54, the mystery of the box
Su Pan'er was stunned for a moment, and immediately followed Zhuyu to Yanran Pavilion. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Bai Rixing also followed.
On the way, he pulled Zhuyu and asked the second aunt how she could get sick again? In the past two days, I have obviously been in good spirits. Zhuyu replied in a little panic, she didn't know, she only heard that the second aunt locked herself in the room today and usually locked herself in the room to rest, and when Calyx brought her lunch, she found that no one answered, and when she broke into the door, she saw that the second aunt had fainted on the couch, unconscious.
asked the eldest lady again, and Zhuyu replied one by one, saying that the eldest lady was already waiting for Dr. Jin to come in the Yanran Pavilion, the third aunt went out, and the fourth aunt didn't know where to go, and the eldest lady had sent people to look for them.
Su Pan'er didn't feel strange when she heard that the third aunt was going out, but the fourth aunt was gone, which was a little strange. The fourth aunt is a typical timid and cowardly Jiangnan native, who usually doesn't go out of the door, how can she not be in the house?
In a blink of an eye, she had arrived at the Yanran Pavilion, and without thinking about it, Su Paner immediately strode into the room, only to see the eldest lady standing by the second aunt's bedside with tears in her eyes. And Bai Rixing was already called by her to find the third aunt halfway.
When she walked to the bedside, she saw that her second aunt's face was still as white as paper, and her forehead was still sweating. The eldest lady breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her, pulled her over with a smile, and told her the situation of the second aunt in detail. Doctor Jin finished detoxifying Bai Rixing yesterday, left some medicine and went back to his house. Now that there is no doctor in the house, the eldest lady is helpless, so she can only take the medicine left by Dr. Jin before to the second aunt.
The eldest lady gently tried the sweat of the second aunt again. Su Pan'er also sat on the edge of the bed, her brows furrowed, and she touched her second aunt's hand, which was extremely cold. His brow suddenly furrowed even tighter.
It doesn't make sense, the second aunt's physical condition is obviously not so bad. She was taking the medicine prescribed by Dr. Jin for a while, and she didn't worry about the affairs in the house, and she also had the leisure to direct the treasure hunt activity, how could she suddenly get sick? Could it be that the treasure matter has cost her too much attention? It doesn't make sense, I saw that she was still full of energy yesterday, how could she suddenly get sick? ……
Frowning and thinking, he turned his eyes to the dressing table not far away. I was shocked, how could that box be here?!
She opened her eyes wide again and looked at the box on the dressing table, yes, the pattern, the half-old material, and most importantly, the keyhole of the black hole, were exactly the same as the box her mother had left her! In a panic, he got up and walked to the dressing table, picked up the box and looked at it again, put his finger into the keyhole like last time, and let it burst like last time, and sucked the blood on his finger, and the whole keyhole began to change again. Sure enough, it's her box! She didn't throw it at the bottom of the cupboard, how could she be here?
"Yao'er, what's wrong?" The eldest lady saw that she was tinkering with something behind her back, and asked strangely.
After hiding the box, he turned around and smiled at the eldest lady, "It's nothing...... By the way, auntie, I suddenly remembered that I have something to do in a hurry, go and go back! After speaking, without waiting for the eldest lady to reply, she hurriedly ran back to her yard with the box in her hand.
He returned to the room in a hurry, closed the door, and blocked the maids from the door. Then I opened the cabinet and rummaged through it, and sure enough, the place where the box had been placed was empty. I went out again and asked Zhuyu who ran back with her, if anyone had ever come to her room after she went out today, Zhuyu shook her head very firmly, saying that she had been in the yard all morning and had not seen anyone coming. Then he looked at Su Pan'er with a strange expression.
After getting the answer, Su Paner sent Zhuyu away again, and went straight back to the room to face the box in a daze.
