Chapter one hundred and seventieth, advance and retreat in an orderly manner
The door of the main room was slightly open, and from where Yu Xijiao was standing, she could see the position right at the door. She saw a very bright red.
It looks like some kind of bright red cloth, but I can't see it clearly.
Yu Xijiao stepped forward and pushed the door open. When she saw clearly the red tablecloth placed on the table in the middle of the room, her face darkened: "Sister, Mrs. Zhengyuan Hou's body is not cold yet. Is the house already preparing for a happy event?
"
The bright red tablecloth was placed haphazardly on the table and had not been officially laid out.
Not only on the table, but also on the chairs next to it, there are also several bright red cushions thrown away. There is a custom in the capital that if the owner of the house has passed away, the new owner must first remove the bad luck and use it before he is ready to move in.
Bright red cloth, otherwise it is unlucky and will hinder the happiness of the new residents.
"This... the servant must have made a mistake." Seeing Yu Xijiao push the door rudely, Yu Lanxue already felt bad and hurried over, but it was too late.
"My servant made a mistake? Mistaken the courtyard of the dignified Madam Zhengyuanhou? Placed so many red ones? Clan sister, although I grew up in the south of the Yangtze River, I also lived with my grandmother before. My grandmother told me about Jingzhong
We know that there is such a rule in the local customs and customs, but I wonder who in your family fell in love with the house of Madam Zhengyuan Hou?"
"Dear sister, this must be a mistake. During this time, my grandmother and mother were in tears. So many things happened in the house, one after another, all like this... Grandma and mother have no energy.
In charge of the mansion, I don’t know which servant did this.”
Yu Lanxue wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, speaking sincerely and looking sad.
I also secretly blame my mother for being too impatient. I have to beat my mother when I go back and ask her to move all these things away. Who knows when someone like Yu Xijiao will come again, when my eldest aunt is still alive.
, he is a very good person. Even though some people did not come to worship with great fanfare at that time because of the affairs of An Guo Gongfu, they will come now without any reason.
The identity of these people is also something that cannot be waited for.
"Made a mistake?" Yu Xijiao didn't believe it.
"Don't worry, dear sister, I will investigate this matter soon. I will definitely find out who is so bold and dares to do such a thing." Yu Lanxue said angrily.
There is no excuse and the words are firm, which makes people feel good.
Yu Xijiao was silent for a moment, then closed the door in her hand, "In that case, I'd like to trouble my sister to check it out carefully."
"This was originally my responsibility, but Sister Jiao and Sister Qing saw the Hou Mansion's joke." Yu Lanxue said bitterly.
Since she said such words, Yu Xijiao didn't want to say any more, and they went to a flower hall to rest together.
After sitting down, the first thing Yu Lanxue did to show her innocence was to ask the housekeeper to investigate.
The maid brought tea, and the three of them sat down as guest and host.
"Sister Jiao, I heard that the second sister sold all her shops to you that day?" Yu Lanxue took a sip of tea, put down the teacup in her hand, and asked curiously.
"There is such a thing." Yu Xijiao nodded.
"This matter..." Yu Lanxue stopped talking.
Yu Xijiao smiled slightly: "Sister Clan, if you have anything to say, just say it."
"Sister, I'm not doubting the truth of this matter. Don't worry about it." Yu Lanxue said softly, raising her eyes with some real concern.
"Sister clan, please tell me." Yu Xijiao said calmly.
"Sister Qing, could you please go outside for a walk first?" Yu Lanxue looked at Yu Zhuqing guiltily, as if she wanted to say some thoughtful words to Yu Xijiao.
Yu Zhuqing stood up and said knowingly: "Sister clan, third sister, I'm going to go outside for a walk."
Yu Xijiao fluttered her long eyelashes twice, and finally nodded with a smile, and specifically warned: "Sister, please don't go away, I will come out to find you in a moment."
"Third sister, don't worry. I've been to Zhengyuan Hou's Mansion several times and everything will be fine." Yu Zhuqing smiled and turned around to leave.
Outside the door, Caiyun and Mingyue saw Yu Zhuqing coming out, and followed Yu Zhuqing one after another.
Seeing Yu Zhuqing leave, Yu Xijiao turned around and said to Yu Lanxue: "Sister Clan, if there is anything wrong with you, please speak up."
"Sister Jiao, although you have just arrived in the capital and have been raised in Jiangnan for so many years, I feel that you are particularly kind, as if you and I grew up together..." Yu Lanxue said, first talking about the two of them.
Relationships get closer.
Yu Xijiao interrupted Yu Lanxue rudely: "Sister Clan is wrong. Clan Sister is several years older than me. It is impossible for us to grow up together."
These words were so choked that Yu Lanxue was so angry that she almost forgot what she was going to say. Fortunately, she responded quickly and the smile on her face remained: "What Sister Jiao said is true. I only said that seeing Sister Jiao is like seeing
I have been a friend for a long time, so even if this matter is a bit against the rules, I still said it."
Yu Xijiao didn't answer, she just raised her eyebrows and listened quietly to Yu Lanxue's next words.
