H2> There was silence in the house......

Yan Chengyue's brothers and sisters didn't speak, Yan Baojia was also annoyed by Lin's actions, and didn't intercede for her, Yan Weiguo and Yan Anguo, as brothers-in-law, were not good at speaking for their sister-in-law.

Lin's two brothers-in-law were already a little resentful of her, and they would not intercede for her.

At this time, Li Luan'er, as a daughter-in-law, had to say a few words for the Lin family.

She smiled and said to the old man Yan: "Grandpa should praise his wife, it has not been easy for his wife for so many years, not only to manage the back house, but also to have children, and to serve the master so well, speaking of which, the wife also has a great credit to the Yan family, anyway, regardless of others, I am grateful to my wife first, if it wasn't for my wife's good teaching, where would I have been able to get a good husband." ”

The playfulness of what she said not only praised the Lin family, but also praised Yan Chengyue, and everyone in the room laughed.

Zhang Shi smiled first, and dragged Li Luan'er: "I also look at how thick Luan's face is, how good her mouth is, I don't praise your wife when I look at you, you praise Chengyue, but what you said is right, we Chengyue looks like this, everything in this foundation is the best, you are picking up a good husband for nothing." ”

Shuxiu, the most clever of the four sisters, also smiled: "What my aunt said is very wrong, sister-in-law, where is she exaggerating her mother and eldest brother, she is praising herself, saying that she has a good eye and can pick people, but isn't she picking on the eldest brother in the crowd." ”

Old General Yan also laughed: "Okay, you don't say that Luan is a girl, she is thin-skinned, and it should be ashamed to continue talking." ”

"Isn't it?" Li Luan'er smiled: "My face is the thinnest, my aunt and the fourth sister will continue to talk about it, I should find a crack in the ground and drill into it." ”

After some talk from these people, the atmosphere in the room suddenly improved.

Yan Chengyue glanced at Li Luan'er gratefully, although he didn't say anything, anyone could see the relaxation and joy in his expression.

Not only the Wanxiu sisters, but also the most arrogant Chengmeng can see that Yan Chengyue attaches great importance to Li Luan'er.

The Lin family naturally saw it, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, she was angry that everyone in the Yan family attached importance to Li Luan'er, and she was also angry that Yan Chengyue valued Li Luan'er more than her mother.

Although the Lin family does not like Yan Chengyue's eldest son, Yan Chengyue is pregnant and born in October, as a mother, the Lin family always dislikes the status of the daughter-in-law in her son's heart more important than being a mother.

Therefore, instead of thanking Li Luan'er for relieving her, on the contrary, she hated Li Luan'er for stealing Yan Chengyue's attention, she lowered her head and whispered: "It's really good at pleasing and behaving well, no wonder the old man took a fancy to it at first glance, but it turned out that this mouth coaxed the old man." ”

Her voice was very small, and no one else heard it, but Yan Bao's family, which was closest to her, really heard it.

Yan Bao's family can hear it, Yan Chengyue and Li Luan'er, one has internal kung fu, and the other has strong mental strength, so naturally they also heard it.

Li Luan'er didn't do much, Yan Chengyue first felt very uncomfortable in his heart, but today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and the Lin family is his mother, how can he not be angry for Li Luan'er, he can only endure it, reach out and pull Li Luan'er's hand, to show that he is on Li Luan'er's side.

Old General Yan's eyes swept over the Lin clan, and then swept over Yan Chengyue and his wife, and coughed: "Okay, since everyone has come, let's worship the ancestors first, and then eat the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner after the ancestors." ”

Yan Bao's family got the order, so he took the Yan family to the ancestral hall, the men of the Yan family entered the ancestral hall to worship, and the women worshipped outside.

Because the Lin family is the eldest daughter-in-law, the women outside are naturally taken by her, she stands at the forefront, and Li Luan'er, as the eldest daughter-in-law of the long house, follows the Lin family and learns how to sacrifice.

Zhou's own hands to wipe all kinds of clean ritual utensils, Zhang held the sacrificial fruits, the two of them passed to Li Luan'er in the same way, and then Li Luan'er held it and sent it to Lin's hands, Lin put it on the offering table, put it away, Lin first incense, led a group of daughters-in-law and daughters to kneel down to worship their ancestors, and prayed to the ancestors to bless the Yan family in the coming year and harmony, and the family was blessed with longevity and health.

When the worship was over, Li Luan'er only saw what kind of sacrificial supplies were needed, but she didn't know how to prepare these objects and what specifications to use.

Seeing that she was confused, Zhou, who had the best temper, dragged her aside and talked carefully.

Li Luan'er listened, and was even more dissatisfied with the Lin family, it turned out that these should be taught by Lin's serious mother-in-law, but the Lin family was obviously herding sheep and grazing, and didn't want to care about Li Luan'er, no, the Lin family kept these to teach the second daughter-in-law.

Although Li Luan'er was a little dissatisfied with Lin's partiality, she didn't feel anything bad about her, she just felt more sorry for Yan Chengyue, Yan Chengyue had to suffer from his mother's favoritism since he was a child, how uncomfortable he should be at a young age, how far did Lin's partiality go? actually made Yan Chengyue, his biological son, cold to her.

