The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 925 The Dusty Secret

His first phone call was Han Xiaohu, Xiaotianhu.

"Xiaohu, I'm Gu Tianen."

"Hey, Master Gu, what's the matter?"

"I just received news from Songjiang that a Tana car with a Hengdian license plate was set on fire at the Songjiang pier, and my boss's goods were also burned."

"..." Han Xiaohu looked dull.

"The license plate found over there is Peng Dali's car."

"Diligently." The corner of Han Xiaohu's mouth twitched slightly: "I, I don't know. Dali told me that he is going to Songjiang in the next two days. He is fine. How do you burn your boss's goods?"

"Do you know who else went with Dali?"

"I don't know, it should be a partnership with him in business. He is now in business with others, and he doesn't pay attention to me as the boss anymore. Master Gu, I really don't know about this." Han Xiaohu Quickly explain.

"It's all right, I'll just ask. My boss in Songjiang didn't suffer any serious losses. If there is any misunderstanding, you can sit down and talk about it."

The two chatted briefly, Gu Tianen hung up, and made another call again.

Xu Ying was on the other end of the phone.

As soon as Xu Ying returned home, she received a call from Gu Tianen.

She was a little strange: "Hi, Mr. Gu."

Gu Tianen said: "Miss Xu, I just received a call from Songjiang. It seems that Ding Yi and Peng Dali went to Songjiang for business and were ambushed."

"..." Xu Ying was stunned for a moment, and her face immediately became ugly.

Gu Tianen promised me back then that he would not move him for a year?
"I swear to Miss Xu, I really didn't do this." Gu Tianen said immediately.

Xu Ying was a little hesitant when he said this.

"I swear, if I did this, I would have given birth to a son who wouldn't be blind." Gu Tianen swore again and again.

He thought to himself, I only have daughters, and I will not have sons in the future.

"I was afraid that Ding Yi would misunderstand, so I explained to Miss Xu that I, Gu Tianen, mean what I say, and everyone in the world knows it."

Xu Ying thought about it, Gu Tianen seemed to keep his word in the past, but he was a little hesitant for a while.

But she didn't expect that a person who has always kept his promises, it is rare for a person not to keep his promises, but it is easy to deceive the world.

"Why did he come to Songjiang?" Xu Ying suddenly thought of the familiar figure she saw in the cemetery, and couldn't help but tremble. Is that Ding Yi?

Why did Ding Yi come to our cemetery?

"I don't know, Miss Xu can ask him." Gu Tianen said calmly.

If you know that Ding Yi is going to buy handguns, you know that I was right to strike first.

After hanging up the phone, the more Xu Ying thought about it, the more she realized that the figure behind her was Ding Yi.

Why did Ding Yi come to our cemetery?

Her mind was in a mess, and she didn't know why?
Sudden.

Bang, bang, someone knocked on her door.

"Enter." Xu Ying said.

The door opened, and a mature woman in her 30s entered.

The woman looks quite like Xu Ying. If Ding Yi were here, he might feel that this woman is a bit like the Xu family back then.

The woman's name is Xu Biyun, she is Xu Ying's aunt, and she is also the chairman of the board of directors of the Xu Group.

Strange to say, since the Xu family took charge of the Xu family back then, with Ding Yi's support, the Xu family's business has grown bigger and bigger.

After the Xu family, most of the patriarchs in the past were women.

Men from the Xu family seem to be inferior to women in terms of business.

Of course, it may be the reason of Ding Yi back then. No one else in the Xu family dared to fight for power with the Xu family. After the Xu family, it was passed on to his daughter Xu Ying. Get used to it slowly.

So for so many years, the Xu family has always been headed by women.

The men of Xu's family are basically idle, eating, drinking and having fun, not doing business.

"Sister-in-law." Xu Ying saw her aunt with a smile on her face.

"Your grandma is going to move to my house. The ancestral house will be sealed up after cleaning. Do you want to go and see if there is anything to drink? I remember that when you were young, you liked to look for things inside."

Xu Ying was overjoyed when she heard that: "There are good things in the ancestral house, I'm going to get the antiques."

The ancestral house they mentioned was the place where Xu Shi and Xu Ying both lived in the past.

The two went to the ancestral house with great interest.

The Xu family's ancestral house consists of four courtyards. The place is quite large. Now it is going to be cleaned up and sealed up. Many servants are waiting outside.

When the two entered the ancestral house, Xu Ying began to sweep around.

There are many antiques in the ancestral house, including a large number of treasures from the Rende period, and some left over from the Ming Dynasty.

Xu Ying rummaged around, looking for interesting things, and suddenly found a box from the depths of an old cabinet, which was still locked.

The box has not been opened for many years, and there is a thick layer of dust on it.

"Auntie, what's here?"

Xu Biyun picked it up and took a look. After sweeping off the dust, a word "Sakura" appeared on the box.

"This is left by your wife and grandma. It is Xu Ying from the Rende period, and has the same pronunciation as you."

"Can I open it and have a look?" Xu Ying asked.

Xu Biyun hesitated for a while. It has been more than 100 years, so it can't be sealed in this room forever?
"Well, you can open it and have a look. If you don't want it, you can seal it here, and if you like it, take it away."

"Okay." Xu Ying picked it up, thought about it, put it aside first, and asked someone to open it later.

That day, she found several things in the ancestral house, all of which were old antiques, which were quite valuable outside, and finally returned to her yard with the boxes in her hands.

