Chapter 503: Crying (please vote)

It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish.

A charity hall is nothing, but she also wants to contribute a small amount to this difficult world.

Zhou Linghuai was startled for a moment, and then he realized: "This is good."

The little girl's mind is always so simple and pure. She does not have unrealistic and overflowing sympathy, but she can focus on the present and truly do good deeds.

Mrs. Yu also spoke of Buddha's words of compassion, but was not as kind-hearted and virtuous as her.

The edict for a new burial was issued the next day——

From now on, King Li of Zhou will be buried in strict accordance with the rules of "one word for king side by side".

On the twenty-first day of mourning, memorials will not be marked with ink, but with blue pen;

All yamen writings should be printed in blue;

During the period of mourning, each temple and Taoist temple should chant sutras and express condolences every day, and ring bells twenty-one times;

Civil and military officials and common people are taboo on rituals, music, slaughter, marriage, etc.;

After being laid to rest at an auspicious time, the body will rest in Fuyan Palace for eleven days;

As a court official, the ordered wife must wear mourning clothes, linen and mourning, and mourn for three days;

After the funeral, etiquette envoys, ceremonial envoys, ceremonial envoys, bridge and road pass officials, etc., assisted the spirit of King Li of Zhou to return to Youzhou, performed the funeral ceremony, and performed post-burial sacrifices.

…

The family members in the inner courtyard also took off their fine clothes and jewelry, put on plain white clothes, and tied white ribbons around their waists. There was no food or wine in the house.

White sails were hung everywhere on Chang'an Street, and people lined up in long lines to go to the government offices to receive mourning cloths.

The Yamen sent people everywhere to sing and publicize the achievements of King Zhou Li.

After weeping and hanging her head for a day, Mrs. Yu got up at the fourth watch, put on heavy makeup, wore sackcloth and mourning, and entered the palace with Mr. Yao before dawn.

When passing by Chang'an Street, Mrs. Yu opened the curtains of her car and looked outside.

The long street was completely deserted, and the sky and the earth were eclipsed.

White lanterns line the long street, like a long winding dragon. The bright lights illuminate the long street, making it feel lonely.

Mrs. Yu felt sad in her heart: "Since ancient times, loyalty has been hard to repay, and heroes are always betrayed ruthlessly."

When we arrived outside the palace gate, it was just getting dark. There were already many carriages parked at the palace gate, and many officials and their families were lined up in mourning, waiting for the chamberlains to enter the palace.

When they saw the Yu Mansion's carriage, the guards at the palace gate did not stop it. Mrs. Yu and Yao's carriage kept on driving all the way into the second palace gate, and then stopped.

The carriage from Zhenguohou Mansion has just arrived.

Mrs. Yu and Mrs. Song had a face-to-face meeting. Both of them had solemn expressions. Without even saying a word, they averted their eyes and waited for the eunuchs to roll their names. Then they entered the inner palace one after another and were taken to Fuyan.

palace.

At this time, many courtiers were already kneeling in the Fuyan Palace. The whole room was wearing linen and mourning, and they were crying loudly. It was hard to describe the scene.

The female relatives are all in the side hall.

The internal married women, headed by the family members of the clan, were arranged at the front, followed by the external married women headed by Mrs. Yu, Mrs. Song and others.

Those with thinner skin held their handkerchiefs in their hands, sobbing softly and shedding tears.

Those who are more shameless will just cry and howl at the top of their lungs.

In this case, there is no shame or shame. There are special palace maids and eunuchs who keep an eye on them. They cry and mourn every day and report them to the superiors. The louder the cry, the more they reveal their hatred for King Zhou Li.

Mourning.

Mrs. Yu had also seen big scenes. She knelt down on the futon and her eyes became red. She cried and sang about the achievements and virtues of King Zhou Li.

In less than half an hour, Mrs. Yu couldn't stand it anymore.

