Chapter 52 She solemnly bowed to the collapsed statue
Tomorrow is the Xiangshui County Wandering Gods Festival.
The officials sent two nuns to teach Xiao Baojing his manners, but Xiao Baojing refused and chose to practice his manners with Emperor Wumian in the corridor.
She held a bowl of water on her head, folded her hands on her chest, and took dignified steps, but she couldn't help but look curiously at Emperor Wu Mian.
Emperor Wu Mian obviously wanted to go home, but when she returned to the Ji family's ancestral home, she didn't go anywhere, not even to visit her husband who resigned and returned home...
Seeing her in a daze, Emperor Wumian frowned in displeasure and pointed at her face with her sleeve.
Smile.
Mrs. Xiang is the god who protects the land and water, and should always maintain a compassionate smile.
But Xiao Baojing couldn't imitate the gentle and generous smile of ancient women without showing her teeth. It was okay at first, but gradually her teeth would show when she smiled for a long time. The sunshine at the turn of spring and summer was so bright!
After being reminded several times by Emperor Wu Mian, Xiao Baojing could only smile with her lips pursed, her cheeks stiffened from laughter.
Several little maids from the Ji family crowded not far away and took a peek.
They couldn't see Emperor Wu Mian, and they could only see Xiao Baojing walking and laughing as if she was going crazy.
The laugh is so weird!
Xiao Baojing: Money is hard to make, shit is hard to eat, and five taels of silver is not that easy to earn.
After Wumian Diji had been teaching her for so long, she couldn't help but feel a little angry when she saw that her smile was still not noble and graceful enough.
She wrapped her arms with her wide sleeves, pulled her to her, and signaled her to watch.
Xiao Baojing looked at her with bright eyes.
I saw Emperor Wumian standing upright and graceful, with her hands folded elegantly on her chest, her lips and phoenix eyes curved just right, and she nodded and smiled with a noble and gentle gesture, as if a god was getting close to her child. civil.
She is a royal princess. She has behaved herself since she was born. Every step she takes seems to be measured with a ruler. It is effortless to play the role of a goddess.
After she demonstrated, she signaled Xiao Baojing to do it again.
Xiao Baojing followed her example, folding his hands, smiling, and nodding around.
It's just that she is young, and her smile lacks some compassion and kindness.
Although Emperor Wu Mian is still not satisfied, she is much better than before.
She sat quietly on the beauty's back and looked sadly into the distance.
Xiao Baojing sat next to her, not daring to mention Prime Minister Ji. He only asked with concern: "Sister Diji, you have gone home, why are you still unhappy?"
Emperor Wumian glanced at Xiao Baojing, then raised her sleeves and pointed in that direction in the distance.
Xiao Baojing held her little face in her hands and thought.
Emperor Wumian wanted to go home, but she did not recognize the Ji family's ancestral home as her home, and instead still pointed in the original direction.
Suddenly she had an idea.
She quickly ran to Shang Bingjiu's room and pulled out a map from the basket.
This is the map Ji Zhengyan drew for her.
She raised the map and said crisply: "Seller, I know what Emperor Wu Mian means! The home she wants to return to is not the Ji family, but Ye Jing! The palace in Ye Jing is her home! Look , the palace is in the direction she pointed!”
Everyone says that after a woman gets married, her husband's family becomes their home.
But, why can’t the natal family also be their home?
Shang Bingjiu praised: "The little princess is so smart!"
Xiao Baojing closed the door and window mysteriously and approached Shang Bingjiu: "I have made a bold plan. When the wandering is over tomorrow evening and everyone is busy celebrating, we will secretly go to the Ji family's ancestral grave and steal Wu Mian. Emperor Ji’s bones, and then quietly left Xiangshui County and took her to Ye Jing!”
"The little princess has a good plan. The only question is, why should I help her?"
Xiao Baojing got stuck: "She...she is the aunt of this skin on my body...I used someone else's skin after all..."
Shang Bingjiu was held in his hands and his eyes fell on Xiao Baojing's fair and tender face.
Like a shelled egg.
He endured his hunger and lay down on the table: "I picked up the skin based on my ability, so I don't owe her anything. I won't help."
