Chapter 275: Facts
Shopkeeper Dou seemed to be just a gesture, but he didn't notice that the lady of the family he wanted to help was already pale and didn't even dare to raise his head after seeing Shopkeeper Lu.
Shopkeeper Lu didn't look at her either, only had a gloomy face, and said extremely coldly: "What does it matter to me whether the Cheng family is dead or alive, why should I help her to identify it? Brother Dou, don't say that the elder brother refuses to give you this face, you broke into my gold shop with so many people." If something is lost or damaged, are you responsible for compensation?"
"You ......" Shopkeeper Dou didn't expect that Shopkeeper Lu, who had always had a good relationship, would be so faceless that his beard would fly.
Hua Lianyue raised her eyebrows slightly, and her eyes gradually became a little interested when she looked at the shopkeeper Lu. It seems that in addition to being a married lady, she has found a new breakthrough. It's just that the vigilance of this shopkeeper Lu is obviously higher than that of the married lady, and it is not easy to get the words out of his mouth.
In the private room on the second floor, Lan'er frowned slightly, and muttered: "How could it be her?" Suddenly, she sneered again: "She is still King Xian's favorite wife, she actually bullied other people's orphans and widows, and she broke other people's things and refused to compensate according to the price, she is really poor and sour, and I don't know what King Xian likes about her." ”
Her muttering naturally couldn't escape Young Master Long's ears, he looked at her sideways, squinted his eyes slightly and said suspiciously: "Miss Lan'er is saying that the woman who is making trouble downstairs is the Lady Yue of Xianwang Xinna?"
As soon as these words came out, Lan'er's face stiffened. She wrung the Juanpa in her hand a little lost, and said sullenly: "It turns out that this Lady Yue is so famous, even Young Master Long, you know her." Speaking of this, she couldn't help but say sourly: "Also, it is said that Mrs. Yue's methods are vicious, and her temperament is jealous and domineering, so she is naturally not limited to showing her head." Since Young Master Long is from the capital, it is not surprising that he knows her. ”
When Young Master Long heard this, the interest in his eyes became stronger and stronger, and he muttered: "The methods are vicious, and the temperament is jealous and domineering, I haven't seen such an interesting woman for a long time." His deep eyes almost stuck to Hua Lianyue's body through the flickering bead curtain.
Seeing this, Lan'er couldn't help but panic in her chest, and the Juanpa in her hand was almost strangled. The nameless fire in her heart rushed to her head, she stood up suddenly, and said angrily: "I didn't expect Young Master Long to think that a woman with vicious methods is interesting, Lan'er really doesn't dare to agree." I can't watch that Mrs. Yue bully people like this, and Shu Lan'er won't accompany her. ”
She waved her sleeves, lifted the beaded curtain in front of her, and staggered downstairs. "Miss, Miss!" the little maid who had been standing quietly behind her hurriedly chased after her.
Lan'er walked abruptly, and Long Shiyi outside hurriedly came in to listen to orders. Young Master Long waved his hand indifferently and said, "It's just something to amuse in your spare time, don't worry about her." You pay attention, since Mrs. Yue is here, my good second brother who has made meritorious contributions must also follow. If there's any confusion waiting for, you can act on it. ”
Although he didn't say it explicitly, a strong killing intent flashed in his cold eyes. Long Shiyi's heart was shocked, and he immediately clenched his fists and said, "Yes!" He immediately turned around and went downstairs.
Hua Lianyue's heart suddenly trembled slightly, and she subconsciously raised her head and looked at the second floor, which was as quiet as ever. It's a pity that her vision is limited after all, she doesn't see anything except the swaying bead curtain, but the strange feeling of being targeted by a poisonous snake makes her secretly vigilant.
The shopkeeper Lu in front of him was already impatient to let the guys bring sticks to drive people away, and the guys pushed and shoved together with the people who were watching the excitement, shouting and scolding for a while, and the shouts were endless. If the shopkeeper Lu is determined to drive people away, Hua Lianyue will not be able to intervene forcibly, and she will be in trouble all of a sudden.
Feng Qi, who came in with the crowd, struggled to protect her, and whispered: "Mastermother, even if the shopkeeper Lu refuses to help with the identification, that warm jade bracelet has become the biggest flaw." The prince must have a way to clear his stigma, and he is not in a hurry at this time. ”
Hua Lianyue was unwilling after all, she said angrily: "It's a pity, now should be the best opportunity." After today, it is not so easy to calm down the rumors outside......"
The married lady had already had the intention of retreating, so she smeared oil on the soles of her feet and wanted to mix out with the crowd. Who knew that he had only taken a few steps, but his wrist was firmly grasped, and a coquettish voice suddenly sounded in a noisy voice: "Wait, I have something to say!"
