Chapter 486: Stealing
Yigan Lehu put on the newly made clothes, looked left and right, with a little excitement, although the material of these clothes is the coarsest linen, and the handiwork is not good, but it is a new clothes, and people like them may not be able to make a new dress in a year, and now they are happy to get a new dress for free.
Only Shi Sheng's expression was a little unconscious, he recognized that one of the people who sent the clothes was Du Datong, who was with Hou Mubai that day, worried that he would recognize him and then look for trouble, fortunately, Du Datong just glanced at him and left, without saying anything, as if he didn't recognize him, which made Shi Sheng secretly relieved.
After waiting for a while, there was the sound of firecrackers outside, and Shi Sheng knew that this was the sedan chair of the husband's family to welcome the bride. Sure enough, there was a commotion in the small building, and the lady who was wearing a phoenix crown came down, and Mama Li was beside her, followed by a girl, and the two people in front were obviously dressed better than others, and they should be Miss Hou's wedding girl. Because of the red hijab, no one can see the appearance of this eldest lady, but she feels that her figure is exquisite, and her appearance should be flawless.
As early as when Miss Hou went downstairs, Shi Sheng and those musicians had already played joy according to the previous instructions, and then divided into two clusters to hug the bride to the front hall to say goodbye to her parents, and when she was about to walk out of the corridor, a little girl accidentally bumped into Shi Sheng, and the brocade box she held in her hand accidentally fell to the ground, falling out of a pair of ears and concentric white jade lotus flowers.
The little girl stood there rubbing her shoulders vigorously, complaining, "How did you walk?" Such a big place can also hit people, and you can't be blind. ”
Obviously she bumped into someone, but she complained there, Shi Sheng was in a hurry to catch up with the person who left in front, and he didn't have time to reason with her, so he hurriedly put the pair of jade pendants into a brocade box and handed it back to her.
The bride continues to sit on the sedan chair on the back of the bride after bidding farewell to her parents, and before arriving at her husband's house, the bride's feet do not fall to the ground, even when she said goodbye to her parents before, the red carpet was laid out underneath.
After the bride got on the sedan chair, the dowry and others followed behind, as for Shi Sheng and others, they also followed, they had to play all the way until the bride arrived at her husband's house, the errand was not finished, and they could come back to receive the silver.
Miss Hou's husband's family is the largest family in the neighboring town, and it took half a day to walk from Qingjiang Town, and there was already a big flowing water banquet there, but Shi Sheng and other Jian people were not allowed to serve on the table, and they were sent back after only giving a bowl of wine.
When they returned to the palace, it was already time to enter the house, although they had worked hard all day, but everyone was very happy in their hearts, two coins of silver, enough for them to use for a long time, and they could even have spare money to buy some meat to taste.
When he got inside, he stepped forward one by one to receive the silver, Shi Sheng followed behind Uncle Zheng, and then when the little guy who issued the silver heard his name, his face changed suddenly, and he waved at the little guy in Tsing Yi behind him and said, "Come on, take down this bold thief!"
Those little guys seemed to have been prepared, and as soon as they heard this, they immediately took the rope and stepped forward, tying him firmly before Shi Sheng came back to his senses.
"What are you doing with me for no reason?" Shi Sheng asked in a panic.
"Gratuitous?" In response to his words, it was Du Datong who came out of the shadows, only to see him walk in front of Shi Sheng, wave his hand and slap him, and said viciously: "Okay, you Jianmin, last time you were disrespectful to our son on the street, Gongzi Nian has let you go once because you are ignorant, and now you dare to come to our Houfu to steal things, really when our Houfu is easy to bully?" ”
"I didn't!" Shi Sheng endured the pain in his right cheek and said, "I didn't steal anything. ”
"At this time, I am still arguing here, and I really don't shed tears when I don't see the coffin!" Du Datong glanced at him viciously and said, "Bring Xiaoxiang up." ”
After a while, a girl with clear eyebrows was brought up, it was the little girl who bumped into Shi Sheng when the eldest lady got married, and as soon as she saw Shi Sheng, she pointed at him excitedly and said: "It's him, Brother Du, it's him who stole the pair of double-eared concentric white jade lotus pendants that Gongzi gave to the eldest lady!"
"I didn't ......" Shi Sheng just said two words, and the other cheek hit him again, Du Datong stared at his pair of triangular eyes and said coldly: "I didn't ask you!"
Xiao Xiang said at Du Datong's suggestion: "When the eldest lady got married during the day, I was ordered by the son to take his pair of ears and concentric white jade lotus flowers to the eldest lady. The jade pendant was asked by the son to ask for it, and it was still precious, until today, the person who the son only lobbied was willing to sell, and as soon as the son got it, I asked the eldest lady to send it. At that time, I was meeting a sedan chair to pick up the eldest lady, there were a lot of people downstairs, I was accidentally hit, and the pair of jade pendants fell out. I was hit in a lot of pain, and by the time I came to my senses, the man had already put the jade pendant back in the brocade box and handed it back to me. After he left, when I wanted to open it and confirm it again, I found that there was no trace of the jade pendant in the brocade box. ”
After listening to her, Du Datong said again: "Xiaoxiang, you said that the person who hit you was wearing Lehu's clothes, so do you recognize clearly, is this person who is tied up now?" ”
Xiao Xiang said with great certainty: "It was he who hit me, and I recognize him when he burned to ashes!"
Shi Sheng shook his head again and again, and said in a panic: "I didn't, I saw a pair of jade pendants, but I put them in a brocade box for you at that time, and you also saw it, how could you steal it." Also, it was you who hit me at that time. ”
"You Jianmin, you are still lying there when you are dying!" Xiao Xiang pointed at Shi Sheng in defeat, and then said to Du Datong: "Brother Du, this Jian Min is very cunning, you quickly search him to see if the jade pendant is still on him." ”
"I haven't taken anything from your Houfu, don't wronged good people!" was treated as a thief for no reason, Shi Sheng was angry and angry, but his joy and anger were not regarded as the same thing at all in the waiting house.
Du Datong searched Shi Sheng up and down through the rope, and found no trace of the jade pendant, but found a flower shaped like a butterfly, Du Datong sneered: "Didn't you just say that you didn't take anything from Houfu?" So where did this flower come from, don't tell me that it was stepped on casually outside, this kind of flower is called jade butterfly, and only Houfu has it in the entire Qingjiang Town. ”
Shi Sheng was silent for a while and bowed his head and said, "I...... I've only picked this flower, and nothing else. ”
"Hmph, do you think I'm going to take your word for it?" Du Datong pulled Shi Sheng's shirt and said coldly: "Give you the last chance to hand over the jade pendant, otherwise don't blame me for being polite, killing a person like you is the same as killing a dog, or even worse than a dog, because you don't even have to pay for the silver." ”
