Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Dark Tide Floats
"Whoever takes a step forward will carry my body back!"
The iron-black kitchen knife was clinging to Bai Jing's neck, a bloody red dazzling eye, Luo Qi walked out from behind He Ziyong, she was never a greenhouse flower that needed to be shielded from the wind and rain, and she would not continue to compromise after touching the bottom line, but she was reluctant to be cared for with tenderness.
"Qi Niang, the money was taken by your mother, and now that the family is divided, it is obviously ......"
"I'm sorry, Aunt He, I'm his only relative......" Luo Qi looked at He Ziyong apologetically, "I can't let go." β
"I'm not going to let go."
He Ziyong smiled, like a green rainbow, glooming all beings, and she was alone.
"Go back and tell the seventh prince of SΓΉqu, I will definitely give him an answer within three days."
Sun Er hurriedly agreed, and pulled the Li matchmaker who still wanted to speak, and hurriedly left, Li Matchmaker didn't know Zhao Qiniang's violent temper, he could inquire about the past clearly, and he was not afraid of 10,000.
In case of......
Where is he compensating a Zhao Qiniang to the seventh master, but when he turned the corner, he stopped his hurried footsteps and looked for the two younger brothers, "You two, keep an eye on me here, don't let her run away." β
Among the people who watched the excitement, there were also two people who left quietly, one went home and set up a car and hurriedly went out, and the other walked out slowly with the burden of selling groceries in the streets and alleys, and saw the two minions of the Qu family boringly occupying half of the road, and he also greeted politely, "Second master, do you need to take a look." β
"Let's go, don't delay your business here."
"Let's go."
The north wind was howling, and the grocery man walked all the way to Xizhimen, and when he arrived near a big house, he was so cold that he straightened his hands, looked left and right, and found a leeward place to put down his burden and rest, warm and warm, and one came to the porter immediately, "Hurry up, don't open your eyes to see where this is!" β
Where is this? Xizhimen Zhao Mansion.
"It's so cold that I can't walk!" The grocery man gave up his hand again and again, "Qu Qilang came to rob the relatives, and the seventh lady seemed to have signed the marriage contract without knowing it, Mrs. Jia...... It is possible that she has already taken the dowry and ran, but now, the seventh lady has made a three-day appointment with the Qu family for the sake of Xiao Langjun, and there are two people watching ......"
"Don't talk nonsense, get out of here!"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
The grocery man reluctantly took the burden and left, and within two steps he heard a voice with an official accent, and looked back, heh, acquaintance, Master Liu.
"This little brother, I am Judefeng's buddy, this is the pastry set by the six ladies of your mansion."
The grocery man narrowed his eyes and motioned to the porter, "Master Liu." β
The porter took a bite of the grocer angrily, turned around and walked a few steps quickly to take the pastry box, "The sixth lady, give it to me, I will send it in." β
"Three monkeys, I told you to take the lead again."
The other porters smacked at him with a smile, the three monkeys were nicknamed, and his name was Chen Sanyu, "When you get a reward, you have to take a leg ride." β
"Go, go."
The Zhao family's house, from the outside, looks like an ordinary mansion, but inside it is the Jiangnan style of the nine-song corridor, turning around, Sanyu went to Mrs. Zhao's yard, and there was a woman who only listened to the light and laughed among the gossips at the entrance of the courtyard, and saw Sanyu coming, "Isn't this Sanyu, what are you holding in your hand?" β
Sanyu scratched his head embarrassedly, wanted to speak and stopped, and finally lay on the mother-in-law's ear and said a few words, and the mother-in-law burst out laughing, "You monkey also has a brain, give it to me." β
Sanyu hurriedly handed over the cake box to the mother-in-law like a hot potato, hehe smiled and ran away, how could there be a posture on the gate, and the mother-in-law came up to see, "The monkey grabbed the errand and forgot which lady it was halfway, but there were a lot of eyes, so I simply sent it to the old lady, and asked me to say, on time, I thought about the tender face of the new daughter-in-law, and the soul flew." β
The others laughed and laughed, and the mother-in-law entered the courtyard with a smile on the cake box, and called the little maid to come out with a treasure bottle.
