Chapter 36: Revealed
Seeing that Princess Jinning nodded blankly, Mao Xiaolin turned around and walked with her to the back room, and after half a sound, the woman poked her head out of the kitchen and shouted, "Xiaolin, the dish is ready, and you can't serve it yet." ”
"Oh, I see. Mao Xiaolin said yes and walked out, and soon a plate of sumptuous dishes was presented, although it was not made of precious ingredients, but it also had a unique flavor for the countryside.
"Come on, kid, try it. After all the dishes were served, the woman smiled and gave way to Princess Jinning.
"Thank you, Auntie. Princess Jinning also politely agreed, then picked up the chopsticks, sandwiched a piece of pork belly and ate it with a taste.
"Hehe, after the deliciousness, my aunt will make it for you every day. The woman said again, and saw that Princess Jinning had already begun to use chopsticks to dig into her mouth, and she had lost the princess's proper temperament at all, and just gobbled up two words.
"This ...... The child eats slowly, there is still something in the pot. Seeing this way of eating, the woman was also shocked, and saw that she was stunned for two seconds and whispered greetings.
Mao Xiaolin also helplessly moved his face, his disgusted eyes drifted by, and he picked up the chopsticks and prepared to eat, when a person walked in from the gate, stood in the courtyard and smiled at the three people who were eating.
"It turned out to be Brother Jiu, have you eaten?" Seeing the visitor, the woman hurriedly stood up and asked politely.
"Hehe, it seems that I came at the right time, making so many dishes, what kind of happy event is this stall Xiaolin's mother?" the man said with a smile, and walked in with small steps, and when he saw the woman, he hurriedly brought a stool and motioned for him to sit down.
The man known as Brother Jiu is named Shen Jiuhua, and he is also Shen Mengxin's grandfather, about fifty years old, wearing flower pants, a white vest, and a big pu fan in his hand. ”
Seeing this, Shen Jiuhua hurriedly picked up the cup and lifted it over, watching the wine glass be full, he tasted it with a "chirp", and his expression appeared very evocatively, and then he picked up the chopsticks and was about to pick up the vegetables, and when he looked back, he accidentally saw the jade pendant on the chest of Princess Jinning, so his face precipitated and began to look carefully.
"Bastard, you old pervert dare to peep at Princess Ben!" Princess Jin Ning looked at Shen Jiuhua's obsessive expression, and suddenly felt numb in her heart, and hurriedly covered her chest with her hands and scolded with a face.
"Hey, Uncle Nine, what are you doing?" Seeing this, Mao Xiaolin was also very depressed, and asked with squinted eyes.
"Shhh
"I ...... Why am I telling you, you old rascal. Princess Jin Ning looked at his expression, and was vaguely afraid in her heart, and was stunned for a few seconds before replying.
"I'm a famous professor in our village, how can you say I'm a hooligan, tell me where I picked it up?" Shen Jiuhua asked again and again, which made Mao Xiaolin quite puzzled, so he asked in a low voice, "Jiu...... Uncle Jiu, is there anything wrong with this jade pendant? She still has a lot of jewelry before, but it's all with me, but this jade pendant is ......."
"This jade Peiben princess has been wearing it on her body since she was a child, what are you old man asking for?" Princess Jin Ning picked up a tissue and wiped her mouth, and said with a calm face.
Hearing her keep claiming that she was a princess, a trace of surprise flashed on Shen Jiuhua's face, as if a catastrophe was coming, seeing him put down the wine glass and hurriedly stood up and walked out, just took two steps and stopped, turned his back to everyone and said sternly, "Xiaolin, you take this girl with me, be fast!" The strong tone forced Mao Xiaolin to be shocked in his heart, as if thousands of cold hairs had stood up in horror, but before he could speak, he was preempted by Princess Jinning, "Hmph, don't you think, why does this princess want to go with you?"
"This ...... Brother Jiu, what's wrong? Isn't this girl very good, come on, come on, eat first......" The woman was also confused, and said in a voice that broke her mind.
"Xiaolin's mother, wait for the meal before eating, let Xiaolin and the others come out first. Shen Jiuhua never looked back, and his voice became heavier and heavier, and when he saw that there was no response, he urged, "If I can let you go back to where you should go, so you won't refuse, right?"
"Shenma! you...... What you said is true?" Princess Jin Ning was suddenly stunned and asked with a surprised expression.
