Chapter 82 Golden Treasure
Uneasy, Qin Yunuan still decided to go with Sun Miaoyang. The wind blew on people's faces like a knife. Under the leadership of mandarin ducks, Sun Miaoyang had entered the room to treat the old lady for almost an hour and had not come out. Qin Yunuan leaned against the Zen chair and half sleeped, and suddenly heard a little frosty female voice: "Three Young lady, the old lady called you in.
Qin Yunuan opened her eyes and happened to see Sun Miaoyang shaking his head while asking the maid to grab the medicine.
"Senior Sun," Qin Yunuan stepped forward and asked, "What is the situation of the old lady?"
Sun Miaoyang shook his head: "Since the old lady called you in, you will know when you see her."
Qin Yunuan was silent and had the worst guess in his heart. Sun Miaoyang suddenly said, "Do you know what the oak tree is empty by termites?"
"Hmm?"
Sun Miaoyang sighed: "Now the old lady's physical condition is like the hollow oak. As usual, the foundation inside is empty."
The mandarin duck probably also knows the situation, but just bowed his head and invited: "Grandma, the old lady is still waiting for you."
The white shark curtain on the landing was pulled up with a golden hook. It was vaguely the weak and sick body lying on her side. There was no close maid serving in the room. Even a considerate person like mandarin duck had retreated. Just now, the old lady was still energetic in the hall to count the second wife for causing trouble, which was the moment of a blink of an eye. It's really sad that it's so sick.
"Old lady."
"Yu Nuan? You're here, come here." The old lady's dry and old hands lifted the mantle and shook Qin Yunuan.
Suddenly, Qin Yunuan couldn't bear to approach.
The old lady did not force it. After a few steps, she said to Qin Yunuan, "As you can see, my body bones have not been working for a long time. In the early years, I followed the old prince on the battlefield and lost two children halfway. The doctor said that it was difficult for me to get pregnant. Later, I finally became pregnant with loyalty and loyalty, so I cherish this very much. The two children cherish the bloodline of Ning Wangfu and want to choose the best woman in the family for marriage for the descendants of Ning Wangfu. When you first entered the house, I didn't like you. Don't be surprised.
"Where is the old lady," Qin Yunuan still remembers that the old lady boldly took herself into the palace to find the empress dowager for help. "The old lady will naturally worry more about the overall situation."
"After saying that, I will also say something rude." The old lady moved her body with difficulty and said, "You come from a low background and have offended many people. The Qin family has now been assigned to the emperor's key subject of strict investigation because of the matter of the third prince, and those people in the palace are also plotting to get rid of you. I just want to ask you, do you have the ability to protect yourself?"
Qin Yunuan thought about it carefully, and then nodded and said, "Yes."
The old lady sighed and suddenly said, "Then do you have the ability to protect the palace of Ning?"
Qin Yunuan was slightly stunned. She probably understood what the old lady meant. Could it be...
"Yes or no? I just want one word."
Qin Yunuan said solemnly, "Ning Wangfu is the root of Qin Yunuan. The root is in people, and people die."
"Very good." The old lady nodded, suddenly called the mandarin duck in, and ordered the mandarin duck to open a dark compartment at the head of the bed. The mandarin duck seemed to be a little hesitant, and even looked at Qin Yunuan with a vigilant look.
"Beast, don't you even listen to me?" It was not until the old lady gasp like this that the mandarin duck was tearing. As she turned on the switch of the dark grid, she cried in a low voice, "Old lady, you said that this dark grid can only be opened after you swallow your breath."
The old lady closed her eyes and said nothing. It was not until the mandarin duck handed over a palm-sized incense wood box in the darkge li to Qin Yunuan's hand and retreated. The old man slowly said in a vicissitudes voice: "Now the four major families of Daqi are recognized as the Shangguan family in the south of the Yangtze River, the Dou family in Yangzhou, the Shen family and the Cui family in Baling. Do you know, in fact, in fact Fifty years ago, the four families were completely different.
"I've heard it," Qin Yunuan thought seriously. "Yu Nuan only knows that fifty years ago, the power of the Sun family was more powerful than today."
"Fifty years ago, the four major families were the Jinling Sun family, the Luguan Meng family and the Southwest Leng family, and another one was the Ge family of our Jingguo Gongfu."
"What is the cold family?"
"Yes, the Ningwang Mansion you see now is just a branch of the Leng family. You must want to ask why the four families 50 years ago were silent now. Thinking about those years, the four families were not only powerful, but also connected with each other, marrying and cooperating with each other to help each other. You know, as a monarch, what they are most afraid of is It was the people's power that wanted to be stronger than the imperial power, so the former emperor thought of a good method, and as a result, he let the four families fight to seize it without a single soldier, and his vitality was greatly damaged.
"What method?"
