Chapter 170, advance and retreat in an orderly manner
The door of the main house was slightly open, and from where Yu Xijiao was standing, it could be seen that it was at the door. See a brilliant red.
It's like some kind of big red cloth, and it's not very real.
Yu Xijiao stepped forward and pushed the door open directly, and when she saw the red tablecloth on the table in the middle of the room, her face sank: "Sister, Mrs. Zhengyuan's bones are not cold, and the mansion is already ready to do a happy event?" ”
The bright red tablecloth was placed on the table at random, and it had not yet been officially laid.
Not only on the table, but also on the side of the chair, there are also a few red cushions, there is a custom in the capital, if the owner of the house has passed away, the new owner should be ready to live in it, to go to the bad luck, to use the red cloth, otherwise it will be unlucky, will hinder the blessing of the new people.
"This ...... It should be a mistake from the subordinate. Seeing Yu Xijiao unceremoniously pushing the door, Yu Lanxue already felt bad, and hurried over, but it was too late.
"Someone mistaken? Mistaken for the courtyard of the dignified Marquis Marquis? Placed so many big red? Sister, although I grew up in Jiangnan, but I have also lived with my grandmother before, my grandmother told me about the customs in Beijing, I know that there is such a rule, I don't know which one in your mansion fell in love with the house of Mrs. Zhengyuan? ”
"Sister Jiao, this matter must be mistaken, during this time, grandmother and mother washed their faces with tears, so many things happened in the house, one after another, all like this...... My grandmother and mother didn't have the heart to take care of the house, and I didn't know who did it. ”
Yu Lanxue wiped the corner of her eyes with a handkerchief, her words were sincere, and her expression was sad.
I also secretly blamed my mother in my heart, I was too anxious, and I had to knock my mother when I went back and asked her to move all these things, who knows when there will be another person like Yu Xijiao, when the eldest aunt was alive, she was very good, even if because of the affairs of the Anguo Mansion, some people did not come to worship with great fanfare at that time, and now they will come over.
The identities of these people are also unacceptable.
"Mistaken?" Yu Xijiao didn't believe it.
"Sister Jiao, don't worry, I will investigate this matter in a while, and I will definitely find out who is so bold and dares to do this kind of thing." Yu Lanxue said angrily.
There is no prevarication, and the words are also hard, which can make people feel good.
Yu Xijiao was silent for a moment, and closed the door in her hand, "In this case, Sister Laofu will check it carefully." ”
"This was originally my job, but I let Sister Jiao and Sister Qing see the jokes of the Hou Mansion." Yu Lanxue said bitterly.
Since she said such a thing, Yu Xijiao was inconvenient to say more, and several people went to a flower hall to rest together.
sat down, and in order to show her innocence, the first thing Yu Lanxue asked the housekeeper to investigate.
Yahuan brought tea, and the three of them sat down as guests.
"Sister Jiao, I heard that the second sister sold her shop to you that day?" Yu Lanxue took a sip of tea, put down the teacup in her hand, and asked curiously.
"There's such a thing." Yu Xijiao nodded.
"This matter ......," Yu Lanxue wanted to say and stopped.
Yu Xijiao smiled slightly: "If the clan sister has anything, just say it." ”
"Sister Jiao, I don't doubt the truth of this matter, you don't have a lot of heart." Yu Lanxue said softly, raising a pair of eyes, revealing a bit of genuine concern.
"Clan sister, please talk about it." Yu Xijiao said unhurriedly.
"Sister Qing, can I trouble you to go outside first?" Yu Lanxue looked at Yu Zhuqing guiltily, looking like she was going to say something intimate to Yu Xijiao.
Yu Zhuqing stood up and said knowingly: "Sister clan, third sister, I'll go outside for a walk." ”
Yu Xijiao's long eyelashes fluttered twice, and finally smiled and nodded, and deliberately advised: "Eldest sister, don't go away, I'll come out to find you in a while." ”
"Third sister, don't worry, I've been to the Marquis Mansion several times, and it'll be fine." Yu Zhuqing said with a smile, and turned to leave.
Outside the door, Caiyun and Mingyue saw Yu Zhuqing coming out, and followed Yu Zhuqing one after the other.
Seeing Yu Zhuqing leaving, Yu Xijiao turned around to Yu Lanxue: "Sister, if there is anything wrong, please speak up." ”
"Sister Jiao, although you are new to the capital and have been raised in Jiangnan for so many years, I feel that you are very kind, as if you grew up with me......" Yu Lanxue said, first bringing the relationship between the two people closer.
Yu Xijiao unceremoniously interrupted Yu Lanxue's words: "Sister Clan is wrong, Sister Clan is several years older than me, and it is impossible for us to grow up together." ”
This was so choking that Yu Lanxue almost forgot what she wanted to say, but fortunately, she reacted quickly, and the smile on her face was still the same: "What Sister Jiao said is that I only said that seeing Sister Jiao is like seeing a friend who has been friends for a long time, so even if this matter is a little unruly, I still said it." ”
Yu Xijiao didn't answer, only raised her eyebrows, and listened to Yu Lanxue's next words.
