Chapter 186 Childhood Sweethearts
“Bang, bang, bang…”
"Bang, bang, bang... bang, bang..."
Early in the morning, someone was knocking on the door.
The knocking sounded loudly.
The gatekeeper of Lu Garden opened the door and shouted, "I'm here! Stop knocking."
When I opened the door, I found that the person knocking was not my own door.
There were several yamen runners standing at the door opposite.
Seeing them knocking on the door non-stop, he became very angry and finally opened the door.
The doorman seemed to be still asleep, yawning and asking, "Who are you looking for..."
When he saw that it was a yamen runner, he stopped yawning immediately, closed his mouth, and immediately became alert.
"Tell your master that your old servant Mei Gu jumped off a cliff and died during exile." The yamen runner left after saying this.
When encountering such a thing, they can only notify the host family and don’t even need to collect the body.
It can't be found at all.
When Qi Caiwei heard the news, she cried very sadly.
Jiang Zijin still shed a few tears. As a master and servant, she was very grateful to Mei Gu in her heart.
That's fine.
Aunt Mei is a very insightful person.
After all, the suffering of exile was not something that an old person like her could endure. By going there, all the pain would be over.
Her mother and brother would no longer quarrel over her, worry about her, or have a quarrel with her.
For a servant, it is a blessing for her to be cared for so much by her master.
Mei Gu's body could not be found and she was a servant, so there was no funeral.
Even the closest and most loyal servant is still a servant, and there is a distinction between high and low.
Can't break the rules.
She just had a cenotaph built in the suburbs and some paper money burned.
I copied some scriptures by hand.
She would recite sutras and chant Buddhist scriptures for Mei Gu, praying that she would be reborn in heaven soon.
Jiang Zipei said nothing, holding Mei Gu's belongings, and locked himself in the study day and night, studying hard.
He could eat and drink just fine, but he just didn’t talk to anyone.
Jiang Zijin thought he was just throwing a tantrum, but she didn't expect him to not speak a word to her or her mother for almost half a month.
Apart from eating, sleeping and going to the toilet, he hardly ever leaves the study.
Later, even meals were delivered to the study.
Something is wrong with me...
As the Tongshi exam was approaching, Jiang Zijin suggested going to Qingyun Temple to pray for his younger brother.
She hardly went out for a whole month.
I can't hold it in anymore.
A Niang always forgets that Mei Gu is dead and often calls her name.
After shouting it out, it is inevitable to feel sad for a while.
The next morning, the mother and daughter went out.
Front and back feet.
Jiang Miaomiao and her family also set off for Qingyun Temple.
My mother said she would take us out to relax because the chrysanthemums in Qingyun Temple were in bloom.
Go pray for my brothers and go for an outing to enjoy the flowers.
Jiang Miaomiao is the happiest.
As long as she can go out and have fun, she's happy wherever she goes.
After all, she was also a playful person before she traveled through time.
Temperament is something that is difficult to change, especially once it has been established.
There is no need to change it now.
The whole family went to worship the Three Pure Ones, praying for blessings for the eldest and second brothers to pass the exams.
Taking the exam to become a scholar is the beginning of the road to the imperial examination, which should not be too difficult.
However, since ancient times, there have been many people who had to have a big beard to pass the examination to become a scholar.
Just in case, I still have to say goodbye.
Although she didn't believe these things before and had never even prayed for the college entrance examination, she was now a person whose soul had traveled through time and space, and even if she didn't believe it, she couldn't convince herself.
Everyone here believes in it, even my mother. It seems that they are ready to worship Buddhism, Taoism and other religions.
It is better to believe it exists than to believe it does not.
The road ahead is long and arduous, and we will have to make many visits in the future.
What about the provincial examination, the metropolitan examination, the palace examination...
This is just the beginning.
After paying respects to the ancestors, we took a car to the chrysanthemum forest to enjoy the flowers.
Today, King Jing, Aunt Qianxue, and Jiang Zijin, the three enemies from previous lives are going to meet.
They all came to Qingyun Temple.
King Jing knew that his aunt had gone out, so he followed her happily.
Follow not too far away.
Jiang Miaomiao is a little nervous...
She didn't know if this was the beginning of a tragedy and whether intervention was needed.
"Sister, why do I think the carriage behind us is King Jing's? Should we stop and say hello?" Xiuxiu turned her head and looked back.
A luxurious carriage followed closely behind.
They left, and people left too.
If they stop, others will stop too.
"No, maybe I just like following you like this."
Lu Qingyao and Mu Jiangyue smiled at each other. They both knew why King Jing came.
This guy keeps peeking into Lu Garden every day, thinking others are blind.
Mu Qianxue's face flushed slightly and she turned away shyly.
"Third sister, if you want to see him, I can arrange it for you, or ask someone to come over. It's boring to just face him from a distance." Mu Jiangyue teased her sister.
My sister has always been independent-minded, but she has been too obedient to her grandmother.
She and King Jing were childhood sweethearts. When they were young, they often went to the Queen Mother together. As time went by, they fell in love with each other.
The Queen Mother also intended to pair them up.
But my eldest brother refused to agree.
Mu Qianxue rolled her eyes at her elder sister, covered the little cub's ears and looked at Mu Jiangyue, "Second sister, what nonsense are you talking about in front of the child? You won't teach Miaomiao bad things."
How could a sister instigate her younger sister to meet a man in private?
So embarrassing!
Jiang Miaomiao: ...
Why cover her ears? She wants to listen.
He looked at Mu Qianxue with some surprise.
It seems that my aunt agrees with my aunt and King Jing being together, but isn't my aunt too aggressive?
Wasn’t it the most important thing to keep men and women separate in ancient times?
Sure enough, married women all have a habit of persuading others to get married, and this has been the case since ancient times.
Mu Jiangyue still refused to give up. "I'm just afraid that Big Brother will force you to break up. It's too much for him. He's single himself and won't allow others to fall in love..."
"Second sister, you're getting more and more outrageous. Don't let eldest brother hear you." Mu Qianxue's face immediately turned red and she covered her sister's mouth with her hand.
My second sister is so talkative that she doesn't even have a door.
It was hard to keep her a secret.
Big brother didn't mean to separate them.
It was she herself who didn't want to join the royal family, so she asked her elder brother for help so that the Queen Mother and Prince Jing would give up.
The Queen doesn't like the woman the Queen Mother likes.
If she became the Princess of Jing, concubines would have followed like a stream.
She had no choice but to join the royal family, she didn't want to.
The carriage stopped outside the chrysanthemum garden, and my mother said we were free to move around but not allowed to go too far.
Jiang Miaomiao found a high and best view spot and begged her mother to take her up there.
The mat was laid out, I kicked off my shoes and sat on it, eating snacks and appreciating the flowers.
There were little maids behind them fanning the room and serving tea and water...
It’s so comfortable.
Lu Qingyao felt that the little girl had the tendency to be a spoiled second-generation rich kid.
After Jiang Zijin paid his respects to the Immortal, he took his mother to the Chrysanthemum Garden to relax.
It was true that she worshipped the Immortal for her brother and that she came out to play. It was not good for A'niang to always indulge in the past.
Have to look forward.
From a distance, I saw a man and a woman pulling each other in the flowers.
I don't know how to be more cautious.
