Brother Shi and Shi Fujin still have to stay here, waiting for Tai Ji to wake up and see his reaction.
Brother Ninth will go back to the Prince's Mansion first.
Shu Shu was shocked when she heard what happened in the inner hall and said: "This is too careless!"
Brother Jiu said: "Anyway, this is the first time this kind of thing has happened in the inner hall. People from the Lifan Academy have also gone to check the house to prevent anyone from harming me. What do you think is the reason?"
Shu Shu thought for a moment and said, "Are the doors and windows too dense?"
The so-called carbon poisoning is carbon monoxide poisoning.
The charcoal fire is not fully burned, the environment is closed, and the carbon monoxide intake exceeds the standard.
At the end of last year, the old Duke was buried, and Prince Nerfu of Ping'an County died of charcoal poisoning on the way to the funeral.
Brother Jiu nodded and said, "The Abahai tribe is wealthy. Before they came here this year, they asked people to repair the yard. In order to keep warm, the doors and windows are also covered with felt strips, which is not as tight as usual."
Shu Shu said: "Neither the charcoal basin nor the smoke cage is safe."
The ninth elder brother said: "Yes, I also specially told the thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother to be careful..."
At this point, he said with some frustration: "Last year, Khan Ama ordered me to ask Le Fengming to check the recipe for preparing the charcoal poison. There is no obvious one that can be used. It depends more on God's will..."
Shu Shu called the ginkgo and ordered: "Pack two kilograms of Dongzi vegetables each, plus ten kilograms of fish, five kilograms of shrimps, and one hundred eggs, five kilograms of each of apples, oranges, and pears, and then pack the sea cucumbers." One pound, one pound of Korean ginseng..."
Brother Jiu said from the side: "Is the one prepared for the inner hall too plain?"
Shu Shu said: "After a serious illness, you need to eat lightly and take supplements. It is better to eat more fruits and vegetables..."
The people living in the inner hall are all Mongolian princes who come to work shifts. The Lifanyuan is responsible for the food supply. Basically, it is mutton, pork, etc. The vegetables are radishes and cabbage stored in the cellar.
After everything was ready, Brother Jiu ordered Sun Jin to send it to the inner hall.
The couple thought about the past year, first the old Duke, and then Prince Ping'aao, but they didn't stop.
Fortunately this year, although there were some minor accidents, no lives were lost.
Brother Jiu said: "It's better to have a peaceful year."
Shu Shu nodded and said, "Yes."
When it was cold years ago, those who went out to pay their respects also suffered.
Just as he was talking, there was movement outside.
It's Cui Baisui here.
"Master Jiu, Fujin, and Uncle Gui have come to announce the funeral. They are kneeling outside the door. My uncle and his wife are gone..."
This is the current rule that you are not allowed to wear a filial hat to enter other people's homes, so filial sons report funerals outside the gate.
Brother Jiu and Shu Shu looked at each other, both speechless.
I forgot that I have such a relative.
I got sick at the end of September, and it has been three months.
Brother Jiu looked at Shu Shu and said helplessly: "Although my wife's clothes are light, I still have to go there, just for Guidan's face!"
Shu Shu said: "Then let's change our clothes and go over..."
She said she was thinking about Guidan's face, but in fact it was mainly about Yi Fei's face.
The couple asked someone to prepare the carriage.
By the time the two of them changed their clothes and came out, the carriage was ready.
Guidan was kneeling at the door of the Prince's Mansion. He had not yet stood up. His eyes were like rabbits. He had lost weight again and was completely different from the tall, fat man two and a half years ago.
He was of the same age as Brother Jiu, only a little older, and looked miserable, a little less hateful and a little more pitiful.
"Jiuye, Fujin..." Guidan's voice was hoarse.
Brother Jiu picked him up and frowned: "What are you waiting for here? Are there no funeral announcements?"
It's not good to kneel down like this. Over time, your knees will get cold.
Gui Dan choked with sobs and said, "The Fifth Master has already reported it, and there is nothing else anyone else can do to report it."
Brother Ninth: "..."
After a while, he said: "That's not right, aren't there still relatives? We have also cut off contact with your family over there?"
He was talking about Sanguan Bao's nephews and cousins, who were still wearing coats and did not raise the flag.
Guidan nodded and said: "Since Mafa died of illness, the family has been keeping filial piety, so we have stopped contacting each other."
In fact, after Sanguan Bao died of illness, Guo Luoluo's family became normal for a while. Relatives and friends also got the news and came to express their condolences.
However, later there was news of the death of the second master of the Guo Luoluo family. Everyone felt unsure and no longer dared to interact with the Daobao family.
Brother Jiu said: "That's all, it saves worry."
He helped Shushu get on the carriage and followed suit.
Both of them changed into gray plain robes, and Shu Shu also wore jewelry. She didn't bring any diamonds, and wore her hair in an old-fashioned bun.
"My uncle is younger than my mother-in-law, and my uncle-in-law seems to be less than forty..."
Shu Shu also felt sad when talking about the Jin family to Brother Jiu.
terrible.
She wants to study medicine.
Brother Jiu said: "You still have to be more open-minded. Guidan is an only son and is my father's companion. If the Jin family had been more open-minded, life would never be like this."
