In the blink of an eye, November 23rd came, and Dafu entered the "First Seven".
In current wedding and funeral customs, the "first seven days" are not counted on the seventh day after the death of the deceased, but on the sixth day.
The soul of the deceased will leave the world tonight.
The memory of the deceased will fade and the thoughts will become confused.
Relatives came to say goodbye and burned incense to point her in the direction of death.
The formal ceremony takes place at Zi hour, so the "first seven" are also called "six days at the end and seven days at the head".
This day is also a big festival.
Close relatives and friends need to sit vigil at night.
No need to rush early.
Shu Shu and the others came out of the palace at dusk.
It is still the gathering of Shenwumen.
The same old people who came out last time were the same ones, and beside Qingxi, there was a nanny and a little palace maid who had just grown her hair.
The nun and the little palace maid were holding a package in their hands.
Qingxi's eyes were slightly red, and she explained to Shu Shu in a low voice: "It's still early for the young masters to pay filial piety. Our empress will send her servants to serve the young master in the county prince's palace, and in the next year, she will enter the palace with my little brother..."
This means that one hundred days of filial piety is fulfilled.
Even in the future, the younger generation will still have to observe filial piety for their mother, but it will not be regarded as a passionate filial piety and will not conflict with others.
Shu Shu nodded and said: "My aunt has worked hard, and those who are capable work harder, so my concubine can feel more at ease..."
As the head of the concubine, Concubine Hui always behaves fairly and fairly, and there is no obvious difference between her treatment of her eldest brother and other brothers.
Only for the granddaughter and grandson, I finally made an exception. First, I sent the nanny from Yanxi Palace there, and now I also sent the eldest maid next to me.
Xiaojia got off the carriage, surrounded by guards and guards, and then headed to the Zhijun Prince's Mansion.
Si Fujin remembered that Qingxi had just brought the manpower and said to Ama Sigua: "Concubine Hui may want to point Qingxi to my brother as concubine Shenghong..."
The age of celebration is that he is old, seventy-eight, seven years old, and he is only two years away from leaving the palace.
When you leave the palace, you have to consider the little things in the first half of your life.
At that age, other than being a stepmother, there were no other good options.
The prosperity of the county prince's palace is also a way out.
Shu Shenghong, that sounds respectable.
The status is between Gege and Xishushu.
In fact, this is not a polite statement. Is there any canonization by the imperial court?
Amma thinks it is possible.
Little Shushu has passed away, and Shushu will have to leave the house soon.
Xiao Shushu risked his life to give birth to Dafujin, so Concubine Hui would gamble with her grandson's safety on Ji Shenghong's character and conscience.
He was brought up by his side, and some of his confidants were sent to him.
If you take care of your child after leaving the palace, the age of eight is not a barrier.
By then Da Shenghong will be able to live in the inner court again.
If you want to stay in Shenghong, you need the emperor's grace, but this is too eye-catching.
The least likely possibility is to arrange for confidants to take care of her and to take her back to the palace from time to time.
Amma doesn't hate celebrating, but she can't help grinding her teeth.
What's that...
Xiao Shushu's body is still cold, and the candidate for the concubine has not yet been selected.
Preparing to fill a house, it was said that Kangxi was also making a choice.
How could such a precious little Shenghong be willing to let me be a widower...
When they arrived at the Zhijun Prince's Mansion, Ama was still led to the West Side Hall, while Sifu Jin took several older ones to the East Side Hall.
The monks, Taoists, and monks outside the funeral shed were still there, but Xiaojia's face looked more sad than dull.
Ba Shu Shu, Qi Shu Shu, Qi Shu Shu is not here yet.
Yi Shu Shu and Si Shu Shu are in.
You two are late, but because you are "seven-eyed people", you can come to express your condolences.
Because tonight, apart from the fact that the deceased is coming back to say goodbye to his relatives and friends, there are no secret messengers coming to pick him up for fear of collision.
Amma breathed a sigh of relief.
Si Shushu is here, I guess the firecrackers are about to start, and Amma wants to be hurt.
There are not many people coming from Shu Shu, the royal family. Only Shu Shu, the two princes from Prince An's family, Mrs. Beizi and two generals' wives have not yet arrived.
