Chapter 51: Misunderstood hush money

The next day, Ruan Qingyan did not come to the door in person, it is said that when he was sparring with the guards, he was injured by the guards and had to recuperate for a few days before he could get up - but Lian Jianhai was accompanied by his son Lian Ding, and as soon as the greetings passed, he straightforwardly mentioned the matter.

The father and son of the Lian family are not as choked as Ruan Qingyan, but their polite attitude is still difficult to hide their toughness.

Qiu Mengmin and his wife both know that this must be related to the current troubles of the Ding Yang family, as well as the Jiang family brothers and Princess Chunfu have come forward to support Qiu Yulan - these people and things have given the Lian family enough confidence, and they want to get closer to Qiu Yulan.

And the Xihe Mansion once again became their vote.

"It's really ashamed to say that the dog's wedding is just around the corner, and the family is inevitably tight. Two days ago, I began to take stock of the makeup of the concubine and Ruan brother and sister, and even asked those things who betrayed the owner to take advantage of the loopholes, and yesterday they burned the warehouse! ”

In this case, although Qiu Mengmin couldn't be rude because of the identity of his mother's family, his attitude was difficult to warm up, and he said in a salty and nonchalant manner, "I think they are afraid of being held responsible, and now the suspects have been tied up outside and waiting to be dealt with...... Fortunately, there is a list of your two families, and I am not afraid of wronging my niece. ”

When the father and son of the Lian family heard that the treasury was burned, they all thought that Qiu Mengmin was planning to repay the debt, and their faces had sunk, but the peak turned around, and Qiu Mengmin was about to admit it before he even saw the Fang family.

"That list of things...... relieved to breathe a sigh of relief, but Lian Jianhai was worried that Qiu Mengmin was just a delaying tactic, delaying again and again, admitting the account is equivalent to not admitting it, and taking advantage of the situation to ask for a specific date.

Qiu Mengmin was also refreshed: "Now that the dog's life is not a few days away, my cousin also knows that this is my eldest son, and the Ding family is now involved in right and wrong - if this eye bone frees up people to account for the industry, the affairs of the two children are too cold." And the niece is not yet out of the cabinet, I want to wait for the daughter-in-law to pass the door, and then convert it to the niece according to the list, after all, it will not make the niece suffer, how about it? ”

Lian Jianhai frowned for a moment when he heard this, and then said: "I don't suffer a loss in terms of value, but the things left by the concubine and Princess Ruan can be used as thoughts." ”

Qiu Mengmin and his wife were moved when they heard this, and their faces showed regret: "Because I have never seen the dowry list of the concubine and Ruan brother and sister, the concubine went suddenly, and many things have not been explained-so after the account book has been lost, we really don't know which ones are nieces and which ones are in the house." Now that the treasury has burned again, the commission can't check it. ”

Lian Jianhai didn't know their calculations, he said this as a scene: after all, it is natural for a woman's dowry to be left to her own flesh and blood, but in this year, it is better to say bluntly "That's my money" than to say "Those are the thoughts left by my grandmother and mother" to show filial piety.

Second, seeing that Qiu Mengmin did not shirk, he speculated that he was afraid of the Jiang family, so he had the idea of taking advantage of the fire to rob, thinking about whether he could also knock on a hush money by taking advantage of the situation?

Now seeing that Qiu Mengmin and his wife came up with a reason to move out, Lian Jianhai pretended to be embarrassed: "Isn't there a few left?" Even if you didn't wronged the child in terms of value, it wasn't the original thing of the concubine and Princess Ruan? ”

The more he said this, the more Qiu Mengmin and his wife decided that those things were really related to the big head industry of Xihe Wangfu, where were they willing to take it out? So he insisted on nothing-after being repeatedly questioned by Lian Jianhai, Qiu Mengmin simply admitted that he was "not well kept", and offered to compensate the Lian family and the Ruan family: "The original things are really unusable." ”

According to Qiu Mengmin's meaning, he said this in order to plug Lian Jianhai's mouth - the dowry was lost according to the price, although it was not the original thing, but it was also compensated, after all, there was no dowry list before, and Qiu Mengmin took over the palace halfway, so it is understandable that he can't tell which ones should be given to Qiu Yulan.

If the Ruan family and the Lian family continue to insist on the original, it would be too aggressive not to say a reason.

Lian Jianhai didn't know that he had taken a hitchhike on a whim, and he had such a misunderstanding, he achieved his goal, and said a few words of the scene with satisfaction, and he didn't care anymore.

…… The preconceived Qiu Mengmin couple felt that it was because Lian Jianhai was afraid of arousing his suspicions.

In short, both sides concluded the consultation with their own thoughts.

When the results of the consultation were reported to Qiu Yulan, Zhou's mother, Su He and others were very happy: "It can be regarded as eyebrows!" ”

"The old slave also said in the morning that the county lord fell and injured his foot yesterday, and his cousin was also injured by the guard, could it be that the prince was unwilling and made a secret hand?" Zhou's mother said, "Now it seems to be bitter first and then sweet." ”

Qiu Yulan smiled weakly: "My injury is fine, anyway, I don't need to go out recently...... It's Mr. Shao's side, how many steps is it for? ”

"Don't!" Mother Zhou said busily, "It's not bad for so many days, you are still lying down, although you didn't hurt your bones this time, it's not light!" If you leave a trouble, you will be in trouble! ”

scolded Su He again, "The county lord can't sleep at night, and if you want to go out for a walk, you should be careful when you accompany the county lord!" The county lord didn't wake us up immediately, and waited until dawn to report - if it weren't for the county lord protecting you, you would have to smoke something that you don't fight! ”

Su He obediently admitted his mistake: "It's the granddaughter who didn't serve the county lord well." ”

"Well, you can't blame Su He for it." Qiu Lulan shrank her head - her foot injury was dealt with by the Jiang Yashuang Gang, and in order to hide it from Zhou's mother and others, she could only quietly call Su He as a cover.

