Chapter 255: Does anyone know the origin of this bronze mirror?
"Looking in the mirror? What is the Demon Mirror? ”
Wu Ze couldn't help but be stunned when he listened to the baby girl's words.
Xu Jiaying accosted at this time.
"That thing is my family heirloom, a dowry given to me by my mother when I got married."
"Xiaomeng has always had nightmares during this time, but it's strange to say, holding that mirror, she can sleep peacefully, so I gave it to her."
Xiaomeng shook his head beside him, and responded solemnly, "That's not an ordinary mirror, my mother said it's a demon mirror." ”
"Yes, it's the Demon Mirror!"
Xu Jiaying reached out and touched Xiaomeng's head.
The so-called demon mirror is just the words she said to comfort Xiaomeng.
She didn't care about it herself, but she didn't expect the little girl to take it seriously.
But it's not a big deal.
As long as Xiaomeng is okay, that's fine.
Wu Ze listened to it in his heart, he really didn't know anything about being a father.
"Can we take a look at this demon mirror?"
Jiang Qi spoke at this time.
Wu Ze was stunned when he heard this, although he didn't understand why Jiang Qi asked this, he still agreed happily.
Xu Jiaying returned to the room and retrieved a mirror.
That's a bronze mirror!
There is a dragon and phoenix pattern, and the whole mirror surface is smooth and worn.
Jiang Qi took the mirror, only to feel a slight sink.
When I saw it, there was a crack on the bronze mirror that ran through the entire mirror, which made Jiang Qi very surprised.
He reached out and stroked the crack, and found that although the crack was slight, it went deep inside, but the bronze ancient mirror that should have been cracked was tightly bonded, and there was no sign of cracking.
Jiang Qi turned over the bronze mirror, looked at the dragon and phoenix carved behind the bronze mirror, intertwined and danced, which was extraordinary, until Jiang Qi saw something on the bronze mirror, only nodded slightly, but did not speak.
Seeing that Jiang Qi was silent for a long time, Lin Guo'er couldn't help but ask: "Jiang Qi, is there anything wrong with this mirror?" ”
Jiang Qi hesitated for a moment and nodded slowly.
Seeing that everyone's expressions changed slightly, he only smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's not a bad thing, on the contrary, it's a good thing!" ”
"Wu Ze, do any of you two know the origin of this bronze ancient mirror?"
Jiang Qi waved the bronze mirror in his hand at the two and asked.
"I don't know anything but that this bronze mirror is a treasure handed down from my family!"
Xu Jiaying said when she heard this.
"I don't think I know the origin of this bronze mirror, even my grandmother doesn't know when this bronze mirror was handed down, it is said that this bronze mirror has been circulating in my family for a long, long time."
Wu Ze opened his mouth at this time and said: "This mirror, I have also archaeological before, but I still haven't been able to find out its origin, but I can roughly determine its age, probably something from the Han Dynasty, which is quite valuable." ”
"Even the crack on it has been broken for a long time."
"In order to treat Xiaomeng before, the two of us also had the idea of this mirror."
There's no way around it.
Thinking of all the things before, Wu Ze couldn't help but sigh.
And after hearing Wu Ze determine the age of the bronze mirror, Jiang Qi felt a little more sure in his heart.
"If I'm not mistaken, this bronze mirror should be the prototype of the story 'Broken Mirror Reunion'."
"Broken mirror reunion?"
Lin Guo'er's eyes rolled around, and she immediately thought of the source of this story.
"Tang Meng's "Ability Poems and Emotions" contains: The Chen Dynasty of the Southern Dynasty is about to die, and the concubine Xu Deyan broke the bronze mirror and agreed with his wife, thinking that the proof of meeting will be reunited, and the consequences will be reunited, so as to be happy."
"As for the Song Dynasty, Li Zhiyuan once said in "Green Peony": Break the mirror and reunite, divide the hairpin and make the hairpin, and re-find the embroidered household bead foil."
"You're talking about this story of a broken mirror reunion!"
Lin Guoer is well-read and has a strong memory, and tells the ins and outs of the story of the broken mirror reunion in history clearly in three words.
Even Wu Ze and the others, who had scratched and were confused before, understood.
"It's just that the time is not right!"
Lin Guoer asked.
Wu Ze had already said that this bronze mirror was an object of the Han Dynasty, while Lin Guoer said earlier that it was a matter of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the time difference was hundreds of years.
Jiang Qi nodded when he heard this, "What you said is indeed right!" ”
"However, have you ever heard of a wild history, this wild history is still about the bronze mirror, and the broken mirror is reunited!"
Several people looked at each other when they heard this, but they couldn't even say why.
Even Lin Guo'er, who has always been rich in knowledge, shook her head and said she didn't know.
Jiang Qi didn't talk nonsense, and continued to speak: "This story happens to be about the Han Dynasty, but the story of Liu Xiu, the founding monarch of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and his empress Yin Lihua. ”
"Liu Xiu was born noble, he is the ninth grandson of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, but because of the grace order of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the family has long been defeated by the time of Liu Xiu's generation, and he is no longer noble."
"Later, Liu Xiu raised troops to resist Wang Mang's rebellion, thanks to the strong support of his wife Yin Lihua's mother's family, who provided him with food and grass soldiers."
"Although Yin Lihua is a woman, she understands the general meaning and has extraordinary foresight, which can be described as a heroine among women, and it is because of her support and help that Liu Xiu was able to finally stand out and become the ancestor of Zhongxing."
"Liu Xiu knows that his wife is virtuous, and after winning the world, she will be crowned as the queen of Yin Lihua, and she will not be drafted in the palace, nor will she accept concubines, but she will only follow the example of ordinary people with Yin Lihua, and she will be a couple for the rest of her life!"
"It's just that although the husband and wife are in love, they have a big regret, Yin Lihua has been married for many years, and she has never been able to give birth to an heir."
"At that time, even in ordinary people's homes, a woman's infertility was a big sin, not to mention that as a royal family, childbirth was particularly important."
"Although Liu Xiu loves his wife, he has to think about succession."
In the end, Liu Xiu still decided to take a concubine and have children, Yin Lihua was heartbroken when she learned about it, so she handed over the bronze mirror to Liu Xiu, saying that when the mirror would be broken and reunited, the husband and wife would meet again.
"If I'm not mistaken, this mirror should be the one that Yin Lihua disconnected."
Jiang Qi played with the mirror in his hand and responded solemnly.
Then he turned his gaze to Xu Jiaying.
"If, according to what you say, this mirror is indeed your family heirloom, then your ancestor's surname should be Liu Cai!"
"You should be a descendant of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu!"
Jiang Qi's words were like a thunderbolt, which shook the ears of everyone present.
"It's unlikely! Besides, it's just a wild history, and it doesn't explain anything. ”
Lin Guoer questioned.
In these years, even the official history has been smeared and revised beyond recognition, what can a wild history that I heard from nowhere explain?
Xu Jiaying was even more at a loss, and didn't understand how she had a relationship with Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu again.
"I've never heard these things happen to my elders."
Xu Jiaying is still skeptical of Jiang Qi's speculation.
It's just a bronze mirror.
