Leader Lan Palace

Chapter 2562 Nine Volumes 44 Married
On July [-]th, the emperor personally went to Prince He's Mansion and Duke Zhongyong's Mansion to give a memorial ceremony.

After returning, he issued a decree, "The imperial edict said: Grand Scholar Fu Heng passed away. The decree was decreed yesterday, and a sympathy was given to you. Remember the Duke of Yixifeng, and follow the division of civil and public affairs. We will handle all funeral ceremonies today. Gracefully follow the routine of the clan township Duke to show excellence."

What the emperor bestowed on Master Jiu was the favor of the funeral ceremony after death.It's just that the person is gone, and any special kind can't be exchanged for a fresh life.

Up to this time, Fukang'an has not come back.

They don't know where he is at this time, and whether he has received the news of Master Jiu's death.

The gazebo in the Seven Princess Mountains looks to the southwest from afar.

Tomorrow, July 15th, is her [-]th birthday.This will be the last birthday that her natal family read before Lijiang.

Besides, the folks regard 15 years old as Jiji's age. Although she is 15 years old this year, she is already promised to marry, so she can also go to the top. This is also Jiji's original intention.

Therefore, this birthday is very important to her.

It's just a pity that Uncle Zhongyong passed away two days before her birthday; and Qilin Bao, who grew up with her, didn't know where she was.

And Ernie, because of the death of his uncle Zhongyonggong, although there was nothing on the surface, but he couldn't hide it from her - she could see that Ernie couldn't eat for the past few days.Even when Huang Ama came, Er Nie just reluctantly accompanied her to drink a couple of sips of soup.

It was Aunt Yuchan who secretly reported that Er Nie's mouth was full of blisters, and she secretly told them to burn the silver needle with fire to break it, so she barely dared to drink two mouthfuls of soup, otherwise it would be difficult to get water rice.

Under such circumstances, how could she leave with peace of mind?

She had also asked Huang Ama privately if the wedding should be postponed because of the funerals of the fifth uncle and uncle?
In ancient human relations, the uncle is a foreigner, so she doesn't need to wear filial piety to salute; but the fifth uncle is a close relative, Huang Ama's younger brother.Just a few days after the fifth uncle passed away, she was about to get married. Would she be disrespectful to her elders?

Huang Ama patted her on the shoulder lightly, and comforted her, "Your wedding date is an auspicious date determined by Qin Tianjian, and nothing can hinder it; besides, you are Princess Gu Lun, a prince, so there is no need to worry about it for you." Uncle wears filial piety."

"Besides, you are Huang Ama's daughter, and there is still a gap between you and your fifth uncle. You don't need to go to salute. Everything depends on your eighth brother and twelve elder brothers."

Then she can only pack up her mind and wait for the wedding in seven days.
.
Because of the passing of Hong Zhou and Fu Heng, this year's July [-]th, in addition to being the birthday of the seventh princess and the eighth elder brother Yongxuan, this year's Hungry Ghost Festival is filled with thoughts and condolences.

Wanxi has folded a lot of lotus lanterns and paper boats with her own hands in the past few days.

The most delicate handicraft she has made in these years is not making pastry, but the grass flowers that she learned to make back then.In this origami technique, she brought out the technique of making grass flowers and pressing the bottom of the box back then, and made the lotus lantern lifelike.

Because of this, she always reminded her unconsciously that the first time she was going to make flowers for Empress Xiaoxian, it was Master Jiu who went out of Beijing secretly and transported suitable herbs for her back from the south without hesitation. Come……

Plants and trees all have aura, and rubbing them with your fingertips like this is like a spiritual connection.It seemed that whenever she raised her head at any time, she would see Master Jiu in a blue robe, with a bright smile on his face, striding into the door, calling excitedly, "Jiu'er, I'm back!"

After a moment of trance, his eyes blurred.

This time Master Jiu really went far, too far... so far away, that he will never come back again.

The scene just now can only be imagined by myself forever and ever, the eyes will never see it again, and the ears will never hear it again...
.
After a long time, she calmed down, and Wanxi just wanted to look away.But unexpectedly, I saw a young and agile figure running towards the threshold!

Wanxi was in a trance for a while, but heard crying from outside: "...Brother, you give it back to me. It's mine, I can't give it to you!"