The lady of the family already had a ghost in her heart, and she saw that she was a delicate girl who grabbed her, so she shook her hand impatiently and said: "The old lady doesn't have time to listen to your little girl's nonsense, so don't let it go!"
Lan'er originally had some kindness to help the widow and orphan, but she didn't expect that the shrew in front of her didn't appreciate it at all, and almost sprayed her with a spit on her face.
Lan'er suddenly hated this person in her heart, and saw Hua Lianyue not far away just looking over, taking in her embarrassment. She became more and more stubborn in her heart, so she grabbed the married lady and didn't let her leave, and raised her neck and screamed: "Don't be busy, everyone, I can also help this lady identify the value of the jade bracelet." ”
When the lady of the family heard this, her heart became more and more anxious, and she said without words: "It's really funny, the shopkeeper Lu doesn't dare to make a rash move, how much knowledge can you have as a little girl, you can help me identify the value of the jade bracelet." ”
Someone on the side said strangely: "Married lady, you are really strange." I used to let the family compensate for the money when I was rolling outside, but now someone is willing to stand up for you, but you shirk it vigorously.
It's only been half an hour, and you speak and act completely upside down, which is completely unreasonable. If there is really anything hidden, you might as well talk to us. They are all from the villagers, and everyone who can help will definitely help, don't be in a hurry and think about it in your head. Listening to the tone, this person thought that the lady of the family was in a hurry and was going crazy.
The lady of the family did have a secret secret in her heart, but she never dared to say it directly, now she only hated that she shouldn't have worn that troublesome bracelet to go out, and afterwards, she didn't know how to bury herself in the shopkeeper Lu.
So she sneered and said, "No, no, look at this little girl, although she is enthusiastic." But how many good things can she see here? I don't want to continue to cause trouble. ”
The maid who chased Lan'er was not happy when she heard this, she pinched her waist and scolded sharply: "Our young lady is the daughter of the county, she is kind and wants to help you." You dare to say that she doesn't know anything, but she really doesn't know what to do. ”
The daughters of the county family and the lady of the family jumped violently. Although the magistrate is only a small seven-pin, the current official is not as good as the current management, and the people are in charge of the general affairs of this side. If this delicate-looking girl is the daughter of the county, she really has the confidence and courage to meddle in her own affairs.
The lady of the family secretly complained bitterly, but she still had a smile on her face, and said humbly: "It turned out to be the daughter of the county magistrate's family, forgive me for my clumsiness, if you offend the young lady, please forgive me." ”
Lan'er didn't pay attention to it, her eyes passed through the crowd like an arrow, and firmly locked Hua Lianyue, who was protected by Feng Qi. She deliberately raised her voice and said sharply, "Mrs. Yue, did you break someone's bracelet and just want to leave?"
Hua Lianyue had already stood on her heels, although she was called out by Lan'er, she didn't have the slightest panic, she only smiled lightly: "I don't want to leave, but the shopkeeper refuses to keep people, and I can't continue to lie here without face and skin." ”
"Mrs. Moon, what Mrs. Moon?" asked the lady of the family suspiciously.
Lan'er sneered: "No wonder you can't recognize it, I almost thought I was dazzled." I didn't expect that the dignified Mrs. Xianwang would surrender her identity and dress up as a little girl to coax people around. ”
"Xian, Mrs. Xianwang!" the married lady screamed, almost biting her tongue. Her face instantly turned red from weakness and fear, and her body trembled uncontrollably. At this moment, even if she was a fool, she knew that Hua Lianyue had broken her jade bracelet on purpose.
She regretted it even more in her heart, she shouldn't have listened to the promise of Shopkeeper Lu to intercept the prisoner car. Now Mrs. Xianwang personally set herself up to drill, but I'm afraid that today's things can't be good.
"What are you afraid of, Miss Ben is in charge of you!" Lan'er noticed her fear, couldn't help but glared at her fiercely, and said angrily: "Even if she is Mrs. Xianwang, everything is inseparable from a rational word, and there is no reason to break other people's things and leave." ”
Lan'er had been selecting jewelry in Fengxiang Gold Shop before, but she didn't know that not long ago, the seemingly timid and fearful woman in front of her was intercepting the prisoner car on the street, crying out for her husband, and by the way, she vaguely charged King Xian with a big crime. Otherwise, she wouldn't have thought that Hua Lianyue had changed her face and hid just to avoid compensation.
Lan'er didn't know, but the other people knew. After hearing about Hua Liyue's true identity, she was a little nimble-minded, and instantly thought of something unusual in it. So they stopped and pricked up their ears to hear what was going on. After all, such anecdotes are not common, and they will be the capital to brag about after tea and dinner in the future.
