Chapter 353: Want to be a younger brother (Third update)
Stayed up all night.
Even if everyone simply freshened up the next day, they all looked haggard, which was a good time for the occasion.
The beginning of the morning is the auspicious time according to divination.
Although it is a "small funeral", the etiquette performed is no different from that of a "big funeral".
How to give gifts is arranged by people from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and everyone just follows suit.
The front gate of Zhijun Prince's Mansion was already crowded.
The king's left leader, bodyguards, staff, officials and above all wear sackcloth and wear filial piety.
The servants of the palace all wore sackcloth and wore mourning.
At first glance, they are all white.
Compared with the relatives and friends who came to the funeral like Shu Shu and others, they seemed to be separated from each other.
In fact, there is indeed a distinction between inside and outside. According to the system of the Eight Banners, if the prince of Zhijun joins the banner, it is no different from the prince of the previous dynasty who joined the vassal, except that it does not break the soil.
From then on, he and his bannermen, soldiers and civilians, both prospered and suffered losses.
Shu Shu stayed up all night and was tired.
When I got on the carriage, it was out of shape and it was leaning on Brother Jiu.
Everyone has to travel with the funeral procession.
Dafujin's coffin will be sent to the Beiding Empress Temple outside the city for burial.
Beiding Niangniang Temple is located more than ten miles north of the capital. It is one of the royal temples built by the previous dynasty and is the dojo of Bixia Yuanjun.
It’s more than twenty miles away from the Zhijun Prince’s Mansion.
Because it was a funeral procession, it moved slowly and took quite a while.
Seeing Shu Shu like this, Brother Jiu felt distressed and held her in his arms, making her lean more comfortably: "Why are you so tired? You didn't rest last night?"
Shu Shu sighed: "There are too many people, it's hard to rest..."
An Arhat couch can barely accommodate two people even if the middle one is supported.
But it's cramped.
It's quite spacious for one person to lie down, but why should the other Fujins watch?
There was also the Crown Princess, who was polite and dignified, so everyone just sat there all night.
Shu Shu's waist almost straightened.
Brother Jiu helped her rub it and counted the time: "I estimate that it will take two hours to go back and forth, and I will be back at noon. If you are tired, just close your eyes and squint..."
Shu Shu shook her head and said, "Just bear with it a little longer. This shaky situation is even more uncomfortable."
But she also breathed a sigh of relief.
This mourning period has finally come to an end.
Shu Shu muttered to Brother Jiu: "When we move out of the palace, we won't go to funerals all the time. It's too tiring!"
From the time when Dafu passed away, they left the palace four times and sat at night four times.
Shu Shu felt that she was just young, otherwise she would have dark circles under her eyes.
Brother Jiu said: "Don't worry, only close cousins are like this. We need full gifts from Prince Yu's Palace, Prince Gong's Palace, and at most Prince Zhuang's Palace."
Shu Shu felt relieved after hearing this.
I'm not afraid of paying homage, I'm just afraid of this, it's too useless.
When we arrived at Beiding Niangniang Temple, there was a fixed enshrining ceremony.
The coffin of Dafu Jin was enshrined in the side hall here.
When the eldest brother passes away, he will be moved to a blessed place and buried together as husband and wife.
Shu Shu looked at the slightly dilapidated temple and felt strange.
Three hundred years later, this will be the North Fourth Ring Road.
In this bustling place, two venues that attract worldwide attention will be built next to it.
During the construction of the venue, some accidents occurred, which turned the Empress Temple into a legend.
It's still a wilderness now.
Seeing Shu Shu's dark expression and looking stunned, Brother Jiu just thought she was feeling uncomfortable because of Da Fujin, and advised: "Stop feeling bad, no one can escape this..."
Shu Shu glanced at him, saying that this was not something anyone would do.
Everyone has to face death, but is it the same as dying in a normal life and passing away in a short period of time?
But Shu Shu didn't break up with him.
Anyway, she will definitely live a long life.
She is in such a state of mind, and it doesn't make sense that she can't live a long life.
The remaining wealth and prosperity are all exceptional.
It’s okay if you have it, and it’s not impossible if you don’t have it.
After more than a month of mourning, she felt that she had improved a lot.
Even more afraid of death.
Except life and death, nothing else matters.
Brother Jiu just said he was relaxed, but he was also a little scared in his heart.
On the way back to the city, he held Shu Shu's hand, his mood was a little low, and whispered: "If there is a day like this in the future, don't stop 'May 7', people are stinking, and it makes me sick just thinking about it."
Just bury it in three days..."
Shu Shu thought this was a good idea and nodded: "Then let's buy a cemetery first?"
Brother Jiu's eyes widened with disbelief, and he looked at Shu Shu: "Do you want to do it now?"
Shu Shu said: "Are you prepared for any trouble... Otherwise, you will have to look around for a place in a hurry. Spring, autumn and summer are better, but in the coldest months of winter, digging holes will be laborious."
Brother Jiu was so angry that he fell down and stared at Shu Shu: "How can you be like this? Shouldn't you come to persuade me to comfort you? You are just hoping that I will close my eyes soon, how can you feel at ease?"
Shu Shu pinched him and said: "Then what kind of peace of mind do you have to talk nonsense like this? Your Majesty and your empress gave birth to me, have you fulfilled your filial piety? I married you once, and I will settle down with you."
Am I okay? I am unfilial as a son and uncaring as a husband. Why do you still want someone to comfort you?"
Brother Jiu regained his arrogant look and no longer moaned. He nodded and said, "Yes, I still have so many things to take care of!"
