While Tonks was discussing the chips, Qu Ning had no time to think about it - there were too many things and too little time for her.

Xu was worried that there would be some more moths on Tang Dashuai's side, and under the urging of Tang Shaoshuai, Miss Tang Er's marriage was almost advancing at a speed of light.

And the most serious consequence of squeezing the cumbersome matters to be completed in a short period of time is that Mrs. Tang Shao, the person who handled it, completely felt that she was a non-wedding party, and she was tossed as if she had lost a lot of weight.

When Tang Shaoshuai came back this day, she was leaning on the edge of the bed and looking at the dowry list sent by Mrs. Geng, seeing him return home, she beckoned to him affectionately: "Sincerely, I have received a dowry list from Lu Yuan today, I see, he is going home in order to marry his wife, this is like tossing all the family funds, he is a young man, although one person eats enough for the whole family is not hungry, but this dowry, you come to see, is it really too thick?" I pondered, the dowry that the second aunt prepared for the second sister may not be able to hold it down, right? ”

She has been busy these days, and although the two of them still have Dunlun as usual, the number of times is sparse compared to when they were newly married.

Sometimes knowing that she is working hard and knowing that she is tired, Tang finally does not want to continue to toss her, after all, a husband and wife, such a little tolerance and tacit understanding, there should always be. Today, I saw her smiling like a flower waving to him on the side of the bed, although she was still muttering another man's name in her mouth, which was a bit of an obstruction, but Tang Shaoshuai still walked over quietly, picked up the list in her hand and glanced at it.

"If you want to marry my sister, you have to be a little sincere." Qu Ning was stunned and listened to this thing say this plainly, looking very reasonable, as if what he said was not a dowry that could hollow out all Lu Yuan's savings and make the family four walls, but a piece of plain paper that could not be taken out lightly.

She was amused by his reaction, and was stunned for a moment before saying: "In the end, it is better to marry two surnames, not to sell our second sister to others as a child daughter-in-law, people like ours have to talk about their contacts after all." You are pushing two, five or six, to put it simply, this second aunt and grandmother don't know how to worry, if the dowry goes out when the time comes, I'm afraid that the second sister's face will not look good. ”

Lu Yuan's dowry was generous, one shows that he cares about this marriage, and second, I am afraid that he also has the intention of expressing his stance to others.

Qu Ning didn't understand this.

But now seeing that Lu Yuan is about to go bankrupt in order to marry a daughter-in-law, Qu Ning is worried: But if she wants to say that she, a sister-in-law, adds makeup to a sister-in-law, and gives too much, she herself has to feel distressed, and it is unreasonable to say it.

It's just that the second aunt is on her side, I'm afraid she really can't get so much dowry...... After all, everything on the list, it can be seen that they are all the trophies accumulated by Lu Yuan in his military career over the years, and there are a few priceless antiques and treasures, which can withstand the formation, and are worthy of the identity of the young marshal's sister.

But the dowry ...... Relatively, it makes people embarrassed.

Tang Shaoshuai glanced at her, and when he saw the faint sadness on her face, his heart moved, thinking that she had been extremely busy these days, and now she had to rack her brains for his relatives, so she couldn't bear to sell Guan Zi anymore, and rarely didn't tease her, but directly comforted her and said: "Don't worry, when my mother was alive, in her original dowry, every girl was shared." The few who passed away are naturally not needed, the third sister is specially set aside, this number is small, the second sister can also divide more, the second aunt and grandmother should have their own preparations, and when the time comes, it should be almost the same. ”

Qu Ning was stunned, and when he looked up at Tang Shaoshuai, he couldn't hide his surprise: "You mean, my mother-in-law, who didn't have the fate to meet, also left a dowry for the second sister?" ”

Such a generous mother-in-law shows two things: one is that her control over the backyard makes her not worry about her aunt and concubines turning the sky upside down, and the other is that it also proves from the side that what the second lady said is true, when Mrs. Tang was still alive, they did honor her and respect her. But in this way, the possibility of the murderer she guessed has greatly increased.

Tang Shaoshuai didn't know what she was thinking, so he just nodded: "Although I haven't seen the specifics, she is not stingy according to her mother's consistent style of doing things." What's more, with her mother's background, her own dowry is extraordinarily rich, even if it leaks a little bit between her fingers, now that she takes it out, it is enough to support the scene for her second sister. ”

Qu Ning let out a low "hmm", but his heart jumped more and more: Do you want to ask? Should I say it directly?

Is it really good to directly uncover the wounds in his heart with such a sad past?

After a while, she still didn't ask the doubts that came to her mouth, but looked at his handsome side face with a smile and said, "Sincerely, then take me to see what good things my mother-in-law left to my second sister, right?" It also opened my eyes. ”

Tang Zhong nodded: "But the things are not in my hands, during the uprising, those antique title deeds and the like, for the sake of insurance, were left in the old mansion for safekeeping." Later, our family moved into Kyoto with the army, and the old steward of the old house waited for us to settle down before entering Beijing along the waterway and canal. He is old, and he has been living with his son for a long time last year, but those things are in his care all the year round, and some calligraphy and painting antiques have special custody requirements, so they continue to be under his main supervision. Now that the second sister's marriage has been decided, it is time to go to him and ask for this thing. ”

Qu Ning bowed her head slightly, and suddenly remembered something: "Then when the eldest sister got married, did she also have such a share?" ”

"The eldest sister married early," Tang finally replied, "when her mother died, her marriage had already been decided, and then Re Xiaoli hurriedly married out, and it was given to her during her mother's illness as a dowry." ”

Qu Ning somehow "chuckled" in her heart, and frowned vaguely.

