Ye Jintang, who had been waiting for a long time, entered the room, and Mrs. Ye couldn't wait to say, "It's really a hard life for me to die in a foreign land. As a mother, I feel very uncomfortable."
"I heard someone say that the soul of a person who dies in a foreign land cannot rest in peace, so it is best to copy the scriptures and give them to him."
"But I am old and weak-minded. You are Lao Liu's only daughter. It is okay for you to copy scriptures on behalf of your grandmother."
"When Lao Liu is buried, take the scriptures you copied to the grave and burn them, so that Lao Liu can rest in peace."
As she spoke, Grandma Sun put a large pile of scriptures on the table.
At this moment, Ye Jintang finally understood what kind of monster Mrs. Ye wanted to be again. She copied the entire three-finger-thick scripture, fearing that her hand would break.
But the reasons given by the old lady did not allow Ye Jintang to refuse.
If she dares to say not to copy today, she will be labeled as unfilial immediately.
Moreover, Mrs. Ye meant that if she could not finish copying, her parents would not be buried in the ancestral home.
Ye Jintang has been in business for so many years, and he knows very well that procrastination can lead to nothing.
Mrs. Ye is such a good person, she has a lot of thoughts, but unfortunately Mrs. Ye will never calculate it, because her soul, Ye Jintang, has long been replaced by someone else.
With her hand speed of one pen refill a day for the college entrance examination, this bit of Buddhist scriptures is nothing.
I wonder if Mrs. Ye will be so surprised that she will have a heart attack if she copies it in a few days.
When the time comes, she wants to see what else she can say to prevent her parents from being buried in their ancestral graves.
"Grandma is still thoughtful. My granddaughter is too young to think of this. Thank you so much, grandma."
Ye Jintang looked grateful and pretended to stand up and salute her.
Whether it was facial expressions or etiquette, Ye Jintang had it all just right.
Madam Ye thought Ye Jintang was careless and easy to fool.
As for being a monster in front of her, it's probably because she's really delicate.
"Grandma still feels sorry for you. I'm tired, so you can go back."
"Mother Sun asked those concubines not to come over to pay my respects."
Mrs. Ye waved her hand towards Ye Jintang, signaling her to leave.
Seeing that Mrs. Ye had been tortured so much today, Ye Jintang did not continue, leaving her alone. She would still need Mrs. Ye's help when she married into Prince Qin's palace in the future.
After coming out of Mrs. Ye's yard, Ye Jintang did not leave immediately, but called Grandma Sun.
"Nanny Sun, the house where I live is too cold. If I want to burn the earth dragon, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble my grandma to send me more charcoal."
"Sixth girl doesn't know something. There are only two baskets of charcoal per person per month in each courtyard. If a girl wants to burn earth dragons, she has to pay for the extra charcoal herself."
"Why don't you, girl, put more Tangbaozi in the quilt at night? This way you can save money on charcoal and buy yourself some clothes."
"Oh, that's it. Then I'll send my mother-in-law out to buy charcoal myself, so I won't bother Grandma Sun."
Ye Jintang cursed in his heart. The Hou Mansion was also very stingy. One person had two baskets of charcoal per month, which was probably only enough for the hand stove.
"Sixth Miss, there is one more thing. The number of maids and women brought by the girl has far exceeded the girl's profit share. According to the rules of the Marquis, the girl needs to supplement the profit share with her own money."
"Well, I understand."
Ye Jintang took the people away happily. Naturally, her own maid did not need the money from the Hou Mansion.
Grandma Sun watched Ye Jintang and his entourage leave in a grand manner. The more she thought about it, the more something was wrong. She waved to a little maid.
"Xiao Huan, go and keep an eye on the Jade Courtyard, see what they are doing these days, and tell me if anything happens."
"good."
As soon as Ye Jintang returned to her room, Aunt Liu asked Zhou Wuwei to go out and watch. She pulled Ye Jintang into the room and whispered, "Girl, Mr. Jiang didn't say that he would come to pay homage to the master and his wife. Is this the case?"
"I deceived the old lady about this matter. If I hadn't said this, she would definitely not let my parents be buried in the ancestral graves."
"Girls are not afraid of cheating. The old lady will blame her when the time comes."
"What are you afraid of? Just tell Mr. Jiang that he has left the capital and doesn't have time to come. The Metropolitan Procuratorate doesn't care for idlers. Officials like Mr. Jiang will definitely move around and do things for the emperor. It's normal for him to be away from the capital."
Ye Jintang said it in an understatement, but Grandma Liu was frightened when she heard it.
Whose girl who has not yet left the court can be as bold as Ye Jintang? Even people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate would dare to use her as a shield.
"You also heard what Grandma Sun said just now. We have to go out and buy charcoal in our house. Later, you ask Zhou Cong and others to go out and buy more charcoal. We will burn the floor cage more vigorously. It’s also comfortable to sleep at night.”
"Hey, these old ladies just bully the young girl and don't know the twists and turns in the Hou Mansion."
Grandma Zhang on the side couldn't stand it and couldn't help but complain about Ye Jintang.
In a large family like the Hou Mansion, although everyone has a fixed profit share, it only restrains the subordinates, and the masters of each house are not included in this.
"Young lady, you don't know. Every year before winter, the Hou Mansion will definitely purchase a batch of charcoal and distribute it to the masters of each courtyard to burn earth dragons. There will be no profit sharing at all."
"Mother Sun doesn't give trouble to the girl. On the surface, she seems to be acting in accordance with the rules of the house, but in fact she just wants to embarrass the girl."
Ye Jintang smiled bitterly. She only had the plot of the original novel in her mind, and she had no idea about the lifestyle of the ladies and ladies of the inner house in ancient times.
Some time ago, the two nuns told her a lot about things in the inner house. Unfortunately, when it came to actual operation, mistakes were still easy to make.
It seems that I have to live in the Hou Mansion for a while and carefully study the rules of the deep house compound.
Zhou Cong is a neat worker, and he brought back two loads of charcoal in just one morning.
In addition to the charcoal for burning Earth Dragon, I also bought some Yinxiang charcoal for Ye Jintang. I heard that the Yinxiang charcoal burns without any smoke and even has a slight fragrance, which is not choking at all.
Ye Jintang completely settled in. She changed everything in the house where she lived, even the bed was replaced with a Qiangong Babu bed.
This was left by Mrs. Wen. She originally wanted to give it to her as a dowry, but unfortunately Ye Jintang will become a princess in the future, so this bed is a bit shabby for the princess's dowry.
Ye Jintang took it out to use at this moment, but it was just right.
For three days in a row, Ye Jintang followed Mrs. Ye's instructions not to pay her respects, but to copy scriptures in peace.
Every day, she could sleep until three o'clock in the morning. After breakfast, she would practice Baduanjin and Wuqinxi. Then she would read medical books and write prescriptions with Liuli all day long. When she was tired of studying, she would copy scriptures to clear her mind. It's quite fulfilling.
She was living a comfortable life, but Mrs. Ye was unhappy.
"Why is this damn girl so heartless? I lost my temper so much the past two days and she didn't react at all?"
Mrs. Ye leaned on the soft pillow with an unhappy look on her face.
