Chapter 184: The twelfth lunar month is full of people

At the end of Shen Shi, a bloody news came from Zhongyuan. Ye Fan had somehow asked someone to kill a young servant, and even let the five brothers of Ye Xiao'an watch the punishment...

When the five people left, Li Jicai, the attendant general around Yefan, yelled loudly: "You guys who are blind, haven't you dragged the corpse of this dog down, and it will smear the eyes of the young masters."

Song Ruoxi frowned. The young servant who was beaten to death was obviously the eyeliner placed by one of the five brothers next to Ye Fan. Ye Fan cruelly killed one of the five people. It was not only those five people, but also her. She also sent Cannibal to buy the people around him to inquire about the news. This was definitely not allowed by him. After thinking about it, he summoned Cannibal to come up with him. "I'd better think of another way to inquire about the news in the future. Don't start from the people around the city lord. If you accidentally reveal your strength, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"Don't worry, young lady, I will act cautiously and will not let the city lord discover it." The silkworm said righteously.

"Canniang, I don't want to see something happen to you." Song Ruoxi held Canniang's hand and tightly said that it felt like once he let go, Canniang's misfortune would happen.

"Mrs. Lu Xiuqi's third brother is a person who sells news. Once, in order to inquire about the news, he asked me to pretend to be a cook and enter the mansion. In order to let me find out the news smoothly, he taught me some precautions. I will protect myself well and not let myself get into trouble, and I will not implicate those who provide the news. Please rest assured, Mrs. Silkworm said confidently.

Song Ruoxi didn't expect that Cannibal had received training in this area, so he felt relieved and said, "Be careful and never have any trouble."

The silkworm repeatedly promised that she would ask for information while protecting herself. Then Song Ruoxi let go and asked her to go to the kitchen to work on supper.

At dusk, Hongxiao came back, but she could not bring back the news of Chenzhou. Song Ruoxi was disappointed and leaned on the brocade mat with a look of depressing expression. Communication in ancient times was too inconvenient. If it were modern, it would be enough to make a phone call. Even if you can't see anyone, you can hear the sound.

"Mrs. Young Madam, that thing will be done tonight." Hongxiao distracted her from using something else.

"What's the matter?" Song Ruoxi looked at her blankly.

"It's just that the young lady said she wanted to teach the eldest son a lesson." Hongxiao reminded her.

"Oh, thank you for your hard work." Song Ruoxi was worried about Ye Shuhua's safety and was no longer interested in asking for details about this matter.

Seeing Song Ruoxi like this, Hongxiao knew that everything she said was in vain, so she simply said nothing, turned around and went out to find Lu Xiu to let her match Ding Shenxiang, so that Song Ruoxi would not damage her body due to excessive thoughts.

Perhaps with the Dingshen incense specially made with green sleeves, Song Ruoxi fell asleep quickly after taking a shower. Of course, not everyone could fall asleep peacefully. That night, the Angong Mansion was very lively, and various strange noises made Ye Xiao'an almost embarrassed for his favored concubine.

There was a strange noise at night that made Ye Xiao'an unable to sleep at night, and he was furious. Who knew that as soon as the sky was dawn in the morning, the general manager hurriedly reported: "Young Master, all the poultry raised in the mansion died overnight, and the three pomegranate trees in the lady's courtyard also withered."

Ye Xiaoan's face darkened, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he snorted coldly: "You dare to play tricks and play with me, these dogs don't want to live anymore. Check it out and check it thoroughly."

The manager led the staff to investigate for a day without any harvest. At night, strange noises continued everywhere, and all the poultry they had just bought died without any scars. Three pomegranate trees in the mansion died without warning.

Ye Xiao'an may not care about the dead poultry, but there is a saying that pomegranates are Yizi. What does it mean to die withered pomegranate trees? If one or two trees die, or ten or eight trees, it can be understood, but why only three trees die, and there are three legitimate sons under his knees. The more he thinks about it, the more he becomes, the more scared he becomes, the more he feels, and the more he thinks about it, he invites Master Zhang Tian from Chongzhen Palace to come with a post.

Ye Xiaoan and Pan Lingjuan restrained the people in the mansion and were not allowed to spread these things, but there was no airtight wall in the world, especially Ye Xiaoan and several good brothers who were waiting to take advantage of the situation. With their support, the city soon had a loss in his actions, which made the gods angry, and rumors of various strange phenomena appearing in the mansion.

Song Ruoxi did not ask about the lesson of Ye Xiao'an, so Hongxiao did not talk much about her. She did not expect that a small change from the person who was doing the work would make the matter unexpected, and eventually led to Ye Xiao'an no longer dared to covet the position of the city lord.

The next day, Song Ruoxi's little life did not come as scheduled. It was because of the delay in the injury, so the good doctor asked her to take the pulse and change the prescription, and asked her to continue drinking medicine for good care.

In the afternoon, Song Ruoxi received two letters from Qing, one written by Ji Yun, and the other written by Zhou Siyi. Ji Yun told her two good news in the letter, and the other was Song Lian and Ji Yunxiang passed the autumn examination smoothly; and Song Ruoman and Song Ruoyan got engaged. Ji Yun reported the good news in the letter but did not say that Aunt Liu was crazy, Aunt Xu died, and Song Ruojuan was lame, and only said that everything was fine at home, so she wanted her not to worry about her and live a good life.

Zhou Siyi wrote a lot of letters, and Ye Dongyuan offended Tuo Fun. After Prime Minister Ye made a memorial in the third day, the emperor agreed to his retirement and return home. Ren Wanqiu suddenly had a heart attack on the third day after leaving Beijing and almost died. Shen Ni saved her.

