    Before going to bed, in order to satisfy his curiosity, Jiang Baole put the chair on the table, stepped on the chair and climbed up, and spent half an hour carefully inspecting the calligraphy that was directly opposite the door.Of course, the tools are limited, and the calligraphy has been mounted so that it cannot be hand-crafted. However, after half an hour, she was basically sure that this work should be neither a fake nor an authentic work, because the seal of the signer was not Wang Xizhi—it was just a copy by later generations..

    Painfully mourning the half hour that passed away, the little girl accidentally fell off the chair when she climbed down. Fortunately, it was not high, but her butt still hurt.

    Aww screamed, but didn't dare to make too much noise, Jiang Baole, who had eaten unspoken grievances, limped himself onto the bed.

    ...

    I feel so dreamless.

    In the middle of the night, Bao Le was woken up by the urge to urinate. An old house like this is inconvenient. Unlike her two-bedroom apartment, she can go to the toilet at night with her eyes closed. Fortunately, Shen Wangyan pointed her to the location of the toilet..

    Opening the door, Bao Le shuddered abruptly, and lost all sleepiness in an instant.

    When going back from the toilet, a more embarrassing thing happened-she got lost.You said that these rich people like to build their homes like a maze.Bao Le is a bit of a road idiot, she always relies on road signs to recognize the way, but this ability is not reliable at all in front of such a courtyard structure with different scenery and similarities.

    There was no way to get around, so the little girl finally gave up, hugged her arms, and stood by the lotus pond thinking about life.

    How should put it, even though got lost, but calm down and take a look at the beautiful scenery of the lotus pond, it can be regarded as a kind of joy in bitterness?She knocked on her sore leg, found a rock to sit on, and took out her cell phone.

    It was two o'clock in the middle of the night, no wonder there was no voice at all, the servants might have stopped at this point.

    The signal in the mountains was not good either. Bao Le held the phone up for a long time, tried every direction, and the best signal was only three bars.Sighing, the little girl could only put the phone away again.

    At that time, she really felt that she was hopeless. Either she would grope for a while later to see if she could touch it back, or she could find a place that wasn't so cold to live for half the night, and then find someone to take her back after dawn., but no matter what, she never thought that someone could help her now.

    until she heard a footstep.

    At this moment, there are still people awake... Don't tell me it's something unclean, Bao Le heard his heart beating fast, and subconsciously looked for props on the ground for self-defense.She really found it, a piece of gravel the size of a palm.

    The little girl hid by the stones in the lotus pond, and the moment she saw the figure, regardless of the consequences, she quickly threw the stone out of her hand, then buried her head back, closed her eyes and shivered.

    The stone fell to the ground and no one screamed. She thought to herself, it might really be the kind of dirty thing in the movie!In such an ancient house, in the middle of the night, she felt that this guess was very reasonable.

    However, she smelled a familiar smell.

    Bao Le raised his head, and the young man in the black hoodie stood in front of her again, carrying the familiar sandalwood scent.It was Shen Wangyan's face...but it might not be.

    "Shen Wangyan?" Bao Le called out to him cautiously.

    The black hoodie didn't retort, just looked at her, as if asking what she was doing hiding here at this point.

    "I..." Bao Le said aggrievedly, "I'm lost."

    "Follow me." The black hoodie said.

    In fact, he is quite similar to Shen Wangyan, such as the tone of a sentence of no more than three words, such as the indifferent eyes in certain situations.And he didn't refute, maybe he is Shen Wangyan.

    Bao Le imagined another drama of dual personality.

    The two walked back and forth again, but Bao Le felt that this time, the person in front would adjust his speed according to her footsteps, and if she didn't keep up with any steps, he would slow down and wait for her.

    And the sandalwood on his body is really comfortable.

    ...

    After walking for a while, before reaching her Ruan Xiangju, a gust of wind suddenly blew up in the courtyard.There are a bunch of copper bells hanging under the eaves of many houses in their house. don't know what the purpose is, but the gust of wind is too strange, and it even winds up most of the bells in the house.

