Chapter 613: Who Believes
Chifu, carved beams and painted buildings, Zhu Yongbi tile.
Walk all the way, but see the beautiful trees are verdant, the strange flowers are splendid, and a clear stream pours under the stone gap from the depths of the flowers and trees.
Pavilions and pavilions, rockeries.
The scenery is extremely beautiful, if it is not for the private seal of An Rongxin, it is estimated that you are in the mood to appreciate it.
The pool house is very large, and it took a while to get to the second gate.
The maid looked at Zhao Cheng in embarrassment.
The inner courtyard is mostly female dependents, and outsiders are not allowed to enter, so the maid tactfully asked Zhao Cheng to wait outside.
Zhao Cheng's face pulled the old man.
They want to protect An Rong every step of the way, now An Rong's burden has been robbed, this Chi family is a den of bandits, how dare they keep An Rong away from their sight?
"If you want to enter, you will enter together, and if you don't let you in, you will send the burden out," Zhao Cheng said in a cold voice.
The maid didn't hesitate, and was about to say that An Rong would wait a little longer, when she went to find Grandma Chi, when she heard the doorkeeper ask An Dao, "I've seen Grandma Da Shao." ”
Grandma Chi Da walked out, she looked at An Rong, and her eyes were slightly surprised.
To say that An Rong's appearance is very ordinary, and even her personal maid can't be compared.
If you want to talk about temperament, it is a kind of noble calmness that comes out of your bones, which makes people dare not underestimate it from the bottom of their hearts.
What's more important is the private seal hidden in the purse.
There are two things on the seal that people dare not ignore.
First of all, it is the name of the former emperor.
Although no one dared to shout the name of the former emperor, there were many people who knew about it.
The emperor has supreme rights.
No matter what dynasty or generation. When the emperor ascended the throne, he wanted to announce it to the world, so that everyone could know who their emperor's surname was.
What's more, knowing the emperor's name, if it is too heavy with the emperor, quickly change it.
is so domineering, who makes the family the emperor.
Chi Da young grandmother is full of poetry and books, how could she not know the name of the first emperor, she just saw the name of the first emperor, and she was frightened and at a loss.
It doesn't matter whose private seal it is. This seal was carved by the emperor himself. It is destined that the owner of this private seal is unusual.
Second, the private seal is engraved with the character Xiao.
Xiao Lao Guogong's name, she didn't know.
But she could guess that this private seal belonged to Xiao Lao Guogong.
Because in the entire Great Zhou, only Xiao Laoguo had the qualifications to let the emperor help him carve a private seal.
Now the Chi family has robbed Xiao Lao Guogong's things. It's good that Grandma Chi Shao doesn't faint.
Chi Shao's grandmother prayed. This private seal was stolen by An Rong.
But she knew. That's impossible.
Who has the guts to steal something from the Xiao Guo Mansion?
Who has the ability to steal from the Xiao Guo Mansion?
Even if An Rong has it, he stole it with great difficulty and was robbed by someone. Is it just that she should bring it back to the house first, and then come to pick it up?
She is a widow, does she have such a big face?
Yesterday, the third young master came back from Kyoto, and he didn't bring a gift to the fourth girl, saying that he was ready, but he was ruined when he was killed by the Xiao Guogong Mansion and the Dongyan assassins halfway.
The fourth girl didn't believe it, and said that the third young master was talking to her.
The third young master also swore, "I didn't lie to you, I don't believe you sent someone to inquire, if the eighth girl of Xiao Guogong's Mansion and the young grandmother of Xiao Guogong's Mansion were not kidnapped by the Dongyan people, I will let you punish you, and I will not frown." ”
Could it be that this unattractive maid is the young grandmother of Xiao Guogong's mansion?
If it's true, wasn't she kidnapped, how could she come back to Hecheng?
Could it be that I went to Yingcheng and accidentally went the wrong way?
Chi Da Shao's grandmother is unpredictable.
She didn't speak either.
But An Rong's face was ugly.
Her eyes were staring into the distance.
In the distance, a girl came over, she was graceful, graceful, and good-looking.
An Rong is not interested in her figure and appearance.
She looked at the clothes she was wearing.
It's her clothes!
And the headdress on her head, too!
Grandma Chi Da Shao's face was not very good, especially after she saw An Rong's face turned blue, it was even more unsightly.
She stepped forward and said, "Fourth sister, you quickly change your clothes and headdress." ”
The fourth girl Chi was unhappy, she didn't speak, and the maid who followed her spoke first, "Grandma Eldest and Young Grandma, this dress was specially found by the Third Young Master to make amends to the Fourth Girl, how could it be that the eldest aunt and grandmother snatched it back?" ”
If she can grab such a valuable thing casually, she will follow the crazy aunt and grandmother in the future, what else is she going to do?
After sneering, the maid glanced at An Rong a few more times and said, "You said that the clothes are hers, she is a maid, can she have such good clothes?" Could it be that it was stolen from somewhere? ”
The hat button was so slippery that it almost blurted out.
