The atmosphere in the room reached a peak after Father Liu opened the door and came in, even Qin Xuechu, who originally wanted to leave, was forced to stay for a meal, and the final result was that several people ate happily and drank some wine. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Among them, the happiest is naturally the second elder of the Liu family, the only son of the thirty-year-old is finally married, and then everything will fall into place, they no longer have to envy the neighbor next door who has added a grandson, and they don't have to envy the old sisters who have been busy for many years and suddenly have no time to dance the square dance, this moment is really happy for the guests and hosts.

In the Chinese tradition, this kind of happiness is to be shared with others, preferably outsiders, so unfortunately Qin Xuechu, who took the initiative to come to the door, became such a confidant, and she had to deal with it, but her eyes would be scattered from time to time, and the box that Su Wei put on the coffee table was the main target.

"Ahem, look at my brain, I forgot that Mr. Qin is an expert in cultural relics, Yuzi, you bring the box and show it to Mr. Qin, maybe you can still recognize which dynasty it is." Liu's father, who had been in the groove for a long time, finally noticed her eyes and supported his son without care.

"You're high, I'm just an archaeologist, not an expert." Qin Xuechu waved his hand humbly, but did not refuse the other party's request.

"The professor of Imperial University, that is the expert." Father Liu waved his hand very imposingly and ended the topic, and at this time, Liu Yu also handed the box to her, he was also very curious, this thing was his mother's favorite in his impression, and he never showed it easily, let alone knew the origin or something.

Qin Xuechu took it carefully, and did not rush to open the box, but raised it just to level his eyes, carefully observed the appearance, texture, and texture of the box, and looked at it for a while before putting it on his knees together, and gently pressed the spring below, making a "click", and the lid popped up.

In the box is a piece of red flannel, the jade pendant is lying quietly in it, under the white light, exuding a shining light, she took out a magnifying glass from the bag she brought, lowered her head to bring the mirror closer, the lines on the jade pendant are clearly displayed, after looking at the front, turn it over again, take a longer time to see the other side, and finally hold it out with both hands, feel the warmth from above.

"Yours have been this thing for some years, right?" Qin Xuechu put the jade pendant on the flannel cloth and asked.

"Well, I saw it for the first time when I was a child at my grandmother, who was Yuzi's grandmother, when she gave this box to my mother, and then she died, when it was just liberated. Later, the four old ones were broken, and the things in the house were searched, only this box has been preserved, my mother is his grandmother's mother who gave Yuzi, it will be thirty years ago, and now it is given to Yuzi's daughter-in-law, this is four generations. Father Liu touched his head and recalled.

"Before? Didn't the elders tell where it came from? ”

Qin Xuechu's words made him stunned, he was just trying to find a conversation, and he didn't think that thing was so precious in his heart, who didn't have a family heirloom or anything like that back then, when his daughter-in-law was Liu's mother took it, she joked that it was plastic, but it was just a little hard, and now when I heard the other party say this, I really couldn't remember what it was like before for a while, but Liu's mother came over and took over the conversation.

"When her grandmother handed it over to me, she only said that it was an old object, and the Liu family had passed it down from generation to generation, and it had not been lost for many generations, and she also told a story, saying that it was the former Qing Dynasty, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was troubled. After this place was occupied by the Taiping army, the Liu family of that generation was a single passon, and the family originally had some foundation, in order to flee to the countryside, buried the box under the old house, and was identified by others, so that the Taiping army was arrested as an inferior gentry, and when he was about to kill his head, a female general of the Taiping army surnamed Lu saved him. ”

While telling the story, he poured them hot tea, this story is very interesting, even Su Wei was unconsciously attracted to it, Liu Yu heard this story for the first time, and it was also the first time he heard his parents talk about his ancestors, he always thought that his family moved from outside, and he had not been in this city for a few years.

“...... At that time, the elders of the Liu family went out of the city after being released, and they were still hiding in the old house in the countryside, oh, it has now become a development zone, and when I was a little more than eight years old, my father and I just got married, and I went to worship my ancestors once, and then they all moved and the house was demolished. Liu's mother made a mistake, and then continued to tell the story.

Later, the Qing army fought back, and the fight in this area was fierce, and the people in the city died and wounded, and finally ...... There were not a few living people left, the elders of the Liu family waited until the gunfire stopped, and the Qing army issued a notice to settle the people, before they dared to return to the city, the streets were full of dead people, and the blood flowed so that the moat was dyed red, and he found the big house in the city all the way, which was requisitioned to be a government agency in front of him, and later sold as a construction site. ”

"The result?" Just as she heard the highlights, seeing that she was diverging again, Liu Yu couldn't help but interrupt her mother's divergent thinking, otherwise she didn't know where she would go.

