The next day is the Zhongyuan Festival, the boundary of Dachu, in addition to the Qingming and Xia Yuan Festival conventions to worship the ancestors, the emperors and princes of the people want to worship the ancestors on this day, and the common people want to sprinkle incense in front of the tombs of the ancestors, and the sky is still black in the morning, and the window of Yan Furong in the Baitao Courtyard is knocked.

Yan Furong muttered bitterly, "Songyan, what's the sound?" ”

The sound of knocking on the window never stopped, Yan Furong gradually lost her sleepiness, had to open her eyes, got out of bed and walked to the window and asked, "Is it Bailing?" ”

Cheng Xin said outside the window, "It's me, Cheng Xin." ”

Yan Furong remembered that she had made an appointment with him to go to Lingyang Mountain outside the city to sweep Yi Shui's tomb today, and she hurriedly put on her clothes, and said, "Is it far to Lingyang Mountain?" ”

Chengxin said, "It will take about half a day to go back and forth to Lingyang Mountain, but adults are going to sacrifice their ancestors this year, so I have to go back quickly." ”

Yan Furong got dressed, picked up the copper basin and opened the door to come out, and asked Cheng expectantly, "When your lord comes back tomorrow, it will be his turn to be on duty at the Guozi Prison, right?" ”

Cheng Xin's eyebrows jumped unnaturally, and he replied, "This night is not a dead rule, and you adults don't often stay overnight in the Guozi Prison. ”

Yan Furong didn't think much about it, and when she heard it, she responded in disbelief and went to the pantry to get hot water.

The gate of the ancestral hall of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion was opened, and the green wisps of red tassels led the people to stand neatly outside the courtyard, and there was a black stone tablet standing in the courtyard, Songyan followed Shao Ding to the corridor in the courtyard, Shao Ying also followed behind them with a small face, and there were four rows of silver-armored guards standing next to the corridor. The three of them walked past them, and the guards with crane feathers on their helmets lowered their heads solemnly, and the snow-white feathers did not dare to look around, but looked directly at the pine smoke of Shao Ding's back in front of them as if they were falling, and there was a kind of wordless beauty.

Shao Ding, who was wearing the same silver armor, walked more slowly than usual in this snow feather, and the three of them stepped into the gate of the ancestral hall, and Song Yan heard the guards outside the door seem to sing a low lament. Inside the door, the candle flame was burning, Shao Ding knelt down, Shao Ying knelt behind him, and Songyan, who had been told what to do, held his breath, took out three incense sticks from the incense tube on the side, lit them and handed them to Shao Ding, and then knelt beside Shao Ding. In front of them, an entire wall was elevated, filled with about dozens of spiritual seats.

Shao Ding took Songyan Shao Ying to kowtow, and the singing voice of the guards outside the door gradually became high-pitched, but it was not tactful, it seemed a little simple, and the pain and regret of Fang Cai gradually passed, and the song revealed excitement and excitement. Shao Ding saluted, did not stand up directly, but knelt straight in place, Song Yan knew that this kind of scene of sacrificing ancestors would definitely touch Shao Ding's heart, just she saw this full face of the spiritual position, assuming that the Yuanhou Mansion was full of talents in the prosperous appearance, and saw that now the green lantern is isolated, and only the three of them are kneeling in front of the spiritual seat, and she can't help but feel a little regretful in her heart.

The generosity of the singing outside the door turned to calm and peaceful, and unconsciously stopped, Shao Ding suddenly kowtowed again outside the ceremony, Songyan was stunned, thinking that this was still a due gift, and hurriedly followed him in a panic to kowtow, and when he raised his head, Shao Ding had already stood up and looked at her beside her. Songyan always felt that his eyes were dark and bright, and although he had hardly ever smiled, he often imagined how warm his eyes would be when he smiled.

Now she saw that in the candlelight, Shao Ding looked at herself, with a gentle smile in her eyes that she had never seen before, and couldn't help kneeling and froze in place.

Seeing this, Shao Ding stretched out his hand helplessly, Song Yan looked at him a little confused, Shao Ying whispered anxiously behind her, "Mother, hand!" Hand! After he finished speaking, he looked at Shao Ding a little timidly, and saw that he didn't say anything, so he relieved himself.

