Chapter 1208 Hidden mystery (2)
Xie Fanghua nodded, and parted from Prince Ying and Princess Ying, one walked to the main courtyard, and the other returned to Luomei Residence.

Back at Luomeiju, Xie Fanghua immediately saw an older woman waiting at the gate of Luomeiju. Xie Fanghua didn't recognize this woman. What doesn't come out.

When the woman saw Xie Fanghua coming, she hurried forward to greet Xie Fanghua, bowed her knees, and said, "Hello, little princess, this old slave is a dowry servant next to Mrs. Zuo Xiang's mansion, and her name is Mrs. Zhang. Now I will accompany you back to the mansion, and I will stay with you in the future." I'm in the mansion, I came here specially to greet the little princess, thank you for saving the young lady's life."

Xie Fanghua nodded when she heard the words, and asked kindly, "Sister-in-law Zhang is free, and sister-in-law has returned home?"

Mrs. Zhang nodded, straightened up, and said with a smile, "Young master brought my young lady back to the mansion today. The young lady knows that you and the concubine have entered the palace, so I went to the main courtyard of the concubine first and waited to greet the concubine. Come over and talk to your sister-in-law, let me bring the things to you first."

As she said that, Zhang's sister-in-law handed over the things wrapped in cloth.

Xie Fanghua didn't pick it up immediately, and asked with a smile, "What is this? Is it from my sister-in-law?"

"It was ordered by my wife, and it's a thank you gift for the little princess. You saved my lady earlier, and the lady hasn't thanked you yet." Mrs. Zhang said with a smile, "Don't refuse, little princess, it's just a little kindness from the lady." After finishing the sentence, he added in a low voice, "Master Xiang has seen it before."

The last sentence is very meaningful.

Xie Fanghua understood, nodded, and glanced at Shihua, Shihua stepped forward to take it, thanked Mrs. Zhang, and invited Mrs. Zhang into the yard.

Mrs. Zhang shook her head, "This old slave has to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion to do business for Madam. There are still some household items that have not been packed, so I won't stay any longer."

Xie Fanghua heard the words and did not force her to stay, so she asked Si Mo to send Aunt Zhang, and she walked into Luomei Residence.

Back in the room, Shihua put the things on the table and said to Xie Fanghua, "Miss, do you want to open it now?"

"Open it and see what it is." Xie Fanghua nodded.

Shi Hua quickly opened the thing.

I saw a few bolts of cloth wrapped inside, which were the best snow silk brocade, smooth and shiny, and there were five bolts in total.

The waiter flipped through the paintings again and again, and said strangely, "It's nothing special. The young lady does not lack a few pieces of satin. Even if it is a brocade made of snow silk, it is not a rare thing. We have a lot of it in our house." Looking at the brocade, she praised, "It's just that the color is really pretty."

Xie Fanghua looked at it and said to her, "Take these satins into the back room."

Shi Hua looked up at Xie Fanghua, nodded, and went into the back room with the satin in his arms.

"Spread out these five pieces of satin, and let's see how beautiful the colors are." Xie Fanghua closed the door of the back room, waved down the curtains again.

Hearing Xie Fanghua's words, Shi Hua felt that these satins might be unusual, so he immediately arranged them one by one and spread them out.

After opening it, the waiter carefully looked around the satin.

After looking at it for a while, she looked at Xie Fanghua, and said in a low voice, "Miss, this servant is stupid, I think these are just some ordinary pieces of satin, I really can't see anything."

Xie Fanghua also lowered her head and looked around the satin. After looking at it for a while, she groped up and down along the cloth. After a while, she also frowned, "It's strange."

Si Hua looked at Xie Fanghua, "What the hell is Mrs. Zuo Xiang doing? Could it be just a few bolts of satin?"

Xie Fanghua shook her head, "It won't be as simple as a few bolts of satin."

After hearing the words, the waiter looked carefully, even rummaged through the cloth bag holding the satin, and finally got discouraged, "There is nothing. No matter how you look at it, it's just a few bolts of cloth."

Xie Fanghua sat down, stared at the pieces of satin and frowned in thought.

The waiter dared not disturb her.

After a while, Xie Fanghua suddenly said, "Go and open the curtain."

Shi Hua nodded, walked to the window, opened the curtains, and the sun shone in.

Xie Fanghua looked at the pieces of cloth, then stood up suddenly, "I understand."

The waiter turned his head and looked at several pieces of cloth, and saw that the several pieces of cloth lined up were originally of the same color, but under the sunlight, they revealed different colors. Although they were very light, they had martial arts and internal skills and had excellent eyesight. , can still be seen clearly.

She looked at it for a while, then whispered, "Miss, these five bolts of brocade should be cloth that has been woven long ago and has been preserved all the time, and they are from different years, otherwise it shouldn't be so different in color, one by one. New. The most recent piece of cloth should have been a year ago."