Wanxi came back to her senses quickly, and only then did she see clearly that the running figure was Xiao Shiwu; and the one who ran in behind crying and crying all the way in, except for Xiao Shiqi, she was not the second person.

——All the princes in the palace obey the rules and wish they could pretend to be a perfect image in front of others. There is only the old son of the emperor. One is young and doesn’t know how to pretend; I'm used to it, even if I don't follow the rules, the emperor doesn't say anything, so who else will say it?This formed a free-spirited temperament, and it was not the first time that such a crying thing happened across half of the Old Summer Palace.

The last time I went to catch the tail of the sika deer raised in the Yuanmingyuan, but the sika deer was unceremoniously whipped on the face with the tail, which made me so annoyed that I had to ask someone to cut off the sika deer's tail—but the deer is Xiangrui, the servants naturally didn't dare, but the [-]th elder brother ran across half of the Old Summer Palace crying like this, insisting on asking his Huang Ama to make the decision.

As a result, Huang Ama laughed for a long while, and didn't get angry with him at all.Still hugging him and giving him a thumbs up, he said, "The sika deer's tail is so short, you still dare to go up and grab it; if the sika deer doesn't give you a leg directly, or spray you in the face, it's already very I like you...you can go ahead!"

When the two sons came, Wanxi felt sad no matter how sad she put them away, and stretched out her arms, "Oh, what kind of play are you two acting together? Come here, come here."

Wanxi first stretched out her arms to hug Xiao Shiwu, and when Xiao Shiqi followed in crying, ouch, there was a water curtain hole under her nose.

Yuchan hurried forward to wipe it off, and then Xiao Shiqi climbed onto the kang and went directly into Wanxi's arms.

"What's the matter, huh?" Wanxi looked down at her two sons.

Although Xiao Shiqi was used to being naive and naive since childhood, and occasionally messed up, but Xiao Shiwu, an older brother, is very sensible, so in the past few years, even Wanxi, who is the mother-in-law of her birth, has never seen her. The two brothers blushed, not to mention that Xiao Shiwu called his brother crying like that and ran all the way here.

Little Shiwu's face was tense, showing a rare determination.

"Ene, look at these."

Xiao Shiwu put out all the objects found in the search.

Xiao Shiqi became anxious, and stretched out his hand to scratch, "It's mine, mine~~Ene, brother robbed me, he won't return it to me~~Ene, hit him and make him stand up!"

Wanxi pushed Xiao Shiqi back, looked at those things carefully, and was a little stunned.

Some of them are very familiar to her.

For example, the emerald wrench that is about to drip, such as the pocket watch that is covered in red gold, and even the eight inner bearings are gold...

Wanxi carefully held her breath and asked, "Where did this come from?"

Xiao Shiqi had never seen E Nie talk to him so seriously before, so it was even more inappropriate. He lowered his head and carefully explained, "Uncle Zhongyong gave it to me~~"

Wanxi's eyes were sore, and she hastily closed them.

In fact, there was another thing inside, which didn't match these things at first, and I don't know why Xiao Shiqi brought it together with a bunch of gold and jade-it was a bunch of cornel fruit.

Because the dogwood fruit is bright red, like agate, a lot of dogwoods are brought into the palace during the Double Ninth Festival, and her birthday is on the ninth day of September, so she was an official woman back then, and her room must be so beautiful. dogwood bonsai.

She plucked the red fruit and strung them together to make bracelets or earrings, and Nianchun and Nianchun would sit on the kang and play with each other when they were free.I didn't know how many I made in total, and I didn't even bother to look for them if they fell somewhere after wearing them.

She really didn't expect that after so many years, this thing could still appear in Jiuye's pile of things...

But she never remembered that it was given to Master Jiu back then, she only remembered that she and Nianchun had closed the door and played with it.They didn't dare to go out with them, afraid that Xianchun would make fun of them, afraid that Suchun and the others would take the opportunity to make trouble...

However, he immediately figured it out.That year Master Jiu was able to come and go to her bedroom in Changchun Palace at will, so seeing it and taking it away was originally a simple matter.

But it’s not right, it was almost 30 years ago, and the cornel fruit, not to mention dry or rotten, might be turned into ashes, how can it still survive until now?

Wanxi opened her eyes hurriedly, and quickly reached out to grab it—only then did she realize that it was a mistake.

