Introduction to "Old Dreams of Chang'an"
The deep snow in the Jingan Marquis Mansion concealed old secrets. When the daughter Su Tingxue met the silent embroiderer Luo in the West Cross Courtyard and was speechless, she did not realize what kind of storm this encounter would set off. The bronze lock on the wrist of the woman in blue is exactly the same as the unopenable copper lock in her dressing box; the dark pattern of half a peony on the moon-white embroidered handkerchief is exactly the remnant of the Qiluo Pavilion cloak in her mother's dowry - the fire that burned down the famous embroidery workshop in Jiangnan three years ago has never really been extinguished.
When Luo Aya used gold thread to hide the word "help" in the white fox embroidered handkerchief, and when the interlayer of "Fishing Alone on the Cold River" revealed a map pointing to the secret room, two women with very different identities were forced to conclude a secret alliance. In the severe pain of the knife in Su Tingxue's shoulder blade, she could clearly see the fangs under the gentle mask of the third prince; in the burn scars on Luo Aya's neck, the truth about Qiluo Pavilion's silence was hidden. When the half-pieces of jade pendants with the word "Luo" engraved on them were put together, they finally understood: the so-called embroidery is a code to convey a secret message; the so-called mute girl is a survivor who has carried a blood feud.
The account books in the secret room of the Hou Mansion record the dirty transactions of the court, and the dandelions from the south of the Yangtze River bring an invitation to rebirth. When the Duke of Zhen's cavalry crushed the conspiracy, Su Tingxue looked at Luo's retreating figure, knowing that the bond that started under the wintersweet tree would eventually continue to write a new chapter in the spring scenery of Jiangnan. When the bronze lock is opened, is it the evidence of crime or the life-and-death friendship between two women across classes?