Seeing that she was silent, Yu Lanxue continued to say gently and affectionately: "What happened to the second sister is very unexpected. No one expected this. What was originally a good marriage turned into a funeral. Now it makes the two families feel even more embarrassed. It's just that everyone
No one can figure out why the second sister would sell all the shops and other things before getting married. This was originally part of her dowry."
Yu Lanxue sighed when she said this. She was surprised that Yu Xijiao appeared here today, but she had prepared these words early.
The Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion was finally released from the ban, but its reputation plummeted. My grandmother wanted to get the real things back since the reputation was gone.
Those shops were originally owned by my family, how could I get Yu Xijiao's discount for nothing?
"This reason... I know now." Yu Xijiao said calmly.
"Dear sister, do you know the reason?" Yu Lanxue was surprised.
"Of course I know that even if the county prince got married, he found that what he paid was unfair and he had to marry someone else. It should be the county prince who sold these shops on purpose to avoid letting outsiders get an advantage." Yu Xijiao said disapprovingly.
.
There was so much meaning in these words that Yu Lanxue's heart skipped a beat, she opened her mouth, and after a while she said, "My dear sister, you really have a lot on your mind."
"It's not that I think too much, it should be this reason. The county prince's dowry naturally cannot fall into the hands of such people. It is said that the marriage is destined by heaven. If the man has no friendship at all, he even uses the name of calculating the dowry to do it.
How can the county prince’s temperament allow people to fulfill their wishes?”
Yu Xijiao sneered.
"That's...not necessarily..." Yu Lanxue couldn't answer this question.
"Sister, is it true that things are still fake now? The county prince's dowry finally ended up in the Xinkangbo Mansion, and has nothing to do with the Zhengyuanhou Mansion." Yu Xijiao refused to give in, "Zhengyuanhou has worked hard all his life.
, left such a large dowry for the county king, but now the dowry actually belongs to Xin Kangbo Mansion. If the county king knew about it, he should have sold everything out."
There were no other people around at this moment, and Yu Xijiao refused to give in even an inch.
"Prince Xin Kang Bo is a person who values friendship and loyalty." Yu Lanxue defended vaguely, somewhat unable to withstand Yu Xijiao's aggressiveness.
"Are you serious about friendship? Then why do you want your sister to enter the mansion? What do you mean by the county king staying? My people used to make deals with the county king, but why do I hear that the relationship between the county king and your sister is not good? The county king is here.
Why did you think of your sister before you died, and why didn't you think of your biological brother?"
Yu Xijiao sneered.
"The incident happened suddenly. It must have been the third sister that the second sister saw at that time!" Yu Lanxue was unwilling to say more on this topic. "This matter has passed. Both the second sister and the third sister are no longer here. Even if
The person who died had some faults, and now there is no real meaning in saying it, it is just a sign of sadness."
"That's true, but I still feel that Prince Xin Kangbo is not very good. I heard that Prince Xin Kangbo was in front of the mansion in front of everyone and said that he would return the dowry, but he has not taken any action yet." Yu Xijiao disagrees.
He snorted coldly.
"Is there such a thing?" Yu Lanxue was stunned. She really didn't know about this.
"Of course, this is what Prince Kangbo said in front of the people in the capital. It was not just the people who heard this, but also other officials, and even Prince Zhongshan. That time Prince Zhongshan almost had an accident." Yu Xi
Jiao said.
"This matter... we really don't know about it in the house, and my sister also knows about it. What happened in our house before... has just been released. My father and eldest brother are both injured. Now there are only orphans and widowed mothers left in the house.
The news was also leaked a lot." Yu Lanxue said with a wry smile, her expression sincere.
After hearing what she said, Yu Xijiao looked a little better. After looking at Yu Lanxue for a while, she said, "My sister Guanzu seems to be completely different from your sister."
This is the meaning of agreeing with Yu Lanxue.
"My sister... I was so pampered in the past. My dear sister also knows that the child who is favored the most often gets whatever he wants. As for the other children, it depends on others." Yu Lanxue sighed.
, there was no argument or rebuttal, the words were full of helplessness, which made people feel good.
These words are almost heartfelt. Listening to them makes people feel emotional and empathize with them. Especially for someone like Yu Xijiao, who was thrown into the south of the Yangtze River since she was a child. She feels even more deeply and can resonate very much.
Seeing what she said, Yu Xijiao 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 Hou Mansion, even if it is because of the county prince's gratitude to me,
Come on, if you ask me to return a few shops, it’s okay, but Xin Kangbo Mansion, you can’t!”
Hearing what Yu Xijiao said made me feel very bad about Xin Kangbo Mansion, but these words were also grand. This matter is not something that a daughter of an ordinary aristocratic family can make the decision about!
It's hard to believe what Yu Xijiao, who looked soft and childish in front of her eyes, said this, but Yu Lanxue believed it. I heard that it was Yu Xijiao's idea to buy the shop.
She specially sent people from Jiangnan to Beijing to buy a shop, which shows that she is capable.
Thinking that Yu Xijiao must have a lot of money in her hands, otherwise she would not be able to say such grand words, a bit of greed flashed in Yu Lanxue's eyes. She did not expect that there would be such an unexpected surprise today.
Then this matter... is settled! Zhengyuan Hou Mansion is short of money now!
While talking, a maid hurriedly opened the door...
