Chapter 82: Identity
In Zhuo's mansion, there was a cloud of clouds.
Dou Shi had a calm face, looking at the winter snow kneeling in front of him, if it weren't for the juniors, she would have been slapped a long time ago, this girl is so bold, she dared to pretend to be the cousin of Zhuo Mansion, and let Zhuo Mansion 10,000 taels of silver sweep away in vain, and what is even more hateful is that the silver was spent, but there was no news from Yuan Niang's master and servant.
If you can't find anyone, wouldn't your original calculations be in vain.
Thinking of this, Dou's heart twisted with pain.
"Grandmother, there's no news from my second cousin now, is there?" The word accident, Zhuo Wenjun did not ask.
Dou's anger touched the worry on his granddaughter's face, and he was even happier, but he thought that his granddaughter was about to marry into a married family, so he didn't have a training outlet.
"Okay, you all go back, I have something to ask Dongxue alone." As soon as he opened his mouth, even if some people wanted to see the excitement, it was not enough.
Among them are Zhuo Xiyu and Zhishi.
Dongxue's heart was cold, and she knew that it was going to be over.
Sure enough, as soon as everyone retreated, Dou Shi smashed the teacup next to his hand on Dongxue's forehead, "What a bold man, after being by my side for so many years, I didn't even find that you still have such a big idea, you have to tell me what is going on." ”
Dongxue begged for mercy again and again, "The old lady spares her life, after the slave and maid were caught, their mouths were blocked, and they were not allowed to speak, they only relied on the slave's clothes to think that the slave and maid were the masters, so things came to this." ”
Dou's eyes moved slightly, "Full of nonsense, the master and the subordinate can be distinguished at a glance, can you lie to me and be confused?" ”
Dongxue could only bite at this time, "Old lady, the second cousin girl has always only worn a robe made of cotton, and there are not a few ornaments on her head, and the cousin girl didn't know what happened that day, and suddenly put the cloak on the slave and maid, but she didn't want to be at this time when the robbers came out, and in a panic escaped, and finally the slave and maid were caught." ”
Hungry, cold and frightened by the robbers, and now that she has picked up her life, she can't admit that she is the master from the robbers.
Anyway, there is no physical evidence, even if Mrs. Tai suspects it, there is no evidence, Dong Xue raised her head slightly, and saw that Dou's eyes were uncertain, so she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and what she said just now was also intended to shirk responsibility to her cousin.
In fact, looking back now, she is not sure if the cousin girl had discovered something a long time ago, so she deliberately put the cloak on herself.
But I didn't know that after Dong Xue's words were finished, Dou also began to suspect Yuan Niang, and after letting Dong Xue say all the details from the car breakdown, he was more and more sure that Yuan Niang had found out that something was going to happen, so he pushed Dong Xue out first.
is really smart, but the more smart he is, the more he can't marry the prince, and the more sure Dou is that his decision is right.
Dou didn't embarrass Dongxue anymore, "Go down, you remember, you are the son of Zhuo Mansion, and now Zhuo Mansion has spent 10,000 taels to buy your life, and you will repay Zhuo Mansion well in the future." ”
"The slave will never forget the old lady's love for the slave and the maid," Dongxue's heart finally fell to the end.
sent Dongxue out, Dou asked people to call Zhuo Xing again, Zhuo Xing had already made the best response after knowing, "Mother, if you can't find that girl, just find a girl to marry at that time, and then only say that Yuan Niang ran away, let the girl marry on behalf of us, although the Hou Mansion will blame us, but we are also victims, after all, Xiyu married the son, and when the time comes, give them the son mercy, and we will not embarrass us." ”
Dou Shi was impatient, "This is also a dangerous move, but there is no way, just like this." ”
On the side of the mountain garden, there was no news after six days, Sima Shangyi knew that there was an accident, and when he thought of being vigorous, he was not too anxious, but secretly sent someone back to the capital to inquire about the news.
In fact, after returning from Jiangnan, he knew that the marriage had changed, and the woman he asked for was actually married to his nephew.
If this is really possible, he will definitely fulfill his nephew, but he doesn't want his cousin to make trouble because of his marriage, so he came out to look for someone, and he didn't want to meet the people of Zhuo Mansion and meet the robbers.
In the end, he found Yuan Niang in the wooden house on the mountain, but now the marriage can't be changed, all he can do is protect her, but it can be seen that she doesn't like Zhuo Mansion, what is the reason why she doesn't know.
After the silence, he instructed the people to prepare to return to the Hou Mansion, while secretly sending people to look for people along the road, and on the day he sent his cousin to the Hou Mansion, the people sent out also found people, and it was in the small village at the foot of the mountain.
Sima Shangyi shook his head impatiently, her 、、、 really made him look at him more and more differently, cool nine cold days, she was a young lady, and she could stay in a small village.
When the horse returned to the bottom of the mountain, it was already night, and under the guidance of the guards, Sima Shangyi saw that Yuan Niang, who was feeding the chickens in the courtyard in a daze, was still dressed in cotton clothes, and there was no decoration on the bun, which made people's hearts always quiet.