Seeing Su He being scolded at this moment, she was ashamed in her heart, and hurriedly spoke for her, "It's also my own fault, and I suddenly want to climb the pear tree to play, Su He persuaded him, but he didn't persuade him." ”

"It's not the old slave nagging, but the county lord, you are a daughter, the first prince and the first princess are gone, if you don't take care of yourself......" Zhou's mother sighed, and began to persuade her not to mess around in the future - Qiu Yulan smiled until her face stiffened, and then sent Zhou's mother away.

She sent out spring dyeing and summer dyeing, leaving Su He alone to speak: "I have wronged you." ”

Su He looked at her who stretched out his hand to rub her face, and pouted: "It's nothing-but can you stop making trouble anymore, county lord?" ”

"It was an accident,...... Qiu Yulan muttered a little unconfident, "I haven't been injured before, have I?" ”

Su He said angrily: "But now it's been a mess until the middle of the night, who else do you want to marry?" Princess Chunfu came over, although you sent the servant away, but the servant can guess that the princess and what you said must have something to do with General Jiang! You've only met Her Highness the Princess a few times, and you've only said kind things - can she be so zealous for you? The maid saw that the last time the two sons of the Jiang family came to the door, it was not the meaning of Princess Chunfu, I am afraid that Princess Chunfu came over today but it was the meaning of General Jiang Xiao, right? ”

Qiu Yulan rubbed his forehead: "Okay, since you have to say this, then I might as well tell you: Princess Chunfu did come here for Jiang Yashuang." It's just that I never expected that even Mr. Shao had something to do with this matter. ”

Su Yi was surprised: "Mr. Shao?!" What does the Jiang family mean by this? ”

"Look at what I mean." Qiu Yulan snorted, "Earlier, Jiang Yashuang was quite sympathetic because that lion cat knew about my situationβ€”he didn't mean anything elseβ€”but isn't he a man?" It's inconvenient to help me openly, so I ask his sisters to take care of it. However, his sisters and sisters-in-law misunderstood me and thought he had taken a fancy to me! As a result, Mr. Shao was sent over as a spy. ”

Su He was stunned for a long time before he said, "This Jiang family...... How can this Jiang family be like this?! How can you say that you are also the county lord, even if you are invited to meet at the table, what is it that all these people are sent to the house?! "Even the royal concubine is chosen, and it is not said that someone will be sent to the house of the person to be selected for a close and long-term observation!

This is too much to take Qiu Yulan into account!

"Jiang Banchao!" Qiu Yulan sneered, "Last time in Yunyi Building, it was the eighth prince of the Jiang family who wanted to give Jiang Yashuang a chance to take advantage of me, so he designed to lock us in a room...... The children of their family don't even care about the prince who is crowned king, so what am I, the county lord? ”

Su He's face was ugly: "This ......"

"I'm still in the filial piety period. If these things come out like that, what do you think will happen to me? Qiu Yulan narrowed her eyes, "And who of them can be the children of the Jiang family?" Do you think that if the Jiang family really treats me as a prospective daughter-in-law, they will disrespect me like this? ”

Seeing that Su He didn't speak, he said again, "Even if I really marry into the Jiang family, with Jiang Yashuang's seniority and ranking, it is also the fate of the rules to be established by heaven." It's better to be relaxed and happy now! Why do you think I'm guilty of it?! ”

"Princess Chunfu told you about Mr. Shao?" Su He was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "Why? ”

"Jiang Yashuang knew about this, and she was afraid that she would have a rift with her brother, so she came to explain it to me." Qiu Yulan glanced at her, "Otherwise, I would still think that He Shuijin introduced me to a good gentleman!" ”

Su He whispered: "In this way, General Jiang ...... to you"

"Anyway, let's talk about it in two years." Qiu Yulan wanted to be the younger daughter-in-law of Jiang Yadan's kind of person, just thinking about it, she would have to live ten years less, I really don't know what kind of life his wife Xiao Tao is living!

However, although Jiang Yashuang did not have the intention of admiring her, she could be regarded as accommodating in every way. In this year's marriage, the parents' orders and responsible reasons are more than the mutual pleasure of the two lovers.

This difference in the concept of the plane cannot be explained clearly in a few words. All the reasons for refusal she proposed before were solved by Jiang Yashuang, and it seems hypocritical to find a new reason - it is better to think about it in the long run, who knows what will change in two or three years?

"It seems that he is using him as a shield for the past two years...... But use it, use it, it's a big deal that when we break up in the future, the Xihe Royal Mansion will compensate me for my property, and then divide him some. Qiu Yulan secretly thought, "As for saying that he is not short of money or anything, anyway, I have such a conscience!" ”

After her conscience was calm, she thought that until Qiu Hongzhi got married, she would just need to recuperate quietly and recuperate, and by the way, she would send people to comfort Ruan Qingyan from time to time to dispel her cousin's anger - as a result, two groups of visitors were ushered in within two days.
