Chapter 193: life for life
Chapter 193 One life for another
Nanny Zhao also has children of her own, so she knows how hard it will be for her to die and be a mother. So looking at the things on the table and the ground, Nanny Zhao both sympathized with Concubine Li and angered her for being confused.
A mother can't forget her child, so she keeps two pieces of children's clothes to remember, and no one will blame her. But she burns paper for her child in such a serious way, how can this make the child feel at ease and reincarnated?
Nanny Zhao pointed to the copper basin full of ashes under the table, "Just set fire in this basin, burn!"
threw the thing in and set it on fire, the old woman also whispered, "She is so blatant, and she is not afraid of being known?"
"Who will come to the aunt's room when he is idle?" Another woman whispered. After burning everything on the table, she asked Nanny Zhao again, "Sister-in-law, are you searching?"
Nanny Zhao nodded, "Keep your hands and feet clean, and don't touch anything you shouldn't be holding. If there is a copper plate missing in the aunt's room, the second master will not spare you!"
The two wives began to rummage through the boxes. Nanny Zhao walked to the bed with a candle, raised her hand to remove Concubine Li's pillow, and lifted the mattress to check. When the mattress was turned up, the pillow was turned over. Nanny Zhao saw that there was a seam under the pillow, and reached out to dig it out, and she really took out something.
When she took it out to see what it was, Nanny Zhao's hand trembled and she almost threw the candle on the bed. After the wax oil flowed onto her hands, it made her scald, and then she recovered and hid the object in her sleeve pocket. After rummaging to make sure there was nothing hidden on the bed, Nanny Zhao called the old lady, "Go to the North Courtyard and call me. Jiang Hou'er, come here."
After Jiang Hou'er came over, Nanny Zhao gave him a sneak peek at the things in her sleeves, Jiang Hou'er was also quite frightened, and whispered, "I'll call someone, and I'll dig three feet into the ground to clean up this place. ."
This matter can't be kept from the second master. Jiang Houer put Jiang Baoxuan, who set off firecrackers in the courtyard, to live. "Go to the north courtyard and ask the second master to come back. Don't disturb the old lady, be quick."
After Jiang Erye came back with a sulphur gas, he saw what Nanny Zhao handed over, Jun Xiu's face was full of anger, "You take someone to the East Courtyard and bring back the two aunts and maids, don't disturb others. ."
"Yes." Nanny Zhao took someone to the East Courtyard and invited Auntie Li and Auntie Xue, who were having tea and watching fireworks, back to the West Courtyard. Li Yiniang really thought it was playing the leaf card, but when she saw the bright lights in the cross-yard where she lived, her heart was half cold, she took Nanny Zhao's arm and said, "Sister Xiuqiao, what's going on? Is it still a burglar?"
Jiang Erye stood in the door and carefully looked at the changes in the expressions of the two concubines and the maids. Xue Hui glanced at it and didn't look at it. The lively peach branch pulled her neck and looked across the courtyard. Li Qiao looked flustered, and the peach leaves were lowered. Couldn't see her face clearly.
So, Jiang Erye ordered, "Miss Li, come in, and I have something to ask you."
If in the past, when I heard that the second master asked her to go to his room, Li Yiniang ran very fast, but now she was nervous and didn't dare to go there. Nanny Zhao gave her a slight push before she stepped forward.
Nanny Zhao stopped Taoye, who was going to follow up, and asked Jiang Houer to take her down. Xue Hui and Taozhi were invited by the two old ladies to rest in the wing room, waiting for the second master to call.
After entering the wing, Taozhi asked one of the old ladies sweetly, "Sister Zhao, what's wrong?"
The old lady naturally didn't say anything, she just asked Concubine Xue to sit and have tea, and then watch the fireworks at the side door. Aunt Xue motioned Taozhi to shut up and stood by and waited.
Concubine Li, who entered the main room, was pounding her heart. She barely stabilized her body and bowed her knees to salute the second master, "The second master calls the slaves back, what are your orders?"
Jiang Erye turned to his side, revealing a palm-sized figure on the table behind him, a paulownia carved with clothes and hair tied, "What is this?"
Li Qiao didn't expect that something that was well hidden would be in the hands of the second master, she knelt on the ground with her legs soft, "Second master, even if you gave the servant a hundred courage, the servant would not dare to harm anyone..."
The impatient Jiang Erye grabbed the teacup on the table and slammed it next to Li Yiniang, "Master asked you what this is, I didn't want you to talk nonsense!"
After serving the second master for so many years, Concubine Li has never seen him lose such a temper. She was frightened, and said quickly, "This is a soul-wrenching victory..."
Sure enough, it is such a sinister thing, Jiang Erye said angrily, "Practicing the art of witchcraft and loathing victory, at least beheading or destroying the family! Who told you to harm my Jiang family!"
Concubine Li kowtowed loudly, "Second Master Mingjian, you just gave one hundred slaves..."
Jiang Erye was in a hurry, "Zhangzui!"
"Yes." Nanny Zhao stepped forward, grabbed Concubine Li's bun and lifted it up, and began to execute the execution. What time is it, she still doesn't tell the truth, does the whole manor die with her!
