Chapter 122: The Black Hand
The waiting time is always particularly painful, and when another group of people returned, it was already halfway through noon.
Xie Shuning was anxious, and when she thought that this matter might be related to Wang Ren, she couldn't help but sigh, and she didn't even have the idea of having lunch.
Song persuaded her to fill her stomach with some snacks first, but where could she eat, she only reluctantly used two pieces of mung bean crisp with Song's hands, so she didn't want to eat any more.
"Qin Da's daughter-in-law, can you ask something?" Xie Shuning paced in place, looking anxious.
Song was used to seeing her in front of her, coquettish and soft, where had she seen her like this, she was surprised and distressed, and hurriedly comforted her: "Qin's daughter-in-law is already asking, Gui's mother and Yuzi will be fine." ”
Xie Shuning said a perfunctory "um", then pounced in front of her, gritted her teeth and said, "Mother, ask Mama Jiang to ask, I'm afraid others won't be able to ask." ”
"Mama is still sick!" Of course, the Song family also knew that Mama Jiang was a good hand in terms of questioning, but when they went back to Puji Temple to make incense, Mama Jiang had been sick, and although she was better now, she was still not good. Even Lu Kong said that Mama Jiang's illness was difficult to heal, and she was afraid that time was running out, so how could she disturb the old man for such a thing?
Xie Shuning was also in a hurry to go to the doctor, so she thought of Mama Jiang, and immediately became annoyed when she heard the word "sick".
She also hopes that Mama Jiang will live for a few more years, but she can't let her work hard when she is just showing signs of improvement.
Xie Shuning's face became more and more gloomy.
Song couldn't help but say, "Qin's eldest daughter-in-law may really not know about it...... Qin Datong has a bad relationship with her......"
"No!" Xie Shuning categorically vetoed it, even if the relationship between the husband and wife was not harmonious, if Qin Dazhen did not buy it, then his daughter-in-law would definitely know about it. As the daughter-in-law who followed the car, she couldn't accompany her, so she had to find an excuse. is so dignified, how could Qin's daughter-in-law not follow the car?
Who doesn't know that the first person in the house is the Song family, the second lady of the long house, Lord Liang, and that is incomparable.
When she goes out, Qin's daughter-in-law can get at least one or two pieces of silver, and when the ladies in the house spend only two taels of rouge gouache a month, is she stupid to be willing not to go?
Xie Shuning said: "I've been asking for more than half an hour, but I still haven't asked a word, this matter can't be dragged on like this." I'm going to pass the moon to the white. ”
Song was surprised, "Yuebai? ”
"She has been studying with her grandmother for a few years, so she won't grow at all." Xie Shuning is clear about Yuebai's catties, but it is better than nothing at the moment.
Song patted the back of her hand. Sighing, he said, "Do what you want." Mother knows the way. You've always been a measured child. ”
The implication. As long as you don't die, you can ask whatever you want.
Xie Shuning hurriedly sent someone to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion to summon Yuebailai, who was busy embroidering wedding clothes, and directly brought the person to the door of the house where Qin's daughter-in-law was detained.
Yuebai didn't know why, and asked suspiciously: "Miss, what are you calling the slave and maid for?" ”
"How many torture techniques have you learned from your grandmother?" Xie Shuning lowered her voice. Shen Shen asked.
Yuebai was stunned for a moment, and replied thoughtfully: "It's just a fur." ”
Xie Shuning bowed her head and said solemnly with a small face: "In the house is the daughter-in-law of the coachman Qin Da, and today I am traveling with my mother." There was an accident, Qin Da disappeared, Yuzi and Gui's mother also fell out of the car, and now they haven't found anyone, and they don't know whether they are alive or dead. ”
"What?" Yuebai gasped and turned white.
Xie Shuning shook his head and continued: "It doesn't matter what you do, you just have to pull the words out of Qin's daughter-in-law's mouth, no matter what method you use, as long as you don't die." This time, the lives of Mother Gui and Yuzi depend on you. ”
Yuebai's face became whiter, but she still nodded heavily.
Xie Shuning let people open the door.
"Miss, the slave will definitely ask the question." Yuebai walked to the door and suddenly turned around.
Xie Shuning looked at her and smiled encouragingly.
A door that separates the two worlds.
Qin's daughter-in-law inside the door was crying, she really didn't know at all, and she didn't even say a word to her dead ghost man, who knew what he had done secretly.
But she was regretting it in her heart, why didn't she pack up her things early and leave the Xie family, and she wanted to brag about a few stinky girls in the same stove! This is good, I'm afraid I'm going to brag about my own life. Wait until that foolish thing collects the rest of the silver, flees to the field to live happily, and then finds a little girl, who will remember her when the days are beautiful?
Thinking like this, Qin's eldest daughter-in-law is really going to regret her intestines.
"You said you don't even talk to him on weekdays?" Yuebai took a deep breath and rolled up her sleeves.
Qin's daughter-in-law continued to cry, saying those words over and over again, and she didn't put Yuebai in her eyes. In her opinion, Yuebai is no different from the mother-in-law who asked questions, and she looks even more delicate, and there is nothing worth caring about at all.
As long as you keep your mouth shut, sooner or later you have to let yourself go.
