Chapter 262: The Old Couple
The spring breeze in the capital is always mixed with too much wind and sand. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Yu Lin had just raised his feet and ran out here, when suddenly a gust of wind blew, which made him lose his eyes.
He paused, raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, but heard the sound of his mother and sister talking in the wind.
"Your second uncle said that when we want it, when we will go and get it, when is my son going to take it?"
At this time, it was Cui's smiling voice, but Yu Xiaofei's answer made Yu Lin's heart tighten.
"Since the second uncle said so, it was better to be earlier. What you get in your hands is real? ”
Yu Xiaofei said so, it was nothing, but when she reached the end of her words, she laughed sadly, which made people vigilant for no reason.
How could Yu Lin not feel a tight heart? Doesn't he understand his own sister-in-law, the sister of a fellow mother?
He frowned, took back the steps he had taken, turned his heart around, and stood in place for a few breaths before slowly walking towards the Jinglian Garden.
When he arrived at Jinglian Garden, Cui's mother and daughter had already entered the house.
Yu Lin raised his hand to stop the little maid, and was about to step forward to report the momentum, staring at Cui's door for a while with complicated eyes, and then walked to the door lightly and stood there with his hands in his hands.
Yu Xiaofei's voice came out, and she said, "...... Mama Zhang is right, she is married to Bofu, and I am married to Houfu, although I am just Mrs. Shizi at the moment, but sooner or later it will be Mrs. Hou's! When the time comes, she will be inferior to me in front of my face?"
When she said this, she seemed to remember some side events, and her tone suddenly became indignant, and then she said: "After so many years of being pressed on her head, I can finally turn over! Hmph, when she gets married, I want to see what she uses to put on the dowry! If she comes to beg me, I don't mind lending her my set." ”
These words passed through the door and reached Yu Lin's ears, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day. He was surprised why his sister said such cruel words again, but Cui's words completely puzzled him.
"I don't want to think that all the time. It's good that she and your sisters have a match, and they are both married to meritorious families, so they can get along well in the future, and they can also take care of them. Let's just take her cage, and I'll lend her the one. It's always bad to get her to put this account on your head!"
Cui's Yin Yin comforted, but I heard Yu Lin's ears, what else didn't I understand?
His spiritual platform was clear and clear, but his body was a little unstable, and he almost knocked over the flower pot under the cloister.
There is a red and white camellia planted in the flower pot, how eye-catching it looks on weekdays, but today Yu Lin feels that the red and white are so dazzling.
His heart was turned upside down, and a sudden rising force pushed him, causing him to break into the house and expose the conspiracy of his mother and sister.
But somehow, the second uncle's earnest teachings rang in his ears, as if there was a divine power from heaven that controlled his heartfelt impulse.
Yu Lin stabilized his figure, turned around and returned to the center of the small courtyard, beckoned to the little maid, and said in a deep voice: "Go and inform me that I am coming." ”
The little girl was puzzled, but she blinked her eyes and saw that Yu Lin's face was sinking like water, and she didn't dare to ask any more, so she hurriedly went up to report.
Everything next was as usual, Yu Lin went to school to say hello to Cui's family, and said hello to Yu Xiaofei, as if he hadn't heard anything.
On the second day, Cui's went to Xifu Courtyard and told Cheng about the dowry box. I don't know if it was because of Yu Qingyang's instructions or what, Cheng agreed without hesitation. However, it is said that these cages were placed in the next place because they were newly painted over and over again, and they were not in the Yufu of Muyu Hutong.
When Cui Shi heard this, he thought that Cheng was unwilling and deliberately tried to obstruct it, but who knew that Cheng Shi continued: "When is my sister-in-law going to send someone to fetch it? ”
Cui Shi was quite surprised to see that Cheng Shi was not going around in circles with her, but hurriedly said: "Otherwise, tomorrow morning, tomorrow is a good day to relocate." ”
Cheng didn't say a word, smiled and nodded in response to her.
The next day, the Cui family sent Yan Zi's man Feng to follow the Zeng steward on Cheng's side to a small courtyard house under Cheng's name that was sandwiched between the wells of the Jingli market.
Guarding this courtyard are an old couple, both of whom are quite old, hunched over, deaf and dizzy.
When the old couple heard that the main family had sent someone to pick up the cage, they didn't have any questions, smiled and said a few auspicious words, and then took a few people to the east wing.
The old man guarding the courtyard also said: "My wife and I will have to wipe these cages in two days, otherwise the carvings will hide dust on them, and it will not look good!"
As he spoke, he unlocked the door, pushed the door open with a creak, and turned back to the man who came to Yu's house: "The cages are all in the house, let's carry them away!"
However, before he finished speaking, he heard the steward Zeng frown and said, "Uncle, are you not mistaken, what kind of cage is there here, how can you tease us?"
Hearing this, everyone craned their necks and looked into the house.
The east wing was empty, and sure enough, there was nothing.
"How is this possible? Right here!" the old man staggered, squinted and swept around the room, and suddenly shouted, "Oh my God, where have all the cages in this room?"
When the old woman heard this, she limped over to look at it, and after taking a look, she suddenly slipped under her feet, sat on the ground and howled: "Oh my God! Where did this thief come from?
Except for the old couple who were in charge and guarded the courtyard, the others were all people sent by the Cui family to carry the cage. Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that the cage was really lost?"
Someone asked, and someone ran to the other wings to look. They didn't have time to open the lock of the door, so they pierced the window paper and looked in, and when they looked down at the whole courtyard, there was a shadow of sixty cages.
Steward Feng under the Cui clan looked at Steward Zeng and the old couple with doubtful eyes, just because of the disagreements between the big house and the second room, he refused to believe it.
Is it true that the thief stole the cage? How could it be that such a big movement of stealing the cage did not alarm the old couple at all, and they didn't know it?!
But whether he believed it or not, the old couple did cry and scolded the thief, and the steward also looked frightened, glaring and saying: "It's terrible to lose the girl's cage, I have to go back and ask the second lady quickly!"
