448 Doubts
Shen Yan married into the Han family, at least, the Shen family did not have to be feared by the heroes from now on.
His gaze stayed on Wei Guogong's face for a long moment, seeing his openness, and then he stepped down the stone steps and said slowly: "Grandpa Guo's love for his son is really admirable. ”
Seeing that he finally spoke, Wei Guogong was also slightly relieved, and lowered his head and said, "I'm ashamed, I just did my duty as a father." ”
Shen Guanyu looked at the night sky: "Ziyan's love for his daughter is better than the heart of the grandfather of the country to protect his son." Even though the old man has been persuaded by Grandpa Guo, he doesn't dare to guarantee that he can be convinced. Han Shizi is also very good, and Grandpa Guo must also have worries about Mu Xiu in the forest from time to time? ”
Mu Xiu is in the forest, the wind will destroy it, there is a son who is too capable, and it is inevitable that he will be a father with mixed joys and sorrows.
Wei Guogong smiled when he heard this: "The meaning of the adults is understood, as long as the adults are also happy to see you and me form a good relationship between these two surnames, my wish is fulfilled." And if adults can look up and down and dogs, and say a few kind words in front of Brother Ziyan, it will be even better. Don't hide it from the adult, I have invited Zhuge Lao as a matchmaker, but I am worried about Brother Ziyan's attitude, so I have not come to the door yet. ”
Shen Guanyu sighed lightly, and slowly returned to his place and sat down.
Wei Guogong is right, even if Shen Yan does not have this relationship with Han Ji, the trouble of the Shen family will not be less, as for the matter of private meetings, in the face of the overall situation, he really can't stubbornly make a big fuss. In the end, Shen Yan never made a fuss like Shen Yi, on the contrary, what he was waiting for was the man's thoughtful and sincere courtship.
Anyway, compared to Shen Yi, although Shen Yan also made mistakes. It's good to make the house have a light on the face.
Let's just think he's eccentric. She deserves it too.
When Wei Guogong asked Shen Guanyu for relatives in Dongtai Temple, E's family accompanied Han Yun in the room to learn characters.
Now the atmosphere in the provinces has changed. The younger generation of children is not only required to read and break words, but also to be able to read a few volumes of poetry. This is everyone preparing for themselves. It is also the only way for the nobles to go to a certain time in the dynasty.
Han Yun has been coming to the main room more often under the teachings of Wei Guogong for a while, and the E family no longer dares to speak ill of him, but sometimes he is a little sad.
For example, now, even though he sits two feet away, he honestly buries his head in writing, and does not pretend to eat as he used to, nor does he come up with all kinds of ghost ideas to beg for exemption from schoolwork, so he seems to have grown up a lot in such a quiet way. It is clear that he is her son.
"Madam, Biluo is here."
She leaned on the soft couch and looked at Han Yun in a daze, when Qiluo walked in to wake her up.
She tilted her head, and Biluo came in with the account book.
After Mama Ning was sent to welcome guests, all the accounts and keys in her hands were handed over to Biluo.
"Madam, the slave and maid have been holding the account books to the utensils in the treasury these days, and have found something strange in some places."
Biluo took the account book to the table in front of her, turned one of the pages and said, "This is the dowry list of the wife." When the slave went to the warehouse with the book yesterday, she found that several items here were different from what was written on the list. For example, when the slave went to see this ancestral green jade unicorn, it was just an ordinary green jade unicorn. The size is also far less than the height of the single column, but at most only eight inches. ”
Biluo has always been a careful woman, if it wasn't for her young age. After the E family passed the door, he would not let Mama Ning take charge without thinking about it.
When Eshi heard this, he sat up a little: "Ordinary green jade? ”
Ordinary green jade is a big difference with emerald jadeite. What's more, the size is also very different.
The E family is a Hejian family, and the Han family did not lose capital when they were hired. The E family also gave her a lot of faces, and the one hundred and eight dowries were all genuine and high-quality, how could there be a situation where the number was not right?
However, it is very old, and there are very few opportunities to use these dowries after marrying into the Han family, so she can't remember the exactly. If you think about it again, it's just a jadeite, I'm afraid that there are people who have forgotten to register when they have been sent out as favors over the years.
"What else," she asked. ”
Biluo said: "There is also a pair of Dongzhu, which is written on the top of half an inch for the diameter, when the old lady rewarded, the thing is still there, but the size has also changed, now only the lotus seed rice is big, and the slave looks yellow, like the appearance of Nanzhu." In addition, there are several kinds of jade carvings and gold objects, the size and color of jade carvings have changed, but the gold objects have changed from the original red gold to matte gold. ”
"Is there such a thing?" Hearing this, E's couldn't help but face it. "You go and move everything over here and have a look."
Biluo took the order and immediately retreated.
And E's held the account book and looked at it carefully.
