Stayed up all night.
Even if everyone simply freshened up the next day, they all looked haggard, which was just the right time for the occasion.
The beginning of the morning is an auspicious time according to divination.
Although it is a "small funeral", the etiquette performed is no different from that of a "big funeral".
How to give gifts is arranged by people from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and everyone just follows suit.
The front gate of Zhijun Prince's Mansion was already full of people.
The king's assistants, guards, and staff, all officials and above, wear sackcloth and wear filial piety.
The servants of the palace all wore sackcloth and wore mourning.
At first glance, they are all white.
Compared with the relatives and friends who came to the funeral like Shu Shu and others, they seemed to be separated from each other.
In fact, there is indeed a distinction between inside and outside. According to the system of the Eight Banners, if the prince of Zhijun joins the banner, it is no different from the prince of the previous dynasty who joined the vassal, except that it does not break the soil.
From then on, he and his bannermen, soldiers and civilians, both prospered and suffered losses.
Shu Shu stayed up all night and was tired.
When he got on the carriage, he was out of shape and was leaning on the ninth elder brother.
Everyone has to travel with the funeral procession.
Dafujin's coffin will be sent to the Beiding Empress Temple outside the city for burial.
Beiding Niangniang Temple is located more than ten miles north of the capital. It is one of the royal temples built by the previous dynasty and is the dojo of Bixia Yuanjun.
It's more than twenty miles away from the Zhijun Prince's Mansion.
Because it was a funeral procession, it moved slowly and took quite a while.
Seeing Shu Shu like this, Brother Jiu felt distressed and held her in his arms, letting her lean more comfortably: "Why are you so tired? You didn't rest last night?"
Shu Shu sighed: "There are too many people, it's hard to rest..."
An Arhat couch can barely accommodate two people even if the middle one is lifted.
But it's cramped.
It's quite spacious for one person to lie down on, so how about letting the other Fujins watch?
There was also a princess who was polite and dignified, but everyone just sat there all night.
Shu Shu's waist almost straightened.
Brother Jiu helped her rub it and counted the time: "I estimate that it will take two hours to go back and forth, and I will be back at noon. If you are tired, just close your eyes and squint..."
Shu Shu shook her head and said, "Just bear with it a little longer, this shaky state is even more uncomfortable."
But she also breathed a sigh of relief.
This mourning period has finally come to an end.
Shu Shu muttered to Brother Jiu: "When we move out of the palace, we won't go to funerals all the time. It's too tiring!"
Since the death of Dafu, they have gone out of the palace four times and sat at night four times.
Shu Shu felt that she was just young, otherwise she would have dark circles under her eyes.
Brother Jiu said: "Don't worry, only close cousins are like this. We need full gifts from Prince Yu's Palace, Prince Gong's Palace, and at most Prince Zhuang's Palace."
Shu Shu felt relieved after hearing this.
I'm not afraid of doing the ceremony, I'm just afraid of this, it's too useless.
When we arrived at Beiding Niangniang Temple, there was a fixed enshrining ceremony.
Dafujin's coffin was enshrined in the side hall here.
When the elder brother dies, he will be moved to a blessed place and buried together as husband and wife.
Shu Shu looked at the slightly dilapidated temple and felt strange.
Three hundred years later, this will be the North Fourth Ring Road.
In this bustling place, two venues that attract worldwide attention will be built next to it.
During the construction of the venue, some accidents occurred, making the Empress Temple a legend.
It's still a wilderness now.
Seeing Shu Shu's dark expression and looking stunned, Brother Jiu just thought she was feeling uncomfortable for Da Fujin, and advised: "Stop feeling bad, no one can escape from this..."
Shu Shu glanced at him, saying that he would not persuade anyone.
Everyone has to face death, but is it the same to die of a normal life and to die in a short period of time?
But Shu Shu didn't break up with him.
Anyway, she will definitely live a long life.
She is in such a state of mind, and it doesn't make sense that she can't live a long life.
The rest of the wealth and prosperity are exceptional.
It’s okay if you have it, and it’s not impossible if you don’t have it.
After more than a month of mourning, she felt that she had improved a lot.
Even more afraid of death.
Except life and death, nothing else matters.
Brother Jiu just said he was relaxed, but he was also a little scared in his heart.
On the way back to the city, he held Shu Shu's hand, feeling a little depressed, and whispered: "If there is a day like this in the future, don't stop 'May 7', people are stinking, and it makes me sick just thinking about it. Just bury it in three days..."
Shu Shu thought this was a good idea and nodded: "Then let's buy a cemetery first?"
Brother Jiu's eyes widened and he looked at Shu Shu with disbelief: "Do you want to do it now?"
Shu Shu said: "Are you prepared for any trouble... Otherwise, you will have to look around for a place in a hurry. Spring, autumn and summer are better, but digging holes in the coldest months of winter will also be difficult."
Brother Jiu was so angry that he fell down and stared at Shu Shu: "How can you be like this? Aren't you supposed to come and persuade me to comfort you? You are just hoping that I will close my eyes soon. How can you feel at ease?"
Shu Shu pinched him and said: "Then why do you have peace of mind and say such stupid things? Your Majesty and your empress gave birth to me, have you fulfilled your filial piety? I married you once, and I have arranged everything for you." Am I wrong? I am unfilial as a son and uncaring as a husband. Why do you still want someone to comfort you?"
Brother Jiu regained his arrogant look and no longer moaned. He nodded and said, "Yes, I still have so many things to take care of!"
