The rich and noble peasant daughter

Chapter 316 Bloody disaster, use money to solve the problem
Yun Yao sneered and said, "He insisted that if I got married that day, there would be bloodshed."

It is no wonder that Yun Yao is so annoyed that her great wedding event is said to be bloody.

It would be fine if this Daoist Qingxu was really capable, but Yunyao knew his roots very well, and knew that this master was a fake master.Hearing those words, I really wished I could get rid of his fame-seeking face.

Yun Xi hurriedly comforted her sister, "Don't be angry, since he said with certainty that you had a bloody disaster that day, he will definitely arrange a bloody disaster for you at that time."

Her eyes turned cold, but her calm tone contained a hint of murderous intent.This Qingxu Taoist's reputation has been spread all over her younger sister's head, and it is the most important wedding day in a woman's life.

A very dangerous thought flashed across Yun Xi's mind: directly kill this ghost Qingxu Taoist.

It's just that Taoist Master Qingxu obviously has someone behind him, and he is someone who is always being watched closely. If he makes a move, he must be careful to eliminate all traces.In this regard, Yun Xi is still a little confident, but she wants to catch the person behind the scenes first and then deal with this Taoist Qingxu.

Yun Yao gritted her teeth: "Sister, when will it be revealed that that person is not a flower picker?"

Yun Xi poured her a cup of tea and told her to calm down, "There are already some clues. We have already gone to Shen Liu's hometown. He had a seriously ill mother, a gentle wife and a somewhat stupid man in his hometown. Son. Then some time ago, Shen Liu asked someone to give them 2000 taels of silver, and asked them to buy land and live well."

2000 taels of silver can buy [-] acres of fine paddy fields in other places, so he can be called a small rich man.

After investigating this matter, Yun Xi understood why Shen Liu would bear all the crimes on herself.

Yun Yao was startled, and said, "Why should he do this?"

She was not a fool, so she could tell that Shen Liu did this for the sake of his family.

Yun Xi said: "2000 taels, for many people, even if they earn two lifetimes, they will not be able to earn that much money." Most people can earn one or two taels a month, which is pretty good.

Yun Xi continued: "There are traces of Shen Liu's experience before he came to the capital. Judging from those experiences, he is definitely not the flower picker." Witnesses can also be found.

Yun Yao clenched her fists, "Then hurry up and send that deceitful Taoist Qingxu to court."

Yun Xi smiled and said, "Anyway, he's over there, so he can't run away. It's not too late to send him there after the big fish is caught."

Yun Yao nodded, after being told by her sister, she was no longer as angry as she was at the beginning.She turned to show Yun Xi the women's red embroidery she embroidered, with a proud face, "It's too troublesome to embroider those mandarin ducks, so I'll just embroider some poems."

Not to mention that the workload is greatly reduced, and it looks very elegant.

Yun Xi couldn't help laughing, "Hey, I haven't seen these poems before."

Yun Yao chuckled, "This one, Qu Sang wrote it for me." Her tone was full of complacency.

Yun Xi knew that the relationship between Qu Sang and Yun Yao was very good, but she didn't expect that she would help out.It can only be said that things like poetry depend on talent, and her and her sister's talents in this area are only ordinary.

After Yun Xi had a good talk with Yun Yao, she stayed at Du's house for a meal before going back.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was the day of the make-up ceremony.Some invited guests come to the door on this day.

Originally, Yun Xi only planned to send over the makeup gift, but she was still in Xiaozhong after all.According to the thinking of people in this world, Dai Xiao's words are better not to attend weddings, or they will run into each other.It's just that Yun Yao said that she will only have this big wedding in her life, so she naturally hopes that Yun Xi will also participate.As for the collision or something, she wasn't worried at all.

Du Zhoushi and Du Yifu also had the same opinion.

Since her relatives didn't care about these red tapes, there was no need for Yun Xi to wrong herself.She changed into plain clothes and left.

Speaking of which, she also wanted to help Lu Yiran bring makeup this time.Before Lu Yiran left the capital, he had already handed over the prepared makeup gift to her.

Yun Xi's two cousins, Du Lei and Du Rui, are only seven or eight years old now. These two children are quite talented in reading, and Yun Xi specially hired a juror for them to teach them at home.Although the Du family is supported by her, the future position will ultimately rest on the twins.

