585. Recognize relatives
The eldest princess took the lead and walked all the way to the upper room of the Guogong Mansion, where she knelt down with a servant.
The upper seat in the upper room had already been reserved for the eldest princess, and everyone in the Guogong Mansion saluted the eldest princess, and then sat down in order of the eldest and youngest.
Compared with the loneliness of the eldest princess, the Guogong Mansion can almost be described as overcrowded, a room is full, and some young people have no place to sit, so they can only stand.
Starting from Ping Guogong, Yao Keqing served tea one by one, although Ping Guogong was old, he was full of energy, and he was full of energy, and he only said some words of the husband and wife and gave a reward. However, the Duchess of Pingguo looked at the tea handed over by Yao Keqing and did not accept it, but closed her eyes and recuperated, Yao Keqing had to raise her voice slightly and said, "Grandmother, please use tea!"
Duchess Pingguo was waiting for this moment, and immediately glared at Yao Keqing with her eyes blazing, "I haven't yet..."
Before the word "deaf" came out, Song Ziqing had already taken the tea bowl from Yao Keqing's hand, handed it to the Duchess of Pingguo, and said, "Grandmother is not thirsty yet, this cup of granddaughter-in-law tea should also be drunk!"
Duchess Pingguo was furious, looked at the eldest princess on the seat, didn't dare to scold Song Ziqing, and was about to scold Yao Keqing again to get angry, when she heard the horse cry out a little impatiently, "Mother!"
The Duchess of Pingguo took the bowl of tea hatefully, but she didn't look at it and put it aside, took out the prepared meeting gift and threw it directly to Yao Keqing, and was caught by Song Ziqing with his hand.
Song Ziqing helped Yao Keqing to get up, and said in a low voice, "The old lady has always disliked my mother and me, don't pay attention to her!
Yao Keqing shook his head and smiled at him, with his protection, he would not be wronged.
Song Ziqing's strong attitude was there, and no one dared to give Yao Keqing a look at it next, from the old man and his wife of Song, to the second old man and his wife, and then to the fourth old man and his wife, the tea ceremony went exceptionally smoothly.
The fourth lady of Song, Zhan, had been to Yao's house, met Yao Keqing, took her tea and said with a smile, "I heard that your calligraphy and paintings are excellent, and my Lanzhi is also like this, so I have to come and play with her in time!"
Song Lanzhi had seen Yao Keqing's skills, and knew that she was not Yao Keqing's opponent, so she stomped her feet and said, "Mother! The third sister-in-law's calligraphy and painting are even praised by the emperor, how dare I get an axe!"
Zhan Shi smiled, "So you have to ask your third sister-in-law for advice!" and said to Yao Keqing, "Don't dislike my daughter-in-law for being stupid, teach her well!"
The atmosphere was awkward just now, and Yao Keqing was very grateful to the Zhan clan to break the siege and enliven the atmosphere, and also smiled back, "I'm just a little bit of the same, no matter how self-contained!
Zhan smiled and gave a greeting gift, and then stroked an arm in his hand to Yao Keqing, "This arm is originally a pair, and I gave one to the five girls, and this is for you!
How can there be any reason to dislike the gifts given by the elders? Yao Keqing hurriedly said that he didn't dare to take the things.
The next is the same generation, the men are complete, the lean young master Song Ziyun and the young grandmother Du Shiqi wearing a brown dress that obviously does not match their age are silent, silently drank tea, and gave a meeting gift.
The second young master Song Zike is the same as his father Song Er, with a rich figure and a round face, the second young grandmother Lin is wearing a yellow dress, looking delicate and fresh, compared with the big and young grandmothers on the side, it is like a pair of mother and daughter, but the eldest and young grandmothers are only three years older than the second young grandmother.
The second young grandmother shot very generously, the purse was not tied tightly, and the red gold inside was faintly exposed, which seemed to be a golden hairpin, and suddenly compared the deflated purse of the young grandmother, but the young grandmother didn't seem to care, and still sat there indifferently, and her posture remained unchanged.
