Chapter 268: The Pleasant Time Is Hard to Return
"It was spit out by the golden carp." Yu Hongdou explained without waiting for her brother to ask.
The golden bead was really just a bead. There was no pattern or trace. There was no clue except that the material and color looked the same as the octagonal golden nut bought from the river before.
But neither the brother nor the sister could despise such a small golden bead.
"Brother, are you saying this is the first time this kind of beads have appeared?" Yu Hongdou just had this question.
Since it is a pearl hidden in the belly of a fish, hiding one pearl is nothing. Even when Xiaolongnu carves words on the bees, she does it in groups.
She had been in this world for too short a time, but she was very sure that there were no rumors of pearls hidden in fish bellies or gold being fished out of the river nearby.
Yu Song thought for a moment, looked at his sister, and the two brothers and sisters said at the same time: "Old white-headed man!"
Old Baitou in Xingsheng Town wants to eat golden red carp on his birthday, and every year Zhang Laosan goes down to the river to find it for him.
Yu Hongdou only remembered that people said that Lao Baitou's family was rich, but she didn't know what they did to make their fortune.
"What does Old Whitehead's family do to be so rich?" Yu Hongdou asked as she thought of it, and raised her head to look at her brother.
Yu Song frowned. He really didn't know...
"Let's ask our grandfather tomorrow. He should know something about the inside story." Yu Song quickly found someone to ask.
Although the old man is an outsider, he has some medical skills and is good at preparing medicinal materials, so he has good relations with doctors and pharmacies in the surrounding villages.
As we all know, doctors know many secrets that ordinary people cannot know.
Yu Song said this to Yu Hongdou.
"Well, then you can ask them tomorrow, brother." She has been entertaining the two people from the Tan family recently. Her cousin and Mr. Peng Qi have also come over these past two days. Yu Hongdou feels that she may not be able to spare the time.
And to be honest, although Mr. Yu did not show much favoritism towards boys, he would definitely be happy to talk to his promising grandson.
The brother and sister reached an agreement, and Yu Song returned the green jade lotus jade pendant that he and Tan Langxiu found when they returned to the underground palace to his sister.
The brother and sister couldn't delay too long, so they had to talk about what happened to them when they returned to the underground palace and encountered the people from the Western Regions later.
The yard, which was originally spacious enough for a family of four, was now fully occupied.
The powerful young men and wealthy gentry who were used to living in large mansions did not feel crowded at all. They gathered together to admire the moon and eat melons, looking very leisurely.
"With the gentle breeze and the bright moon hanging high in the sky, a table full of fruits and two or three close friends, it is truly a very pleasant experience."
Peng Qi sat in the corridor, leaning against the pillar, mumbling for a long time, as if trying to think of a poem, but in the end he chose to express his admiration directly.
"Brother Peng is right. I can't bear to let go of such a pleasant time~" Tan Yanlin looked up at the starry sky and sighed.
He suddenly understood why his master did not enter the court. Wouldn't it be nice to live like this every day without having to worry about anything, without intrigue, and without having to guess what his superiors were thinking?
"Someone has to carry the burden forward. You are all the pillars of the future, so don't lose your fighting spirit~"
It would be great if you could just idle away all the time. Don't come here to play for a while and then retire to the countryside. Yu Hongdou doesn't want to take the blame for this.
She felt that among the three brothers of the Tan family, except for Tan Mengao who escorted Emperor An He back to Beijing, the two in front of her seemed to have some intention of escaping.
"Someone has to carry the burden forward?" Tan Yanlin repeated, then looked at his ninth brother.
"Seventh brother is enough." Tan Langxuan received his brother's gaze and responded directly.
Yu Hongdou was amused. What's wrong with you brothers? You have learned to shirk responsibility. This is not like someone who comes from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
In the evening, Pan Bao took Peng Qi back to his own yard. He brought Peng Qi to the village this time, ostensibly to entertain him, but actually to avoid his cousins from his maternal grandparents' family.
Before, he passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, which caused his grandfather to kick him out. Now he became the top candidate in the case and brought a wealthy man named Peng Qi with him. Cousins and female relatives from the Eighth Route Army came to his house in an endless stream, and the door of his house was about to be broken.
Pan Bao even suspected that this was the reason why his parents hid away and didn't want to come back.
In fact, there is indeed some reason why Pan Dongliang is hiding and not coming back.
"Your father came back today and brought a message saying that your uncle personally sent him an invitation. I heard that your cousin is holding a banquet tomorrow and he also said that he will bring his two little ones back to sit at the table."
"Hey, your uncle, it's difficult too. The Fu family seemed pretty good originally, but somehow, they've become more and more crazy in recent years."
Before going to bed, the two children paid their respects to their mother, and Xu finally found a chance to say a few words to her children in a private manner.
"Mom, my cousin has his own ideas. I think he has already made up his mind about this matter. Don't get angry. I will talk to my uncle tomorrow. I think there are some misunderstandings between them."
Yu Hongdou comforted her mother and really wanted to get involved.
Although it is said that even a fair judge cannot judge family affairs, there are also cases where those involved are often confused. She admires her cousin and likes her uncle, so naturally she hopes that everything is going well for them.
"I'm worrying in vain." Xu sighed. It was all her fault. She only cared about herself and didn't pay much attention to her brother. Over the years, her brother and she became more and more distant.
"Mom, don't think too much. If uncle really had no idea and really treated you as an outsider, he wouldn't have moved to the city. I remember when I was a child, uncle said he wanted to stay in the village forever."
Yu Song could sense his mother's bitterness and tried to comfort her. In his opinion, his uncle and his family moved to the city only after they all went to the county town.
Otherwise, with my uncle's carefree mentality, no matter how much he loves my cousins, he would not move out of the village for them.
Yu Songke still remembers what his uncle said when he was a child, that he should protect the house and sister left by his parents, so that home would always be there.
Mrs. Xu nodded. In recent years, her children have grown up and become more sensible and clever, so she told them to match their younger brother and nephew no matter what.
Yu Song and Yu Hongdou agreed, then went back to their rooms to prepare for sleep.
Yu Hongdou, who was feeling sleepy, became alert again after washing up.
I tossed and turned for a while but still couldn't fall asleep, so I simply got out of bed, picked up a pen and paper and started to list and analyze the various information I had gained in the past few days.
She first put the golden beads and the green jade lotus her brother gave her together.
She also took out the octagonal nut that Mo Shougui had temporarily left with her, and prepared to list these three items, as well as the secret room in the underground palace found this time, on the information sheet one by one.
When she picked up the octagonal nut part and prepared to draw three views, she was stunned when she saw the round and smooth inner circle.
Before, she only noticed that the eight edges of the inner ring of the octagonal nut each protruded, tightly screwing a circular inner ring in the center.
The inner circle is round and smooth, but there is a notch in the lower right corner. There is a hole in the cross section of the notch, and there is also a hole at the position corresponding to the inner diameter of the inner circle.
And judging from the size of this hole... Yu Hongdou picked up the golden bead obtained from the fish's belly and compared it with the hole in the inner circle, and his head suddenly lit up!