The Jin family's natal family was punished in the Xinzheku. They were punished as Suo'etu's minions in the first month of last year.
The widowed sister of the Jin family married the eleventh elder brother, Grandma, as her stepmother.
There is a conspiracy in this.
It's just that the ninth elder brother didn't blame the Jin family. Instead, the Jin family, because the natal family was ruined, took the anger out on the ninth elder brother and his wife.
So after Shu Shu gave birth to triplets, Jin was talking outside, saying that Shu Shu's body would die.
Brother Jiu was annoyed and completely cut off contact with him.
The fifth elder brother also stopped Daobao's chief of ceremonies at Baylor Mansion.
Shu Shu didn't like Jin at all, but since she came to express her condolences, she had no interest in saying bad things about her.
When they arrived at the Guo Luoluo family's residence outside the imperial city, the fifth elder brother and his wife had already arrived.
A funeral shed has been set up in the yard, but it doesn't look ready yet.
The fifth elder brother didn't like the Jin family, but he still had some affection for Daobao, his uncle, and said: "My condolences, uncle..."
Dao Bao continued his filial piety to his father and continued his filial piety to his wife. He looked very haggard and said with a wry smile: "Thank you, Fifth Master, for coming down and saving the honor of my family."
Relatives and friends were no longer in contact with each other, but the two princes who were usually estranged came to express their condolences.
This was something he didn't expect.
Although he and his old wife had many quarrels in the past few years, the married couple couldn't bear the shabby things behind her death.
The fifth elder brother was generous. He also worked as the chief of ceremonies at Baylor Mansion for a year and had dealings with Wu Fujin. It was not surprising that the couple came after getting the news; they did not expect that the ninth elder brother and his wife would also come so soon.
This is naturally not for his sake.
Unexpectedly, Master Jiu was nostalgic and not only gave Guidan a future, but also gave him dignity.
As soon as the fifth elder brother and his wife and the ninth elder brother and his wife arrived, helpers arrived one after another from neighbors, front and back streets, and people who had some relationship with the Guo Luoluo family in the early years.
Less than an hour later, the Guo Luoluo family members who had received the news also arrived one after another.
Today is the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, and it is difficult to wait until the first lunar month for the funeral. Therefore, when the Buddhist, Taoist, and Buddhist temples are decorated, I also ask Mr. Yin and Yang to set a time for the funeral.
On the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, the funeral was carried out after the "coffin" and sent to Beiding Niangniang Temple for burial. After the "May 7th" day, he was sent back to his hometown in Shengjing for burial.
Shu Shu followed Wufu Jin, and there were no other female relatives in the Guo Luoluo family to entertain him.
The two sisters couldn't chat at this time, so they could only sit quietly.
When the time for the funeral was determined, the fifth elder brother and the ninth elder brother came to pick them up.
The four of them came out of Guo Luoluo's house.
Daobao and Guidan's father and son walked out of the gate in person.
According to Manchu rules, uncles are not obligated to be relatives, and nephews attending funerals are filial piety before their death.
Today I paid my condolences, but there were no formal clothes. No one dared to deliver filial piety to the prince and prince Fujin.
If you have to dress up today, then you can go to a funeral to eliminate filial piety.
During the Chinese New Year, you can never bring filial piety gifts home.
When the funeral comes the day after tomorrow, the mourning ceremony will be considered complete if the mourning is worn for half a day in front of the deceased.
Since it was an innocent matter, the brothers and sisters-in-law were not in the mood to chat, so they got on the carriage and dispersed.
By the time we returned to the Prince's Mansion, it was already Weichu.
Shu Shu and Brother Jiu had a meal, and they didn't ask the kitchen to prepare anything else, just sesame sauce noodles.
After finishing the meal, Shu Shu asked Ging Guo to prepare a portion for Guo Luoluo's family based on what was delivered to the inner restaurant in the morning, except for the fish and shrimp.
Even though the two families don't have much contact, they are Brother Jiu's biological uncle and cousin, so they always have to look good.
Otherwise, if others say that you treat your younger brother's brother-in-law better than your biological uncle, it would be disrespectful to your biological mother.
Thinking of this, Shu Shu looked at Brother Jiu and said, "Are you going to the palace to report the funeral?"
What is missing is a brother's wife, not a younger brother. Yi Fei is noble and long-term, so of course she does not need to marry her brother's wife.
But rules are rules, and favors are favors.
After hearing this, Ninth Brother hesitated and said, "I don't know. Why don't I ask Fifth Brother?"
Shu Shu nodded and said: "I have thought carefully. The fifth brother is in front. If you tell me or not, it is the fifth brother who makes the decision."
Brother Jiu called He Yuzhu, gave him a few instructions, and sent him to Wubeile Mansion.
When He Yuzhu arrived at Wubeile Mansion, the fifth elder brother remembered that he had not sent anyone to tell the empress the news.
He also hesitated and asked Wufu Jin, "Then shall we send someone to tell him?"
Wufu Jin said: "You should tell me, why don't I go there..."
Although it was bad news, Wufujin felt that he could not hide it from Concubine Yi...
