Chapter 73: A Jade Pen and a Letter
The second update is here!!! The third update will be at about 10:30, and I will try to finish it before 11:00! Thank you
He and Wu Jingde checked inside the wine cellar. Finally, Zhengyao ordered several good wines by name, then walked out of the wine cellar with a smile and returned to the winery hall.
Seeing the smile on Zhengyao's face, not only was he holding a jar of wine in his arms, but the several waiters behind him were also moving and lifting several boxes. This situation felt like a restaurant owner was purchasing goods.
Ning'an, Yuan Haiyun and others were dumbfounded for a moment.
Zhengyao naturally understood what these people were thinking, so he smiled and said: "Don't look at me like that, yes, that's right, all these wines were left behind by my father in Zheliao, and now I'm just here to move them back.
Shopkeeper Wu, as for the money, I will send someone to deliver it to you when the time comes!"
"Don't dare, don't dare, the prince-in-law wants to drink the wine here, how can he ask for money?"
Wu Jingde seemed a little surprised when he heard Zhengyao saying that he wanted to give money.
He doesn't have the guts to ask the consort for money yet.
"I want it! You are also doing business. Although the wine my father put here for you was half a year ago, I still didn't pay you after all. If you open the door to do business, if I don't pay you,
Hasn’t that prince-in-law become a bandit?”
After saying that, Zhengyao did not forget to give Wu Jingde a wink, indicating that he would cater to him.
"Yes! My princess and my consort never default on their debts. Shopkeeper, you don't have to refuse."
Ning An also acted like a princess this time, forcing shopkeeper Wu to collect money.
"Okay, let's say goodbye first! Let's go!"
Zheng Yao didn't want to delay here any longer. The first priority now was to go back and see what was in this wine jar.
Liu Yan, Yuan Haiyun and others followed Zhengyao around here. They didn't know why. But listening to Zhengyao's tone, it seemed that their purpose had been achieved. They had nothing to say, so they stood there one after another.
Get up and prepare to leave.
"Well, then I would like to send my congratulations to the Princess Consort and all of you adults!"
After saying that, Wu Jingde did not forget to respectfully send Zhengyao and others to the road. After Zhengyao and others left, he turned back to the winery.
Each person was carrying a wine bottle, big or small. It seemed quite novel and attracted the attention of many passers-by. However, Zhengyao and others did not pay attention to this, but returned to Li's Mansion with a leisurely expression.
In less than a quarter of an hour, everyone returned to Li's Mansion again.
Zhengyao gave the wine to Liu Yan, Yuan Haiyun, Zhou Bing and others one by one. Then because he was a little tired and wanted to go back to the room to rest, he took Ning An to the bedroom. As for Liu Yan, Yuan Haiyun, Zhou Bing and others, he took Ning An to the bedroom.
They were in the garden of the Li Mansion. They were doing whatever they were supposed to do. They didn't know what they were doing, so they followed the example of Zheng and Yao and went back to their rooms to rest.
Back in the room, Ning An was the first to grab the wine jar eagerly. After Ning An grabbed the wine jar, he suddenly found that the wine jar was empty, so he immediately said to Zheng Yao in confusion: "What?
This...how is this empty? Did you make a mistake?"
Naturally, Ning'an knew Zhengyao's purpose of going to Wu Lao Winery. It was okay if he didn't find Ner Hong. He came back with a bottle of grain wine, but it was an empty jar. How could this not make Ning'an feel strange?
"Don't get excited. I don't know much about this, but isn't it better this way? Maybe father put the things we want into this empty jar on purpose?"
Although Zhengyao couldn't be too sure, all the signs showed that Li Chengfeng was going around so responsibly. It seemed that the contents of this wine jar were very unusual. Maybe it was really the same thing that Zhengyao and Ning'an did yesterday.
It was discussed at night.
"Then...then quickly open it and take a look?"
Ning'an has always been like this, and his impatience has never changed.
"Um!"
Zhengyao nodded, hummed slightly, and immediately placed the wine jar on the small square table in the bedroom, and then gently opened the seal on the wine jar with his hands.
After a while, all the seals on the wine jar were torn off, exposing the mouth of the wine jar.
Zhengyao and Ning'an slowly moved their heads towards the wine jar, then moved their eyes to the mouth of the wine jar, and looked down.
"Huh? This..."
Ning An reacted the fastest and immediately put her hand in. After stroking around for a while, Ning An felt a cold feeling in her hand. After taking her hand out, she saw a brush in her hand!
Yes, that’s right, it’s a writing brush, but this writing brush is dark green in color, and when you look at its material, you know it should be high-quality Hetian jade!
A brush made of Hetian jade? Isn't that...
"Jade pen!"
Zhengyao and Ning'an both screamed at the same time, as if they were very surprised!
