In the hot summer, Pei Xiu was reluctant to move, and he sweated every time he moved. No matter how light and thin his clothes were, he had to wear two pieces. After a few years, she still couldn't get used to it.

Wheat is very active, and changes clothes when they get wet. As long as she follows behind, she has to change several pieces.

Fortunately, it has been raining these few days, and the wind has blown over and cooled down a lot, dissipating some of the heat.

It just happened to hit the three brothers' rest day, they couldn't go anywhere, they all sighed in Pei Xiu's side hall.

She patted Mai's head, "Brothers are so boring, go and play with them!"

Wheat obediently ran to grab the boss's hand, "Brother, ride a horse."

The boss wailed, "Ah, it's me again, there are two more there, why don't you go to those two brothers to ride horses."

"We're not as strong as you, mother, I went back to the house to endorse it!" The third child ran away smartly, and the second child slipped away when he saw it.

Zhou Yong wanted to cry but had no tears, but he didn't dare to break free from her hand and run away, and his mother was still watching.

"It's not fun to ride a horse. Would you like to play throwing a ball with you, eldest brother?"

"it is good."

Someone accompanies her to play games, and she doesn't pick it up. It's just when she's cheating, and it's more of a headache to cry.

The two got together, no one bothered her, and no sighs were heard. She was relieved and could relax for a while.

Looking at the gray day, it was clear that it was broad daylight, but it looked like it was already dusk.

There are thunderstorms in this summer, and it is rare to have three or four consecutive days of downpour, especially in the past two months.

Looking at the second day, the rain continued to fall, and she began to worry. Seeing that the autumn harvest will start in half a month, don't continue to affect the harvest.

Not only Pei Xiu was worried, but the people were more worried than her.

There were also ministers in the court who worriedly suggested that the autumn harvest is coming, and the continuous heavy rain will knock down the wheat ears. The emperor also frowned and ordered someone to summon Qin Tianjian to come over and ask why the rain could stop.

Qin Tian hesitantly said, "Reporting to the emperor, it should be another two or three days. In the past two months, there have only been two short showers, and the rain has been concentrated in these days."

How could the emperor remember how many times it rained in the past two months, and he couldn't help frowning when he heard what Qin Tianjian said.

Grain is the foundation of the country. Seeing that the autumn harvest is just around the corner, the next three days of rain will knock down the ripe wheat into the water.

Sure enough, it was really said by the Qin Tianjian!

It rained for two consecutive days, the rain gradually became lighter on the third day, and the cloudy turned clear on the fourth day. Pei Xiu was worried about Linxian's harvest, so when the weather cleared, he sent Cheng Bo to drive over to take a look.

In the end, before Cheng Bo returned, she heard the bell and was startled, got up and walked into the yard, counting silently in her heart, one, two, three...

After three beeps, all the people in the city knelt down and counted together silently in their hearts.

It was not until the ninth sound was over that everyone got up.

This is the nine bells that will ring only after the death of the Ninety-five Supreme.

The emperor is in his prime,

There is no disease and no disaster, it is definitely not the emperor, this is the death of the emperor.

Pei Xiu sighed in her heart. Last year, she held a lively 65th birthday. If it weren't for the matter of the former prince, the Emperor Taishang wouldn't have suffered a stroke and fell ill on half of his body, so that it became more and more serious.

Things are impermanent, and today actually died, and it will be more than a year before and after.

After she got up, she instructed the servants in the whole house to change into mourning clothes, and white cloth was hung in the house. She also went to change into the mourning clothes that she had prepared.

This has been prepared for a long time. Since the Taishanghuang had a stroke last year, she ordered people to prepare it quietly, and the same is true for the mansions of various officials.

So that the white cloth in the city once became a hot seller and sold out.

On the day of death, a "small funeral" is to be carried out. The emperor, the concubine, the prince, the princess, the prince, the officials, etc., collectively, the males take off the crown and cut the braids, and the females go to make up and cut their hair.

After the "small funeral" is the "big funeral". At this time, the princes below the court, officials above the fifth rank; concubines and concubines below the imperial concubine, and the wives of officials above the fifth rank must all go to the Qianqing Palace to pay their respects to the remains of the Emperor Taishang. At that time, she will enter the palace to perform a "big funeral ceremony".

Seeing that everyone had changed their clothes, Pei Xiu ordered Qingsong to bring filial piety clothes to pick up the three boys back.

The Emperor Taishang passed away, and the academy would also suspend classes for a few days. The shops in the capital also closed their doors after hearing the bell, and all activities were prohibited.

When the three brothers left the academy, they began to change their filial attire in the carriage.

The boss said while changing: "I was talking about the Emperor Taishang a few days ago, but I didn't expect to hear the bell suddenly today. Halfway through our class, everyone knelt down in the direction of the palace."

"It's the same with us," said the third child in a low voice, "I heard that the Emperor Taishang was dissatisfied with the vassal cuts, will it be a good news..."

The second child hurriedly covered the mouth of the third child, "The Emperor Taishang is very old and has been lingering on the bed for more than a month. You should change your clothes quickly."

On the way back, I saw that the shops on both sides of the street were closed and closed for business. The door of the shop was hung with white cloth. The people on the street were rushing home, and the whole street was cold and depressed.

"It was bustling and lively this morning, and it became deserted after only half a day." The boss stretched his head and looked at the white eyes on both sides and said, it was the first time they had seen such a scene.

The second child said: "During the funeral, the military and civilians in the capital must pick crowns and dresses for twenty-seven days, and they are not allowed to marry for one month, not to have fun for one hundred days, and not to be slaughtered for forty-nine days. No prayers and sacrifices are allowed for twenty-seven days. Before the clothes are removed, the emperor, in accordance with the etiquette and law, observes filial piety with the day and the month, and the twenty-seventh day replaces the twenty-seventh month, and all the memorials are reviewed in blue ink.

This is what the Master told them during the national mourning, what the people of the capital should do, and what the officials should do.

Boss: "The academy will resume classes after the Emperor Taishang's Zigong is buried."

"Now you can be open and honest without going to the academy, as you wished, eldest brother." The third child looked at his eldest brother with a smile.

He rolled his eyes, "I'm not happy anymore. The streets are like this, and there's nowhere to go. Why don't we go to the academy. During the national mourning period, let's stay safe and don't go anywhere."

Both of them were surprised that the eldest brother could still say the words not to go anywhere.

"Pity."

As soon as the carriage stopped, they jumped out of the car one after another and saw that the gate of their house was also hung with white cloth, and they were not used to it.

The servants in the whole house also wore vegetarian clothes, and even the wheat was all white.

"Mom, we're back."

"Well, don't go out these days, just stay home."

"Mother we know, are you going to enter the palace in a few days?"

"Um."