But she didn't say anything at the time, just smiled and said something gossipy, diverting the topic.

***

Young Marshal Tang naturally meant what he said, and on the second day, he took her to find the old housekeeper who was now living in the Zhuangzi with his son.

That Zhuangzi is on the outskirts of Kyoto, but it is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and it is indeed a good place to retire.

The old housekeeper's surname was Wang, and it was noon when they found this place, and the old man, who was almost sixty years old, went down to the field with his son, and it was not until the neighbors went to look for him that the two of them hurried back.

Just seeing Tang Shaoshuai and them appear, the old housekeeper seemed calm, but in Qu Ning's deliberately more attentive eyes, she still felt that under his seemingly calm expression, there was a fear that could not be concealed.

Tang Shaoshuai was straightforward and refreshing, and a few people sat down and said a few words of gossip, so he went straight to the point: "Lao Wang, the marriage of the second sister is now decided, I remember that my mother left some dowry for her back then, so you can open the box for us today and take out those few things." ”

The housekeeper's surname was Wang, and he almost instantly held his breath, like a statue.

At this moment, even Tang Shaoshuai realized that something was wrong, his sharp knife-like gaze scratched the old butler's gray hair slightly, and then added: "Lao Wang, so many years have passed, and many years of war and turmoil have been displaced, and I know that it is impossible to say that there is no leakage and a lot of things." You have been working in our Tang family for so many years, even for the sake of so many years of affection, I will try my best to complete the friendship between our master and servant. ”

For him, this is already a very rare softness and tactfulness: this is a kind of guarantee, as long as there are not many mistakes and omissions on the surface, if you are really greedy and have one or two less things, I Tang Shaoshuai is in charge, just when you have worked hard for so many years, just erase it.

But even when Tang Shaoshuai said so, Qu Ning watched the old butler's breath stagnate, and his face flashed with shame and despair alternately, but finally froze in numbness.

The old man bowed slightly, and Chrysanthemum's face was full of smiles: "Young marshal, what did you say, the old servant was the most trustworthy lady back then, if you lose one and a half pieces, then you can't afford to be Mrs. This trust!" It's just that now that I think about it, each of those old things has been repeatedly played and touched by the lady herself, and each one is full of memories, even if I know that it is passed on to the second lady, the old servant's heart is still uncomfortable......"

Young Marshal Tang also showed a little sigh on his face when he said something, and he nodded: "I know you are loyal." For so many years, I've suffered you. ”

The old man shook his head tremblingly, turned to his son and ordered, "Serve the young marshal and the lady well, I will go to the back hall to sort out those things, and I will come out in a while." He turned his head to Tang Shaoshuai and said, "Young Marshal, forgive the old servant for missing the company, you and the young lady will take them out for a while." ”

Young Marshal Tang nodded.

Old housekeeper Wang went to the back hall one by one.

Tang Shaoshuai and Qu Ning sat in the front hall, Qu Ning didn't know why, she always felt uneasy in her heart, and the look of the old servant flashed in front of her repeatedly, she thought about it and asked the sturdy middle-aged man: "Is your life in Zhuangzi very hard?" You and your father are the head of the village, and you have to go down to the ground yourself? ”

The middle-aged man was obviously honest, laughed and touched the back of his head with some embarrassment: "My father suffered a lot in his early years, and he couldn't stay idle at home, if he didn't go to the crops, he felt that the bones in his body would become brittle." Although the family is not bad for his father's food, but his old man has to go to the ground, and those of us who are sons of man can't stop him, right? ”

Qu Ning let out an "oh", and her brows frowned more and more.

They had been sitting in the front hall for more than a quarter of an hour, and a cup of tea had almost been drunk, but the old housekeeper Wang still hadn't come out.

Tang Shaoshuai suddenly thought of something, stood up suddenly, and just took a big step with his legs, he suddenly heard a sad scream from the back hall, but it was a woman's voice, and then there was a cry, almost instantly, the atmosphere in the hall changed.

Tang Shaoshuai and Qu Ning glanced at each other, both in each other's eyes, and saw a shock that could not be concealed.

Then he took her hand and walked almost trotting to the back hall, and hurried to the door of the back hall in three steps and two steps, and both of them stood there and paused: the door of the wing room in the back hall was wide open, and in the bright sunlight, it could be seen at a glance that on the beam in the center of the room, a swaying and thin body hung on the beam.

This person was talking to them just now, but only for a moment, only for a moment...... It was already so desolate, hanging on the beams of the house.

Qu Ning heard his voice dry, as if he had squeezed it out of nowhere: "Wang Lao, he ...... Dead ......"

The author has something to say: I strongly demand that there be a lot of messages every day...... Sauce purple I have the motivation to double the next day...... The tiger touches everyone.
