Chapter Twenty-Three: The Qin Family Destroys
Three years is enough time for her to find a lot of opportunities, besides, there are still ten days, and that person will come, and when the time comes, the life of this little slut will not be there.
"The second lady is too worried, King Rui said, I can do whatever I want in the future, besides, King Rui has already given me the keys to the treasury, this is not an obvious hand over to King Rui's mansion to me, how can I let King Rui disappoint." Then he smiled at Xu.
Xu's angry teeth itched, but she couldn't show anything, just when she didn't know how to speak, Ziluo came in: "Old lady, Aunt Qianniang is here, saying that she is here to say goodbye to the old lady." ”
Aunt Qianniang is the pregnant aunt in the house, counting the days, it has been almost four months, after all, when she was first checked, it was almost three months, and I don't know how she hid it.
"The concubine has seen the old lady, the second lady, and the third lady." Aunt Qianniang is very young, she is only 19 years old this year, she was originally a dancing girl, and she was presented to Guan Pingxian by the people below.
A fair-skinned melon seed face reveals the unique collagen of a young girl, because Aunt Qianniang was originally a good family, and later entered the flower building in the middle of the family road, so there is no frivolity that a flower building woman should have. A pair of slender jade hands were placed on the slightly convex lower abdomen, and there was no flattery in the eyes, only a piece of light.
However, Guan Lingyue didn't miss the smile that flashed in her eyes when she looked at Xu, why is this?
Although the old lady was a little mindful that Aunt Qian had stayed in the flower building, in view of the fact that the other party was innocent, although she could not say that she was disgusted, she was not so enthusiastic, and she was pregnant with the heir of the Guan family in the other party's belly, but gave her a seat.
"By the way, the concubine went out for a walk in the house yesterday when she was bored, and who knew that she met the shopkeeper Cui." Seeing that the old lady was puzzled, she hurriedly explained: "It is the shopkeeper of the Splendid Pavilion, speaking of which, this Splendid Pavilion is still the dowry shop of the eldest lady in our house, and the concubine likes the clothes there very much, and look, this dress is still bought by the concubine yesterday." ”
Xu suddenly had a bad feeling.
Guan Lingyue raised her eyebrows, it seems that the sudden visit of this Aunt Qian should have something to do with Aunt Shen, but I don't know what role this Aunt Shen plays in it.
Then I saw that Aunt Qian's aunt was a little embarrassed and said: "It stands to reason that there should be no concubine in this matter, the main thing is that this matter is related to the second lady, and the concubine has to say it!" ”
The old lady looked at Aunt Qian, then at Xu, and then said to Aunt Qian, "What's the matter?" ”
Aunt Qianniang pursed her lips and smiled: "Today I met the shopkeeper Cui on the street and chatted with him, which was nothing more than asking the other party if there was any new style of clothes in the store recently, but who knows, the shopkeeper Cui actually said that he was no longer the shopkeeper of the Splendid Pavilion, and of course the concubine didn't believe it, so she went to the Splendid Pavilion." Then he smiled mysteriously, glanced at Xu Shi and continued.
"The concubine went to the store and found that the shopkeeper of this splendid pavilion was actually surnamed Xu, and he also looked like the second lady's cousin, that is, the one who came to our house last year, Young Master Li is quite similar, and ah, the other party is a little unreasonable, the concubine just looked at the clothes and tried it, the old lady also knew that the concubine is now pregnant, and this dress is now worn well, if it is older, it will not work, the concubine thinks, since this is the case, don't waste it, after all, it is not easy to make money, and the left and right are just a piece of clothing, When the concubine gives birth to a child, she just buys it. ”
"But who knows, the shopkeeper Xu wants to let the concubine buy, and he also says that the concubine, but a concubine, how to sell the clothes she wears to those young ladies and ladies, the words are extremely ugly, the concubine really doesn't want to stay, so as not to lose the face of the prime minister's house, so she had to buy this clothes, but who knows, he, he actually said that this dress costs a hundred taels of silver, how can there be so much on the concubine! I had no choice but to send someone back to get it, but fortunately I met Aunt Shen at that time, otherwise, otherwise. ”
Aunt Shen cried quietly as she spoke, and the old lady looked at Xu with an ugly face, silent, but her eyes were full of displeasure.
Guan Lingyue raised her eyebrows, knowing that it was time for her to appear, so she said cautiously: "Aunt Qian, are you mistaken, this Splendid Pavilion is my mother's dowry shop, although the second lady is allowed to manage it on her behalf, but the second lady should not be so stupid to let her cousin manage it." ”
In a word, it was directly implemented, and the people in the Splendid Pavilion shop were Xu's brothers.
When Xu Shi listened to Aunt Qian's words, his face was not good, and now, he suddenly said in a panic: "That's it, Aunt Qian, maybe you are wrong, how could I put my cousin in the store, and say something like that, alas, there are too many things that have happened during this time, and I haven't been to the store for some time, but I have wronged Aunt Qian, and I am here to compensate Aunt Qian." He stood up.
