Chapter 102 Exploring Jiaojiao's Tone

The Jiang family also has a deep relationship with Master Guangji, and they will also go there when the master passes away.

Master Guangji passed away, and the whole country mourned.Back then, Master Guangji saved the life of the late emperor. On the day of the master's cremation, Emperor Ruiwu would also come, and all the concubines in the palace's empress dowager's temple would go to worship together.Emperor Ruiwu had already ordered Jin Yiwei to guard the place to prevent turmoil.

The cremation of Master Guangji was on the seventh day of September. A few days ago, the people of the capital went up to the mountain to worship.On this day, there are only the royal relatives and the Jiang family.As for the Jiang family, it was because of Emperor Ruiwu's permission that Master Guangji had a close relationship with the fourth daughter of the Jiang family, and that's why the Jiang family was allowed to worship together with the royal family today.

Before dawn, Yuzhu got up and let the maids wait on her in plain clothes.

Everyone in the Jiang family went, the female family members and the men in the mansion went in separate carriages. When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, there were Jin Yiwei and palace guards guarding the surroundings. Today, the people in the city also know that the royal family is coming to give the master a funeral, so naturally they dare not wander around. .

At the foot of the mountain, Yuzhu helped Mrs. Mu get out of the carriage and saw that the guards were heavily guarded. Not far away, Shen Xian was explaining something to the soldiers. When she heard the sound and saw them, her expression became softer. Nodding his head, he called out to the third wife.

Mrs. Mu also hurriedly said hello.

Yuzhu said, Brother Shen.

Shen Xian said, "It's a bit chaotic today. You and the third wife will go up the mountain first, and you can go to the backyard in the mountain to rest. You may also be busy until late, and you won't be able to return home until late. Amei is already waiting in the mountain. Yuzhu can go to find it." She and the other concubine are also on the mountain."

The female members of the Jiang family in the carriage behind also came down one by one. Yulan saw Shen Xian, her eyes lit up, and she hurried towards this side.

Shen Xian's expression darkened a little, he said softly, "You and the third wife go up the mountain first." After finishing speaking, he turned and left.

When Yulan walked over, Shen Xian had already returned to the group of soldiers. She didn't dare to look for a man in front of everyone, so she could only hold back the admiration and excitement in her heart and walked to Yuzhu's side.

Yuzhu glanced at Yulan, but said nothing.

When all the female members of the Jiang family had arrived, they headed up the mountain together.After walking for a while, when we reached the top of the mountain, many people were already there. There was a tall wooden pile in front of the main courtyard outside the temple, on which lay the body of Master Guangji, peaceful and peaceful.Strange to say, although it rained a few days ago, the weather is still a bit hot these days, Master Guangji passed away for seven days, his body did not rot, and there was no peculiar smell.

The Jiang family stepped forward and knelt down on the futon beside them to worship, and then were led into the backyard of the temple by the maids. All the relatives of the emperor came, and the Jiang family was arranged in a wing room. Yuzhu told the Mu family and the others, "Mother, I'll go to see the empress dowager."

The weather was hot these few months, she hadn't been to the imperial temple to see the concubine for more than a month, and she missed it a little, the concubine also came from the imperial temple today.

A maid in the palace led Yuzhu to see the empress dowager.Ever since the incident happened in the palace, the Mu clan has never let Yuzhu be short of people, this time he also let Licorice accompany her, and naturally Licorice accompanied her to see the concubine.

After Yuzhu left, Yulan also said softly to Tao, "Mom, I want to go out and have a look too."

Dow said, "Yuzhu is going to find the concubine and concubine to reminisce about the old days. What are you doing out there? The concubines and empress dowagers next door are all nobles. Besides, today is the day of Master Guangji's cremation. Don't go out and run around What, and take it well in the room, maybe there is something else to do in a while."

Yulan frowned slightly, but she didn't dare to surrender her dissatisfied eyes to Tao Shi, she just lowered her head and said, "What mother said is true."

After a short while, Yulan sneaked out while everyone was not paying attention.She also had no choice, ever since Shen Xian sent her the last letter, Shen Xian didn't give her the slightest response, and Dow was busy helping her choose a family, and it seemed that she planned to pick one of them. Hearing Dow's tone, he would come to the door in a few days Said dear, she was thinking of some way, she was afraid that there would really be no chance in this life.

Yuzhu led the licorice and went with the maid to a side room opposite, knocked on the door, the concubine answered, Yuzhu pushed the door and entered, went in and saw the concubine sitting on her in plain clothes, she was kind when she saw her He beckoned, "Come here quickly."

