Yang Nianci flicked his tongue lightly: "Or, let's discuss how to make my uncle get promoted and make a fortune more than my father?" ”

Uncle Yu's heart was even colder, and he didn't speak with a wooden face.

Yang Nianci just said: "Then kill Shangshu first and let my uncle ascend." Kill the autumn phase again, and fill it in with my uncle. Again..."

Old Man Yu hurriedly stopped her, and if she continued, she would be rebellious.

Uncle Yu wiped his face: "Uncle will work hard." Suddenly, I understood my son's bitter feelings of being forced to test Tanhua.

Aunt Yu looks funny, it's good to have a daughter, look at the girl and say something, doesn't this man take it to heart?

"Xi'er, what do you want to do now? You can't spoil those things. ”

"Of course." Yang Nianci rolled his eyes and said with a sly smile: "I have a way now, sooner rather than later." I also need my aunt and uncle to cooperate..."

After listening to Yang Nianci's plan, the Yu family nodded.

"It's too cheap for the Liu family, if you dare to reach out, you should let her be ruined."

Yang Nianci smiled: "The Liu family is just relying on my father to be so rampant. If my father protects her, she will be infamous and able to live a good life in the house. But if my father gets tired of her, her sky will fall. Therefore, the outsider's argument does not work for the woman in the house, and it is better to start from the root. ”

The point is that the Liu family is ruined, and Daddy Duan's reputation is also damaged, right? I have to rely on my father to eat.

The nurse interjected: "It's still too cheap for her, how did she treat Miss in the past?" This incident came out, and Xiangye would at most ban her feet. ”

Yang Nianci smiled again: "Losing people's hearts is more useful than cutting off her feet." You'll see what my death-hungry father does with her. ”

After a pause, he said, "She has been grinding me for so many years, how can I let her go easily?" This is the beginning, wait and take your time. ”

Although the Liu family didn't do it directly, but drove the original owner who was about to give birth out of the house, didn't he have the idea of killing her? The original owner really died on the side of the road, and the Liu family had already owed people's lives. If you use someone else's body, you have to take this cause and effect and avenge the original owner.

Yang Nianci hated and grinded his teeth: "If she hadn't treated me harshly, how could I grow so short?" There is a maid in the yard who is taller than me! ”

This is really sad and unsettled!

The four of them wanted to comfort her, girl, your height is not bad, and besides, your mother is also at this height, but no one spoke, anyway, Liu's body is not bad for this crime.

The next day, Duan Xiang rested. Uncle Yu's aunt and uncle Yu came to visit with gifts for the first time.

Duan Xiang was surprised but politely invited the two into the outer study, and sent someone to invite Liu to accompany Aunt Yu to the backyard.

Uncle Yu hurriedly said, "No need, we have something urgent." After the matter is done, I have to rush to the Marquis of Wuning's mansion. ”

Duan Xiang waved his hand to make people retreat, and said with a smile: "I haven't congratulated yet, Hong'er has been married by the saint, which is really a blessing." Another day, I will come to the door in person to congratulate you. ”

"No, no, no."

People on both sides know that this is a kind word, and it cannot be taken seriously.

Uncle Yu was puzzled: "Actually, our coming this time is also related to Hong'er's marriage. This one... That one... We're really embarrassed..."

Duan Xiang was surprised, and leaned forward slightly: "Ziyan, if you have something to say, I will definitely help if I can." ”

The girl is so close to the outside, she doesn't look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, and she has to have a better attitude.

Uncle Yu still couldn't speak, so he glanced at Aunt Yu.

Aunt Yu smiled and said, "That's right. Although it is the highest honor to have a decree of marriage, we think that it is better to give the children of the Marquis of Wuning a good object as a token, which is also a respect for others, isn't it? ”

Duan Xiang nodded, the Yu family's poems and books are heirlooms, and they are polite, which is normal.

Aunt Yu said again: "The old man also attaches importance to this family, and he personally went to the warehouse to check for a long time and didn't pick out what he wanted." ”

Duan Xiang thought, don't you want the Prime Minister to help find a suitable object? No, the Yu family is also quite wealthy, and the dowry of the second lady was a sensation back then.

Aunt Yu was also embarrassed, took out a piece of jade pendant, put it on the table, and motioned for Duan Xiang to look at it.

Duan Xiang was slightly stunned: "This piece of rose jade is of high quality, the carving is exquisite, and the meaning is good, which is quite suitable." However, it would be better if it was a pair. ”

Seeing that he was completely impressed, the two sighed slightly in their hearts.

"That's what Xiang Ye said. This jade pendant originally had a pair, and the fish tail could be combined into a full circle on the left and right. This pair of roses was given to the Yu family by the emperor when he was there, and it has a great background. We think that the Yang family is the Hou Mansion, and the daughter of the Yang family is the county lord, so it is very suitable to use this gift..."

Duan Xiang nodded.

"But-" Aunt Yu smiled embarrassedly: "When the little sister married into the Prime Minister's Mansion, the old lady gave one of them to the little sister as a dowry, and left one for me to pass on to the eldest daughter-in-law from generation to generation." So..."

Duan Xiang suddenly smiled: "It's here to get another one, right?" ”

Uncle Yu had never done anything to give someone something and then ask for it back, his face was slightly red, and he hurriedly pushed over a box and opened the lid.

"It's a pair of ivory cups inlaid with jade, and it's a gift. We didn't take it back for nothing, we exchanged it for this. In terms of meaning and value, it's not bad..."

Duan Xiang smiled, putting aside the holidays of the two families, this brother-in-law is still a very good person, upright and honest.

