Chapter 10: A Thousand Miles to Find Relatives
The box is a rouge box for women's rouge, the appearance is very old, the dark yellow box body is faintly engraved with patterns, but because it has been used for too long, the pattern has been sharpened and blurred, and it is not clear - it is an old rouge box that is some years old.
After hesitating for a moment, Mei Zijin finally reached out and picked up the rouge box, but the weight of his hand made him slightly stunned-
Looking at the dark yellow box body and the old appearance, he thought it was a rouge box made of brass used by ordinary people's girls, but he didn't expect that this old rouge box was actually made of gold, and the amount of money was not light.
The gold rouge box is very valuable, and it is generally only seen in the bride of the lady of the powerful family.
For example, Mrs. Hou has a rouge box inlaid with red gold and colorful jade.
But a small doctor's house like the Sheng family can use a golden rouge box, but it is unlikely.
The suspicion in Mei Zijin's heart was even greater.
He reached out and unscrewed the lid, and the rich mint fragrance came to his nose.
What was in the box was not rouge, but half a box of peppermint ointment.
From the old gold rouge box to the peppermint ointment inside, Mei Zijin couldn't understand this 'Sheng Yu' more and more......
Mei Zijin thought that since it was something she had brought with her, she would definitely return to look for it if it was lost.
He originally wanted to put the rouge box back in its place, but by the ghost's request, he actually reached out and took the rouge box into his arms......
Shui Qingqing, who returned to the wing room, thought about the attitude of the people who had just been in the mourning hall Mei Zijin and even the entire Hou Mansion towards him, and felt cold.
Fortunately, both Bai Lingwei and Mei Zijin are her enemies, and the purpose of her entering the Hou Mansion is to snatch back her children, not really to become a family with them......
Undressed and went to bed to rest, Shui Qingqing habitually touched into her arms, but felt empty.
The rouge box is gone!
In an instant, she panicked, thinking that she had fallen into the futon on the bed when she wiped her forehead before, so she hurriedly lifted the futon and found it, and asked Xiaoxi to help find it together.
Seeing that she was so anxious that she was about to cry, Xiaoxi persuaded while looking for it: "Miss, don't worry, the left and right things will fall in this house, you must find them...... Even if it's really gone, it doesn't matter, the slave will help you buy a brand new rouge box, it must look better than the one you used to ......"
Xiaoxi has been serving by Shui Qingqing's side for more than two months, so she has seen the old rouge box that Shui Qingqing has been carrying with her.
"No, you have to find the box!"
Shui Qingqing interrupted Xiaoxi's words anxiously, and her anxiousness suddenly made Xiaoxi think of something, and couldn't help but look at Shui Qingqing, who was red-eyed, and said with concern: "Miss, after the master rescued you from the lake, you lost your memory and forgot everything, didn't you...... What does this box remind you of? ”
When the Sheng family rescued Shui Qingqing from the lake, she had nothing on her, not even a copper plate, only this old rouge box.
After she woke up, the Sheng family wanted to send her home, but was told by Shui Qingqing that she had amnesia, forgot who she was, and didn't know where her home was......
Shui Qingqing really has no home, her adoptive father died in the hands of horse bandits, and before he died, he told her that he picked up her when he was still in swaddling clothes when he was digging a well in the desert eighteen years ago, except for a small quilt wrapped with her embroidered with the word 'Qing', there was only this rouge box that she had been holding in her hand......
Therefore, Shui Qingqing, who came to the capital from the northwest thousands of miles pregnant, originally went back to the capital to look for relatives, but he didn't expect to find his relatives in the end, but he lost his child and almost died in the deep lake......
