The Perfect Hidden Marriage

He carefully put away the silk painting, then carefully held out the silk book and showed it to her:

"The reason lies above. See for yourself!"

"Oh! Spin"

Xiao Jinghuan took it in her hand and looked at it, thinking to herself: The simplified Chinese characters are better now!

Official script pays attention to "Silkworm's head and wild goose's tail" and "Twists and turns". It originated in the Qin Dynasty and reached its peak in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

The glyphs of official script are much more complex than contemporary Chinese characters. Although Xiao Jinghuan has read a lot of books, when reading this silk book, some of them were still not fully recognized. There is no way, after all, there is a specialization in the art...

Fortunately, when she read something she didn't recognize, her grandpa would help correct the pronunciation.

After reading this, she was stunned on the spot. She read it twice again before looking at her grandfather, with a look of surprise on her face:

"Is what I said above true?

"Or is it just made up by the imagination of our ancestors?"

"impossible……

"How can this be?

"The Champion Marquis actually came back from the dead. Did the Champion Marquis build that underground palace for Chu Chaoyang?

"Chu Chaoyang is not dead?

"Just asleep?

"Sleeping in an unknown liquid?

"If you find the herb, can you wake up again?

"I...can I think of this as reading a fantasy novel?

"How can there be immortal people in this world?

"If this man can survive, God...

"Grandpa, are you saying that General Huo is still alive?

"No, no, no, no... these must be all nonsense..."

Every time he said a word, there would be a breath of surprise, how could she believe it.

As he said that, he pinched himself hard.

“You can decide for yourself whether it’s true or false!”

Grandpa just smiled, looking kind and approachable, and did not express his position:

“This was left behind by our ancestors 2,000 years ago, which explains the origin of this sheepskin.

“As for whether it’s just nonsense, no one knows.

“Maybe it’s really just made up by our ancestors.

"Just like there are no ghosts and gods in the world, the reason why people in the world believe in ghosts and gods is because of their rejection of the power of nature and their desire to get rid of misfortune when they encounter difficulties. This is reflected in the creations of literati Such a form was formed.

“Whether there is or not is basically impossible to verify.

"But there are many people who believe it, and there are also many people who don't believe it.

“Whether you believe it or not depends on what you think in your heart…

"As for the underground palace, there are legends, but no one can confirm whether it exists or not, so you can imagine whatever you want."

Regarding this legend, the old man's attitude was nothing but respect.

After all, it comes from such a distant history.

"Who then passed down the map?"

Xiao Jinghuan asked again.

"They are Chu Chaoyang's four guards and Huo Qubing's four guards. It is unknown who has the other three pieces."

Grandpa replied.

"Our Jin family is also one of them."

"right."

"The underground palace has never been opened since then, right?"

"According to the silk book, it must be. Because the eleven sheepskin maps have never been gathered together again."

"So, no one can be sure whether Huo Qubing, who came back from the dead, has immortality, right..."

"You can say that."

"I made it up. This story must be made up."

Xiao Jinghuan made a conclusion with a completely affirmative tone.

The old man smiled, said nothing, and did not express any opinion. Instead, he carefully collected the two pieces of silk brocade and treasured them.

This kind of thing is so precious and precious...

Xiao Jinghuan's imagination was stimulated. She stroked her hands and began to have wild thoughts:

"

However, if this underground palace can really be found, I'm afraid there will be another miracle in the world.

"Previously, it was said that Xin Zhui, the mummy of Mawangdui, was the mother of Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty. The tombs at that time were quite well built. By Liu Che's generation, I think the technology would have improved a lot, and the person buried was a rich woman. It really would have been... If you dig it out, I'm afraid it will shock the whole world..."

She didn't believe in immortality.

Perhaps this statement is to give this underground palace a mysterious color, so that the families who inherit the map will feel a sense of awe.

In her opinion, if it had been sealed well, what would be dug out from the ground would definitely not be a beauty like the one in the painting. At most, it would be a mummy with fully preserved muscles and bones.

This is her profession. She knows very well what state a person will end up in after death.

