Chapter 159: Borrowing a dowry
In the evening, Yue Zhanyan thought about it, and still felt that it was better to tell Jing Hanyu about returning to Shangshu Mansion.
But Jing Han didn't come back when she slept when she met her, so she forgot about it later.
An assassin appeared in the palace, and Jing Hanyu investigated in the palace, and finally found that the assassin was just made by Yelu Man'er.
If it weren't for His Majesty's sake, this Yelu barbarian would have been punished, but the emperor did not dispose of her, but her palace had more people.
This Yelu Man'er will come out every day, but Gu Ye didn't go to see her once, and now he is busy preparing for the prince's canonization.
Anyway, Yelu Man'er can't run away in the palace, sooner or later he is his person, and he has nothing to fear.
What's more, in the eyes of the world, he is an ignorant prince, and he doesn't know how to please people, so naturally there is no need to go to Yelu Man'er to make it up.
The affairs in the palace Yue Zhanyan didn't know for the time being, and when she went out, she told the concierge to go to Shangshu Mansion.
In this way, Jing Hanyu will know where she has gone when she comes back, although she can know her whereabouts even if she doesn't say that Jing Hanyu.
As soon as she arrived at the door of Shangshu Mansion, the porter saw this, and saluted respectfully to Chaoyue and invited her to enter the door.
But Yueshangshu was not in the house, but Liu invited her over, and with the pace of the little maid, Liu was already sitting in the courtyard.
Seeing Yue Zhanyan coming, Liu put away his expression, Yue Zhanyan entered the door, and said to Liu: "My father is not in the house, didn't my mother ask me to go back to the house?" ”
"Look at what you are talking about, it is also because my mother misses you, so I asked people to invite you back, stand at the door and do something, come in and sit."
Liu enthusiastically pulled Yue Zhanyan into the courtyard, turned his head and instructed the waiting maid: "Go make a pot of good tea, and prepare some snacks." ”
The maid took the order, and Yue Zhanyan saw Liu's actions in her eyes, and she was courteous and courteous, either a traitor or a thief.
After Liu finished explaining everything, Yue Zhanyan spoke: "I don't know if my mother called me over, is there something wrong, I still have to go to my father in a while." ”
"You don't have to go over there, I sent someone to ask you to come back from the Prime Minister's Mansion, not the master."
I have already said it just now, this fool really can't understand human words, he has to say it so bluntly, Yue Zhanyan suddenly realized: "It turns out that my mother sent someone to invite me back, but it's good to say it directly, why borrow my father's name?" ”
She opened her mouth as if she didn't understand, and Liu slandered in her heart, if it was in her name, would she still come, but it was not revealed on the surface.
"I think it was because the messenger didn't make it clear, but Yan'er misunderstood."
Yue Zhanyan smiled and didn't answer, at this time, the maid served new tea and snacks, Liu poured a cup of tea for Yue Zhanyan and said: "This cloud and mountain fog and rain is a new tea, the taste is excellent, you taste it to see if it suits your appetite, if you like it, I will ask someone to pack some for you to take away." ”
"Mother knows, I don't understand anything, let alone drink tea, which is usually good for quenching thirst."
Anyway, she drank all the tea in one gulp, who cares what it tastes like, but Liu keeps going around the bend and doesn't get to the point, she really doesn't have so much time to spend here with her.
"This snack is not bad, has there been a change of cook in the house?"
Yue Zhanyan took a bite of the dim sum, the taste was different from before, and then asked.
Liu nodded a little absentmindedly and said: "Yes, the cook was sick before, so I let her go home to rest, this new cook has only been in the house for more than a month, it's rare that you like it, eat more." ”
This dead girl, after coming in for so long, she doesn't ask her what to do, she knows how to eat and eat, how not to choke you.
Yue Zhanyan, who was thinking in Liu's heart, didn't know, ate a snack, drank tea to moisten his throat, and Liu still didn't mean to speak.
Yue Zhanyan wiped her mouth and said: "If my mother thinks of me in the future, it would be good to send someone to inform me, and after seeing it, then Zhanyan will go home first." ”
She is not interested in staring at Liu here, with this time, she might as well go back and practice her sword more.
"Seeing that it's almost noon, it's time to go back, it's better to have lunch and then leave."
looked at the sky, indeed, this time back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, lunch time has passed, so he nodded and said: "That's fine, but, I've been here for a long time, why haven't I seen Sister Lin'er?" ”
Yue Zhanyan also asked casually, but he didn't think about it so much, Liu heard Yue Zhanyan ask, and said: "Lin'er went out early in the morning, and I guess I'm coming back soon." ”
"I see, but Sister Lin'er's wedding is coming, so it's better to go out less."
After talking to Liu's for a long time, Liu's was surprisingly good to her for half a day, as if he treated her as his own daughter.
During lunch, Yue Shangshu did not come back, and there were only Liu and her two masters in the dining room.
The dishes prepared for lunch are all dishes that Yue Zhanyan likes to eat, so obvious to please, Yue Zhanyan doesn't believe that Liu has nothing to ask for, and it is also when Yue Zhanyan is not there.
After eating, Yue Zhanyan proposed to leave again, but Liu still said to stay, Yue Zhanyan said: "It's the same next time I come back, I've been out for too long today, and my big brother will be worried." ”
Using Jing Hanyu as a shield, Yue Zhanyan said that he was very handy, and seeing that Yue Zhanyan was stunned and didn't ask, Liu finally couldn't hold it back.
She took Yue Zhanyan's hand, and said with a mother-daughter expression: "Yan'er, in fact, my mother asked you to come back, and I really want to ask you for help." ”
"What did Mother say, I don't know what Yan'er can help you with?"
Since he said the beginning, he naturally had to finish the matter, and returned to the courtyard with Yue Zhanyan.
Liu sighed and said: "You also know that your father's salary is not high, and recently, he has been preparing for Lin'er's marriage, but this is not a decent dowry, and it is unreasonable." ”
It turned out that she was still not giving up on the dowry in her hand, Yue Zhanyan did not speak, waiting for Liu to finish speaking.
Liu paused in the middle and then spoke: "I'm actually embarrassed to talk to you, but there is really no way, you should help your sister, and this dowry should be borrowed by us." ”
"When the time comes, when Lin'er is married, I will return all this dowry to you, after all, that Zhang Jiyang went to Shangshu Mansion, and this did not fall into the hands of outsiders, you see this, it can be regarded as the face of Shangshu Mansion."
After Liu finished speaking, he stared at Yue Zhanyan, Yue Zhanyan listened, and couldn't help sneering in her heart, this is the first time she has heard of this dowry.
It didn't work out last time, but this time it became a roundabout, if she gave the money for the dowry and went to Shangshu Mansion, she would still have her share returned.
If she is still the same as before, I am afraid that this dowry does not need to be borrowed, and the last time they said it, she gave it with both hands.
