Chapter 479(1/2)
It is very difficult to preserve the papers in the ancient tombs. Like the Zhajing and Journey to the West we found under Zhao Banxian's body, it was purely an accident. They were sealed by the grease from the body and were thus kept intact.
The family tree of the Yao sisters did not have such good luck. It was forcibly dug out by Lao Bai from the groove of the dungeon. Yao Yuzhu should have carried it with him, and was filled with mercury and sealed directly in the dungeon. He gradually removed it during the painful struggle.
Pressed underneath the body.
These papers have almost turned into pieces of dry and hard floc that exudes a foul smell. Most of them are black and yellow and have no writing.
It is easy to see from the large amount of floc that this family tree is very empty.
After searching all over, I found only a few dry pieces of paper with writing on them.
A name was mentioned above - Yao Sanniang.
A very rustic girl's name.
It is a common practice that women are not included in the family tree, but in such a large family tree, there is only a woman named Yao Sanniang recorded in the blank space, which is a bit strange.
"It seems to be a female household!"
I thought about it for a while and made some guesses.
In ancient times, men were superior to women, and women had no autonomy at all. The Xianglin Sister-in-law written by Mr. Lu Xun is a very typical example. After the man died, he was tied up and forced to remarry.
However, what happened to Xianglin's Wife was that ethics began to eat people. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, there were also some fierce women whose husbands died and had no children. They refused to obey the arrangements of their natal family and remarried and established their own families.
This is the female household.
Due to the general environment, the female households in the Ming Dynasty lacked some of the grandeur and staunchness of women in the Tang and Song Dynasties. In a sense, they were similar to the abnormal households. The so-called abnormal households were exempt households and would not be required to do labor or anything.
of.
The following few words and phrases proved my conjecture that this Yao Sanniang was indeed like this. Through the above few words and a little association, everything became clear.
This man Yao Sanniang died and became a female householder. However, in the late Ming Dynasty, people were in dire straits, and people in troubled times were not as good as Taiping dogs, let alone a woman.
Living in the capital was not easy. Without his livelihood, his initial strength disappeared without a trace, and he could only start a business with a half-open door.
Among Yao Sanniang's benefactors, there was a man named Jin Er who made very extravagant offers and liked Yao Sanniang quite a lot. In the end, he simply hired Yao Sanniang and would go to live in a small courtyard in the capital every once in a while.
Later, Yao Sanniang gave birth to a pair of daughters to Jin Er. However, for some unknown reason, Jin Er refused to let the two daughters take his own surname. In the end, he could only take the surname of Yao Sanniang. These two sisters became the Yao sisters.
When the Yao sisters grew up, the world became more chaotic in the late Ming Dynasty, but Jin Er became more and more luxurious and generous. In addition, Yao Sanniang was a fierce temperament and very capable, so she began to help Jin Er manage several grain stores.
, the days are filled with gold, and it can be said that the throat is filled with gold pearls and jade grains.
At this time, Jin Er's identity gradually emerged. His real name is Jin Liangyu, from Shanxi!
"Jin Liangyu! He was so extravagant in the late Ming Dynasty, he was engaged in grain business during the Little Ice Age, and he was still from Shanxi. Who else in the world can have Jin Liangyu!?"
I thought to myself: "Isn't he the one from the Eight Great Imperial Merchants?"
I thought that the Yao sisters were poor people, but who knew that their father turned out to be Jin Liangyu?
This is a famous master, but he doesn’t have a good reputation. He is a traitor!!
From the first day it appeared, capital was destined to drink blood. As one of the Shanxi merchants, Jin Liangyu became rich by drinking the blood of the people of the Ming Dynasty, and then turned around and began to think about smuggling outside the customs and transmitting intelligence. Originally, Jin Liangyu
The people who had been blocked by the Ming Dynasty were on the verge of dying. They relied on blood transfusions from these people to catch their breath. Later, China's Lu Chen and the Manchus entered the customs, leaving their hair intact, and opened the darkest and bloody page in history.
.
These people are indispensable!
During the Shunzhi period, the Qing government claimed that wealth had increased and the country was in need of supplies, so it summoned the Shanxi merchants who had given them blood transfusions into the palace and called them the Eight Imperial Merchants.
Yao Sanniang was originally carrying gold and silver jewelry to collect information on the goods for Qin Liangyu's smuggling. She was discovered by the famous general Lu Xiangsheng for spying on military intelligence and was sentenced to death with a dish.
This is all the records in the family tree.
I can probably guess the rest.
