Most of the men in Ningrong's second mansion have no actual jobs.
So basically everyone went to Xiaoci County.
Except that Jia Zheng left home after the Chinese New Year and went to Yazhou to take up his post.
Jia She, Jia Lian, and Jia Zhen all followed the funeral procession and passed ahead.
Jia Rong, as the Dragon Guard, drove over with the emperor's car.
In this way, the Ning Mansion left You as a master to look after the house.
She had nothing to do today, so she took Peifeng and Qiyuan for an outing in the park.
Both of them are Jia Zhen's concubines.
They are the two most favored among them, and they have a charming and naive temperament.
You took them into the Grand View Garden from the Ning Mansion.
After just a while of sightseeing, I met Xiangyun, Fangguan, Xinguan and other women.
Having fun in front.
Xiangyun and the others were all charming and naive, after they greeted each other.
It didn’t take long for me to play somewhere.
For a while, the two parties were just playing around and forgot about Youshi.
Only a few maids were left to serve.
The girls in front were talking and laughing, having fun all the way.
Youshi followed him slowly, admiring the scenery in the garden one by one.
When they reached Yihongyuan, Baoyu also heard the sound and came out.
His eyes lit up and he wanted to join in the fun.
At this moment, someone came to report:
"Two women from the Zhen family are here to deliver things."
When You heard this, he quickly sent someone to ask Tanchun and Li Wan.
Then the three women went out and met in the meeting hall.
Peifeng and Jieluan here naturally dare not disturb them.
Just stay outside and want to play on the swing.
When Baoyu saw this, he came over and said:
"You two go up and let me see you off."
As soon as these words came out, Peifeng panicked and waved his hands repeatedly.
"That's all, don't make trouble for us."
But Baoyu had no scruples and insisted on helping them push it.
You met Li Wan and was about to wait to see the Zhen family woman.
At this time, I suddenly saw several people from Dongfu running towards me in a panic.
"The master has passed away!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
Youshi stood up and asked:
"There is no disease at all, why is it gone?"
The family member heard her question and quickly replied:
"Master, if you practice every day, you will definitely achieve perfection and become an immortal."
It would have been better not to say this. When Youshi heard this, her heart skipped a beat.
If you ascend to immortality, it is not a normal death.
But Jia Zhen and his son are not here, and neither are Jia Lian and others in Rong Mansion.
For a time, there was no responsible man in the family.
At that moment, she no longer hesitated and hurriedly said goodbye to Li Wan and others.
While returning home, I took off my makeup and asked someone to prepare the car.
On the one hand, he ordered people to go to Yuan Zhen Temple first and locked up all the Taoist priests.
Instruct Jia Zhen to come back and interrogate him carefully.
Youshi hurriedly got into the car and took Lai Sheng and other elderly wives out of the city.
He also asked a doctor to come over and see what the problem was.
When the doctors arrived, they found that Jia Jing had long since lost any vitality.
They could only barely look at each other.
Fortunately, they were all familiar doctors from the Ning Mansion and knew that Jia Jing practiced the art of guiding qi.
He even participated in star rituals, guarded Gengshen, served Lingsha, etc.
I'm afraid I might have lost my life because of this.
In addition, even though he is dead now.
But it can also be seen that the abdomen is as hard as iron, and the face and lips are purple and wrinkled due to burning.
The doctor then replied to Youshi:
"In Taoism, one swallows gold, wears sand, and swells to death."
With these words, Youshi had an explanation.
He nodded immediately to show his understanding.
But this
As soon as the words came out, all the Taoist priests immediately panicked.
They were all locked up, and after hearing this, they all replied:
"So it turns out that the secret cinnabar was eaten bad?"
"I said: 'The time has not come yet, and I can't accept it.'"
"Yes! We persuaded you!"
"I must have quietly taken it while watching Geng Shen tonight, and then became an immortal."
"This is the way that one has gained through piety. He has emerged from the sea of suffering and shed his skin."
