April 18 is the day when the Ning family holds a dust washing ceremony. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The sky is beautiful, and yesterday there was a heavy rain, which washed the sky and the earth clean. The green mountains are verdant, the white clouds are floating, in the late spring and early summer, the slanting sun and the breeze have faded the heavy cotton clothes and replaced them with light tulle.

Yun Tianhua wore a blue Xishang eyebrow shirt today, covered with a jade-white light gauze, tied with a crocodial belt around his waist, and hung a piece of turquoise crescent-shaped jade pendant. The whole person is like a quiet lotus, walking automatically without wind.

"Miss, isn't this a little plain? Qiu Shu said as he tied her cloak.

Although it was the middle of April, the wind outside still caught the chill of spring, and Yun Tianhua himself was also afraid of the cold, so before going out, Qiu Shu insisted again and again that he still had to add a cloak.

Yun Tianhua said: "Let's not congratulate Ning Xiaoxiao on being divorced, what are you going to do if you dress so glamorous." Okay, no, let's go!"

"Oh, okay. Qiu Shu shook her cloak again, and the two went out together.

When he was about to arrive at the moon gate of Fushou Kangtai, Yun Qianhua met Duan's family, holding Yun Bizhu in his hand. Although the mother and daughter are not dressed up, they are more eye-catching than Yun Qianhua.

"Yo, isn't this the eldest lady! Look at the eldest lady's face, is it because the illness is not cured? If that's the case, it's better to raise it first, why bother running around in the limelight. Duan's yin and yang stabbed angrily.

Yun Tianhua smiled faintly and said, "My father asked me to go, and I can't help it." "If you have the ability, you can talk to your father.

Duan Shi "cut" and said, "The eldest lady has a good fate, and there are people to support her wherever she goes." ”

Yun Bizhu also agreed, "Mother, she is the eldest lady, and she is naturally stronger than us everywhere." But my father is not an unreasonable person, you see, people just have a name but no ability, and my father still doesn't trust her!"

When Duan heard this, the curvature of the corners of his mouth widened, and his waist straightened up. walked in front of Yun Tinghua with his eyes facing the top, and when he passed in front of her, he didn't forget to glance at her, snorted, and said, "I don't have the ability to pretend to be capable." Then Shi Shiran left.

Yun Tianhua looked at her back in the distance, Duan's grounding this time also had a bit of an effect, at least he didn't act as freely as before, he was thoughtful everywhere, he was afraid that something would go wrong, and he would be deprived of the right in his hands by Yun Shen.

The divorce between Yun Mansion and Hou Mansion was only known to the old Hou Ye, Yun Shen and Yun Tianhua, and it was not disclosed to the public. First, he didn't want this matter to spread to the capital and affect Duanmu Ling's actions. The second is that I don't want to cause more troubles and affect the protection of Zhao Liangyi.

Even the Duan clan didn't understand why Yun Shen was angry that morning and slapped Yun Qianhua, and then directly locked up in the ancestral hall, and one pass was two days and two nights. The subordinates in the house, including the people of Taoyuanyuan, including Qishang, don't know.

People think that everything is calm, but they don't know that the embankment has already burst and the river is rolling.

When I arrived at Ningfu, Ningfu had already heard the sound of firecrackers, the cars and horses were like dragons, and the guests were like clouds. People dressed in wealth and dignity came in with smiling gifts and a steady stream.

It was not the owner of Ning Mansion who stood at the door to greet him, but a relative of Ning Mansion, because when he listened to their introduction, he also brought the surname Ning. The Duan family exchanged pleasantries with them, exchanged gifts, and was introduced into the mansion by the subordinates of the Ning Mansion.

Entering the living room, there were already more than a dozen ladies, Duan's familiarity with them warmed up, and he put his daughter out to show off, and everyone laughed and said that Ling Qianjin was really a beautiful embryo, and she was filial to Yunyun, and she held Duan's mouth together.

Yun Tianhua sat behind Duan, quietly drinking tea, and looked up and swept around the hall, Li Jin and her mother were also there. But I didn't see the master Ning Xiaoping and Mrs. Ning, only Ning Xiaoxiao and an aunt were greeting.

Someone in the hall asked suspiciously: "Why don't you see Mrs. Ning holding her grandson to show everyone, and she is also happy?"

The aunt who was entertaining the guests said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, it's not that my sister-in-law doesn't want to take it out, it's really too busy to leave." Here is a nobleman in Beijing, and my sister-in-law can't leave. ”

Hearing the words "nobles from Beijing", everyone's eyes instinctively fell on Duan's body, and there was always an unknown smile in his eyes.

Duan's back was on his back, and he always felt that everyone was laughing at her in their hearts, laughing that although she was from Beijing, she was not a great official wife, and she was not as good as Mrs. Ning! She awkwardly picked up the tea cup on the side, lowered her head and took a sip casually, her face was as usual.

The other people in the hall also symbolically picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and the atmosphere was very stiff.

Mrs. Li let out an "oops" and asked with a smile: "I've been here for so long, I forgot to ask, can the little young master have a name?"

The aunt hurriedly took her words and said with a smile: "It's up, it's called Yunyi." ”

"Ning Yunyi, dazzling, what a good name. ”

……

After a lot of praise and drinking, the atmosphere returned to the original activity.

At the right time, it was an auspicious time, and the dust washing ceremony began.

According to the customs of the Zhou Kingdom, the baby's dust washing ceremony is one of the most important gifts in life, and it ranks first among all the rituals.

The so-called dust washing needs to set up an altar in broad daylight, burn incense, and put sacrifices. A wooden basin is placed in front of the altar, the basin is filled with water, the ashes of the burning incense are placed in the basin, and the child is placed in it to bathe, which is regarded as washing dust. It means that the child can be blessed by God, safe and healthy, and rich and noble.

Of course, the person who is responsible for bathing the child is best to be an elder with high morality and noble status, either rich or noble, so that the blessing can be extended.

Yun Tianhua stood in the middle of the crowd of female dependents, and when the noble lady standing in the middle of the altar was respectfully called "Prince Dun Princess" by Mrs. Ning, she was still a little surprised. I knew that someone would come over from the Dun Qinhou Mansion, but I didn't want to be the child's grandmother.

Someone on the side whispered: "That's the princess, it's really magnificent." ”

Prince Dun and Duan's are both official wives, but their temperaments are 108,000 miles apart. From top to bottom, Princess Dun is surrounded by cloud brocade, the most important thing is the nobility in her bones. This kind of person, without deliberately imitating and pretentious, a movement, a look, a smile, are all elegant and noble, and people can't help but admire and admire. This kind of elegance and nobility is something that Duan's does not have.

The previous dust washing ceremony is already underway, the incense candles have been lit, and the mother-in-law has come over with the child. This is the first time the child meets everyone.

Yun Tianhua looked over, the child was wrapped in swaddling clothes of red brocade, with two bright black eyes, looking at this strange world, spitting milk foam on the side of his mouth, very cute.

It is also impossible to bathe naked, wash, or wrap a cotton cloth around the child's body. Otherwise, so many people are standing here, there are men and women, old and young, although the children are small, but they have all kinds of organs, and they can't let the girls who have not left the cabinet look at it.

Yun Tinghua's nose was sour, and he looked up at the sky, the sky was blue and clean, but the sun was very dazzling.

When he lowered his head again, his gaze swept over the crowd on the other side. She couldn't help frowning, the young yellow figure that had just turned around just now, and the half of the face, was she wrong?

Even half of her face was enough to make her face change drastically, and her face turned pale. Memories flooded her, engulfing everything she had, including her life.
