Chapter 649: Two Fire Girls
In the evening, He Angelica returned to the room, silently thinking about Peng Shi's words, and his heart was full of confusion.
Peng Shi said that Princess Lin'an's daughter, the county lord of Xiancao, was actually originally "two people". When Princess Lin'an was pregnant, she was pregnant with a pair of twins, and the imperial doctor who gave her a baby was Peng Shi's grandfather Luo Juniper.
In the fifth month, Luo Juniper asked for peace and found that the princess was pregnant with two fetuses, and one light and one heavy, the heavy one took most of the nutrients of the placenta, and if the momentum continued, the light fetus died before it was born! Luo Juniper knew that Princess Lin'an was a yin person, and if she couldn't keep her fetus, she would invite terrible revenge, so Luo Juniper hung the lives of the two fetuses with miracle medicine and saved it until the time of birth.
But the two baby girls were born with congenital deficiencies, one of them died when he was raised for two months, and the one who survived was the lord of Xiancao.
Princess Lin'an was furious about the dead baby, and secretly executed ten nurses and maids, Xu was injured by the Yin Crane, and since then, the county lord of Xiancao has been asleep for a long time, twelve hours a day, and when he is awake, he adds up to less than an hour, and people are nicknamed "sleeping beauty" behind their backs.
The princess has always wanted to cure her daughter's illness, but all the imperial doctors have seen it and said that it is not a disease, but a fire poison brought out of the womb, which has burned the water below, and the yin is extremely weak, so it will be particularly sleepy. At that time, the national teacher Qi Jing also divined the hexagram to the county lord, accounting for the lack of water in the five elements of the county lord, and the extreme drought, so he had to be pressed with treasures that were stained with water. The princess managed to get a lot of rare treasures, which were decorated in the little lord's house, but they were not very useful.
Qi Jing also said that among the five elements, gold is born of water, water is born of wood, and the lord of the fairy grass is even wrong, she is already very short of water and has no power to grow trees, how can she still be called "fairy grass", where does she get the water to water the fairy grass?
However, "fairy grass" is the title of the county lord, and it was given by the emperor with a stroke of the imperial pen, and it has to be called for life, and there is no reason to change it. Not all the granddaughters and granddaughters of the emperor are fortunate enough to be crowned county lords, and this county lord is still Princess Lin'an's efforts and means to make her daughter be crowned as soon as she is born, and it is too late to regret it at this time.
So, Qi Jing came up with an idea for Princess Lin'an, found the best goldsmith in the world, and built a unique golden lock in the water year, water moon, and water day, and engraved the birthday of the county lord on the gold lock.
Coincidentally, not long after, the first Persian craftsman Dajieli came to the Central Plains, and the itinerary was to stay only for three days before leaving, just passing through the Central Plains, and taking a boat to Dongying.
Princess Lin'an was overjoyed when she heard the news, and offered 10,000 taels of silver to delay Dajieli's trip for a month and give her daughter the first golden lock in the world. Who knew that the famous craftsman was a high-minded person, and he looked down on vulgar silver tickets, and replied that although his monthly work hours were only worth 1,000 taels of silver, he never charged cash for the smell of copper, but for rare treasures of equal value. The worldly jewels, jadeite, and corals were all ordinary in his eyes, and they were not treasures.
The princess collected the treasures of the mansion in front of Dajieli's eyes, and the other party didn't even raise his eyelids. The princess also heard that the most precious thing in gold was red gold, and it was also a rare material for the big knoturi, who dealt with gold all day long. So she spent a lot of money to buy 300 taels of red gold from Sichuan Shu and transported it to Dajieli's residence.
Da Jieli said that he needed to think about it for a day before replying, because he had an urgent matter to go to Dongying, and the delay of a month had a great impact on him.
At this time, another lady in Beijing also heard the news that Dajieli had come to the Central Plains. The lady is holding a big belly for more than seven months, and the due date is also the fire year and the fire month, so she wants to find a good goldsmith to put an immortal lock on the fetus.
Her dowry consisted of thirty brocades, which were woven in an unprecedented weave, invulnerable, light and breathable, and had to be cut with diamond cuts. This brocade was a family heirloom given by Dade when her father was practicing medicine, and she was her father's most beloved daughter, so all the treasures in the family were packed into her dowry box.
As soon as Da Jieli saw that kind of brocade, his eyes immediately lit up, and he took over the work of this noble lady on the spot, and said that he only made precious gold objects in his life, and was regarded as the "first goldsmith", or he did not do it, and if he wanted to do it, he would make the best treasure. He made a decision on the spot that the two-month trip to Dongying was canceled, and Princess Lin'an's work was also canceled, and he worked behind closed doors wholeheartedly, and spent two months to make a rich and immortal lock that could really keep him safe.
As for the specific method of "keeping peace", the noble lady did not know, but at the request of Dajieli, she found a lot of patterns in the ancient books of the Central Plains to assist him in completing the lock. After it was done, although the lock only used one or two hundred or nine dollars of gold, it was a Seiko KitKat, which could dance with the noble lady's singing, and there were some other benefits.
Princess Lin'an was refused, and she was furious, and heard that Dajieli had taken someone else's job after pushing her, so she tried every means to ask who the employer was. As a result, because Dajieli knew how to keep secrets, until the end, the identity of the noble lady was not revealed.
