Section 418 Deadlock
Time flies like a white horse, and it is early autumn in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Yun Luo took advantage of the good weather and was taking out a few pieces of blue lotus-colored cloth in the cage, preparing to cut two sets of autumn clothes for his father and Tang Shao, when he heard that Jiang Zhijuan came to ask for a meeting.
She immediately put down the scissors in her hand and motioned to Hongying to quickly invite someone in.
Jiang Zhixia, who was dressed in a bright yellow dress, walked in gracefully.
Today, she has a jasper hairpin on her head and a tourmaline jewel around her neck, which is more and more outstanding.
Yun Luo smiled and stopped her from saluting and invited her to sit down.
"Sister Xia, haven't seen you for a long time?" Since she and Zhu Gongzi met on the second day of the incident until today, they have not seen each other during this period.
"Big sister, sister is embarrassed, I don't have the face to bother you." Jiang Zhijuan's expression was full of anticipation, and the dullness of the past had all faded.
Yun Luo looked at her with an "oh", and his heart moved.
Jiang Zhijuan glanced at the red tassels and shallots waiting next to her.
Yun Luo raised his eyes, and the two of them quietly retreated.
Jiang Zhijuan said with peace of mind: "Big sister, last time my sister had to be told by my sister, and I paid attention to it for a long time after I went back. ”
Speaking of this, Jiang Zhijuan had a relieved expression on her face.
When Yun Luo heard this, he looked at her quietly without moving.
Jiang Zhijuan took out a yellowed envelope from her arms and handed it to her.
Yun Luo took it. The brow furrowed almost invisibly.
"What is this?" Yun Luo took the envelope and caught a glimpse of the five big characters "Li Jingzong's personal enlightenment" on the dragon flying and phoenix dance, because of the age, those inkblots were faintly withered.
Jiang Zhijuan explained: "Big sister, this is what I quietly took out from the secret compartment of my father's study, I have inquired, this thing was entrusted to my father by the old lady of the Yun family many years ago, this time the old lady passed away, I was detained by my mother in the room to copy the scriptures, and I happened to hear my parents mention how to deal with this thing when they were alone." Mother means to destroy it. But his father said that when the old lady handed it over to him. bluntly said that it was the handle of the old lady of the Yun family and the vixen outside, claiming that with such a thing, he was not afraid of divorce and abandonment of his wife and children. Father said that such a thing may be brought to you at a critical time...... Make some trades. Jiang Zhijuan said at the end and glanced at Yun Luo. Pondering the words. The pitch fades down.
Hear it here. Yun Luo discovered the mystery in her words.
Jiang Zhijuan's words undoubtedly show that this letter was the handle of the grandfather and grandmother that the old lady held.
What is it exactly?
What is written in the letter that will have such an effect?
Yun Luo suddenly came to her senses, before she opened the envelope and read the letter. He smiled and looked at the hibiscus face on the other side and said, "I don't know how this sister Xia can be sure that this letter is what the old lady gave to your father back then, could it be ...... Have you seen the contents? ”
Yun Luo glanced at the intact seal, the cinnabar-colored mark on it had solidified and dried up to be mottled.
On the surface, this letter should have never been opened, but it is not excluded that some masters can choose some special means to open the envelope and then seal it as it is, and the seal can be made exactly the same as the original, without the slightest flaw.
Jiang Zhijuan was frightened by the glance that swept over, and she waved her watch again and again and said loyally: "Big sister, how could my sister open the letter and read it?" You see, the seal on this envelope is still intact. The reason why I am sure that this letter is the same thing back then is because when I listened to my parents' conversation, my father mentioned that the letter was stored in the secret compartment of the study, and when I sneaked into the study, there was only this one thing in the secret compartment and nothing else, so I was sure that it was it and took it out. ”
She was afraid that Yunluo would not believe it, and her tone was so anxious that she wanted to swear an oath.
Yun Luo stared at her for a while, her eyes seemed to penetrate her, and after a while, she pulled her down and sat back in place with a smile, revealing a smile, and said angrily: "Why is Sister Xia so outside, I just ask one more question, there is no side meaning, you don't have to be restrained." I naturally believe in you. As he spoke, he pulled her to taste the snacks on the table, "This is the jade fruit made by the people in my house, it is very refreshing, I love to eat it myself, you can also taste it, how about it taste?" ”
Jiang Zhijuan breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and picked up the jade jelly fruit in the dishes on the table, put it in her mouth and tasted it carefully.
Yun Luo put away the old letter signed "Li Jingzong Jingqi" closely, and asked her with a smile how it tasted.
Jiang Zhijuan nodded again and again, praising the deliciousness.
Then, Yun Luo asked Zhu Maofang: "...... I heard that Zhu Gongzi has been back in Beijing for more than 20 days, so I guess I should be home, right? Don't know if there's any news with you? ”
The matter of Jiang Zhijuan and Zhu Maofang began on the night of the lotus appreciation in the Jiang Mansion in the summer, and dragged on until he left and returned to Kyoto, without a conclusion.
At the beginning, Jiang Litong and his wife jumped around, asking Mrs. Xu to ask Yunluo to come forward and talk about the marriage.
Later, because the Jiang family's greed for ink to marry the second wife of the Yun family broke out after the debts of the second room of the Yun family, and the marriage was interrupted, the Jiang family got Yun Luo's guidance, and it took a lot of money to quell the rumors.
In this way, Zhu Maofang could only leave for Beijing immediately and report before the deadline for the officials.
When he went to Jiang's mansion to resign, he told Jiang Zhijuan that he had told his parents and elders about the matter of Xinyang, and then because the letter of consent from the elders in the family had not yet reached him, and he wanted to return to Beijing immediately, in order to settle the heart of the Jiang family, he deliberately left his personal jade pendant and his name card to Jiang Zhijuan, in order to show his determination to marry Jiang Zhijuan.
Now, what can Jiang Litong do?
Could it be that they could still tie Zhu Maofang and not leave?
I could only take Yu Pei and let him leave.
However, this Zhu Maofang acted quite methodically, when he left, in addition to leaving a personal jade pendant as a token, he also left an old family member who followed him to travel to Jiangnan and serve him in Xinyang, saying that he received the letter from the Zhu family's elders who agreed to the marriage, and stayed to handle Xiaoding and other matters.
Such a move greatly comforted the hearts of Jiang Litong and others, they saw Zhu Maofang's sincerity, and felt that the family had always acted in moderation, even if Zhu Maofang wanted to admit it, but with Yu Pei and his old family as proof, they would have to find the capital, could it be that they were afraid that he would not admit it?
In the end, Xu Zhixian came forward as a guarantee, and Jiang Fu would not say anything.
I sent Zhu Maofang away with confidence. (To be continued......)