After slapped more than a dozen times, Jiang Erye stopped and continued to ask, "What is this for, and who gave it to you?"
Concubine Li had followed Jiang Erye since she fought, and even the second lady had not touched her, but now she was beaten by Nanny Zhao, making her ears roar, her heart was cold, and she wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, "The servant just said, this is It's the soul-weary win, and the slave-maid was invited from outside the mansion with a lot of money to conjure the soul of Zi'er. The slave-maid never thought of harming anyone, the slave-maid can't let go of her daughter, and wants to keep her by her side, what's wrong with the slave-maid?"
Jiang Erye frowned and continued to examine, "You are in the mansion every day, how do you know this kind of thing? Who told you, and where did you ask for it?"
Seeing that Concubine Li was silent, Nanny Zhao was angry and asked, "This thing has no name and no characters. Auntie said that it was used to conjure the soul of the fourth girl. Who can believe it!"
Concubine Li immediately said, "Its clothes are what Zier wore when she was a child, and the hair on her head is Zier's fetal hair!"
Jiang Erye wanted to kill her, "When did you bring this thing into the house?"
Auntie Li knelt down and climbed two steps to Erye Jiang's feet, raised her head and looked at him, "Second Master, this servant treats you with sincerity and will never harm you."
Jiang Erye resisted the urge to kick her away, and continued to ask, "You recruit Zi'er's soul to come back to accompany you, what kind of accompaniment?"
A mad smile appeared on Auntie Li's red and swollen face, "As long as the slave girl gets pregnant again, Zi'er can be reincarnated into the slave girl's womb. Second Master, Zi'er is prettier than the sixth girl, she is the most beautiful girl in Quan Kang'an, future…"
Jiang Erye clenched his trembling fists and asked in a steady voice, "I ask you again, who taught you this method?"
"It's Tao Ye who said that the children of the country people died, and that's what they do. Second Master, what the slaves said is true." Concubine Li clenched her snow-white clothes and looked up at Jiang Erye, hoping that he would be able to Understand the truth in your own eyes.
Nanny Zhao was trembling with anger, "Aunt Li, Taoye didn't tell you, if you want the Fourth Girl to be reincarnated again, what else do you have to do other than lock the soul with jealousy?"
Concubine Li's eyes flickered, "...No."
Nanny Zhao plopped down on her knees in front of the second master, and said angrily, "Second master, this sorcerer slave has also been mentioned. With this method, in addition to locking the soul of the deceased child with Yansheng, you have to use the same bloodline as it. The blood of the child of the **** is the guide, and the life is exchanged!"
This method, Nanny Zhao is fake! Besides, who in this world would take the life of one child for the life of another child!
Concubine Li did this because the third and sixth girls, who were of the same blood as the fourth girl, were not born to her! Thinking of Concubine Li holding this thought, Nanny Zhao can't wait to kill her immediately!
Concubine Li didn't expect Nanny Zhao to know so well, so she shook her head in fright, "No, no, slaves don't know! Second Master, slaves really don't know, you just give one hundred slaves..."
Jiang Erye was extremely angry, "Shut up her mouth, I don't want to hear another word from her!"
When Concubine Li's mouth was blocked by Nanny Zhao, Jiang Hou'er also came in, "Second Master, Taoye only said that Concubine Li used paulownia to worship, but I don't know where Concubine Li got it, and I don't know. What are you using it for?"
Auntie Li opened her eyes wide and shook her head.
There are still many things that are not understood here, Jiang Erye did not have the patience to interrogate again, "Put the two of them in the firewood room and send someone to look after them, and then hand them over to the old lady later tomorrow."
"Yes." Jiang Hou'er called into Jiang Bao and took Li Yiniang out.
Thinking of what Li Qiao had done in the room, thinking of what she was thinking, and dressed up to get close to him, Erye Jiang was angry and disgusted.
Nanny Zhao reminded, "Second Master, it's almost time, you should go back to the North Courtyard."
Jiang Erye pointed to the things on the table, "Keep it away, don't let anyone find it."
"Yes." Nanny Zhao knew that this matter was important, and after taking Yansheng away, she asked again, "Xijiayuan..."
"It's burnt." Jiang Erye took a new robe and put it on.
Nanny Zhao didn't understand what the second master meant, "What did the second master say to burn?"
When was approaching, the sound of firecrackers was louder and louder, and the window paper was rattling. Jiang Erye said in a cold voice, "Pour oil on it and set the West Cross Courtyard on fire!"
"Second Master, I'm afraid it will spread to the fire..."
"Burn it, burn it for the Lord! Not a single needle, a tile, or a single grass left!" Jiang Erye suddenly shouted.
"Yes!" Nanny Zhao was so frightened that she hurriedly responded and went out to call someone, set fire to the house, and set fire to the house. In fact, it's okay to burn it, as long as it's all burnt clean, there will be no future troubles.
Jiang Erye strode towards the North Courtyard. When he reached the entrance of the North Courtyard, he patted his face and hung a smile before stepping in.
Seeing the second brother came back, Jiang Song told Dalang, "Light the firecrackers."
