When Ma Qi and the others arrived at Ma Wu's mansion, it was already the end of the day, and the white curtains that could be seen everywhere made everyone's mood even heavier.

"Big brother, you're here." Ma Wu's wife, Qi Shi, stepped forward to greet her, wearing a burlap cloth without seams, her eyes were slightly puffy, and she could see how sad she was crying a few hours ago.

"I'm sorry for you." Ma Qi helped Qi Shi, nodded, and used the simplest words to interpret this woman with a dead husband.

Nalan then, seeing Qi through his uncle, couldn't help but think of his own Eniang, after Ama left, Eniang never cried again, that expressionless face, Nalan looked at his heart together, he could only hug his brother and cry loudly, wanting to cry out Eniang's tears, because she understood, she understood how painful Eniang's heart was, and at this moment, she also understood Qi's mood, and couldn't help but be a little gloomy.

"Lan'er." Ma Junru, who was standing on the side, called softly.

"Huh?"

"Let's go and change our clothes."

Nalan stopped talking, so he followed his brother to the back hall to change into filial piety clothes, wearing a gray linen, probably with some silk linen, but it looked a little soft.

"Lan'er, have you changed your clothes?"

"Brother, I'm fine, I'll come out."

Nalan walked out of the room and went to the hall with his brothers that had been covered by a white curtain, the wind in winter was a little chilly when it blew, and Nalan couldn't help but shrink his shoulders.

Because Fu Heng was still young, his uncle wanted him to come and go together, and Yi Yan was afraid of seeing this occasion, so he asked her to accompany Fu Heng at home.

The three of them entered the mourning hall together, and the coffin between them was placed horizontally in the main hall of the visit, next to the white flowers woven from the white cloth, and the three of them knelt down together, and it turned out to be juniors, there was no room to speak, only silently waiting for the arrangement.

After a while, he heard Mazzi's slightly hoarse but now loud voice.

"The slave greets Prince Yi, Prince Zhuang, the third elder brother, and the fourth elder brother."

"Say hello to the princes, little clumsy, and please forgive the princes." This was followed by Qi's voice.

"This time I came to serve the emperor's order to sacrifice wine for him, so I don't need to be polite." A voice like a bell came, listening to the words of the uncle just now, which prince should be this.

"Why is Prince Yi here?" Ma Qingan muttered quietly on the side.

"How can the king's heart for his courtiers know that it is still quietly filial piety." Ma Junru's response made Ma Qingan shut up.

"Ah, I came this time, and I also brought the emperor's holy decree, and the emperor said, you don't need to salute, just listen carefully."

"Yes."

"Ma Wu, the minister of the guard, has done his best to the court since he took office, and now orders the earl to give mercy, confer the third-class Adhaha, give sacrifices and burials, and be diligent. Chin this! ”

"Thank you, Lord Longen, long live the emperor, long live, long live!" Qi couldn't help shedding two lines of tears, his hands were raised, and Prince Yi put the yellow holy decree into Qi's hands, only to see those hands trembling slightly.

"Let's hurry up, our uncles and nephews still have to change their clothes before they can enter the mourning hall."

"Yes, yes, Lord, Brother, please here." Qi immediately stood up, held the holy decree in his arms, and ordered his subordinates on the side.

After Prince Yi, Prince Zhuang and a few elder brothers left, the Qi family came to Ma Qi's side and asked cautiously: "Big brother, I know that our lord does not have much official position in the imperial court, and he does not often interact with the princes, why now, send a few princes and elder brothers here to sacrifice wine, is there something wrong?" Qi was afraid that his question would lead to right and wrong, so he lowered his voice very low, if it weren't for the tips of Ma Qi's ears, I am afraid it would be difficult to hear clearly.

Ma Qi also had some doubts at the moment, but it was inconvenient to say to the Qi family, now more is better than less, so he said: "Brother and sister, you are cautious, the emperor attaches great importance to our Fucha family, it is our glory, you don't have to think about it, and nothing can happen." ”

The Qi family trusts Ma Qi, and when he saw Ma Qi say this, he also nodded and responded.

"Well, that's what the eldest brother said."

"I'll go change my clothes, and after the prince and them leave, I'll make a dojo."

"Yes."

"Are the kids back?" Ma Qi had just taken a few steps, turned his body again, and asked.

"They're all back, and they're all kneeling in front of them."

"That's good, that's good."
