Chapter 24 The Coffin Dowry
After the old lady was fed arsenic, she opened her eyes like a light return, but unfortunately there was no one else around except Lingyu and her son, in fact, she had expected that her husband was lustful, and now she was fascinated by the demon girl of the Dong family's sister, wishing she had died sooner. They thought she was a fool and had no idea, and she hated herself for being blind and marrying such a beast as him.
"Grandma, you're finally awake. Lingyu beside the bed cried and said.
"Yu'er, grandma, I'm afraid I can't do it. It's just that Xiao'er has a stubborn personality, and she will definitely come to a catastrophe in the future, so she promised her grandmother to take care of her no matter what!" She knew that Ling Yu was a good boy, and it was wise to entrust her granddaughter to him.
Ling Yu thought to herself: She is such a terrible person, I still want her to take care of me! Grandma is really eccentric, and she still thinks about her before she dies. I was embarrassed to say this, and I inadvertently glanced at his father, who seemed to have acquiesced, so I had to nod and say, "Well! Yu'er remembered what Grandma said." ”
"There's a piece of jade in the vase, go and get it for grandma......"
Lingyu thought to himself: Why didn't I hear my grandmother talk about this! He took out the jade pendant, the jade in his hand was smooth and round, shining in the sunlight, and the more Lingyu looked at it, the more he liked it. I couldn't help but say, "Do you want to give me such a valuable jade! Grandma is so kind to me." ”
But I heard my grandmother say that the person who wants to hold the jade pendant must be a destined person for the jade pendant, and Lingxiao is the destined person for this jade.
"Grandma, I want it too, can you give it to me? Lingyu looked at the grandmother on the hospital bed urgently, and thought: Grandma is really eccentric, is she afraid that we will starve her to death, and gave her such a valuable jade pendant at home.
But I heard my father say: "Yu'er, don't be rude, your grandmother must have a reason for doing this." ”
"No, this piece of jade is mine. But as soon as the words came out, he regretted it, and he didn't know why he had such a strong desire to possess this piece of jade.
When the old lady heard that Ling Yu didn't want to transfer the jade pendant to Ling Xiao, she just wanted to take it for herself, so she suddenly spit out black blood in her mouth, she couldn't catch her breath, kicked her legs, and closed her eyes.
"Grandma, are you okay! I know it's wrong!" Ling Yu looked at his motionless grandmother, regretting it, he didn't know how he could become a little evil now, it seems that the place in Shushan is not suitable for a long time......
I only heard a loud "bang ......", the sound was like thunder, deafening, and the mountains shook in an instant, and the ground kept trembling in the huge noise...... Those who didn't know thought it was an earthquake, and Ling Yu hurriedly came out to see what was going on......
"What's the situation?" said Ling Yu to the guards outside the door.
"Back to the young master, this is the Lingxiao County Lord who is making an invention!" said the guard at the door.
Ling Yu raised his eyebrows, and asked very suspiciously, "Invention?
"It's said to be a cannon. ”
"What is a cannon, what is it for?" Lingyu didn't have a cannon at that time, he had never seen a cannon, and he didn't know what a cannon was for.
"Minions, I heard it's for bombing!"
"Bomb whom?" Ling Yu became interested in this.
"It's hard to say. ”
"But it doesn't hurt to say it!"
"Back to the young master, what is the master. ”
"What?" he heard him right!
The subordinates didn't dare to ask more. I saw that they lowered their heads, as if they were afraid of this evil county lord.
Ling Yu decided to go and see what the hell this county lord was doing, she didn't live in so many rooms in the palace, so she had to move into the room of Linglan, who had just been married.
When Ling Yu walked to the door, he saw that inside the house, sparks were splashing, thick smoke was billowing out, the outside of the wall was scorched black, and the black smoke mixed with the smell of scorching fire wafted out from inside, making it difficult for him to breathe. The black smoke was faintly visible, and there were several thin figures standing outside the door, those little girls were unrecognizable, and they were as black as dead bodies crawling out of the dirt. The smoke made them unable to open their eyes, and their tears flowed and they coughed.
Lingxiao in the house thought that there were too few people and that she couldn't enjoy the fun, so she actually complained: "Just a few little slaves and maids are not enough for this little sister! He himself is good, and the room is full of beautiful women. Why am I so miserable!...... I'm not alive anymore......"
"Then you will die, no one will stop you. Lingyu said.
Several little girls at the door looked aggrieved, and they knelt down to salute Ling Yu. "Slave, see young master. ”
Seeing this, Lingxiao shouted: "Kneel, kneel, do you want to kneel, punish you for not eating dinner, just kneel at the door." ”
"Get up!" Ling Yu said to the girls.
"Don't get up, you all kneel for me without my permission. Don't think about it. ”
They didn't know who to listen to, and looked at Lingyu pitifully. They all wished that the evil county lord would leave quickly.
Ling Yu was so angry with his cousin that he was about to faint. I thought: Good men don't fight with women, don't let me see her again in the future. Then he walked away.
Late at night, Lingyu was grieved by her grandmother's death, tossing and turning, and couldn't sleep. Ling Yu, who was just a little sleepy, was awakened by a loud "boom" sound, which was much louder than the previous one, which made his eardrums break. The bed kept shaking, almost knocking him off the bed. After the ring, his ears were still "buzzing". "Oh my God! I'm going to have a heart attack. There was an explosion in the middle of the night...... "Lingyu said. Then he got up from the bed and leaned against the railing and looked out the window, in the moonlight. For the first time, he noticed that his room was so close to his cousin.
There are still a few days before the old lady is buried, and Li Mao, the owner of the coffin shop in the town, has been in love with Yuru for a long time. He was thrilled to learn that the county lord had been married. But he didn't know that Yuru murdered the county lord, replaced Linglan, and married the prince not the county lord himself but Yuru.
I saw many people carrying a coffin to the door to propose their relatives. Seeing this, the official at the door hurriedly stopped them at the door and hurried back to the house to report. Now the old prince only cares about having fun, and his son has also gone to court, and now all the big and small affairs in the house depend on the old prince's grandson.
"Young master, someone at the door asked to see him, and it is said that he came to propose marriage. A small servant said.
"Oh, who's that?" said Ling Yu, looking at the jade pendant in his hand.
"Young Master Hui, it's Boss Li of the coffin shop in the town. ”
"Boss Li, who does he want to marry!"
"Back to the young master, it's Yuru. ”
Ling Yu had never heard of Yuru, so he asked, "Who is Yuru?"
"She is the personal maid of the Lord of Linglan, or the villain will drive him away. ”
Ling Yu thought about it, now that her aunt is gone, it's useless to ask her, one less person and one less mouth to eat, it's not as beautiful as an adult. Since Na Lingxiao came to the house, not to mention the money for food, she also bought a lot of iron and gunpowder, and she didn't know what she was doing recently, so she ordered a lot of crystals. So many crystals, what a big expense for the palace!"Slow down, let him in!"
"But......," he said, said the man, carrying the coffin. "His dowry ......"
"Bring in all the dowry gifts!" Ling Yu picked up the tea on the table, just about to drink it.
But I saw many people walking in with dowry gifts, and they also put the coffin at the gate.
