Chapter 72: The City
This girl is suspicious of him!
The moment he realized this, a strong anger surged in Lu Jingyuan's heart. The anger was almost turned into substance, and Ah Yao was so frightened that she subconsciously trembled before the case. Fortunately, he was no longer the young and vigorous little marquis who was eighteen years old in his previous life, and when he realized his fear, his distress gradually swelled up, his anger faded and his reason returned, and he strangely rose a trace of relief.
This girl can be regarded as a long-term snack eye.
For a while, he had a kind of relief that my family had a girl who had just grown up. How rare it is, the stupid girl who saved him by the lotus pond with a rabbit lamp ten years ago, and who was still kept in the dark by people until death in her previous life, finally learned to guard against people.
"Because you're stupid." It's not stupid, don't guard against others, but guard against him.
What a word! Ah Yao wrinkled her nose in displeasure, clenched her fists and plucked up her courage to ask, "Brother Jing, have you lied ......?"
Before the next few words could be spoken, a carrier pigeon flew in from outside the window with fluttering wings and landed on the table between the two. Lu Jingyuan took out the note on the leg of the carrier pigeon, which was clearly written, Shen Moci had succeeded, and was now going out of the city to meet King Ping.
Although King Ping is as his name suggests, everything is mediocre, but the Emperor Taishang is not as weak as he imagined. On this trip to Qingcheng, he also sent enough manpower. Now that the money has been obtained, the other party will definitely do his best at the last moment. With the secret guards he brought alone, he probably couldn't handle it.
"Silly girl, don't be cranky." Getting up, he casually rubbed the buds on her head: "I have something to do and I have to go first, Lu Ping will send you back." ”
After saying that, he waited for a while, saw that she was still in a daze, and finally rubbed the buds, the corners of the dark clothes flew, and he turned to leave.
Waiting for people to disappear at the door, Ah Yao reacted: "But I haven't asked yet......
Although she wanted to believe Brother Jing's words, judging from the results of the fundraising banquet, Daddy donated a full 1.5 million taels because of her, but the Hu family didn't get anything, which was exactly the same as Qingshuang guessed. Qingshuang said at the time, who in Qingcheng doesn't know that the master loves the girl the most, and some things are more effective for helping the girl than helping the master.
This is the point she is most confused about.
Originally, she was going to ask, but she didn't know where to say this. I wanted to lead it over there slowly, but before she could ask, Brother Jing had something to do.
Now that everyone is gone, it's no fun for her to stay any longer. Just as Lu Ping set up the carriage and came over, she got into the carriage with the only remaining doubts, and before she had gone far, she heard the names of Daddy and Shen Jinshan. After stopping the car and asking Lu Ping to understand, she who was going to go back to the Hu family changed her direction and also came to the door of the Shen family.
There are already a lot of people in front of the Shen family, three layers inside and three layers outside. Ah Yao, who was far away, got off the carriage, and when she saw her people consciously leaning to the side, they all went inside and walked inside, and she saw Ah Yao standing in front of the Shen family.
It was the cold of spring, and the sky was still cloudy near noon, and there was a cold wind blowing from time to time. Hu Jiuling's figure is not fat, and he is not dressed thickly in order to participate in the roast whole sheep banquet, which will shake on his body with the wind blowing the brocade robe, and he looks very thin. Seeing this scene, A-Yao couldn't help but feel distressed.
"Daddy, why are you standing like this?"
After speaking, A-Yao looked at the Shen family's concierge angrily, but blamed Hu Jiuling in her mouth: "Even if the Shen family doesn't invite you to come in to sit and drink hot tea, isn't there a carriage here, you just go in and wait." Wearing such a thin and standing outside, what should I do if I get cold? ”
Being chattered endlessly by his beloved daughter, Hu Jiuling couldn't have forgotten how comfortable he was.
"This ...... It's not that I'm afraid that someone will misunderstand. ”
"What misunderstanding?"
"Some people say that your Uncle Shen sold his ancestral property, and Daddy happened to be idle, so why don't you come down and explain a few times." Hu Jiuling said with a good temper.
"It's not what Daddy said, besides, the Shen family ...... last time" Ah Yao pouted, her face full of reluctance: "Daddy, my daughter also knows that you are doing the right thing." But you are also old, and the cold wind is still blowing here on a cold day, so how worried your daughter will be if she is sick. Fortunately, my daughter has an extra piece of your big coat on the carriage, so I'll go and get it, and you can put it on quickly. ”
"It's Daddy who is not good, Ah Yao, don't be angry, Daddy will go with you." Hu Jiuling apologized again and again, and followed behind his beloved daughter step by step.
The people next to him consciously gave way to them, and when they passed by, Hu Jiuling gave up his hand again and again: "This girl is also in a hurry, so everyone laughs." ”
Who present couldn't see the strong family affection between father and daughter, and besides, the girl of the Hu family didn't say anything too excessive, eight out of ten sentences from beginning to end were concerned about Daddy's body, and the remaining two sentences said that the Shen family was not good-
Obviously it is in debt, and the creditor is waiting at the door in the cold weather, and he is not invited in to drink hot tea, which is indeed rude. Master Hu was treated slowly by this, and when they misunderstood the Shen family, he also spoke out to help explain. Compared with the Shen family girl who framed the Hu family girl several times before, this move is another heaven and an earth.
