Chapter 509, Strange Past
Ming Che took out a small black wooden box, no carving, no lacquer, no inlay, and its appearance was extremely inconspicuous and ordinary. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"This is an important thing that I keep, and I handed it over to two henchmen to take away before the accident, and told them that they must keep these things, and that they cannot be handed over to anyone unless I come forward or someone comes forward with my token.
I also told him not to show up no matter what happened to me, and if I was safe, I would find them to get things back.
The third son of the Xie family, you are the most likely to be safe and sound, if I give my life and you are safe, I will send these to you. As for the Ming and Qing dynasties, he was desperate to be a lackey for Jiancheng, and if I couldn't survive, his fate would be even worse.
If something happens to you, let them secretly protect Jinshu and grow up safely, and when she gets married, she will quietly hand it over to her as a dowry.
In fact, I arranged all the things in the Zhuangzi, and left a large amount of silver for Lao Xia to hide for emergency use, plus the annual interest, even if the three of us brothers are gone, it is enough to ensure that the old lady and the children have no worries about food and clothing.
The old lady is shrewd and capable, she will definitely keep this family business, take care of the children, with her temperament, although she will not really love Jinshu, but she will also raise her with her heart, and I have nothing to worry about.
And Jin Shu has this property as a dowry, so she doesn't have to worry about money for the rest of her life.
I arranged everything, but I didn't expect that the emperor would punish the women and children of the Xie family together, fortunately, there is Changsheng who will not abandon Jinshu, so it did not cause greater regrets, otherwise I will never die with the emperor in this life, as long as I live for a day, he will not be at peace for a day. ”
He opened the box, and inside was a thick pile of silver tickets and house deeds, which should be the dowry left for Jinshu, and opened the mezzanine, and suddenly there was brilliance flowing out.
"These are the relics of your sister-in-law, and they will be handed over to Shu'er in the future."
Then he took out the things inside, a few delicate little combs, jasper, tortoiseshell, ivory, and a small bronze mirror with a handle, the inlaid jade is very luxurious, it should be the sister-in-law's usual use, Mingjing thought of the small bronze mirror he gave to Changsheng, and his heart warmed.
There are also some expensive jewelry, a pair of husband and wife rings inlaid with rubies, a pair of delicate and crystal clear and warm mutton fat jade bracelets and earrings, a pair of jade hairpins, a silk gorse hairpin inlaid with red and green rubies, and three thin bundles of red, green and yellow three-color gemstone tassels hanging down from the bird's mouth, which are very delicate and gorgeous, and should be made inside.
The most precious may be the golden hairpin, a very simple style, the hairpin head is only inlaid with a very rare pink pearl, the size of a dragon's eye, the brilliance flows, the pastel is full, and it is very expensive and rare at a glance.
Mingjing knows that these are the sister-in-law's favorite jewelry.
The gorse hairpin was rewarded by the palace, and because it was too luxurious and dazzling, she only wore it during the New Year's holidays or when she saw guests, and the rest were all from the eldest brother from everywhere, and they were all jewelry that she often wore.
For this reason, I don't know how much jealousy Lin Xinhui has attracted for this, although she has a rich dowry and is not short of any good things, the Ming and Qing dynasties have never used any thoughts on her.
Mingche stroked carefully, his eyes were full of warmth: "This pair of rings was specially made by your sister-in-law for the two of us, saying that it symbolizes the unwavering love of husband and wife for a lifetime, and the rest are your sister-in-law's favorite jewelry during her lifetime.
It's inconvenient for me to keep it anymore, so I'll hand it over to you and Changsheng, and you will keep it for Shu'er, if there is something Changsheng likes in it, give it to her, I think your sister-in-law must be very happy that Changsheng uses her things. ”
Mingjing nodded, Changsheng must be very excited and sad to see these things, I hope she can figure it out one day and tell her all the truth.
Mingche took out all the jewelry and uncovered the red silk at the bottom, with an envelope underneath.
He took out the envelope and took out a few pieces of stationery from it: "This is not long after Shu'er was born, I went back to visit relatives, and one day I went to visit friends, because I was worried about your sister-in-law and Shu'er, so I came back early."
The child is small and fastidious, and when he comes back from outside, he is worried that he will frighten the child by bringing back unclean things, so he must step over the brazier before entering the house. Therefore, although it was a hot day at that time, there was always a brazier in a corner of Xinyi Temple, and whoever came in had to cross the brazier.
I entered the courtyard, and saw a little girl who had just left her head walking to the brazier with a few folded pieces of letterhead, with handwriting on them, and seemed to be about to burn them, and when she saw me, she quickly stopped and saluted.
I casually asked her what she was burning, and she said that her grandmother asked her to burn it, but she didn't know what it was, and asked her not to tell others.
I was a little strange, so I came over and put it in my arms, warning her not to tell others, if the young grandmother asked and said that it had been burned, the girls in the family were very afraid of me, of course she didn't dare not listen.
Worried that your sister-in-law was suspicious, I rubbed for a while when I crossed the brazier before entering the house, but found her sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at the sleeping Shu'er's face with tears not dry, and there were pen and ink on the table, and she looked a little flustered when she saw me coming in.
