Chapter 241: Plan (1)
"It's not all, the little girl was sweeping the yard outside, but she faintly heard a few words, and the cry of her uncle's wife. Seeing Saitama's disappointed expression, Magpie hurriedly said.
"Crying?" Saitama asked curiously.
"Yes, according to the little girl, she could hear her uncle's wife's crying, but when she came out later, she was very happy, and she talked and laughed with the Duchess. Magpie replied.
"What do you hear?" Li Yi asked as he walked out of it.
"Lord Shizi. Que'er saluted Li Yi, and Li Yi waved her hand, signaling her to speak quickly.
"It's something out of the cabinet, a dowry, and then my uncle's wife began to cry, and then she spoke in a much quieter voice, and she couldn't hear anything. ”
"Out of the pavilion?" Saitama and Li Yi glanced at each other, but they didn't know the point.
"Oh, by the way, I said that I heard my uncle say what Mrs. Shizi said, means. ”
Saitama couldn't help but smile when she heard this,
"I don't know if the lady of the prince in the mouth of the eldest aunt is me, if she wants her to evaluate me like this, she can look down on me like this. ”
"That's it?" Li Yi asked Que'er again.
"Yes, the slave is incompetent and asks these questions. ”
"Very well, you go down first. Que'er listened to Li Yi's words, blessed Li Yi and Saitama, and retreated and left the main room.
The husband and wife sat down at the table together, thinking carefully about what Magpie had just said. Li Yi picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea for his wife, and put it in front of her, but Saitama didn't notice it.
"I see. Saitama said suddenly.
"What?" Li Yi was startled by his wife's brainless words, and almost spilled the tea.
"Out of the pavilion, it should be Miss Chang of the Pingyang Hou family, whose name is Sister Yuan. The last time I went back to my parents' house, I heard my grandmother and eldest aunt talk about what had happened in Beijing recently, as if I mentioned that the eldest lady of the Pingyang Hou Mansion was given to Jiang Ningbo's eldest son, and suddenly I couldn't remember it. ”
"So Mrs. Pingyang Hou came here for the dowry. Li Yi said thoughtfully.
"Last time, the noble concubine also said that the sons and daughters of the Pingyang Hou family are almost at the age of marriage, how can I forget this stubble. Saitama said.
"No wonder I cried and laughed, naturally I deceived my aunt with a bitter trick. And then get what you want. ”
"The dignified Pingyang Marquis Mansion has come here!"
"Among the nobles now, many of them are bright on the surface, but they are hollowed out on the inside. If the children don't fight, they will only eat their old books. Can it hold up there?"
"When we entered Beijing, we stopped at the Pingyang Marquis Mansion for a few days, and it looked pretty good. There are flocks of slaves, clothed and fed. ”
"That's just that the appearance of the family is still on the surface, and I don't know how to tear down the east wall and make up the west wall. But Yu'er, I'm afraid this is a good opportunity for us. can let the eldest aunt hand over the power of the family. Li Yi touched his chin, looked at Saitama and said with a smile in his eyes.
"But we don't know what the eldest aunt gave her, how can we find out?
"I guess they won't be satisfied with just a little jewelry or something, this kind of thing is very common as an aunt's gift to her niece, and it is not at all that Mrs. Pingyang Hou came to visit her aunt. Li Yi immediately denied Saitama's statement.
"Yes. But what could it be?" Saitama cupped her cheeks, staring blankly at the dancing candle flame in front of her.
"Yu'er, your dowry list is not there, if you are, let me see it. Li Yi said suddenly.
"What are you doing here?" Saitama asked, but she immediately realized what Li Yi was going to do. So he got up and prepared to get it.
"Is there something good hidden that I don't know?" Li Yi quipped with a smile.
"yes, there's a lot of hiding. Saitama replied, and then couldn't help laughing, and then went outside and shouted to Qiushuang to open the box and get something.
After a while, Autumn Frost came in, took out Saitama's dowry list, and then went out. Looking at Qiushuang's back, Li Yi suddenly remembered something and said to Saitama:
"Yu'er, Zhang Bao, who is with me, is not too young, and it is time to get married. Your girl should be released, see which one is suitable to say to Zhang Bao. ”
"The reason why Zhang Bao followed me back then. is also because he likes Qiu Yan, but who knew that Qiu Yan had something like that, so he delayed it. Saitama mentioned that Qiu Yan was a little gloomy, and she grew up together. I can't resist the temptation like that.
"I asked Zhang Bao over there, and there should be no problem. And I think he's very good, and I'll let him go out and exercise when I have the chance. You first see which girls on your side are old, and if you want to let them out, you must find a good one. ”
Saitama knew that what Li Yi said about going out to exercise was actually to promote Zhang Bao to his official career, which was indeed a good choice. But now the girl next to me is the age of Qiushuang, but it is inevitable that there will be no pimples in Qiushuang's heart when things happened back then. Thinking of this, she said:
"I'm here for autumn frost. But I don't know if she's willing, I'll ask her tomorrow. ”
"It's fine. Li Yi nodded, and the list in Saitama's hand looked up. It is divided into several categories, first of all, all kinds of utensils, living utensils, then cloth, brocade quilts, and then down are forty clothes and jewelry, and finally is the grange and cash silver for the bridal.
"Is this list almost the same for everyone?" asked Li Yi.
"It should be basically the same, but the quantity and things are different, and some should be given to the daughter in private, not written on the dowry list. ”
"What is it that is not usually written on the list?"
"It's not necessarily some silver, some jewelry, or a grange or a house. It's like my grandmother gave me two of her original dowry Zhuangzi and a few very expensive sets of heads. These are not written on the list, for fear that other sisters will not see it well. ”
Li Yi put the list on the table and looked at it carefully. Saitama knew he was thinking about something, so she sat quietly and didn't bother him.
"Their appetites are too big!" Li Yi said, patting the table. Saitama was taken aback,
"What's wrong?"
"If my guess is correct, it's unlikely that they want Zhuangzi or silver. Because neither of these things can be given as gifts. And both of these things are inconspicuous, and it is easy to carry a silver ticket or title deed. ”
"Then it could be a house. Saitama added.
"Well, that's good. ”
"But even if the eldest aunt really has to give away the Zhuangzi or the mansion in the house, we have no excuse to investigate. Saitama sighed.
"There's no need to worry about that, if it's really these two things, they'll have to change it in the yamen, so just keep an eye on that side. As for the silver, I'll have to talk to the butler. ”
"Then I can sit back and wait for your good news. Saitama said with a smile. (To be continued.) )