The Yao sisters were not very old at the time, so they probably didn't know that their parents were traitors. After Yao Sanniang was executed, the whole family must have been searched. It is estimated that the waiters below were alert, packed up their belongings, and escaped in a hurry with them.
, entering Shanxi, probably going to Jin Liangyu’s house to ask for help, and then wandering outside the customs.
As a result, just as Pu Tianhu was defeated by Liu Guangzuo, he was bumped into by Zhao Banxian, who was looking for concubines for Pu Tianhu. The two sisters were captured and killed together.
Yao Didizhu's low whimpering sound reached my ears. Three hundred years passed by. One of the two sisters became a ghost in the world, and the other turned into a stinking corpse. So, the ghost hugged the corpse and whined. In a trance, I seemed to
I saw Yao Didizhu hugging his little sister like this in the war-torn world hundreds of years ago, comforting her while fearful...
Perhaps, when Zhao Banxian poisoned her and poured mercury into her body, she was also thinking - where is my sister? Don't let her suffer such pain...
"People say that the way of heaven is reincarnation, who will be spared by heaven? Is it possible that there is really a pair of eyes in this world watching the joys, anger, sorrows and joys of this world? However, traitors are hateful, and it is not pity to cut them into pieces. How can a child deserve it?
?”
I shook my head. I originally thought that I could find out the origins of the Yao sisters from this family tree, and at least I could find their hometown. If I agreed to help them return to their roots, I might be able to sell them well and give them to our brothers in exchange.
A way out.
As a result, this family is nothing but duckweeds, with no hometown at all!
Born in an outside house, her mother worked in a half-closed business, and this reputation... The sisters received so many looks at them when they were young. I'm afraid they have no feeling for their homeland at all. Mentioning these two words "indefinite" is only adding fuel to the fire.
.
Coupled with the twists and turns contained in a family tree, I felt a little uninterested for a while. I sighed softly and stuffed the piece of paper back into Lao Bai's hand.
Unexpectedly, no matter how many of us winked at Yao Didhu before, we refused to take another look at her. Now she sighed and startled her. She raised her eyes and looked at me. All the previous emotions disappeared without a trace, and the expression in her eyes
Just cold and empty.
Suddenly, she raised her arm.
I was staring at her all over, and when I saw her raising her hand, I thought she was going to attack me, so I instinctively raised the knife to protect my door.
Hurrah!
The dark wind arises out of thin air.
Like a gust of wind, passing by in a flash.
"Character!"
Lao Bai exclaimed, pointing to the groove of the dungeon: "It's a memorial!"
Sure enough, the dust in the groove changed and pieced together a crooked but extremely complex word.
Brother Yaozi tilted his head and glanced, with a hint of joy on his face: "You have no intention of harming others, let's go."
This doesn't look like a resentful corpse, but more like a knight!
Those empty eyes were still staring at me, and I suddenly felt guilty.
It's like...she can peek into my heart!
Yes, although she is a resentful corpse, she has become enlightened!
Corpses, monsters, and mountain spirits, once they become enlightened, have some indescribable weird abilities. People in the industry call them spirituality. To put it bluntly, they are able to feel good and evil, these very ethereal and abstract things...
My back felt chilly, and the cold sweat dripped down like tap water after unscrewing the stopper.
"Damn, she is really ready to kill us!"
After thinking about this, I suddenly felt a little scared: "Yes, she was just remembering her previous life and didn't even look at us. This means she didn't take us seriously at all and only waited until later."
Just kill her, after all at that time... Although I had some sympathy for the plight of the living concubine, I was more afraid of her, and I did a lot of things just to survive.
Until...
I saw the family tree and vaguely guessed what happened to their sisters, so there were a few more things... that were difficult to express.
All these inner changes were observed by her, and it was these inner changes that made her change her mind!"
The eyes that were staring at me were cold, and I became more convinced that I had guessed. I shrank my head and didn't dare to make any more guesses.
"Moving again..."
Lao Bai stared at the groove of the dungeon: "The death sentence has changed!!"
The quicksand in the groove seems to be alive, swimming in it and gradually condensing into memorials one after another, which looks very magical.
There is a long list of condolence articles, and this time, Yao Didizhu’s meaning is more complicated.
I looked a little struggling, and while thinking about it, I read out: "The road is where I am, that person is gone, and that person is still there..."
Girl, in the main tomb, in the coffin.
It's been a long time, I don't know if I'm still alive.
From there, you can go out!"
This is probably what this condolence passage means.
Girl, I should be talking about Bai Lin. Bai Lin was sealed in the coffin?
As for that person...
It should be the Flying Tiger!!!
He's gone, is he still there?
These are two completely contradictory meanings!
To be continued...
