Chapter 148 Where is the dowry hidden?
Gui Er took a sip of tea and said, "It's so dangerous, so dangerous." He still looked like he was still scared.
Li Muhao couldn't stand his cowardly and laughed at him, "You are so brave? But how did you offend Mrs. Qingning?"
Gui Er shouted injustice, "How could I offend her? I don't know her. I am just a person sitting at home, and disaster comes from heaven. I don't even know what's going on. Those people want to arrest me fiercely and ask me for dowry. My dignified man, how can I get a dowry?"
Li Muhao folded the folding fan in his hand, "Ha, I understand. She must be here to find your master's dowry. Your master is still in the dark, right? Why don't you hurry up and report her a letter?"
At that time, dozens of dowry were brought over from the Qingning Marquis' Mansion, which was very sensational. Li Muhao and his friends also became melon-eating crowds and watched the whole time.
"My master? When did I become a slave?" Gui Er pointed at his nose, a little confused.
Li Muhao was even more inexplicable, "Didn't you say you came from Mobei? Not who? Oh yes, the daughter born by Hou Qingning in Mobei, aren't you her slave?"
"No!" Gui Er rolled his eyes, "She has a good relationship with my master. My master asked her to take care of me. Sometimes I call her a girl, sometimes I call her sister, but I am not her slave."
"No, it's not. Isn't it okay to say the wrong thing?" Li Muhao had a rare good temper. Because Gui Er cured his difficult problem, he still had some friendship with Gui Er. "You really don't go and tell me about that sister?"
"I can't repay you." Gui Erwen said in a muffled voice, and his head was slouched.
Li Muhao thought he could not enter the Marquis' Mansion, so he turned his eyes and actively helped him out, "I'll help you, this is enough, I know the prince of the Qingning Marquis' Mansion. I'll visit you, pretend to be my servant, and I will take you to the Qingning Marquis' Mansion. How about it, is this prince good enough?" He looked proud.
Gui Er glanced at him, "She was not in the Marquis' Mansion."
Li Muhao was shocked, "Isn't in the Marquis' Mansion?" He thought of a possibility, "Has he been sent to the village?" This is how his mother was disobedient to the concubine's daughter in the mansion.
Gui Er glanced at him again, with a very disgusted expression, "You are thinking too much." What are you thinking? If you want to give up, it is the girl who gives up on others. How could she be sent down on the farm?
Is this the girl talking about too many inner dramas?
"The girl is out of the capital." Gui Er said, "Aren't there suddenly many rumors about unfavorable girls in Beijing some days ago? She left the capital and went to the Lin family's hometown in anger."
Gui Er regrets not going with him now. What's the point of Beijing? Xiaokang and Xiaotang have left, and he and Lao Cangtou, who is guarding the door, don't even talk to him.
Li Muhao suddenly realized, "Oh, I understand. Mrs. Qingning Hou was taking advantage of your sister's absence from Beijing to move the dowry, but she didn't find it."
His face was filled with gloating.
Although he didn't know Mrs. Qingning Hou and Miss Lin Si, he had a relationship with Gui Er, so he naturally had a bit of incest with Miss Lin Si. Moreover, he didn't like old women like Mrs. Qingning Hou.
"Let's have a relationship? Let me tell me where the dowry was hidden?" Li Muhao approached Gui Er, looking mysterious. Why did he be sure that the dowry was hidden? Because he has lived in this house in the past few months and has never seen the next door carry anything out.
"How can I know? I'm just a resident person. I don't know if they hide the dowry or not." Gui Er continued to roll his eyes at Li Muhao, "Little thing, I want to come and confuse me?" Can I tell you?
"I really don't know? I'm coaxing me?" Li Muhao didn't believe it.
"I really don't know." Gui Er looked calm, "It's not an important matter. If I knew, wouldn't I tell you?" Xiaoyao, you are the one who is guarding against you.
The short time in Beijing has become very knowledgeable. Especially after meeting Li Muhao, a group of playboys, he understood why his master drove him out to practice.
It turns out that people cannot be simply distinguished by good or bad. It turns out that human nature can be like this without any limit!
Seeing this, Li Muhao believed it a little and turned to something else.
Gui Er was full of thought, could he live next door? What if the old woman killed her and shot her back? I don’t know if the medicinal materials he planted in the yard were ruined by them? Forget it, forget it, he would better go to the shop to live.
Alas, I don't know when the girl will be back.
