91. Yan Chasan (11)

Since the night visit to Liufu, Zhao Hu was left in Liufu as a son-in-law of Liufu on the surface and a hostage in secret, while Zhang Long was brought back to the inn by Zhanzhao and Bai Yutang, who were also wearing night clothes, to help Zhao Hu and Zhang Luo get married and married.

As for the reason why Yu Xiaoyu didn't see Zhang Long early in the morning, it was actually because Zhang Long was kicked out by Bai Yutang early, looking for a matchmaker, buying a dowry, and preparing to propose to Liufu and other matters; It was precisely because of Zhang Long preparing these things that Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang could deal with Yan Chasan's matter in the Xiangfu County lobby with peace of mind.

Zhang Long, who had already prepared a qiΔ“, was anxiously circling around the inn, and when he saw Yu Xiaoyu, Zhanzhao, and Bai Yutang coming back, he hurriedly greeted him.

Zhan Zhao was very satisfied with the things that Zhang Long had purchased. Although the relationship between Zhao Hu and the second lady of the Liu family can already be said to be certain; But this dowry was well arranged, and Zhao Hu's face also had brilliance.

Although Zhao Hu's matter was very sudden, after all, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu came to Xiangfu County on the order of Lord Bao to investigate the matter of Yan Chasan, so they should still send someone back to report the progress of this matter to Lord Bao first. Zhan Zhao told Zhang Long about what happened in the lobby of Xiangfu County today, and asked Zhang Long to rush back to Kaifeng Mansion as much as possible, and asked Lord Bao to decide whether to take Yan Chasan to Kaifeng Mansion for inquiry; As for himself, Yu Xiaoyu, and Bai Yutang, they stayed here to deal with Zhao Hu's affairs.

After Zhang Long left, Yu Xiaoyu, Zhanzhao and Bai Yutang took the Zheng family, the first matchmaker of Xiangfu County, invited by Zhang Long, to Liufu Mansion to propose marriage to Liu Qingcian, the second lady of the Liu family, on behalf of Zhao Hu.

"Xiao Yu," Zhan Zhao whispered to Xiao Yu, "Last night, we didn't identify ourselves to the Liu family. ”

Yu Xiaoyu blinked and nodded: "I understand what you mean." Don't worry, I'm not going to say it. ”

Although the distance from the inn to Liufu is not far, Yu Xiaoyu has talked with the matchmaker and knows some about the Liu family.

This old man Liu has not many heirs, but he is nearly fifty years old but only has two daughters: the second lady of Liufu Liu Qingcian who is about to marry Zhao Hu is a concubine, and her biological mother was a courtesan who has long since died; As for the eldest lady Liu Jincicada, she was born to Master Liu, Liu Hongyuan, and the Yan family. Gan died of illness three years ago; Only a month later, Master Liu married Feng Shi, the aunt of Feng Junheng, another wealthy man in Xiangfu County. This incident made the people of Xiangfu County see Liu Hong's unkindness clearly, and naturally they gradually stayed away from the Liu family. With such a father here, the marriage of the two young ladies of the Liu family has become a big problem. Recently, there have been rumors outside that the Liu family wants to marry the Feng family; But Miss Liu Er's matter is not easy to say. Therefore, when she heard that Yu Xiaoyu and others were going to propose a marriage to the second miss of Liufu, the matchmaker was sincerely happy for Miss Liu.

Along the way, the matchmaker kept saying good things about Miss Liu Er, hoping that Zhao Hu would be better to Miss Liu Er in the future; Yu Xiaoyu smiled and agreed, and praised Zhao Hu, and even Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang on the side covered their mouths and laughed. In the end, Mrs. Zheng was moved by Yu Xiaoyu's clever mouth, and actively persuaded Yu Xiaoyu to also embark on the road of matchmaker.

Maybe it was because Zhang Long's dowry was very decent, or maybe it was because Zhao Hu and others' "robber" status was terrifying, Yu Xiaoyu always felt that Master Liu looked at him with sympathy, but the marriage proposal went very smoothly, and Master Liu directly agreed to the marriage of Zhao Hu and Liu Qingcian, and did not appear in the difficult move that Yu Xiaoyu had imagined before.

