379 Jade Pendant
"Sister, my mother said that my father went to a far away place, although he is not with us, but he will always be with us."
It turned out that Miss Wei's husband had passed away. Song Erniu became more and more sympathetic to the mother and daughter.
"Your mother is right, your father, watching you from heaven. So Xiaoxue has to get better quickly, so that she can protect her mother and brother, do you know? ”
Song Erniu put Xiaoxue to sleep, got up and went outside.
Sure enough, Miss Wei was sitting in the courtyard and was sad. Song Erniu stepped forward a little apologetically, "I'm sorry, I didn't know ...... just now"
"It's okay." Miss Wei may have remembered the past, or maybe she wanted to find someone to talk to, and when Song Erniu sat down, she talked about the past.
"I and Xianggong are childhood sweethearts, Xianggong is a distant relative of the Wei family, when he was very young, his family was in a big trouble, it was his father and mother who adopted him, and then he has been raised in the Wei family, we grew up together, he is like my brother, take care of me, care about me, maybe our relationship started at that time, or, from the moment he appeared in the Wei family, I identified him ......"
"When the Wei family had an accident, I was only ten years old, and at that time, he went to do business in other places, and I clamored for her to take me to ......"
"That's why I escaped those raiders. I happily went down to Jiangnan, and when I came back, my home was gone. Do you know how desperate I was at the time? I even felt like I might not be able to live......"
"At that time, it was he who accompanied me, comforted me, took care of me, and pulled me out of the abyss little by little. That year, I was ten years old and he was fifteen. ”
"Without the Wei family as a backer, our identity can't be known, we hid in Jiangnan for a few years, and five years later, we got ......married."
Speaking of fulfilling you, Miss Wei's expressionless face finally had a slight smile, "That day was the happiest day in my life, I married him, no matter whether life is good or bad in the future, he will accompany me, as long as I think of this, I can wake up with a smile in my dreams." ”
"But the good times didn't last long......"
The smile on Miss Wei's face didn't last long, and she was surrounded by unconcealable sadness, "It's that I'm not satisfied, I obviously have the best everything, but I still want to give an explanation to my father, mother, brother and sister-in-law." I want to return the Wei family's innocence. After the minister found out, he went to help me without hesitation......
Miss Wei suddenly thought of something, wiped her tears, and turned her head to look at Song Erniu, "By the way, I thought of one thing, at the beginning, Xianggong seemed to have found out about Mrs. Ji, but ...... Before I could talk to me in detail, I went."
"You're a good man...... How did you get there? Song Erniu was puzzled.
Miss Wei looked at the gloomy sky and said with a wry smile, "It rained a lot that day, Xiaoxue was crying and wanted to eat sugar gourds, and Xianggong was reluctant to see Xiaoxue crying, so he held an umbrella to buy sugar gourds......
It rained heavily that day, it was big, big, the biggest rain she'd ever seen in years. The big ones make people desperate, and the big ones make people almost out of breath.
Yongping Street that day was also extraordinarily long, and she tried her best, but she couldn't move Xianggong, and in the end, the people on the street couldn't stand it, so they helped her carry the body home.
"He went out and was robbed of money, and he was wrongfully accused of stealing silver, and he was beaten to death."
Miss Wei thought that she didn't want to think about this in her life, but now that she mentioned it, she felt that she didn't seem to be so sad.
"After Xianggong died, I took Xiaoxue and them back to the capital, and I have been looking for an opportunity to overturn the case for the Wei family, but I have never had a chance to ......"
Miss Wei looked at Song Erniu gratefully, "If I hadn't met you this time, maybe the affairs of the Wei family would still not be remembered." So, Miss Song, thank you. ”
"Don't say that, I didn't help you with anything."
Song Erniu saw that it was not early, so she got up and took out her money bag, "I went out in a hurry today, and I didn't bring much silver, you take these silver first, and I'll bring you some another day." ”
Miss Wei didn't accept it, Song Erniu stuffed it directly into his arms, "Take it, for Sister Xiaoxue." You don't want to see what happened today. ”
Miss Wei thought that Xiaoxue had a fever and she was anxious, but she looked helpless, so she still took the silver.
"Miss Song, thank you. If it weren't for you today, Xiaoxue wouldn't know what would have happened......"
Miss Wei took out the jade pendant on her waist and handed it to Song Erniu. "This jade pendant was left to me by my mother, and it is now my most valuable thing. If you take it, it will be my thank you. ”
"Since this is given to you by Mrs. Wei, you can keep it. Just keep a thought ......"
