No one can disturb my retirement life in the Red Mansion

Generally, people keep the spirit at home for three, five, or seven days, then raise the spirit, go to the temple to perform rituals, or bury it directly.

For someone with a status like the old lady of the Jia family, the suspension time is calculated as seven. The starting point is 'Qiqi'. Of course, it also depends on the weather. If it’s midsummer, then I don’t dare to leave it at home too much. Otherwise, there would be no old saying that "blessed people are born in June and unlucky people die in June."

Like the old lady, it was already the beginning of winter when she died. In the Jia family, it is necessary to make a full number of seventy-seven, and the royal family always has to express something, and this expression requires a filial son to report the situation, and then the royal family will issue a charter. And this, as long as it is issued before the spirit is awakened.

Generally there is a fixed pattern, so Jia Lian was busy reporting to the Ministry of Rites in the name of filial piety. The Ministry of Rites has certain regulations regarding the funeral of the Duke’s wife, indicating what you can do and what you cannot do. Build the frame first, then prepare the rest. Then report to the emperor, who will issue a decree and say a few words of comfort, and the process will be considered completed.

However, the old lady has a close relationship with the imperial concubine, and she is also the first to jump on the new emperor's ship, which is of symbolic significance. That's why Jia Yuan specifically asked Jia She to make another trick. And Jia Yuan's meaning was also very clear. Why the old lady died could not be concealed, and it could not be concealed. If someone really stabbed him, then the Jia family would be in real trouble.

Jia She's heart still aches. In the past few years, he has really had a good relationship with his mother, but his mother's death in Jia Huan's hands made him heartbroken. Jia Huan can't tell whether he will kill or not, but the old lady only knows about it in the past few days. Why did he have to assassinate him now? The siblings Jia Fen and Jia Huan were not trying to kill the old lady. They were taking revenge on themselves and the Jia family.

Jia She sometimes saw his former self in Jia Huan, so in school, he actually took more care of and helped Jia Huan than Jia Jue. Last time Jia Huan made a mistake, the old lady understood it, but she actually gave up. I support your timidity, because you feel that there is nothing worth paying for in this family, so, okay. I won’t punish you! This is considered a clean slate. And he and Jia Zhengxu actually had expectations for Jia Huan. Doesn't he feel that he did something wrong, and is he being harsh? So why do these things happen?
Jia She's excerpt is very long, and the causes and consequences are written in detail, including the fact that Jia Fen has been disobedient to the old lady over the years, but the old lady has gently exposed it. The old lady had no idea about the punishment this time. I just didn't expect these siblings to be so heartbroken. The old lady's suicide note was also attached and sent to the palace early in the morning.

At almost the same time, Jia Zheng's confession was also written, and he wrote it clearly to apologize to the new emperor.

Jia Zheng went back and thought about it by himself, and felt that he could not let the Jia family or clan scholars follow him to shame, so he wrote an apology letter. He thought very clearly that the fault was the second brother's, and he had to bear the responsibility. He also discussed it with Jia Yuan, and Jia Yuan sighed softly. She actually wanted to persuade Jia Zheng in this way, but she didn't expect that Jia Zheng had thought it through himself first.

The New Emperor was read together with He Ying. Jia Zheng's story is the simplest, because it cannot be explained clearly. What it says is that he is not strict in his internal affairs, has no way to teach his children, has endless harm, stands in the court with no face, and begs for his body in old age. , reflect on yourself for the rest of your life. The new emperor is still confused. Is this a trick for Ding You? You are just a secretary. If you quit, no one else will be willing to do it. You have no money and no power. Who would be willing to do it except you who work for the rich?
But he didn't say anything. If he looked at the old lady's last words, he could tell at a glance that this was written when the old lady was sober. The arrangements were very detailed, and it could be seen that she really didn't want to leave any bones behind. She can come and go without any worries! The new emperor couldn't help but let out a long sigh, this is the old lady, transparent and comfortable.

He Ying took the old lady's suicide note and then looked at Jia She's long memorial. For the first time, he discovered that Jia She's handwriting was very beautiful. Also, Jia She had always liked metal and stone seal carving and had a strong understanding of art. Sometimes when the students finished writing, he would take it in and read it with the old lady. But the old lady is not interested!

She only asked the students to practice Guange style and learn those fancy things. Wait until you get the Jinshi to talk about what you like. Before you get the honor, all your hobbies are in vain.

At that time, Jia She would have a quarrel with the old lady, and then run away with those words in hand.

He Ying also felt that the old lady was a bit utilitarian in teaching, but the old lady just glanced at her and said: "When you were young, you studied to eat. When you can eat, we can talk about other things."

He Ying also wanted to refute, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that what the old lady said was quite Zen-like. When he was young, he lived in poverty for ten years and was sold to the emperor's family. When you have achieved fame, you can talk about romance and show off your other interests and hobbies. When you really have nothing, what are you doing with all that useless stuff?
The Six Arts of the Gentleman in Jia Family School are about appreciation and cultivation. Once you have memorized the books, practiced martial arts, passed the social practice, and passed the exam, you can come and learn them. Don’t ask to learn them. You can appreciate them. Just smell of copper. If you haven’t done it before, you are too embarrassed to learn it, and even if you are embarrassed, I am too embarrassed to teach you.

"Why are you laughing?" The new emperor's face became more and more serious, and he wanted to send people to raid Jia's house. I wanted to scold Jia Zheng just now, but I wanted to back it down this time. It turned out to be an unworthy descendant of your family who killed the old lady, and you still have the nerve to beg for her body? The new emperor even wanted to kill him. Just stay with your mother!
When he looked up and saw He Ying smiling, he couldn't help but feel angry. He knew that He Ying's feelings for the old lady were no less than his own. She should have known the cause of the old lady's death earlier than he did. She didn't tell him. Xian just let the Jia family speak for themselves, why are you laughing now.

"I laugh at myself for not understanding the old lady as well as Your Majesty, and I also laugh at myself for not really knowing the Jia family. Marquis Jia En's handwriting is even better than Jia Cunzhou, who is known as a scholar. I have been in the Jia family for so long, but I have never seen the handwriting of these two people. It's really a waste of time to stay in the Jia family." He Ying sighed lightly and took out the old lady's handwriting. "The old lady cares most about the students' handwriting. She always scolds Jia Yan's handwriting. I heard that Jia Yan has to write a few posts every day and dares not slack off for a day. You see, the old lady herself also has to practice every day. This official style has no elegance at all, but instead has a hint of strength."

"She has such a strong temper. In the past few decades, she has endured a lot of hardship for the sake of her children and grandchildren." The new emperor looked at the suicide note. Even though it was written at the end, there was no trace of death. , clearly understood, feeling that the old lady was right in front of me, standing on crutches, as if she had never fallen down. Thinking of this, he became angry again, "What's wrong with Jia Fen and Jia Huan? They hate the old lady so much." (End of Chapter)
