boudoir

Chapter 166 What is your uncle's last name?

As he spoke, he took out a copper key from his cuff, looked at it, and handed it to her, saying: "This is one of the keys to open the copper box. The master said that the box is a mother-in-law lock, but there are two keys." He said that there is still one on you. When you get the two keys, go to the White Horse Temple and open the copper box. Now that Marshal Qi is still in court, it is time for me to deliver this to you. "

"But when I find the key, where can I get the copper box?" Liuli asked quickly.

"I don't know about this either." He frowned, "Master didn't say anything, maybe you can ask the abbot when the time comes."

Only then did Liuli solemnly take the copper spoon over, as if what followed was Grandpa's will.The White Horse Temple outside Beijing is the temple where Yongxin, who came to the mansion to help the old lady avoid disasters, stayed. Why did my grandfather put such an important thing there?She also said that she had a key with her, but she never remembered such a thing!

I remember that when she wrote her name in front of Yongxin, Yongxin had a surprised expression. Could it be that he knew something?
After thinking for a moment, she carefully put the copper spoon into her purse, looked at Xu Yuan opposite, pursed her lips and said, "Master Uncle is really a gentleman who keeps his promise. Grandpa is under the nine springs, and he will definitely do it for a disciple like you." I am gratified."

"No," Xu Yuan shook his head, "This is what I should do. I owe it to Mr.

I don't know when, the uncle in his mouth has become "Sir", Liuli looked at him for a moment, remembering the little son of the Dou family who he said earlier, his heart suddenly moved, and he said softly: "Uncle, are you really surnamed Xu?"

Xu Yuan was startled, then suddenly poured down another glass of wine. "Is it important? Anyway, in this life, I have been the master and my father. Alright," he suddenly stood up, facing the outside and said, "I have done what the master asked me to do. From now on, as long as you do well Don’t reveal this passage. Once your life experience is disclosed, it will only trouble you, not benefit you. Master does not want us to enter the officialdom, but you have already been involved, and there is no way to withdraw. I also I hope you will find a satisfactory husband and live a good life in the future. If there is anything in the future, you can come to Sichuan to find me at any time. Just like now, whatever you want my uncle to do, I will do it for you do it!"

"Uncle!" Liuli rushed over to hug his arm, "Then you're not coming back to the capital?"

Xu Yuan looked up at the roof and exhaled, "Maybe not."

Liuli said anxiously: "Then it's hard for me to see you? If one day the Dou family is rehabilitated, then the little master can stand up and upright?!"

"Rehabilitation——" Xu Yuan suddenly turned around, shook his head sadly, and said, "This day will never happen. You should know that the prince back then is now the Holy One. Since he was the one who concocted the unjust case back then, and How could they rehabilitate them? Master said at the beginning that if a person lives because of hatred, he might as well die. Master uncle is very happy in Sichuan and Sichuan. He has made some money from business in the past two years. In the future, if you want money, Just write a letter, your teacher's wife is also very good, she will give you a little brother soon, now, what else can I be dissatisfied with?"

He didn't directly admit that he was the only surviving young master of the Dou family, but now Liuli is like a bright mirror.After my grandfather resigned, Uncle Xu worshiped him as his teacher, and followed him to the south of the Yangtze River, and never asked about the rivers and lakes.

Liuli wanted to say something else, she knew that he also hoped to be rehabilitated one day, but seeing him like this, she couldn't bear to break his happiness.If people like Grandpa are willing to be mediocre, no one can complain that fate is unfair to them.

"It's rare to see each other, then master, please sit down."

Liuli seemed to be begging for authenticity.

Xu Yuan looked at her, then sat down again, except for the slight worry under his brows, the rest of his expression was already calm. "I heard that it is very good that you study with the female officials around the eldest princess. The eldest princess was also talented and beautiful back then, and the female officials around her were not idle people. If the master didn't deliberately distance himself from the palace, he at least They are all Fu Ma Ye."

Liuli was choked and coughed, "You mean that the eldest princess also took a fancy to grandpa?"

"That's not true." Xu Yuan said: "It's the fourth princess, who was called Princess Yitai at the time, and now she is Mrs. Marquis Weiyuan. At that time, she had a special liking for Master, but she was also a very straightforward woman. When Master rejected her , After marrying the teacher's wife instead, she let go of these thoughts and formed a brother and sister with the teacher. In the future, if the fact that you are Mr. Lanqing's granddaughter is revealed, you may be able to get closer to her. If she still Remember the friendship you had with Master back then, it should help you. But now you don’t know what His Majesty thinks about Master, so it’s not appropriate to tell him yet.”

