Chapter 64: Coincidence
No, it's not! The old man with a pair of eyes hurriedly shouted, "No, I didn't steal it, it was Zhao Wentong who shoehorned it into me!" ”
"It's just gibberish!" Master Qiao was furious, and immediately flew up and kicked the old man's body, "Why do they want to force you in?" ”
"Silence!" Zhen Shiyuan was obviously extremely dissatisfied with Master Qiao, he knocked on the shocking wood and said angrily, "Qiao Zhengyuan, you have repeatedly disturbed the court, where is the official?" Come! ”
The two officials immediately came out of the queue and dragged Master Qiao to the back hall, and after a short time, they took Master Qiao, who was limping from walking, to the hall again. Obviously, Master Qiao was hit by a few boards, of course, Lord Zhen didn't mean to hurt Master Qiao, so the official had a number in his hand, and let Master Qiao take a painful lesson and let him come back.
Master Qiao, who has been beaten for a few boards, finally doesn't interject at will.
The third lady, who was kicked by Master Qiao, spit out a front tooth, wiped the blood on his mouth, and then said: "On the eve of the marriage, Miss Zhao Qian of the Zhao family accidentally fell into the water and died, and the Zhao family was reluctant to do this family business, so they thought of an idea of Li Dai Taozhuang, and asked the old man to open one eye and close one eye to help hide the old lady from them." "Although the eldest daughter-in-law of the Qiao family does not look at power, she must also be innocent, and she can't marry a woman who is unknown.
Qiao Ran smiled and said, "Why is the Zhao family reluctant to do this family business?" ”
The third old man glanced at Master Qiao on the side, and heard a startling voice in his ears, and then he said hesitantly: "Naturally, it's because of money." ”
The Qiao family's gold and silver mountains are indeed tempting.
"Who's that woman?" Qiao Ran asked again.
The third old man looked at Master Qiao on the side, and after a pause, he said: "I only heard that her mother's surname is Jiao, and Zhao Wen called her Jiao Niangzi, but I don't know much about the specific origin." ”
It turned out to be a woman who didn't know the origin, Master Qiao coughed twice, and said sharply: "It's an ordinary woman, why not marry it?" "The Qiao family is not short of money, and they don't seek power, what's wrong with marrying an ordinary woman?
Qiao Ran smiled, ignored Master Qiao, and only said to the third master: "You don't know, but someone does." After that, he turned to Zhen Shiyuan and said, "Lord Zhen, please pass on the heirs to witness Yanniang and Qingxu to the court." ”
Zhen Shiyuan was already a little numb, this Miss Qiao came so prepared, but he had nothing to do as an adult, except to stop the old man Qiao who always liked to interject indiscriminately, it seemed that there was nothing else to do.
"Heirloom card!"
Just heard Miss Qiao mention the names of the two witnesses, everyone felt that something was wrong, at this time, they saw that the official messenger brought two women wearing full-breasted skirts to the court, and saw that one of the women had a faint furrow on her chest, and suddenly it turned out to be a woman from the Qinglou.
"The slave family is the mother of Gusu Caixiulou." The woman named Yanniang said and stretched out her white tender finger to point to the somewhat mediocre-looking woman beside her, "This is Qingxu, the cook lady who cooks in the building, and when she was young, she also served a few girls. ”
The woman who was regarded as a cash cow by her mother in the Qinglou naturally did not touch the spring water with her fingers and needed to be served, and this Qingxu was obviously serving these women when she was young.
"Have you seen her?" Qiao Ran took out a portrait from his sleeve and displayed it in front of everyone.
Many people have recognized this portrait as that of the eldest lady Qiao.
"The slave family listened to it in the hall, Jiao Niangzi! The slave family will not forget the appearance of the beauty, and Gusu has seen a few old benefactors of Jiao Niangzi, which is not fake. Yan Niang pointed to the portrait and said, "She stayed with me for a while, and she didn't sell her body, and then she got along with a scholar who likes to paint." ”
"Is this scholar born like this?" Qiao Ran took out another portrait and displayed it in front of everyone.
It is the uncle of Master Qiao, the appearance of Zhao Wen, the "brother" of Mrs. Qiao.
