   Chapter 91 The Empress Dowager's Funeral Day (the third update on the shelves)

   "Second Master, you're back!" The old housekeeper Jiang Hou, who was waiting in the gate of the mansion, hurried up to meet him, "Go to the old lady and take a look, the old slaves don't dare to enter the hospital."

   "Who's in the mansion?" Jiang Erye threw the horse's reins to the doorman and walked in quickly.

   Uncle Hou couldn't keep up, so he could only shout, "You are the first to come back."

   "You rest all the time, I'll go take a look."

   "Eh." The second master will be fine when he comes back, and the old housekeeper sits on the bench against the wall to rest his feet.

   Quickly walked into the main room of the North Courtyard, Erye Jiang pretended not to notice the depressed atmosphere in the room, and said with a smile, "Why didn't you send the letter back in advance, so that the brothers can greet you."

   Jiang Pinglan, who had been cold for a long time by her mother, got up quickly, "Second brother is back! Yuan Dong, Ling'er is going to give my uncle a New Year's greeting."

   Jiang Pinglan's sons and daughters came forward to pay New Year's greetings. Jiang Erye pulled up the two children and took out a small purse, "Uncle has already prepared it and is waiting for you to come. Sister, where is my brother-in-law?"

  Jiang Pinglan whispered, "There are so many things in the yamen, I can't come back in time."

   didn't come back just in time, so as not to look at him angry. Jiang Erye pulled his sister to sit next to his mother, "Is my sister's health better?"

   Where did she get sick, it was just an excuse for her husband not to allow her to come back. Jiang Pinglan bowed his head in shame, "...It's much better, I have second brother Lao to remember."

   "That's good. Mother, you see that my sister is fine, you should be able to sleep peacefully this time." Jiang Erye gave his mother a slap on the shoulder with a smile.

   Mrs. Jiang angrily said, "You are talking nonsense, when did mother sleep well?"

   "Yes, what my son is talking about is nonsense." Jiang Erye replied, but secretly winked at his sister, nephew, and niece, and the seven-year-old Liao Chunling couldn't help giggling.

  The tiger-headed Liao Yuandong approached Jiang Erye and asked, "Second Uncle, is Dongshi fun?"

   "Of course it's fun." Jiang Erye and his sister said, "Let the monkey send Yuandong and Linger to Dalang and the others, and come back after seeing the lanterns?"

  The two children immediately came to their senses and looked at their grandmother eagerly.

   Mrs. Jiang is not allowed, "The child has been in the car for half a day, how can he still have the strength to see the lanterns!"

   They have it! The two little guys didn't dare to speak, so they could only be in a hurry.

"Your grandmother is right, don't be in a hurry to see the lanterns in one or two days. There are still many days until the Shangyuan Festival. Tomorrow, the second uncle will take you to play." Jiang Erye cheerfully said, "When the time comes, my mother will go too. ."

   Jiang Pinglan said quickly, "My daughter accompanies her mother to watch lanterns and visit temple fairs."

   "What's there to do?" Mrs. Jiang said, thinking that it was indeed a scene from her daughter's childhood, and her face gradually eased.

   Seeing that the atmosphere in the room had eased, Jiang Erye went out with his two children, leaving his mother and sister to say some sweet words in the house.

  Between mother and daughter, it’s good to talk about it.

   After Jiang Liu returned home with his brothers, he saw his aunt sitting affectionately beside his grandmother and made fun of them one by one.

   "Dalang is only fifteen years old, and he is about to catch up with the big brother. It's amazing."

   "Dalang has seen a lot of growth in the past two years." Chen shi couldn't stop laughing.

   "President Shiro is more handsome than his third brother and younger siblings."

   "Sister, don't pretend to be honest at the moment, your temper is bigger than both of us." Yan shi smiled.

   "You guessed the lantern riddles for these colorful heads? Which one got the most?"

   "Third sister, she is the best at guessing lantern riddles." Jiang Murong leaned over to her aunt and hugged her arm affectionately.

   "Liu'er has grown too, mother, the longer this girl grows, the more she looks like the second brother when he was a child. Isn't that what the second brother looked like when he was six or seven years old and ran around the house wearing a skirt?"

   Ouch? Dad still wore skirts when he was a child! Jiang Liu grimaced at his father.

   Jiang Erye covered his daughter's appalling face, "Dad ran much faster than you when he was six or seven years old!"

