Chapter 806: Worried that Brother Nine will follow in his footsteps (monthly ticket)
The next day, there was news that the holy driver would return to Luang early.
However, as for the Duke's Palace, there was still no favor from the palace. The Ministry of Rites was not asked to prepare a posthumous title, and no silver was awarded.
On the other hand, at the Princess's Hospital, Kangxi sent Liang Jiugong to deliver a reward, and also obtained the pulse of Princess Shuhui from the Imperial Hospital.
Such commotion in the palace would make the young and old men of the clan understand.
The juniors didn't move much.
Only the princes and nephews are still surviving.
Everyone suffered a lot on the first day, but on the second day many princes also arranged carriages to go there.
Waiting until the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, the third day after the death of the old man, it will be the day of "small coffin" and funeral.
Old Guo Gong was different from Da Fujin back then.
Dafujin is the eldest brother's blessing and cannot be buried directly. The coffin and coffin must be kept temporarily until the eldest brother passes away and the couple can be buried together.
The old prince will be buried directly here.
For this clan, the old Duke was the first person to be ennobled.
Their family's blessed land is on their own farm in Fangshan.
There are two coffins parked in the family temple over there, which are the first wife and stepwife of the old prince.
This time the old prince is in mourning, and the two wives who have been serving him for many years can also be laid to rest.
Fangshan is far away from the capital, about fifty miles away.
Therefore, if the mourning team wants to return on the same day, it must start early.
There the time of initiation was determined to be Chenchu.
Shu Shu and Brother Jiu got up early.
The carriages used for the trip were also prepared.
Shu Shu also installed a hand stove for ready use. If the car takes a long time to get off the car, you can use that.
I also prepared two food boxes to fill my stomach on the way.
It was still dark outside at the first quarter of the day.
The couple had breakfast.
Shu Shu wanted to go out to see her off, but Brother Jiu held him down.
"Stay peacefully and take a nap..."
Shu Shu also listened to the advice.
Brother Ninth came out wearing a cotton cloak.
In front of the Prince's Mansion, lanterns have been set up and carriages are waiting.
There were two carriages in total. In addition to Ninth Prince's carriage, there was also a carriage carrying food and charcoal fire.
Except for Brother Jiu, it belongs to the people below.
He will bring his bodyguards and escorts, and these people will prepare their own meals.
When you go out in the coldest month of winter, you can’t only eat dry food.
Shu Shu asked the kitchen to prepare instant soup and porridge, and also bought a lot of sesame seed cakes from outside.
He Yuzhu followed Brother Jiu and obeyed his orders, while Sun Jin went to the back to escort the car.
The entourage traveling with him was the second-class guard Erhe and the third-class guard Chunlin, as well as eight guard vests.
Chunlin is eighteen, nine years old. He is tall and tall. He is either Heishan's apprentice or Xiaosong's senior brother.
At this moment, carriages were also parked at the entrances of Sibeile Mansion and Eight Beile Mansion in the east, as well as the Tenth Prince's Mansion in the west.
Brother Jiu did not get on the carriage immediately, but went east.
The eighth elder brother happened to bring someone out of the house. When he saw the ninth elder brother coming, he thought he was looking for him. He was a little happy and greeted: "Ninth elder brother!"
The ninth elder brother didn't look sideways. Hearing the greeting, he didn't stop walking. He turned around and looked over, saying: "Good morning, eighth brother. I'll go see the fourth brother first..."
After saying that, he had already left the door of Babeile Mansion.
The eighth prince's smile was a little stiff and he looked at the door of Sibeile Mansion.
The fourth elder brother also just came out from the gate of the hospital. The ninth elder brother walked a few steps quickly and greeted him, saying: "Fourth elder brother, how is your cold?"
Brother Si raised his head, wearing a familiar attire, with a hood on his head and a mask on his face, and said: "Okay!"
Brother Jiu couldn't help but burst out laughing "haha".
If it were really good, it wouldn't be this way.
It's funny to say that I look good dressed up like this, but seeing my fourth brother dressed up like this makes me feel funny.
