Chapter 8, Section 12 The Fate of Broken Jade
Xiao Fei sighed in his heart, if it weren't for Chen Jiazhai's horizontal insertion, wouldn't he and Yin Xiaomei really become husband and wife? What is the use of discovering this jade pendant at that time...... After doing such a reluctant thing, he really has no face to live in the world anymore.
Before long, there was a gentle knock on the door outside the study, Xiao Fei responded with a "come in", and saw Yin Xiaomei walking alone, her clothes had been put on properly, but her head was full of green silk but she didn't have time to comb it, and the waterfall hung down behind her head, and when she got closer, she could vaguely smell the fragrance she had just finished bathing.
plucked up the courage to take the last step, who would have thought that Lang Jun would retreat at the last moment, was he still dissatisfied with this marriage? Then why did he take himself into Xiao's house! Yin Xiaomei bit her lower lip, her face was solemn, and she walked to Xiao Fei's desk without speaking.
Xiao Fei didn't think about what she was thinking now, she looked down at the jade pendant in her hand, could it be that the mystery of her life experience was about to be solved? Are her parents still alive? Maybe the Yin brothers will know something, but now they can't turn back time to ask them.
Yin Xiaomei is still straight-hearted, seeing that Xiao Fei didn't speak, she finally couldn't hold back herself and spoke first, "Lang Jun, why did you call the concubine here late at night?"
"Lang Jun, hehe," Xiao Fei raised his head and smiled, "It seems that you can't call me Lang Jun in the future, you and I don't have a husband and wife, but fortunately, there is no husband and wife today." ”
"Heh......" The most worrying thing still happened, Yin Xiaomei couldn't help but suddenly feel exhausted, and all the pain and grievances for a month suddenly broke out at this moment, "There is no relationship between husband and wife?!Do you still have a grudge against the practices of my two fathers!Or is the Green Willow Villa gone, and I, a rootless drifter, are not worthy of your eldest son Xiao?"
Xiao Fei was surprised by Yin Xiaomei's resentment at the moment, and after thinking about it, he knew the reason, "Little sister, you sit down." It's me who is not good, the matter is not explained, and you misunderstand. ”
Yin Xiaomei took half a step back, sat down on the chair opposite Xiao Fei suddenly, and clasped her arms without saying a word.
"This jade pendant, but what the owner of Yin Erzhuang said that night, is it related to your life experience?" Xiao Fei asked as he picked up the jade pendant in his hand with his left hand.
"Huh?" Yin Xiaomei considered Xiao Fei's various arguments, but she didn't expect him to ask this question.
Xiao Fei saw that Yin Xiaomei was stunned, so he stood up and gently put the jade pendant on the table in front of her.
Yin Xiaomei gently picked up the jade pendant that had accompanied her for nearly twenty years, rubbed her fingertips lightly, and said slightly, "That's it." ”
"You wait first. Xiao Fei said and left the desk, walked to the bookshelf on the side, I don't know what touched, the wall on the left side of the bookshelf slowly opened a small hole three feet square, all kinds of objects in the hole are complicated, but most of them are bottles and cans, Xiao Fei looked at it a little, reached out and took out a small box of ordinary style from it, opened the box and took out an object, and restored the dark grid to its original state.
Xiao Fei walked to the desk again, squatted down, lifted the corner of the gray carpet under the table, opened a piece of masonry, inserted the thing in his hand, it turned out to be a copper key, opened the mechanism under the brick, picked up the things inside, and put down the masonry carpet.
Yin Xiaomei didn't care about Xiao Fei's previous intentions, and only looked at his series of complicated operations, and so many organs in the study, how important it was, worthy of such careful attention from the eldest son of the Jiangnan Rich Family?
The last thing Xiao Fei took out was actually a wooden box, and the workmanship was more exquisite than the box containing the key before, but I didn't know what was inside.
Xiao Fei held the box, sat behind the desk, took a deep breath, and pushed the box in front of Yin Xiaomei, "You can understand by looking at the contents inside, why did I say that you and I have no relationship between husband and wife." ”
Yin Xiaomei listened to what he said solemnly, she didn't dare to touch the box for a while, looked up at Xiao Fei, and finally took the box to herself and opened it slowly.
"Huh?" Yin Xiaomei was so shocked that she covered her mouth with her right hand and shouted, almost throwing the box on the ground.
It turned out that the box was lined with high-quality silk, and there was a jade pendant, no, it should be half a jade pendant, half a jade pendant that was no different from her own jade pendant, Yin Xiaomei almost thought that she was dazzled.
With a trembling right hand, carefully took out the jade pendant from the box, picked up her jade pendant with her left hand, Yin Xiaomei slowly put her left and right hands together and compared: the two jade pendants are from one, they should be cut off by sharp weapons, it is not difficult to see that the jade pendant itself is connected by the dark color formed by the emerald dyeing, the back of the jade pendant is very smooth, but the front shows the difference, his jade pendant has the word "little sister" written on it, but the front of the jade pendant taken out by Xiao Fei is a mess, it should be originally engraved on it, but it was forcibly erased with a sword.
"You and I were originally brother and sister?" Yin Xiaomei's voice was a little trembling and hoarse, and she asked in an uncertain tone.
"Yes, that's the only explanation. Xiao Fei affirmed.
Yin Xiaomei looked up at Xiao Fei, "My original surname was Xiao, and I was the daughter of the Xiao family in Hangzhou, so why did they abandon me back then?"
