Chapter 4: Soul Tremors
Everything was settled, and it was already time for the unitary, Jiang Li and Heru knelt in the mourning hall to listen to Master Wuchen's chanting. Jiang Li opened the obituary, and there were Jiang's father's eight characters on it.
"Heru, what year is this year?"
"Miss, it's the twenty-ninth year of Tai'an."
"What year is it on the calendar?"
"This year is the Year of Gengzi."
"Gengzi Year ......" Jiang Li looked at the eight characters in a daze, why was she so persistent about the eight characters, but her mind was blank, why! She obviously thought that she should be able to think of something when she looked at the eight characters, closed her eyes, and thought hard, and a fine sweat broke out on her forehead.
Suddenly, I felt a tremor in my soul, and my hairs suddenly stood on end, and cold sweat wet my back. Jiang Li let out a long breath, dangerous! She had just sensed the danger of her soul leaving her body. Why, thinking about the eight characters of the thing is like this?
Just as Jiang Li frowned slightly and pondered, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl stepped in from outside the hall, walked towards Jiang Li, and said, "Miss Jiang, please make it convenient, can you give your house to my young lady?" ”
Jiang Li looked up at her: "Are you?" ”
"The maidservant of Miss Qianjin Bai, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion." The tone is arrogant and contemptuous.
Jiang Li got up and said in a low voice: "Master Wuchen is chanting for his father, come out and say something." After the words fell, he raised his legs and walked out of the hall, and Heru also quickly got up to follow.
Bai Yiyi's maidservant girl came out after her: "Then thank you girl, I'll send someone to clean up the room." ”
"My young lady didn't say to give it to you!" He Ru hurriedly said: "There are so many rooms in Daye Temple, why are you looking for my young lady!" ”
The maidservant chuckled: "You don't know this? Tomorrow is the day of the annual discussion of the master of the burning of the scriptures, my young lady comes every year, today is just because she is late for a trip with General Wei, and the original room was occupied by your house early, so naturally you want to take it back. ”
"Miss, don't believe her, Daye Temple has never booked a room. It's not an inn, they are clearly bullying. He Ru stood in front of Jiang Li as he spoke, glaring at the maid.
The maid looked disdainful: "Heh, it's just a lost dog and still so arrogant." Talking to you is just to give you face, and it is serious. ”
"Oriole, don't be rude!"
A light and crisp female voice came, and with the voice, the woman in the moon white cloak walked through the verandah, it was Bai Yiyi, and it was Wei Qikang who followed behind.
Bai Yiyi nodded at Jiang Li as a greeting: "Miss Jiang, please make it convenient." ”
Jiang Li looked at Wei Chukang, lowered his eyes, and nodded: "Okay." ”
Heru was not angry, and begged Wei Chu in a little panic: "Uncle, after all, my young lady is the wife assigned to you by the emperor, she was already injured, and today is the seventh time that the old man wants to keep the spirit, if there is no room and no place to live, you can help talk." ”
"Miss Heru said carefully, I am not your aunt, your young lady did not visit the church with me, it is not considered to have passed the door, it is just a marriage contract."
As he spoke, Wei Qikang looked at Bai Yiyi, only to see that she was also looking at herself, her chin slightly raised, and her eyes were a little scrutinized.
took out the marriage book from his sleeve: "Now return this to Miss Jiang." ”
"You! Today is the first seven years of the old man! You're actually coming to get out of the marriage! You let the young lady ......"
Jiang Li looked at the marriage book, retracted his hands into his sleeves, shook his head, and took two steps back.
She can't get out of the marriage, she's lost her father, she can't live without a home.
The maidservant next to her laughed: "You are the daughter of a criminal minister, and you still want to rely on General Wei, how can you afford to climb high!" "The handmaid's sleeves cover the most, lightly.
Jiang Li glanced at her and whispered: "This is a marriage given by the emperor, and I can't do it." If General Wei wants to withdraw from the marriage, please return it to the emperor. ”
"You! You take less royal ......! Cuiying was just about to fight back, but was restrained by Bai Yiyi's look.
Bai Yiyi patted the back of the handmaid's hand: "Miss Jiang should speak carefully, this time General Wei will give you a step down." If it goes to the emperor, maybe it is not as simple as retiring from the marriage, but the granddaughter of the former military department Shangshu was punished to the teaching department. ”
Jiang Li looked at her and nodded: "Thank you Miss Bai for mentioning it, but this is a matter between me and General Wei, and I will naturally discuss it with General Wei when I think about it." ”
He bowed slightly to Wei and said: "My father is newly mourned, and there are many affairs, and I hope that General Wei will be graced for a few days." ”
Wei Chukang nodded: "Then three days later, wait for your reply." ”
He said softly to Bai Yiyi: "I'll send someone to help you clean up the room first." ”
Jiang Li saluted, turned around and entered the mourning hall.
A little monk said softly: "There is also a firewood room in the back mountain, if Miss Jiang doesn't dislike it, you can live there tonight." ”
Jiang Li nodded: "That's it, thank you." Holding Heru's hand: "Let's make do with it first, it's just one night." ”
Heru had tears in her eyes: "Slaves and maids listen to Miss." ”
