Chapter Seventy-Two: A Mouse in a Nest
On June 18, Man Susu got married.
This is the first time in three months, another young lady of the Manchu family married into the Wang family.
The elder sister of the big house married her younger brother Wang Zao, and the younger sister of the second room married her elder brother Wang Wan.
This matter was originally famous for fighting two lawsuits in the government and the entire city and county.
Now that it's time to get married, almost all the people in the county have come to see the excitement.
The road leading to the two kings was crowded with people.
It's already hot this day, but now it's getting hotter and hotter.
There are some shrewd hawkers who have set up stalls on this road.
Specializing in herbal tea to relieve the heat.
There are also small chairs and pestles that are sold.
It's just for those who aren't tall enough to see the excitement ahead.
"Which family member of the clan is this, and it is so lively?" Lord Fujun saw it on the way to Yamen this morning, and couldn't help but wonder a little and asked Lu Qiao.
"If you go back to your lordship, it is a family affair between the rich family in the east of the city and the royal family of the scholar family." Lu Qiao responded.
"Which royal family?" Most of the royal families in this city were scholars, but most of them were poor and unmotivated.
"Wang Shu's family in the crooked neck willow alley, he has a son named Wang Zao......"
The crooked-necked willow alley is mixed, the houses are mostly mud and straw houses, and every rainy and windy day, the roof of someone's house is often overturned.
In the past, the county government allocated money for them to repair it many times, but those people took the money and did nothing, and the roof was torn down next time. So Lord Fujun is very helpless there, and he has been a laissez-faire attitude all these years.
The adult suddenly realized, the Tao turned out to be the Wang Zao's family who was a writer in the pre-school dynasty.
"I heard that the second lady of the Manchu family got married, and she gave a lot of dowry, and there is also an excellent Luan Feng score, have you seen it?" Lord Fujun asked.
Lord Fujun has always loved talents, but those talented scholars are all hermits who learn to sell their fame and reputation, and they refuse to go out.
The people of the Shu clan come from humble backgrounds, and they are either full of utilitarianism, or it is difficult to hide their vulgar hearts, and it is difficult to be talented.
It is really rare to find a Shu clan like Lu Qiao who is both talented and loyal.
"I've seen it," Lu Qiao said seriously:
"However, for that Luan Feng spectrum, there are elements of exaggeration in the world. The rhetoric is quite gorgeous, but it is all a pile of words from predecessors, and it really has no intention. Moreover, the handwriting is rather weak and not engaging enough. ”
"I see."
Lord Fujun sighed and shook his head in disappointment.
The house is full of gongs and drums, people come and go, and it is very lively.
"Today's day is full of heat, and the young lady's body is weak, so don't go to the Wang family with you." Qingmei worriedly wiped a layer of fine beads of sweat from Wang Yingning's face.
"Yes, master, since you have found a matchmaker in the second room to accompany you through the motions, you don't have to go with you."
Red Medicine also persuaded.
Today, everyone in this house is busy, and the old lady Gao, Xie and other elders get together and talk happily.
is the only one who is the master of her family, and everyone only thinks she is transparent.
"Thanks to you this time!" The old lady smiled and patted Aunt Yao's hand.
"No, wait for Su Su to come back another day, let her thank you." The Gao family is also in good spirits on happy occasions, and he also praises Aunt Yao.
"And Yingniang, it's also hard." Gao said again.
"That's true, the matter of Sister Susu's dowry is all handled by the young lady alone." Aunt Yao covered her mouth and smiled.
Wang Yingning glanced at her and said:
"I don't dare to take credit for this, I am only responsible for counting the dowry, but my aunt sent someone to collect it, and I worked hard for my aunt."
When Aunt Yao heard this, she pursed her lips and stopped talking.
On the Wang family's side, the importance of the eldest son's marriage to the stepfamily this time is much higher than the last time Wang Zao married Man Mingzhen.
Tables filled the yard, inviting neighbors and friends from the crooked-necked willow alley.
There are a lot of people who look at the excitement from the outside.
The matchmaker read the Luan Feng score word by word in public, and the old couple of the Wang family felt that they had a lot of face.
For the daughter-in-law of Man Susu, she is even more satisfied.
As for the groom's official Wang Wan, except for the younger brother Wang Zao, who was supported by his younger brother Wang Zao and Man Susu when he worshipped the church, he bowed three times and never showed his head again.
"What's going on with this eldest son of the Wang family?" Outside, the people who climbed the wall to watch the bustle shouted:
"In other people's marriages, the bride is sent to the cave room, and the groom stays behind to drink with the guests. How did your house send the bridegroom into the cave house? How? It is not possible for the bride to come out and drink with the guests! ”
Everyone laughed and shouted for the bride to come out and eat and drink with everyone!
