Chapter 271: Chinese New Year (5)

The ancestral hall is on the side of the front hall, sits in the east and faces west, and is a courtyard with two entrances. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Because Yuqiao stared closely, he let the mother-in-law clean up neatly before and after.

An ancient green bronze tripod was set up in the courtyard, and incense had been burned in it, and the smoke was curling and the ashes were scattered. Bypass the front look, it is the main hall, and the big plaque is hung high, with the four big characters of "drinking water and thinking of the source". The base of the thick pillar is newly pasted with a variety of delicate decorations in the color of talisman seals and gold tin foil, which is quite solemn and solemn.

Under the corridor of the main hall, there were many children of the Zhou family, who were not seen on weekdays, and when they all whispered greetings excitedly, they saw Zhou Zhenwei coming with Yuqiao.

They all knew that the little lady of the fourth master was beautiful and talented, so they looked at it casually or inadvertently, and wanted to take a look, but they were a little disappointed, how could they see it clearly, wrapped in a smoke-purple brocade and wool cloak, and finally glimpsed it, and the cheeks were exposed to porcelain white, and they were instantly blocked by the burly fourth master.

Some people didn't give up, and called the fourth master and the fourth grandmother to come up and make a move, but Zhou Zhenwei glared back coldly.

Yu Qiao bent her lips and wanted to laugh, but she thought that she was still angry with him, so she put away her stealing eyes, and when she reached the threshold of the main hall, she ignored him and stepped in.

There are four niches in the hall, each niche is placed in the middle of the black lacquer painted gold cabinet, which is for the ancestral tablet, and the long table with red sandalwood carved blessing pattern is set up in front of the cabinet to prepare for the sacrifice to place a variety of offerings. Except for the old lady who has not yet arrived, the rest of the female dependents have come scattered. Seeing everyone staring at themselves playfully, Yu Qiao knew that the scene of getting up early must have been muttered behind the backs of the big-mouthed Mama Zhang.

In his heart, he resented Zhou Zhenwei again. begged him so softly, and after the sacrifice, whatever he wanted, she would bend her mind and rejoice. just refused, heavy-handed, got sweaty and poured her violently, and blocked her fiercely to prevent her from coming out.

At this time, I saw the old lady holding the hand of the eldest lady and entering the threshold.

The spirit of the old lady is particularly evident today, the hair bun is carefully combed upside down in the shape of a bat, interspersed with red gold inlaid with emerald hairpins, dressed in an ochre bright satin placket robe, and the hem of the placket is embroidered with a large group of flowers with the word Ruyi Shou, walking between, you can see that the word Shou is faintly smart, quite good-looking.

She stood firm in the first place, and everyone was solemn. First invited the eldest son and eldest grandson to preside over the sacrifice, and then passed the offering round to the old lady to set the table, and then took everyone to light incense and kneel and worship, a piece of black pressure, leaned over and kowtowed to the ground, stood up straight and silent, knowing that there was a god on the head three feet, praying that the ancestors and ancestors would bless the Zhou family with many sons and grandchildren, with a long history, and it seemed that after a long time, it seemed that it was only a moment, and the ceremony was completed.

When Yuqiao was in the boudoir in previous years, because the family was thin, when performing sacrificial worship, it was extremely simple, and there was no such a big battle. In his previous life, he married Li Yannian, and it was only one year, and when the roots of the year were thin and cold to each other, Li's mother was even more forbidden to enter the ancestral hall for half a step. And now in the ancestral hall of Zhoufu, he was pulled by his aunt's side, and with this big family standing up and kneeling, lighting incense and kowtowing, and delivering offerings, his heart was unspeakably emotional.

I couldn't help but peek out of the threshold, my husband and my uncles stood in a row, he was already lofty, and he was wearing a stone blue moire carved silk robe, but he didn't know where his soul went, his face was cold, his lips were pursed, and his whole body was dripping with coldness.

Yuqiao's hands were cold, no wonder she was delicate, the husband and wife had been frowning for a long time, and they had a frowning eyebrow and a glance at each other, and every lip movement was depicted and transformed, and they were thorough, who had a strange appearance, I didn't think it was wrong, and people had already guessed it.

.........

It is rare for the old lady to be so lively in the room, Su Ri is far away outside Beijing and does not often return, usually does not see the shadow, at this time all drag the family to take turns to come forward to worship, the old lady is happy in his heart, there are piles of purses prepared in advance, all of them are bulging, smiling faces, and then trembling to pick up and stuff into the hands of juniors.

At this moment, he saw that the second old man was dressed shabby and looked embarrassed, so he walked up to her and made a gesture.

The old lady glanced at the second lady who was eating tea indifferently on the left without a trace, and instantly said with a straight face: "Do you still know that when you came back, you came to see my old woman, have you been taken away by the ghost of Hades?" I heard that you raised a little drama outside as an aunt, why didn't you bring it for me to meet? I want to see what kind of virtuous and virtuous girl she is, so pleasing to you, that she doesn't even care whether her son lives or dies! If you pay more attention to Zhenhuan, you will not fall to the point where you are now. ”

The second master suddenly knelt at her feet, lowered his head and choked up: "It's the son who is not filial and ignorant, and he never thought that the little hooves were as bad as that, and he rolled up the land deed money, and now it's all gone!" The son knew that he was wrong, but begged his mother for forgiveness. ”

"What use are you asking me?" The old lady said: "You go and ask the second daughter-in-law, if she forgives you, I will forgive you, if she refuses, I will not spare you." ”

asked Zhulan to invite the second lady over, but she refused to get up when she saw that she was alive or dead. glanced at his son, looked at the second lady one by one, frowned and said, "If you give me this old woman's face, come to me!" ”

The second lady couldn't, she lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes before she approached the old lady's side, so she pulled her arm, sat down next to the pit, and said with a smile: "I'll support you today, and let this fool compensate you." And he gave him another look.

The second master understood, knelt down in front of her, and said the words that he had confessed in his mouth.

"If you knew this was the case, why did you ..... it in the first place!" The second lady was choked with words, hateful, and made a gesture to leave.

The old lady tightened her hand and didn't allow her to leave, and said to herself: "I know that you are wronged and hate the person in front of you, but what should I do!" One day husband and wife, you have been here for decades, haven't you? Look at this person, how angry he was in the past, and he wanted him to kneel in front of someone to admit his mistake, it is better to give him a knife, don't you kneel in front of you to admit your mistake? Is it a big lesson, understand your good, and now I want to accept your love, in the future, you will pinch his shortcomings, see that you have lost three points, see that he still dare not control it? If he commits it again, if you say you, I will no longer forgive him, and remove his name from the descendants of the Zhou family, and there should be no more such person. ”

After a pause, he sighed again: "He is like this now, he is not what you are used to on weekdays, no matter whether it is good or bad, it all depends on him, I always make you stronger, words and deeds are stronger, no one can pinch it, now that the granddaughter-in-law is also retired, Zhenhuan has also fallen into sin, you two are not holding each other, just thinking about being alone?" So what's so good about that? As she spoke, she saw that the second lady's eyes were red, and she couldn't help wiping away her tears.

"For the New Year, I just sacrificed to my ancestors, why did the second sister-in-law make the old lady cry?" The third lady saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly stepped forward to open the siege, stuffed the second lady's hand into the second master's palm, and said with a smile: "You two must have a lot to worry about, find a place to reconcile, don't hinder the grandchildren and nephews from receiving the purse, look, some people have complaints on their faces!"
