Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 1177 Grand
In Li's room, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are talking.

Chuyu held a pouch in her hand, with a navy blue bottom, embroidered with patterns of five poisons in gold thread.The golden scorpions, toads, etc., but the size of a thumbnail, are lifelike.On the eyes, there are small rubies the size of rice grains.

The gold thread is easy to break, and doing labor is the most difficult thing.Even if it is embroidered with gold thread, it is mostly for bordering or color matching. If it is all embroidered with gold thread like this, even if it is only half a palm-sized purse, it will take ten and a half months.

Chu Yu touched her purse, with envy on her face, said: "After all, it's the old lady who gave the daughter-in-law a sense. When will the daughter-in-law be able to do such delicate work..."

Mrs. Li said with a smile: "You have to educate your sister and host the middle school. How can you have the time to do this? I'm just free and use it to pass the day. It's rare that Master Sixteen is here. It's the festival scene."

In two days, it will be the Dragon Boat Festival, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are talking about the festival.

It's just because I'm afraid that Elder Sixteen will be bored staying here, so I've already decided on the theater troupe, and I'm going to have wine and a family banquet on the Dragon Boat Festival, making it a lively day.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were having a lot of fun, when Chu Yu's servant girl, Le Lan, came to look for Chu Yu, and said, "Old lady, madam, there are female relatives coming to pay their respects, and the master invites his wife to come over."

Mrs. Li heard this, and hurriedly said to Chu Yu: "Go and do your work, I happen to be exhausted too, I need to take a rest."

Chu Yu got up to answer, and followed Le Lan out.

As Le Chun and the others matched each other one after another, Le Lan and Le Lian became the top maidservants around Chu Yu.

"Why is the master looking for me?" After leaving the house, Chu Yu asked Le Lan in a low voice.

If it is true that the female relatives of the officialdom come and go, they have to ask someone to send a post a few days in advance, how can they not send a post, and just come to the Governor's Mansion as an "uninvited guest"?
"I don't know, my servant is delivering today's menu to the kitchen. When I meet the master, the master will send my servant to invite my wife." Le Chun replied.

While talking, he walked out of the courtyard gate and saw Cao Yong waiting here.

Chu Yu walked a few steps quickly, stepped forward and said, "Master!"

Cao Yong let out a long breath, and said in a low voice: "Go back and change your clothes first, Brother Jiu is gone, Master Sixteen told you to come over."

Chu Yu was taken aback, didn't bother to ask, went back to the room, hurriedly changed into plain clothes, and removed the jewelry on her head and wrists.

At this moment, Cao Yong also changed his official uniform and wore a blue cloth dress.

The husband and wife went to the courtyard where Brother Nine was.

On the way, Cao Yong explained in a few words what happened before and after the death of Brother Jiu.

Having just said this, it's time to get to the place.

Outside the yard, several people stood.In addition to the dusty Hang Seng, there are also several guards from Hongli.

"Father, mother." Hang Seng greeted his parents when he saw them.

"Si Prince is back?" Cao Yong asked.

"Well, I just came back, so come here directly." Only then did Hang Seng notice the clothes on his parents, and his expression changed.

Cao Yong nodded, and said to Hang Seng: "If the fourth elder brother didn't explain anything else, you can go back to freshen up. The matter here is not to participate in the cooperation."

On Hongli's side, there is a letter sent by the sixteenth elder brother.

Even though Hongli is only 16 years old, he is the king of the prince.He's in Zhili, so he can't do anything about elder brother Jiu.

In addition, Elder Sixteen's intention in this way is to prevent that his request to send an imperial physician is not worthwhile, and if he recruits a prince, he can also have multiple opportunities.

Hongli seemed to be quite concerned about this matter, which is why he rushed back so soon.It's just that most people in the world are unsatisfactory. If they arrived two quarters of an hour earlier, they might be able to see Brother Jiu for the last time.

In the room, Elder Sixteen sat on a stool with red eye circles, while Hongli stood aside, looking at the kang.

Hearing footsteps, both uncle and nephew turned their heads and looked at the door.Elder Sixteen's face was numb, and Hong Li's face was still confiscated with shock.

The sixteenth elder brother nodded at Cao Yong and Chu Yu, stood up, and said to Hongli: "How to take care of his affairs after his death must be done according to the order. But from Qingyuan to Beijing, it will take three months at the fastest." A genius can have a will to come here... Although he is expelled from the clan, he is still the blood of the former emperor and the Aixinjueluo family, so he can't be allowed to wait so sloppily... I plan to bury him for him. Or not?"

The dead are great.

Not only did Hongli not question or object, but he also took the initiative to mention being a helper for the sixteenth elder brother.

He admired the former emperor the most, and he also had benevolence in his heart. Seeing that Brother Jiu was so miserable, he couldn't help but blame the emperor for being too harsh on Brother Jiu.

Brother Sixteen looked at Hongli and said, "Your status is precious, you just look at it, you don't need to mix it up."

Hongli blushed, and said: "Nephew knows that Uncle Sixteen loves him, but nephew also wants to do his best."

Brother Sixteen saw that his gaze was determined, so he didn't say much, turned to Chuyu and said, "He Rui, I want you to comb his hair. If you are afraid, you can arrange for a handy maid to come."

Chu Yu's heart was soft after all, she already shed tears, choked up and said: "My niece is not afraid, when my niece Erniang left, she also combed her hair..."

Small burial is "clothes burial", and the dead are to be put on shrouds.

Before the burial, one has to clean the face, comb the hair, cut the nails, and clean up the dead before putting on the shroud.

Brother Sixteen didn't send someone to buy a ready-made shroud from the red and white shop, but ordered someone to go back to Yin Hotel to pick up a new suit that he had no upper body on.