Shopkeeper Lu also looked Hua Lianyue up and down in disbelief, and in his heart, he had already scolded the bad lady and the troubled Lan'er.
Lan'er thought that she had taken Hua Lianyue's shortcomings, and she was proud in her heart, so she raised her chin and said to the lady of the family with a proud face: "Bring your broken jade, Miss Ben will help you see how much it is worth." ”
The lady of the family said stubbornly: "Those broken jades have fallen in the chaos, and ...... have fallen."
Lan'er raised her eyebrows, but she heard an old man outside the crowd say loudly: "I didn't lose it, I didn't lose it, it's all here!" Seeing the shopkeeper Dou squeezing in from outside the crowd with broken jade, the beautiful face of the lady of the family turned from red to white in an instant.
Shopkeeper Dou wiped the slight sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, and said slightly apologetically: "Fortunately, I didn't lose it, it's all here!" He poured all the broken jade in his hand into Lan'er's hand.
Lan'er is young, and her experience in appraising jewelry is not as skilled as Shopkeeper Dou, although she is inexplicably jealous of Hua Lianyue, she doesn't dare to really wronged her, so she looks very carefully.
The shopkeeper Lu on the side had a gloomy face, so he subconsciously went to find Long Er's figure. After all, this matter was instructed by Ryuuji to do it, and now that something has gone wrong, he urgently needs to discuss with Ryuuji a solution to it. But after looking around, he found that the mysterious second brother had disappeared into the crowd again.
Things gradually got out of control, and Shopkeeper Lu began to beat drumsticks in his heart.
Although Hua Lianyue has been silent, her cold black eyes have gradually become brighter. Miss Lan'er appeared rashly at this time, it was like a long drought and rain for her, and it was really too timely for her to meet her old acquaintances in a foreign land.
There was a low and familiar laugh in her ears, and Liu Hui, who came to her side, whispered in her ear: "Yue'er, you have a good helper this time." ”
Hua Lianyue looked at him sideways, smiled, and said, "I'm afraid that after this matter is understood, the dignified and virtuous king will have a reputation for being stingy." ”
Liu Hui smiled, and he said slowly: "My reputation in the capital is not very good, as long as my wife doesn't dislike it, it doesn't hurt to have one more." ”
It was the first time for Liu Hui to laugh at her like this in front of people, and Hua Lianyue was a little surprised and a little uncomfortable. She shrunk her neck and whispered: "Don't be happy too early, I'm afraid that the magistrate's daughter has a bad eye, if there is any mistake, I'm afraid that I will be happy again." ”
Liu Hui smiled lightly again and said, "It's okay, I believe Yue'er will definitely come up with other ways to wash away the stigma for me." ”
Hua Lianyue glanced at him and said duplicitously: "I'm not worried about you, I'm worried about the Weng family, especially Uncle Weng." He's too old to withstand these tosses. ”
The corners of Feng Qi's eyes, who were following the two of them, twitched, compared to the solemnity of Lan'er opposite, the heart of the lady of the family was frightened, and the two masters of her own family were inevitably too calm. It's quite a bit of a joke and a sense of decisiveness.
Of course, knowing Hua Lianyue's identity and seeing Liu Hui's extraordinary bearing with his own eyes, many people around him have already guessed his identity, which has caused a lot of commotion. All kinds of inquiring eyes shot from all directions, some disdain, some curious, some admired, some doubted, and of course, more awe.
Lan'er also noticed Liu Hui's appearance, a wisp of indescribable complexity flashed on her soft face, and there was resentment and gloom in her eyes that could not be concealed. After just one glance, she lowered her head.
After thinking about it, she simply took off a smooth white jade bracelet on her wrist and said to the surrounding people: "These broken jade are warm jade bracelets of high quality, and this warm jade bracelet in my hand was purchased at Fengxiang Gold Shop three days ago, and it happened to cost a thousand taels of silver, everyone can take a look, is it the same." ”
The lady of the family only felt that her brain exploded, her face was blue and white, and she almost fainted.
With the comparison of the real thing, even a layman can see a few points of the doorway, and after the bracelet and the broken jade were passed through the hands of several people, they returned to Lan'er's hands. Everyone who saw it nodded, indicating that they had recognized the appraisal results of Shopkeeper Dou and Miss Lan'er.
Lan'er raised her chin and proudly cast her eyes on Hua Lianyue and Liu Hui, she bent her knees slightly, and said crisply: "King Xian has always been wise and fair, and he will definitely not blame the little girl for telling the truth!"
