Not allowing Ye Jintang to think too much, Grandma Sun came out and took several girls into the house.
There are many rules in the Danyang Marquis Mansion. Several girls lined up according to their age and came forward to salute the old lady. Then Ye Yanran stepped forward to serve the old lady as a legitimate granddaughter.
Mrs. Ye, who was not very happy at first, looked up at Ye Jintang's white clothes and felt her head buzzing.
"This is the first time Jintang has come to pay my respects. Who are you wearing this white dress to show to, and who are you here to bring trouble to?"
Mrs. Ye picked up the tea handed over by Ye Yanran, raised her hand and threw it at Ye Jintang's feet.
Several other girls in the room were startled, but none of them dared to shout.
"Grandma, please calm down. My granddaughter's parents have just passed away a few months ago, and they are in the midst of mourning. Naturally, they dare not wear clothes of other colors. I hope grandma will bear with me."
Like a little doormat, Ye Jintang obediently stepped forward to salute the old lady and apologize.
Mrs. Ye still wanted to show off her power, but was blocked by her words. Looking at Ye Jintang's cautious look, she only felt a big stone pressing on her chest, which almost hurt her to death.
Tian Qin Kingdom has the rules of Tian Qin Kingdom.
A girl who has not left the court must observe mourning for her dead parents for one year, and can get married after one year. As for the plain clothes she wears, she must wear them for three years. Even after getting married, she must wear plain clothes.
Ye Jintang's words were impeccable and no problem could be found. Even if Mrs. Ye wanted to have an attack, she could only endure it.
"Don't send me greetings in the future. The Chinese New Year is coming soon. It's really unlucky for you to be dressed in white all day long."
"yes."
Ye Jintang took a step forward and continued, "Grandma, my granddaughter has something else to do."
"When I return to Beijing this time, I will also bring my parents' ashes back to the capital. Regarding the matter of burying my parents in the Ye family's ancestral grave, my grandmother still needs to make the decision."
"Both your father and mother died unexpectedly. I have already asked a Taoist priest to calculate it. It is not easy for them to be buried in the Ye family's ancestral grave. Later I will ask your uncle to help look at a cemetery. It will be an auspicious day before the year, so that your father and mother can be buried as soon as possible." .”
Ye Jintang was a little dumbfounded. Madam Ye refused so neatly.
"Grandma, that Taoist priest is talking nonsense. If those who died in misfortunes are not worthy of entering their ancestors' graves, then those soldiers who fought on the battlefield cannot return to their hometowns. They can just find a place to bury them after they die in battle."
"Grandma, you must not be deceived by those fake Taoist priests."
Mrs. Ye looked at Ye Jintang with an angry face, wishing to tear her alive. There were so many grandchildren in the family, but no one dared to contradict her. Today, Ye Jintang came over and made her unhappy one after another, and she finally couldn't help but explode.
"Ye Jintang, you have to see clearly. This is the Danyang Marquis Mansion. You, a yellow-haired girl, have no right to speak. Get out of here."
When the other girls in the room saw Mrs. Ye getting so angry, some of the younger ones even had their eyes red.
Even Ye Yanran, who was usually favored, dared not say a word at this moment.
Ye Jintang was not afraid at all. She knew very well that in her current position, if she wanted to confront Mrs. Hou of Danyang Marquis, it would undoubtedly be an egg hitting a stone, so she would take a detour and use a roundabout tactic.
"Grandma, it's all my granddaughter's fault. Please calm down."
Ye Jintang bit the tip of her tongue hard, and the heartbreaking pain made her burst into tears.
"My granddaughter originally didn't care too much about whether her parents were buried in the ancestral grave. It was just her grandmother who made the final decision."
"But when we were in Yuezhou, Mr. Jiang, the left deputy inspector of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, said that my father had been the prefect of Yuezhou for many years and had very good political achievements. It was he who asked his granddaughter to take the ashes of his father and mother back to the capital and bury them in the ancestral grave as soon as possible. He also said that he would come to pay homage to my parents after they were buried."
"My granddaughter thinks that Lord Jiang has a high position and we naturally have to deal with it carefully. That's why I hope that my grandmother can bury my parents in the ancestral graves as soon as possible and this matter can be settled."
Ye Jintang said it with a serious face, not like he was faking it.
But she was thinking to herself, Jiang Zhi is sorry, I will use your tiger skin for the time being.
Mrs. Ye, who had been so angry just now that she almost strangled Ye Jintang to death, calmed down instantly when she heard the words "Duochuan Yuan".
Where is the Metropolitan Procuratorate? That is a knife in the emperor's hand.
If you provoke people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate because of this matter, you will lose more than you gain.
But when Mrs. Ye agreed to let Mr. and Mrs. Ye Li be buried in their ancestral graves, she felt extremely uncomfortable.
I saw Grandma Sun next to me suddenly stepping forward and whispering a few words.
"You guys go back first, Jintang waits outside and let me think about this."
The girls were already frightened, but upon the old lady's order, they immediately turned around and left.
Only Ye Yanran glanced meaningfully at Ye Jintang when she walked out. She was not treated well by the old lady on the first day she met her. So what if she was good-looking.
Ye Jintang, who was kicked out to sit in the outer room, was very calm. If she was not given an explanation today, she would not be dismissed easily.
Soon, Grandma Sun and Mrs. Ye were left in the house.
"Old madam, please calm down first, but don't make yourself angry."
Grandma Sun brought hot tea and asked Mrs. Ye to take a sip of tea to relieve her breath.
"Can I not be angry? That bitch is such a bastard, how can he deserve to be buried in the Ye family's ancestral grave?"
"Old Madam, this matter involves Mr. Jiang of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Sooner or later, it will be like the Sixth Girl's wish. Why not use this excuse to let the Sixth Girl copy scriptures for her parents."
"When have the scriptures been copied and when are we talking about being buried in the ancestral graves? From now on, even if Mr. Jiang asks, we can directly refer it to Miss Six."
"It's not that we don't want Master Six to be buried in the ancestral grave, it's actually because Miss Six has been unable to copy the scriptures."
"That's a good idea, haha..."
"As long as this damn girl can't finish copying, I can drag this matter on for a year and a half. By then, Master Jiang will probably have forgotten about it."
Mrs. Ye, who had looked gloomy just now, finally felt comfortable and had a smile on her face.
"Go to my library and get some thick scriptures for the dead girl to copy. Tell her to be sincere when copying the scriptures and her handwriting must be neat. If I find that she is lazy, she will copy all the scriptures for me again. "
"Yes, I will go pick out the scriptures now."
Grandma Sun resigned happily, turned around and called a little maid, and went to get the scriptures with her.
There are quite a few scriptures in the library, including the Ksitigarbha Sutra, the Avatamsaka Sutra, and the Diamond Sutra. However, the number of words in these is too small, and it would be too cheap for Ye Jintang to only take these.
"He Xiang, please take down the Lotus Sutra of Wonderful Dharma. It has seven volumes. It will take Miss Six a while to copy it."
The Lotus Sutra alone has more than 70,000 words, and when you add in other sutras, it becomes a really thick pile.
Let alone a little girl, even if you find a scholar, it is impossible to copy so many scriptures in a short time.
Grandma Sun took the scriptures into the back room. Mrs. Ye looked at the thickness and felt happy.
"Go and call the sixth girl in."