The writing brush made of Hetian jade is naturally the so-called jade pen. So could this jade pen be the jade pen that the group of people were chasing Zhengyao to get?
"Is this a jade pen?" Ning An couldn't help but shook his head and said in a disdainful tone: "I don't see how good this jade pen is. What effect can this jade pen have? Why is it so good?
How many people want to fight for it?”
"If you are right, this jade pen is related to the so-called Jianwen Secret Treasure! It is precisely because of the Jianwen Secret Treasure that so many people are eyeing our Li family!"
Regardless, everything, including Li Chengfeng's death and Zhengyao's secret pursuit, is actually related to Jianwen's secret treasure. The reason is very simple. The Li family is the descendant of Li Jinglong, and Li Jinglong was a general during the Jianwen period.
, is the closest to Zhu Yunwen, and even this Jianwen secret treasure was arranged by Li Jinglong.
After all, it is a treasure, and many people will be jealous and covet it.
Therefore, it is normal to fight and kill each other to the death.
"But where is this Jianwen secret treasure? How can we open this treasure? What is the use of this jade pen? It seems that we don't know these, and having a jade pen now will not help!"
Ning An is not in a hurry, what she said is indeed the truth. Although now she knows that many people are thinking about this jade pen, and the purpose is to build a secret treasure. But now she doesn't even know where the secret treasure is and what the jade pen has.
I don’t even know the effect. This is like a person who doesn’t understand martial arts at all. Suddenly he gets a unique martial arts secret book and asks him to practice according to it. Can he understand it and practice it?
"That's right. For now, the information we have is indeed much less. However, I heard Prince Jing tell me about the Jianwen Secret Treasure before. I believe that Prince Jing also knows a little bit about the picture at that time.
If the scroll is correct, it should be the map of Jianwen's secret treasure. As long as I give this royal pen to Prince Jing, I believe all the answers will be clear soon."
Speaking of this, Zhengyao couldn't help but think of the scene in Fahua Temple that day. At that time, Prince Jing told him something about Jianwen Secret Treasure. This was also Zhengyao's first contact with this kind of thing.
However, from his words, it is not difficult to tell that King Jing was also very concerned about this Jianwen secret treasure, and I believe he had also studied it. Therefore, Zhengyao decided to give the jade pen to King Jing for a look.
"Well, Uncle Wang is the most knowledgeable person in our Ming Dynasty royal family. I believe he will be able to solve these problems. At that time, he may also be able to take advantage of the situation to kill the father-in-law and the gang behind you who want to harm you.
Find them out!"
Ning An nodded. There were not many people in this world who could convince Ning An. Apart from Zheng Yao and Liu Yan, there was probably only Prince Jing.
"Well, the prince has worked hard for the country and the people all his life. With him, the Ming Dynasty can have the stability it has today. I'm not talking about your father. Your father is really not as good as Prince Jing."
For Zhengyao, the one he was most grateful to was King Jing. From the beginning, Zhengyao relied on King Jing to get to where he is now step by step. Although he rejected King Jing's marriage proposal, King Jing did not feel dissatisfied at all.
, this kind of tolerance is indeed rare in the world.
"Okay! Stop talking about this and quickly take a look at what else is inside. Just now I felt there was something else."
"Then reach in and take a look!"
Zheng Yao nodded and signaled Ning An to continue. Zheng Yao naturally understood Ning An's competitiveness and he definitely didn't have the right to put his hand in immediately.
"Huh? It's a letter!"
Not long after he put his hand into the small wine jar, Ning An took his hand out again, and after taking a closer look, he suddenly discovered that Ning An was holding a letter in his hand!
There is a letter in the wine jar. Who is it for?
However, the letter in Ning An's hand was a little different from ordinary letters. The envelope was a bit large, one foot long and wide, which was a bit larger than ordinary envelopes.
"Letter? Why did my father put the letter here? Is the content of this letter what my father wanted to say to me? An explanation to me?"
Looking at the large envelope in Ning An's hand, Zhengyao did not take it immediately to look at it. Instead, he was a little stunned, and then said to himself with a surprised look on his face.
"Maybe! But you don't have to make random guesses here. If you want to know what's written on it, just open it and take a look."
Ning'an also wanted to see what was in it. The fact that Li Chengfeng could be so nervous and go to such great lengths to post such a letter without telling Zheng Yao directly showed that it was worthy of further study.
.
Perhaps in Li Chengfeng's view, if Zhengyao couldn't figure it out or couldn't think of what he said, then it would be impossible for Zhengyao to read such a letter, and Zhengyao would not know the content of the letter.
Maybe this was Li Chengfeng’s initial thought.
After all, it is better not to know some things. Once you know them, it will be difficult to make a choice and you will be troubled.
Zhengyao nodded, then took the large letter from Ning An's hand, and then slowly tore it open. (To be continued...)
