Chapter Seventy-Eight: Token of Love
"We're already together, not counting." Fang Yunxiao looked up from the book and looked at Lin Wan'er funny, "What do you want to do?" ”
"This is my token of love for you!" Lin Wan'er spread out her hand, and there was a pocket watch lying in her palm.
"What is this?" Fang Yunxiao took it, "It's the first time I've seen it." ”
Objects made of silver, delicate and small.
"It's a pocket watch, and you can put something in it." Lin Wan'er said as she opened the pocket watch for Fang Yunxiao to see.
Fang Yunxiao saw Lin Wan'er's action of opening, and felt that this thing was exquisite, and when he looked at it again, there were characters and silver needles that he couldn't understand on one side, and a piece of paper on the other.
"Hold the hand of the son and grow old with the son." Fang Yunxiao read out the words on the piece of paper, his eyebrows and eyes soft.
"Master, what about mine?" Lin Wan'er spread her hands, this pocket watch was the first gift she bought for herself, and she still carried it with her in the last days, but the battery was dead, and this pocket watch hadn't rotated for a long time.
And there were no photos in this era, so the side where the photos were put was used by her to put the pieces of paper where the love words were written.
After pondering for a long time, Fang Yunxiao took out a jade pendant from his arms and put it in Lin Wan'er's palm, "This jade pendant has been worn on my body since I was born, can it be worthy of a token of love?" ”
"Of course you can!" Lin Wan'er only felt that this jade pendant was cool at the beginning, and when she touched it again, it was warm and warm, just like Fang Yunxiao.
Seeing her happy, Fang Yunxiao's eyes were also full of smiles, he played with his pocket watch and asked, "Is this side covered with glass?" Such transparent glass is rare. ”
Lin Wan'er was about to say that this was glass, but in an instant, she thought that in ancient times, glass was indeed called glass, so she nodded.
"What is the use of this silver needle? And this symbol, which I have never seen. The more Fang Yunxiao asked, the more he felt that he had seen too little.
But when he was young, he was a prince, and later he was a prince, and the treasures he saw were innumerable, and the word "less knowledge" was really difficult to use on him.
"This thing is called a pocket watch. This silver needle is the pointer, which was originally moving. Lin Wan'er explained, "This number is called Arabic numerals, which has the same meaning as our one, two, three, and one, that is, it is easier to write." ”
Hearing this, Fang Yunxiao was even more surprised, "And such a simple number? If it is used on the ledger, it is much simpler. ”
Lin Wan'er's eyes moved, she actually forgot about this stubble.
Wouldn't the ledger be simple and clear if modern bookkeeping methods were used until now?
"Master, I didn't even expect it!" Lin Wan'er boasted.
"You're a fan of the authorities." Fang Yunxiao chuckled and continued to ask: "This so-called pocket watch is used to watch the time, right?" ”
The hands and numerals are similar to those of a sundial.
"Master is smart!" Lin Wan'er smiled and said, "This pointer would have turned to the corresponding number according to the passage of time, but there was a problem with a small part inside, and the pointer didn't move." ”
In this era, there is no electricity, and Lin Wan'er doesn't know how to explain the lack of electricity, so she simply says that there is a problem with small parts.
"It's a pity." Fang Yunxiao showed regret on his face, "Such a delicate and transparent glaze, if it is intact, it will be priceless." ”
Lin Wan'er smiled, and said in her heart that if there is electricity, it will do.
"Wan'er, you have extraordinary knowledge, and you can take out many precious things but you don't care......" Fang Yunxiao paused and continued: "It's not a real peasant girl, right?" ”
Lin Wan'er's heart tightened and she didn't speak.
Seeing that she seemed a little nervous, Fang Yunxiao explained: "It's not that I suspect you or are calculating anything, it's just that you and I are ...... now I want to know more about you. ”
Sharp-eyed to notice that Fang Yunxiao's ears were red, Lin Wan'er couldn't help laughing, "I know, master doesn't have to be so nervous." ”
After thinking about it, Lin Wan'er said: "I don't know how to tell you about this matter, it's amazing after all." When the time comes, I'll explain it to you. ”
"I never wanted to hide it from you, and I never had to disguise myself as her."
It is too bizarre to go through this kind of thing, and the ancient people were extremely superstitious. If the identity she crossed over was discovered, I am afraid that she would think that she was possessed by a lonely ghost from somewhere.
Even Fang Yunxiao, in this kind of matter, she didn't dare to believe it completely.
And after listening to Lin Wan'er's words, Fang Yunxiao also understood that she was definitely not the real Lin Wan'er, but she didn't want to say it, so he didn't ask anymore.
Fang Yunxiao put the pocket watch into his arms, smiled lightly and changed the topic, "Wan'er, why did you suddenly remember the love token?" As he asked, his ears turned red again.
Lin Wan'er stared at Fang Yunxiao's reddened ears, only felt cute, and said with a smile that Lin Hongyan had received Ye Xiangxiang's red bean dice, and finally said: "You and I have already expressed our hearts to each other, so naturally we must have it." ”
"You." Fang Yunxiao smiled, his eyes full of doting.
"Hehe" The two talked for a while, and Lin Wan'er went back.
But at the entrance of Anxiang Village, the man got off the donkey cart and said to the woman beside him: "Jiuniang, this is our village." ”
Qiao Jiuniang nodded, and said coquettishly: "Zhao Lang, let's go home quickly, I want my mother-in-law and uncle to miss you!" ”
"Let's go!" The man nodded, drove the donkey cart, and took the woman by the hand into the village.
At this time, it was already night, and the villagers were almost resting, and there were two or three people outside, seeing the man and Qiao Jiuniang, thinking that whose relatives were coming, and they didn't care.
The donkey cart was driven to the door, and the man went to knock on the door.
"Mingtang, are you back?" Meng Dalian's voice trembled a little, these days, Zhao Mingtang likes to go out to drink more and more, and when she comes back drunk, she punches and kicks her, she shouts loudly, and she gags her mouth with clothes!
Outside the door, the man shouted, "Mother, it's me!" Bright! ”
In the courtyard, Meng Dalian's eyes widened when she heard a familiar voice and a familiar name, "Bright?!" She rushed over and opened the door, and there was her eldest son who she hadn't seen for many years!
"It's bright!" Meng Dalian cried and pounced on Zhao Mingliang, "Mother! You're alive! Where have you been all these years! I miss my mother! Woowoo woo ......"
Zhao Mingliang patted Meng Dalian's back and comforted: "Mother, isn't your son coming back?" My son also brought a good daughter-in-law back to my mother! He beckoned to Qiao Jiuniang.
Qiao Jiuniang stepped forward and bowed to Meng Dalian, "Concubine Qiao Jiuniang, I have seen my mother-in-law." ”
Looking at the delicate and beautiful woman in front of her, Meng Dalian was stunned, and said after a while: "Son, haven't you forgotten that you still have a ...... at home?"
"Mother, I will reconcile with her." Without waiting for Meng Dalian to finish speaking, Zhao Mingliang said unhappily: "She is an uneducated peasant woman, and she is not as good as Jiuniang." ”
"Yes...... She gave birth to three children! ”
