33. 033 Letters
A month has passed in the blink of an eye, and He Yuanfang's affairs have still not progressed. During this time, He Liu's family first sent letters to acquaintances in the capital, wanting to find someone to help and see if they could get He Yuanfang's dowry back. Even if you can't get all of it back, it's good to get some of it back.
You must know that when He Yuanfang got married, it was the most beautiful time for the He family. He Liu's daughter hurts like an eyeball, although Master He is not as exaggerated as her, but he will not treat his daughter harshly, so He Yuanfang's dowry can be said to be very rich, a full one hundred and fifty lifts, and there are 50,000 taels of silver tickets in the box, which are not placed outside.
After the accident of the He family, the He family's property was sold a lot, and the rest did not dare to use it easily, so naturally they couldn't take out much as a dowry for He Yuanfang.
She was originally married for the second time, and she couldn't compare with those young girls. After the He family was in trouble, she also lost her identity, and if she didn't have a rich dowry, it would be even more difficult for her to marry better.
As soon as He Liu's letter arrived in the capital, it was lost, and it took almost a month to receive a reply. Along with the letter came, there was also a wooden box. He Liushi opened the box and saw that it was full of old clothes and three account books. She opened the letter, and when she saw it, she almost vomited blood in anger!
The person who wrote the letter was a sister of the He Liu family in the capital, and they had a handkerchief relationship when they were young, and they had been friends for decades. She asked someone to help this time, and it can almost be said that she pinned all her hopes on this sister.
As a result, this person really didn't disappoint her!
The content of the letter was very simple, that is, to tell He Liushi that after receiving the letter, she went to see Mrs. Shao and asked about He Yuanfang's dowry. However, Mrs. Shao told her that He Yuanfang had taken medicine for several years, and the original dowry had been almost spent, leaving only a set of Huanghuali furniture and some clothes and jewelry.
The set of furniture and He Yuanfang's jewelry, the Shao family has obtained He Yuanfang's consent, and it is to be left to He Yuanfang's only daughter Shao Dongzhu. As for He Yuanfang's clothes, she left in a hurry and didn't have time to take them away, and the Shao family also sent someone to pack them for her, and the He family could come to the door to pick them up at any time.
She felt that it would be too troublesome for the He family to go to the capital to pick up the clothes again, so she sent someone to send it to her along with the letter.
At the same time, the letter also said that the account book of He Yuanfang's expenses over the years was also sent, and if the He family did not believe it, they could read the account book.
He Liushi was so angry that he slapped the letter on the table, and took out the account book to check, and saw that there were many details listed on it, and the account transactions were clear! But she is not a stupid village woman who doesn't know anything, she is from everyone, and she has been a housewife in the inner house for many years, where will she not know the catty in Lu Dao?
The letter arrived so late, what did you spend the rest of your time for? Except for forging the ledger, he didn't think about it at all!
He Yuanfang, who got the news, rushed over and saw the box in the house at a glance. She didn't bother to read the letter, and went straight to the box. However, after seeing the contents clearly, He Yuanfang scolded angrily: "The Shao family is simply bastards!" These are old clothes that I don't want, what are they sending them for? Chill me? ”
He Liushi glanced at her coldly and handed her the letter: "This is a reply, you see." "She was so disappointed in this daughter!
At a critical time, I can't even tell the key points!
He Yuanfang noticed He Liu's boredom, and knew that He Liu's was in a bad mood, so he quickly accepted his cry and saluted He Liu's respectfully, and then took the letter and read it carefully.
After reading the content of the letter, He Yuanfang couldn't hold back, and scolded angrily again: "They talk nonsense! I've taken a lot of medicine in the past few years, but how much money did it cost? Where can I spend all 50,000 taels? ”
He Liushi raised his slender eyebrows and looked at her coldly: "Then you can keep an account?" Do you remember how much it spent? How many are left? ”
He Yuanfang was coldly looked at by her, and his heart suddenly became empty. She pinched the handkerchief in her hand uneasily, and her fingers were so hard that the handkerchief was directly deformed.
He Liushi didn't get her answer, her face turned even colder, she raised her hand and slapped it on the table: "Say!" ”
He Yuanfang was startled, and hurriedly said, "Mother! It's all the daughter's fault, it's the daughter's negligence! As she spoke, she knelt down, walked to He Liu's knee, raised her head and said with red circles in her eyes and mourning, "Mother, if you are angry, scold me, just beat me, don't be angry!" ”
He Liushi looked at her, his eyes were also red, and his eyes were instantly full of tears. She sighed, kept He Yuanfang's thin shoulders, and said with tears in her eyes: "You are the meat that fell from your mother's body, why is your mother willing to beat you and scold you?" Mother is distressed! Why are you so stupid! Why did you let the Shao family calculate! ”
He Yuanfang remembered the sad thing and cried too: "Mother! It's all the Shao family, it's too shameless! When her daughter first got married, Mrs. Shao still took her daughter's hand and told her daughter that she would treat her daughter as her own daughter! The daughter believed it, and later she told her daughter that the family had too much money to spend, and she wanted to ask her daughter to borrow 10,000 taels of silver. How can a daughter receive an IOU from her? He gave her the money directly. Later, her daughter was ill and had to be carefully recuperated, so she asked her daughter to take care of her body with peace of mind, and she would deal with the affairs at home. ”
At that time, my daughter thought that she was really good to her daughter, and she was very grateful, so she agreed without thinking about it. Since then, she often asked her daughter for silver, and the more the silver was spent, the more she spent it, and by the time her daughter found out that something was wrong, there were only 10,000 taels left. Until her daughter was abandoned, the money was still there, but when she went to look for it, she was gone! ”
The more He Liushi listened, the more hated she became, and when she heard this, her eyes were as sharp as knives, and she gritted her teeth and asked, "You mean, there is a mole around you?" She half-narrowed her eyes, and finally realized that something was wrong, "What about the four maids next to you?" ”
When He Yuanfang got married, she prepared four dowry maids for He Yuanfang. Two of them, Xueqin and Xueqi, grew up with He Yuanfang, and their loyalty is undoubted, but their appearance is just ordinary and delicate. With such a person, she is not afraid of being taken in by Shao Shiqi and separated from He Yuanfang.
The other two snow books and snow paintings are bought girls, both of whom are beautiful, and they are used to help He Yuanfang envelop Shao Shiqi, and they are specially prepared for him to be a girl.
What she originally thought was that when He Yuanfang was inconvenient, she would use these two girls to trap Shao Shiqi, lest Shao Shiqi go to find someone else and be hooked by a fox.
When He Yuanfang was abandoned and came back, she only cared about He Yuanfang's affairs, and she didn't care about the life or death of the four girls. Now listening to He Yuanfang's meaning, it is obvious that there is a thief around He Yuanfang!
However, when He Yuanfang was asked by her, he became more and more cramped.
He Liu immediately became suspicious.
