Ninety: Dowry
"I'll give me an honest answer if you tell you to say it!" Su Yao's sudden sound startled the magpie.
So she only said it according to what Cao Qianlian taught her before, 1510.
"The slave's family used to be neighbors with the little Taoist's parents, and then the little Taoist's family was defeated, and his parents moved away and sent him to Daoshan, and it was also by chance that the slave went to see him, and then learned that he was there."
"And how long have you known each other?"
"Almost seven or eight years, or eight or nine? The slave and maid don't remember much. ”
Su Yao's fingers tapped rhythmically on the table, and there was silence for a while, and then he suddenly asked, "Then I went to that mountain to look for it, why is the little Taoist missing?" The Taoist said that he abducted and deceived several families and was expelled by him? ”
The magpie obviously didn't expect him to look for the little Taoist priest again, and his face turned white.
"I'm asking you!"
"Slave... The slave and the maid don't know, the slave and the maid are not familiar with the little Taoist, if he is abducted and deceived, the slave and the maid will not know..."
"If you didn't lie to me, then why did the Taoist priest immediately say that there was something dirty in Qinzhuxuan after he came? Is it a trick used by your lady, explain it clearly! ”
The two maids knelt on the ground and kowtowed their heads violently, not daring to raise their heads.
The cuckoo cried, "Your lord, you are wise and decisive! The second lady is still lingering on the sickbed and the pain is unbearable, and she coughed up blood again, and the night before yesterday, she also explained the aftermath with the two girls and Brother Xiao'er, if you use a plan, why bother? Lord, lady, she really can't do it, don't wronged the lady again! ”
Su Yao clenched his fists tightly, he knew that what his eleventh daughter said was basically the truth, but he couldn't be completely sure that what the Cao family said was all lies.
After all, the little Taoist priest is gone, maybe he came to deceive the Su family, so what if the Cao family was also deceived by him?
But then he couldn't explain why he noticed something in Qinzhuxuan as soon as he came.
Is it really like the eleventh daughter said, there are unclean hands and feet around her?
"You guys step down first, take good care of the second lady, and if anything happens, get out of the Su family!"
The two maids kowtowed repeatedly.
After a few days, the weather was much warmer, and the snow began to melt in some places.
Su Yingxiao and a few other brothers went to Chang Xizhai to greet the old lady, Su Yao made the old lady angry, and he didn't forgive him until now, and he still didn't see him.
Su Yunyao's face is almost good, in fact, it is not too serious, but her face is too thin and tender, and the two slaps can't be beaten, swollen and broken, and it looks scary.
Su Yingchen only knew about what was going on outside, he knew that his mother was lying and framing his eleventh sister, so he was distressed, and asked Su Yunyao a few words about how he was okay.
Su Yingxiao next to her was a little unsightly.
"Eighth brother, what's wrong with you, when will she be a ruthless woman who needs you to pay attention? It's our mother, she almost killed her, and I didn't see you doing your filial piety at the bedside. ”
Su Yingchen smiled reluctantly, he really didn't have a good impression of his brother with the same father and mother, "We all know it in our hearts, why should the big brother be aggressive?" My brother just feels sorry for my sister's face, don't be beaten up. ”
"What do you mean?" Su Yingxiao narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at him, "You mean that the eleventh sister is preparing to kill our mother, is it my mother's fault?" What exactly is the meaning of how to know in the heart? I don't know! She wants to kill someone, but it's your own mother who kills, you unfilial thing! ”
Su Yingchen didn't want to quarrel with him, so he didn't speak.
didn't admit that Su Yingxiao looked down on him more and more, and her voice was a little higher, "I think her face should have sores and pus, and she deserves to be married for the rest of her life!" Something with a heart like a femme fatale! ”
"Big brother!" Su Yingchen couldn't help it, and stopped at the exit, "Yun'er is our sister, and she has the same bloodline as you, why do you want to slander her so much!" ”
"Don't forget that you were born to a mother!" Su Yingxiao took the case, apparently preparing to teach his own brother a lesson.
The brother is so tense, but he is angry with the old lady.
"Shut up! The second lady is a liar, and the flower intestines in her stomach are turned out and weighed two pounds heavier than her! If you don't know how to bully your younger siblings like this, don't go to my old lady's courtyard in the future! ”
Hearing her grandmother scold her mother like this, Su Yingxiao immediately blushed, "Grandmother really can't tolerate my mother, my mother was almost killed by a slut, and now everyone in the family says it's my mother's fault, I don't think there is justice in this world at all!" ”
Hearing this, Su Yunyao couldn't hold back any longer.
"Big brother, you keep saying that I killed the second lady, but what about the evidence?"
"Of course, it's the wooden man in your room, and the maid named Zhaolu!"
Su Yunyao smiled faintly, "The Taoist priest who found out the wooden man has been confirmed to live by being abducted and deceived by the pit, who can believe what he said?" As for Zhaolu, she recruited them all under several boards, saying that she had never entered my house at all, and the claim that she saw me as a wood maker was also self-defeating, so how can there be evidence now? ”
Su Yao has made a confession in the past few days, but he didn't let people kill her, because he wanted to save her life.
Naturally, it's also for Cao Qianlian.
