Ugly peasant girl in space

Chapter 602
Qingli has already guessed the result, maybe this is good news for her family, but it's just a coincidence at this juncture, even if it's after the Dragon Boat Festival, she doesn't blame her brother at all, because most of the things he did were For the good of my family.

"Longan, are you going to the kitchen?"

On the way back to the main courtyard, Qingli saw the longan coming out of the door, she ordered, "Go to the kitchen and serve the rice dumplings, bring some of each stuffing, and then send it to the front yard to order, let them all taste it, It’s good to pad your stomach, but you don’t have to wait until what time for dinner.”

"Miss, servant girl is going now."

Looking at Longan's hurried back, Qingli sighed, and asked the maid to go to the shop to inform that today she only works until noon, and it is considered a welfare for everyone to have a holiday in the afternoon.

In the side hall of the fourth aunt, they were chatting happily, Qingli saw that the fourth aunt was a little tired, "Fourth aunt, you are a double body now, you should take a rest, you wake up too early in the morning."

Qingli took the opportunity to feel the pulse of the fourth aunt. After this period of recuperation, the fetus has sat firmly, and there should be no major problems. The fourth aunt needs to rest now, otherwise she won't know if she will have a chance to sleep in the afternoon.

"Yes, fourth daughter-in-law, you should take a nap quickly."

They are all from her own family, so she doesn't need her fourth aunt to accompany her. Qingli helped her fourth aunt Chen to the inner room, and performed a stun technique to make her sleep peacefully. She returned to the side hall and waited for the news from her elder brother.

At noon, a rapid bell was heard in the yard. The sound gave out a loud roar and echo, which could be heard throughout the capital. Everyone was chatting, when suddenly they heard the bell, Wen's expression changed.

"Why is there a bell here, is there a temple nearby?"

Mother didn't know the customs in Kyoto, she thought that on the day of Dragon Boat Festival in Kyoto, a bell would ring, and the hourglass showed that it was just noon, and anyone who was taking a nap would be woken up by the bell.

"No, this is the death knell. It seems that there will be no dragon boat competition in the next afternoon."

Wen sighed, stood up, and bid farewell to the crowd. It seemed that he was a relative of the emperor, otherwise there would not have been such a big commotion in Beijing.There is a custom in Dazhou, the higher the status, the more times the bell will ring, and it has been continuous ups and downs since just now, it must be a big person, she must go back to the mansion quickly, and wait for the people in the palace to come in to report the funeral.

"Death knell? This..."

The uncle and the second uncle had never been to the capital, and they were shocked. The person who can shake the capital must not be simple. Who could it be?
"Aunt Wen, you can go back, don't worry, I'm still in the house, I know what to do."

With a calm expression, Qingli stood up and sent Wen Shi to the second gate. She didn't turn around until she got into the carriage, and told the housekeeper to replace all the red lanterns with white ones, and the house had to open the door. Lingfan, all the servants in the family must wear plain clothes, and she has to go back and explain to her family.

"Girl Li, what's the matter?"

Grandma Li was in a hurry, and Wen's expression was serious. She thought that something bad had happened, but she was a farmer from the village, and she didn't dare to ask.

"Grandma, it should be the Empress Dowager who passed away."

Qingli was still calm, pointing at the big red dress of the auntie and said, "Auntie, you have to change into a dress, and don't wear gold hairpins on your head, the more plain the better."

After a while, there must be officials from the Ministry of Rites and people from the palace coming to report the funeral. At this time, the other party must not be able to see a problem, otherwise it would be really wrong to wear a small shoe.

"The empress dowager? Mom, that's the emperor's old lady, this..."

The second aunt was taken aback. After arriving in the capital, life has undergone earth-shaking changes. It happened to catch up with the death of the empress dowager. Are ordinary people like them going to cry?
"It's okay, it has nothing to do with our family."

Qingli comforted everyone, according to the rules of the Great Zhou Dynasty, if the empress dowager dies, the emperor will stop court for three days and weep in front of the coffin of the empress dowager, and a woman of high rank will also kneel at the gate of the inner city of Kyoto and cry for three days, within a month Stop drinking and banqueting, and stop marrying within three months. It just so happened that Xu Ying married Shan Shizi today, and I don't know if the ceremony has been completed. It's really embarrassing to catch up with such a day.

Martial law has been imposed in the capital, and soon the news spread. Shen Bingyu saw many officials from the Jingzhaoyin Yamen, as well as the Imperial Forest Army along the way. When he saw people in red clothes who had not been replaced, they were arrested and put in prison. After hearing the death knell, It means that the royal family has a funeral, and they dare to hang around in the street in festive clothes, purely looking for death.

Going around all the way, finally returned to the mansion, just happened to run into officials from the Ministry of Rites who came outside to announce the funeral, the little eunuch in the palace passed the emperor's oral order, the empress dowager was dead, I heard that she was assassinated a few days ago, but she was not injured at all okay?Could it be that the news was concealed at that time, and it was no longer possible?

"Miss Xiaoyu, how is the situation outside?"

Qingli replaced the hairpin with a silver hairpin. She dressed in a low-key and simple way. She was wearing a plain white dress in the morning. It seemed that she really had the foresight.She knew very well in her heart that Yelu Chuhuan, the eldest son of Lunan Prince, did not succeed in the assassination last time, but he himself was seriously injured, so the empress dowager's death must be her elder brother...

"It's already under martial law, and it's hard to come back."

Shen Bingyu patted her chest, her face was pale, "Sister Li, did you tell my aunt to cry when someone came from the palace just now? Now my aunt has two bodies, and there is no shelter in the inner city. Look, the sun is hot today. , Kneeling for half an hour and fainting, Zensheng is good?"

The empress dowager said that Emperor Hongde's mother and child are deeply in love, and she will be sad for a while. Even if it is a fake, if the play is done to the end, you have to pretend. It's a rule, my aunt has no other choice.

"I'll accompany my fourth aunt later, and then I'll find a way."

Qingli frowned tightly, the most urgent thing is that her mansion should be the same as others, the royal funeral has not been caught up in so many years in Kyoto, she knows the limited rules, so she can only go to the second-floor building in the back garden to visit the neighbors What to do, we have to set up a coffin at the gate of the mansion.

After a while, Fei Yu, who was beside Wen's, came to see Qingli and told him about some royal funeral rules. Fortunately, the butler knew a lot about it, and the house was organized in an orderly manner, and the servants were all busy in an orderly manner.

After getting the news, Mrs. Chen got up and asked Longan to help her change into plain white clothes. She was dressed properly and plainly. Qingli brought vanilla and a strong old woman Chunyu Wen gave her, and was about to go to Ermen to take a carriage out of the house.

"Fourth daughter-in-law, this crying spirit will cry for three days. You have a body, but you can't stand such torture!"

"Yeah, otherwise, can we go for you, anyone is fine, in better health than you."

My family also came to the second gate, with worried faces, as the eldest brother said, a good Dragon Boat Festival, messed up, how did the queen mother die, there is no news now, it is likely to be successfully assassinated, that old woman is so ruthless, If he escaped the first day of the junior high school and failed to escape the fifteenth day, he would be considered to have suffered retribution, but it was really unlucky to choose such a day.
