Chapter 58: The Dowry

Not to mention ordinary Shengdou small people, even small nobles like Yan Songnian, who have no real power and official positions, are also afraid of the government.

Hu Pozi's heart is slightly cold, and when the crime of robbers is implemented, the sinner will be whipped and stabbed and exiled to the bitter cold land in the extreme north.

But she expected that this snake skin would definitely be found, even if she couldn't find it, and Yan Songnian, she didn't believe that Yan Qingge could cross Yan Songnian and send herself to the official for disposal.

The fearless Hu Pozi put her hands in her sleeves, and said with a stalk around her neck: "Don't be hard-mouthed." When I say I can find it, I can find it. Let's ride a donkey and read the record book, and we'll see. ”

The courtyard of Qingxingyuan is large, and the owner and the house where the people live, as well as various warehouses and kitchens, etc., a total of seventeen rooms.

The three maids quickly searched Yan Qingge's house, and ripped the cages and clothes in her house in a mess, but naturally they didn't find the snake.

Then they moved to the subordinate room and some open storerooms and kitchens, and still found nothing.

After looking around, only one locked warehouse was not opened.

Hu Pozi pointed to the storehouse and said loudly: "The thing must be in this storehouse, and if you lock it, you must have hidden the snake in it." ”

Yan Qingge said coldly: "There is also a bottom line for bullying!" It's my mother's dowry, can you see it? ”

Mrs. Hu didn't give up, patting her thighs and howling again. Yan Songnian said: "Qingge, since you want to prove your innocence, open the house, what is wrong with your mother's dowry." ”

"That's right, I'm afraid that the eldest lady really locked that snake inside." At this time, a charming female voice sounded at the door, and it was Aunt Hai and Yan Shuyu who came.

In order to find the snake molt, it has been more than an hour, and it has not been found. Aunt Hai thought that she had gotten the news, and she was so anxious that she came to see the progress in person.

Aunt Hai, who entered the courtyard, stood next to Yan Songnian and said softly: "Master, Shuyu was playing chess with Aunt Chu just now." After she apologized to Aunt Chu last night, the two have reconciled as before. ”

Yan Songnian showed a smile on his face, looked at Yan Shuyu gently, and said, "Shuyu, you are doing a good job." ”

Yan Qingge looked at Yan Songnian's fatherly face in disappointment, and hatred cleared his heart.

She said in an icy voice, "It's okay to look at my mother's dowry." But I can only show it to you by my people. If any of you dare to steal a piece, or break it and stain it a little, it doesn't matter if it's an aunt or a concubine, or what kind of grandmother, send them all to the official, and if it's a girl, you will be killed with a cane on the spot. ”

Aunt Hai laughed and got angry again, and sneered: "What a big breath! ”

Yan Qingge said coldly: "I have sent someone out to deliver a letter to Yan Xiuyu, my uncle is not here, and my uncle's students are just as good!" The official will arrive in a while, so you just have to wait. ”

At this time, Aunt Hai found out that Ruyi, who had been following Yan Qingge like a little tail, was not present, and she must have been taken away to report the news. She was thrown by Yan Xiuyu with a knife, knowing his temper, her face turned white with fright.

Yan Songnian's face changed, he flicked his sleeves and said, "Nonsense!" This is just a family matter, how to make trouble in the government. Lose the face of our Yan family. You don't have to open this storehouse, call someone to stop those officials. ”

Yan Qingge bit his red lip and said with a smile: "My father knows that it is embarrassing, how can he still make people search my boudoir?" If you know now, why bother in the first place. It's late! ”

What if Yan Songnian is her father? In the past, she was not unfilial to Yan Songnian, what did Yan Songnian do to her today?

Yan Qingge can be regarded as seeing it, she was reborn, why should she be wronged by herself. has an uncle to call the shots for her, and Yan Songnian can only knock out her teeth and swallow blood.

Yan Qingge clapped his hands and said, "Looking for frost, asking about snow, blowing ice, Mama Zhu, the four of you will go to the warehouse with me, carry everything out, and show people what kind of Rausch snake is in it!" ”

The door of the warehouse was opened wide by Yan Qingge, and the contents inside were unobstructed. She took the lead and strode in, and since they wanted to see it, she told them to take a good look!

Yan Songnian was angry by Yan Qingge's behavior, and the first Buddha was born, and the second Buddha ascended to heaven and followed in. He must persuade Yan Qingge to change his mind and eliminate this matter invisibly. However, a small family matter has to be caused by the government, if it spreads, he will no longer be able to raise his head in this capital.

Mrs. Hu was so confused that she panicked, and her eyes glanced straight at Aunt Hai.

How could Aunt Hai have expected that Yan Qingge would be so strong that she would dare to report to the official. She had all kinds of calculations in her mind, thinking about how to get herself clean from this matter.

She rolled her eyes, took advantage of Yan Qingge and Yan Songnian to enter the warehouse, and whispered to Hu Pozi: "Don't forget, your two grandchildren are still apprentices in Hai's Pharmacy. ”

Mrs. Hu was shocked, and looked at Aunt Hai in disbelief. Aunt Hai had a paralyzed face: "You should be obedient, don't harm the whole family." ”

As soon as these words came out, Hu Pozi softened into a puddle of mud, knelt on the ground and wailed.

