Chapter 1282 The Cowherd and Weaver Girl
"What are you drinking, tea or drink?" Zhao Yihan wiped away her tears and turned her head to ask me.
"Tea," I answered casually, and then looked around.
Her house is very big, with three bedrooms and two living rooms nearly 200 square meters.
The tidying was also neat and well organized, but it seemed a little deserted.
It can be seen that she is in a bad mood recently and is not in the mood to take care of it carefully. The leaves of the wealthy bamboos in the living room are all yellow. I guess they have not been watered for a long time, and even the windowsills and cabinet corners are covered with a faint layer of dust.
Only the kumquat trees placed on the coffee table are rubbed into a crystal clear and spotless clean manner.
"He likes this pot of kumquat the most." Zhao Yihan gently placed the teacup in front of me, sat on the sofa opposite, recalled: "Every time he went home, no matter how late or tired he was, he never forgot to take care of kumquats. His careful appearance was like a child who had not grown up."
After saying that, a smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Yihan's mouth, but the smile was very bitter.
"Do your husband have a hobby for collecting antiques?" I asked immediately, holding the teacup in both hands.
"No." Zhao Yihan shook his head gently: "He has a low level of education, so he is not interested in this."
"So has he brought back something special?" I continued to ask.
Although I don’t want her husband to have any accidents, there is a hint of weirdness from beginning to end. How could my husband go home in a year? And he just disappeared while the rooster crowed?
"It seems... it's not." Zhao Yihan thought hard for a moment, then shook his head.
"Oh by the way!" Suddenly, she suddenly remembered something and shouted: "Two years ago, he took back a safe and put it under the bed, but he never gave me the key."
"Go and have a look." I immediately became alert.
There was a huge wedding photo hanging on the head of the bedroom bed. The two of them smiled so sweetly. It was imagined how happy they should have been.
Zhao Yihan bent over and moved a small box from under the bed. The box was only one foot square, but it was very heavy. Zhao Yihan handed it to me with great difficulty.
This is a specially-encrypted safe with a layer of steel plate embedded on the outside. The space inside should not be very large. With a slight shaking, a slight sound made, and the sound seemed to be something like paper or something.
As I shook, a gloomy breath spread out from it, and even the thermometer in the room dropped several degrees.
"This box is weird!" I immediately made a judgment and looked up and asked Zhao Yihan: "Do you know the password?"
"I don't know." Zhao Yihan's eyes were confused: "He took it back two years ago, and he never told me, or I accidentally discovered it while cleaning the room, and I never asked what was installed inside."
"What's wrong with this box, there must be something special hidden inside." I looked at her as if I was asking: "If I don't have a password and key, I can only force it to open it!"
Zhao Yihan nodded without hesitation, and then followed my instructions and quickly found some tools.
Although the tools she found were not handy, I had no experience in prying safes, fortunately I didn’t have to be as careful as a thief and didn’t rush for time.
After more than ten minutes, I finally pried open the lock of the safe with sweat.
The hidden thing inside surprised me, it was just a yellow envelope.
However, I dare not be careless at all - because the strong yin energy evaporated from the envelope.
I took out the cinnabar, wiped a piece of it on the envelope, and then carefully opened the envelope.
There are only two things inside.
In a wedding photo, the two of them snuggled together sweetly, their faces filled with a very happy smile, and two lines of words were written next to them: Flying together and growing old together.
Another thing is a small pink bamboo book.
The style of the book is very simple, with a brilliant galaxy on it, and a large group of magpies flying all over the sky, forming a curved bridge.
This is……
My heart beat, and I immediately had an unknown premonition. I quickly opened the book, but saw that it was written in essence and blood: Jiayin, Dingmao, Xinyou, Yizi.
Obviously, this is a person’s birth date.
"When is your husband's birth date?" I asked anxiously.
Zhao Yihan seemed to have noticed something, and her expression changed, she quickly said it, and then asked me: "What's wrong? He... is he okay?"
I counted my fingers and found that the birth date left on the letter was her husband's!
Although I have never seen this book, I know a great love legend about it, which is the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl.
It is said that the Weaver Girl is a fairy. Once he came down to earth to meet Cowherd. He was attracted by Cowherd's simplicity and kindness, so the two became husband and wife. Unexpectedly, the Weaver Girl's mother, the Queen Mother, forced the Weaver Girl back to the Heavenly Palace, allowing the two to look at each other across the Milky Way, but they were not allowed to get together.
Later, their steadfast love moved the magpies. The magpies spontaneously built a magpies bridge on the Milky Way, allowing the two to meet proudly. After the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother learned about it, they were also quite moved, so they set the seventh day of July every year as the Chinese Valentine's Day, allowing them to meet on this day.
Gradually, the Chinese Valentine's Day also became China's Valentine's Day.
This is a myth, but another bizarre thing happened in the Tang Dynasty.
During the reign of Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, a poor scholar fell ill in a deserted mountain and ridge while on his way to the exam. He was rescued by a civilian girl who visited the grave for his father. After many care, the scholar gradually recovered from his serious illness and fell in love with the civilian girl and decided for his whole life.
After the scholar recovered from illness, he went to the capital. The girl sent her eighteen miles in a row and shed tears to leave.
The scholar was very talented and won the top scorer in Wenkui in one fell swoop. He refused all officials' good intentions to be adopted as good son-in-law, and even refused Emperor Taizong of Tang's intention to be appointed as the son-in-law, and resolutely wanted to marry the daughter of the people as his wife.
But unfortunately, shortly after he went to Beijing to take the exam, the girl fell seriously ill and quickly left her feet. When the villagers said that when she was dying, she still held the token of love left by the scholar and did not rest in peace.
The scholar was heartbroken and died of a murderous death by hitting a tree in front of the grave of a civilian girl. Because he was already the top scholar in high school, the matter was reported to Emperor Taizong of Tang.
After hearing this, Emperor Taizong of Tang sighed and immediately ordered someone to build a joint tomb for scholars and women to commend their steadfast love.
But at this moment, Yuan Tiangang, the first fortune teller of the Tang Dynasty, reported: "The top scholar was originally a star who came to heaven, and he would ascend to heaven after his death. But the girl died of illness and would inevitably turn into a lonely ghost. Even if she was buried in one place, she would probably not be able to stay together forever."
Taizong hurriedly asked, "What should I do?"
Yuan Tiangang smiled and said, "I can create a letter with my own hands to report to King Yan Luo, and let these two people gather again every year on the Chinese Valentine's Day."
