Chapter 167: Cheng Family Washes Three

Seeing the mule cart go away, Chang Jian walked to Xu Lang and bowed and said, "Master, Yu Qi just came to report that he caught a few people with scattered eyes in Biliu Lane and asked if someone asked them to wait there for work."

Xu Lang remembered the incident of Chen Dannian coaxing Chen Danxia before, and said, "Let's go and examine it."

Those people were just gangsters, not harshly speaking, unable to withstand torture, and honestly confessed. At first, someone asked them to wait in the alley to scare a little girl, and then changed it to ask them to kidnap the little girl and close it for a night before releasing it. The man also promised that as long as they did this, they would give them another hundred taels of silver and a gold ingot.

Xu Lang was furious when he heard this. This method was too vicious and even more than directly harming human life. "You haven't done this. The employer may find you tomorrow. As long as you cooperate with us to catch people, I will spare you."

The gangsters quickly stated that they were willing to cooperate.

Xu Lang reminded them a few words and let them go, and asked Chang Jian to send someone to keep an eye on them, "Be sure to find out this poisonous snake, no matter who it is, chop off her head for me."

"Yes." Chang Chen responded.

"If no one comes to find them tomorrow, take them to the next door of the second house of the Xiangqing Hou Mansion, and you will gain something." Xu Lang said with a hint.

Chang Yan's eyebrows moved slightly, and it seemed that the master knew who was the mastermind behind the scenes.

The next day, Zhao Huizhi's wet nurse and Zhao Lianzhi's personal maid had no idea that the gangster was arrested, and they didn't know that the matter had been exposed, so they fell into the trap. These two were tighter than those gangsters. It was not until Yu Qi threatened their relatives that they told him together that Zhao Huizhi only wanted to scare Chen Danxia, ​​while Zhao Lianzhi wanted to destroy Chen Danxia.

"The needle behind the wasp tail is the most toxic to the woman's heart." Chang Mo sighed.

Chang Jian asked with some concern: "Master, do you really want to chop off their heads?" After all, Zhao Huizhi and Zhao Lianzhi are girls from the Xiangqing Marquis' Mansion and are the nieces of Zhao Hou's family. If they touch them, they will offend Zhao Hou and Xiangqing Marquis.

"It's too cheap to chop off their heads." Xu Lang changed his mind, "Zhao Huizhi likes to scare people, so let people scare her; just kidnap Zhao Lianzhi and keep him overnight."

Chang Jian frowned. Is it appropriate to offend the Zhao family like this?

Xu Lang narrowed his eyes and asked in a deep voice: "Chang Yan, are you questioning my decision?"

"I dare not." Chang Yan knelt on one knee, "I know my mistake."

"Only this time." Xu Lang glanced at him and walked past him. Chang Mo also followed Xu Lang.

Chang Yan stood up and immediately did things according to Xu Lang's wishes, but Chen Danxia didn't know all this. Chen Danxia was busy helping Tao check the things in the warehouse. This warehouse was not the three-bedroom warehouse in the Shen family's mansion, but the warehouse in a large mansion that Tao had privately purchased.

Chen Danxia picked out a box of rubies, a pair of lotus patterns, a hollow carved jade insert screen, a child's jade pillow, a square mirror of four bird patterns and a pair of plum pattern ear cups. "Mom, come and see, are the ones I selected?"

Tao walked over and looked at it, and smiled and said, "Yes, that's great. Jiuer is not reluctant to let go of so many good things?"

"There is nothing to be reluctant to let go. These things are sent to the Yuan family as betrothal gifts. The Yuan family will not detain them. They will definitely be returned as dowry. At that time, these things will be my nephew and nieces. As an aunt, I will not care about my nephews and nieces." Chen Danxia said generously.

Tao laughed in silence, and asked the servant to pack the things and send them to Renyi Bo's mansion. Jin took the things to the Yuan family, and did not pass by the Shen family, so as not to avoid the greed of Chen's mother and others and making trouble. Shen Baikuan's marriage was settled, and Shen Baimi's marriage could also be discussed openly, and Chen Danwei's marriage was finally settled.

The person who mediated Chen Danwei was Zhou's aunt, Tu, who was called Tu's cousin Chen Quan. On the morning of that day, Tu and her husband's sister-in-law came to visit Chen's mother with Chen Quan. Chen Danwei hid behind the screen to look at him. Chen Quan was eighteen years old and wore a gray-blue long gown. He looked Zhou Zheng, gentle and polite, and had a slightly weak temperament. However, he was a scholar and was preparing to compete next year. It was normal to be weak.

Chen Danwei had a good impression of him. When Zhou asked, he said with a flushed face that everything was decided by his parents. There was something that the Shen family didn't know. On the day of the Chinese Valentine's Day, the person who crossed the Magpie Bridge with Tan Shuhui was Chen Quan. And Chen Danxia, ​​who had seen Chen Quan in a hurry, had no impression at all. Naturally, it was impossible to tell the family about this matter. The marriage was settled smoothly.

In the afternoon of the first day of August, Tao Jie was in pain and entered the delivery room. In the evening, she gave birth to a fat boy of six or nine taels. Old Master Cheng named his great-grandson Cheng Ye. A son and a daughter formed a good character. The Cheng family was happy. Jin also breathed a sigh of relief. The youngest daughter had a son and became a living in her in-laws' house.

In the early morning of the next day, Tao Qing gave birth to her third son. This made Yuan Jili very depressed and sighed in front of his colleagues, "I am a bad boy again. I want my daughter, I want a fragrant daughter!"

After hearing this, my colleague was amused and laughed. A colleague who gave him five daughters a big roll of his eyes. He was so full that he didn't know that the hungry man was hungry.

