Chapter 28: Tracing the Roots (2)

"Hot springs?" Ye Jingjing was shocked. "There's a hot spring in Peach Blossom Village?"

"Seems like so."

"Are you sure?"

"This ...... It should be true, right? ”

"Have you gone into the cave and surveyed it carefully?"

“…… No, I didn't think it was serious! So ......"

Ye Jingjing's heart jumped "poof".

There was a hot spring in Peach Blossom Village, and she didn't even know about it! And there has never been any wind before.

But how did those two know? Could it be that they already knew, so this time they went to Peach Blossom Village to go to the hot spring? These two people can really hide it, they didn't show their tone at all, if it wasn't for Wuhai unintentionally following, she didn't know how long she would have been hidden? However, the hearsay has not been confirmed, after all, the slightest rumor has not been revealed before.

She took a deep breath and said, "Boss Wu, I have something I want to ask you for help!" ”

Wuhai's eyes lit up. He has been unable to repay her great kindness, and it is really exciting to hear her say that she has something to ask him for help.

He jumped to his feet, his eyes shining.

"Miss Jingjing, please command! Wuhai will definitely go to the soup and never hesitate. ”

"Okay, then please go to Peach Blossom Village again and investigate the hot spring matter in detail."

"Hot springs?" Wuhai wilted instantly, he thought there was something, it turned out that he was just going to investigate the hot spring...... But he thought about it, what big deal could she have as a deep daughter? It is estimated that the hot spring matter is a big deal for her, so her mentality is calm, and she doesn't care: "Don't worry, girl, this is a small problem, it's on me!" ”

Ye Jingjing said: "This matter is very important to me, please be sure to investigate and understand it in detail." ”

Seeing that she was solemn, Wu Hai hurriedly said, "Don't worry, it's absolutely no problem." ”

After Wuhai left, Ye Jingjing stood for a while, and called into the personal maid Bai Zhi and ordered: "Bai Zhi, prepare the carriage immediately and go to Jingnan Academy." ”

Bai Zhi took the order and left.

Located at the southern end of the capital, the Jingnan Academy is famous for its rich collection of books.

Ye Jingjing can also be regarded as a frequent visitor to the academy, and Qin Bo, the administrator of the academy, has long regarded her as an acquaintance.

"Third Miss came to read again?"

"Yes, Uncle Qin, does the academy have local logs from all over Southern Chu?" Ye Jingjing handed over the book card.

"Local logs? Yes, every state and county has it. …… Third Miss, please here, you see, this row is the local logs of various places. ”

Ye Jingjing nodded and said, "Okay, thank you Uncle Qin." ”

"Say thank you? The third lady was too polite. ”

Qin Bo's in-law was born with an illness half a year ago and almost died, but fortunately he took the medicine prescribed by Ye Jingjing and picked up a life, so he admired this young third lady with excellent medical skills very much, as long as she came to read the book, she would give all kinds of convenience.

"That's okay, Uncle Qin, you go and get busy, I'll find it myself."

"Okay, Third Miss, you take your time."

After Qin Bo retreated, Ye Jingjing walked to the bookshelf and rummaged through the booksl one by one.

After a while, I turned to a local diary about Qingzhou.

She looked stunned and hurriedly took down the book.

As far as she knew, Taohuazhuang happened to be located in Taohua Town, Qingzhou Prefecture.

The book is not thin, Ye Jingjing patiently flipped through the pages one by one. Bai Zhi was also guarding the young lady beside her.

Until an hour and a half passed, the whole book was almost finished, but Ye Jingjing still didn't find what she wanted to read, and there was no mention of Peach Blossom Town in the book.

She was a little disappointed, and opened the last one, the last paragraph was a mythological story, but it was this mythological story that caught Ye Jingjing's attention, and she saw that it was written: One hundred miles away from Beijing, there is a wonderful place, three mountains are together, and there is a warm spring in it, and the name is a clear soup pool. Legend has it that the pool is the place where the peach fairy of the upper realm bathes......

A hundred miles from Beijing? Isn't the location exactly Peach Blossom Town? And there's a warm clear soup pool there, isn't that the hot spring pool? And that Shangxian happens to be a peach fairy too.

Things won't be so coincidental, Ye Jingjing is almost sure that the mythical story is talking about Peach Blossom Village.

There is a hot spring in the peach blossom village, Ye Jingjing already knows it, so this paragraph did not surprise her much, what caught her attention was the latter paragraph: more strange, when the peach fairy descended to earth, he carried a number of colorful beads with him, spread the earth, and the soup pool became a cornucopia all around......

Ye Jingjing's heart thumped. Colorful beads? What multicolored beads? So, in addition to the hot springs, there are other treasures near Momosa?

Could it be that the land is fertile and the water and grass are abundant?

No, no, the land in Taohuazhuang is barren, and the harvest is half of that of other Zhuangzi. This is something that many people know.

So, what kind of treasure exactly are multicolored beads? And what is a cornucopia?

She took a deep breath and closed the book, her eyes falling on the cover. The books have been yellowed and are apparently a long time old.

The master and servant got into the carriage and went home, Ye Jingjing didn't say a word, and the shining shadow of colorful beads always jumped in her mind.

Although it was just a myth and legend, the experienced Ye Jingjing knew that the county chronicles in ancient times should not be underestimated, and there were many bizarre events hidden in them.

Because people had limited knowledge in the past, many strange events were difficult for people to understand, so most of them made it into myths and passed down.

If the legend in the county chronicles is true, then who is Momozen? What kind of treasure is the multicolored beads she scattered casually?

Bai Zhi next to her peeked at the young lady and pondered, not knowing what she was thinking, but she didn't dare to disturb her out of a voice.

After a long time, Ye Jingjing suddenly asked, "Bai Zhi, how much silver have we saved?" ”

Bai Zhi was stunned, pursed her lips and smiled: "Why did Miss suddenly remember to ask Yinzi?" "Suddenly I remembered something, and lowered my voice to make a mysterious appearance." Miss rest assured, when the young lady leaves the cabinet, there will be no problem with the dowry silver......"

Ye Jingjing glanced at the maid, a little funny: "You girl, I just casually asked about silver, what are you talking about, dowry, these headless things, you can really talk nonsense." ”

Bai Zhi smiled: "Miss, the slave is not nonsense. You're already in time, shouldn't this dowry be prepared sooner? In case one day, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ......"

Ye Jingjing's brows furrowed slightly, and she interrupted Bai Zhi's words: "Stop, stop, you girl, you're far away." Let me ask you first, how are those shops and Zhuangzi doing now? ”

Bai Zhi's expression froze, she sat up straight and said in a low voice: "Miss, don't worry, Fuxiang is watching, there is no problem." ”

Ye Jingjing nodded and said, "Ming'er, you go over and tell Fuxiang to clean up the Zhuangzi and the shop, I will be useful." ”

Bai Zhi asked curiously, "Miss, who are you?" ”

"Leave it alone, just do what I tell you to do."

Ye Jingjing said as she gently lifted the curtain and stared at the crowd of people and falling leaves outside the window.

Late autumn has arrived.

For her, this autumn is completely different from before. Will winter be early?