Yunyao added makeup, and Du Zhangshi also brought Du Yong and Du Qiang over, as well as Du Yong's wife He Shi.Yun Xi felt that if Yunyao hadn't married very well, according to Du Zhang's patriarchal temperament, how could she come from Fenghuang County to add makeup.

Mrs. He's appearance is not bad, but he is a bit shrewd, and he is flattering Mrs. Du Zhou affectionately.

She stretched out her hand and didn't hit the smiling person, but her words were funny, and today was the girl's make-up ceremony, Du Zhou always had a smiling face.

After she came over, He smiled and said, "Is this my sister? My sister has really made a name for us in Fenghuang County. When the old lady and I went to the city, I heard the driver keep praising my sister for all these years. Good job."

Yun Xi just smiled faintly, and said, "It's because of their reputation."

He said: "Sister is really too modest."

Then he praised Yun Xi inside and out again, and after complimenting Yun Xi, he exchanged greetings with Du Yunxia and asked her about some business matters.Du Yunxia's fast food restaurant has now opened several branches, and the business is quite big, and she is already a successful person in the eyes of the world.For the sake of relatives, Du Yunxia also mentioned something to her, and Mrs. He listened very seriously.

Yun Xi had to admit that this Mrs. He is indeed a person who can do things well, but it is just right, not too annoying.Du Yong has such a wife to take care of the housework for him, so he can put down his worries.

Yun Xi raised her feet and went to the room to see Yun Yao——she came early today, and most of the guests she invited hadn't come to the door yet, and Yun Yao was just flipping through books in the room bored.

Yun Xi directly handed the two boxes to her, pointed to the nanmu box and said, "This is my makeup gift for you."

"Where's the other one?" Yun Yao's eyes fell on another bigger rosewood box.

Yun Xi pursed her lips and smiled, "That's the makeup gift Yiran prepared for you before leaving the capital."

Yun Yao directly opened the princess's first, and inside was a box full of pearls, each of which was warm in color and as big as a knuckle.Yun Yao's eyesight has also grown from experience now, and she said, "This is the tribute for this year."

She remembered that her sister also received some, and gave some to her and Dodo, who both used it as a present.

Yun Xi said: "Yes. But I don't think you are short of pearls. This box is not in a hurry to keep it for making. It's good to keep it. These are the pearls from the South China Sea. Even if they are left for five years, their luster will not fade. of."

Yun Yao smiled and said, "When sister writes to the princess, don't forget to say thank you for me."

Then she opened the box Yun Xi sent.

What Yun Xi gave was very real, directly a thousand mu of land.

Yun Yao shook her head and said, "I don't lack land now." Her dowry has quite a lot of land, who told their family to buy land by buying land.

Yun Xi said: "Take it, when you, Duo Duo, and Yu Rong get married, I will each give a thousand acres."

This dowry is very expensive in the eyes of others, even worth the dowry of officials and eunuchs, but it is really nothing in Yun Xi's eyes.She has earned enough money that she has to spend it now and then.Besides, she would be happy to give her sister a gift to make her get married more decently.

"Then I won't be polite." Yun Yao said to her, "Nian Jia and Nian Han don't know what's going on now."

Some time ago, it happened to be the anniversary of the old lady's death. Yu Nianjia and Yu Nianhan had been raised under the old lady's knees since they were young, and they had a deep relationship, so they had to go back and secretly offer incense to her no matter what.Yun Xi asked a few girls from the Baiyi School to escort them back.They may be able to catch up with Yunyao's wedding banquet, but they will not be able to catch up with the makeup ceremony.The two sisters also gave Yun Yao a make-up gift in advance, which was nothing more than a jewelry purse.

Yun Xi said: "I think Nian Jia has the idea of ​​joining the Baiyi Sect."

Yun Yao pursed her lips and said, "Her aunt is really unkind."

Yun Xi said: "No woman would like to see her husband and other women give birth to children. But if she can take care of her husband from the beginning, then I can still admire her. It's just that she can't stop her husband from taking a concubine. But instead, he vented his anger on the concubines, not treating them as human beings, which is disgusting."

