Chapter 4: Love Letters
Wen Xiaomei smiled again: "Have you ever seen a concubine who returned to her mother's house to live in a woman's house, and whose step-room sent all the concubines to marry after passing the door?" ”
Tough, the Wen family's girl is really tough, Wen Zhu is speechless, is this still a feudal society? Or is this actually a feminist society?
Seeing Wen Zhu's relief, Wen Xiaomei's smile became brighter and brighter, a mouthful of white teeth shone brightly, and she took out a letter from her sleeve, "Sister, it's better to be healthy and recuperate, someone is worried about it." ”
Seeing Jinbao come in with a food box, Wen Xiaomei gently stuffed the letter under the quilt, and deliberately raised her voice and said, "I'll go first, and my sister will pass me on if she has something." He pointed to the letter under the bed, hid his face and chuckled, and drifted away.
Wen Zhu was already numb, and the girl of the Wen family gave herself too much surprise, so Wen San, who was looking for death, did not seem to be the daughter of the Wen family. Pinching the letter under the quilt, Wenzhu has a hint of enlightenment, perhaps, all the answers are here.
Wen Zhu didn't care about the heat, drank the bird's nest in a few sips, and sent the little maid to carry water to wash. I pulled out the letter from under the quilt, approached the candlelight, and saw a few big words on the envelope: Bamboo Sister Opened Himself.
Unfolding the letter, what caught my eye was a square hand, densely written all over the entire letter paper:
"Yesterday, I was shocked to hear about the feat of the bamboo girl, and I was shocked, surprised, sad, hurt, and hated to replace it. I hope that the bamboo sister is good at cultivating herself, so don't contradict Lord Lingzun again. How can those who have a skin on their bodies not cherish their parents?
When I first saw the bamboo sister, I talked elegantly, and I had a good feeling, the bamboo sister was sensitive and studious, I was very comforted, and I stayed with each other for a long time, and felt the wisdom of the bamboo sister, and I fell in love with it more and more. However, there is already a bad wife in the family, and I can't bear to marry the young lady, so I can't bear to think about it in my heart, and I only do the things of teaching, and I don't think about it anymore.
Even the bamboo sister grinds and lays paper for Xiaosheng every day, Qin Se is in the palace, and said: I am willing to follow the example of the queen of Na'e, and I only wish to accompany the king for a long time, and it is good to be quiet. My heart is shocked, and the bamboo sister loves her, but I am ashamed to accept it.
Xiaosheng has this heart, the sky can be expressed, I will propose to Lord Lingzun in the near future, and if I want Lingzun to be a reasonable person, I will not allow it. Bamboo sister and treat me with good news. ”
The inscription is Xiao Sa's handwriting.
Xiao Sa? Go to Xiao, it's almost stupid to be left, Wen Zhu's face is iron-blue, teacher-student love, a married man, or take the initiative himself...... I was extremely depressed, and I didn't know if I could sue him for abducting an underage girl.
This Xiao Sheng sent the letter directly through Wen Xiaomei, and he was familiar with the road, obviously it was not the first time, there must be other letters, Wen Zhu frowned slightly, and the letter paper in his hand became tighter and tighter, crumpled into a ball.
After a while, his brows stretched out, and Wen Zhu quietly picked up the cold smoke sarong, put the letter into the candle flame, and lit it. When Jinbao came back, he happened to see a room of fly ash, and he didn't wait for Wenzhu's orders, so he took a feather duster and dusted it lightly.
The other slightly older maid is not very old, and she is also handsome, with a face, which is the one who boiled the medicine to attract wealth. But she was a careful girl, the medicine was not very bitter, with a hint of sweetness, I thought it was honey.
Wen Zhu drank the medicine and asked as if unintentionally, "Zhaocai, how many years have you been with me?" ”
Zhao Cai replied respectfully: "Back to Miss, it has been eight years since the slave maid entered the hospital at the age of seven. ”
"Eight years..."Wen Zhu pondered for a long time, and then said: "You go and bring the box where I usually put my jewelry." ”
Zhaocai undoubtedly has it: "Miss's jewelry has always been collected by Li's mother, can I call Li's mother?" ”
Wenzhu: "...... Good. ”
In the middle of the night, Li Ma opened the curtain and came in, Zhaocai followed behind, holding a sandalwood box in her hand, smelling a fragrance from afar, the box was carved with dragons and phoenixes, the four corners were wrapped with gold leaf, the dragon head and phoenix head cleverly converged at one point, and a small and exquisite jade lock was hung on it.
Mother Li didn't remember many things about Wenzhu, and opened her mouth to say: "This box was left by Mrs., and the young lady was still young at that time, so the old slave tied a rope and hung the key around the young lady's neck." ”
Wen Zhu looked down, and there was indeed a red rope hanging around his neck, and when he pulled it out, it was a delicate ornament, a jade pendant carved into the shape of Pixiu. If you don't say it, who would have thought that it would be a key.
Opened the lock, take it in your hand and play carefully, see that the lock is also extraordinary, the yang pattern on it is the dragon, the yin pattern is the phoenix, the candlelight shines, the dragon and the phoenix sing, the end is very delicate.
Holding the jade lock in his left hand, opening the lid of the box with his right hand, the house was suddenly full of jewels, one of the beads the size of a baby's fist was particularly eye-catching, and when he took it out, the room lit up for three points again, Wen Zhu said in his heart: I didn't expect the night pearl to really exist.
Holding the bead in his right hand, he refused to let go, but only glanced at the rest of the jewelry with his eyes, there was a hairpin head phoenix made of pure gold, with hair-thick feathers, wings ready to fly, but the tail feathers were several strings of white pearls of equal size, and a crystal clear ruby at the eye, the head feather was still wrapped in gold wire, and the top was divided into three wings, each of which was inlaid with an oval sapphire.
There is also a set of black pearl jewelry, including earrings, necklaces, bracelets, waist chains, and foot chains.
The emerald ring, the size of a thumb, is bright and dripping; The ring of the cat's eye, held in his hand, shone at the light, and the pupil in the middle of the cat's eye shrank into a line; A pair of jade and jade bracelets, without any carving, are integrated, and it seems that this bracelet has been the appearance since ancient times.
There are a number of beads of various colors, the material is not so precious, it is better than the realistic, Mei Lan chrysanthemum, it seems to be exuding bursts of fragrance, as well as the peony of the city, the blooming rose, the elegant hibiscus, the flowers are gorgeous, each good at fragrance.
The two jade pendants, which look old, still have a little bloodstains, will not be the burial of the ancients, Wen Zhu gently took it out and put it aside.
There are still a number of necklaces with earrings of various colors, none of the colors and materials are repeated, or stable and vigorous, or clear and free, according to the season and occasion in the small grid.
And that's just the first layer.
Wen Zhu carefully took the pearl of the night into his arms and brought out all the jewelry together.
On the second floor, there are only a few playthings, one of which is a nine-colored coral that is only an inch tall, which is rare to naturally generate the appearance of a stag that is about to kick and jump, looking into the distance, as if searching for his mate;
Another Hetian jade Ruyi, starting with a piece of cool, the carving end is a ghostly workmanship, engraved with auspicious clouds and the queen mother's banquet immortal picture, the immortals are only the size of a grain of rice, but the expression on the face is clearly visible and lifelike;
The last jade watermelon, the skin of the melon is emerald green, there are dark green stripes, the melon has a small crack, the black melon seeds inside, and the red melon shadow is faintly visible.
Wen Zhu didn't know which one to grab first, so he simply put them in his arms and opened the last layer directly.
