Chapter 246: Burial Jade (II)

Of course, the county lord will not tell Yu Qi what the burial jade incense is, in addition to being embarrassed, he is also worried that it will be glorious all over the world and will cause disputes.

When Yu Qi and Zisu helped to resurrect and relieve the siege, the county lord had rushed from Chengfu Yuan to Phoenix Pavilion.

The burial place of the Phoenix Pavilion.

The so-called burial jade is to bury the best jade in the soil, so that it can absorb the essence of heaven and earth, so that it becomes more and more warm and brilliant. This method followed the Han dynasty. It is said that Mrs. Qi was pampered and took away the heir, and she tried her best, and Liu Bang, the king of Han, loved her deeply and wanted to modify the rules for her to abolish the prince; Yili Qi's son Ruyi was the crown prince, but unfortunately Empress Lu and the ministers of the court strongly opposed it, and the king of Han was persuaded to change Liu Ying, the son of Empress Lu, to the crown prince. King Han died, the crown prince Liu Ying ascended the throne, and Empress Lu became the queen mother.

If Mrs. Qi's actions had won the world, what would be the situation of Empress Lu? Win and lose, that's true. After Empress Lu took over the world, she took revenge on Mrs. Qi, which led to a tragic historical event. Before the "Ren Bi", Empress Lu asked Mrs. Qi to wear heavy jade to go to Yongxiang to cook rice, and the noble lady was a laborer, which was shameful enough, but for the last trace of imperial hope, Mrs. Qi was reluctant to breathe and endure in every possible way; So, Mrs. Qi made a plan, taking the collision of beautiful jade on her body as fun, and singing grievances every day, wanting to inform the world and expose Empress Lu's vicious heart.

After Empress Lu found out, she secretly sent someone to arrest Mrs. Qi, trap her in a clay pot, cut off her hands and feet, and immerse herself in a human being. In the clay jar, in addition to the venom that makes people unable to live and die, countless luxurious and beautiful jade are also filled, which is said to protect the last trace of glory of Mrs. Qi. After Mrs. Qi died, Empress Lu ordered someone to bury the jar under the cinnamon tree. A few years later, the harem of the Han family was in turmoil, and some people remembered that there was a treasure under the ground where Mrs. Qi was buried, so they dug it out. Sure enough, I got a batch of peerless jade.

The sun and the moon are like a shuttle, the years have evolved, and later people have said that as long as the jade is immersed in the flesh and blood, it can become an ancient treasure, therefore, people who are good jade, everyone wants to follow the example of the ancients to make jade, so good that it is a peerless rarity. However, in the legend, it is buried with "human biao", who dares to do this in reality? The law does not allow it, and the way of heaven does not allow it! This is the saying of "burying jade", burying the treasure jade in the ground, allowing it to absorb the essence of heaven and earth, and over time, it can also become a peerless treasure. It's the same thing.

At the beginning, the county lord married into the Zhuang Mansion, and the mother's palace was married with countless gold, silver and jewelry, because the queen mother pointed out the marriage, the queen mother also rewarded a lot of treasures and dowry, the county lord thought, it is not safe to put it in the house, it is better to pick some out and give it away, and then pick some out and press it outside, and keep it at home. A large part of this batch of high-quality products is jade, which she celebrities picked out and put into the box separately. At that time, there was an old woman with me, who knew a lot of experience, and when she heard the rumor of "burying the jade and dipping the treasure", she proposed it to the county lord. When the county lord heard this, he immediately sent her to remove Meiyu and bury her.

The old lady said to the county lord: "The door-to-door intercom matches, the county lord is marrying, and there is a lot of glory in front of him, who knows if the wealth will be there tomorrow?" This move should be used as a way out for yourself for tomorrow. ”

The location of the burial jade was finally set in the Phoenix Pavilion; In fact, buried here, the county lord is not at ease. The old lady also suggested that the Buddha statue could be cast in the Phoenix Pavilion to warn the villains not to do evil, and she could go to visit from time to time. This is the story of the Buddha statue of the Phoenix Pavilion.

Because it is said that the Mid-Autumn Festival pays tribute to the palace, it is a necessary gift every year. Every festival in the Zhuang Mansion, it is very hurried, and it is always afraid that the tribute will be criticized by the people, of course, because of the fear that the Lord will blame it. There are many things this year, and there is an encounter in the north, the eldest lord borrowed a lot of silver from the house, and now the empty treasury is shy, and the ceremony of entering the palace is naturally not as usual as in previous years. Finally purchased a batch of treasures, the second master and the Cao family hurriedly went to count, after reading it, they felt that the color was not exquisite enough, and then they remembered to let the county lord look at it. After all, the county lord is a royal noble, and with her instructions, you can save a lot of trouble.

originally said that he wanted to invite the county lord to come to Beifu to take a look, but recently, the county lord had a headache about Zhuang Jue's affairs, how could he invite her? said that the Cao family would bring someone to bring the treasure over, and the matter between the Cao family and the county lord was unpleasant one after another, and she didn't want to come to see the county lord. As a last resort, the second master called the housekeeper and rushed to Xifu to see the county lord together.