The five-hundred-sounding firecrackers rang out, and Erye Jiang walked to his mother's side, following the eldest brother to pay New Year's greetings to his mother.
Mrs. Jiang said a few auspicious words before calling the family up. After the children gave the lucky money and the servants gave the reward money, Mrs. Jiang called her second son in front of her, "What happened? Why did you change your clothes?"
Jiang Erye smiled and shook his head, "It got dirty by accident, so I replaced one."
At this time, the children came to pay New Year's greetings to Jiang Erye. After Jiang Erye handed out the New Year's money one by one, he picked up the little girl and hugged her tightly. Jiang Liu noticed that something was wrong with his father, so he stuffed the New Year's money into his sleeve pocket and said sweetly, "My daughter wishes my father to be nominated for the Golden List and all the best."
Jiang Erye pinched her small face, it doesn't matter if the title of the gold list is not titled, as long as you are safe and sound.
"Why is there a fire in the west!" Jiang Huai looked at the light in the west, and when he took a closer look, he was about to run out after picking up his robe. Jiang Song was also shocked and called someone to check.
Before they ran out of the courtyard, Jiang Hou'er ran in and said, "The guards accidentally set off firecrackers and set fire to a pile of firewood in the west courtyard."
Jiang Erye said, "It's on, and the fire will be more prosperous in the New Year. Send someone to the door to inform the Submarine Fire Army, and say that the fire in our house does not need them to be extinguished."
On New Year's Eve, firecrackers are set off in every house, and the Submarine Fire Army of Wucheng Soldiers and Masi is on duty day and night. Wherever there is a fire, the officers and soldiers on the observation deck will immediately find out and send the Submarine Fire Army to come and draw water to put out the fire.
"Yes." After Jiang Hou'er left, Jiang Song felt that something was wrong, "Second brother, why is the fire in the west courtyard getting higher and higher?"
Jiang Erye said, "Dry wood is a blazing fire, it has to burn for a while. It's okay, mother, go into the house and rest in peace, and go back and have a look."
Mrs. Jiang was getting old, and the vigil had consumed most of her energy, so she was served by the old lady and returned to the room. After Madam Jiang went back to her room and lay down, Madam Liu, Jing Xiu and others, who had been instructed by Nanny Zhao, immediately covered the old Madam's bed with curtains, preventing her from seeing the fire, and not allowing any noise to disturb the old Madam's rest.
After the old lady fell asleep, the rest of the Jiang family looked at the soaring flames and thick smoke and panicked. Jiang Erye whispered a few words to the eldest brother and the third brother, and Jiang Song and Jiang Huai asked their wives to take the children back to the room to rest, and they followed the third brother to the west courtyard.
Jiang Liu, who had been held in his arms by his father, could hear clearly, and his father said that he had the West Cross Courtyard set on fire!
Daddy wanted to burn the West Cross Courtyard, not just because Concubine Li burned incense and sacrificed in the room. What happened? Jiang Liu narrowed his eyes and observed it carefully.
When he walked to the west courtyard, Jiang Liu was afraid when he saw the billowing smoke from the west courtyard and the flames that shot higher than the room. Fortunately, there is no wind tonight. If there is a wind, the fire will spread along the wind. Not to mention the Jiang family, all the neighbors will be burned!
Uncle Hou cheerfully stood in front of the west courtyard gate, and said to Jiang Erye, "Xicheng soldiers and horses and the neighbors all know, they all know that the firewood in our house is on fire, and they won't come to help put out the fire."
How long does Daddy want this fire to burn? What about Auntie Li? Jiang Liu hugged Daddy's neck tightly. Jiang Erye patted the little **** the back soothingly, and then pulled the eldest girl in a high spirit, "It's rare to have a fire, let's get closer and get rid of the bad luck."
After hearing what Jiang Erye said, everyone was stunned.
Jiang Muyan was nervous about her mother's dowry in the warehouse of the East Crossing Courtyard.
"Go, sleep well, the fire won't burn, Dad is here to watch." Jiang Erye put down the little girls and asked them to go back to rest.
The fire looks big, but there is still a certain distance between the West Cross Courtyard and the main room. As long as there is no sudden strong wind, it can't really burn.
Watching his younger sister turn back three steps and being pulled back to East Cross Courtyard by Jiang Muyan, after his father, uncle and third uncle finished talking and left, Jiang Ling stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Father, where's Aunt Li?"
"No more. What you saw in her room, don't mention it again."
The light of the fire made Daddy's face and peach blossom pupils red. Jiang Ling saw his anger and wanted to persuade a few words, but he didn't know how to persuade him, so he stood by his side to accompany him.
Jiang Erye gave his son a sideways look, "Why don't you go back to the house to sleep?"
"It's a little cold, let's cook with my father."
The anger in Jiang Erye's heart was quenched by his son's words, and he no longer wanted to stand here and watch the fire, so he dragged him back to the room to sleep.
The fire in the west courtyard of the Jiang family scorched until dawn, not only disturbing the officers of the Xicheng Bingma Division, but also the Jinghe Emperor in the palace.
Today's plot is relatively compact, two chapters have become one chapter. Tomorrow's update will still be at 6:00 in the morning, please wait a moment.
