Chapter 447 Cousins

"Come in." Song Qinghuan said, walked to the room with her and stood still, looked at her and asked, "What did you find?"

"The original candidates for the Saintess Ceremony, apart from Ji Ye and Yan Luo, the remaining three are Jiang Rushi, Ji Heng, and Ying Tianshu. Among them, Ji Ye and the lady of the concubine Luo have already met, and Ji Ye is Ji Ye. Shu's son, Yuluo's mother, Yuhuan, is the wife's direct sister, Jiang Rushi is Jiang Linlang's niece, and the remaining two have no special identities."

"Jiang Rushi and Jiheng are women, and Ying Tianshu is a man?" Song Qinghuan asked.

Yu Ge nodded, "Exactly."

"Ji Shu, what did you find?" After thinking for a while, Song Qinghuan spoke again.

Yu Ge hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Song Qinghuan, "I heard that Ji Shu is not married."

Song Qinghuan was slightly taken aback, "Not married? How did Ji Ye get here?"

"I heard that Ji Ye's biological father seems to be unknown, and now he only lives with Ji Shu. However, the Fulan clan is a matriarchal clan, and this situation is not uncommon in the clan."

Song Qinghuan narrowed his eyes, and a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.In matrilineal clan society, women's status is generally higher than men's. Perhaps Ji Ye was born of Ji Shu's one-night stand. After all, if she is such a romantic and enchanting woman, if she is really interested, someone will not be able to control her.

"there's one more thing."

"What?" Song Qinghuan raised his head.

"Yu Luo and Ji Ye are cousins."

Song Qinghuan blinked, and there was interest in his eyes, "How do you say?"

"Yu Luo's father, Ji Yu, and Ji Shu are brother and sister, but... I heard that the relationship between the two is not very good. After Ji Yu married Yan Huan and left Ji's house, the two families have little contact."

"But we can find out why?" Song Qinghuan pursed her lips slightly, her eyes dimmed.

Yu Ge shook her head apologetically, "I've inquired for a long time, but I haven't found any useful information."

"That's all." Song Qinghuan thought for a while, "Don't inquire about this matter yet." Ji Shu has a vigilant temperament, after all, this is in her territory, if she is taught to know, it will inevitably startle the snake.

"Yes." Yu Ge understood her consideration and nodded in agreement.

"Ji Heng or Ying Tianshu, who has more spiritual power?" At this moment, Shen Chuhan's deep voice came from behind.

If Song Qinghuan wants to participate in next month's election for the Holy Maiden, one of the existing candidates will definitely withdraw.Yanluo, Ji Ye, and Jiang Rushi were all inextricably linked to the elders, so they were more likely to stay. I don't know what's so special about the remaining two?
Yuge looked at Shen Chuhan, thought carefully and said, "I heard that Jiheng is only seventeen years old, but he can control the spiritual power in his body to perfection, and there are no shortcomings in the five kinds of spiritual power."

For people with full spiritual power, although they can manipulate the five kinds of spiritual power, there are always things they are good at and things they are not good at. Jiheng has such an ability, which means that no matter where she is, she can learn from the surroundings. Everything absorbs a steady stream of kinetic energy, and has an advantage in fighting.

However, the Saintess Grand Ceremony is not a contest of spiritual power, but is directly decided by the snow lotus in the temple, so it is not certain whether this ability will prevail.

"Where's Ying Tianshu?" Song Qinghuan narrowed her eyes and asked again.

"Ying Tianshu's mother was one of the candidates for the previous saintess, and was originally one of Madam's strong competitors. Although she lost to Madam in the end, Ying Tianshu's spiritual power should not be weak."

Generally speaking, the higher the spiritual power of the parents, the greater the possibility of their children being born with high spiritual power. This is why the children of successive saints and saints will automatically become one of the next candidates.

From this point of view, Ying Tianshu should not be underestimated.I just don't know which of the five elders will decide to remove from the list of candidates?

"That's right. The servant girl also heard that it seems that the spiritual power of Miss Yu is the strongest here."

"Yuluo?" Song Qinghuan raised her eyebrows, slightly surprised, but when she thought of her ability to ride the waves lightly that day, a flash of clarity flashed in her eyes.

Yuhuan and concubine mother are sisters, and concubine mother has high spiritual power, while concubine Yuhuan's spiritual power is not weak, and Yuluo's spiritual power is inherited from her mother, so she must be the best in this generation.

"Okay, I see, you step back first."

After Yu Ge saluted and stepped back, Song Qinghuan looked at Shen Chuhan and smiled, before moving her gaze out of the window.The weather in September is already chilly, and the autumn wind blows the fallen leaves on the ground to the distance, revealing a little bit of loneliness.