    The bells jingle and jingle, the sound is loud enough to wake people up, but no one in the house turns on the lights and everyone seems to be used to the sound of the bells.

    Shen Wangyan, who was walking in front, stopped and looked in one direction.

    Before Bao Le could speak, his expression changed suddenly, and he ran towards the direction he was looking at, and disappeared into the night in a flash.Jiang Bao Le stayed where he was, not knowing what to say for a moment.

    But she doesn't know the way!

    After going back and forth, the little girl who was not too courageous still decided to find the black hoodie that had abandoned her just now.At least, she can only determine one direction now, which is the direction in which he disappeared.And Shen Wangyan in the black hoodie always makes her feel inexplicably unreliable, maybe this is the chick plot of the rescued little girl.

    Bao Le turned on the flashlight of his phone, and walked towards an unknown direction in the dark.

    She didn't know that she was taken to the back door of the house, which was connected to the mountains, and there was a road to go up the mountains.No one came to the back door for a long time, and because of the lack of people, no one cleared the weeds here.The new grass is mixed with withered and yellow old grass, which can be as high as Bao Le's thigh.

    Does this road really have a road? It looks completely different from the magnificent mansion in front, it is a small abandoned yard.

    After walking for a while, she saw a courtyard gate, and the words written on the gate made her break out in a cold sweat.It is nothing but the words "Ruan Xiangju".

    Could this be the Ruan Xiangju where she lived?

    Could it be that what she actually came to was an abandoned old house? It is indeed unscientific to have such an old house in the mountains.What kind of place is Zijin Mountain, the place where leaders and martyrs are buried, not to mention every inch of land and every inch of gold, who would dare to build a house in such a place!So the old housekeeper, the old lady, and even Shen Wangyan are all dreaming of her, or they...

    Not human at all!

    At this time, she simply hated herself for watching two horror movies to cultivate her sentiments when she was free. She was obviously terrified of dying, but she covered her eyes with her hands while watching it in pain and joy.The current Jiang Baole can't control her brain at all, everything makes her scare herself all the time.

    In a daze, she seemed to hear Shen Wangyan's voice.

    "you are late."

    There seems to be another voice, babbling, like the sound of opera coming from an old-fashioned radio. Is it the voice of a woman singing an opera?This is too weird.

    "I've been waiting for you for a long time."

    That's right, that voice is Shen Wangyan!The little girl's eyes lit up, and she trotted towards the direction of the voice without caring about anything else.The scene in front of her eyes suddenly opened up, and the weeds seemed to have disappeared, but the red lantern flames on the door dazzled her eyes.

    The familiar sandalwood is close at hand.

    Shen Wangyan froze for a moment, then looked at Jiang Baole.

    Bao Le's eyes widened when he saw him, and before he could put away the smile of meeting old friends in a foreign land, he saw a woman standing in front of Shen Wangyan.

    A very weird woman.

    He just stood at the door, standing straight and stiff.The candlelight shone on half of her face, and the other half was hidden in the night, half dark and half bright.

    But she is very good-looking, with curved eyebrows, red lips and white teeth.Wearing a red wedding dress again, like a bride who came out of a play.She put one hand on Shen Wangyan's wrist, and put the other on her abdomen, and the long nails on both hands were painted with Koudan, which was a terrifying red.Although the woman's facial features are delicate and exquisite, her face is as white as paper, her bright red lips seem to be able to spit out blood, and her pair of peach blossom eyes can see through people's hearts even more, so she also raised her head and glanced in her direction.

    This is definitely not human, she just knows it.

    The woman laughed softly, her voice was shrill, exactly the same as the song she heard just now.

    It turned out that she was singing...

    It turned out that she was singing!

    Bao Le came back to her senses, a gust of wind blew up her bangs, before she could close her wide-open eyes, the gorgeous woman before suddenly teleported in front of her.

