Chapter 228: Sea Burial
Mi Li'er listened to the tone of the little saint, and didn't seem to insist on her privilege of "a group of wives and concubines", and couldn't help but smile: "What the saint said is that on Pearl Island, the saint is the biggest, and the young are dissatisfied, she should have said it to the saint well, so throwing her face at every turn is not the etiquette that the saint should have." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" After speaking, he winked at Wei Youqing.
Wei Youqing saw that Mi Li'er was teasing, pursed her lips, and said unhappily: "Mi Li'er, since you are so sensible, it is better for you to stay and be the first eldest man of this Laoshizi, you don't shake your face, and you understand etiquette." ”
Seeing this, Sun Wangshu smiled and said, "It turned out that it was for this reason, blame me for not making it clear." He smiled and turned his head to the little saint who was pouting and frowning, eager to eat Wei Youqing, and said, "On our island, it's not all about one woman and multiple men, like the mother of the slave, when the slave Han's father was alive, there was only one man, and there was no statute for this." Why don't you accommodate the young woman with a young woman, as long as there is a man? Don't call it the first eldest man, just call it the eldest man, what do you think? ”
Wei Youqing is still very awkward, although he is young, he has seen his father-in-law and his wife, King Yun and other very loving couples, and he also knows that he wants to "be gentle and obedient", but the husband is the husband, the husband is the wife's day, what is this "eldest man"? Her Majesty's face?
Wei Youqing was disgusted in his heart, and excused himself: "When we Han people get married, we all have to decide with our fathers and mothers, and Youqing's marriage naturally needs the words of the matchmaker from her parents, where is it your turn to make your own decisions?" ”
Sun Wangshu laughed "hehe" and said: "Youqing, you are too worried, you don't get married on the island, you can't talk about marriage, as long as you want, you can be together if you want to, and if you're not happy, just go." Now the island can't be left without an owner for a day, the succession of the saint is imminent, and the young man can only help. ”
Wei Youqing heard it and asked again: "Is this true?" He said to the people around him, "You all hear it! Youqing is not married, and I am not married to the little saint, so it is not against the etiquette of the Han people. ”
Everyone smiled and nodded yes, and the natives present did not object. Wei Youqing looked at the little saint and saw that she had no intention of objecting, so she was sure that the customs of the local people were indeed different from those of the Han people, and she and the little saint girl could not be counted, so she nodded in agreement.
And when they returned to the temple together, they saw the guards carrying out a group of servants. He Jiming asked, "Where does the ruler want to take the people?" The people who killed the saint have already been ambushed, so why should they be arrested? ”
Mi Li'er smiled: "Already ambushed? Did He Daochang think so? ”
He Jiming said coldly: "What does the official mean, could it be that our saintess killed the wrong person?" Aren't those two maids the murderers of the saint? ”
Mi Li'er laughed "hehe" and said, "He Daochang, you are embarrassed by Mi Li'er." Before interrogating the prisoner, Mi Li'er will not have any 'meaning'. Prince Yun appointed His Royal Highness King Chen to manage Pearl Island, and the prisoner killed the head of Pearl Island, Mi Li'er has the responsibility to find out the real culprit for His Royal Highness King Chen, and give the Holy Maiden a justice and give an explanation to the people of Pearl Island. ”
Mi Li'er said in the local language, although the local people are very unfamiliar with the outside world, but they all know that His Royal Highness King Chen is the one who eliminated the pirates on the island, and now Mi Li'er said that he wants to "give the saint a justice", and was immediately supported by the slaves and others present, and even among the servants who were caught, there were those who were bold, and immediately expressed their willingness to follow Mi Li'er, find the murderer of the saint earlier, and dig out his belly and heart, so as to comfort the soul of the saint in the sky.
Wei Youqing pushed the little saint who was hiding behind her, who had not spoken beside her, and whispered in her ear: "Hurry up and speak!" From now on, you will be a saint, and you will have to let the seventy-two tribes of this island listen to you. Mi Li'er has the support of King Chen's brother, and with him to help you, you don't have to be afraid of He Jiming. ”
The little saintess looked at Wei Youqing and met Wei Youqing's encouraging gaze. She added a lot of strength in her heart, smiled at Wei Youqing, nodded firmly, turned to Nuhan and said loudly: "Nuhan, what this official said is very true. Go out at once and announce it to the leaders of the Seventy-Two Tribes. We must find out the murderer of the saint and avenge the saint. ”
Nuhan said loudly, "Yes! "Look at He Jiming, and walk out of the temple.
He Jiming knew that the seventy-two tribes outside all supported the Holy Maiden, and their priests, who had suppressed the sorcerers on the island with the master's magical powers, had worked hard for decades to have the situation of almost competing with the Holy Maiden. So he said: "What the holy woman said is very true, and the path will return to the Ming family." The family teacher is the father of the late saint, and he will be very pleased with the filial piety of the saint, and he will also be very grateful for the heart of His Royal Highness King Chen. ”
Mi Li'er was busy trying the case, and the weather was hot, but the funeral of the saint was urgent. So, the body of the former saintess was carried out, the corpse naturally could not be examined, and there was no need to examine, the smell emitted by this corpse was the same as that of the little saintess, and the blue corpse also said everything. Since He Jiming is unwilling to let Mi Li'er take away the servants, it means that among those servants, there must be people who know the inside story.
The servants of Pearl Island smoothly escorted Shinjima for interrogation, and also reported to King Chen. On the Pearl Island, according to the customs of the natives, the flower boat was set up to prepare for the sea burial of the former saint. On a boat covered with flowers, the saint wore a white robe and garland on her head, and she lay on a bed of braided flowers, all the space occupied by flowers.
On the deck of the big ship, there was a circle of young girls standing around the ship. With holy smiles on their faces, they carried baskets of flowers, and threw their petals into the air again and again, and then fell into the sea. The sea rolled with waves, and the petals quickly sank to the bottom.
Wei Youqing and the little saint's boat followed behind the flower boat, both of them bathed and changed their clothes, changed into the same white robe as the saint, and wrapped their hair in a white turban.
The little saint looked at Wei Youqing, who appeared beside her after changing her clothes, her eyes lit up, and she praised her for a long time: "It turns out that you look so good in white clothes after you wash it!" ”
Wei Youqing's body was itchy by the coarse cloth robe, and he didn't listen carefully to the praise of the little saintess, he just hoped that these ceremonies would be held soon, since he went to the island, he had been busy non-stop, and he couldn't eat the food on the island, and the food made by the military chef brought by Mi Li'er was not delicious, all of which made Wei Youqing tired and irritable, and he just looked forward to arranging things here and returning to Xindao as soon as possible. Fortunately, King Chen was intimate and knew that they would not be able to come back for a while, so he sent fresh vegetables and fruits.
