On the front street of Jingshan, all the officers and soldiers of the guard battalion on both sides of the road have also pulled up the curtain.

There have long been officials from the Ministry of Rites waiting here, and the hundreds of officials of the clan who came to the funeral were all arranged by the officials of the Ministry of Rites. Otherwise, what kind of system will it become?

The Li family is the decree of the people, but the officials of the Ministry of Rites led her behind several princesses. Seeing this, Chu Yu was a little hesitant, but it was not easy to keep up.

Li lowered his head, his heart was like playing a drum, and he couldn't tell what it tasted like.

She thought that she would be in the car, following the big team out of town, where did she think that there would be her own place when she started.

Jingshan, outside the Shouhuang Palace, has already stood a lot of people.

On the east side is the grandson of the Emperor of Daxing headed by Yongzheng, and on the west side is the empress, princess, and granddaughter-in-law of the Daxing Emperor.

This is a family ceremony before the state ceremony, and only the descendants of the emperor of Daxing participate.

The princes of the clan and the wives of the clan are at the gate of the Shouhuang Palace.

The civil and military officials and foreign women are about to line up at the gate of Jingshan.

Li lowered his head, followed the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and came to the outside of the Shouhuang Palace step by step. Then, under the leadership of the ceremonial officials, he stood behind the eldest princess of Gulun Chunxi and the eldest princess of Gulun Rongxian, and in front of the eldest princess of Gulun Kejing and the eldest princess of Heshuo Yujing.

The two eldest princesses Chunxi and Rongxian opened a mansion in the capital, and the eldest princess of Yujing married into the capital, and the three of them had already heard of the identity of the Li family.

Although I was curious, I didn't deliberately interact with each other. I didn't know it earlier, but I just thought she was the mother of Wang Fujin of Pingjun and the Duchess; Now, knowing that her identity is different, how to meet each other?

Isn't it embarrassing.

Unexpectedly, the emperor did not let the Li family recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors, but now he exalts the Li family so much. It's just that since the emperor wants to be gracious, why doesn't he give him a justifiable title first?

How did they know that Yongzheng had indeed moved this idea, one was to show that he was kind to his siblings, and the other was to support the Li family and compete with Princess Rongxian.

The eldest princess of Rongxian, who held herself as the princess Gulun who was enshrined by the first emperor, became the first person among the foreign women, and was influential in the palace of the prince Baylor.

It's just that because the inner library is tight, it is cheap to canonize the princess, but the princess needs more than 100,000 taels of silver to open the mansion.

Among the four eldest princesses, only the eldest princess Kejing, who has lived and naturalized for a long time, only returned to Beijing after the funeral a few days ago, and she still doesn't know the life experience of the Li family.

But the princess who grew up in the palace is not an ignorant woman, and she knows that it is impossible for such a major official to make a mistake in front of everyone.

This is also the princess of the imperial father, and she is slightly older than herself.

Guo Luoluo, the mother of the eldest princess of Kejing, is the sister of Concubine Yi, but there are two sisters, one is the head of the four concubines, and the other is a little nobleman until death, and there are also some grievances and hatreds in it.

Among the princesses of the Daxing Emperor, most of them are in Inner Mongolia, which is close to the capital; Only the eldest princess Kejing touched the farthest Khalkha, and I heard that there was also the "credit" of Concubine Yi.

But it is precisely because of this that Yongzheng takes more care of this half-sister, and he does not get angry with her because of Concubine Yi and Brother Jiu...... In the low sound of ritual music, the tedious and long ceremony finally passed, and everyone lined up to follow the Daxing Emperor Zigong out of Jingshan.

The carriage of the Cao family has already been waiting in two groups.

The carriage of the servants and the baggage, along with the men of the other princes of the House of Belle, waited outside the front door; The carriage of Li and Chu Yu was accompanied by the carriage of the Fujin ladies and waited on Jingshan Front Street.

When Li returned to the carriage, there were still officials from the Ministry of Rites with him.

But instead of going back to her carriage, she came to a carriage with a red wheel.

At first, Li thought it was Chu Yu's carriage, but then when he looked at it, he realized that it was not. Under the same green cloth, the golden satin is exposed, and the corners and eaves are red.

Seeing this, Li Shi was a little flustered in his heart.

Her current status, riding in such a sedan chair is a pass.

She was thinking about what to do, when she heard the sound of footsteps on the ground, and when she looked back, it was the seventeenth elder brother who was hurrying over.

The two of them were opposite each other, and Li's face was as usual, and he had already bowed down.

The seventeenth elder brother hurriedly turned to the side and said, "Please get up quickly, I was negligent in speaking of it, otherwise someone should send the carriage to the lady to the mansion first." ”

Speaking of which, you can't blame Brother Seventeen.

It was yesterday that the sixteenth elder brother entered the palace, and together with the seventeenth elder brother, he greeted Concubine Mi and talked about the Li family's trip. Concubine Mi mentioned Li's car, and the two elder brothers remembered their negligence.

The position of the Li family is among the eldest princesses, and the carriage of the duchess is too eye-catching.

When he mentioned it before the emperor, Yongzheng also remembered that it was wrong, and hurriedly asked the seventeenth elder brother to prepare the sedan according to the system.

It wasn't until this morning that it was ready.

The Li family sighed and said, "Seventeenth Master, this is not in line with the system!" ”

accompanied the eldest princesses to see the ceremony, in front of everyone, and he was just following orders, and there was no trouble; This carriage is too ostentatious, and if you sit on it, you may turn it over when you will be guilty.

The seventeenth elder brother seemed to see the Li family's concerns, and took out a yellow silk holy decree from his arms.

