Chapter 63: The male eldest married and the prince died of illness
"Throw the corpse into the dry well in the backyard, and then you can go back to your room to rest," and then called a few maids to wipe the blood stains on the ground, and several house slaves secretly carried Qiuyue's body to the backyard and threw it in the dry well, and then locked the backyard gate and made it a forbidden place, and no one was allowed to mention it on any occasion, as if it had never happened.
Men should get married, women should get married, and in a blink of an eye, the country has reached the age of starting a family, and there are a lot of matchmakers who come to say that they are pro-matchmakers, and the matchmakers who come to be pro have left portraits of the other party's women and eight characters as a comparison. As soon as dawn a matchmaker came to say goodbye, Mrs. Tai sat in the front hall to receive her, and said with a smile: "The old man can't be the master of the marriage of his children, so he has to let my grandson say the count." β
I heard that this matchmaker came from her hometown, maybe she was entrusted by someone. The matchmaker walked into the hall and couldn't wait to step forward and said, "Mrs. Tai, you come to see this woman, she is as beautiful as a fairy, and the eight characters are also compatible," After finishing speaking, she took out the portrait of the other woman's daughter and her birth date from her arms, and Mrs. Tai picked up the portrait and looked at it.
"This portrait is good, I don't know whose woman it is?"
"It's the daughter of the Zhang family in your hometown, her father is Zhang Chengcheng, I heard that this Zhang Chengcheng is still your nephew."
After hearing this, Mrs. Tai was very happy and said, "I didn't expect that the adult daughter has reached the age of marriage, what kind of occupation is the adult now?" β
"Master Zhang is now the prefect, and he is currently serving in Shaanxi, both of them are well-known, Mrs. Tai, you see...
Mrs. Tai picked up the woman's birth date again and looked at it, and then put it down, as if she was constantly pondering. The matchmaker stood next to Mrs. Tai and said, "If you become in-laws, aren't you kissing and kissing?" Let's take a look at their birthdays, isn't it appropriate? Mrs. Tai, what are you still hesitating about? β
"It's quite appropriate for an old body to look at this one, okay, just this one."
After listening to this, the matchmaker said happily: "Mrs. Tai really has a vision. β
Guozhi has also been idle recently, wandering aimlessly in the courtyard, looking at the pear blossoms in the courtyard, it has reached the season of budding. He walked slowly to the backyard again, and saw that the gate of the backyard was already locked, and a subordinate stepped forward to stop him, saying, "Young master, you can't go in, so as not to stick to the bad luck." β
"Open the door, I want to see what's mysterious in this backyard?" At this time, Mrs. Chen walked out of her room and said, "Zhi'er," and the subordinates turned to Mrs. Chen and saluted, "Madam." β
"Go down, all of you."
Kuniji stepped forward and said, "Mother." β
"Zhi'er, your grandmother has something to discuss with you, hurry up."
"Yes, the boy is going now," said Mrs. Chen, who stepped forward to straighten his sleeves and said, "Go quickly." β
Guozhi stepped directly into the West Wing Courtyard, entered Mrs. Tai's room, and said, "Grandma." β
After Mrs. Tai saw Guozhi, she saw the sunrise like a light cloud, and said, "Grandson, come and sit down," Guozhi stepped forward and sat down, looked at Mrs. Tai, and said: "Grandma, there is a question in my grandson's heart that I can't solve, I believe that grandma can solve the question in my grandson's heart." β
"What doubts? Just say it. β
"A maidservant girl died in our He Yuan, and the grandson wants to ask why this happened."
Mrs. Tai's face suddenly turned gloomy, and she said, "Who told you?" β
"No one told the grandson, it was the grandson who wanted to know, the maid was also a human being, and the grandson wanted to ask clearly, "Mrs. Tai didn't want to mention this matter, and the ugliness of the family was unspeakable to anyone. Since Guozhi mentioned this matter, he could only do so, so he said: "If you want to know, grandma might as well tell you that the servant girl has fornicated with someone and is pregnant, this is the ugliness of the He family, the ugliness of the family cannot be publicized, and the reputation of the He family can only be executed in secret." β
"Why didn't you find out the adulterer and do it so hastily?"
"No matter how you interrogate her, she just doesn't want to speak, and I'm afraid that the one who will be late will change. Grandson, you have to remember what your grandmother said, don't ask about some things you shouldn't ask, okay, don't mention it. Come, come and see, grandma has arranged a family affair for you. β
"Grandma, grandchildren have no plans for this at the moment."
"Starting a family is a big deal, grandma wants to hold her grandson, this is grandma's wish, can you help grandma fulfill this wish?"
"Okay, grandchildren are at grandma's disposal."
The next day, the He family gave a dowry and chose a good day to get married. Guozhi rode on a white horse, and then took a big red flower, led the family greeting team, and set off from Chengdu on a sedan chair. On this day, the Zhang family got up early in the morning, and their daughter sat in front of the dresser to freshen up, and the people stood outside the boudoir door and waited. In the distance, the greeting team led by Guozhi walked slowly here, firing cannons and playing music, and the subordinates guarding outside the gate entered the room and said, "Master, Mrs., Miss, Uncle is here." β
The Zhang family put the red hijab on Miss Yu's head and led her out. Guozhi rode forward on a white horse, then dismounted and saluted, saying, "The son-in-law is here to meet his father-in-law and mother-in-law." The parents of the Zhang family led their daughter to Guozhi, looked at Guozhi very sincerely, and said: "Zhi'er, I handed over my little daughter to you for my father, I hope to treat her well in the future." Guozhi straightened up and said, "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, don't worry, Zhang Yan'er is a good girl, and the child will treat her well in the future." β
Guozhi stood in front of the big red sedan chair to open the curtain, and the daughter of the Zhang family entered the sedan chair. Guozhi walked to the other two sedan chairs, opened the curtains, and said, "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, please get on the sedan chair." Zhang Yan'er's parents got into the sedan chair, and then got up the sedan chair and left slowly, and Guozhi rode a white horse to lead the way in front.
