Chapter 18: Accumulation of Virtue
Xu Lingxuan is the daughter of a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, and the girl in green who was bullied by her in public is her sister-in-law, Xu Lingyi.
"I've seen the eldest princess." Sun Yijun and others saluted.
Yu Lan looked at Xu Lingyi, who was shrunk at the back of the crowd, red and swollen with tears on half of her face, a little sympathetic and a little pity.
Sun Yijun, Xu Lingxuan and others looked at Jiang Shu with extremely strange eyes, which made Jiang Shu feel uncomfortable.
"Yijun is right, this is a Buddhist temple, killing and humiliating people will be blamed by the Buddha, you should be cautious in your words and deeds."
After Yu Lan finished speaking, he said to Xu Lingyi: "God has the virtue of a good life, and today Yijun saved you, don't think about it anymore." ”
Xu Lingyi didn't speak, and secretly looked at Jiang Shu with her eyes.
Jiang Shu was stared at by her, full of doubts.
She tried hard to recall and confirmed that she didn't know Xu Lingyi, and she had never crossed paths with her, so naturally it was impossible to hold a grudge.
"It's all gone." After Yu Lan finished speaking, he turned around and left with Jiang Shu.
Ran had just taken two steps when Jiang Shu was stopped in his way.
"Madam, please save me and give me a way to live." Xu Lingyi rushed to Jiang Shu with a look of despair.
Jiang Shu was stunned and didn't understand what she meant.
Yu Lan sighed, knowing that this was not the place to speak, so Xu Lingyi followed them back to the temple and Zen courtyard.
After closing the door and sitting down, Xu Lingyi knelt in front of Jiang Shu and startled Jiang Shu.
"Miss Xu, what are you doing? Get up. Jiang Shu didn't know why, so he reached out to help her.
But Xu Lingyi insisted on refusing to get up, crying and begging: "Madame saw it today, I really have no way to live, begging Madame to accept me, even if I am a concubine, I am willing." ”
The concubine is a low-level concubine, why is this with Xu Lingyi's identity?
Although she is a concubine, her father worships the five grades, and she can find a good person to be his wife, so why bother?
Jiang Shu was full of question marks and was stunned.
"You really don't know?" Yu Lan was surprised.
Jiang Shu looked confused: "What should I know?"
Yu Lan looked at her with a complicated expression and talked about the past.
At the peony banquet seven years ago, Shen Changze knocked down a lady after drinking, and his unstable body threw himself on the girl, and he happened to be seen by someone and attracted everyone to watch, causing the girl to lose her reputation.
"This matter spread all over Shangjing back then, and the Marquis of Jing'an also went around asking for a marriage and ran into a wall, how could you know nothing?" Yu Lan thought it was incredible.
Jiang Shu's face was full of astonishment, and he muttered, "I don't know." ”
If she knew, she would not marry into the Hou Mansion.
"That lady is Miss Xu." Jiang Shu looked at Xu Lingyi in front of him and finally understood.
Xu Lingyi nodded tearfully and begged again: "Ask Mrs. to give me a way to live." ”
Looking at Xu Lingyi, who was desperate, helpless and humiliated, Jiang Shu felt pity: "I will give you an explanation, and you can go back and wait with peace of mind." ”
Today's incident is in trouble, if the Hou Mansion doesn't give Xu Lingyi an identity, I'm afraid she really won't be able to live.
On the way back to Beijing, Jiang Shu kept frowning. Half because of Xu Lingyi, half because of that stick.
Tan Yu watched from the sidelines, a little worried.
"Drive! Drive! Someone from behind crossed their carriage, and then it stopped.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Shu asked puzzled.
The coachman replied, "Madam, someone has stopped the eldest princess's car. ”
Who dares to stop the eldest princess from driving?
Jiang Shu wondered and motioned for Tan Yu to open the car door and take a look.
"It's His Royal Highness King Jing." Tan Yu exclaimed quietly.
Hearing this, Jiang Shu's eyes flashed, and he got out of the car to salute.
This is the outskirts of Beijing, and there are few people, so Jiang Shu did not wear a hat.
But when I walked over, I found that in addition to King Jing, there was also Yu Yuan, the prince of King Rong's Mansion.
The two stood side by side, King Jing was dressed in a blue power suit, and the jade crown was high and handsome.
Yu Yuan is dressed in a snow-blue suit, and his golden crown is graceful.
"I've seen the prince, Yu Shizi." Jiang Shufu saluted.
