Chapter 126: The second uncle prepares the dowry
The roof leak happened to rain overnight.
Yue Zongzheng died suddenly, and the fourth prince lost his right arm. If the marriage between the Shen Mansion and the Qin Mansion is successful, then he will have no chance to win over Shen Changdao.
He muttered, "The seventh brother shouldn't sit idly by. ”
Gu Changlin asked, "Then don't you do anything?" ”
The four princes never pinned their hopes on others, did their own things, and fought for their own power.
"Of course not." After pondering, he said, "I can't delay Miss Yan's actions. ”
"It was no accident that the operation failed that day, I never thought that Miss Yan's residence had so many mechanisms and hidden weapons, but I was afraid that it would not be easy to break. Now people are hiding in the Qin Palace, and many secret guards are following when they go out. ”
The fourth prince sighed secretly, it was indeed he who underestimated this woman, and the person that Lao Qi fell in love with was really different.
"There is no such thing as an impermeable wall. If you plan carefully, you will always find an opportunity. ”
"Subordinates obey." Gu Changlin responded, and said, "Lord, next month, Princess Niangniang's brother Yue will join the army and return to Beijing to report on his work. ”
"Yes, my father is grateful for my father-in-law's hard work all his life, and he should be promoted this time." The fourth prince remembered this brother-in-law who had been stationed outside all the year round, and he had few impressions.
"When the time comes, you can also help the prince and make up for Yue Zongzheng's loss." Gu Changlin thought of this and was a little overjoyed.
"I'm afraid that it will be difficult, he is not kind to the king in the first place. It is rare not to stand on the opposite side of this king. ”
"This ......"
……
Ghost City.
In the evening, Xiyan came to the ghost market as promised. Although her aunt kept advising her to be cautious, she still insisted on coming.
There is no other reason than the letter.
The letter mentioned that Xuanyuan Po intended to honor her words after taking the poison. That's right, it's the 10,000 taels of silver. Xiyan will never be too rich, besides, just to see Xuanyuan Po, not to see the flood beast.
Another more important point is to inform her tonight that she was the mastermind behind Mu Cangliu's murder and the mastermind behind the assassination that night. This is something that Xiyan can't understand, and she definitely wants to ask in her heart to understand. If he is really killed one day, he is also a ghost.
Xiyan hadn't seen the second uncle for a long time, and the shop arrived as soon as it opened.
Shen Li and Lord Shen returned to the Shen Mansion after they explained it, and the eight hundred taels of silver Shen Mansion was also returned. Therefore, the shop was only handed over to the second uncle to take care of.
There is a deeper meaning in this, in the country of Wu, men and women are not allowed to meet before the marriage leave. Now that you have proposed a relative, it is not appropriate to help here.
When the second uncle heard about Shen Li's proposal, he was not very happy. After getting along with Shen Li for these days, he was very satisfied with him, and he was relieved to marry his niece.
"Yan Yan, why did you come back suddenly?"
Xi Yan saw that the second uncle took out all the account books for the year, and he didn't like to settle accounts the most on weekdays, so he was puzzled: "What is the second uncle doing?" ”
The second uncle replied with a smile: "I have to count the dowry." The Shen Mansion is a big family, so we can't make people laugh, we were too hasty last time. Now that I see that Shen Li's child is very good, I will definitely arrange it for you this time. ”
The day before yesterday, Princess Qin sent a message, and the second uncle was so happy that he didn't sleep all night. He and Su Jinse missed it in this life, but fortunately, the children grasped it.
"Second uncle, who told you that I ......" Xiyan didn't fight angrily.
Halfway through the words, I saw Hua Miaomiao wearing a flower skirt, a plain cloak, and a hosta with a begonia on her face, and came in with a spring breeze.
"Yan Yan is back today? Didn't you come back to eat, I just made a snack, come and try it. ”