The treasure bottle listened to the whisper of the mother-in-law, nodded lightly, but when the mother-in-law was about to go out, she was pulled by the treasure bottle, and quietly stuffed a bag of sugar cakes, "Mother, relieve boredom and eat in your spare time." β
Sandalwood beat the legs of Mrs. Zhao who was napping for a while, and saw the treasure bottle come in with a box of cakes, "Judefeng's pastries, which lady is filial to the old lady?" β
The vase shook his head slightly, "No, the minions on the door have a bad memory, and they forgot which lady ordered them halfway, so they sent us here." β
Sandalwood's eyes widened suddenly, her eyes dripping on the box, and she suddenly clapped her hands, startling the vase, "Look at my memory, it should be the sixth lady, I met her in the garden yesterday and told the little girl that the cakes of osmanthus in Judefeng are fragrant and glutinous, which are better than those elsewhere." β
Hearing this, the vase opened the box a little, and sure enough, the aroma of osmanthus cake came to the nostrils.
Sandalwood volunteered and carried the box to send it to the sixth lady.
As soon as she left with her front feet, Mrs. Zhao, who was taking a nap inside, opened her eyes slightly, and the treasure bottle hurriedly stepped forward to serve, "Where's Sandalwood?" β
"Back to the old lady, Sandalwood went to deliver Judefeng's pastries to the sixth lady."
Mrs. Zhao frowned when she heard this, and the treasure bottle took a cushion for her to lean on, "I came back at noon today, and the people at the mouth of the alley Jia and a man really went to the Qu family, and Luo Zi near the Seventh Lady's house came to deliver the letter, and the Qu family took the marriage contract and the gift list that the Jia family took to grab the Seventh Lady." β
"Hmph, although my Zhao family is Gao Pan's Qu family, but he has a concubine to marry my Zhao family's concubine, and he also marries a concubine, so he is not satisfied?!"
"I don't know the origin of the Seventh Lady."
"Where is Jia now?"
"Out of the city, our people have been following."
"Didn't bring Juro?"
The treasure bottle shook her head, and there was a trace of fierceness in Mrs. Zhao's eyes, "The two have already split the household, and the Qu family gave the money to the Jia family, so you can not recognize it, this stupid woman who doesn't know whether she is alive or dead!" β
The treasure bottle poured water and gave it to Mrs. Zhao, "The seventh lady is benevolent, admit it, and protect Xiao Langjun for three days, only saying that there will be an explanation to the Qu family after three days." β
"It's still a kind and righteous, it's just that, what means can she have in those three days," Mrs. Zhao instructed the treasure bottle to change her clothes and comb her hair, "I'd better go to Qu's house in person, by the way, do you have an eyebrow for the matter you investigated?" β
"With a little bit, the eyeliner said that I saw Master Liu go a few times recently."
"Master Liu, the person in front of Old Lady Jia?"
"Yes, the door says that he is now Judefeng's job."
"Judefeng? Wait, what did you say Sandalwood was for? β
"Back to the old lady, Sandalwood went to deliver Judefeng's pastries to the sixth lady."
"How did they get together, and where did the pastry come from?"
The vase said truthfully, it was Sanyu on the door who felt that Master Liu was suspicious, so he sent the pastries given to the sixth lady to the old lady's yard, Sandalwood asked, she only did not know who, but Sandalwood knew it clearly, and took the errand and sent it over.
"Are you suspicious ......?"
"Back then, sandalwood was given to Mrs. Jia as soon as she entered the house, and then she was favored by the old lady, so she stayed with us, these years, she is diligent and a good looker, never partial to help hands and feet are clean, only to get up close, and now ......"
The treasure bottle glanced at Old Lady Zhao, and Old Lady Zhao sneered.
"Okay, raise and raise, but there is a group of white-eyed wolves around me! can pretend to be calculated, please be obedient, this will be one more person who eats inside and out, eighty percent of this will be the sixth already knows about Qu Qi, you send someone, just say that it is my meaning, let the sixth honestly copy the scriptures at home, and you are not allowed to go anywhere! β
"Yes."
The more Mrs. Zhao thought about it, the more angry she became, so she simply became ruthless, "Call Aunt Cui to come and go to Qufu with me." β