It's not that the shape is wrong, but the material is wrong.It is no longer the ordinary dogwood fruit of the past, but it is really made of red agate!
So it's no wonder that Xiao Shiqi, a "little money fan", picked it up as well.

The agate itself is fine, not particularly valuable; but the most precious thing about this string is the handwork—at that moment just now, the owner could make her look down, thinking it was the same string as before; with the stone quality of agate, It is really admirable to be able to imitate the natural texture of vegetation.

I wanted to understand it in my heart, but I didn't have the slightest regret because it wasn't the same string back then, on the contrary—it even moistened my eyes.

There are a total of nine beads in that string. If you look carefully, there are very fine handwriting engraved on them.

Carefully identify it, it is exactly the sentence "planting cornel everywhere, one less person", besides these seven characters, there are two other characters, which are exactly the same two characters: nine, nine.

Wanxi's tears flowed down uncontrollably.

Jiujiu, from the perspective of outsiders, might think it was because the poem was written in Chongyang; but she didn't understand that Jiu and Jiu were actually two people.

Just because "there is one less person planting cornel everywhere", so he was a little stubborn and childish, insisting on stringing two beads engraved with "Nine" next to each other, just like this, and we will live together forever. , no one will leave anyone.

Wanxi pressed the skewer to her heart, and tried her best to hold back her grief.

Master Jiu is gone, gone forever.In the face of the years, flesh and blood are too weak to withstand a single blow, and they are not as good as these gold and jade objects, which can remain in the world for a long time.

What can be called time is not old?What can make the years last forever?
Can manpower really do nothing?

No, actually you can.

As long as you have the heart, there is a way to keep those short and fleeting memories, and after 30 years, you will be happy to meet again at this time.

Master Jiu is gone, but Master Jiu is actually... still there.

Looking around, there are still too many imprints and memories around her like this string.

These are all preserved in the past 30 years. If she wants to take stock again, these imprints and memories will be enough to accompany her for another 30 years.

With her current age, plus 30 years, then she really has no time to grieve and grieve for the rest of her life.

Thinking about it this way, it turned out to be very good.

Wanxi laughed, through tears.

Xiao Shiwu and Xiao 17 both stared blankly at Er Nie, Xiao Shiwu asked worriedly, "E Nie... are you okay?"

Xiao Shiqi also said, "You are good, Ernie... My son doesn't want these things anymore, I will give them to Ernie! Anyway, Uncle Zhongyong also said that if my son doesn't want these, he can only give them to one person, and that is Ernie!"

Wanxi nodded with a smile, touched the heads of her two sons and said, "It's all right, Ernie is all right."

Wanxi helped Xiao Shiqi wipe her nose again, "These things, Xiao Shiqi, tell Enie, do you like them? Do you like them so much?"

Xiao Shiqi thought for a while, "Of course my son likes it. If he didn't like it, why would my son pick it up and bring it back?"

"But do you like it to your heart's eye..." Xiao Shiqi looked up at Wanxi, "But Ernie, what does it mean to like it to your heart's eye? I don't understand~"

Wanxi also laughed.But no, it's difficult for the children.

Wanxi thought for a while, and said softly, "I like it in my heart, that is to say, you can cherish these things like Uncle Zhongyong, keep them with you at all times, and wipe them frequently whenever you have free time... That's right. In this life, you will never get tired of these things, and you will never throw them away."

Xiao Shiqi rested his cheeks, thought about it seriously, and finally shook his head, "Ernie, my son can't do it."

Wanxi is not surprised, after all, the child is still so young.

Wanxi gathered up the bag of things, "Well, Ernie will keep it for you for the time being. The things are still yours, and Ernie doesn't want them. You can ask Ernie to get them at any time."

"It's just that Enie wants to set a rule for you: you are only allowed to take one thing to play every time, and when you have enough fun, send that one back, and then take another one~~"

Xiao Shiqi nodded ignorantly, he just wanted to make Er Nie happy at this moment, as for what these things can do, it's not that important.

"Okay, son agrees to Ernie!" Xiao Shiqi pressed the small bag in Wanxi's arms again, "put it here, Ernie won't cry, ah!"
.
July [-]th, the day before Seventh Princess and Jing got married.

