Chapter 55: Conspiracy
Wei Ling glanced at her lukewarmly.
Shi Qingluo glanced at the straw mat behind him, and then spoke: "It seems that your mother has been dead for a while, and if she is not properly placed for burial, even if the weather is not hot now, her body will gradually decompose." ”
Wei Ling's body trembled slightly, and his jaw tightened, of course he knew that his mother had reached the time to be buried, but he was penniless after being suppressed by the Fu family, and no one in Youzhou dared to offend the Fu family because of helping him, if not, how could he fall to the point of selling his body on the street to bury his mother!
Fu Sheng narrowed his eyes and interjected with a smile, "Miss Shi doesn't care about this, that old lady has been dead for several days, and she has dirty eyes from seeing too much." You don't know, this kid is unruly, as a guard of our Fu family, he actually committed a crime, and I couldn't be angry to embarrass him. ”
He Yi snorted quietly, Shi Qingluo didn't pay attention to him, and said to Wei Ling: "I saw it just now, the paper you laid is written with the words "selling your body and burying your mother", I want to ask, how do you sell your body and bury your mother, how to negotiate this price?"
Wei Ling only hoped that he could send Shi Qingluo away quickly, so that he could leave with his mother's body while he was doing this, and it would be impossible for her to buy herself. He lowered his eyes and whispered: "I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, but I can sign a deed of sale, and I can work as a guard or a short-term worker." Just give me twenty taels and let me send my deceased mother to be buried. ”
Twenty taels of silver, and now you don't need so many taels of silver to hire a guard, although you can sign a deed of sale, but the price is indeed too much higher.
Fu Sheng raised his head unceremoniously and laughed, his lackeys also laughed at Wei Ling in agreement, and the onlookers also smacked their tongues, secretly sighing that Wei Ling was too greedy, although it was for the burial of his deceased mother, it didn't have to be so luxurious.
Wei Ling stood with his back stiff, he had been dependent on his mother since he was a child, and his mother's death had an inescapable relationship with him, no matter what, he had to give his mother a decent funeral, his mother had worked hard all her life, and she couldn't die hastily.
He Yi also guessed Shi Qingluo's plan, but he didn't expect Wei Ling to ask for so much silver, and he was a little hesitant for a while. Shi Qingluo raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "You asked for such silver, if you don't need so much for the funeral, and you take the rest of the silver and run away, what then?"
"I, Wei Ling, will never act like that kind of villain!" Wei Ling frowned.
"You have martial arts, how dare I believe you. Shi Qingluo took off the bracelet on his wrist, "In this way, I see that you are alone, it is really inconvenient to organize the funeral, I will order some people to follow you, and when your mother is buried, you will come to Dingfu with them to find me." ”
Shi Qingluo handed over the bracelet, "I don't have any silver on me, this bracelet is worth at least thirty taels of silver, you can pawn it." As for the deed of sale, you can sign it after you come to Dingfu to find me after the funeral. ”
Wei Ling's pupils shrank, his eyes stared at the bracelet in Shi Qingluo's hand, he never expected that at the end of the road, someone could really help, Wei Ling's hands that had always held the sword steadily trembled at this moment.
"Shi Qingluo, you are crazy!"
Before Wei Ling could take the jade bracelet in Shi Qingluo's hand, the stunned Fu Sheng jumped to his feet, Shi Qingluo slowly put the bracelet in Wei Ling's hand, and said: "There are only a few maids around me who don't know martial arts, and I am planning to find a guard. ”
Whether it is the capital or the state or county, but all the young ladies of large families have two accompanying guards, as long as they sign the deed of sale, they are not considered to have ruined their reputation, since Wei Ling voluntarily signed the deed of sale, the two are the relationship between master and servant.
The onlookers all had smiles on their faces, and their impression of Shi Qingluo became more and more kind.
Fu Sheng didn't expect that he had done his part, and Shi Qingluo would not care about his face and fight against him!
is just a concubine of Shangshu Mansion, but she has won a few glances from Princess You, do you really think she is a character!
Fu Sheng was about to step forward, but someone shouted at him behind him
"Big brother!"
Fu Sheng paused, turned his head and saw Fu Jiao Yulian walking towards him, "I saw your carriage from afar, didn't you say that you came to buy plum blossom cakes for your mother, my mother was in a hurry, and specially asked me to come to look for you." ”
After Fu Jiaoyu finished speaking, she saluted Shi Qingluo, "Hello Miss Shi, I haven't seen you for a long time, Miss Shi's complexion is much better." ”
Shi Qingluo bent down and saluted back, "The same is true for Miss Fu." ”
Fu Jiaoyu tugged at Fu Sheng's sleeve, "Big brother, let's go, you see you blocked this market, how do the people do business, let's go, let's go back." ”
Fu Jiaoyu was originally meeting guests in a restaurant not far away, but she happened to hear the people in the wing next door talking about the matter here, and only then did she know that her simple-minded eldest brother was causing trouble on the street again. It's good that this provoked others, but it was Shi Qingluo who bumped into him.
Since the last birthday banquet was frustrated, Fu Jiaoyu has been respectful of Shi Qingluo, and naturally she can't watch her eldest brother make a fool, so she rushed over in a hurry.
Although Fu Sheng was muddy, he was obedient and obedient, seeing that Fu Jiaoyu kept giving him a look, he had to swallow the scolding that was almost in his throat, obediently said goodbye to Shi Qingluo, and got into the carriage back home.
Not long after Fu Sheng left, the head catcher came late, and when he heard that the troublemaker had left consciously, he didn't pursue it anymore, and the crowd soon dispersed.
Wei Ling held the jade bracelet, lowered his head and said respectfully to Shi Qingluo: "Thank you, Miss!"
Shi Qingluo waved his hand, "It's not me who you want to thank." Shi Qingluo patted Heyi's shoulder, "If she hadn't seen that she was going to speak for you, I wouldn't have seen what you were capable of." I really want to find a guard, your biological mother died without worry, and it will be very convenient to return to Beijing with me at that time. ”
Wei Ling raised his eyes, looked at He Yi sincerely, and thanked him again.
He Yi pursed his lips and smiled.
Shi Qingluo first took Wei Ling back to the Ding Mansion and found a few trusted guards who worked in Agarwood Pavilion to follow him to handle the funeral.
Five days later, Wei Ling finished the funeral of his deceased mother, officially signed the deed of sale, and temporarily lived in Agarwood Pavilion.
Ding Mao casually inquired about Wei Ling's news, but he didn't stop it, but just sent a few more guards to her.
Night
It snowed, the cold wind whistled outside, and there was silence in Ding's mansion, and there was a faint candlelight flickering in the bedroom where the Agarwood Pavilion was left alone.
Shi Qingluo sat opposite Shen Mo, and on the carved log table, there was a token.
Shi Qingluo touched the token and asked, "Have you sent someone back to the capital for your letter?"
"Three days ago, Yin Shi just set off from Youzhou, and it will be in the hands of the emperor in about two days. Shen silently knocked on the table.
"Two days later, it will be the day of Ding Xiuxiu's funeral, and the coffin will set off at the time of the morning, walk around the main city of Youzhou, and arrive at the burial place at about the same time. Shi Qingluo narrowed his eyes and said slowly, "After the time passes, the adults can go to the Ding family's grain shop with the token." As long as the adult's food is successfully transported, I can ensure that Ding Mao will not be able to interfere again!"
In order to speed up the process, the process of condolences is omitted. The time and process of the funeral are purely made up, don't get entangled~~
