Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 906 An Unreliable Legend

Bai Meng asked Song Yaojia and Jin Miaomiao to stay away, took the feather duster that Shadow had found somewhere, and probed down the mouth of the gourd bottle, getting as close to the black sphere as possible.

"Hey, Commander, you're very skillful!" Song Yaojia leaned over, hugged Bai Meng's shoulders, and looked inside, "You don't look like someone who can do this kind of work, you really don't look like you! "

"Isn't that what I learned from my grandfather? The old man always takes care of the porcelain at home. He cleans up by himself, and he also pulls me to clean up. The more times you do it, the more you become proficient. It's not difficult."

Bai Meng approached the black ball cautiously, and gently rubbed the black ball with a feather duster, but nothing unusual happened.He took out the feather duster, walked to another gourd bottle with Song Yaojia hanging on his body, looked inside, and saw the black ball at the bottom.

"Hmm..." He looked at Song Yaojia who was lying on his back, and then at Jin Miaomiao who was standing aside, "Based on my shallow common sense, these two black balls should be It's turned on, but this level of touch can't turn it on. How to do it, I have to find an expert to advise. By the way, His Royal Highness, when the people in the house came to clean it, did they move it? "

"Move? Probably not, the father told them in advance that they can only clean up, try not to move, tables, chairs, benches and so on are fine, but try not to touch these easily broken porcelain."

As Song Yaojia said, he jumped off Baimeng's back, circled around the two gourd bottles and the screen a few times, and wanted to reach out to touch them, but was stopped by the shadow in time.

"Your Highness, don't touch it!" Bai Meng patted Song Yaojia's shoulder, grabbed his hand that was about to move, and pulled him away from the gourd bottle. "Be good, don't let everyone worry about you, if you touch it randomly, I will let the shadows hang you out, and won't let you see other places."

"Understood, I was just now..." Song Yaojia raised his eyebrows and let Bai Meng pull himself, "Forget it, let's not talk about it, I promise not to touch the things here. However, through these two gourd bottles , can we have a general direction."

"Do you want to pay more attention to these decorations in the late period of the previous dynasty?" Seeing Song Yaojia's expression of approval, Jin Miaomiao sighed, "It's not impossible, but there is also a problem. When the Yan family was repairing this manor, It’s not just the exterior that should be repaired, right? The interior should also be redecorated and arranged according to their preferences. I’m thinking, why did the main seat, the screen and the two gourd bottles be kept when the Yan family was repairing? This In the hall, if other furnishings have been changed, why only these are kept? According to our usual practice, shouldn’t we destroy all the previous things and start over from scratch?”

"We will definitely do this, but the old man Yan will definitely not." Song Yaojia spread his hands, "It's not easy for the old man!"

"What do you mean?"

Bai Meng waved at Jin Miaomiao, motioning her to look at him, and then tapped the green brick under her feet with her tip.

"What do you want me to see?" Jin Miaomiao looked at Bai Meng and then at Qingzhuan, "What's wrong with this brick?"

"There is no problem with the brick, but this brick is very old, it should be more than a hundred years old."

"The former court..." Jin Miaomiao swallowed, "The one left by the previous court?"

"The answer is correct, so there shouldn't be too many things that can be changed in the whole yard."

"Why? Didn't you say it cost a lot of money?" Jin Miaomiao frowned slightly, "And it took a long time? Just repair it like this?"

"Hey!" Song Yaojia patted Jin Miaomiao on the shoulder, "You also have to be considerate of Mrs. Yan, a large part of his money has been filled in holes for Yan Yuan, and what can be used to repair the house is his... He raised an eyebrow at Jin Miaomiao, "You understand."

"Understood." With a helpless expression, Jin Miaomiao followed Song Yaojia and Bai Meng out of the small door at the back of the main hall, through a winding path and a moon gate with a unique shape, to the second courtyard. "Wow, this courtyard is beautifully built!"

"The style of this courtyard is also from the previous dynasty." Song Yaojia looked around, and walked to the largest willow tree in the courtyard, "Seeing this willow tree, I remembered that there is actually an unreliable legend about this house."

"Eh?" Jin Miaomiao has always been interested in these stories, "Let's hear it."

"It's like this. Before hot springs were discovered here, before the royal family of the previous dynasty encircled it, and before a separate courtyard was built here, this was also a road leading to Xijing. It's not considered prosperous, but it's not so inaccessible. There are still some residential houses and small inns nearby. But every once in a while, there will be strange rumors, saying that in the middle of the night, the voice of a woman crying can always be heard from here. It's sobbing and sobbing, and it's quite creepy. However, there are also people with good deeds who follow the sound in the middle of the night to find it."

"What did you find?"

"Some people didn't find anything, and some people said that they vaguely saw the shadow of a weeping girl under this willow tree." Song Yaojia shrugged, "Later, a spring was found here, and the royal family of the previous dynasty completely wiped it out. It became owned by the royal family, but they heard the rumors, and they even asked some old people to inquire. The old people said that the crying was actually related to the willow tree, and the girl those people had seen was the incarnation of the willow tree. And the time when the crying sounds are more interesting, basically at the beginning of the month and around the fifteenth day. The old people said that this willow tree is very spiritual, so let them take good care of it. Later, a villa was built here, and it was very Miraculously, I never heard the cry again."

"why?"

"Then I don't know." Song Yaojia shook his head, "Maybe he is very satisfied with his new environment?"

"The whole story sounds reasonable, why is it called an unreliable legend?"

"Because it's too old." Song Yaojia sighed, "We can't be sure whether it's true or a story made up by some people to keep others away from this house."

"I understand." Jin Miaomiao nodded, "It is very likely that Tong Wang's people did not expose their secrets and kept people from approaching here, so the rumors that were released, spread, spread, and became Another taste."

"That's right!" Song Yaojia looked up at the towering willow tree, and whispered, "Perhaps you are the most important part of this house."
