"Don't give me the ecstasy soup. You know better than anyone how difficult our life has been these years. It's difficult for me to leave the capital."
There was a smile on Jiang Mo's face, but the words he spoke were full of sadness.
When he led a group of his men into battle to kill the enemy, he was surrounded by the fierce Beidi people in front of him, and behind him was the imperial concubine who wanted his life at every turn.
Under such a situation of being attacked from both sides and flanks, Jiang Mo's life can be imagined.
Thinking about his current situation, Jiang Mo sighed in his heart. He couldn't give Ye Jintang a stable life, so why should he be persistent.
Jiang Mo returned to the palace to handle official duties in the middle of the night, put on a human skin mask and transformed into Jiang Zhi, continuing to be the left deputy inspector of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
The identity of Zuodu Ducha Shi is still very useful. Whether he can leave smoothly depends on the operation of this identity.
As for Ye Jintang, she worked hard and finally decided to bury her parents in the ancestral grave at Mrs. Ye's birthday party.
She had never been exposed to this kind of thing before, and specifically asked Aunt Liu and Aunt Zhang whether there should be a ceremony or any ceremony on the day her parents were buried in the ancestral grave.
"Girl, it stands to reason that Mr. Ye died in office. If he wants to be buried in his ancestral grave, the funeral must be held again to show respect."
"But the old Marquis and the old lady will definitely not agree with the current situation."
"But the Ye family ancestral hall must be opened, and the monks who should be invited are also invited to come back and recite sutras for a few days. Master Ye cannot be allowed to hide in the ancestral grave silently."
"What Aunt Liu is saying is that no matter what, my father is also a fifth-rank official in Zhizhou, so it is appropriate to invite a few monks to come back and chant sutras."
Ye Jintang was confident and immediately went to Mrs. Ye early the next morning to inquire about Mr. Ye and his wife being buried in the Ye family's ancestral grave.
"Miss Six, the old lady is feeling a little unwell today and doesn't want to see her. As for the matter of Mr. Six being buried in the ancestral grave, the old lady said that the girl should make her own decision. If you don't understand anything, you can go to the clan elders to discuss it."
"It's really difficult to disturb the old lady if she wants to drink some medicine these days. I would also like to ask Miss Six to come to the old lady regardless of any trivial matters."
Grandma Sun's implication was that Mrs. Ye didn't want to take care of anything, let alone use money to manage the matter of Mr. Ye and his wife being buried in the ancestral grave.
"I also ask Grandma Sun to take me to say hello to my grandmother. She doesn't have to worry about my father's affairs. My granddaughter will definitely take care of it."
Ye Jintang bowed politely towards Mrs. Ye's house and left in a grand manner.
But after turning around, the corners of her lips curled up slightly, and she couldn't suppress the joy in her heart.
Just now she was still struggling with the fact that Mrs. Ye was afraid that she would argue with her again and embarrass her.
Now she doesn't care about anything, it's playing into her own hands.
Returning to his small courtyard, Ye Jintang changed his clothes and went to the clan to find the clan elder.
The Ye family has only been prosperous in the capital for a few decades. There are three elders in the family, all of whom were invited by Ye Jintang to speak at the Ye family ancestral hall.
Ye Jintang, who was wearing a gauze hat, greeted the three clan elders politely.
"Sixth girl, there is no need to be polite."
Seeing that Ye Jintang was so polite, Ye Mushan smiled a little more.
On weekdays, few of the girls who are the direct descendants of the Hou Mansion take them seriously when they see clan elders like them.
"I invited three clan elders here to discuss my father's decision to enter the ancestral grave. I am young and don't understand many things, so I have to rely on the three clan elders."
"It's easy to talk about."
In fact, Mrs. Ye had already told the three of them before that they were not allowed to hold a funeral for Mr. Ye. They just opened an ancestral hall for Ye Jintang to go in and kneel down, burn some paper, dig a grave and bury the person.
Now Ye Jintang let them make the decision, and naturally they followed Mrs. Ye's instructions.
"Since the three clan elders said this, I naturally want to listen to them. But I think that my parents were killed by others, and I am afraid that they will hold grudges."
"And they haven't been buried for so long. I really can't bear it. Three clan elders, please see if I can invite some monks to come back and read sutras for my parents for a few days."
The three clan elders exchanged glances and asked a few monks to chant sutras, which seemed not to violate Mrs. Ye's wishes.
Just when they were hesitating, Lu Zhu beside Ye Jintang immediately took out three envelopes and placed them in front of the three clan elders.
"Miss Six, what are you doing?"
"When I bury my parents, I will not only disturb the clan elders, but also many people in the clan. Furthermore, I want to make my parents' graves better, but you also know that my grandmother doesn't like me. .”
Ye Jintang personally took out an envelope as he spoke.
"The money here is used to pay for the graves of my parents. If there is any leftover, I will buy wine for the people in the clan who are helping me."
The envelope in Ye Jintang's hand fell on Ye Mushan's table.
He picked up the two envelopes and opened them. He saw that the first envelope contained 200 taels of silver notes, and the second envelope contained 1,000 taels of silver notes.
Mrs. Ye has already told the time of Lord Ye's burial, and it only takes four days to dig his grave.
The weather is cold and the ground is frozen. It is impossible to build a luxurious tomb in such a short period of time. At least half of the 1,000 taels of silver will be left.
Although 500 and 600 taels of silver don't seem to be much, ordinary families in the capital can't use 10 taels of silver a year. For Ye Mushan and the Ye family members who are not rich and powerful, 500,600 taels of silver is not a small amount.
"this?"
Ye Mushan didn't know how to get back to Ye Jintang.
"Three clan elders, if you don't tell me what happened today, and if I don't tell it, no one else will know that my grandmother has been unwell these past few days and has closed the door to refuse guests, let alone that there will be people on the ancestral graves of the Ye family on the outskirts of the capital city. what happen."
Ye Jintang said this, and the three elders agreed to the matter.
The hush fee of 200 taels per person is still very attractive.
"All that will cause trouble to the clan elder. I have a servant named Zhou Cong next to me. If it is inconvenient for the clan elder to come to me in the future, he can just ask Zhou Cong."
"That's fine."
Ye Mushan also understood that there were some details that needed to be discussed with Ye Jintang when digging the grave, but it was really inconvenient for her as a housewife, but having a servant would be much better.
After the matter was finalized, Ye Jintang finally let go of one of his worries.
Mrs. Ye had her own clever plan, and she, Ye Jintang, also had her own ladder to cross the wall. It was impossible for her to suffer the consequences.
Zhou Cong took on such an important errand and ran out almost every two days.
Zhou Wuwei was even busier than him. After Ye Jintang's medicinal shop opened, almost every shop had a steady stream of customers.
He didn't understand. Their medicinal materials were obviously much more expensive than other people's. Why did so many people spend their free money to buy expensive products?
"Master, shopkeeper Su said that there are not enough medicinal materials and asked you to send a batch as soon as possible."
Zhou Wuwei showed Ye Jintang the medicine list given to him by shopkeeper Su.
A palm-sized book was opened, with dozens of medicinal materials on it, each with its quantity and sales price marked on it.
"Okay, you talk to Shopkeeper Su and give it to him in two days. I have something to do tomorrow."
"Yes, I'll go back to Shopkeeper Su right now."
