Due to the imminent mourning of the Lord, the monthly leave of the Joy Kwan Yuan at the end of July was postponed.

The prince said that after King Xing's funeral, the companions read it for a month. After all, everyone has a lot of hard work with the funeral, and the monthly vacation in June has not been taken, and August is in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Give a month off, and everyone can have a good rest.

When everyone heard this, they were overjoyed. It's not just because they're homesick, they're now learning more about errands, and there are still a lot of things they need to tell their parents and ask their elders to help them get their ideas.

A "big rich man" like Chen Chizhong must also come forward to sort out the mystical view of property.

didn't wait for King Xing's funeral, and good news came out again. Wang Shouren, the governor of Southern Jiangxi, defeated the rebels of King Ning in Nanchang Mansion, and the rebel king of Ning and the rebel civil and military forces had been arrested, and King Ning had only 43 days from the beginning of the army to the capture.

Even if it was a rebellion thousands of miles away, the people of Anlu got the news, and many people set off firecrackers. I'd rather be a peace dog than a chaotic person, if King Ning's rebellion spreads, it will be the common people who will suffer in the end.

In a blink of an eye, it was the fifth day of the eighth month, the day of the funeral of King Xing's "77".

In addition to the imperial court, the civil and military officials of the provincial government, the subordinate officials of the palace, and the gentry and elders of Anlu Township sent King Xing to the funeral.

When the coffin of the prince was pulled out of the palace, there was a cry inside and outside the palace.

Outside the gate of the palace, Hulala knelt down nearly a thousand local fathers and elders, most of whom were people from Nancheng, who had received the grace of the prince's life over the years. They cried and mourned King Xing, the good lord of the country.

From the palace to the gate of the city, they spontaneously came to give people away, and there were thousands of people. Fortunately, Anlu Zhizhou's face was full of vegetables, for fear that there would be someone who would not open his eyes and mess up the prince's funeral. Although those people in the yamen have been sent, what is the use of those numbers?

The pedestrian division, along with the pedestrian division, and Wang Xuan, the deputy director of the pedestrian division, came over with the eyes of not enough eyes.

Zhu Ming has been inherited for one hundred and fifty years, dozens of princes, hundreds of county princes, and the lord of the country is in mourning.

Although some funerals will also arrange scenes of military and civilian send-offs, it is really incomparable with the scene in front of them.

A pedestrian sighed: "It is said that the prince is benevolent in the feudal country, and there are still some mouths in the department, saying that it is mostly a move to sell fame and reputation." If they see what they see, they have to swallow back what they say. ”

Another pedestrian: "Please welcome, upright, prohibit heresy, bow to frugality, put an end to obscenity, worship the gods, be filial piety, go to luxury, but offer, Pu Enze, the Sacred Heart, the good old minister, prudent punishment, relieve the people's poverty, worship the saints, the minister of rites, relief from drought, flood relief, light and benefit, Guangren Grace, feel the prayer, help the border, strengthen the city, excellent rural eunuchs, worry system, benefit to the officials, compassion for the people, courtesy, compassion for the old officials, cultivate talents, and advocate excellence from afar." ”

Listening to the pedestrian in front of him confused: "What is this, it is a good word?" ”

Another pedestrian replied: "It was the garrison eunuch Yang Bao who gave the emperor a compromise, a compliment to the prince, and thirty-two articles of virtue and politics." ”

The pedestrian in the front was speechless: "This Yang Bao really dares to write, he will be supervised when he goes to the vassal country, and he is not afraid of being annoyed in the capital if he says good things about King Xing like this?" ”

Another pedestrian said: "It's not a lie, what's there to be afraid of." Xingwang is benevolent, and it is not a day or two, the first emperor and the emperor have issued orders to praise ......"

The local people are still so grieving, not to mention the people in the palace.

Thinking of the prince's generosity and benevolence, the subordinate officials of the palace also cried and shook the sky.

The Taoist idiot followed Lu Bing, and he also followed the funeral queue. Lu Bing cried sincerely, even if he didn't howl like others, but the tears kept falling. The idiot also cried, of course not for the prince. He didn't know why he wanted to cry or what he was crying for.

Compared with the howling and crying of others, the silent crying of these two young men wiped out everyone. However, everything that should be seen has been seen, Chen Chizhong and Liu Congyun wiped their tears with their cuffs more and more frequently, and tears rained down; Lu Wenzhao hummed and chirped for a long time before he rubbed his eyes vigorously, but he also rubbed his eyes red.

Wang Qi cried loudly, and the grief on his face was unpretentious. It's just that I don't know if he's crying for King Xing or his own parents.

The people loved to cry, the wind and clouds changed color, and before the coffin went out of the city, it rained lightly, as if God was crying for King Xing.

The prince's cemetery is fifteen miles east of the city.

Except for the two elders of the prince's family and the chief official division and Qin Cha and others, everyone in the palace walked on foot, and the speed inevitably slowed down. The funeral procession traveled for two hours to get there. More than an hour passed for the various mourning ceremonies.

By the time everyone sent the prince's coffin to the Hall of Enjoyment for temporary worship and returned to Anlu City, it was already dusk, and everyone was as tired as a dead pig.

Even though the light rain did not stop, the companions still went to the Dongyuan bath and "met frankly". The last time everyone came, it was the night of Wang Ye's death, and everyone couldn't help but sigh when they thought of the chaos during the 49-day funeral.

Early the next morning, the companions left the palace and began to enjoy the long holiday in January.