If she knew that she was really going to die, she would definitely tell everything, then the confession of Cao's mother and daughter was also a matter of blink of an eye, even if she wanted to return Su Yunyao's innocence, Su Yao didn't want the evil deeds of Cao's mother and daughter to be exposed.
However, in his heart, Cao's mother and daughter are already like snakes and scorpions, and I am afraid that they will not be able to be pampered more in the future.
Su Yingxiao was stunned back, still unconvinced on her face, and kept glaring at her.
"That Zhaolu was arranged by the eldest lady to do rough work on the Zhuangzi, and no one is allowed to mention this matter in the future!" The old lady said with a calm face: "Brother Xiao'er, who do you think you blame for not being admitted to the exam now?" It's not all your mother's fault! If she hadn't let you dissipate when she was young, and she would have pleaded in front of your father when you got into trouble, why would you still be just a white ding? Fortunately, Brother Chen'er was not raised by her side, so she didn't have to teach the good seedlings badly! ”
Su Yingxiao's cheeks were flushed, and he threw his sleeves away without saying a word, which can be said to be uneducated and unruly to the extreme.
But the old lady is not like him sulking, he has always been like this, he was taught by the second lady, he has been living in Yingxiaju when he was a child, and he moved to Lin Manju when he became a child, and it is not surprising that his temperament and style are like Cao Qianlian.
It's Su Yingchen, it can be said that she doesn't like it, and she doesn't look down on him because he is Cao Qianlian's son.
When he was young, he followed the old lady and the eldest lady, and lived in Yu Hongyuan for a while, and then Cao Qianlian insisted on asking his son to go to her courtyard, in order to be around, the old lady was worried that he would also become a person who could not do anything like his eldest brother, so he took him to Chang Xizhai to live for a few years, and when he was older, he went to live in Cangbai Pavilion.
Fortunately, the old lady had the foresight and did not let Su Yingchen, a good seedling, grow crooked.
At the beginning of spring, Cao Qianlian's illness had been cured, but Su Yao went to her hospital only a handful of times, but she liked to go to Tianningxuan more and more.
Cao Qianlian would not sit still, so she went to Yu Hongyuan for several nights in a row, once Su Yao was stopped by her on the way to Tianningxuan at night, crying and crying that her chest was tight, and Su Yao just helped her and she fell into her arms.
The old lady forgave her son in the end, where is the overnight feud between mother and son? Moreover, Su Yao had already returned Su Yunyao's innocence, and apologized to her, saying that he had misunderstood her.
To the outside world, it was said that the Taoist priest of the Taoist temple lied and deceived people and framed Su Yunyao.
Although he did not expose the crimes of Cao's mother and daughter, Su Yunyao knew that their relationship was not as good as before.
When the snow began to melt in a large area, the ice lanterns on the lake could no longer stand, and Yingqiu Lake closed the lake, saying that the ice lanterns had melted, and no one was allowed to come for the time being.
The Sheng family really came to the Su family at the beginning of the spring to propose marriage, and the people who came this time were still the three children of the Sheng family, Ning Guogong was busy because of state affairs, otherwise he would have come, it was the lord of Shuyang who came for him, and it was the woman's family who knew about these things.
"I liked it when I saw Qian Yao for the first time, this child has a good appearance and good temperament, and when he marries into our Sheng family in the future, he will definitely have a good husband and children, my brother Yu is a blessed one!" Lord Shuyang said with a smile.
Sheng Changyu is good, she is good, and the rumored thing that she loves her son like her life is not fake.
Qin Manhuai also laughed, "Lord Shuyang said that he laughed, it is a blessing for Qian'er to be able to marry Brother Yu!" ”
Several carriages were loaded for the dowry, and the road in front of the Su family was occupied.
Su Huiyao couldn't go to the front to see, she knew that the county lord of Shuyang had regarded her as a thorn in her side, so she asked Liu's mother to inquire.
This inquiry is terrible, the dowry given to Su Qianyao is more valuable than the dowry given to Su Peiyao by the Xiao family.
The green jade plating of the dragon and the fish leap sent twelve pieces, the three-open screen with the gourd and the ruby pattern sent a pair, symbolizing the prosperity of the family, endlessly, and the white jade hanging large vase with the pattern of the mandarin duck in the lotus pond, which was half a person high, sent two pairs, four pairs of white jade relief four swallow pattern walls, a pair of jade relief leaf pattern bracelets of the Su family, a pair of jasper weaver girl picture inserts, two pearl agate strings of tribute outside, and the delicious treasures of the royal gift were enough to fill two carriages.
There is also the coral of the West Sea tribute, which is carried in by the four small guys, such a good thing is not often seen in the palace, the hollow leaf gold ornament is heavy, and there is a red cloth to cover it in the sun, otherwise it has to be blind, turquoise is a bad baby, but the Ningguo Mansion actually used turquoise to string a whole necklace, saying that this chain is specially given to the old lady.
In addition to these things that Su Huiyao has never seen and heard and rarely heard, there are also many seafood in the dowry, all of which are brought in by ice cubes in boxes, and a small guy holds three boxes in both hands, and he is stunned that six or seven small guys have moved back and forth for four or five times before finishing moving.