Several people talked lively, but Youshi didn't listen at all and only said coldly:
"Lock them up until the uncle comes back!"
The people who complained about injustice were ignored, and only the servants of the Ning Mansion noticed.
Youshi ordered Pegasus to report the news, and at the same time led people around Yuan Zhen Temple.
She found that it was cramped inside and could not be parked.
But there was a national mourning in the capital, so I couldn't enter the city.
After thinking for a moment, You asked someone to wrap up Jia Jing's clothes.
Use a soft sedan to carry it to the Jia family temple at the north gate, which is also the Tiejuan Temple, and park it.
She counted the days again with her fingers.
I found that it would take half a month at the earliest before Jia Zhen and others could come back.
Now that the weather is getting warmer, we really can’t wait any longer.
So Youshi gave the order decisively and took charge personally.
The astronomy student was ordered to choose a date for his burial.
The longevity wood had been prepared in the early years and was stored in the family temple.
So it's quite convenient.
So she decided that after three days, she would break her filial piety and hang herself.
Let’s start a dojo right here.
Because Li Wan and Tanchun couldn't get out of Rong Mansion, they still had to take care of their sisters.
Baoyu doesn't understand the situation.
You had no choice but to temporarily entrust the outside affairs to a few second-class stewards at home.
Jia Mi, Jia Juan, Jia Heng, Jia Ying, Jia Chang, Jia Ling, etc. each have their own deacons.
The arrangements here are pretty much the same.
Youshi thought about it again and found that there were only two things left.
First, there is no qualified man outside to take charge.
Second, there is no one to look after the house in Ning Mansion.
So You thought of her natal family, the three of you.
He also came up with Feng Yibo's idea.
Immediately, he sent people to Feng Mansion to call Mrs. You and his two younger sisters.
I hope I can look after the house for her in Ning Mansion.
I also asked Feng Yibo by the way to see if he could come over to help suppress the situation.
By the time Feng Yibo arrived at Tiekan Temple, Youshi had already arranged all the necessary matters.
After the two sides greeted each other, You briefly talked about what he had done.
I also want him to help check and fill in the gaps.
At this time, Feng Yibo was looking at this "sister-in-law" in surprise.
I saw that Mrs. You was dressed in mourning clothes at this time and did not apply any makeup.
But it shows her true beauty.
Being in your early twenties is also a good time.
Think about it too.
If not for her beauty, Jia Zhen would not have married her as her stepmother.
Of course, Feng Yibo was not amazed by her appearance.
But I was shocked by this sister-in-law's thoughtfulness.
Youshi usually keeps quiet.
When Ke Qing is here, the whole house is handed over to Ke Qing.
But Qing was not there, so she took it quietly.
Unlike Wang Xifeng who left, Rong Mansion was in a state of turmoil for a while.
Everyone usually feels that Jia Zhen alone has the final say in the Ning Mansion.
But now that there is no one in the house, Youshi can still do things so thoughtfully.
It can be seen that there is no lack of achievements in the house on weekdays.
"Sister, you are very considerate. If there is anything else you need me to do, just ask me."
In order to show his closeness, Feng Yibo did not discuss it from Jia Zhen's side.
And from the You family, they called me sister.
Hearing this, Mr. You smiled sweetly and said:
"There's nothing wrong with it. It's just that brother Yibo is still needed in the outfield to help hold down the formation."
Feng Yibo discussed it from Mrs. You’s side, but she discussed it from Jia Zhen’s side.
Although You is the eldest sister, her two younger sisters are both concubines.
Feng Yibo and the Jia family are also real relatives, so it is not their turn to discuss their relationship with the You family.
Even if you call me brother-in-law, you have to go through the Xue family.
Feng Yibo smiled when he heard this and didn't argue with her.
Then he asked someone to go to the ministry to take leave, and then he stayed in Tiequan Temple to take charge.
Let's say that Jia Zhen also hurriedly asked for leave after receiving the letter.