The old lady took a deep breath, and everything she saw in the family when she was still young seemed to emerge: "That is, the late emperor has just captured the capital of South Vietnam, and the more gold he has produced in the south. After the South Vietnamese monarch defected, he even offered tens of millions of taels of gold. The problem has come. How to store tens of millions of taels of gold most security? All? The late emperor was really wise. He ordered people to dig a big hole in a mountain near Beidi, and even the craftsmen who dug the hole did not know the specific location. They were all blindfolded and brought in. After that, they were all killed in a big pit in front of the mouth of the cave. The only supervisor who knew the route was also drawing the only road map. Later, he was poisoned to death, and the late emperor divided this road map into four and gave it to the patriarchs of the four families.
"So only when the four pictures are combined can we find the gold hidden in the deep mountains?" Qin Yunuan probably guessed, "But the four families originally had some interest entanglement. This time, everyone wants to swallow this gold alone. Even if they don't want to, the people in the world will hunt down the people of the four families after knowing the news, just to make up four maps?"
"You're very smart," the old lady paused, as if she was nodding. "That's probably the case. The four families are divided. The most famous one of the Southwest Leng family today is the Ningwang Mansion, but it is not as good as before. As for the Meng family, it's just a Mongolian and a noble concubine. Take a look. What kind of climate can it become? The Ge family surrendered to the emperor and was awarded the title of an empty Duke of Jing. Only the Sun family and the Sun family were the most terrible.
Qin Yunuan suddenly thought of the strange little boy of the Sun family that Baochuan told her. She remembered that the little boy's name was Sun Chengzhen. Baochuan was not a reckless person, but according to Qin Baochuan's dictation, as soon as he saw Sun Chengzhen, he seemed to have been photographed by his soul. There was only one voice in his mind. He walked forward and walked forward. Go, just fall into the pond.
"Sun family, does it rely on the magic of witchcraft?" Thinking that Mrs. Sun analyzed the illusion so thoroughly at the banquet, Qin Yunuan couldn't help but doubt it.
"No," the old lady shook her head and said, "I shouldn't have told you these things, but I haven't measured them for a long time. If you know earlier, you can take precautions early. The Sun family is not a kind of ability, but a curse. The Sun family, like the other three major families, has also experienced a discrete collapse, but just 30 years ago, a grandson A man in the family suddenly reorganized the Sun family. The name of the man is Sun Chengzhen.
"Impossible." Qin Yunuan lost her voice and said, "That little boy is about the same age as Baochuan, but he is only five or six years old. How could he be 30 years ago..."
"Of course not," the old lady said slowly, "Have you forgotten that the men of the Sun family can't live more than 30? After Sun Chengzhen brought the Sun family back into the heyday, he happened to be suddenly killed on his 30th birthday. Since then, the Sun family will choose the most qualified boy and name him Sun Chengzhen, hoping that this boy can bring miracles to the Sun family. You will definitely laugh at their superstition. Oh, the Sun family is strange. There are still many things to do. Although none of these Sun Cheng can live more than 18 years old, their mothers have become the leaders who have led the Sun family to become more and more prosperous. However, no matter what, one of the bad luck of the Sun family is that the men of the Sun family have become shorter and shorter, and some of them have not even lived five years old.
"There are gains and losses." Qin Yunuan sighed helplessly, although she knew in her heart that it must not be so simple.
"Yes, the Sun family has got too much. In addition to the map in the hands of the Sun family, they have collected the Meng family map and our Ge family map. There is only one Lengjia map, and you can find the coveted treasure. At that time, the Sun family will be extremely rich and recruit troops to buy horses. Are you still afraid of how short-lived men?"
"Sun family, it's really terrible." Qin Yunuan couldn't help but feel a little cold. A family has paid so much for a complete treasure map. Now that the Sun family has spared no effort to marry one daughter after another into the Leng family, probably the only remaining Leng family map.
"Terrible?" The old lady showed a disdainful sneer, "After all, they were not played by my sister in the palm of my hand."
Old lady's sister, isn't that the Empress Dowager?
"Do you know why my relationship with my sister was so cold from the beginning?" The old lady turned her head, and her shrugged eyelids were full of fatigue and morbidity. "Because the idea of using the map to divide the power of the four families is my sister, the idea of the current empress dowager for the late emperor. At that time, her heart was full of the man with the world, in order to help that man consolidate the monarch's power. I don't want to turn the gun to deal with my family, and I don't understand. Love really makes women dizzy.
What about now? This should be more than what the Empress Dowager has done. Otherwise, the Sun family would have got four maps long ago.
"Yes," the old lady smiled strangely. "The man of the Sun family died early, which was also designed by his sister. Thirty years ago, when Sun Chengzhen got married, his sister had already secretly tampered with the women they were about to marry into the Sun family. However, all the children they gave birth to, the girls were fine. If they were men The child must have died early. After all, her sister was a master. Slowly, she made the Sun family thin.
