Zhou Wuwei went out of the room, and Ye Jintang asked Luzhu to find the clothes she would wear tomorrow.
It was a set of plain white brocade clothes, pure white without any patterns.
"Tomorrow I won't wear any headdress on my head, just a wooden hairpin."
"Is the girl too plain?"
"Won't."
Although Ye Jintang has never met Ye Li and Mrs. Wen, information and objects related to them have appeared around her from time to time for such a long time.
Almost all the furniture she currently uses is the dowry prepared by the two for the original owner.
The money she spent was also saved by the two of them.
Ye Jintang should not neglect them either emotionally or rationally.
Dressing in plain clothes and watching them being buried in the Ye family's ancestral home was what she should do.
The next day, at dawn, Ye Jintang washed up, changed clothes, and went to greet Mrs. Ye and told her that today was the day when Ye Li and his wife were buried.
Madam Ye still didn't see her, and only asked Grandma Sun to bring her a message, asking her to go and come back early, and not to stay outside for too long.
"Old madam, Miss Six is even more outrageous today. She is wearing plain white."
Mrs. Ye, who was leaning on the soft couch, snorted coldly.
"It's really unlucky."
"Who says it's not the case? There are elders at home, so how can the sixth girl dress like this?"
"Yunshuang and Hexiang, two girls, have also been here to serve me for a long time. Did they find out anything?"
"Sixth girl didn't let the two of them enter the house at all. They wanted to ask the maids waiting in the house, but they were all talkative and couldn't ask anything at all."
"Looking at that unlucky thing, I felt panicked in my heart. No, I can't let this dead girl have such a happy life."
Mrs. Ye sat up straight and quickly thought of ways to deal with Ye Jintang.
As long as she sees Ye Jintang living a comfortable life, she will feel panicked. Only when Ye Jintang is unlucky can she be happy.
"Didn't the dead girl keep clamoring all day long for her parents to be buried in the ancestral graves? Now it's her wish, so she can go to White Horse Temple to pray for her parents."
"Why is the old lady doing this? Isn't it good for Mr. Liu?"
"The prayers I'm talking about are not ordinary prayers."
After living in the back house for a long time, the old lady has many ways to tease people.
"If Sixth Girl doesn't like to copy scriptures and pray for blessings, then let her go to Baima Temple and copy a few scriptures for my old lady to pray for blessings."
As she spoke, Madam Ye showed a fierce look on her face.
"Going to the temple to copy scriptures is naturally not as comfortable as at home. To show piety, the six girls must bathe and change clothes, and kneel in front of the Buddha statue to copy."
"Besides, you must fast for three days before copying. During these three days, you cannot eat any meat or fish, and you cannot eat too much rice. Eat it by the grain in one meal. The number 81 is good."
"Whenever I recover from my illness, I will ask Liu Yatou to come back."
Grandma Sun on the side was stunned for a moment. She only ate 81 grains of rice in one meal. Can that person still live?
And they had to kneel down to copy scriptures.
As long as the old lady doesn't say anything, the sixth girl won't be able to return to the Marquis Mansion even if her legs are crippled by kneeling.
"The old lady still has a way. After this incident, the six girls will definitely be dealt with and obeyed."
"Well, she can't take her personal maids with her, so let her take He Xiang and Grandma Lou. If she wants to use the money at hand, she will naturally ask the two of them to help. By then, the two of them will always be able to tell her the details. Find out clearly."
"She didn't take the money a few days ago and invited several monks to go to the ancestral hall to chant sutras. Liu Yatou definitely has money in her hands, but she hid it too deep."
"What the old lady said is absolutely true. It's because this slave is too stupid that she didn't handle this matter well. I'll go and tell He Xiang and Grandma Lou soon to tell them to take advantage of this matter and do it well."
Ye Jintang sat on the carriage and headed to the Ye family's ancestral grave on the outskirts of the capital.
"A sneeze."
Ye Jintang covered his mouth with a handkerchief and couldn't help but sneeze again.
"Girl, did you catch a cold while kicking the quilt last night?"
Liuli, who was sitting on Ye Jintang's lower right hand, quickly stretched out her hand to feel Ye Jintang's pulse.
"It's okay, I don't know who is whispering behind my back."
Ye Jintang rubbed his nose.
"It's really cold in the capital. After sitting in the carriage for a while, my hands and feet are cold."
Luzhu couldn't help but rub her hands. She knew it was cold outside before going out, so she deliberately wore a thick brocade jacket. But even so, after just two cups of tea, she felt cold all over her body.
"Take it."
A hand stove fell steadily into Lu Zhu's arms.
"This is the girl's hand stove, slaves cannot use it."
Luzhu knew his identity very well and did not dare to go beyond the limit, so he quickly returned the stove to Ye Jintang.
"This is outside. You don't have to follow those rules. I just have cotton gauntlets."
This time when they went out, Ye Jintang only brought Lvzhu and Liuli with him. The others were looking after the house in the Hou Mansion, and the carriage belonged to the Hou Mansion. After they went out, they realized how cold it was to sit motionless in the carriage.
Luzhu hugged the hand stove gratefully and warmed her hands for a while, then gave the hand stove to Liuli so that she could also warm her hands.
"Today we are going up the mountain. It is expected that it will be even colder when the north wind blows on the mountain. Before going up the mountain, put more charcoal in the hand stove to avoid freezing on the mountain."
"yes."
Luzhu quickly responded. They rarely went out of the Hou Mansion. They really didn't know that the north wind outside was so strong. If she had known it was so cold, she would have brought a few more hand stoves.
The carriage drove through Chang'an Street and left the city soon.
After walking along the wide official road for more than half an hour, we finally saw the ancestral graves of the Ye family.
It stands to reason that it is impossible to build a tomb in winter, but the clan elders have the skills of the clan elders, and I don’t know what means they used to buy a built tomb.
Ye Jintang didn't ask any questions. As long as the matter was done, she didn't care about the means.
As soon as Ye Jintang arrived at the grave, he started various rituals. The monks circled the grave and chanted sutras again and again. Ye Jin slightly closed his eyes and started chanting in a low voice.
When all the ceremonies were over, the two coffins were buried, and the grave was slowly buried, Ye Jintang, who had been standing aside, felt that his legs were freezing.
"Sixth girl, give your parents a stick of incense."
Ye Mushan brought some incense and handed it to Ye Jintang.
"Thank you clan elder."
Ye Jintang offered incense devoutly and burned many paper bundles and gold ingots for Ye Li and his wife.
"I will also offer a stick of incense to Mr. Ye."
Jiang Zhi's voice suddenly sounded from behind Ye Jintang, startling her.
"When did Master Jiang come?"
Ye Jintang turned around and saw Jiang Zhi in a black brocade robe three to five meters behind her.
"I've been here for a while. I just saw Miss Six looking sad. It's not easy for Jiang to come and disturb her."
Jiang Zhi took the incense from his young servant Lechuan and respectfully paid homage to Ye Li and his wife.
"Thank you Lord Jiang. If it hadn't been for Lord Jiang's help that day, my parents would not have been buried in the ancestral graves so easily."
As Ye Jintang stepped forward to salute Jiang Zhi, she was grateful to him from the bottom of her heart, and it was not for nothing.
"Miss Six is too polite. It's cold on the mountain. Girl, it's better to come down early."
Everything was arranged properly. Ye Jintang took one look at the brand new tomb and followed Jiang Zhi down the mountain.
