Chapter 40: Gengti
Lei Gong Village is an hour away from Yongzhou Mansion, and a group of three people are led by Steward Sun's carriage to Yongzhou Mansion.
When I arrived at Yongzhou Mansion, it was just a meal.
Steward Sun led Xiao Luoyi and his wife into a large mansion surrounded by high walls of blue bricks.
When he entered the door, Xiao Luoyi glanced at the two stone lions at the door: This house is quite magnificent, and it is really a rich family.
It was the wife of the Sun family who came out, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she didn't ask them to do things immediately, but asked Sun Guan to arrange meals in advance.
Steamed fish, braised pork, braised chicken...... A table of dishes, at first glance, it is heartfelt.
Xiao Luoyi and Chen Huaijin are not polite people, let alone asking the star Taoist, the three of them hula lala ate a table of food, and then they cleaned their hands and faces with the hot handkerchief handed by the servant and went to the flower hall.
The surname of the lady in charge is Hu, and Mrs. Hu's eyes fell more on the chief of the asking star: after all, the chief of the asking star is famous.
Xiao Luoyi's gaze also fell on the Daoist of the Asking Stars: You ask.
Ask the star chief to wink his eyes: Roger.
So he asked the star Taoist chief and asked, "I don't know what Mrs. Hu wants me to find?" ”
Mrs. Hu's face was embarrassed, and she dismissed the maid and servant, leaving only a personal mother-in-law, and the mother-in-law spoke: "My eldest lady is married to someone, and now the Geng post given to us by the other party is gone, and I can't find ...... everywhere."
Gengti?
Ask the Star Daoist and Xiao Luoyi glanced at each other, and they were both a little surprised: How could this thing not be seen?
Ask the Star Dao Leader cautiously asked, "Where was it put before?" Have you ever thought of another way to find it? ”
The mother-in-law started and simply said together: "The trustworthy maids in the yard have searched around, but they really haven't found it, and they have been tried and questioned...... I didn't find it, and I really couldn't help it, so I thought of inviting you to come. ”
"Can't you ask the other party to make up one?" Ask the star Taoist to know the importance of Gengti, which is used in the ceremony before the two parties get married.
"This ...... It's just not very convenient. "The mother-in-law twisted and pinched, and refused to speak thoroughly.
It's always hard to report this kind of thing, right?!
Wenxing was confused, and subconsciously looked at Xiao Luoyi.
Xiao Luoyi thought for a while: "Where is the box where Geng Ti was stored?" ”
The woman nodded hurriedly, turned around and went to find the box.
It is a beautifully carved yellow rosewood box, and it attaches great importance to this Geng post at a glance.
Xiao Luoyi didn't answer, and asked the star to divinate first.
After asking the star divination, he was stunned: "I can't see it!" Xiao lady, look at ......"
Xiao Luoyi pinched his fingers and said with a calm face: "Heavenly Opportunity Covers, the person who took Geng Ti used Xuanmen means to cover his whereabouts. You have to tell the truth, or we won't be able to help you. ”
Mrs. Hu's face changed, and she exclaimed, "What did you say?" The other party used Xuanmen means? ”
Xiao Luoyi nodded, did not speak, only looked at Mrs. Hu.
"This ......" the mother-in-law also looked at Mrs. Hu in embarrassment.
Mrs. Hu was silent for a while, and then she sighed and made up her mind: "If this matter is not resolved, the eldest sister will be delayed later." Let's talk about it. ”
This time, it was Mrs. Hu herself who said it.
It turned out that Mrs. Hu had a daughter-in-law, named Sun Xueyao, who had a relationship with Peng Shu, the son of Peng Shouliang, the mayor of Songfeng Town, when she was young.
With the support of nobles, Peng Shouliang has only been ten years old, and he has become the prefect of Yongzhou!
The Sun family is naturally happy: marrying the prefect will make their own business much better in the future.
