After I bloom, a hundred flowers will kill

Chapter 222: The Moon Is Missing

A big wedding is a very sensational event, especially for the gentry, and the ten-mile red makeup is even more eye-catching. Tao Le's wife is from the Linchuan family, and his father is also a serious Jinshi, but he is not interested in being an official. He took over the academy passed down from his grandfather, and is an extremely prestigious Confucian in Linchuan.

Shen Xihe's status is special, so she can't go outside to watch the ceremony, otherwise, the guests will be restrained, and the wedding will not be lively enough, it's her fault.Tao Cheng and Tao Yuan brothers were more worried about the crowds and Shen Xihe's safety than the excitement of the wedding.

The sound of firecrackers was ringing in the sky, and even in the backyard, one could hear booing and cheering. Infected by this joy, Shen Xihe also showed a soft and elegant smile when he looked at the withered branches.

Hongyu ran to the front to see the end of the whole process, took notes carefully and then came back and told Shen Xihe one by one, rightly it was Shen Xihe who also watched the whole ceremony.

As the dusk fell, Shen Xihe received Xiao Huayong's reply letter again, with only one sentence.

The snow is shining on the plum branches, and the moon is missing when I admire the moon.

There is still a black thread.

Pearl admires the princess very much, and she is not impatient when faced with His Royal Highness showing love every day.I was a little annoyed when I wrote the first letter, but I could take it lightly afterwards, and after reading it, I was sure that there was no missing news about Bu Shizi, so I burned it.

"I'll tell you to go on. I'm leaving the day after tomorrow. I'm going to take a detour from Liyang County." Shen Xihe said to Pearl.

Pearl raised her eyebrows calmly: "No."

Although the princess has no love for His Highness the Crown Prince in his heart, he is actually different from others.Otherwise, with her temperament, she would not disrupt her schedule for anyone, and said a few days ago that she would stay for two more days before leaving, waiting for news from Liyang from Moyu.

It's just that this difference is due to His Highness the Crown Prince's kindness to the princess, or the princess has already expressed his intention to marry the Crown Prince, or something else, Pearl doesn't know.

The next day, when the bride was presenting to her parents-in-law, Shen Xihe went. The bride was a gentle and beautiful woman, she spoke softly, without rushing, and she had an elegant and bookish air, which made people feel good.

"Concubine please..."

"Third sister-in-law is very polite." Shen Xihe personally supported her, "Third cousin and I are just siblings."

Everything about identity is for outsiders to see.

"There are beauties in the north, who are peerless and independent. When I think about it in the past, it is always hard to think of what kind of peerless beauties can afford such praise. Today I met the princess, Fang Jue seniors sincerely do not deceive me." Li Shi softly praised Shen Xihe.

Shen Xihe is not a person who likes to compliment each other, she smiled slightly: "Sister-in-law is ridiculous."

Li's eyes still shone softly like the moonlight, and she took a carved red sandalwood brocade box from the handmaid: "I don't know what the princess likes, I asked Saburo to choose this thing, I hope the princess likes it."

Shen Xihe took it, but did not open it in public: "A gift from brother and sister-in-law must be something desirable."

Mrs. Li still wanted to see her little cousin, and then she and Tao Le went to meet relatives and friends in the clan, she only said to talk to Shen Xihe later, and continued to meet Tao Le.

Shen Xihe opened the box only after returning to the room. It was an extremely beautiful bracelet - Yugou Yunwen Yuan.

The jade is sapphire, brown as a whole, with cloud patterns and fine carvings.

Shen Xihe picked it up, and the coldness of the jade made Shen Xihe think: "Bring my incense set."

Hongyu immediately brought the whole box over. Shen Xihe first soaked it in spiced water for a while, then took it out and wiped it gently with a clean towel. After wiping for a long time, there was some brown dust on the snow-white towel. As for the crumbs, Shen Xihe used the silver leaf clip to put a little bit of them into the bowl next to him. There was water in the bowl, and these things would turn into a wisp of smoke and disperse.

Shen Xihe waited until they were all dissolved in the water before picking them up and smelling them: "Things that have entered the tomb."

The burials of rich families are very particular, and a lot of spices are put in to protect the corpses. These spices are not different from the spices used by living people, but the formula and the spices that have been put into the tomb are different from those used by living people after all.

Hongyu lowered her head and smelled it. The water looked colorless, and she didn't smell anything.

"You go outside and wait. When third cousin and third cousin come back, tell third cousin that I have something to say." Shen Xihe instructed Hongyu.

After the red jade retreated, Shen Xihe looked at the gray sky outside the window in a daze.

"Princess, it seems that this business of digging graves and stealing wealth is not only rampant in Henan Province." Pearl is also a little worried, this matter may be more involved than they thought.

"I was wondering why the third cousin gave me this thing." The tomb robbery case involves a lot of things, perhaps not less than the Rouge case, and Shen Xihe had already prepared for it. What she was thinking about was this jade hook with cloud patterns.

She didn't just arrive yesterday, but she has been here for a few days, enough for Mrs. Li to prepare for the meeting ceremony. Mrs. Li's family is also a big family, Mrs. Li is the daughter of the first wife of the first wife, and the dowry is 86, so the family has nothing to give away ?

Do I have to buy one temporarily?And the origin is unknown, according to the Li family's cautious and safe family style, Li shouldn't give this to her.

"The origin of this jade hook and cloud pattern yuan is not simple." All the reasons can only be found out when Mrs. Li comes.

Shen Xihe had just finished dressing up after taking a nap when Li Shi came with her maid.

"Where did my cousin find this thing? I really like it. I have a little sister in Beijing who wants to buy one as a gift." Shen Xihe handed the opened box to Li Shi.

Hearing Shen Xihe say this, Mrs. Li was also happy: "My elder brother came here to give it to me. I thought it was unique, so I chose it to give it to the Princess, but it is the only one."

"Biao sister-in-law, brother, do you have any other good things?" Shen Xihe said again, "When I came to Sichuan, I promised to bring the earthen instrument back to give to my friends."

"If the princess doesn't give up, I'll call my elder brother to bring good things and let the princess choose them?" Mrs. Li said courteously.

Before she got married, she knew that there was only such a girl in the Tao family. Even if she had a foreign surname, she was still the treasure of the Tao family. As a bride, she naturally wanted to have a good relationship with this cousin.

"Then there's Mrs. Lao Biao." Shen Xihe didn't refuse.

After Mrs. Li gave her orders, they stayed here to chat with Shen Xihe, and Shen Xihe didn't make any trace of what she said.

The more I listened, the more I felt something was wrong. I thought that Li Shi's elder brother just found this thing outside, but after listening to Li Shi's words, she, an elder brother who can't read books and only loves to make money, is more like an accomplice who digs graves to make money. But Li Shi and Li Shi's parents were completely unaware.

Pearl's complexion also changed slightly when she heard this. It is difficult for the princess to intervene in this matter, otherwise, if she is careless, she will drive apart the relationship between the bride and her cousin.

"The county master..."

Shen Xihe glanced at her lightly, and said to Li Shi with his usual expression: "It's a pity that my cousin is a businessman."