Dozens of treasures should be seen by the county lord one by one, and the rest of the treasures can be seen in good condition, but they are only jade, which is really shoddy and cannot be put on the table.

The second old man trembled and said to the county lord: "It really shouldn't be, earlier I thought in my heart that we should take the silver and buy a few less, just do the good ones." But the county lord knows that this year's season, all provinces and provinces are worried about this matter, how many treasures have been purchased, and how many good ones can be left every year! I bought these, I look very good, I'm afraid to send them in, people compare, we go down, the face of the matter is not tight, I am afraid of being implicated, isn't it because of a small loss. ”

The county lord was puzzled: "It's not good outside, there are old ones in our house to offset some, and I think they can deserve a year or two." ”

The second master sighed and looked at the housekeeper.

The housekeeper answered: "Mrs. doesn't know, the house is not the first prize in the palace?" In and out, it's all one thing, and I don't think it's very suitable. ”

The county lord said no more.

Through these words and deeds, the second master and the housekeeper could see that the county lord was very disgusted with treasures. So, he said that he would go out again to look for it, and hurriedly said goodbye.

As soon as the second master and the housekeeper left, the county lord instructed Jiangzhu and said: "The ones in the mansion can't be used, who are the four mansions counting on to make a move?" I see, let's do it! You take someone to the Phoenix Pavilion, find the cinnamon tree, dig it due south, and take out a box for me. ”

It's jade buried inside!

Regarding the burial of jade, the first old lady and a few old people did it, and after many years, the old lady and other people who did everything were gone, and these new girls naturally didn't know that there was such a clever thing.

Jiang Zhu was puzzled and asked, "Madam, what are you digging for?" ”

The county lord didn't reply very clearly, but said: "If you are told to do it, you will do it, you need to ask so much." Before digging, put on a handful of incense and candles, face south and bow three times, after the salute, move the hoe, but you have to remember accurately. Don't ask anything else, do what I say! ”

Jiangzhu didn't dare to say much, and led the order to take a few intimate girls to rush to the Phoenix Pavilion, and when she came out, she met Yu Qi and Zisu, and Yu Zhu also asked them what to plant, Jiang Zhu didn't dare to say nonsense, and vaguely responded to the past. When I arrived at the Phoenix Pavilion, according to the instructions of the county lord, I found the cinnamon tree, and sure enough, it was due south. The girls didn't dare to be lazy, and took turns to go up to help, digging a few feet deep, and didn't see anything, and continued to dig, still nothing, afraid that it was wrong, so I sent a little girl back to report, saying that I asked for instructions.

I heard the news, but the county lord didn't believe that he couldn't dig anything. When the jade was buried, the old lady did say that it was buried under the cinnamon tree in the south. The county lord was annoyed and blamed the girl for not being careful, and at this time, Fengxian came over with Zhuang Yu to ask for peace.

Seeing Fengxian, the county lord remembered the burial of jade back then, and Fengxian also went to the hoe with the old grandmother, so he retreated from the people and asked Fengxian: "Fengxian, do you still remember the burial of jade back then?" ”

Fengxian was surprised: "Mrs. doesn't ask, I really forgot." Why did you ask today? ”

The county lord looked at Zhuang Yu who was standing on the side, he was a little reluctant to mention it, but he didn't mention it, where to ask clearly, hesitated for a while, and said: "You went with the eldest grandmother back then, do you remember what direction?" ”

Feng Xian thought for a while and said, "It should be due south, we worship the south and push the north, and the south is precious." There's a cinnamon tree in that place! ”

The county lord said happily: "It's the Phoenix Pavilion, isn't it?" ”

Fengxian said, "Yes, madam." ”

The county lord snorted and said, "It must be that those girls didn't take it to heart and remembered the southeast and northwest wrongly!" Pointing at Zhuang Yu, he said: "I'll go out with your aunt, you don't need to follow, go see your brother!" Sister Qi of Jinghua Xie is here, talking over there! ”

Zhuang Yu was puzzled, but the county lord asked her to see her brother, and immediately showed joy, pulled Shang'er and left, as soon as the two left, the county lord immediately asked Fengxian to go to the Phoenix Pavilion to check and excavate the burial jade.

Aunt Fengxian asked the county lord, "Why did Mrs. remember to dig it up this time?" ”

The county lord lamented: "The old rules can't be put on the table, and the objects that enter the palace are not as good as the same." I can only move me, I'll give them up to fill the faΓ§ade! Don't dig at this time, wait for the official to seal the house? ”

Hearing the county lord say this, Aunt Fengxian understood why the county lord didn't let Zhuang Yu follow.

At present, Zhuang Yu and Fu'er walked to Zhuang Yu's courtyard house, entered the courtyard, and happened to reprimand the gold paper under the porch. When he saw Zhuang Yu, he hurriedly changed into a smiling face and came to greet him.

Zhuang Yu heard Zhuang Ying laughing in the house, she wanted to be a monster quietly, in order not to let the people inside find out, she hurriedly gave her a look and asked her not to make too much trouble. Suddenly, he closed his mouth and stood sideways, watching Zhuang Yu lead Shi'er close to the back room.

