Chapter 495: Greedy for Money Like Life
The eldest lord Su Jingci walked into the deep courtyard of Chunhui Courtyard, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw his old mother sitting upright on a chaise longue in the hall, her brows furrowed deeply, and there was a deep sadness in her eyes.
"Mother. What happened to you? The eldest lord hurriedly took a few steps over.
Su Lao raised her head, and when she saw the tall and strong child entering the door, all the wrinkles on her face suddenly relaxed, and she pointed to the chair next to her and said, "Jingci is back?" Sit down. ”
"Yes, Mother." The eldest master took off his robe, sat down in the place designated by Su Lao, first looked her up and down carefully, and then said: "Mother, I have been very busy during this time, what is the matter with you sending someone to call my son?" If it's okay, just go? ”
When Su Lao heard this, he glared at him fiercely and said, "You are so busy that you don't even have the time to say a few words to your mother?" ”
"Not really." The eldest lord smiled and said, "There have been a lot of things in the palace recently. Isn't that busy! ”
Su Lao glanced at him twice, and then opened his mouth to tell what Su Xiyun had just said, and then asked, "Jingci, tell me, did Xiyun lie to me?" ”
When Master Su heard this, he nodded with a heavy face. "It's true." ”
Su Lao's mouth immediately opened the boss. It took a long time for her to say: "Oh my God, I just asked Xiyun to go to Baiyun Nunnery to ask the old daughter-in-law if she had prepared a dowry, why did such a thing happen?" Xi Yun if there is a long and two short ......" Thinking of this, Su Lao's face suddenly showed a trace of regret.
"Mother, you said that my brother and sister have prepared a dowry for Xiyun?" At this moment, Master Su interrupted her with a voice.
Su Lao nodded stunned and said, "Yes, the last time Qianyun got married, she prepared a lot of things!" ”
Next, Su Lao Benzi carefully told Master Su about the sixty dowries that Mrs. Su had purchased in the name of the queen last time, and the other party's eyes were golden when he listened.
"After all, Xiyun is going to marry, and the threshold is higher than that of the Bai family, so this time, the old daughter-in-law will definitely prepare more things!" Su Lao shook his head and sighed: "But this time, we can't take out so many things anymore!" ”
"Mother, why don't we bring the things prepared by our younger siblings. When the time comes, it will be carried out from the gate of our house in a bright light, how magnificent! The eldest man's eyes lit up and said, "No, I should take my younger siblings back!" ”
"What are you picking her up for? Crazy? Su Lao glanced at her angrily, and said lightly: "She is a widow, it is better to stay in Baiyun Nunnery!" But those dowries should indeed be obtained in a way. ”
The eldest lord saw that Su Lao couldn't figure out the meaning of his words, and hurriedly said: "Mother, you have calculated for a lifetime, why don't you have a brain?" This Xiyun will get married in two months, you talk about it, when she gets married, what else can you use to restrain her? ”
"The personal maid next to her, as well as the accompanying room, were all arranged by me for her, and she dared not listen to me?" Su Lao smiled coldly, glanced at it and said, "The twists and turns in these inner houses. You don't know much about your mother! You'd better hurry up and think about taking those dowries away! ”
When the old man Su heard this, he immediately sighed: "Mother! You're so confused! What if you drag those people's deeds of sale? Isn't it a ready-made case on the Bai family's side? It's useless, if you want to say, you get more people. It's better to invite your younger siblings to the house alone, then the two sisters can be regarded as real rat bogeys! ”
Hearing this, Su Lao's eyes suddenly lit up! Yes, whether it is Qianyun or Xiyun, they are very filial, if the lady is brought from the Baiyun Nunnery to the house, as long as she is there in the future, she will not worry that the two dead girls will not listen to her orders!
"What you said is right, you should indeed find a way to bring the old daughter-in-law back from the nunnery, and the dowry she will prepare at that time will be the entire Bofu, and she will be able to restrain those two girls in the future, killing two birds with one stone!" Su Lao said with a smile.
Master Su looked at his mother-in-law, and when he saw that she finally understood what he meant, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Mother, we can't come forward in this matter, you have to ask Xiyun to go to the mountain to pick up your younger siblings in person." ”
When Su Lao heard this, he nodded and said: "Well, what you said is right, the old daughter-in-law has stayed in the nunnery for so many years, and we don't care about it, and if you suddenly want to invite her back at this time, it is inevitable that she will be gossiped, and Xiyun will personally invite her, which is the best thing." ”
"Mother, it's still thoughtful!" Seeing that Old Man Su had a happy expression, Master Su immediately spoke: "Mother, when those dowries return to the house, how about letting the children pick a few treasures first?" ”
Su Lao glanced at the greedy eyes at the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, and snorted coldly: "What are you talking about!" Xiyun is going to marry Rongwangfu! We didn't have a few things, and we all pointed to the old daughter-in-law's few treasures to support the field, you are good, you actually want to change it secretly! You don't think our Bofu is shameful enough, do you? ”
"Mother, look at what you said, is that kind of person?" Master Su was reprimanded, and the expression on his face finally became a little embarrassed, and he hurriedly used words to cover up: "I'm talking, but I'm Xiyun's uncle, what's wrong with enjoying a few things from her?" ”
"Moreover, he doesn't take big things, only small and delicate ones. Mother, isn't this allowed? Master Su said with a little grievance on his face.
