Unlike the warehouse-type secret room, it is brightly lit and fragrant, and there is a pool of lake water on the right, which is full of lotus flowers, and in the center of the lake, there is a rockery, which looks like a tomb.

On the left was a piece of land overgrown with the same plant, with many fine hairy strands on the stems and leaves, and small white flowers.

There is a path made of many pebbles in the middle, and Guan Kaihui stands at the end of this path: "These plants are called Pizhi, and the lotus on the right, these two flowers are her favorite plants when she was alive." ”

He Xiu extracted two words from two plants: Zhihe.

"Uncle Guan, does He'er have anything to do with her? What the hell is going on?Why did the little princess of the previous dynasty appear here?" He Xiu threw out three question marks in a row, twisting his eyes to look around for the immortal body of the little princess of the previous dynasty.

Guan Kaihui didn't answer, but looked straight up, tears welled up in his eyes, He Xiu raised the candle to the highest and looked at it, a lotus leaf the size of a bed was suspended in the air, and the white light above the lotus leaf was particularly dazzling: "Uncle Guan, how does this lotus leaf float in the air? Could it be that there is her immortal body stored on it?"

"Xiu'er, step on the first pebble on the left under your feet. ”

He Xiu, who has always had an idea in his heart, walked here like a three-year-old child, full of all the fantasies about the world, behind the fantasies is that he knows nothing, he did not ask for a reason, but as he said, he gently stepped on the first pebble on the left under his feet.

What happened next made him keep his eyes open, and he still couldn't believe that the legendary thing could happen to his eyes.

I saw that these pebbles seemed to be sucked out by a magical power, and they all gathered together in an instant, flying to the bottom of the lotus leaf, and in an instant, these pebbles seemed to be commanded by someone to form a step by step, there were sixty steps, and the bottom of the lotus leaf was connected to the ground.

He Xiu saw that these cobblestone steps did not have any fulcrum to support, and just as he was about to ask how it was established, Guan Kaihui walked up the first step.

"Uncle Guan, be careful!"

"Don't worry, I've walked these steps for more than ten years, so you can come up and take a look. ”

He Xiu tentatively stepped on the first step with one foot, and found that these steps built up out of thin air were as strong as stepping on the ground.

Guan Kaihui had already reached the top at this time, and heard him sobbing slightly: "Sister Yan, I came to see you, the little emperor is as you wish, he has successfully ascended the throne, our daughters have also grown up, Nanyang Kingdom has avoided another war, and you have a spirit underground to rest in peace." ”

The dazzling white light became more dazzling with He Xiu's ascent of steps, until he saw the source of this white light, and the body of a woman who had fallen into the city, lying quietly on this lotus leaf.

She was dressed in green, her arms were folded on top of her lower abdomen, and she held a white flower in both hands, which was the source of these white rays, and these white rays seemed to shine her body into a transparent state.

Her green silk is not tied, and her face is delicate and elegant, and she is kind and kind, without a little powder.

"Uncle Guan, why did the immortal body of the little princess of the previous dynasty appear here? And looking at her appearance, it looks like she has just passed away, how can this be?"

"That was twenty years ago, at that time the old man followed my father to Kyoto, to deal with some things, because of various reasons offended a high-ranking official who was in the limelight at the time, and was in prison, my father in order to protect my integrity, the matter was carried down alone, and on the same day beheaded to show the public, the family business plummeted, I was very sad, disheartened, on the way back wanted to hang himself and kill himself as a result of his life, but at this time, a beautiful woman rescued me, and patiently enlightened me, introduced me to one, another high-ranking official in the court at that time, after getting his help, our Guan family's business has revived, and it took just two years to become the largest household in Qiman Town. ”

"When I returned to Kyoto to inquire about her whereabouts, I learned from the mouth of the high-ranking official that she was the little princess of the dynasty, and then because of the old husband, she automatically gave up the noble princess title, married me, and had a first son in the first year, and a daughter in the second year, in order to repay the grace of this high-ranking official, I privately discussed with a cousin in his family and a son in the family, hey! Now that I think about it, I regret it!"

