Volume 1 Chapter 43 Jade Plaque
After the ceremony, it was time to open the house.
Although he was still resistant to Princess Zhaoyang's mansion, Wei Yu still didn't want to stay in the palace anymore.
First, the palace has a strict access control, inconvenient access, and the news is really closed, and secondly, there are many inconveniences between Wei Yu and Xiang Siyuan and the secret guards in the palace, and they are always constrained in doing things.
When it came to the period of moving the mansion, dawn has been very busy recently, and the affairs of Hanzhang Hall have to be delivered one by one, the things in the warehouse, the objects that Wei Yu is used to, and the transfer and arrangement of palace people...... The affairs are cumbersome and complicated, if it weren't for the fact that she has been a palace maid for many years, she is afraid that it will be difficult to cope with it for a while.
It would take a lot of effort just to count the items, and the old and new, whatever could be used, had to be registered and made so that they could be moved to the princess's mansion at that time.
Wei Yu is still very attached to Hanzhang Palace, in her previous life, she was tired of the constraints in the palace at this time, and she didn't have too much nostalgia when she left, and it wasn't until she couldn't enter the palace anymore that she began to regret it.
Now I'm leaving.
She got up early these days, and she couldn't wait to be by the Queen Mother's side for twelve hours a day, although the Queen Mother was also very coquettish with her, but it was too clingy and a little annoying to her, and she wished she would get out of the palace early.
The war in the northwest is ready to start, the actions of foreign races are more frequent, and Emperor Cheng has been very busy recently, but at this time, there is a spring drought in Guanzhong.
Guanzhong is fertile for thousands of miles, is the main production area of Dayin's grain, although the beginning of March has not yet reached the busy agricultural season for sowing, but at this time the drought still makes people worry.
The people gradually said that this was a bad omen, making people panic, and Emperor Cheng stayed in the Qianyuan Hall for several days and never came out.
Wei Yu went to deliver soup and water a few times, every time no matter what time he went, Emperor Cheng was discussing with the courtiers, and Wei Yu had to leave something to tell the palace people to remember to remind Emperor Cheng to use some and not to be tired.
Because of some small changes in military affairs, Gu Jiaqing has been entering the palace from time to time recently, and Wei Yu has not found an opportunity to be tempted.
She couldn't tell if she was nervous or relieved, and she also felt a headache about the confrontation with Yu Gu Jiaqing.
When such an extremely troublesome and almost inexplicable matter was placed in front of her, she could not help but feel a little daunted.
For Gu Jiaqing, her mood is very complicated.
No matter what the purpose, whether it is public or personal vendettas, in his previous life, he was the leader of the rebel army who led the army to attack the palace, and he was the enemy who put her under house arrest for seven years, so it stands to reason that she should hate him and want to kill him.
If he is thirteen years later, the deep hatred between the two is rooted in his heart, and the solution cannot be solved.
It just so happened that Qilinwei had just arrived in her hands, and Gu Jiaqing had returned to Beijing alone, so killing him at this time was the best time.
However, although Wei Yu repeatedly suspected that Gu Jiaqing was also reincarnated, there was no real evidence, nothing had happened in this life, and Gu Jiaqing even saved her life, wouldn't it be revenge to kill him so hastily.
And her jealousy of Gu Jiaqing is deep in her bones, and she always feels that killing him will not be so simple.
She has the heart of an ostrich that can drag on day by day, even if she knows in her heart that this meeting is always imperative, as long as she doesn't expose it herself, she just treats this person as if it doesn't exist.
"Your Highness, this place is gray, why don't you sit and rest in the temple?"
In the warehouse of the side hall of Hanzhang Palace, Wei Yu wandered around the house idly, watching the dawn and counting the inventory.
"It's boring to sit idly. Do your thing, and leave me alone. ”
As she walked, she rummaged through the contents of the house, this storeroom was used to store her old childhood things, most of which were old, and she could no longer use them, and the house had not been entered for a long time, and there was a thick layer of dust everywhere.
She turned out the small wooden horse she played with in her childhood, the nine consecutive rings, the old chessboard used when she first learned chess, and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone when she learned to write big characters...... There was a room full of miscellaneous.
After she leaves, Hanzhang Hall will be retained, and when she returns to the palace in the future, she will occasionally need to come here to stay.
These are still to be left in the hall of the chapter, so they must be recounted and registered one by one.
She watched and watched, watching the palace people move out of the innermost cage, the box was made of mahogany, carved with the festive Eight Treasures Ruyi pattern, the copper lock box was already covered with rusty green, and the wood was also full of dust, and she knew how old it was at a glance.
Wei Yu was stunned, she seemed to have never seen this box.
Even the lady in charge of the palace at dawn felt very angry, "When did we have such a box in the palace?" What's in it? What about the keys? ”
The guards of the treasury picked up a long bunch of keys in their hands and tried them one by one, but none of them could be opened.
There are no keys.
That's a rarity.
The palace people who packed up their things were also very surprised.
"What is locked so tightly, is it still something valuable?"
"The valuables in the warehouse have to be counted regularly and moved to the warehouse, if there are really precious things, how can they be pressed at the bottom of the box until now?"
Wei Yu looked at the old copper lock on the box, and saw that it was at least an old object from more than ten years ago, and suddenly became a little curious.
"Pick the lock open and see." She commanded.
A short time later, a little eunuch took a slender iron needle, and smashed it against the cylinder of the brass lock, and soon the lock was opened.
Everyone's curiosity was also aroused, and their necks stretched out.
"Sister Dawn, open it quickly!"
"yes, open it and take a look!!"
Someone urged impatiently.
Wei Yu smiled and listened to their babbling without making a sound, but his eyes also looked at Dawn's hand.
