiang Li replied with an annoyed glare at Jiang Zuo.

Anyway, he knew that their temple master never did unreasonable things; if their temple master took a fancy to this piece of thousand-needles jade, it must have its uses.

"Sigh."

Jiang Zuo let out a heavy sigh.

"Come, move it inside," he said.

The carriage had already been brought—what more could be done? They could only move it into the prince’s mansion!

"Honored guards, Prince Mo has instructed that this jade be placed at the entrance; there’s no need to move it inside," just as Jiang Zuo was summoning the gatekeeping guards to move it, he heard the shop assistant delivering the thousand-needles jade speak up.

Jiang Zuo: "..."

Could he not move the thing inside, to spare their temple master some embarrassment? To actually put it outside—what on earth was their temple master thinking!

"I... I don’t know what to say. Jiang Li, you decide," he said.

Jiang Li chuckled as he shook his head at the retreating figure of Jiang Zuo. Whatever the temple master wanted to do, as subordinates of the temple master, they naturally could not have any objections. Unconditional obedience was their duty.

"Just put it there," he said.

He pointed at a corner and directed those delivering the thousand-needles jade.

"Alright, sure," the shop assistant complied, then directed a few men to move the thousand-needles jade to where Jiang Li had pointed.

"What’s going on here?"

Zhe Jue came out of the mansion, ready to take care of some business when he saw a few men moving the thousand-needles jade into a corner and asked Jiang Li, who was aside.

"The temple master, for some reason, bought a piece of thousand-needles jade and won’t allow it inside the mansion," Jiang Li replied.

Honestly, he didn’t know the use of this thousand-needles jade either. Could it be used as food? Wasn’t their temple master worried about breaking his own teeth!

"Oh, perhaps the master’s wife liked it," Zhe Jue casually responded after hearing that, mumbling a comment.

How could their temple master possibly buy something as peculiar as thousand-needles jade? The only possibility was that the master’s wife fancied this piece of thousand-needles jade, so the temple master bought it.

"What did you say?"

Upon hearing his murmur, Jiang Li first paused, but then quickly grasped the implication.

"Zhe Jue, did you just say... the master’s wife?"

Wasn’t the master’s wife in Ya Village? How could she have come here? Could it be that no sooner had the temple master left that the master’s wife followed suit?

But if the master’s wife came out like that, wouldn’t her family be worried?

"Don’t be surprised, that female physician from the National Teacher’s residence is the master’s wife," Zhe Jue told Jiang Li.

"Don’t tell anyone about this, especially Jiang Zuo."

He added another reminder to Jiang Li, thinking back how the master’s wife was said to have come with someone—it must be Commandery Princess Ziyou.

If Jiang Zuo knew that the Commandery Princess Ziyou was also in Shaohua City, who knew what trouble he might stir up.