Zhuang Yu tiptoed into the door, and then walked inside, there was a curtain, she quietly hid by the door, listening quietly for a while.

Go down and listen to the first few people inside.

Yu Qi smiled and said, "Brother said that these strange and scary things, didn't you make them up?" I've never heard of it. ”

Zhuang Jue said: "I swear to God, what I told my sister is the truth, if there is a fabrication and lie, I will turn my flesh into mud and my bones into the mouth of the worm." ”

Yu Qi said: "It's not very important to make a good poisonous oath. ”

Zhuang Jue said: "It doesn't matter, but I really want to tell my sister, naturally true and true." I hope my sister believes me. ”

Yu Qi said repeatedly: "Believe in you, believe in you......"

The words did not stop, only heard the sound of "clacking lala" behind them, and several people looked back and saw Zhuang Yu lifting the curtain and coming in, followed by Fu'er.

As soon as Zhuang Yu entered the room, he smiled and said: "I'll listen to it too, see if I can believe it, and my brother will make up one for me to hear!" Could it be that my brother made up a fairy to cure the disease? Sister Qi is ready-made, so naturally I don't believe you. ”

As he spoke, Zhuang Yu walked towards Yu Qi with a light posture, and Yu Qi got up and took her hand. The two sat together.

Zhuang Yu hid the snake gall crystal and said, "Why is the fifth sister here?" ”

Zhuang Yu said: "Sister Qi can come, why can't I?" I heard that Sister Qi was here, and a fairy sent me a message, saying that he wanted me to come over and have a lively time with you, so that you two would not be lonely. ”

As they spoke, the brothers and sisters laughed.

After laughing, Zhuang Jue said: "It's not lonely, it's hot!" There is no need for the fifth sister to worry. We just said an interesting story, and your sister still doesn't believe it. You're just in time to help me testify. ”

Zhuang Yu said: "What's the matter?" ”

Zhuang Jue smiled and said: "Just now I told your sister Qi that there is no good jade in the world, but all the beautiful jade I see has been dyed with blood and has become refined, which is no longer considered to be the best natural quality." If you don't believe it, I'll explain it to her. ”

Zhuang Yu said: "What did you say? ”

Zhuang Jue said: "Fifth sister, do you still remember the big brother who cut the beads back then?" ”

Zhuang Yu frowned and twisted his face, hurriedly waved his hand, and said with a disgusting look: "This is nonsense again!" The old lady said that she was not allowed to mention it, why did my brother mention it again! He turned his head and grabbed Yu Qi and smiled: "Sister, don't listen to him." ”

Zhuang Jue said: "I told Sister Qi that in order to get a piece of blood jade, the eldest brother racked his brains to round the jade, cut a hole in his thigh and buried it, and almost lost a leg. Everyone in the house knows this. He said mysteriously: "There is a fifth sister who may have heard of it, but she may not know where the idea of the eldest brother to bury the beads comes from?" I've heard that it's all taught by those people down there! Not only the eldest brother believed it, but the second master also believed it. I heard that in the past, in order to get a good piece of jade, a group of old people were specially raised to wear sperm and blood, but who knows, the people who wore jade ran away and lost a lot of money. Later, some people said that it was all flesh and blood and warm jade anyway, so it was better to put the jade on the pigs, horses, cattle and sheep, and then cut holes in the animals, bury the pearl and jade in it, and then take it out after a few years, and then get the precious jade that is warm and moist into the blood. This is the story of the second master. He stretched out his face, pulled Yu Qi and Zhuang Yu, and said, "Our wife still has a way, which is called burying jade!" And nod your head to incense! Sister Qiao heard it. ”

Zhuang Yu pushed Zhuang Yu away, coughed twice, and said, "Brother is talking nonsense." I haven't heard any of these stories. He said to Yu Qi again: "Sister Qi, he made it all up." I thought that a god was made up to help him heal his wounds, and this turned out to be this! I can't hear it, and I can't let my wife know about it. ”

Zhuang Jue spread his hand, hung his head in frustration, and said, "I knew that I couldn't tell the truth, and I said that I would be scolded by you people." The fifth sister understands in her heart, but she dismantles my stage, knowing that I don't want to tell you! When I told Sister Qi the story, Sister Qi didn't believe it, so I didn't believe it. ”

Yu Qi covered his mouth and smiled: "It's unbelievable and unheard of." ”

Zhuang Jue said: "When I was a child, there was an old mother, she told me when she didn't pass away, saying that there is jade buried in our house, in the Phoenix Pavilion, specially for the gods, want to invite out, order incense candles, called burial jade incense." Of course, the fifth sister doesn't know about this. It's also good when I'm talking nonsense, anyway, I don't expect the fifth sister to believe me. ”

Just as he was saying this, Fusheng spread outside: "Mr. Yao is here to see the master." ”

When the brothers and sisters heard this, they quickly packed up their expressions and waited for Mr. Yao to come in.