Yun Yao changed to another topic, this time talking about He Shi.Originally, the object of Du Yong's betrothal was the daughter of another scholar in Fenghuang County.At that time, Du Zhang naturally took a fancy to his in-laws as scholars, which would benefit the future studies of his two grandsons.At that time, Du Zhangshi brought Du Yong to the capital in order to buy a decent dowry for Du Yong.Yun Xi and Da Fang's family also gave them 1000 taels of silver.

It's a pity that heaven failed to fulfill people's wishes, but that scholar became a juren back then, so he naturally looked down on Du Yong, his son-in-law.In the end, the family just found a reason to cancel the marriage.Later, Du Yong fell in love with He Shi himself and made an engagement with her.

It's just that Mrs. Du doesn't like He's very much, thinking that her family is really not good.

There is only one elderly mother in He's family, and all the fields add up to less than [-] mu.In particular, what Du Zhang didn't like was that after He married, he brought his mother here, which was tantamount to letting Du Yong support Mrs. He.

Yun Yao said: "I think grandma is too unreasonable, she is only a widowed mother, how much can she eat and use? If this He family doesn't care about her old mother after marrying, I think her character has something wrong. Besides, Mrs. He is very filial to grandma, so what else is she not satisfied with?"

Yun Yao thinks it doesn't matter if her family is poor, as long as the girl's family is good.Besides, before He's marriage, he reached an agreement with Du Yong on this matter, and Yun Yao didn't think she did anything wrong.

Thinking of these problems of the parents and the west, she suddenly felt that it would be good to marry Deng Changming, and no elders would point them out.

Yun Yao curled her lips and continued to complain, "And you don't know, grandma complained to me. She said that Duo Duo is just your sister's distant cousin, and she married better than me."

When Yun Yao heard her say that, she almost vomited blood.Getting married doesn't just depend on the status of the partner, no matter how high Ming Zuoting's status is, she doesn't like him, how could she marry him.

Yun Xi sympathized with Yun Yao very much, and said, "Don't worry, she shouldn't be here soon." After the incident with the tablet, Du and Zhang were a little cautious when facing her.Coupled with the fact that Yun Xi's status is getting higher and higher, Du Zhang naturally dare not make irresponsible remarks and put on airs in front of her.

Yun Yao snorted, "She still has to stay to attend my wedding, plus it's almost Chinese New Year... she won't go home until next spring."

Yun Xi said: "No... I'm afraid she will stay longer. Duo Duo is going to get married next year, and she probably won't go back until she finishes her participation."

"Yeah, then my mother won't be annoyed to death by her."

Yunyao herself is about to get married, so she is not very worried, she just worries about her mother.

Yun Xi said: "She is just nagging at most, how dare she say too much."

She chatted with Yun Yao inside for a while, and guests came to add makeup one after another. Because Yun Xi was still wearing mourning, it was naturally difficult for her to go out to entertain guests.

Speaking of which, Yunyao's dowry this time really opened the eyes of people in the capital.When Yun Xi got married back then, the dowry was also very generous, but she was famous for making money, no matter how much dowry was, everyone took it for granted.

What Yunyao did was beyond their expectations.Over the years, Yun Yao has opened a shop, written storybooks, and occasionally gambled with Yun Xi. Up to now, she has accumulated 30 to 3000 taels of silver.Deng Changming's ability to make money is not inferior to hers. When he was hired, he was also given [-] taels of gold, as well as many rare treasures.

Du Zhou loved his daughter so much that he added all the betrothal gifts to Yunyao's dowry, so the total amount was quite impressive.

There are [-] mu of fields in Fenghuang County, her hometown, and [-] mu of paddy fields in the capital. There is also a hot spring village that Yun Xi gave her earlier, plus a few shops.Many other silks and satins are tributes.The face is even more eye-catching, and those gems almost dazzle everyone's eyes.

Many people couldn't help exchanging amazed glances - last month, the eldest daughter of the governor of Shuntian Prefecture didn't have such a generous dowry when she got married.

Some people with good calculation skills have already figured it out: Even if you don't count the money at the bottom of the box, these dowries add up to at least 30 taels.They didn't know that Yunyao had left 20 in cash at the bottom of the box.

In fact, because many fields belonged to several companies that were originally copied, it was much cheaper to buy than the market price.In addition, jade, pearls, and gold are all complete, and when making the face, you only need to pay a labor cost.Therefore, the money spent on purchasing this dowry was not as much as expected.