What Yu Xiaoyu and others didn't expect was that the day of marriage was directly scheduled by Master Liu on the next day. After obtaining Zhao Hu's consent, Zhanzhao and the others simply stayed in Xiangfu County directly, and returned to Kaifeng after drinking Zhao Hu's wedding wine.

That night, Zhang Long came back again, and also brought Han Zhang and Xu Qing, and at the same time, also brought the order of Lord Bao: Zhang Long and others took Yan Chasan to Kaifeng Mansion to await trial the next day, and Zhao Hu stayed in Xiangfu County to complete the marriage.

In fact, the matter of bringing Yan Chasan from Xiangfu County to Kaifeng Mansion did not require Han Zhang and Xu Qing to come forward; After all, this small Xiangfu County has gathered two masters, Zhanzhao and Bai Yutang, plus Zhang Long, it is enough to bring Yan Chasan to Kaifeng safely. The main reason for Han Zhang and Xu Qing's trip was because Bai Yutang "kidnapped" Yu Xiaoyu; Of course, it is also to congratulate Zhao Hu on his upcoming marriage.

When Lu Fang learned that Bai Yutang had "kidnapped" Yu Xiaoyu, he almost fell on his back and fainted directly; Lu Fang was helpless and helpless against a Bai Yutang who made mistakes and never repented; Therefore, when he learned that Bai Yutang, Zhanzhao, and Yu Xiaoyu were all in Xiangfu County, he hurriedly asked Lord Bao for his life, and sent Han Zhang and Xu Qing to Xiangfu County at the same time.

The reason why Lu Fang let Han Zhang and Xu Qing come to Xiangfu County together is very simple, these two people have a better relationship with Bai Yutang, and it is easier to see Bai Yutang. Although Zhan Zhao and Yu Xiaoyu did not mean to blame Bai Yutang, with Bai Yutang's character, Lu Fang felt that it was more appropriate to send someone over to watch him.

As soon as Bai Yutang saw Han Zhang and Xu Qing, he knew the meaning of the two of them, so he couldn't help pouting, turned around and went back to the room without saying a word.

The next day, after Zhao Hu's wedding was held, Bai Yutang and others took Yan Chasan to Kaifeng Mansion; Zhao Hu will stay in Xiangfu County for three more days before returning to Kaifeng; Yu Xiaoyu, who was watched by Zhan Zhao at the banquet and did not get a drop of wine, was accompanied by Zhan Zhao because of leg pain in horseback riding, back pain in the car and other reasons, and slowly walked back to Kaifeng all the way.

"What," Zhan Zhao looked at Yu Xiaoyu and said with a smile: "Doesn't it hurt to walk on your feet?" ”

"It hurts." Yu Xiaoyu raised his eyebrows and raised a bright smile to Zhanzhao: "Otherwise, you will carry me on your back?" ”

"It's public," Zhanzhao said with a smile, "like what?" ”

"Isn't that the end," Yu Xiaoyu said stupidly: "Since you don't want to carry me on your back, I can only go back to Kaifeng on my legs." ”

"I said I wanted to hire a carriage, but you didn't want to."

"It's not that I'm stingy," Yu Xiaoyu quickly clarified: "I'd rather choose to walk than ride a horse or ride a car." Riding in the carriage, I didn't just have a sore foot, it hurt all over my body, as if I had taken apart all 206 bones in my body and reassembled them; As for horseback riding, I can't even think about it. Master Zhan, don't you know, on the way from Kaifeng Mansion to Xiangfu County, I was almost killed by Bai Yutang......"