"You don't talk nonsense, it's a net liar, Jin Ning doesn't pay attention to him. As soon as Mao Xiaolin's words fell, Princess Jin Ning had already walked out of the chair, and went out with Shen Jiuhua in the case of the two of them being confused. ”
Soon the three of them came to an old house, surrounded by piles of garbage on the ground, fallen leaves and branches all over the yard, and cobwebs hanging in the corners, leaving people with a sense of darkness, and after looking at it, they knew that no one had cleaned it for a long time.
"Long ...... Uncle Nine, what are we doing here?" Mao Xiaolin stood on tiptoe and didn't know where to go, asked with disgust on his face, and saw that Shen Jiuhua didn't respond, just walked towards the old mansion silently, took out a bunch of keys and opened the old lock, seeing this, Princess Jinning stepped on the dead leaves and followed without fear.
"Girl, I have something to ask you before that, and please answer it truthfully. The two walked into the room and stood beside a shabby table of eight immortals, Shen Jiuhua picked up a rag, wiped the table and said.
"Okay, as long as I can let this princess go back, I will promise anything, you ask. Princess Jin Ning replied earnestly, and when she saw him put down the rag, she calmed down and said, "Have you ever heard of the shimmering chain jade?"
"She's not only heard it, that's what she brought here. At this time, Mao Xiaolin suddenly rushed out, and hurriedly answered first when he heard the question.
"That's not surprising. Shen Jiuhua's face turned slightly, he first nodded with a mutter, and then turned to Princess Jinning and said seriously, "You are the sixth daughter of Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, and you are also his most beloved youngest daughter, and you are called Princess Jinning by the Tang royal family, am I right?"
"You...... Who are you, how can you know so much about this princess?" After hearing him, Princess Jin Ning asked with disbelief in her eyes and a shocked face.
"Hehe, now you can trust me to send you back. Shen Jiuhua had a kind smile on his face, stared at her and asked deliberately.
"You...... How do you know so much? Didn't you find it before, Uncle Jiu, you are actually a half-immortal?" Mao Xiaolin felt amazing after hearing this, and said incredulously when he saw him.
"Xiaolin, I'm not a half-immortal, you'll understand after reading this. Shen Jiuhua took out a wooden box from under the table of the Eight Immortals, then put it on the table, wiped the dust with his cuffs and said.
"Is this, a fortune-telling book?" watched as he opened the wooden box, took out a worn-out blue book, and flipped through it with his hands.
"This is it. Shen Jiuhua suddenly stopped his hand, pointed to the contents of the book and said, only to see that it was clearly recorded, "In the ninth year of Zhenguan, Princess Jinning disappeared inexplicably when she married Xiliang, and Li Shimin sent troops to search for three months without success. Mao Xiaolin couldn't help but be surprised after reading it, and looked at it for a few more seconds, who would have thought that before he could finish it, he was turned the page, "You see that there is information about Shuo Lianyu here, with the advantages of heaven and place, it can transform amazing power, so I expect that she must be the princess of the Tang Dynasty!" Shen Jiuhua said in a stern tone and with confidence.
"Are you so sure? No one will believe me when I cut my throat. Mao Xiaolin was stunned, looked at him and asked.
"That's right, what told me the answer was the blue jade pendant on her chest, this is not a mortal thing, if it is circulated, it cannot be intact and protected today, plus the handwriting patterns on both sides of it are engraved with Sanskrit of the Tang Dynasty, so it is absolutely not wrong. After Shen Jiuhua finished speaking, he calmed down and waved the big pu fan, seeing that Princess Jinning took two steps back in a daze, and immediately begged with a face full of grievances, "You help me, I think the imperial brother still has Yun'er." ”
Seeing her go home, Mao Xiaolin's expression also precipitated, and he was more or less sympathetic in his heart, although he didn't want to accept this fact, he didn't deprive others of the right to yearn for, so he lowered his head in frustration and meditated silently.
"Smack!" At this time, there was a sudden sound like broken tiles at the door, and the three of them suddenly cheered up after hearing this, and looked around nervously, "It's not good! ”
As soon as Shen Jiuhua's words fell, the three of them rushed out together, and at this time, two men dressed strangely were stepping on the eaves wall and running on the tiles, accidentally dropping a card due to panic, seeing this, Mao Xiaolin hurriedly picked it up, and after taking a closer look, he said, "Miao Yuming? ”
