Chapter 24: Sheng Keqing cheated the Su family
After hearing Zhucui's report, Sheng Keqing and Liu Rumei said at the same time: "Su family?"
Then the two of them looked at each other, with a sinister smile in their eyes.
Came just in time!
In front of the Sheng Mansion, two young masters dressed in brocade robes were waiting in front of the door.
Although they are not similar in age, their appearance is very similar. They both have sharp eyebrows and phoenix eyes, handsome facial features, fair skin, and an innate nobility.
In addition to the difference in age, the difference between the two is also reflected in: one is calm and the other is unruly.
The two stood erect in front of the door, causing all the ladies and ladies passing by to lower their heads and blush, but they couldn't help but look back and peek.
"Brother, have you earned enough face to have a handsome man like me accompany you this time?" the man in white on the left teased in a low voice.
Although his figure did not move, his eyes, as bright as stars, were blinking brightly.
When the silver-robed man who was called "Big Brother" heard this, without raising his eyes, he lazily said: "If you weren't around, maybe those ladies would just throw themselves into your arms."
Seeing the man in white looking over in confusion, he said calmly: "You are too ugly. They are afraid of being confused by you when they come up."
Man in white:......
As soon as the two of them finished speaking, they saw Sheng Keqing walking out weakly.
The silver-robed young master, Su Yuanqing, came forward and handed the box in his hand to Sheng Keqing.
At the same time, he said: "Miss Keqing, my father and mother heard that sister Luo An was given a marriage by the Holy Spirit to the Marquis Palace family and will be getting married soon. They asked me to bring this and asked Miss Keqing to help deliver it."
Sheng Keqing was shocked, but still asked calmly: "Brother Su, you are far away in Weizhou, how did you know about the marriage so quickly?"
What she wanted to confirm was whether they had heard any other news besides the marriage.
For example, Sheng Luoan beat them violently.
If she knew, the Su family would no longer trust her in the future.
This directly cuts off the way to obtain a steady stream of wealth from the Su family.
Fortunately, Su Yuanqing just smiled elegantly and said: "Now that the imperial edict of marriage is spreading, it is not surprising that our Su family knows about it, right?"
After a pause, he added: "I sincerely thank Miss Keqing for taking care of my sister these years."
Hearing what Su Yuanqing said, Sheng Keqing immediately felt relieved: It seems that they blocked the news in a timely manner. The people of the Su family knew nothing about the marriage except the imperial edict.
So, she said gently: "Luo An is also my sister, so I should take care of her."
Worried that the Su family would continue to ask for other information, Sheng Keqing quickly continued: "Two brothers, Keqing will go in first to avoid being seen by my sister."
Su Yuanqing nodded.
At this time, Su Yuanmiao, who had been watching but silent, suddenly asked: "Miss Keqing, why is your forehead injured? It looks quite serious."
Sheng Keqing's heart sank, his eyes rolled, and he replied: "It's okay. I didn't pay attention when I was walking two days ago and bumped into the wall. Next time we meet, Keqing went in."
After saying that, he hurriedly went in holding the box.
Su Yuanmiao murmured: "Brother, don't you think this Miss Keqing is weird?"
Su Yuanqing had already turned around and walked towards the carriage. Hearing this, without looking back, he said: "It's not because sister Luo An doesn't like people from our Su family. She's afraid of being seen... Hey, are you leaving? You won't leave." I have to leave!"
When Su Yuanmiao heard this, he tapped his toes, jumped into the air, and flew onto the carriage.
"Brother, are we going back to Weizhou?"
"Otherwise! The gift has been delivered. What are you doing here if you don't go back?"
"Don't you want to see our sister Luo An get married?"
"Don't give me any wrong ideas!"
"Xie..."
As the carriage drove away, the conversation between the two became further and further away, until it was no longer audible...
On the other side, Sheng Keqing returned to Yingyue Pavilion with the box in hand, and Liu Rumei immediately greeted her with shining eyes.
While saying "Let's see what good things are given this time", he opened the box.
Immediately afterwards, he let out an exclamation: "Oh my god! The Su family is really rich and powerful. With this kind of appearance, I am afraid they are as rich as the country!"
Sheng Keqing took off the curtains and hurried over to take a look.
Sure enough, I saw a set of yellow heads and faces, golden and shining, lying in the box.
The emeralds on it are huge, shiny and dazzling. There are sixteen in total, each of which is carefully inlaid with bare gold.
It is not an exaggeration to say that wealth can rival a country.
Sheng Keqing and her daughter were very excited, feeling that they had earned such a set of pure gold treasures in vain.
After the two of them admired it for a while, Liu Rumei suddenly gritted her teeth and said, "Qing'er, put this mask away, don't let that little bitch see it. Doesn't she want a dowry that is like a legitimate daughter? I will satisfy her!"
"Mother, are you really going to give the dowry you prepared for me to that little bitch?" Sheng Keqing asked distressedly.
"You have to give it even if you don't give it. It's strange. How could she know what your grandfather said back then? Oh, no matter, instead of waiting for your father to give instructions, why don't I sell a favor and maybe make your father happy?
Look at me."
"But don't worry, I will only give part to her, and..."
Liu Rumei paused, and a hint of fierceness flashed in her charming eyes: "Since I gave her so much dowry, I must make her pay something!"
Four days later, the day for Sheng Luoan to marry into the Gong family came as scheduled.
On this day, Liu Rumei indeed prepared a dowry of one hundred and twenty-eight yuan for Sheng Luoan according to the specifications of the eldest daughter, and also filled in a lot of roommates.
Seeing the dowry filling the courtyard, Liu Rumei felt her heart bleed.
But when she heard the guests around her praise her as a generous and polite mistress, her heart, which was about to lose too much blood, finally regained some of its old blood.
When Sheng Luoan got up early in the morning, he was taken by Xipo to bathe and wash himself. After tinkering for a long time, he finally figured it out.
When Sheng Luoan, who was wearing a phoenix crown and harem and holding a fan in his hand, walked out of the room, everyone waiting outside was stunned.
Sheng Luoan's originally beautiful face was carefully painted, and his pair of black eyebrows were like the crescent moon flying into the clouds. The ends of his eyes were slightly raised, making his already bright moon-like eyes appear...
There is a trace of natural bewitchment, and the whole face is so beautiful that it is unreal.
If everyone takes a second look, they will intuitively feel that their souls have been stolen.
Sheng Luoan ignored everyone's looks of shock, amazement, and amazement, and walked towards the sedan chair calmly and calmly.
I secretly complained: I have never seen a beautiful woman before!
But at this moment, in the Hou Mansion and Gong Moye's courtyard, things were not peaceful.
A guard rushed in from outside and reported:
"Sir, my subordinates rode eastward for another two miles, but still did not see the Marquis."
Just as he finished speaking, another guard rushed back:
"Sir, my subordinates did not find the Marquis at the joint on the west."
"..."
Gong Moye's counselor, Shen Xian, paced back and forth in the yard with his hands behind his back, as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
What should I do? The bride is coming soon, but the Marquis has not come back yet.
Nine times out of ten, something unexpected happened.
After thinking for a moment.
He said to the guard with a solemn expression: "Go and take the Marquis's auspicious clothes to my room."
