The author has something to say: O__O"…

I really feel very inexplicable. I never wrote that the heroine saves people with golden lotus seeds. Why is everyone condemning the heroine?Please read it slowly. If you read it clearly before commenting, you will think that it is not a book written by me.

Whether Tanchun knew the secrets inside the jewelry box, Lin Qingyun didn't know.Lin Qingyun can only hope that Tanchun doesn't know, if she knows but keeps it secret...

She was not in a hurry to seek evidence from Tanchun, but after discussing with Tu Yan about the matter of Chengjun Palace, she decided to report to the emperor first.There is no impenetrable wall in the world, not to mention that the Zhen family is not so trustworthy. If she and Tu Yan secretly deal with her and become a collaborator, she will be limited to passiveness, and the pace will be controlled by the Zhen family. Once the Zhen family is not satisfied with the income , their situation is very dangerous.Tu Yan's position is already very stable, and he doesn't need to waste his time and risk to plan anything, it's better not to touch such things.

After the plan was agreed, Tu Yan reported the matter to the emperor in private.

The emperor read the letter, and his eyes were angry: "It's a worthless thing! It was coaxed by people with a few words."

It's not that Chengjun Wang is easy to be coaxed, but because of the temptation of interests, it's hard to resist.The emperor naturally knew that Chengjun Wang was his own son, so it was inevitable that he hated iron but not steel.

Tu Yan said nothing.

The emperor glanced at him, knowing that he didn't want to get involved in these things, and felt tired for a moment, and asked him: "I am not young anymore, and the gray hair on my temples is getting more and more day by day, how much energy can I have? There are many things about the court. You are already well now, are you still hiding in Honglu Temple and idling, but you are not willing to share my worries?"

Tu Yan said with a smile: "The three imperial brothers have outstanding abilities, and they will definitely be able to share the worries of the father."

"Hmph, they? They're not fighting for this, or scheming about that. They don't stop all day long!" The emperor sighed when he saw that his expression was not moving, and said, "I know you want to take care of those things, and you don't need to take care of other things. Get that box."

No matter what Chengjun Wang wants to do in the future, it is impossible for the emperor to leave 50 taels of silver to him.

When Tu Yan came back from the palace, he thought about it all the way, and always felt that he had overlooked something.It suddenly occurred to her that the Zhen family put out the chips so easily, isn't she afraid that he will take the things directly from Jia's house?Mrs. Zhen is not stupid, and she will never leave behind. I am afraid that it will not be that easy to get that sum of gold.

After listening to Tu Yan's analysis, Lin Qingyun also felt that it made sense.

"I have nothing to do with the Jia family. It would be wrong for me to go to the door of Jia's house. I would like to ask my sister to go and tell her something." By saying this, she was also asking for Tu Yan's consent.

Tu Yan nodded: "That's all. You don't have to tell her too much in detail, just say that the thing is kept by the Zhen family, and she probably knows it well."

The next day, Lin Qingyun went to the farmer's house, and didn't mention anything else, except that Jiamu kept a rosewood carved jewelry box for the Zhen family, and there was a mystery in it, which involved a lot.Daiyu was so clever, she immediately guessed that the Zhen family's real recovery capital was hidden in it, and she had seen an object with a similar description at Tanchun's place, and Tanchun also said that it was given by Jiamu.

"The things inside are very important. Now Princess Chengjun wants to get things but can't get them, but there are many other people staring at them. I can't go to Jia's house, it's too conspicuous, so I have to trouble my sister to go and find out." Girl, let's see if she knows what's inside." Later, Lin Qingyun and Tu Yan analyzed that once it was reported that Chengjun Palace wanted to accept Tanchun, some people would definitely see something strange, and 50 taels of silver would definitely seduce many people. Heart.

"If the third sister knows..." Daiyu said this only tentatively, and her face immediately changed.

Daiyu put this important matter aside in her heart, and soon found an opportunity to go to Jia's house.

Now it is still in Jiamu's filial piety period, and the two families still live together in Daiyu's house at the beginning, but the two people live together and eat differently, and they have their own management of daily expenses and various expenses, that is, the kitchen. Both are two.When Daiyu came over, she talked to Wang Xifeng for a while, and then she said to go and see Tanchun Xiangyun.

