rebirth daughter returns

"A token?"

Shao Xue repeated these two words.

Zang Ling'er knew that she didn't understand what it meant.

So she asked her to open the box: "Open it and see what's inside."

Shao Xue heard what Zang Linger said, so she started to open the box.

The mahogany box has a sense of age, simple and exquisite, and the inside seems to have the feeling of time passing by.

Shao Xue slowly opened the box, and saw a delicate green sandalwood comb lying quietly inside the box.

She frowned, and became more and more puzzled: "This is... a comb?"

Shao Xue felt a little strange, thinking that the thing handed over from Zang Linger would be some expensive treasure.

But I don't want to, it's just a comb with fine and simple workmanship.

"It's a comb."

"Is it appropriate to take this to meet the old man of the Luo family?"

Shao Xue was even more puzzled.

When starting from Yuncheng, Song Yunxuan had already told her in advance that after arriving in Hong Kong City, she had to go to Zang's house to get something before she could go to Luo's old man.

The purpose of her trip to meet the old man of the Luo family was to make the old man of the Luo family agree to marry Luo Xi.

However, just relying on a green sandalwood comb, how could the old man of the Luo family allow it?

She held the green sandalwood comb with her fingers, her eyebrows were slightly frowned, and she couldn't understand the reason.

Looking at her frowning eyebrows, Zang Ling'er knew that she didn't know much about the Luo family.

So he said, "You only saw this comb, but you didn't see anything other than this comb."

"Ok?"

Shao Xue looked at Zang Linger.

Zang Ling'er smiled easily, reached out to hold Shao Xue's fingers, and let her sit on the sofa: "The old man of the Luo family was very affectionate with his wife when he was young."

Shao Xue took the comb in her hand and understood a little: "Is this the hair comb used by the old man's wife?"

"That's right, this is the token of love between the two back then."

Zang Linger smiled.

Shao Xue understood: "Seeing this comb, the old man will definitely think of his wife back then, right?"

"Yes," Zang Ling'er nodded, and then continued, "The old man's wife is not beautiful but she loves him very much. The old man also loves this lady very much, and he has not continued to look for her in the 30 years since his wife died. other women."

"30 years..."

Shao Xue thought for a while.

Now the old man is 75 years old, that is to say, the old man was only 30 years old when he was widowed 45 years ago.

At the age of 45, it is not too difficult for a man to find a wife.

Especially rich and outstanding men.

However, the old man did not go to find another woman, but continued to live alone until now.

If you think about it carefully, you can understand how much the old man has deep thoughts and feelings for his wife.

If it weren't for such deep and unforgettable feelings, how could he live alone with his children for so many years after his wife passed away?
Holding the exquisite green sandalwood comb in both hands, Shao Xue sighed and was also moved.

Zang Ling'er said again: "The old man's wife helped the old man a lot when he started his business when he was young, and she also suffered a lot, and even saved her life."

Shao Xue pursed her lips: "Then this lady is really a good wife."

"But he died too early, and he didn't enjoy a few years of blessings. When the old man's career was getting better, this lady began to get sick. She stayed in bed for five or six years, but she still couldn't make it through. She passed away in the winter of 30 years ago. "

Zang Linger also sighed a little when she said it.

Shao Xue looked at Zang Linger: "Then where did you get this comb?"

"That's a lot of stories." Zang Ling'er's lips curled up, and she looked at Shao Xue with a smile in her eyes.

Shao Xue also smiled: "Then would you like to tell me this story?"

"Things that can be explained clearly in a few sentences, why didn't I tell you." Zang Ling'er took the comb from her hand, then looked at the teeth of the comb and the green sandalwood on the back of the comb, and said, "This comb The comb was made by a family of carders back then. It might have been rare 30 years ago, but it was very common 50 years ago. At that time, the old man of the Luo family was at a low point in his life and career. Seeing that his investment failed and his business didn't improve, he took all the dowry and other things to the pawn shop to exchange money. My Zang family had a branch business of the pawn shop a hundred years ago, and Grandma Luoxi's comb was just right. It was pawned in my pawn shop. It is said that the person who received the comb said that the comb was not worth much, that is, the price of a needle thread, but the lady hesitated for a long time with the comb before pawning it. My grandmother I also like to collect my daughter’s household items. When I went to the store and saw the comb in the clerk’s hand, I liked it very much, so I asked about the origin and took the comb away.”

"It's rare to keep this comb for 50 years." Shao Xue was a little surprised.

Zang Linger smiled: "You don't know much about our Zang family. My grandfather is a very shrewd person and is always good at collecting all kinds of useful things. This comb was used by my grandmother. It took about two or three years. The business of the old man of the Luo family started slowly. My grandfather kept the comb when he found out about the origin of the comb. Later, he heard that the old man of the Luo family had asked someone to find the whereabouts of the comb. Get excited and put the comb on the Bogu rack in Cangtian Pavilion."

