Brother Jiu gritted his teeth and walked out.
Seeing this, Shu Shu hurriedly grabbed him.
"If I want to go over, I have to change my clothes first..."
Brother Ninth has been in a good mood these two days, and he has been wearing bright colors. Yesterday he was brown, and today he is rouge.
He lowered his head and looked at his body. There were still many small things hanging on his body, such as purses, sachets, and pocket watch cases.
He took a deep breath and went in to change his clothes.
Indigo blue Songjiang cloth cotton jacket and cotton boots of the same color.
They are all uniformly issued by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and they are prepared for white affairs.
There are two grades in total, and there is another grade of similar color, made of plain silk.
That one is usually used by relatives to express their condolences.
Now we are close relatives who want to be clothed.
He thought for a moment and changed his belt.
Walking to the door, he said to Shu Shu: "You should also change your clothes and get ready. The palace will send someone to express condolences. If you are too humble to be humble, it will probably be us..."
Shu Shu nodded.
Brother Jiu then ordered Sun Jin: "Go to the clan's mansion and tell Master Shi that he should come back and change his clothes..."
Sun Jin agreed and ran to deliver the letter.
Brother Jiu also quickened his pace and took He Yuzhu to the Qianqing Palace in a hurry.
Looking at Brother Ninth's makeup, Kangxi was a little distracted.
The princes are about to receive great service.
He was worried about his eldest son.
My eldest son is a long-term lover.
There are a lot of gossips outside, saying that Dafu Jin has given birth to children one after another, and it is said that the eldest brother is forcing him and wants the emperor's eldest grandson.
Later, when Dong Gong's eldest son was born, someone else arranged it and said that the eldest brother wanted a legitimate son.
Kangxi knew that was not the case.
It's just that my son has a long-lasting love.
He wanted to go over and comfort him, but he was "too humble to be humble".
There is no reason for his past.
Kangxi's silence made Brother Jiu feel uneasy.
Hey, isn't Khan Amma thinking of herself?
After all, he was an old man who lost his wife one after another in his early years.
He comforted: "Khan Ama, don't be sad. Speaking of which, my sister-in-law has also suffered from this disease. If she leaves early, she will be blessed early..."
Kangxi glared at Brother Jiu, speechless.
He really asked about everything and even said it without any hesitation.
However, it is no secret that Da Fujin's illness has been delayed for too long.
She suffered from postpartum irregularity and metrorrhagia.
I have made this mistake over the years, and it always takes ten and a half days to heal.
If you lose your vitality, you will look sick all day long.
This year, it has been more than two months since the onset of the disease on the Double Ninth Festival, and people have been working hard...
What Brother Jiu said is not unreasonable.
"After all, I'm so lucky, I just pity your eldest brother and become a widower..."
Kangxi sighed with emotion, calmed down, and ordered: "You will take Dong E to express condolences in a while, and take the tenth, thirteenth, and fourteenth elder brothers with you... Before you leave, ask Dong E to go to Yan Jubilee Palace, let’s see what’s explained there…”
As for the next few younger brothers, they are not old enough and it is cold in winter, so don’t bother.
Brother Jiu nodded honestly, feeling that he had a heavy responsibility.
This feeling is very strange.
Obviously, other brothers had led him before, but now he started to lead his younger brother.
Afterwards, he realized the reason. Not counting the prince, he was already the biggest prince in the palace.
He felt that he needed to be more steady and think more carefully.
Be a good brother to the tenth, thirteenth and fourteenth.
Huh?
The ninth elder brother noticed something was wrong and quickly reminded: "Khan Ama, and the twelfth elder brother..."
Maybe there are just too many sons.
It may also be that the twelfth elder brother rarely came to the imperial court, and Kangxi really forgot about this son.
He nodded and said: "Bring it with you too..."
Brother Ninth did not stay any longer.
Today is a "funeral visit", not a formal memorial service.
No need to prepare for the ceremony.
Whatever grace Khan Amma has, it will not be at this time.
No need to wait.
Brother Jiu came out of Qianqing Palace and went directly to the study room.
