Chapter 360: The Dying Mother-in-law Jia (6)
Those fateful ladies are just good at their own play.
The key is that the above also cooperates with them.
In order to show their filial piety, the queen mother and the queen also specially rewarded those who cried more badly, and gave them some rewards or something, which directly caused some of the other ladies to cry even harder, and even a few older ones fainted directly from crying.
I almost didn't die on the spot.
It was only then that the older ladies were a little more restrained, and they were willing to show their loyalty, but this did not mean that they were willing to give up their lives for the sake of loyalty.
So, of course, we have to be more converging.
From ancient times to the present, I have never heard of a lady who has been promoted because she cried so much at the national funeral, so naturally there is no need to work hard.
It is obviously impossible for Qiao Mu to cry loudly with others, to be precise, all the ladies above the first rank only cry indifferently twice.
Then there is either silence.
Or chant Buddhist scriptures in a low voice.
Don't care about the crying outside.
Some of them were really tired, so they went directly to the soft couch and paralyzed on the spot, and then waited for the palace maid on the side to help call the imperial doctor and go to the side hall to rest.
These days are three days after they have passed.
In the three days, in addition to the need to cry for a while every day, the food was also very poor, only the lightest white porridge and pickles, mixed with pickles or vegetable oil, not even a salted duck egg, because during the national funeral, vegetarianism is a must.
Qiao Mu's body had not eaten for several days because of illness, and after waking up, he only drank some porridge at noon, and then drank porridge in the palace for three meals a day.
Let her experience what it is like to be hungry.
Fortunately, I only need to survive for three days on this day.
Three days later, all the Lady Decree was liberated and could go home to rest, and then, they only needed to come over again on the day of the funeral, but in order to express their condolences, most of the Lady Decree would still burn some incense and candles in the house, or copy some Pudu Buddhist scriptures or something, although no one necessarily checked, but the attitude still had to be there, so as not to be gossiped about.
Qiao Mu can only follow the crowd, drink some medicinal food without meat in his spare time, or copy two copies of the Sutra of Reincarnation, and reluctantly express his condolences.
As for the plan that originally planned to help Jia Yu quickly settle the family affair between him and the Zhang family's daughter-in-law, he could only ignore it for the time being and wait for it later, after all, during the national funeral, the marriage of relatives was not allowed for 100 days, and this matter could only be postponed.
Don't talk about Jia Amnesty.
Even the prince's marriage has to be postponed.
Because of the national funeral, the whole capital looked a little solemn, until thirteen days later, the emperor's mourning period expired, the court began to operate again, and the government departments also started again, but this is not the end, many things still can't be done, banquets and gatherings have to be canceled, if you want to really restore the original appearance, you have to wait for a hundred days.
I have to wait for a hundred days before the Empress Dowager enters the mausoleum.
Enter the mausoleum of Emperor Taizu.
However, ordinary people should be a little more relaxed in this regard, a month is enough, after all, the people have to live, and many shops have to make a living, and if they really stop for more than three months, I am afraid that many shops will have to close down, and the private economy will suffer heavy losses.
In fact, even during the month of the civil national mourning, there were some small shops with bad luck that closed down directly, or had a large deficit.
For example, a butcher who has just invested all his wealth into a batch of wedding objects, or a butcher who has just bought a batch of sheep and is ready to slaughter and sell it, will not be able to do their business within a month, and if they do not have enough capital or have no money to spare, they can only go out of business and sell it cheaply.
However, the national situation is like this, and it can only be like this.
The above may also feel that they are very lenient with the people, they want to keep filial piety for 100 days, and the people only need to keep filial piety for 30 days, but they don't want to think about it, they don't want to say 100 days, even if there is no money in the account for 1,000 days, but the people have no income for three or two days, and the family has to be embarrassed.
This is also the reason why many Ming monarchs are advocating the simplification of funerals and the simplification of national funerals.
……
100 days is not a long time, at least the arbor is quite comfortable, and every day there is a use of the stone into a golden finger, mainly to send up every day, lack of medicinal effect, occasionally mixed with a little poisonous substance of the medicinal soup, transformed into gold, jade, gems or pearl jewelry.
Although the consumption is quite large, it is precisely this completely different transformation between substances that is most conducive to Qiao Mu's comprehension and comprehension of some of the laws of creation contained in the golden finger, and to increase her understanding of creation.
As for the poisoners.
Qiao Mu is really too lazy to debunk them, and he is even more reluctant to kill them directly, after all, if he really kills them quietly, wouldn't he cheapen them in vain, so Qiao Mu is very merciful and just uses his mental power to build a nightmare for Jia Shishi and Mama Lai every night, a different nightmare every day, and slowly tortures them.
Oh, no.
It should be for them to enjoy the things they have never had the opportunity to see in their lives before.
For example, zombies, such as they were caught by hungry people, cut and eaten, such as the scene of the eighteenth layer of hell, and all kinds of horror ghost movies.
Anyway, the arbor is idle.
And the old man doesn't sleep much, and he can't sleep in the middle of the night, so he constructs a new dream for the two of them to experience some excitement.
That's definitely merciful.
Everyone else is going to kill her, she just lets others have nightmares for a few days, this is not kindness, what is kindness, no matter how real the nightmare is, it is just a dream after all, and it will not hurt their physical bodies.
……
Rongxi Hall, inner wing
"Ahh Help me!
Ah~~ Don't kill me!
You all go away, all go away for me, all go away for me, get out of here...... Get lost...... Roll ......"
Jia Daishan was awakened again from his deep sleep.
Very irritable, he pushed Jia Shishi next to him impatiently, and scolded: "Wake me up!"
What are you dreaming about, as the saying goes, you don't do bad things in your life, you are not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night, how many bad things have you done, you will have nightmares all day long, the master has invited you, the monks and Taoists have invited you, the incense burner, the Buddha statue has also been installed for you, what do you want?
Tomorrow you will move me to the White Horse Temple.
Go to the temple and live.
Otherwise, you will be separated, you have nothing to do in the house, but I will order it every day.
Sleep on your own! ”
After speaking, Jia Daishan didn't care what kind of frightened expression Jia Shishi was beside him, straightened up and put on his clothes, greeted the servants waiting outside the door, and went to sleep in the side wing not far away.
