Farmer’s Little Girl

  Chapter 2019 National Funeral

  Because of the death of the Queen Mother, not only the Chongwenguan, but also the Imperial College also had a temporary holiday. The emperor then issued an edict to observe the filial piety among the people in March, and no banquet was allowed in March;

  Officials keep their filial piety for June, and cannot marry or banquet within six months;

  The clan is the same as the officials, but the children of the royal family have to stay as long as the emperor for 27 months.

  It was supposed to rule out marrying women, but because of the queen mother’s last words, the emperor also knew that she wanted Princess Yunfeng to take this opportunity to raise her body, so she didn’t add this one.

  Without the addition, the married girl does not need to be satisfied with filial piety, it is just a convention that is agreed upon, and it depends on each person’s feelings if they do not observe it.

  Knowing the inside story, Madam Dou and Princess Yunfeng hinted: “Princess Mingda and Princess Changyu must keep their feet for 27 months. The empress always loves the princess, and the county chief shouldn’t keep their feet?”

   Princess Yunfeng’s eyes were red and swollen and said, “Of course I have to keep my feet and filial piety. Why does the mother ask me like this?”

   Madam Dou soothed: "The slave is worried about you and the county horse, but you have a deep relationship with the county horse. It shouldn't be the case. It's the slave and the county horse."

   Yunfeng wiped his tears and said: "They can keep it, and I must keep it too. Even if he orders me not to keep it, I will keep it."

  Hearing this somewhat resentful sentence, Madam Dou was taken aback, and quickly said: "The princess is too happy to be happy with this filial piety, so why would she stop it?"

   Yunfeng did not speak.

Madam Dou could only sigh, and the Queen Mother gave Madam Dou to Princess Yunfeng before she died. The original intention was to let her take care of Princess Yunfeng and to persuade her well, but now it seems that this task is a bit difficult.

  She originally wanted to be brought up here with Princess Yunfeng.

   Princess Yunfeng cried in private, then turned around and went to cry in front of the Queen Mother’s spirit.

  The emperor stopped the queen mother for forty-nine days, and then he helped the coffin to be buried in the imperial mausoleum. After returning, the royal family began to observe filial piety.

Because of this funeral, many people in Beijing are sick. Of course, most of them are exhausted and do not require an imperial doctor. It is just that Man Bao heard Zheng Gu said that Ji Shitang often went out for medical treatment recently, and Doctor Ding and the others made money. A lot of consultation fees.

Man Bao also listened. At the time, she was thinking about the "Qing Sang Jing" in her hand. The beginning of this medical book had a few pages damaged. She could only take it to the Hanlin Academy to ask someone to help repair some of the words. It's really scribbled. If you don't know, you should also ask for advice.

It’s just that the people in the Hanlin Academy are also busy. Man Bao doesn’t have much face in the Hanlin Academy. After running for half a month, it didn’t work. In the end, Bai Shan took her to ask for Kong Jijiu, and then Kong Jijiu took the two. I went to see Zhang Hanlin of the Hanlin Academy. He was responsible for checking history books and recorded books. He was knowledgeable and upright. He had no shortcomings except being too busy.

  But when Kong Jijiu came forward, Zhang Hanlin still agreed to help, but he only knew a little about medical books, so he could repair it first, but later proofreading would require Zhou Man’s cooperation.

  Man Bao couldn’t ask for it, but it was a pity that Zhang Hanlin didn’t have much time, and Man Bao was also busy. The two of them checked the time and finally found a time to come to the school team.

  So Manbao is even busier.

  Bai Shan is also busy. He has decided to try to take the Jinshi exam with Bai Dalang next year, so his studies will be very heavy. Not only Mr. Zhuang, but also Kong Jijiu, have intentionally deepened the difficulty of his schoolwork.

  So, Bai Shan, Feng Zongping, and Yi Ziyang who were interested in taking part in the Jinshi Examination next year were separated from the others.

  Bai Shan dragged Bai Erlang together. At first he was able to keep up, but it was a bit difficult for him to follow. He wanted to give up. In fact, he didn't mind taking the same class as Zhao Liulang and others.

  Ke Bai Shan said: "We are brothers, we say good things are blessed and shared, and those who have difficulties share the same."

  White Erlang was about to cry, "It’s hard for me, but not for you. I have to stay up late for the same homework. It’s too unfair that you can run to Manbao to check the information."

You can’t be too troubled or smile when he hears the words. He has the same class as them, but he has never studied, and gentlemen rarely ask him because he knows that he won’t take the exam, and he won’t even be an official in the future. He is the least able to understand Shirajiro's pain.

   Seeing him smile, Bai Erlang was even weaker, and he lay down on the table and was sad for a long time. Finally, he got up and continued to do his schoolwork.

  Although Bai Shan and Man Bao did not say anything, he vaguely knew that they might be going to study abroad in the next two years, and take a test before studying, whether it is successful or not.

  It is done. After going out to study, take the examinations of the Ministry of Etiquette and the Ministry of Officials, and then you can choose officials.

  He also wants to go out and study with them.

  Because of their busyness, when the first snowfall in the capital came down, they were surprised that the time had passed so fast, and the palace gave them a ten-year holiday in advance.

The students were a little happy, but there were also some worries. Zhao Liulang couldn't help but quietly ask Man Bao to inquire, "These two ten-day holidays are not at the right time. I heard that your Majesty will not go to the Dachao meeting twice, even the little ones. The meeting has been pushed three times, Zhou Man, is your Majesty sick?"

  Man Baodao: "Is it sick? Wouldn't it be clearer if you go back and ask your father? Or turn left and ask your cousin."

  Zhao Liulang: "...If my father would tell me, can I still ask you?"

Not to mention the prince, he didn't dare to ask if he was good.

  Man Bao said: "Your father won't tell you, let alone I will tell you."

  Zhao Liulang actually thought it made sense, but he also figured out something. His Majesty must be in poor health, otherwise Zhou Man must say that the emperor is in good health. Why bother to talk to him?

   Zhao Liulang felt uncomfortable, so he turned around and left.

  Man Bao was stunned, and couldn’t help but ask Bai Shan, “When did Zhao Liulang have such a deep feeling for His Majesty?”

   "What is so profound," Bai Erlang said, "He is sad and can't go to Pingkangfang."

  Man Bao:……

  Bai Shan smiled and said: “You forgot that he borrowed a thousand taels from us on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival. Didn’t he take the money when he came to pick up the lobby brother to the flower banquet?”

  Man Bao: ...she really forgot, who made the Queen Mother of Sixteen become very ill that night?

Bai Shan said: "He took the money on his front foot, and he encountered the national funeral on his hind foot. He didn't dare to go to Pingkangfang with his ten courage. It is still a national funeral, but the outside control is not so strict, although no one dares to be fair Dinner, but Pingkangfang also has a lot of business, so he must have moved his mind."

  Man Bao: "He is so courageous, what he wants to keep is not three months, but six months!"

  Really, the courage is quite big.

  Bai Shan smiled, "He is mainly reluctant to bear the beauty of Jiangnan. By the way, is your Majesty really sick?"

"No," Man Bao said without concealing himself from his people, "but it's considered sick. It's the queen who is sick, plus the queen mother has passed away. He is not in a good mood, but it's okay. It should be fine in a while."

See you tomorrow