He walked to the door of Brother Thirteen's study and went back.
After thinking about the order, he felt that he should go to the twelfth elder brother first.
The right way is to keep order between elders and younger ones, and to distinguish between superior and inferior.
The twelfth elder brother was holding a copy of "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" in his hand and was reading. Not far away, behind the bookcase, sat a bachelor of attendance.
Seeing Brother Jiu coming in, the bachelor's student stood up quickly and bowed to greet him.
The twelfth elder brother also put down his book and stood up, his eyes falling on the ninth elder brother's plain clothes.
Brother Jiu waved his hand and said: "Your Excellency, you are busy. Prince Fujin of Zhijun has passed away. Khan Ama ordered me to take my brother to express my condolences. I am going to take leave today..."
The bachelor's degree attendant responded.
Brother Jiu took out his pocket watch and took a look at it, and said: "It's the second quarter of the first day of the lunar month. You go back and change your clothes. I was waiting for me at the Shenwu Gate at the first quarter of the first day..."
The twelfth elder brother bowed and responded.
His expression was neither sad nor happy, as if the news was insignificant.
Brother Jiu frowned and felt unhappy.
what's up?
That is my sister-in-law, not someone else.
But he knew that time was tight and now was not the time to teach his brother a lesson, so he turned around and went out.
When we got to the 13th and 14th elder brothers next door, the ninth elder brother also told us the same thing.
The thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother both changed their expressions when they heard this.
Brother Thirteen is worried.
The brothers had stayed with the eldest brother for several months and received a lot of care from the eldest brother. The thirteenth brother was worried that he would be sad.
There is also the sister-in-law, whom I don’t have much contact with, but she is very kind to my brother-in-law.
The fourteenth elder brother was a little uneasy.
His age is here, but he has also experienced several lives and deaths.
The tragedy of the eleventh elder brother the year before last, the tragedy of my sister last year...
It's like death is a natural chasm, which makes people farewell forever.
Brother Jiu urged: "Don't be stupid, go back to Zhaoxiang's place to change clothes, and then go to Shenwumen..."
With that said, he left in a hurry.
The tenth elder brother had already received the news and came over from the clan's mansion and was waiting in the square.
He looked sad and a little confused.
Brother Jiu didn't notice, he greeted him and went to his brother's place.
We have to send Shu Shu to Yanxi Palace, time is running out.
When they were about to reach the door of the Second House, Brother Ten asked: "Brother Ninth, shouldn't I get engaged yesterday?"
Brother Jiu stopped and rolled his eyes at him.
"What and what? Why shouldn't it be done? This is just right. Otherwise, think about it, the engagement will have to be postponed to next year, and the wedding will have to be postponed to the end of next year. You will have to retreat to the study and have to do errands. , all have to be dragged along...Don't worry, big brother has a good heart and is not a picky person, so he won't care about this..."
The tenth brother thought about how the elder brother behaved, and found that it was indeed the case. He felt relieved a little and said, "Then I understand, so let's go back and change clothes..."
Brother Jiu nodded and made an appointment with the Shenwu Sect.
The second main house.
Shu Shu is already dressed.
Indigo blue cotton robe.
Such robes are available in all seasons and are used to pay condolences at funerals.
I didn't expect to use it so quickly.
All the jewelry on my head is gone.
Brother Jiu came in and sighed: "Khan Ama is very sad. I feel sorry that my eldest brother has become a widower..."
Shu Shu remained silent, cursing in her heart.
Is there any widower in the clan?
Isn’t it just a matter of one sentence to renew the string?
The old prince, who is fifty or sixty years old, also has Ji Fujin and San Ji Fujin.
Not to mention that the eldest brother was less than thirty years old and had only one seedling under his knees. Even if he wanted to be a widower, Kangxi would not let him.
Brother Jiu told Kangxi’s instructions.
Shu Shu didn't delay, and the couple came out.
The ninth elder brother is already an adult prince and it is inconvenient for him to enter and leave the inner court.
After sending Shu Shu to Xianhe Zuomen, he took He Yuzhu and Sun Jin to stop.