Licorice closed the door and waited outside.

Yuzhu enters the room and sits down next to the concubine, and she warms up. The concubine is getting older, and when Yuzhu is by her side, she is not too big, and she always has some minor problems.After returning to the Jiang family, Yuzhu always remembered that every time she went to the temple, she would bring some medicinal herbs for the concubine.

The concubine smiled and said, "I'm so old, I don't know how many years I can live. But you girl, I've heard about your stay in the palace. That palace is not a good place. You should go there less in the future. There are a lot of wolves, tigers and leopards in it. Besides, I heard that the third prince likes you. Not much else to say, Concubine Mu and the third prince are people who will not give up until they achieve their goals. I have to let it go, since the Third Prince wants to marry you, if it didn't work last time, I'm afraid there will be other ways."

Yuzhu looked at the concubine in a daze. It was the first time she heard her talk about things in the palace. When it came to concubine Mu Gui and the third prince, the concubine probably had a very bad impression of them.

The concubine held Yuzhu's hand and continued, "I don't like Concubine Mu Gui. The emperor was bewildered by her and never listened to my opinion. I could only be secretly angry if I stayed in the palace. Yuzhu also knew that the emperor was with me. Although I am his biological mother, I have no support for him. Instead of staying in the palace and persuading him to be rejected by him, it is better to stay away. However, the emperor still listens to me. With words, he will not be able to decide for you about your marriage, and naturally he will not give you a marriage. This is not a long-term solution. If the third prince really wants to marry you, there are many ways. According to my opinion, you might as well go ahead Decide on the marriage, and we will get married in the spring of next year, and you will be sixteen at that time, so you are not too young, so it is suitable for you to get married."

Yuzhu never thought that it turned out that the reason why the emperor rejected the third prince's marriage was because of the concubine, she said, "Miss the concubine, Jiaojiao is here to thank you."

She didn't think too much about the marriage, but if it's really like what the concubine said, if the third prince Mu Guifei plotted against her, it would be better to settle the marriage earlier.

The concubine sighed, "If it's possible, I don't want you to get married too early. The [-]th marriage of the girl's family is just right."

Yuzhu was talking to the concubine, and Yulan sneaked out of the room and went out through the small door in the backyard. The backyard leads directly to the back mountain, and there are guards around. Seeing her slipping out of a girl's house, a guard frowned Come and ask, "Who is here, don't you know that today you are not allowed to wander around at will?"

Only the royal family and the Jiang family came here today, and the guard didn't dare to offend too much, he only asked with words and didn't dare to push.

Yulan asked softly, "Master, please, I went out to ask where Master Shen is? I have something to say to Master Shen."

The guard asked, "Who are you? Why do you want to see Mr. Shen?"

Wherever Yulan dared to say anything, she said, "It's natural that I have something important to report to Mr. Shen."

The guard was also upright, and when he wanted to ask for clarification, another member of Jin Yiwei came over and said, "I know her, she is a girl from the Jiang family, there should be some urgent matter to find Mr. Shen. I just looked at Mr. Shen I went to the tent on the left, why don't you ask?"

"Thank you, my lord." Yulan thanked happily.

There were so many people coming today, the rooms in the backyard were naturally not enough to live in, so Shen Xian and some other princes set up a tent on the open space on the left side of the back mountain.When Yulan passed by, there was no one there, only a girl who looked like a maid hurried past and accidentally bumped into her.

Yulan frowned, rubbed her shoulders and called out to the servant girl, "Have you ever met Mr. Shen?"

The maidservant said, "My maidservant just saw Master Shen go down the mountain again."

Yulan sighed in disappointment, there were so many guards down the mountain, of course she couldn't chase down the mountain, so she had to go back to the wing room in the backyard of the temple first.

When she went back, Yuzhu had already come back, Tao Shi asked her a few words, Yulan said to go to the toilet, Tao Shi didn't care.

After noon, everyone went to the front yard of the temple to funeral Master Guangji.Before his death, Master Guangji ordered that his body should only be cremated. Everyone saw that the master's body was slightly ashes, and the remaining dozens of relics were picked up by the temple monks and enshrined in the temple.

When the fire was burning, Yuzhu caressed the Buddhist beads given to her by Master Guangji on her wrist. She had mixed feelings in her heart. She couldn't tell what it was like. She would cherish this hard-won life and family affection even more when the lamp was extinguished.

After going down the mountain, Shen Xian lined up someone to escort the Jiang family back to their residence. When they returned to the Jiang residence, it was already dark, and the Jiang family went to bed after washing up.