Zhang Yaner entered He Yuan, worshiped heaven and earth, and worshiped her parents, and they were a legitimate husband and wife. Zhang Yan'er sat alone at the head of the bed, the whole room was very quiet, only some red candles illuminated the room red, just waiting for her husband to return. Late at night, after the garden was dispersed, Guozhi returned to the cave room drunk. At this time, Zhang Yan'er said a little shyly: "Husband." Guozhi said at this time: "It's late at night, it's time to sleep." Then she fell asleep on the bed, ignoring Zhang Yan'er, so breathless, Zhang Yan'er put aside the red hijab and breathless, got up and sat in front of the desk, swallowing melon seeds, maybe thinking, "Since you don't like me, why do you marry me?" β
In the first month of the thirtieth year of Daoguang, Emperor Daoguang was seriously ill, and summoned the Zongren Mansion Zaiquan, the former ministers Zaiyuan, Ruihua, and Seng Greenqin, the ministers of military aircraft, Mu Zhang'a, Sai Shang'a, and Wen Qing, the minister in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, etc., publicly opened the secret box, announced the imperial book, and the fourth son of the emperor was established as the crown prince, and the sixth son of the emperor Yi Yi was named Prince Gong, and then died of illness. The crown prince Yixu succeeded to the throne of the emperor, took the second year as the first year of Xianfeng, posthumously crowned the feudal mansion Fujin as the queen, and was filial piety, and named the seventh brother of the emperor Yiyun as the king of the alcohol county. In February, he ordered Shi Baiye, the imperial history of the left capital, and Ji Pu, the minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, to build the Changxi Mausoleum for Empress Xiao and Rui. In April, Emperor Daxing honored the temple as Cheng, the temple number Xuanzong, and the mausoleum as Muling. In the same year, He Jiehao, an official serving in other places, was summoned to Beijing to join the military aircraft department as an alternate.
In December of the same year, Taigong became seriously ill again, and He Jiehao resigned and returned to his hometown. At this time, the grandfather was lying on the sickbed, and it took a long time to wake up, and he successively called in He Jiehao and Mrs. Tai to enter and sit next to the bed. β
"Hao'er, the old man's time is not long, and the most reassuring thing at present is the child Guoan, this child is silent at home, and his heart is very heavy, but no one knows what he is thinking in his heart? The city is deep. The old man of the child of Guozhi is relieved, proud and righteous, broad-minded but less scheming, very naΓ―ve and naΓ―ve to think about problems when encountering problems, and more experience and blows will be mature. β
"Father, don't worry, An'er is good at writing articles, and the child found an errand for him, and he became a scribe next to Lord Peng, the prefect of Nanchong, and he could also hone An'er's mind."
"It's okay, it's okay, call Zhi'er in," Among the two grandsons of Taigong, Taigong values Guozhi the most, because Guozhi is most like his father Jiehao. Then, Guozhi walked in, looked at the prince lying on the bed, shed tears, and said, "Grandpa." β
"Zhi'er, don't cry, don't flick when a man has tears, and then it's a common thing to be born, old, sick and dead, grandpa is old, Lord Yama called the old man to say that he wanted to send an official position to the old man."
"Well, Zhi'er doesn't cry," Kuniji wiped away the tears that fell on both sides and smiled.
"I heard that you're going to open a martial arts gym, have you thought of a name?"
"The grandson is taught by Shaolin, so it is called Shaolin ** Hall, and Shaolin Kung Fu is spread among the people."
"Well, okay, my grandson has ambitions, and I also need money to open a martial arts hall, and I can't do it without money, I have grandpa's private money in my grandfather's study, even if it is grandpa's support for you."
"Grandpa."
"Grandpa's stomach is hungry, and he likes your grandma's porridge," Guozhi turned to look at Mrs. Tai and said, "Grandma." β
Mrs. Tai stepped forward and sat in front of Taigong's bed, took the porridge and fed it to Taigong herself, and Taigong drank a spoonful of porridge, and then said: "Madam, you and I have known each other for more than 60 years. β
"Yes, this time flies so fast, we have been more than sixty years in a blink of an eye, and if there is an afterlife, I will marry you and be your wife."
Taigong took another sip of porridge and said, "Okay, good, don't forget, you and I have an agreement in the next life." β
In the early hours of the morning, Taigong passed away at the age of 89. On the seventh day of Taigong's death, Taigong's body was transported back to his hometown for burial and buried at the foot of the mountain.
In 1851, a large-scale peasant uprising broke out, and a leading group composed of Hong Xiuquan, Yang Xiuqing, Xiao Chaogui, Feng Yunshan, Wei Changhui, and Shi Dakai launched an armed uprising against the Manchu court in Jintian Village, Guangxi, and later established the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. In the autumn, the Taiping army captured Yong'an Prefecture in Guangxi, seized the state officials, and knelt before the army. Hong Xiuquan, the leader of the Taiping Army, ascended the high platform and announced: "They are all demons, and they have brought disaster to the country and the people. Then he killed him as a sacrifice flag, which inspired the morale of the army. In December, he was crowned king in Yong'an, known as the Yong'an establishment in history, and was determined to fight against the imperial court.
