Chapter 121: A word wakes up the dreamer
Feng Xiaoxue couldn't figure out why the girls who were going to marry her husband came up one after another, and her husband was just a little cell head now, so what should she do in the future.
The more concubines, the more people will share his husband, this is something that no woman will be happy with, she can't have children, so she can only accept her husband's concubines, but she doesn't want her husband to have too many concubines. Qin Zhihui was missing, and the incense of the Yang family still didn't have a place, so she took the initiative to discuss with Yang's mother to re-give her husband a concubine.
Mother Yang carefully asked Yang Qiuchi about Hao Qian's situation, and thought it was very good, and after a brief discussion with Feng Xiaoxue, they all thought it was very good and could be married. But he also felt that this matter would have to wait for Song Qing's matter to be dealt with before making a decision.
That night, Yang Qiuchi was lying on the bed with Feng Xiaoxue in his arms, seeing that Feng Xiaoxue was a little unhappy, knowing what she was thinking, he gently stroked Feng Xiaoxue's smooth skin, and comforted: "Xiaoxue, although there are three people who come to propose, I won't marry all of them, if whoever comes to propose, I will marry whomever I want, can I marry so many women?" ”
The husband understands what he thinks in his heart, and can take care of his own thoughts, which makes Feng Xiaoxue's heart warm, she hugged Yang Qiuchi closely, and said: "Husband, you should accept a concubine for our family to inherit the lineage, but I don't want to give you an idea of who to accept, so you should decide for yourself." ”
Yang Qiuchi kissed her lightly on the forehead: "Xiaoxue, you say, which of the three should I accept?" ”
Feng Xiaoxue thought for a while: "I haven't seen the fifth aunt of the county master, Tai Mei Niang's sister, but this Mei Niang looks very ...... It's very ......" Feng Xiaoxue wanted to find a more appropriate word, but she couldn't think of a suitable word for a while.
"It's glamorous, isn't it?" Yang Qiuchi said with a smile.
Feng Xiaoxue snorted: "Actually, she is still quite beautiful, but some, some ......"
"It's a bit pretend, it's tender, isn't it? Hey hey"
These are all things Feng Xiaoxue thought in her heart, but she was embarrassed to say it, since her husband said it, Feng Xiaoxue acquiesced, and then said: "I don't know how her sister is?" ”
"Whatever she does, I'm not interested anyway." Yang Qiuchi waved his hand.
"Hehehehe, I know you're not interested in Mei Niang." Feng Xiaoxue smiled and touched Yang Qiuchi's chin, "At the banquet on the day you married Zhihui, Mei Niang hooked up with you, and you avoided it, Xiaoxue was so happy when she saw it." ”
"Good! So you're peeking at me from the sidelines! Yang Qiuchi pinched Feng Xiaoxue's firm and smooth breasts, Feng Xiaoxue belched, and hit Yang Qiuchi in the chest with a pink fist: "You want to pinch me to death?" Then he said: "That Hao Qian, the daughter of Hao Yuan's family, although I haven't seen it, but I heard my husband talk about it, I seem to like it very much, she is knowledgeable and courteous, and she must be very beautiful, otherwise, her husband will take them both, right?" ”
"Hah! You want to kill the daughters and daughters-in-law of the Hao family, and you are more ruthless than me. Yang Qiuchi said with a smile, in fact, why didn't he think about it like this.
Although they talked about it and laughed, Yang Qiuchi and Feng Xiaoxue both felt that there were still many troubles in the matter of taking concubines, and it was really not as simple as they imagined.
Early the next morning, Yang Qiuchi got up, first asked Yang's mother to wait at home, he went to the inner office to call Song Qing, and then asked her to go to Yingtianfu to find Song Qing's mother to withdraw from the marriage, and asked Feng Xiaoxue to be responsible for arranging the marriage of Long Zixu and Chunya, and then went to the inner office.
Song Zhixian They haven't gotten up yet. Song Yun'er had already gotten up and came to the living room to talk to Yang Qiuchi. After a while, Song Zhixian also came out with his concubine Meiniang.
When Mei Niang saw Yang Qiuchi, she grinned, holding a silk handkerchief in her hand, twisted Yang Liu's thin waist and snuggled on Yang Qiuchi's chair, and said in a sweet and tired voice: "Young Master Yang, you know all the family affairs I gave you, right?" Hee hee, my sister is a first-class talent, much more beautiful than me, if you see it, I will make sure you look at it straight, hehe, let's give this matter as soon as possible, I'm in a hurry to drink your Xie Wen wine. With that, the handkerchief in his hand swept lightly over Yang Qiuchi's head, and a strong fragrance suddenly covered Yang Qiuchi's entire head.
Yang Qiuchi looked at Song Yun'er for help, Song Yun'er pretended not to see it, and looked at the bare branches outside the living room door, as if she was enjoying some beautiful scenery.
