Dongli drinks wine after dusk

Chapter 186

At this time, it was going to be dark, and Zhang's mother was busy in the kitchen, making delicious food on the table, and Ning's was sending someone to tell the children to come over for dinner.

Today is considered a good day, someone from the Shen family came to ask for an appointment, and the eldest daughter of the big house, Jiang Jiuli, is about to do something good.

Calculating the ages of these children, Mrs. Cui's three sons were born close together, with an interval of only one or two years, which directly led to the relatively concentrated age of the children of the third generation of Jiang's family, especially the first few children.

In three years, the Jiang family's wedding affairs will hardly stop, and they will arrange a few times every year, which is very lively. After all, the Jiang family has many boys, and more people are imported, and there are relatively few girls who want to marry out of the family.

Jiang Jiuli was the first of his grandchildren to get married, and he married a well-matched family. According to his sister-in-law, the dowry has already been prepared, and it is absolutely full.

A woman's dowry is the confidence to live in her in-law's house in the future, and Ning's mind also began to calculate that Jiuying's dowry was saved since she had a daughter. Up to now, except for large pieces of furniture, the rest is complete.

Now that I am starting to make furniture, it will take a year or two to get it done. I can brush it with tung oil five times and let it dry. Well, I will marry my daughter in three years, and the age is just right.

The mother-in-law had already spoken when Jiuying was engaged. The public house had some good wood in the warehouse, and every girl was counted as one. There was no discrimination in this matter. As long as they were old, they picked wood to make furniture.

Ning has seen it in advance, it is indeed a rare good material, better than what she found in Anqing, so let's use the public one.Wait for her to shop for good things in the capital, and buy another one or two for her daughter.

Since you want to marry into Dingguo Duke's mansion, the dowry must be higher than that of the eldest daughter of the eldest son. After all, Dingguo Duke's mansion is famous for its wealth, and there is a sister-in-law who is the wife of the prince in front of her. Bo can make Jiuying unable to lift his head.

For the sake of fairness, Mrs. Cui will not be too partial to the rules of marrying girls in the public, and Mrs. Ning did not point out that the public can do anything more. She is rich in her hand, so she will subsidize it privately, so as to avoid conflicts between sisters-in-law. dirty.

Now the mansion is calm and calm, and there is no conflict over which room takes up more needles and threads. Ning really likes this atmosphere.Fortunately, the mother-in-law has a bright eye and a bright heart, and the daughters-in-law who marry back are all generous. The concubine's daughter-in-law is of ordinary background, a bit petty, but she is also thin-skinned and can't do shameless things.

In this way, a lot of trouble can be saved, and she doesn't have to spend time on the house. She can't ask for it. Money is like dung.

Seven or eight people live together in this square inch of land. To put it bluntly, farts are so loud that you can hear them from the next room. If you look up and look down, if you always see something before eating and feeding An unappetizing face, and listening to some yin and yang words, I am afraid it will affect the longevity.

Fortunately, the Jiang family is full of kind people.

The family had just sat down happily and was about to eat with their chopsticks when they heard a report from outside: "To the third master, the young master of the Duke of Dingguo is asking to see you."

Why is Zhao Dongli here?

The custom of the capital, because it is prosperous enough, the home of Fengzu is used to three meals a day, this is the time for dinner, if there is no urgent matter, most people will not visit other people's homes at this time.

Jiang Wenyuan hastily put down his chopsticks and hurried to greet the person.

outside study.When Zhao Dongli saw Jiang Wenyuan coming alone, he couldn't hide his disappointment.

If he hadn't heard that his fiancée had gone out with his prospective father-in-law to visit the victim's family, why would he rush to Jiang's house and make a special trip to tell Jiang Wenyuan what he heard.

He originally had the idea that maybe Jiang Jiuying would participate in the whole process and come together to hear the news.

It was because he was thinking too much. Unmarried couples can't easily see each other. Naturally, Jiang Wenyuan would not bring his daughter here.

Come on, it's a waste of time to run. I haven't touched my teeth this day, and I'm tired and hungry. What a miserable word.

"Gulu." The stomach protested a little loudly, before Zhao Dongli had time to speak, it made a fuss first.

Jiang Wenyuan then asked the small kitchen to bring up a table of meals, and the two chatted while eating.

Talking about business, Zhao Dongli put away the grievances in his heart: "My son-in-law first went to the two most famous Buddhist temples in the city today. None of the eminent monks have heard of the evil method that requires blood born on the same day in the same month of the same year."

The Daxiangguo Temple in Xicheng has a large number of believers, and there are not many people from the royal family and relatives who worship the Buddha. The monks in the temple can say that they are well-informed. Even they have never heard of it. Most likely it is not a Buddhist method.

"After leaving the city, my son-in-law stopped looking for temples to visit, but focused on Taoist temples."

As we all know, Taoism pays attention to self-cultivation. There are many sects and different exercises. Every person who has attained the Tao will have his own different opinions. It is difficult to have a unified so-called correct way of cultivating the Tao.

After investigating one by one, every senior brother said that this case looked like someone using evil methods to cause trouble, but no one could say the specific effect.After visiting six or seven Taoist temples in a row, Zhao Dongli almost circled the capital without gaining anything.

If you want to talk about what it means to have nowhere to find if you have broken through the iron shoes, and you can get it without wasting effort, Zhao Dongli understands today.

Just when he was at a loss and found a simple small tea house to rest, he accidentally overheard the conversation between two men.

Judging by their attire, these two men should be coolie laborers nearby, and it was lunch break time, so they came here to have a meal and chat by the way.

Sun Erlang, who lives in Nancheng, was bragging to his partner: "You don't know, so people can glow so white without blood." That night, the abandoned house chosen by the murderer happened to be near his home.

Because he ate two extra pickles for dinner, he drank an extra scoop of water before going to bed. As expected, he was awakened by urine in the middle of the night and got up to relieve himself.

It just happened to hit the whole process of the whole incident outside.

From the moment he heard the sound of the carriage in a daze, to Prince Ping's men coming to chase the murderer, and then to the dead man sticking out of the carriage, he hid in his own yard and only dared to look out quietly through the crack of the door.

Qian Goudan frowned: "Don't talk nonsense, death is the most important thing." He didn't really want to hear these things, what's there to show off when he sees a dead person?Sun Erlang is really a big mouth, and he is not afraid of seeing ghosts in the middle of the night.

"Hey! I'm not talking about dead people! I didn't expect that some people would go crazy and listen to Old Mazi Dou's words!"

"He said that using human blood to make alchemy can cure all diseases! Especially the blood of virgin boys and girls! Did you know that a pair of virgin boys and girls died that day."

Qian Goudan also became very interested: "Didn't you say that three people died?" For three years, three people died every year, and everyone in the capital knew it as long as they had ears. "

"Don't you have an old eunuch!"