Cao Yong has taken care of funerals and personally burialed Mr. Zhuang and Cao Yinyi. He knows that shrouds must be worn in cotton jackets and trousers regardless of the seasons.

No matter how many clothes Brother Sixteen has, they are all summer clothes.

When Chu Yu sent someone back to the room to comb the hair box, Cao Yong said: "I remember that the two sets of cotton clothes I added last year had no upper body, so I asked someone to find out a set. This is the order. Be careful, Mr. Sixteen I can feel better..."

After half an hour, everything that should be prepared is ready.

In this small room, a seemingly shabby but grand funeral ceremony was held.

There were only four people who carried out the small funeral.

But it includes a prince, a prince, a princess, and a governor of the world.

The sixteenth elder brother sat on the kang, shaving the head and beard for the ninth elder brother. Chuyu stood aside and cut his nails and combed his hair. Cao Yong turned the "shroud" upside down and put it together. superior.

After tidying up all these, Brother Jiu finally lost his previous dirty and sloppy appearance, showing a bit of affluence.

Chu Yu took out a perforated pearl from her purse, threaded it through with a red thread, stuffed the pearl into Brother Jiu's mouth, and tied the red thread to Brother Jiu's lapel.

Li Cheng.

When the sixteenth elder brother got off the kang and went up and down the ground, he staggered and couldn't stand still.

He supported the wall and took two steps, and then said to Cao Yong: "Let someone draw some ice and come over...wait..."

Before the words fell, the other person was already soft, sliding down the wall.Looking at his pale face and sunken eyes, it seems that he is tired from taking care of Brother Nine these days.

Cao Yong hurriedly supported him and said, "Master Sixteen, you should take a good rest..."

Brother Sixteen nodded, was supported, and went back to Yin Hotel...

The arrangements for the Dragon Boat Festival finally fell through.Cao Yong and Chu Yu's excuse was that Brother Sixteen was not feeling well, so they canceled the excitement.

Mrs. Li didn't think much about it. Originally, most of the arrangements were made for Elder Sixteen's happiness.Since Elder Sixteen is currently in poor health and is not in the mood to listen to music or watch plays, it is reasonable to cancel the previous arrangement.

On the second day of the Dragon Boat Festival, the emperor's second decree came to Qingyuan together with the two imperial physicians who arrived late.

The emperor decreed that the sixteenth elder brother sent the ninth elder brother's coffin back to Beijing...

*
Yuanmingyuan, next to Yutian.

Yongzheng stood by the field, looking at the stubble left after harvesting in the imperial field, and remained silent for a while.

The thirteenth elder brother stood aside, accompanied quietly, and did not speak.

After another cup of tea, Yongzheng turned his head and said, "Go to Prince Heng's mansion to deliver an order, ordering him to take care of Yunyu's funeral."

The thirteenth elder brother felt relieved when he heard the words, and hurriedly bowed in response.

His Majesty's meeting today is to make arrangements for Brother Nine's funeral.

The emperor's previous decree only said that the sixteenth elder brother should return to Beijing, but did not mention the follow-up after returning to Beijing.

The thirteenth elder brother doesn't want to see the ninth elder brother's death is too bleak, and he doesn't want the emperor to do too much and bear the infamy...

*
Qingyuan, Governor's Mansion.

As the sixteenth elder brother left, Hongli couldn't sit still, and hurriedly led someone to find Tang Zhiyu to continue his "errand".

At the Governor's Mansion, except for Chu Yu who had been sad for a few days, no one else knew about it, and everyone's life was still going on.

Brother Sixteen's hasty departure made Li a little sad, and complained several times: "If I had known that Master Sixteen would return to Beijing so early, I should have made preparations early, and I could bring something back to the concubine. So In a hurry, I didn’t have time to prepare anything.”

Cao Yong persuaded: "Wait until the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month, the empress dowager will be able to leave the palace. At that time, just send a few more cars, and it will be cheaper than sending things to the palace."

After hearing this, Mrs. Li stopped mentioning it.

Now Cao Yong is looking forward to returning to Beijing.

Originally, I thought about taking my family outside, so I felt a bit more leisurely.Everyone else is doing well, the children have made new classmates and friends, and Chuyu handles official women like a duck to water.

Only Mrs. Li, there are few people who can talk, it is better to be in Beijing, where there are many relatives and old friends, and there are relatives of the same generation or older relatives to socialize.

If not, Mrs. Li would never forget Concubine Mi.

Fortunately, Cao Yong received a letter from Cao Song a few days after the Dragon Boat Festival.

This year is the year of the draft, and the fourth sister is on the roster of the show girls, and she will go to Beijing to review the selection.

Mrs. Zhao Jia was worried about her daughter and wanted to go back to Beijing with her.

As there are still several months left for the draft, Mrs. Zhao Jia decided to take her daughter to Qingyuan for a short stay before returning to Beijing.

The mother and son set off after the Dragon Boat Festival. Counting the days, they will disembark at Cangzhou and change land routes around the fifteenth day.

After hearing this, Mrs. Li was really happy.

The distance from Cangzhou to Qingyuan is about the same as the distance from Qingyuan to the capital.

The day after Cao Yong received the letter, he asked Zhang Yi to take a few people to Cangzhou to pick him up.

After May [-]th, Mrs. Li began to talk about where Mrs. Zhao Jia's mother and daughter were going, and how many days it would take to arrive.

After waiting for this, it took until May 21st for Zhao Jia and the fourth sister to arrive at Qingyuan with Zhang Yi...

Khan, there are only three votes behind to catch up. Xiao Jiu begged for a monthly ticket, a monthly ticket, a monthly ticket.