Wang Xifeng called her: "Sister Lin, stay here, I have something to talk to my sister about."

Daiyu had to sit down again: "Sister Feng, if you have something to say, just say it."

Wang Xifeng said: "It's not for anything else, but for Sister Yun's marriage. Now there are only two aunts left in the Shi family. It's not easy for orphans and widows, and the place where they live is not plentiful. The old lady loved her a lot. Although the old lady is gone, our family can still get by, and a sister Yun can still afford it. It's just...how can a girl not worry about life's events when she grows up? Sister Yun has been engaged for several years, Wei There has been no movement at home, sister Yun can't just drag on like this for the rest of her life, can she?"

Daiyu didn't think about this, she just said: "The Wei family is keeping their filial piety now."

"I know, I've done the calculations, and the filial piety will be born in the first month of next year. It's already July, and there are only a few months left. The Wei family has been ignoring Sister Yun. I'm worried..." Wang Xifeng sighed He took a breath, and said in a low voice: "I heard some people talking outside, saying that the Wei family disliked Sister Yun's bad fate and refused to marry him. In the past, I have seen some points, but the young master of the Wei family still remembers Sister Yun. But now it seems that there is no such person. We are the woman's family, so it is not easy to come to the door to ask, besides, she is keeping a filial piety, and sister Yun will be nineteen next year."

"It's really not easy to ask now. We can only worry about it next year when the Wei family becomes filial piety. No matter what, there must be an explanation." Daiyu actually has a plan for the sisters, but her status is left here, it is better that Wang Xifeng is a sister-in-law Come cheap, and justifiably.Seeing that she really cared about the important matters of the sisters, she didn't mention it anymore, and when she got up to leave, she asked casually, "Why didn't you see Ping'er?"

Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "She found out about Youxi last month, and within three months, I didn't let her serve in front of me."

Seeing that there was no anger or resentment in her brows, Daiyu smiled and said, "So it's a happy event. Sister Feng congratulates me. I'll go and see Third Sister and Sister Yun."

There is a wall between the big room and the second room, and there is a door, and there is a hall after it.Daiyu turned from the right. Behind her lived two aunts of Zhou Zhao, Tanchun Xiangyun and Li Wan.

After all, this house has limited space, and Xiangyun is a guest, living in the same courtyard with Tanchun.Originally, Wang Xifeng wanted to take Xiangyun to live in the big house. After all, the big house is better now, and he is the eldest. The relatives in the house should naturally be entertained by the big house. But Xiangyun used to be a lively person, but now only Tanchun can talk. As a companion, I came to live with Tanchun.

"Sister Lin is here, it's very hot outside, come in and have a seat." Tanchun and Xiangyun came out to greet her, seeing Daiyu couldn't help but feel emotional.

Daiyu is now the mother of two children, but she seems not to be fat by nature, and her face was slightly fleshy when she was pregnant, and she returned to her previous appearance after only one or two months after she was born.Today, she still looks slender, graceful and chic, and more charming than ever.Daiyu is well married again. Although she is the eldest granddaughter-in-law in the Zhuang family, she is still the eldest wife of the housekeeper. She usually only follows her studies, and she is very relaxed. She is not restricted when going out normally, and she has no troubles.

Seeing Xiangyun in front of her, Daiyu couldn't ask for a while.

When the sisters talk together, it is inevitable to talk about other sisters.Yingchun got married early, she already has a son by her side, Kuang Liguo's mansion has lost her title, the brothers of the Liu family have separated, now Yingchun can be regarded as the head of the family.Yingchun's temperament is there, and it will be hard to change in this life. Fortunately, the chess players and embroidered oranges around him are all very good. Although the second master of the Liu family has two concubines, they are just like that. The decent grandmother respects Yingchun. Both.Xichun is also engaged, and will be married at the end of the year. Her husband's family does not seem to be visible, but in the future she will have no in-laws to serve, and she will follow her husband everywhere, enjoying herself freely.Needless to say, Qingyun and Daiyu, even the girls of the Zhuang family married well, but Tanchun and Xiangyun don't know what the future holds.

Xiangyun suddenly asked: "Since sister Bao returned home, there has never been a letter sent, so I don't know how it is now?"

