Chapter 1268 Cemetery
Xia Zihan told Chu Lin, "Please pick two younger boys from another courtyard for Chu Meng. They must be able to read and settle accounts."
"Are you still going to buy a mother-in-law?"
"How can one mother-in-law be enough? Buy two more mothers-in-law, then buy a rough servant girl, and two more for the head attendant."
After all, she is the wife of a fifth-rank official, how can she do so without many servants in the family.
Chu Lin said with envy, "Master, you have thought of everything for Chu Meng. Tsk tsk tsk. Chu Meng's life is really good. When she gets married, she will be the wife of a fifth-rank official. She is also surrounded by a lot of servants. .”
"Well, I will tell the fox about this." Xia Zihan's expression was calm, as if she was not the one who wanted to file a complaint. Chu Lin's expression changed and she came over flatteringly, "Master, I'm just saying casually. If you are really envious, then I envy Chu Cang.”
Chu Xing is a queen of a country. After she was a little maid and mixed up in a country, who else in the world is as lucky as her?
At this time, Chu Jingqi came in from outside, with a very cold face.
When Chu Lin saw it, she resigned hurriedly and cleverly.
Xia Zihan stood up and faced Chu Jingqi, "What's wrong? What happened? Your face is so ugly?" He reached out and untied Chu Jingqi's cloak and hung it on the hanger.
Chu Jingqi sat down on the chair, poured a cup of hot tea, and drank it.
Holding back his anger, he said, "When Ao Tianchen was passing by Jiangning City while escorting the prisoner, he was stopped by people from Yueshan Gate, and Le Ying was robbed."
"What?"
Xia Zihan had just sat down and was picking up the teapot to pour herself tea. As a result, her hand, shocked by the sudden news, slipped and the teapot fell on the table. The tea spilled out and flowed along the table to the ground.
Xia Zihan had a sullen face, looking at the tea dripping on the ground, and said grimly, "Ao Tianchen just handed over the person obediently?"
"The matter of Le Ying bowing down to the emperor is just a verbal guess we made based on Le Ying's strange behavior. There is no real evidence. The people of Yueshan Sect ask him for someone, and if he doesn't give it, it will be a blatant provocation to the martial arts. , then, there may be another bloody storm between the imperial court and Wulin. Ao Tianchen had to let him go for the sake of the overall situation. "
Xia Zihan was trembling with anger and said angrily, "When I caught Le Ying, I should have killed her secretly, but why..."
Chu Jingqi explained, "The emperor's order was to kill Le Ying as soon as he caught her. But later, the emperor changed his mind. The Heavenly Master said that killing Le Ying would only kill an innocent person. The emperor’s is that evil soul, Le Even if Ying is dead, the soul possessing Le Ying will still escape. When the time comes, it will be even more difficult to catch her. The Heavenly Master wants to escort Le Ying back to the capital and let him personally Come and save that soul.”
"Then what should we do now?" People have been taken away by people from the Yueshan Sect, how can they save their souls?
When this matter was mentioned, Chu Jingqi's face turned very ugly.
You know, in order to catch Le Ying, Chu Yuexi suffered a lot. He ran from the capital to the south of the Yangtze River, almost all of the south of the Yangtze River, and then chased to the northwest... Now, he was finally caught, but Yue Shan The people at the door are at odds with each other, and everyone will have to hold their breath if this matter is placed on their shoulders.
Chu Jingqi said, "The Heavenly Master has been notified. The Heavenly Master said that he would personally go to Yueshanmen to prevent the evil spirit from continuing to rampage." The most important thing is that he is afraid that the evil spirit will continue to use vicious and heretical methods. To endanger the emperor's body.
Originally, the emperor wanted him to go to Yueshanmen with Tianshi, but the second prince said that Leying was already at Yueshanmen, so it was not suitable for people from the court to get involved in Leying's incident. If the court If the person among them went with the Celestial Master, it means that this is a matter for the imperial court, and the imperial court went to ask for someone from Yueshanmen.
By then, there will definitely be a conflict between the imperial court and Wulin.
The Heavenly Master went by himself. The Heavenly Master was not a member of the imperial court, but a monk from the Huguo Temple, or a high-ranking monk with a high reputation in the world. The Heavenly Master went to Yueshanmen to ask for someone, saying that Le Ying had been raped. The people of Yueshan Sect will not disbelieve the evil spirits and will only hand them over obediently in the end.
This saves a lot of trouble.
"In that case, we can only wait." Xia Zihan sighed and said helplessly.
She called the maid in and wiped the water stains on the floor and table.
Chu Jingqi also mentioned that Xia Shiming asked him to help buy a hilltop near the outskirts of the capital to be used as the Xia family's cemetery in the future.
Xia Shiming wanted to create a new family tree, prepare another cemetery, and separate from the Xia family in Jiangning City. This was also Zeng's last words before his death.
Before she died, Mrs. Zeng wanted to return Chu Jiahui's spiritual tablet to him and let him enshrine it in the Xia family in the capital. She also wanted him to be buried with Chu Jiahui in the same cave a hundred years later, but Mrs. Zeng hated it very much. The Xia family in Jiangning City did not want Chu Jiahui to continue to lie in the cemetery of the Xia family in Jiangning City, so Xia Shiming could only prepare another cemetery and move Chu Jiahui's grave there.
Since his branch wants to settle in the capital in the future, it is better for the cemetery to be located in the capital. If it falls in Jiangning City, then it will not look good and it does not make sense if he prepares another cemetery in Jiangning City.
How can any member of the Xia family divide their families into separate cemeteries? Isn’t this a joke to outsiders?
Therefore, Xia Shiming simply wanted to buy a hilltop in the capital and use it as an ancestral cemetery for his people in the future.
Chu Jingqi said, "The hills with good feng shui near the outskirts of the city are all owned. If my father-in-law wants to buy it, he has to go farther. I will take my father-in-law out to have a look tomorrow."
"That's fine. This is the most important place to choose when choosing a cemetery. After you check it out, go to the Huguo Temple and ask a master to take a look. If the feng shui is good, then buy it." Cemeteries are related to future generations To be lucky, you must choose a place with good Feng Shui. It doesn’t matter if it’s far away. Don’t be in a hurry and look for it slowly. Even if you want to move to your mother’s grave, you have to start spring next year. The ground is frozen in this winter, so it’s not easy to bloom. Soil.”
The next day, Chu Jingqi did not go. Ao Tianchen, who was supposed to arrive the day after, actually arrived a day early. He accompanied the emperor and went to the city gate in person to greet Ao Tianchen, the army, and the Zhao family prisoners.
All members of the Zhao family were detained in prison vans. There were more than a hundred people in two long rows of prison vans. There were old and young, men and women. They were all thinly dressed and unkempt. There were a few thin children who were shivering from the cold. , his lips turned purple, and his small body shrank hard into the prison car, hoping to shield them from the cold wind.
As soon as they entered the city, they were thrown snowballs, vegetable leaves, eggs, and rotten banana peels by the angry people who came to watch...
