Chapter 061: The Secret History
The next day, Yuhe met Qingling in the yard and couldn't hide her excitement and told her: "Someone saw Zungong go to the plum garden!" I'm afraid I'm going to find trouble with that son after hearing something, should I tell my son-in-law? ”
Qingling thought for a while, "Go and say something!" ”
"I don't want to say it." Yuhe pouted and said, "It's good to let Zungong teach that Ziyin a lesson!" It's best to get out of the house. ”
Qingling shook her head and sighed, reflexively went back to the house to tell Shen Liancheng about the matter.
When Shen Liancheng heard about this, he was not surprised. She knew that this day would come sooner or later. 's father was furious, just giving her the opportunity to stage a love match Jin Jian.
"How long has Father been gone?" She asked unhurriedly.
"Listening to Yuhe's meaning, it should be over." Qingling replied.
Shen Liancheng took a sip of tea before getting up. "Check it out."
In the plum garden, Shen Zhongshu looked solemn and sat on the upper seat, but he didn't speak for a long time. His eyes fell on the sachet on Ziyin's waist, which was not finely made, and he was so angry that he swallowed a few sips of tea.
Ziyin was prepared to deal with it, standing calmly, upright, and without any fear.
Shen Zhongshu glanced at him, then put down the teacup, calmed down, and asked as slowly as possible: "I've been dormant in my mansion for so long, and I haven't found what you want?" ”
Ziyin was silently shocked, but he didn't expect that Shen Zhongshu didn't come to talk about himself and his daughter, but this one!
He originally thought that Shen Zhongshu had never come to ask him this question because Shen Liancheng kept him a secret, but it turned out that it was not.
And as the head of the family, since Shen Zhongshu knew his purpose, it was really surprising that he was able to calm down and ignore it for so many days.
It is rumored that the Duke of Jin Guo, who only knows the merry and happy life, turns out that he is not completely without the scheming to inherit Mrs. Shen!
"What are you looking for?" Shen Zhongshu asked again.
After not seeing Ziyin speak back for a long time, he suddenly laughed, and continued: "More than ten years ago, when I was digging in the Jinyang Mansion, I got a ......."
Ziyin's quiet eyes suddenly moved. No wonder he couldn't find it when he searched night and night, it turned out that the thing had fallen into the hands of this Shen Zhongshu early in the morning! It's just that such an inconspicuous thing was not thrown away when the laborers were digging the ground, but handed it over to him?
Seeing Ziyin's calm face, Shen Zhongshu felt a sense of pride.
Ever since Ziyin sneaked into the artificial lake built by his family every night, he had already determined that what he was looking for was the one he had in his hand. He didn't make it clear to him for a long time, pretending that he didn't know anything, but he just wanted him to drink a few more sips of lake water, get closer to the silt in the lake, and suffer some hardships.
He said with a smile: "In the dead of night, you dived into Qinxin Lake, but you repeatedly returned in vain, right?" No wonder you, Qinxin Lake has been built for more than ten years, silt is deposited, and you want to find clues about that thing, which is tantamount to looking for a needle in the bottom of the sea. Not to mention ......"
After a pause, he laughed even more, and looked at Ziyin with sharp eyes: "You just drained the lake water, and you can't find it if you turn over the bottom of the lake." After all, things are long gone in the lake. ”
All the while, he's playing tricks on himself! Ziyin was a little angry, but he still hooked the corners of his lips and smiled. Immediately, he asked Shen Zhongshu unabashedly: "Where is the thing?" ”
"Naturally, I'll take it well." Shen Zhongshu couldn't help but think about the past, and felt that it was really a coincidence that he got that thing.
At that time, the laborers dug the ground, dug up a bamboo tube half a foot long and the thickness of the cup, and threw it away on the spot. It was he who happened to pass by, and at a glance he saw that the bamboo tube was a Buddha's belly bamboo that only had Miao Jiang, so he couldn't help but take a closer look.
It was because of this careful look that he discovered that there was a long-standing parchment scroll hidden in the bamboo tube.
The parchment scroll is a map of Chen Guo, which is not unusual. Strangely, after some research, he found that the map was still the map of the founding of the Chen Kingdom, and there were many marks on it that he could not understand.
Later, when the Chen Kingdom perished, it was not good for him to take out this thing often and look at it, so he put it away. Occasionally, I thought about it, but I didn't think about it.
"There's a big secret up there, right?" Shen Zhongshu was interested, and he didn't hide his curiosity and asked Ziyin directly, and said: "If you don't tell me the truth, I won't give it to you in vain." ”
Ziyin said: "This is my Chen Guo's thing, and it is to respect the public and return it to the original owner." ”
"It's your Chen Guo's thing, and it also appeared in my house." Shen Zhongshu didn't care, "What's more, I have a private collection of old things from Chen Guo, but I can say that it is big or big, and it is small or small." If you don't thank me, but want to take things away for nothing, I'm afraid it's not moral. ”
Ziyin was a little surprised, thought for a while and asked, "How do you want me to thank you?" ”
"It's simple, just tell me the secrets and quench my curiosity." Although Shen Zhongshu smiled, his eyes were gloomy, and he looked like he had to know. After that, he repeated his years of speculation: "But what kind of treasure map? ”
Ziyin couldn't help but smile and was silent for a few moments, but his eyes inadvertently caught a glimpse of the familiar figure outside the door - it was Shen Liancheng eavesdropping outside.
After lowering his eyes, he finally told Shen Zhongshu: "With it, I can find the real burial place of Chen Taizu." ”
Shen Zhongshu was not satisfied when he heard this, but he was puzzled: "Isn't Chen Taizu's tomb in Gushan?" ”
Ziyin shook his head, and might as well tell him: "The one lying in the tomb of Gushan is not the real Emperor Taizu. ”
Shen Zhongshu was silent for a while, thinking, what if he found the real burial place of Chen Taizu? Perhaps, it has some meaning to Chen Guoren, but for him, it is just a pile of broken copper and iron! He wasn't interested.
Shen Liancheng finally broke in through the door.
She didn't say anything when she entered the house, she just looked at Ziyin, and asked him with shining eyes: "The one buried in the Gushan tomb is really not Chen Taizu?" ”
Shen Zhongshu was puzzled, wondering how his daughter was so interested in where Chen Taizu was buried.
Ziyin nodded, and swore an oath: "If you have the parchment scroll in the hand of the honored prince, I can find it." ”
He knew that Shen Liancheng grew up beside Shen Kuo. How important it was to find the real burial place of Chen Taizu, she definitely wanted to find it.
However, he was also worried that since Shen Liancheng knew about this, he would most likely give the parchment roll to her grandfather Shen Kuo. But if he doesn't pass her, he wants to lead Shen Zhongshu to hand over the parchment scroll, but I'm afraid it won't be easy.
It depends on how deep her affection for herself is.
"The parchment scroll is the only clue that Chen Taizu left to the world, and the secret hidden is probably only solved by me now." Ziyin said this intentionally.
Shen Liancheng's face was still happy when he came in, but he was secretly thinking in his heart.