Zhan Zhao remembered what Bai Yutang had said to him, and smiled softly: "Are you better now?" Is your stomach still upset? ”

"It's better." Yu Xiaoyu nodded: "However, my head is still dizzy." This time I lost a lot. ”

"You've already eaten Bai Yutang hard," Zhan Zhao looked at Yu Xiaoyu with a smile: "Isn't it enough?" ”

"Do you think this girl's delicate body," Yu Xiaoyu raised his eyebrows: "Is it a few small pieces of silver that can be sent away?" ”

"That's right," Zhan Zhao suddenly remembered the tacit understanding between Yu Xiaoyu and Bai Yutang at dinner that night: "What happened when I ate that night?" ”

"This," Yu Xiaoyu smiled and told Zhan Zhao about what happened when Bai Yutang went to Beijing.

"So that's the case," Zhanzhao nodded: "It seems that eating him for a meal is really too little." ”

"Yes," Yu Xiaoyu smiled very proudly: "You think so too, right!" ”

Yu Xiaoyu and Zhanzhao walked towards Kaifeng Mansion with a smile, and even the embarrassment that Yu Xiaoyu felt when he faced Zhanzhao after he woke up disappeared without a trace; And after Bai Yutang and the other four took Yan Cha to Kaifeng, they went back to Kaifeng Mansion directly.

Bai Yutang lowered his head, and after being taught a lesson by Lu Fang, he ran to Shiweitian under the intercession of Master Bao and Gongsun Ce to escape Lu Fang's continued nagging.

When Yu Xiaoyu and Zhanzhao returned to Kaifeng, it was already dark, and the two of them simply went home directly; And Mother Wu had already moved quickly to send Zhanzhao's things back to Yu Xiaoyu's room.

Yu Xiaoyu knew in his heart that after the events of that day, it made no difference whether Zhanzhao lived in the study or moved back to the room, so when he saw the things in the room, Yu Xiaoyu didn't say anything, just took out the clothes to change and went to the bath; By the time Yu Xiaoyu finished cleaning up and returned to the room again, the wine jug and side dishes had already been set up on the table in the room, and Zhan Zhao was sitting at the table, fiddling with the wine glass.

Yu Xiaoyu didn't even look at Zhanzhao, and walked directly to the bedside, and said secretly in his heart: "If you want to get me drunk, there is no door." ”

Zhan Zhao smiled and said, "Why don't you drink some?" ”

Yu Xiaoyu threw himself directly on the bed: "What kind of wine are you drinking on this big night?" ”

Early the next morning, Master Bao ascended to the court to try Yan Chasan's case.

In the face of the obsessive Yan Chasan, Master Bao was also very helpless.

"Yan Chasan," Master Bao said earnestly, "Do you know that your old mother is still waiting for you at home in high school, and you gave your life here, what do you let the old man do?" There is also Miss Naliufu, who almost gave her life because of this incident. You've been reading poetry since you were a child, how can you do such a foolish thing? ”

Hearing Master Bao mention his mother, Yan Chasan finally cried. In the end, he finally cried and said what he had been hiding so hard.

When Yan Chasan arrived at Liu's house wearing the outfit purchased by Bai Yutang, he was indeed warmly received by Master Liu; But Yan Chasan himself is an honest person, and he quickly told his actual situation; Of course, Liu Fu's attitude also changed sharply, not only placing him in the most corner of the guest room, but also giving him nothing.

Yan Chasan stayed in a remote corner to read; But Liu Jinchan learned from his sister Liu Qingchan that Master Liu was thinking of a way to get Yan Chasan to take the initiative to withdraw from her relatives and marry her to Feng Junheng, the nephew of her stepmother Feng.

Liu Jinchan had already seen Feng Junheng, and he had a very bad impression of him, and he didn't want to have anything to do with him at all, so he asked his maid Huan Xiuhong to send a note to Yan Chasan, asking him to meet in the garden that night, planning to give Yan Chasan his private silver taels, let him find another place to study, and wait until high school in the future, and then come to Liu's house to propose.

It's just that, by mistake, although the note was sent to Yan Chasan, he didn't have time to read it, and the note was lost; Later, I heard that that night, Liu Jinchan's personal maid Xiuhong died in the garden, and a fan belonging to Yan Chasan was left at the scene. In order to keep Liu Jinchan's reputation, Yan Chasan chose to admit the murder.