*
Because there are only ten days left before the election of the saintess, several elders acted vigorously, and on the second day after they went to Qingya Xiaozhu, they released rumors, saying that the saintess Yuli left the island because of the internal affairs of the clan, but privately communicated with outsiders. Clans combined, violated clan rules, abolished spiritual power, to make a warning to others.

It is also known that Song Qinghuan, the Wuyang emperor who came to the island a few days ago, is the daughter of the saint. According to the family rules, she will participate in the saint's reelection ceremony on the first day of October.

As soon as the news came out, there was an uproar on the island.

Yuli has done a lot of things for the benefit of the Fulan people during the years of being a saint, and she is deeply loved. Therefore, most of the people have no objection to Song Qinghuan's participation in the election of the saint. Obligation, hard work and great merit, should not accept such harsh punishment.

Some people agree with it, and naturally a small group of people oppose it.

Among them, Jiheng, who was excluded from the list of candidates for the saint, is the head.After discussing with several elders, they finally decided to remove her and replace her with Song Qinghuan.Seeing that there was still a chance for the Holy Maiden, but at this time the bamboo basket was empty, she was not reconciled, and instigated her family and friends to try to make things big.

However, several elders have been in power for many years, and they are all people who have experienced great storms. With thunderous wrists, these different voices were quickly suppressed.

In this way, it was a foregone conclusion that Song Qinghuan would participate in the election of the saintess.

Song Qinghuan wanted to see her mother and concubine before the general election, but was rejected by Elder Ying. Xu was also afraid of side effects, so she only asked Song Qinghuan to wait for these ten days at ease. Nv Yuli leaves Crescent Island to reunite with Song Qinghuan.

Seeing that he insisted on refusing, Song Qinghuan had no choice but to temporarily suppress the anxiety in her heart and wait patiently for the election of the saintess.

On this day, she had nothing to do in the mansion, so she called Jun Xi and prepared to go for a walk.Shen Chuhan originally wanted to follow, but because something happened to get in his way, and Song Qinghuan said that she was shopping with two women, Junxi, what was it to ask Shen Chuhan to follow, so he gave up and told Liuyue, Shen Xing and Yuge to have a good life protect.

After leaving Qingya Xiaozhu, I walked to the street.

The people living in Yitongfang are all clansmen with high spiritual power, and they are usually engaged in management duties, so the streets are clean and there are no small vendors.But I heard from Yuge that the further you go to the periphery, the lower the spiritual power of the clansmen, and the more small stalls lined up on both sides of the street.

Although there are many Fulan people on Yuheng Island, the management is quite tight. Generally speaking, according to the difference in spiritual power, everyone performs their duties.For example, the clansmen in the outer lifang mostly engaged in physical labor, and the food or other products they got had to be handed over to the Holy Palace every three months, and the saintess and the five elders of the Holy Palace would distribute them uniformly.

However, according to the previous family rules, the higher the spiritual power, the more various materials were distributed.This caused the strange phenomenon that the clansmen in the outer Lifang worked hard all year round, but finally got very little supplies.

During Yuli's reign, he listened to the opinions of the people and improved the distribution system.The amount of materials that should be handed in is fixed for each household. After the clan members hand in the amount to the Holy Palace, if there is any surplus, they can keep the remaining materials by themselves.

As a result, the development of the barter system was born.

For example, this family has enough rice and grain, but the other family has enough cloth, and the two families can exchange materials to achieve mutual benefit and greatly improve the living standards of the clan members with low spiritual power. He is deeply loved and respected by the people in Lifang, and has great prestige.

Later, when the scale of barter became larger, the system was simply fixed.In Qishuangfang, a piece of land is specially set aside as a market, and the market is held every ten days.On this day, clansmen who have surplus supplies at home will come here from various lifangs to exchange supplies with each other.

When Song Qinghuan learned about this from Yuge, she became interested and took Junxi together to go and have a look.

Although Yuge had never been to Yitongfang before, she had a thorough understanding of the terrain of Yitongfang these days, and led Song Qinghua and others around the streets and alleys with ease, heading for the next Lifang.

Song Qinghuan is bright and charming, and has a strong background. These days, many clansmen in Yitongfang have already known her.Now the news that she has become a candidate for the saintess has spread all over the streets and alleys. Therefore, when everyone saw her today, they all looked sideways.

However, Song Qinghuan had long been used to seeing her, so she didn't take it to heart.

Seeing that they were about to walk out of Yitongfang, a delicate voice came from behind, "Emperor Ji!"

Song Qinghuan narrowed her eyes and pupils calmly, turned around to look, but saw that the person calling her not far away was Yu Luo.

Yanluo is wearing a goose-yellow gauze dress today, with a hollow orchid bead hairpin on her hair, reflecting her smiling face, she looks delicate and lovely.

