Raising husband in Zhai Douwen
Chapter 46 The Dowry
After Yang Jiming explained the situation to Zhang Yong, Zhang Yong took a group of yamen servants and chased him out of the city overnight.
However, when they found the inn where the two stayed, Tinpi and the girl had disappeared.
After Zhang Yong led the team back to the city, he went directly to Wu Muhou's mansion and informed Yang Jiming of the tracking results.
Yang Jiming said in surprise, "I didn't hear that my fourth uncle has already found that boy. Brother Yong, please sit down for a while, and I'll ask someone to inquire about it."
After speaking, Yang Jiming asked Fuquan to inquire again.When Fuquan came back, he reported that the people he had sent out had returned, but they did not find the iron sheet.
Zhang Yong frowned, his face was scorched. "I came here on purpose first, and let the brothers wait outside, just wanting to escort him back to the yamen for a while."
Yang Jiming also frowned, "Who else would be interested in those two?"
"I can't figure it out either. The innkeeper said they paid a deposit but didn't check out." Zhang Yong scratched his head, "We'll find another way, I'll go back and report to your lord first."
After sending Zhang Yong away, Yang Jiming tiptoed back to the house in the dark.
Suddenly, the fire came on and Shang Jiayan lit the candle.
Yang Jiming was startled suddenly, "Jing Shuo, why are you up?"
"In the middle of the night, Catcher Zhang came to find you on purpose. How can I sleep?"
Yang Jiming urged him to go back to bed, "Lie back in bed first, and I'll tell you slowly."
After Shang Jiayan lay back under the blanket, he shrank a bit from the cold, and then his body warmed up quickly.
Yang Jiming blew out the candle that Shang Jiayan had just lit, took off his coat and jacket in the dark, and lay back under the covers.
Shang Jiayan got into his arms, and while warming him, said duplicity: "Look at you, go out for a while, your body is so cold."
"Stay away from me first, don't freeze you." Yang Jiming pushed him away a little, but as soon as he pushed away, Shang Jiayan posted him again.
It didn't take long for both of their bodies to warm up.
Shang Jiayan asked: "Catcher Zhang came to you because of the iron sheet, did you find him?"
"Run away again."
"Why did you run away again? This is not right."
"Brother Yong thought it was someone from our mansion who found it first, and wanted to bring him back to the Yamen from the mansion."
Shang Jiayan thought about it carefully, and knew that the only ones who would chase outside the west city gate were Shuntian Mansion and Wu Muhou Mansion.
Yang Jiming smoothed his hair, "Stop thinking about it, go to sleep." "Yes." Shang Jiayan buried his head in his arms and rubbed.
Soon, Yang Jiming fell asleep.
Listening to his long breathing, Shang Jiayan first slightly hooked the corner of his mouth, and then pouted in distress.
Da Furen's words today baffled him.
The sentence she said to Yang Jiming, don't force yourself, seems to be distressing for the child.But, what about her two biological sons, did she tell them not to study hard?
The first young master is both civil and military, the second young master is already a juren, but his husband Yang Jiming was an ignorant dude before he reformed himself.
Shang Jiayan didn't dare to think about it further, he suspected that the eldest lady deliberately raised and abandoned Yang Jiming.
In addition, what was the biological mother doing when the aunt was suspected of raising a concubine?
If the fourth wife's suspicion of Yang Jiming is not completely unreasonable, then Aunt Du, who is Yang Jiming's biological mother, also has motives.
Shang Jiayan hugged Yang Jiming sullenly, and fell asleep at some point.
On the other side, on a mountain villa more than a hundred miles west of the capital, Tie Pi and the slightly fat girl were blindfolded and led into the woodshed.
The man in gray clothes covered his face and said to them: "People from Shuntian Mansion and Wu Muhou Mansion are looking for you now, no matter who finds you, you will not be able to please them."