Miss Wei shook her head, "Things are dead, people are alive, if my mother has a spirit in the sky, she will definitely want me to do this." ”
"Miss Song, this is actually not a valuable thing, you can take it."
Miss Wei stuffed the jade pendant into Song Erniu's hand and personally sent her away.
Song Erniu returned home, Song Daniu had already cooked, Chu Mufeng was not there, and several children saw him come back, and happily surrounded him, "Auntie, look, this is the sachet that my mother gave us, it looks good." ”
Erya also came over to show off, "Auntie, my mother also bought it for you, the same as ours." ”
"Really? It's beautiful. Auntie likes it. ”
Song Erniu smiled and pulled a few girls to the table, "I went to the street with my mother today?" Happy? ”
"Happy, happy, the streets are so beautiful, and there are so many delicious things."
"Yes, my mother also took us to eat a lot of delicious things"
The eldest girl and the second girl are arguing to talk about today's events, and Xiaobao doesn't seem to be in a very good mood.
Song Erniu pulled Xiaobao over, "What's wrong, but what's uncomfortable?" ”
"Mother, Daddy is gone." Xiaobao pulled Song Erniu's sleeve a little aggrieved. "Mother, doesn't Daddy want us?"
Song Erniu was puzzled, "Who said that Daddy is gone?" Although he was a little unhappy today, Chu Mufeng never said that he was leaving.
"Xiaobao, what did your father tell you?"
Xiaobao said with a look of grievance, "Daddy said that he was going to leave Xiaobao for a while, and asked Xiaobao to listen to his mother, mother, does Daddy not want Xiaobao?" Is Xiaobao unobedient and disobedient? ”
Xiaoba is the closest to Chu Mufeng, and now that Chu Mufeng is leaving, Xiaobao must be sad.
Song Erniu persuaded for a long time before she was persuaded to be good, and she didn't care about eating, so she hurriedly went to the Taishi Mansion.
"Master Hu, where did Chu Mufeng go?" Intuition told Song Erniu that Master Hu knew the news of Chu Mufeng.
Master Hu glanced at Song Erniu, then put down the teacup in his hand, and knocked on the table with his hand one by one, as if he was thinking about something.
Seeing this, Song Erniu was inexplicably a little uneasy, "Master Hu, you are Chu Mufeng's most trusted person, if he wants to do something, he will definitely be the first to tell you, please tell me, where did he go?" Will you be coming back? ”
"He's gone to the border." Master Hu spoke in a deep voice. Song Erniu was surprised when she heard this, "Why?" "How can it be so sudden?
"No one dares to interfere in the affairs of the Chu family in Kyoto City at the moment, he can't find any useful news here, and it just so happened that the old man received a secret letter from the border pass today, and he passed."
"What secret message?" Song Erniu was puzzled, and inadvertently the jade pendant in the cuffs fell to the ground.
When Song Erniu went to pick up the jade pendant, Master Hu saw the pattern on the jade pendant, and his face changed greatly, "How can you have this jade pendant?" ”
"Does the Taishi know this jade pendant?" Song Erniu handed over the jade pendant, "This is the Wei family's jade pendant......"
"The Wei family?" Taishi Hu's face became more and more ugly, "Where did you get this jade pendant, who gave it to you, bring it to the old man." ”
Song Erniu handed it over, and after Taishi Hu looked at it carefully, he said hello several times in a row. "What is the origin of this jade pendant?"
"This jade pendant belonged to the ancestor of the Chu family back then. Although the old man didn't know how you got it from the Wei family, the old man was sure that this jade pendant originally belonged to the Chu family. ”
"The Chu family?" Song Erniu was puzzled, "Aren't the Wei family and the Chu family unfamiliar?" How can there be the same jade pendant? ”
Taishi Hu shook his head, "As an official of the same dynasty, how can you really not know each other, it's just that the Wei family and the Chu family are both military generals, so it's not easy to get too close." In fact, the relationship between the Wei family and the Chu family was very good, and they even thought about setting a baby kiss, but later ......"
When Taishi Hu thought of the beginning, a trace of regret flashed in his eyes, "It's a pity, it's a pity......"
"Master Hu, what a pity, what are you talking about, why can't I understand a word?" Song Erniu was puzzled.
"But then the Wei family had an accident, and then the Wei family completely disappeared from everyone's sight."
Taishi Hu didn't seem to want to mention the events of the year, "I heard that you want to investigate the affairs of the Wei family?" Miss Song, listen to the old man's advice, the Ji family is not something you can touch. ”
"Thank you for reminding me, but I've already decided on this matter. And I've already promised them......"