"Take it back, take it back, I should have given a congratulatory gift, so I wore it with that rose. Don't see it like that. ”

Uncle Yu was serious: "This is not good. That's my sister's private property, and you, my husband, and my own brother, have no right to use it. ”

Duan Xiang choked, Geng Zhi really hated it.

Aunt Yu abducted her husband and smiled: "It is said that we should look for Xi'er for this matter, but Xi'er only remembers the events of the past year, so we came to find Xiangye, don't blame it." ”

Duan Xiang was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that now the dowry should be the third daughter's, and he forgot about it, and he will send it to the paradise when he turns around.

Duan Xiangxiang explained: "It's like that. Xi'er's husband often goes out to run errands, and there is no place to settle, and their marriage is in a hurry. The lady's dowry has been sealed in the treasury and has not been used. Even the income from the Grange shop is also accounted for separately..."

Uncle Yu hurriedly said, "We didn't ask about this. You are father and daughter, as long as we see that our children are doing well, we will be relieved. ”

Duan Xiang also knew what the Yu family was like, so he turned his head with a smile and said, "It's just that the dowry was sealed at the beginning, and we watched it lock together." I have a key here, a key at Xi'er's, and a ...

Aunt Yu hurriedly said: "When we came, the old man asked us to bring it." As he spoke, he took out a delicate copper key and placed it on the table.

Duan Xiang nodded: "Wait a minute." ”

His key was in the inner room of the outer study, but it was Xi'er's one...

He came out and frowned and thought, Xi'er was too young back then, and the key was directly handed over to the nurse. Later, the nurse was sent to the northwest, and she must not have carried many things with her, and the key must have been left for Xi'er. But later, when Xi'er was kicked out of the house, she found out clearly, she didn't have anything with her, and she didn't even have the yard back, so the key must have been left in the house. When I went to the garden, the house was empty, and the maids and maids were all transferred, and the key...

Duan Xiang raised his leg and entered the main courtyard.

"What about the key to the treasury where the second lady kept her dowry? Xi'er's handful is here, take it out quickly. ”

The smile on Liu's face froze, and he asked carefully, "It's been so long?" I can't remember the concubine..."

While motioning for everyone in the house to go out.

Duan Xiang and the others went out before they snorted, "You don't know? It's been less than a year since you left the house, right? Where did the things in Xi'er's house go? It's not like you, the housewife, don't know anything, right? ”

Liu instinctively didn't want to admit it, but looking at his cold gaze, he didn't dare to say it.

Duan Xiang said again: "When the dowry was sealed, I remember that you were also present. Later, I gave you the key to take care of it, and I told you about it. You don't remember anything? ”

Liu pretended to be reminiscent, and suddenly said, "Master, the concubine has remembered." He turned around and took out a copper key from the room, which was the same as Uncle Yu's, which was Duan Yingxi's.

Duan Xiang stretched out his hand to take it and walked out.

Liu hurriedly followed: "Master, what are you going to do?" Isn't Miss Three living at home well? "Don't give her a dowry.

Duan Xiang didn't look back and said, "I'll go to the outer courtyard, you can stay here." ”

After Duan Xiang left, Liu was restless and restless. The maid who had gone to the front yard to inquire after a while came back.

"The uncle and aunt of the Yu family are here, and they are in the study."

Liu Shi was startled, waved her out, bit her lip and thought for a moment, and immediately put away a few things inside and outside the house, and checked them carefully a few times before sitting down in a trance.

Duan Xiang led Uncle Yu and Aunt Yu to a small flower hall next to the warehouse, handed over the three keys to the big housekeeper, and showed him the appearance of Uncle Yu's roses, asked him to open the warehouse to get things, and talked with the two of them.

After a while, the big housekeeper came back, he couldn't see anything on his face, and he leaned into Duan Xiang's ear and said something.

Duan Xiang nodded calmly.

Uncle Yu asked, "What's wrong?" Isn't it a jade pendant..."

Duan Xiang smiled: "It's nothing. The warehouse has not been opened for a long time, there is more dust inside, and things are miscellaneous, and it can't be found for a while, so it takes some effort. I think let's let the kitchen prepare the banquet first, and let's have a drink. I still want to hear Ziyan talk about what I have seen and heard over the years. ”

Uncle Yu sneered in his heart, dust? Clutter? Back then, it was a neat and neat lock that was lifted and lifted, and I wanted to stay to see how the surname Duan dragged it.

Aunt Yu pulled him and said, "In this way, I was tired of the Xiangye, and I found someone to send to the Yu Mansion." We have a lot of things to do today, and we have to go to the Marquis of Wuning's mansion, so we won't bother. ”

Duan Xiang nodded: "Definitely." ”

The two of them took their leave, leaving the ivory cup behind.

Duan Xiangxiang saw that the person had left the house, his face sank violently, and he followed the chief housekeeper into the warehouse.

It is true that there is dust, but it is only a thin layer.

The chief butler was a little drumming in his heart and led Duan Xiang inside.

"Back then, the second lady's dowry was small and the purpose was excessive, and the dowry list was also reconciled several times. When these things are put in, they are small and look at the people's work, and they know which ones are placed and where. Can... The quantity is wrong, some things can't be found..."

Duan Xiang's face became heavier and heavier, and he followed the big butler to the innermost.

The chief butler pointed to a screen placed against the wall, which was in the style of rosewood inlaid with jade to paint mountains and rivers.

The big butler walked to the side of the screen, "The old slave remembered that this screen should be against the north wall, why did it move to this side?" Come and see, good guys, back..."

The butler stopped talking.

Duan Xiang leaned over to take a look, okay, a big hole was wide and wide and was covered by the screen.
