The Mid-Autumn Festival has only passed a few days, the atmosphere of reunion and festivity has not yet dissipated, and the Huaien Mansion sent someone to report the funeral, and the old lady of Huaien died of illness. When the eldest princess of Chengyang heard the news, she sighed faintly and said, "She is also gone, and our generation is going to go one by one." ”

Death is inevitable, and people will have that day after all. The men of the Yu family who were officials in the court folded their requests for Ding Wei, and the Holy Lord allowed them to ask for Ding Wei's fold, so that they could concentrate on staying in the mansion to prepare for the funeral of the old lady.

The old lady Huaien is a good order, or today's uncle, the palace not only gave silk gold, but also ordered the prince, the princess, and the grandson Tang Luan to come to the door in person to mourn. The wives of officials from various provinces also came to the door to offer condolences, and Fu Zhixing and Yan Hao took Yue'er to accompany An Guogong and Han.

"Condolences and change." These are the words that are often used to mourn the families of the deceased.

"Thank you for coming to mourn, in addition to grief, it is too late to be righteous, if there is anything inconsiderate, please understand." Huai Engong's voice was hoarse. In fact, at this time, no one will pick a funeral ceremony.

The men of the Yu family are all worried, and their vacated official positions naturally have to find a successor, and the predecessor can recommend a successor. King Lu felt that this was a good opportunity, and during the pendulum, he came to pay his respects every day.

King Lu also said to Huai En: "Qian Tongyi has served in the Ministry of Rites for many years and knows a lot about the rituals of the court. When the king of Tibet came, he was also in charge of reception. This is a hint that Huai Engong, who is the secretary of Honglu Temple, can nominate Qian Tongyi as his successor.

Gong Huaien pretended not to understand and did not answer his words.

King Lu went to find the rest of the Yu family again, and he hinted that the other party pretended not to understand. When he said it clearly, the other party arched his hand and said, "Everything is subject to the will of God." ”

King Lu, who failed to get his wish, was so angry that he went back and smashed a set of tea sets, "It's hateful, these boring Yu family, the Queen Mother's Yu Yin can't shelter them for long, what do they have to do." ”

The staff persuaded: "Lord Wang, please calm your anger." ”

"Lord Wang, the saint is in good health, and he has been in power for at least ten years, you don't have to be so anxious, although the people who are being wooed by the prince are all five or six officials, it seems that it is not very important now, but after more than ten years, they will definitely become the backbone of the court, why should the prince worry about big things at that time?" The old staff stroked his beard and smiled incomprehensibly.

Originally, King Lu, who was still a little shy in his pocket, after receiving strong funding from Qiu Wuye, used his money to win over many money-hungry five- and six-grade officials. It went too smoothly, which made King Lu a little carried away, and now as soon as the old staff persuaded him, he came back to his senses, "You're right, it's this king who is too impatient." ”

After the twenty-first year, the old lady entered the earth for peace, and the Yu family kept filial piety at home and closed the door to thank guests.

Immediately afterwards, there was a five-day court meeting, and officials above the fifth rank in Beijing were eligible to participate. In the Qinzheng Palace, there are officials of all sizes, and it is much more lively than the usual small court. At this court meeting, the saint decided who would take over the vacant official position vacated by the Yu family's male ding.

The son of Engong was promoted to the commander of Yanwei Tongzhi, promoted to the supervisor of the Forest Academy to be the secretary of the Honglu Temple, promoted to the experience of the Imperial Court of the Criminal Department Langzhong, promoted to the Ministry of Rites Langzhong, and promoted the prefect of Hangzhou City to the right Siqing of Dali Temple......

After a transfer, the prince and King Lu have their own gains, and if you calculate it carefully, of course, the prince will profit more. After retreating from the dynasty and returning home, King Lu, who was in a good mood, rarely cared about Princess Lu, "Your face is not very good these days, but have you asked the imperial doctor to see it?" ”

"Lord Xie is worried, I have asked the imperial doctor to see it, and I am taking medicine, but I am sick like a thread, and I haven't recovered so quickly." Princess Lu smiled faintly.

"Next month, your grandmother's birthday, is the birthday gift ready?" King Lu asked.

"It's ready, can the prince of the gift list take a look?" Princess Lu asked.

"You don't need to, you do things, this king can rest assured, on that day, this king will go with you." King Lu took the teacup and took a sip.

Princess Lu's eyebrows frowned slightly, but she said, "If the prince goes, grandmother will be happy." ”

On the afternoon of the tenth day of the ninth lunar month, Yan ran in in a panic, "Auntie, I'm so scared." ”

"What's wrong? But did your cousin scare you? Yan Hagi reached out and took her into his arms.

"It's not Cousin Yue, it's a few big rats that suddenly popped out of the corner just now." Yan Xian patted his chest, "I'm so afraid, I'm so afraid." ”

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, my aunt protects Xi'er." Yan Hagi smiled and soothed her.

Xiaocao also said: "It's strange to say, in the past two days, rats have always come out of the corner, and I heard that the dogs raised by the old country often bark non-stop." ”

Yan Hao's heart jumped, and he faintly felt that something was wrong. At this time, the water chestnut who was supposed to send the pastries in came in empty-handed, "Young lady, I don't know what's going on, there is a lot of mud and sand in the well water?" It's like yellow mud. ”

Rats scurried, dogs barked, and the well water became muddy. How can these anomalies be so similar to the precursors of an earthquake? The "Geographical Chronicles" once recorded that there was a ground movement in Yanjing, which indicates that Yanjing should be in an earthquake zone, and it is not uncommon for ground movements to occur again.

"Wrap up, you follow Sister Xiaocao and them, and my aunt has something to do to go to the princess's mansion." Before Yan Hagi went to the princess's mansion, he found "Academic Geoscience" in the study and turned to the chapter on "The Omen of the Earthquake".

Yan Hagi came to the princess's mansion and went to the study to find the old man, "Grandfather, granddaughter-in-law have something to report." ”

"What's wrong?" The old man asked.

"Grandfather, look at this." Yan Hagi handed him the book, "I just came down and said that the well water has turned into mud. It is the first of the light of the earthquake, the well water is quiet and waveless, and it is like ink sweat, and the mud is floating, which is bound to be earthquake. ”

"Xiaoxiao, the ground is moving, and the well water alone is not enough to prove it." The old country is fair.

"Rats scurrying out of their holes in broad daylight, dogs not entering the nest, barking incessantly, can these be used as evidence?" Yan Hagi asked.

The old man pinched the book in his hand and was silent for a long time. Yan Hagi didn't rush him, waiting for him to think it through. After a while, the old man made up his mind, "I'll go to the East Palace, you go and talk to your grandmother and your mother, move the things out of the warehouse, and go to the suburbs to take refuge." ”

"Grandfather, do you want to inform your relatives and friends?" Yan Hagi asked.

"Tell me, believe it or not." The old prince took the book to the East Palace, Yan Hao hurriedly found the eldest princess of Chengyang and the Han family, and as soon as he told the matter, the entire Anguo Mansion was busy.

Yan Hagi sent people to the Yan family, the Han family, the Rong Wangfu, the Tanglin County Palace, the Pingguo Mansion, the British Mansion and the Bao family to spread the news. Taifu Yan and King Lao Rong also noticed the abnormality, and when they received the news, they also hurriedly packed up their things and went to the suburbs.

Eight or nine families went to the suburbs so loudly, attracting the attention of other provinces, the summer has passed, the winter has not arrived, and those who do not escape the heat or cold are going to the suburbs to do something?