    When the eyes were dark, the little girl knew nothing behind her.

    ...

    Light, there is light!

    It was already dawn, and the alarm clock on the mobile phone at 6 o'clock every day was beeping cheerfully.

    Bao Le pulled the phone a few times with his hand, closed his eyes and pressed the alarm clock, after a while he remembered something, and struggled to sit up again, only to find that he appeared on the bed he lay down last night.Dream.Did she really get up at night? If she did get up at night, who brought her back?She rubbed her temples, looked for her shoes, and planned to get up first.She put on the shoes but stopped when she saw the dirt and dead grass on the shoes. Everything that happened last night was not a dream!

    Bao Le put on his shoes and opened the door.Before she opened the door, she was afraid that she would find the house full of weeds, and that the whole house would turn into a haunted house just like in her dream.Fortunately, the house is still normal, there are already many servants busy at six o'clock in the morning.

    "Miss Jiang is awake, my master invites you to come over." Butler Hu happened to pass by, saw her standing at the gate of the courtyard, and enthusiastically walked over to call her.

    Seeing a familiar person, Bao Le finally calmed down, nodded and followed behind Butler Hu.

    "Miss is a little black and blue now," Housekeeper Hu asked her, "Did you not sleep well?"

    Bao Le shook his head, and did not tell what he saw last night, so Housekeeper Hu stopped asking any more questions.

    After walking for a while, Bao Le suddenly asked, "Shen Wangyan...does he have brothers?"

    "The Shen family has come to Master Yan's generation, and there is only this young master," Hu Guanjia said, "there are no other cousins. The owner's family has only one son, and the eldest young master left earlier, leaving only young master Yan.child."

    It turned out that this was still a single pass.

    ...

    Butler Hu took Bao Le to the room where we had dinner yesterday.

    Fortunately, the whole family did not eat breakfast together. In the room, apart from the old lady sitting in the main seat, only Shen Wangyan was sitting next to her.Because of the two of them, there was no turntable on the table. Instead, she saw the jade bracelet she brought over yesterday at the side of the breakfast table.

    "Miss Jiang gets up quite early, young people nowadays, there are really not many who can get up so early." The old lady smiled.

    Bao Le twitched the corner of his mouth calmly.

    Shen Wangyan is still wearing the white waistcoat from last night at this moment, and she can't relate to the black hoodie from last night for this nobleman's appearance.It's just that his complexion is not very good, and your son can't resist being a little sick.Does his physical condition follow his attire?

    Shen Wangyan looked her up and down, and said slowly, as if concerned or tentative: "Did you rest well yesterday?"

    "Excellent." Bao Le sat down by himself.

    I thought that didn't eat enough last night, and was frightened so much in vain at night, no matter what the truth is, can only fight when have a full stomach.

    Housekeeper Hu served her a bowl of porridge, and Bao Le gave her a grateful look.

    The old lady said: "I was talking to Ah Yan about the blood jade bracelet just now. Ms. Jiang is really ingenious. My old lady is really satisfied with being able to restore this bracelet like this."

    Bao Le is very proud, after all, it is professional.

    "This bracelet was given to me by Grandpa Ah Yan in the early years. He has been away for so long, so this bracelet can be used to see things and think about others. Who knows that the servant was careless and fell, and he kept it from me. In the end, I thought about it.There are only a few pieces missing to restore.”

    The old lady said: "However, Miss Jiang, how did you come up with the idea of engraving the word 'Brocade' with gold ornaments? Generally, ordinary people think of flowers or birds when carving this kind of bracelets. You are the first one to engrave characters."

