An old lady's life

At that time, the sky has completely brightened.The gray sky is accompanied by a desolate autumn wind, and the clouds float lazily in the sky, as if it will rain or not. The weather is neither good nor bad.

The funeral of Rong Mansion is going on, and the sad and sad song is blown far away with the autumn wind. Passers-by shake and sigh, and seeing the grand funeral, and the filial sons and grandsons wearing filial piety clothes crying so sad, they feel comforted again. The deceased has filial sons and grandchildren who fall into the pot, and the evening scene is not bleak, and the end of life is a happy event in the world.

The mourning and music were temporarily stopped by Wang Wei, the chief steward next to the emperor, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. According to the etiquette of respecting the dead, Wang Wei and the crown prince first offered incense to Jia Daishan and worshiped, and then read the emperor's imperial edict.The content of the imperial decree praised Jia Daishan's great achievements in this life. In the end, the emperor gave Jia Daishan the posthumous title of Wuxiang, and later generations can also call Jia Daishan Duke Wuxiang.

After Wang Wei completed the task assigned by the emperor, he was escorted back to the palace by everyone, while the prince stayed behind.The prince didn't want to arrive so early, but Emperor Changping ordered him to come with Wang Weiyi, so he came so early.

Jia She and Jia Zheng served the prince tremblingly. The prince was not very interested in the two of them, but he still maintained a gentleman's style, which was very comforting to Jia She and Jia Zheng.

The prince thought to himself, since Jia Daishan died, the power of the Rongguo Mansion in the army would have shrunk, so he wondered if those generals and soldiers recognized Jia She and Jia Zheng. Apart from donating a vain job, Jia Amnesty stayed at home all day, which seemed to be worthless.Jia Zheng is in his 20s. After studying for so many years, he didn't even pass the exam. What's the use?

Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng were very grateful to the prince. Seeing their expressions, the prince knew that he had done nothing today.The arrival of Bao Linghou, Lin Hai, and Qi Frame made Jia She and Jia Zheng heave a sigh of relief. The two had never had such close contact with the prince, and they were the prince. They were timid.

In fact, Lin Hai had already noticed the expressions of the two eldest brothers-in-law, so he asked his uncle to help, but the eldest brother-in-law was also there, so the three of them came together.

The prince originally thought that he would do useless work today, but when he saw Baoling Hou Shimin, his interest came again.These court ministers are all slippery loaches, and Bao Linghou didn't answer his previous wooing, so today might be a good opportunity.

After handing over the crown prince to his uncle, Jia Amnesty Jia Zheng and Lin Hai slipped away. Lin Hai turned his head and saw that the elder brother-in-law was fawning on the prince with a flattering expression, and frowned. Don't the elder brother-in-law want to climb up to the prince now?But he thought again, the eldest brother-in-law is just a military officer in charge of weapons, with several officials on his head, it's useless, even if the prince thinks he doesn't like him.

A quarter of an hour later, the three princes and county kings who opened the mansion outside the palace arrived separately. They didn't plan to come so early, but when they received the news that the crown prince and Wang Wei had arrived at Rongguo Mansion first, the three county kings couldn't help it.

Jia She, Jia Zheng, and Lin Hai led the three county kings to the Prince's place, and handed them over to Marquis Baoling, as well as Master Zhang and Master Wang. Anyway, due to today's special situation, don't think too much about it.The master of the Zhang family is still the emperor's teacher, and he is very close to the prince.The master of the Wang family has Mira Buddha's face, which is also very close to people.

There is no way that the head of the Rongguo Mansion passed away. Others are not qualified to entertain the Crown Prince and others. Jia Daihua is qualified, but it is a pity that Jia Daihua is bedridden and cannot even come to the funeral of his cousin. How can he entertain the Crown Prince and others?

Hong Ye also saw this scene in front of the coffin, her eyes focused on the prince, he was such a benevolent and righteous prince in ancient times, but it was a pity that he died early, presumably he should be the Prince Yizhong who went wrong.The other three princes are the eldest prince Sujun, the third prince Xiangxiang, and the fifth prince Gongjun. The prince is ranked second.

He also recalled in his mind the situation of many sons of Emperor Changping who is currently on the throne of the emperor in the Dafeng Dynasty. Hongye found that although Emperor Changping's ability to give birth to children was not as good as that of Kangxi, the situation of his grown-up sons was comparable to that of the historical Nine Dragons. There are many similarities.Hongye sent a pitying look to the prince, then quickly took it back, and hastened to entertain other guests.

Perhaps it was the imperial decree of the emperor, the arrival of the crown prince and the three princes and county kings. At noon, many high officials and their wives arrived one after another.

In the past, they were called four princes and eight princes, but now several of them are not dukes, and their relationship with each other is relatively flat. They were supposed to come slowly, but the crown prince and the three county kings came. They can't wait any longer.

In this way, on the first day of the funeral, the prince, three county kings, and many high officials arrived, making Jia Daishan's funeral very grand.

After the noon feast, many people went home first, and it was the turn of the master of the mansion and the helpers to have lunch.Ai Cao took advantage of Hongye's meal and sat beside her, without attracting the attention of others.

Hongye's soup bowl was full of vegetarian soup, and Ai Cao couldn't help laughing. The host of the funeral watched the guests drink and eat meat, but they could only eat vegetarian.

