In fact, from the first time he stayed in Shou'an Hall, Zhu Luan had a strange feeling.

It's a very subtle feeling, like some special ability. When the queen was still there, she often said that she had a "beastly intuition." ”

Shou'an Hall is the courtyard of the old lady Bai, the place where the old people live likes to be quiet, and the maids and servants here are all old, all dressed in simple and unpretentious clothes. Inside and outside the house, from the flowers and plants in the yard to the furnishings in the house, they are all simple and spacious.

It was supposed to be a very simple, delightful place.

However, from the beginning of living here, Zhu Luan felt that in addition to the simple furnishings and personnel as far as the eye could see, there were always other "things" here.

But what kind of thing it was, she couldn't say.

An ethereal sense of presence haunted the courtyard, as if seeping up from the ground.

Underground!

After hearing this hollow voice that was so faint that he was almost imperceptible, Zhu Luan immediately figured out the joints behind his strange intuition.

There is something underneath the ground of Shouantang.

The place with the most secret rooms and secret passages in the world is none other than the palace and mausoleum, and by chance, these two places happen to be mixed by Zhu Luan, and they are mixed well, so she has intuition and experience, and speculates that there is very likely to be a secret room under Shou'an Hall.

But......

A respected old feudal monarch in her eighties, why is there a secret room under the place where she lives?

The current British Mansion was built after Zhu Hong, the old prince, returned to his hometown with a large amount of gold leaf rewarded by Emperor Taizu.

Since it is a house built by his own family, it is unlikely that Old Taijun Bai will not know that there is a secret room under his courtyard.

Emperor Taizu's rewards were all over the Ming Road, a glass of wine released the military power, and the gold and silver title deeds were exchanged for military rights, and his old man was very happy, and the British public returned to his hometown with honor, and he was not a corrupt official, and there was nothing to hide at home.

Zhu Luan frowned.

"Yuying," she called out to the little girl who was sitting on the Taishi's chair in the center of the room, "come here." ”

Yuying was sitting on a chair and stealing grapes from the guard, when she heard the young lady's shout, she was startled and accidentally choked.

"Little ...... Small...... Miss ......", the little girl choked and said vaguely, Zhu Luan sighed, walked to her side, and slapped the little girl on the back.

Yuying, who finally swallowed the grapes, gasped and asked, "Miss, what's the matter?" ”

"No, I just want to ask about Mrs. Bai." Zhu Luan also picked up a grape and put it in his mouth, and the sweet juice spread in his mouth.

Even at this point, he will give grapes to his great-granddaughter. is still a great-grandson who is not related by blood.

"Old lady Bai? The old witch who locked the young lady here? Yuying pouted, "Miss, she treats you so badly, what do you ask her to do?" ”

"Silly boy," Zhu Luan touched Yuying's head, "Old Taijun Bai is a very powerful person." ”

It's not very powerful, even the queen of heaven praised this old woman back then.

Born as a bandit, he knew the hero with a discerning eye, and after marrying Zhu Hong, who was just a grass people, he got a good life, lost his husband at a young age, raised his son to become a talent, lost his son in middle age, and raised his grandson independently to grow up and successfully inherit the title.

At that New Year's court, Bai Lao Taijun brought his eldest grandson to worship, and Zhu Luan stood beside the queen of heaven, looking at the young man's demeanor and good character, which was not inferior to the sons of the family who grew up in the capital.

In my memory, Mrs. Bai looked proud next to her, although she was old, her waist was straight, her hair was gray, and she was in good spirits.

The spirit is much more than what I look at now.

It must have been the death of the last relative, which gave Mrs. Bai a huge blow.

Thinking of the young man who died early, Zhu Luan lowered his head and pondered.

"Miss, what are you thinking?" Yuying asked.

"I wondered, how could a person who seemed so healthy suddenly die?" Zhu Luan replied.

"Miss, who are you talking about?" Yuying asked suspiciously.

"Zhu Hao, the third-generation British duke, my eldest uncle." Zhu Luan touched her head.

"The third generation?" Yuying counted with her fingers, "Oh, I know, it's the first one, when he died, he wore white clothes for a month, and he didn't let us go out to play, and he couldn't even eat meat," the little girl said angrily.

I just remember to eat, Zhu Luan smiled, "The descendants of the British government have always been passed down in the same line," she sighed.

"No," Yuying interjected, "my father told me before his death that the women in the British Mansion are all tigresses, and they can't give birth to a few sons-in-law, and they don't give their husbands concubines. ”

This one...... Zhu Luan has lived three lifetimes and has never married, so he does not plan to express his opinion on this issue of concubines.

"But even if it is passed down from one line to another, I remember that although the British government handed over the military power, the children and grandchildren will be sent to the military camp for training, and their physical fitness should be very good."

"Oh, I've heard of this too, and everyone says it's all the sins of the old British duke who killed too many people back then." Yuying said Shinto.

"Iniquity?"

"That's right," the little girl became excited, "the old British duke recurred from an old injury on the battlefield, the second one met the Houjin cavalry when he joined the army and went out to explore the road, the third one fell from his horse during drills, and the fourth one ......" Speaking of this, Yuying covered her mouth.

The fourth is Miss Zhu Jiu's father, Zhu Zhai, who also died on the battlefield.

Four generations of British dukes died in battle-related places, and none of them lived past the age of thirty.

After the death of the old prince, Emperor Taizu used the argument of killing the evil and ominous to weaken the elite barracks left by the old prince.

The killing is too heavy to be ominous?

Zhu Luan frowned.

The founding generals who fought the world were said to be ominous, so the princes were divided, the people were displaced, and the corpses were floating for thousands of miles.

And isn't the person who killed the heaviest in all dynasties the highest position?

But sons are not born one after another.

At that time, she only knew the first half of the story, and felt that although the first half of Mrs. Bai's life was bumpy, God still left her a grandson in the end, which was also a thought, but she didn't expect this grandson to die in front of her.

It's really miserable.

Zhu Luan stroked the little girl's head and thought silently in her heart.

When her grandson died, and it was rumored that the British public incense was cut off, it was this woman who went north to the divine capital at the age of seventy, and braved the world's disapproval to ask for a grandson who was not related to her, so that she would keep the family business passed down from her father and husband.

Zhu Luan couldn't help but admire this old woman who is still working hard outside to support this family.

"You say, what is the most precious thing to Old Lady Bai?" Zhu Luan muttered.

"Baby?" Yuying was confused.

"Probably the great-grandson," Yuying looked disdainful, "I was busy with the eldest lady to choose a daughter-in-law for the precious son of Grandpa Guo, but the eldest lady fell in love with someone else's young lady, but none of them intended to marry." ”

She ate and laughed.

In addition to Zhu Mei's daughter-in-law, Zhu Kuan and Li's family also have a son-in-law, Zhu Cong, but this Zhu Cong is not only not as good as his name, but also stupid by nature, and is a famous "stupid son of the landlord's family" in Huizhou.

The Li family is interested in all the ladies with good family background and good looks, even if Zhu Cong is likely to inherit the title in the future, but the really noble family, where did they originally marry their daughters to such a fire pit.

"Grandson?" Zhu Luan groaned.

Can such a great-grandson who is not related by blood be considered a treasure?

What exactly is hidden in the secret room?

Zhu Luan only felt that his curiosity was constantly expanding.