Seeing that he had no room for change, Xiao Baojing had no choice but to leave in despair.
As soon as he stepped out of the threshold, he bumped into Emperor Wu Mian.
Xiao Baojing was not sure whether she heard the conversation between her and the salesman, so he comforted her and said, "Sister Diji, don't worry, I will definitely take you home!"
Isn't it just digging a grave?
If the salesman can't count on him, how can he not count on herself?
It's night.
Xiao Baojing carried a hoe, avoided the servants and maids in the Ji family's ancestral house, and quietly went to the back mountain, but he bumped into the sneaky Ji Shanchuan.
Eyes facing each other.
Ji Shanchuan hesitated to speak: "Miss Xiao, you..."
Xiao Baojing: "Come out and relieve yourself."
She couldn't tell him that she planned to dig his grandma's grave, right? Ji Shanchuan: "Your hoe..."
Xiao Baojing: "Bury it or something."
Ji Shanchuan was silent for a moment and praised: "Miss Xiao loves to be clean like a cat."
Xiao Baojing coughed lightly, and his eyes fell on the vase of wealthy magpies held in his arms: "Where are Mr. Ji going with the vase?"
This man looks like a little thief who steals things in the middle of the night to sell!
Ji Shanchuan: "I was very thirsty in the middle of the night, so I brought a bottle to get some water."
The two of them had a tacit understanding and parted ways silently.
There is a waterfall in the back mountain, and two huge copper fish hang on the waterfall, overlooking the entire Xiangshui County.
The ancestors of the Ji family are buried here.
Xiao Baojing took advantage of the moonlight and quickly found the tomb of Emperor Wumian.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
She raised the hoe without hesitation.
Excavate!
…
Dark clouds cover the moon.
There is a ruined temple at the end of the alley, and scattered snowflakes are falling.
The woman with pearls between her eyebrows quietly appeared in the temple.
She bowed solemnly to the collapsed statue.
On the altar, a young man in Taoist robes and crane feathers suddenly appeared.
He held his chin in his hand and looked down at the woman in the temple: "Why should I help you?"
Xiao Wumian took out the Pisces bronze mirror and respectfully enshrined it in front of the altar.
The young man turned his hand, and the bronze mirror instantly appeared in his palm.
The exquisite and gorgeous bronze instrument is one that little girls will like.
It's a pity that the Pisces on the back has been dug away by life, leaving only a hollow fish-shaped groove.
…
The moon rises from Dongshan.
The ancestral home of the Ji family, back mountain.
Xiao Baojing stuck out his buttocks and worked hard to dig the grave. It took him two hours and a lot of effort to dig out the grave.
She knelt on the ground and reached out to brush away the dirt on the coffin.
The coffin from forty years ago has long been faded and mottled.
She gritted her teeth and used all her strength to finally push open the coffin.
The corpse in the coffin had long been reduced to bones, and there were no gold or jade objects buried with it. It was simple and crude, and it didn't look like the tomb of the Emperor Ji of the Tian family at all.
Xiao Baojing spread out the cloth he brought and hurriedly picked up the bones and put them in.
Finally, she tied the cloth head into a bundle and left the back mountain furtively.
…
Xiao Baojing sneaked into Shang Bingjiu's room. As soon as he placed the bones on his bed, he heard the sound of the young man entering.
She was curious: "Where have you been in the middle of the night?"
"...Relieve yourself."
Xiao Baojing opened the bed curtain mysteriously: "Look, what did I get back?"
On Shang Bingjiu's bed, there was a complete set of skeletons.
Shang Bing Liquor: "..."
Xiao Baojing: "It's the skeleton of Emperor Wumian. I dug it out from the Ji family's ancestral grave in the middle of the night!"
Shang Bingjiu took a deep breath and decided not to worry about her placing a skeleton in his nest for the time being.
He pointed to the skeleton's hand: "Are you sure these are her bones?"
Xiao Baojing realized later.
Emperor Wu Mian lost her hands.
But the skeleton is complete.
But she definitely didn't dig the wrong grave.
Why don't the bones match?
Why are other people's bones buried in Emperor Wumian's tomb?