The fourth elder brother was so embarrassed by the laughter that he glared at the ninth elder brother and said: "Stop dawdling, it's time to set off, hurry back and get in the car!"
When Brother Ninth heard "get in the car", he remembered the business and said: "My brother's carriage was renovated last month. It has three smokers and it won't be cold on the road. Fourth brother, please go over and sit with me!"
The fourth elder brother shook his head and said: "No, your fourth sister-in-law didn't trust me, so she asked someone to add an extra smoke cage to the carriage, which is enough."
Brother Ninth Brother said: "Then you have to be careful. Open the curtain twice to get some air. My brother modified the smoker cage and the smoke exhaust outlet is outside the carriage. It is not afraid of charcoal poison. This car of yours is not good..."
Fourth elder brother thought it was too distasteful.
On a day like this, it would be unlucky to mention this.
However, he also knew that Brother Jiu meant well, so he waved his hand and said, "I know, don't be so nagging!"
When the ninth elder brother left and the fourth elder brother got on the carriage, he felt a little uneasy.
When we arrived at the Duke's Mansion, we had to mention it to my eldest brother and pay attention to follow the funeral carriage so that nothing else would happen...
When the ninth elder brother returned to his carriage, the tenth elder brother was already waiting beside the carriage sleepily.
Brother Jiu greeted him to get on the carriage, looked him over and said, "You didn't get a good rest yesterday? You have a hard day today, why don't you go to bed early?"
The tenth elder brother yawned and said: "I have been lying down a long time ago. There was a strong wind and a lot of noise in the middle of the night. When I woke up, I couldn't fall asleep after that."
He also remembered the scene when his mother died.
Birth, old age, illness and death are really helpless.
Although he had never met the old Duke before and had no affection for him, the sad events behind his death also made him wary.
Too many words lead to mistakes.
Don't be shy.
He looked at Brother Jiu, feeling really uneasy.
The emperor's father can be angry with his uncle because of a word; if a prince like him has a problem with Ninth Brother and really wants to ascend the throne, can he spare Ninth Brother?
There is also Akedun, the eldest brother of Yuqing Palace. Although he is young, his character can be seen. He is frivolous and rude, and has no respect for elders and younger ones.
Regarding the crown prince and the throne, the tenth prince had always thought that he could not afford to offend but could hide away.
With the emperor's father watching from above, there is no room for him to move, so just stay content and be a wealthy and idle man.
Now, he had bad thoughts.
It's not that I'm wishful thinking and I'm thinking about that chair, but I think I can add insult to injury appropriately.
When others tried to pull the prince's hand, he quietly helped him.
There is no need to make a big show of it, and there is no need to ask for "the merit of following the dragon". I just hope to bring down the prince.
It doesn't matter if another brother takes that position.
We all grew up as brothers, so there is a bond of affection here.
Even if Ninth Brother doesn't speak nicely, he treats others well and the brothers will be a little tolerant of him.
However, the prince has been with them since they were young and has been a monarch and minister, and has no such affection.
The ninth elder brother is a simple-minded person, and he would never have thought that the root cause of the tenth elder brother's insomnia lies with him.
The tenth prince was worried that he would follow in the footsteps of the old prince.
He calculated the solar terms of the time and said: "It's raining now. It's only been cold for a few days and the river is about to open."
The "Song of Number Nine" in Beijing refers to the weather changes during the period before and after New Year's Eve.
Don't take action in 1929.
3949 Ice Walking.
5969 Looking at willows along the river.
The river opens at seven or nine, and the wild geese come at eight or nine.
Nine-nine plus one-nine, the cattle are everywhere.
Speaking of this, Brother Jiu said: "It's time to ask people to keep an eye on the fish market. Your Sister-in-law Ninth said that the fish from the Kaihe River is delicious and has no earthy smell, so you can just stock up on it. The county boss won't let your Sister-in-law Ninth eat beef."
