After returning to the Zhuzhu Pavilion, Song Yixiao asked about the succession in the ancestral hall today, and said simply: "It's just a formality - a few elders in the middle said that there are not many heirs in the second house, and although there are only two concubines in the big house, there are already several grandchildren, so it is better to pass the heirs from the big house to the third room, or other families in the clan also have many heirs." Grandfather said mother...... said that the second aunt had agreed, and the elders stopped talking. ”

Even Song Yixiao, the lady of the country, can arouse onlookers outside the ancestral hall, and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is even more high, even if the people of the Jian clan are a little careful, how can they dare to disobey?

Jian Xubai said again: "Outside the ancestral hall today, what are you talking about so lively? ”

"The elders of the clan came up to speak, I thought it would be bad to ignore it, and there was an eldest aunt on the side, so I greeted them and asked Qingyue to give them a salute." Song Yi smiled and said with annoyance, "I don't want to disturb the ancestral hall." ”

"Originally, this kind of thing, not to mention performing the ceremony a few times in advance, how can you follow the top and bottom of the ancestral hall to explain the duties of each person." Jian Xubai sighed, "Dad is right, the Jian family is shallow, how can there be any rules and regulations, you don't have to take it to heart, anyway, Dad doesn't care, what do other people think?" ”

As he was talking, the maid outside came in to say goodbye, and said, "The old lady said that I will let my grandfather go to the back hall for dinner today." ”

Jian Xubai glanced at his wife and said, "Just me?" ”

"The old lady said that there are some things to discuss with the male heirs of the family." The maid said euphemistically, "And the ladies are tired of waiting outside the ancestral hall for a long time today." ”

Song Yixiao didn't care: "In that case, I'll take Qingyue and Zhuo'er for dinner." ”

Now that the succession has been completed, Jian Pingyu and Jian Likuang are almost on the road - on this eye joint, this grandfather will inevitably leave a will, and he must also have something to tell his children and grandchildren, she has a granddaughter-in-law, with a two-year-old daughter, and it is estimated that she will go to the same as outside the ancestral hall today, but as a foil.

It's better to stay in the Bead Pavilion!

When the time came to the evening, Jian Xubai went to the back hall, Song Yixiao took the two children to dinner, and seeing that they were still in good spirits, he asked someone to take the tangram, vacate the long case in the hall, and accompany them to play with the tangram.

After fighting for a while, I looked up by chance, but saw that in the twilight of the wind lamp under the corridor, the silver color was fluttering, like the wind blowing willow catkins, flying all over the court.

It's snowing.

"Why haven't you slept yet?" Song Yixiao beckoned the two children to the glass window, led them to see the snow, and suddenly saw two subordinates carrying lamps and leading Jian Xubai in.

He took off his coat under the porch, and a layer of snow had accumulated on the coat that pinched the gold thread. The wet place took on a shocking dark red, which looked like blood under the lamp, and his face became more and more jade-like and fat-like.

At this moment, while stepping into the threshold, he said to his wife and two children, "It's so late, they actually have spirit?" ”

"I just wanted to see the snow and send them back to the house to settle down, but I didn't want to see it now." When Song Yi said this with a smile, Jian Qingyue, who was already a little sleepy, saw that his father was coming again, and he was tired of reaching out to hug him: "Dad!" ”

Jian Xubai picked up her daughter and said with a smile: "Dad will send you back to the room to rest, okay?" ”

As he spoke, he leaned over and hugged Lu Zhuo'er as well-Song Yixiao hurriedly asked someone to bring two blankets and wrap them in the two children, "It's snowing outside, freeze carefully!" ”

Jian Xubai sent the two girls to settle down, and when he came back, he talked to his wife about the dinner in the back hall tonight: "Actually, there is nothing else, just to divide our home." ”

Song Yixiao became more and more determined when she heard this, Jian Pingyu already knew the ins and outs, and this was arranging the aftermath.

It's just that what she didn't expect was to get up early the next morning and receive the news: "The old lady has gone!" ”

When Jian Pingyu came out of the ancestral hall the day before, he was still energetic and ruddy, and it would not be a problem to live for more than ten years, but he swallowed his breath before dawn today-the whole Jian family was naturally surprised and inexplicable.

But the people here don't know the situation in the imperial capital, so they are surprised, and they don't have any suspicions, and they think: "Maybe the old lady has been dead for a long time, and the good looks since these days are just a return to the light." Hold on until the return of the children and grandchildren, the great-grandchildren and great-granddaughters have seen, and the third room also has an heir, and the wish is over, can it not last? ”

After all, Jian Pingyu used to be a very popular minister, and he was the father-in-law of the eldest princess, after his death, according to common sense, he should have mourning, and he had to tell the court.

The news of the funeral reached the imperial capital, and the people who didn't know it in the imperial capital also felt that it was no wonder that Jian Pingyu suddenly wanted to pass Jian Xubai to the third room, and he knew that time was running out, and he wanted to solve the problem of the three rooms without heirs before he joined the family.

In this way, the rumors that speculated about what the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom had to say between Jian Limiao and Jian Limiao were diluted.

However, Jian Ping has been enjoying his career for a long time, and he has not had much contact with the DPRK and China over the years.

So when they heard that he was dead, most people would just listen to it, and at most they would send the funeral order to the eldest princess's mansion or the mansion of the Duke of Yan - only those who have special origins will send people to Liaozhou to mourn.

