All kinds of evidence are already obvious! The fellow countryman probably lived in this house!
Qiao Lan was immediately itchy and wanted to see the glass nameplate on it, but unfortunately she couldn't reach it, so she had to settle for the next best thing and look at what the system scanned for her.
It’s such a dusty mass that you can’t tell it’s glass at all!
"This has been gathering dust for a long time!"
[Baby, it has been gathering dust for at least two hundred years.]
Fortunately, this thing is made of glass and should be very washable.
Qiao Lan thought for a while and turned her attention to another doubt about this matter.
"Since you scanned the entire Ancestral Temple, you must have seen the jade butterflies in the Ancestral Temple. Show me the jade butterflies you scanned out!" Qiao Lan said.
The emperor's name is so noble that ordinary people would never know it. Especially the emperors hundreds of years ago could only know the name of their country at most.
The jade butterfly is different, the emperor's name will be engraved on it.
The Jade Butterfly was placed in the most heavily guarded temple in the Imperial Ancestral Temple, preventing ordinary people from getting close. Fortunately, the system is a high-tech product and has very strong capabilities.
Sure enough, Chu Yunqi's name was engraved on the oldest piece of jade butterfly in the innermost part.
qi?The name of Emperor Gaozu?
Isn’t this right?
As a housewife, Qiao didn't have much memory about Emperor Gaozu.
Qiao Lan suddenly turned her gaze to her side and looked at Duan Mingqing in the hall. As a scholar, she should read some history books.
Qiao Lan asked Aunt Xiang to go out and ask for hot water. While calling Duan Mingqing over, she opened the system map and quietly paid attention to the surrounding movements.
"Qing'er, have you heard of the rumors about Gaozu during the founding of Beijing?" Qiao Lan asked.
Duan Mingqing took a step forward after hearing the words and rummaged through the things in his mind. Although he didn't know why his mother asked such a question, Duan Mingqing had already guessed that it had something to do with the pillar next to it.
"Gaozu was originally a child of a small noble family. Later, during troubled times, he was alone and was called into the army. He made many military exploits in the army, won the trust of the generals at the time, and rose through the ranks."
"Gaozu became famous thanks to a battle in the north. Gaozu once led an army back and forth in the wind and sand for several months, and no one in the army was lost in the sand. After this battle, Gaozu gained the trust of Shangguan.
, granted the title of General."
"After several years of fighting, Gaozu loved the people like a son, won the trust of the people, and had both political integrity and talent, so he was promoted to the throne by the people. Legend has it that there were immortals who came to earth to help Gaozu achieve his imperial career."
Duan Mingqing said what he knew.
Qiao Lan listened and analyzed. The so-called immortal was questionable, and the immortal was most likely her fellow villager.
How could a noble man enter the military camp alone? Without any servants?
Gaozu must have been of mediocre origin.
As for the great ancestor's young talent, his literary skills and his military skills, he led his army in and out of the wind and sand.
If there was really a huge sandstorm, the people there might not be able to get out of it relying on technology, let alone this era.
There was a Si Nan in the previous dynasty, but Si Nan was very valuable. How could a small leader have someone like Si Nan to identify the method during the march and war?
Qiao Lan suspected that this might be helped by fellow time travellers.
Finally, based on the contents of the diary, the senior said that he had a dispute with his friend because he did not value people's lives and violated his original purpose.
Qiao Lan suspected that the person who was loved by the people in the so-called history books was not the great ancestor at all, but the fellow traveler.
The fellow traveler met Gaozu, who had not yet achieved hegemony, and helped Gaozu conquer the world and accumulate prestige.
It was only later that the two people had different ideas and fell apart.
So whenever fellow time-travelers feel sad, they start writing an English diary to record these things.
As for why the English diary was carved on the pillar?
Qiao Lan thought that the time-travelers should interpret English as scriptures and use them to pray for blessings.
There was no way he could say it was a ghost-drawing talisman.
After drawing blessing words on the pillars and adding the piece of glass on the beam, Qiao Lan suddenly figured out a lot.
The palace in the Imperial Ancestral Temple was so dilapidated and sealed up. Qiao Lan had reason to suspect that in the eyes of future generations, this house was an ominous place.
At that time, Emperor Gaozu carved these things on the pillars because of certain things, and they were not used to pray for blessings.
If it is to pray for blessings, why not set up an inscription in an open and honest manner, or leave this fellow's name in the history books?
Instead, they called him an immortal, and even carved these things on the pillars, as if to erase some traces, which was too obvious.
Gaozu was also the emperor, how could he listen to his subordinates?
Qiao Lan felt that there must have been a lot of unpleasant things between them.
Hundreds of years are too long, and there are many things that are unclear and no one knows.
As for whether this intention is good or bad, Qiao Lan doesn't know.
That fellow countryman witnessed the rise of Beijing, and she came to witness the decline of Beijing, which can be regarded as coming and going.
"Mom, is something wrong?" Duan Mingqing asked, seeing Qiao Lan lowering her head for a long time.
Qiao Lan was immersed in the sadness of finding and losing her fellow villagers, feeling inexplicably sad in her heart.
The words on the pillar reminded her inexplicably of the years decades ago and the people she met during those years.
"I just think of some things from the past..." Qiao Lan said.
Duan Mingqing was a smart man. Seeing that Qiao Lan didn't mean to talk much, he naturally didn't ask any more questions.
-
On the second day, Qiao Lan and others went to the Ancestral Temple to kneel and pray. A group of people knelt in the hall, coming and going.
Qiao Lan sang the lyrics along with the surrounding monks and fished in silence.
The Little Ice Age was determined by climate, so there is no point in praying for blessings.
She really wanted to know about that senior now, and wished someone could tell her about it.
Qiao Lan thought about it for a while, finally calmed down the restlessness in her heart and prayed quietly.
The three days of fishing passed quickly. Apart from eating and sleeping, Qiao Lan spent the rest of her time praying, either praying in front of the clay sculptures in the house or praying outside.
On the afternoon of the last day, Qiao Lan summoned the two people around him out for an excuse.
Then I rented a ladder several meters high from the system, climbed to the beam, and got the glass nameplate on it.
Just like the system said, it's full of dust.
The glass nameplate is three to four centimeters thick, with at least one centimeter of gray on it.
After Qiao Lan got it, she slowly climbed down from the ladder and threw the nameplate into the basin.
The dust was so thick that it was like a handful of flour sprinkled into the water. It was dark and all floated on the water.
Qiao Lan shook the sign in the water and washed it for a long time before picking it up.
Two people holding it in their hands and looking at the engraving on the sign.
It is a half-length figure of a man and a woman leaning against each other. The man is wearing glasses and the woman has flowers in her hair. Both of them are very young.
A line of time is marked below.
1923.8.12
Engraved in the Tanus Memorial Hall and given to my wife, Ms. Zhao, to wish you a happy wedding.
It's all written in English.
Digression: Pinyin began to be used in 1955, and there was no Pinyin in the era when the time-travelers came.
In 1899, glass bottles of Coke appeared with trademarks on them, and some hard glass was often used to engrave some souvenirs.
