"Grandmother, let's talk about something else.

Belch...... I heard that the prince seems to be about to marry the princess recently, and she is still the daughter of the Niu family.

What a congratulatory gift should I give! ”

Speaking of marriage and the person he likes, Jia Yu is inevitably a little uncomfortable, but because the person he said is his grandmother, he can only bluntly divert the topic.

Use the most familiar prince to divert the topic.

Qiao Mu saw through his mind at a glance, but he didn't pierce it: "Send what you want to give."

Your congratulatory gift is only a private gift, and the prince will not care too much about whether it is precious or not, only depends on his heart.

The congratulatory gifts in the house are your father's worries.

The Niu family is the town of the country.

It seems that it should be the eldest granddaughter of Zhenguo Niu Qing, Niu Xiangan, I thought that the prince would marry the king of Beijing, or the Wang family of Nan'an County, but I didn't expect to choose the Niu family, it seems that the prince should also feel some holy jealousy. ”

Although Jia Yu was young, it didn't mean that he couldn't understand, and after listening to Qiao Mu's words at this time, he hurriedly asked, "Grandmother, are you saying that the saint is jealous......

However, how is this possible, the saint has always favored the prince, there are eight or nine princes in the Manchu dynasty, and only the prince is brought up by the saint. ”

"You're still too young, just don't think too much about it, I'll tell your father when I look back, even if the saint is jealous, he shouldn't take action in more than ten years, let's talk about it."

If you're fine, look at the history books.

Or persuade the prince to read the history books.

It is always good to read more history books.

Let me teach you an old Western saying, there is nothing new under the sun, and what happened in the past will inevitably happen again in the future, and it has always been. ”

Qiao Mu didn't intend to talk too much to Jia Yu.

Some things still have to be thought about for themselves.

You have to find out for yourself.

"Oh, I see!"

Jia Yu is good at this, obedient.

Let not ask, do not ask.

Chatting here, Qiao Mu suddenly heard a bell that rang through the capital, the bell was crisp and loud, deafening, and then the bell kept coming, when the bell rang more than nine times, Qiao Mu knew that something was wrong, and began to count.

It was not until twenty-seven o'clock that the bell stopped.

"It seems to be the Queen Mother!

Forgiveness, help me go out and call Zhu Yu, and ask her to help bring the edict suit, there should be a will in the palace later, and you have to prepare it in advance. ”

"Grandmother, why the Queen Mother?"

Jia Yu was a little puzzled.

"Twenty-seven bells in the palace, this is the meaning of the state funeral, only the emperor, the queen, the queen mother and the queen mother are eligible, the queen mother is still young and in good health, if something happens to the emperor, it should be martial law in the capital first, and then the bell will be ringed, and the queen mother was in poor health last year, who else could she be?

You should be prepared too.

As the eldest son, you also have to go into the palace with your father to mourn the empress dowager, change your clothes with me, Mama He's family, you are here, quickly take out the white cloth in the public treasury, and at the same time let people put away all the festive things in the house.

You should understand the rules of national mourning.

Just follow the old routine. ”

Qiao Mu first explained to Jia Yu, and then saw that Mama He's house had already walked in, and quickly instructed him to start changing the arrangement according to the old routine.

"Yes, old lady!

Madame's side is going to send someone to inform? ”

Mama He continued to ask.

"Send someone to inform her, she hasn't experienced it, she should understand, Zhuyu, you should hurry up, take the clothes of the eldest young master and change them on my side, by the way, prepare Dai Shan's clothes, he will have to come back and change them later."

Qiao Mu continued to command.

I've experienced this a few times.

So Qiao Mu knows the process very well.

Nature seems to be at ease.

Easy and decent.

With Qiao Mu's order, all the subordinates of the entire Rongguo Mansion were busy, and began to be busy cleaning up and changing the decorations in the mansion, all the festive things had to be changed, even the red porcelain had to be replaced with a plain blue and white color, and all the subordinates had to re-tailor their clothes, and replace the festive colors on their bodies with plain colors, but they didn't have to change them to black and white, but they also had to change to cold colors, and all the jewelry had to be taken off.

In addition, there are many things that need to be changed, that is, it took Qiao Mu himself a while to remove all the things that should not exist on his body, including the jewelry on his head and all the makeup on his face.

Lady is not allowed to wear makeup or jewelry during the state funeral, of course, the lining between the bun can still be used, but all kinds of messy hairpins and tassels cannot be inserted.

But fortunately, according to the customary tradition of replacing the day with the moon, the arbor and their ladies only need to mourn for three days, and although they can't change into festive decorations after three days, they can finally put on a little makeup and wear some plain jewelry.

It won't be unkempt.

Waiting for Qiao Mu to get ready, Jia Daishan also hurried back from the office yamen, and as soon as he came in, he changed into the clothes he should wear under the service of his subordinates, and then said to Qiao Mu worriedly:

"Mother, don't go.

I'll go report to you, you have been in a coma for the past two days, and you just woke up today, it is not easy to go to the palace to cry and mourn, and it is not that the old lady has fainted in the past, I am really not worried about your body, so let me take leave.

I think the Holy One will understand. ”

"It's okay, I think I'm okay.

Besides, the Empress Dowager is the grandmother of the Holy Lord today, if I don't go, what will the Holy Lord think, don't worry, it's okay, you hurry up and send someone to prepare the carriage, the Shi side should also be ready, and the four of us will go over together. ”

Qiao Mu knows very well that in terms of his own identity, even if he goes to the scene, he will inevitably have special care, like them, even if they enter the palace to cry, it must be in the palace, kneeling on the soft couch and crying, and will never be like some three or four ladies who can only cry outside the palace, kneeling on the cold white marble floor.

So, naturally, there is nothing to worry about.

When you go to fashion, you just need to cry twice.

Qiao Mu still has this acting skills.

Jia Daishan really couldn't resist Qiao Mu, so he could only agree, and when Jia Shishi came here, he repeatedly told Jia Shishi to take care of Qiao Mu.

If there is anything, you must call the doctor in time.

After that, I was relieved to get into the carriage.

and parted at the gate of the palace.

The places where officials and their dependents stayed were different, and the places where they mourned were also different, and the women could enter the inner court, and the officials could only cry twice symbolically outside, and listen to the edict and admonishment.

Crying and mourning is a very tiring thing.

The most important thing is that many ladies of the Decree even compared, if you cry once, I will cry twice, if you cry wet sleeves, I will cry wet both sleeves, you grieve because of the death of the Empress Dowager and don't want to eat, I will grieve because of the death of the Empress Dowager and go on a hunger strike for three days.

It seems that this is the only way to show their loyalty, to show their grief.

One by one is really better than the play.