Call him along with Jia Rong.
The person responsible for presiding over the ceremony at the Xianling Mausoleum was Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites.
He didn't dare to act alone when he heard about Ning Mansion.
He hurriedly arrived to ask for orders.
It turned out that the old concubine's funeral was held in accordance with the state funeral regulations of the Queen Mother.
The only thing wrong was that Emperor Jingshun didn't follow him the whole time.
Instead, it was Prince Zhongshun, the younger brother, who held the vassal ceremony in front of the funeral on his behalf as the emperor.
However, Emperor Jingshun still rushed to Xiaoci County before the burial.
The coffin had been parked in the Xian Mausoleum for several days but had not yet been sent to the underground palace.
To a large extent, it was just waiting for his arrival.
Although it cannot be delivered in person, it is the most important burial ceremony.
It was still necessary for him, the eldest son, to fill the first shovel of soil.
When Ning Mansion sent the letter, they had just entered the underground palace not long ago.
Emperor Jingshun hadn't had time to get up and drive back to the capital.
When he saw this book, he was slightly surprised.
Suddenly countless possibilities flashed through my mind.
But his face remained calm and he asked casually:
"What is Jia Jing's position in Ning Mansion now?"
Jia Zhen and his son did not follow, so the left minister of the Ministry of Rites played on his behalf, saying:
"Jia Jing was born as a Jinshi, and his ancestral status has already benefited his son Jia Zhen."
Emperor Jingshun naturally knew this, but he nodded frequently when he heard the words.
I don't know what I'm thinking about.
"Due to old age and many illnesses, Jia Jing often rested in the Yuan Zhen Temple outside the capital. Now he died in the temple due to illness."
I am imprisoned in a small temple and only come out once a year.
Is it considered complete now?
Emperor Jingshun felt a little emotional in his heart, but for a moment he couldn't figure out whether it was done by someone else.
"His son Zhen and his grandson Rong are here due to the national mourning, so they beg for leave to be buried."
After the report by Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites was completed, Emperor Jingshun ordered someone to issue an order of grace, saying:
"Although Jia Jing has not contributed much to the country, in memory of his grandfather's loyalty, he was posthumously awarded the rank of fifth rank."
Not only did Jia Jing have no merit, he also had faults.
Most of the people who come to Xiaoci County are noble people, and there are many who know it.
Fortunately, Emperor Jingshun's posthumous title still showed respect for the founding lineage.
"Let his descendants carry the coffin into the capital from Beixiamen, grant him a private funeral, and let his descendants carry the coffin back home after the funeral."
Although he was extra gracious and allowed to enter the city.
But there is nothing to say, just respect for "benevolence and filial piety".
This is the consistent style of Emperor Jingshun.
"Outside Guanglu Temple, sacrifices are given according to the above regulations. In the court, princes and below are allowed to offer sacrifices."
At this time, it was the national mourning for Emperor Jingshun's biological mother, and all tributes had to be given.
It is not easy to be allowed to enter the city.
Princes and princes below are allowed to offer sacrifices.
This is the greatest gift to Ning Mansion.
"I admire this."
This purpose is to let people know that he attaches great importance to benevolence and filial piety, and more importantly, he respects the descendants of meritorious officials.
really.
After this edict, not only the people in Jia's family thanked him again and again.
Even the nobles who followed him praised him endlessly.
After receiving the decree, Jia Zhen and his son rushed back at night.
On the way, I saw Jia Mi and Jia Yu again, riding with their servants.
A group of people saw Jia Zhen
, quickly rolled the saddle and dismounted.
They all came forward to say hello.
Jia Zhen agreed, but she was also a little confused and asked quickly:
"I already know what happened at home, what are you doing here?"
The leader, Jia Mi, stepped forward and respectfully replied:
"My sister-in-law was afraid that my brother and nephew were back and the old lady would have no one to help her on the way, so she asked the two of us to escort the old lady."
