Winter solstice. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It is the beginning of the gradual strengthening of the yang energy of heaven and earth, representing the beginning of the next cycle, and it is the day of great luck.

On this day, from the royal family to the common people in the Great Xia Kingdom, they have to worship winter, worship ancestors and eat winter solstice dinner.

So after getting out of the carriage, Mo'er, Qu Tianlin, and Xuanlin did not go directly to see the old lady, but returned to the courtyard to freshen up and change clothes.

On the day of the winter solstice, after the juniors take a bath and freshen up, they put on a new dress and go to the elders' room to kneel and salute, and the elders will send objects in return.

After Mo'er bathed, she deliberately changed into the clothes that Mrs. Tai had customized for her in the autumn...... She wore a purple lapel jacket and a Bafufeng skirt, and the shoes under the skirt were delicately embroidered with a few red plums. Qu Tianlin also changed into a crescent-white brocade robe, covered with a jacket of the same color.

"Grandmother, grandson and daughter-in-law give you winter greetings." Qu Tianlin and Mo'er knelt in front of the old lady, and then bowed.

"Okay, good, get up. Lin'er, Mo'er, get up quickly. The old lady's face was full of loving smiles, and when Mo'er and Qu Tianlin kowtowed, she bent down and reached out to help them both up.

Before Mo'er and Qu Tianlin stood up, Mama Xu took out two palm-sized carved red lacquer boxes from the tray at the end of the girl beside her.

"This pair of dragon and phoenix auspicious mutton fat jade pendants were specially ordered by someone for you and your husband and wife." As she spoke, the old lady took the two carved red lacquer boxes from Mama Xu and handed them to Mo'er and Qu Tianlin respectively. "I hope that you husband and wife will be harmonious and beautiful, and you will spread more branches and leaves for my Qu family."

Qu Tianlin took the carved red lacquer box, and said to the old lady with a smile: "Inheriting grandmother's auspicious words, Mo'er and I will definitely give you a few more fat great-grandchildren to hug when we arrive." ”

Mo'er also went to pick up the carved red lacquer box.

But when she heard Qu Tianlin's assurances to the old lady next to her, a drop of cold sweat couldn't help but slip down her head.

gave birth to a few more fat great-grandchildren, and the husband regarded her as a sow that could only lay cubs!

"Okay, grandmother is waiting to help you two bring your great-grandson." The old lady's eyes smiled into crescent moons, "Come, open it and take a look, see if you like it or not." ”

Qu Tianlin and Mo'er each opened the box in their hands.

Warm and crystalline, white and flawless, white as clotted fat, at a glance is the best mutton fat jade.

The two pieces of jade are shaped like crescent moons, Qu Tianlin's piece is carved with "Xianglong Spitting Pearls", and Mo'er's piece is carved with "Youfeng Laiyi", and the two pieces of jade are just round together.

Half a full moon.

Mo'er understands that the old lady really hopes that the two of them can be reconciled and beautiful.

After Mo'er and Qu Tianlin finished kneeling, it was Fenglin and Xuanlin's turn.

Mrs. Tai also gave each of them a pair of dragon and phoenix jade pendants, but the carved patterns were different.

"Fenglin, Xuanlin, the two of you are not too young, you have to hurry up this marriage! If there is a girl you like, bring it back to your grandmother, as long as the eight characters match, if the family background is not family, the grandmother doesn't care. ”

The old lady didn't know that Qu Tianlin's original fetal poison had been cured, and now another poison was planted on his body.

Now her old man thinks that the fetal poison on Qu Tianlin's body is completely because of the good luck that Mo'er brought to him when she was in line with him.

Therefore, the old lady is more and more convinced of this eight-character matching to choose her daughter-in-law.

After the winter, Mrs. Tai took Mo'er, Qu Tianlin, Fenglin, and Xuanlin to the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors.

Pig's head, white cut meat, seasonal vegetables, fruits, pastries, etc., have long been placed on the incense table.

The old lady led Mo'er and the four of them, knelt on the brocade mat and kowtowed three times to the ancestral tablets.

At this time, several family members handed the lit incense to the masters.

After the incense was applied, the maids removed the brocade mats placed on the ground, and the two servants carried a mahogany table where the brocade mats had just been placed, and placed five brocade sticks. Then the food on the incense table that was used to worship the ancestors was served, and this was the food for their lunch.

In the traditional customs of Daxia, future generations enjoy the food of ancestor worship, which means not forgetting the roots.

After lunch, they can go back to their rooms for a lunch break.

But as a bride, Mo'er will be the first year of marrying into her in-laws' family - New Year's Day, Chinese New Year's Eve, Chongyang, and Winter Solstice dinner.

So Mo'er, even if she is tired now, she can't take a nap.

Qu Tianlin couldn't bear to see her work so hard, so he decided to accompany her to the kitchen.

It was rare for him to have this heart, and Mo'er did not refuse, and went to the kitchen with him with a smile.

As a bride, Mo'er opened the winter solstice dinner for the first time on the night of the winter solstice, and the first problem she had to solve was naturally what to prepare?

For this reason, she not only asked Chef Liu, who was in charge of the kitchen of the City Lord's Mansion, to come over for questioning.

"Mrs. Qiyu, for the winter solstice dinner in the City Lord's Mansion, except for the dumplings and a steamed fish, the other dishes only need to be auspicious." Chef Liu read a few dishes to Mo'er that he would cook in previous years.

Mo'er is a superb cook, and Chef Liu also knows it.

So he is also quite looking forward to the craftsmanship of this new lady.

After listening to some suggestions from Chef Liu, Mo'er had a number in her heart, and she also had a concept in her heart for the winter solstice dinner in the evening.

The first thing she has to do now is to make dumplings.

"Husband, what kind of stuffed rice balls do you like to eat? Grandmother, second brother, and Xuanlin, what kind of stuffed glutinous rice balls do they like to eat? When kneading the dough, Mo'er asked Qu Tianlin about everyone's tastes. Qu Tianlin knew that Mo'er wanted to make everyone's favorite flavors, but he felt that it was too troublesome to do so, and the tired look on Mo'er's face made him feel distressed, so he couldn't help but smile and said: "In previous years, Chef Liu made sesame stuffing for the winter solstice dinner."

What he meant at the moment was to let Mo'er wrap sesame filling.

Mo'er can also see that her husband is distressed and herself.

But after all, this is the first time she has had a four-night dinner since she married into her in-law's family, and she wants to behave well.

Thinking in her heart, Mo'er didn't ask Qu Tianlin, but thought about it herself.

Qu Tianlin saw Mo'er's thoughts and provided her with some advice.

Kneading the dough in her hand, Mo'er suddenly remembered her and Crystal's memories of Baiguo Osmanthus Cake together in the Cuisine Restaurant, and remembered that Mo'er thought of Baiguo Osmanthus Cake and thought of the imperial capital, and when she thought of the imperial capital, Mo'er couldn't help but worry about Rong Xuan and Qiyun who were separated from them in Yudu.

"Husband, did you say that Qi Yun and Rong Xuan returned to the imperial capital at this time?"

When Qu Tianlin heard this, he calculated the time, and then said: "At that time, they also chose to take the waterway and then turn to the sea route to take the official ship, and they didn't need to stop for investigation all the way, so they must have arrived in the imperial capital one day earlier than us."
