peasant young lady

Chapter 224

Xu Pu glanced at Cheng Xia suddenly, before his wife could answer the question, he asked Yang Dalang first, "Do you know Shao Lin?"

Yang Dalang's eyes froze, and Xu Pu laughed suddenly. He shook his head and sighed, "You're a young man after all. You have little experience and can't hold your breath. When Wang Yue left just now, when you came out of the kitchen, your words and deeds revealed Because of your relationship with Wang Yue, you hate him, and you hate him, and you want to tear him into pieces."

Seeing Yang Dalang staring at him in disbelief, Xu Pu's smile was full of complacency, "When you first came out, although you tried your best to restrain yourself, your eyes were still looking towards the direction of the door, even though Wang Yue had gone far away. Yes. You have blue veins in your hands, sharp eyes, stiff sitting posture, and you are a little absent-minded when I talk to you. This all shows that you didn’t just come here. Tell me, who are you.”

Yang Dalang was taken aback for a moment, he didn't know that he was seen so clearly, and his self-righteous endurance had no effect in front of this old man.

Seeing Yang Dalang pondering, Xu Pu smiled slightly, "You can trust me, because although we are not friends, we are not enemies either. If you really have something to do with Shao Lin, then you don't have to worry about anything. Shao Lin is my friend." My old friend, my wife can testify to that."

Princess Yongqing nodded and said to Yang Dalang, "Actually, we can all see that you and Shao Lin look very similar."

Yang Dalang pursed his lips and nodded, "Yes, the Shao Lin you mentioned is my grandfather."

The two old people were overjoyed immediately, "Really?"

Cheng Xia and Yang Dalang nodded affirmatively, afraid that they would not believe it, Cheng Xia pulled out the jade pendant from his neck and handed it to Princess Yongqing, "This is the jade pendant inherited from the Shao family. It was left to him by his grandmother before she died."

The corners of Princess Yongqing's eyes suddenly felt wet, and her hand touching the jade pendant trembled and she couldn't believe it. After a long time, she said, "Shao Lin's wife has a very good relationship with me. We met before she got married. This She got this jade pendant after she became Mrs. Shao Lin, she showed it to me, I still remember it."

Cheng Xia and Yang Dalang looked at each other, they turned out to be old friends.

Princess Yongqing returned the jade pendant to Cheng Xia, and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "A few years after we arrived in this small town, we suddenly found out that a tragedy had happened in the Shao family in the capital, and we felt very sad, but we couldn't stop it. All this happened. I heard that the Shao family was wiped out, and now seeing you who are so similar to Shao Lin, I suddenly felt a little relieved."

There were also tears welling up in the corners of Xu Pu's eyes, but he still smiled, "How wonderful, there is still hope for everything."

Princess Yongqing raised her hand and rubbed her temples, and began to talk about the past.

"If you want to know the origin of this jade pendant, I will tell you in detail. I am a princess, and my mother's queen is still the queen of the dynasty, but my father only favors Sun Guifei. And because my mother's queen only Two princesses, and Sun Guifei gave birth to the eldest son of the father, the father deposed the mother's empress position without any reason, pushed Sun Guifei to the post, and made her son the crown prince."

Speaking of these, Princess Yongqing will always have a heartache, because of her poor mother, "Actually, my mother was not deposed, but my father asked my mother to resign from the queen's position. It's ridiculous, it's the truth. The queen mother is no longer a queen, and was sent to a Taoist temple, and was given the title of "Immortal Master Jingci". At that time, I was only three years old, but I became a princess who was ignored and could be stepped on by anyone. I have tasted the hot and cold world in the palace too early, and it is precisely because no one cares about me as a princess that I was able to help Xianzong who was deposed as the prince at that time, who is now His Majesty."

Princess Yongqing smiled suddenly, "It was a very dark history. The child called my aunt, but he was always timid. At that time, everyone in the palace could beat him, scold him and bully him, so I tried every means to bring him into the palace. The Xu family took care of him, he was grateful for my kindness, and later, after he became the emperor, he gave me this jade pendant and promised me that as long as I bring this jade pendant to see him, he will agree to any request. He went, and his children and grandchildren must do the same."

Princess Yongqing saw Cheng Xia's eyes light up instantly, and couldn't help but add, "You can only make one request, more will be useless."

That's okay too, Cheng Xia couldn't help staring at the stars, this jade pendant is equivalent to a gold medal for avoiding death.The emperor's promise is a golden mouth and jade words. Once you have this jade pendant, you can really make good use of it.

No wonder Wang Yue was so fond of it, if he took the jade pendant and hoped that His Majesty would let him be reinstated, His Majesty would not refuse.

"Back then, I was really tired of everything in the capital, so I went to this island with him, far away from everything in the capital, but we lived younger and younger." Princess Yongqing shook Xu Pu's hand, looked at each other with a smile Unspoken love.

After lunch, Cheng Xia swiftly moved all the dishes to the kitchen to clean. Princess Yongqing felt happy when she saw that she was diligent and smart, and asked her, "Do you know where I put the jade pendant?"

Cheng Xia glanced back at the kitchen and saw that there were still many scratches and broken corners on the tables and chairs. She knew that Wang Yue had indeed swept up the house at that time. Wang Yue brought so many guards but couldn't find them. Where is she? As you can guess, Cheng Xia shook her head, "Grandma should put the jade pendant in a safe place."

