Chapter 246 Relic
Xie Zhiwei opened the package with trembling hands, and saw a hand-written online chess record, on which was written "Cui's Twenty-Four" in a beautiful lower script with hairpin flowers. The familiar handwriting came into view, and Xie Zhiwei burst into tears instantly.
She has never met her mother, but her talent, name, virtue, and everything left behind have always protected her.
Xie Zhiwei made a big gift to Xu Peiyun, and said with a tearful smile, "I lost my composure for a while, and made Xu everyone laugh. Duan Xian is very grateful for the relics of my deceased mother, thank you!"
It was only then that everyone knew that what everyone from Xu gave to Xie Zhiwei turned out to be the chess record left by Mrs. Cui. It is no wonder that the Duanxian County Lord cried when he saw it. Thinking of Xie Zhiwei's life experience, everyone also sighed. pity.
A blind chess game lasted about two hours and reached Xu Peiyun's limit. Although Xie Zhiwei spent a lot, he was still able to support it.
It was the end of Shen Shi, but many people did not leave, and they were all recording the endgame.
When Yuan Jia and Ling Hua entered the palace, the palace gate was almost under the key, and the two entered the palace before the palace gate closed.
Yuan Jia returned to the palace, went to greet the Empress, and shouted loudly, "I'm starving to death, I'm starving to death, Queen Mother, I'm so busy today that I didn't even have a meal."
The empress felt distressed, and while telling the palace servants to go to the imperial dining room to bring a bowl of chicken noodle soup to fill Yuan Jia's stomach, she asked, "Didn't you go out to play? Why didn't you even have a meal?"
Yuan Jia took a sip of water and sighed, "Today is really like a dream."
She told what Xue Wanqing did, dissatisfied and authentic, "I don't understand, what's so good about that young lady Xue, Brother Four is actually obsessed with ghosts, defending that woman everywhere, I really don't know what it is."
The queen listened in her heart, and asked again, "What happened later? Your father returned to the palace a long time ago, why did you come back so late?"
"Mother, my son never knew that there are such powerful people in this world. It is really a pity that the mother is not here today. Master Xu and sister Wei played blind chess for two hours. In the end, Master Xu Abandoned son admits defeat, mother queen, how did little sister Wei get such a head?"
"I remember more than ten years ago, Xu Peiyun and Cui Ruohua played blind chess for an hour and a half, and the two were tied. Later, many people replayed the broken game, and it was the abbot of Huiming Temple who solved the broken game a few months later. , your father made a special trip to ask for advice. Unexpectedly, after many years, it was Cui Ruohua's daughter who helped her win against Xu Peiyun."
The empress sighed unceasingly, Yuan Jia was stunned for a long time as if she had heard a story, before she said, "Empress mother, so Sister Wei is really too powerful?"
"Since ancient times, the heavens have been jealous of beauty. Back then, Cui Ruohua was astonishingly talented in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. He was also born like a peony, but in the end he ended up with a faded beauty. Your little sister, in my opinion, is even more brilliant than her mother." , I don’t know what will happen in the future?”
Yuan Jia's heart was broken when he heard that, and he went to get into the empress' arms, "Sister Wei has the protection of her mother, she will be better than her mother, mother, don't you think so?"
Seeing that her daughter cared so much about Xie Zhiwei, and that she was a very clever child, the Queen couldn't help but nodded, "Don't worry, that child is very smart, and she's fine today? She has the open-mindedness of the Cui family. Back then, the dowry was Originally, Mrs. Cui entrusted it to Feng's hands, in order to use the huge dowry proceeds to protect the little girl's life. The Cui family is a big spender, and in their eyes, money is naturally not as important as the life of their granddaughter. "
"Mother, do you still need to think about it?"
"That's not necessarily the case. Cui Ruohua's dowry is not three or two taels of silver. There is an income of three hundred thousand taels of silver a year. How many people can not be tempted by such a large amount of money? What's more, why give it to the Feng family?" What about the old woman? It can be seen that the Cui family can understand it clearly. Now Wei girl knows that even if she gets back the proceeds, she may not get a good reputation, so she simply doesn't want it, and she can use this money to get revenge, which shows her skill! "
The empress took a deep breath and stroked her daughter's head, "If you had a wrist like hers, the empress wouldn't have to worry about you."
"Mother's queen!" Yuan Jia wriggled in his mother's arms, "Doesn't my son have a father and mother? Sister Wei is because she has no mother. Motherless children are so pitiful and have to think more than others. "
"That's the truth."
In the East Nuan Pavilion of Linde Hall, the emperor was setting up the remnant chess game that Xie Zhiwei and Xu Peiyun had just played in Youlanju. He played two roles, holding black stones in his left hand and white stones in his right. What's the matter? More than three million taels of silver, now it's gone if it's gone?"
"Your Majesty, if you want to get back the three million taels of silver, it's either impossible, or you have to go to war!" Lu Yan handed a cup of tea to the emperor, unhurriedly.
"Tell me!"
"It can only fall on the Feng family. Over the years, as far as I know, Mrs. Xie Feng is not a good headed mistress, nor a good grandmother, but she is really a sister. These things in Cui's dowry The proceeds were all subsidized into the Feng family. The Feng family was collecting money to return it to Duanxian County Lord. They had already collected more than half a million taels. If it was the Feng family's fortune, three million taels would not be worth it. , two million taels are still available.”
Lu Yan smiled and said, "Yesterday, Shen Tingyang said that the treasury has no silver, and the court advised the emperor to sacrifice to the sky. If the sacrifice to the sky does not cost the treasury's silver, what can Shen Tingyang say."
The emperor's eyes lit up, and he was in a very happy mood, "What's more, Shen Tingyang scolded you a lot yesterday when he was admonished by the court. He has always been a quick-tempered person. When he gets angry, he doesn't care about everything. He just wants to be happy with his mouth. Saying that you flattered me and offered to sacrifice to heaven, this matter has nothing to do with you in the slightest, you are by my side, but you have taken the blame for me a lot!"
Lu Yan smiled slightly, as the night wind blew, a strand of black hair swept across his perfectly lined side face, and a pair of enchanting eyes shone brightly, "Your Majesty, how many people in the world want to help the Emperor carry the blame, since the minister is by the Emperor's side Your close minister, these things are naturally caused by the minister's flattery and slander."
The emperor was amused by him, and he waved to him, "Ah Yan, come here, you hold the little girl's white piece, and accompany me to think about this broken game."
Xie Zhiwei's carriage drove in from the West Corner Gate and stopped in front of the Hanging Flower Gate in front of Chunhui Hall. She got off the carriage and walked straight to the backyard.
Since the old lady became blind, she only went to see the old lady once with everyone, and did not enter the old lady's room.
Go straight forward, pass through Chunhui Hall, enter the back garden, pass through an empty courtyard, and arrive at Qingzhuyuan where the old lady lives now.
