Jia Yun led people to carry Jia Lian to the couch in a hurry. The high priest took out a silver needle and stabbed it at Jia Lian's people.After a while, Jia Lian opened his eyes in a daze.
Gao Fengfeng tentatively asked: "Second Master, do you remember the old man?"
Jia Lian twitched the corners of his mouth and struggled to sit up, "Gao Feng, my father?"
"My condolences to the second grandfather."
Jia Lian stood there blankly, looking at the few people who were busy in front of the bed, feeling as if she had fallen into a bottomless abyss, so cold that her heart and her whole body were about to freeze.Jia Lian stared blankly at Wu Xindeng leading the people to work, and after a while, he changed Jia Amnesty's shroud.The funeral bed was also laid out on the ground, and the mattress was padded.Several people were busy stopping the bed, and it was finally done.
Jia Lian moved forward, knelt beside Jia She, looked at the smile on his father's face, finally burst into tears, and began to cry loudly.The cry came out of Jia Amnesty's courtyard, making those who heard it sad and weeping.Jia Cong knelt beside Jia Lian, weeping bitterly as well.Daiyu heard the two brothers crying, and dragged sister Ying and brother Wei in. Seeing that Jia Amnesty had already died on the ground, she knelt down and cried "Uncle", before throwing up.Daiyu's mother-in-law, who had just passed by the inner courtyard, hurriedly carried Daiyu back to the backyard with her arms around her.Sister Ying took Brother Wei's hand and knelt down in front of Jia She, weeping.Brother Wei saw his grandfather smiling and sleeping, his father, third uncle and sister were all crying, and his cousin was crying so hard that he threw up, and was so frightened that he grabbed sister Ying's hand and burst into tears too.
For a while, the cries of several people spread, and everyone in the mansion heard the cries and hurriedly expressed their condolences.Wu Xindeng and Jia Yun hurriedly ordered people to lay out the prepared things. From the gate of the Rongguohou Mansion to the gates of the inner courtyard, they were all pasted with pure white paper, and the filial piety tents were also started to be tied up. Everyone from top to bottom is ready to serve.
Jia Lian cried for a while, got up to preside over the funeral, and asked about Sister Feng, Daiyu, Sister Ying, and Brother Wei. Wu Xindeng replied that they had all been sent back to the inner house properly.Jia Lian and Jia Cong changed into the sackcloth of dutiful sons, held the "Ju staff", and invited the coffin that had been prepared earlier into the mourning hall. At the same time, they sent people to report the funeral to the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Officials to report Ding You, and to the Zhang family and the Cheng family, the close relatives, to report the funeral. He also sent people to the clan mansion to report the funeral to concubine Shu.
The people in the front yard of the mansion were ordered to fly around, and Wu Xindeng's family and Feng'er were also in a hurry. Feng'er kept Liandongang and Banxia as helpers to distribute things, but eventually there was no head of the house. People, it is inevitable that some pending matters will be delayed.
Just as they were in a mess, Zisu brought someone to say that the cousin girl came to the flower hall to take charge.Wu Xindeng's family and Feng'er suddenly felt their hearts brightened. They hurriedly took the people who were waiting for orders to the flower hall, and saw Daiyu sitting in the middle, unfolding a stack of papers to read.It turned out that Sister Feng had discussed with Jia Lian a few days ago: the rules for handling funerals.Daiyu gave instructions one by one according to her hand, and when the Qin Tianjian sent back the news that she had chosen to rest on the 49th and [-]th, all the funeral arrangements in Rongguohou's mansion were laid out in an orderly manner.
Jinshang and Cheng Yin heard the report of Jia She's death in the study room, and the two monarchs and ministers looked at each other and shed tears.Today endured his sorrow and said: "Fansen, you go to the Hou's mansion for me to see first, I will go back to the palace to see Concubine Shu, Concubine Shu is pregnant soon."
Today I can't say that I have too much love for Concubine Shu, but Concubine Shu stayed quietly in Yong'an Palace, not causing trouble for the Queen, and the Queen was very satisfied with Concubine Shu.Others who are jealous of Concubine Shu and live a leisurely life, but anyone who wants to find fault with Concubine Shu when paying her respects to the queen, and dislike Concubine Shu, except for reprimanding Concubine Shu, Concubine Shu seems to have never heard, no one at all Reasonable, no one can enter Yong'an Palace.After a long time, some people said that Concubine Shu only had saints and empresses in her eyes, and looked down on other concubines, but this cannot be said that Concubine Shu is wrong.When other people saw Concubine Shu, they had to salute according to the rules, and the people around Concubine Shu said "get up" and hugged Concubine Shu and left.So Concubine Shu is someone other than the many concubines in the palace.
Today, for a concubine like Concubine Shu who doesn't seek trouble, sometimes I feel comfortable, and sometimes I feel that something is missing.Weighing the court situation today, after Concubine Shu gave birth to a daughter, in view of Jia Amnesty's situation, she told Mother Wang that Concubine Shu's rebirth is determined by God.
It's really the first time to go to Concubine Shu's Yong'an Palace today, and it's not at night.But Yong'an Palace is in a panic.Only when the Ministry of Internal Affairs reported the news of Jia She's death, Concubine Shu cried so much that she almost fainted, it was Mammy Zhang who brought the sixth princess to hold Concubine Shu.Let someone call the door today, and after waiting for a while, someone came to open the door.She said in her heart that Concubine Shu's palace gate is really difficult to enter, if it is not for herself, it seems that she cannot be called to open the palace gate.In broad daylight, the gate of the palace is also closed, Concubine Shu is the only one in the palace.
When the eunuchs and maids of Yong'an Palace saw the saint coming, they were surprised to see each other according to the rules.The saint went all the way to the entrance of the main hall of Yong'an Palace, only to see Concubine Shu hurriedly pulling Princess Six out of the inner room.
