Young wife Li, she won again

Chapter 141
"Mr. Su was joking, how could there be such a treasure as you in the small place of Xixiang? My bead is much smaller than this one." Master Chen could hear the sarcasm in her words.

He was still thinking just now, whether he should take some money to lure the other party to take out the beads.

Fortunately, it was one step too late, otherwise it would be self-inflicted insult!

Who would have thought that in this humble town, there would be such a heroic figure hidden...

I don't know why, but I carry so many good things with me!

"Master Chen, the carriage is in the yard, or do you think that thing is hidden on my body, and we need to cooperate in the search?" She said with a needle in her cotton.

"Don't dare! Girl, put away your things quickly!" Master Chen urged.

"Hmph!" Dai Rong tied the burden.

"Mr. Su, this is really a misunderstanding, I hope you don't take offense!" Master Chen said.

"Master Chen, can you tell us how you lost that bead?" Su Qingyue asked.

"It's hard to say. In fact, since the beginning of this month, the house has been throwing things away one after another. But most of them are food. I just treat it as a meal from the servants in the house, and I don't take it seriously. Later, seeing that the thief is getting more and more excessive, I will Let the servants guard the yard, and found that every midnight, there will be strange winds, and it was the same last night! All the lights in the house were extinguished, and my daughter suddenly yelled in the room, saying that someone was stealing. We hurried to In the past, when black shadows were found fleeing out of the mansion, the servants chased them all the way, and they arrived near Mr. Su's house... The process was so bizarre, and it wasn't intentional to embarrass Mr. Su."

"The one you lost, are you sure it's just an ordinary night pearl?"

"Hey! That bead is far inferior to Mr. Su's in terms of quality. It was originally called the Pishui bead, which was passed down from the ancestors. It is said that if you hold it in your mouth, even people who don't know how to swim can go into the sea and cross the river." It’s like walking on flat ground. And the instructions from the ancestors must be kept properly and must not be lost, otherwise disasters will happen. The things are handed down from the ancestors. Our husband and wife only got a daughter in their later years, and we plan to give this thing to her as a dowry. Who Knowing that the wedding is imminent, such a thing happened!"

Because of the guilt in his heart, Master Chen confessed the whole story to show his sincerity.

"So that's how it is," Su Qingyue said leisurely.

She stood up, scanned the living room first, and then came to the yard.

Master Chen followed behind, full of doubts, but he didn't dare to disturb him.

"If Master Chen is trustworthy, I might try to help you find your lost property." Su Qingyue said.

"Mr. Su's words are serious?" Master Chen asked in surprise.

"My brother is a powerful Mr. Yin Yang, how can you doubt it casually?" Dai Rong snorted coldly holding something.

"Oh, it's no wonder that you think that Mr. has a strange skeleton and a good momentum, but I didn't expect him to be an expert! If Mr. can help me find that water droplet, I am willing to pay you a lot of money in return, and I will hold a banquet for you to show my gratitude! "Master Chen said excitedly.

"I'm not interested in any of the things you said. After it's done, I only want one thing."

"What do you want sir?"

"Can the embroidered shoes worn by Miss on her wedding day be given to her sister?" Su Qingyue said.

"Ah...here, what do you want that kind of thing for?" Master Chen was taken aback.

In the custom of Xixiang, the shoes worn by the bride on her wedding day are generally called stepping shoes.

It is usually thin bottom, red sash, embroidered with auspicious flowers.

After arriving at the door of the husband's house, the shoes will be replaced and thrown away, which is an allegorical throwing of 'evil'.

If you are reluctant to throw it away, you can keep it, but you must never wear it back to your mother's house, because it will be bad luck if you go back.

Mr. Chen really couldn't figure out what this Mr. Su wanted a pair of happy shoes for.

"Master Chen, don't worry, we will never use it to do anything harmful to nature." Su Qingyue said.

Now, compared to a year ago, she is more chic and comfortable pretending to be a man than she was a year ago.

There is no longer the look of a little girl between the eyebrows, but a rare elegance and heroism instead.

Even an old squire with piercing eyes like Mr. Chen couldn't tell her true gender.

Hearing her promise, coupled with his eagerness to find the evil spirit bead, Master Chen finally agreed after careful consideration.

"If Mr. Su can really find the lost property, I will give the little girl's embroidered shoes to Miss Dai!"

"In that case, we're bothering the mansion."

"Come here, hurry up and clean up Mr. Su's guest room!"

"Thank you."

Dai Rong held back all the way, and followed her back to the room with the burden before he couldn't help asking questions.

"Sister, what do you want Ms. Chen's wedding shoes for? It is said that only my sister-in-law can wear those shoes, and it is unlucky for others to wear them. And you have never met her before, so how do you know whether our two feet are the same size? It fits, how should I wear it?" She was worried.

"It's just for her to give it to you, not for you to wear it." Su Qingyue said.

"If you don't wear shoes, what do you do with them?" Dai Rong became more and more curious.

"You'll know later." Su Qingyue smiled ambiguously.

Dai Rong questioned her several times, but seeing that she refused to speak, he had no choice but to give up.

"Sister, do you know who stole that thing? Mr. Chen said that before the thief came, there was a strange wind. Could it be a ghost?"

"It's hard to say, let's see the result tonight!"

After lunch, Su Qingyue called over the servant who was on vigil last night.

Master Chen had already given his instructions in advance, so the other party's attitude was very respectful and he answered every question.

"Master Chen said that the house started throwing things away at the beginning of last month. What are they? Can you tell me in detail?" Su Qingyue asked.

"Meat! First meatballs, bacon, and meat bones! A large pot of raw dumpling stuffing was stolen, and even the pot was licked clean! Then it was live livestock, not to mention chickens, ducks, and geese... ..." said the butler.

"This thief is really greedy." Dai Rong couldn't help but said.

"Who says it's not, it's amazing! It's no problem to jump over the wall and run like flying! We squatted for several nights, but we didn't even see each other's shadow! It was the same last night, and we managed to catch up to the bridge. , It’s gone again! Our Chen family is not that kind of small family, it’s the first time someone has been thinking about stealing so much, it’s really bullying.” The servant said angrily.

The bridge the housekeeper mentioned was the stone bridge near Su Qingyue and the others' residence.

It is said that it is a building of the Song Dynasty, which has been around for hundreds of years. Several bridge piers have collapsed, and the road surface has collapsed. Walking up is rickety and extremely dangerous.

Dai Rong once went to the other side of the river to collect firewood, but he dared not go a second time even if he was beaten to death.

Su Qingyue pondered for a moment, ordered the kitchen to slaughter pigs and sheep, and stewed two big iron pots full.

In the evening, everyone ate steamed buns with broth, and all the meat was piled in the pot without moving a single piece.

"Sister, why don't you let the king follow? The servants have already said that the thief is sneaking away so fast, maybe the king can catch up!" Dai Rong suggested.

"It's wearing wolf fur, and it smells like a beast. If the other party is alarmed, they won't come in." Su Qingyue said.

After nightfall, Su Qingyue asked the housekeeper to come over with a bucket of red paint, and painted around the kitchen threshold.

The rest of the people stayed in ambush as before, just waiting for the thief to come to the door on his own initiative!
