Chapter 98: The Water Implemented
Jiang Xun came over and instructed Jiang Yishi a few words and followed a group of people, and King Wen even called him into his car.
Jiang Yishi and Shui Ling were accompanied by Wang Fu to pick up the car from the consignment shop.
Cai Yunqing took a few steps forward and called out to Jiang Yishi, she already knew that the Duke Jiang who caught the arsonist was this girl’s brother.
She curtsied and said, ”If it wasn’t for young Mr. Jiang’s righteousness, not only would our troupe be finished, I don’t know how many more people would have died. Miss Jiang must not have had a good time listening to the opera today, if you’re willing, I’ll sing two of my best operas for you.”
Her voice was melodious, and her movements were as graceful as on the stage.
Jiang Yishi laughed, “The elders are waiting for me at home, let’s do it some other time.”
Caiyun Qing said, “No matter when, even if I don’t appear on stage anymore, as long as Miss Jiang wants to listen, I’ll sing for you.”
An older man in the troupe went up to Jiang Yishi and bowed, bowed and smiled, “My troupe master said, from now on, as long as it’s little Mr. Jiang, that brother Jiang, and Miss Jiang and the girl beside her and the little brother, if you come to the troupe to listen to the opera, you won’t get a penny, and you’ll also have your own tea and snacks to offer.”
Shui Ling and Wang Fu were overjoyed and said thanks. The lanterns on both sides of the road had already been lit up, and there were more pedestrians on the street, all of whom wore happy faces.
The carriage traveled very slowly.
Jiang Yishi removed her rosary and turned it in her hand. Buddha blessed, she really saved so many people ……
Shui Ling was still thinking about Guan Caiyun Qing’s words giggling, “Miss, go listen to Caiyun Qing’s opera some other day and let her sing alone.”
Jiang Yishi glanced at the naive girl. She said, “Make it clear to Jiang Da, you can go to the Double Red Joy troupe to watch others sing, but you can’t let Cai Yunqing sing for him. King Wen may already have his eye on Cai Yunqing.”
Shui Ling let out an “oh”. If King Wen’s future woman sang for him alone, that would be looking for death. She looked adoringly at Jiang Yishi again, her own girl is smart.
Back home is already twilight, the sky only the last trace of golden light.
The wind is still very strong, blowing the dead branches rattling, the lantern in front of the house fluttering in the wind.
Jiang Yishi hurried back to the courtyard to change her clothes, combed her hair and came to Ruyi Hall.
The old madam and uncle Jiang’s faces were so gloomy that they could twist water out of them. Jiang YiYan’s eyes were full of excitement, waiting for Jiang YiShi to be scolded or punished.
The old lady gasped, ”It’s New Year’s Eve, and you still have a family waiting for you to return home for dinner. Jiang Xun, wild outside not come back?”
Jiang Yishi said, “Xun’s son has gone to the government office in Beijing to testify.”
These words startled the crowd.
“What happened?”
“Jiang Xun got into trouble again?”
Jiang Yishi red-faced told of his curiosity, pulling Jiang Xun to the theater ……
The crowd was first surprised that Jiang Yixi was so bold that she dared to dress up as a man to go to the theater and also dared to say it in public. Many noblewomen will dress up as men to go to the theater, but this is private, no one will be stupid enough to say it in front of their elders in a big way, unless the elders are particularly enlightened.
Later, I heard that someone had deliberately set a fire, but Jiang Xun and Jiang Da caught them on the spot and prevented the fire from happening. Watching the theater and the king of Wen and his daughter Li Jiao, many family officials relatives ……
The crowd is even more curious. Can’t be bothered to catch Jiang Yishi’s fault, let her tell it again carefully.
Completely clear the situation, the third master stroked his beard and laughed, “Xun child this time can be said to have made a great achievement. Today’s weather is abnormal, the theater and other houses in a piece, once the fire to simply can not save, I do not know how many houses to be burned, burned to death how many people. And then burn …… hurt a prince and county, how many people to bad luck.”