"Please let us go, sir." Tie Pi begged for mercy repeatedly, "I did as you said, and persuaded the young master to drink with that man, and after getting drunk, move him to the side of the road to let him suffer from the cold."
"Let's not talk about this first, tell me who this girl is, why are you running away?"
Tinhide and the girl hesitated and said nothing.
The man in gray said, "As long as you tell the truth about everything you know, maybe we can help you. But if you don't tell me, life or death will be unpredictable."
The girl tugged on Tin Sheet's arm and said in a low voice, "Speak."
Ironhide hesitated.
The girl said: "The two of us are fellow villagers. Tie Pi happened to meet the day he returned to Beijing, and he helped me. We plan to go back to our hometown together."
The man in gray chuckled, "Continue talking. If you don't want to suffer, you'd better tell me what I want to know."
The girl panicked, "What else can I say?"
Tin Hide held the girl's hand and said to the man in gray, "After I tell you, will you really let us go?"
"Yes, and I will give you a large sum of money as money."
Tie Pi gritted his teeth, as if he had a great struggle in his heart, and then said: "Her name is Xiaoqin, and she is a servant in charge of purchasing in Wu Yibo Mansion. After you find me, I will discuss with Xiaoqin and leave the capital. "
"How did that person die?"
"I didn't go to Xiaoqin until it was almost dawn that day. At that time, that person was just as drunk as the young master. I really don't know how he died later."
The eyes of the man in gray got darker, and he asked Xiaoqin: "Does anyone in Wu Yibo House know about you and Tie Pi?"
Xiaoqin shook her head vigorously, "No one knows, how can I tell others about this kind of thing?"
The man in gray was silent for a while, then said, "Okay, I trust you, and I won't make things difficult for you."
"Thank you, sir." Tie Pi and Xiaoqin kowtowed their thanks.
After sending the pair of little mandarin ducks away, the man in gray took off his disguise, quickly returned to Wu Muhou's mansion, and told Bai Ping about the matter.
Two days later, someone turned himself in at Shuntian Mansion, admitting that he took the opportunity to kill Yuan Sen.
Xu Yihuan ordered Zhang Yong to investigate the matter, but no loopholes were found.In the end, even though Xu Yihuan suspected that Yang Zhengpeng had found someone to take the blame, he had no choice but to release Yang Chen.
After Yang Chen returned to the mansion, the old matriarch went to Xiyuan to visit in person, and other people also went over one after another to show their concern.
Yang Chen was lying on the bed, and the doctor prescribed a prescription.
The old lady and the fourth lady wiped their tears distressedly, and the others followed suit.
Shang Jiayan pulled Yang Jiming to stand beside Yang Zhongming and Peng Kejing, and he couldn't help worrying that the old lady and Sifang would embarrass their husband and wife.
Peng Kejing whispered to Shang Jiayan: "Yang Chen was released, which also shows that the fourth brother wronged the third brother before."
"I'm afraid I can't be kind."
"Anyway, I'm on your side."
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
Yang Jiming took Shang Jiayan's hand and squeezed his palm, "Don't worry."
"En." Shang Jiayan moved closer to him, and the two of them were almost stuck together.
The second lady came late and went straight to the inner room.
She glanced at Yang Chen, said with a smile: "Young master Six will be fine when he comes back, he will be refreshed after a few days of raising him."
The fourth wife said: "Borrow the auspicious words from the second sister-in-law."
The second lady came late, and the eldest lady came even later.
"What auspicious words did the second brother and sister say, let me listen to them too."
"I said, the sixth young master will be fine after raising him for a few days."
The eldest lady walked up to the couch and looked at Yang Chen, "Look at our Sixth Young Master, his face is so pale, it really hurts my heart. I heard that someone surrendered himself to the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion, and the Yamen released the Sixth Young Master."
The second wife said: "Yes, some people said that it was Ji Ming who framed the sixth young master." They were all nephews, and this title was enough to tell the difference between closeness and closeness.
