Chapter 597: The Finale
Qi Zhai just finished the wedding and then held the funeral, fortunately, Qi Sile got married, otherwise he would have to be delayed by the old lady for a few years, and then she would really become the oldest leftover girl of this dynasty.
The old lady Qi passed away, and Qi Changming naturally wanted to rush back, but the day in August was when the autumn tiger was raging, and it was not easy to extend the funeral, so it was not in a hurry to wait for Qi Changming to return to Beijing, and Qi Xiao held the spirit to handle the old lady's funeral, and after seven days, the coffin was stopped in Huguo Temple, and the coffin was only transported back to Qinghe City together when Qi Changming came back.
The old man is always unhappy when he sees his peers leaving, and he will be uncomfortable for a few days, and Mrs. Zhen is like this, as soon as Mrs. Qi passes, she will be sick.
So Zhen Wanyi hurriedly went to Zhen's mansion again. Seeing that her daughter's spirit was finally better, the old lady took Zhen Wanyi's hand and said, "You said that this person is good, why did you eat a date and go? β
Zhen Wanyi comforted: "This is also fate, mother, don't be sad, you must be careful in everything in the future, especially what you eat, you must be cautious." β
The old lady waved her hand, "Alas, I know, don't worry about me, your eighth sister-in-law usually looks at it, especially when the old lady Qi came out, she was frightened, and told the maid at home many times, and now the things at this entrance are checked and checked." β
"That's good, don't bother, you need to pay more attention now that you're older. β
The old lady smiled, "I know, I have your eighth sister-in-law watching, you don't have to bother, just take care of yourself." This time, Ru Niang and her family will help the coffin to go south, and they will stay in Qinghe City for three years, and I don't know if they are used to it? What arrangements will they have after three years?"
Zhen Wanyi's eyes flashed, "We have been in Qinghe City for more than ten years, what is there not used to." As for the future, isn't there still three years to go, what are you doing so early?" Looking at her mother's flickering eyes, Zhen Wanyi smiled and said, "What, Seventh Sister asked you to visit me?"
The old lady pursed her lips, "Your seventh sister came to talk to me for a long time before leaving, saying that she has been waiting in front of me for so many years, and she is very upset, and now there is no one in her husband's family, and only our relatives can move around. β
Zhen Wanyi frowned, and said dissatisfiedly: "Isn't it too much for the seventh sister to spend these children, even if the seventh brother-in-law's matter is retired, but even if he returns to Beijing with a seven-rank county order, he will just go to Qingshui Yamen to make a living, do you still want to be in charge, and the prince of my family is now retired, and he can't even speak as a six- or seven-grade official? Is there a seventh sister who hurts people like this? In my opinion, don't let the starling brother be busy, doesn't she have a brother-in-law and brother-in-law from the third grade, just let her good in-laws plan it." β
The old lady smiled, "Okay, look at your little temperament, you just need to know it in your own heart, don't shout that people are laughing everywhere." β
The old lady persuaded for a long time, but Zhen Wanyi was still unconvinced, and as soon as she returned home, she complained to Qi Rong, "What do you mean by Seventh Sister, how much did we help her before, but now that you are no longer in charge, you can't interfere in the matter of the resurgence of the Seventh Brother-in-law, the Seventh Brother-in-law is just a seven-grade petty official, can you use her to go to her mother to be courteous?"
Qi Rong gave a glass of warm water, looked at his puffed wife, and raised his eyebrows, "Are you blaming your seventh sister for not coming to pay you courtesy?"
Zhen Wanyi's eyes widened, "What, do I need the diligence of the seventh sister? I'm not sorry for you, okay, she will find a way to stab me for a little thing, when did we fight and postpone it." Now, as soon as you have retired, she has entrusted the matter to her mother and starling, which is too much. β
Zhen Wanyi actually wanted to say that Zhen Ruyi was too snobbish, but after all, she was her own sister, so she didn't want to say it ugly, and it would save Qi Rong from feeling uncomfortable.