Xie Fanghua nodded, "It's like this, the oldest one of these five pieces of cloth should be no less than ten years old." After finishing speaking, she stroked lightly, "It's actually the same as the new one. If you don't look carefully, you can't really see it." come out."

"I don't know what Mrs. Zuo Xiang used to preserve it." The waiter said.

Xie Fanghua remained silent, and closed the corners of the five pieces of cloth. Gradually, she narrowed her eyes, and the light in her eyes that had only a small gap became darker. Her lips were tightly pursed. After a while, she returned to normal , Looking at these sermons, "The left minister is indeed the left minister. No wonder he has been able to stand in the court for many years. Without Fan Yanglu's support, he can still sit firmly in the position of the left minister, and he can also step on Fan Yanglu's position. underfoot."

Waiter Hua said cautiously, "Miss, is it because of the color of the pattern? From this servant's point of view, under the sunlight, these textures look like a map."

"Exactly!" Xie Fanghua nodded, "This is the map of Nanqin, except for the map of Xingyang, it has all of them."

The waiter was surprised, "These five pieces of cloth turned out to be a map of the Southern Qin Dynasty, really..." She touched the cloth and whispered, "It's really unimaginable."

"Here, here, and here, and these places..." Xie Fanghua stretched out his hand and pointed at the pattern lightly, and said with a sneer, "It is the stronghold of the Zheng family in Xingyang. Come on, since ten years ago, Prime Minister Zuo knew that the Zheng family in Xingyang had defected to the Northern Qi Dynasty, but for so many years they have been hiding it and pretending not to know it, it is really amazing."

Waiter Hua whispered puzzledly, "Hasn't Prime Minister Zuo always belonged to the Emperor? Could it be that he hasn't even told the Emperor all this time, hiding it?"

Xie Fanghua was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice, "For so many generations, for so many years, the imperial family has been staring at Xie family, wishing to eradicate Xie family. If Prime Minister Zuo got the news and reported it to the emperor, wouldn't he tell the emperor that he is the emperor's son?" What's more, his Zuoxiang's mansion can know things that even the hidden guards of the royal family can't find out. Once the emperor has suspicion and fear, once he no longer trusts him, can his Zuoxiang's mansion be the present Zuoxiang's mansion? Can I still have my current status?"

The waiter nodded.

Xie Fanghua continued, "The Zuo Prime Minister may not have liked the Xie family all along. Power benefits the interests, and most people in the world take care of themselves first. After all, the Zhongyonghou Mansion is too prosperous, and the Xie family is too prosperous. I don't care about the Lu family of Fan Yang, but he was born in the Lu family of Fan Yang. Weighing the pros and cons and considering many aspects, this matter should have been hidden when he knew the Zheng family of Xingyang. However, the current emperor, when he was the fourth prince, may not have a high vision Where to go, whether the left minister takes it out or not, at that time, it shouldn't make much sense."

The waiter nodded again.

"Now he gave this thing to me because I saved Lu Xueying. It's really smart. From then on, he just needs to keep his Zuoxiang's mansion standing upright." He said in a low voice, "Go and get some posts. It just so happens that my sister-in-law is back home today. It is said that she has not seen Yan Lan, Jin Yan and others these days except for the day when the late emperor passed away. Yes. I am going to write a post and invite them to come to the mansion tomorrow for a small gathering and hold a flower viewing party. It is said that every year my mother will hold a flower viewing party, and there are often female relatives in the mansion to come and go, but this year there is no such event."

Upon hearing the words, the waiter immediately reminded, "Miss, the first emperor's hundred days, will it be bad to do this?"

Xie Fanghua shook his head, "It's okay, to put it bluntly, it's just a small gathering, reciting poems, admiring flowers, tasting tea and chatting, it's not a big trouble."

The waiter responded and hurried away.

Not long after, Shihua brought a post.

Xie Fanghua drew a pen and invited Jin Yan from the Grand Princess' Mansion, Yan Lan from Yongkanghou Mansion, Zheng Yewei from the Hanlin University Scholars' Mansion, Wang Ziming from the Supervising Yushi's Mansion, Cheng Yuping from Cheng Shilang's Mansion, and Song Qinran from Song Shilang's Mansion, respectively. They are the younger sisters of Wang Wu, Zheng Yi, Cheng Ming, and Song Fang. Xie Fanghua is not very familiar with these people behind them. They came to the house and met once when they were listening to music, but these people were born in Beijing since they were young. , Yan Lan, and Lu Xueying are all familiar.

Several people raised their pens, she hesitated for a while, and wrote another post to Li Rubi, and finally, took out another post, and wrote it to Xie Yi, the sixth room of the Xie family. He said, "Let the people in the mansion send out these posts respectively. You can send this post for Xie Yi yourself to Mrs. Ming."

Shi Hua nodded solemnly, took the post and walked out.

After waiting for the painting to leave, Xie Fanghua took out scissors, a needle and thread, and cut out the brocade that Mrs. Zuoxiang sent. After cutting, she took out the needle and thread, sat down and began to sew.
