Jiu'er always likes to go to bed early, and was delayed for a lot of time today. He originally planned to go back to the room to sleep, but when he saw the box Tang Ji held in his arms, he became interested and followed Jiang Ran quietly, but the two of them
As soon as she entered the room, she closed the door and shouted quickly: "Uncle, Miss!"
Tang Ji's voice immediately came from the room: "Jiu'er, it's getting late, go back and have a rest!"
"Humph!" Jiu'er stomped her feet with some dissatisfaction. If she had known better, she would have held the young lady's clothes, raised her hand and patted the door, and walked toward the house on the other side with her mouth pouted.
In the room, Jiang Ran stroked her lips and snickered, then said: "That girl will pester me again tomorrow to ask questions about this and that."
"It's time for her to grow, so she should rest early." Tang Ji put the wooden box on the table and played with the key in his hand.
After listening to his words, Jiang Ran blinked her beautiful eyes and said softly: "Oh, does your husband mean that I have passed the age of growing up?"
Hearing this, Tang Ji turned to look at her, glanced up and down twice, and finally stopped at her pair of erect peaks. He swallowed and shook his head: "It's big enough, there's no need to grow any longer."
Jiang Ran noticed his gaze and understood the meaning of his words. Her face instantly turned red and she sneered: "Big hooligan!"
Then, she clasped her hands together in her belly, walked slowly to the round table, and looked down at the exquisite brown wooden box: "Is this brought back from the Yang family?"
"Well, there are mother's relics inside." Tang Ji roughly recounted the content of his previous chat with Yang Kangping. As he spoke, he inserted the bronze key into the keyhole and twisted it slightly.
There was a soft sound.
Seeing that the box had been opened, Tang Ji took a deep breath, slowly opened the lid of the wooden box, and saw clearly the pile of items placed inside.
In an instant, Tang Ji and Jiang Ran looked surprised at the same time, their eyes locked on an old tiger-head shoe.
"This is..." Tang Ji held the tiny tiger-head shoe in his hand and raised his eyes to look at Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran's breathing was a little urgent. The shoe was exactly the same as the one in the bag that Yang's mother gave to her in Yuexian Tower. She stopped thinking about it and turned around and walked towards the secret door connecting her room.
Tang Ji looked at her back, suppressed his somewhat confused mood, and continued to check other items in the wooden box.
The space in this box is not very large. Normally, it can only hold a dozen books. In addition to the pair of shoes, there is also a round bronze mirror, a rosewood comb and an emerald green bracelet. On both sides
There are several envelopes sandwiched between each, and several pieces of yellowed rice paper are placed underneath.
Tang Ji carefully took out the bronze mirror and placed it on the table, picked up the rice paper underneath, glanced at it, and couldn't help but widen his eyes: "This, is this the land deed of the Yang family?"
My mother had been dead for many years, so it was naturally impossible for me to leave the land deed to myself. The only possibility was for the kind-hearted old man. It seemed that there were not only mother's relics, but also grandpa's relics stored here.
When Tang Ji was sitting on the carriage, he was considering whether to go to the Yang family to pay homage and see Yang Kangping off for the last two days, but he was also afraid that the Yang family would not welcome him, and that it would cause conflicts and disturb the deceased.
, but it’s different now. The Yang family’s land deed is in his hands, and anyone who dares to make a mistake will be kicked out!
Soon, Jiang Ran walked over from the secret door, holding a tiger-head shoe in his hand.
Last time, they cut off the soles of their shoes in order to get the note left by their mother. Afterwards, Jiang Ran re-sewed them up. He stroked the cute shoe twice and placed it with the one on the table.
Although the one taken out of the wooden box is a little faded, the style and size indicate that these two shoes can be made into a pair!
Jiang Ran pinched his fingers, his jade eyes full of doubts: "What on earth is going on?"
Tang Ji put the land deed in his hand aside, picked up the pair of tiger-head shoes and thought for a while: "We are of the same age, maybe tiger-head shoes like this were popular back then, why don't we cut them again and have a look?"
When Jiang Ran was sewing, he discovered that the shoe must have been made by himself. After explaining it to Tang Ji, he added: "You may not be able to find anything. Mother didn't leave you much, so why not keep it first?"
.”
Last time, a total of six notes were found among her gadgets, but nothing was found in the tiger-head shoe.
"It's okay. With you as my 'mother', I believe that even if we take it down, mother will not be angry." Tang Jidian smiled and comforted her. He first fumbled and squeezed the sole of the shoe twice. After finding no abnormality, he
Then he went to the cabinet next to the desk and took out a sharp dagger.
He skillfully stood up the shoe and cut off the thick sole. The blade quickly split the heel into two halves. Just when he thought his efforts were in vain, he found a hole in the front half. He frowned and was cautious.
Cut the piece open.
I saw that a one-inch hole had been dug out in the entire front half. The inside was different from the last note. This time, two complete papers were folded and stored in it, which just filled the small hole. No wonder he just
No abnormalities were found during compression.
Tang Ji took out the paper and looked up at Jiang Ran: "I don't know what secrets are hidden in this."
After finishing speaking, he opened the paper.
Jiang Ran brought his head closer and saw that the two pieces of paper were also yellowed. As Tang Ji opened them completely, the unclear ink marks inside were revealed.
[At the end of the thirteenth year of Dingwu, I was more than six months pregnant. With the help of Tianxuan, the commander of the Forbidden Army, I escaped from Kyoto City. I happened to meet Tang Yin and his wife on the way, so I took them with me to the place where my husband had secretly purchased in Muzhou.
temporary residence in his mansion;
On the second day of March the following year, I gave birth to a daughter, named Jiang Ran; on the eighth day of the following month, You Shuli gave birth to a son and a daughter, the daughter was named Tang Yuan and the son was named Tang Ji;
...
On May 19th, the second year of Yuanqi, Ran'er was naughty and accidentally fell into the water. Fortunately, Tang Ji rescued him;
In the second year of Yuan Qi, on October 14th, I was determined to find out the truth behind the military rebellion in order to protect my husband, but I was afraid that something unfortunate would happen and my daughter would be left alone in the world. I wanted to entrust Ran'er to Shuli, but unexpectedly the Yang family would investigate.
When we arrived in Muzhou, Shuli planned to return to Kyoto with me.
Returning to Beijing this time will be a disaster.
As a parent, you have failed to fulfill your responsibilities of nurturing me. However, mother, I am sorry for you.】
After reading this diary-like content, Tang Ji frowned slightly. His mother actually knew his mother-in-law. Fortunately, they didn't make any arrangements for themselves and Ranran. Otherwise, readers would have scolded this plot as ridiculous. However, from it,
Judging from the content, Tang Yuan and he should be twins. Where did the sister go? Also, does the death of the mother have something to do with the mother-in-law?
This series of questions echoed in his mind, giving Tang Ji a headache. When he turned his head, he found that Jiang Ran's cheeks were already covered with tears.
"Ah, my little ancestor, why are you crying again?" Tang Ji quickly took her into his arms and bowed his head to wipe away Jiang Ran's tears.
Jiang Ran leaned on his chest, hugged Tang Ji tightly, and said in silence: "I didn't blame mother, I really didn't."
"Yes, I know." Tang Ji put his chin against her head and patted her back to comfort her.
