Ugly peasant girl in space

Chapter 603 The Situation (1)
"Grandma, auntie, you all go back, this is the rule, I will follow."

Qingli helped the fourth aunt to get into the carriage first, and turned around to explain to Shen Bingyu about the family affairs. She was the only one with experience. At this time, someone must be able to sit in the mansion and help with some trivial matters. People pick up problems, but now in Kyoto, many people are staring at General Zhongmu's mansion.

The crying spirit is still a bit humane, at least not crying for a day and a night, but sitting there for a long time, crying until the moon is in the sky is also suffering, Qingli let out a sigh of relief, and then followed into the carriage .

"Girl Li, you said the queen mother is not well, why suddenly..."

The fourth aunt, Mrs. Chen, had a look of reluctance. It was hard for the family to get together for the festival, and some incidents came up, and she couldn’t dodge it. She stopped drinking and banqueting within a month. At this time, she couldn’t go to the theater. It’s not easy for the family to come to Kyoto once. Really, The empress dowager is vicious, even when she dies, she chooses the time to destroy the chance of family reunion.

"Fourth aunt, be careful, I'm afraid it was..."

Qingli made a gesture of wiping her neck, which startled the fourth aunt, and immediately fell silent. Qingli was comforting the fourth aunt along the way, saying that she didn't have to worry, she carried pills and golden needles with her, and she would definitely keep the unborn baby Little cousin.

Arriving at the gate of the inner city, many officials and wives have already arrived. Almost all of them are in plain clothes and their faces are facing the sky. At this time, everyone is smart enough not to wear makeup. After a while, the death knell rings again, and everyone will kneel down and cry, with snot and tears , will take makeup.

"Qingli, you are here too, I said, can your fourth aunt do this?"

As soon as the carriage stopped, Qingli was pulled aside by Shui Linghuan. Regarding the crying spirit, the wives of each family have their own places, and the first lady is in the front. By analogy, the fourth aunt happens to be in the fourth row. The peddlers who sell vegetables occupy the same place, and use white lime to mark out an open space, probably to take care of these ladies. There is also a small table next to each of them, with teapots and tea bowls on it.

Qingli patrolled around, then turned her head, and answered Shui Linghuan, "Are you here with your aunt? I think my fourth aunt's place is on the far side, so I'm lucky. It's close to the wall, so it's not bad." cool."

It's not that the Qingli family is lucky, but we should thank the eldest brother Mo Zigui. The person who drew the line and allocated the place was a small official from the Ministry of Rites. Finding a good place is not so easy, you need to think about it at the first time and make a response.

Over there, Ruan Ranran, who hadn't seen her for a long time, appeared in the first row. When she saw Qingli and Shui Linghuan, she walked over quickly. Usually, there were always people staring at her. Unexpectedly, while the queen mother was crying, the sisters could see each other. one side.

"See the fourth concubine."

Qingli and Shui Linghuan were about to kneel down, but they were held back by Ruan Ranran. Her complexion was much better than last time at the royal hunting ground. Her complexion was paler, and her body was plump. It seemed that she had a good life recently.

"What are you in a hurry for? There will be time to kneel down later."

The queen mother died, Ruan Ranran was not sad at all, but was very happy in her heart. For her, this was a great joy. After returning home at night, she must talk a lot in front of her husband's bed. When he left the mansion, there were people watching him on weekdays. Yelu Chuyang kept pretending to be unconscious. It was she who sat beside his bed every day, pretending to express his heartfelt feelings, but actually delivering news from outside.

"Sister Ran Ran, have you heard the news? Why is the Empress Dowager at this time... Really, the carriages are all ready, and I was going to watch the dragon boat race, but it was a waste of time."

Shui Linghuan took out a handkerchief, wiped ginger water on it, wiped her eyes, immediately turned red, tears flowed out, her expression was mournful, she looked really sad for the death of the Queen Mother.

"There was no news from the palace at all. I only found out after hearing the death knell. But Ling Huan, your handkerchief..."

Ruan Ranran stared at Shui Linghuan's handkerchief, it was a magic weapon, because the empress dowager who passed away was also the grandmother of the fourth prince Yelu Chuyang, so all the servants in the house had to wear sackcloth and filial piety, and she had to make decisions on many small matters. But I forgot about this, and I will cry for a while and put on a show.

"I have prepared a few, this one is yours."

Shui Linghuan took out a veil and gave it to Ruan Ranran, Qingli shook her head and said no, she has pills, and tears will flow after taking it, but to replenish water, you need to drink more water, otherwise your eyes will be dry after a while.

The fourth concubine Ruan Ranran is the daughter-in-law of the royal family. She needs to cry in the palace. She has not yet entered the city gate. After she leaves, Qing Li looks at Shui Linghuan, "You look so pale, you look a little bad. What's going on, have you been sick recently?"

"That's not true, look at my memory, I almost forgot, and thank you for the pills, otherwise I will die!"

Shui Linghuan's big eyes were flickering, and he pulled Qingli with an exaggerated expression, and said mysteriously, "Last time you gave me a pill, and said that it would make me sick immediately after taking it. We went back from Xu Ying's mansion that day, guess what? What's the matter, the Third Prince's Mansion really sent someone over, saying it was for a visit!"

It was really dangerous to mention what happened that day. Thanks to the pills given by Qingli, Shui Linghuan successfully pretended to be sick and escaped the catastrophe. It is said that the woman in the third prince's house liked her very much and wanted to report it to her. Chongxi is a side concubine, oh my god, there is no difference between a side concubine and a concubine, if she is still a concubine for that perverted third prince Yelu Churen, then she might as well hang herself with a piece of noodles.

"It turns out that's the case. I can't remember it if you don't mention it."

Qingli nodded, the fourth aunt was still waiting, so she couldn't say anything more, she had greeted Shui Linghuan, and dragged her fourth aunt to the bottom of the wall. Although the position is off, there are many advantages, at least not attracting attention , the skirt is long enough to cover it up, the kneeling posture is the best, the prominent position in the middle, the hot sun, if you kneel under the bottom for less than an hour, you will definitely pass out, these officials and wives are delicate and weak, but what Can bear this kind of climate, the queen mother will harm people when she is alive, and will not let people live in peace when she is dead!

The sun at noon is the hottest time of the day. It burns on the skin and feels hot to the touch, making people feel like they are on fire. It is best to stay indoors on such a day, or go to the village to escape the heat and drink A cup of iced sour plum soup can relieve the heat and calm the irritability of the mind.

At this time, at the gate of the palace in the inner city of Kyoto, a large number of official wives in plain dresses have gathered. Almost everyone is frowning, and there is a faint look of sadness on their faces. I don't know if it is because of the sudden death of the Queen Mother. , still worried about crying under the sun.

Qingli helped her fourth aunt to reach the bottom of the wall, and beside her was a lady who was born in the face. Qingli didn't remember seeing this person. This lady was wearing a pure white dress and a white flower on her hair. , with delicate eyebrows and eyes, about thirty years old, giving people a strong bookish look, she looks like a lady trained by a scholar, but she doesn't have the posture of being a housewife.
