Chapter 20: Ye's Life Story

The two of them flipped through it very quickly, and after a while, the books on the four rows of bookshelves were all flipped, and the Xinhua dictionary was naturally not found, Jiang Yuchen silently looked for the place Gu Mingzhen had looked for, but naturally he still didn't find it.

Gu Mingzhen casually wiped twice on the chair and sat down, seeing that Jiang Yuchen's face was getting heavier and heavier, and he didn't want to look for it again, and finally couldn't help but speak: "Young Master Jiang, don't look for it!" My father is also a scholar, he has more people in this study than me, I see that there are a few other books missing, I think my father took them." ”

Jiang Yuchen's face was a little frustrated, and he walked to the window silently, and sat down without wiping the chair.

Gu Mingzhen saw him with a dead mother's expression and asked, "Who is your handkerchief?" I think you cherish it very much. ”

Jiang Yuchen was silent for a long time before he said silently: "It's my mother." ”

Obviously, looking at his appearance, he knew that this mother would probably have died a long time ago, which would be embarrassing, Gu Mingzhen touched her nose uncomfortably: "I'm sorry." ”

"It's okay, my mother likes to write essays very much, but she calls it a diary, from the beginning of literacy to write until death or typos, the handkerchief I showed you yesterday, I originally thought it was just a mark, but it wasn't until last year that I went back to the old house in Chungu County, and I found that the essays of the year of my mother's death were almost all this kind of text. ”

Jiang Yuchen's words were full of various emotions, and Gu Mingzhen felt a little clear about what this time-traveling senior thought.

"Young Master Jiang, this Xinhua dictionary probably can't be found, if no one teaches it, I can't understand the things on it at all, even if my father takes it, I don't think I know where to lose it now." ”

Jiang Yuchen nodded, he had thought about this result countless times in his heart: "There is a reluctant request ...... below."

Gu Mingzhen interrupted: "If you want me to teach you, then it may not work, this kind of writing is difficult to learn, and I don't have that much time, if Young Master Jiang is at ease, he will ask someone to send that diary, and I will help you translate it when I am usually fine." ”

Jiang Yuchen smiled, and the gloom on his face was swept away: "It's me who is abrupt, my mother remembers all the little things that happen every day, but there is no secret, I will ask someone to send it to you tomorrow." ”

Gu Mingzhen clapped her hands and stood up and walked out, Jiang Yuchen also walked out with him, walked out of the study, Gu Mingzhen took the door and locked it again, and didn't take the back basket on the side, and sent Jiang Yuchen out of the hospital.

The entourage waiting next to the carriage was still the same as the original two of them, leaning motionless on the wheel, and when Jiang Yuchen got into the car and sat firmly, he also sat on the wheel and prepared to leave, Gu Mingzhen turned around and was about to go back to the courtyard, and as soon as he turned around, he heard Jiang Yuchen shouting behind him: "Gu Mingzhen." ”

As soon as Gu Mingzhen turned around, she saw Jiang Yuchen open the curtain hanging on the car window: "Thank you today, if he needs help in the future, he will ask someone to bring a letter to the Jiang house in the county, and let Jiang Hui deliver something tomorrow." ”

Gu Mingzhen waved his hand at him, lowered the curtains, and asked Jiang Hui's entourage to whip it on the horse's back, and the carriage went out.

Gu Mingzhen sighed, and finally sent this great god away, but thinking about Jiang Yuchen's uncertain personality carefully, it is actually very normal, after all, he is a person who has been begging for a living in the hands of his stepmother since he was a child, although he came out on his own at a very young age, but the shadow of his childhood is not so easy to forget.

Gu Mingzhen shook her head, threw all these messy thoughts out of her mind, turned around and plugged in the courtyard gate, no matter how you thought about it, the key she found in the study before didn't feel like a plop key.

Ye Xiucai spent so much effort to find someone to make such a book shell, he must have left something down, maybe he had already seen Gu Sui when he was alive, so he left another silver and didn't want the old Gu family to know?

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that this was possible.

The study had already looked at it carefully when he was pretending to be looking for a book just now, there was no hidden compartment, and the thickness of the wall was normal and there was no mezzanine, so the things that could use this key must be placed elsewhere, and the front yard had always been a place for teaching, and there were many people, so it was impossible for Ye Xiucai to put things there.

So things must still be in the backyard.

This whole house is a typical one-positive two-compartment type, different from the courtyard of the old Gu family, the main house of the Ye family house is also built on both sides of the ear room, plus the east and west wings, there are five rooms that can live in people, the east wing is where the Ye family lived before getting married, and then the original owner lived with the Ye family and his wife for a few years and also slept in the east wing, this room is different from other rooms is that the window is a bright glass window.

Gu Mingzhen looked at the glass and felt emotional, how rich Ye Xiucai was back then, since it was the place where the original owner lived, then he started to find the most suitable room from this room.