Therefore, she calmly woke up from that "fantasy" story and became curious about more realistic things:

"By the way, grandpa, where is the map? Can I see it?"

"It's not with me. I gave it to your brother for safekeeping. Okay, let's finish reading...I locked it...Hey, what are you doing? Don't grab it, be careful if it falls on the ground and gets broken."

Grandpa was about to put the things back into the brocade box, but Xiao Jinghuan grabbed the brocade box and saw another small brocade box inside.

"What is this?"

"It's three pieces of jade. You need jade to open the underground palace."

She opened it and saw that they were really three pieces of finely carved jade, with soft texture and charming color.

"Why three yuan?"

She took it and looked at it. Each piece of jade was tied with a red rope, with three characters engraved on it: Jin, Lu, Lan...

"Grandpa, what does the word above mean?"

Judging from the quality of these three pieces of jade, they should be carved from the same piece of jade. Their shapes are all different, and the fonts on them are all in official script.

She took the piece with the word "Jin" over, and after looking at it carefully, she came up with a guess:

"Grandpa, is this something passed down from the Jin family from the Han Dynasty?"

"Well! Okay, the appreciation is over. Now you can put it away."

Grandpa will not explain any more.

But Xiao Jinghuan was curious about these jades:

"Wait a minute, grandpa, I haven't finished reading yet! Since this is passed down from our ancestors, and 'Jin' represents the Jin family, do Lu and Lan represent the other two families among the eight guards?"

"Well! Don't look at it. You'd better pick something you like! It's nap time, grandpa, and he's going to take a nap."

Grandpa asked for the jade, put it away, and covered the brocade box.

She could only watch helplessly as he locked the brocade box, but the old man always had difficulty moving. Before he could reach the safe over there, she suddenly got there first, looked inside the safe, and found something else inside. There were other objects. Without saying anything, he reached inside and took out another sandalwood black box:

"What a strange jewelry box. It doesn't have a lid. It's completely sealed."

She exclaimed in surprise.

"Well, it's not covered. There is a mechanism on top. If you touch the mechanism, the contents inside will be pushed up automatically."

Grandpa answered while putting away the gold and jade box.

"How to open it? Please try opening it and let me see it!"

She looked forward to it eagerly.

He thought that grandpa might be annoyed and unwilling, but he laughed, took it, and actually agreed.

But seeing him press the carved flower core several times regularly, the sandalwood box was pushed out layer by layer like magic. Finally, a jade pendant was pushed up from the inside, but it was a jade pendant. Blooming jade hibiscus.

"it's beautiful."

Xiao Jing sighed in joy, with a look of love in her eyes.

"Grandpa, I want this."

she blurted out.

"Ghost girl, you know how to be a good thief with me..."

Grandpa smiled helplessly and cursed.

"Will it work or not?"

Xiao Jinghuan observed carefully and felt that her grandfather was not particularly reluctant, and felt that there was a way to do this.

"Okay, okay...I'll give it to you..."

"Thank you, grandpa, come here and have some fragrance..."

Xiao Jing is full of joy

I happily kissed my grandpa again on the face.

"Grandpa, is there any allusion to this thing?"

After what happened just now, she realized deeply that her grandfather's treasure house was really interesting!

"It is said that it was something that Chu Chaoyang used during his lifetime and was given to the wife of Jin's ancestor. Then, this thing was passed down from generation to generation. Your great-grandmother wore it when she was young. Later, she was afraid of breaking it, so she kept it as a gift. Keep the collectibles. If you want it, I’ll give it to you...If you really count the money for this thing, it’s a sky-high price..."

Grandpa took the jade hibiscus and said:

"Come, grandpa will put it on for you."

"Thank you, grandpa."

Xiao Jinghuan turned her back, squatted down, and let her grandpa put it on, feeling very happy in her heart.

At this moment, none of them knew that this jade hibiscus had another special purpose. Of course, that was a story for another day - a digression - see you tomorrow. Thank you to all the friends who sent me monthly tickets, flowers, diamonds, and red envelopes in October. I sincerely thank you...