Yang Qiuchi looked at Song Zhixian again for help, and Song Zhixian smiled: "Okay, Mei Niang, look, look at what you have made your virtuous nephew nervous, this, this is a big thing, people, people don't have to think about it." Mei Niang grinned, twisted her thin waist and returned to Song Zhixian's side.
Song Zhixian said again: "However, Mei Niang's little sister is also really good, I have seen it, it is indeed very beautiful, Xian, the virtuous nephew will take her over, she must not be wrong." ”
This matter is not worth Yang Qiuchi's more words, and Mei Niang must not be allowed to have any ideas, she must refuse, Yang Qiuchi said: "Thank you uncle and aunt for your love, but the little nephew has decided to accept Song Qing as a concubine, and today I came to go to Ying Tianfu with Song Qing to discuss the divorce with her mother." ”
Song Zhixian was slightly surprised, but how could he, an old fox, not know about the good things of Yang Qiuchi and Song Qing. Song Qing is his niece, but Song Qing's mother is still there, so it is not his turn to decide on this marriage, however, Song Zhixian also knows very well in his heart that his own daughter Song Yuner also likes Yang Qiuchi, but he can't help with this thing, besides, no matter which of the two of them marries him, it is a good thing.
When Mei Niang heard this, her mouth pouted, but Song Qing was Song Zhixian's niece, what could she say, her sister could only stand aside. With a snort, the boss turned around unhappily and went back to the inner hall.
Song Zhixian smiled and said: "Song, if Song Qing marries a virtuous nephew, uncle, I am also very happy, then we will be in the future, but it will really be a family." Song Qing's mother is still very reasonable, but I don't know what the Hao family means. ”
What else? What can he do? Yang Qiuchi said: "It's man-made, I believe the Hao family will agree." ”
Song Zhixian nodded, and paid Yahuan to call Song Qing.
Yang Qiuchi said again: "However, uncle, I'm afraid that the matter of divorce can only be postponed first." Last night I had an important discovery, I extracted a small grain of cinder at the scene of Tu Laosi's killing, it is estimated that it was left by the murderer, after I analyzed, it was determined that the murderer may be related to the coal mining or iron smelting workshops near Ningguofu, and I am going to look for clues from this, we are now going to Ningguofu first, and let Zhou Zhifu help investigate these smelting workshops. After finishing the matter, I went to Ying Tianfu to discuss the divorce. ”
This white bone case has always been a piece of Song Zhixian's heart, and now there is finally a new clue, Song Zhixian is overjoyed: "Great! There is, there is Lao Xian's nephew. After thinking about it, he said: "That's it, you, you go to work on the investigation of the case, I, your mother and Song Qing will go to Yingtianfu to deal with the divorce for you." ”
Although Yang Qiuchi had already made up his mind to go to Song Qing's mother to deal with this matter, after all, he was thinking in his heart, now Song Zhixian was willing to go for him, and with Song Zhixian coming forward, it would be a hundred times better than himself, and it would be difficult for him to boast about himself, but if he didn't boast, how would others know that it was good for others to marry their daughter to you. Song Qing's mother is Song Zhixian's sister-in-law, and Song Zhixian is a court official, her mother will definitely listen to what she says, and with him coming forward, this matter will be more than half successful.
Therefore, after Yang Qiuchi heard Song Zhixian's words, he was surprised and delighted, and got up and thanked him again and again.
Song Yun'er interjected: "I will accompany my brother to investigate the case, I don't worry about him alone, if there are many bad people, I am afraid that his puppy alone will not work." ”
"Okay!" Yang Qiuchi didn't wait for Song Zhixian to speak, and said happily first, of course he wanted Song Yun'er to go with him.
In this way, it was decided that the soldiers were divided into two ways: Song Zhixian, Yang Mu, and Song Qing went to Yingtianfu to discuss with Song Qing's mother about renouncing the marriage and marrying Song Qing to Yang Qiuchi, and Yang Qiuchi and Song Yuner went to Ningguo Mansion to solve the case.
Yang Qiuchi first went home and took the bloody handprint fingerprint cloth, and then brought the magnetic fingerprint brush, tape and a magnifying glass for extracting fingerprints, called Hou Xiaoqi, a servant of the brocade guard, and took the little black dog to Ningguo Mansion in a carriage with Song Qing.
When he went to the prefect's yamen and found the prefect's mansion, Yang Qiuchi told the prefect Zhou his detection ideas, and the prefect of Zhou immediately called Master Qian Gu in the yamen, who was specifically responsible for tax collection and was very familiar with the large and small smelting workshops in the Ningguo Mansion. Master Qiangu said that there was no place for coal mining in the territory of Ningguofu, and almost all of the coal used was transported from the Huainan coal mining area north of Luzhou (now Hefei). There are more than a dozen coal smelting workshops in Ningguofu, with a total of about two or three hundred people.