The moment he saw the idiot, Wang Ning, who had always been calm, couldn't help but be moved, and pulled the idiot and didn't let go. Since the time the idiot came home in mid-June, the grandparents and grandchildren have not seen each other for two months.

Fortunately, the Taoist idiot was the time to grow his body, even if the prince was tired of running around with the prince during the mourning days, he did not delay eating and drinking, and did not reduce much, so Wang Ning's family was a little relieved.

I heard that this holiday was January, and Wang Ning recited "Amitabha", and it took half a day to give up.

Shun Niang was beside her, impatient to wait early, and when she saw that her grandmother finally let go, she immediately walked up to the idiot, touched his shoulders and arms, and sighed from time to time: "Erlang has grown an inch and a half." ”

When Zhang Qinghe came back from the township test, the two families would make a big decision, and the official marriage was scheduled for October. Shun Niang can stay at her mother's house for a few days, and she wants to sew two more sets of clothes for her grandmother and younger brother before going out.

Seeing her action, there was nothing that the idiot couldn't imagine.

He looked at Shunniang and saw the red blood in her eyes, and the blue and black under her eyes that had long disappeared were gone.

He frowned and said, "I don't want my sister to cut new clothes for me, as long as my sister raises a beautiful marriage." ”

Shun Niang was stunned for a moment, then her face was flushed, and she said, "Erlang's winter coat last year was smaller......"

Dao idiot said: "Then you don't have to worry about my sister, isn't it Arita's sister-in-law?" My sister-in-law and my grandmother's clothes can be taken over if they are willing to take them, and if they are not willing to take them, they will ask a tailor, so they don't need my sister to be ruthless. ”

Wang Ning was beside him, looked at Shunniang carefully, and said: "The Zhang family is a big surname, you are the new daughter-in-law, and you will have to send a lot of shoes and socks out when the time comes. Listen to your brother, don't be reckless, these days you are the time to recuperate, tomorrow I will ask the doctor to come over and prescribe you a few prescriptions to replenish your body. When you go out, you are not only the housewife, but also the host feed, and you will be tired when the time comes. ”

Shunniang blushed and bowed her head, and whispered: "Grandmother's winter coat, granddaughter has been sewn, Erlang's has also been cut, and the cotton pad is just afraid that Erlang's body is different, and he hasn't closed the edge yet." ”

Wang Ning was helpless and said, "Then let's finish it." If everything is ready for the dowry, you should stop sewing for a few days and take care of your spirits. ”

Hearing that Wang Ning was going to condition Shunniang's body, Dao Idiot took the package he brought back and opened it. Inside, there are several delicate cloisonné enamel boxes with lids, three inches in diameter and two inches high, which look like small bowls.

He took out an indigo-trimmed one and pushed it to Wang Ning's side, and the other two similar ones were put in front of Shunniang: "Grandmother's ginseng cream, and my sister's two boxes are pearl cream, both of which wipe your face and hands." After that, he took out two more boxes and said, "There are also one catty of bird's nest and two ginseng here, which are used by grandmother and sister to regulate their bodies." The ginseng paste and facial fat were given by Fan Yiren, and the ginseng bird's nest was given by the princess. ”

Since Shun Niang set up a marriage, the idiot wants to give Shun Niang a good life to recuperate. When I come back at the end of each month, I have to bring back some things such as bird's nest and white fungus that nourish yin and nourish the skin, under the pretense that it is given by the palace.

Although Wang Ning and Shunniang were a little uneasy, with Wang Qi's help to lie, the two grandparents believed it. After a year's hard work, Shun Niang's complexion has improved a lot, and her skin is much more delicate, but her hands are still slightly rough.

The things in the shop outside, the idiot has also gone to see it, and he is still not at ease; What he brought back when he came back this time was what he specifically asked Fan Yiren for.

Fan Yiren knew that he was preparing for his sister, so he not only prepared these for him, but also promised to give him four more boxes next month.

And the bird's nest and ginseng brought back this time were really given by the royal government, not bought from outside. Not only he has it, but everyone else has a share in it.

In the past year, the Taoist idiot has often brought things to his home, and Wang Ning, who has been coming and going, no longer nagging.

The grandfather and grandson were talking, when they heard a movement in the second gate.

After a while, Lamei came in and said, "The old lady of the sect has sent a car to invite the son over." ”

When Wang Ning heard this, he said to the idiot: "It's okay for you to go and see, Xuan Erlangqin should return to Beijing after his errand." The old patriarch summoned you over, most likely because he wanted your brothers to kiss each other. ”

The Taoist idiot answered, and went out to get into the carriage of the sect.

For some reason, he always felt that this call was not a matter of seeing Wang Xuan; Wang Xuan, as a messenger, has been in the palace these days, and he has met him as a Taoist idiot. The two brothers also chatted for a while.

Wang Xuan also had a lot of encouragement for Taoist idiots to have the heart of the imperial examination, and also gave some advice on the precautions during the hospital examination.

Looking at his posture, even if there was a slight setback when he first entered the office, he still looked very confident. In time, maybe it will be the second master of the second sect.

The Taoist idiot somewhat understands the reason for the prosperity of the clan, in the final analysis, it is because of the family rule that the eldest son and eldest grandson run the family temple and are not allowed to go out.

The eldest son cannot go out, and the second son, the third son, etc., who support the future of the family. When the eldest son is there, the brother will help; When it comes to the eldest grandchildren, they have to rely on their uncles and cousins. The main branch is weak, the side branch is strong, and the position of the patriarch is delicate. In order to break the game, he just desperately cultivated his own brothers and sons to study hard.

As they come and go, there are more and more children of the sect......