Shu Shu then changed her tone and said softly: "If you say this, please don't say it again. I can't listen to this."
Brother Jiu shook her hand and said, "Let's not talk to Old Fourteen anymore, and the things we send to you will be halved!"
The things I'm talking about are some New Year's goods prepared in the kitchen. I plan to make more and give some to a few brothers.
The rules of the banner people are not to open fire in the first month.
It doesn’t mean not cooking, but not making new meals.
Therefore, all kinds of steamed buns, flower rolls, bean buns, rice cakes, rice, etc. must be prepared before New Year's Eve.
The same goes for the dishes, including all kinds of fried foods and stews.
Prepare a whole month's worth of food.
In the first month of the year, it is eaten hot.
Shu Shu felt that this was a bit like a pre-made dish from later generations.
For Ersuo, preparing New Year dishes is extremely simple.
I have added a lot of recipes in the past six months.
Just choose the best and prepare.
Shu Shu heard the ninth elder brother mentioning the fourteenth elder brother and said, "What happened to him?"
The ninth elder brother didn't hide anything, and said that the third elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother were talking about their husband and wife.
"Fourteen is a white-eyed wolf. This is because I feel guilty. But the third child, on the other hand, is convulsing and talks about you. It's so shameless..."
Shu Shu felt a little unhappy after hearing this.
The third elder brother must have been angry because he was implicated by San Fujin.
Brother Fourteen is a bit over the top.
I haven't paid attention to him these days, and I haven't even had double portions of the food he asked people to send him.
But even if it is one portion, the quantity is not small, enough for two people.
Shu Shu said to Brother Jiu: "We just need to know who he is. Don't let him fool me in the future. We don't want anything else he gives us. We don't care!"
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "I know, they are not ordinary big ones. When he moves to Dongsuo, he will not be able to touch them easily."
Mentioning this, Brother Jiu's eyes lit up and he said: "I guess Thirteen will go to Qianqing Palace in a while..."
Along the way of the Northern Patrol, the Ninth Prince also got to know the Thirteenth Prince a little bit.
He looks amiable and doesn't fight or fight, but if he has an idea, he won't change it easily.
Since Brother Thirteen has said he won’t move, he won’t just talk about it.
Shu Shu was simply pleasantly surprised and said: "It would be great if we had good tempers and it would save trouble..."
You can keep the thirteenth brother away from the fourteenth brother.
Otherwise, if you get bullied and get sulky, no one will see you.
When the carriage arrived at Shenwumen, everyone entered the palace the same way.
The Crown Princess took Shu Shu's hand and said, "Xiao Jing came in with two baskets of oranges. I'll send someone back to bring you half a basket. Just don't eat too much. It's easy to produce phlegm. It's good to smoke the house."
Shu Shu knew that this was a return gift from the palace-warming prescription mentioned last night, so she nodded and said: "I have either frozen pears or hawthorns all day long. I am craving for fresh fruit, so I will wait..."
The Crown Princess smiled and nodded, greeted her brothers-in-law, got into the carriage and went back to Yuqing Palace.
After staying up all night and most of the day, everyone was tired.
No one said anything, and the group returned to Brother's place.
Shu Shu and Brother Jiu simply freshened up, rested their feet for a few times, and then lay down to catch up on their sleep.
*
Head place.
The fourteenth elder brother finished washing and lay down as well.
This morning, he and Thirteenth Brother were in a carriage, and neither of them spoke.
The Fourteenth Brother was so angry that he decided to ignore the Thirteenth Brother.
If you are told to move, do you have to move?
If he doesn't move, who can expel him? !
The room was warm and he was very tired, so he fell asleep in a daze.
*
Qianqing Palace, Xinuang Pavilion.
The thirteenth elder brother, who had changed his clothes, was in front of the emperor. He did not go around in circles and directly stated his purpose: "Khan Ama, my son plans to stay in Xitousuo. My son wants the fourteenth elder brother to move as soon as possible..."
Kangxi's face darkened: "What did Brother Fourteen do?"
The thirteenth brother did not hide anything and answered truthfully: "These days, the fourteenth brother has a lot of resentment towards the ninth brother and the ninth sister-in-law. My son has tried to persuade me several times, but to no avail. Yesterday during the night watch, the fourteenth brother acted inappropriately. In front of everyone, I made disrespectful remarks about Ninth Brother and Ninth Sister-in-law!"
Kangxi looked at the Thirteenth Brother with dissatisfaction and said: "He has done something wrong. You are my brother's discipline. How can you dislike him?"
The thirteenth brother lowered his eyes and said: "The fourteenth brother complained to the ninth sister-in-law because the ninth sister-in-law said that the ninth brother was also the prince's elder brother, and asked the fourteenth brother not to do anything at will... My son is also the prince's elder brother, and he doesn't want to be Call and dispatch..."
Kangxi rubbed his eyebrows and said, "We have lived together for many years and everything is fine. Why can't we live together?"
The thirteenth elder brother did not answer. He raised his head, looked at Kangxi and said, "Have you forgotten, Khan Ama? My son told you during the Mid-Autumn Festival that he wanted to live in Tousho..."
Kangxi was dumbfounded, and then said: "At this time and that time, you are older than the fourteenth elder brother and more sensible than him. What are you doing with the same level of knowledge as him?"
The thirteenth elder brother had a sullen face and said solemnly: "Khan Ama, my son is also young. He doesn't want to be the elder brother of the fourteenth elder brother. He wants to be the younger brother of the ninth, tenth and twelfth brother, okay?" ?”
