Ninety-three: Embarrassed
The gangsters who killed Liu He and lost his child before have been arrested for so long and have not made any names, Su Yao is a little disappointed in the government.
But he also knows that if those villains are not powerful, and they haven't shown their feet yet? On that day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, people came and went on the street, and the soldiers of the government only found two night-walking clothes outside the wall of the Su family, suspecting that the gangster had blended into the crowd and was nowhere to be found.
Since there is no hope of arresting people, they can only start with the thieves in the house.
But who will the thief be? Su Yao felt a headache.
The old lady mentioned this matter again in the morning, and Su Yao stroked her forehead, "Mother, this matter is really not easy to handle." ”
"I also know it's not easy to do, that person didn't leave traces and clues, you can't catch it for a while."
"It's good for a mother to be compassionate."
"But you have to step up your work, Qian'er is about to get married, don't go wrong at a critical time."
Su Yao nodded again and again, "Speaking of which, the Sheng family is really a good marriage, and Qian'er is a blessed child." ”
"I can't count whether there is a blessing or not, but as long as the Cao family doesn't make a moth, Qian'er's marriage can go smoothly, and you have to pay attention to Yingxiaju during this time."
When Su Yao heard Cao Qianlian, the expression on his face became weird for a while, and he nodded after a while.
Sheng Guizhi took Sheng Guiyan to Su Mansion to play, saying that Jubao Zhai had created a lot of fresh jewelry, and wanted to take a look with a few girls.
Su Qianyao is about to get married, so she should buy some new jewelry.
So, Qian, Yun, and Mo also took Su Wanyao from Tingningxuan together, and got into the carriage with Sheng Guizhi and Sheng Guiyan and went to Jubaozhai.
Su Sheng's two families have become in-laws, and the people in Dijing have basically heard of this, and the eldest princess's mansion naturally knows about it.
Liu Juetong has a good impression of Sheng Changyu, but he doesn't want him to say that he likes the girl of the Su family, not only that, but he even proposed marriage after the beginning of spring.
She was angry for several days, and she had a serious illness, she didn't get well in the year, her face was sallow, sometimes she couldn't sleep, and the dark circles under her eyes were particularly obvious.
So the maid next to her persuaded her to go out for a walk and take a turn, so that she could relax and feel more comfortable.
Liu Tingtong felt that this was fine, so he prepared to go to Jubaozhai to look at the jewelry and buy some things to vent the resentment in his heart.
The lobby on the first floor of Jubao Zhai is very spacious, with several counters set up, gold cloth on the square plate, and hairpins and hairpins on the top are lined up for people to choose.
As soon as she entered the door on the first floor, Su Wanyao was shocked by the luxury here.
Turning left and right, Su Qianyao's gaze stayed on a white jade lotus pendant, and just reached out to pick it up, but heard an unfamiliar voice next to her.
Actually, it's not a stranger, she's heard it, but she doesn't have any impression.
"Miss Su really has a good eye, and even the selection of hairpins is the same as mine." Liu Juetong looked at her with wide eyes, although there was a smile on the corner of her mouth, but there was no shortage of guns and sticks in her words.
Aren't the two of them the same, and they both like the Sheng family's son-in-law.
The road is narrow, and I met it again in this Jubao Zhai.
Su Qianyao smiled, "Miss Liu originally liked this hairpin, I see that there are other white jade fancy steps there, why don't you take a look?" ”
Liu Juetong stepped forward, "But I like this one!" ”
"Isn't the girl going to rob?" Su Qianyao was a little helpless, "There has to be a first-come, first-come, first-served hairpin, if the girl likes it, there are other fancy styles next to it." ”
But Liu Lingtong still didn't give up: "Who said that you fancy it first?" Obviously, I took a look at it first, but you snatched it quickly! ”
"It's not your thing, why grab it?" Although Su Qianyao was unhappy in her heart, she still didn't want to quarrel with her, so she was ready to put Bu Yao back in place.
Liu Lingtong looked at it coldly, and when she saw that she turned around to go elsewhere, she changed her words, "But I don't win people's love, since Miss Su likes it, then take it, I'll take a look at the side." ”
It's not good to refute her face, Su Qianyao thanked her, picked up the hairpin and turned around to leave.
"Miss Su stays." Liu Yingtong smiled evilly, "It's a pity that I look at those fancy styles, either they are not new, or they don't suit my heart, just this white lotus looks pleasing to the eye, I came here to buy a white lotus-style jewelry, can the girl let me?" ”
This time back and forth, is it to play with her?
Su Qianyao felt her hostility, and finally sighed, put back the jewelry, and gave it to her.
Sheng Guiyan was choosing jewelry from a distance at this time, and noticed the two of them, but Liu Juetong obviously didn't see her, so she found Sheng Guizhi.
"Since it was Sister Qianyao who took a fancy to it first, it was hers, why did she give it to you?" Sheng Guizhi was very impulsive when he opened his mouth, and he didn't give Liu Yutong face at all.
Seeing that the Sheng family was also there, Liu Yutong's face changed, last time she was here because of Su Qianyao, she had already been reprimanded by Sheng Guizhi, and now she met again, how could she give her face?
"But Miss Qianyao has already said to give it to me, Sister Sheng, don't talk about me..."
