Chapter Seventy-Four: Hidden Deeply
Liu Da moved quickly, and did everything possible to hide from the yamen to find a post-mortem to prove that Liu Er was stabbed into the skull by a long needle and died.
Shen Yinqiu and Liu returned to Liuluo Courtyard, and they were a little creepy when they got the news, especially Shen Yinqiu, thinking of the man in black who dragged her into the rockery, made her unable to move with just a little hand, and came and went without a trace, these people's skills to kill her were just a blink of an eye, just look at Liu Er's fate.
Shen Yinqiu swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, looked at Liu and asked, "Mother, we seem to have a big deal?" ”
The Liu family was calmer than Shen Yinqiu, and the first way to think of it was to throw silver and invite a warrior!
"Don't be afraid, Ming'er, I'll ask the innkeeper to keep an eye on the skilled person."
Shen Yinqiu sighed: "Inn? Where is the inn? ”
Liu Shiqin remembered that she had not introduced the industry under her name to her daughter, and said with a smile: "Over there on East Street, I have three restaurants, three inns, three ready-to-wear shops, and three jewelry shops. These industries are all hung under different people, and they can earn tens of millions of taels a year, and they are all placed on the silver village. As she spoke, she took out an inconspicuous silver-patterned token from her bosom, about the size of a copper coin.
Liu broke it open with her hand, and the silver token was divided into two halves, and she handed half of them to Shen Yinqiu and said: "This is the only token to withdraw the silver taels from the Qian Village, you can go to the Qian Zhuang to withdraw the silver at any time in the future, but be careful with your ears and eyes." ”
Shen Yinqiu knew that her aunt was living a very comfortable life, and she usually overtook the Zhang family and others in the details of her usual dress, and there were many styles of clothes and fabrics, all of which cost money! I guessed that it was because my aunt was usually favored or because of the rich dowry at the beginning, but I didn't want her aunt to still be a businessman!
Who said that her aunt was an empty vase with beauty and ignorance? Come out and see if she doesn't die!
Shen Yinqiu didn't dare to take the token, shook his head and said, "On the prosperous East Street, the shop is two-thirds occupied by the aunt? This is too valuable, my aunt still keeps it well, in fact, I am not short of silver......"
Liu Shitan raised her eyebrows and said: "I'm just a child of you, aren't these things left to you in the end, what's the difference between accepting them in advance." I'm afraid you don't have much of the good stuff left before, most of them have a few thousand taels left in your pocket? Now that I have talked to them, there will be a place to spend money in the future, and a few thousand taels is not a big deal. ”
Qianguang listened to Aunt Liu's words silently, and couldn't help complaining, the young lady who was raised in the boudoir could have a few thousand taels of flowing silver taels was already considered rich. I didn't expect it to be so inadequate in Aunt Liu's eyes.
Shen Yinqiu looked at the Liu family and saw that her aunt's expression did not seem to be fake, and there was no trace of reluctance. She was silent as she watched her aunt slip the token into her hand.
"Well, haven't you heard anyone talk about your uncle's estate? In addition to not involving the capital, there are all over the world, I heard that they are still looking for a route to develop to the barbarian tribe, what a ...... who is not afraid of death" Liu Shiqin was still in the mood to laugh.
The nervousness of thinking that there was a killer in the dark who could kill them at any time was also dissipated a lot, Liu Shiqin patted her on the shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid, no matter who sent it, no one will harm you during this time period." The inn is mixed, and it is not difficult to contact the people on the rivers and lakes, you have to remember that money can make ghosts grind. ”
Shen Yinqiu: "......" Why did she find out now that her aunt was so dependent on money, sure enough, the eldest uncle and the second uncle were good at officialdom, and the younger uncle and her aunt were proficient in making money.
She thought about it, had she heard that her little uncle paid taxes to the court every year, and silver could fill half of the treasury? Ah, she doesn't really understand either.
The next day, the Hou Mansion really found a matchmaker to come to the door to propose marriage, the Liu family couldn't interfere, Shen Linru had already responded, but she didn't want Liu Shitan to come out halfway, and said: "Our eldest lady of the Shen family has not come to the door to propose marriage, these two girls must not respond to such a family matter." ”
What she said was reasonable, the matchmaker couldn't find anything wrong, Zhang's Tie blushed and didn't dare to speak, Shen Linru just frowned and glanced at Liu Shiqin, although she didn't like her to come out to make trouble, but what she said was not unfounded, so the matchmaker who came in a hurry went away in such a frustration.
Zhang glared at the proud Liu and said, "I don't know what you mean by dragging it like this, Shen Yinqiu's marriage to the prince of the Hou Mansion is already a sure thing!" Don't be afraid to ruin the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion by saying that kind of thing, it doesn't matter if it's a rat, but please don't spoil a pot of porridge! ”
Compared with her passionate words, Liu Shi seemed much calmer, and said slowly with a smile: "I believe that people with ears heard yesterday's incident, it was the prince of the Hou Mansion who tarnished the reputation of the second lady without rules, and the second miss was an innocent victim, anyway, the eldest lady did not come to the door to propose marriage, and the second miss would never cross the eldest lady to marry, isn't this a rule?" ”
Shen Jinqiu couldn't hold back, and said with a smile: "Auntie means that no one wants Jinqiu?" I'm afraid you don't know that I have already settled with the major general of the General's Mansion. ”
Liu Shiqin: "Oh, there is no guarantee in what is said verbally in this matter, only like Fang Cai, the matchmaker can not be fake." ”
"Auntie! You ......" Shen Jinqiu felt that her aunt had changed now, and she had become very mean and strange!