Over the years, the prefect has indeed provided a lot of convenience for the Sun family's business, and the Sun family has accumulated a lot of wealth and has become one of the top three wealthy households in Yongzhou Prefecture.
is also because of the support of the prefect, no one dares to stumble behind his back.
Seeing that the girl is getting older and the marriage is on the agenda, I have to take out the Geng post that was originally married and prepare for the marriage, only to find out at this time: Geng post is gone!
The Sun family was in a hurry at that time!
It was originally a sure thing, but now it suddenly lost Geng Ti, if this matter reaches the ears of the prefect Peng Shouliang, I can't tell what the other party thinks? !
Because of this relationship, the Sun family did not dare to report to the official, so they had to investigate in their own house.
I can check and check, but I can't find out who did it!
The Sun family also invited the Taoist priest next to him to check the location, but after some tossing, he didn't find it.
Seeing that the other party was about to come to the door in six days, and had no choice but to do so, the Sun family gritted their teeth and went to ask the Star Dao Chief.
Who would have thought that he couldn't find it if he asked the Star Dao Chief!
Xiao Luoyi thought for a while: "If you want to find this Geng post, it's not impossible, but I need to meet your eldest lady." ”
Mrs. Sun looked at the star and asked: "Is this Xiao lady ...... reliable?"
Ask the star Taoist with a serious expression: "Mrs. Xiao is someone who my master must respect." ”
Ask the Master of the Star Dao?
Guangyan Dao Chief?!
That's amazing!
Mrs. Sun's eyes when she looked at Xiao Luoyi were immediately different, with awe in her eyes.
This thing is easy to do, Xiao Luoyi is also a woman, Mrs. Sun immediately stretched out her hand and signaled: "Mrs. Xiao, please." ”
This is to lead Xiao Luoyi to his daughter's yard.
Xiao Luoyi asked Chen Huaijin and Daoist Wenxing to wait here for a while, and then followed Mrs. Sun inside.
Sun Xueyao's yard is very exquisite, and it is obviously very favored, after entering the yard, the maid maid led Xiao Luoyi in, and Xiao Luoyi saw a little girl who was delicate from head to toe.
It's really hair that's fine to the tip of the toe.
The little girl walked like a weak willow supporting the wind, and walked over and saluted Xiao Luoyi.
Xiao Luoyi sighed in his heart: This is Miss Qianjin! Look at this move......
Fortunately, I don't have to pay attention to the rules in every move, otherwise...... Suffocate to death!
After taking his seat, Xiao Luoyi asked about the situation again.
Sun Xueyao looked at her mother.
Mrs. Hu gestured: "You say it again to Mrs. Xiao." ”
Sun Xueyao said it again, and there was no difference between what Mrs. Hu and the mother-in-law said.
However, Xiao Luoyi pinched his fingers, but his expression became solemn: "Miss Sun, do you have anything to say to me in private?" ”
Sun Xueyao looked dazed: "What? ”
Xiao Luoyi's expression was serious: "If you have something to say to me in private, let them all go out, and you can tell me again." If not, then I'll say it later, and you won't regret it. ”
As soon as she said this, Sun Xueyao's face also changed: "You...... What did you say? I don't understand. ”
But in the end, it was a teenage girl, and her face suddenly changed, and she could still see it.
Mrs. Hu naturally saw it, and her face changed: "Dead girl, do you have something to hide from your mother?" It's a big deal, don't be fooled! ”
Xiao Luoyi smiled and took a sip of tea.
Sun Xueyao met her mother's gaze, hesitated for a moment, and changed her aggrieved expression: "Mother, I really didn't do anything." ”
Didn't do anything?
Xiao Luoyi had a little spiritual power at his fingertips, drew a search talisman in the void, and pointed it on the yellow rosewood box that his mother-in-law put on the table.
Then Xiao Luoyi smiled and looked at Mrs. Hu: "Mrs. Hu, I can help you find this thing, but I want a thousand taels of silver, and I have a condition......"