After a while, Biluo took two small servants to carry a cage to turn, E's walked down to the ground, ordered someone to open the cage to take a look, only to see that there were seven or eight pieces of gold and jade lying inside, and the appearance was quite familiar, because most of the shapes were common styles, and the price was 108,000 miles different from the one registered on the list.
In fact, the E family was very unfamiliar when they saw this, but how could the common ornaments with ordinary texture match the identity of the prince and wife of Wei back then? Even if there were, when the dowry was counted and put into the warehouse, it had already been processed according to the value classification, and it was impossible for worthless things to be stored in the treasury for so many years!
If one thing is misremembered and just accidental, then can so many things that change in the same way still be called accidental?
"Where's Mama Ning?" She turned and said, "Call her here." ”
Before Biluo took over, these things were all in the hands of Mama Ning, who would she find if she didn't look for this kind of thing?
Mama Ning was also quickly brought over.
Seeing E's deep salute, he asked, "I don't know what Mrs. commands." ”
Eshi pointed to the boxes of fakes on the ground and showed her, then pushed the account book in his hand to her, and said, "What's the matter with these things? How did this foot-tall emerald jade unicorn become an eight-inch-tall Hetian jade unicorn? And this East Pearl, how did it become such a small South Pearl? ”
Mama Ning glanced at it and said, "If you go back to Mrs., these are the things that were registered in the register!" ”
E Shi sank his face: "You are still opening your eyes and talking big!" The shape, texture and size of this booklet are clearly recorded, are you fooling me for a fool or what? Tell me, where did all that stuff go! ”
Mama Ning knelt down and said, "Is the wife suspicious of the slave hiding her secrets?" The slave and maid have no home and no worries, and they are also people who have stepped into the loess, and the wife has not treated the slave and maid badly in so many years, what do the slaves and maids want to do? ”
E's silence when he heard this.
Mama Ning is not the most capable one among all her married people, the reason why she was mentioned as a housekeeper at the beginning was because she had been with her for a long time, second, she was high in rank among the subordinates, and she was easy to convince the public, and third, because she had no family members except for an embroidered piano, especially the third point, which covered up her lack of ability, which made her feel at ease to let her manage the treasury.
At present, although the number of things in the warehouse is not small, the real thing is not the right number, and only Mama Ning is a huge suspect. But what she said was right, she was alone, and what did she do with all this?
Seven or eight things add up, and the loss is estimated to be around three or five thousand taels, which is already a huge fortune for a subordinate. If she lost some small fortune, she still said in the past, such a big sum, she must have a motive to commit the crime.
She stared at her for a moment, then said, "And what's the matter with this box?" With the keys in your hand and no one else close by, is it possible that they will transform themselves into a different shape? ”
Mama Ning raised her head and said, "Mrs. forgot, seventeen years ago, when Mrs. took the old slave to run errands?" ”
E's brows moved.
Mama Ning looked left and right, and waited for the E clan to wave away Biluo and Han Yun, and then said in a low voice: "Seventeen years ago, when the wife noticed that the identity of the prince was different, she asked the slave maid to take care of it.
"At that time, the feed was temporarily handed over to the old lady, and every sum of more than fifty taels of silver in our hands had to pass through the old lady's hand, and the silver tickets in the wife's hand at that time were all stamped, so as not to let others peep into the clues, didn't the wife let the slave maid go to the treasury to take some things and sell them?"
When E's heard her mention seventeen years ago, his expression was a little confused.
She vaguely remembered that there had been such a thing. However, as for the jewelry worth thousands of taels of silver, would she pawn it at a low price to find out the truth? It's not that she is reluctant to give up money, in fact, for this matter, she spent far more than this amount of silver, but since she has to spend so much money, she can go to the money bank to exchange huàn cash, why bother?
But more than ten or twenty years, she was in confinement at that time, and her mood was worried, she only felt that the child in her hand was different from what he saw when he was born, and there was such a big thing in Chen Wangfu during that time, she didn't devote more energy to semen tubes, whether it was like what Mama Ning said, she couldn't verify it.
Since it can't be verified, what reason did she use to punish her sin?
What's more, she is alone, staying in the Han family in a proper manner will naturally have good results, and with these thousands of taels of silver, she not only has to be frightened, but she has no land to spend, what does she want?
Forget it, a few pieces of jade should have really been spent on the things of the year.
She looked at Mama Ning underground for a while, stepped back and sat down on the chair, and said, "Get up." ”
Mama Ning thanked her, got up from the ground, stepped forward to make tea for her, and said: "The slave maid is bold, and she doesn't dare to make a fuss about the wife's things, the slave and the maid are stupid, but the wife has been around for thirty or forty years, what kind of character is it, the wife knows best, the slave and the maid have never missed a copper child for the wife over the years."