Jin Jiuyin, who was far away in Linjiazhuang, naturally didn't know that Jiang had confiscated her house, but she had expected that she would do this, so she hid her dowry. The cunning rabbit still has three holes, not to mention that Jin Jiuyin is a smart person.
Both Jiang and Li Muhao's guesses are correct. They are bulky and heavy, so it's really hard to move out. However, with Xiao Tang here, he is not only good at making hidden weapons, but also designs mechanisms to secretly tell.
So the dowry is hidden in the rockery in the house. The servants of the Hou Mansion passed by the rockery again and again, but no one noticed it. Even if someone really had a whimsical idea, he would not be able to open the mechanism without understanding it, right?
On this day, Magistrate Qian returned to the Houya with a serious look on his face. The Magistrate's wife was very happy, "You are so early in the yamen today? Is there little work today?"
Magistrate Qian did not answer her question, but said, "Madam, that lady in Linjiazhuang, don't go and inquire again."
"Why?" The magistrate's wife was surprised.
"I told you not to inquire, just don't inquire." As if I realized that my tone was not very good, Magistrate Qian said again: "I received some news, but I can't tell you in detail. As long as you know that the lady is not up to you, we can't get to the top. No matter how much you have, it will cause trouble."
The magistrate's wife was frightened, "Hey, I know." She planned everything for her son, so she naturally loved her son. She would not do anything that was unfavorable to her son.
Seeing this, Qian Magistrate comforted her, "Don't be afraid, let's stay away from Linjiazhuang in the future." However, he was a little confused. The daughter of the Qingning Marquis' Mansion. The Qingning Marquis did not send anyone to say hello to him, but his upsurge told him to take care of the lady more.
Could it be that Hou Qingning disliked his low-ranking position and disdained to deal with him?
No matter what the reason was, Magistrate Qian felt how ridiculous his wife had before. She was the real daughter of the Hou Mansion, so how could he, a little magistrate, dared to suffice?
Autumn harvest is the most tiring. Every year, Ge is very worried about the autumn harvest. She has four acres of paddy fields, so how can she do it alone? Cutting, transportation, fighting, and drying, this is not a person's job.
Please ask someone to help? Everyone has land, and they are afraid of rain, so they all want to take the food back home as soon as possible. Even if they help, they have to work closely, and they will only go to help others after they have collected it.
He just spent money to hire a short-term worker, but he couldn't bear to leave it. Ge, a woman, could she save up how much money she can't save up all year round? No one around him could count on him, so he couldn't save some money with him. He couldn't bear to spend it easily.
So every autumn harvest, Ge is alone, and he goes to the field before dawn. Fortunately, his third uncle and his parents' brother will come to help after finishing their work. Even so, she is so tired that she is seriously ill.
This year is different. At the beginning of the autumn harvest, Ge did not go to the ground. Jin Jiuyin waved her hand and the maid and servant cut the four acres of land in just one day and transported them home. The newly built house was large and flat, just for drying grain.
Looking at the golden grains in the yard, Ge smiled and told everyone that she was enjoying the blessing of her eldest granddaughter. No one in the village would be envious.
The villagers next to the third uncle's house saw that his family was working with sickles in the field. With that malicious intention, Tete ran over to talk to Wang, "I just met your aunt, and her family had all collected all four acres of land. How could they say that it was easy to work? There were more than ten servants, and Aunt Ge would not have to suffer this year."
Then the topic changed, "Your father-in-law is over fifty, right? Your aunt didn't ask her servants to come and help you?"
Wang didn't raise his head, "We have many family members, and the cutting will be done in five days at most."
"Your family is also stupid. The ready-made servants will not use it."
Wang argued, "Those are all servants of the Marquis' Mansion------"
"Are you stupid? Don't worry about who is the servant, you are the servant after all. Are your father-in-law or the uncle of the marquis? What's wrong with using the servant? Besides, in the past, weren't your family helping your uncle?"
The mother-in-law Wang, who was cut in front of him, straightened her waist and shouted dissatisfiedly: "I said to Wang family, why are you going to be sluggish? Don't think that you don't have to work if you marry a daughter-in-law, my old woman is still doing it."
Wang responded, "Hey, here, here." His sickle swung faster.
"Why are your mother-in-law still caring about so much------"
As soon as he said something solicited, he heard the loud voice of the third uncle's third voice sound again, "Li Erni, you a long-mouthed old woman, are you idle? If you are so idle, come to work for my house."
Li Erni spat at her, "Why do you think so beautiful?" She hasn't finished her own work yet.
"Then you get out of here and don't delay my daughter-in-law's work."