She walked forward in two steps in three steps, and said with surprise on her face, "I just looked like Di Ji from the back, but I didn't expect it to be so."

Song Qinghuan nodded slightly, "Miss."

Yanluo smiled lightly, her eyes fell on Junxi who was holding hands with Song Qinghuan, and she asked curiously, "This girl is...?" Seeing that she was intimate with Song Qinghuan, she didn't seem to be a maidservant, that's why Yanluo was like this When I asked, I hadn't noticed it before.

Song Qinghuan rolled her eyes, and said with a smile, "This is my sister-in-law Junxi." The elders already knew that she was going to revive Brother Wuhuang, so there was nothing to hide about Junxi's identity.As for whether Yanluo knew about this episode, it was not important to Song Qinghuan.

Sure enough, when she heard this, Yuluo was slightly taken aback, she obviously didn't expect Song Qinghuan's sister-in-law to come to the island.However, she quickly lowered her eyes and suppressed the strange color, and smiled sweetly, "So it's Miss Jun. I don't know where Diji and Miss Jun are going?"

Song Qinghuan lightly hooked the corners of her lips, "I heard that today is the opening day of Qishuangfang Market, we are going to go there to have a look."

"Really?" Yuluo's eyes lit up, "I've always wanted to go to the Qishuangfang Market, but I haven't found the right opportunity. Today I just happened to meet it. I'm fine. I don't know if Di Ji Do you mind if I go and have a look with you?"

"Everyone can go to Qishuangfang, and Miss Yu is the owner of Yuheng Island, so why would we mind?" Song Qinghuan chuckled.

Seeing that Song Qinghuan agreed, Yuluo's smile became brighter and she said cheerfully, "Then let's go."

Song Qinghuan let out a calm "hmm" and continued walking towards Qishuangfang together with her.

"By the way, Di Ji, I've also heard about the recent incident." After walking for a while, Yan Luo looked at her and said.

Song Qinghuan glanced at her lightly, "Miss Miss...?"

"As for Di Ji's background, I didn't expect Di Ji to be my aunt's daughter. So, we are still cousins!" Yu Luo was somewhat elated, and looked at her with phoenix eyes.

Song Qinghuan stared at her with a half-smile, "That's right, Miss Miss is younger than me?"

"I'm seventeen this year." Yu Luo said, very enthusiastically, "Since I'm a cousin, Di Ji don't call me Miss Miss, just call me Ah Luo."

"Okay." Song Qinghuan nodded obediently, "Ah Luo, what is going on with the election of the saint next month?"

Yanluo looked at her tentatively, "What's the matter? Didn't the elders tell you?"

Song Qinghuan shook his head.

Yanluo's eyes turned, but she changed the subject, "Did my cousin know that my aunt is a saint of the Fulan tribe?"

Song Qinghuan lowered her eyes and smiled slightly, "Before this, I was only guessing, and I was not sure until I came to Yuheng Island. Now thinking about it, it's like a dream. By the way, my aunt made a special decision that day Come to Qingya Xiaozhu to see me, if I am free tomorrow, I plan to visit the residence in person."

"My mother also mentioned to me that I wanted to go to Qingya Xiaozhu to see you together tomorrow, but I didn't expect to meet my cousin on the street today, which is considered fate."

"Isn't it?" Song Qing smiled innocently, "I heard that A Luo is also one of the candidates for the saint, so it is really fate."

She looked at Yan Luo, smiled gently and quietly, "A Luo, you grew up on the island and know the situation in the clan better than I do. Do I need to prepare anything for the saintess election next month?"

Yanluo's eyelashes drooped, a dark color flashed in her eyes, she quickly raised her head, her smile remained the same, "Don't worry, cousin, you don't need to prepare anything, when the election of the saint will be directly recognized by Xuelian, we just need to stand There, you don't have to do anything."

Song Qinghuan blinked her long eyelashes, narrowed her eyebrows and said, "A Luo, I also heard that Mr. Ji is also one of the candidates?"

Hearing Ji Ye's name, Yuluo's eyelashes trembled almost invisible, and she quickly smiled, "Yes."

Song Qinghuan said again, with a joking tone, "So...does Ah Luo want to be a saint herself? Or do you want Mr. Ji to become a saint?"

Yan Luo's face froze slightly, and soon she smiled, her eyes were clear, "The Holy Maiden and the Holy Son are both chosen by heaven, and cannot be forced, so no matter who becomes the Holy Son or the Holy Son in the end, it is God's will. No matter what the result is , I can accept it calmly.”

"Ah Luo really can see it." Song Qinghuan said something vaguely, and took the topic away with a smile.

Yuluo smiled mischievously, but didn't answer any more.

After walking for a while, under the leadership of Yan Luo, they soon arrived at Qishuangfang.

