"This lady is an expert, she has a vision!" The young man who set up the stall exclaimed, "There is a story about this piece of jade, I wonder if you are interested?" ”

"Listen to stories? All right! Nian'er said excitedly, "If you want to listen, you have to listen!" Go back and talk to the two children, so that they don't upset me. ”

Ning Xi was also interested, she looked at Yifeng and Chang Sheng, but saw the two of them looking at the young man in unison, full of anticipation.

The young man smiled and said, "Thousands of years ago, I don't know what dynasty it was, there was a concubine who gave birth to twins. In the royal family, twins are taboo and related to the battle for the throne. If you give birth to twins, you have to put one to death. The concubine gave birth to twin sons, and she was reluctant to let her son die, so she asked her younger son to be sent out of the palace and put this jade pendant on his body. The little prince was adopted by well-wishers, and he grew up to seven or eight years old, and one day he went out, just in time for his brother to go out on patrol. His brother, who has become the crown prince, saw someone who looked exactly like him, so he paid it back and wanted to execute the little prince on the spot. Fortunately, the little prince's biological mother arrived in time and interceded for him. Only then did the prince be gracious and let him live, on the condition that he disfigured his appearance and broke his legs. ”

Nian'er gasped and sighed, "The little prince is so pitiful. ”

"It was not over yet," continued the young man, "and just as the prince was about to leave, there was a sudden cry. It turned out that all this was seen by a little girl passing by. The prince wanted to kill the little girl, but was stopped by the little prince's adoptive father. In order to save this innocent little girl, the adoptive father blurted out that the girl and the little prince had made a baby kiss. ”

Chang Sheng listened quietly, and some familiar pictures gradually appeared in his mind. With the young man's narration, those pictures gradually became clear:

The little girl left home and had a new identity. The little prince picked up a life, but became a cripple, and he began to give up on himself and live in decadence every day. However, his adoptive father did not give up on him. Later, his adoptive father died, and he grew up overnight and began to try to live. He secretly practiced martial arts every day, and his martial arts were very strong, but he was unkempt and drunk in front of people, and his excellence could not be shown, because his brother was inquiring about him at any time. ”

"That girl, she was sent to a hard place to learn martial arts. She didn't want to study, and she couldn't leave that place, so she had to keep an eye on her fiancé's news every day and entertain herself. After going down the mountain, she and the little prince met, fell in love, and got married. However, the little prince knew that she would be in danger with him, so he deliberately treated her coldly. At this time, the eldest prince, who had become an emperor, met the girl by chance and fell in love with her at first sight. But the girl only loved the disabled little prince and refused the emperor's pursuit. ”

Nian'er's mind conjured up a woman in men's clothes, leisurely watching an unkempt lame man sweating and chopping wood; Then the picture turned, the woman changed into a pink shirt, I don't know what she was waiting for, or the man, holding her hand tightly beside her; Then, it was she who was thrown to the ground by the man, and after the rain poured down and the man limped away, the woman cried loudly...... Closer, the picture is closer, she can clearly see that the woman has the same face as herself!

The little prince knew his wife's choice, but there was no way to stop her. He decided that he would no longer hide his feelings and would love her well with the rest of his life. The young man continued, "Not long after, the Queen Mother, the little prince and the emperor's biological mother, died. The emperor lost this scruple and decided to kill his brother. As soon as the wife of the little prince gave birth to a child, she sent the child away, risked her life to enter the palace to intercede, and the emperor locked them together. ”

Chang Sheng looked at Nian'er in a daze, that's right, the woman on the picture is exactly what she looks like!

Nian'er also stared at his face, looking straight ahead, it was him! He's the lame man!

"And then?" Ning Xi was fascinated by what he heard and couldn't help but ask.

"What happened afterwards is unknown," said the young man, "and it has been said that both husband and wife committed suicide in prison; It is also said that the emperor was moved by their love and let them go, and went to live incognito in a place where no one knew the way; Some people also say that the little prince himself was terminally ill and died after he died, leaving only the woman who guarded him for the rest of his life. ”

"Stories of good things often end in tragedy." Ning Xi sighed.

"Who said it was a tragedy?" The young man smiled mysteriously, looked at Chang Sheng and Nian'er, who were still staring at each other, and said, "Although the legend ends in tragedy, this story does not end. The promise of the previous life has been kept by God, and the rest depends on the creation of the two of them. ”

"No wonder it's so similar," Nian'er muttered to herself, "I remember, the statue in the backyard of Fayuan Temple is the emperor, right?" ”

"Then do you think the one next to you is an older brother or a younger brother?" The young man said, smiling at the two of them, "This jade pendant, it's time to return it to its original owner." ”

Ning Xi was a little surprised, she looked at Nian'er and Chang Sheng, and couldn't help asking, "You mean the two of them ......?"

