Chapter 49: The Problem with the Box (Major Discovery)
"Your Majesty, tell me about my young lady!" Guo'er has always been a bold and daring to speak, and after adapting to it for a few days, he was also very calm when he saw Han Mou, "It's okay that others are busy, but the food is not delicious, and they often stay up late." Look, everyone has gone to lunch, and she still has to work. If it goes on like this, the slave maid sees that she hasn't gone to court yet, so she has to go to the Imperial Doctor's Department first! ”
"Don't be rude." Chun Tu Yu reprimanded without any momentum, and then waved his hand to Han Mou, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I'm fine." "She has an occupational obsessive-compulsive disorder, and she knows that if a suspicion is not straightened out, she will not be able to sleep or eat.
Han Mou didn't care about this, seeing that Chun Tu was swaying and looking like he would fall down at any time, the dragon claw waved, "Take your young lady into the house to sleep." This is a holy decree, you are not allowed to get up until tomorrow morning, and you can wake up when you have dinner and supper. ”
After the order, he and Xiaofeng escorted Chun Tu back to the bedroom. Chun Tu Yu resisted ineffectively, and when he went out, he didn't forget to look back at his desk, which was called a reluctance.
Han Mou couldn't help but laugh and asked Grandpa Gao, "Did you see her eyes?" Ha, I see that she really likes the law, and I don't mind if it's so hard, let her rest, as if I wronged her. ”
"The emperor seems to have said to the slaves and maids before that there is no unsuccessful person who is dedicated to doing things." Father-in-law Gao replied with a smile, "Miss Chunliu is just a girl, but she is better than the officials of the Criminal Department and the scholars and students in the world, it is not unreasonable. ”
"Well, that's a good point!" Han Mou nodded and said, "The world only sees the great general exalting his prestige and making meritorious contributions, but he doesn't know the hard training from childhood to adulthood. I only saw the talent swaying, crisscrossing the court, but I didn't know ten years of hard study. Tu Yu is naturally smart, but others only see her majestic in the court, but they can't see the hard work she does in private. As he spoke, he looked around at the largest room in the entire Orchid Palace.
I look at it by modern standards. This room is forty or fifty square meters, but it is much smaller because of the six large desks. On the table, files and papers, as well as pen and ink, were stacked in a messy manner. On the large table by the window, snacks, fruits and tea are placed.
No one is allowed to enter this room except for the six people involved in the study of the dossier. There are guards guarding the door day and night to prevent anyone in the palace from being bought and stealing into this place. Leads to information leakage. If going to the court is like going to the battlefield, then this room is the combat headquarters, and the intruder is considered a spy. Of course, the emperor is not included.
At this time, Han Mou was quickly attracted by the erected board. When I walked in, I saw that it was full of names and summaries of events, as well as connections to each other. On one side of the board, there are also a lot of notes with different handwritings, which are related to detailed explanations.
"The six girls always come up with these weird ways of doing things, but they seem simple and straightforward. Ya * Wen * Yan * Love * First * Hair "Straight to the point. Well, not bad. That's good. Han Mou looked at it for a while and praised, "If something unclear happens in the court next time, you can also do this to analyze it." ”
"God bless me Datang." Gonggong Gao touted, "The Ming Lord is in the world, and only talented people can be used by my emperor." ”
"Well, this sycophancy, it's really beautiful." Han Mou snorted. Then he sighed, "It's a pity that she's a woman after all." ”
Gao Gonggong did not answer directly, but also sighed.
"Forget it. Why should I dwell on this? Han Mou explained himself, "If you can contribute to the Tang Dynasty, whether you are young or old, rich or poor, you can make the best use of your talents, and you don't have to be confined to the court." If you do a good job, I will not be treated badly. As he spoke, he walked out of the house and returned to the palace.
Before, he had been hanging on Azuri's case, but because the government was too busy, he didn't have time to take a look. When I saw it today, I suddenly felt my heart fall into my stomach. Everything, busy but not chaotic, complicated and organized. It's a sign of confidence, and what else is he worried about?
At the same time, Chun Tu, who was forced to return to the house, was not so down-to-earth. She hadn't slept for twenty hours in a row, her body and brain were so exhausted that she seemed to have passed the critical point, and she couldn't sleep for a while. But after that, this girl got the holy decree and locked the door from the outside, and she couldn't go to the studio at all.
After tossing and turning for a while, she suddenly thought of something, so she simply got up, opened the wooden box where important things were stored, and took out three jewelry boxes.
In a box, it was a gift sent by her father thousands of miles away at her ceremony, and later I learned that it was given to her mother by her maternal grandfather, and the thing that her mother left her before her fake death and can confirm her identity is a golden hairpin with a peony entwined with branches.
In the other box, it is the jewelry in the style of Tu Hua that Fang Niangzi gave her as a gift for her future wedding before leaving Fan Yang, which is also a golden hairpin.
The third box is empty.
