Chapter 40: See you at the dagger

On the first day of the second month, the top and bottom of the Situ Mansion were shrouded in a strange atmosphere that could be said to be all grass and trees, and the housekeepers and servants in the inner courtyard and the housekeepers in the outer courtyard all worked up their spirits to comb the errands in their hands over and over again, for fear that an omission would damage the board of the eldest lady tomorrow's big happy event.

Mrs. Situ married her daughter for the first and only time in her life, so she was naturally very nervous, lest she miss something and make a joke if she didn't think about it. Holding the dowry list that Zhang has looked at hundreds of times, he carefully checked it one by one, "a pair of inlaid gold coral collars, a pair of golden phoenix sunrise hairpins, a pair of golden phoenix hairpins, a pair of golden hairpins with double luan longevity fruit, a pair of golden phoenix hairpins with pearls, a pair of white jade phoenix hairpins inlaid with Tian, a pair of phoenix hairpins with emerald silk, a pair of phoenix hairpins with emerald silver silk, a pair of red gold hairpins, a pair of red gold inlaid hairpins, a pair of jade hairpins, a pair of white jade hairpins, a pair of emerald hairpins with Wanfu Wanshou, a pair of emerald hairpins with double happiness Ruyi points, a pair of inlaid pearl hairpins, A pair of long hairpins inlaid with gemstones, jadeite white jade, emerald coral, pearl gemstones, agate, tortoiseshell, horn crystals, two pairs of hairpins, two pairs each......"

The Yang family, who was originally going to come to help, looked at the long list of dowries, and then looked at the jewels in the courtyard, and couldn't help but pantothenic acid: "Sister, you just save some effort, tomorrow your niece will be out of the cabinet, so much dowry, you are afraid that you can't order it until dark." "It's just a money-losing goods who has lost his appearance, is it worth such a dowry! Even if he uses the entire Situ Mansion as a dowry, Li Gongzi may not buy it.

If Mrs. Situ's temper is on weekdays, she will definitely turn against the Yang family, but now she doesn't have that idle time, and secondly, tomorrow is her daughter's big day, she can't be so verbose with this stupid woman! Mrs. Situ is buried in the dowry on the one wall and secretly depressed on the other side, if it weren't for the Wang family's incident back then, where would it be the turn of the Yang family to be her sister-in-law?

Seeing that Mrs. Situ didn't speak, the Yang family said more energetically, "In my opinion, there is a holy purpose, and I am afraid that the Li family will dare to treat my niece badly, and what I don't like is that there is no dowry, so the Li family will have to carry the niece into the door with eight sedan chairs......"

"That's enough!" Mrs. Situ couldn't listen anymore, and suddenly raised her head and stared at the Yang family with a pair of phoenix eyes, "How much dowry do we have to accompany our Situ family to marry their daughter, that's our family's business, don't bother your sister-in-law, it's not too late for you to work hard when Ah Xiu comes out of the pavilion." Saying that, he suddenly sneered twice, "With Ah Xiu's appearance, even if there is no dowry, my uncle will not mind!" What is the idea of the Yang family, Mrs. Situ is very clear, but her eldest brother saw that the prince had fallen, and the king of Wei was engaged to the granddaughter of the Duke of Yue, and the remaining sick and crooked King Qi was also married by the emperor, and he wanted him to learn from the Korean family to take his concubine to the king of Wei as a concubine, but he couldn't save face, and saw that the crown prince was out of play, so he hit the idea to his own house.

"Hmph! Dream!" Mrs. Situ was disdainful in her heart, not to mention that Duguxiu was a submissive little family, just because she was the daughter of the Yang family, she would never want to enter the door of Situ's house!

Yang was robbed by Mrs. Situ for a while, and his face was so ashamed that he was speechless, and he said angrily for a long time: "I was so kind that my sister was tired, so if you don't appreciate it, forget it, why bury me like this!

"Mrs. Gu!" Mama Jin beside Mrs. Situ saw that the two of them had a falling out, and wanted to chase them out to persuade the Yang family, but was stopped by Mrs. Situ, "Let her go, Mama don't pay attention to her." ”

Mama Jin is Mrs. Situ's nursing mother and her mother's companion, and she is still very decent in front of her master, and she can't help but teach her a lesson when she sees her like this. "Madame is really, no matter how bad Mrs. Gu is, it is your sister-in-law, and it is in our house, how can you be so unkind? Tomorrow, the eldest lady will be out of the cabinet, at this time, if she gets into trouble with you, won't it be a joke?"

Seeing that Mrs. Situ seemed to be loosened, Mama Jin made persistent efforts, "Although Mrs. and Grandpa Guo are brothers and sisters, they have been separated for all these years, and the Dugu family is not as good as the three wives and four concubines of the big families next to them. ”

Mrs. Situ thought for a long time, and finally took a deep breath and was about to ask Mama Jin to go to the Yang family to make amends for herself, but she saw her eldest maid Hanlan leading the housekeeper of Mingzhu Garden, Mother Xue, over with an anxious face.

Mrs. Situ's eyelids jumped inexplicably when she saw this posture, and there was a trace of panic in her voice, "What's going on over there in Mingzhu Garden?"

"Madam, Miss is gone!" Xue's mother was full of panic.

