After Xiao Nianzhi came closer, he heard Aunt Yu sigh softly: "Concubine Sun is dead."
After hearing this, Xiao Nianzhi was at a loss at first.
She didn't even respond. What happened?
After reacting carefully for a while, he suddenly came back to his senses: "Ah?"
Aunt Yu was a little sad, but not too much.
Although Concubine Sun and Concubine Qing are from the same camp, they both belong to the Queen Mother's team.
However, after all, he is not the person he has served before.
Therefore, Aunt Yu's sadness is very limited.
However, after all, it is the death of a person, and the mood always becomes heavier.
Therefore, Aunt Yu's face was not very pretty at this time.
Xiao Nianzhi still had a good impression of Concubine Sun.
Although they didn't have much contact with each other, they had met several times, talked about daily life together, ate food, drank tea, and received many rewards from each other.
Sun Taibin also said before that she wanted to control her weight and lose weight after the Chinese New Year.
As a result, while I was busy on my own side, the other party probably couldn't control it either, thinking about dragging it out day by day.
Then many things, just as this day drags on, are either missed or disappear.
Xiao Nianzhi sighed a little, but now is not the time to express his feelings. Instead, he needs to ask Aunt Yu about the process he needs to follow.
After thinking about it, Xiao Nianzhi hurriedly asked: "Auntie, what do I need to do here?"
Xiao Nianzhi was also not sure whether officials like them needed to go to offer incense or observe fasting after the concubine passed away.
In response, Aunt Yu nodded her chin and said: "Don't worry, wait and see the news from the palace. Only after Qin Tianjian and Taichang Temple come up with the corresponding auspicious times and regulations can we hear it here."
The palace will arrange the procedures."
Concubine Sun's position is not high, but because she is a member of the Queen Mother's team, she is favored and has His Majesty's blessing.
Therefore, the clan members had already hurried into the palace as soon as they got the news.
As for Baiguan, there is no need to worry.
The reason Aunt Yu came over in a hurry to talk was because she wanted Xiao Nianzhi to be prepared.
Once the Taichang Temple comes out with regulations, the officials will definitely have corresponding arrangements.
Xiao Nianzhi nodded after hearing this: "Well, I listen to my aunt."
Aunt Yu felt a little heavy now. After hearing this, she just nodded: "Go back and rest first."
After finishing speaking, thinking that everyone had not eaten well in the morning and had not eaten at noon, he pointed to the small hall where they had dinner last night: "Let's go to eat first. I'll tell the kitchen that we won't see you for a few days."
It’s fishy.”
Although His Majesty did not ask for it, Aunt Yu had to be protected by Concubine Sun when she was in the palace. There are some things that do not need to be requested by others. They can just treat them as juniors and show filial piety and respect for their elders.
Xiao Nianzhi didn't object, fearing that something unexpected might happen if her aunt was in a hurry, she hurriedly followed her.
The two people found Sister-in-law Guo. They didn't know the news for the time being and were studying what to eat for lunch.
In the basket containing the ingredients, there are also fresh pork belly and ribs, as well as a piece of meat that looks like mutton?
Looking at these, Aunt Yu sighed again: "Concubine Sun has passed away. I haven't seen any meat these days. Let's pickle or smoke them."
Sister-in-law Guo and the others felt that the news was sudden and a little shocked.
I hurriedly put away all the meat, and some of the meaty things were sorted out a little.
After tidying up, Aunt Yu walked out again with heavy steps.
Aunt Yu couldn't explain exactly how she felt.
There are complications and there are discomforts.
More likely...
Feeling helpless that time flies by so quickly.
There was a lot of panic in her heart for no reason.
It is probably human nature to be afraid of death.
Aunt Yu thought helplessly. She obviously wanted to live to be ninety, but now she was afraid because she heard the news of someone's death.
She thought, life should be respected by others.
Seeing that Aunt Yu was in a bad mood, Xiao Nianzhi was not in a hurry to speak and stayed with her.
Lunch was simple, with vegetarian dishes on the table and less oily food.
Grandpa Feng, who already knew the news, didn't know how to persuade him.
Aunt Yu was in a low mood and didn't eat much. There was still some left in the half bowl of rice, and she only had two bites of the food.
It’s true that I’m not sad, but how can I truly watch the death of an old friend calmly?
After dinner, Aunt Yu couldn't sleep either. She lay on the bed, tossing and turning, her eyes closed, and all that passed by was the past.
During those years in the palace, Aunt Yu thought that many things had turned into a wisp of smoke in the passing years and had long been forgotten by her.
However, now it jumped into her mind clearly, forcing her to recall the past.
Those who were once vivid or bright in memory have finally been handed over to time and turned into gloomy gray-white.
Maybe, one day, it will be completely forgotten by people?
Aunt Yu couldn't sleep, but Xiao Nianzhi was in a good mood.
Maybe it's because the relationship with Sun Taibin is not deep and there are not many bonds, so at this time, I can be calmer.
I don’t know what happened to Yan Xingxuan and the others.
Before, Concubine Sun was ill, so they hurried into the palace overnight, so their relationship seemed to be good.
Xiao Nianzhi sighed helplessly when he thought that his uncle and nephew would be sad and he had no way to comfort them at this time.
Then, continue reading in the study room.
At noon, the rain stopped, but the sky remained gloomy.
Coupled with the news of the death of Concubine Sun, the entire Zhuangzi was filled with a heavy atmosphere.
For dinner, Aunt Yu didn't eat very well.
I have no mood and no appetite.
It’s normal to feel uncomfortable and unable to eat when something like this happens.
Others' advice is of no use. If you really force yourself to eat it, you might even vomit.
Xiao Nianzhi thought that if she couldn't eat anything, she would make some sweet soup to see if Aunt Yu could replenish her body fluids a little, so as to avoid poor nutrition and insufficient water, and her body would no longer be able to hold on.
She went to the kitchen and asked Sister-in-law Guo again, then asked her to get some peach gum.
This thing is relatively precious and is definitely not in the daily area. Sister-in-law Guo keeps it carefully.
Now take some out and soak them first.
After soaking, clean it and soak it in water overnight. It will be better if you make sweet soup tomorrow morning.
The texture and taste will be much better than freshly brewed.
But, this is for tomorrow morning.
Tonight, I still need it.
Moreover, Grandpa Feng also needs to prepare one.
It needs to be nutritious, taste good, and warm your heart at midnight.
Thinking of this, Xiao Nianzhi glanced at the milk that Sister-in-law Guo had squeezed back from the backyard.
This was originally used to make steamed buns with dough.
However, now Xiao Nianzhi decided to use a little bit.