At first, Xiangyun and Baochai went from closeness to estrangement, and there was a reason for it, but no matter what, Xiangyun would often think of them as sisters for many years.Daiyu didn't answer for a while, the room fell silent, Xiangyun didn't know what to think of, just pointed out something casually and left.

Daiyu sighed in her heart, instead of probing Tanchun, she asked her directly: "Sister, I remember that you have a carved red sandalwood jewelry box here, which was given to you by the old lady, do you know the origin of that thing? "

Tanchun's hand holding the tea paused slightly: "Someone asked Sister Lin to ask for this thing?"

Unexpectedly, Tanchun would throw the question back, but this move made Daiyu feel more uneasy, she frowned slightly unconsciously, and waved her hands to order all the girls in the house to go out, Tanchun didn't stop her, then Daiyu said: "I heard it belongs to the Zhen family."

Tanchun didn't answer, turned around and walked to the makeup mirror, where the rosewood carved jewelry box was placed there majestically.Tanchun took it, put it in front of Daiyu, and opened the box.

This jewelry box looks like a three-dimensional small cabinet from the outside, with exquisite carvings on all sides, and the carved scenes are also special. It is Jinling landscape, market, and frolicking babies. It looks like a dowry thing. Only [-]% new.Open the door of the cupboard, there are three layers of small drawers, each layer has various jewelry and hair accessories, Tanchun pulls out each layer of drawers, and uses a thin hairpin to pry along the gap of the bottom floor, and then the board is pried off. It was found that there was a shallow interlayer inside.Obviously, in order to make a mezzanine without being noticed by others, the original bottom plate was cut into two pieces, stuffed into the things to be hidden, and then closed and fastened.

Tanchun took out ten money orders and placed them in front of Daiyu, and said with a slight sarcasm: "When the old lady was still sober, she mentioned to me that she would leave me a jewelry box in the future, saying that it was deposited by someone else. , if someone comes to pick it up, I will give it to her. At that time, I asked who it was, but the old lady didn't say. At first I didn't pay attention to this box, but sometimes things are always strange. I treat it carefully, but I miss it. I dropped it on the ground with my hand, and things fell all over the floor. When I cleaned it up, I found that the bottom board was loose, and something was faintly exposed inside."

Daiyu knew that with Tanchun's intelligence, she must have guessed who the things belonged to.

"I didn't say anything about it, and no one said it. At the beginning, our family took a few big boxes from the Zhen family, and we were charged with hiding the belongings of criminals. The old lady once took 10 yuan from the Zhen family. The two silver coins, because the Zhen family collapsed and no one came to pick them up, the Eldest Master and the Second Master plan to divide them up in private."

Daiyu knew about this, and later Jia Lian persuaded her to withdraw the money from Jiamu's private room and hand it over to the court.

Tanchun sighed, and looked at Daiyu: "I have never dared to tell about this box. I was frightened, fearing that one day people from the Zhen family would come to ask for it. How can our family withstand the wind and rain again? But no Unexpectedly, it was Sister Lin who came to the door last."

After hearing the whole story, Daiyu understood that Tanchun's intentions were not for the little money, nor was she trying to find a good way out for herself, but for the sake of Jia's family.She, the third younger sister, has high ambitions in her heart, but she gave birth to a daughter. Even so, she still thinks about and worries about the family in everything.She is a concubine, Jia Zheng doesn't care about the inner house, and Mrs. Wang always treats her with a separate floor, but she still abides by the way of children and obeys the upbringing of the boudoir. Even if she has dissatisfaction and grievances in her heart, she never shows it.In the past, she felt that Tanchun and Baoyu were conceived in the wrong fetus, and she should lose their weight.

"Now that they know that the things are in your hands, they want you to enter the county palace." Daiyu finally said the matter.

Tanchun was taken aback for a moment, and then burst into tears: "Am I destined to be a concubine all my life?"

Tanchun's low self-esteem for her status as a concubine also aroused her desire to gain a sense of recognition, and she was ashamed of having a mother like Aunt Zhao.On the surface, she only recognizes his wife's relatives. Although it is orthodox, she seems a little cold. In her heart, she has sympathy and even pity for Aunt Zhao, and hates her for not fighting.How Mrs. Wang treats her, she knows better than anyone else in her heart, she doesn't expect to marry a rich man in the future, she just hopes that for the sake of his filial piety, she can choose someone who is motivated to be his wife, and she will not worry about not getting better in the future .