Until He Angelica's mother, Luo Chuanxiong, put a golden lock on the little Angelica in public at the full moon banquet, no one present understood the value of the golden lock, nor did they know that the craftsman who made it was the famous Dajieli. A female guest saw that the delicate golden lock was really fond of it, and wanted to buy it for eight hundred taels of silver, thinking that it was very generous and generous, but she did not know that the actual value of the golden lock had exceeded eight thousand taels of silver, not to mention its hidden value.
On the other hand, King Yan, who went to the full moon banquet, took a fancy to the jade in the womb of the little angelica, and asked for it, but the mother of the little angelica was reluctant to give it away, but the unscrupulous father He Jingxian immediately took it to honor the king of Yan, and the king of Yan gave it to the lord of Xiancao. A miraculous thing happened, and the next day after the county lord put on the jade, he woke up and didn't sleep all day.
Princess Lin'an saw it in her eyes and was happy in her heart, and that piece of kodama was also regarded as the first treasure of the princess's mansion, and there was usually a special person responsible for taking care of and wiping it.
However, just after the end of this year's New Year, the meniscus-shaped jade suddenly disappeared. Sheng Yu's box was filled with a big black iron lock, and there was only one key, which was collected by Princess Lin'an herself, but suddenly one day, when the box was opened, she couldn't see the jade. Many maids have been tortured because of this, and all kinds of punishments have been used, and no one can say why.
At the same time, the county lord of Xiancao vomited and diarrhea, fell seriously ill, and added a strange problem, becoming a person with "two temperaments". In another temperament, she refers to herself as the twin baby girls who died that year, and behaves very differently from her usual self.
Princess Lin'an went to consult the national teacher Qi Jing again, Qi Jing said that the little master of the jade had an immortal golden lock, gold jade, gold jade, the two were originally a set, as long as the golden lock was found, not only can cure the county lord's illness, but also move a peerless relationship for the county lord.
Princess Lin'an was very happy to hear it, because she was not worried about the life-saving treasure jade of the lord of Xiancao County over the years, she had not been allowed to marry, and she had left her old before she knew it.
However, Yanwang Suoyu is already an old thing more than ten years ago, and now there are very few people who even know that He Jingxian's original wife is Luo Chuanxiong, let alone a thing that is so far away. The strangest thing is that King Yan, who was enthusiastic about sending jade back then, found him again to inquire about the owner of the piece of jade, and King Yan seemed to have "amnesia", shaking his head and not knowing when he asked.
Later, Princess Lin'an thought that the owner of the jade was always the people of the capital, this was what King Yan said back then, why not send a bounty list? There will be brave men under the reward!
Because of Qi Jing's sentence "The golden lock can move a peerless relationship for the county lord", there is a clause on the reward list that says that if the person who finds the golden lock is a child of a family with the same family background, age and appearance, the county lord will be married to him.
All of the above are the stories that Peng Shi told to He Angelica.
Peng Shi said that he was looking for the golden lock, and he bothered to find out the ins and outs of the whole thing, all because he wanted to be the guest of the Xiancao County Lord. Princess Lin'an is the emperor's favorite princess, and the lord of Xiancao is also a generation of beautiful women with excellent talents, and being able to give them a relationship will be of great help to his career.
He Angelica didn't believe Peng Shi's words, and according to what she knew about him, his ambitions and the city government were not limited to the extent of clinging to the imperial family and magnates. People like him should pursue absolute power, not simple glory and wealth......
"Knock knock!"
There was a knock on the door, He Angelica was in a daze at a pot of Junzi Orchid on the windowsill, and when he looked back, it was the Lord of Xiancao.
She was dressed in a five-color light veil, beautiful, standing at the door with a smile, and said generously: "I'm sorry for being half an hour late, Durian and Gu Tan have been pulling me to see the tricks, I saw that they were full of interest, and I couldn't bear to sweep their interest, so I dragged it here." ”
He Angelica let her sit down, turned around and boiled a pot of well water on the stove, and said with a smile: "What did the county lord say, I was ashamed to win the tea guessing game last time, but the reward of that game stumped me." I don't know everyone well, unlike you who are used to playing, and I don't know what kind of requirements meet the word 'difficult', and I don't offend people when I say it, and finally think about it, or invite the county lord of Xiancao to come to me for a cup of tea, and to talk, it is the most appropriate. ”
When she turned around again, she was already holding a pot of small Lu incense tablets and two crystal clear jade cups in her hand.
The county lord of Xiancao smiled in surprise and surprise: "What a fragrant pot of tea!" I didn't expect Qingning to be so good at your tea art, and the tea you brew is more mellow than the master who taught me tea art! ”
He Angelica smiled faintly, pushed the jade cup in front of the Xiancao County Lord, and said humbly: "It's just that I usually drink too much tea, and I have a little bit of experience." The tea leaves and water are very ordinary, and you can taste the fairy grass if you can eat it. As he spoke, a stream of crystal water poured out of the spout.
The county lord of Xiancao cooked tea with both hands, sniffed intoxicatedly, Fang showed a smile to He Angelica, and said very kindly: "My milk name is 'Miao Miao', everyone calls me that, Qingning, you also call me Miao Miao." My mother didn't allow others to call me 'Xiancao', and once punished her heavily for a girl who shouted wrong. ”
