Chapter 014: Hooking the Fish

After practicing swords with Xia Mu, Wei Chengxuan took a bath and rested in Guangyuan Tea House by the way. Within a few days, Wei Shizi did not return home at night, and the matter of wandering outside was like growing wings, and it spread all over the streets and alleys of Kyoto.

When Song Xun went down to court, he was stopped by King Anping, and the two exchanged a few words. After returning home, Song Xun went to the Ramie Courtyard, and asked about the meeting between Song Li and Princess Anping that day, after Song Li returned, Song Xun stroked the eight-character beard, and was very satisfied with Song Li's success in getting closer to the relationship with the Anping Palace, "Today, the prince of Anping and I chatted a few words, and the princess of Anping is still thinking about you after returning to the house. ”

Song Li's hand holding the teacup shook, almost spilling the tea.

Getting married? That person doesn't want to marry him at all? But in the face of her father, Song Li couldn't say a word to refute. She only felt that this seemed like God was deliberately sarcastic about her, the marriage of the two lives was bumpy, should she take the initiative to give up and live alone for the rest of her life?

After Song Xun left, Bao Sui walked over with a cleaned moon-white silk pomegranate skirt, "Master, this is specially to visit you, Miss, don't be angry." ”

Angry? What are you angry about?

Baosui looked at Song Li with a blank face, and while arranging her dress, she said in a casual manner, "It is rumored that Wei Shizi did not return at night a few days ago, and he was messing around outside......

Halfway through the conversation, Baosui came back to her senses, covered her mouth and looked at Song Li.

Is this the kind of thing again? Song Li put down the teacup, but was surprised to find that he was not very angry, on the contrary, he had some faint expectations in his heart, hoping that Wei Chengxuan would continue to mess around like this, in this way, even if he likes Liao Lan, Liao Mansion will not be able to agree easily, and he will not be able to shirk the marriage contract of Song Mansion at that time, and he can marry him justifiably, and when he sits in the position of the princess, it will be more helpful to find out the truth.

Bao Sui was very confused by Song Li, who had a calm face, isn't this worth being angry about?

"If you don't work hard, you're stunned." Baoyue came back from outside and rewarded Baosui with a burst chestnut.

Bao Sui covered his head, snorted at Song Li, and whispered to Bao Yue for a while.

After listening to Bao Sui's doubts, Bao Yue paused, not only Bao Sui, but even she couldn't understand Miss anymore. When she drew a clear line with Lin Gongzi before, Baoyue supported Miss without reservation in her heart.

Song Li is fifteen years old this year, and the marriage contract with the Anping Mansion is estimated to be a matter of the past two years.

Baoyue knows the rumors about Wei Shizi, but in her limited cognition, Anping Wangfu is the best destination for Song Li, and it is a bargaining chip that cannot be given up, even if Wei Shizi has all kinds of rumors, but it is the nephew of Emperor Dachu, the son of Anping Wangfu, and there is a marriage contract with such a family, how many people can't dream of it! And after getting married, if Wei Shizi accepts his heart, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?

Baoyue originally thought that if Miss couldn't think about it one day, she could persuade a few words like this, but the strange thing was that Miss never talked about any opinion of Wei Shizi. When she saw Wei Shizi in the palace, the young lady looked at Wei Shizi's eyes indescribably complicated, not like disgust, not like joy, not like sadness.

"Did you find everything I asked you to look for?" Song Li saw Baoyue, who was stunned, and asked.

Bao Sui nudged Bao Yue.

Baoyue came back to her senses, "I found it, I found all the things that Miss said, and it costs about two hundred taels of silver to buy them all." ”

That's easy, Song Li nodded, "You take the money from the money box and buy the things back in batches." Remember, don't let anyone find out. ”

Baoyue nodded, as if she couldn't understand Miss's attitude towards Wei Shizi, and now she couldn't even figure out what Miss asked her to do.

"Miss, there are only two hundred taels left in the money box, can't you settle the accounts of Wei Shizi's things?" Baoyue mentioned Wei Chengxuan in a roundabout way.

"Just the forbidden step on the clothes will cost fifty taels, and the fox fur cloak, what do you say?" Song Li fiddled with the silk in her hand without a match, and after she came back from the palace, she had been thinking about how to return the money to Wei Chengxuan.

Of course, she doesn't have much savings, and if you want to say that her biggest source of money is the Yue family's dowry. In his previous life, although Song Li knew it in his heart, he never took it to heart, and even handed over the matter of buying a dowry when he got married to the Liu family.

Thinking about it now, the Liu clan should have taken all the good things left by the Yue clan a long time ago. These days, Song Li recalled it carefully, went to the warehouse, and sure enough, there were only some scattered jewelry left.

Yue's dowry is not much, there is no grange shop, only some antique calligraphy and paintings, the rest are jewelry, and the remaining jewelry found in the treasury that day is worth about five hundred taels.

And those antiques, there are only seven, seven, eight or eight left. Song Li counted the things, most of the things that were taken away belonged to the fancy looking, in fact, they were not worth a few dollars, but there was a picture of Dai Chong's koi, a Xiuyan jade seal, and a kang screen embroidered on both sides of rosewood, and these three things were at least nearly 10,000 taels.

If you can get these things back, Yue's dowry will be saved, and then you can take the same to the pawnshop to exchange for silver taels, not only can you pay off Wei Chengxuan's debts, but also buy some properties in the future, and you don't have to live a stretched life, and you don't even have money to buy a decent dress.

"That suit is so expensive!" Baoyue was speechless, thinking about Song Li's thoughts, "Then what does the young lady do with those things?" ”

"Of course it's useful." Song Li smiled mysteriously, "By the way, when you go out, send this to the Lin Mansion by the way." ”

Lin Mansion? Baoyue took it, although it was an ordinary post, but Baoyue was still reluctant, what did she do to provoke Lin Mansion if she had nothing to do?

Song Li looked at Baoyue with her cheeks half-propped up, and suddenly smiled, "Don't worry, this is my bait, if you don't invite someone over, how can the big fish take the bait?" ”

Baoyue saw Miss Chengzhu's expression in her chest, although she hesitated, she still carefully completed the things that Song Li commanded.

On the side of the Lai Fang Courtyard, Song Yu has been keeping a calm face after returning from the palace, and the maids and women in the courtyard are holding their breath, not even daring to take a breath.

On this day, Song Yu was combing her makeup, looking at herself in the mirror, and suddenly remembered Song Li's sentence "There is no shame", gritted her teeth and threw the ebony comb in her hand to the ground, and felt angry, so she stepped on it a few more times before giving up.

Song Li is something! If it weren't for the family affair that the Yue family, who had died early, had set for her, what would she have to publicize!

"Stop!" Outside the house, the cuckoo lowered its anxious voice.

Song Yu heard it, raised his eyebrows and shouted, "What's the noise!" ”

"Nothing." Du Juan didn't expect Song Yu to hear it, and there was a slight tremor in his voice.

The fire in Song Yu's stomach was not finished yet, as soon as he pushed the dressing table, he walked to the outer courtyard in a few steps, glared at the cuckoo and said, "What are you yelling about!" ”

"Miss forgiveness." Du Juan was only slapped twice by Song Yu in the morning, and at this moment he was so frightened that he fell to his knees, "Young Master Cousin is here, this little girl is going to report to Miss, so the slave maid is in a hurry to let her stop." ”

"Brother Jia is coming to the house?" Song Yu was overjoyed at first, and then said angrily, "Why are you holding back from me,!" ”

The cuckoo's head was buried lower, and it took a while to hold back a sentence, "After the young master entered the mansion, he went directly to the ramie courtyard." ”
