Chapter 10 Lettering

Qin Han really didn't know Guan's name, so after thinking about it, he asked Zhang's mother: "This hairpin is a pair, right?

Zhang's mother glanced at it and was a little surprised: "Isn't this grandma's thing? Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info I always thought it was in the box, how could it be in my sister's hands?"

Mama Hu told Cui'er about stealing hairpins, and Mama Zhang said angrily: "It's her again! When she first came to our house when she was a child, she only wore a rag shirt, and her hands were empty, and even the bedding was rewarded by her grandmother." In the past five or six years, she has several new clothes every year, and she has also accumulated a lot of family belongings. Not to mention the monthly salary, the grandmother is kind, and there is a reward for the New Year's holidays, she is on the seal every time, and even her family has benefited, and she built a new house last year. This dead girl is not satisfied, she even has to steal the materials of her grandmother's clothes, gold and silver jewelry, and she is not afraid that God will not be able to look at it, and a thunderbolt will hit her and kill her!"

Zhang's mother scolded a few words, then ran to Guan's room next door and brought over the makeup box she used before her death.

Guan's makeup box looks to be a relatively common ebony with copper buckles, which is a little old. Turning over the top cover of the box, there is a bronze mirror inside, which is very smooth and clear. Qin Hanzhen was slightly disappointed in his heart, it turned out that he ...... Haven't you reached the age when you can use glass mirrors?

There are several combs of different materials in the makeup box, some are horns, some are wood, and some are relatively small and delicate silver combs with carved flowers, probably for decoration. In addition, there are several pairs of bracelets, seven or eight hairpins of different styles, silk flowers, etc., and there are not many jewelry. Just like Mama Tiger said, Guan didn't like to wear gold and silver very much during his lifetime, and his style was simple.

Another golden hairpin was stored in a small drawer at the bottom of the makeup box, along with two hostas and a few folded pieces of paper. Qin Hanzhen glanced at it in a hurry, and couldn't see what those papers were. Zhang's mother handed over the golden hairpin, and she didn't care about anything else.

The two golden hairpins are really a pair, the same style, the same size, if there is anything different, that is, the one found in Cui'er's house, it seems to be newer and brighter. The one in Guan's makeup box gives people the feeling that it has been left there for a long time and no one cares, so it looks relatively dull.

The day of Guan's death happened to be the 100th day of the death of her husband Qin Ping. It is not suitable to wear gold jewelry during the filial piety period, and it is normal for her to put away the hairpin and ignore it. As for the one Cui'er stole from, it was probably because she had cleaned it up, but since she had time to clean the hairpin, why didn't she take it home with her, but kept it in her room in the Qin family's mansion?

Qin Han was really puzzled, and took a closer look at the hairpin in Guan's makeup box, and found that there was also an inscription on the hairpin, but it was a "Rong" character, but this engraving looked like it had been some years, and there were some stains on the word marks, which seemed to be stained with hair oil.

Just when she was holding the pair of hairpins, Mama Tiger and Mama Zhang had already sorted out the things in the two bags and put them back in Guan's room, and when she looked back at Qin Hanzhen holding the pair of hairpins, Mama Hu couldn't help asking, "Sister, what are you looking at?"

Qin Hanzhen said with some doubts: "There seems to be an inscription on the hairpin......

Zhang's mother smiled: "Sister, did you see the name of our grandmother? I heard that it was specially ordered by the in-laws for the eldest grandmother to marry, so the name of the eldest grandmother was engraved on it. ”

Qin Hanzhen asked her, "What is my mother's name?" I don't seem to remember. ”

Mama Hu took the hairpin with a smile: "My sister has been enlightened with the master for two years, can't she still recognize the name of the eldest grandmother?" Look, isn't it engraved here? Rong ......" She paused and didn't continue. Because she was holding a hairpin engraved with the word "English" in her hand.

Qin Hanzhen looked at her curiously, not understanding why she didn't continue. Is her name Guan Rongying or Guan Yingrong engraved on the hairpin?

At this moment, Zhang's mother came over: "Grandma's name is Rong Niang, right? I heard that it means hibiscus flowers." But I haven't seen it, grandma said that this kind of flower is very beautiful, when the uncle took her to Xi'an City, I saw it. ”

Qin Hanzhen was stunned. If Guan's name is Guan Rongniang, what does the word "Ying" mean?

Mama Hu asked Mama Zhang with some seriousness: "You often comb your grandmother's hair, do you remember what words she carved on the hairpins?"

Zhang's mother looked at her expression and was a little surprised: "It's the name of the eldest grandmother engraved?"

"How did you carve it? Do you have the word 'Rong' on both of them?"

Zhang's mother shook her head suspiciously: "No, only one is engraved with the word Rong, and the other one should be engraved with the font number of Yinlou, right?" I remember that it seems to be 'Lishengji', which is the most famous time-honored brand in the county. ”

Speaking of Li Shengji, she is still a little sad. When she was newly married, her husband gave her a pair of glossy silver bracelets, saying that he would give her gold when he made money in the future, and he would play in the best silver building in Lisheng Ji, the best silver building in Quanmizhi County. But who would have thought that the husband had been away from home for many years, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, so the gold bracelet was naturally gone. So she combs her grandmother Guan's hair on weekdays, and when she sees the Lisheng mark engraved on the golden hairpin, she can't help but touch it a few times. She has no other hope now, she just hopes that when her son Brother Hun grows up and marries his daughter-in-law, she can save enough silver and give her daughter-in-law a pair of gold bracelets, and she will be satisfied.