The expression on the fourth lady's face was a little stiff.
The old matriarch said with a sullen face: "Let's all go out, let Chen'er have a good rest."
After they all arrived in the main room, the second lady said, "Ji Ming, come here."
Yang Jiming was slightly stunned, and walked over.
The second lady looked at the eldest lady, with a sneering smile on her lips, and said, "Sister-in-law, Ji Ming is a concubine, and now it depends on what your aunt will do."
The eldest lady glanced at the second lady coldly, and then said to the fourth lady: "Fourth brother and sister, there have been rumors in the house these days that Ji Ming framed Chen'er. Now that Chen'er has returned, the truth is revealed, what does the fourth brother and sister say? "
The fourth lady had a dark face and did not answer this question.
Yang Jiming said with a smile: "Mother, Second Aunt, these are trivial matters, don't worry about them."
The old matriarch said: "Okay, let's go back separately, and I will go back to Fuxitang too. Fourth daughter-in-law, take good care of Chen'er."
"Yes." The Fourth Madam sent them away.
Yang Jiming and Shang Jiayan didn't dare to stay any longer, they quickly left the place of right and wrong and returned to their nest.
After drinking a cup of tea, Yang Jiming said helplessly: "These women in the mansion are not easy, and I don't know what they want to do today."
"Since we know they are in trouble, let's stay away." Shang Jiayan filled the teapot for him, "However, you have been wronged by this incident."
Yang Jiming said indifferently: "It doesn't matter, I don't care about it."
Shang Jiayan nodded, "The exam is coming soon, the most important thing right now is to prepare for the exam." For other things, he came to share his worries.
This incident made him realize one thing.In this mansion, he and Yang Jiming can only rely on each other.
"I know, I'm going to study now." Yang Jiming took another sip of tea quickly, and then went into the small study to read.
Shang Jiayan called Huai An into the small warehouse and asked him to help count the dowry together.
Huai An hurried to help, and said happily, "Young Madam, you should have counted it long ago."
While counting the calligraphy and paintings, Shang Jiayan said: "There is a special silver in the mansion, and there is a special silver for food and clothing. I also have silver in my hand, so I never thought about counting these things."
"Young Madam, your dowry is full of 120 liters. Besides these things in the warehouse, there are also farms and shops."
"First take an inventory of everything in the warehouse, and then accompany me to look at the shop."
"Yes." Huai'an happily replied, "Young Madam's life will only get better and better in the future." He always thought that Shang Jiayan was unwilling to marry as a wife, so he deliberately ignored the dowry.
Shang Jiayan knew what Huai An was thinking, so he smiled and didn't explain anymore.
Huai An counted the jewelry, and suddenly said: "A few years ago, Shuntian Mansion set up many counterfeit dens in one fell swoop, and found a bunch of counterfeit products. I heard that many people have asked experts to appraise their treasures. Young Madam, we want Don't you want to ask someone to check it?"
"Most of these things were prepared by my mother, and the rest were made up by relatives and family friends. If it is found to be fake, it will only make people say that my dowry is fake, and it will do me no good."
For example, the picture of Xiangyuan Yiqing in his hand was a gift from the son of Duke Maoguo and his wife.From the first time he saw it, he felt that it didn't look like the real one. Could it be that he was told that Mao Guogong and his wife used a fake painting to add makeup to him?
While talking, Shang Jiayan had already counted all the calligraphy and paintings.
Huai'an nodded solemnly, "I was worrying too much, the young lady's dowry will not be false."
Shang Jiayan chuckled, looked at the things in the warehouse, gradually put away his smile, and narrowed his eyes slightly.These things may be the basis for him and Yang Jiming to settle down in the future.
However, when they found the inn where the two stayed, Tinpi and the girl had disappeared.
After Zhang Yong led the team back to the city, he went directly to Wu Muhou's mansion and informed Yang Jiming of the tracking results.