When everyone knew that Yunxi directly added a thousand acres of land and gave away a hot spring village before, they couldn't help feeling that they were really sisters.

Yun Yao has also met quite a few people over the years, and many of them are either rich or expensive, so the makeup gift is quite considerable.Because Yunyao is Wuweizi's disciple, Wuweizi also sent him a lot of gifts, basically all of them are rare and good things, the most eye-catching one is the immortal immortal carved from suet jade .

Mrs. Du was originally a bullying person, and the guests who came to the door were all indescribably rich and dignified, so she didn't know how to arrange her hands and feet.She also heard from the servant girls that many of them are wives of the first and second grades.She is usually trembling in front of Mrs. Seventh Rank, and First and Second Ranks are even more unimaginable to her.

Originally, she wanted to meet some noble people, but when she stood in front of them, she couldn't say a word.On the contrary, He Shi behaved much better than her. Although he was a little cautious, he was not very rude overall.

Seeing that she was completely outmatched by her grandson-in-law, Mrs. Du simply found a reason to leave and took Mrs. He away with her.

Yun Xi was very speechless when she found out, and what made her even more speechless was that after adding the dowry, Mrs. Zhang said to Mrs. Du Zhou: "Why does Yunyao need so much dowry, why not keep some more for Lei'er and Rui What about you. Lei'er and Rui'er will be the ones who will take care of you in the future."

Between words, he was very dissatisfied with giving Yunyao so much dowry.

Mrs. Du Zhou replied: "Speaking of which, I didn't give Yunyao any dowry. These are all the money she earned by herself over the years. Our family also needs face. How can we be greedy for children's money."

As for the subsidy she gave to Yunyao privately, there was no need to tell her mother-in-law.

Du Zhou's two daughters can make money and have skills, which makes her proud, but at the same time, she occasionally feels a little depressed that she can't help.

After hearing this, Du Zhang didn't say anything.She originally thought that living the life of an old lord in Fenghuang County was good enough, but after seeing Yunyao's dowry, she realized that her annual expenses may not be comparable to a piece of jewelry for her granddaughter.

There must be some sour emotions, but more regrets.If she had gotten along well with the elder son's family from the very beginning and established a good relationship...

Perhaps it was because the dowry made Du Zhang realize Dafang's family background. After adding the dowry, she became more and more pleasant to Dafang's family.

Du Zhou thought about it, and finally felt that the problems that can be solved with money are not considered problems. In addition, their family's current annual income is 3 to 20 taels.Originally, Du Yifu gave her mother ten taels of silver a month, and would also give some silk and satin during the festivals.This time the husband and wife had a two-on-one discussion and decided to give [-] taels of silver a month.Du Zhou also plans to transfer the [-] mu of land in his hometown to Du Zhang and give it to her for safekeeping.

She also thought very clearly, rather than letting her mother-in-law see that their life was prosperous, and finally couldn't help but stay at home and live with her, it would be better to spend some money.She was living a good life, and she didn't want to have another person pointing fingers at her.

Of course, if Mrs. Du Zhang's heart is not enough, then she still has the medicine that her niece gave her to make her rest bad.If it really endangers his peaceful life, Mrs. Du Zhou will not be polite.

Just as Mrs. Du Zhou thought, after she told Mrs. Du about this and gave her the land deed, Mrs. Du pushed back with a smile on her face.

She pretended to push it for a while, and under Du Zhou's insistence, Du Zhang finally accepted the land deed with an air of reluctance.

Mrs. Du Zhou even said: "It's almost Chinese New Year, Hongxiulou also sent some fancy patterns over, and my mother also picked some fancy patterns, so that I can give you a set of golden noodles at that time."

Hongxiulou is also a good jewelry store, the price is lower than Dianjiangge.According to Yun Xi, it was a store with a high price-performance ratio.

When Du Zhang heard that there were new jewelry, she immediately smiled and said, "I'm already old, so I don't need any jewelry."

"Your grandson-in-law is a county man. On the day of Yunyao's wedding, of course, mother must dress up properly."

In the end, Mrs. Du chose the one she liked, all of which were rich and noble.Du Zhou felt that it was a bit too vulgar, so he picked out some generous and dignified jewelry, and also gave her some emeralds.She also had a good impression of He Shi, remembering that after she got married, she didn't give any gifts, but also gave her a set of silver noodles, and also gave her a few gold hairpins.

