Chapter 265 Sacrifice!
Inherited the title of Prince Zhuang and controlled the military power of the Yuan family...

The northwest is Qin Murong's retreat!
"Master..." Wanting to understand the joints, Ye Yunshui suddenly felt uneasy, and his voice trembled slightly.

Qin Murong analyzed the court situation with her in such detail today, and said a lot to her, is this a good thing or a bad thing for her?
Qin Murong patted her on the head, "It's not that simple."

Ye Yunshui sighed and smiled wryly. She did take it for granted. Seeing through his ambition, she raised her lax heart again...

"I don't know which lady is chosen for the marriage?" Ye Yunshui couldn't help asking, this time they brought a lady from the next generation, the oldest one was the eldest daughter of the cousin's family, who was only ten years old this year.

Qin Murong shook his head, "The one who didn't come is the youngest cousin of the second aunt's family. She is the best in appearance, and she looks very much like my mother and concubine."

"The third uncle's wife's natal family can't help?" Ye Yunshui asked unwillingly. The third uncle's father was a former minister of military guards and guards, and he was an important minister in the court.

Qin Murong sneered shamelessly, "That's a stubborn old man."

Does this mean that the veteran in the army agreed with Emperor Ming Qi's taking over the military power?This kind of courtier who is wholeheartedly loyal to the emperor's order is the most difficult thing to deal with. Ye Yunshui, a foolish and loyal person who immediately sacrificed his head when the king wants his minister to die, is the most shameless, and her modern soul has no concept of being loyal to the emperor's order.

It seems that the Yuan family had no choice but to find Qin Murong's nephew... Thinking of the day from meeting the two uncles and wives, to the words and deeds of the two uncles, Ye Yunshui felt that the word love was like the clouds in the sky that day, A little breeze blows it away...everything is an appearance.

"What is your plan now?" Ye Yunshui figured out the twists and turns, so he wanted to ask Qin Murong what he meant, so that she could cooperate with him.

"The only way to choose another husband and son-in-law for the Yuan family is to be reliable and well-qualified. This candidate is hard to find." Qin Murong sighed, "There is no rush in advance, and it will not be done in a short while. .”

Ye Yunshui's heart suddenly felt a strong uneasiness, her hand touched her swollen belly unconsciously...

In the early morning of the second day, Manager Hu sent two dowry lists, one in the hands of the uncle and the other in the palace. There were more than 200 items listed in error, most of which were jewelry, gold, etc. Silver noodles, antique jade rewards, etc., but more than the list in the uncle's hand, most of them are cloth and silk satins, and the quantity is still quite a lot. It should be the rewards from the queen mother and queen when the princess was alive.

Ye Yunshui took the list and didn't gossip, but asked Hua'er to serve tea for Mr. Hu, asked a few words about the arrangement of his uncle and wife, and served tea to see off the guests.

Manager Hu seemed to have been waiting for Ye Yunshui to ask about the list, seeing that she hadn't mentioned a word, her face was a little surprised, and she hesitated before leaving, as if she had something to say, but Ye Yunshui didn't give it to him. At this opportunity, he took Hua'er's hand and went back to the bedroom.

What's the use of listening to those high-sounding reasons?There are more than 200 things missing, even though Manager Hu is full of mouths, he can't tell. Ye Yunshui doesn't want to have too much interaction with Manager Hu. Qin Murong has already told him not to get entangled in this matter, and she is too lazy to think about it.

In the afternoon, Ye Yunshui just woke up from his afternoon nap when he heard the rumors from the maids in the yard that the fourth lady had come.

Ye Yunshui knew that the Xia family must have come to ask the princess about the dowry.

Xia Shi entered the door, sent all the maids out, and opened her mouth to say: "Sister-in-law, have you seen those two lists?"

Ye Yunshui nodded, "Look, there are probably more than 200 items missing."

Mrs. Xia twisted the handkerchief, and said angrily: "It's too damned, it's so bad! What's left is some worthless cotton satin, and there's only a piece of cloud silk. Isn't this a joke? Who doesn't know that when the princess was alive, How much is the Empress Dowager thinking? There are only a few rewards left after the rewards!"

Ye Yunshui just smiled and said nothing, but Xia Shi said: "Fourth Master sent me here to ask for an idea."

"Let's put this matter aside for now, so as not to be caught by those who have nothing to say. Five days later, the concubine will have a grand ceremony. At this time, arguing at this time is not good for the son and the fourth master." Ye Yunshui knew that the Xia family was pretending. Qin Mujin came to ask under the banner of Qin Murong, because it should be said that Qin Murong and Qin Mujin should have made an appointment yesterday. Obviously, Qin Mujin did not tell Xia Shi that the princess's shop and Zhuangzi had already entered Qin Murong's hands.

Xia's face was a bit unwilling, but she was a coward, and Ye Yunshui didn't dare to make a mistake after bluffing, "Is this what the son of the world means?"

Ye Yunshui nodded, "This is what I left behind when I left in the morning."

The Xia family did not dare to disobey Qin Murong's order, "Then I will obey the son and sister-in-law, and we will talk about it after the concubine's sacrifice."

Ye Yunshui knocked on Mrs. Xia sentence by sentence, keeping some distance from the two uncles and wives. Although Mrs. Xia nodded in response, she seemed absent-minded. Ye Yunshui knew that she was thinking about that little thing. No matter how relaxed the government is, life is indeed difficult.