The beauty suddenly turned her head sideways, and when she found him, her face was not surprised, as if she had expected him to appear, but what made him stunned was that the beauty was not seen before, and she grimaced at him and stuck out her tongue, and turned around and entered the house.
The guards around naturally noticed it, all of them were ossified, this lady in the boudoir was so vulgar, it was the first time they had seen such a thing, and more importantly, their master was very worried about each other.
As soon as Yuan Niang entered the house, she glanced at the vigorous fire burning, "Your master is here." ”
The vigorous hand was stunned, and he was about to cry, the master finally came, and the two women who have been exploited in the past few days have been more difficult than what he has lived for more than ten years, but he still raised his head and forced a smile.
Yuan Niang didn't pick on him, turned around and went into the house to the warm kang, and went back to the house like this, she was really unwilling.
Lan Mei came back with a chicken in her hand, "Miss, it's the fattest." ”
"Kill it, there are guests today." Although she didn't say who the guest was, Lan Mei immediately guessed it.
"That 、、、"
"Needless to say, I have my own arrangements."
Lan Mei then went out with the chicken.
Outside, Wang Sheng saw it and hurriedly stood up, "Sister Lanmei, I'll kill it." ”
Lan Mei picked up the kitchen knife and smiled at him, "No." ”
The knife in his hand had been chopped at the chicken pressed on the cutting board all at once, blood was splashed everywhere, and he was shocked and shouted, this embarrassed appearance was too big Qiao Sima Shangyi came in and saw it, and couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips.
"Master 、、、" As soon as he saw the people who came in, he almost rushed over and knelt on the ground.
His hard days finally came to an end, he was the one who was most afraid of blood, and he had never done anything to kill the sun, and the panicked appearance when he killed the chicken on the first day was discovered by the master and servant, and since then, the master and servant have to torture him every day with the trick of killing the chicken and seeing blood.
In the end, he thought about it, it's a big deal to kill it himself, and wrap the chicken's neck in a cloth, so naturally he won't see blood, but he doesn't want Lan Mei to give Ben a chance, and he will start faster.
Sima Shangyi paused, "Okay, go wash your face." ”
There was obviously a smile hidden in his voice, and he wanted to cry without tears.
Lifting the curtain and entering the house, the vision is dark, the small earthen house in this village is not well lit, there is only a kang in it, not even a table and chairs, only a table on the kang.
Yuan Niang sat on the kang, leaning on the folded quilt, and looked at Sima Shangyi who came in with a smile, "What a coincidence." ”
It's obvious that she is willful, but a sentence of 'what a coincidence' dissolves a bunch of words he wants to ask below, is this woman smart or stupid? Don't you know that she messed around outside like this, and it was rumored that she couldn't marry Ben into the Hou Mansion? Or did she and Ben not want to marry into the Hou Mansion?
Such a speculation made Sima Shangyi inexplicably excited, but he immediately sank down, so what? The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, how can there be a reason for the woman to be the master herself.
And marrying the prince of the Hou Mansion, then she will be the wife of the Hou Mansion in the future, which woman doesn't like such a glory.
It turned out that the deceased Hou Ye was Sima Shangyi's eldest brother, Sima Shangyi had always been the general of the border guard, until the eldest brother died, he was transferred back by the emperor, but he did not get married for a year.
Now he is just waiting for the only son left by the eldest son to reach the age of the prince and change from the position of the prince to the position of the marquis.
And Yuan Niang didn't know that the person in front of her was not the prince, but the uncle who was rumored to be the prince of the Hou Mansion who had been sick, or knew the truth, maybe she thought it would be better to marry wrongly.
Sima Shangyi coughed for a while and sat down on the kang, "Miss Zhuo has been outside like this, which is not good for her reputation. ”
"You're worried about Lao Gongzi," Yuan Niang played Tai Chi.
It's not good to spread it, to see if the Hou Mansion can still hold back and not retreat, thinking of the attitude of the man in front of him towards his cousin, Yuan Niang is full of discomfort.
Sima Shangyi thought of her temper, and finally didn't say a word more, at this time Wang Sheng had washed up and came in to reply, Sima Shangyi directly ordered, "Clean up, and I will return to Beijing tomorrow." ”
I didn't ask Yuan Niang to agree, and Wang Sheng was also stunned, but immediately responded to the positive color and retreated.
"No matter what reason Miss Zhuo has, a woman being alone is always bad for her reputation, and now that you are going to marry into the Hou Mansion, I should think about Miss Zhuo, the two families have set a date, if something happens, it will not be good for the reputation of both families." Sima Shangyi was upright and had no room for anything, and completely took out the momentum on the battlefield.
"Okay, it turns out that Childe knew about this, I thought Childe didn't know" Yuan Niang ridiculed him and his cousin.
Where did Sima Shangyi know what she was thinking, but he also heard that this was not good, so he frowned and did not reply.
But in Yuan Niang's eyes, it was completely misunderstood as a default.