"No, you don't have to have the surname Xiao," Xiao Fei shook his head, "because I may not have the surname Xiao either." I was also an orphan adopted by my father, and my second brother Xiao Teng was my father's only son. Xiao Fei didn't say that he was in Tianhanmen before he was adopted by Xiao Mansion, not out of confidentiality, but because it was unnecessary.
"Then what should we have the last name, and who should our parents be?" asked Yin Xiaomei puzzled.
"I've been looking around all these years, but I haven't made much progress, because the only clue is this unrecognizable jade pendant," Xiao Fei smiled when he said this, "But today I have a harvest, and my wife has become my own sister!"
Hearing the pretended relaxed smile in Xiao Fei's words, Yin Xiaomei also untied the knot in her heart, so she put the two jade pendants together and put them in the middle of the table, with her two elbows on the table, her hands on her cheeks, and her eyes staring at the jade pendant, "When the two of them come together, you can't see anything." My jade pendant has been worn on my body since I was a child, and the familiar one can't be more familiar...... But Daddy and they never told me about the origin of the jade pendant, and I thought it was just my name written on it. ”
"Yes, it's a pity that the two owners are no longer alive, since the second owner knows that your jade pendant was left by your mother back then, she must know something. Xiao Fei sighed.
Speaking of the two adoptive fathers, Yin Xiaomei couldn't help but look gloomy, and after being silent for a long time, she asked with a strong spirit, "Why did you destroy the original text on your jade pendant, and what should be the words on it?"
"This half of me is like this, and I have consulted it many times, but I can only vaguely see the two horizontal strokes connected together, but I can't guess what the words are. ”
"If you can't figure it out, you don't have to think about it for the time being," Yin Xiaomei picked up the two jade pendants, put them in Xiao Fei's box, and handed them to Xiao Fei, "There will always be a day when things will come to light." ”
Xiao Fei took the box and said with a smile: "I don't have the luxury of hoping to solve all the mysteries at once, and now I can find you, little sister, I am very content." After all, I will never be lonely again, no matter where my parents are, I still have my sister-in-law by my side. Xiao Fei could hear Yin Xiaomei's explanation, and he was also very satisfied with his sister's cheerful personality.
"Hmph, who said I'm my sister? Maybe you should call me sister!" Yin Xiaomei pouted, she quickly regained her tricky temperament.
Xiao Fei was stunned when he heard this, how could this sentence be so familiar? Is it a protracted dispute between Qiuhe and Ling Feng over the years? But at this time, he didn't think too much, and explained, "Do you think the word 'little sister' on the jade pendant is really your name? This is a sign for you and me to meet in the future to determine the identity, so as not to mess up Gang Chang, but I didn't think that the two seniors of the Yin family took these two words as your name, no wonder you have never doubted your life experience with the jade pendant." ”
"Which of us is bigger? Yin Xiaomei obviously didn't believe it, "My birthday is the tenth day of the lunar month." ”
"My birthday should also be the tenth day of the lunar month," Xiao Fei said with a smile, "It seems that my mother encountered a life-critical event back then, so she gave up ruthlessly after you and I were born, and the two predecessors of the Yin family must have seen your mother put you somewhere, or they knew your mother originally, so they knew the origin of the jade pendant, or knew your birthday." ”
"You mean, the two of us are twins?" Yin Xiaomei was surprised and delighted at the moment, she could encounter such a bizarre thing.
"You can probably feel the special feeling between us, especially when we first met that day, I had an inexplicable throbbing in my heart, and an inexplicable affection for you. Xiao Fei said.
"You feel this way too?" Yin Xiaomei stood up in surprise, "I thought it would ...... I thought ......" was suddenly shy and couldn't speak, and I thought this was the love at first sight mentioned in the play.
"Yes, that's telepathy between twins. Xiao Fei nodded.
"Is that the case?" Yin Xiaomei heard of this kind of thing for the first time.
Xiao Fei couldn't explain to her the mysterious thing of "life-related" in the hexagram, he didn't want the sister he just met to treat himself as a big god! He had to explain to Yin Xiaomei from another aspect, "That's why I said that the word 'little sister' is just a mark, not your name, because the birth time of twins is very short, so parents will generally note who is older and who is younger at the beginning of birth, after all, it is difficult to distinguish between the newly born dolls." And this half of the jade pendant is your mark for your sister!"
"Hmph, this girl is generous, I don't want you to care about these details, just treat you as an elder brother!" Yin Xiaomei wrinkled her nose and recognized the facts.
In fact, Yin Xiaomei sorted out her mind with the help of Xiao Fei, but her heart was still messy. I didn't dare to accept the reality that Lang Jun had become my brother for a while. Her simple thinking did not recognize Xiao Fei as such an excellent young man, whether it was better to be a husband or a brother. Now, there is no need to choose, in fact, it is not bad to have such a versatile, civil and military and funny brother.
"Okay, little sister, go back and rest early, and tomorrow, I will inform my father and mother of this. Xiao Fei began to sigh in his heart that the second elder of the Yin family was lazy and stealing, and now he didn't even need to change his name for Yin Xiaomei, the little sister was the little sister!
"Then, where are you sleeping?" Yin Xiaomei's face was slightly red.
"For brother, it's naturally a study, otherwise where would you let me go?" Xiao Fei said with a playful smile.
"Hmph, whatever you want!" Yin Xiaomei heard the teasing meaning in her brother's words, and was so ashamed that she rushed out of the door.