But Wei Xi had a headache, and he specifically found Gu Shao to ask for advice: "At today's court meeting, someone openly mentioned Jian Lezhi's death, saying that he wanted the Ministry of Rites to discuss his mourning. Your Majesty gave me this mission, however...... I don't know what to do, so I can only ask Gu Xiang for advice! ”

Originally, when an old minister like Jian Pingyu died, what treatment should be given, the Ministry of Rites has its own set of procedures copied from Yong in the past, and it is enough to go through the motions, and there is no need to worry about Wei Xi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

The problem is that it was Wei Xi who found Jian Pingyu and Jian Likuang in the matter of smallpox in Cuihua Mountain.

This is Emperor Duanhua's murderous enemy!

Regardless of whether Wei Xi believes in this truth or not, Emperor Duanhua still believes in it!

Then now I have to give Jian Pingyu grief - how can Wei Xi not worry that he will follow the rules on his front foot, and he will be angry with Emperor Duanhua on his back foot?

"It's a real nuisance." Gu Shao originally deducted the charge of smallpox on Jian Pingyu's father and son, mainly to deal with his "political crisis", so he personally did not object to giving Jian Pingyu grief, anyway, this old opponent would have died, if it were not for the mood of Emperor Duanhua, Gu Shao was also ready to propose to seal him to show his magnanimity.

But now Wei Xi begged to come to the door, this is the father of the queen and the grandfather of the prince, and he also helped him a lot in the matter of smallpox, and he can't ignore it, so he thought for a moment and said, "In this way, although Jian Pingyu is an old minister, he is also the in-laws of the empress dowager, why don't you invite Mrs. Zun into the palace, and ask the empress to ask the empress dowager to tell me what the empress dowager means?" ”

The Empress Dowager is Emperor Duanhua's grandmother, as long as she is willing to express her position, how can Emperor Duanhua think carefully, no matter what the result is, she can't complain about Weixi, right?

Wei Xi suddenly realized, thanked Gu Shao, and hurriedly went back to the house to discuss with the Tian family.

Tian entered the palace and relayed the matter to Empress Wei, and the queen naturally did not shirk it, and directly led her mother to meet the empress dowager.

The Empress Dowager said noncommittally when she heard this: "Since the father-in-law of the Jin Kingdom is gone, she should be called over!" ”

Empress Wei saw that the Empress Dowager planned to discuss the matter with the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom alone, so she retired.

Half a day later, the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom was summoned to the palace, talked with the Empress Dowager behind closed doors for most of the day, and went to the Empress Dowager Su to spread the news twice, and finally invited Emperor Duanhua to be present.

The result of the discussion of the royal family is this: since Jian Pingyu is most concerned about his children and grandchildren at the last moment of his life, then he himself will not give mourning, but convert it to his children and grandchildren - since Jian Pingyu is dead, there is no need for him to crawl out of the coffin to thank him.

And the grace converted to Jian Pingyu's descendants, all four children have a share:

The eldest daughter Jian Lizhi is now the wife of the squire, and she is ordered to be a lady of the fourth grade, and because of the funeral of her father, she was crowned as the lady of Heyang County of the third grade;

The eldest son Jian is worried about having no official or position, and he is a Zhongsan doctor on the five products, and his wife Gao is a five-product Shuoren.

It's normal so far.

When the second son Jian Likuang came here, the people up and down were stunned.

Because of the compensation for the second room of the Jian family......

All of them were given to the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom!

Her Royal Highness the eldest princess not only didn't go back before, but now she heard that her father-in-law died, and she didn't have the slightest intention of going back to Liaozhou to mourn her father-in-law, let alone tell her father-in-law about filial piety - the external explanation is still the same thing: "The old prince has experienced three dynasties, and the queen mother of the palace is the same generation, and now that she has died, the queen mother is reminded of the past, and her mood is getting worse and worse, and the palace is really not at ease!" Therefore, on the side of Liaozhou, please ask the horse and the son of the palace to do filial piety, and the palace should stay in the imperial capital to serve the queen mother! ”

So since you have to go into the palace often to serve the queen mother, it is naturally not good to wear filial piety!

Although the woman who said that the pavilion was her husband's family, no one dared to say that Jian Pingyu was more important than the Queen Mother, so everyone could only praise the eldest princess for her pure filial piety and not forget the Queen Mother's nurturing grace.

But no matter how you say it, the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom is also indebted to Jian Pingyu's father-in-law, as a result, the father-in-law's grief and honor are divided into two rooms, and it has become a reward for her......

Well-informed people heard that when the Empress Dowager and they discussed, they sent someone to contact the Empress Dowager Su, and they all felt that they had seen the truth: the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom did not like Jian Likuang, so Jian Pingyu's grief was not given to Jian Likuang, and it was reasonable; Then Jian Yiyou, the third son of the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, tossed the eldest princess of Changxing to a miserable and miserable request for reconciliation, so even if Emperor Duanhua and the eldest princess of Changxing are different mothers, and they are normal brothers, who would like to lose their own sister's brother-in-law? !

It's no wonder that the father and son in the second room of the Jian family didn't catch anything!

In contrast, the three rooms of the Jian family can be seen by blind people, and the empress dowager has pulled a bias for her grandson who was raised by herself: she directly gave Jian Qingyue a Chaoping county lord!

This result was polished into a holy decree by the Ministry of Rites, and sent to Liaozhou after being sealed, and the faces of the Jian family can be imagined!

However, the blow of the second room is not over: two days after receiving the order, Jian Li fell into the lake on a snowy night and drowned in the courtyard where he lived!
