Cheng Huaijin sat up from the bed sweating profusely, and took several deep breaths to suppress the panic in his heart.

He looked out the window, a bright moon was shining, and the dry branches were sticking out of the window, and the shadows reflected seemed to be ghost hands, which made people feel chills.

In addition, it was about the middle of the night, the charcoal fire in the stove had already been extinguished, and the room was cold for no reason, Cheng Huaijin felt more and more cold outside and hot inside, and there was always a feeling of weakness in his body.

I got up and poured several mouthfuls of water, wanting to sleep again, but I couldn't sleep anymore.

Helpless, Cheng Huaijin had to sit up and write a few strokes in his clothes, but in the end his heart was not quiet, and the writing was crooked, which was very ugly.

He simply threw down the pen, changed into a neat black dress and pushed the door out, and there was no one in a few vertical jumps.

After less than a quarter of an hour, Cheng Huaijin appeared outside Ji Songxian's boudoir of the Ji family, he stood under the eaves for a long time, thinking that it was Ji Songxian who slept through a wall, and his heart was also a lot more stable, and he stood until it was almost dawn, and Cheng Huaijin left.

Chengguo Mansion

Cheng Guogong's face has been bad since he went out and came back, until noon the next day, he went to the old Chengguo public house, and when he entered the door, he said: "Since that child doesn't know how to lift, and he wasn't raised by us, and he is not close to us, his father still asked him to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors." ”

Speaking of this, Cheng Guogong lowered his face: "If he comes back, what will he do if he is safe?" He is an upright son-in-law, but Ping An is his stepson, and in the future, whether it is family wealth or title, will it be his? Peace can leave nothing behind. ”

"Nonsense." Cheng Lao Guogong was a little angry: "Don't say anything about him, how can the bloodline of our old Cheng family say that you don't want it." No matter how good the peace is, it can only be a stepson, how can it be compared with Huai Jin. ”

"Father." Cheng Guogong disagreed.

As soon as the old Chengguo Gong raised his hand, he asked the rest of the people to go down, leaving only Cheng Guogong alone, and called to the front and said carefully: "The original Feng family gave Ping'an a set of drawings before leaving, which is actually a treasure map left by our ancestors." ”

Speaking of this, Cheng Lao Guogong lowered his voice again: "You probably don't know the origin of our family, our family was prominent in the previous dynasty, and our ancestors followed the founding monarch to conquer the world in the previous dynasty. How many good things to go. When the country was established, the ancestors were afraid that their children and grandchildren would not have a step of regression in the future, so they divided the wealth they obtained into two and left half to their children and grandchildren. Half of the special ones were hidden. I drew the drawings again. In the future, when the children and grandchildren are down, they can be used to start the family business again. ”

"Could it be that the family of the wealthy side in the previous dynasty is actually in the same vein as us?"

Cheng Guogong was shocked and hurriedly asked.

Old Chengguo nodded: "This is the secret of the ancestors." I'm just going to talk to you alone. ”

Cheng Guogong nodded solemnly: "Father, don't worry, I won't tell others again." ”

"When the ancestor hid the treasure, he invited a warlock, and the warlock set up a secret method, except for the bloodline of the family and relatives, no one can open the treasure, and the bloodline of the relatives is also different, it must be a success in the heart, and there is a great ability to do it, and the ancestors are also afraid that the descendants of Yonglu will not only not be able to enter the body if they get the treasure, but will attract disasters, but it is better to be content with poverty."

Lao Chengguo said for a while and said: "Think about how many treasures the ancestors hid at the beginning, if we get it, we won't have to worry about getting married and not prospering." ”

"Then hurry up and call Ping'an to fetch it." Cheng Guogong was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately urged.

Lao Chengguo lowered his face: "Nonsense again, where is Ping'an's bloodline, how do you tell him to get it?" ”

Cheng Guogong's enthusiasm seemed to be extinguished by cold water, he was speechless, although Cheng Ping'an was also his flesh and blood, but he was really not a concubine, speaking of which, he was not as good as a concubine, but he was an adulterous outer room, such a background, where can he open a treasure.

"That's why I have to recognize Huai Jin wholeheartedly, that child is our family's bloodline, and he is a capable person, I can't say it, the prosperity of the family depends on him, compared to the future of the family, what is your children's affection." Old Cheng Guogong sighed, and admonished Cheng Guogong seriously: "Besides, I look at it coldly, your daughter-in-law is becoming more and more dislike now, relying on peace is the only blood and blood in our family, and she is becoming more and more ostentatious, if there is no alert, I am afraid that she will cause trouble." ”

The more Cheng Guogong thought about it, the more he felt that what the old Cheng Guogong said was reasonable, and the Zhou family was indeed as prosperous as the old Cheng Guogong said, not only relying on Cheng Ping'an to come out and not put others in his eyes, but also to control him very strictly.

Lao Chengguo waved his hand when he saw that he was almost done: "You go and think about it, how important is the prosperity of the family and your little selfishness." ”

Cheng Guogong was speechless and resigned for half a day.

Not to mention what Cheng Guogong thinks, just say that Ji Songxian woke up this day and only felt that there was something different, but he couldn't say it.

When I got out of the house after washing, I didn't want to pick up a bead under the porch.