At this time, Yan Qingge also asked someone to carry out the cage and various utensils inside, and placed them in the courtyard in the same way.

After all the things were lifted, Yan Qingge looked at the wide open door and said, "You can see clearly, there are only large pieces of furniture left in the house, all of which are empty and clean, and there is no snake moult to hide." The rest is out there. ”

Then, she opened the first large box, and saw that it was full of scrolls of calligraphy and paintings. Yan Qingge took out the scrolls one by one and put them on the table, and turned the box upside down, obviously there was nothing else in it.

She opened the second box again, which was full of silk and satin and all kinds of precious fabrics, most of which were good things that could only be made a dozen a year and could not be bought with money, and most of them were tributes only in the palace.

Next, Yan Qingge opened four or five more boxes, all of which were full of clothes, and the quality was getting better and better. Aunt Hai's eyes were also straight, she never thought that there was such a good thing in that Le's dowry.

Yan Songnian was also taken aback, when he married Le's, it was very twists and turns. Because Heshan Lejia and the Yan family are the same family of poetry and books, the family property and wealth are not as good as the Yan family, there is no dowry grange and shop at all, and the dowry list shown to him when he entered the door only wrote how many picture scrolls, a number of materials, a few pieces of jewelry, and how much furniture, and did not write the name clearly, he thought that those things were ordinary things. Unexpectedly, just these boxes of clothing are worth a lot of money.

Yan Qingge looked at Aunt Hai's greedy eyes, smiled maliciously at her, opened another cage, reached out and fished out a small vertical box from it, and ordered to sweep the snow: "Bring the celadon plate on the Baibao Pavilion in my house." ”

The large disk was the size of a washbasin, and the waist was very deep, and it was only used for decoration.

Yan Qingge called Tingxue to hold the plate, opened the mouth of the box, and poured it in, only to see the pearls pouring like a waterfall, falling on the plate, making a jingling and crisp sound, and soon spread the bottom of the plate.

This plate of pearls, each the size of a dragon's eye, round and smooth, there are about a hundred, stacked on the plate, everyone who looks at it is dumbfounded - but these pearls are only afraid that they can be worth tens of thousands of gold.

Yan Qingge shook the vertical box in his hand, put it down to show people that it was empty, and then poured the pearl back and put it away.

Then, she took out another box and grabbed it at random, and it was full of strings of pearls, although they were not as good as the loose beads just now, but they were also worth a lot.

Yan Qingge's small hands kept stopping, and he couldn't stop taking out all kinds of small boxes from this big box, all of which were extremely valuable pearl treasures. The celadon plate, which itself is not worth much money, is in the limelight today, and it is poured into pearls and gems for a while, and jade and agate for a while, which is dizzying.

Since then, every box she opened made Aunt Hai and Yan Shuyu's eyes a little redder, and in the end, it seemed to be burning.

In these boxes, some are jewelry and jewelry, some are precious ornaments, some are extremely precious medicinal materials, and some are daily things, but they are not ordinary, even the soup woman who warms her feet is made of gold and gemstones.

After dozens of boxes were opened, everyone's eyes were straight. With such a rich dowry, I am afraid that the princess will be enough to get married.

And in these things, there is indeed no snake molt.

When Yan Qingge asked someone to carry the cage back, Aunt Hai almost couldn't control herself and pounced. There was a voice in her heart shouting, those things, sooner or later, would be hers.

As soon as the official arrived, they took chains, shackles, and water and fire sticks, locked up the bearded woman who was paralyzed on the ground, and immediately took it away and put him in prison without asking any questions.

The messy cages in Yan Qingge's yard had not yet been cleaned up, and Yan Xiuyu stood in the courtyard with a frown, his extremely beautiful little face full of displeasure.

Except for Yan Qingge, everyone else in the Yan family stood aside and ate Yan Xiuyu's stinky face, and they didn't dare to move at all. Aunt Chu, who had never shown her face just now, also came, standing beside Yan Songnian, looking like she was living and dying together, advancing and retreating together.

Yan Xiuyu took a few steps back and forth and said, "Why are you taking advantage of my master's exam to bully Sister Qingge." ”

Yan Songnian regretted that he had listened to Hu Pozi's instigation, came to search Yan Qingge's room, sweated profusely, and said, "Little Lord Yan, this matter was originally a misunderstanding. That mother-in-law is my mother-in-law, and her daughter-in-law ......."

"Say no more! I don't like to hear it! Yan Xiuyu waved his hand and said, "I bullied people, and there is a reason." That's what I hate the likes of you. ”

Seeing that his eyes were not good, Yan Songnian sighed in his heart, knowing that this little prince Yan had a bad temper, he only liked to use his hands but not his mouth, and his nerves all over his body were tense.

Unexpectedly, Yan Xiuyu didn't make a move, just stared at his face, looked at his hair, and finally said, "Since you don't like the Yan family's sister, I'll take her away." None of you are allowed to enter this courtyard, and I will send someone to look at it, lest any of you search the house again. ”

It's rare that Yan Xiuyu didn't make a move, but he just wanted Yan Qingge to leave, but Yan Songnian was not used to it, and he always felt that this matter was not over.

Yan Qingge choked up in his heart, packed up his simple things, took Ruyi, and left with Yan Xiuyu.