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Wang is gone, so she managed to avoid the Nan'an Palace, and the County Palace is waiting.

"Third sister, don't be sad, you won't be filial piety until the end of next year."

Tanchun knew what she meant, but said: "You and I have seen the things, so we know that the things will become invalid if you don't take them at the end of this year, but how can others know? Even if you tell them, you may not believe them." Tanchun said unexpectedly. Kneeling in front of Daiyu: "Sister Lin, you are the only one who can save the Jia family now. This box must not be left in the Jia family, otherwise..."

Tanchun was really afraid that the Jia family would be completely disbanded.

"What does the third sister mean? Even if I take the box away, outsiders will still stare at you." Daiyu was puzzled.

Tan Chun said: "I know that it must be Princess Chunqin who asked Sister Lin to come. Since the princess asked, Prince Chun would know that there is Prince Chun as a guarantor in front of the Holy One. If the Holy One is kind and wise, he may be able to forgive the Jia family. one time."

Daiyu always felt that something was wrong, and she couldn't say it for a while, but Lin Qingyun also said it when she came, and took the box away if possible.Daiyu only said that she would do her best to Tanchun's request, and then wrapped the box in a bundle and took it away.After leaving Jia's house, she went directly to Prince Chun's Mansion and gave the things to Lin Qingyun.

Lin Qingjun didn't let anyone wait in front of him, so he put the jewelry box in front of him out of curiosity, and took out the things in the interlayer as Daiyu said.Sure enough, they were money orders from ten banks. Although these banks were all commercially run, they all had huge support behind them. They were the top three banks with a good reputation.When I saw the withdrawal requirements on the money order, I finally understood why Mrs. Zhen gave up the bargaining chip with confidence. It was because there was one very crucial thing in order to withdraw the gold—trust!

Although this business of the bank can be deposited and withdrawn anonymously, in order to ensure safety, not only a money order but also a token are required for withdrawal.The keepsakes are given by the bank or provided by the depositor himself, such as special jade pendants, wood carvings and other small pieces, which are divided into two, and the bank and the depositor each hold half; there are also banks that make special gifts for such special guests. Please ask the sculptor to carve small objects that are difficult to imitate and have the imprint of the bank, and show them when you pick them up.

Zhen Yingjia deposited [-] gold in different batches in three banks, and used ten people to deposit ten bills of exchange, so there are ten credits.After all, if you deposit a large amount of gold at one time, you will definitely attract attention. Since Zhen Yingjia is to guard against the opponents, he is naturally extra cautious and would rather trouble.

"It turns out that the third sister..." Daiyu had been staring at the jewelry box, suddenly her expression changed slightly, and she murmured.

"Sister?" Lin Qingyun had been thinking about something, but didn't hear clearly.

Daiyu moved her lips, and finally sighed: "Third sister, she... I always felt that there was something wrong with what Sanmei said, but now I look at this box to find out. This box has a lock on it, and the red sandalwood is very It is sturdy, how can it be broken easily? The old lady must have entrusted the thing to her on purpose. She felt strange, so she opened it to check and found the interlayer."

Lin Qingyun didn't expect this, but after Daiyu said, it was indeed very similar.

After pondering for a moment, she asked back: "There is one thing that I have always wondered about. The county prince's mansion wanted this thing, why didn't they take it away quietly, but took the trouble to get the third girl to the mansion? After all, Jia's family has fallen. Doesn’t it attract a lot of attention, and if you explore it, it’s hard not to discover the secrets.” After a pause, he asked her again: “Sister, do you know where the third girl hides this jewelry box?”

Daiyu was slightly taken aback: "The third younger sister didn't hide it. When I went there, I saw this jewelry box next to the makeup mirror..." Before she finished speaking, Daiyu herself fell silent.Earlier, Tanchun said that the old lady specially entrusted her with something, and she accidentally learned the secrets in the mezzanine. Shouldn't such important things be kept more properly?Why do you want to put it on the dressing table grandiosely?

Although he didn't want to say that, Lin Qingyun still said, "I'm afraid the third girl made it for you."

Daiyu was a guest, so she would definitely get news when she came to the door, besides, she talked to Wang Xifeng for a long time, so she had enough time for Tanchun to prepare.