    "The old lady's bracelet is expensive at first glance, so I spent some time looking for some information," Baole said, "To tell you the truth, our Yuan Baozhai is also an antique business, a few friendsAfter reading it, I also said that this kind of blood jade is like the blood jade that was popular for a while in the period of the Republic of China. There are only three pieces that have been preserved in the world. The formation of the blood jade, in addition to the iron that is exposed to nature, enters the jade.There is also the manual intervention of craftsmen, and the blood is introduced into the jade and then after hundreds of years of precipitation. And the three pieces of blood jade in this collection are all due to the special method used by the craftsman, and the lines in the blood jade look more like a wordThese blood jades have a characteristic, that is, the blood threads of the blood jades usually float on the surface, but the blood threads of the book blood jades are close to the center of the jade, and the outer layer of white jade can still remain transparent and clear, just like the old lady. Three pieces of blood jade, the most complete piece is in the museum. I went to see it years ago. I also checked a lot of information on the remaining two pieces. One was taken to Japan by the Japanese during the war of aggression against China, and the other is said to be privateCollection, whereabouts are unknown. The missing piece, the character in the blood jade is the word 'Jin'. I looked carefully, but I didn't see the word in the jade bracelet. Presumably the damaged part of the jade bracelet isIt is the most precious collection of blood characters in Blood Jade."

    The old lady took a deep breath, and said with some emotion: "Indeed, you are right. It is rare to have such insight at such a young age. There are three blood jades in the book collection, all of which were made by famous ancient craftsmen in memory of their dead wives.There is a word for it. It’s just that my boudoir’s name happens to have the word for one of them, so my husband went all over the world to find this blood jade for me, and later made this bracelet.”

    Bao Le did not expect this bracelet to have such a background story.

    The old lady of the Shen family recalled the past with a slightly sad face, but she did not forget to give her the reward.To Bao Le's surprise, this family's spending was really generous, as expected of an old-fashioned aristocratic family living in the deep mountains of Longmai.

    The inexplicable depression of the night seemed to be washed away by the joy of money. Bao Le's mood suddenly brightened, and he even wanted to ask, "Is there anything else you need to fix in your house? I can do it all."

    Shen Wangyan, who was sitting by the side, didn't say a word the whole time, and only coughed twice unbearably when the old lady was greeting her.He deliberately lowered his voice, but the old lady still noticed, frowned, and looked sideways at him.Bao Le also looked at him, just now when he had a cough attack, Young Master Shen's complexion became even worse, now he covered his mouth with one hand, clenched his fist with the other, and patted his chest lightly.

    "Have you taken any medicine?"

    "Eat it when you get back to the house." Shen Wangyan put down his hand and smiled calmly.This cough came on urgently, which made his face a little more bloody, and his lips were also much redder, but they were still paler than normal.

    She doesn't know medicine, and she doesn't know what kind of disease he is.He is so good in skill, what disease can he have?

    The old lady said lightly: "You are the only child in my Shen family, don't learn from your father."

    Shen Wangyan nodded: "I know."

    "Go back and rest," the old lady waved her hand, and looked at her lovingly by the way, "Good boy, may I find someone to take you down the mountain?"

    Bao Le nodded in bewilderment—wait a minute, she's not full yet!After the old lady said this, she stopped looking at her, as if the kindness just now was an illusion.What's going on with this family, are they all fans of face-changing Sichuan opera?

    ...

    Shen Wangyan got up and left first, she wished to carry a few more buns in her arms, but she didn't dare, and followed him cowardly and left the cool room together.It had just rained two days ago, so it wasn't too hot, and she was too cold last night.But today is a sunny day, and the sun retains the last viciousness of summer.

    Bao Le raised his hand, and the shadow of his hand covered his eyes.When first entered the house, the sun was not so bright, but after sitting for a while, it became so hot.

    Butler Hu came out and asked her, "Miss, did you come by car? I'll find a driver to take you down the mountain."

    She was about to refuse, but Shen Wangyan didn't leave for some reason, and answered for her first.

    "Uncle Hu, Miss Jiang and I still have something to talk about."

    Bao Le looked at him in surprise.

    The sun coated the too pale young master with a layer of gold, and his whole body seemed to be shining.