  Liao Yuandong just discovered that Jiang Liu was walking wrong, stepped forward and asked, "Does the sixth sister's leg hurt?"

   Jiang Liu shook his head, "It doesn't hurt, it's just-go-no-fast."

   "It's fine if you don't go fast, cousin can carry you on your back!" Eleven-year-old Liao Yuandong puffed out his chest, as if he was already a man.

   Jiang Ling immediately said, "Sixth sister is seven years old!"

   "It's okay, my cousin is very energetic, and he can carry it on his back even at the age of seven. Next time I go out to see the lanterns, my cousin will carry you on his back." Liao Yuandong didn't understand what his cousin meant, and kept saying that he was very strong.

   Another one who robbed his sister from himself. Jiang Ling's face froze, it seems that it is necessary to take him out to practice tomorrow, so that he can know who is the most energetic here!

   Jiang Liu smiled and said to his cousin, "I-may-can-go-by-self."

   "Sixth sister smiles better than the virgins in the New Year pictures." Liao Yuandong suddenly called out, causing everyone in the room to laugh.

   Jiang Ling blocked her sister, feeling that Liao Yuandong was even more annoying.

   After all, Liao Yuandong was not able to watch the lanterns behind Jiangliu. Because the funeral news came from the palace in the afternoon of the second day, the empress dowager was buried, and the lanterns were gone.

   Hearing the bad news, when the officials and people of Da Zhou Wen and Wu knelt down and cried bitterly, there was a sense of relief in their hearts—the queen mother who had been ill for more than a year finally died.

  The happiest among the people who cried bitterly was Zhang Wenjiang, the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture. On the day of the Queen Mother's funeral, Wan Sui had no intention to intervene in court affairs, and of course he had no intention of interfering in the poisoning case that he was ordered to investigate on the tenth day. After crying bitterly, Zhang Wenjiang, who had not slept well for five days, had a full meal and slept until dawn.

   Meng Huizhou also landed on the boulder, and after a sound sleep, he went to the palace gate with Baiguan early the next day to mourn.

   On the day of the Queen Mother's funeral, Kang'an City changed from the festive red to the sad white, but only relatives were truly heartbroken. Princess Leyang fainted several times. After Emperor Jinghe cried until his voice was hoarse, he issued an imperial decree: the empress dowager should be mourned in the whole country; Quasi-feast marriage.

   When everyone heard this, they not only cried on their faces, but also suffered in their hearts. According to the decree of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the empress dowager should not be allowed to have fun for 100 days in the funeral of the whole country, and it should be forbidden to marry within a month. But in order to show his filial piety, Emperor Jinghe extended the time limit for mourning to one year. What else can people say other than praising Long Live, Filial Piety and Touching Heaven?

  Er Ye Jiang, who had changed into a white suit, asked cautiously, "Isn't the imperial edict mentioning the suspension of the scientific examination?"

   Jiang Hou'er shook his head, "No, it shouldn't be able to stop, right?"

   "Why can't you, the empress dowager has a funeral for her old man, and the whole country will be in mourning!" Jiang Erye plausibly said, "During mourning, can my son take the exam?"

cannot! Jiang Houer shook his head, the second master still has hope.

  Jiang Bao sighed, "Second Master, you should step down and study hard."

   If you don't read it, you won't read it if you kill him! Jiang Erye stood up angrily, "Master is going to pick up eldest brother back to the house!"

  The Empress Dowager is dead, and Wan Sui definitely has no intention of inquiring about the elder brother's case. After discussing with his mother, Jiang Erye went to Jingzhao Mansion and asked Mr. Zhang if he could take his elder brother back to the house to take care of his body.

   Mr. Zhang, who had been kneeling in front of the palace gate for a long time, walked slower than his Liuer. Erye Jiang was impatient to wait for him to move closer, so he rushed over to bow and saluted, "Grassman Jiang Feng, see your Excellency."

   Zhang Wenjiang, who was supported by his subordinates, of course knew why he came. After saying a few words of comfort, he allowed him to go to the Huichun Medical Center to pick up Jiang Song.

After Jiang Feng left, Zhang Wenjiang took two sips of tea and said angrily to the master, "I met Meng Huizhou when I was out of the palace, and he pretended to be sadder than anyone else, but the lightness in his eyes could not be concealed from this mansion. Master said why he is so proud?"

   Let your lord write it down, how long can he still be proud? The master said quickly, "Don't worry, my lord, the Skynet is extensive and not leaking, and this case will definitely come to light. If Lord Meng is the culprit, you will be able to bring him to justice sooner or later."