On this day, as usual, officials were sent to deliver dowry.Over the past few months, Wanxi and Wanbi have personally watched the dazzlingly complicated various dowries, which were sent by carts like flowing water to Prince Chaoyong's mansion in central Beijing.

Arriving at Prince Chaoyong's mansion together with the dowry delivery team, there are also the internal management women carefully selected by the Ministry of Internal Affairs who are compatible with the seven princesses and the seven forehead consorts. stand up.

On July 21, the Seventh Princess finally put on her wedding dress, and the wedding ceremony took place.

Early on this day, Prince Chaoyong, Cheng Gun Zhabu, accompanied the seven foreheads, and led the people to respectfully enter the emperor with twenty-nine pommels and horses, a total of eighteen; Ten seats, 81 sheep Jiujiu, 45 bottles of milk wine and rice wine.

This is the "nine-nine ceremony", which reflects the reverence and cherishment of the consort's family for the princess.

Because of Princess Gu Lun's wedding ceremony, two banquets will be held.Today is the first time that the emperor visited the Zhengda Guangming Hall in person, and bestowed the blessings on Prince Chenggunzabu of Khalkha, his son-in-law Lawangduoerji, and his relatives.

Not only the relatives of the son-in-law's family, but also the royal family princes, university scholars and ministers and other important officials of the court attended the banquet at the same time.

After the banquet, the seventh princess and the seventh concubine saluted and bid farewell to the emperor and Wanxi.

Looking at her daughter in Princess Gulun's court dress, Wanxi's eyes blurred again.

Princess Gulun faces the crown, with smoked mink in winter and green velvet in summer, adorned with Zhuwei.

Three layers of gold are carved on the top of the crown, decorated with ten east pearls and rubies on the top; five golden peacocks are decorated on the top of Zhuwei, seven each of east pearls and 39 small pearls.

Behind the crown, there is a golden peacock at the back, three rows of two hanging beads, one lapis lazuli knot with a golden title in the middle, three each of eastern beads, and coral at the end.

There are two golden ribbons hanging from the rear collar, coral at the end, and blue satin ribbons.

Wear a gold contract around your neck.Nine engraved gold clouds, decorated with one oriental bead each, with a lapis lazuli red piece of gold in the middle, and a lapis lazuli knot with a gold title at the back. Four pearls and four pearls each, with coral at the end.

Earrings, three on the left and three on the left and two on each gold cloud bead
……

Even before he had time to take a closer look at Xiao Qi's body, it was just above her neck that was already full of pearls and jades, shining brightly.

It was the first time even Wanxi saw Xiao Qi's dignified and noble appearance.I vaguely felt that the person walking towards me and bowing down on the worship mat was no longer the little daughter I had raised since I was a child, but an eighteen or twenty-year-old girl.

Such slenderness, such beauty and tranquility, such nobility and elegance, such... makes people reluctant to part with it.

After accepting this ceremony and doing this farewell, Xiaoqi will leave the palace confinement, marry into Prince Chaoyong's mansion, and become the Fujin of Lawang.

Although she is a princess stationed in Beijing, she doesn't have to follow the flag, and she can meet each other at any time during the New Year's Eve... But after all, after her daughter gets married, it means that a new chapter has begun, which is different from before.

Wanxi could hardly control herself.

The emperor stretched out his hand, held Wanxi's hand warmly and powerfully, and squeezed gently to show comfort.

Wanxi tried her best to hold back, and stared at the couple with a smile.

Today's Lawang is not wearing Mongolian costumes.He is the prince's son, so on such an important occasion, he can only wear Gu Lun's forehead gown.

The imperial uniform of the Qing Dynasty suppressed his Mongolian boldness for the time being, and the stone blue color of his body showed the temperament of a young man like jade.Just like the longevity god most respected by the Mongolians, his blue body shows the generosity of Lawang's personality, as wide as the sea and as high as the sky.

Wanxi nodded reassuringly, and after receiving the gift from the child, Wanxi got up and walked down to the ground herself, holding Lawang's hand, "Good boy, you are already my son; since you were two years old, I have already taken you Be my child."

"Although I feel a little uncomfortable today, I am happy in my heart. I am not marrying a daughter, I am... I am so happy to see that you can finally bring Liansheng home, and you will no longer be blocked by us elders went."