Although she had been mentally prepared, Mrs. Situ was still taken aback by this sudden news, and she couldn't care about Mother Xue's face, so she had a seizure on the spot. "It's not like you've been on an errand in the house for a day or two, why can't you even serve a master! I didn't hand over Mingzhu Garden to you to just watch a dead yard, you are the nurse of the young lady and take care of the young lady is the right thing!"

Mother Xue's face was red and she couldn't wait to find a hole to drill into, but Mama Jin couldn't stand up for her. "Madame, it's better to find Miss first, and wait for Miss to come back. "Mother Xue's daughter Su Yun was originally the eldest maid beside Mrs. Situ, and she was trained by Mama Jin to have a bit of friendship, besides, these days she is watching coldly, the eldest lady is a very ideal, the two grandmothers and Meng people who came out of the palace can't control her, let alone the honest and responsible Mother Xue?

Mrs. Situ took a deep breath and finally suppressed the anxiety and anger in her heart, and then glared at the cramped and restless Mother Xue and said, "What are you still stunned about! Hurry up and find it!" and then turned her head and instructed Han Landao: "You go and tell SΓΉ Bilian to ask her to look for her in the inner house, and then ask her to take all the people to look for people outside, remember to keep a low profile and not make a noise, if anyone dares to leak the news to me, wait for Ming'er's marriage to be tied up and sold to Lingnan immediately!"

Mrs. Situ was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, but Situ Ningbing was watching the show gracefully.

"The eldest brother is far away from the mountains, and the mountains and rivers are poor over there in Lingnan, you and my brother don't know when to see each other again, Hui ordered people to prepare a few cars of food and clothing, and the eldest brother took them together. The pale young man in the red robe and the golden crown looked at the haggard brother with a scruffy beard on the opposite side, and his tone was extremely sincere, and every word was full of brotherly affection. "It's all the younger brother who is useless, he can't suffer for the eldest brother and can't persuade his father to take back his fate, so he can only prepare these chats to express his heart. The more the young man spoke, the more sad he became, his voice was choked, his eyes were slightly red, and he almost wanted to cry, he was really guilty and sad to the extreme.

Yang Yi's eyes were also red, and he held his younger brother's hand and comforted: "Don't worry, eldest brother can take care of himself." It's you, who have been weak since you were a child, and now that you have escaped, Concubine De's mother and son will definitely not stop there. If the eldest brother is not there, you have to be cautious everywhere, if there is anything to discuss with the mother concubine, you must not fall into the way of the villain again! As for ......the eldest brother, he paused, and told word by word: "You don't care, first protect yourself and your mother, don't intercede for me in front of my father and the emperor, otherwise I will give that treacherous villain to take advantage of the loophole and frame you!"

The pale and fragile young man took a deep breath, forced the tears in his eyes back, and said Qi Qiran: "Don't worry, big brother, I will definitely be fine, as for you, you will obediently wait for death in Lingnan." The last sentence he said was very light and light, Yang Yi almost thought that he was hallucinating, he stared at the bewitching and beautiful young man with wide eyes and a smile on the corners of his mouth, as if he had seen a demon in hell!

"You..." Yang Yi trembled his lips, you couldn't say a whole sentence for a long time.

"Why are you so surprised?" Yang Yan smiled more and more enchantingly, taking it for granted, "There are no brothers in the heavenly family, haven't you heard of this sentence?"

"Why?!" Yang Yi was finally able to speak, he grabbed Yang Yan's shirt and roared hoarsely: "Just for the position of the crown prince? It is really so good to be the emperor? It is worth destroying your humanity one by one?" His eyes were full of despair, pain, and anger, like a lion that was seriously injured and struggling to die.

"Ahh

Yang Yi looked up suddenly, there was nothing but the light brown cedar roof, and he couldn't help but wonder if the heavens were taking pity on him.

Compared with his surprise, Yang Yan didn't even raise his eyelids, and said lightly: "Senior sister, have you seen enough drama? Don't freeze on it in this winter, come down and drink a glass of wine to warm up." ”

After Yang Yan said this, Yang Yi saw that the top plate above suddenly moved away, and a blue figure fell from the sky. With a jade dragon mask and a lazy smile, the woman in front of him was the one who made him grit his teeth with hatred!

"I haven't seen you for a long time, my brother is fine. As if he hadn't seen Yang Yi, Situ Ningbing sat down by himself after greeting Yang Yan, picked up the wine glass in front of Yang Yan, and jumped down with her to get the wine jug on the table and add wine to her.

"Well, good wine! is my favorite bamboo leaf green. Situ Ningbing drank it all, played with the jade empty wine glass, and said with a playful smile: "Senior brother knows that I am coming?"

Yang Yan picked the corner of his eyes and smiled more and more charmingly, "Speaking of which, my senior sister and my eldest brother are really deep hatreds, with your gentleman's temperament that is not too late to take revenge for ten years, you must come to gloat when he is unlucky." Besides..."He glanced at Yang Yi and said in a leisurely voice, "He has no shortage of your handwriting today." ”

"Senior brother, don't wronged me. Saying that he had wronged Situ Ningbing, he had a look on his face, "Yes, I did this, what can you do to me?" "I'm just cooperating with the acting and going through the motions. How can you compare to you, senior brother? Riding the wind, he effortlessly shoveled a thorn in the flesh in the eye, and also won a good reputation. ”