As everyone knows, Yuebai read Yuzi's name, and she already recalled everything that Mama Jiang had taught in her heart.
After a while, Qin's eldest daughter-in-law regretted that she had despised her.
Outside the door, Xie Shuning looked up at the blue sky and snow-white clouds, but her heart was so dark that it seemed like it was going to rain.
It's summer, and my uncle says he's coming, but he still hasn't shown up. She thought that when her uncle's letter arrived in Kyoto from Dunhuang, he was afraid that it would be almost time for him to leave. It's going to take a long time. And if you want to get out of the desert, you have to look at the weather. In the event of a sandstorm, postponement is always a common occurrence. Along the way, it was extremely difficult and dangerous.
In this way, I don't know when my uncle will be able to arrive in Kyoto.
She didn't know the bottom of her heart.
In her previous life, she had seen Hu merchants who had returned from outside the Guan, all of them bearded and tired, but the goods they brought back could often be sold at a high price. However, one finger high, the perfume in a small glass bottle can be sold for a high price of ten gold. However, this is only the most ordinary goods.
Kyoto's local high-quality fragrance is only a few dozen taels of silver.
It's not worth comparing at all.
Over the years, she has actually figured out the Song family's family background.
The mother's dowry alone is countless.
Not to mention the mother, but to add her and her brother. A lifetime of food and clothing to choose the best, but it is also not enough.
Therefore, she was a little afraid to think about how much money her uncle had.
I heard my mother say that although my grandfather's generation was not short of money, it was by no means as rich as it is now. Since he was twelve or thirteen years old, his uncle has been very good at making money, and the gold and silver are literally transported to the house in baskets and boxes.
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.
Xie Shuning listened to it at the time. I felt that my uncle was crazy about accumulating money, and with an almost terrifying speed, he made money that many people couldn't earn in a few lifetimes.
She also remembered the words she had said to her uncle when he left.
It stands to reason that the Song family should work hard to be inconspicuous. But the uncle is clearly doing the opposite. Xie Shuning felt that he was preparing for war. In the event of an accident. It is better to have silver than not to have it. More dominant. In terms of his uncle's temperament, he is not used to forbearance, let alone endure it for a lifetime, and his children and grandchildren will be like this.
But he could only endure it......
What happened more than 50 years ago?
Xie Shuning had a splitting headache, and she only felt that her mind was full of predicaments. But there is no way to solve it, and life is a dead end.
She lowered her head, staring at the fallen green leaf on the ground, the tiny fluff along the tip of the vein. I kept watching.
"Miss Eight! Mother Gui and Sister Yuzi are back! ”
There was a sudden commotion behind her, and she hurriedly turned around, only to see Yuzi and Gui's mother being helped in in embarrassment.
She hurried forward and asked sharply, "Who found the person?" ”
But a group of people looked at each other, and no one knew what to do.
Yuzi's face was blue, bloodshot, as if the skin had been worn out, and she was in good spirits, and said, "Miss, it was the slave maid who came back with Mother Gui herself." ”
Xie Shuning blurted out in surprise: "How did you come back?" ”
After asking, she hurriedly asked the two of them to help them into the house first, and took warm water to clean their faces.
When everything was settled, she repeated the question, "The government sent four or five groups of people to look for you, looking for you inch by inch along the road you went to, but no one found you, where did you go?" ”
Gui's mother was seriously injured and twisted her waist, so Xie Shuning let her go down to rest first, leaving only Yuzi to ask carefully.
As soon as the slave and Gui's mother fell off the carriage, Gui's mother hurt her waist and couldn't move at all, and the slave and maid knocked her head and fainted on the spot. When I woke up, I was already in a small tea house, and I was saved by a kind person. The slave knew that she could not catch up with the carriage, and she did not know where the carriage had gone, so she prepared to go back to the house to report the news. Yuzi recalled, "But I was only halfway through the street when I was stopped by a carriage, saying that the government came to pick me up and go back with Gui's mother." The slave and maid looked at the human eye and didn't dare to get into the car, but they were knocked out again...... When I opened my eyes again, I was already at the door......"
Eccentric!
Xie Shuning frowned, "Is the driver driving the car wearing dark clothes?" ”
Yuzi glared, "Exactly!" How does the young lady know the Tao? Is it really the people of the house? ”
"Not really." Xie Shuning tugged at the corners of her mouth, "Things are even more confusing, it seems that we still have to wait for Qin's daughter-in-law." ”
As soon as the words fell, there was a knock on the door, saying that Yuebai had come out.
Xie Shuning let Yuzi rest first, and went to see Yuebai in the second room.
Song is also in it.
After the mother and daughter sat down, Yuebai said: "Qin's daughter-in-law said that Qin Da accepted the Chen family's silver, but she didn't know what to do, she just listened to Qin Da's instructions not to follow the car." The two met at the bottom of the tower at noon today and fled together. ”
At this hour, Qin Da must have fled first.
Song's voice cooled, "Qin Da received the Chen family's silver?" ”
"Yes." Yuebai nodded, "The slave thinks that she is telling the truth. ”
"Chen Wanyuan......" Song shook his head and said, feeling cold.
Sure enough, they are all members of the Chen family, and they are mean and vicious in the same vein...... (To be continued......)