And the more I look at it, the more I feel that An Rong and a group of people are like thieves.
The maid's face was eager to shout to catch the thief, and the angry Zhao Cheng's fist creaked, as if he had crushed something with his empty hands.
The breeze was blowing, and a fallen leaf was on the clothes of Miss Chi Si.
She raised her hand and gently brushed it away, as if she was afraid that her clothes would be soiled by the fallen leaves, and patted it carefully.
Then the corners of his mouth rose, glanced at Grandma Chi, and said, "Sister-in-law, the eldest brother's bones are not cold, there are many distinguished guests in the house today, this is the inner courtyard, you bring a bunch of foreign men into the house, I am afraid it will cause criticism, it is better to avoid it." ”
This is a bit specious.
seems to be afraid that Zhao Cheng will collide with those noble ladies who came to Chifu as guests.
It's like saying that Chi Da Shao's grandmother is widowed, and she can't bear the loneliness of the boudoir, and she will do things that violate women's morals.
Chi Da Shao's grandmother's mouth was blue, her eyes were red, and she held the hand of the embroidered handkerchief and clasped it tightly.
The neatly built nails were embedded in the flesh, and I didn't know it.
An Rong stood there, looking at the smile on the corner of Miss Chi's mouth, and then at the unbearable but unbearable sadness of Grandma Chi, who was speechless and sympathetic.
In the name of being good for Grandma Chi, the fourth girl of Chi stabbed Grandma Chi twice in the heart.
An Rong thought that Grandma Chi Da would reveal her identity.
But Chi Da Shao's grandmother didn't. I saw her let go of her hand and said expressionlessly, "This matter, I have lost my sense of proportion, I will tell my wife and let my wife deal with it." ”
The fourth girl smiled, held her neck high, like a winning rooster, and left proudly.
When they were far away, Grandma Chi's maid said with red eyes. "Young grandma. They deceive people so much! ”
Grandma Chi Da Shao's nose was sour, she looked up at the sky, and laughed at herself, "People are under the eaves." Had to bow his head. ”
After speaking. Grandma Chi looked at An Rong. With a wry smile, he took out the purse hidden in his sleeve and handed it to An Rong.
An Rong was slightly surprised. She didn't expect that Grandma Chi Da carried her purse with her.
An Rong took the purse, and when he shook it gently, his heart relaxed.
Privately printed in a purse.
She raised her eyes to look at Grandma Chi.
Grandma Chi Da smiled at the corner of her mouth, smiled sadly, and apologized, "I originally wanted to invite you to my house, talk to you, and then return your purse to your ......." ”
An Rong held the purse and raised his eyebrows slightly.
This sounds like a rhythm that asks for her?
So what do you want to do with her now?
She could have taken the private seal to Mrs. Chi and the others, and let the Chi family know that she said those words to Miss Chi Si for the good of the Chi family, right?
Grandma Chi Da Young held the handkerchief and explained, "Before the husband passed away, in the Chi family, I can still speak, once the husband dies, the Chi family has no place for me, she is assured that I will take you to Mrs., because Mrs. will only stand on her side ......." ”
As she spoke, Grandma Chi choked up, "I can't help you." ”
She couldn't help An Rong, and she even knew what the consequences would be if she took An Rong to Mrs. Chi.
They'll be blasted out of the house.
She returned the private seal to An Rong because she wanted An Rong to protect herself.
Although she can also take it out, but after An Rong leaves, she helps outsiders suppress the Chi family, and her life will be even more difficult.
An Rong had some mixed feelings in his heart.
She was so generous and cheerful to give the burden to the aunt and grandmother of the Chi family, firstly, because she sympathized with her, and secondly, she was worried that she could not go directly to the Chi family to talk about business, so she could take this opportunity to come to the door.
If she talks about business in a proper manner, she has to go to the Chi family steward, and the steward will tell the Chi family master again, this time and again, I don't know how long it will be delayed, she has no time to delay.
An Rong didn't know that the things in the baggage were precious, and she could give them to the Chi family's aunt and grandmother casually, because she wanted to take the opportunity to tell the Chi family that she was not short of money, she was the big customer of the Chi family, and she had a bold temperament, and she didn't have to worry about character problems when doing business with her.
If you do business, don't you like a bold and generous guest like her?
Who would have thought that she would accidentally leave her private seal in her baggage?
She didn't expect that the Chi family would dare to take her burden!
Holding the purse, An Rong walked forward with Grandma Chi.
In the face of a group of unreasonable people, I don't know what will happen in a while.
Unless forced to do so, An Rong does not intend to show off the private seal of Xiao Lao Guogong.
I walked for about a quarter of an hour before I arrived at the main courtyard.
Then, An Rong was stopped again.
Grandma Chi Da left a maid to accompany An Rong, and then carried her skirt up the steps and entered the courtyard.