But Ye Yunshui couldn't point it out at this time, some things had to be figured out for Qin Mujin, so he had better talk to Xia Shi by himself.

Qin Murong and Qin Mujin didn't react after getting the two lists. The third uncle even came to Ye Yunshui to ask about it once. Ye Yunshui pushed Qin Murong directly, claiming that she was not feeling well, and the son didn't need her to worry about it.

The third uncle and wife left in embarrassment. Since the second day, the two uncles and two uncles and wives of the Yuan family have left early and returned late in the past few days. At the invitation of various mansions, I went to visit as guests, and the two uncles and wives were also busy running among the various mansions without stopping.

Hua'er looked back at the expression on the third uncle's wife's face after her return today, "...I heard that she got angry after going back to her mother's house, and cursed people a lot in the yard."

Ye Yunshui smiled inwardly. It seemed that they were looking for another way. Apparently, the third uncle's wife was pushed back, "Don't watch too carefully, as if we are guarding against others."

Hua'er nodded, "However, the third uncle's wife goes to the fourth lady's place these two days, and this servant is a little worried."

"...If the fourth lady comes over, tell me that I'm asleep." The third uncle's wife just urged her to get back the dowry money, and then wanted Mrs. Xia to come to her to blow the wind, but Mrs. Xia's ears are soft. It must be tempting!

Ye Yunshui deliberated for a while, and decided to let Xia family hang out, even if she beat her, it should be Qin Mujin's business...

On the eighth day of August, the day of the princess's great sacrifice, Ye Yunshui had already got up before dawn, and practiced lighting the long flame candle for the last time. The candle with a thick wrist was lit for three days without sleep, which was also a test for Ye Yunshui.Qin Murong had people prepare pillows and thick sheepskin mattresses to take to the sacrificial hall, and Ye Yunshui could lie there and squint for a while when no one was around at night.

Qin Murong saw that she was still practicing earnestly while she was dressed in formal attire, and he couldn't help telling: "If you're sleepy, just lean on the side and sleep. You are pregnant now, and no one will pick on you."

Ye Yunshui nodded, "Don't you accompany the concubine?"

"My fourth brother and I have to receive guests during the day, and we will also guard the sacrificial hall at night." Qin Murong patted her on the head, "Three days is not short, you should be careful."

After the two of them had breakfast, the sedan chair to pick them up at the door had already arrived!
The sacrificial hall was set up in the palace, but because it was a big sacrifice, the whole palace was dressed in plain white clothes. The patriarch of the clan, Prince Rui, the uncle of Emperor Ming Qi, was invited to preside over the ceremony. There was an endless stream of people, and two huge bronze incense burners were placed at the entrance of the sacrificial hall for the guests to burn incense and worship.

The first to pay homage were the direct relatives. Behind Prince Zhuang were Qin Murong and Qin Mujin, then Qin Muyun and Qin Mufang and a group of concubines, and then Wang Concubine, Feng Concubine and a group of female relatives.The eldest uncle and other relatives of the family stood behind, and when they looked at it, they could only see the darkness. This was the first time Ye Yunshui saw this scene.

Ye Yunshui was supposed to stand among the female relatives, but because she was in charge of lighting the candles, she was already standing by the altar, holding a joss stick to light it up, and she had to keep the candles alive for three days, otherwise she would be regarded as Unlucky.

Prince Rui held the sacrificial speech and said slowly, Prince Zhuang and all his descendants and relatives had to kneel down and listen to it. It took half an hour to finish reading the sacrificial speech. The maids quickly raised their heads.

Ye Yunshui rejoiced in her heart, fortunately, she got an errand for an ever-burning candle, so she could get up and look at the candle under the lampshade from time to time, otherwise she would be useless if she knelt like that for half an hour!
After the sacrificial speech is finished, the Buddhist scriptures invited from Jing'an Temple will be held for a total of 49 days. On the other side, guests will come to offer sacrifices. Qin Murong and Qin Mujin will pay their respects at the side. The open fire candle was moved into the Buddhist hall and looked after by a special servant girl. Ye Yunshui finally finished his errand.

For these three days, Ye Yunshui will live in this sacrificial hall. Fortunately, Qin Murong and his brothers are also there, otherwise she would feel a little uneasy by herself.

After the whole day of worship, Ye Yunshui was also tired and leaned against the pillars of the sacrificial hall, not wanting to move. Fortunately, Qin Murong ordered in advance to bring a thick sheepskin mattress. Although it was the eighth day of August, the bluestone brick floor The interior of the sacrificial hall was a little colder than the outside, Hua'er handed Ye Yunshui a cloak to cover, Ye Yunshui was a little drowsy, so he had to tell Hua'er: "Help me keep an eye on it, and call me when the candle is about to burn out." stand up."

Hua'er nodded in response, staring at the altar without blinking.

About half an hour later, Ye Yunshui sensed someone coming in. The voice should be Qin Mujin and Qin Mujin seeing off the guests. She wanted to open her eyes and say a few words, but for some reason, she just couldn't open them. She couldn't open her mouth even if she wanted to speak, even though she listened to Qin Murong calling Yunshui in her ear...