The Cheng family held a three-bathing banquet for Xiao Chengye. Tao took Chen Danxia to the banquet. At the door of the Cheng family, he met Mrs. Yuan and Mrs. Yuan. He congratulated each other and entered the Cheng family's gate. After hearing the notice, Miao came out and saw the mother and daughter, a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and said, "Hey, my eldest daughter-in-law gave birth to a child and went to confinement. No one around me is with me. Seeing you like this, I am so envious."

"What my parents-in-law said, you can take your granddaughter, and say you are envious. We are envious of you, and all the grandchildren are all." Mrs. Yuan smiled. The three sons gave birth to nine grandchildren for her, but none of them made her feel helpless. Why can't she have a little granddaughter for her to play with if she is not strong?

"The little girl refused to follow me today, and she lay there looking at her brother without blinking." Miao said with a smile.

"Okay, two sisters, don't show off. You have grandchildren. My daughter-in-law has not been married yet." Tao said frowningly.

"It's going to be soon, don't worry, don't worry." Miao comforted her.

"Qingyin is at the end of the year and the hairpin. You can marry someone in the beginning of next spring. Then you can hold two in three years." Mrs. Yuan smiled.

"Accept your noble words." Tao smiled. Chen Danxia raised his eyebrows. Her second sister-in-law's responsibility is a heavy responsibility!

He was talking and laughing all the way, and went inside to see the mother and the baby. Xiao Yanhua, who was lying on the cradle, waved to Chen Danxia, ​​"Auntie, come and see my brother, my brother."

Chen Danxia went to see the little guy as he said. The little guy fell asleep, his eyes were closed, and he looked like he was half asleep and half awake. Tao and his voice was very low because the little guy was asleep. Chen Danxia, ​​an unmarried and unborn girl, was not easy to come over and listen, staring at Xiao Chengye, and it was no point. Thinking of the chess score in Moshu's hand, he decided to go to Cheng Jue.

After Chen Danxia inquired with the maid, he knew that Cheng Jue was at home and went directly to Cheng Jue's yard, "Brother Cheng Er."

"Little Jiumei." Cheng Jue put down the book in his hand and "come in."

Chen Danxia raised his leg and walked over the threshold, walked to Cheng Jue, and handed him the chess score in his hand, "For you."

"Where did "Qingquan Chess Book" come from?" Cheng Jue took it over and asked.

"My second sister-in-law gave it to me." Chen Danxia sat down on the chair next to him, "Brother Cheng, this chess recipe is your birthday gift next year."

"How can I calculate this? No, you have to prepare another birthday gift." Cheng Jue disagreed.

Chen Danxia's eyes fluttered, "Then you give me the chess score back and wait for your birthday, I'll give it to you."

"How can I ask for something I gave me again? I don't want any valuable gifts you give me. You can embroider a purse with your own hands." Cheng Jue's tone was calm, but a faint tension appeared in his eyes.

"You want a purse too." Chen Danxia pouted. She doesn't like to do needlework very much!

also.

Cheng Jue's eyes were slightly dark, and his heart seemed to be pulled hard by something. He had cared for so many years, so he would not let anyone take the lead, right? Cheng Jue frowned and asked, "Who else asked you for a wallet?"

"My second brother." Chen Danxia said angrily. After Shen Bomi knew that the purse that Xu Lang was wearing was made by her, she also asked her to make a unique pattern for him.

Cheng Jue breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, and said, "I have a few months left before my birthday, so you can do his first."

Chen Danxia was obedient and knew that he could not let go. He blinked and asked, "What pattern do you want to embroider?"

"What pattern does Xiaojiu think are suitable for me?" Cheng Jue looked at her with anticipation.

Chen Dan thought for a while and said, "Bai Ze's auspicious cloud map is suitable for you."

Bai Ze is a divine beast with a high status in mythology. It is a symbol of auspiciousness. It can turn misfortune into good fortune, speak human words, understand the feelings of all things, and understand the appearance of all things in the world. It rarely appears, and only when a saint rulees the world, he will come with books.

Cheng Jue's lips raised, smiling gently and satisfied, "Just embroidering the picture of Bai Ze driving auspicious clouds."

"Yes." Chen Dan's chin.

Cheng Jue reminded him worriedly: "Just embroider this picture for me."

"Okay, I'll only give you embroidery." Chen Danxia agreed readily.

The chess record was sent out, but Cheng Jue asked for a wallet. Chen Danxia felt that it was too much of a loss to come here, and was wondering when he would take back the advantage.

At this time, the maid came over and asked Chen Danxia to go in front of him, and the third wash began. In the small west hall of the Cheng family, there were thirteen statues of the gods, such as the birth empress, the son delivery empress, the bean rash, and other thirteen statues of the gods; in the incense burner were placed, millet was inserted into a pair of small red wax for sheep oil, and yellow money, ingots, thousand pieces of money and grain for respecting the gods. The Cheng family also prepared to pick up navel hairpins, basin cloth, gold and silver crocks, flowers, flowers, sticks, and other items.

When the guests arrived, Xiao Chengye was carried out by Miao and handed it to the adoption grandma. The adoption grandma was holding the baby. Miao took a silver spoon and scooped a small spoon of water into the basin, and put two small gold crocks in it. Then the other women also added water and things, Chen Danxia added some red dates and a silver ingot.

Looking at the gold and silver croquettes and small ingots in the basin, the grandmother smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed into a slit, and said good things without any money.

The Cheng family's three-bath banquet ended successfully, and the guests said goodbye and left. The next day, Chen Danxia followed the Tao family to Pingjiang Hou Mansion to attend the Yuan family's three-bath banquet.