Since no one has ever been in her room, and the second aunt locked herself in the room all morning, this box was definitely not taken away from her room by the second aunt. And the second aunt has already given her the box, how can she take it back for no reason? Could it be the nameless person who has been running to her room to let her open the box for the past two nights? Because she has been reluctant to open the box, she took the box to find her second aunt? And the second aunt was coerced or threatened by the nameless, or fed her with some poison, which caused her to look like she is still alive?
Or is there a new no-brainer who knows about the existence of the box and is eager to unlock the secret of the box before going to find the second aunt? …… The head is in a mess, damn it, why is it so complicated?
Irritability hit the box with his head, calmed down a little, and stared at the box in front of him, it seemed that it was urgent to unlock the secret of this box......
Thinking of the parchment she saw in a hurry last time, Su Paner took out the silver hairpin, put it on the keyhole, and turned it slightly, and the box bounced automatically like last time. My heart beat faster, and I opened the lid a little nervously, and sure enough, I saw the stack of parchment again. He gently took out the stack of parchment, and there was a jade plaque and a yellowed letter underneath.
When he took out all the contents and laid them on the table, there were sixteen sheets of parchment, each with a pattern, but with a different pattern. Su Pan'er couldn't understand what it was used for a while, so she put it away and put it aside. I opened the letter signed by Yao'er first.
I saw that only a few words were written on the letter, and the handwriting was beautiful, which should have been written by Bao Yueyao's mother, Qin.
The letter reads as follows-
Yue Yao Wu'er:
For the ups and downs of my mother's life, I am ashamed of you. Now that my mother's time is short, I hope to cherish myself. If you encounter the end of the road and endanger your life, you can hold a jade card and find a place to paint.
Seeing the jade plate mentioned in the letter, Su Paner hurriedly picked up the jade card, only to see that the jade card was a palm long, and there was a certain flower carved on the front. The lower right corner of the back is carved with the word Nan Yao, and the handwriting is strong and powerful.
The jade plate is not only moist in the hand, but also exudes a cool atmosphere, which should be a high-quality product. It seems that there are really treasures from the previous dynasty hidden in this mansion, but where is the place on the painting mentioned by the Qin family in the letter? She didn't see any paintings. Strangely, I searched the empty box again, and there was really nothing left.
Puzzled, he took the stack of parchment, could it be that the painting Qin said meant the painting on the parchment?
Hurriedly put down the jade plaque, unfolded sixteen pieces of parchment, and placed them on the table.
Looking at the curved or straight, more or less straight lines on each piece of parchment, Su Pan'er's head suddenly grew again.
Oh yes! I still have to play puzzles! I don't know if the old lady has the least patience to play puzzles?!
In the middle of the anxiety, there was a sudden knock on the door, followed by Zhuyu's voice, saying that Dr. Jin had finished the consultation, and the aunt asked her to hurry up.
Hurriedly stuffed the parchment, jade plate and letter back into the box, and now this box can only be opened by her, which should be the safest. I closed the box again, and I wanted to stuff it back into the cabinet, but I thought that every time someone easily turned it out, I hid it in a different place.
After searching in the room for a long time, I finally stuffed it under the bed. After hiding, Su Paner straightened her clothes, opened the door and rushed to Yanran Pavilion with Zhuyu again.
This time, Dr. Jin was already sitting at the table and prescribing medicine. The eldest lady stood aside and waited anxiously.
Hurriedly stepped forward to inquire about the situation of the second aunt, Dr. Jin touched his beard, shook his head, and then sighed, the second aunt's condition suddenly deteriorated, and the previous prescription no longer worked. Now it is necessary to have a Tianshan Snow Lotus to continue its life. But the Tianshan Snow Lotus is extremely rare, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to find. But without this medicine, the second aunt can only support it for a month at most.
Su Paner hurriedly asked, is there a Tianshan Snow Lotus in Chaoyang City now? Dr. Kim shook his head and said he didn't know. The eldest lady was immediately anxious.