"What's the hurry?" Mother Liu glanced at him with disgust, and then said: "That house was requisitioned by the Taiping Army at that time, saying that it was the headquarters of some big official, when he went in, he saw the same as outside, there were dead people everywhere, he found the former helper, and it took a whole day to clean up the inside. That night, he slept in his former room, because he was too tired and soon fell asleep, in the middle of the night, he was suddenly woken up by a sound, he began to think it was a mouse, and got up to light the lamp to see that there was nothing, and the sound seemed to come from the wall. ”

Mother Liu said it vividly, Su Wei was a little nervous in her heart, and unconsciously shrank into Liu Yu's arms, Mother Liu's eyes swept over the two of them, revealing an imperceptible smile, but her mouth did not stop.

"There was nothing unusual about that wall, but when he thought that this place had been occupied by the Taiping army for a long time, he was moved, walked over with an oil lamp, and knocked on the wall. He panicked at that time, and was about to go out to call someone, but as soon as he turned around, he heard a "squeak" sound, and a door cracked in the wall, and a figure flashed out from inside, holding his neck and showing a knife. ”

Of course, there is nothing surprising in the result, there are more than a dozen female soldiers of the Taiping Army hidden in the wall, including the wounded, led by the female general surnamed Lu who saved the elders of the Liu family, in order to repay her kindness, the Liu family risked death to cover these female soldiers, and used money to help them settle in the local area, and survived incognito, then he and the female general surnamed Lu finally became a relationship and became a legend of the family.

"That should be your grandmother's grandmother, I remember that there was an old photo before, and then she moved, I don't know where it fell, she lived for more than ninety years to die on the eve of the Anti-Japanese War, the most common sentence is that this jade pendant made them tie the knot, and there is divine power on it."

Mother Liu ended the story, looked at her next generation, and said with hope: "It is said that the older generation is superstitious, and some things are really not clear, do you know, all the daughters-in-law of the Liu family who took this jade pendant have never had an unhappy marriage, or something else, I hope that when it comes to your generation, it will be the same, cherish the people in front of you and live a good life." ”

It was only at this time that Su Wei found herself being held tightly by Liu Yu, her hands clasped together, she was a little embarrassed and wanted to break away, but was stopped by the other party's eyes, and could only nod together with Liu Yu's movements. Qin Xue waited for her to finish speaking, her eyes stayed on the jade pendant for a while, and she didn't know what she remembered.

"The story of the eldest sister is very exciting, our city, except for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom this time, has experienced many wars and even massacres in history, this thing, maybe has witnessed everything, as the eldest sister said, there is some kind of power in it, but it is not necessarily superstition."

She smiled: "First of all, it is not ordinary jade, to be precise, it should be called jadeite, mainly produced in Myanmar, and was brought into the court as a tribute very early. As for how long its history has been and when it entered China, it is difficult to say, but one thing is clear, this thing comes from the court, and can be traced back to the Song Dynasty at the earliest, about a thousand years ago. ”

"Song Dynasty...... A thousand years? At this moment, even Liu's father's wine woke up, he couldn't believe it, but the other party's words were conclusive, and he was an expert in his mouth, so he couldn't help but glance at Liu's mother, this object is really a little old.

"Not only the Song Dynasty, but also from the court, mainly from the shape of the utensils, carving, materials, these to judge, my lover is an expert in this area, if you are interested, you can let him do an appraisal, better than me, a half-hung expert."

After speaking, she closed the box and held it to Su Wei, who was sitting aside, who hurriedly hugged it, for fear that something would go wrong, and it was not only an antiquity that was at stake, but also her own happiness.

"By the way, I haven't congratulated you yet, a hundred years of good together, and an early birth of a noble son."

Probably because of the position, she stretched out her left hand, Su Wei's hand was not empty among the two, Liu Yu could only let go of her, also stretched out her left hand, shook it with Qin Xuechu, and thanked the other party for the blessing by the way, but at this moment, the other party's eyes suddenly condensed.

Qin Xuechu never thought that she would see that thing on his wrist, she almost wanted to take it down and take a clear look, but she still tried to suppress that impulse, because how deep the water was here, she didn't dare to think about it at all, and when the two of them let go, the smile on her face had become very reluctant.

Could it be that he was dazzled, or that things were similar, but that kind of strange brilliance was impossible to imitate, and for a while, Qin Xuechu's heart was very entangled.
