Regarding the matter of marrying her maid to Sima Ying as a concubine, Yang Xianrong did not hide it at all. Instead, she took people back to the Yang family to make preparations. She also claimed that it was because the emperor and Sima Ying had a good relationship. , couldn't see that Sima Ying was alone, so she authorized the queen to marry her maid as a concubine.
Of course, she did not hide her plan this time. She sat in the main hall of the Yang family and discussed the details with her second brother Yang Xiankang.
The Yang family was also cleaned from top to bottom, and red silk was hung in a conspicuous place on the door lintel. Although it cannot be compared with Yang Xianrong's previous wedding, it still gave this maid a good reputation.
Cuixi and Lanxiang were commanding Yuan Jianshuo's imperial army to move ten empty wooden boxes and place them outside the main hall. They tied flowers with red silk and tied them to the big boxes. They looked very festive.
But the atmosphere in the main hall was not very good. Yang Xianrong kept a dark face. The second brother Yang Xiankang wanted to say something, but didn't know how to say it.
Liu Yao kept standing, with his back to the sheep Xianrong, looking at Huizhu kneeling in front of him and asked: "This matter is indeed very dangerous, but if you can't risk yourself, you can't find the bride in the sedan chair." The cause of death. But there is also one thing. If you make this contribution, you will be blessed in the future. At least there will be fewer obstacles to your marriage to He Jiunian, and the Queen and the King of Chengdu will be your blessings."
"No, we can't let Huizhu take risks." Yang Xianrong's face became even uglier when he heard what Liu Yao said, "Now I don't know where the murderer will attack, or in what way, Huizhu only has brute force, and not Smart, how do you want her to respond?”
"If you don't arrange someone in the sedan, the murderer will definitely find clues. If no one comes to kill, what will you do?" Liu Yao turned around and asked her, "If you marry someone, will you die after entering the door? You still Can he be prepared? At that time, when will he kill people? Are there people following him every day? "
"...Every time something goes wrong in the sedan chair, so..."
"Then are you sure you will be in the sedan chair this time?" Liu Yao was quite reasonable. "Huizhu will get on the sedan chair directly and see what happens. This time, we will all protect her and will not let her go." Anything goes wrong with her.”
"If she doesn't have any problems, how can we catch the murderer?" Yang Xianrong also stood up. Although she was petite compared to Liu Yao, her momentum should not be underestimated.
Even Yang Xiankang felt that his third sister had lost her former tenderness and tenderness in just a few months. Now she was more like a beautiful and majestic newborn hibiscus that stood upright, which made people moved. Don't open your eyes.
"Third sister, Brother Liu, you all have a point, let's analyze it..." Yang Xiangkang began to smooth things over, "Actually, probably, I think..."
"I can tell you clearly now that the culprit must be Huazhi or her mother Yu, that is, the tea-making mother-in-law and Youyou." Yang Xianrong didn't care so much and directly told the identity of the culprit. Zhang Liangzhao, who was waiting, and Yuan Jianshuo, who was standing in the main hall and was thinking about how to stop the fight, were both stunned. Both of them had seen Huazhi and Yu back then.
"Why are they?" Yuan Jianshuo asked, "These two people have left Luoyang City for a long time, and there has been no news for so many years..."
"Won't you come back?" Yang Xianrong glanced at Yuan Jianshuo, "You probably haven't seen the tea-ordering lady at Luofang Teahouse yet. Of course, you might not be able to recognize her if you saw her. After all, she wears heavy makeup. The face is covered with oil paint, and maybe the figure has changed a bit over the years... They open a restaurant opposite Prince Sima Ying's Mansion, so they must be sure that no one will be able to recognize them."
"But...why?" Zhang Liangzhao asked cautiously, "Not only did they break off the engagement, but they also took the gold and left..."
"Because of hate, because of jealousy." Yang Xianrong looked at Liu Yao, "So, they will definitely do it in the bride's sedan chair, because they cannot tolerate anyone marrying Sima Ying, the husband she has chosen."
"...Why is it Granny who orders tea?" Liu Yao was a little confused, "How can I confirm it?"
"Don't ask me like this, it's easy to get confused. Now, let me say it again." Yang Xianrong was a little tired when these people asked questions here and there. He straightened his skirt, sat up straight, and started talking. She thought: "Sima Ying lost five brides, and they all died in the wedding sedan. Although it is said that they died of sudden illness, it would be too weird for five to die of sudden illness. If there is one person who does not want Sima Ying, What about marrying a wife? After thinking about it this way, it is easy to understand why these people died in the sedan chair. If we think about it further, who hates Sima Ying? Destroyed his marriage? Over the years, because he stood up to Despite his title of wife, no noble lady would dare to marry him. So, when the eldest sister told me about Hua Zhi’s engagement with Sima Ying, I immediately thought that it was her problem."
"If Huazhi doesn't want Sima Ying to get married...she doesn't have to accept the annulment..." Yang Xiankang said, "Why do you want to kill someone?"
"Because if you can't get it, you have to destroy it." Yang Xianrong snorted, "If Sima Ying was a heartless person, she could kill Sima Ying directly. But no, it was her own appearance that was ruined. Those who have broken off the engagement cannot swallow this, and naturally they cannot bear to see Sima Ying marry another woman."
"How did you discover the traces of Huazhi? They have disappeared for more than ten years." Yuan Jianshuo couldn't help but speak.
"Because of Qiang Huo." Yang Xianrong took out the prescriptions he had written down from the medicine shop owner. "This medicinal material is very precious. It is produced in Longxi and it takes a lot of effort to transport it. There was a record in the Imperial Medical Garden back then. , when Mrs. Yu left with Huazhi, she took away all the Qianghuo in the imperial doctor's garden. It was because Huazhi needed this medicine. They should have gone all the way to Longxi when they left, in order to eat this, which was more convenient and cheaper. After all, This decoction costs fifty taels, and even if you have a mountain of gold and silver, just one dose a day will ruin your family's fortune."
Liu Yao also nodded at this moment, because he knew the price. "That one again, how can you tell it's Huazhi?"
When Yang Xianrong heard this, he laughed, "Brother Liu, can you decipher the text?"
"What do you mean?" Liu Yao shook his head. He, a foreigner, already knew a lot about Chinese culture, but he was a little unhappy when asked like this. After all, he has been diligently learning all the basic necessities of Chinese culture, and may have read more books than Yang Xianrong.
Seeing that he was unhappy, Yang Xianrong stopped talking in circles. He picked up the brush from the table beside him and wrote the word "branch" one stroke at a time.
