After discussing the topic of the Zhang family, Song Xi took the initiative to bring up some light things.

"Dao Jiu and Lei Qi have returned, and they have brought back a lot of news about Huayang Hou Mansion. Unfortunately, more than half of the ocelot cats accompanying them were killed or injured, and now only eight have returned. I see that Dao Jiu and Lei Qi are very reluctant to leave, so they

I rewarded them with all the remaining ocelots."

After saying that, he handed over another parchment fragment.

"This thing is also one of their gains from this trip. See if you can put it together into a complete map."

Yu Yalan took the sheepskin fragment and looked at it carefully for a long time before she suddenly realized, "So this is it..."

With a flip of his hand, he took out the other fragments from the space, tried to put them together, and said: "It seems that there are still two pieces left. I don't know when I was destined to meet them. I never thought that I could get any treasure left by the previous dynasty.

Unknowingly, I received so many scraps.”

Collecting treasure maps to hunt for treasure has always required extraordinary luck and fate.

Even though they had obtained the Ni Treasure by chance, they still didn't have high hopes for this legendary treasure from the previous royal family.

The six treasure map fragments currently in hand are from Yan Yidao in Xianping County, Tong Ziliang from Yanzhou Prefecture, two presented by Luo Sihai after conquering Xijing Prefecture, one obtained from the Tatar capital during the expedition, and Dao Jiu

The one he got from Huayang Hou Mansion with Lei Qi.

The scattered directions of these treasure map fragments are irregular, and there are no specific clues on how to find the remaining two pieces.

It just so happens that this thing is so exquisitely designed that the correct address cannot be found without any fragment.

Yu Yalan stared at the broken picture on the table, frowned and then relaxed, smiling slightly helplessly: "Well, it's better not to deliberately think about anything. It would be bad if it turns into an obsession."

If you get such a huge amount of money once, you are already lucky. It is not good to dream about it a second time.

If you study this way in Jiji camp, it will easily distort a person's character over time.

It is better to wait patiently and let nature take its course, make good use of it if you have it, and be indifferent if you don't have it.

Making money must always rely on hard work with both hands, and focusing on the business development of the industry is the right way.

Song Xi watched her expression change and twist, and couldn't help showing a bit of amusement on her face, "The remaining two fragments are actually not clueless. Think about it, why was Yan Yidao framed and hunted down in the first place?

?Why does Tong Ziliang happen to have a broken picture in his hand? There are so many big merchants in the northwest, why is it that only Luo Sihai survived the disaster?"

Yu Yalan recalled half of the salary, and suddenly her eyes lit up: "The Jinling royal family has at least one fragment of the treasure map!"

The reason why Yan Yidao was hunted down by the county captain Xu Chong was because of the fragment of the treasure map in the hands of Yan's family.

The master behind Xu Chong was the eldest prince who was very popular at the time.

There is also Tong Ziliang, who is far away in Yanzhou, who is also a hidden stake planted by the eldest prince in the northwest. He can get a fragment of the treasure map, and he must have been ordered to look for it.

As for Fan Yuanqing, who confiscated Luo Sihai's wealth and ransacked his house, he had always been dealing with the old emperor and several princes. He had pocketed the wealth of the big merchants, and it was not surprising that he helped the princes collect some fragments of the treasure map.

It allows the Wu royal family to use all their means to collect and search for it. Most of the treasures left by the former royal family are indeed real.

They should have collected at least one fragment in their hands, which would have been inherited by the current Emperor Longhe.

"I wonder if the emperor has any ideas about this treasure map? If he doesn't pay attention to this at all, it will be difficult to determine the whereabouts of the fragments. We have not found any fragments of the map in the old palace. In case it was stolen when the royal family moved south.

Or lost..."

Then it becomes a difficult task to find a needle in a haystack.

Song Xi was very open-minded about this, "It's a direction of investigation after all. Whether you can find it or not depends entirely on luck. Then you can ask Jinling's spies to keep an eye on it. If they find it, they will find a way to get it. If not, it doesn't matter."

Yu Yalan nodded, remembering that her younger brother was once very keen on treasure hunting, she couldn't help but smile: "You can't let Hongxuan know about this, otherwise he will have to commit suicide and go to Jinling himself. Wait until all the fragments are collected, and then he can start digging for treasures."

Assign it to him."

Song Xi smiled knowingly, "Brother Xuan will definitely be dancing with joy."

…

It was the end of October and the autumn rain had just fallen.

The weather in Beijing is a little colder again.

The month-long product promotion event finally came to an end, and Yu Yalan took advantage of this opportunity to make a lot of money.

A few days later, before the merchants from all walks of life gathered in the capital had left, the wedding procession from the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion entered the capital in a mighty manner.

However, it was very different from the beautiful vision envisioned by the Zhang family.

Song Xi showed no concern for their arrival, and could even be said to be wary.

The Zhang family was subjected to multiple interrogations when they entered the border of Beizhili. Not only were many people in the wedding party arrested and imprisoned, but some tough-minded envoys were also beheaded on the spot.

The originally joyful wedding procession was cast a bloody shadow, and the once confident Zhang family became anxious.

The exhaustion of the journey mixed with the worries in their hearts made their faces look particularly haggard when they entered Beijing.

They finally woke up when they were arranged to settle in their old residence in a deserted manner, dreaming of being greeted by Song Xi in person.

Seeing the Zhang family's listless appearance, the eunuch sent by the emperor couldn't help but said in a strange tone: "Oh, Mr. Marquis, it seems that your grandson doesn't welcome us very much! It's a great joy to be granted marriage by the Holy Emperor. Why?

Why are you so neglectful of us? Haven't you always praised Lord Song for being filial and sensible? Why didn't you see him come to visit you after arriving in Beijing? Our family is still rushing back to Jinling to report to the emperor. Do you think we should go to Prince Qin Wu's palace to announce the decree?

?”

The Zhang family was in high spirits on their trip north, and they kept talking about Song Xi intentionally or unintentionally on the way.

At one moment, he said that Song Xi was very filial to Marquis Weiyuan and would obey his grandfather's arrangements. At another moment, he thought about his future life after entering Beijing and discussed which palace they should live in.

Both the words and the words hinted at the envoys and eunuchs accompanying the bride, and the Zhang family would surely become half the masters of the capital.

They are Song Xi's only remaining relatives in the world, so it is natural for them to assist their grandson in managing affairs in the North.

It was so frustrating to live in Jinling before, but now we can't wait to move our family.

The courage of the Zhang family also swelled, and they dared to shout and drink at the people sent by the emperor.

Although the envoys and eunuchs were dissatisfied, they did not doubt the Zhang family's judgment.

After all, the culture of the Zhou Dynasty has always valued filial piety. No matter how hard Song Xi resisted the marriage, as long as the grandfather Weiyuan Hou asked, even a king with a different surname must bow and compromise.

Unexpectedly, when they actually entered the capital, they discovered that the reality was completely different from what they imagined.

What about "being very filial" and "obedient" as promised?