Shao Xue half understood and half understood.

If Song Yunxuan was here at the moment, Song Yunxuan would tell her—there are all kinds of things that are very restraining to people on the ancient shelves of the Zangtian Pavilion in the Zang family, and this comb is exactly what made Luo The role of the old man changing his mind.

Having said this, Zang Linger didn't continue to talk about the Zang family in depth, but said: "Go see the old man of the Zang family after you have lunch."

"En." Shao Xue nodded.

Zang Linger said: "Don't be nervous, I will send you there when the time comes."

"Thank you."

Shao Xue was polite and polite, and Zang Linger had a good impression of her.

The servants in the house also prepared a hearty lunch.

Zang Ling'er had made an appointment with Mr. Luo the day before. There was news from the old man that they had time this afternoon and they could go there.

However, the old man did not give a clear answer as to what time it was.

Both Shao Xue and Zang Ling'er felt that it was better to go to this kind of thing early, and they seemed to be sincere.

At two o'clock, I went to Luo's house to visit the old man.

After hearing that Zang Linger had brought another girl over, the butler of the Luo family smiled and replied, "I'm sorry, our old man is resting, please wait a moment."

Zang Ling'er asked the housekeeper when the old man woke up.

But Shao Xue stopped her and said first: "Then I'll wait, and please notify us when the old man wakes up."

The housekeeper nodded when he heard Shao Xue say that: "Okay."

"Aren't you in a hurry?"

Zang Ling'er turned to look at Shao Xue.

Shao Xue smiled: "There's nothing to worry about, just wait, the old man can't be disturbed when he's resting."

Zang Linger followed suit with a smile: "It's true."

The two were waiting in the living room.

None of the servants at home came to serve them tea or talk to them.

The two of them felt as if they were being hung out in the living room.

Both Shao Xue and Zang Ling'er are keen smart people.

After realizing that she was left out in the cold by the Luo family, Zang Linger smiled: "I think the old man wants to give you a little trouble."

Maybe the old man didn't take a rest, but just didn't see them on purpose.

After all, when meeting the old man, Zang Ling'er didn't tell the old man that she would bring Shao Xue over.

Now that Shao Xue came over, the old man not only didn't see them, but also felt that Zang Ling'er deliberately used this method, and even began to be dissatisfied with Zang Ling'er.

Shao Xue said: "I'm sorry, I have troubled you."

Shao Xue apologized to Zang Linger.

Zang Ling'er smiled: "What's the trouble?"

After finishing speaking, he opened his mouth and said, "Give me the box in your hand."

When Shao Xue heard that Zang Linger wanted to take the box, she hurriedly passed the box in her hand to Zang Linger.

Zang Linger said: "You wait here, I'll leave for a while, and I'll be back soon."

Shao Xue nodded.

Zang Ling'er was going upstairs.

As soon as Zang Linger walked upstairs, a housekeeper immediately stopped her: "I'm sorry, Miss Zang, our master is resting now."

Zang Ling'er smiled: "In this case, please ask sister Xu to help me hand this over to your master."

Zang Ling'er handed the mahogany box in her hand to sister Xu, the housekeeper.

Butler Xu frowned, but reached out to take the box.

Because the box was originally made of mahogany, it was a bit heavy, and it was impossible to guess what was inside.

Sister Xu didn't ask what was inside.

But Zang Linger added: "Sister Xu, please tell the old man that this is brought by Miss Shao Xue."

Steward Xu became more curious and puzzled when he heard what Zang Linger said.

However, due to the profession, you can't ask too much.

He had no choice but to look for Luo Jiachi with the box in his hands.

Luojiachi is not resting, it is simply practicing calligraphy in the study.

The spirit is also very good.

Steward Xu knocked lightly on the door of the study, and heard the old man say, "Come in."

Butler Xu pushed the door open and went in.

The old man continued to practice calligraphy without raising his head, his handwriting was vigorous and powerful.

Butler Xu saw that the old man didn't intend to look up, so he had no choice but to say: "Master, Ms. Shao outside asked me to hand over this thing to you."

Hearing Sister Xu's words, Luo Jiachi looked down at the words drawn on the tip of the pen, and snorted coldly: "She's a smart girl, and she's well-informed. It seems that Luo Xi has already told her that I don't agree with them being together. , that’s why I came here in a hurry to send something to make me happy.”

Butler Xu said, "Master, do you want to open it and have a look?"

After Luo Jiachi finished writing the word 'Min', he put the brush on the nearby pen hill, and said, "Take it here and have a look, I want to see if she can do what I like."

Hearing the old man's order, the butler walked over, opened the mahogany box, and showed it to Luo Jiachi.

The butler can't see what's inside the box.

But he could see the expression on Luo Jiachi's face.

When Luo Jiachi saw the contents in the box, his pupils shrank obviously, and his eyes widened in shock.