A few days passed in a flash, Yuzhu remembered what the concubine on the mountain had said to her, and found Mrs. Mu and told her about it. Mrs. Mu hesitated for a while before asking Yuzhu, "I can't find a suitable person in such a hurry. What does Yuzhu like?" How about it? If you don’t want to talk to my mother, my mother will help you choose a few houses to look at.”

Dali Temple is busy these days, Jiang Ansu did not tell Xie Che about his relationship with Yuzhu.Seeing that her husband was busy, Mrs. Mu didn't want to disturb her, so she had to delay the matter.Now hearing what her daughter said, she lost her mind. Xie Che was raised by her and her husband since she was a child. She is handsome and well-behaved. She is still so young and promising. Everyone is very happy.Although he grew up in Jiang's family, he is not a surname, and outsiders know that he treated Yuzhu very pampered since he was a child.

What the concubine concubine said was also very correct. Whether you look at it now or choose slowly, Xie Che is actually an excellent candidate.

Mrs. Mu also began to hesitate.

Yuzhu nodded and said, "I don't know what kind of people I like. Why don't my mother help me choose some suitable families first." No wonder she thought so, the times are different, and in ancient times, I didn't see many foreign men, so it is impossible to be the same. In modern times, after confirming the relationship, they get along for a period of time.In ancient times, looking for a husband can only be done by looking for character, appearance, and family background, all of which are suitable for getting along with each other after marriage. There are also some childhood sweethearts like A Mei and Chu Yunwei, but they are very rare.

When Jiang Ansu came back in the evening, when the two returned to their room to rest, Mrs. Mu told him about the matter. Jiang Ansu thought for a while and said, "I didn't know how to tell you before. You told me that Ah Che and Jiao I thought about Jiao's matter for several days, but I felt that Ah Che was a good candidate. He has a good character, and we watched him grow up, and the family is far away. In the future, he will set up his own family in the capital. There is no mother-in-law, but we are taking care of it, this marriage is very good. Outsiders may gossip, but the two are not related by blood, if it is a childhood sweetheart, it is still a good story."

Mrs. Mu hesitated, but also moved.

Jiang Ansu said, "I know your heart knot, you treat Ah Che as a son, but they are not brother and sister after all, they grew up, both of them knew it well, and it was under such circumstances that Ah Che gradually fell in love with him. Gorgeous."

Mrs. Mu murmured, "I'm afraid that Jiao Jiao won't be able to change her mind. She knew about A Che since she was a child, but she treats him like her own brother."

Jiang Ansu was silent for a moment, "Why don't you explore Jiaojiao's tone some other day, if you can, Ah Che is indeed the most suitable for Jiaojiao."

"That's good too." Mrs. Mu said softly.

Yuzhu naturally didn't know that her parents would find a good candidate for her, but after listening to the concubine's words, she never went out these days, and stayed at home obediently.

One day, Yulan came to look for Yuzhu, and said she was inviting her to go out together. Yuzhu was lazily leaning on the couch reading a book, and asked Yulan, "Third sister, where are you going?"

Yulan smiled and said, "Go to Shangjie Hutong. I heard that there is a troupe that sings well. I just want to go to Linglong Pavilion to find a better piece of jade to make a jade pendant. I don't know the jade pendant I was wearing a while ago. Where did it fall?" She inquired about it from others, and when she learned that Shen Xian often went to a shop in Shangjie Hutong, she wanted to try her luck. I want to find Yuzhu to go with me.And what she said about the loss of the jade pendant was also true. She had worn the jade pendant for seven or eight years, and she was a little flustered when she suddenly disappeared.

Yuzhu said, "I'm not feeling well today, so I won't go with Third Sister."

Bai Shao on the side nodded hurriedly when she heard the words, "My girl is having her period, so she can't go out."

Yulan could only go alone, and did not return until Shen Shi.

Half a month later, Tao Shi finally settled on Yulan's marriage, and only after informing Yulan, he went to the door to say marriage. Tao Shi was worried about Yulan. He is very promising. He passed the Jinshi examination a few years ago, and now he is still in the Imperial Academy. He will be promoted after a few years.

This family is not rich, Tao also prepared a lot of dowry for Yulan, she won't have to live a hard life when she gets married, she is considered a low marriage, and her parents-in-law will not embarrass her, no matter how you think about it, it is a good marriage.

Before Tao could talk to Yulan, someone suddenly came to propose marriage to Yulan the next day, holding Yulan's personal jade pendant and a letter to the man.