Hearing that his wife was complaining about herself, Qi Rong's eyebrows and eyes were stretched, "What's so angry about this, it's better if she doesn't come, it saves us trouble, although a six- or seven-grade official is just a matter of moving his mouth, isn't it better not to move?"
Zhen Wanyi took the water sullenly and drank it, everything has really been bad lately, the more posts she receives, the more cool words she hears, and people who she has never put in her eyes before dare to fight Brother Heng's idea, I really don't know what to do.
Isn't these changes because Qi Rong retired and is no longer a Zhongshu Order? Kerong Wangfu is a first-class prince's mansion, although Qi Rong is no longer in charge, but the holy family is still the same, His Majesty summons Qi Rong into the palace every once in a while, and the tribute sent into the palace is only a lot more than before. I really don't understand what the eyes of those people outside are, which one sees that the Rongwang Mansion is going downhill?
Qi Rong sighed secretly, and understood in his heart that the lady had been wronged during this time, and today's incident of Zhen Ruyi was just an introduction, and it seemed that the plan was going to be advanced.
"Wan'er, Your Majesty has given her husband an errand to go to the south, do you want to go with you?"
Zhen Wanyi hurriedly swallowed the water in her mouth, and said in surprise: "Can I go on an errand?"
"Your Majesty just asked Weifu to go to the south for a walk, to observe the people's feelings for him, and to transport the winter tribute by the way. β
"Isn't it too early for the winter tribute, it's only August? Besides, you're on an errand, how can you take me with you?"
Zhen Wanyi was a little moved, you must know that for so many years, she has been in two places, one Qinghe City, one in the capital, and the other places are all known through Yizhi, but they can never be connected with the memories in their minds, it would be great if they could go out for a walk.
Qi Rong saw that his wife was moved, and said: "There's nothing that can't be done, didn't my husband promise you before, and I want to take you out for a walk? Zhao Dahai is in charge of Nanning Port, and I heard that a very beautiful garden has been built, so let's go to him to have a look. There is also Yu Jinxiao, who is also having a good time in Nantong, let's go over this time, maybe we can go to sea with the boat to have a ride. β
The more Zhen Wanyi's eyes lit up the more she listened, and she almost nodded when she thought of what Qi Rong said, "But, I went out with the prince, what should Sister Yue do?"
Qi Rong frowned slightly, and then let go, "What's so difficult about this, let's go south to play, it's a big deal to bring Sister Yue'er, at most the nurse can find a few more." β
Zhen Wanyi gritted her teeth, and finally shook her head, "No, Sister Yue is too young to take it out, I'll wait for Sister Yue to be older." β
She can't just take care of herself, the child is only more than four months old, how can she run around.
But in the end, Zhen Wanyi was still persuaded, and the Empress Dowager and Sister Qiong took action together to take Sister Yue directly to the Mei Courtyard, and Sister Qiong lived in the same room as Sister Yue.
"Mother, now you can rest assured, the daughter and grandmother are watching together, and the two nurses and the doctor are also there, you just have to go out with your father, you have worked hard all these years, you can go out with your father to relax." β
The Empress Dowager nodded on the side, "Yes, Sister Yue is well-behaved and easy to bring, and Sister Qiong is sensible, you just have to go out and take advantage of your youth." If you have time, you can also go to the village of the concubine's mother's house, where many fresh fruits and mountain delicacies that cannot be eaten in the capital are much more delicious than tribute fruits. β
Zhen Wanyi looked at the obvious remembrance of the imperial concubine and persuaded: "Why don't you go with us." β
The Empress Dowager was stunned, and then shook her head: "No, I'm old and have no strength, so I won't toss, just have the two of you go and see it for me." β
Zhen Wanyi thought about it, and finally stopped persuading her, if she was in the position of the crown princess, I was afraid that she would not want to go back. Her parents and relatives sent her out as a cargo, but they were afraid that the day she left, the princess didn't think about going back.