"Who are they?" Master Hu asked. Song Erniu didn't say anything about Miss Wei, but just said her position on the matter.
Chu Mufeng ...... When did he depart? ”
Song Erniu hesitated and then spoke. Master Hu glanced at her, and then spoke, "Early tomorrow morning." ”
"Can I see her now?" Song Erniu wanted to see Chu Mufeng, but Taishi Hu did not refuse. He's in the backyard. You should be able to see him now. ”
"Thank you, Master." After Song Erniu said goodbye to Master Hu, she went to the backyard. In the backyard, Chu Mufeng was sitting at the stone table wiping the hilt of his sword. Hearing the footsteps, he turned his head to look, as if he didn't expect Song Erniu to come over at this time, and stood up after Wei Leng, "Why are you here." ”
"I heard you're going to the border...... Why didn't you tell me? Song Erniu didn't know why, she always felt a little aggrieved, "Xiaobao misses you, and you lose your temper at home, I ...... I'm looking for you for Xiaobao. ”
"Really?" Chu Mufeng smiled bitterly, didn't he already know the result, why did he still look forward to it? Now all I get is empty joy.
"Aren't you worried about me at all? Song Erniu, you like the emperor a little bit now. ”
Song Erniu didn't expect Chu Mufeng to ask like this, and Wei Leng didn't speak after that.
Chu Mufeng thought that Song Erniu had acquiesced, and sneered, "You go back, it will take some time for me to go to the border this time, take care of Xiaobao, and I will go to see him when I come back." ”
After Chu Mufeng finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, Song Erniu didn't know what was wrong, seeing him leave like this, he was inexplicably afraid, and subconsciously pulled her sleeve, "Wait a minute, I haven't finished talking yet." ”
Chu Mufeng stopped but did not speak. Song Erniu ran in front of him, hesitated and then spoke, "Be careful all the way and come back early." ”
"Okay." Chu Mufeng stood in place, not knowing what to wait for.
"Chu Mufeng, just now Taishi Hu told me that this jade pendant that Miss Wei gave me is something from the Chu family, do you know each other?"
This time, Chu Mufeng finally reacted, turned around and glanced at the jade pendant in Song Erniu's hand, and his face changed instantly. Then he stepped forward quickly, took the jade pendant in her hand and put it in front of his eyes and looked at it again.
"Where did you get this jade pendant?"
Why did they react like this when they saw this jade pendant, and what is the secret of this jade pendant?
"Miss Wei gave it, saying that it was Mrs. Wei who left it to him......"
"This is my grandfather's jade pendant, I accidentally lost it back then, and the Chu family has been looking for it for so many years, I really didn't expect that this jade pendant would be on Mrs. Wei." Chu Mufeng was surprised, "Can you take me to meet Miss Wei?" ”
"Why?" Song Erniu was puzzled.
Chu Mufeng didn't say it explicitly, "There are some things that need to be asked to Miss Wei face to face." ”
Song Erniu did not continue to ask questions when she heard this, but took Chu Mufeng to the Wei family. Xiaoxue has a fever and is currently playing with her brother in bed.
Miss Wei was washing clothes in the yard, and when she saw them coming in, she quickly stood up, "Miss Song, ...... Gongzi Chu"
"Why didn't the door close?" In the past, they were at home with the door closed, so they were worried that strangers would come in. How the door is open today. It seems that he is deliberately waiting for someone.
Song Erniu was puzzled, and Chu Mufeng opened her mouth.
"You knew I was coming, didn't you?"
Song Erniu became more and more surprised when she heard this, Chu Mufeng stepped forward in three or two steps and came to Miss Wei's side, "This jade pendant was deliberately given to Erniu, right?" What do you want to tell me? Do you want me to help you investigate the Wei family's case? ”
Miss Wei saw that Chu Mufeng had seen through her thoughts, and nodded admittedly, "Young Master Chu is really smart, I just used such a small measurement, you know so quickly." That's right, I just want you to help the Wei family too. In fact, to put it bluntly, you are also helping yourself. ”
"Why should I promise you?" Chu Mufeng snorted dissatisfiedly, "There is a difference of ten years between the Wei family's case and the Chu family's case, how can you believe that the two cases were committed by the same person." ”
"Just by that secret letter." Miss Wei mentioned the secret letter, her eyes were full of hatred, "My father once told me that he got a superstition letter and was going to the border soon, but it didn't take long for our family to be in trouble, it must be this secret letter, it must be ......"
"These are all your guesses, and you can't count them......"
Chu Mufeng still disagreed with her statement, "I won't interfere in the affairs of the Wei family, you will die of this heart." ”