Yu Zheng bowed his head to signal, and Yu Yuan just glanced at her.
Yu Lan stood beside the carriage and talked to the two.
"So much prey, a lot of harvest."
"What Sister likes to eat, I'll send it to the General's Mansion."
King Jing and the eldest princess are born from the same mother, and the two are sisters and brothers.
Jiang Shu glanced at their horses and saw that the sides were full of prey, and only then did he understand that they were hunting and had just met.
"Yun'er said that she wanted to raise an eagle, and she happened to catch one today, so Sister will take it back to him." Yu Zheng handed the iron cage holding the young eagle to the coachman.
The driver took it and carefully put it on the car.
Yu Lan said angrily: "You just indulge him." ”
Yu Zheng pulled his lips: "No way, who made me his uncle." ”
As they spoke, Jiang Shu caught a glimpse of an iron cage hanging from a black horse, and a black thing was locked in it.
It moved, and Jiang Shu could barely see that it was a young rabbit.
"Can such a small rabbit eat?" Jiang Shu was surprised.
"Why not." Yu Yuan answered: "Smeared with honey and roasted with charcoal, it is fat and tender, and it is delicious in the world." ”
"But it's so small, how much meat can it have? The prince might as well let it go. Jiang Shu couldn't bear to plead.
The young rabbit was only the size of a palm, and it was not ready to be eaten.
Yu Yuan sneered: "This rabbit is very stupid, if you release it, it will be caught by others, and if you don't get caught, it will be eaten by wild beasts, and it will always die, so it's better to let this son eat it." ”
Jiang Shuxing's eyes rolled and said, "Since it is stupid, eating it will definitely affect the wisdom of the world, can you keep it for me?"
Yu Yuan was stunned for a moment: "I tried my best to catch it, why should I give it to you?"
That's right, too.
Jiang Shu thought about what to exchange with him, and Yu Zheng on the side spoke.
"How about I trade the deer for you?"
"Is that true?" Yu Yuan waved his hand for the attendant to fetch the rabbit, and put the deer that Yu Zheng had hunted on his horse.
I'm afraid that if it's too late, Yu Zheng will regret it.
Jiang Shu was dumbfounded.
"Madame, take it." Yu Zheng handed her the rabbit.
Jiang Shu took it in a daze: "What does the prince want in exchange." ”
His deer must have taken a lot of effort to hunt it.
"It's just a rabbit, don't be polite to him." Yu Lan avoided the important and lightened.
Yu Zheng chuckled: "What Sister said is that God has the virtue of a good life, and Mrs. raising it can be regarded as accumulating virtue for me." ”
Jiang Shu was stunned, and Yu Yuan was also stunned.
If he really wants to accumulate virtue, why does he go hunting?
Yu Lan glanced at Yu Zheng meaningfully, turned around and got into the carriage.
Jiang Shu also returned to the car.
Tan Yu hugged the cage and asked Jiang Shu: "Does eating a stupid rabbit really affect your intelligence?"
"Poof!" Jiang Shu poked her head and said, "You eat pork every year, does it affect your intelligence?"
Tan Yu was stunned for a moment, and he didn't react yet.
Looking at her appearance, Jiang Shu thought thoughtfully: "It seems to have really affected it." ”
"Not really!"
Tan Yu finally understood, blushed with annoyance, and provoked Jiang Shu to laugh for a while.
Back at the Hou Mansion, Jiang Shu opened the iron cage and released the rabbit.
Yu Yu opened his eyes wide, looked at the black mess of small things jumping around the yard, and said in surprise: "Where did this come from?"
Tan Yu was just about to speak, but Jiang Shu preemptively said, "I bought it from Orion." ”
She didn't want to hide it from Yu, but there were other people in the courtyard, and she couldn't talk about it.
"Ah, it's a flower, you can't eat it." The maidservant who took care of the flowers and plants exclaimed.
Jiang Shu smiled and instructed Yu Yu: "Go to the kitchen and get some vegetable leaves for it." ”
Yu Yu quickly brought the vegetable leaves, followed by the cook Zhong Yue.
Zhong Yue held a kitchen knife in his hand, skillfully picked up the rabbit and gestured: "It's still small, it's not enough for a dish." ”
Tan Yu was frightened when she heard this, and hurriedly snatched the rabbit over: "This is not food." ”
If His Royal Highness King Jing knew that the rabbit had been eaten, what would happen ...... Tan Yu didn't dare to think about it.