Seeing that she was silent, Yu Lanxue continued to say gently and affectionately: "The matter of the second sister is very unexpected, no one expected this, the originally good family affair turned into a funeral, and now it is even more embarrassing for the two families, but everyone can't figure out why the second sister would sell all the shops and the like before getting married, this was originally what was in her dowry." ”
Yu Lanxue sighed when she said this, Yu Xijiao surprised her to appear here today, but these words were prepared early.
The Marquis of Zhengyuan's Mansion finally lifted the ban, but this reputation plummeted, and my grandmother's meaning, since the reputation is gone, I must ask for the real thing back.
Those shops were originally from their own homes, how could they be cheap for nothing.
"The reason...... I know now. Yu Xijiao said unhurriedly.
"Sister Jiao knows why?" Yu Lanxue was surprised.
"Naturally, I know that even if the county gentleman marries, but he finds that what he pays is not human, and it is imperative to marry, it should be the county gentleman who deliberately sold these shops, so as not to let outsiders get cheap." Yu Xijiao said disapprerovingly.
There was a lot of meaning in these words, Yu Lanxue's heart jumped heavily, she opened her mouth, and said after a long while: "Sister Jiao thinks so much." ”
"It's not that I think too much, it should be this reason, the dowry of the county monarch naturally can't fall into the hands of those people, what kind of marriage is destined, if the man has no affection at all, and even in the name of calculating the dowry, with the temperament of the county monarch, how can people get their wish."
Yu Xijiao sneered.
"This ...... Not necessarily......" Yu Lanxue is not easy to answer.
"Sister, is there still a fake thing to do now? The dowry of the county monarch finally fell to the Xinkang Mansion, and it had nothing to do with the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion. Yu Xijiao didn't give in for half a step, "Marquis Zhengyuan worked hard all his life and left such a large dowry for the county monarch, but now these dowries have actually returned to the Xinkang Mansion, if the county monarch knew about it, he should have sold everything out at the beginning." ”
There will be no one else, and Yu Xijiao will not give up half a step.
"I believe that the son of Kang Bo is a man of love." Yu Lanxue defended vaguely, and some couldn't resist Yu Xijiao's aggressiveness.
"Affectionate? Then why let Ling Mei into the house? What does it mean that the county gentleman stayed? My people used to do deals with the county gentleman, how did I hear that the relationship between the county gentleman and Ling Mei was not good? Why did the county monarch think of Ling Mei before he died, why didn't he think of his own brother? ”
Yu Xijiao sneered.
"It happened suddenly, what the second sister saw at that time was the third sister!" Yu Lanxue was reluctant to say more on this topic, "This matter has passed, whether it is the second sister or the third sister, they are no longer there, even if the dead person is at fault, it doesn't mean anything to talk about it now, it's just sad in vain." ”
"That's true, but I still think that the son of Xin Kang Bo is not very good, I heard that the son of Xin Kang Bo was in front of the mansion that day, in front of everyone, and said that he would return the dowry, and he has not acted until now." Yu Xijiao snorted disapprerovingly.
"And this?" Yu Lanxue was stunned, she really didn't know about this.
"Of course, this is still what the prince of Xinkang said in front of the people in the capital, and it was not only the people who heard this, but also other officials, and even the prince of Zhongshan, who almost had an accident that time." Yu Xijiao said.
"This is the ...... We really don't know in our house, and my sister also knows about what happened in our house before...... Now that the ban has been lifted, my father and eldest brother are injured, and now only orphans and widows are left in the house, and the news has leaked a lot. Yu Lanxue smiled bitterly, looking sincere.
Hearing her say this, Yu Xijiao's expression looked a little better. After examining Yu Lanxue for a while, she said: "My Guan clan sister seems to be completely different from Ling Mei. ”
This is the meaning of agreeing with Yu Lanxue.
"My sister...... In the past, she was spoiled too much, and Sister Jiao also knew that the most favored child often had what she wanted, and as for the other children, it depended on the others. Yu Lanxue sighed, there was no argument, no refutation, the words were full of helplessness, which can make people feel good.
These words are almost heart-wrenching words, which make people feel emotional when they listen to it, and they will empathize, especially like Yu Xijiao, who has been thrown in Jiangnan since she was a child, and she feels more and can resonate very much.
Seeing her say this, Yu Xijiao's expression looked much better, and her face was no longer cold, "What the clan sister said is that if it is just a matter of Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion, even for the sake of the county monarch's gratitude to me, it is okay if I am allowed to return a few shops, but I believe in Kangbo Mansion, no!" ”
Listening to Yu Xijiao's words, I feel very bad about the letter Comber Mansion, but this is also atmospheric, this matter is not something that ordinary family daughters can call the shots!
It is hard to believe that Yu Xijiao, who is delicate and soft in front of her, and looks still a little childish, said this, but Yu Lanxue believes it, I heard that it was Yu Xijiao's idea to buy the shop, and she specially sent someone from Jiangnan to Beijing to buy the shop, which shows that she is capable.
Thinking that Yu Xijiao must have a lot of money in her hands, otherwise it would be impossible to say such atmospheric words, Yu Lanxue's eyes flashed a little greedy, she didn't expect that there would be such an unexpected joy today.
What about this...... That's it! Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion is now very short of money!
As he spoke, a maid hurriedly knocked open the door......
