Chapter 40: Handwriting
Ji Qing began to look through the old books he bought.
These books don't look abnormal, most of them are subsets of scriptures and meanings that readers often read, etc., and there are notes written by Lao Xiucai on many books, it can be seen that Lao Xiucai really cherishes these books.
It's a pity that such a book lover, after his death, his relics were exchanged for wine money by his son.
Of course, Ji Qing was only a little emotional, if it weren't for Lao Xiucai's son who took these books in exchange for money, she would not have been able to get these books smoothly.
Because he just flipped through it casually, Ji Qing quickly finished reading several books.
Then, as she flipped through one of them, her hand paused slightly.
There's something in this book.
Intuition told Ji Qing that this was the second letter she was looking for.
Sure enough, it was a letter sandwiched in this book, and like the first letter Ji Qing got, the cover of this letter was blank.
Ji Qing opened the envelope and took out the letterhead inside.
The first thing she notices is the color of the letterhead.
Nowadays, the paper used to write letters is generally pale yellow, but the paper of this letter is extremely pale cyan, which makes it possible to distinguish it from other papers just by looking at it.
Then, Ji Qing looked at the contents of the letter.
This look......
"Bang!"
Ji Qing stood up suddenly, and because he was in too much of a hurry, he brought the chair behind him with a loud noise.
Honeysuckle, who was waiting outside, heard the voice, and was also shocked in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "Master......"
Ji Qing, who was in shock, came back to her senses, she took a deep breath and calmed down: "It's okay." ”
After another while, Ji Qing slowly sat down.
Ji Qing has experienced major changes in the family ten years ago, and she is not a person who makes a fuss, the reason why she is so shocked is because......
The content of this letter is exactly the same as the letter Ji Qing got last time.
What's more, the handwriting of the letter, she recognized.
It was the handwriting of her grandfather, Ji Lian.
Although Ji Qing is a woman, the Ji family does not have the saying that "a woman is virtuous if she is not talented", so the women of the Ji family have also been reading and learning since she was a child.
Ji Qing is not only Ji Lian's eldest granddaughter, but also extremely smart since she was a child, but she has also been treated differently by Ji Lian, and she has been in and out of Ji Lian's study since she was a child, and she is extremely familiar with Ji Lian's handwriting.
She would never admit that the handwriting on the letter was indeed her grandfather's!
If she just saw this letter, Ji Qing would at most think that she had obtained her grandfather's old belongings, after all, the content of this letter looked extremely ordinary, but she had already received a letter with the exact same content before.
Letters with the same content but different handwriting.
And how did the grandfather's handwriting appear in the hands of an old Xiucai?
According to Lao Xiucai's son, Lao Xiucai suddenly fell ill and died ten years ago, did he really die of illness, or was there another reason?
What is the mystery hidden in this?
Ji Qing faintly felt that she seemed to have touched something extremely important.
And this ......
Does it have anything to do with Ji's grievances?
One doubt after another arose in Ji Qing's heart, but she couldn't get answered, which made her mind a mess.
After a long time, Ji Qing slowly let out a sigh.
She had already decided to think of a way to rehabilitate the Ji family, but now that she has found a suspicious point, it is naturally impossible to let it go, she wants to check what secrets are hidden in the two letters she got in her hand!
So, where do you start?
Ji Qing's gaze finally fell on the strange letter of the second letter.
Such a peculiar letter paper must not be found everywhere, and it will certainly not be cheap, and an old talent who supports his family by transcribing letters for others will definitely not buy such paper.
You might be able to find out what you can find out here......
Ji Qing lowered his eyes and pondered.
……
Because of those mysteries in his heart, Ji Qing didn't know how long he tossed and turned that night before he fell asleep in a daze.
If you don't sleep well at night, your spirit will not be too good on the second day.
Mama Yu saw the faint blue under Ji Qing's eyes, and said with some distress: "Didn't the girl rest last night?" Are you not used to it in a different place? ”
Ji Qing shook his head with a smile: "It's not that I'm not used to it, it's just that I thought about things late last night." ”
When Mama Yu heard this, she didn't ask anymore.
She thought that Ji Qing was thinking about her family.
Ji Qing could see Mama Yu's thoughts, but she didn't explain much.
After breakfast, Ji Qing went out with honeysuckle and holly again.
Before leaving, she noticed that Mama Yu looked like she wanted to say something, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't say it, Ji Qing thought about it, and knew that Mama Yu was worried that her frequent entry and exit would cause some trouble.
After all, Ji Qing can't reveal his identity now.
Ji Qing also knew this, but she was now eager to find out the mystery hidden in those two letters, and she was a little worried about handing over this matter to others to investigate, so she could only do it herself.
But......
Ji Qing shook Mama Yu's hand and said in a low voice, "Mama don't worry, I won't let myself have an accident." ”
After finishing speaking, he led Honeysuckle and Holly out of the second door.
And Mama Yu, looking at Ji Qing's back, couldn't help but feel sour in her heart.
In the past, the huge Ji family is now only the girl left, and the lady doesn't know what to do, she just hopes that the girl can be smooth and smooth, and there will be no mistakes.
Ji Qing went out with two maids.
Thinking of the ingenuity of the ingots last time, he deliberately brought the ingots with him before leaving.
Boarding the carriage, Ji Qing asked, "Where in the capital is the most complete paper?" ”
Honeysuckle and Holly were stunned.
Although they are occasionally ordered to leave the house on weekdays, they don't have many opportunities, and their understanding of the capital is actually not very comprehensive, and they have never paid attention to this matter, so they don't know how to answer Ji Qing's question.
At this time, Yuanbao, who acted as the coachman, suddenly said: "Girl, this little one knows." ”
Ji Qing was a little surprised, "Then you can talk about it." ”
"Whoa!" Yuan Bao responded, "If the girl wants to buy paper, go to Zhiyuan Study, Zhiyuan Study not only sells books, but also sells the four treasures of the study, but everything that readers want to buy can be bought here, of course, paper is the same, whether it is ordinary hemp paper, or good rice paper, magnetic green paper for copying scriptures, and sprinkled gold paper for sealing book covers...... As long as it is paper, you will definitely be able to buy it in Zhiyuan Study, and even those paper mills will take their homemade paper to Zhiyuan Study to sell ......"
The previous master of Yuanbao was a son who liked poetry and books, so he was extremely proficient in these aspects.
