Zhao Jingwen smiled happily, "My Xiaoshui is really sensible, okay, grandma will eat more." ”

"......" Liu Yujiao couldn't stand it anymore, and ran out of the room angrily.

On the other side of the Chaolu Courtyard, Su Qingyan stood in the courtyard, looking at the surrounding furnishings with cold eyes.

"Yi Huan, look at the stones used to pave the road under your feet, each one has been carefully selected, and you can't even see a little moss."

"Yes, even the courtyard where Yao Guogong and his wife live don't have such good things, Liu Yujiao really knows how to enjoy it."

"She has long regarded herself as a young lady, and naturally she wants the best in everything."

Yi Huan said disdainfully: "The heart is higher than the sky, and the life is thinner than paper, such a person is destined to have no good ending." ”

"Hmm." Su Qingyan's eyes searched around, and soon, he stopped at the flower garden, "Have you smelled any special fragrance?" ”

"Yes, I smelled a strange fragrance from the moment I first stepped into this courtyard, but the smell was very faint, and most of it was masked by the scent of flowers."

I don't know if it's because of pregnancy, Su Qingyan's sense of smell is extremely sensitive, and Yi Huan, as a native of Beili, has been dealing with all kinds of spices all year round, so he has also practiced a special way of distinguishing tastes.

"Could it be that someone has mixed something in the middle of the flowers?"

"There is such a possibility, Concubine Su will wait here for a while, and I will take a look."

Yi Huan walked into the flower garden with his feet raised, picked up the vigorous flowers and plants and looked at them, and found that there was something wrong with the color of the soil on the ground.

"Concubine Su, it seems that this place has been excavated, but it is well covered, and if you don't look carefully, you can't see it at all." "Find a shovel and dig it up."

"Yes."

Yi Huan picked up the wooden shovel in the corner of the courtyard, and after a while, he found several objects wrapped in oiled paper, "Concubine Su, dig it out." ”

"Can you tell what it is?

Yi Huan put the paper bag to the tip of his nose and sniffed it, choking on a bit of nausea, "It's musk." ”

Su Qingyan's face sank instantly.

On the first day she moved into the yard, Liu Yujiao gave such a big gift, which was really 'hearty'.

"This woman who doesn't know life or death dares to attack the child in your womb, so I will take the musk to the Duchess of the Kingdom to ask for an explanation."

"Wait." Su Qingyan called her, "Liu Yujiao was brought up by her mother since she was a child, and her feelings are like that of a mother and daughter, even if you take it, she will reprimand her at most without pain, after all, my child has not been harmed in any substance." ”

"It's too late to do harm."

"Don't know what to do, keep the musk well. If she does anything excessive, she will be brought to her mother together when the time comes, so that Liu Yujiao will never be able to turn over again. ”

"Okay, I'll listen to Concubine Su."

Now that the marriage has not had time to be handled, many trivial things are still in preparation, and this juncture is really not suitable for the storm.

"There may be other mysteries hidden in this courtyard, and I will search them carefully for a while, so as not to have any musk that has not been found."

"Okay."

Yi Huan carefully checked the entire Chaolu Courtyard, and as Su Qingyan guessed, there were indeed other things that affected the child.

"Concubine Su, you see, this mahogany table looks normal, but a lot of fine powder is sprinkled under a layer of glue on the surface, and if you eat and drink tea here for a long time, these powders will penetrate into the skin unconsciously."

"What happens if you infiltrate it?"

"The effect is similar to that of musk, but the effect is not so fast, and it is estimated that the child will not have an uncomfortable reaction until he is seven or eight months old."

Su Qingyan chuckled, "Good ability, it seems that I underestimated her." ”

"The Duchess of the Kingdom kept her like a treasure, who would have expected to raise a femme fatale woman."

"Liu Yujiao is very good at pretending to be pitiful, even if the matter is revealed, she can cry, make trouble and hang herself, and put all the fault on the heads of others."

"Concubine Su can be more wary of her in the future, so as not to be plotted."

"I'm measured."

I have fought against Yin Xiuxiu and Mu Yuehua several times before, and I have already developed experience, so it is not enough to deal with goods like Liu Yujiao.

The day passed quite peacefully, Zhao Jingwen was busy helping to prepare the dowry, and the dowry alone filled several large wooden boxes.

"Qingyan, your father has been clean for many years, and he hasn't saved too much family business, and I hope you don't dislike it."

Su Qingyan: "Mother, your daughter is already very moved by your thoughts, how can she dislike it?" Besides, you don't need so many dowries to get married, so let's take out some of them. ”

"How can this be done, you are now the daughter of the Guogong Mansion, and the person you marry is still a pro-Su dynasty, if the pomp is too small, won't you be laughed at by the powerful."

"My mother has worked hard for many years to run the family business, and she can't empty all the family foundation just for me to get married. In this way, I have made some money in business in the past few years, and I will send someone to bring some gold and silver utensils later, so that no one will chew on the root of the tongue. ”

Zhao Jingwen disagreed: "How can a daughter's family marry and pay a dowry by herself, this is not good." ”

"It's okay, anyway, Xiaoyaosu and I have had several children, so why pay attention to these. Getting married is just a formality. ”

“...... Alright then, just do as you say. Although Zhao Jingwen has a good impression of Su Qingyan, she is indeed a little reluctant to take out all her private money as a dowry.

Besides, in a few years, when she gets married, she still has to buy the dowry, if it is hollowed out this time, what will she do next time?

"Okay, let's settle it like this, mother, the Guogong Mansion is bothering you to take care of it more, I have to go back to the Su Mansion later to arrange other matters."

"Got it, be careful on your way."

"Okay."

Su Qingyan went back to Chaolu Courtyard to clean up a little, and soon, he left the Guogong Mansion with Yi Huan.

At about dinner time, the shopkeeper Guo came to see Zhao Jingwen in person, with more than a dozen large boxes behind him.

"Duchess Guo, I am the head of Concubine Su's subordinates, these are the dowries sent, please accept them."

"So much?" When had Zhao Jingwen seen such a big battle, she casually opened the lid of a wooden box and was dumbfounded.

It was full of gold, and it was surrounded by extremely precious jadeite roughs, and this box was almost top of everything she had prepared.

"Shopkeeper Guo, although the pro-Su marriage needs to be grand, but there are so many marriages, isn't it too extravagant7" "Mrs. Hui, all the money here is earned by Concubine Su by doing business on her own, so it is not extravagant.

Zhao Jingwen was choked and couldn't speak for a long time.

I had long known that Su Qingyan had established a chamber of commerce, and the business was still doing well, I thought that businessmen could only make a small profit at most, but I didn't expect it to be so rich.

"Then put it down, there is a shopkeeper Lao Guo to visit."

"Madame is polite, this is what I should do, in addition to Concubine Su's own money, we have also prepared generous gifts for our directors and cooperative merchants." The shopkeeper Guo clapped his hands, and another subordinate carried seven or eight boxes into the main hall, "These are also bothered to be sorted out by Mrs. Wang, and they will be written into the dowry list together when the time comes." ”

"Okay."

The things that should be done have been done, and the shopkeeper Guo did not stay, and after politely saluting, he took people away. Zhao Jingwen looked at the boxes of gold and silver treasures in a daze, and didn't know how to react for a while.

"Auntie, I heard that someone just came to deliver something, is that all?" Liu Yujiao learned the news and rushed over.