There were people coming and going in Qishuangfang, it was really lively.As soon as Song Qinghuan and the others appeared, they immediately attracted the attention of most people.Song Qinghuan looked at it for a while, picked out a few gadgets at random, ran out of excuses, and went back to Yitongfang.

After saying goodbye to Yan Luo, Song Qinghuan and Jun Xi walked slowly towards Qingya Xiaozhu.

"Huan'er, you are a very enthusiastic cousin." Jun Xi watched her speak with a smile, her brows and eyes were full, a little unpredictable.

Song Qinghuan also laughed, and said leisurely, "Yeah, I just don't know if it's true enthusiasm or fake enthusiasm."

Jun Xi said "Oh", "You don't believe her?"

Song Qinghuan turned her head and looked at Junxi, "As soon as I left Qingya Xiaozhu, I met her on the street. It's a long way from Yufu, so why would she appear there? "

Jun Xi's eyes narrowed, "So, it really isn't a coincidence."

"There are no coincidences in this world, but they are all man-made opportunities." She smiled, "Why? Sister-in-law doesn't believe her either?"

Jun Xi murmured thoughtfully, "Last time you said that she and Ji Ye had teamed up to test you. Ji Ye is the son of Elder Ji, so there is nothing wrong with choosing him. But in terms of convenience, Jiang Rushi is Jiang Rushi." The elder's niece should be more suitable. Then, the reason why she was chosen shows that she has something special. If so, she must not be as delicate and naive as she appears on the surface."

Song Qinghuan and Junxi have experienced too much together, and the two have been honest with each other, so even if Yuluo is Song Qinghuan's cousin, she has no scruples at all, and speaks out her concerns.

Song Qing laughed happily, "When I first met my sister-in-law in the Sword Seizing Conference, I felt that you are thoughtful and have a good sense of people. Today is an eye-opener."

Jun Xi glanced at her, "Huan'er, don't make fun of me, I'm not playing tricks in front of you?"

Song Qinghuan took her arm, "Sister-in-law's concerns are very reasonable. I do have doubts about her. She came here today, probably out of temptation. But I don't understand one thing. She seems to be serious. You don’t care much about the position of the saint, so why come here to test it?”

Jun Xi pondered and said, "I think she is really nervous about that Mr. Ji. Since you said Mr. Ji is also one of the candidates, maybe...she came here for her lover?"

Song Qinghuan frowned suspiciously, still puzzled, thought for a moment, and said in relief, "Forget it, I can't think of a reason for it now. Tomorrow, Ashu and I will go to Yufu to see if we can find anything else."

*
The next day, Yufu.

A gentle voice came from somewhere in the backyard, "Husband, it's rare for you to rest today, why don't you... let's go to the beach for a walk?"

The morning sun shines into the room through the window sill, and shines on the two people standing opposite each other in the room.A person with a slender figure, a fair complexion, and an amorous expression between his brows and eyes, is looking up at the man in front of him with a tender look on his face.

As she stretched out her hand to straighten the belt of the man in front of her, she looked up at her excitedly.Although she is in her 30s, she still has a girlish look on her face due to proper maintenance.

This person is Yuhuan.

And the middle-aged man in dark blue brocade robe standing in front of her is her husband, Ji Yule, the father of Yuluo.

Ji Yu is also in his thirties, with a handsome figure, a handsome face, and handsome facial features. It can be seen that he was also a handsome man when he was young.

Hearing Yan Huan's words, he smiled faintly, "Huan'er, didn't A Luo say yesterday that Empress Wuyang would come to visit today? If we go, and she came to see you specially, wouldn't it be a waste of time for her to come?"

Yan Huan lowered her eyebrows and said, "Even if Diji is just talking casually, is it possible that you have to wait for her at home today? You have a rare rest, and you haven't gone out with me for a long time. If Diji really comes, we will Tomorrow, I will go to Qingya Xiaozhu in person."

While speaking, he raised a pair of charming phoenix eyes, and looked at Ji Yu with a resentful expression. He was full of charm, and his long eyelashes were like small brushes, hooking and hooking like they wanted to hook people's souls away.

Ji Yu smiled, and took her hand, "Huan'er, you're being self-willed again. Empress Wuyang has a high status, if she really makes her run away, it's not good to spread the word."

Seeing that Yuhuan was still displeased, he sighed, "How about this, let's wait in the mansion in the morning, no matter whether Di Ji comes today or not, how about I accompany you to the beach for a walk in the afternoon when the sun goes down a bit? "

Only then did Yuhuan smile, and with a twitch of the end of her eyes, she said delicately, "That's more or less the same."

"Let's go." Ji Yu straightened his clothes and took her hand, "Go to the front hall to have breakfast, Ah Luo should have been waiting, so don't keep her waiting."