An Rong waited for a while before the maid came out, her face was contemptuous, and she said disdainfully, "I advise you to leave quickly if you don't want to die, if you can't blackmail, you still want to sue the Chi family?" ”
An Rong frowned, when did she want to sue the Chi family?
But in an instant, I understood that Mrs. Chi was meeting guests, and if Grandma Chi didn't say so, Mrs. Chi wouldn't see her at all.
The maid snorted heavily, then turned around.
An Rong stepped up the steps and followed.
Just after crossing the threshold of the main gate, I heard someone laugh and said, "Let you laugh, everyone knows about my aunt and grandmother, since I was taken back from leave, just to grab the burden, no less than 20 times, and I have been blackmailed more than once or twice, I am used to it." ”
Then, someone answered, "If the extortion fails, you have to sue the Chi family, such a person should be sent to the official for investigation, and when the time comes, parade through the streets to set an example." ”
“…… But I'm quite curious, who is so bold as to sue the Chi family? ”
In the room, there was a lot of discussion.
When An Rong approached, the maid said, "The burden that the eldest aunt and grandmother grabbed today is hers." ”
Before the maid's words fell, four or five luxuriously dressed ladies in the room swept An Rong up and down several times.
Mrs. Chi was taking a sip of tea, she looked dignified, after taking two sips of tea, she put down the teacup, wiped the corners of her mouth lightly, and then looked at An Rong with a smile and asked, "Are you not from Hecheng?" ”
An Rong shook his head, "No." ”
Several noble ladies suddenly smiled.
No wonder, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, if they are from Hecheng, how many people have the courage to come to the Chi family to shout?
Xu heard that the Chi family was rich, and he happened to rob them of their burden, so he wanted to take the opportunity to make a fortune, right?
Mrs. Chi looked at An Rong and said, "Whose maid are you in the house?" ”
An Rong didn't speak, Zhao Chengcheng said, "It doesn't matter who we are, we are just here to retrieve our burden." ”
Before Zhao Cheng's words fell, outside the door, a maid led four or five servants in.
After the little guys came in, they greeted An in a proper manner, and then said, "I don't know what Mrs. has to tell us to come here?" ”
Mrs. Chi frowned and said, "Have you seen the burden that my aunt and grandmother snatched, what is inside?" ”
The little servant hurriedly replied, "I've seen that there are some ordinary clothes inside, and a few taels of silver." ”
A few of the other guys nodded in agreement.
With An Rong and Zhao Cheng's clothes, it is reasonable to have these in their baggage.
After the third young master of Chi gave the clothes and jewelry to Miss Chi Si, Miss Chi couldn't wait to wear them on her body, saying that it was for Mrs. Chi's eyes, but in fact, it was for several noble ladies to see.
The garment, made of excellent material, they had never seen it before.
Mrs. Chi was deliberate and asked casually, how much is this dress.
The fourth girl Chi smiled embarrassedly, "The third brother said that this dress cost him 20,000 taels, and he is about to become poor, so he wants me to borrow her a few thousand taels of silver, mother, is the third brother fooling me?" Is this garment so expensive? ”
20,000 taels, I bought a dress and headdress, and the luxury made a few noble ladies speechless.
Listening to the little girl reversing black and white, Grandma Chi lowered her head, not daring to look at An Rong.
An Rong also knew her difficulties, so he didn't force her to testify.
An Rong looked at Mrs. Chi and said with a smile, "The Chi family is a horse breeder family in Da Zhou, and it is the richest man in Hecheng, but I didn't expect it to be a bully!" ”
Before An Rong's words fell, Mrs. Chi slapped the table heavily.
"What a sharp-toothed, bold maid! When I first came to Hecheng, I dared to bully my Chi family, and said that my Chi family was a bully! Mrs. Chi's voice was extremely cold.
An Rong smiled, "Isn't it?" ”
As he spoke, An Rong pointed to a few small servants standing in the room and said with a smile, "They are the descendants of the Chi family, may they be on my side?" They said that my baggage was just some ordinary things, and I said that the clothes worn by Miss Chi Si were in my baggage, and you concluded that my words were false, so why should theirs be true, and what evidence is there? ”
Mrs. Chi's face turned blue when she was asked, and she smiled, "Fortunately, there are so many people present today, otherwise if it spreads, it will not make outsiders think that my Chi family is really bullying?" ”
As she spoke, Mrs. Chi glanced at a noble lady on the side and said with a smile, "Mrs. Zhao, the prefect is handling the case fairly, you must have heard and learned a lot, otherwise, can you help me try this burden case today?" ”
Mrs. Zhao didn't speak, and a noble lady on the side smiled and said, "Do you still need to be judged?" A maid can buy tens of thousands of taels of clothes and headdresses, who will believe it? ”
An Rong was speechless when she heard this, she rolled her eyes and said, "When the emperor also had a private visit to Weifu, he was not the emperor because he didn't wear a dragon robe?" ”