Man Susu clenched the veil in the west room, and when she visited the church with the king tonight, she took a closer look at the king's night.
But he saw that his eyes were dull, and every move seemed to be done by his younger brother.
It looks very weird.
Man Susu kept beating the drums in his heart, becoming more and more afraid.
There must be something wrong with this Wang Wan.
She doesn't want to marry, she doesn't want to marry!
For now, as long as she can escape from here, even if she follows the merchant of the Northern Dynasty, she will admit it.
Suddenly, Man Susu, who had this idea, threw the feather fan that blocked his face and wanted to rush out of the door.
It turned out that the door had been locked outside.
The people who came to Wang's house to eat and drink at night left one after another, and a few young people took advantage of the night to hide.
In the middle of the night, I listened to the corner of the new house.
Sure enough, there were a few screams from time to time in the room.
There were not only women's screams, but also men's cries.
"This Wang Wanman's family is really amazing, and the movement is too big." Listen to the people in the corner laughing.
Opposite to the new house is Wang Zao and Man Mingzhen's house, and the two of them heard such movements in the house.
Wang Zao sneered and fell asleep by himself with the strength of wine.
The rest of Man Mingzhen sat intently under the window and listened to the movement, and a kind of crazy smile appeared in her eyes from time to time.
That's it for me in this life, but don't think about it if you are full of Susu.
After dawn, Wang Wan and his wife went to the main house to give tea to the two elders of the Wang family.
I saw Wang Wan's face was bloody, and she was lying on his mother's lap crying.
Man Susu was no better, his face was blue and red, and his hair was also removed.
The mother of the Wang family stroked her eldest son distressedly, and threw the tea that Man Su Su came to her hard.
"I just thought you were gentler than your spicy sister, who knew that you were all raccoon dogs, a mouse in a nest, and a maggot in the gutter!"
Her eldest son is a little stupid, but where has he been beaten like this.
This man is also a little vicious.
"Mother-in-law, if you scold her, you will scold her, what are you taking me for!" Man Mingzhen hummed unhappily on the side.
"Who made her your good sister!" The mother of the Wang family snorted.
Man Mingzhen pursed her mouth, this Wang family has the current situation, and it still relies on her dowry.
Otherwise, they wouldn't even be able to afford to drink gruel.
Speaking of dowry, Man Mingzhen turned his eyes, and yesterday he saw that there were a lot of dowries brought by Man Susu.
The second uncle and two aunts have been in possession for so many years, and they really have a private collection!
"Also, look what you've gotten with you!" The mother of the Wang family threw the dowry list on the table to Man Susu.
She didn't do anything last night, so she counted the dowry according to the dowry list.
I don't know if I don't count, but this count, she is really angry.
This list clearly reads gold plate, jade Guanyin, silver holding pot, silver wine cup, ivory chopstick, tight silk satin, Shousheng wine, Hantan incense......
But she counted it several times, and it was clear that they were all worthless bronze utensils, as well as some wooden furniture, and there were not many fine silks, all of them were coarse cloth, and the wine was also cheap Jinhua wine.
Where is the shadow of the gold, silver, jade, silk and satin written on the dowry list!
"Your family is deceiving, if you don't give my Wang family an explanation, let's go to the county government yamen again!"
Mrs. Wang got a favor in the county government yamen last time, and this time she opened her mouth and closed her mouth to the county government yamen.
She wanted to go, but Man Suke didn't dare to go again.
"Those gold, silver and jade artifacts were all prepared for me by my father, how can they be fake?"
At this time, Man Susu had already transferred his resentment at marrying a fool to Wang Yingning:
"Before I entered the door, the dowry was all taken care of by the Wang family, and this matter must have been done behind her back, and she embezzled my dowry, and my mother-in-law should sue her if she wants to."
Mrs. Wang frowned:
"You're talking about Yingniang, how could she steal your dowry, she is a good person."
Man Susu sneered, she is a good person, if she is a good person, there will be no bad people in the world.
Seeing her hateful look, Mrs. Wang also had some belief, and then said in a gloomy voice:
"If that Yingniang really embezzled our family's property, I don't care who she is, I definitely want her to look good!"
"And you, go back to the door in three days to find out about the dowry, and bring it back to me according to what is written on the list, otherwise you will wait to be a cow and a horse in my Wang family."
When Man Su heard this, his face was even more like ashes. Man Mingzhen smiled more and more happily, and even hoped that her dowry would never be recovered.