On the 12th day of September, it is auspicious, easy to move the earth, easy to bathe, easy to travel, easy to marry, this is a day when everything is done.
On this day, the gate of King Rong's Mansion opened, and more than a dozen carriages were swinged, and a young man in a green robe commanded everyone to pedal the car.
Qi Ji, who was standing at the gate of the palace, called excitedly: "Father, mother, the auspicious time is coming, you hurry up." β
Zhen Wanyi and Qi Rong walked out of the palace side by side, the imperial concubine took Qi Heng, and Qi Qiong walked out in turn with Qi Yue in her arms.
Qi Heng stepped forward and said, "Father, the mother concubine will be handed over to you to take care of." β
The young man in Tsing Yi in front hurriedly ran over, "Big brother, don't worry, I will take care of my mother." β
Qi Heng nodded and patted his younger brother's thick shoulder, "Second brother, then I will hand over the safety of my mother and fourth brother to you, you have to complete the task well." β
Qi Jue patted his chest, "Big brother don't worry." β
Qi Qiong hugged her sister and stepped forward, "Father, mother, second brother, fourth brother, you go out, everything must be careful." β
The four of them nodded, Zhen Wanyi took Sister Yue'er and hugged her tightly in her arms, it was only five months, she was really reluctant, but the atmosphere in the capital during this time was very strange. Qi Rong didn't want to get involved in the battle for the storage position, she was naturally a husband and wife, so traveling became the best choice.
The Empress Dowager approached and picked up Sister Yue'er, and said with a smile: "Okay, there are us at home, you can rest assured." β
Qi Rong pulled Zhen Wanyi to get into the car first, and the arrangements that should be said and done have been completed, there is really no need to procrastinate.
Zhen Wanyi watched the figure in front of King Rong's Mansion getting smaller and smaller from the raised curtain, and tears finally flowed.
Qi Rong shook his head and hugged the wife who was crying into tears, "What's wrong, isn't it said well, why are you crying?"
"Brother Heng and Sister Qiong haven't left me yet, and Sister Yue is so young, and the mother is so old, and she has to help us take care of the children, we are too unfilial. β
Qi Rong said helplessly: "Brother Heng and Sister Qiong are both adults, if it weren't for Brother Xuan'er's business, Sister Qiong would have to say that she would marry next year, and you should let go." As for Sister Yue'er, let's not say okay, now that I am still young, my mother will help watch it, and when I am older, we will take her out with us. As for the concubine, you don't have to worry, she is in good health, and with Sister Yue by her side, her food is more fragrant. β
Qi Rong persuaded her like this, Zhen Wanyi was much better, the most important thing was to prepare for the past month, almost everyone said these words to her, and persuaded her to go out. It's just that this sudden parting is a little sad and I can't control myself, and I feel much better when I hear Qi Rong's words again.
"Shall we go to Lingnan first?
"Well, there are a few things to see there in the fall. β
"I'm going to Nanning, Zhao Dahai and Mother Qian are married, haven't we drunk their wedding wine yet?"
"Their eldest sons are about the same age as Jue Ge'er. β
"Cousin Xiao has been in Nantong for so many years, the eldest princess has passed away, who will care about Cousin Xiao's affairs, this time let's let Cousin Xiao come back." β
"Well, Dian's matter is already over, and he can go back to Beijing. β
"Then do we still have time to go to the mother's house to have a look?"
"We don't have time to go again next year, the village has the best summer scenery and the most fresh fruits in autumn, so let's start early next year and stay longer." β
"Ah, we'll be out next year?"
"Well, as long as you want, we will go to the whole world, and even go to the sea to Nanyang, I heard that the customs there are very different from ours, let's go and see together. β
"Hmm. β
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
The cheerful voice made the brothers who were guarding the carriage laugh like squirrels, revealing their porcelain-white front teeth that glistened in the sun.
It's finally doneγγγγγγ
