My mother took the golden round ball. The soil attached to it still smelled rancid, so she put it into the basin and wiped it carefully with a cloth.
After finishing, she picked it up and walked to the sun to check it. She murmured in confusion: "How is it possible...how is it possible..."
"This is a golden phoenix. The phoenix is very small. The phoenix feathers on the tail are carved differently. They are all carved into goldfish tails, with five tails." My mother looked at me deeply, wiped the lower right corner of the phoenix repeatedly, and handed it to me.
Show me.
A seal character "衿" is embedded with green and black dirt, making it look a little distorted.
"No one has ever carved a phoenix tail like this. It's the carving method of a dragon's tail!" He looked at the word in confusion and said, "If this thing belongs to Zijin, then who is the baby's body behind the thatched hut?
"
When my mother heard this, she grabbed my hand in confusion and became slightly excited, so she told her in detail.
On the night when I stayed in the thatched cottage, while looking at the moon, I noticed a faint green light shining in the grass. At that time, I thought it must be a will-o'-the-wisp, because I had seen it with my own eyes at my grandma's house in the countryside when I was a child. I was a little scared, so I didn't dare to go and take a look.
After all, I secretly noted the location and went to take a closer look the next day.
The next day, I walked there and saw a small bag of soil while leaving the grass behind. I dug it open and vomited it out, making my intestines knotted. It was a lump of dark brown putrefaction. I carefully identified it and it should be...
It was a baby corpse, and when I saw the Tuanfeng, I thought it was a longevity lock, so I wrapped it up in a handkerchief without thinking too much.
"Mom, what do you think this is?" Mom handed Tuanfeng to me and asked me to put it away carefully. The mystery in my heart was getting bigger and bigger, so she asked her.
My mother's eyes were vague, as if she was immersed in memories: "Zijin was born in the same year as your fourth brother. After he was born, his health was not good because he was not full-term. From the time she was born to the age of three, except for a few servants who served her
People, other people rarely see her. This phoenix was made by your aunt to keep her daughter safe. She ordered people to build it according to her wishes. If you don’t look carefully, you won’t be able to see any clues. In the winter of that year, Zijin was on the fifth
When you were one month old, you contracted a disease. All the famous doctors in the imperial capital could not cure it. It happened that your father had not returned from a mission to another country for half a year. At that time, there was a chaos in the mansion, and the eldest lady was even more panicked like a spinning top. Not only because
Zijin was the only young lady in the house at that time, and it was because a divine fortune teller had once looked at the face of the eldest lady and marveled that she was destined for glory and wealth. There was a daughter who was the emperor Yan of Fengwu Jiutian, who was the queen's destiny." Niang Yue
The angrier she became, the hand holding the tea cup tightened, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Why would a rough general like her be so proud and prosperous? God has no eyesight! Then Liu Zijin didn't let us go when he became the queen! Old man
The sky has no eyes!..."
I quickly shushed my mother to keep her voice down, and anxiously comforted her and said: "Mom, it's over after it's over. From now on, she'll live hers and we'll live ours. Fourth brother has a lot of money, plus... plus...
Prince Shangning, I believe that no matter how difficult it is for us, it will not be like this."
My mother opened her mouth slightly, grabbed my hand, and dug her nails into the flesh. She couldn't bear the pain and looked at her and said excitedly: "Pei'er, tell mother where the body is, the baby's body! I just felt something was wrong.
It was clear that the miracle doctor was at his wits' end, so how could he be alive all of a sudden? How could a dying child become more alive after being locked up for a few months? There is something fishy! Pei'er, be good, tell your mother, it's not right. The more you think about it, the more wrong it becomes. That Feng Tuan obviously brought
Regarding the child, it was only said that it was lost. With her character, how could she be fine with such a valuable item? Why didn’t she punish those mothers? No, it’s really wrong. How could it happen if something was lost?
Buried together with a dead baby! That’s not right..."
"Oh, mother! Stop talking!" I looked out the window impatiently, stroking her bloody hand and said, "Did you just go to the thatched cottage? If someone finds out, I won't let you go.
Yes, if you really have any secrets, they will kill you! Mom, it’s better to have more things to worry about than less things to do, and just live with it." Looking at Lu'er and the others appearing at the door, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but they couldn't help but look worriedly at the people who were falling into frenzied speculation.
My mother, if I had known earlier, I shouldn't have shown her the phoenix group and talked about the dead baby.
My mother glanced at me with disappointment, wanted to say something but smiled feebly, noticed my hand, looked at it distressedly, and blew lightly.
Lu'er walked in and told me that someone had been sent down the mountain to prepare what I wanted, and that it would be delivered before midnight. She nodded. Although Lu'er was a little nervous, she was very strict about time, especially in terms of timeliness.
I'm quite satisfied.
Seeing that it was getting late, I sent my mother down the mountain. I repeatedly whispered to my mother not to act rashly and to give up the idea of further exploration. My mother looked at me for a long time and asked softly, "Daughter, don't you hate me?"
I smiled and shook my head, hugged my mother, and said with a slightly sour nose, "Mom, nothing is more important than your life. I will be very satisfied if I seize what I love, and that is happiness."
My mother cried and nodded, big tears rolled down on my hands, and I felt hot in my heart.