Princess Yongqing shook her head mysteriously, and reached out her hand to take out a jade pendant the size of a copper coin from her hair.The whole body of the jade pendant is shiny and smooth, but there is a thin red line in the middle of the jade pendant, which divides the whole jade pendant into two, which is very unique.The jade pendant was also engraved with two large characters of Yuci and the small characters of the first year of Chenghua. These few characters alone are enough to prove the value of the jade pendant.

Cheng Xia was stunned. Could it be that the most dangerous place is the safest place? "Grandma, you actually put the jade pendant in your hair?"

"Unexpectedly," Princess Yongqing smiled triumphantly, "This jade pendant is so small that I can't find it if I dig a hole in the yard, but this jade is spiritual, and it has never left my heart." After thinking about it, I put it in my hair."

"Grandma is so smart." Looking at the old man's satisfied smile, Cheng Xia felt that she was really a kind-hearted old woman.

However, thinking of the last words Wang Yue said when he left, Cheng Xia was still a little uneasy, "Grandma, Wang Yue once said that he would come to revenge you if he gained power again, I'm afraid he will really do that." After all, Wang Yue's next Yue will be able to enter the capital and become a general.

Princess Yongqing smiled lightly, "After so many years of ups and downs, are you still afraid of him? Besides, we are getting older, and we plan to return to our roots and leave here recently."

Cheng Xia is happy, just leave, "Where is grandma going?"

"Nanjing." The old man said leisurely, "Our Ming Dynasty was built from there, and it was also established from there. There are ancestors' tombs there. We plan to go to Nanjing to spend our old age in peace."

Cheng Xia nodded, Nanjing is a good choice, as long as it can be out of Wang Yue's sight.

When they were about to leave in the afternoon, the two old men asked when they would leave. Cheng Xia said that they would leave on August 25th, and then return to Qingxian Village in two days, just in time to pick up Xiaolong.

Princess Yongqing calculated that there were still a few days left, so she asked the two of them for their opinions, and wanted Cheng Xia and Yang Dalang to live in their house, Cheng Xia was naturally happy, and Yang Dalang did not refuse.

Because Xu Pu was afraid that they would refuse, he took Yang Dalang directly to his study and showed him all his rare books. Yang Dalang couldn't take his eyes off in an instant, and was about to pass in the study, which made Princess Yongqing smile heartily. .

In the next few days, Cheng Xia taught Princess Yongqing how to make rice with sea crab and mushroom vegetables, steamed eggs with clams, braised small abalone and green bamboo shoots in oil, seafood mushrooms in tomato sauce, steamed shrimp with garlic vermicelli, stewed seafood with tofu and pumpkin, sea cucumber and jujube Quinoa Soup Princess Yongqing pestered Cheng Xia to teach her new dishes every day, never letting go.Afraid of Cheng Xia's cheating, Princess Yongqing also thought of a reward measure, that is, whenever she learns a dish, she will take Cheng Xia to the most unique place in Pingtan Town to enjoy the beautiful scenery, for this honeymoon trip Not in vain, Cheng Xia can only rack his brains to think about all seafood-related dishes, only hoping to satisfy Princess Yongqing.

After living such a poetic, carefree and carefree life for a long time, Cheng Xia thought in a trance that she had got rid of Qingxian Village, which was full of trivial matters, but time always passed by in a hurry. After breakfast on the morning of the 26th, Cheng Xia and Yang Dalang were about to leave. Princess Yongqing held Cheng Xia's hand very reluctantly. After only a few days of getting along, they became familiar with each other like old friends.Especially Princess Yongqing, she has no children in her life, these days when Cheng Xia is by her side, she feels like she has become an old man enjoying family happiness again, but now that they are leaving, she just feels that her heart has been ripped out empty.

The old man couldn't stop crying, Cheng Xia couldn't bear to see it for a while, she stepped forward and hugged Princess Yongqing, gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Princess Yongqing forced a smile, and pulled Cheng Xia away a few steps, avoiding Xu Pu and Yang Dalang who were handing over the treasured copy over there, reached out and took the small jade pendant from her hair, and solemnly handed it over to her. In Cheng Xia's hand, seeing her astonished face, she just smiled, "Grandma gave you this jade pendant, and I hope you will always be successful in the future."

"Grandma!" Cheng Xia's tears fell instantly, and the old man gave her something that the old man never left.

"Take it," the old man patted her hand, "If you are free, you can come to Nanjing to find me in the future, no matter where I live at that time, I can always meet you."

Jiangnan and Jiangbei sent the king back, even if they were reluctant, they still set foot on the way home.From the small town of Pingtan to the riverside, Cheng Xia took the bloody horse and galloped all the way. Finally, at dusk on the second day, Cheng Xia returned to Qingxian Village, which was full of fireworks.

It's only been more than ten days since we left, but it seems like a hundred years since we saw each other again.The setting sun was still slanting on the treetops, Cheng Xia asked Yang Dalang to stop at the west end of the village, she walked quickly towards Yang's house, she really missed Xiaolong very much after not seeing Xiaolong for so long.

When they arrived at Yang's house, everything was quiet. Cheng Xia had a vague premonition in her heart. She went straight to the door of Yang's house. Seeing Mrs. Chen sitting on the bed wiping tears, she felt even more panicked, "Xiaolong What?" She asked straight to the point.

Didn't it mean that Xiaolong's grandfather and grandmother all lived in the Yang family, why didn't anyone see him?
Seeing Cheng Xia's sudden appearance, Mrs. Chen was furious and wanted to beat her up, "What have you been doing, why can't you find me?"

Cheng Xia grabbed her waving hands, frowned and asked her, "I asked you where Xiaolong is?"

"Xiaolong, woo woo"