In addition to the carriage in front of him, he also gave a warm sedan chair, ten maids, six households, and received 400 silver and 400 rice from the Ministry of Internal Affairs every year this year.

Naturally, due to the haste of the will, the sedan chair, the maidservant, and the wrapper must be handed over after returning from the imperial tomb.

Li knelt down to listen to the holy decree, only to feel confused.

It was still the seventeenth elder brother who helped Li up and said, "And take it with peace of mind." ”

The Li family took the holy decree and realized that this silver rice was in line with Princess Gulun's fortune.

She was horrified in her heart, and she only felt that the holy decree in her hand was hot.

The seventeenth elder brother didn't allow her to say more, and said, "Please get in the car first." It's about to depart, so it's not good to delay. ”

Li couldn't, so he had to get into the carriage...... Cao Hao rode on his horse, looking at the mighty team in front of him, a little worried about the Li family.

Riding parallel to him was the squire Li Zhouwang. The two Shangshu adults, due to old age and decrepitude, rode in a carriage.

Seeing that Cao Hao's little face was tense and didn't give a look, Li Zhouwang looked at him a few more times.

Cao Hao noticed it, turned his head, and looked at Li Zhouwang.

Li Zhouwang was a little embarrassed, and said casually: "It's the busy farming season, and I don't know how Lord Cao's good breeds are bred." I heard that both crops are high-yielding and can be used to prepare for famines. ”

Although Cao Hao returned to Beijing for half a month, he was also concerned about the scene in Tongzhou Yutian. For a long time, there was a special agricultural official in charge of this matter stationed in Tongzhou, and the growth of the crops in the field was carefully recorded.

Therefore, Cao Hao replied without wasting his strength at all.

When Li Zhouwang heard this, he was surprised in his heart, although the two of them had been officials together for nearly a year, they had their own errands, and their dealings were limited.

Li Zhouwang was born in Hanlin, and he has a bit of nobility in his bones, but he only thinks that Cao Hao is a shadow official, and the more he is so young, the higher he is, even if he is cautious, it will not be a big deal.

At this moment, looking at Cao Hao talking eloquently, and then looking at his dark and thin face, Li Zhouwang secretly said "ashamed", and still asked about the money and food errands of the household department.

Cao Hao seems to be in a high position, and there are few people who have to bow down to everything, and most of the time he spends most of his time looking at the money and grain account books. So what Li Zhouwang asked didn't bother him at all.

All of a sudden, the two of them asked me questions and answers, came and went, but it took a lot of effort...... Wait until the beginning of Shen (three o'clock in the afternoon), the holy driver Feng Daxing Emperor Zigong to Yangjiazha Palace.

Although the Cao family of three came to the funeral, there were differences between men and women, but they were not placed together.

The Li family and the eldest princess Kejing are placed in a courtyard, with five upper rooms, the Li family's house is in the east, and the house of the eldest princess Kejing is in the west.

Seeing this arrangement, the eldest princess Kejing was even more determined, the Li family was not only older than herself, but her status was still above her. Therefore, when the two met, the eldest princess Kejing refused to accept the Li family's courtesy.

It's just that she also wondered in her heart, if Li's biological mother was born from an internal wife with an identity, then why should she be raised outside the palace.

The half-day experience had already made Li tired, so he went back to the house early.

The eldest princess Kejing was like this, so that the mother of the internal affairs office who followed couldn't see it, and after returning to the house, she chatted twice in front of the princess.

At this time, Chu Yu had already brought the maids and mother-in-law of Cao's Mansion over.

Hearing that it was her mother-in-law who was placed with the meek eldest princess Kejing, Chu Yu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The eldest princess Kejing listened to her grandmother talk about the ancients, and only then did she know that the biological mother of the Li family was the queen of filial piety who was posthumously crowned two years ago.

Concerning the royal family, the grandmother didn't dare to say more, and said straightly: "After all, there is no title, how can you go past the master?" ”

When the eldest princess Kejing heard this, she secretly spoke, thinking that the identity of the Li family's biological mother would be noble, but she didn't expect that she was a queen.

The identity of the Li family is actually the concubine of the middle palace, not to mention herself, even the identity of the eldest princess Chunxi and the eldest princess Rongxian is not as good as the Li family.

The eldest princess Kejing couldn't sit still, thinking about whether she should go to the East House to pay a visit. Looking at Li's appearance, it seems that he is not in good spirits, and there is no one around him who is not wearing it, which makes people feel uneasy.

Before she could get up, a maid came to report that Lord Herui came to greet her aunt.

The eldest princess Kejing has not been in the capital for a long time, and she is not familiar with her nephew and niece, but she still asked someone to come in and talk, and then she knew that Chu Yu was the daughter-in-law of the Li family...... * Beijing, Caofu.

Outside the gate, there was a middle-aged man in a half-new blue robe, begging the concierge to announce: "Brother, the villain is from Suzhou, and our second old lady is asking for ......peace."

The porter has already been explained, but everyone who hears Suzhou and the Li family must be careful, and those who look for the Gao family must be more careful. The person in front of him had already been here in the morning, and because of his vague speech, he asked the fifth wife for instructions, but he did not pass it on.

thought that in less than two hours, he came to entangle again.

The porter glanced at the man and said, "Hun said, I haven't heard of any family asking for a manservant for a cousin." Where did the scoundrels come from, what Suzhou and Hangzhou, don't go farther. ”

When the middle-aged man heard this, he couldn't help but be anxious, and said: "The villain is indeed a descendant of the Li family in Suzhou, and he has already been here once, and he is in a hurry to see the old lady, and the fifth master of the Sun family can testify to the little one......
