Chapter 46: Two Funerals (2)
"I can't inquire about this little one, but," Chang Sui whispered in Xie You's ear, "When it was said that when the case was investigated, Lord Gawain couldn't be on the side, only Lord Leng Xin was with the coroners." ”
"Could it be that Gawain killed Madame?" the more Xie You thought about it, the more wrong he felt, "You can continue to check for me, this matter must not be finished by burying Madame." The city lord can't let her mother die so inexplicably!"
The chief went with the order, and the old housekeeper of the White Tiger Hall changed into a plain dress for Xie You, and then took out a list from his sleeve, "Master, it was sent by the Divine Palace." As soon as his hand left the list, he immediately smeared the soles of his feet away from Xie You.
Xie You opened the list and saw that it contained various expenses for renovating the main hall of the Divine Palace, "Obviously, she has to be responsible too! Why does all the money have to come out of my White Tiger Palace!?"
As he spoke, it was a flash of fire that burned the list to ashes.
"Master, the people of the Divine Palace said that when the city lord said this, you didn't object!" The old butler's voice came from afar.
"Fart! Ye is ......" Xie You was just about to refute, but suddenly found that he didn't know when Leng Xin said this, "Anyway, if you want to come out, you have to be half of a person, I'll go back and tell the city lord!"
The next day, Xie You angrily went to find Leng Xin Theory, but as soon as he arrived at the gate of the Divine Palace, he felt that it was a little inappropriate to talk about this matter today.
The original white palace is now decorated with black and yellow garlands, Xie Youguang wanted to explain the issue of compensation to Leng Xin, but he forgot that he was able to leave the White Tiger Hall because Leng Xin's dead mother was going to be buried today.
Leng Xin is still wearing a white long skirt, but it is not a pattern anymore, but the simplest whole body is plain white, and a white velvet flower is pinned to her head, and her black hair is no longer scattered, but tied with a white ribbon behind her head.
"The priest of the White Tiger Hall has arrived!" Gao Wen's voice sounded, Xie You remembered what he was here for, took the incense, and bowed to the tablet in the middle of the mourning hall three times, Gao Wen took the incense and inserted it into the incense burner, "The ceremony is over!"
Leng Xin was a little uncomfortable with Xie You's polite appearance, and he was not used to him wearing mourning clothes with a yellow belt on a black background, "Wait here, the others are here, let's go to the Xuanwu Hall together." ”
"Oh......" Xie You was still a child when his parents died, and he was held by her aunt to attend the funeral, and he felt very bad at the time, so he is so well-behaved now.
Duanmu and Yong, Yi Wurong and others came one after another, all of them were the same process, Yi Wurong also said to Leng Xin, "Mourn." ”
Leng Xin didn't know how to answer him, so he had to talk about an irrelevant topic, "The people from the Elven Forest are here today?"
Yi Wurong said yes, and then retreated to Duanmu and Yong's side.
Shaya also came today, in fact, not only Shaya, except for the Xuanwu Palace, the priests of each hall have brought housekeepers to take care of human relations. Even the priest of the Shrine even knew that he had servants by his side to help.
It's just that the sacrifice has to be completed by the priests themselves, and the main hall of the shrine is still being repaired, so the place of sacrifice has to be moved to a more spacious side hall, and they, the stewards of each hall, have to wait inside the shrine.
Gawain is undoubtedly the busiest person in the Divine Palace today, Leng Xin just stands in front of the spirit of his wife, and he is responsible for coordinating and scheduling the entire sacrifice.
