As he spoke, he took out a copper spoon from his cuff, looked at it, handed it to her, and said, "This is one of the keys to open the copper box, and the master said that the power box is a mother and son lock, and he said that there is another one on you, and when you get the two keys, go to the White Horse Temple to open the copper box." Now that Marshal Qi is still in the court, it's time for me to hand this over to you. ”

"But when I find the key, where am I going to get the copper box?" Ruri hurriedly asked.

"I don't know." He frowned and said, "Master didn't say, maybe you can go and ask the abbot about it then." ”

Only then did Liuli solemnly take the copper spoon, as if it was his grandfather's last life. White Horse Temple outside Beijing, that is the temple where Yongxin, who came to the mansion to solve the old lady's disaster, why would my grandfather put such an important thing there? She also said that there was a key on her, but she never remembered such a thing!

I remember that when she wrote her name in front of Yongxin, Yongxin had a surprised expression, could it be that he knew something?

After thinking for a moment, she carefully put the copper spoon into her purse, looked at Xu Yuan opposite, pursed her lips and said, "Uncle Shi is really a gentleman who keeps his promises. Grandpa is under Jiuquan, and he will definitely be glad to have a disciple like you. ”

"No," Xu Yuan shook his head, "this is what I should do." I owe it to my husband. ”

I don't know when the uncle in his mouth has become "sir", Liuli looked at him for a moment, remembered the little son of the Dou family who had not died in his mouth before, his heart suddenly moved, and said softly: "Uncle Shi, are you really, also surnamed Xu?" ”

Xu Yuan was stunned, and suddenly poured another glass of wine. "Doesn't it matter? Hengzhu, in this life, I have become a master, and I am my father. Okay," he suddenly stood up, looked out, and said, "I have already done what Master wants me to do, and I will do it as long as you are good in the future." Don't reveal this paragraph, once your background is revealed, it will only be troublesome for you. And no benefit. Master doesn't want us to enter officialdom. But you've already been swept in, and there's no way to get out. I also hope that you will find a satisfactory husband in the coming day and live a good life. If there is anything in the future, you can come to Sichuan and Shu to find me at any time. Just like now, whatever you want Uncle Shi to do, I will do it for you! ”

"Uncle Shi!" Liuli rushed over and hugged his arm, "Then aren't you going back to the capital?" ”

Xu Yuan looked up at the roof and exhaled: "."

Liuli hurriedly said: "Then isn't it difficult for me to see you?" If one day the Dou family is rehabilitated, then the little boy can stand up openly? ! ”

"Rehabilitation-" Xu Yuan suddenly turned around. Shaking his head gloomily, he said, "There won't be this day." You should know, the prince back then. It is the Holy One today. Since he single-handedly concocted the unjust cases back then, how could he rehabilitate them? Master said that if a person lives because of hatred, then he might as well die. Uncle Shi is very happy in Sichuan and Shu now, and he has made some money from trading in the past two years, and if you want money in the future, you will send a letter to squeak. Your sister is also very good, she will soon add a little brother to you, now like this, what am I not satisfied with? ”

He didn't directly admit that he was the only living little son of the Dou family, but now Liuli is like a mirror. After his grandfather resigned, Uncle Xu worshipped him as a teacher, and then followed him to Jiangnan, never asking about the rivers and lakes.

Ruri still wanted to say something, she knew that he also hoped in his heart that he could be rehabilitated one day. But seeing him like this now, she can't bear to break his happiness. If even people like my grandfather are willing to be bland, there is indeed no one who can complain that fate is unfair to them.

"It's rare to see each other, so let's sit down again."

The glass seems to be close to the middle of the tunnel.

Xu Yuan looked at her, sat down again, except for the faint sorrow under his eyebrows, the rest of his expression was already calm. "I heard that you are now studying with the female officer next to the eldest princess, that is very good. The eldest princess was also talented and beautiful back then, and the female officials around her were not idlers. If the master hadn't deliberately opened up a relationship with Gong Yu back then, he would have at least been attached to the horse. ”

Liuli was choked and coughed, "You mean that the eldest princess also took a fancy to her grandfather back then?" ”

"Not really." Xu Yuan said: "It's the fourth princess, who was called Princess Yitai at the time, and now it's Mrs. Weiyuanhou." She had a soft spot for Master at that time, but she was also a very cool woman, and after Master rejected her and married her instead, she let go of this thought and became a brother and sister with Master. In the future, the fact that you are Mr. Lan Qing's granddaughter will be revealed, and you may be able to get closer to her. If she still remembers her friendship with Master, she should help you. But now I don't know what the Holy Lord thinks about Master, so it's not appropriate to tell you for the time being. ”

Liuli unexpectedly has such an exciting inside story, although she has never seen Mrs. Weiyuanhou, how can she not know? Unexpectedly, she turned out to be Princess Yitai who admired her grandfather! Keep Xu Yuan's words in mind at the moment, and just wait for the opportunity to meet in the future.

