Chapter 317: The Ginkgo Tree Disappears
The news that Jiang Sixue was about to enter the palace for the draft spread in the mansion the next day, Jiang Siji pulled Sixue into Yanyue Residence, and then Yang Xiaoer also followed.
Yan Xiaoyue smiled: "Why did you come here?" ”
"Sister-in-law, tell me about the third sister, how can she enter the palace?"
Jiang Sixue said helplessly: "Why can't I enter the palace, Siji, third sister, am I not beautiful?" Still not smart, huh? ”
Jiang Siji pouted, "I won't tell you, anyway, you always have your own reason." ”
Yan Xiaoyue got up, "Okay, since you're all here, let's come into the house and sit down and talk slowly." ”
Yang Xiao'er took the lead in sitting down, "Sister, do you know?" Sixue is going to enter the palace to go to the draft. ”
Yan Xiaoyue nodded, indicating that she knew.
Jiang Siji couldn't help but say, "Don't you object to that sister-in-law?" ”
Yan Xiaoyue asked rhetorically: "Is my objection valid?" I heard your eldest brother say that the list has been handed into the palace by the Ministry of Rites. ”
"What then?"
Yan Xiaoyue walked around the faces of the two sisters, Jiang Sixue and Jiang Siji, one was light and careless, and the other was anxious and worried.
"Si Ji, Si Xue isn't worried about what you're anxious about?"
Jiang Sixue chuckled, "Fourth sister, you are really a typical emperor who is not in a hurry to die in the inner prison." Isn't it just entering the palace, and it's not entering Shangdao Mountain, what's there to worry about? ”
"Third sister, they all say that the palace is a place where people eat people and don't spit out bones, what should you do if you go in?"
Jiang Sixue raised her eyebrows, "How do you know that I will be the one who was eaten." ”
Yan Xiaoyue asked the doubts in her heart, "Xue Niang, did you really ask to enter the palace yourself?" ”
"Sister-in-law, the Jiang family has been passed down to my grandfather's generation for a total of 17 generations, nearly a thousand years, through two dynasties, and the Jiang family has only three daughters sent to the palace, and I will be the fourth imperial concubine, don't you think this is a very honorable thing?"
Yan Xiaoyue only felt that her eyes were full of black lines. "Don't tell me, you entered the palace for the sake of the family tree."
"Is it possible to do it for the sake of people?" Jiang Sixue's eyes slanted slightly, and she looked at Yan Xiaoyue with a smile.
"My sister is not the kind of blind who can't see the situation clearly, so she won't be the moth that puts out the fire, sister-in-law can rest assured."
Yan Xiaoyue was completely speechless now. Can she pretend that she doesn't understand what Jiang Sixue means? This girl is so smart, Yan Xiaoyue really can't think of what else they have to bear.
"Well, since Sixue has figured it out, then we don't have to worry about it. I believe that Sixue will have a good life wherever she is, now let's help Sixue think about how she can be chosen, right? ”
Jiang Sixue's eyes fluttered. Slightly raising her delicate chin, "With Miss Ben's appearance, will she still be screened out?" "He looked as proud as an empress.
This appearance alone drew chuckles from several women.
"It's just that, sister, when you enter the palace, I don't know if we will have a chance to meet again."
"Sister, don't worry, when your sister and I stand firm, I will definitely summon you to the palace to meet you, hehe."
Jiang Siji's sorrow was broken up by Jiang Sixue's gags.
"Since Sixue is going to enter the palace, do you have to prepare more outfits?"
As soon as Yan Xiaoyue finished speaking, the situation when she was shopping a few days ago flashed in her mind. Jiang Sixue doesn't want a red dress. If she doesn't want a phoenix-shaped hairpin, does it mean that she has already made up her mind to enter the palace?
But why? With Jiang Sixue's character, Yan Xiaoyue didn't believe that she would be an emotional person, let alone that she would enter the palace to pray for tranquility, because she was still after choosing clothes and accessories.
Yan Xiaoyue, who couldn't figure it out, could only frown and look at it, and Jiang Sixue's laughter came to her ears, "Don't worry about these things, grandmother and mother will be settled, I heard that I will invite the embroidery girl from the beauty workshop into the house this afternoon." We'll make some clothes together. ”
Yang Xiao'er said with a smile: "The third sister is really a big-hearted master, and she is only a month away from the draft." How can you still bother to make clothes for us? It's better to do a few more things for yourself, entering the palace is not as good as outside, even if you want to do some needlework, it is not easy. This time, let the house make you a few more. ”
"What are you doing so much? Maybe the summer clothes made today will be in the summer by the time the summer is over? It's better to bring more good materials into the palace. ”
Yan Xiaoyue nodded, "This is true. But you can't do nothing, you can't do less. I've got some stuff to send to you when the time comes. ”
Jiang Sixue immediately shook her head and said, "Don't, sister-in-law, I entered the palace to fight for the glory of the Jiang Mansion, how can I let my sister-in-law break the bank." If the sister-in-law really feels sorry for her sister. It's good to go into the palace more often to see my sister in the future. ”
That being said, after the three of them left, Yan Xiaoyue still opened the warehouse, picked out some materials with outstanding colors, and asked Bi'er to send them to the Xiyu Pavilion. He also picked out two fine gems and prepared to send them to the closed moon to make jewelry.
was busy until Jiang Siyan returned home before he cleaned up, discussed Jiang Sixue's affairs and rested.
Late at night, a special cat meow sounded outside Yanyue's residence, Jiang Siyan opened his eyes violently, turned his head to look out the window, and when the cat's voice sounded again, he softly turned over and got up, put on his robe and walked out.
A dark shadow quickly approached, "Lord, something is wrong with the ginkgo tree." ”
Jiang Siyan was stunned for a moment, and then ran in the direction of the ginkgo tree, faster and faster. Qiu Shi didn't dare to be rash and quickly followed.
After a while, Jiang Siyan rushed to the edge of the ginkgo tree in Jinyuan, and saw that the leaves of the ginkgo biloba under the moonlight withered rapidly, but did not fall, and directly became flying ash, and then the branches, although the speed was slower, but the thick and lush branches were shrinking and disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye, until they were near the trunk, and finally even the trunk slowly turned into flying ash.
At the time of a pillar of incense, Jiang Siyan watched a hundred-year-old ginkgo tree hugged by two people turn into ashes in front of him, leaving only a big black hole.
Jiang Siyan dug for a long time in the remaining tree holes, but there was nothing. A hundred-year-old ginkgo tree was gone, and there was nothing left, except for this big hole, as if the hundred-year-old ginkgo tree had never appeared.
Jiang Siyan dropped the branch used to dig the soil in his hand, got up and ran in the direction of the upper courtyard, and only after crossing the Yingyue Canal did he stand still.
As early as when Yan Xiaoyue transported the ginkgo into the house, Jiang Siyan deliberately removed the tall trees around the two ginkgo trees, and also sent Qiu to keep an eye on the ginkgo from time to time, for more than three years, he didn't dare to slack off for a day, but he was afraid that he would not be aware of it when the facts happened, but he didn't expect that when it really happened, he could only watch it like this, and did nothing. (To be continued.) )
