Chapter 16 The girl walks with the coffin
The Qingyuan Hou Mansion is located in Zaoshu Hutong. The eldest princess's mansion was next door. Later, the eldest princess moved away, and the big mansion was divided into two. The east and middle roads were given to Zhao Mengyu, the prince's mansion of Long'an. The west road was sold to Mr. Qian Er, the younger brother of Mr. Qian Shilang, the minister of the Ministry of Works, from the 12th Superintendent, and Mr. Qian Er's grandmother was the famous Princess Roujia.
Hua Jingyao is very familiar with Zao Shu Hutong. In her previous life, she lived here until she was ten years old.
The carriage stopped outside Zaoshu Hutong. Hua Jingyao poked his head out and said to Shi Yi who was riding on the horse: "You take it to the front to call the door, and you say you are here to mourn the fifth girl."
She said to Shi Bing and Shi Ding again: "Take Xiao Li with me and go to the back door with me."
There are only two gates in the Qingyuan Marquis’ Mansion.
"Go to the back door?" Shi Yi didn't understand. Could it be that the girl was worried that someone would slip away from the back door?
"Yes, let's go to the back door, don't waste time, act separately, hurry up!" Hua Jingyao said as she came out of the carriage. Before the carriage could put the stool, she had already jumped down.
Xiao Ai's face turned pale when she was scared. If the girl fell, what would it be?
This Zao Shu Alley can accommodate two chariots and walk side by side. Who would have thought that the girl would get off the carriage here?
Xiao Ai made up her mind that the next time she saw the girl lifting the curtain, she would jump down first. Before she could get the stool, she would lie down as a foothold for the girl.
When he saw Hua Jingyao coming out of the carriage, the happiest thing was Hua Xiaoli. He saw his sister again, which was so great!
So he snatched Xiao Ai and Xiao Xia's location and followed Hua Jingyao into the back alley of the alley.
The back alley was not straight. There was a corner where they hid there. From them, they could see the back door of the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion, but the people who came out of the back door could not see them.
When he was a child, Hua Jingyao hid and took a lot of fun here.
Two donkey carts were parked in front of the back door of the Qingyuan Marquis' Mansion. There was not even a tent on the donkey cart, only a straw mat and a roll of dirty and torn old quilt.
This donkey cart looks like something that the Marquis' Mansion should have, but it looks like it is used to pull things in the farm.
The few people had just hidden it, and the back door was suddenly pushed open from the inside. Three strong women came out from the inside. One was empty-handed, and the other two were carrying a small coffin!
Behind these three mothers, there was another mother who was dragging a sack.
The women put the coffin on the first mule cart. The coffin was very small and could be wrapped tightly with the roll of broken quilt.
Another woman threw the bulging sack onto the mule cart behind.
The four mothers clapped their hands, patted their clothes, and even stomped their feet, as if they were to shake them away from the bad luck on their bodies. The mother in charge said a few words to the person who drove the car, turned around and wanted to go back.
At this moment, a figure rushed over and shouted loudly: "No one is allowed to leave!"
The mothers and the two people who drove the car were all shocked and saw that the person who came was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and was a strange boy.
But they quickly saw clearly that there were several people following the boy, one of whom looked familiar.
The leading woman rubbed her eyes, so she was right, was she aware of this? Is this the third girl?
Xiaoli stepped on her long legs and ran to the front of the donkey cart first. She stretched out her hands, hugged the donkey's head tightly, and shouted loudly: "Don't leave, sister won't let you go!"
In the surprise of the women, Shi Bing and Shi Ding followed. Shi Bing kicked one of the chariots and horses aside. Shi Ding picked up the small coffin and placed it gently on the ground.
"Ah, what are you going to do... the third girl?" The mothers had already recognized it. It was really not dazzling. The person who came was the third girl, Miss Hua.
Hua Jingyao looked at the small coffin on the ground, then at the straw mat and broken quilt on the donkey cart, and said coldly: "You are going out in such a hurry to bury my sister?"
She pointed to the sack on another donkey cart: "The sack contains the little girl who died with my sister? She really saves as much as possible, and doesn't even give me a roll of straw mat."
"No, Miss Three, you misunderstood, it's really not..." The head-in-law looked like a rustle and spoke without saying a word. Who would have thought that the third girl in the cloud would appear here?
Hua Jingyao recognized this woman. This was Madam Sun, Madam Cai’s dowry maid, and the most capable maid in front of Madam Cai.
Hua Jingyao pointed at Madam Sun and said to Shi Bing: "Bind her!"
Madam Sun was shocked and hurriedly said, "Miss Three, I can't do it. I am the one around the old lady."
Hua Jingyao smiled and said, "The prince violated the law and the people. You are by the old lady, so I can't tie it up? Band it firmly for me!"
She pointed to the small coffin on the ground and said to Shi Ding: "Hello, don't bump it."
Without saying a word, Shi Ding lifted the small coffin flat. He was born with divine power and held up a small coffin without any effort.
Hua Jingyao looked at the other women, pointed at one of them, and said, "It's you. Put the sack on the back. What I mean is the back. If you dare to drag it to the ground, I will tie you behind the carriage and drag it around the capital!"
The woman was so scared that her face turned pale. Oh my God, didn’t everyone say that this third girl is a fairy-like person and has a good temper like dough?
Why did she see a female star and a female king?
...
The place where Mrs. Cai lives is called Chunhuitang, and old ladies of the Qingyuan Marquis’ Mansion have lived here for generations.
At this time, she was in Chunhui Hall. A little girl came in and said, "Old lady, Shi Yi from the eldest princess's mansion has come. He said that the third girl is still in Guangji Temple now, so he asked him to pay tribute to the fifth girl."
It was Shi Yi who heard that Mrs. Cai's mouth moved, and her tight face relaxed. She said to her niece Cai Bilian, who was sitting at the bottom of the head, "Linlin is dead. I am a white-haired man who is sending a black-haired man. I feel so sad that I don't want to see a man from outside. Let the fourth master go to the reception."
Cai Bilian quickly got up and sent the maid outside to call Mr. Hua Si. As soon as the maid sent it out, another maid came running over. The maid was panting. When she ran to Cai Bilian, she was so panting that she couldn't even speak.
Cai Bilian was unhappy and frowned and said, "There is no rules at all, what kind of decency!"
At this time, the second wife took two maids into the yard. When she heard Cai Bilian scolding the maid, the second wife shook the round fan and said with a smile: "That's right, these maids just have no rules. They all retreat. If you have a cousin here, how can you do your turn?"
As she said that, she didn't enter the house, and actually walked to the corridor, picked a place where the sun was not sunny and ventilated, and sat down from the beauty. The maid quickly opened a small box, and the second wife grabbed a handful of melon seeds from it and started to eat it.
Cai Bilian was stunned and looked at the maid just now. The maid was finally able to speak. She said, "The third girl is carrying the coffin..."
