Old Madam Zhou's hand trembled again, she looked down at her hand for a long time, but she still couldn't help but tremble. She is a talented daughter with no family background, her initial dream was to marry a hard-working man, and live like this for the rest of her life, an ordinary life. When she got married, her husband was nothing more than a newly drafted soldier, and she never thought about it that much.

The illiterate soldier would marry her because she was Xiucai's daughter, and she had read books, so she would probably be a little smart. Then everything developed in a direction she didn't dare to imagine, she became the wife of an official, she gave birth to a promising eldest son, and won her a fate. When her children and grandchildren grew up, she thought that this was the case with her life, she was already very satisfied, and she was already content to go from an ordinary talented daughter to this point.

But I didn't expect that at this age, my eldest son stood in front of me and said such a call to her.

"We can't stand." Old Madam Zhou sighed and lowered her head, "What are the sons and nephews of the family like, I don't know yet?" Tongzhi, you want too much. "It's so big that it's scary to think about it.

"I can't stand now, but what about after that?" Wei Tongzhi was unwilling to give up, "Mother, not always have such an opportunity. How many years will our old Wei family have to wait for another six girls. ”

"This is an opportunity. Stand first, your feet are always standing firm step by step, when today's Chang'an magnates were prosperous, which one was not like us now? ”

……

After the sound of conversation in the house, it was quiet, and Mrs. Zhou never let go until the end, but was silent for a long time before she spoke: "Everything will be said when the sixth girl comes back." ”

Wei Tongzhi accepted it when he saw it, and he didn't say anything more.

……

……

On the seventh day of the Technique of the Stars, the stars twinkled tonight, and you could see the trajectory of the stars in the sky without the help of clairvoyance. A star as big as a bright bucket flashed in the sky and gradually disappeared.

In Chang'an City, people come and go on the Huangtian Road, the diners who talk loudly in the Baisheng Building, the literati who wantonly sway their literary talents in the middle of the wine and ink, and the beautiful lady who speaks in the fairy pavilion...... The prosperity of the Chang'an night is vividly displayed on the Yellow Sky Road.

In the prosperous era of Great Chu, Chang'an never sleeps. The night lights in the hands of passers-by swirl in the night breeze, creating a period of brilliant light and shadow.

The people of Chang'an live and work in peace and contentment, and the people's livelihood is peaceful.

Yin He Taiping of Chang'an Mansion stood on the side of the street, and it was rare that he did not sort out the official business in his hand tonight, but stood here in a daze. Lu'an on the side stomped his feet a little uneasily, he was a rough man, and he was also a subordinate, his mind was not so exquisite, and what he had to do was simple, that is, obey He Taiping's orders.

But tonight's He Taiping is a little different, standing on the side of Chang'an Street without speaking for a long time.

"Your Excellency......" Lu'an shouted tentatively.

"I'm waiting." He Taiping raised his head and looked at the sky, "This official doesn't have the same great ability as the people of the Yin and Yang Division of the Qin Heavenly Prison, but this official is waiting, waiting for a news." ”

He Taiping stood still, and Lu'an didn't dare to speak again.

This is two hours, the most prosperous time of the Chang'an night has passed, and there are a lot fewer diners in Baisheng Building, but Huixian Pavilion and Jiumoju are still lively.

A bell rings. He Taiping, who had stood in place for a long time, finally moved, turned around, and looked in the direction of the Bell and Drum Tower.

At first, it was just a faint sound, except for the vicinity of the Bell and Drum Tower, the place next to it couldn't really be heard at all, let alone the lively and noisy Huang Tiandao. But then, one after the other, each longer than the last.

Gradually, the noise around me decreased considerably, and many people looked in the direction where the bell came from.

It is the bell and drum tower that is ringing the bell, it has been ringing for most of the hour, around Chang'an, but everywhere in the city where the hanging bell is hung has begun to ring the bell.

Is this what is going on?

The people in Chang'an City were startled by the sound of the bell one after another, and they all looked around in panic, it was not yet late at night, and many people had not fallen asleep, of course, even if they fell asleep, the sound of the bell one after another had already woken up most of the people in the city.

"Let's go!" He Taiping sighed, "The plain clothes are ready." ”

……

……

Compared with the movements in Chang'an City, the palace is actually the first place to know about things.

In fact, the bell rang after the seven lights on the seven-star lantern array in the main hall were extinguished. After guarding for seven days, it was finally over, the Jinluan Hall was very quiet, and the people in the hall bowed their heads to clean up the seven-star lantern array in the hall and walked out of the main hall.

Li Dequan had already come in a hurry.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...... went. Li Dequan looked sad, and asked the palace people behind him to change into plain clothes for them, "Come with our family!" ”

The girl silently put on the plain clothes outside, followed Li De's body, and knelt outside the dormitory.

His Majesty's maiden bowed her head and knelt quietly, they knelt far ahead, and in a short time, the Chinese military officials would come one after another. His Majesty attaches great importance to His Royal Highness the Prince, so when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince dies, most of them will be handled with the ceremony of a state funeral.

Crying and mourning is the sadness in the hearts of the living and the thoughts of the deceased, compared to the howling and crying of ordinary palace people for no reason, several heavenly masters of the Yin and Yang Division who deal with dead things are calm. After all, no one knows more about life and death than they do.

Many officials got up from their beds in a hurry and entered the palace, but there were also some people who had already received the news, so they didn't sleep at all tonight, such as the Wei family.

Wei Tongzhi was dressed in plain clothes, and he went to the west courtyard next door to call people over.

When he was called over at night, the West Courtyard naturally complained a lot.

Wei Tongzhi disagreed: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has passed away." ”

As soon as these words came out, the old lady Huang who was complaining was taken aback.

"Still want to be introduced?" Wei Tongzhi sneered, and his eyes fell on the pair of twin sisters behind Old Madam Huang, "The prince is gone, pay attention to your words and deeds." If you want to die, this official will not stop you! After that, he glanced at the festive robe on Mrs. Huang's body again, "You need to pay attention to food, clothing, housing and transportation." ”

This sentence successfully frightened Mrs. Huang to tremble, and her whole person wilted, and she didn't dare to say anything more and went back to the West Courtyard.

National funeral, Your Majesty strikes for three days. The whole city mourns.

……

Although she had entered Chang'an ten days ago, it was not until this moment that she set foot in the house, her plain clothes had not been taken off, and there was obvious tiredness between her eyebrows. Although the girl's age is the time when the color, complexion, and spirit are excellent, but in such a continuous rotation, people are still a little unbearable, and they almost fall down one by one.

The house was unexpectedly quiet, and the jujube cake brought hot water for her, and after the girl washed, she lay down and fell asleep.

Jujube Cake closed the door intimately, and then walked into Rongtaiyuan and replied: "Miss is asleep." ”

"It's been so many days, can you not get tired?" Old Madam Zhou looked worried, "Don't let others disturb her, when the sixth girl wakes up, you can come back and talk back." 2k reading network