Shu Shu brought two walnuts and Xiaosong into the East Sixth Palace.
Passed by Jingren Gate, passed through Jingyao Gate and Ningxiang Gate before arriving at Yanxi Gate.
The palace attendants at the door were stunned when they saw Shu Shu's outfit.
Shu Shu said with a straight face: "Excuse me, I'm here to pay my respects to my concubine..."
The palace man looked horrified, turned around and went to the main hall.
Concubine Hui is here holding a booklet and looking at the precedent of the prince moving the palace.
The reason is for the Thirteenth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince to move to the palace.
The thirteenth elder brother has already begged himself to go to Xitou.
Where will the fourteenth elder brother be placed?
The most appropriate one is Qiandong Tousu. Next year when my elder brother enters the study room on the fifteenth day, he will have to move it out of Yonghe Palace and place it in Qiandong No. 2.
Standing next to her was the eldest maid, who was also Concubine Hui's confidant, saying, "I'm afraid Brother Fourteen won't be happy to live alone in the east..."
"Shura Martial God"
"Your Majesty, Jiu Fujin has come to say hello and is waiting outside..."
The palace man came in and reported.
Concubine Hui was stunned.
Why did this person come uninvited?
Even if something happens, shouldn't he go to Xiliu Palace to find Concubine Yi?
She saw the palace man's expression was wrong and said seriously: "What's wrong?"
The palace servant immediately knelt down and choked with sobs: "Mother, Jiu Fujin is wearing plain clothes..."
Dafujin is Concubine Hui's biological daughter-in-law. In addition to every five and ten days, she often comes to pay her respects when she is in good health. She is familiar with the people in the palace.
Concubine Hui's face showed sadness, then she nodded and said: "Please..."
Shu Shu came in and felt that her role was annoying.
He actually became a mourner.
Looking at the reaction of the palace people outside just now, Shu Shu realized that Qianqing Palace did not send anyone over.
Kangxi was so unkind.
There is no other way, even if it is an oral instruction, it is still regarded as the emperor's order.
He was so happy and his voice was heavy.
"Concubine, the chief minister of eldest brother's house just came to the imperial court to report that eldest sister-in-law... left today at the third quarter of Yin Zheng..."
Concubine Hui sighed.
I have been prepared for this result.
She sent the nanny from Yanxi Palace to the Prince's Mansion to help her, so she naturally knew that Dafu Jin was already having a hard time.
The metrorrhagia has never stopped.
There were basins of blood all day long.
Just endure it without closing your eyes.
Shu Shu said sincerely: "Khan Ama is worried about my mother-in-law. My eldest brother has lost his wife. It must be the most difficult time. My nieces and nephews are still young and they also need my mother-in-law's protection and love... My mother-in-law also asks for my condolences." …”
Concubine Hui tapped the corners of her eyes with her handkerchief: "I'm fine. I've lived so long. What haven't I seen before? I knew this would happen, but I'd trouble you to go over and see a few more of the little ones for me..."
Shu Shu glanced at the eldest maid next to Concubine Hui.
She is about the same age as Xianglan from Yikun Palace, and she is also an aunt, named Qingxi.
Shu Shu said: "Concubine, why don't you ask Aunt Qingxi to go and ask about the daily life of eldest brother and the children carefully, and you can feel more at ease..."
Otherwise, her little aunt would seem a little troublesome even if she was entrusted to go and inquire.
Concubine Hui was very grateful and nodded: "Then please take it with you..."
Aunt Qingxi didn't waste any time and immediately went back to change her clothes.
So, when Shu Shu came out of the East Sixth Palace, there was another Qingxi around her.
Brother Jiu also recognized him and nodded, indicating that he had seen him before.
At the entrance of Shenwumen, several elder brothers arrived.
Not only did they go to express their condolences, but they also began to perform great service.
Neither fur nor silk can be worn on the upper body, and he is dressed similarly to Jiu Age, wearing an indigo-blue Songjiang cloth cotton coat.
Looking at it, he doesn't have the air of a prince, but looks more like the son of a landlord...
