Chapter 43: True and False

"Whether this proverb exists or not, we have no history to test. Maybe it's just that the Lu Sai Restaurant made it up in order to have a place in the court and survive in Beijing, and it's impossible to say. ”

"Oh my God! You and the prince said exactly the same, do you know that when the prince heard this rumor, he also said what you said. Isn't this the same sentence, the hero sees the same thing! No wonder the prince relies on you so much! ”

"Really?" Mo Shuoyue looked away and looked at the sparkling lake.

The last sentence "No wonder the prince relies on you so much", often people say it, it sounds very familiar, and I don't feel anything in the past, but today I hear it, but my heart is like a lake where the breeze blows, and it fluctuates slightly.

Fortunately, Jiang Yiyi has always been nervous, and he didn't notice her abnormality at all, and continued: "In fact, with Lu Yin's family background, it is not enough to rank fourth in the 'Ideal Husband Four', but he is well-versed in the past and the present, and his export is complete, especially his calligraphy with a face and willow bones, few people in Beijing can surpass him. In addition, he is handsome and has an excellent personality. I've heard that some of the nobles in Beijing still want to marry him. ”

Death and life are inseparable in a lifetime, but I hope that they will be together for a long time.

Hearing this, Mo Shuoyue unconsciously remembered the two lines of words on the piece of mutton fat jade, and said thoughtfully: "Do you still remember that piece of mutton fat jade, with the word Xuan engraved on the front, it should not be Lu Yin's original possession, but more like a gift from others." Before he died, he tore it off and held it tightly in his hands, or to prevent others from taking it away...... The things that he would rather die to protect are extremely important to him. According to you, Lu Yin's every move should be a lot of attention, so have you ever heard of his best friend or lover? ”

"Speaking of this mutton fat jade, I'm angry! The yali didn't have time to check! As soon as the Lu family received the news, they immediately took the body away with the relics, and did not let us continue to pursue it at all. Saying anything is an accident, and I don't dare to work hard to drive the government, so I don't need to check it again. I also blamed me for destroying the body, saying that Lu Yin accidentally fell into the water and died at a young age, which was already extremely desolate, and the yamen actually dissected the body without permission, so that he had to be anxious to detain him when he left! I just checked it carefully according to the routine, but also to find out the real cause of death, besides, when I stitched it up, the traces left were not obvious, isn't it also to keep the whole corpse for people! ”

Mo Shuoyue thought for a moment and said:

"Hearing you say this, I think of the time when I saw in an exotic miscellaneous book about the country of Hetian, which was actually a small country of several tribal groups, one of which was good at homeopathy. The so-called homeopathy is actually a ceremony to take out a special medicine and give it to the patient. They believed that by doing so, the divine power of their gods would enter the body of the sick through a specially formulated medicine, and that the sickness or wound would heal or die on its own. In the case of severe sword wounds, even if the wound is deep to the bone, they cannot accept stitches, because they believe that this behavior will make the internal organs of the body intertwined like sutures, which is even more harmful to their health. Perhaps this is why they cannot accept the suturing of the wounds of the corpses. ”

"Huh? No wonder they were so grieved and angry. Jiang Zhen's face was ashamed, "It's a sin, a sin." ”

"Unintentional mistakes, I won't blame you if I want to come to Lu Yin." Mo Shuoyue slowly rubbed the book in her hand, a thought flashed in her heart, and she said casually, "If you really don't want to go, then go to his spirit and put incense on the pillar and apologize." ”

After coming to Beijing, I occasionally went out to mourn, either to mourn in the funeral house, or on the way to mourn. Mo Shuoyue felt that she was almost comfortable with the cumbersome condolence rules in Beijing.

Behind the solemn and mighty stone lion, the plaque is engraved with the word "Lu Fu", the white spirit flag swayed gently in the wind in the gloomy sky, and the paper money fell like snowflakes. It's just that among the people who come in and out, there are more young women.

Lu Yin has many admirers, and she and Jiang Zhen lied that they were their admirers, and no one investigated them carefully, and the two entered the mansion smoothly.

After Mo Shuoyue and Jiang Zhen finished offering incense in front of the spirit, Jiang Zhen probed slightly and looked at the coffin placed behind the mourning hall.

The black lacquered coffin that showed a corner had been covered, and it was obvious that it was not ready for people to look at the remains, and everyone who came knew that he had drowned, and there was really no need to look at it again.

Mo Shuoyue, who was standing beside Jiang Yuan, clearly felt that she and she were thinking about how to open their mouths logically, stop the body that was about to be buried, and get the piece of mutton fat jade.

When Mo Shuoyue and the Lu family saluted and mourned, they deliberately exposed the corner of Gongjing Wang Jinling, after Jia Shixiang's case, Li Yunmin didn't mention it, and she always forgot to return it, so it was still in her hands, and when she went out today, she took it with her.

Lu Shun was the official in charge of the Guozijian, and when he saw this golden order, he thought that King Gongjing had specially sent someone to bring the Lu family to salute and thank her. After Mo Shuoyue returned the salute, she said to him: "The incident happened suddenly, I hope you will mourn." ”

Lu Shun endured his grief and bowed slightly. The maids in the mourning hall cried, the atmosphere was depressing, Lu Shun and Mo Shuoyue walked outside the door, stood on the steps under the eaves, and said: "The incident happened suddenly, and I didn't have time to report the funeral to the palaces, but I didn't want to Gongjing Wangfu but I sent someone first, and the old minister was grateful." ”

"Lord Lu is polite, the prince is now in charge of Dali Temple, as soon as he hears that such a thing happened to the second son of your house, he immediately sent me to pay tribute. The prince often mentions the second son of Lu and admires his outstanding talent, but it is ...... Ay...... It's a pity. ”

Lu Shun's eyes turned red again, he turned his face away, and his voice was slightly hoarse, "I think it's that sentence, everyone has their own life, and children's lives are blessed." ”

"Ling Gongzi went so suddenly, so talented, there is no one to continue, I don't know if Ling Gongzi can have a marriage match......"

Before she finished speaking, the porter outside ran to Lu Shun breathlessly, and barely allowed herself to speak smoothly: "Old ...... Master! Prince Gongjing and Prince Su came to pay tribute. ”

Hearing the words "Prince Su Fu", Mo Shuoyue's brain buzzed, her body trembled instinctively, there seemed to be a frame of phantom flashing in front of her eyes, and the piercing pain in her heart made her lips instantly bloodless, and her eyes were dark, she gritted her teeth and held on, not letting herself fall.

Fortunately, as soon as they heard the news, the Lu family was so shocked that they forgot to mourn, and they didn't bother to pay attention to her, a pawn, and went to the door to greet King Gongjing one by one.

Mo Shuoyue retreated to a corner, trying her best to submerge herself in a group of plain mourning clothes, breathing hard to keep herself calm.