Song Ruoxi stared at the word "Shen Ni" and frowned. Why did the master come to Beijing? Did he go to see her? Unfortunately, she came to Yingcheng and was slack with her. I wonder if the master would come to Yingcheng to see her? The journey was long and the master was old and not suitable for a long journey. She and Master had no more meeting each other. She sighed and continued to look down.

Zuo Taishi's sixth son Zuo Dongnian's legitimate wife died of childbirth. Many people in the city were trying to marry his daughter to him as their second wife. Among them was Song Ruoxi's uncle Song Yi, who wanted to marry Song Ruojie.

The man is a widower, and the woman is a misunderstanding, and she is quite compatible. However, Song Yi has no official position. Is Bai Ding a little delusional if he wants to climb to the Grand Master's Mansion?

Jiang Yan got engaged.

Jiang Yan'er elopes with someone and her whereabouts are unknown.

Finally, Zhou Siyi repeatedly reminded her to write a letter to Heguo in the future and not to break off contact.

Song Ruoxi was willing to contact Zhou Siyi more, but when she thought of Chen Mo, she felt a headache. She sighed for a while and sat next to the desk to write a reply. The letter to Ji Yun was naturally good news but not bad news. It was good everywhere, good father-in-law, good mother-in-law, good husband, good brother and sister-in-law, good brother and sister-in-law. The letter to Zhou Siyi wrote about the customs and customs along the way.

Receiving the letter made Song Ruoxi feel much more comfortable.

On the morning of the seventh day of the lunar month, the county lord of Zhaoping came to visit Song Ruoxi, "Tomorrow is the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, and a grand ceremony is to be held. You were not well-off and you shouldn't have worked so hard. However, this is the first grand ceremony after Shuhua got married with you. Shuhua is outside, and there is no way to get back. You are the legitimate son and daughter-in-law. Tomorrow's grand ceremony will be hard for you."

"Mother, please rest assured, Yu Xian is not seriously injured." Song Ruoxi already knew about the grand ceremony from Ouyang. Since she was already a wife of the Ye family, she did not intend to shirk this responsibility. It was a concern and an attitude that Zhaoping County Lord was able to come here.

In the afternoon, Song Ruoxi was idle and helped peel chestnuts. However, when the silkworm and others were not paying attention, she stuffed the peeled chestnuts into her mouth, just like a child, making Ouyang both funny and annoyed, and said, "The young lady is like the young city lord, so greedy and naughty."

Song Ruoxi chewed the chestnuts and swallowed them, saying, "Chestnuts can nourish the stomach and spleen, nourish the kidneys and tendons, promote blood circulation and stop bleeding. Eating more is good."

"Mrs. I'll eat less raw chestnuts, otherwise I won't be able to eat osmanthus chestnut soup later." said Silkworm.

Song Ruoxi put the raw chestnuts in his hand into a bowl, clapped his hands, "Save your stomach and eat osmanthus chestnut soup."

After dinner, Silkworm, Fancao and Qiaoer were washed rice and beans in the kitchen in the yard. Xiangduo led Qiaotao and two little maids to remove the pits of the red dates, picked the core of the lotus seeds, and picked out the bad ones that looked bad. Ouyang ran back and forth in the large kitchen and the small kitchen. The kitchen was for people in the people in the garden. The Laba porridge in the large kitchen was sent to the temple outside the city for worship tomorrow morning.

Xiangxiu and Qinghe stayed in the room to wait for Song Ruoxi to rest, and also went to the kitchen to help. When the ingredients for cooking the porridge were prepared, they would boil the porridge on a high heat, boil it on a high heat, and then boil it on a low heat. The porridge must be boiled before the fifth day.

Before dawn, Song Ruoxi was awakened by Xiangxiu. After eating Laba porridge, she changed into a red gold-lined piping Baifu wide-sleeved jacket representing her identity. She was tied up with a high bun, and three seven-treasure Ruyi hairpins were inserted on both sides. In the middle of the bun, there were green phoenixes spreading their wings and golden steps, three tassels drooped down, and the water-drop-like ruby ​​fell between her eyebrows. Behind the bun was a red gold-clad ruby ​​butterfly pressed her hair, and a golden silk hanging bead earrings beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads beads be

Song Ruoxi's outfit is rich and solemn, which is very suitable for occasions such as high sacrificial sacrifices. Unfortunately, it is not suitable for her age, and she looks a few years older.

In addition to worshiping ancestors, wax sacrifice also requires offering sacrifices to the god of crops, fields, shack gods, well gods, beast gods, etc. Song Ruoxi was helped by Ouyang and Madam Zhou, so it was not too hard. When it was time for the sacrifice, Ye Fan and Zhaoping County Lord stood in front of the desk. Ye Shuhua was not at home. Ye Xiao'an was followed by Ye Fan, and Song Ruoxi followed Zhaoping County Lord, and Pan Lingjuan was behind her.

Ye Fan was a monarch who was not an emperor. During the sacrifice, he offered a whole cow, sheep, and pig. With the strength of Song Ruoxi, it was impossible for him to hold the sacrificial case with a cow, just like a dairy cow, which weighed dozens of kilograms. The one who carried the sacrifice case was four powerful boys, who only symbolically held the sacrifice case with their hands.

When the sacrificial case moved from Pan Lingjuan's hand to Song Ruoxi's hand, the four boys seemed to have exhausted their strength. The sacrificial case leaned forward and hit the golden bracelet on Song Ruoxi's wrist, making a muffled sound. Song Ruoxi's eyes flew over the ground and swept across the four people with cold eyes. If these people dared to make trouble in the sacrificial case, don't blame her for being cruel. She wanted to learn from Ye Fan to kill the chicken for the monkey to see.

The sacrifice case was successfully handed over from Song Ruoxi to the hands of the Zhaoping County Lord. When the Zhaoping County Lord heard the muffled sound, he was furious and looked at the four people coldly.
