The Landlord And His Wife - Chapter 131
On October 16th, the dowry and dowry gifts of the Shi family were sent, babbled to the first door of the suona, and then stood at the door and blew, and all the dowry gifts were carried in the door, The suona continued to play until the two tunes were played, and all the dowry gifts entered the door.
Liu Xuer was sitting in the room wearing bright red clothes, and Mrs. Quanfu, who was invited by the Shi family, came in to comb her hair and put on hairpins, and a few young daughters-in-law came along to put on temples. Dressed neatly, he went out and took out the letter of appointment and the letter of ceremony, and handed it to Liu Changgeng. Liu Changgeng and He’s received it, and the return salute will be offered here.
Some relatives from the family came outside, and they also came to Hexi for the banquet.
After a lively day, Liu Xuer waited for everyone to leave at night, then changed her clothes and ate her first meal of the day. Now she is at ease, this marriage should be a sure thing . She naturally didn’t know anything about what happened to the Shi family, and Shi Cheng didn’t plan to tell her that after getting married, Xu’er and his daughter-in-law were well-known people, so they would naturally deal with them with all their might.
As for the bride price, to be honest, Liu Changgeng and He Shi really didn’t think much. They felt that they should give their daughter how much bride price. What’s more, they have already made up their minds, most of the dowry will be given to the daughter as a dowry, and this is the daughter’s own money in the future.
Liu Changshi brought He Ruyu, Xiaowa, Old Man Liu and Liu Gao all came. Liu Changqi came by himself. With Liu Yun’er coming to add to the crowd.
Please set a date for the marriage, because both parties are still young, Shi Qian meant to marry at the age of fifteen, Shi Cheng agreed very much, he wished he could get married at fourteen! However, when I arrived at Liu Xuer’s side, I felt that it was still a little early, so we discussed and discussed, and finally decided to get married at the age of sixteen.
On November 30th, the Liu family’s two shops are taking stock. Starting tomorrow, their shops will be closed and will not open until the 16th day of the first lunar month.
Willow trees and willow forests are all there.
Liu Xuer also wanted to go, but Shicheng happened to come and told her something very surprising.
“I have already found out some things about your third uncle’s third son.” The shop door was closed, Shicheng came over and sat on the chair outside the counter, with his long legs stretched towards the counter The last ride directly blocked Liu Xuer’s way out, and she couldn’t walk even if she wanted to.
What’s more, she was very interested when she heard this, so she hurriedly asked: “What’s the situation?”
Shi Cheng hummed: “I’m from the seaside in Shandong, my parents are fishermen, I don’t know if I was kidnapped or sold when I was young, or I ran out of it myself, anyway, I became a businessman. Concubine, it was later given to your third uncle.”
Liu Xuer looked at him in shock.
Shi Cheng shrugged: “That’s it, the person doing business is in Hanzhong Mansion, who runs a porcelain shop, and there are concubines and aunties beside me, I can’t tell how many, they do business with him. Man, as long as he can ask for it, he likes to give such a woman.”
Liu Xuer was shocked for a long time, and found a strange place: “Since she is such a woman, it is reasonable to say that she has no contact with her family… How can she still give her nephew a daughter-in-law here?”
Shi Chengdao: “It is said that after following your third uncle, he went back and got in touch with his family. This nephew was also seen at the end of the previous year and started following your third uncle. I’ll learn to do business later. I haven’t heard about the others. If you want to know the details, you can only go to Shandong to ask, but it’s even more difficult…” Having said that, Shicheng looked at her: “Xu’er, you know that How old is your nephew?”
Liu Xuer shook her head: “I don’t know… it’s not even thirty?!” She suddenly widened her eyes!
She guessed this mainly because of Shi Cheng’s expression, Shi Cheng smiled and shook his head: “Thirty is too exaggerated, this year is 20 years old… This is also very exaggerated! You are only twelve years old. , your third uncle is not a person at all! When the wind blows by that girl’s pillow, the mother doesn’t treat you as his family at all.”
Liu Xuer sneered coldly: “You just know! I always thought my third uncle was very insidious… He always seemed to be helpless. He never leaves home… Anyway, he always pretends that the people around him are more at fault than him, and everything he does seems to have a last resort, but in fact, I think he is the worst one!”
Shi Cheng nodded and said, “It’s not a good thing anyway!” He shook his feet on the counter and said, “There’s something surprising!”
“Also? Can you finish it all at once?” Liu Xuer gave him a blank look: “What’s the matter?”
Shi Cheng shook his head: “I’m looking for someone to stare at the place where the third child is. There is a person who is a frequent visitor to that house. Guess who?”
Liu Xuer was about to say she didn’t know, and then something suddenly seemed to come to her mind, she immediately asked, “Could it be Liu Yuner?!”
Shi Cheng nodded in surprise: “That’s right! It’s her! How did you know?”
“It was the time when Liu Tao was bitten by a snake, my mother and I went out to buy food and saw her go looking for that woman… Liu Yuner was just like her mother. Flatter yourself, and step on your feet if you don’t have money.”
