Chapter 19: Clues (Part 2)

Jiang Shilang is a man and doesn't care about these things, so he just nodded when he heard this, and said with a sad face: "Siniang is sensible." I just wish the family could think through this. ”

Cao Shi understood what Jiang Shilang meant.

If the Jiang family was smart, they could only bet on King Zhao now, after all, they had been preparing for so many years......

"Uncle, even if we want to send another Jiang family girl into the palace, we can only choose from the distant side branches, and we can't come from the fifth room of the Jiang family." Cao said with a smile.

"It's nature. That's what I thought, too. Jiang Shilang nodded again and again.

"Our Jiang family has five rooms, except for the fourth mother in our eldest room, who is of the right age but has not yet decided on a marriage, the other four rooms are not very old." Cao looked out the door implicitly.

The eldest concubine in the four rooms was only fourteen years old, and it was still too late to get married immediately.

The rest are under eleven years old.

No matter how powerful Emperor Xia Qi was, he did not dare to force a woman under the age of eleven to enter the palace to be elected.

Jiang Shilang sighed lightly, "We can understand these things at a glance, but others may not be able to understand them that way." ”

In the face of huge interests, many people's eyes will be blinded.

The reason why their eldest room can be stabilized is because Concubine Jiang Guifei is from the eldest room.

King Zhao also had the closest relationship with their concubine.

Whether the Jiang family's other rooms have other ideas, they don't know.

And they really can't have an opinion on this matter.

"Fortunately, we still have ancestors and old men in our family. If they can hold it down, we don't have to worry about it. Jiang Shilang thought for a while, and then put it down.

The letter has been sent back. All they can do is do their own things first.

Cao took the maid to the courtyard where Jiang Siniang lived.

The three girls of the Jiang family live in three small courtyards in the shape of a character behind their main house.

Jiang Siniang is the youngest. Lives in the southwest corner.

Cao walked lightly into her boudoir. Didn't let the maid pass it on.

Jiang Siniang sat behind the embroidery frame in front of the window, twisting the needle with one hand and leading the thread with the other, but her eyes looked at the scenery outside the window.

"Siniang......" Cao Shi stood at the door with a smile and called.

Jiang Siniang was startled, and when she turned around and saw that it was the Cao family who came, she hurriedly came over and hugged her arm, and said with a smile: "My mother walked without a sound, why did she come?" He said. Take Cao Shi and sit down in the house.

Cao Shi smiled, glanced at the flowers she embroidered, and sighed twice, "You have been embroidering for a few months, and you haven't even finished embroidering a flower bone." Your master in Jiangnan is going to see you, so I have to be angry and punish you. ”

Jiang Siniang was a little embarrassed to take a towel to cover the things on the embroidery frame, and said, "Mother, you also said that this is a dowry." The days are long, and it will be embroidered in the future. ”

Cao put away his smile and took her hand and sat beside him. He whispered, "It's not too early." Dad and Mom want to marry you earlier. ”

"Huh?" Jiang Siniang was a little flustered, "Earlier marriage?" I'm only sixteen! Both sisters are eighteen before they are married......"

"See the good. It's going to be decided right away. Cao didn't say much, but said: "Besides, the people in the capital are set early, and we can't delay it too much, lest all the good people be robbed." ”

Jiang Siniang originally wanted to refute two sentences, but after thinking about it, she felt that it made sense, and she was silent for a while.

"What's wrong with you lately? Always sullen in your room? Is this something on the mind? You can talk to your mother. Cao smiled and pinned Siniang's thin hair behind her ear.

Jiang Siniang opened her mouth, but finally swallowed, and said in a low voice: "I was scared by what happened in Dengjie that day......"

"Oh......" Cao Shi looked at her carefully a few times and didn't say anything more.

There was silence in the room.

Jiang Siniang hesitated for a long time and said, "Mother, two days later is the July 15th Midyear Festival." I think...... I want to go out with a few sisters to put river lanterns and spend the soul of the dead in Lantern Street that day. ”

The release of river lanterns on the Midyear Festival is also a traditional festival in Daxia.

"Still want to go out? You're not afraid? Cao asked with a grin.

Jiang Siniang smiled: "I'm afraid." Are you afraid that you won't go? Besides, since the accident on Dengjie, there have been more and more arrests in the capital, and it has become more and more difficult to get in and out of the city gate, so I don't think there will be another thing that happened last time. ”

Cao nodded, "That makes sense." That's it, my mother will take your sisters out for a walk. ”

"Really?!" Jiang Siniang was immediately overjoyed, hugged Cao's arm and shook it for a while, and then happily called the maid to come in and find her clothes to wear on the night of the Midyear Festival.

……

The Furong Willow Pavilion in the inner courtyard of the Shenjiang Mansion is the courtyard of Wu San's grandmother and Zhou Heizong, the third master of the Zhou family.

After dinner, Zhou Huaili took his two younger brothers to Furong Liuxie to greet his father and mother.

Grandma Wu San sat in the house eating tea alone with a bored face.

In the past, no matter where she went, she was surrounded by maids and mothers-in-law, busy with endless things, and endless accounts, although she was tired, she was full of energy.