"Saint," Concubine Shu said in a sad voice, bowing down.
Today, he took a few steps forward to help Concubine Shu, then picked up her daughter, and walked inward with the mother and daughter.After going to the inner hall to sit still, he coughed and coughed, and then said to Concubine Shu sadly, "Concubine Shu..."
Yingchun pinched the handkerchief, suppressed the sadness in her heart, thought of the teaching and training of Sister Feng and the nanny, her words were filled with sadness, and tears slowly rolled down, "Saint, after the concubine is born, there will only be saints."
Seeing Yingchun, the sixth princess wept again, crying and hugging Yingchun, "Mother Concubine, Mother Concubine."
Today, he hugged his daughter and coaxed her, and then hugged Yingchun's shoulders, comforting Yingchun: "Concubine Shu, I am here, and you will have me in the future."
Yingchun slowly leaned into the arms of the sage, and looked up at the sage halfway up, "Sage, there will be a sage after my concubine." The tone was sad, and it went straight to Jinshang's heart.Tears rolled down slowly on the white and tender plump cheeks, and the rolling tears rolled all the way into the saint's heart...
After receiving the letter, Mrs. Cheng immediately took her two sons to Rongguohou's mansion.At the gate of the mansion, I ran into relatives of the Zhang family.The two women were ushered into Daiyu's flower hall, and seeing Daiyu assigning tasks one by one, the cousin of the Zhang family said to Mrs. Cheng: "Madam is blessed."
Several people had planned to come over to help, but seeing that Daiyu handled it in an orderly manner by herself, they drank tea and watched Daiyu manage the affairs.
Feng'er walked up to Daiyu and said a few words to Daiyu. Daiyu put down what she was doing and came to see Mrs. Cheng and Zhang's sisters-in-law.Seeing that Daiyu's eyes were red and swollen from crying, they couldn't help feeling a little bit sorry for her.
The eldest cousin of the Zhang family said: "Your sister-in-law is being lazy again, isn't she? Look at the eldest cousin who picked her up and beat her."
Dai Yufu thanked her first, and then said: "Big Cousin, sister-in-law just found out that she is two months pregnant."
Only then did the members of the Zhang family know that Sister Feng was pregnant again, and they couldn't help worrying about Sister Feng.Just in front of the mourning hall, it was said that the female relatives could go to offer incense.Daiyu accompanied several people to the mourning hall to pay homage to Jia She.
Mrs. Cheng and the relatives of Zhang's family offered incense, and Daiyu returned the gift according to the etiquette of the living daughter.After the ceremony, a few people were still invited to sit in the flower hall of the director.
Mrs. Cheng embraced Daiyu's shoulders and wiped away her tears, "My good boy, we all know your filial piety, mourning is a torture, you must stop crying."
The sisters-in-law of the Zhang family also persuaded Daiyu to stop her tears.
Wu Xindeng's family came in to ask about dinner, Daiyu and Mrs. Cheng's cousin Zhang's sister-in-law pleaded guilty and sat back to serve as directors.Just follow Sister Feng's and Jia Lian's orders, and then tell the servant to tell Butler Wu to cancel all the banquets scheduled in the west, and tell them well that they will refund double the deposit.If you are in a dilemma and do not want to return, you can send the reserved banquet for free after the funeral.Starting tomorrow, after the worship, the male guests will be led to the courtyards of the west courtyard, and the gates between the mansion and the west courtyard will be opened.He also ordered people to find Laiwang's family. "Sister-in-law Wang'er, from tonight onwards, you have to be more careful in managing the affairs of the night watch. The gate between the inner and outer courtyards must be properly managed."
Wang'er's family responded quickly, and took people to supervise the women who were guarding the door everywhere.
Xin Yi came from behind, saluted a few people first, and then said: "My second grandmother heard that the in-laws and aunts and uncles had arrived, and she said that the helper came, and her heart was finally broken. The second grandmother sent Xin Yi, Invite the wives and aunts and aunts to eat and rest at the second grandma's place."
After a few words, they and Daiyu followed Xin Yi to Sister Feng's yard.
Sister Feng stood at the gate of the second entrance to welcome everyone. Several people saw that Sister Feng was covered in white clothes and her complexion was not good, and they were all worried for Sister Feng.Sister Feng invited everyone to a seat, and said with a little shame, "Originally, the meal in the morning was fine, but it was not good when I saw the food at noon. For this dinner, I will let my cousin accompany me. I will go to the West Room to hide for a while, and I will come back to accompany my aunt in a while." With my cousin, siblings."
Mrs. Cheng and others had all given birth, so they naturally understood Sister Feng, so they waved their hands to let Sister Feng hide at ease, and they ate a vegetarian meal together with Daiyu.
After dinner, Sister Feng came over to drink tea slowly with a few people, and talked about the arrangements for the reception of the female relatives who came to worship.In the end, it was agreed that the family members of the imperial clan would be received by Zhang Yu's wife, and no one would make trouble for the empress's sake; the family members of officials above the third rank would be received by Mrs. Cheng. Cheng Yin saw that he was about to take over the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and no one would be idle. At this time, it is time to offend Mrs. Cheng; the family members of the officials of the Imperial Academy and the six ministries should be represented by the first and second cousins of the Zhang family; and it is better for the family members of the Jia family to be accompanied by Sister Feng herself.All the affairs of the mansion were entrusted to Daiyu in charge of the flower hall, and Sister Ying and Daiyu took turns to go to the funeral to answer the ceremony and worship the female relatives.
After discussing for a while, the reception yard was allocated.Sister Feng assigned several of her capable maidservants to her own office to help with internal and external affairs.After thanking several people repeatedly, Fang sent them back and made an appointment to meet tomorrow.