He almost misspoke, busy “burned to death” changed to “burned.”
Uncle Jiang burst out laughing, “Xun’er is getting better and better. With the King of Wen and the county princess in the theater, and today being the Lantern Festival, this will definitely reach the saint.”
The old lady thought more. Ever since Lao Er had given Jiang Yishi a dream last year, this girl had had a streak of good luck. Getting to know County Princess Zhenbao and Prince Yong, getting the appreciation of the Meng family’s grandparents and grandchildren and hiring Meng Zhimo as a daughter-in-law, getting the rosary beads …… of Master Yu He, and even sneaking off to watch a play, all of which allowed Jiang Xun to make such a great achievement, saving the County Princess of Wen Wang and the official’s family members.
Can’t it be that it’s really the oldest two in heaven that is blessing her?
Thinking that Lao Er was always watching over her daughter in heaven, the old lady’s heart trembled.
She smiled and greeted Jiang Yishi over, letting her sit beside her and talk more carefully, without a word of blame for Jiang Yishi going to the theater privately.
Tomato
Jiang Yirou was also very interested, asking what the little princess looked like, and what kind of clothes the Huang Langzhong family’s daughter wore ……
Jiang Jin was so excited that he stood up and sat down again, sat down and stood up again. If the fire burns Caiyun Qing to death or burns, then it is really heaven’s jealousy of the red face.
Great Grandma Jiang knew what he was thinking and her face went cold.
After the meal, Uncle Jiang and Third Master Jiang went to the outer study to wait for Jiang Xun.
Jiang Xun came back at the end of the eleventh hour, and was sent back directly by the carriage from the government office in Jingzhao.
As soon as he entered, he was invited to the outer study.
The next day before dawn, Jiang Yishi woke up to stew vegetarian medicinal food. A big pot of stew was made, two pots for Jiang Da to give to Li Zhenbao and Meng Jiaotong, one pot for the old lady, one pot for each of the big house and the third house, and Jiang Xun came to Scorch Courtyard to eat it as well.
In addition to the pot of the big house, all the medicinal meals are added to the processed material.
In the morning, the Duke of Cheng Guo Mansion suddenly came a granny, said Meng Elder Taijun heard that Jiang Yishi dressed up as a man to go to the theater very angry, please Jiang in-laws strict control, and then let Jiang Yishi at home to copy the “Women’s Precepts” five times.
Needless to say, this must be the eldest Mrs. Meng’s urging.
Copied on copy, Jiang Yishi does not matter. Waiting for Mrs. Meng to jump, it is better to jump higher, the tail of the fox is easy to reveal.
Jiang old lady but as a big deal, Jiang Yishi called to the intention to reprimand a few sentences, so that she should be chaste and virtuous, not to make the in-laws dislike. Mrs. Jiang is more like an imperial decree, specially sent a granny to the burning courtyard to reprimand Jiang Yishi.
Two days later, the eucalyptus was realized. It was the owner of the Qingfu troupe who was jealous that the Hongshuangxi troupe was stealing their customers and money, so he had someone bribe one of the qin masters of the Shuangshuangxi troupe to set fire to the place. He thought that the fire would be quickly controlled in broad daylight, and the people watching the theater would be scared away. I didn’t realize that the fire hadn’t burned up yet, and the people were caught.
The people of Beijing Zhaowu had seen the place where the fire was lit and the oil was spread, and they were all in a state of fear. On that day, the sky was dry, the wind was extremely windy, if no one found in time to let these places burn at the same time, simply can not save. Moreover, that day is the Lantern Festival in the morning, more lanterns, more pedestrians, walking water affected more than just Luofu Street.
The Five Cities Military Department was also fearful for a while. If a fire broke out, they would be the first to be blamed.
The people of the theater and the nearby merchants are of course even more afraid.
The Emperor was also afraid. If there was a major fire on the 15th day of the New Year, and more people died, even his own stupid son and granddaughter were burned to death, there might be people who thought that the Son of Heaven was unkind and led to the wrath of the heavens. ……