Shi Cheng said: “But there is one thing to pay attention to. The person who was looking for it was staring at the house, but more than once I saw Liu Yun’er and that nephew coming in and out together… The woman’s name is Fang Yun, The nephew’s name is Fang Jicheng. Liu Yuner and Fang Jicheng don’t seem to have an ordinary relationship.”
Liu Xuer said in surprise: “Ah? No way?” She thought about it and said, “This matter… Why do I feel that something is not right? There is always a sense of conspiracy?”
Shi Cheng nodded: “Yes! I don’t think so! I think I should check what business your third uncle does, what is the origin of Fang Yun and Fang Jicheng, especially this Fang Jicheng , is it really Fang Yun’s nephew? Why can such a big nephew come to join his aunt? What about his family? At least his father should show up, right? But I haven’t seen it.”
Liu Xuer shook her head: “You really should check it… By the way! Who are you checking this with? Your servant?”
Shi Cheng was stunned for a moment, but she didn’t expect her topic to change so quickly, but quickly shook her head: “It’s not my servant… I’m not stupid, I’ll find someone to investigate this kind of thing in your family. , maybe my mother will know it in a blink of an eye, if you tell my mother to know, won’t you send your shortcomings into her hands?”
Liu Xuer sneered: “It’s okay, it’s okay… After all, he is a good son and a good husband who has experienced the struggle between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law!”
“嘁!” Shi Cheng disdained her compliment, and added: “I’m looking for someone who specializes in this, collect money to check the background, if it doesn’t work, I’ll ask you to go to Shandong! Check it out thoroughly! What business does your third uncle do?”
Liu Xuer nodded: “It’s best to check it out, I don’t think it’s a serious business, if it’s something illegal, we have to prepare early, such people should stay away, So that we won’t be implicated in the future!”
“Yes, that’s it!”
The two talked for a while, and their stomachs were hungry. Now that the two have engaged , the big girl is not easy to show her face casually, Shicheng still wanted to eat with her, so he could only go out and buy something to bring back, and the two of them ate together.
After dinner, I sent Catkins home, and Shicheng also went back. His mother was in a bad mood these few days, and she always felt like she was looking for trouble. Shicheng didn’t want to mess with her mother, and there were trivial things happening before marriage.
time to come back.
Shi Chengniang is not at ease. After all, business people, when they are outside for a long time, will always have something unclear. Besides, Shi Cheng’s father is not a person without background, and now there are With a certain family background, there are always women with ulterior motives who want to move up. What’s more, when you open a restaurant there, you have to ask people for help, drinking and going to a brothel all day long. These are all inevitable. If you get drunk one day and cause some romance, you will make Shi Chengniang angry.
Shi Chengniang just knew that she would always go to those places when doing business, and she was always worried when she stopped staring at her, so she was upset and wanted to follow. Hanzhong Mansion is not far away! At such a close distance, if something goes wrong, wouldn’t it be done under your own eyes? Then Shi Chengniang was about to die!
You can go to Hanzhong Mansion, what should I do at home? Shicheng is big enough to rest assured, Shi Qing is still small.
Shi Cheng knew what his mother was thinking, to be honest, he really wanted his mother to follow his father to Hanzhong Mansion! On the one hand, he is relaxed and free here, and on the other hand, he does not have to be too careful when doing things.
Not to mention the Shicheng family.
Liu Xuer went home today and waited for her brothers to come back to count the year’s bills. It was originally expected to be back at You Shi, but who knew that it was dark and dinner time had passed. Haven’t come back yet.
Liu Changgeng was worried, went out to pick him up, and it took another half an hour before he came back. When Liu Xuer heard the voice, she hurried out to greet everyone. Seeing that everyone was doing well, it didn’t seem like something was wrong, so she hurriedly asked, “Why so late?”
Liu Lin said: “Don’t mention it! The uncle came to call Liu Tao away in the morning! We are few and we didn’t eat lunch when we were busy!”
Liu Xuer said in surprise: “What’s the matter? Isn’t Liu Tao going to go back tomorrow? Catch this day?”
Liu Shu hurriedly said: “It’s not in a hurry, it seems that something has happened at home, the uncle’s face is blue, the veins on his forehead are jumping, and he doesn’t say anything, pulling Liu Tao to coax I coaxed and left, and I asked if I wanted to help, but I just said no, and the figure is gone!”
Liu Sen shouted ‘hungry’! He had already rushed into the main room, and was kicked out by Mr. He after a while to wash his hands.
Liu Changgeng said while entering the house, “Hurry up and wash your hands and eat! I can’t know what’s going on today, I’ll go back and ask tomorrow.”
Willow and Willow agreed, and went back to their house to wash their hands and change their clothes. Liu Xu’er was a little pondering here, wouldn’t it have something to do with Liu Yun’er? But it seems that it can only be related to Liu Yuner… The uncle called Liu Tao away, what can he do?