"Third sister, don't you believe that I will help the Jia family? Why are you so 'exhaustive'?" Daiyu thought about the sisters who had been with each other for a few years, but now they are so estranged that they want to face the sisters. acting.

"Sister, the third girl will be filial piety in November next year, and it will be less than a month before the next year. She will be 20 years old at that time. Kuang Jia's family was defeated, and she was said to be married to the son of Nan'an. The marriage is very difficult. She I'm afraid I want to find a way out for myself and the Jia family."

"Road? Does the third sister want to enter the county palace? But her words don't seem to be false. The third sister is so ambitious, how can she be willing to be a concubine? Besides, if she really wants to go to the county palace, how important is this box? Why? And easily gave it to me?" Daiyu was confused.

"Sister, this is just my guess. Let's just listen to it. You don't have to take it too seriously. The third girl is shrewd and capable, and she has great ambitions. You can see it from her poems. She also values ​​the family the most. People can even sacrifice for the family. If there is an opportunity in front of her, if she does it, the Jia family, especially the second room, can be revived, and it may even save the second master from exile. Do you think she will do it? ?”

"What chance?" Daiyu was already uncertain.

"The third girl has seen the money order, so she must know that she can't get something without trust. She also knows that the Zhen family's house was ransacked at the beginning, and all the family property must be returned to the state treasury, so the gold should belong to the court. Now the county palace is taking the initiative. If you want to accept her, once she enters the mansion, she will be able to find an opportunity to get her, and she may even do something else, all of which are meritorious deeds. At that time, the emperor would not use people for nothing, and her family was already a county. The people of the palace, so to whom does the emperor want to repay the merits?"

"Naturally it's the second uncle or Baoyu." Daiyu felt mixed feelings for a moment, thinking of Tanchun's tears, it was not a play at all.Tanchun really didn't want to be a concubine, but for the sake of Erfang and Jia Zheng, she would rather walk into the pit of fire.Daiyu couldn't help but said: "Sister, isn't the imperial court a man's business? Why do you want the third sister to stay with you for the rest of your life? The third sister is already suffering enough."

In fact, they all knew that it was not the imperial court who wanted to take Tanchun, but Tanchun himself designed this path.

Daiyu felt sad and cried a lot before going back.

After waiting for Daiyu to leave, Tu Yan came out from the room and looked at the ten money orders, frowning deeply.

"I didn't expect the water in Chengjun Palace to be so deep. Miss Jia San went in again, and it was even muddied." Seeing her looking sideways, Tu Yan said something in a low voice: "Because of Mrs. Zhen, I investigated Chengjun Palace again. Once again, I accidentally found out about the concubine Gao. Her identity is not ordinary."

"What's so unusual? Isn't her father a guard in Tai'an Mansion?" Lin Qingyun didn't think there was a problem with this background. After all, when the Gao family participated in the draft, the background of the show girls has always been screened layer by layer, so it is unlikely that there will be problems.

"I read Gao Wu's documents from the Ministry of Household Affairs. From a small soldier, he was promoted to a sixth-rank thousand general in just five or six years. This speed is not ordinary. If he has power behind him, it is not surprising. All the people he made friends with were not much different from his background, so it would be puzzling. Why did he get promoted so quickly? You know, even in the army, the competition is fierce. It is common to see military merits and exclusion of poor families. But seven or eight years ago, his position had not been changed. Someone originally wanted to promote him, but it was nothing. The king used his strength to promote him."

"Why didn't the people behind him help? Did they give up on Gao Wu?" Lin Qingyun couldn't figure it out.

"No, I think the other party wanted to reuse him, so they deliberately cut off contact. Seven years ago, it was the time when Mrs. Gao entered the palace for a draft. I also found out that Gao Wu's ancestral home was from Bingzhou, and there was a lieutenant next to King Nan'an who was also from Bingzhou. , and the age difference between the two is not big, and they are in the same village. Can there be such a coincidence in the world? It has been a long time since they left home, but there are still a few old people who feel this, saying that the two have known each other since childhood, and they are together Those who went out to make a living, how could one be under the command of Prince Nan'an and the other be in Beijiang?"

"So, the Gao family is the remnant party of Prince Nan'an?"