The Du Zhou family didn't favor one another, and Du Qiang's nephews had also reached the age of marriage.She also gave Du Qiang 500 taels of silver and a set of silver noodles for her future second nephew and daughter-in-law.

These added up to two or three thousand taels and went, but Du Zhou didn't pay much attention.Just like what my niece always said, problems that can be solved with money are not problems.

After Yun Xi knew what her aunt did, she couldn't help but feel that her aunt was indeed a lot better, and she really couldn't fault the slightest bit, and everyone was happy.

……

After sending the makeup gift, Yun Xi continued to stay in the mansion.She didn't forget about Taoist Qingxu either, and she watched him closely every day.

Taoist Qingxu didn't see any movement, he was chanting scriptures in his thatched hut every day.

A few days before the big wedding, Yun Xi received a message from Lai San.A few hooligans in the South Street of the capital city recently received some money to let them pass the sedan chair with dog blood on the day of Yunyao's wedding, and then pretend to bump into the sedan chair unintentionally.

Lai San said: "That local ruffian didn't dare to offend us, after dealing with that person, he asked his subordinates to secretly deliver the news to me."

When Lai Sanyi came over, he immediately expanded the scale of the Wanshiwu in the capital, learning from Fenghuang County, and developed some small beggars into eyeliners.Yun Xi felt that if this continued, sooner or later a so-called gang of beggars would be established.

Yun Xi sneered and said, "The bloody disaster of feelings should be here."

Even though Taoist Qingxu seemed to be keeping himself in order, Yun Xi guessed with his knees that it was related to him.

Yun Xi said: "Who bought that ruffian?"

Splashing dog blood on the sedan chair on Yunyao's big wedding day, on the one hand, it can improve the reputation of Qingxu Dao, and on the other hand, it can ruin Yunyao's wedding for the rest of her life, making the Du family sick. Bundle.

The person who came up with this idea has no idea how much malice he has towards the Du family.

Lai San raised his eyes and said: "The one who bought that ruffian is the adopted son of the Fourth Prince's nanny."

Fourth Prince Chu Xi?
So Daoist Qingxu is actually a member of the fourth prince's lineage?
Many details quickly flashed through Yun Xi's mind.If it was him, could it be that he resented Yun Xi's refusal of Concubine Li face to face before, so he caused some trouble for the Du family?
No, no matter how small-minded the fourth prince is, he won't be so narrow-minded as to plan a woman's wedding. On the contrary, it's more like a means of a woman's backyard...

A name has already appeared in Yun Xi's mind: Concubine Li.

I'm afraid this matter was written by Concubine Li.

However, the other party's biggest purpose should be to expand the reputation of Taoist Qingxu, disgusting the Du family is only second.

Yun Xi's eyes shone with wisdom, and the corner of her mouth slowly curled into a gentle and harmless smile, "Let that bastard take over the job."

It's just that the person who wants to splash dog blood will have to be changed at that time.

She told Lai San to run this matter well, and Lai San listened carefully, and began to plan to give them a good look.

Anyway, something really happened at that time, and I followed the clues to find Li Concubine's head, which would definitely make her suffer so much that she couldn't tell.

Yun Xi also had some understanding of Concubine Li's state of mind.The eldest prince and the second prince have completely lost hope, and the marriage of the fourth prince has also been settled. His fiancée is also the governor's daughter, and there are countless officials in the family, so they are very powerful in-laws.The fourth prince was even sent to the Ministry of Officials by Chu Xiyuan two months ago to practice. Chu Xiyuan also seemed to value this son very much.

No wonder Concubine Li wanted to help her son fight for the position.

Yun Xi didn't like Chu Ling very much, but she hated Chu Xi even more.Even if she doesn't like Chu Ling, she has to admit that Chu Ling does have the qualifications to be an emperor. At least he is diligent in doing things, and he is not like a child of the Tian family who doesn't treat ordinary people as human beings. He hates bribery and bullying common people.So if he ascends to the throne in the future, at least he will be practical.

Chu Xi's ears are soft and he has a typical prince's disease, Yun Xi really doesn't like him.

After ordering Lai San to do things, she stood still and obediently waited for the day when Yun Yao got married.
