Jiang Moyan's confession ceremony was still very smooth, with the big tree of Prime Minister Tong supporting him, naturally no one dared to make trouble. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

As for Jiang Moyan's identity, it is only said that the prime minister's eldest lady, due to her frail and sickly health, she was raised in the nunnery since she was a child, and now that she has returned home, she naturally recovers her identity and becomes the eldest lady of the prime minister's mansion. As for the concubine, the prime minister didn't say anything, and no one dared to ask; And Jiang Moyan's biological mother was automatically forgotten by everyone.

Since he entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, Jiang Moyan's name can no longer be used, and Prime Minister Tong Cheng continued to use the word "Xi" in the names of his daughters, and took the word "maple", saying that her mother's favorite was the red maple leaves in late autumn. Since then, Jiang Moyan has become the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Tong Xifeng.

The population of the Prime Minister's Mansion is not too large. Tong Qishan's generation is single, and the other clansmen are still living in their hometowns, and there is no one else in the house except their family.

The old lady Wu is a peaceful and loving old woman, but she doesn't like to be noisy, and in her early years, she handed over the entire middle feed to Pei's family, eating fasting and chanting Buddha every day, and rarely came out to walk around. Jiang Moyan was led by his father to the Buddha Hall to see his grandmother, and got a white jade Buddha bead that the old lady withdrew from her hand, and after listening to a few words of praise, he withdrew.

The prime minister's wife, Pei, is a woman in her thirties, wearing a lotus blue satin auspicious pattern through sleeve skirt, because of proper maintenance, although she has a son and a daughter, she still shows the charm of a mature woman, but the nasolabial folds at the corners of her mouth show the majesty of her mother-in-law thoroughly.

Jiang Moyan stepped forward to meet his mother, took a pair of jade bracelets handed over by the old grandmother beside Mrs. Pei, and stood up.

The eldest son, Tong Guangxiu, inherited the appearance of Tong Chengxiang, with a polite appearance, but those cold eyes resembled Pei's, and Jiang Moyan had been looking at her since he came in.

The former eldest lady, now the second lady Tong Xihuan is simply a copy of Pei's, wearing a short jacket with a purple waist pinched with gold wire piping, with a blue embroidered bamboo skirt, standing there with a very famous lady's temperament. If he hadn't known that this woman was the murderer who killed Jiang Moyan's predecessor, Jiang Moyan would have been blinded by her appearance.

The two of them had been standing next to Mrs. Pei, and when they saw Jiang Mo's words and salutes, the two of them only turned sideways slightly. After Jiang Moyan got up, they also came up and saluted in a regular manner. Jiang Moyan gave them the two books he had brought back from Pudu Nunnery.

Behind them, there were two women and a man, and three women dressed as women, these were the prime minister's aunts and concubines. Jiang Moyan also gave some meeting gifts one by one, which can be regarded as a dismissive.

The daughters in the Prime Minister's Mansion all lived in Lianzhu Pavilion, and a small single courtyard at the back of Lianzhu Pavilion became Jiang Moyan's room.

Mama Rong, who led Jiang Moyan in, explained that the three young ladies had been living in the courtyard in front for many years, and it was too troublesome to move. Although this small single courtyard is a little more secluded, it is better than a large place, with three main rooms, and there are supporting rooms in the east and west. In the courtyard, a big tree hugged by two people shades a large area of shade, stone tables and stone benches under the tree, and a few creepers are planted in the corner of the courtyard, making the entire courtyard wall green.

The interior decoration is also gorgeous, but in the eyes of Jiang Moyan, a modern person living in a bustling city, it is just enough to live in it. The main house is a living room, with two bonsai on the table of eight immortals against the wall, and a picture of a lady appreciating plum blossoms on the wall; There are several chairs next to it, covered with peony-embroidered cushions.

The east side room is a bedroom, with a pink and yellow curtain hanging on the pear blossom wood embroidery bed, and a few tassels gently swaying; There is a wooden dresser next to it, a half-person-high copper mirror hanging on it is very eye-catching, and there are several delicate boxes neatly placed on the table. A pot of orchids sits by the window, and a few orchids bloom proudly in the flecks of sunlight that shines in from the hollowed-out carved windows.