Shen Lin didn't even bother to say a word about not arguing, there were no outsiders behind, so he turned around and walked away, letting them be noisy and noisy, anyway, his ears were quiet.
The Liu family didn't have so much spare time to waste on the mother and daughter, she took the maid out of the house and went straight to her brother's mansion after a while, Shen Yinqiu's marriage could be delayed for a day, but it couldn't be delayed for a lifetime. The question of how to make the eldest princess change her mind is still asking for her eldest brother and second brother.
Shen Yinqiu knew in her heart that unless she died or Wan Qiyan died, nothing could be changed. After sleeping and getting up, she wanted to open it, since she couldn't hide, she would accept it bravely, and Wan Qiyan's heart was not bad, the only regret was that her body was too bad.
Shen Yinqiu lay on the wooden table in front of the window, looking at the green vines along the windowsill, the green and vigorous vitality swayed in the cold wind, even if it was vulnerable to the young leaves covered by snow, it was not crushed, and it was still stubbornly attached to the wall.
How wonderful is the life that nature brings, and sometimes man's perseverance is not as good as a weed.
Shen Yinqiu was suddenly greatly encouraged, and got up to greet Qianguang and said, "Qianguang prepares!" Let's go out on the street. ”
Qianguang's hand shook, "Master, isn't it good to go out on the street today?" ”
"If it's not good, will you still be able to calculate the hexagram? I'm very bored, and I go out for a walk and sort out my thoughts. Shen Yinqiu has a resolute attitude, she is always led by the nose, she doesn't know that she is stumbling by others, she has to resist her impulsiveness!
Qianguang had no choice but to obey his master's wishes and run to arrange for leaving the house.
This weather was naturally going to be a carriage, and a quarter of an hour later, Shen Yinqiu went out dressed thickly and wearing a taper gauze hat on his head, covering his entire cheeks.
Exhaling a breath of heat and watching it float up and then disappear, Shen Yinqiu carefully sorted out the beginning and end of everything.
Starting from Zhuangzi in the countryside, the three robbers who stole his property were very suspicious, and the maidservant girl who pushed her into the water, made her absent from the family banquet and was locked up in the ancestral hall, and designed her to marry the man in black in the Hou Mansion. There are people behind all the previous things.
Zhang's mind is vicious, and his connections are widespread, and he is one of the objects of suspicion, Shen Jinqiukong is disgusting but not that daring, and he is not afraid. Shen Jinxuan's smile with a knife is the biggest trouble! And what kind of eldest princess, Lian Xinyi......
Oh, Shen Yinqiu really wants to have that world-shattering skill, not to mention pressing down one by one and calling her aunt! But she didn't!
Somehow, she remembered Brother Yan, the mysterious person who came and went without a trace, they all ate supper together, galloping into the night sky, and they didn't know who he was. It's normal to have some throbbing in her heart, who let her have a heroic dream. But reason was telling her again that it was impossible for her and Brother Yan to be impossible, so she hurried out while she was not deep!
Hey, her sighing appearance fell in Qianguang's eyes, because she was unwilling to marry the prince of the Hou Mansion, so she secretly hurt herself. Her young lady is beautiful, has a good temperament, plays the piano well, knows the four books and five classics, and it is indeed a loss to marry the son of that Laoshizi!
"Miss, don't worry, the old lady won't let Miss marry Shi...... The Son of the World. "Qianguang has blind trust in Mrs. Liu.
Shen Yinqiu glanced at her speechlessly, how to say it to make them understand that her grandmother can be respected in Jiangnan and give face everywhere, but at the foot of the world, the gathering place of dignitaries and nobles really has no status. She occasionally secretly read some military strategy books, and the power of the eldest princess even her father and two uncles have to be scrupulous. There is little room for reversal.
But...... Hey, she didn't bother to explain, lest she be caught reading those books, which would be a much heavier crime than reading a script.
There was a stove burning in the carriage, probably everyone was quite upset and felt very stuffy, Shen Yinqiu simply opened the closed window directly, making the lively sound on the street outside clearer.
"Miss, it's cold, let's close the windows, you see they're all staring at you." Qianguang couldn't get an answer from his master when he spoke before, so he became more and more sure that his master was unhappy.
Shen Yinqiu didn't care and said, "With the taper yarn hat, what can they stare at except their eyes." ”
When the carriage arrived at the entrance of the city, Shen Yinqiu stepped on the stepping stool and got off the car, and it was Liu Da and Liu Wu who drove the carriage, and Liu Wu was the more honest person that Liu Da picked out from the other sixteen brothers.
Of the twenty bodyguards who had sent Shen Yinqiu from Jiangnan to the capital, there were seventeen left, and three were lost.
Liu Da asked Liu Wu to settle the carriage, and he followed behind the master inch by inch, and after a while, three strong men came out of the crowd and followed Shen Yinqiu.
Qianguang saw something strange and looked at Liu Da, Liu Da glanced at the three strong men in different directions, and whispered to Qianguang: "Only Liu Wu and I are afraid that we will not be able to do anything, there are many people on the street, so I called three more brothers to come out to escort them, and also divided four to check the clues that Miss explained." ”
Qianguang was still a little wary in his heart, even someone who Liu Er trusted so much could help outsiders deal with Miss, and what could be collected by others was nothing more than love for money!
