Chapter 125 Treasure Map Source
Hearing what Madam Zheng said, the guard tightened his grip on the sword and his eyes became fierce.
The guard's voice was filled with doubt, "Are you serious, Madam?"
Zheng Yuling, who heard her grandmother say this, was also shocked. She widened her eyes and turned to look at her grandmother in disbelief.
How did my grandmother get a treasure map from the Song Dynasty? Aren't my grandmother's family just merchants? How did they become connected to the Song Dynasty?
Madam Zheng, who was leaning on her cane, nodded. "Of course it's not fake. I hope you can pass it on to me."
Seeing that Madam Zheng's expression didn't look fake, the guard nodded, "Then follow me in, Madam."
After saying this, he turned around and led the way.
Madam Zheng nodded and looked at her granddaughter who was still a little confused. "Yu Ling, let's go in."
Hearing her grandmother's voice, Zheng Yuling finally came to her senses, "Yes, Grandma."
Holding their grandmother's hand, the two of them followed the guards inside.
After arriving at the front hall, he said, "Wait here for a moment. I will inform you after I have reported to the Lord."
"Yes, thank you, sir."
The guards left in a hurry, leaving Madam Zheng and Zheng Yuling waiting in the hall.
After the guards left, Zheng Yuling could no longer suppress her doubts. "Grandma, what on earth is going on? How did this treasure map end up in our hands?"
"And isn't the Song Dynasty the dynasty before the Tianqi Kingdom? It's almost two hundred years ago."
The Song Dynasty, also known as Song, existed for nearly three hundred years. However, because the last emperor was a conservative ruler with many corrupt officials, the dynasty was on the verge of collapse and could not be saved.
Finally, the most powerful vassal king at that time, who was also the ancestor of Ji family, overthrew the Song Dynasty and established the Tianqi Kingdom.
Madam Zheng patted her hand and said, "This is a long story."
Speaking of the treasure map, Mrs. Zheng's face was filled with reminiscence and emotion. "This treasure map was given to my grandmother by her great-grandfather."
It was as if she was brought back to that hot afternoon in an instant. She was only thirteen years old at that time, and her great-grandfather was still alive.
"Our Yan'er has grown up and looks more and more like your great-grandmother."
"Great-great-grandmother? Great-grandfather's mother?"
"Yes, Yan'er has never seen her. She looks very similar to Yan'er, not only in appearance but also in personality."
Hearing her great-grandfather mention her great-great-grandmother whom she had never met, Su Yan suddenly became interested. "Great-grandfather, can you tell me about her great-great-grandmother?"
"Your great-great-grandmother, your great-great-grandmother is Princess Jiahe of the Song Dynasty, the most beloved youngest daughter of Emperor Hui of Song."
princess.
At that time, Su Yan had never even been to the capital, and the highest-ranking official she had ever met was the county magistrate.
Hearing this, I took a deep breath.
"Great-grandfather, are you kidding me? Aren't we just cloth merchants?"
My great-grandfather was still alive at that time, and the family business was doing well, but it has been going downhill since his death.
"Haha, how could my great-grandfather lie to Yan'er? At that time, Emperor Hui of Song also saw that the country was about to perish, so he married his daughter to a wealthy businessman, your great-grandfather."
"After marrying off his daughter, Emperor Hui of Song asked your great-grandfather to bring your great-grandmother away from the capital and move here."
"What then?"
"Later, the Song Dynasty collapsed and the Xin Dynasty was established. To avoid disaster, our family kept this past a secret and lived an ordinary life."
At that time, Su Yan propped up her head and listened intently, "Does great-grandmother hate the Ji family?"
"Great-grandfather didn't know either. Maybe he hated it, maybe he didn't. After all, the fall of the Song Dynasty was a matter of time. If it wasn't the Ji family, it could have been another family. Moreover, after the Ji family captured the capital, they didn't kill the royal family. They just demoted them to commoners and exiled them to other places."
"However, my great-grandmother's father did choose to commit suicide in the main hall because of the Ji family, so my great-grandfather didn't know either."
"Okay, Yan'er, go play."
In the blink of an eye, Su Yan was fourteen years old, and her great-grandfather was lying on the sickbed with only a few days left.
"Yan'er, great-grandfather can't see you get married. This is the dowry he gave you."
As he spoke, the old man took out a wooden box from under his pillow. "This is a treasure map from the previous dynasty. It was also one of your great-grandmother's dowry. Maybe you can use it in the future."
"Great-grandfather knows that Yan'er's father doesn't like you very much. He's afraid that he will not care about you after marrying you off in the future, and the family property will be given to your brother. So today, Great-grandfather will give it to you. From now on, the family property will belong to your brother, and this will belong to you."
Su Yan was practically raised by her great-grandfather and had the best relationship with him.
As for her father, he loved her brother the most and all he did for her was to ensure she had enough food and drink, but Su Yan had never felt any fatherly love from him.
Her mother died when she was a few years old, and her father remarried immediately.
Looking at her great-grandfather who didn't even have the strength to speak, Su Yan burst into tears.
"Great-grandfather will be fine. He will be fine."
The old man raised his dry hands and wiped her tears. "Yan'er, I hope you can marry a good husband, so that someone will love my Yan'er again."
Finally, her great-grandfather passed away and she married into the Zheng family. After a few years of loving relationship with her husband, he fell ill and left her.
After that, she became the old lady of the Zheng family.
Madam Zheng wiped her tears and said, "That's how I got the treasure map."
After hearing this story, Zheng Yuling felt a little complicated. She heard from her father that her grandmother had always had a lukewarm relationship with the Su family and rarely went back.
Later, after my grandmother's father died, he never went back.
She walked forward and gently hugged the increasingly elderly person, "Grandma, Yu Ling likes you. From now on, Yu Ling will always be good to you."
"Well, our Yu Ling is a good child."
Just then, the guard came back.
"Madam, Miss, the lord invites you in."
"Hey, good."
The grandfather and grandson walked into the inner room, not daring to look around, and prepared to salute towards the front.
"no."
Hearing the voice, the two stopped their greeting and looked up.
I saw a woman with a dignified face, wearing a scarlet dress embroidered with several camellias, sitting behind the table.
"Madam, did you bring the treasure map you mentioned?"
Madam Zheng nodded and took out the treasure map from her bosom, "My lord, this is it."
Seeing what the old lady was holding in her hand, Yuzhu, who was following behind Yunzhi, walked down, took it from her hand, and put it next to Yunzhi's hand.
Yun Zhi unfolded the treasure map and looked at it carefully for a moment.
"I wonder where did the old lady get this map?"
Old Madam Zheng took a deep breath and told Yunzhi the past events that she had previously told Zheng Yuling.
After hearing this, Yun Zhi tapped the table lightly with her fingers. The old lady in front of her actually sent this thing to her. She must have something to ask for.
She raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at the people below, "If we really find the treasure here, I wonder what reward the old lady would want?"
Madam Zheng bowed hurriedly and said, "If you successfully find the treasure, I hope you can agree to a request of mine."
"Oh? Tell me about it. As long as it's not excessive, I'll allow you."
Madam Zheng looked at Yun Zhi, knelt down, and said the purpose of her visit, "I hope the Lord..."