Later, Master Bao interrogated Liu Hong and others, and finally figured out everything. The murderer was Feng Junheng, the nephew of Liu Hong's stepwife.

It turned out that three years ago, after Feng married Liu Hong, he started the idea of Liu Jinchan, the only concubine of Master Liu-after all, as one of the richest people in Xiangfu County, Master Liu's property will naturally be inherited by Liu Jinchan in the future. So, on the one hand, Feng actively lobbied Master Liu to ruin the marriage between Liu Jinchan and Yan Chasan, and on the other hand, he actively matched Liu Jinchan and Feng Junheng. It's just that the result is very unsatisfactory: although Master Liu doesn't want this family business for a long time, he doesn't want to bear the reputation of ruining the marriage; As for Liu Jinchan, she couldn't wait to stay away from Feng Junheng, how could she give Feng Junheng any chance?

The matter dragged on until Yan Chasan came to Xiangfu County. Feng Junheng heard that Liu Jinchan's fiancΓ© had come to Xiangfu County, so he was naturally very worried: first, he was worried that the beautiful daughter-in-law who was already in his hands would fall into the hands of others, and second, he was worried that the property of the Liu family would fall into the hands of others. And these two points prompted him to take the initiative to find Yan Chasan, firstly, to see what kind of person Yan Chasan was, and secondly, he naturally wanted Yan Chasan to retreat.

Feng Junheng was shocked when he saw Yan Chasan, in terms of appearance and knowledge, Yan Chasan was above him; Compared with Yan Chasan, it seems that he has nothing left except money.

Unexpectedly, it was such a coincidence that Liu Jinciao's note would fall into Feng Junheng's hands; And when Feng Junheng saw Liu Jinchan's note, a feeling of a green hat rose from his heart. Without thinking, he stole the note, and took his fan from Yan Chasan's table.

In the evening, Feng Junheng went to Liu Jincicada's appointment instead of Yan Chasan. Originally, he planned to secretly take away Liujin Cicada's silver taels, and then find a way to let the active Yan Chasan leave, creating a false impression that Yan Chasan deceived Liujin Cicada's silver. It's just that he didn't expect that Liu Jincia didn't go to the garden that night, and her maid Xiuhong appeared in the garden. At the same time, Feng Junheng, who originally wanted to secretly take away the silver taels, was discovered by Yahuan Xiuhong. Feng Junheng simply strangled Xiuhong without making any mistakes, and threw Yan Chasan's fan in the garden to frame Yan Chasan.

Feng Junheng returned home in fear, but unexpectedly, the next day, he got the news that Yan Chasan had confessed. Feng Junheng secretly scolded Yan Chasan a few times in his heart, and then ran to Liu's house to offer his courtesy. It's just that I didn't expect that that night, Miss Liu hanged herself.

By the time Feng Junheng learned that Liu Jinchan was not dead and Liu Qingchan was married, Yan Chasan had already arrived in Kaifeng.

There was evidence that there were scratches on the hands of the murderer as evidenced by Yu Xiaoyu, and Feng Junheng had no choice but to admit his guilt.

Master Bao looked at Yan Chasan, and felt very helpless: although he cherished his talent, he always felt that his personality was a little worse.

"Liu Hong," Master Bao turned his head to Liu Hong: "You take Yan Chasan home and let him study with you for the exam." Regardless of whether he passes the exam or not, he needs to marry Miss Liu next year. Do you probably remember the words of this house? ”

Liu Hong hurriedly nodded yes and returned to Xiangfu County with Yan Chasan. And Zhao Hu took Liu Qingchan back to Kaifeng.

On the other hand, Yu Xiaoyu finally knew from Gongsun Ce who Lin Daiyu's fiancΓ© was. After being taken aback, Yu Xiaoyu secretly made up his mind that he must promote Lin Daiyu's marriage - just because although this family is extremely risky, it is not comparable to the Jia family.