"A group of leather monkeys, I don't see you so attentive to work on weekdays." Dawn smiled and snorted, and lifted the lid of the dusty cage with her backhand.
There is no piece of jewels in the cage they imagined, only a few tiger hats, swaddling cloths, hundred clothes, small belly pockets and other baby wearing objects, more than ten years ago style, can see that the material is good, but because it is too old, the eyes have faded.
Looking at the regulations, I am afraid that it is something prepared by Wei Yu when he was born, and I don't know who was carelessly pressed in the depths of the warehouse, and no one has paid attention to it since then, and it has been left until now.
The expectant gaze of everyone turned to disappointment for a moment.
"What, what do you think it is...... someone muttered in a low voice, and was pulled by his partner next to him, only to remember that Wei Yu was also here.
Although Wei Yu usually has a bad temper, she has always been kind to the palace people, and the palace people are not very afraid of her.
Wei Yu didn't want to be as disappointed as others, she still felt quite novel to see what she used when she was an infant.
The 100 clothes and hoods she wore back then have long been so old that they don't know where they have gone.
She squatted down and flipped through it, most of them were clothes, as well as one or two gold lock collars and other trinkets, and a cage was piled up, which was very complete, and you could see the intentions of the person who prepared these things, and I don't know who prepared them.
She looked at it the same, slowly flipped to the bottom, and even took out a white jade plate with a double fish pattern of mutton fat and jade the size of half a palm.
The jade plate tentacles are warm and well-made, she touched the grooves on the pattern, felt very familiar for a while, thought for a while, and suddenly asked Dawn: "I remember that I also brought back a white jade plate not long ago, where is it now?" ”
She remembered that Xiang Siyuan had also used a jade plate with a Pisces pattern to show her sincerity that day, and Wei Yu originally wanted to find a suitable time to return it to him after the matter was completed, so she asked Dawn to keep it.
"The cage that is in the temple has been collected." Dawn replied.
Wei Yu recalled the appearance of this jade plaque in his mind, and still felt that it was a coincidence, so he said, "Go and get it for me to see." ”
Dawn immediately put down the work in his hand and ran out, and soon brought back a white jade plaque with a light green tassel.
Wei Yu compared the results, and put it in his hand for a while.
Although the jade quality of the two jade plaques is very similar, and the carving is also extremely high-quality, the patterns are not the same, and there is no similarity at all.
She laughed, "It seems to be just a coincidence." ”
Although such a jade plate is rare, it is not impossible to find a better one in the Hanzhang Palace, and everyone sighed in disappointment.
Wei Yu stood up, patted the dust on his dress, and said: "Since the things in it have not been registered before, then I won't remember it this time, it is not a valuable thing after all, lock the lock, where did it come from, let it go back." ”
"Yes." The palace people did as they were told.
Wei Yu silently returned to the dormitory, bypassed the partition screen and opened the bead curtain, came to the unmanned dresser, took out two jade pendants, and carefully compared the patterns on them.
Looking at it, she suddenly found the trick, stacked the two jade cards together and reversed the angle, stuck in a certain place and spun.
The hollow patterns on the cards are nested within each other and become one.
It's a thing.
Wei Yu's heart jumped, and he looked carefully at the patterns on his head in the sunlight, and he could vaguely see a roaring, cloud-driven divine beast.
It's just that the body of the divine beast is hollow, and I can't tell what it is for the time being.
It seems that it is not complete, and this jade plate is still missing.
Wei Yu's hand tightened, and her intuition told her that this must be something very important.
She still remembered when Xiang Siyuan gave her the sign, saying that it was the relics of Mrs. Xiang, that is, her grandmother.
Although he has rarely had contact with the people in the Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion for many years, and has never seen the grandmother of Mrs. Xiang, Wei Yu also knows that the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion was also the mainstay of the 24 Marquis of the founding of the country, and it only began to decline after the death of the foreign lease more than ten years ago.
Her maternal ancestor fought on the battlefield all his life, and retreated more than 1,000 miles to the north with Emperor Wu's westward expedition to the north, expanding the territory of Dayin by one-third, and making immortal achievements.
Her mother is the young wife of her father, and she has a deep relationship with her father, and the Xuanhe of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion is far better than the current Jiang family.
Died unfortunately because of Wei Yu's dystocia, these years in the palace for fear of arousing Emperor Cheng's sadness, rarely mentioned her mother, and even almost taboo, Wei Yu has never seen anything left by her mother.
Since the things in this box can be combined with the things of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, could it be related to her mother?
With such exquisite workmanship and mechanism, what is this brand for?
While thinking about it, I suddenly heard a report from outside the hall, it was Qiu Ling's voice, "Your Highness, Concubine Xian Niangniang has come to see Your Highness." ”
Wei Yu retracted his thoughts and raised his voice: "I know, please come to the palace and wait, and the palace will come." ”
After hiring a doctor for Concubine Xian that day, the relationship between Wei Yu and Concubine Xian gradually became familiar, and her illness slowly cured, not only did not leave any root cause, but she was well recuperated, and she was no longer weak from time to time.
Later, Concubine Shu was beaten into the cold palace, and the number of virtuous concubines in the palace was the most senior, and the matter of being in charge of palace affairs was naturally handed over to her.
I don't know if it's because of the grace of saving her life, she seems to like Wei Yu very much, and she sends people over to ask for warmth and send some things, and often comes to talk to Wei Yu when she is free.
Wei Yu is naturally very happy to see her, although she is not lacking in love when she is young, but Concubine Xian takes care of her like a mother, which she has never had in her life, if she was fifteen years old in her previous life, she is afraid that she will be more moved.
She found a handkerchief and wrapped the two jade plates, raced into the deepest part of the drawer under the makeup and locked them, and then said with a full sleeve: "Here it is." ”