When Guan Kaihui said this, He Xiu's heart was like a mirror: "Uncle Guan, the high-ranking official you said to help you is the current head of the civil official Guo Fengli, his cousin is the current Qiman Town family, Guo Fengxiao, and his son is naturally Guo Zhenxing." ”

This Lord Guo had the world in his heart at that time, loved the people like a son, and had a high reputation in the court, and won the respect of this little princess, she recommended this person to his father, and was reused, as the power in his hands became greater and greater, what he hid in his heart slowly emerged. ”

He Xiu really didn't expect that Guan Kaihui would marry the princess of the emperor's family in his hands, and he was even more impressed by him for a while, but what he wanted to know more was why this little princess's immortal body hadn't rotted after so many years, and what was Guan Zhihe's heart?

Guan Kaihui began to answer for him one by one: "The Pizhi flower in her hand is carved from the ice soul of ten thousand years, it is a piece of cold ice that I got when my Nanyang Gaozu created the country, it is said that it is a master, extracted from a colorful cloud, its effect can keep the human body immortal, increase yang longevity, detoxify, exorcise evil and subjugate demons, it is the most powerful magic weapon in the world, this little princess is the most beloved daughter of Gaozu during his lifetime, I heard that after she ascended to heaven, she specially sent someone to carve this magic weapon into a flower to accompany her immortal body. ”

"As for He'er's thoughts, it is also related to this piece of ice soul, she hopes that someone can further refine this piece of ice soul and bring her mother back from the dead, you understand?"

"Xiu'er understands that Uncle Guan wants me to do this, but He'er regrets it. ”

He Xiu finally understood the ins and outs of the whole thing, all this came too fast, so that he didn't know what kind of mood to use, he was just a little mystery, how could he refine the magic weapon? But for the sake of his lover, he planned to do his best to fulfill her dream.

I had seen the colorful cloud with my own eyes, and I thought it was very strange at the time, as well as the skeleton of an adult, and the buzzing sound that had never been seen in the bell, but in the jar of water, there was no way to get in, and if you want to unlock the refining method of the ice soul, you must find its birthplace.

I wanted to tell Guan Kaihui that he had seen the colorful cloud with his own eyes, but then after thinking about it, Qiao Shenming stood outside the door, afraid that this matter would be known by others, so he had to hide this matter in his heart.

He Xiu didn't believe Qiao Shenming with this idea, but Anu was that thing, in his heart it was a hurdle that he couldn't get over, Anu had already lost his life for the bell, and now he didn't want anyone to lose his precious life because of something that no one had ever seen.

Since Guan Kaihui has such great hopes for himself, and Guan Zhihe now has a deep hatred for himself, if this matter can be done, then Guan Zhihe will definitely return to his arms regardless of his previous suspicions, and Guo Zhenxing will have no handle to threaten himself, if he wants to fight a decisive battle in the future, he can give it a go.

After thinking about this, I suddenly thought of something more important: "Uncle Guan, how did my aunt pass away?"

"Well, it's a long story, if you have time, you can ask He'er, I think she's more interested in telling you this. ”

He Xiu knew that these were some of his preferences, and the reason why he didn't want to say it was because he didn't want to expose the scars of the year again.

People are often like this, they can be happy to say happy things to anyone, anytime, anywhere, and on any occasion, and sad things will always choose to hide in the deepest part of their hearts, not to let others touch the slightest.

"Sister Yan, this young man is our daughter's sweetheart, I brought him to see you, I think you must be as satisfied as me, right?" Guan Kaihui pointed at He Xiu with tears in his eyes, and said with a smile.