The west side room is a study, a whole row of bookshelves are full of thread-bound books, and the four treasures of the study room are neatly placed on the table. Jiang Moyan was not very accustomed to the costume books, so he only glanced at them, and heard that Mama Rong had brought someone in outside.

Jiang Moyan went out with Xiao Ye, and saw several maids and servants neatly lined up, saying that it was the housekeeper who had assigned them to the servants in the eldest lady's courtyard.

Before she could ask, a few more people came over there, all holding or carrying something in their hands. Xiao Ye asked everyone to carry them in, and only then did an old servant come up and say, "Miss, the little one is ordered by the Prime Minister to send some things to the Miss." ”

When those maids saw the boxes of different sizes, they all exchanged glances with each other, and the silence on their faces changed to excitement.

Jiang Moyan saw it in his eyes, ignored everyone, and only instructed Xiao Ye: "Carry them all into the warehouse and register them." Xiao Ye went down happily.

Jiang Moyan turned around and asked those people, "Is there a leader among you?" Several people glanced at each other, and a grandmother stepped forward and said, "The old slave Liu San's family is the housekeeper sent by the lady." ”

"Well, then you'll be in charge of the yard. There is only one way, and you and the rest of you can only move around in the courtyard and in this living room, and no one can enter my bedroom and study without my permission. Can you remember them all? ”

Everyone hurriedly responded, but there were more doubts in their eyes.

After sending everyone away, Jiang Moyan returned to the bedroom and took out the box left by her mother. The body of the box is vermilion, the four corners are pasted with copper sheets, and the four sides are carved with complicated patterns. It is about 30 centimeters long, 10 centimeters high, and 10 centimeters wide. When the lid was opened, there was only the scroll inside, with a red cloth underneath, and nothing else.

Jiang Moyan took out the red cloth and studied it for a long time, it was an ordinary red cloth. I picked up the box and looked at it carefully for a long time, but I still didn't find anything. Since the mother solemnly left this box, there must be some secret hidden, but what is it?

Jiang Moyan picked up the painting again and looked at it, the material is fine, the shaft is fine, and it shines against the sun, there should be no dark words or interlayers.

Since it is not the problem of the painting itself, it is in the picture? Jiang Moyan looked at the painting again, and the outline of the woman's face in the painting was really similar to her. The eyes of the person in the painting droop, and the eyes seem to be staring at the baby in his arms, the baby's red and light veil is half-wrapped around the body, and the face is not very clear. Jiang Moyan always felt that the picture was a little disobedient, and at this time he suddenly realized that there was something wrong with the child's clothes, and the red silk painting was a little out of place. Although the women's clothes are flowing, they can also be seen to be several layers, not like summer tulle. However, the red silk on the baby's body was too light, and the chubby little body could be faintly seen. So what does red silk mean here?

Looking at the woman's eyes again, there was something wrong, where was the slightest bit of mother's love for the child, obviously mourning, indifference, and mixed with some hatred.

According to Master Huixin's description, the mother should have died soon after giving birth, and the mother who had just given birth to two children should not have the energy to paint, so the painting may have been painted before the birth. Because he was not born, he didn't know that he was pregnant with two babies, and he didn't see the child's son, so he drew the outline of the baby with his imagination.

Judging from the mother's behavior of swearing to protect her child, she should be a loving mother, so what is this indifferent look? It seems that the red silk baby is still in his arms...... And so on, embrace the red thick, hold the silk - revenge.

Oh, my mother, you're too subtle, thanks to your daughter, I'm smart, so I can understand what you mean by being old!

Understanding the meaning of the painting, Jiang Moyan let out a long breath, didn't say a word, picked up the box and slapped it on the ground. Since Mom meant to let her take revenge, she must have left something in this box.

Jiang Moyan studied the box for a long time, and judging from the height comparison between the inside and outside of the box, there was at most a mezzanine inside, and it was only the thickness of a few sheets of paper. What did it take to smash things directly. Sure enough, a few yellowed pages of paper emerged from the cracked box.

Jiang Moyan picked up the piece of paper and looked at it......
