Crowned with Pearls

   Chapter 650 Forty-nine Scars

The main reason is that Mrs. Tong herself experienced a legend. After saving the queen, she was brought back to the palace to raise her. She was more beautiful than the princess for a time. The shadow of the tree, with that experience, was somewhat feared by others.

   Besides, there is Grandma Xu, who is Xu Cifu's daughter-in-law.

  Everyone knows that Sun Ge-Lao recently went home because he fought with Xu Ci and failed to keep his seat.

  Wu Xiancheng didn't want to be the second elder of the Sun Pavilion, not to mention that he didn't have the ability. After provoking Xu Cifu, he was afraid that he would not be able to go to office safely.

He coughed and gently reminded his overly upright subordinate: "If it's really not a girl from the Qi family, it would be better, just follow the usual murder case investigation. Besides, isn't there a clue? Just Go check Xuanyuan!"

   Although Daoist Xuanyuan is famous, he is just a Daoist, isn't he?

  Comparing the two, Xuanyuan is naturally better to check.

   Zhang Tuiguan didn't understand the meaning of Shangfeng. It was clearly because the Xu family and the Tong family were involved, and they wanted to escape from the battle, and the big things became small things.

   But he didn't want to.

  Wu Xiancheng himself has a sloppy temperament. No matter what, he can get along and it is reasonable to not want to offend people, but he is different.

   He was still young, he passed the jinshi examination and became an official in order to be able to stand in a higher position in the future, and to stand in a higher position, he was bound to make some achievements.

   Now is an opportunity.

   Therefore, although the county magistrate Wu persuaded a lot, Zhang Tuiguan had his own plans.

   After leaving the county office, he went straight to Xu's house.

He is a small pusher, and naturally he is not a character in the Xu family. I heard that he wants to see Grandma Xu. Glancing at him, he said angrily, "Wait! Our grandma is busy now, so I don't have time to see you!"

   Aren't you busy? Xu Huixian made a marriage plan before, but now there is a letter from the family, and the fifth master of the Feng family is already on his way, ready to send the dowry gift.

   This is a major event. Since Qi Yunxi returned to the capital, Qi's family has been living with anxiety. After buying that batch of jewelry a while ago, she has nightmares every day, always thinking back to the past.

The collapse of the Li family was a big mountain on top of her head. Now that she has come to this day, as long as she thinks of her life, she feels that there is still a sharp sword hanging over her head, and it may fall down at any moment, stabbing everything she has now. Fragmented.

  Daughter's marriage was a big happy event for her, which at least softened her recent nervousness and terror.

   Xu Huixian pouted and blinked at her ruby ​​head: "Mother, I don't want to marry so early"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Qi pursed her lips and glanced at her daughter. Although she was complaining, her eyes were smiling. She gently hugged her daughter in her arms, and she touched her daughter's hair and comforted her softly: "Child When you get older, you always have to get married and start a business. The Feng family is very good, you won’t be wronged when you marry, and it’s better than anything else to live happily.”

   The dowry list in her hand is a thick stack, and the items listed in it are dazzling, ranging from the eight immortals crossing the sea to the step-by-step bed, as small as the spittoon, broom and porcelain basin.

   Even the clothes at the bottom of the pressure box must be packed in seven or eight sandalwood boxes.

  Xu Huixian glanced at it and was a little speechless: "Mother, will this be too much?"

Back then, when the cousins ​​got married, it was worth 10,000 taels of silver. In fact, the public gave them about 7,000 to 8,000 taels. Now it's her turn, but the money on the book is worth 30,000 to 40,000 taels. With such an obvious difference, wouldn't there be gossip in the clan?

   Now that she also knows some worldly things, she looks at her mother with some worry.

Mrs Qi couldn't help being laughed at by her: "What a silly child, a girl is married, she is paid by the public, and of course her mother's dowry! My dowry is half your brother and you, and no one can say anything. !"

  Xu Huixian was a little dazed, and vaguely proud: "Mother, speaking of it, are you and your auntie both liked by the previous empress?"

   Otherwise, how could the dowry be so rich?

  Her mother is also famous.

   Mrs Qi's hand paused, a flash of dodging flashed across her face, snatched the dowry list from her daughter's hand, and scolded in a deep voice, "What does this have to do with your child's family?"

"Why is it irrelevant?" Xu Huixian pursed her lips and looked at her mother in confusion: "My aunt saved the Empress! Isn't this something that everyone knows? We should be proud of it, but I also heard that, The great-aunt herself was paid by the king of Zhennan."

   Qi's complexion changed dramatically, he reached out and knocked down his daughter's hand, and said angrily, "It's really going too far! What do you bring up these things?! It's all about Chen Zhi's rotten millet!"

   Xu Huixian couldn't help but be surprised. She looked at her mother, a little stunned: "Mother"

Qi Shi reacted, and suddenly regretted it, and forced a smile: "It's not a good thing. Back then, your aunt and I both fled. Later, although your aunt saved the queen and was taken to the palace to raise her, she didn't. You've always been criticized for being out of the country, what do you do when you mention it?"

  Xu Huixian seemed to understand, but she knew that her mother really didn't like to talk about it, so she snorted: "Then I won't talk about it."

  Mr. Qi hummed, and suddenly he was in a mood to lose, so he simply sent her: "Okay, after talking for a long time, I'm also a little tired, you should go back to rest first, and come back later in the evening."

   After Xu Huixian left, she walked to the dressing table in a daze, staring at the very beautifully made makeup box for a while, opened the drawer, and lowered her eyes as she looked at the drawer full of jewelry.

   Qi family?

   How could she be from the Qi family?

   I said that back then, just so that Emperor Yuanfeng could keep his aunt at Queen Hu's side with more confidence.

   Her aunt gritted her teeth so much that she hated the Qi family.

   After all, if the Qi family hadn't informed Yuanfeng Emperor, her grandfather would not have died under Yuanfeng Emperor's hands on the battlefield, and died so embarrassed.

  Thinking of what happened back then, Mrs Qi closed her eyes, closed the makeup box in a precarious manner and told the woman below: "Go and call the concierge to prepare the car, I'm going to see my aunt."

The people under    hurriedly agreed, seeing that she was in a bad mood, and did not dare to report to the previous concierge, saying that Zhang Tuiguan came and had something to report to her.

   Mr. Qi was very worried and didn't have the heart to worry about the rest.