"Auntie, please rest assured, I will use my life to protect your daughter's well-being, and Uncle You, I will also use my life to defend the rest of his life!" He Xiu knelt on the ground, his eyes were full of tenacity, and after speaking, he kowtowed three times to her widow.

"Their mother and son like to be lively the most, if you are okay in the future, you can often come to see her and talk to her. ”

After Guan Kaihui finished speaking, he reluctantly walked down the steps, He Xiu stood up, and mourned for her body for a while, and when he left, he saw a thick stack of letterheads next to her pillow, he guessed that this must be what Guan Zhihe wanted to say to her every time he came.

The two of them walked down the steps with a heavy heart, He Xiu found the top of the cobblestone path, and stepped on a cobblestone that had fallen into it again, and the cobblestone steps that had been built out of thin air slowly fell down to the place where they had just risen, and each pebble was tightly fitted and embedded into the ground.

"Sir, please mourn. ”

Qiao Shenming had already guessed a rough idea of this matter when Guan Kaihui said those four words, in his impression, Huangpu Lingyan was a gentle, virtuous and considerate woman, who treated everyone around her with courtesy, and never embarrassed anyone, and now he finally knows her true identity.

When she was buried, he witnessed with his own eyes what kind of heartache Guan Kaihui and all the people in the Guan Mansion were, as if the relatives around him had left, and the feelings that emanated from the bottom of his heart could not deceive people.

"Brother Qiao, what are you thinking?"

"Oh, I'm mourning for Madame. ”

Guan Kaihui walked out alone holding a candle, and the two of them put the stone bricks back in their original positions, bowed deeply three times towards it, and went back the way they came.

This dull mood was deeply depressed, and after the two said goodbye to Guan Kaihui, they came to the visitor hall.

"Brother Qiao, don't you have any impression of this matter at all?"

"I have the impression that on the day of Madame's funeral, the people of the entire Qiman Town cried into tears, because they received a lot of help from Madame on weekdays, and all the people up and down the Guan Mansion were also grieving, and that's all I remember. Qiao Shenming didn't hide it in the slightest, and said everything he thought of one by one.

"Okay, Brother Qiao, let's talk about some happy things, and tell me how far our weapons have been built. He Xiu sorted out his dull mood and began to care about the current matter.

"Here's the thing, the government needs 3,000 weapons, and the Chang family can't build them for a while, so they entrust us to share 1,000 weapons, the price is very considerable, and the most important thing is that we can also get in touch with the government, which will be of great help to our future business. ”

"There won't be fraud in this, right? With the current strength of the Chang family, it is not a difficult thing to build these three thousand weapons, how sure are you, Brother Qiao?" He Xiu was always not very at ease with this Chang family, and expressed the doubts in his heart.

"Brother He, please rest assured, I have already sent someone to inquire about it, the reason why they are not able to deliver these three thousand weapons to the government on time is because the blacksmiths they recruited are not too mature, and Qiman Town has only the largest scale of our two blacksmiths, it is most reasonable for him to come to us, I am 100% sure of this matter. ”

Qiao Shenming's words had already come to this point, and He Xiu couldn't help but believe it: "Great, if it can really be like what Brother Qiao said, it will be too helpful to the reputation of the armory shop, but I have another idea in my heart." ”

"Brother He, speak up quickly!"

"Since this matter is going to be done, it must be done to the point and be a hit, isn't it as long as we share this thousand weapons, and we will give him another thousand, which will be regarded as a gift of cooperation, so that the people of Qiman Town can take a good look at how our Guan family treats their partners. ”

The purpose of He Xiu's saying this was that he was afraid that those merchants who were thieves during the day and opened their doors to do business at night would secretly unite, which would be detrimental to the Guan family.

Even if they want to plot, they must start with the people, because the people are the food and clothing parents of all the shops, and only if they keep spending can they bring benefits to these merchants.

And the purpose of doing this is to use the reputation in the hearts of the people to restrain them, so that the balance is in a stable state.