She knew the beads, but she once gave Cheng Huaijin to make some fine beads on the purse, although it was a fine bead, but the color of the beads was extremely positive, and it was pure black, and she couldn't get it, she was also lucky for a while, and somehow got some, remembering that Cheng Huaijin liked black and calm and solemn in the day, so he strung beads and embroidered a very elegant pattern for him when he was making a purse.

I don't want to pick one up under the porch today, Ji Songxian pinched the beads and was stunned for a while, she thought about it for a while and understood why, thinking of Cheng Huaijin standing outside her window on such a cold night, there was a feeling of wind and dew at night, and that infatuation made her think about it for a while.

This son came around Liang Xing's head and said with a smile: "The girl quickly cleaned up, the decree was just passed in the palace, and the queen asked the girl to enter the palace to see the driver." ”

Ji Songxian came back to his senses at this time, hurriedly put the beads into the purse he was wearing, and asked Huan Liang with a smile: "When will the queen pass on the decree?" Why do you call me? ”

"The slave is the person on which nameplate, and how do you know what the queen means." Huan Liang smiled and answered: "Girl, hurry up and clean up." ”

Ji Songxian had no choice, so he had to go back to the house and change into bright clothes, comb his hair again, wear a golden phoenix with hanging beads, and two small hairpins to press sideburns, after wearing a new one, Ji Songxian went to the front to meet the eunuch who came to summon him, and said that he would go to the palace in a sedan chair.

She thought about it many times along the way, and she couldn't guess what the queen told her to do.

Ji Songxian and the queen are not familiar with each other, but they have seen it briefly once when they have to be named the county lord, but they don't take a closer look, they only remember that the queen is extremely dignified and generous, and her eyebrows and eyes are also good-looking, and she can't remember anything else.

She guessed, waited until she entered Kunning Palace, met the queen, and saw the queen personally help her up: "Hurry up, since you canonized me to see you on that day, I haven't seen you for so long, first, it is inconvenient for me to go out of the palace, and second, the queen mother has been sick, and I am busy preparing for the marriage of Princess Jinyang, and I have no time to announce your entry into the palace." ”

"How much do you do in a day, and where do you have time to see us." Ji Songxian responded with a smile.

The queen also smiled: "Only now that Princess Jinyang is married, I think you will marry in a few days, you are the county lord canonized by His Majesty, and you are a serious royal sister, I can't be a sister-in-law, even if I give Jinyang a dowry, how can I not have you, no, I specially called you in to let you in is to let you take a look at this dowry list, in addition to those examples, I also added some with you, you look at it, if there are any unsuitable, or Ji Xiang prepared a heavy one for you and say it, Mo Sheng's share is good." ”

The queen's words were crisp, with a smile in her words, and she was extremely amiable, Ji Songxian also relaxed for a while, and said with a smile: "The queen's sister-in-law remembers me, that's my honor, where can I pick and choose, but I am frivolous." ”

"What is frivolous and not frivolous." The queen had a little joy in her eyes, and said with a smile: "It turns out that your young girl's family should be more lively, and if you have anything to say, you don't have to hide it." ”

said for a while that the queen really forced the dowry list to Ji Songxian and asked her to take a look.

Ji Songxian didn't expect the queen to act like this, and thought of where there was a girl's family to look at her dowry list like this, as if she couldn't wait to get married immediately, her face was red with shame for a while, and she hung her head in shame for a while.

It's just that the queen insisted on urging her, but Ji Songxian could only cheer up and see.

After looking at it for a while, Ji Songxian got up and bowed: "There is sister-in-law Lao to worry about, this dowry is excellent, and there is no change." ”

When the queen heard this, she couldn't help but rejoice: "It's hard for you to be like this, that's it, I'll do it accordingly." ”

While speaking, the queen made an excuse to spend the people who were waiting, and there were only two people left in the house, so she pulled Ji Songxian to sit down and whispered: "Speaking of which, although your dowry is not as good as that of Princess Jinyang, it is more generous than that of Princess Gaoyang, all because Your Majesty has seen Mrs. Li, and I have heard that your mother has rescued Mrs. Li. ”

Ji Songxian, who was panicked, hurriedly got up and worshipped: "My mother deserves it, where can she afford it." ”

"To say you deserve it is to deserve it." The queen smiled and pulled Ji Songxian to sit down: "What is the identity of Mrs. Li, that is Your Majesty's biological mother, your family has such a great kindness to her, that is, you are kind to Your Majesty, how can Your Majesty forget, only now Mrs. Li's identity cannot be explained, she can only be wronged, and your mother has been wronged, and when Your Majesty recognizes her mother in a dignified manner in the future, she will definitely thank your mother." ”

"Deserved, deserved." Ji Songxian hurriedly refused: "My mother never thought of anything to repay, but when she saw that Mrs. Li was really pitiful, she came to the rescue, and she also wanted to save people's lives and accumulate some merit, so she ...... wherever she was."

"Even so, it did save Mrs. Li." The queen spoke, and her face was a little solemn: "Now that I know Your Majesty and her husband and wife, Mrs. Li is Your Majesty's mother and my mother, and I only think about the good of your family." ”

Ji Songxian saw that she was straightforward, and knew that what she said was sincere, so he didn't shirk anymore, but sat down and gossiped with the queen for a while, and the queen asked her what she was doing at home, and finally said: "Why hasn't your book published a new story yet?" I can't wait. (To be continued......)