Now that the power of the family is back in Feng's hands, she is empty.

"Mother." Zhou Huaili smiled and sat down in front of her, "What about Dad?" ”

The two younger brothers sat next to Zhou Huaili, smiling and chattering with Grandma Wu San about things outside.

Grandma Wu San finally showed a smile on her face.

"Your father, I've been digging into the pile of old papers lately. Holding books all day long, I spent a lot of money yesterday to buy a batch of rare books from Jiangnan, and I didn't even let go of the effort to go back to the inner courtyard, and studied in the small suite over there. Grandma Wu San pursed her lips, although her words were complaining, but her eyes were full of smiles.

Zhou Huaili knows that although his mother is in a hurry, she is an acute child, and her father is a chronic child, but the two of them are surprisingly compatible, and they are actually a rare loving couple.

"Dad has such an idea and hobby, mother, you can take care of it. Like my classmate Zhang Ming, his father's biggest hobby is to visit the Qinglou and drink flower wine......" Zhou Huaixin, the youngest, said with a smile.

Burst!

Grandma Wu San sprayed a skirt of tea, she hurriedly wiped it with a silk, and said angrily: "You kid, you are really bad at learning." Say anything. Your dad isn't that kind of unscrupulous person! ”

"Say what? Laughing so happily? "The third master of the Zhou family, Zhou Sizong, heard it in the small suite, and he was happy here. I couldn't help but ask.

Grandma Wu San beckoned. "You're here to talk to the kids. I'm going in and changing my clothes. "The tea squirted her skirt dirty.

Zhou Sizong had no choice but to walk out, sit next to Grandma Wu San, and nodded to his three sons with a smile.

Zhou Huaizhi is also a person who likes to read, and when he heard that his father had bought another batch of rare books, he couldn't help but itch his hands and asked, "Dad, what books have you bought?" And a book you haven't read? ”

Zhou Sizong has used hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to buy books over the years. In ordinary people's homes, they definitely can't afford to support such a luxurious hobby as him.

But he is the third master of the Divine General's Mansion, and he married the daughter of the God of Wealth Wu, and if he is rich, he is capricious, of course he can buy whatever he wants.

"There are so many books in the world, how can I have read them all? - But this time, it's well spent. I guess that when I finish reading them all, the mystery that has entangled me for more than ten years should be solved. Zhou Sizong stroked his beard with satisfaction and said.

"Oh? Is that amazing? Zhou Huaixin was curious. Can you show us? ”

Zhou Sizong shook his head, "No." There was a pause. And he said, "I'll show you when I'm done." Otherwise, I'm worried I'll lose it. He smiled mysteriously.

Zhou Huaizhi and Zhou Huaixin were young, and they couldn't sit still after saying a few words, and quickly said goodbye and left.

When Grandma Wu San came back after changing her clothes, she saw that only her eldest son Zhou Huaili was sitting there talking to Zhou Sizong, and said with a smile: "Those two boys ran away?" ”

"They're young, and they think they're sleepy." Zhou Huaili said with a smile.

Grandma Wu San nodded, sat down beside Zhou Sizong, and asked him, "Why did you spend so much on this batch of books?" ”

Grandma Wu San has always been a careless person, and even she said that she spends a lot, so it is really a lot.

Zhou Sizong looked around, and saw that everyone was waiting outside, and there were only three of their closest relatives in the room, so he lowered his voice and said: "You don't know, I bought this batch of books from the place where the light of day is gone." As he spoke, he made a gesture of digging out of the soil.

Grandma Wu San and Zhou Huaili were taken aback.

"Dad, you mean, you bought it...... Buried in the ground? ”

That is, burial goods.

Zhou Sizong nodded a little embarrassedly, "No way, I can't help it." I searched all the books, but I couldn't find any clues. Later, after thinking about it carefully, maybe there were clues to the books of ancient times ago, or even the previous dynasties, so I began to ask people to release words and buy books in this area. ”

"Huh? Others don't know it's the Divine General's Mansion, right? Grandma Wu San asked nervously, worried that the reputation of the Divine General's Mansion would be damaged because of this.

Zhou Sizong shook his head again and again, "Of course no one knows. But," he said triumphantly, "it was the right one." I've seen some light and hints from at least two books. ”

"What the hell is going on? God babble. Grandma Wu San muttered dissatisfiedly.

Zhou Huaili looked at his father Zhou Sizong with a smile and said nothing.

Zhou Sizong laughed twice, then lowered his voice and said, "...... The eyes are reappeared, and the saints are out. Don't you want to know what the last two sentences are? ”

"You got it?!" Grandma Wu San's eyebrows jumped heavily and looked at Zhou Sizong.

Zhou Huaili's face also became stern.

"Not yet." Zhou Sizong shook his head regretfully, "But I think it's almost over." When I've finished reading all these rare books from the underground, there should be at least a clear clue. ”

"Cut, so you're still figuring it out for yourself!" Grandma Wu San shook her head disdainfully, "Forget it, you better go read your book!" ”

Zhou Huaili's heart moved, remembering Wu Chanjuan's heavy pupils, he also stood up, and said with a smile: "I won't bother my father and mother." Rest early. With that, he also said goodbye and left.