After drying it, I said it was a drain on my teeth, and I was afraid of toothache in the future. Your sister-in-law Ninth now likes to eat fish fillets and dried shrimps..."
After hearing this, Brother Ten said: "It's still cold in the Northeast, and there's still some chilled food over there. You can ask people from Shengjing to send some over."
Compared with Jiangxian, Hexian is much worse.
Brother Jiu waved his hand and said, "I can't trust the people of the Guo Luoluo family. If I really write to them and ask them to prepare three melons and two dates, do you believe they dare to use my guise to scrape the land?"
When Brother Ten thinks about it, he really can't be sure.
"What about Guiyuan?"
Brother Ten asked.
Brother Ninth fell silent.
Guiyuan is one of his haha beads, he is also a member of the Guo Luoluo family, and is the grandson of the Sanguanbao brothers.
At the beginning of last year, Sanguan Bao came to Beijing and brought Gui Yuan back to Shengjing.
At that time, Concubine Yi was in charge, saying that Ama Guiyuan was gone, and my grandfather was getting older and was thinking about his grandson.
Brother Jiu was not happy at that time.
He thought that Sanguan Bao was selfish and wanted to win over his own grandson, so he took Guiyuan away through filial piety.
After all, Guiyuan was a substitute from the beginning.
Guidan's brothers and cousins were all young. Brother Jiu was not old enough when he chose the haha beads, so he chose his cousin Guiyuan.
Now that the future is about to be given, it is human nature for the three officials to be reluctant to part with it.
It's just that Brother Jiu didn't get used to him at that time. He took him away as soon as he was taken away, but he also refused to let other children of the Guo Luoluo family fill the vacancy.
Anyway, he left to go to the study, so these haha beads were no longer needed.
Now that he has been on duty for two years, he has heard a lot of secrets. When he thinks about this incident again, he feels that something is wrong.
He thought of the rumors about Yuqing Palace and whispered: "Well, are the rumors about the Crown Prince true or not?"
Compared with that bastard Gui Dan, Gui Yuan is smart and sensible, and there really is nothing wrong with him.
His behavior is somewhat similar to Fusong's, and he is a very steady young man.
He just looks so good.
Red lips and white teeth.
If she puts on women's clothes, she will look a little out of place.
When he was a child, he was fairer than others, like a New Year painting doll, causing a few haha beads to circle around him.
When I grew up, among the princes who read to me in the study room, I stood out from the crowd.
It was Concubine Yi who made the decision to let Guiyuan return to Shengjing.
At that time, Brother Ninth just felt that his mother-in-law favored her parents' family and ignored his own son's preferences, and he was annoyed for a while.
Now think about this paragraph, is the empress well-informed? What news has she got?
The 10th Prince also vaguely heard that the haha beads in the East Palace are based on face.
Earlier, he felt there was nothing wrong with him.
Everyone has a love for beauty.
Even the emperor Khan Amma was no exception.
Regarding the appearance and demeanor of Wufu Jin's grandfather, the emperor's father had praised him several times.
If there were any ugly ministers, they would not be able to come to the imperial court.
Brothers like Ma Qi and Ma Wu, whom Khan Amma valued, were both handsome and distinguished from ordinary people.
Even Zhang Ying, who is over 60 years old, is still an elegant old man.
Now that he was married and knew more about it, he couldn't tell whether the rumors about Yuqing Palace were true or whether someone had slandered them.
Although he doesn't quite understand why there are men who like men, this kind of separation has never happened since ancient times.
During his tour in the south, he also heard that in Fujian and Zhejiang, when two men "form a contract", a betrothal gift is required, just like a marriage between a man and a woman.
It's the capital city. Because the "Qing Code" clearly stipulates that officials and scholars are prohibited from soliciting prostitution, so some people took advantage of the loophole and opened some "Elephant Aunt House".
A prostitute according to the law is a female prostitute.
This kind of male prostitution is fine.
Because of the spring festival that happens every three years, tens of thousands of scholars stayed in the capital.
Many officials and scholars from the south are flocking to the "Elephant Aunt Pavilion"...