Mrs. Shi also has Jia She, Jia Lian and his son beside her, so naturally she will not be left alone.
It’s just that there are no people from Ning Mansion.
After hearing this, Jia Zhen naturally understood what You meant.
"appropriate!"
He praised it and asked again:
"How do you cook at home?"
Jia Mi and others then told you what he had done.
How to order someone to invite a doctor and a Taoist priest?
How to get someone to move Jia Jing's body to the family temple.
Afraid that there would be no one outside, Feng Yibo was invited to take charge.
Specialized in welcoming distinguished guests.
Afraid that there would be no one at home, I picked up Mrs. You.
I brought several wives from the Feng family to watch in the upper room.
After saying this one by one, Jia Zhen said "appropriate" several more times.
Then the two parties said goodbye, and Jia Zhen and his son whipped them off before leaving.
The two of them didn't invest in the store, so they changed horses and galloped all night long.
On this day, we finally arrived in Duzhong.
The father and son rushed into Tieksuan Temple first, and when they arrived, it was already the fourth watch in the middle of the night.
Those who were sitting on watch heard the sound and started to drink.
Jia Zhen got off the horse and cried loudly with Jia Rong.
He got up on his knees from outside the gate, went to the coffin and cried out his blood.
The two men wailed and cried until dawn.
My throat was hoarse from crying before I stopped.
Only then did You and others come forward to see him together.
Jia Zhen and his son hurriedly changed into their murderous clothes according to the ceremony and prostrated themselves in front of the coffin.
As the head of the family, you need to be in charge.
We can no longer keep our eyes closed to sight and our ears closed to hearing sounds.
It is necessary to reduce some sadness so that he can command everyone.
Jia Zhen first prepared the edict to all her relatives and friends, and then sent Jia Rong home to take care of the funeral.
Here Jia Zhen met Feng Yibo alone again and thanked him profusely.
"Brother Lao Yibo helped me with the arrangements. I am very grateful! Only when the matter is over and our whole family comes to kneel down and thank us, it will not be able to repay our feelings!"
Feng Yibo repeatedly said he didn’t dare, and then said:
"Brother Zhen, my condolences. I can't do anything to help you. I'm just trying to do my best."
On the other side, Jia Rong arrives home.
He hurriedly ordered the front hall to put away the tables and chairs, put down the fans, hang filial piety curtains, and build a drummer's shed and archway in front of the door.
When things are over here, I come in again to see Grandma You.
As soon as Jia Rong saw You Lao Niang, he hurriedly went up to say hello and said:
"Our ancestors have put in so much trouble, and we, the gentlemen, are very grateful! But when it's over, our whole family can go to the door and kowtow."
You Lao'an was pleased when he heard this, nodded and said:
"My son, you are good at talking! Relatives are what they should be."
The old lady stepped forward to help him up and asked again:
"How is your father? When did you get the letter and arrive?"
Jia Rong smiled and replied:
"I just arrived. You sent me first to see that you are here, and I beg you to finish your business before going."
Seeing Madam You nodding, Jia Rong looked around cheerfully and said:
"Second aunt, why are third aunt missing?"
He has never seen the You sisters since they followed Feng Yibo.
But although he is not very good at it, he is used to talking a lot.
Fortunately, Mrs. You originally wanted to bring the You sisters.
After all, it was You's father-in-law who died.
As the in-laws of the You family, it is considered polite to come over.
But when she went to ask for instructions, Feng Yibo agreed to come in person.
But only the You sisters were not allowed to come over.
"What? Brother Rong is filial, but he still misses your two aunts?"
Mrs. You smiled when she heard this and then said:
"Of course they are in Feng Mansion. If you have time, you can go there and walk around."
She knew that Feng Yibo's identity was not inferior to Jia Zhen's, and she didn't believe that Jia Rong would dare to make a mistake.
Sure enough, Jia Rong curled her lips and said:
"That's not necessary. It's better not to cause trouble to Uncle Feng."
