Chapter 224: The Bell

Zhu Xinghe nodded: "She left almost everything on her body to me." ”

Mrs. Wenren really raised her head suddenly: "What I gave her back then, did she also leave it to you?" ”

Zhu Xinghe frowned, but he was puzzled: "What is it?" Aunt Jiang left me two boxes of things! ”

Mrs. Wenren saw that Zhu Xinghe didn't look disgusted, so she continued: "There is a bell, have you seen it?" It shouldn't be a bell that can be seen in TECO, it looks like a thing of the Yi people. ”

She seemed a little embarrassed and embarrassed: "I know that if I meet you just to ask for something, it's a bit too much." But the bell is really important to me. Whatever you want me to trade for this bell, I'm willing! ”

She looked so urgent, but she really needed it.

In fact, Zhu Xinghe wanted to ask her, if it wasn't for wanting the bell, would she not plan to come back to see herself in this life?

But this question is still not asked.

Zhu Xinghe pretended to think about it carefully, and then shook his head at Mrs. Wenren firmly: "What Aunt Jiang gave me is mostly the clothes and jewelry she saved by herself and some monthly money. But I didn't see anything like a bell, and if Mrs. Wenren needed it, I could send the people of the Feng family what she left for me, and let Madame take a closer look. ”

Looking at the seriousness in Zhu Xinghe's eyes, Mrs. Wenren waved her hand a little frustratedly: "No need." It was all left to you by Aunt Jiang, and since you didn't see the bell, she should have just left the bell elsewhere or sold it. It's just that I can't find it. ”

Seeing her like this, Zhu Xinghe inevitably wanted to ask more: "Madame, don't blame me for talking too much, I just want to ask Madame, the bell...... What is it used for? If I could know, maybe I could also think of where Aunt Jiang would put the bell, wouldn't it? ”

In this regard, Mrs. Wenren seemed to be a little hesitant.

But she still glanced up at Zhu Xinghe, frowned, and said, "I don't know what the bell does exactly, it's just a thing of the Hu clan." And...... Your biological father is related. The general now wants to find your father, and the bell is the only token I can find your father. Without the bell, we'd be left without the slightest clue. ”

Father? Who is her father?

Zhu Xinghe looked at Mrs. Wenren, and Mrs. Wenren also seemed to see Zhu Xinghe's doubts, so she continued: "Your father is a merchant of the Hu clan, and at that time, I escaped from the palace and was afraid of being pursued by others, so I went all the way to the northwest. When I was dying of thirst on the road, it was your father who saved me. He had been in business for many years and had no time to marry a wife, and although I didn't like him, I was still committed to him. ”

In fact, Zhu Xinghe felt very strange, why did Mrs. Wenren take the initiative to talk about this?

But since she said it, Zhu Xinghe listened.

Then I heard Mrs. Wenren continue: "He is not good to me, he beats and scolds me at every turn, if I don't get pregnant soon, I'm afraid I'm afraid I'll leave long ago." After I got pregnant, I also thought about taking you away after giving birth to you. Who would have thought that when I was about to be born, I encountered a sand thief. ”

Speaking of the events of the year, Mrs. Wenren's face did not change and her heart did not beat, as if she had already let go of the past: "Your father died on the spot, and those thieves saw that I was pregnant, so they let me go." Then I went back to TECO, gave birth to you, put the bell in the swaddling clothes, handed you over to Fang Rong, and went to Penglai. ”

The years of the past can now be explained in one or two sentences.

Zhu Xinghe nodded, did not debunk the fact that she felt that Mrs. Wenren was cheating on herself, but just looked at Mrs. Wenren regretfully: "I have never seen any bells. I only know that Aunt Jiang was punished for a period of time because of the entire Huanyi Bureau, so she almost didn't even live her life. During that time, she entrusted her little father-in-law to go out and sell a lot of things, and the bell was among them. After all, for Aunt Jiang, she is responsible for the entire Huanyi Bureau. ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Wenren also sighed: "Even so, I'm afraid that looking for that bell now is like looking for a needle in a haystack!" ”

She glanced at Zhu Xinghe, then clapped her hands.

The door opened, and several maids rushed in.

They all held big boxes in their hands, put them in front of Zhu Xinghe, and opened the box, and Zhu Xinghe saw that the things contained in these boxes were not ordinary things!

The first box was simple, containing a box of gold bars. The one at the back had a box of pearls. The one at the back of the other, the transparent beads it contains, should be shark beads. The largest box at the back was filled with skein.

I won't talk about the things in the first two boxes, but the shark beads and skein are things that only Penglai has. In addition to the tribute paid to the imperial palace every year, even a huge Beijing cannot find so many shark beads and skein.

Looking at these good things, Zhu Xinghe raised his eyebrows slightly: "Madam, what do you mean?" ”

Mrs. Wenren stepped forward and looked at Zhu Xinghe with some apologies: "I was supposed to compensate Fang Rong, but now it's all in your hands." Don't refuse me, or I'll be annoyed for the rest of my life! I know that you don't have too much body on you as a palace maid. Even if Princess Yongle is very good to you, Fang Rong has left all her things to you, but you are going to be the princess of Han in the future, and the dowry naturally cannot be too shabby. ”

She closed the boxes one by one in front of Zhu Xinghe: "I will send these things to the Feng family and let Princess Yongle hand them over to you." It can be regarded as blocking the mouth of others, so as not to make people suspect you. In addition to these, there is a separate one for you, which has some shops and fields, but they are not near this central capital. You take it, it's the only thing I can give you now! ”

Trying to buy yourself a peace of mind with something like this? In her eyes, is the mother-daughter relationship such a cheap thing?

But since she gave it, Zhu Xinghe just accepted it: "Since that's the case, I'll take it." In the future, we will be clear, you don't need to feel much regret, and I don't care what kind of person you are. From now on, you are your Wenren wife, and I am my Zhu Xinghe, such an ending can always make you feel at ease, right? ”

Zhu Xinghe said these words in a cold tone, letting Mrs. Wenren know that in fact, she didn't accept these things because she liked them.

But Mrs. Wenren didn't know what to say, so she could only look at Zhu Xinghe and said cautiously: "If you have the whereabouts of that bell in the future, please be sure to tell me." ”