I was about to pester Dr. Kim and ask if there was any other way. There was a voice outside the door, "I know where there is a Tianshan Snow Lotus!" ——”
Turning his head, he saw that the third aunt rushed back, and just happened to enter the door and heard their conversation, the third aunt immediately muttered loudly.
"Last year, because of Master Zhou's illness, the Zhou Mansion searched everywhere for a Tianshan Snow Lotus, but because Master Zhou was reluctant to use it, it has been stored in the Zhou Mansion Treasury. It should still be in the Zhou Mansion now, and I will immediately go to the Zhou Mansion to ask for the Tianshan Snow Lotus. The third aunt then said her plan.
"Don't forget that we still owe 100,000 taels to the Zhou Mansion and have not paid it back, and now we are taking the liberty of coming to the door to ask for the Tianshan Snow Lotus, how can they give it?" Su Paner said worriedly.
"What Yao'er said is that Mrs. Tuesday blamed the death of Master Zhou's father and son on Bao Fu's head, how could she easily give us Snow Lotus?" The eldest lady also voiced her worries.
"We bought it from them at the price, so why shouldn't they sell it? Besides, one yard is one yard, and one hundred thousand taels is still 13 days before it expires, so they have no reason to use this as a threat. The third aunt pursed her lips.
Seeing that the third aunt was so confident, Su Paner no longer persuaded her, since this is the case, the matter of going to Zhou's Mansion to buy Tianshan Snow Lotus will be handed over to the third aunt, and she will save herself from going to the door to bring humiliation on herself. Then he turned around and asked, "How many silver taels does it cost to buy this Tianshan Snow Lotus?" ”
"More than 30,000 taels, maybe Mrs. Tuesday will raise the price, it is always not wrong to bring more silver taels." The third aunt replied directly.
When Su Pan'er heard this, her feet slipped and she almost fell. It actually costs more than 30,000 taels!! has to guard against Mrs. Tuesday's price increase, so won't the 50,000 taels she just made up be all gone?!
OMG, kill her......
"Then take fifty thousand taels with you, just in case." The eldest lady replied briskly, as if she didn't expect that the 50,000 taels were already all the property of their mansion. This move, that is, to bankrupt the family......
Su Paner saw that the eldest aunt and the third aunt were going to take out all their family funds without thinking twice in order to save the second aunt, wouldn't it seem that she was not human if she cared about it at this time? It's not that she doesn't want to save her second aunt, but she is also very reluctant to save the silver...... Never mind! This is related to the life of the second aunt!
With a twist on his heart, he tearfully asked Zhuyu to find the whole housekeeper and asked him to come with 50,000 taels.
Then the third aunt made a condition, she asked the third aunt to bring 50,000 taels to the last house to ask for snow lotus, and the only requirement was to let the third aunt bring the whole housekeeper, and the money was also handed over to the whole housekeeper for safekeeping. After all, the whole housekeeper is more secure, and he can still negotiate the price with Mrs. Tuesday, if the third aunt is put aside, she will definitely agree no matter how Mrs. Tuesday asks for the price, she will agree and don't care.
Don't forget, Baofu is still in negative equity...... TAT
The third aunt was full of promises, and the whole housekeeper set off immediately as soon as she came. The eldest lady went to grab the medicine with Dr. Jin.
Su Pan'er hurriedly returned to the room, found Zhuyu, and asked her to open the box of Yinliang to see how much change she still had. Zhuyu said that the key to the silver was on Xianglian. Su Paner realized that she seemed to have seen Xianglian since she came back, where did this girl go?
As she spoke, Xianglian appeared, according to what she said, she was helping her aunt go out on errands, and she just came back not long ago. Su Pan'er didn't ask anymore, and hurriedly let her open the silver box.
After rummaging through it, there were only a few pieces of silver, at most ten taels.
Grabbing the silver in her hand, Su Paner pursed her lips.
Now, she can only let it go!
Turn around and put the silver in your purse and go to the White Sunstar.
She's going to try her luck at the gambling house tonight!