I pretended not to know, "What are you writing about?" Is it idle to practice calligraphy? You haven't been out of confinement yet, don't fall ill, I'm just worried that you're bored and come back so early, go to bed and lie down, I'll sit here and talk to you. ”
Your sister-in-law is a clever person, but she quickly covered up the past: "When I saw Shu'er, I remembered that I had no mother not long after I was born, so I felt sad. ”
I hadn't read the letter at the time, I thought it was true, and I felt pity in my heart, so I quickly persuaded her not to cry casually during confinement, and then Shu'er and I were her relatives, and her mood just got better, I accompanied them both for a while, and then went to the study to read the letter quietly. ”
Mingche paused for a moment, and looked strange: "The words on that letter are very strange, it seems to be different from the words we usually write, and they are basically similar, as if they have saved a lot of strokes, but they can be understood by most of them."
The strangest thing is the content of it, which I can't understand at all, but now I can be sure that the letter is definitely related to the younger siblings.
I used to be just a little suspicious, but since Shu'er told me that Changsheng wanted to give birth to a daughter and named the child Jinyuan, I was basically sure that this letter was written by your sister-in-law to Changsheng, and I think only Changsheng can really understand this letter.
Do you know why I am so loyal to King Qin? First, because of many years of love, I can't do anything to betray my brother, and second, it has something to do with your sister-in-law's letter.
She said many very strange things in her letter, as if she were some prophet and master who knew the future, and I did not understand what was going on, and I did not dare to tell anyone, and I was afraid that she would not dare to ask, and I had to pretend that she did not know, so that she thought that the letter had been burned.
She actually called the emperor Tang Taizong Li Shimin, you also know that the so-called Gaozu and Taizong can only be posthumously awarded the title after their deaths, and the emperor is now Emperor Zhenguan?
The weirdest thing is that at that time, she knew that the Xuanwumen Incident would happen, and knew that Jiancheng was killed by King Qin's arrow, and it was King Qin who won in the end, and she also said that she was not good at studying and didn't remember the specific time.
She also said that the emperor would go on a big campaign against Goguryeo in the future, but it was a losing battle, and she was very worried that I would be sent to fight Goguryeo, which would not only be dangerous, but also bear the name of the general of the defeated army for the rest of my life, and said that she would persuade me not to fight Goguryeo at that time.
He also said that the emperor will be unstable in his later years, and there will be constant disputes within the imperial family, and the successor is not the crown prince Chengqian, but the king of Jin, Li Zhi, and there will be a woman named Wu Meiniang who entered the palace to be a talented person, and later changed the dynasty to establish the Great Zhou Dynasty and became the empress, she hopes that I can leave Chang'an, stay away from the government, and take her and the children to garrison the northwest together, so as to keep a lifetime of peace.
This is really weird, I have also carefully investigated your sister-in-law's previous affairs, and everything is the same as ordinary people.
Only when she was fifteen or sixteen years old, she was pushed into the pond by Lin Xinhui, and after being rescued, she had a high fever and fell unconscious. Since then, her temperament has changed greatly, but she told people that her brain was a little confused, and she forgot some things, and said that she was a person who died once, and she was not afraid of anything in the future.
I can't figure out what's going on, and I don't dare to tell anyone, but I also believe that what your sister-in-law said is true, so that King Qin was still loyal to him when his defeat was almost in danger.
As you know, I never had the intention of betraying him. One is angry, he disregarded brotherhood and coerced me with his sister-in-law.
The second is to leave a way back for the Xie family just in case, although there is a letter from your sister-in-law, no one can be very sure what the result will be.
At that time, Emperor Taishang was already trying every means to crack down on the forces that had seized King Qin, and was ready to pass on the throne to Jiancheng in advance.
With the emperor's full suppression, the possibility of King Qin's turnaround is only thirty percent, and two of them are me and hundreds of thousands of Jinyang troops, I can't drag the Xie family down the abyss for the so-called meritorious service.
I haven't gotten the letter back before, and I haven't said it, the letter was brought back by Yan'er yesterday, you see, it's indeed written by your sister-in-law.
If you agree, show it to Changsheng, I think only she can really understand this letter, and we both want to know what the relationship between her and your sister-in-law is. ”
Mingjing took the letter with a suspicious face, looked at it a few times in a hurry, and was speechless in shock, and said after a while: "I have read some strange things in miscellaneous books before, saying that when someone was dying, his soul was possessed by a different spirit, and he came back from the dead to become a different person.
There are also people who say that there has been a two-year-old baby in a certain place when he was just able to speak, saying that he remembered his past life, where his home was, what relatives he had, and what happened to him.
Do you think the two of them will be in either case? As for why they know the future, we can only ask Changsheng.
Changsheng also knew that we were doubting her relationship with her sister-in-law, and she said that she would tell me sooner or later, but she didn't think about what to say, so let me wait.
Since there is this letter from my sister-in-law, it is likely that it was written to her, why don't we show her the letter and listen to what she has to say? (To be continued.) )
