Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

I looked back and made sure no one was following me, so I just opened the curtain and walked in.

As soon as he entered the door, he came over to a gray-haired old man.

I stunned for a moment, and before responding, the old man leaned towards me and said, "Meet Miss Yan."

Is Tieyushan sending me?

I looked at the old man carefully. I saw that he had white hair, a thin body, and wrinkles and scars on his face. He could see that he was over sixty years old, but he was light and handy. He was a very capable old man.

I politely stunned him and asked, "Old man, how about the boss of Tieyushan Iron?"

"Waiting inside, please come with me, please."

After speaking, he walked to the side of the door and made a gesture of please, and I followed him and passed through a spacious hall to the main hall behind the bank. I saw Tie Yushan sitting right there. When he saw me, he quickly got up, walked to the middle of the hall, and gazed at me with a long and respectful body: "Meet the young lady."

"Uncle Tie."

I hurried forward to help him and said, "I'm a junior. Uncle Tie, don't discount my life."

Having said that, Tie Yushan still stubbornly slammed me to the ground before straightening up the waist and said, "I haven't seen the young lady for so many years, this gift is not good, and the old iron heart is troubled."

I smiled helplessly and didn't say much, so he was invited to sit down in the main seat.

As soon as he was seated, the old man had come up holding a tea tray and offered us a steaming silver hook. Tie Yushan waved at him and said, "Old Mo, you go out and watch."

"Yes."

The old man saluted us with a tea tray, turned and walked out.

In the entire hall, only me and Tieyushan are left.

The surroundings are extremely quiet, especially his shop is extremely deep, and even the crowded traffic on the street and the boisterous sound of people coming and going can't be transmitted. Only the sound of very light and light water flowing from the back of the hall is even better. It must be so quiet here.

I looked around and said, "Is Uncle Tie open today?"

Tie Yushan sat up straight, and said, "When I was at Yan's house, I received the news of Sister Hong, knowing that the young lady is coming today, the old iron came back and let them all disperse."

I sighed and said, "Uncle Tie, why are you doing this?"

"Miss lady's business is a big deal. They are here, and people who come to see it are always bad things."

But you are so noticeable.

I thought to myself, but didn't say it, but Tie Yushan seemed to guess what I thought, and said, "Miss, rest assured, originally this afternoon should be the time when the money was settled in the bank, in the old days, all were closed, outsiders I can't see anything. "

"So, it's troublesome Uncle Tie."

"Miss, don't say that!"

I smiled, took the tea cup and lowered my head to take a sip. It was full of good tea. I couldn't help sighing. When I looked up, I saw Tie Yushan holding a tea bowl in his hand, but didn't drink one bite. Look at me. After seeing me look at him, he smiled a little, but with a bit of vicissitudes in his smile: "I really didn't expect the old iron, and I can see the young lady again."

I also smiled, and there was a bit of sourness in my smile.

Tie Yushan also looked at me when he grew up, and heard that he had received the favor of my mother, so he has a very deep feeling for me. When I came back to see him this time, I also seemed to see an elder.

However, now is not the time for me and him to tell the story. I know how sensitive and savvy those people in the restaurant are. So he said, "Uncle Tie, I want to ask, did my mother leave something with you at the beginning?"

As soon as Tie Yushan heard it, he even said without thinking, "Yes!"

"Is that still there?"

"I'm here!"

I couldn't help it, and my breathing was tighter, but still suppressing myself, I asked as calmly as possible, "Did my mother leave any other words?"

This time, Tie Yushan thought for a while before saying, "The old lady told the old iron at that time, you must protect the things she left behind, even if the old iron's possessions were gone, but that kind of things must be kept well. One day the young lady returned and asked the old iron to be delivered intact to the young lady. "

"... So, did she say anything else?"

"No more."

"Are all gone?"

Tie Yushan glanced at me, but it seemed a little embarrassed, and laughed: "Miss lady should remember that his wife never said anything. With these few words, of course, the old iron listened."

Listening to what he said, my heart was sad.

Yeah, my mother has always been like that. She has too few words in her memory. Even now, all I can remember is something she deliberately taught me. Other times, she seems to prefer it. Spend her years with a smile and a look of indifference.

Nothing special.

Thinking of this, I also gave up, bowed my head and took another sip of hot tea, and then said to Tieyushan: "Uncle Tie, I don't have much time today. I just want to see what my mother left me."

As soon as Tie Yushan heard it, he stood up and said to me, "The stuff is inside, Miss please."