Liuli didn't expect that there was such an exciting inside story. Although Madam Weiyuanhou had never seen it before, how could she not know it?Unexpectedly, she turned out to be Princess Yitai who admired her grandfather!Keep Xu Yuan's words in mind now, and only wait for the opportunity to meet in the future.

Seeing Xu Yuan drinking alone, remembering that there was Jin Xuan who drank with him when he was young, Jin Xuan who wanted to teach him bad chess has not been seen for many years, so he couldn't help saying: "It would be great if Uncle Jin was here, I really want to you."

Xu Yuandao: "Now he has opened two more noodle restaurants, he has become a grandfather, and he is very busy all day long."

Liu Li said: "That's right, how did Uncle Jin recognize Grandpa?"

Xu Yuan paused, glanced at her and said, "Wait for him to tell you in the future."

Liuli was not disappointed.

The gathering lasted from noon until the sun went down, until Xu Yuan's attendants came in and urged him to hurry back to the post office in the light of day, Liuli then realized that he was still living in the post house outside the capital, it seems that this young Dou family Sure enough, the young master still has incomparable taboos towards the capital, and he refuses to spend even one night in this world.Liuli felt sorry for the more than 100 people who died unjustly in the Dou family, and even more so for him.But no matter the court or the inner courtyard of the deep house, wherever there are people, there is the rule of the jungle, which can never be eliminated.

What Xu Yuan brought to Liuli this time was not only the comfort from relatives, but also the confirmation that her grandfather was the legendary Mr. Lan Qing, and it also left her with many unknown questions.

First of all, where is the key to open the copper box?Since grandpa said he gave it to her, it must have been given to her, but why can't she remember?Then what was written in the oracle that the first emperor gave him back then?Why did Grandpa have to wait until Marshal Qi was still in court before asking Uncle Xu to give her the key?Apart from the first emperor and grandfather, who else knows about this oracle?

He Yuli has been asking Shuangxi to look for things around her, could this be what he was looking for?

If He Yuli was really looking for this, then what did he use it for?
Liuli asked Rui'er to take the copper key and search twice in all the storage places in the house, but she still couldn't find any suspicious key.Because I kept worrying about this matter in my heart, when I was lost in class in Wutong courtyard, I was knocked hard by Guo Xia a few times.

Guo Xia left her behind after school, and said seriously, "What are you thinking about in class today? You are always so half-hearted, how did you study well?"

Liuli quickly saluted her deeply, and said, "It's the student's fault. The student has unanswered questions, so he lost his mind."

"What question?" Guo Xia thought it was in a book.

Liuli pursed her lips before saying, "Sir, I'm asking you something. Do you know that the house of Dou Jue, a young teacher in Yanping in 24 years, was ransacked?"

Guo Xia suddenly opened his eyes wide and held his breath for a long time before saying: "Who told you this?!"

Seeing her appearance, Liuli couldn't help being a little nervous, swallowed her saliva and said, "It's what my uncle said. My uncle came to visit me from Sichuan and Shu a few days ago, and mentioned a few words about this by the way. I'm a little curious, I want to Sir, you should have known at that time, so I asked."

Guo Xia's face turned pale, and she stared at her for a long time before turning away, staring at a picture of a galloping horse on the wall, and said, "That's too tragic! No one who saw Dou's family silenced back then I would like to think about this incident. Their house is close to Wangfu Street. At that time, I was a female teacher and I was teaching in Chenwangfu. That night, I suddenly heard continuous screams from the direction of Shaoshifu. Tangli Buddha, don't let us go out to see it. All in all, few people are willing to mention this matter now, and you should not mention it in the future!"

"But," Liu Li bit her lip and said, "Does no one think this is an unjust case?"

Guo Xia turned around, walked in front of her with frowned eyebrows, "What was decided by the late emperor, how could it be an unjust case?! This matter ends here, and you are not allowed to pursue it any further!"

"I would like to follow Mr.'s order." Liuli could only nod in agreement.

In the end, this incident became her heart disease, which lasted for many years.

On the day Uncle Xu left Beijing, Liuli toasted a glass of wine in the courtyard heading south, and then returned to the life of the mansion.

She had to come back, because at this moment, Shuhua came.

"I'm afraid Mrs. Song can't do this matter." After she came, she said with a serious face. "Mrs. Song received the news in Kunhe Palace this morning that the Holy Majesty is going to marry Qi Yunhao on the spot from among the ladies of the courtiers who came to the palace for the banquet on August [-] when he will confer titles on the Qi family and his son! When it comes to officials of rank five or higher, they must bring their wives and daughters to participate."

Marriage on the spot!Doesn't that mean it's a draft in disguise?The Holy Majesty actually paid so much attention to Qi's family!

Now even Liuli lost her sense of proportion: "Is the news reliable?"