The male relatives were muttering and eye-rolling, talking about the news of those two days.
It is not a matter of Sifujin being given a side of prosperity.
It didn't seem like it was a slap, it hit the faces of the clan members of Prince An's family with a "slap" sound.
In the past, if the emperor was so unkind to his clan members, he would have been criticized long ago.
Before I figured out the reason that time, I became a stranger to silence.
Xiaojia feels that Prince An’s Mansion is doing its own thing.
If we make a fuss and want to take our nephew back, will His Majesty slap him in the face like that?
Although His Majesty was not disciplined in his treatment of the clan during those years, he was still very tolerant in a small amount of time.
Especially the prince's mansion and the county prince's mansion are not inherited by the prince.
Even without His Majesty's support, I can suppress the side branches and secure the throne.
Instead of a finger-marriage held every eight years, the emperor's side was also reduced to the immediate branch, that is, the upper clan of Taizong's lineage.
Unless other members of my clan go to the palace to request an order, they are not interfering with our betrothal.
Today the princes of the Four Banners have a very ambivalent attitude towards the royal family.
Anyway, everyone has no position.
Qi Shushu hadn't been worried for two days and found an excuse to drag Ama out.
"Okay, why is Xiang Shenghong missing? He is still a noble man born in the flag year..."
Qishenghong said worriedly.
Maybe Kangxi wanted to slap Prince Anjun in the face, but he also scared you princes Shu Shu.
Qishenghong said loudly: "I'm afraid it will set a precedent..."
The princes, Fujins, and others have to allocate their population when they are granted titles. If they all come to have such an imperial gift, Shushu, where will you, the direct descendants of Shushu, stand?
The two sisters looked at each other and looked towards the Forbidden City of their own accord.
In Kangxi's eyes, he would take you princes Shu Shu seriously, but you still seemed to have turned into monkeys, without any lingering fear.
Qi Shenghong took Shenghong's hand and shouted loudly: "He is my brother, and everything is under the eyes of the elders. He needs to be more cautious, and he must remember to be a virtuous and filial daughter-in-law and grandson-in-law."
, anyway, the mistakes can be made inside..."
Amma nodded.
You already know that truth.
The royal family is not a royal family, but it is a common people's family. If you really want to be praised by your elders, you will be given a chance to correct yourself.
Si Shushu prides herself on being of low birth, even though she does not have the support of the royal family.
If I were a courtier like you, my whole family would have to plead guilty, let alone support me.
Amma returned to hold Qi Shenghong's hand and sighed in her heart.
Qi Shushu is right to be worried.
Today's gift to Shenghong has indeed set a precedent.
I know that there are very few situations in real history.
Anyway, this is not the case with Qishenghong.
When the seventh minor title was granted to the prince in the 74th year of Kangxi's reign, Qifu Jin was promoted to prince, and he was divided into assistants and leaders from the lower eight banners.
But Shu Shu, who was not the big rice cake before, appeared on the wedding side and dominated the favor for ten years.
Honghui......
Amma is worried.
I think it's a small insurance policy.
Life and death are so easy to reverse...
Just lean into Qi Shushu's ear and say loudly: "Sister-in-law Qi, give nephew Honghui a younger brother..."
Get double insurance.
Qishushu was stunned and looked at Ama.
Amma said loudly: "Afterwards, I heard some gossip in Shenghong, saying that Li Gege is a good match for a girl. She has been having children one after another here, and only one child has appeared over there with my sister-in-law..."
You just want to talk about Honghui's safety, but this has become a curse and a crow's mouth. Is there anyone who can listen to me and step back, so I remind you from a different angle.
Qifu Jin is a well-behaved person, even if he spoils his concubines and kills his wife, but he treats his children equally.
It turns out here that it's just a special position, but "it's useless to give birth to a child". Unintentionally, it wasn't Xi Shenghong before.
"Instead of worrying about the future, it is better to be attentive to things outside the home..."
Amma said.
Qishushu nodded gratefully.
Shenghong is not a man of words. When he talks like that, he is worried about you.
The two sisters talked a lot, got a little closer to each other, and came back hand in hand.
