Because the Empress Dowager died of illness, not only the Chongwen Museum, but also the Guozijian was temporarily closed. The emperor then issued an edict that the folks observe filial piety in March, and no banquets or weddings are allowed in March;
Officials observe filial piety for six months, and cannot marry and have banquets within six months;
The clan is the same as the officials, but the children of the royal family have to stay for 27 months like the emperor.
Married daughters should have been excluded, but because of the queen mother's last words, the emperor also knew that she wanted Princess Yunfeng to take this opportunity to take care of her body, so she didn't add this one.
If there is no addition, the married woman does not need to be filial piety, it is just a customary rule, and it depends on each person's affection whether to abide by it or not.
Nanny Dou, who knew the inside story, hinted to Princess Yunfeng: "Princess Mingda and Princess Changyu have to guard for twenty-seven months. Your Majesty has always loved the princess, so don't princesses keep their feet?"
Princess Yunfeng's eyes were red and swollen and said: "Of course I have to be filial, why does the nanny ask me like this?"
Mother Dou comforted her, "I'm worried that you and the county horse will be separated, but you and the county horse have a deep relationship, so it shouldn't be so. It's because this servant is thinking badly."
Yunfeng wiped her tears and said: "They can guard it, so I must too. Even if he ordered me not to guard it, I will also guard it."
Hearing these resentful words, Madam Dou was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "It's too late for the princess to have such a filial piety, His Majesty is happy, so why would she stop her?"
Yunfeng didn't speak.
Aunt Dou could only sigh. The Queen Mother gave Aunt Dou to Princess Yunfeng before she died, with the intention of letting her take care of Princess Yunfeng and persuade her, but now it seems that this task is a bit difficult.
She originally wanted to be honored and raised by Princess Yunfeng.
After Yunfeng County Master cried in private, he turned around and went to cry in front of the Queen Mother's spirit.
The emperor asked the queen mother to rest for forty-nine days, and then he personally carried the coffin to the imperial tomb for burial. After returning, the members of the royal family began to observe filial piety.
Because of this funeral, many people in Beijing fell ill. Of course, most of them were caused by exhaustion, and they didn’t need to go to the imperial doctor. It’s just that Man Bao heard from Zheng Gu that Ji Shitang often went out for outpatient consultations recently. A lot of medical fees.
Man Bao just listened to it. At that time, she was thinking about the "Qing Nang Jing" in her hand. There were a few pages of the beginning of this medical book that were damaged. She had to take it to the Hanlin Academy to ask someone to help repair it. It's really sloppy, and I have to ask for advice if I don't know it.
It's just that the people in the Imperial Academy were also busy, and Man Bao didn't have much face in the Imperial Academy, so he ran for half a month without any effect. In the end, Bai Shan took her to beg Kong Jijiu, and then Kong Jijiu took the two People went to Zhang Hanlin from the Hanlin Academy. He was in charge of inspecting history books and recording books.
But when Kong Jijiu came forward, Zhang Hanlin still agreed to help, but he only had a little understanding of medical books, so he could repair it first, but the later proofreading would require full cooperation.
Man Bao couldn't wish for it, but it was a pity that Zhang Hanlin didn't have much time and Man Bao was busy, so the two checked the time and finally found a time to come to the school team.
So Man Bao became even busier.
Bai Shan is also busy, he has already decided to try to take the Jinshi exam next year with Bai Dalang, so the studies will be very heavy, not only Mr. Zhuang, but even Kong Jijiu deliberately made his studies more difficult.
Therefore, the homework of Bai Shan, Feng Zongping, Yi Ziyang and others who intend to take the Jinshi examination next year will be separated from that of others.
Bai Shan dragged Bai Erlang along, at first he was able to keep up, but then it was a bit difficult for him to follow, and he wanted to give up, in fact, he didn't mind at all taking the same class as Zhao Liulang and the others.
But Bai Shan said: "We are brothers and sisters. If we agree, we will share the blessings, and we will share the difficulties."
Bai Erlang was about to cry, "It's difficult for me, but not for you. I have to stay up all night for the same homework, and you can still go to check information for Man Bao. It's so unfair."
Don't bother your mind too much Yin or Wen Yan smiled, he took the same class as them, but he never had any homework, and the gentlemen seldom questioned him, because they knew he would not take the exam, and he would not even become an official in the future, so He is the least able to understand Bai Erlang's pain.
Seeing him laughing, Bai Erlang became even more powerless, he just lay down on the table and was sad for a while, finally he got up and continued to do his homework.
Although Bai Shan and Man Bao didn't say anything, he vaguely knew that they might go on a study tour in a year or two, and it would be good to take a test before the study tour, whether they succeed or not.
If it's done, go out to study and come back to take the exams of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials, and then you can be elected to be an official;
He also wanted to go out to study with them.
Because they were busy, when the first snow fell in the capital, they realized how quickly the time had passed, and then the palace gave them a ten-day holiday in advance.
The students were a little happy, but there were also some people who were worried. Zhao Liulang couldn't hold back and asked Man Bao quietly, "These two ten-day breaks are not at the right time. I heard that His Majesty will not go to the Great Court Meeting twice, and even Xiao The meeting has been postponed three times, Zhou Man, is Your Majesty sick?"
Man Bao said: "Are you sick? Wouldn't it be better if you go back and ask your father? Or turn left and ask your cousin."
Zhao Liulang: "... If my father will tell me, can I still ask you?"
Not to mention the prince, he didn't even dare to ask if he was okay.
Man Bao said: "Your father won't tell you, and I won't 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 would definitely say that the Emperor is in good health, why bother talking about this with him
Zhao Liulang felt so uncomfortable, he turned around and left.
Man Bao was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but asked Bai Shan, "When did Zhao Liulang have such deep feelings for His Majesty?"
"What is deep?" 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 just take the money when he came to pick up the hall brother for the flower viewing party on the 16th?"
Man Bao: ... She really forgot, who made the Queen Mother seriously ill that night on Shiliu
Bai Shan then said: "He took the money in front of him, but he met the national funeral in the back. He dared not go to Pingkangfang even if he had ten guts. Now it is still a national funeral, but the outside control is not so strict, although no one dares to be open and aboveboard." Banquet, but Pingkang Fang also has a lot of business, he must have moved his mind."
Man Bao: "He is so courageous, what he has to guard is not three months, but six months!"
Really, the guts are quite big.
Bai Shan smiled, "He is mainly reluctant to part with the ten beauties in the south of the Yangtze River. By the way, is Your Majesty really sick?"
"No," Man Bao didn't hide it from his own people, and said, "But it's considered sick. The queen was sick, and the queen mother passed away. He was not in a good mood, but it's okay. Anyone can feel down. It should be fine for a while."