"She said let it be given to you, I didn't say it, I just heard what you said and fell in love with this one, Sister Qianyao couldn't save face to give it to you, it didn't make sense, and you pay attention to doing things first, first, first, you better go and see the side."
This involuntary attitude made the people who also chose jewelry next to him look back, Liu Juetong's face turned red and white, and some of them couldn't get off the stage.
"Isn't this Liu Yingtong from the Eldest Princess's Mansion? She has always been proud of her talents, why is she still competing with others for jewelry? It's really not like her character! ”
There were other voices on the side, "I heard that this Liu Juetong is not fragrant now, Liu Yuma is also her brother, a few days ago when he entered the palace and said the wrong thing and was reprimanded by the emperor, I heard that the eldest princess has been in a cold war with him for a long time, and even Liu Juetong is not welcome." ”
"Be quiet, don't let her hear!"
Although the sound of this rustling was not loud, it all entered Liu Yutong's ears.
She secretly clenched her fists under her sleeves, burning with rage.
"This hairpin was originally my first fancy, and my arm is not that long, but she took it first!" Liu Juetong raised his tone and said.
Sheng Guizhi didn't expect her to talk back, and immediately became angry, "You mean you're still reasonable?" According to you, those who didn't buy things have to be snatched back? ”
"I didn't mean that!" Liu Juetong didn't want to argue with Sheng Guizhi, first, she didn't dare, and second, it was unnecessary, she targeted Su Qianyao, "It's just that they are all girls from big families in Beijing, and it is etiquette to be humble to each other, why can't Miss Qianyao let me go?" Anyway, I'm the one who called your sister! ”
She kicked Su Qianyao, and her anger could be seen in her eyes.
Sheng Guizhi protected Su Qianyao behind her, "You called her sister, she didn't respond, let me tell you, she is my future sister-in-law, no one can bully her!" The first one to pick is the first to pick, if you have a reason, go to the government and say, see who Lord Yin will award this hairpin to! ”
Hearing the words 'future sister-in-law', Liu Lingtong was like a thunderbolt on the top of her head, and her smile couldn't hold back anymore.
It just so happened that Su Yunyao, Su Moyao, and Su Wanyao approached, Su Wanyao raised her eyes and looked at Liu Xuantong, she was frightened by her eyes, and hurriedly lowered her head again.
This cowardly, at first glance, you know that she is not treated well at home, and she must be a concubine!
Liu Lingtong thought of a way in her heart, and it happened that she was not far from Su Wanyao, so she picked up the hairpin and handed it to Su Wanyao, "I look at this girl's face, I'll hand over this hairpin to you, Sister Su and Sister Sheng are quite hostile to me, and I am also helpless..."
Su Wanyao didn't dare to make a sound, but everyone stretched out their hands, so they had to stretch out their hands and take it.
Before Su Yunyao could stop her, she heard a crisp sound, and the white jade lotus pendant shook on the ground and shattered, the lotus-shaped white jade fell into the shape of a flower, and the round white jade pendant rolled far away.
Before Su Wanyao could catch it, Liu Lingtong let go, so the hairpin fell to the ground.
Su Wanyao was so frightened that she took two steps back, she knew that the things in this treasure house were not cheap, some of them were extravagant for her to even look at, and she didn't know how much this broken thing was...
For a while, a lot of thoughts broke into her mind, and she was so scared that she didn't dare to come out.
can't bully Sheng Guizhi's future sister-in-law, the sister-in-law who bullied her future sister-in-law, right? Liu Xuantong shouted: "What are you doing!" I kindly gave the hairpin to Sister Su, but you broke it for me! ”
"I didn't... I didn't..."Su Wanyao's anxious tears were about to come out, "I didn't mean it, it's the girl, you let go too quickly." ”
"Or is it my fault?" Liu Yutong gave Su Wanyao all the anger that she didn't dare to be angry with Su Qianyao, and shouted, "You are really very well-behaved!" Something that can't be on the table! ”
Beating around the bush can be regarded as scolding Su Qianyao.
Liu Juetong had just passed his addiction at this time, and he saw the steward of Jubaozhai approaching.
Since they broke it, they had to pay to plug the hole.
Liu Juetong is reluctant to pay for it, otherwise she wouldn't do that.
"Obviously, you let go too quickly to let the hairpin fall to the ground, why are you relying on others at this time?" Su Moyao asked.
"She can't pick up anything, what is she doing with me? Your Su family is really full of people, reversing black and white! ”
The people on the side all put down the things in their hands and watched the excitement.
The steward didn't want to let the girl of your family quarrel in his shop, so he immediately persuaded him, "A few girls are kind, this hairpin is not expensive, forty-five taels of silver is enough, you see if you are evenly divided or what, after all, there is a discussion, say it well." ”
Forty-five taels? This amount of money may not be much in the Sheng family and the Liu family, but in Su Wanyao's heart, it is an astronomical amount.
How long does it take her to save up? This Jubao Zhai is really not a place where ordinary people can come, and it is so outrageously expensive!
After another long time of arguing, Liu Xuantong's strong and unreasonable attitude was angry Su Qianyao's chest was tight, and Su Moyao wanted to beat her with a cloth bag, but she couldn't do it yet.
And Su Wanyao was afraid, knowing that it was because of herself that she was like this, so frightened that tears broke out of the corners of her eyes.
