Chapter 3 Twists and Turns
Speaking of which, the first twist and turn that Su Wanqing encountered when she married into the Yiwang Mansion was the dowry.
Although it was nothing compared to what she had endured, it still kept her heart pounding for a while.
She has lived under the protection of her relatives since she was a child, where has she seen swords and swords, let alone on the day she got married?
In her previous life, before she got married, I don't know what happened, some bandits heard that there were many peerless treasures in her dowry, and they were afraid that the Taiwei Mansion was heavily guarded, so they took risks and secretly set up an ambush on her way to get married.
Although the people in the Taiwei Mansion are not incompetent, those people only took some bits and pieces from the makeup in the end, but the swords offset each other, and someone was inevitably injured after all, so that her auspicious day was red, which made the Su family lose face and became a laughing stock in the circle of the Kyoto ministers......
That past is obviously not good for Su Wanqing, and she also understands that she must not let the past repeat itself, but how should she crack it this time?
Su Wanqing thought of this, she didn't feel sleepy, so she held back and thought about it alone, and in silence, her fingers knocked on the tea lid without a match, making a "click" and "click" sound.
In my memory, the incident on the day of marriage happened in full view of everyone, and the identity of the person who came was indeed a bandit in the suburbs of Beijing, and no one suspected it elsewhere at the beginning. Even the people sent by her father, Mrs. Su, to track down only found out that the robbers had listened to the gossip from the outside and were not instructed by others.
But Su Wanqing has gone through all kinds of things in her previous life, and now it is naturally not difficult to see who is making trouble behind this.
It's just that she thought that she couldn't find out the truth in her previous life, because the robbers had an unknown relationship with the Shen family, and they didn't tell the truth.
Yes, since those robbers will send people to test the truth tonight, it is enough to show that they don't believe much in the source of this news, and they are not angry with the Shen family.
Thinking of this, Su Wanqing's eyes flashed slightly, revealing a chuckle.
It was dawning soon.
Because of the events at night, the people of the Taiwei Mansion did not sleep very well in the second half of the night, and as soon as the sky was bright, they got up one after another, after all, the marriage of the young lady in the mansion was approaching, and they still had a lot of things to do.
Su Wanqing heard the movement outside, subconsciously looked at the sky outside, and said loudly: "What time is it?" ”
Hongfu's gentle voice came from outside: "Miss Huiyu, it's three o'clock." ”
Su Wanqing exhaled, sat up and said, "Let's get up." ”
"Yes." After pushing the door, Ying Sheng walked into a few maidservants with water basins and tea cups, Hongfu and Biwu followed in, saluted, and the two stepped forward to change Su Wanqing's clothes.
"Hongfu, you will go around the house in a while and report to me the inventory of the belongings of each courtyard." Su Wanqing instructed while straightening her sleeves.
"Yes."
There was only a silent sound of grooming in the room.
Su Wanqing saw that the two of them were quiet and a little abnormal, so she looked over suspiciously, facing Hongfu's expression of wanting to speak and stopping, while Bi Wu pursed her lips with a hint of displeasure on her face.
"What's wrong with you?"
Bi Wu pursed her mouth, glanced at Hongfu, and glanced out of the door again, "Miss, Bai Ai beside Madame is here." ”
As soon as the words fell, the maids who were waiting next to them all held their breath one by one, and became cautious, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little strange.
Su Wanqing looked at everyone's reactions, and frowned slightly.
The lady in Biwu's mouth is Su Wanqing's stepmother, it has been six years since she entered the house, and everyone in the house knows it, Su Wanqing is extremely displeased with her stepmother in her heart, and she gets along lightly, and almost never gives a smile.
Su Wanqing has lived such a few years without pain, and now she looks at the maids who are afraid that the gods will fight and the little ghosts will suffer, but she suddenly feels a little remorseful.
Su Wanqing pondered for a moment and said lightly: "Let her in." ”
Bi Wu answered, and led Bai Ai, who was waiting outside, into the house, and when the maidservants saw someone entering, they all looked at their noses and noses, and they didn't even dare to raise their eyes.
Bai Ai was obviously accustomed to this kind of atmosphere, and stepped forward to salute generously, and said with concern: "Miss, are you in good spirits today?" ”
After Su Wanqing woke up from the third watch, she didn't sleep again, her spirit was not much better, she only nodded, "Shang Ke, you came over early in the morning, did your mother have any instructions?" ”
Bai Ai glanced at Su Wanqing's expression and explained: "Madame heard that someone broke into the mansion last night, and she was worried that Miss was frightened, so she sent a slave and maid over to take a look. ”
Bi Wu smiled, didn't wait for her master to answer, and said meaningfully: "Sister Bai Ai is very loyal to Madame, I'm afraid I have long forgotten who the old master was." ”
When Bai Ai heard this, his face turned white in an instant.
The reason why Bi Wu said this is because Bai Ai is not the maid who married in with this steproom, she and Hongfu are both granddaughters of Mama Zhuang next to Su Wanqing's biological mother, after Su Wanqing's stepmother entered the house, Mama Zhuang returned to her hometown, leaving only the two of them, the older Bai Ai was by the side of the steproom, and the young Hongfu was serving by Su Wanqing's side.
Strictly speaking, Su Wanqing's biological mother can also be regarded as their old master, but the two sisters have a rather ambiguous attitude towards this stepfamily, especially Bai Ai, almost to the point of obeying her words.
And Biwu has taken her young lady's likes and dislikes as likes and dislikes since she was a child, and Hongfu doesn't like to put her beak in this matter on weekdays, and the two are always in one place and have a deep relationship, but she looks down on Bai Ai, who speaks for the steproom everywhere.
Not to mention Biwu, it was Su Wanqing in the past, and she didn't have no opinion on Bai Ai.
Bai Ai's face turned red and white for a while, and finally squeezed out a smile, wanting to deal with the embarrassing scene.
Unexpectedly, Su Wanqing suddenly opened her mouth at this time and said to Bai Ai: "Well, I know my mother's kindness." ”
Everyone was more or less surprised, Bi Wu was also stunned, and glanced at her own young lady in surprise, and then looked at her disapproving gaze, and she didn't dare to answer.
After Bai Ai was stunned for a moment, she was obviously a little overjoyed, looked at Su Wanqing and replied several times "Yes", paused and said: "The slave almost forgot, the lady told the slave and the maid to wait for the young lady to get up, please come over, there are still some matters that the young lady needs to decide." ”
Su Wanqing nodded and simply responded.
It was rare for everyone to see her so gentle to the people around her steproom, until Bai Ai retreated from the house, Bi Wu did not come back to her senses, and Hongfu was also a little confused by the transformation of her own young lady.
However, Su Wanqing was a little absent-minded after Bai Ai left, and the words that Bi Wu wanted to ask came to her mouth, but she still swallowed it.
After freshening up, Su Wanqing had some breakfast under the service of the maidservant, and then went out of the courtyard to the main courtyard.