Yang Qiuchi asked the Zhou Governor to send someone to extract the fingerprints of all the people in the smelting workshop and hand them over to him, except for children who were too young, and taught him the methods and requirements for fingerprint extraction.
Zhou Governor's order was to extract fingerprints and send them back with 800 miles of expedited. also set aside a house for Yang Qiuchi, Song Yuner and Hou Xiaoqi were in charge of guarding outside the door, and Yang Qiuchi locked himself in the room to compare the fingerprints sent one after another.
Fingerprint comparison is very eye-catching, and although a magnifying glass is used to help, it is still very tiring.
The fingerprint samples near Ning Guofu have been sent, only a few places in remote places have not been delivered, only these fingerprint samples have been delivered, there are more than two hundred, Yang Qiuchi is working very carefully and carefully, and the comparison is even slower, when he finished comparing the last sample, it was already late at night.
After all the more than 200 fingerprints were compared, nothing was found, and Yang Qiuchi walked out of the room tired and depressed.
Song Yun'er had been waiting for Yang Qiuchi outside. Seeing Yang Qiuchi coming out, he ran over excitedly, and was about to ask Yang Qiuchi if there was any result, but from the frustration on Yang Qiuchi's face, he had already seen the result. But I didn't know how to comfort him.
Yang Qiuchi didn't want Song Yun'er to see his failure, so he smiled reluctantly and asked, "Yun'er, why haven't you rested yet?" ”
"I'm with you, brother, don't work too hard. Take your time, if you don't solve another case, you'll be exhausted. ”
In the past few days, Yang Qiuchi and Song Qing have been together, putting Song Yun'er aside, although she doesn't call her, she still feels a little guilty. Now that she has been staying by her side and accompanying her to test, Yang Qiuchi was a little moved in her heart. How could Yang Qiuchi not know the thoughts of this little girl. But I can't talk to her too much, so as not to misunderstand her, the girl's love is just beginning, many of them are like green olives, bitter and astringent, and there are not many things that can be satisfied. It should be fine after a while.
After a tiring day and a few gossips, the two went back to sleep separately.
The next morning, after Yang Qiuchi got up, the servant told Yang Qiuchi that all the fingerprint samples from the remaining remote places had been delivered.
Yang Qiuchi took the sample and rushed into the room to start the comparison, and he didn't even have time to eat breakfast.
When he was comparing, Song Yuner knocked on the door outside, saying that she was bringing him snacks. Yang Qiuchi went out to open the door, took the snack tray in Song Yuner's hand, and was about to close the door, Song Yuner said angrily: "What treasure is so expensive? I won't even be allowed to look at it. ”
In fact, fingerprint comparison only uses a magnifying glass, but this thing is also a rare thing in the Ming Dynasty, Song Yuner, this little girl is a big mouth, a few miles of quack, there are many troubles, besides, she doesn't understand this kind of fingerprint comparison, maybe after guessing and blowing with others, there will be more things to do. Yang Qiuchi didn't explain, and coaxed softly: "Yun'er, you are waiting for my brother outside, okay?" ”
Although Song Yun'er was curious, since Yang Qiuchi didn't let her look at it, she couldn't force it, so she nodded. Yang Qiuchi hurriedly closed the door and began to compare while eating snacks.
As a result, all of them were compared, and none of them were the same.
In vain, this clue is broken again.
Yang Qiuchi was extremely depressed, opened the door, and sat on the threshold in a daze.
When Song Yun'er saw Yang Qiuchi's expression, she knew that she still hadn't found anything, and she didn't know how to comfort him, so she also sat on the threshold and accompanied him in a daze.
Yang Qiuchi sighed, and said to himself with a sad face: "Alas~! What to do? You can't check all the people in all the smelting workshops in the entire Jingshi. ”
"What are you doing inspecting the smelting workshop?" Song Yun'er asked curiously.
"The murderer is likely to be related to the place where there are cinders, but now I have checked all the smelting workshops near Ningguo Mansion, and nothing has been found. Looks like I'm not thinking the right way. But what's wrong? ”
"Where are cinders?" Song Yun'er repeated, "It doesn't have to be a cinder in a smelting workshop." ”
There was a bang in Yang Qiuchi's head, yes, why are you so confused? Although coal was only used in smelting workshops in the Ming Dynasty, this cinder was not necessarily only available in smelting workshops, and it was entirely possible to transport cinders to other places for use! What a word to wake up a dreamer!
Yang Qiuchi happily grabbed Song Yun'er's arm and shook it vigorously: "Genius~!" Yun'er is such a genius~! ”
Yang Qiuchi suddenly became nervous, confused Song Yun'er, and said angrily: "Why are you, are you crazy?" ”
Hahaha, Yang Qiuchi laughed, pulled up Song Yun'er, and the two of them went to find the Yamen Qiangu Master of Zhou Governor's Mansion. Hou Xiaoqi, the servant of the brocade guard, naturally followed closely and protected him at any time.