"I didn't expect you to become like this." Ai Cao whispered, her tone full of ridicule.

Hongye deliberately gave her a white look, and was concerned about her own identity, so she couldn't help lowering her voice, "Everyone, you have become an old woman older than you."

Ai Cao didn't take it seriously, "Tch, I'm talking about your identity."

Hongye glanced at her faintly, "My status is quite good. I have been the old matriarch of the family since I came here, and my cheap son is also very filial. I am not a wicked mother-in-law or stepmother, so I can live as I feel comfortable."

Ai Cao really wanted to laugh, but this ancient funeral was much more elaborate than modern funerals. If she laughed out loud, it was estimated that her father-in-law would die soon, and Mrs. Jing'anhou would gloat over her misfortune.

The deceased old master of the Lin family, because of the special favor of the late emperor, allowed the Lin family to inherit the title of the Lin family for one more generation, and was named Jing'an Hou.Because the title of Marquis of Jing'an is neither hereditary nor descended, the title of Marquis of Jing'an will be taken back in place for three generations, so after the death of the old lady, the title of Marquis of Jing'an will naturally be taken back, but the title of Mrs. Lin's wife, Marquis of Jing'an, is still there. bit.

Hong Ye finished eating, and was ordering the servants to clear the table, when heart-piercing cries came from the mourning hall.At this time, the mourning and chanting were suspended midway, and the masters and masters were recharging their energy, and were suddenly startled by the crying.

The wormwood is a bit strange, who is it?Listening to this sad cry, only Jia Daishan's children can have such rich emotions.

"Third Miss and Uncle have finally arrived." Hong Ye wiped her mouth, "I'll go and see, parents-in-law can do whatever they want."

Ai Cao burst into laughter again, Hong Ye was doing well.

The third married girl Jia Xiyao and her son-in-law Tian Gaojie from the Rongguo Mansion finally rushed back from the Tianjiazhuangzi two hundred miles away.

Most of the guests have already left, leaving only some in-laws. For example, because Mrs. Zhang was worried about her daughter's health, she stayed here to take care of her daughter. Ms. Zhang had lunch, which was specially prepared by Mrs. Zhang.

"Father, my daughter is unfilial. I didn't see you for the last time, and I didn't make it in time..." Jia Xiyao cried miserably, and Tian Gaojie, who was kneeling next to him, also had a face full of guilt.

Jia Siyao and Jia Min supported Jia Xiyao together, and comforted her, it doesn't matter, her father won't blame her, so don't take it too seriously.

Hongye approached and called Jia She over, "Boss, did we receive Mrs. Tian and Mrs. Tian this morning?" There were too many people, and she didn't seem to see Mr. Tian and Mrs. Tian.

Jia Amnesty was a little hazy, he was sleepy and dozed off, but was suddenly woken up by the crying of the third sister, heard his mother's question clearly, and shook his head quickly: "No, my son remembers clearly, Master Tian and Madam did not arrive."

Hongye rubbed her chin and thought, Jia Daishan passed away, Mrs. Tian was not friendly, so Mrs. Tian didn't intend to recognize this in-law, why didn't she come?

Jia Xiyao's lateness would be a joke, the maids in the mansion not only took care of Jia Xiyao, but also made friends with Jia Xiyao's maids, and soon figured out the reason why Jia Xiyao and Tian Gaojie were late.

Speaking of which, Tian Gaojie and Lin Hai participated in the imperial examination in the same session, but Lin Hai was appointed by Emperor Changping as Tanhualang, Tian Gaojie passed the second-class Jinshi, but Jia Xiyao married before Tian Gaojie took the imperial examination, and now Lin Hai is in the Imperial Academy Ren Cong compiled and edited the sixth rank, and Tian Gaojie served as the seventh rank classics in the cabinet. Tian Zong, the left servant of the official department, is of great importance. He easily obtained this official position for the concubine, which is really enviable.

However, there are many people in the position of classics. Tian Gaojie and others were assigned a duty list when they were working. Looking at Maple Leaf in Hong County, Tian Gaojie is somewhat weak by nature, especially when facing his aunt and brothers and sisters, he was born short, so he agreed to the request of his aunt. Jia Xiyao married into Tian's family for three years and knew that her husband What kind of temper, and the sister-in-law was afraid that she had no good intentions, so she went with her just in case.

In this way, when the funeral report from the Rongguo Mansion arrived at the Tian family, the Tian family had to send someone to the Zhuangzi to inform them.

As for why Mr. Tian and Mrs. Tian did not arrive, the Rongguo Mansion is not clear. Mr. Tian is not in the capital, he is out of Beijing on business.Mrs. Tian was not enthusiastic about the concubine at all, thinking that when the concubine and his wife arrived, she would come again.

Hongye thought for a while, and stopped guessing the Tian family's intentions. She looked at the young couple who were at a loss, and said, "Third Miss, don't worry too much. You can come back as soon as you receive the news. This is already a rare gift of filial piety." , your father will not blame you, on the contrary, he will feel sorry for you." Didn't it feel bad, I thought I found a good home for the concubine, but I didn't think it was going into the den of wolves.Of course, the aunts of most families in Beijing have this mentality towards the concubine and the concubine. As long as the concubine survives and divides the family, the situation will be better. Every concubine and daughter-in-law come here like this.