Then she got a servant to help her open the box with tools.

After sending the servants out, Xu Ying carefully opened the box.

Beep, the box made a crisp sound.

She looked expectantly.

Xu Ying was also a legendary figure back then. She served the emperor when she entered the palace, and later left the palace. It is said that she was unwilling to leave the palace back then, crying like something, and it was Xu who went to pick her up in person.

After returning, she never married, but not long after she came back, she adopted a child who was several years old at the time.

A child of several years old suddenly appeared in the Xu family and became an important heir of the Xu family.

And Xu Ying's branch was inherited from that child.

At that time, there were a lot of gossip outside. Some people said that it was born by the emperor and Xu Ying. It was raised in the palace all the time, and Xu Ying brought it back after she came back. Otherwise, why would she cry and refuse to come back.

Some people also said that Xu Ying promised the emperor not to marry, and just found a wild man outside to give birth.

All kinds of rumors.

Xu Ying was also surprised to hear such rumors before, which indicated that there was something wrong with their lineage, but now, they are the important helmsmen of the Xu family.

Xu Ying didn't have much interest in Xu Ying's affairs at first, after all, this happened hundreds of years ago.

But she doesn't know the talent of fans, she has been a little confused recently, and always feels that there seems to be something guiding her in the dark.

She looked expectantly at the opened box.

"..." There was something wrapped in oiled paper in the box.

There is an oily smell after opening it.

Xu Ying gently picked it up, and when she got it in her hand, it felt like a book inside.

Ancient books are well preserved and can be stored for 1000 years.

But if it is not well preserved, it will be useless for decades.

Xu Ying wrapped it in oiled paper, probably to prevent moisture and deterioration.

She carefully opened the oiled paper, and there was another layer of silk inside.

She knew this kind of silk, and the Xu family used to be mainly engaged in this business.

Gold and silver threads are added to the silk, which was a skill learned from Persia.

Because Persian carpets are often woven with gold and silver threads.

Only this gold and silver mixed silk can be sold for at least tens of thousands in the current Daqian.

Xu Ying's expression became richer, and she carefully unwrapped the silk again.

I was dizzy, Xu Ying got harder and harder when she started it, and when she opened the silk, she found that there was a sandalwood box inside.

She couldn't help but smile wryly, this sandalwood box must be worth at least tens of thousands.

After so many years, the sandalwood was fragrant, and after opening the silk, she smelled it a few times, and immediately felt refreshed.

She feels that it should be made of ambergris wood, which is relatively valuable and rare now.

Fortunately, the wooden box was not locked, so she pulled it hard a few times.

Ba, finally opened the small wooden box.

Upon closer inspection, there was only a booklet inside.

Let me go, Xu Ying thought it was a book before, but when she saw the sandalwood wood, she thought it might be some precious little jewelry inside, but she didn't expect it to be a book.

This book is in such good condition that after more than 100 years, it is still as good as new.

She took out the book and found that it was a handwritten book.

The characters on it are beautiful and beautiful, and they were written by Xu Ying herself.

She opened the first page, and it shocked her the first time.

"On December [-]th of the third year of Chongzhen, a man named Ding Yi lived in our house the next day—"

"I just want to find something to eat. I didn't expect him to drag my mother to the kitchen. It's still daytime."

"Mother crouched before the fire like a puppy—"

Swipe, Xu Ying's face turned red.

"In the first year of Rende, on the second day of May, I heard the news that the palace is going to recruit female officials. I want to be a female official. My mother strongly opposes it. I know why in my heart. I just want to go. She hasn't cared about me all these years. , are you afraid that I will compete for favor now?"

"In the second year of Rende, on February [-]th, the emperor pretended not to be happy to pay attention to me every day, but I knew that when my graceful figure was turned away from him, he would secretly look at me."

"Men don't have a good thing, the emperor wants to but dare not."

"The stinky and shameless Zeng Rou knelt in front of Ding Yi in the East Nuan Pavilion. She knew I was hiding behind and did this on purpose. She is really shameless."

"The second year of Rende, in March, the weather is good today, and I'm in a good mood."

"I didn't expect Ding Yi to be able to sing, that bad woman Gu Hengbo was actually moved by Ding Yi's song."

"It's a pity that Ding Yi only sang it once, I didn't learn it, but I memorized a few lines of the lyrics-"

This is a youthful diary of a little girl, and Xu Ying records all her thoughts in it.

Xu Ying could clearly feel the change in her heart. From the beginning, she was called the emperor, and then called Ding Yi by name.

Xu Ying looked at it for a long time, and finally found out that Xu Ying started to enter the palace because the Xu family did not pay much attention to her because of business in the early years, so she wanted to take revenge.

Then slowly, Xu Ying probably fell in love with the rogue emperor Ding Yi and became a crush.

But no matter how hard she tried, Ding Yi just didn't touch her.

Emperor Taizu was not as barbaric and greedy for women as the folklore said?

The more Xu Ying watched, the more surprised she became.

Because of folklore and various TV movies, Taizu Ding Yi has been filmed as a lustful, perverted and treacherous king who plays with other people's wives and daughters.

But judging from Xu Ying's diary, Ding Yi still has a bottom line.

Xu Ying repeated two lines of the lyrics at this time, because in her impression, the folk songs were not popularized.

She's never heard of it.

It has never appeared in various books and film and television dramas.

Taizu can sing?It's really interesting.