The emperor said that in the former palace, there was once a skilled jeweler, and the treasures made in his life were very few, all of which were collected in the palace treasury, and the outflow was the two pieces that are now in her hands. In that year, the emperor personally gave his grandfather and Zhu Li.
She hesitated for a moment at the two exquisite ornaments, and then took out her own first.
There are organs, but there is no trace of them from the outside. And in the face of such a beautiful jewelry that makes people can't take their eyes off, people who don't know the inside story don't dare to pull it at will. But when Chun Tu Yu was taught by Bai Jingyuan, after a few gentle twists, the color of the golden hairpin changed, and the hollow part was exposed. If you want to use this to convey a message, you can simply stuff it into a small roll of paper.
Of course, there is no foreign object in this hairpin, but her mother left it for her to remember.
So, she took the hairpin from the second box.
This one, along with the box, she had inspected it many times, but she had never found it. Did she fail to find the key to the mechanism, or was there something else ingenious? She felt that it was impossible for Fang Niangzi to predict the future, and she could judge that she would participate in the retrial of Zhu Limou's rebellion case in the seventeenth year of Qingping. In other words, when the hairpin is given to her, there may not be a clear purpose. However, this hairpin is indeed too valuable, even if Fang Niangzi has a relationship with Chun Dashan, she will not be so generous. If she really wears the hairpin out, it may attract people to covet it and cause trouble, Fang Niangzi is so smart and thoughtful, she will not think of this. But saying that Fang Niangzi wanted to harm her, she absolutely didn't believe it.
So, is there any intention to keep it for the time being or entrust it? You must know that at that time, the poisoning case was in an uproar, because someone died in the case, and the case file would also be sent to the Chang'an Criminal Department. The Du family is very well-connected in the court, including the Criminal Department, and the possibility of Fang Niangzi being discovered is very high. Therefore, Fang Niangzi can no longer live in Fanyang in peace. But if you start a new escape, you will inevitably be caught. It turned out that Fang Niangzi was arrested and returned to the former Fengguo Mansion shortly after she escaped. At that time, she was only fourteen years old, and her father and grandfather doted on her, and they would not let her marry early. In addition, the Chun father and son are kind, not people who love the present, so it is safest to leave the golden hairpin to the Chun family, right?
Fang Niangzi must have wanted to wait for the limelight to pass and come back, and then exchange other things that seemed more valuable for the hairpin, although it was a bit rude, but it didn't hurt others, and took back important things, it seemed ...... It's a two-way street.
Thinking of this, Chun Tu suddenly had a feeling.
After so many days of hard work, it was as if she had gone from darkness to the gray time when the sky was about to dawn. But the point she figured out just now, like the first dawn, although faint, still brought her the first hope of sunrise.
Suddenly, a thought crossed her mind again. said the word again, because it flashed in her confusion before, and she didn't catch it. But this time, she kept that light.
The time when Fang Niangzi escaped from the former Fengguo Mansion to Fanyang is very close to the time when Xu Wenchong was assassinated and the Shangshu Mansion was stolen! Why did Fang Niangzi choose that time? Is it a coincidence, or is it related? The fact that she was able to escape, and that she hadn't been found for years, showed that she had made a detailed plan before. But at that time, there was such a major incident in Chang'an, and the investigation must be strict, and it was not a good time to escape. Even at that time, it was a big risk to leave.
It's not scientific!
So hypothetical, just hypothetical inference! If the theft of Shangshu Mansion was related to Fengguo Mansion, Fang Niangzi, who was Du Heng's concubine at that time, either unintentionally or intentionally obtained something important...... You have to leave as soon as possible! Speaking of which, with Fang Niangzi's soft and rigid personality, it is impossible to sacrifice dignity for life and be Old Man Du's concubine. Unless, she had a purpose!
As soon as the spring was excited, he immediately picked up the third box.
There is no problem, no matter how you knock it, there is no hollow sound, indicating that there is no mezzanine. Was the box empty in the first place, or was something missing?
She lay on the bed, moved two candlesticks over, pushed the peony hairpin and the box aside, and stared at the two boxes, the new and the old. After watching it for a long time, my eyes suddenly lit up.
Box! It's the problem with the box! But all valuables must be beautifully packaged. A treasure that flowed out of the palace many years ago, no matter how good the quality of the Tang lacquerware is, it cannot be the same as new. What her mother left her, whether it is the peony golden hairpin or its packaging box, does not look like something in recent years. And what about Fang Niangzi gave her? The hairpin has a sense of old things, but the box is very new! Looking at the empty box on the other hand, it seems to be matched with the hairpin!
Chun Tu picked up the old empty box and gathered in front of the candle flame to look at it again. This time, she didn't pay attention to the problem of the mezzanine, but only the box itself, and she really saw something strange as a result!
The padding of the box is also made of woven cotton, which is very beautiful, and it is a good thing that can rarely be seen on the market. But the liner of the peony hairpin box is paved, but the liner of the tulip hairpin is glued!