I also got up and followed him through the side door of the lobby, only to find that it was very deep. After passing through a gangway, passing through several doors, and crossing a corridor, I saw that the back of Qianzhuang was actually a piece of wood. Suddenly a small and cheerful yard, a pond was hollowed out in the middle, standing on a rocky rockery, and a few orange-red carps were swimming in the water, adding a little fun to this quiet little yard.

Opposite the pond is a house that looks very elegant. The eaves and window edges are very delicately carved. Tie Yushan walked over to open the door carefully, and immediately smelled the faint incense from the room.

He explained: "I usually live here. Make the young lady laugh."

I smiled and shook my head.

He invited me into the room to sit at the table, walked to the desk by himself, moved the table away, and knocked it against a brick on the wall behind the table. I knew immediately that he was turning on the machine, but Looking at the room, there was nothing moving, but I just heard a sudden sound of water flowing outside. I froze and stood up in a hurry, and Tieyushan had already gone out.

I also walked to the door and looked out. I saw a sudden black hole in the fish pond outside the door. The water flowed in and formed a small vortex. The fish around were frightened and frightened, but after all, All flowed into the black hole along the water.

After a while, the water in the pond almost dried up, only shallow water, less than a foot deep, was faintly visible. The bottom of the pond was covered with stones and some silt was underneath.

Tieyushan walked to the pool, leaned down, reached out into the water and fished for a long time, and picked up a piece of oil-paper wrapped, water-drenched thing.

I immediately understood it.

Taking the package back to the room, he closed the door, put the package on the table, and opened it layer by layer. Under the oil paper was asbestos, brocade, and below it was another layer of oil paper, asbestos, bro cloth.

It can be seen that he protected this thing so well that it could not be damaged by water and fire. At the end, a tin box was exposed. He took out a key and opened the tin box. Then he carefully removed it from the inside. A brocade box.

As he took it, he said in a deep voice: "This thing, the old iron has been stored for more than ten years, and today, it can finally be given to the young lady."

After that, he held the brocade box in both hands and carefully placed it in front of me.

For a while, my breathing was heavy.

This is a not-so-obvious brocade box, which is nothing special compared to any brocade box in the world. The only thing I can feel is its heavy weight. When Tieyushan put it on the table, it came very A dull noise. Of course, the inner layers of the Tiejia Qianzhuang's brocade boxes are iron plates, which are naturally heavy, and I can guess that Tie Yushan's preparation for his mother must be the strongest and most reliable.

I looked at it for a while and asked with a little trembling: "Uncle Tie, do you know what is in this box?"

He shook his head: "When Madam packed the box, Tie also quit."

"Oh."

"Miss, Tie someone stays outside the door first. If you have any instructions, please call me anytime."

After speaking, he got up and went out, and I realized that he probably thought that I had to avoid him just like my mother, but since the mother did n’t let people see it then, naturally when she took it out, Would love to be known more.

I didn't ask any more, until he went out and closed the door.

Now I'm alone in the room.

The surrounding seemed quieter than before. There was only a sound of imperceptible water flowing slowly in this quiet environment, and I sat at the table and looked at the brocade box.

This is left to me by my mother.

What she left me, maybe, was the only thing.

I do n’t know why, she has gone so long. I have hardly ever dreamed of her in these years, but at this moment, I have a strong feeling, as if those faint, always eyes with a light smile Watching me quietly.

It's mother's eyes, it's she looking at me.

Thinking of this, I felt some difficulty even breathing. I couldn't help but clenched my fist and took a deep breath. Then I reached out a trembling hand, reached in through the collar, and pulled out a red line.

Below the red line, the key that Uncle Ai had given me at the time fell.

I carefully inserted the key into the hole, and with a slight twist, I heard a click inside.

Then the key in my hand trembled slightly.

I was shocked and let go of my hand subconsciously.

The key was still inserted in the keyhole. Although my hand had been released, it was still shaking gently. Then, a continuous sound came from the heavy brocade box. After a breath, I felt that the box was quiet, and the disc on the keyhole snapped open, and it broke automatically.

My heart also jumped.

After half a while, reaching out, gently opened the lid of the brocade box.

What came into my eyes was a translucent piece of tulle dyed with many colors, lying quietly in the box.

Inside, there seemed to be something wrapped in layers.

I couldn't hold my breath involuntarily. I took it carefully and felt that the contents were about the size of my palm, a bit heavy, and I couldn't hold my hands. I peeled off the translucent piece of tulle layer by layer, and finally, a heavy thing fell on my palm.

It's a jade card.

The moment I saw the jade card, my heartbeat stopped.