The third young master Song Ziqi has a good relationship with Song Ziqing, and Yao Keqing has not yet handed over the tea, so Song Ziqi said, "Fourth brother, you were really cunning yesterday, tricked me and my seventh brother into blocking the wine for you!
Song Ziqing smacked at the tea bowl in Yao Keqing's hand, "Come, sober up!"
Song Ziqi smiled helplessly and took the tea.
Yao Keqing handed another cup of tea to the third young grandmother Zhou, "Third sister-in-law!"
Zhou smiled lightly, took the tea and took a sip, and said softly, "From the perspective of my mother's family, my mother's sister-in-law has an aunt's sister-in-law who married your uncle's cousin, and I am a generation shorter than you, but I am equal to you from my husband's family!"
The aunt in Zhou's mouth is talking about Grandma Su Zhou, and the one who is married to her cousin is talking about Su Zhen, when Su Zhen was with Lu, Yao Keqing listened to some things that should not be heard in Grandma Su's room, so he knew what Zhou was saying, but others couldn't understand it.
Song Lanzhi said curiously, "What aunt, sister-in-law's, sister-in-law dizzy me from my head, and I didn't understand it!"
Zhan glared at his daughter, "You just have to think about your fourth sister-in-law's cousin?"
Song Lanzhi suddenly realized, "You're talking about the young grandmother of the Fang family!"
Zhan sighed helplessly.
Zhou said, "Exactly, when Grandma Fang got married, I met my fourth brother and sister!"
As soon as he said this, Yao Keqing also remembered that Zhou's expression was very abnormal that day, and not long after, he learned the news of her miscarriage from Su Zhen.
Zhan smiled, "This is fate!"
The fifth young master Song Zijun from the second room, the sixth young master Song Ziyang from the fourth room, and the seventh young master Song Zibin from the fourth room have not yet married, so it is Yao Keqing's turn to be a sister-in-law to give them a meeting gift.
None of the married aunts and grandmothers are there, only the daughter who is still waiting to be in the boudoir is there, Song Lanzhi, the fifth lady in the fourth room, knew Yao Keqing earlier, and just now they have spoken, but the sixth lady Song Lanxin and Song Lanzhu from the second room are seeing each other for the first time.
After the meeting, the head of the family, Pingguo, said openly, "Brother Qing will take your daughter-in-law to the ancestral hall to worship your ancestors!"
Song Ziqing carried Yao Keqing out of the upper room, Yao Keqing breathed a long sigh of relief, "No wonder you let me eat something in the morning, if such a big family eats together at noon, I'm afraid I really don't have the heart to eat!"
The family had different thoughts, especially the old lady obviously didn't like her, and she didn't even bother to cover it up.
"I'll take you to worship your ancestors and walk outside, and I'll go over when it's time to eat, and we'll go back immediately after eating!"
Yao Keqing nodded, and went to the ancestral hall with Song Ziqing, the Pingguo Mansion is worthy of the founding of the country, after several generations, there are no less than 100 tablets on the altar table of the ancestral hall.
Song Ziqing instructed Yao Keqing to insert the incense into the incense burner, pointed to the highest tablet and said, "This is the first Pingguo Gong, but it is posthumously sealed, Gaozu died to save Gaozu before he became emperor! So it can be said that today in the Pingguo Mansion is this ancestor who exchanged his life! Grandfather is the eighth Pingguo Gong! The tablets here are all within the five suits of the Guogong Mansion, and most of the other clansmen of the Song family are in Pingzhou! Some have moved to other places to settle down!"
While listening to Song Ziqing's introduction, Yao Keqing silently remembered, and suddenly saw a small tablet on the very edge, and the material was different from other tablets.
Following Yao Keqing's eyes, Song Ziqing said slowly, "That's the biological mother of the eldest uncle and the second uncle!"
The tablet of a concubine's room was placed in the ancestral hall in a bright light, Yao Keqing didn't dare to think deeply about it, Song Ziqing seemed to notice her retreat, hugged her, and said solemnly, "Don't worry, I'm here!"