   "Of course!" Zhang Wenjiang said solemnly, "Master will draw up an official document and tell the details of the case. From the commander of Xicheng to the official, those who are dereliction of duty will be dealt with strictly according to law!"

   "Yes." Master responded, knowing that the case was about to be put on hold, and I wonder when the governor would have the time to investigate it again.

  Jiang Song was carried back to the mansion, and when she saw her white-haired mother, her tears couldn't help falling, "My son is not filial, and my mother is worried."

   "It's good to come back safely." Madam Jiang looked at the eldest son who was so thin that he was about to lose his face, and couldn't help crying.

   After the son was carried back to the East Court to be properly placed, after Mrs. Jiang dismissed everyone, Jiang Song, who had pretended to be weak for a few days, got up and knelt under her mother's knees, "Mother calm down."

   Mrs. Jiang glared at him for a while, and suddenly burst into tears, "It's a dumpling with arsenic in it, how dare you eat it! You want your mother's life!"

   "Big brother is really too reckless this time." Jiang Erye was afraid of the cold on the ground, so he helped the big brother to get up and sit down.

When his mother calmed down, Jiang Song explained in a low voice, "When my father was alive, my son often helped organize the files of the Punishment Department and learned about the toxicity of arsenic. Although the half dumpling will damage the stomach and intestines, it will not be fatal. It is useless. , I can only think of this way to avenge my father."

   Mrs. Jiang closed her eyes, "You can't get revenge by doing this."

  Jiang Song nodded, "But this will make all officials in the court and the common people suspect Meng Huizhou, make the censor stare at the Meng family, and make the Meng family not dare to act in a grandiose manner and disgust us."

   Jiang Erye also said, "I heard that Zhang Wenjiang is very sincere. He will always keep in mind the cases that Jingzhao House can't find out. As long as he also suspects Meng Huizhou, Meng Huizhou will not be the Minister of Punishment!"

   "Why?" Jiang Song asked the second brother.

Jiang Erye's analysis was straightforward, "The Minister of Punishment is an important position in the six departments. If Zhang Wenjiang feels that Meng Huizhou is not well behaved, he will definitely discuss privately with Dali Siqing and other courtiers, and will find an opportunity to tell the old General Huang Tong. Chat with several other elders in Wenqing Hall. As long as there is no manpower to protect Meng Huizhou, Meng Huizhou will not be able to ascend! Big brother thinks, which of the five elders in the court will protect Meng Huizhou? There are countless people, and in the eyes of the elders, Meng Huizhou is not even a scallion!"

   Jiang Song asked again, "What is the relationship between Zhang Wenjiang and Huang Ge Lao?"

Jiang Erye's eyes widened, "Big brother doesn't know? Zhang Wenjiang's wife is the niece of General Huang Lao! The wife of General Huang Di's second son Huang Di is the younger sister of Zhang Wenjiang's brother-in-law, and this marriage is still helped by Mrs. Zhang. What did you say!"

  Jiang Song nodded in relief, "The analysis is correct, the second brother knows better than me the relatives and distances of the various families in Beijing. When you become an official in the court, you will definitely go farther than me."

Um? Jiang Erye widened his eyes and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"Scientific examinations are difficult to say, but easy to say, but also easy. With your intelligence, as long as you are willing to work hard and take the next subject at the latest, you will definitely be able to pass the exam! You and my brothers are united, within ten years, Father's great revenge must be avenged!" Jiang Song began to imagine a better future.

   Mrs. Jiang was also confident, "Mother will leave the supervision of Feng'er's studies to you, and now you are the only one in the mansion who can calm him down."

   "Don't worry, mother, you should do your best." Jiang Song vowed that he must teach his second brother all the experience and experience he has studied hard for 16 years!

   Jiang Erye was so scared that cold sweat broke out, "Mother, big brother, I..."

   Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Song suddenly had a cold expression on his face, "It's settled like this. I'll pull up a list of books tonight, and you can start reading tomorrow. Second brother, you go and gather the whole family here."

   Mrs. Jiang was stunned for a moment, and Second Master Jiang was even more afraid, "Big, big brother, what are you doing?"

  Jiang Song only instructed, "Go, even carry Liu'er here."

   The 4D update has been completed. Thank you for your subscription and support. It will still be updated at 6:00 a.m. tomorrow. Everyone thinks, what did Jiang Song do when he called his family over?
