Chapter 179 Juan Niang was stolen
Seeing Li Qing talking like this, Xiaoyun was reluctant. pouted and said disdainfully, "Their family treats Layue so much, why should they repay virtue with resentment?" My brother often says that there is a kind of person in this world who is like an immature wolf, if you don't take advantage of their illness to kill them so that they will never turn over, once they are seized of the opportunity to turn over, they will not care about what they were when they let them go, pull them a hand, keep you clean and clean, there are no bones left, now we have known Layue for so long, what is the mother and son in this house, Sister Qing, can't you see it? They're the kind of wolves that can't be fed. ”
Afraid that the two of them would quarrel, Layue hurriedly played a round game, took the two azure porcelain vases on the table and opened them to beckon them to look at them together, "It's hard to get together once, and what are you doing with all these troubles?" Come and see the baby pink rouge I made and give me some advice. ”
The two of them really didn't argue about this anymore, and they both came over to look at the rouge of Layue, and Mama Chang added another charcoal basin, and then withdrew.
Layue took off the jasper hairpin on her head and picked up a little rouge for the two of them to put in the palm of her hand, and said, "This is the rouge that matches the plain jewelry and clothes from your shop in Jinling last time I heard Yunqing say." At that time, Yunqing said that the rouge that was too strong in spring and summer always felt heavy and depressing, if it could be matched with a light pink, and add some pearl powder to brighten the rouge, I don't know if it will look good, I thought about it, and took the time to do it to take a look, and I originally wanted to ask you to give it a try, but it happened that the two of you came. ”
The two of them spread the rouge lightly and evenly and wiped it on their lips in the mirror, Xiaoyun wore a bright red feather gauze cardigan snow gown today, this pink rouge is a little bit unmatched, but she is a girl's family, and her personality is lively and jumpy, and the too gorgeous rouge is vulgar instead, this pink dot on the lips, pressing down her pungency for two points, showing two points of tender shyness, adding a lot of color to her.
Li Qing usually has a gentle temperament, and her mother-in-law's family is a big family, and the etiquette is very serious, so it is impossible for the bride in the family to wear such a pale rouge, and she is not a widow, so it is unlucky to dress up like this.
So she just looked in the mirror, praised politely, and then found a bright red color and repainted it.
Xiaoyun couldn't put it down for a long time, and finally took the rouge in his hand and said, "Why don't I take it back, that is, my brother will come back in the next few days, and it's time to show him." ”
Layue smiled and nodded, Li Qing looked at the two of them, and secretly frowned again: Layue and Xiaoyun seemed to be extremely close, and Layue did not shy away from calling the name of Shi Dagongzi when she spoke, which was really inconsistent.
Thinking of those rumors from the outside world and staring at Layue, Li Qing fell into deep thought.
After sending Li Qing and Xiaoyun away, Layue was blocked by Juan Niang at the door.
Layue paused for a moment and said with a smile, "He just came?" Don't worry about you?"
Juan Niang hummed softly, rubbing her hands uneasily, looking like she wanted to say something.
Layue frowned slightly, "Something?" ”
Juan Niang hummed again, waved off the subordinate, and then looked at Layue earnestly and pitifully, "Sister......"
Before she could finish speaking, Layue raised her hand to interrupt her, "I've always wanted to say it, don't call me that in private, I'm an only daughter and I have never had any sisters, and I'm not used to being called that, you just say it directly." ”
Juan Niang was embarrassed, for fear that Layue would leave with her feet up, so she hurriedly said the right thing, "I want to know, this time there is such a big thing in the family, 10,000 taels of silver, will the city ask us to pawn the dowry again, I ...... I want to keep my money and live with my cousin in the future...... It's also looser. ”
La Yue sneered, suddenly thought of her life experience, and said mockingly, "Isn't your father the prime minister of the court?" Anyway, you are also the daughter of the Prime Minister's house, and when you go back, you cry a little and admit your mistake, are you still worried about the future? ”
Juan Niang's face was red, and she was so ashamed that she couldn't lift her head. But in the end, he didn't have the courage to confess his life experience, so he had to lower his body and beg Layue, "I have always known my sister...... Young lady, you are resourceful, this time you are really sincere in asking, the city will definitely force me to hand over the dowry when I wake up, and the last dowry was only redeemed for more than a month, and it is not warm yet...... Please. ”
Layue doesn't like to help people who don't have the same temper as herself, but Zhao Zheng did help a lot this time, so she kindled her a little.
She casually straightened the buttons on the placket of the crane's clothes, raised her legs and said in a low voice the moment she staggered past Juanniang, "If your valuable things are stolen, won't you be able to take them out......"
In all fairness, Juan Niang is not very smart, in addition to pretending to be weak and pitiful, and shedding tears at every turn to win men's sympathy, if her little thought and means were to put up the wives and concubines of other wealthy families, she would have been killed a hundred times, and there would be no scum left.
But this woman has a unique talent, as long as it comes to things related to money, she will be very open-minded, and she will be very clear-sighted.
No, looking at Layue's back and being stunned, she immediately understood the meaning of Layue, her heart suddenly brightened, and she hurriedly went back to prepare.
That night, while the mother and son who were in charge of Zhang's house were sick and had no time to take care of the family, there were even thieves in the mansion who sneaked in, took the opportunity to steal four or five boxes of Mrs. Ping's jewelry, jewelry, gold, silver and jade pendants, and also scratched one of Mrs. Ping's arms who came up to tear with the thief.
Hefu was alarmed.
When the city and the old lady heard the news, they both supported their bodies to visit, and saw that Juan Niang cried into tears, her eyes were swollen like walnuts, and the city couldn't bear it, and the old lady felt sorry for her unborn grandson, so they comforted together.
The old lady didn't know that something had happened to the porcelain kiln, and the subordinates had been instructed by the young master to cover up the matter so that the old lady wouldn't know.
"Okay, stop crying." The old lady persuaded her daughter-in-law, "Isn't it just some jewelry, it can be worth a few dollars, and my mother will add it to you in the future, and I have already sent someone to report to the official, whether I find it or not, my mother has put her words here, your lost property, when my grandson is born, I will make up for it for you twice, okay?" Don't cry, if you hurt your body, you will suffer by yourself. ”
It doesn't matter what she said, Zhicheng almost vomited blood and died when she heard it, my mother is used to throwing money with a big hand, and she really dares to give anything to others, and she doesn't look at what the situation is at home now.
The more I looked at it, the more upset I became, thinking of the debt of 20,000 taels of silver on my shoulders, one head and two big ones, and I still thought of Layue after thinking about it. Yueniang is the most capable person, if you want to help, not to mention anything else, even the eldest son of the Shi family can help them get through the difficulties by pulling out a hair.
Besides, the relationship with Yueniang has eased a lot in the past two days, and I begged her, she shouldn't leave this family alone. Since she didn't say anything about leaving, Yueniang must still have this family in her heart, and she doesn't want to see this family fall.