Mama Hu didn't pay attention to Zhang's mother's sigh, she flipped her wrist, and did not find the mark of "Li Shengji" on the hairpin, but found traces of polishing in the thicker position of the hairpin, and the word "Ying" was also engraved here.

Mama Tiger quietly wrapped a pair of golden hairpins in a handkerchief, and asked Mama Zhang: "When was the last time you saw this pair of golden hairpins?

Zhang's mother recalled: "On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, the grandmother wore it for the last time. It happened to be the day when I combed my grandmother's hair. The eldest grandmother didn't want to wear gold, but I persuaded her to wear it, and added a newly bought silk flower, looking festive. Later, within a few days, the uncle ......" She paused and didn't continue.

Mama Tiger understood, and asked again: "What words were engraved on the hairpin rod at that time?"

Zhang's mother looked at her puzzled: "What else can it be?" Mama Tiger, is there something wrong with the hairpin?" said he wanted to reach out and take a closer look at the hairpin.

Mama Hu said: "Don't ask, don't tell someone to ask, I'll talk to my wife about this." With that, he put the handkerchief wrapped in the hairpin into his sleeve, and then lifted his foot and went out of the room.

Qin Hanzhen and Zhang's mother looked at each other. The latter was a little uneasy: "Sister, what the hell is Mama Tiger?" Qin Hanzhen frowned and didn't speak.

It seems that the word "Ying" engraved on the golden hairpin is very problematic. Since there was no original, it is newly engraved. Did Cui'er steal it and engrave it? Why?

Qin Hanzhen thought left and right, but still couldn't think of an answer. She was even more curious about what the word "English" represented, and why did Mama Tiger look solemn?

Mama Tiger went to the main house and talked to Niu, but she didn't know what she was talking about. At dinner, Niu didn't ask anyone to take Qin Hanzhen over to eat together, so she still stayed in her own room and was waited by Zhang's mother for a simple dinner.

At night, the lights were lit, and Mama Tiger came again, calling Mama Zhang to go to Guan's room next door to sort out her relics. Zhang's mother was going to coax Qin Hanzhen to go to sleep, so she had to climb down the kang and get dressed, and her mouth was still chattering: "What's the tossing at night? I didn't come after waiting for a long time at noon, so it's okay to do it tomorrow, why do you have to go here?"

Qin Hanzhen lay on the kang and listened attentively to the movement of the next room. Mama Tiger should be like what she said to Niu during the day, sort out the Guan family's relics a little, and then clean them up, so that no random person can steal one or two pieces, and the family doesn't know yet. Besides, since Guan has passed away, her things are useless, and she should also put them away to prevent dust.

It's just that...... Since it was to clean up things, how could Qin Hanzhen feel that the next door seemed to be more like rummaging through things? What boxes and cabinets were opened, and Mama Hu was still urging Mama Zhang to find the key. Although it is possible that she wanted to find out how many objects Cui'er had stolen, she came to such a ...... overnight It's not a small battle.

Qin Hanzhen was young and frail, and today she bothered her brain and ran to the main house, so she lay on the kang and listened to the sound next door, listened to it, and fell asleep unconsciously.

Although Qin Hanzhen fell asleep, in the west wing of a courtyard, He and Taisheng's sister-in-law were still paying attention to the movements in the east wing. Mama Hu led Mama Zhang into Guan's house, although the reason was to sort out Guan's relics, but the weak-hearted He family and Taisheng's sister-in-law knew what was going on.

He gritted his teeth and scolded: "Cui'er, that idiot! She didn't follow my instructions and put the golden hairpin back in its place!"

Taisheng's sister-in-law is also secretly screaming bad luck. She knew that Cui'er was stupid and her eyelids were extremely shallow, but she never imagined that Cui'er was so stupid and shallow that her eyelids were so shallow! Long before Guan's death, the golden hairpin had already done her best. Cui'er should have put her things back in her own room a long time ago, what does it mean to keep them in her own room......? She is greedy for gold dazzling, so she wants to collect it privately for a few more days? If Cui'er is not picked up today, it is nothing, but it is a few days late. But the question is...... Cui'er was taken away! In addition, she stole so many things, and the golden hairpin became stolen goods, so it was not easy to make a fuss.

Taisheng's sister-in-law sighed and asked He: "Grandma, how can you be good now? The thing was found in Cui'er's house, even if they found the words on the hairpin, it can't be said that the eldest grandmother carved it?"

He snorted coldly: "That's it, a pair of golden hairpins is just a supporting certificate, it doesn't matter if it's missing." The most important thing now is to make sure that Wu Shaoying's crime is confirmed! Doesn't it mean that the old man of the Guan family is sick and dying? It just so happens that when Wu Shaoying can't get out, we will strike first, and if the old man Guan dies of illness in a fit of anger, this matter will be considered a certainty. Wu Shaoying wants to wash away her innocence? That's a dream!"

After speaking, she paused, revealing a smug smile, "Guan's slut...... Don't be a chaste martyr!"