When Ye Shi was not married, she was a very lively girl, the room was mostly soft yellow and light pink, and there were a lot of small things in the house, but they were all neatly arranged, it was clear where to hide things and where not to hide things at a glance, Gu Mingzhen started to look for it from the bed, and after a while, she turned over the whole room, but not to mention the box with silver tickets, there was not even a lock in this room.

Coming out of the east wing, the next thing is to find the west wing opposite, which is probably used to give the guests a place to live, in addition to the kang there is only a set of tables, chairs and cabinets left, probably because of the fear of rain and resurgence, the cabinet door is wide open, and you don't even need to look for it.

Next is the main house, a total of three houses are connected to each other, the middle one is the living room, the left is the living room of the old couple, and the right is a small study, Gu Mingzhen turned these three rooms upside down after a while, and still didn't find what she was looking for.

There was no need to find the one that was used as a kitchen on both sides, so only the one used to store miscellaneous items remained.

Gu Mingzhen thumped her old waist, there was not even a lock in this utility room, and the door opened as soon as she pushed it.

I don't know how many years no one has been here, the moment I opened the door, there was a squeak, and a smell of dust and musty smell came to my face, Gu Mingzhen raised her hand and covered her mouth and nose with her sleeve, and waited for the dust to dissipate before she opened her eyes and looked at the utility room.

There is Ye's style in it as always, there are two shelves in the room, all the small things are neatly placed on it, there is no clutter, Gu Mingzhen turned all the way over, and finally found the small box in the innermost corner of the room, the front size looks like the size of an ordinary fifteen-inch notebook.

Gu Mingzhen took out the rusty key from her pocket and inserted it, twisted it hard, and the lock opened with a click.

The first thing that caught my eye was a layer of oiled paper, Gu Mingzhen carefully uncovered the oiled paper, and there were silver tickets underneath, with a denomination of fifty taels and a total of ten, a total of five hundred taels, this money was a huge amount of money for Gu Mingzhen in both modern and ancient times.

Gu Mingzhen was a little at a loss with excitement, her right hand holding the silver ticket kept shaking, Gu Mingzhen raised her left hand and gave her right hand a hard time, and her right hand stopped shaking in pain, but then it shook even more.

Get...... Seeing that Qian Hand opened his right hand, he couldn't take it, Gu Mingzhen put the silver ticket aside, and picked up a piece of letter paper folded below, there were a lot of words densely written on this paper, because they were all traditional characters, it looked a little slow.

After reading the first two sentences, Gu Mingzhen probably understood, what is written on this paper is Ye's life experience, she is not Ye Xiucai's own daughter, and Ye Chen's is only Ye's nurse, not her mother.

Ye was originally born in a famous family in Chang'an, and there were people in the court for several generations as officials, until Princess Taiping in her later years, because several princes and princesses competed for the throne and were implicated in the house, when Ye was just born, she was secretly sent out by her family, and the nurse Chen took her all the way to the east, and later met Ye Xiucai, when his wife just died, Chen survived the identity of his wife. There was probably enough money to be stuffed, and until Chen's death, the matter was not revealed.

At the end of the letter, he focused on one thing: before she died, she left this letter just to tell Ye her true identity, and did not want her to affect her normal life because of this incident, and if Ye could see this letter in his lifetime, he hoped to burn incense and paper for her own Zhao family during the New Year.

Gu Mingzhen carefully folded the letter and put it back in the small box in a complicated mood, and then put the box into the space.

Based on Gu Mingzhen's observation of the Ye family in the past few days, she obviously can't do what the Chen family wants, if she really knows about it, I'm afraid her eyes will cry blind, and the letter doesn't explain whether the people of the Zhao family have been beheaded or exiled, with the character of the Ye family, if there is a little hope, it must be found, where can I find this mountain and water?

Gu Mingzhen repeatedly reminded herself several times in her heart, and when she returned home for a while, she didn't show anything strange in front of Ye's family, and after reading this letter, her mood calmed down a lot, but as soon as her eyes touched the stack of silver tickets, she couldn't control her excitement, so she simply couldn't see it and threw the silver tickets into the space.

After doing this, she calmed down and carefully selected the seeds that she was going to plant in this dynasty.

The potato has a high yield and a large effect, and it must be taken out, and the corn will be stewed in a store when the time comes, and it will also be taken out, not to mention the usefulness of potatoes, and then there will be bitter gourd, onions, tomatoes, and most importantly, peppers.

The paper that wrapped the seeds came from her house early in the morning when Liu Hongying was not paying attention, and the seeds wrapped in this paper would not arouse Ye's suspicions, Gu Mingzhen carefully changed the packaging of the seeds to be packed, threw them into the back basket together with the potatoes, and then covered the cloth bought for the Ye family, locked the door and returned to the old Gu family.
