Shui Ling responded obediently, "Okay."

Shui Zheran asked: "Let me stay. Can you do it alone?"

Shui Ling thought for a moment, "It's okay to stay, but you can't be afraid."

"What are you afraid of? We haven't seen anything along the way. If we hadn't walked in a hurry, I would have stewed those turtles carrying paper figures." Shui Zheran said nonchalantly.

Shui Ling, "..." Fortunately, I released all the turtles into the pond before I left, otherwise my father would have eaten them.

"Okay, then you can find a place to camp, not a house."

"Oh." Shui Zheran went to see Su Qin and the others off and waited for a while before coming back.

When he came back, he saw Shui Ling making a hammock with ropes. He asked, "Isn't there a rocking chair? If you're camping, just use that one."

Shui Ling replied calmly: "I don't want to be close to the ground."

Shui Zheran thought for a moment, then silently tied a rope to a nearby tree to make a hammock.

At noon, Gong Qianyu carried a food box and led a group of people to the house.

Shui Ling saw him and asked, "Why are there so many people?"

Gong Qianyu smiled, "Your future mother-in-law is afraid that you will be tired, so she will let the maids and women do the cleaning. Let's eat first."

Shui Ling nodded and pointed to the clean table next to her: "Put it there."

Shui Zheran asked: "Is your mother okay?"

Gong Qianyu nodded, "Very good, it's just that the emperor stayed in the palace for a few days."

"Oh..." Shui Ling's voice sounded loud and clear. She already had a faint feeling that this little emperor was not so friendly.

Gong Qianyu was a little embarrassed, "Let's eat first, and then where will you clean up?"

Shuiling waved her hand, "Let them go back first."

"What's wrong? If you don't like my family, then I'll buy some new ones?" Gong Qianyu asked nervously.

Shui Ling shook her head, "It's not a peaceful night, and I don't know how long it will take to send them away, so I'd better stop cleaning them now."

Gong Qianyu understood instantly, waved his hand and said, "Go back and tell my mother that this house needs to be cleaned up."

"Yes!" Grandma left with the maids.

The three of them sat down to eat.

Shui Ling looked up. From this position, she could only see two dragon tails in the sky. She sighed, when will there be any news about the two dragons' struggle for supremacy?

After the three of them had eaten and drank enough, Gong Qianyu cleaned up the mess. When he saw the hammock, he asked, "What? The ground can't even be touched?"

Shui Ling nodded, "Yeah, it doesn't matter to you, what you saw is not real anyway."

Shui Zheran asked dully: "What will happen?"

Shui Ling chuckled, "We'll find out in the evening. It's boring to spoil the story. I'm going to buy some props. Are you going?"

Although Shui Zheran didn't believe in ghosts and gods, he felt a little uncomfortable in such a big deserted house and Shui Ling was so mysterious.

"I'll go with you and help you get your things."

Shui Ling chuckled and walked out the door.

On the street, Shui Ling went straight to the incense and candle shop. When he entered the door, he asked: "Is there any ingot?"

"There are some. Do you want gold ingots or silver ingots? We also have gold bars and silver bricks here."

The gold ingots of this period were made by stacking copper powder and gold-painted paper. If you bought too much and burned it, you could collect the residue and re-calcine it to make gold ingots.

But those who can afford gold and silver ingots will not let these residues be trampled on by others. Someone will guard them. After the burning is completed and the sparks have completely disappeared, a hole will be dug and buried.

The waiter took out a basket with gold ingots in it. Shuiling picked it up and looked at it, "How much is it?"

The waiter replied: "One tael of silver is ten."

The cost of a thousand gold ingots was only one gold, so Shuiling calculated and bought eight.

The waiter asked for change, and Shui Ling said, "Give me the silver ingot."

"Sure." The waiter took ten silver ingots.

Shui Ling bought some round yellow paper cut into copper coins. She smiled when she looked at the yellow paper, but then she felt bad and quickly put away her smile.

Gong Qianyu also bought incense candles, strong talisman paper, writing brushes, and cinnabar.

After leaving the shop, Shui Ling said with emotion: "Who came up with these things? They are actually defrauding people of their money."

Gong Qianyu smiled and said: "I don't know either, it has been around since ancient times."

"Well, I'm not saying this is bad. If you have the conditions, you can buy some to express your thoughts for your deceased relatives. There is nothing wrong with it."

"It's just those people who pretend to be fat, but the gains outweigh the losses, and they are panicking." Shui Ling shook his head, saying that you need to do things according to your ability.

Gong Qianyu looked across the street and stopped.

Shui Ling followed his gaze and saw that there were no familiar people, they were all ordinary people.

Gong Qianyu said: "I seem to have seen the princess of King Xi. She married a Juren, but the Juren did not live long. He died after living for one year."

Shui Zheran suddenly trembled all over, "Is Princess Tanwang called Princess Liuxiang?"

Gong Qianyu nodded, "Yes, do you know Uncle Ran?"

Shui Zheran put the things in his hands into Shui Ling's hands, "I'll go find your mother, you can do it yourself."

Shui Ling is speechless. Could it be that the princess whom dad said the original owner was flirting with is Princess Liuxiang? If she doesn’t have a man, will she like her dad again? "

What should they do when the time comes to force the father to divorce his wife so that they can rekindle their relationship? Even if they don't divorce his wife, they can't even take her as a concubine.

Seeing Shuiling in a daze, Gong Qianyu asked worriedly: "What's wrong? Are you tired?"

Shui Ling shook her head, "No...it's okay." It was so embarrassing.

She asked tentatively: "If a woman of high status wants to marry a married woman, will she force her first wife to divorce or ask the man to divorce his wife?"

Gong Qianyu took the things from her hands and said, "If a couple has a good relationship, they cannot be forced."

"If the relationship between the two is not good, they can reconcile without being forced, and the woman from Beijing can remarry as she pleases."

"Oh..." Shui Ling looked at Gong Qianyu. Gong Qianyu was feeling fuzzy in his heart, feeling that he had said something he shouldn't have said.

Shui Ling was still uneasy, "What if the other party's first wife was killed?"

Gong Qianyu laughed, "If there are no offspring, you can remarry after three years. If you have offspring, you must ensure that you will not marry again but you can take concubines. This way you can keep the deceased wife's dowry. Generally, the woman's family will count and record it with the man."

Give the book to the Yamen, and when the children come of age, take it out and divide it among them. Even if they take concubines, they will not be able to touch the money."

"Oh..." Shui Ling felt something was different. Could it be that the novels she read were misleading? I don't have that much right to grab any property at all?

The two walked while chatting.

After returning to the house, Shui Ling fixed the candles in the four corners of the house, and placed two gold ingots and two silver ingots in one corner.

After that, she poked a handful of incense at the moon door between the flower hall and the front hall. She sighed and said: "The front is wide and the back is narrow, and the color is lost. The triangular architectural grid is full of blood."

Gong Qianyu took out a book and flipped through it, nodding frequently, "That's right, that's right."
Chapter completed!