When Su Lao saw him like this, the expression on his face finally relaxed: "Okay, when the time comes, the things will come back, you pick two small ones behind your back, remember, you can't take too much!" ”
"I know!" The old man's head was like a rattle, but the shining eyes betrayed the true thoughts in his heart.
"The chances that the girl who pearl can be saved are getting smaller." Su Lao frowned and said, "Wait a minute, I'll pick another girl and send it to Xiyun." Okay, you can go back too! "Giant Ping Pong Trumpet.
"Mother, I want to accompany my mother to dinner today!" Master Su said with a grin.
Su Lao glanced at him and snorted coldly, "Aren't you busy going to the office?" How dare I work hard for a wife! Although there was some sarcasm in her words, the expression on her face finally softened.
How could Master Su not know his mother's temper, and he was not angry at the moment, he still stepped forward with a smile and said some good things, and finally made Su Lao laugh.
That night, he had dinner at Su Lao's place.
In the emperor's imperial room, Qi Ye personally escorted Qi Yan, whose hands were tied, to kneel down a foot away in front of the imperial case.
"Son-in-law, see father!" The two men spoke in unison.
As early as when they came in, the emperor was already waiting here, and when he saw Qi Yan with his hands tied, he suddenly snorted coldly.
"You're so daring! Dare to collude with the courtiers and use the newly recruited recruits of the imperial court to do such a rebellious thing on the outskirts of the capital! That's all for this, you dare to collude with the two kings of Huyan! The emperor said angrily, as he spoke, he picked up the Shuoshi that was being used on the table and threw it towards Qi Yan!
There was still ink in the Shuoshi, and when the emperor threw it, the ink smashed on Qi Yan along with the Shuoshi! He didn't dare to move, and let the black ink spill on him. The stone fell to the ground, "Smack!" It broke into two pieces.
But Qi Ye had already flashed aside, and not a drop of his snow-white robe had been splashed.
"Father, son-in-law is wronged!" Qi Yan hurriedly explained: "The second king of Huyan has not seen him, you said that the son of the second king of Huyan colluded with him, that is impossible!" ”
Qi Ye knelt aside, only looked at Qi Yan coldly, and didn't say a word.
"Ye'er, get up! Father was so confused that he even forgot about you kneeling. The emperor waved his hand and told Qi Ye to get up.
"Thank you, Father!" Qi Ye said respectfully, and then stood aside. Unexpectedly, at this time, the emperor spoke again: "Ye'er, you sit." Is Miss Su okay now? ”
Qi Ye sat on the chair brought by the palace people, and then replied: "Back to my father's words, Xiyun has nothing to do, but her personal maid was captured by the second king of Huyan because she was wearing her cloak at that time, and her whereabouts have not been found so far." ”
When the emperor heard this, he immediately glared at Qi Yan on the side with angry eyes.
"Father, the son is wronged!" Being glared at by the emperor's fierce eyes, Qi Yan suddenly felt uneasy in his heart, he wanted to argue for himself, but when it came to it, there was only one sentence.
The emperor snorted coldly, turned his head to Qi Ye and said, "How are the recruits arranged now?" ”
"Back to my father, my sons asked them to camp on the outskirts of Beijing and wait for the arrangement." Qi Ye replied: "But General Lu has never found a figure. Erchen didn't know what had happened to him. ”
When the emperor heard this, he immediately turned his head and stared at Qi Yan.
"Father, after General Lu handed over the recruits to his sons, he set off for Yongxian." Qi Yan said tremblingly.
Yongxian is the only way for the capital to go to the border, of course, on the next journey.
When the emperor heard this, he immediately sneered and said, "He's waiting for you to kill Miss Su on the outskirts of Beijing before sending the recruits over, right?" ”
Qi Yan pounded his head low, unable to say a word.
When the emperor saw it, there was something he didn't understand, so he immediately picked up a piece of music on the imperial case, and smashed it again: "Why did I raise such a thing as a pig and a dog like you!" Tell me, Miss Su is just a girl, why do you have to be so calculating with her! What's in her way of you? Kindness? ”
The music all smashed on Qi Yan's head, it hurt, he wanted to tell the emperor that Miss Su was a demon and the most vicious woman in the world! That's why he had to kill her! But when he opened his mouth, he couldn't say a word.
After the emperor finished scolding, he turned to the outside of the hall and ordered: "Come on, send a team of imperial forest troops, and immediately set off to Yongxian County to arrest the recruit general Lu Da!" ”