Songyan, who was kneeling, came to her senses, and stretched out her hand in a daze and put it on Shao Ding's hand, Shao Ding's only force, so he helped Songyan up, and naturally pulled her out of the door, Shao Ying grinned and followed behind the two.

When the guards in the courtyard saw them coming out, they knelt down one after another, and the rubbing armor pieces made a soft sound like jade striking each other. When the sound stopped, Songyan could clearly hear the birds on the evergreen trees outside the courtyard, and Shao Dingcai said softly, "God bless Dachu, set an expedition to the north!" ”

The guards couldn't hide their excitement, and repeated word by word, "God bless Dachu, set an expedition to the north!" ”

The voice is extremely soft, as if it has been blown away by the wind at any time, and it is faintly tenacious, waiting for the opportunity to reassemble at any time.

The emerald red wisps outside the courtyard had red eyes, and they repeated in a low voice.

And so the sacrifice ended. Compared with the sacrifices that required all kinds of complicated steps that Songyan saw when he was in Yanfu, the sacrifices in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion were unexpectedly simple, but they made people's hearts particularly touched.

Shao Ding went to the outer courtyard to deal with affairs, Shao Ying reluctantly followed Shao Ding to his own study in the outer courtyard to attend classes, Songyan returned to the Zhengqiu Hall, and he hadn't even drunk a sip of tea, because he was going to leave for the palace in the afternoon, and the sacrificial Mrs. Hou of the Yuan Marquis Mansion only needed to wear plain clothes, so she anxiously asked Ganlu, "Is Mrs. Hou's service ready?" ”

Manna was a little dazed than before, listening to her question, she thought for a while before quickly saying, "Don't worry, everything should be ready." Put on the deep clothes first, wait for the clouds to comb your hair, and then put on the clothes after the big makeup. ”

Song Yan nervously took what he wanted to do in his heart, and said, "Don't forget all kinds of accessories that should be worn, go to the palace, and don't make any mistakes." ”

The four maids hurriedly agreed, and they took action one after another to serve Songyan and clean up.

In the afternoon, it was finally settled, just when the red tassel was invited, Songyan was dizzy from the heat, and invited her to come in, Yunwu Yuhua was fanning her on the side, and Xueya had already taken a few little maids to the ice cellar to get ice.

Hongying inexplicably passed by Xueya, who was in a hurry to go out, and came into the house to salute Songyan, seeing that she was wearing a gold-edged silk robe, wearing a three-bead openwork gold crown, and sitting upright on the Arhat chair in the second room, she couldn't help but be stunned, and asked after saluting, "What's wrong?" ”

Songyan was so hot that he was almost in a trance, and said, "What did you say? ”

Ganlu trotted in with her skirt and mung bean and lily soup in the well water, and Yunwu took it and spooned it to Song's cigarette mouth. Hongying saw it, knowing that there was nothing urgent, I was afraid that it was to go to the palace to see the queen mother in the afternoon according to the order, she had a sense of schadenfreude in her heart, and she pitied the pine smoke from above.

Songyan drank the cold mung bean soup, felt much better, and said to Hongying, "Auntie, sit down, I'm bored." ”

Hongying couldn't help but smile and said, "You're polite, I just want to come and ask you whose needlework is better in Zhengqiu Hall." In Qixia Courtyard, one of the prince's cloaks was torn, and the needlework team in the house couldn't make up for it, so they came to you to try their luck. ”

Ganlu was stunned for a moment, and Songyan said with a smile, "Auntie is lucky, I have a needle and thread here that is excellent." ”

When she finished speaking, she looked at the manna and asked softly, "How many days are you free?" ”

Manna bent her knees, hesitated slightly, and said, "I have your two dresses and two pairs of shoes in my hands these days. ”

Song Yan said indifferently, "It's okay to make my skirt and shoes later, you follow Aunt Hongying to Qixia Courtyard to have a look, if the cloak can be remedied, stay for a few days and mend the cloak." ”

Ganlu agreed, and Hongying hurriedly thanked Songyan and said goodbye with Ganlu with a smile.
