The Legitimate Younger Sister Insists on Marriage Exchange, Sending Me to Become a Marquis Wife – Chapter 482

第482章 他还敢来
“耶律骨扎?”

顾侯爷充满惊讶、愤怒、困惑的声音传了出来。

显见是过于出乎意料。

红叶小声嘀咕,“这耶律骨扎竟还敢来。”

翠茗道:“兴许是来要人的,可见今儿捉的那个人对耶律氏质子很重要。”

她两个在这里小声嘀咕。

屋内顾侯爷也在嘀咕:“他竟然还敢来。”

秦鸢道:“估计是为了耶律贤勇来的。”

这人对耶律骨扎忠心耿耿,又骁勇善战,今日若不是凑巧还真忽悠不过来。

顾宝珠晃了晃脑袋,笑道:“那咱们可要狮子大开口了。”

顾老夫人瞪了她一眼。

“好好吃饭,大人的事,小孩子少掺合。”

虽没惩罚她,但对她的管教更严了。

顾宝珠扁了扁嘴,委屈地塞了一大口菜。

秦鸢笑道:“夫君要是愿意还给他,的确得多多要点儿好处。”

顾侯爷笑道:“如今我占上风,怎么可能会轻易答应他,定要好好摸摸他的底细不可。”

听到此处,顾宝珠认同地看着顾侯爷重重点头。

顾老夫人瞪了她一眼,但没再训她。

秦鸢看在眼里,忍不住勾了勾唇。

顾六爷蹙眉,道:“日后娘和三嫂出去交际应酬,可要小心着些。耶律氏人如今不管不顾扰了我们几次,都没占上便宜,定然不会善罢甘休。”

顾宝珠重重点头,接着又往嘴里塞了一大口饭。

顾侯爷道:“六弟说的是,日后女眷们出行,可要小心些。他一个蛮夷,不讲规矩,也不讲仁义,若是做下什么后悔莫及。”

顾老夫人道:“放心,老娘走过的桥比你们走过的路都多,会小心的。”

顾侯爷这才朝外对顾十六道:“让他先等着。”

顾十六笑道:“好。”

侯爷这是要慢慢用了膳再去见人了。

得了侯爷的意思,顾十六就慢悠悠地往外晃,和之前心急火燎的样子判若两人。

还没走出几步,又被顾侯爷出声喊住。

“十六,待会儿你过来,把在家庙见的都给老夫人和夫人说一说。”

顾十六应了,赶忙加快了步子去拿东西。

屋内。

顾老夫人问:“家庙里又怎么了?”

顾六爷有些迟疑地看了看正在小桌上用膳的几个孩子,道:“母亲,等用完了膳再说罢。”

顾宝珠也难得没有插话。

一桌人迅疾用了饭食,丫鬟婆子们都涌进来伺候。

盥洗了手,漱了口,换上了新茶,移步到了起居室,秦鸢方将在家庙里捡了个骷髅头之事说了。

顾老夫人惊骇莫名:“竟还有这种事?”

“康哥儿,你快给祖母好好说说,”顾六爷赶忙吩咐。

康哥儿便将起初和徐家表哥如何打闹,几人比试谁胆子大,溜到破院子里玩耍,失足掉入枯井中发现骷髅头的事说了一遍。

康哥儿和福哥儿年纪不大,但都在国子监上小学了,因此口齿流利,说得详尽但不零乱。

顾老夫人听得眉心紧蹙,慌道:“这里面难道还藏了什么命案?”

秦鸢正色道:“我也是担心这个,因此让和尚们诵经做法事稳住了他们,又让顾十六问大营调了兵马,让他们等我们走了,再仔细搜罗盘查。别的倒不怕,就怕有人将家庙做了藏污纳垢之地。既玷污了祖宗基业,又暗藏祸事。”

顾老夫人紧攥住秦鸢的手,叹道:“我的儿,好亏有你。族里的家庙都是轮着让族人管辖,族里钱多官大的就多出点钱财。家庙里的香油钱和和尚们的花费每年除了族里公中出的那份,其余都是各房按着旧例供给。侯府是族里声望最高的,因此族里的大小事宜我们也能发话。但老侯爷去了之后,侯府就只出银子,不再管事了。若是有人借着家庙生事,发作出来,谁都逃不了干系。”

算起来,侯府还要背上看管族人不力之罪。

这就可大可小的,看皇上心情了。

为了这个被发配充军的有之,被轻轻揭过不提的也有。

秦鸢笑道:“也是赶巧了,若不是孩子们淘气,这件事也闹不出来。”

顾老夫人道:“也亏得你心思缜密,将人都稳住了,一点儿也没爆出来。若是出了什么事,可就不好了。族里有不少人穷的厉害,将棺椁停放在家庙里,就挨着家庙种地过活。那里是老祖宗买的祭田,田里的供给也用来供奉祖先,轮到哪一房管就由哪一房处理。族人若是种了这地,不需要交租,只按份交纳一些产出。我就是担心,这些人会不会勾结着和尚做出什么伤天害理的事来。”

秦鸢安抚道:“事情如今还没定论,娘不必过于担心。这次趁着盘查,都查个清楚,届时再请族中的长老们一同商议。便是没有什么,防患于未然也是好的。府里多出些银子也算不得什么。”

“好,”顾老夫人满意了。

儿媳妇不过于看重钱财,知道轻重缓急,处事精明,眼光长远,她还有什么不满意的。

不满意的只有眼前这个儿子罢了。

顾老夫人隐晦地瞪了不晓事的老三一眼。

顾侯爷不明所以,慌忙道:“十六,你还发现了什么,快进来说说。”

顾十六已经赶回来守在外面等了一会儿,闻言便应了一声,走了进来。

顾老夫人劈头就问:“十六,家庙里还发现了什么?”

顾十六看了眼小主子们,欲言又止。

顾老夫人便吩咐容嬷嬷带着他们下去。

顾十六这才道:“小的听从夫人吩咐将庙里晚上转悠到禅房附近的几个僧人和火工道人都抓了起来,单独审讯,暂且未发现什么。”

言下之意,这些人嘴巴都很硬。

秦鸢继续等着下文。

顾十六从怀里取出一枚像是卷曲的金叶般的饰物,放在手心,道:“金参将带了人来之后,小的便带人将枯井里的泥土全都起了出来,只发现了些腐败的织物,还有几块断骨。还发现了这个……”

顾老夫人紧盯着顾十六手心里的金饰,身子微微发抖,声音飘忽如同风中的落叶。

“……你……你拿的那是什么,拿近了我瞧瞧。”

顾靖晖也定睛去看,神色逐渐变得凝重起来。