According to their thoughts, the Hu family girl was right. The Shen family has framed him several times, but Master Hu doesn't care, and no one picks out the slightest bit of wrong.
"Master Hu, your girl is so filial, even if she is in a hurry, it is because she is worried about you."
"That is, it is not only filial piety to live well. The girl gave you this long face as a father, and you are not happy. ”
I don't know who took the lead, and the crowd praised Ah Yao. As far as Hu Jiuling is concerned, others praise Ayao more than he praises himself. Meaning to endure it, I really couldn't help it, a smile bloomed on his face, and his movements when he arched his hands to both sides were more sincere than Fang Cai.
"Everybody's overrated."
It was also the first time that A-Yao had been praised by so many people, and all kinds of praise came, she lowered her head embarrassedly, and the blush on her face almost stained her neck. The shyness of this little daughter made the big girls and daughters-in-law on the side even more enthusiastic.
In the end, it was the Shen family couple who rescued the father and daughter, and as Shen Jinshan walked towards the door, the head of the Shen family, who had been under the pressure of everyone, breathed a sigh of relief and was busy opening the door.
The door was pushed open, and the heavy sound of the door shaft was heard, which successfully attracted everyone's attention. And Hu Jiuling, who has a big fetish, was also helped by Ayao to the crowd.
"Brother Laohu has been waiting for a long time, it's not that Shen is deliberately delaying, but that something happened at home."
After speaking, Shen Jinshan stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Brother Hu doesn't know, the silk reeling shop in the south of the city in the deed book is the marriage of the wife of Shen's family. ”
Dowry? Following Shen Jinshan's words, Ah Yao looked at Mrs. Shen Sun next to her. In her past and present lives, this Shen family woman has always lived like a symbol. Only when she is needed to worship Buddha, worship ancestors, feast guests, etc., will she dress up and maintain a mask-like face in front of people. The only close contact between the two was in front of Daddy Ling in her previous life, when she brought Shen Moci to worship and still maintained that perennial face. It was only when she passed by her that she suddenly had a hint of compassion and pity in her countenance, and said, "Poor child. ”
There were too many people who came at that time, and too many people told her this, and she didn't pay much attention to it. The reason why I can remember it is because Shen Moci's tone was too sincere and the words he said were too heartwarming.
Thinking about it carefully now, when Sun said that, it seemed that she was Song Qinwen on her left and Shen Moci on her right, and when she said this, she was moved to cry on Shen Moci's shoulder. It seemed to be said to her, but what Sun saw in his eyes was Shen and Song.
Maybe she already knew something by then?
No, isn't it perhaps, as the sect wife of the Shen family, the actual supreme controller of the entire back house, Shen Moci's actions can hide from her eyes?
Sun knew and foresaw her future end, but at that time she chose to remain silent.
Hate!
She hated Sun's indifference, but intellectually she also understood that it was not related to her, and this matter was beneficial to the Shen family, and Sun had no reason to help her. Only a few people can kill their relatives in righteousness, and most people will not help when they can help their relatives, so what the Sun family did in his previous life is not a big mistake.
But now? Ah Yao looked at Sun with a pleading look on his face in front of him.
"That silk reeling shop was indeed the dowry given by the Sun family to the concubine back then. In a hurry, the old man didn't see it clearly, so he signed the deed. The concubine has also discussed with the old man, and wants to exchange another shop for this one, I don't know if Master Hu can make it convenient, and the Shen family can use other shops to exchange. ”
Hu Jiuling hesitated: "Hu didn't know about the trivial matters in the Shen family's house, and he didn't know in advance that this was a wife's marriage." The reason why I chose this one is because it is close to another shop of my Hu family, and after taking it, it can become a ...... by opening the fence."
This world dowry is a woman's confidence, and even the gong bucket must be prepared together when the rich family marries, which means that my girl has not eaten your family from head to toe in her life, and she married her husband's family to take care of housework for you to have children, that is a merit, you have to respect her and protect her.
Shen Jinshan's temperament Ayao also faintly heard about it, and he counted Pixiu, but he only went in and couldn't leave. Now the Sun's shop has filled the hole, and he won't return it after that. When there is no shop harvest, the Sun family's days in the Shen family's back house can be imagined.
In his previous life, for the benefit of the Shen family, the Sun family chose to watch from the sidelines. This will damage her own interests, so she will have to be merciful to the Hu family, and even give up the plans she has already made to accommodate her, how can there be such a cheap thing in this world!
Thinking of this, Ah Yao raised her head, looked at the Sun family who was pleading hard, and said with a smile: "Madam is in charge of the middle feed, the Shen family's back house is well organized, and the people who come out every time they worship the Buddha are extremely generous, and they have always governed the family well." ”
What does that mean? didn't understand A-Yao's intentions, and praised her, Sun could only nod: "It's just according to the family rules, a little snack is enough, the girl is too famous." ”
Just admit it, Ah Yao's words changed: "Madame is so hearted, I don't know if you have noticed what Shen Moci did before?" ”
This...... Sun had a faint premonition in his heart, and just wanted to say something, but Hu Jiuling was even faster than her.
"It was about the reputation of the Hu family before, and Mrs. chose to turn a blind eye. Now that I have an accident with the marriage shop, I want my Hu family to be that benevolent family. This kind of strictness and leniency towards oneself is really the same as Brother Shen! The deed has already been drawn, and since Brother Shen decided at that time, there is no reason to change it at this moment. ”