Yan Niang glanced at the portrait and smiled: "You know everything, and you still ask the slave family what to do?" ”
Qiao Ran paused for a moment and looked at Master Qiao.
Master Qiao stood aside with a blue face, not saying a word.
"Originally, I thought Master Qiao was going to question it!" didn't hear Master Qiao's questioning, Qiao Ran was a little unaccustomed, paused, and said with a smile, "Master Qiao doesn't ask, then I'll ask." Yan Niang, what evidence do you have to prove that the current Mrs. Qiao is the Jiao Niangzi, and that the scholar is the brother of the current Mrs. Qiao? ”
Yan Niang chuckled lightly and looked at Qingxu on the side: "Come on!" ”
Qing Su replied in a low voice, walked out, and after saluting Zhen Shiyuan, he said: "When Jiao Niangzi was in the Caixiu Building, she was the Jiao Niangzi who was served by the people, because she knew that Jiao Niangzi had a black mole on her armpit and three fingers, and there was also a pink birthmark on her left shoulder. ”
Master Qiao didn't say anything.
Seeing that he didn't interject, Zhen Shiyuan said in his heart: It seems that most of them are not wrong.
The Qing Xu said, and then untied a scroll of paintings on his back and presented it: "My lord, back then, Jiao Niangzi and her brother, no, this scholar painted a portrait of Jiao Niangzi, and also mentioned a poem, and the adults can know the authenticity by comparing the handwriting." ”
“…… If the two love for a long time, how can it be in the twilight dynasty? Zhen Shiyuan read the poem on the painting.
It's still a very famous love poem, and even the explanation is omitted.
Zhen Shiyuan raised his chin and asked the master Qiao under the hall to ask him to identify whether it was his "uncle's" handwriting.
The person on the portrait is Mrs. Qiao, who has no worries about food and clothing over the years, and there is not much difference between her appearance and her appearance when she was young, and many people recognize it at a glance.
"Qiao Zhengyuan, this is Zhao Wen's handwriting?" Zhen Shiyuan knocked on the startled wood and asked.
Master Qiao blushed, and after a long time, he spit out a word from his mouth: "Yes." After saying this word, he leaned over to Zhen Shiyuan and bowed, and said, "My lord, the grass people are unwell, can they go to the hall to listen?" ”
The young men at the front of the crowd were whispering.
"This Master Qiao has always had a good face, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold it!" A student sighed, "Think about him being kept in the dark, it's pitiful." ”
For the good-faced Master Qiao, being known by so many people with a green hat feels no different from being roasted on the fire.
Pei Xizhi looked at the hall and smiled: "It depends on whether that Miss Qiao is willing to let him go." ”
Want to go? Qiao Ran smiled and said to Master Qiao: "Master Qiao, this matter is not that the little girl is unforgiving, but that the matter related to Master Qiao has not yet been said. ”
"What's the hurry?" Second Lady Fang, who had been listening to the hall for a while, couldn't help but sneer, "Wait!" ”
The madwoman must have known about this early in the morning, thinking about her ridicule before, Master Qiao's face turned blue with anger, and he stood stiffly in place.
Qiao Ran smiled at him, turned her head and looked at the old woman who had been standing aside for a long time: "Lady Lin." ”
The old woman stood up and got up after saluting: "The old slave is by the old lady's side, and after the old lady passed away, she was released to the old house in Gusu." ”
The Qiao family has always been good to the old servants who have been with them for many years.
"What happened before my grandmother died?" Qiao Ran asked her.
Lin Po looked at Master Qiao.
See what he does? At this time, Master Qiao had lost the excitement, shock, and anger he had when he first faced Uncle Shanggen, and turned his head and closed his eyes silently.
Qiao Ran didn't care, and nodded at Lin Po: "Say it!" ”
Only then did Lin Po speak: "The old lady was checking before she was seriously ill...... The matter of the little boy. ”
Even though today has been smashed by the Qiao family's old things one after another, some of them can't come back to their senses, after hearing this sentence, the audience is in an uproar again.
Mrs. Qiao got sick after checking the matter of the little son of the Qiao family, and passed away soon after, and Mrs. Qiao asked her to check the matter of Mrs. Qiao, and soon became ill, and then passed away.
Is there such a coincidence in this world?