Ba Shenghong looked at it and smiled, but didn't look down at it.
Don’t you have anything to say behind someone’s back?
Is it going to say something to you...
Bashu Shu thought about it for a while and realized that there was nothing wrong with it.
Now you hold two Fujins, who have the least confidence.
Even if others are angry, there is nothing you can do.
Especially for Qishushu, her observance of filial piety was delayed for several months.
It will be eight years since next year, and I have a child in eight years.
No matter what the elders say, they still have to arrange for concubines to share the same room with each other in order to beg for a child.
Thinking like that, you looked at Qi Shushu with pity in your eyes.
Qishushu didn't pay attention at all, your attention was all on Ama.
When the drum beats at the eighth watch, the little family goes to the funeral and lays incense.
Afterwards, Xiaojia returned to the west hall.
Qi Shenghong stepped forward, pulled Shenghong and said loudly: "You only know about your Shenghong, let them worry..."
The first grade is directly the seventh grade.
It was that time again, and I went to the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
I just want to guess, but I also know that there is no handwriting of Si Fujin in it.
Small favors turn into enemies.
Amma was so grateful and said: "I should have received grace a long time ago, but it was already several years late. You guys came here to remind me. To be honest, even if I said it that time, the emperor
It’s time to think of it..."
Si Shushu Xiaoyan was ashamed to use her family background to belittle Qi Shushu, and that would also spread to the Queen.
Qishushu is verbose and just keeps it in mind.
My family has to stay vigil for one more night, which is considered as the first step to send the deceased away.
*
In the west side hall.
Xiaojia also came back after offering incense.
The little family sat down in twos and twos, and the elder princes of the clan were helped to take a rest under the Arhat bed next to them.
Besides Si Fujin, Shi Shenghong was brought to talk to Si Fujin, but Gu Qi Shenghong was right next to him.
After that, I wasn't tired of that hot noodle brother, and I wasn't a little scared. Now it seems that he is not a paper tiger, but he just ignores my white face.
Sifujin was annoyed to death by Guo Luoluo, and he followed Sifujin in talking with a bit of schadenfreude.
"The Chinese New Year will be celebrated in less than a month. Fourth brother should have a good rest and gather the people of the banner..."
That said, Sifujin was still running errands.
"We won't be able to hold weddings until the end of July, after my sister-in-law's filial piety, and I will appoint you to do it quietly..."
Since it is a marriage, it is also handled by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
You also want to "accept the gift" and get married.
Sifujin is eager to try.
I haven't thought about it yet, if I should take that as a preview of Shi Fujin's wedding.
At that time, it will be considered as killing two birds with one stone.
The first is to directly slap Guo Luoluo in the face, asking you to behave with your tail between your legs, stay safe and shy at home, and don't come out to bully others.
The seventh is to give Fourth Brother a face, so as to appease the Fucha family, so that we can be more loyal to Fourth Brother.
Eighth, check to see if there are any flaws, which can be avoided when the tenth child is getting married.
I'm talking about silence. Qi Fujin's face is quite pale, and he will scold him whenever he sees it.
Sifujin spoke.
I shook my head and said: "This matter needs to be postponed..." After saying that, he paused: "You will go to Ma Xiaoren's house to plead guilty and postpone the auspicious date to the first half of next year..."
After Sifujin heard this, he took it easy.
"Fourth brother, how can you do that? If the Khan's palace is favored, it should be done as soon as possible. What's the point of delaying it until then? What do you want the Khan's palace to think? Is that a sign of failure? Or do you think you want to do another job?
?”
I said loudly, and it was too late for Shi Fujin to stop me.
Si Fujin's face became less stiff.
Shi Shenghong said hurriedly: "Fourth brother can think of those things, so of course fourth brother will also think of it... It's just that fourth brother has less worries. When fourth sister-in-law is happy, blood is the most important thing. It's not that Khan Shenghong will be considerate, but that's because fourth brother is heartless.
There’s no sense in it…”

The loudspeaker of the district sounded at seven o'clock, and the temporary nucleic acid test was carried out from 5 to 8 o'clock, and it was 55, so the time was wasted.