But it turned out that the Dayong Dynasty paid great attention to inheritance.

People are very kind to the eldest son and eldest grandson, let's talk about the royal first, generally the heir to the throne is the eldest son, the emperors of the Yong Dynasty have consciously respected the principle of having a descendant and no heir, and there has never been a deviation.

The same is true for the families of officials in the DPRK and China, and those families who have inherited the old family attach more importance to this, not to mention these, that is, ordinary people's families attach great importance to their eldest sons and grandchildren.

It is precisely because of the preferential treatment of the long house that the eldest son and eldest granddaughter-in-law also have a very high status in the whole family.

What is the red and white affairs in the family, what kind of banquet to go out to, especially when sacrificing the ancestors, is presided over by the eldest son and eldest granddaughter-in-law.

Because of this, the average family is very strict with the selection of the daughters-in-law of the eldest son and the eldest grandson, and the teaching is also quite careful, just because they represent the face of a family, and there is no difference in the slightest cuò.

As far as ancestor worship is concerned, no matter what kind of family it is, how rich it is, the ritual utensils used to worship ancestors every year cannot pass through the hands of slaves, and the eldest daughters-in-law must be invited out of the treasury by hand to clean and wipe them in person.

What kind of ritual utensils are needed, how to place the ritual utensils, how to choose the fruits, and what kind of specifications to use, these are all exquisite, one is not good, that is, disrespectful to the ancestors, business trips, not only the eldest daughter-in-law's father-in-law, but also the members of the entire family will condemn the eldest daughter-in-law, and even strict to the point of leaving the house because of disrespect to the ancestors.

Ancestor worship is a very important thing for the ancients, can not tolerate a little bit of difference, the sacrifice process of the pay attention to the fan, the whole process is cumbersome and solemn, every year to worship the ancestors is the best time to show the family's eldest daughter-in-law Derong, a daughter-in-law in the whole family's status, but also by the ancestors to prepare how to reflect.

Although Zhou is a little daughter-in-law, she was born in a clear stream, her grandfather was an official of the Ministry of Rites, and he was very particular about etiquette, so Zhou was taught to understand these things very well.

She told Li Luan'er one by one, telling Li Luan'er what kind of family needs what kind of utensils, whether gold or silver or copper or porcelain, and what kind of fruits, what kind of animals and four animals are very particular, that is, the wine for the ancestors must be brewed by the eldest daughter-in-law herself, and after the ancestors, these wines will be taken out for the entire family members to drink, and the quality of the wine has repeatedly explained how the eldest daughter-in-law of the family is cultivated.

The more Li Luan'er listened, the more she looked down on the Lin family in her heart.

She felt that Lin's brain was funny, and she really didn't know the priorities.

Lin really thought that if she didn't teach Li Luan'er, she would be embarrassed when Li Luan'er came to preside over the ancestor worship, and she would be fine?

She didn't want to think about it, Li Luan'er was her Lin family's daughter-in-law, Li Luan'er was not good, not only her face was lost, but also the face of Lin's mother-in-law, and even the face of the entire Yan family.

Li Luan'er really doesn't know what the Lin family thinks, Yan Chengyue is her son no matter what she says, even if the Lin family is partial to the second son, but it shouldn't be like this for the eldest son.

It's all the meat that fell from their bodies, is it necessary for a painful life, and a hateful gnashing of teeth?

Did Yan Chengyue kill Lin's father, or robbed Lin's mother? How did she hate like this?

After Zhou finished speaking, Li Luan'er solemnly expressed her gratitude to Zhou, and kept what Zhou said in her heart, thinking that she would wait until she had time to ask Mrs. Jin, who had prepared objects to worship her ancestors more than once in Jun's house.

After worshipping the ancestors, it was already dark, and General Yan asked people to set up two tables of banquets in the front hall, he personally took the men of the Yan family to sit on the banquet outside, and the Lin family took the female dependents of the Yan family to sit on a table of banquets in the inner room between the screens.

The remaining wine from the ancestors was brought to the table, and the sound of firecrackers outside was heard throughout the world, and the girls also served various dishes one by one to the banquet.

The first place is on the men's side, a large table full of dishes, and I don't know how many kinds there are.

When it came to the woman's side, Li Luan'er quietly counted it, there were a total of thirty-six large and small plates, that is to say, there were a total of thirty-six dishes, and the dishes were also extremely complete.

Thinking about the meal she usually used to come to the old mansion to invite An Jianli, it was clear that this was probably the most sumptuous meal that the Yan family had eaten in a year.

The Yan family has always been frugal, even the old general Yan has only three or four dishes for lunch, and a bowl of soup, and the rest of the master's meals are even simpler, that is, although the Lin family is a little unclear, but she does not pursue much luxury in eating, on the contrary, the Lin family is very good at running a family, she presides over the back house, and she works very eating.

There are not many dishes for each master of the Yan family at each meal, but the dishes at each meal are not the same, so the price of the Yan family is changed so that the Yan family eats well and saves money on the meal.

Li Luan'er just thinks that the Lin family is not good in this way, but in this regard, she still admires the Lin family. R1152