"They're just messengers," the young man turned to Ning Xi, "and you're the one who truly fulfills them." This lady still remembers that we saw it in Fayuan Temple. ”

"Fayuan Temple?" Ning Xi recalled, but couldn't remember.

"It's normal that Madame doesn't remember," said the young man, "it's been too long, it must have been ten years, right?" At that time, I was still a little monk. It's been a long time, it's been six or seven years since I was a layman. He looked at Yifeng again and said with a smile, "After so many years, it seems that Madame has found a good home." ”

"If it had been ten years ago," Ning Xi pondered, "I would have been in the Totofu by then. Is it the day before Chinese New Year's Eve to Fayuan Temple? ”

"Probably," said the young man, "you went into my master's meditation room to ask for a lot. Later, you came to the temple again, and I found your jade pendant for you! ”

"Oh, yes, there is." Ning Xi recalled, "I'm ashamed, I don't remember the content of the sign!" She only remembered that she begged with Yu Rui that time, and the abbot said a lot of inexplicable words, and the content of the sign was also inexplicable, she thought about it for a long time and didn't understand it, so she gave up.

"I was hiding behind the door and I heard your conversation clearly." The young man smiled, "Master's words were very clear at that time, and I haven't forgotten them until now. ”

"What did your master say?" Ning Xihu wondered. "Is there really something that can't be said in the sign?"

"He said that the secret of heaven should not be divulged," said the young man, "but now, looking at the current state of Madame, it must have happened that what should have happened, and it would be okay to talk about it." ”

"Then I'll hear it too." Yifeng said, picked up a fan, unfolded it, and looked at it.

"Master said that you are the chosen one from heaven." The young man said.

Ning Xi was startled, glanced at Yifeng, and said suspiciously: "Could it be that I also have a past life?" ”

"That's not it," said the young man, "I still remember what Madame signed back then, 'A thousand years of white clouds, the ancients came.'" The white clouds have been empty for thousands of years, and the ancients have not seen them. This sign has the meaning of 'bamboo basket for water'. ”

Ning Xi sneered and muttered, "It turns out that this matter has long been doomed. ”

"This is providence, there is no other way." The young man said, "Even if Master told you the truth at that time, do you think you can avoid it?" ”

Ning Xi was silent.

"Little brother," Yifeng began, "did you just say that she is the chosen one from heaven, is it a catastrophe?" Now it seems that her catastrophe is over? ”

"Is there an end, don't you know?" The young man asked with a smile.

"What about us?" Nian'er said, "We have come to this day, will we not repeat what happened in the story again?" ”

"It's all up to you," said the young man, "and what will be left after surviving the winds and the Lang?" It depends on whether you will cherish your fate and the hardships you have endured. Master said that good and bad are predestined, but it is not necessarily a bad thing. As long as people don't die, there will be a day when they will survive. He turned to Ning Xi again, "The man who came with you back then is good now?" ”

Ning Xi shook his head, and then asked; "At that time, he also asked for a lot, did your master say anything?"

"I don't remember the content of his sign," the young man scratched his head, "I only remember that Master said that the sign was to the effect that because he didn't cherish it, the people around him would leave him one after another, and he couldn't keep it." ”

"That's her, right?" Yifeng smiled, stretched out the fan in his hand, and grabbed Ning Xi.

"Wait, you ...... fan," the young man asked with a look of disbelief as he stared at the fan, "how did you open this?" ”

"Can't you open it?" Yifeng closed and opened the fan, and asked suspiciously, "Is there a problem?" ”

The young man smiled and sighed, "What day is today, there are two treasures that have found someone who is destined at the same time." ”

"What's written on this?" Ningxi opened the fan and looked at it.

"When is the time for retribution, how much do you know about the grievances and grievances of Hongchen, the mountain roads are far away and the rivers are far away, and the words are forgotten around the heart." Ning Xi read the first four sentences, then skimmed through the following text, and then asked, "Is this to persuade people to be tolerant and not to take revenge?" ”

Yifeng's eyes fell on the inscription at the end of the poem, which was actually stamped with the seal of their Qin family!

"This, I hope my brother will take it back and ask the old people at home, they should know better than me." The young man said, "It is said that this fan was lost from the home of a convicted big family during the Guangxu period, and no one has opened it since." When I met you today, I returned to the original owner! ”