At this time, there was a commotion from the Xungui family next to them, and someone was heard shouting: "It's not good, please come quickly. Mrs. Song, the Marquis of Zhenguo, fainted from crying..."

Crying and hanging is inherently hard work. Anyone who has experienced it knows that it is not uncommon for someone to faint because of crying.

The palace also made preparations early in the morning, and the eunuchs and maids immediately came and led the female medical officers over to check. After confirming that there was no serious problem, they could move to the inner room to rest.

Mrs. Yu was a little worried.

Mrs. Song's health was not in good condition. Song Mingzhao vomited blood and fell into a coma. She had been struggling for a while. She finally found a capable female doctor and nursed her back to health for a while. Her body had just recovered a little. She cried and cried for three days in a row.

, even she can't bear it, Mrs. Song will definitely suffer.

After a while, a palace maid came over: "Is the old lady okay?"

Mrs. Yu used to go to and from the Queen Mother's Palace and recognized him as a female official in the Queen Mother's Palace: "I'm sorry to worry about you, but everything is fine for me."

The palace maid continued: "The Queen Mother has given an order that all the elderly and infirm people are exempted from crying and hanging. They can kneel for an hour. Every two-quarters of an hour, they can go to the inner room to rest for a quarter of an hour. Ginseng tea and snacks are prepared in the inner room.

The female medical officer is also ready to make soup at any time. If you feel unwell, you can go to the female medical clinic and have a look. Don't let yourself be neglected."

Mrs. Yu immediately kowtowed and thanked her: "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your consideration."

The female officer quickly helped Mrs. Yu up.

Mrs. Yu knelt for more than half an hour, and she was indeed a little tired, so she went to the inner room with the female officer.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Mrs. Song leaning on a couch with a gray face.

Mrs. Yu quickly went over and asked, "Is it nothing serious?"

Although I was worried in my heart, I also knew that Mrs. Song was a genius, so she definitely didn't really faint from crying. She probably felt that her body was weak, so she acted to fool around.

Mrs. Song is not in good health, which is also known to everyone.

The female medical officer found out immediately upon examination, and it was understandable.

Mrs. Song didn't look well, and she sighed: "I'm old, but that's all. It's useless at all."

Mrs. Yu took a fragrant pill from the sachet and handed it to her: "These are the ginseng Yangrong pills that Yaoyao prepared for me. I brought some specially today. You can use them too."

After the edict was issued yesterday, Yaoyao prepared some emergency fragrant pills and asked her to take them with her.

The palace does not allow outside items to be taken outside, so the sachet is also a personal accessory, so it can be brought into the palace.

Mrs. Song took the fragrant pills, but did not use them immediately. Instead, she asked the palace maid who was taking care of her to call the female medical officer and handed the fragrant pills to the female medical clinic for examination.

Although Ginseng Yangrong Pills are relatively rare, they are also commonly used by wealthy families to take care of their health. The compatibility of this pill is a bit more complicated, and it is a little different from the commonly used prescriptions, but there is no hindrance.

The female medical officer lightly scratched some pills, tested the properties of the medicine, and said with a smile: "It is a good ginseng Yangrong pill. Mrs. Song's deficiency of qi and blood is also the correct symptom."

After saying that, he returned the Ginseng Yangrong Pills to Mrs. Song.

Mrs. Song quickly thanked her.

The palace maid has prepared warm water and served Mrs. Song to take the medicine.

Ginseng Yangrong Pills contain ten-year-old wild ginseng. Ginseng naturally nourishes vitality. As soon as the pills were taken into her stomach, she didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but Mrs. Song also made up her mind.

Regarding ancient funerals, they are mainly divided into three stages: funeral ceremony, funeral ceremony, and post-burial ceremony. They are actually not much different from today, except that the ancients paid more attention to the sense of ritual.

Crying about this is a bit tricky. When an emperor died in ancient times, there were always people who were punished for disrespecting the previous emperor. Haha~ The new emperor took the opportunity to eliminate dissidents, which is one thing~
