Volume 10 Dream in the Pear Garden 02

Bai Yunshou gently patted my shoulder, and then put on a smile, "Mountain Eagle, Jiang Yuan, what are you talking about?" ”

Mountain Eagle looked at us and smiled, "What do you two say?" There are new friends here, so don't say introduce me first. ”

I saw that Shanying was looking at me, so I had to smile, but my heart was very uncomfortable, the person in front of me, except for this face, was exactly the same as Qianjue.

Bai Yun saw that my expression was a little inappropriate, and immediately came up to resolve the embarrassment, he introduced me and said that he was Jiang Yuan's cousin, called Fang Zi, the mountain eagle was stunned for a moment, and then saw Jiang Yuan nodding at him, and immediately regained the warm and warm smile just now, called me Brother Fang Zi, and said that he and Jiang Yuan have known each other for seven years, and have never heard him talk about me, I see that Jiang Yuan does not intend to explain, so he immediately said that we have been separated for many years, and everyone met by chance in a fight, and then saw the totem on the arm before recognizing it as his own, After chatting deeper, I realized that the relationship was not far away, and his father was my uncle.

Shanying was a little surprised, and after listening to me, he let out an "oh", and looked at Jiang Yuan with some surprise, Jiang Yuan smiled, "Fate." “

I said in my heart, cherish words like gold, this kid is hard to understand whether he has really found his former self, and he has changed back to the previous Jiang Hall Master, or is it because this kid named Shanying is here, he has to face him with the attitude of the former Jiang Hall Master of Hanhai Company out of some concerns.

Shan Ying seems to be a little confused, yes, it's me, this inexplicably drilled out a cousin, I was also a little dizzy, however, although Shan Ying had doubts, the doubts in his eyes quickly disappeared, probably because he felt that it didn't matter to him whether Jiang Yuan had a cousin or not, so whether it was true or not, or if there was some incredible origin, he felt that he didn't need to waste time and experience to think about this.

Jiang Yuan probably also felt that everything that should be said and introduced was almost done, and it was not what he wanted to waste time standing at the door, so he asked the mountain eagle what to do next, and the mountain eagle looked at me, and asked me instead: "Bai Yun said that Brother Fang Zi's surname is Xiao, is it the family at No. 66 East Forty Street in Beijing." ”

I was shocked, looked at him, didn't say anything for a while, and said how did he know this, this secret is an address handwritten on my grandfather's codex, he can actually say a word is not bad, I first saw it when I thought it was an address of his old man's shop or something in the early years, and then I saw some of the content he wrote behind, and found that there used to be a very old shop there, which was the earliest shop of the Xiao family to sell antiques.

I was thinking about these in my head, and my expression might be a little strange, Bai Yun pushed me from behind, and I reacted and smiled awkwardly, "Yes, during the Xuantong period, my grandfather's industry." ”

Shanying nodded slightly after hearing this, and then said to Jiang Yuan: "Back then, among the four major families of Meilan, Zhuju, Meifu and Lanfu were all officials of the imperial court, and the Zhu family was in business, and the three of them had a close relationship, only the people in the Huang Mansion did not like to deal with officialdom, my father once told me that the Huang family had close contacts with the Xiao family at that time, so this Lixiangyuan secret room was still taken by Brother Fang Zi to take us in." ”

Jiang Yuan hesitated slightly after hearing this, and asked rhetorically, "Shanying, you are the Huang family. ”

Shan Ying shook his head indifferently, "The ancestor of the Huang family, after a hundred years, the head of the Xiao family should enter the secret room and take out the ancient scroll. ”

Bai Yun looked at me, I looked at Jiang Yuan, but Shan Ying smiled at me, "Brother Fang Zi, the Xiao family has a very deep relationship with the Huang family back then, and many things are difficult to explain clearly at one time, but this ancient scroll has been lying in this pear fragrance garden for a century, and it's time for it to see the light of day again." ”

About a hundred years ago, I have also heard of the name of the four gentlemen in the capital, among the Meilan bamboo chrysanthemums, only the Huang family, which ranked fourth, disappeared in that warlord melee.

I looked down at my hands, which had been criticized as a blessing or a curse, and when I moved, I didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse.

"After all, this is the place of the Huang family, and the Huang family should preside over it, even though the two families are friends in the world, but we are juniors after all."

I deliberately said it to seven points, and Shanying naturally understood the meaning of my words, so he didn't continue to say anything to me, but looked at Jiang Yuan, "Since that's the case, then I'll go in first." ”

With that, he walked inside, and after three steps, he reached out and pulled a wrist-thick chain from above, and as the chain sank, the whole secret room miraculously lit up

As the black cloth covering the white crystal stone was pulled away little by little, the light became clearer and clearer.

"I know how to use white crystal stone for lighting, has the Huang family also seen the entrance tomb?"

After hearing my words, the mountain eagle took down a whole piece of oracle bone from the square platform in the middle of the secret room, which was a very large turtle shell, dark brown throughout, and the tentacles were gentle, and it had been jaded.

The jade oracle bone is engraved with the secret text of Huangquan, and it is also accompanied by some patterns.

"The ancestor of the Huang family was a deputy general who guarded Yanmen Pass, and once went out with the army of Wei Huo to fight against the Huns, and later General Huo died on the battlefield, the Huang family lamented the cruelty and bloodiness of the battlefield, and felt chilled by the indifference of the regime and imperial power at that time, so he wrote to the imperial court on the way back to the court to request to go to Dianjiangtai, and he was a mausoleum guard for generations."

I took the oracle bone and looked at it carefully, and suddenly, I found a few words, the moon is full of the sky, the bells and drums do not ring, the two worlds of yin and yang, and the last few words are really unreadable so I don't know what it is written.

"According to what you say, the Huang family was supposed to be the guardian of the tomb, but why did they go north to the capital and become one of the four major families?"

I asked him and I was also observing his expression, but this Mountain Eagle City Mansion was very deep, he first looked at my face, and then said: "Most of the things of the ancestors were passed down by the Huang family's oral tradition, and when they were passed down to my generation, many of these truths have become mysteries that can never be solved, and what has been passed down seems to be mixed with some inaccurate things. ”

After he finished speaking, he carefully took out a brocade box from the center of the square platform, and then dragged it in front of me with both hands, "The ancestor of the Huang family said that only people with mulberry leaf-shaped birthmarks on their arms are destined to be chosen by God. ”

I said in my heart, this mulberry leaf-shaped birthmark is all over the street, and I don't know if it's following the trend, many people spend money to get it deliberately, and I don't know where the beauty or coolness is.

In front of everyone's eyes, I opened the brocade box, only to find it empty.

I turned the box around and showed the three of them, "Where's the thing?" ”

The three of them pointed to the inside of the brocade box with synchronized expressions, and I immediately understood that the box had a mezzanine. (To be continued.) )