Shu Shu then changed her tone and said softly: "If you say this, please don't say it again. I can't bear to hear this."
Brother Jiu shook her hand and said, "Let's not talk to Old Fourteen anymore, and the things we send to you will be halved!"
The things I'm talking about are some New Year's goods prepared in the kitchen. I plan to make more and give some to some brothers.
It is a rule of the banner people not to open fire during the first month of the year.
It doesn’t mean not to cook, it means not to make new meals.
Therefore, all kinds of steamed buns, flower rolls, bean buns, rice cakes, rice, etc. must be prepared before New Year's Eve.
The same goes for the dishes, including all kinds of fried foods and stews.
You need to prepare enough food for a whole month.
In the first month of the year, it is eaten hot.
Shu Shu felt that this was a bit like a pre-made dish from later generations.
For Ersu, preparing New Year dishes is extremely simple.
I have added a lot of recipes in the past six months.
Just choose the best and prepare.
Shu Shu heard the ninth elder brother mentioning the fourteenth elder brother and said, "What happened to him?"
The ninth elder brother didn't hide anything, and said that the third elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother were talking about their husband and wife.
"Fourteen is a white-eyed wolf. This is because I blame you in my heart. On the other hand, the third child is convulsing and talks about you, which is too shameful..."
Shu Shu felt a little unhappy after hearing this.
The third elder brother must have been angry because he was implicated by San Fujin.
Brother Fourteen is a bit over the top.
I haven't paid attention to him these days, and I haven't even had double portions of the food I asked people to send him.
But even if it is one portion, the quantity is not small, enough for two people.
Shu Shu said to Brother Jiu: "As long as we know who he is, don't let him coax me from now on. We don't want anything else he gives us. We won't care about it!"
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "I know, they are not the same size. When he moves to Dongsuo, he won't be able to touch them easily."
Mentioning this, Brother Jiu's eyes lit up and he said, "I guess Thirteen will go to Qianqing Palace in a while..."
Along the way to the northern patrol, the Ninth Prince also got to know a little about the Thirteenth Prince.
He looks amiable and doesn't fight or fight, but if he has an idea, he won't change it easily.
Since Brother Thirteen has said he won’t move, he won’t just talk about it.
Shu Shu was simply pleasantly surprised and said: "It would be great if we had good tempers and it would save trouble..."
You can keep the thirteenth brother away from the fourteenth brother.
Otherwise, if you get bullied and get sullen, no one will see you.
When the carriage arrived at Shenwu Gate, everyone entered the palace along the same route.
The Crown Princess took Shu Shu's hand and said, "Xiao Jing came in with two baskets of oranges. I'll send someone back to bring you half a basket. Just don't eat too much. It's easy to produce phlegm. It's good to smoke the house."
Shu Shu knew that this was a return gift from the palace-warming prescription mentioned last night, so she nodded and said: "I have either frozen pears or hawthorns all day long. I am craving for fresh fruit, so I will wait..." The Crown Princess smiled and nodded, greeted her brothers-in-law, got into the carriage and went back to Yuqing Palace.
After staying up all night and most of the day, everyone was tired.
No one said anything, and the group returned to Brother's place.
Shu Shu and Brother Jiu simply freshened up, rested their feet for a few times, and then lay down to catch up on their sleep.

Head place.
The fourteenth elder brother finished washing and lay down too.
This morning, he and Thirteenth Brother were in a carriage, and neither of them spoke.
Brother Fourteen was so angry that he decided to ignore Brother Thirteen.
If you are told to move by yourself, do you have to move by yourself?
If he doesn't move, who can kick him out?!
The room was warm, and he was very tired, so he fell asleep in a daze.

Qianqing Palace, Xinuang Pavilion.
The thirteenth brother, who had changed his clothes, was in front of the emperor. He did not go around in circles and directly stated his purpose of coming: "Khan Ama, my son plans to stay in Xitousuo. My son wants the fourteenth brother to move as soon as possible..."
Kangxi's face darkened: "What did Brother Fourteen do?"
The thirteenth brother did not hide anything and answered truthfully: "These days, the fourteenth brother has a lot of resentment towards the ninth brother and the ninth sister-in-law. My son has tried to persuade me several times, but to no avail. Yesterday during the night watch, the fourteenth brother acted inappropriately. In front of everyone, I made disrespectful remarks about Ninth Brother and Ninth Sister-in-law!"
Kangxi looked at his thirteenth elder brother with dissatisfaction and said: "He has done something wrong. You are my brother's discipline. How can you dislike him?"
The thirteenth brother lowered his eyes and said: "The fourteenth brother complained to the ninth sister-in-law because the ninth sister-in-law said that the ninth brother was also the prince's elder brother, and asked the fourteenth brother not to do anything at will... My son is also the prince's elder brother, and he doesn't want to be Call and dispatch..."
Kangxi rubbed his eyebrows and said, "We haven't lived together for many years and everything is fine. Why can't we live together?"
The thirteenth elder brother did not answer. He raised his head and looked at Kangxi and said, "Have you forgotten, Khan Ama? My son told you during the Mid-Autumn Festival that he wanted to live in Touzhuo..."
Kangxi was dumbfounded, and then said: "At this time and that time, you are older than the fourteenth elder brother and more sensible than him. What are you doing with the same knowledge as him?"
The thirteenth brother had a sullen face and said solemnly: "Khan Ama, my son is also young. I don't want to be the brother of the fourteenth brother. I want to be the brother of the ninth brother, the tenth brother, and the twelfth brother. Is that okay?" ?”