Looking at Xu Yuan drinking alone, because he remembered that there was a Jin Xuan who drank with him when he was a child, and Jin Xuan, who wanted to teach him a bad chess hand, had not seen him for many years, and couldn't help but say: "It would be nice if Uncle Jin was also here, I miss you so much." ”

Xu Yuan said: "He has now opened two more noodle restaurants, and he has become a grandfather, and he is very busy all day long." ”

Liuli said: "Yes, how did Uncle Jin recognize his grandfather?" ”

Xu Yuan paused, glanced at her and said, "Wait for him to tell you in the future." ”

Liuli is not disappointed.

This gathering lasted from noon until the sun went down, until Xu Yuan's entourage came in and urged him to rush back to the post office while the sky was dark, and Liuli knew that he was still living in the post house outside Beijing. Liuli was distressed for the more than 100 people who died unjustly in Dou Mansion, and he was even more distressed. But whether it is the court or the inner courtyard of the deep house, where there are people, there is a rule that the law of the jungle exists, and this can never be eliminated.

What Xu Yuan brought to Liuli this time was not only the comfort between relatives, but also confirmed that her grandfather was the legendary Mr. Lan Qing, and left her with many untold questions.

First of all, where is the key to open the copper box? Since her grandfather said that it was given to her, it must have been given to her, but why couldn't she remember? Then what was written on the edict given to him by the emperor back then? Why did Grandpa have to wait until Marshal Qi was still facing back before asking Uncle Xu to give her the key to take it out? Except for the emperor and grandfather, who else knows about this holy oracle?

He Lili has been asking Shuangxi to look for things by her side, could this be what she is looking for?

If He Lili was really looking for this, then what did he find it for?

Liuli asked Rui'er to take the copper spoon and search twice against all the places in the house, but still did not find half of the suspicious key. Because of the constant pressure on this matter in his heart, when he was distracted in class in Wutong Courtyard that day, he was knocked by Guo Yao a few times.

After school, Guo Yao left her behind and said solemnly: "What are you thinking about in class today?" Always so half-hearted, how can you learn your homework well? ”

Liuli hurriedly bowed to her and said, "It's the student's fault, the student has unsolved questions in his heart, so he is distracted." ”

"What's the doubt?" Guo Yao thought it was in a book.

Liuli pursed her lips before she said, "Sir, let me ask you about something, do you know that the twenty-fourth young master of Yanping, Dou Jue, was raided and destroyed?" ”

Guo Yao's eyes widened suddenly, and he held his breath for a long time before he said, "Who told you this?!" ”

Liuli couldn't help but be a little nervous when she looked like this, swallowed her saliva and said, "It's my uncle who said it." My uncle came to see me from Sichuan and Shu a few days ago, and mentioned two things about this by the way. I was a little curious, and I thought that you should have known at the time, sir, so I asked. ”

Guo Yao's face turned a little pale, and he stared at her for a long time before turning his face, staring at a galloping horse on the wall, and said, "That's too miserable!" None of the people who saw the Dou family being wiped out back then were willing to think about it. Their house was close to Wangfu Street, and I was teaching at Chen's Mansion when I was a female teacher at the time, when I suddenly heard a continuous scream from the direction of the Young Master's Mansion that night. Princess Chen worshipped the Buddha in the Buddha hall and didn't let us go out to see. All in all, few people are willing to talk about it now, and you won't mention it in the future! ”

"But," Ruri bit her lip and said, "Doesn't anyone think it's an unjust case?" ”

Guo Yao turned around and walked in front of her with his eyebrows, "How can it be an unjust case that the first emperor broke off?!" This is the end of this matter, and you are not allowed to pursue it any further! ”

"Do as you are told." Ruri had to nod yes.

In the end, this incident became her heart disease, and it continued for many years.

On the day Uncle Xu left Beijing, Liuli toasted a glass of wine in the direction of the south in the courtyard, and then returned to the life of this mansion.

She had to come back, because it was at this time that Shuhua came.

"I'm afraid that Mrs. Song won't be able to do this." After coming, she said with a solemn face. "This morning, Mrs. Song got the news in Kunhe Palace, and the saint is preparing to marry Qi Yunhao on the spot from the courtiers who entered the palace for the banquet on the occasion of the knighthood of the Qi family on August 15! It was also said that officials above the fifth rank must bring their wives and daughters to participate. ”

Marriage on the spot! Doesn't that mean it's a draft in disguise? The Holy One attaches so much importance to the prayer family!

At this time, even Liuli lost her sense of proportion: "Is the news reliable?" ”