Li Erni retorted unhappily, "I didn't talk to you, why are you still so cares about it?"
"What's the point of being wide? You can try standing on the ridge of my field again. If you believe it or not, I'll give you a sickle." He waved the sickle and was about to come over.
Li Erni was so scared that she ran back to her own field. Her mouth was not clean and she was so dirty that she scolded the "crazy woman". When the third uncle beat her, she was a stingy man when she was young, and she really dared to chop people with a sickle. Li Erni didn't think she was so powerful, but she actually felt sorry for her. Why would she talk to Wang and not look for her?
Although the third uncle couldn't hear anything she scolded, he knew it was definitely not a good thing, "What are you scolding? Believe it or not, I tear your mouth?"
Li Erni went to her own field, and the old man and her son were around, and she was confident, "Why did I scold you? You falsely accused a good person. I also have a kind heart. You are just a bad temper. Look at your sister-in-law's house has been cut, and so many servants have not said to help you cut."
As soon as he finished speaking, a loud voice rang out, "Uncle, old lady, we old lady ask the young ones to help you harvest."
As soon as Li Erni turned around, she saw seven or eight servants standing in Uncle San’s field, holding a sickle in her hand.
Everyone in the nearby fields burst into laughter, making Li Erni's face dark. Her husband glared at her fiercely, "I know how to break my mouth all day long, and I'll come to work after death. I'll do this when I'm old. If it weren't for the sake of my sons, I'll beat you to death."
Li Erni's husband has a bad temper and she was beaten a lot when she was young. When she saw the old man getting angry, she immediately didn't dare to say anything.
With the help of the third uncle's family, they were harvested quickly, three or four days earlier than in previous years. The third uncle and his wife smiled from ear to ear when they looked at the food on the field. Just like Ge, they praised Jin Jiuyin for being sensible and filial.
For a time, Jin Jiuyin's reputation in the village reached a new level.
After harvesting and planting, Lin Yingchun's marriage was also put on the agenda. She said that her husband's family was not far from Linjiazhuang. Her surname was Liu, and she had two brothers in her family. He was the eldest son.
Liujiazhuang is different from Linjiazhuang. Liujiazhuang has little land, but by the dock, the Liu family opened a restaurant shop and planted vegetables at home. The daily life is that the Liu family’s parents and their youngest son work in the restaurant, while Yingchun’s son-in-law drove a car to the city to sell vegetables. They worked hard all year round and made a lot of money, and the family was quite good. Otherwise, the third uncle would not be willing to marry his granddaughter.
Jin Jiuyin also went there on the day of adding makeup. Several girls from the village sat in Lin Yingchun's room, all of whom came to add makeup to her. Jin Jiuyin gave a lot of makeup gifts, just two pieces of cloth, one piece of fine cloth and the other piece of silk, all of which were festive colors.
This made the girls present envious. The girls in the village had good relationships with me just gave me a veil or a purse. Not to mention two pieces, even a cloth head of two feet is considered a gift.
They all envied Yingchun for having such a daughter-in-law. Will they be able to wear a silk dress in their entire lives?
Lin Yingchun was also very happy and said, "What are you doing so much?" He looked at the color of the fabric and loved it indescribably. Yes, no one in the young girl doesn't like dressing or dressing up?
Jin Jiuyin smiled, "You know, I don't lack these things. Just accept what I give to you, don't be polite to me."
Lin Yingchun knew that she really wanted to give it to her, and knew that she really didn't need it, so she accepted it openly.
After the other girls who had added makeup left, Jin Jiuyin took a box from Taohua's hand and handed it to Lin Yingchun, "Some pieces of valuable jewelry will be kept for you to wear for your family, Sister Yingchun."
Lin Yingchun opened it and saw it, and was startled and closed it immediately, "No, no, it's too expensive, I can't ask for it."
A whole box of gold and silver jewelry, and it was said that it was worthless, was almost scared to death? They only had two pieces of silver jewelry in their family, and her mother only had a set of old silver faces, so she took it out and wore it on the New Year. And she was about to get married, so she was willing to buy her a pair of silver lilacs.
The two pieces of fabric are already very expensive, so she never dares to collect this box of jewelry.
Jin Jiuyin pushed back again, "I can't write two forests in one stroke, who can't let us get along well? Besides, you treat me very well when you return to the village yourself. You think it's expensive, but it's really nothing to me. Please keep it, let the brother-in-law of the Liu family see it. It's not a loss to marry our Lin family girl."
He forced the box to Lin Yingchun.