Aunt Qianniang hurriedly got up and said, "What is the second lady doing, no, this can't be done!" If she really made Xu apologize, then she would sing this play in vain, so she simply didn't do anything, knelt down directly, and said with tears on her face: "Second lady, please, this can't be helped, that person is right, concubine, no, the slave is a slave, and she shouldn't go to the Splendid Pavilion, if this is known by people outside, what can I do!" ”
Xu's body stiffened, she didn't expect this Aunt Qian to do this, although it was very cool to see Aunt Qian kneeling in front of her, but now this is Ci'an Hall, there must be no mistake!
"Aunt Qian, what are you doing, hurry up." After Xu helped Aunt Qianniang up, he helped the person to the chair with a smile and said, "Aunt Qianniang should pay attention, after all, she is a double body, and she must not be sloppy." ”
At the end of the words, she was accusing Aunt Qianniang of not taking the child in her belly seriously.
Sure enough, when the old lady heard this, she frowned, and looked at Aunt Qian's face with displeasure.
Aunt Qianniang didn't know, touched her tears, touched her belly, and said, "Alas, isn't this worried that the second lady will really apologize to the concubine?" The concubine knew that her status was meager and she couldn't afford such a big gift from the second lady, but she was negligent, but fortunately, the second lady was sensible! ”
"Alright." The old lady spoke: "Xu, no matter what's going on in the Splendid Pavilion, I came to you today to let you give Ru Wan's dowry to Lingyue." ”
"Dowry?" Aunt Qianniang asked suspiciously: "What dowry?" ”
Guan Lingyue said slowly: "It's the dowry left by my mother, I'm not going to go to Rui Wangfu in a few years, in order not to let the people in Rui Wangfu see the jokes, I told my grandmother, try it with my mother's dowry first, if you make it, you can also add some income to the family." ”
Aunt Qianniang suddenly realized: "So that's the case! Also, Rui Wangfu is not an ordinary place, it is necessary to study hard, but the third lady is a smart person, and she will be able to take over soon. ”
"Then thank you Aunt Qian's auspicious words." Guan Lingyue stood up and said with a smile, and then said to Xu: "Second lady, I don't know when you will be able to give me my mother's dowry?" ”
"This." Xu's face was a little embarrassed, those dowries, except for the Splendid Pavilion, the Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing and the five hundred acres of land, the others have been exchanged for money by her, how can this be given!
At this moment, Aunt Shen took her son Guan Tongyu and walked in with a smile: "The concubine has seen the old lady, and the old lady is fine." ”
"My grandson has seen my grandmother, and my grandmother is fine."
Seeing her grandson, the old lady's serious face brought some smiles, "Hitomi Yu, come to grandmother." ”
Aunt Shen walked up to Aunt Qian's side with a smile and said with a concerned face, "How is my sister's body?" ”
"Thank you sister for your concern, fortunately my sister came in time." Aunt Qianniang got up and said with a smile.
"It's all fate!" Aunt Shen said with a smile, and then said to Guan Lingyue: "Third Miss, Auntie, I met Shopkeeper Cui when I went out today, this is what he asked me to bring you, and I don't know what it is?" ”
"What is this?" As soon as Guan Lingyue opened it, she found that it was actually a dowry list, looking at the things on it, suddenly, the step on Xu's head shook into her eyes, and said coldly: "Second lady, please tell me, why does the step shake in my mother's dowry appear on your head?" ”
Actually, Aunt Shen had known about Qin Ruwan's dowry for a long time, but she couldn't find a reason, now, she smiled at the corner of her mouth, sat down, and watched a good show.
Xu Shi's face was a little flustered, and her heart was full of chagrin, if she knew that there would be such a thing as today, she would not say anything would put this step on her head.
"Mother, this." What to say?
Guan Lingjian hooked his lips and smiled, and said very generously: "Grandmother, forget it, presumably the second lady didn't mean it, I believe in the second lady's person, if my mother's dowry is really missing, the second lady will definitely make up for it." ”
Although the Xu family didn't know what Guan Lingkey was doing this for, judging from the current situation, these words would only be beneficial to him, so he hurriedly said, "Mother, what Lingyue said is. ”
Aunt Shen won't just forget it, this Xu family hasn't bled yet, put down the teacup in her hand and said: "The third lady is good-tempered, but I can't look at it as an aunt, three days ago, my father sent someone to tell me that the Qin family in Qinhai County was wiped out, oh, it is our eldest lady's maiden family, the third lady's maternal grandfather's house." ”
"What?" The old lady was shocked.
Guan Lingyue's pupils shrank, obviously shocked, but what did Aunt Shen mean by saying these words at this time?
Aunt Shen noticed Guan Lingyue's gaze, smiled, and glanced at the Xu family as if nothing, the fierceness that flashed on Xu's face happened to be seen by her, and her heart sank, it seems that this murderer, eight or nine is not far from ten, but I don't know, what role the general's mansion plays in it.
