Chapter 249 Speculation
Old Lady Rong coughed lightly at this time, "The time has come, let's all go in!" Mama Yan helped her to the middle of the house, and Mrs. Rong looked at the tablet on the altar, folded her hands and prayed silently. The room fell silent for a moment, except for the occasional flicker of the lamp on the table.
Luo Yan followed behind Rong Xi and followed everyone to light incense on the incense table on the side. Seeing everyone's calm and awe-inspiring appearance, Luo Yan couldn't help but feel awe. The Luo family does not participate in the ancestral festival, and every year Luo Shizi takes Luo Zinian and Mrs. Luo to the ancestral temple to make incense.
Now as a woman, she wants to sacrifice the ancestors of her husband's family, Luo Yan pinched three sparkling sandalwood sticks, and couldn't help but look cautious. As soon as she turned around, she bumped into Meng Lingju. Meng Lingju snorted lightly, and three small black holes were immediately eroded out of the newly changed lychee white embroidered peony brocade cloak on her body.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Luo Yan shook her hand and the sandalwood fell to the ground, and while apologizing in a low voice, she hurriedly brushed Meng Lingju's cloak.
Meng Lingju shook off Luo Yan's hand, walked to the incense table, took three incense sticks, and turned around to step on the three incense sticks that Luo Yan had dropped on the ground. The three sticks of sandalwood were instantly crushed. Meng Lingju turned around and walked behind Rong Jue, glanced at Luo Yan, and then fell on the altar in front of him.
Luo Yan didn't know what to do for a while, seeing that everyone was staring intently at the altar in front of her, Luo Yan turned around and went to the incense table to get incense. Mama Yan stretched out her hand to stop her and shook her head.
"My incense is gone." Luo Yan was a little anxious. "If the incense is gone, you can't light it again. This is the rule, the third grandmother should go out first! Although Mama Yan's voice was small, her words were clear.
Luo Yan hesitated for a moment, holding back the tears of grievance in her eyes, so she had to silently withdraw from the door. Hearing the old lady inside start to recite the blessing language, everyone followed aloud......
The sound of walking sounded in the house, and Luo Yan knew that everyone had begun to kneel on the futon and kowtow to their ancestors...... After a long while, Luo Yan felt that she was about to stand as an icicle before she heard the sound of footsteps in the house.
Rong Xi was the first to come out, "Lady, how did you do it?" I'm not going to see you in a blink of an eye. ”
"My incense is gone." Luo Yan whispered. "Mama Yan won't let me light any more incense."
"Bad luck!" Mrs. Cheng came out and looked at Luo Yan and said casually, as if talking about Luo Yan and talking to herself. The mermaids came out and stood at the leeward gate, ready to say goodbye to the old lady.
Luo Yan and Rong Xi stood by the door and waited for Mrs. Jiang to come out.
"I said you shouldn't go back tonight. This is when the frost starts to weigh down. The dove tower is empty now, so stay there for one night! The old lady looked at Mrs. Jiang and Rong Yongxi, and then at Rong Xi and Luo Yan.
"Ju Dove Tower is a boudoir, even if Li Niang and Jiao Niang don't live, they can't let the man live. Every time Mei Niang comes back. My son-in-law also went to live alone in Qingfangyuan, and he couldn't live in the Ju Dove Tower with Mei Niang......" Mrs. Cheng's thin lips moved, and she glanced at Mrs. Jiang and Luo Yan coldly, as if Mrs. Jiang and Luo Yan had to live in the Ju Dove Tower.
This time Rong Yonglu was dismissed, and Mrs. Cheng's sojourn in Qingfangyuan finally paid for the desolation, but this did not make her gentle and humble, Yonglu Lou had just gotten rid of the haze, and Mrs. Cheng took back the power of Rong Mansion with awe-inspiring pride......
"The second sister-in-law is too worried, and we are planning to go back! The dyeing workshop is not too far away. Mrs. Jiang smiled gently, feeling that there was no need for Mrs. Cheng to have a compelling expression.
Luo Yan smiled at the old lady. "Don't worry, old lady, the carriage will arrive at the dyeing shop in just an hour. It's not too late to go back, and when our Muxi Garden is built next spring, my mother-in-law and father-in-law, Rong Xi and I can come to see the old lady every day. ”
"That's good! Your Mu Xiyuan will be done quickly, and I won't have any heart problems. The old lady took Luo Yan's hand, and the smile on her face turned into a walnut.
"Is it that easy to build a garden? Just your little shop and a few rocks on the mountain? Rong Jue sneered, his face full of disdain.
"The fourth brother is not right, as long as we work hard, how can there be a garden that cannot be built, not only must be built. I also want to build a better Muxi Garden than before. The smile on Rong Xi's face was like a warm sun, but his words were sonorous and powerful.
"Then it depends on whether the ancestors have shown their spirits to bless you, even the incense can't be held steadily, and the ancestors are disgusted and insincere. Jue'er. Let's go. Mrs. Cheng glanced at Luo Yan and said goodbye to the old lady. Meng Lingju turned around and glanced at Luo Yan, who caught a hint of ridicule on the corner of her mouth......
Did she do it on purpose? Luo Yan shivered. Mrs. Wu and Luo Chan had been standing behind Mrs. Cheng, and Rong Yonglu asked about Rong Rui's situation, and when they saw Mrs. Cheng and they were gone, Mrs. Wu stepped forward and retired with the old lady.
Luo Yan glanced at Luo Chan. Suddenly asked Mrs. Wu, "Does the eldest lady still have a small jar of red clay?" Can you lend me one, I want to take it to the capital to make nourishing soup for Xianggong. I heard that the red clay pot soup is more flavorful. ”
"What little pot of red clay?" Mrs. Wu looked dazed.
"It's my mother-in-law who asked Vanilla to bring me that little jar of gold-painted red clay." Luo Chan added.
"When did I ask Vanilla to bring you a small jar of red clay! After the incense branch came back, I always sent the incense branch to do things. The vanilla is waiting in Brother Qing's room, are you dizzy and misremembered! Look at your face for a while, if Rui'er comes back, I don't want to look at you. Mrs. Wu covered her mouth and nose with an embroidered handkerchief in disgust, "Xiangzhi palm lamp, let's go back." ”
Luo Chan was stunned for a moment, glanced at Luo Yan, Luo Yan nodded, Luo Chan is also a smart and clever person, and suddenly understood something. Luo Chan's already blue face became even more blue and gloomy. "Qing'er, let's go!"
Luo Chan turned around, a touch of coldness crossed her eyes, I must let that slut be crushed!
The old lady looked at Luo Chan's back and sighed, held Luo Yan's hand and said, "Your sister's life is not good, she married Rong Rui, and Rong Rui has been in a lawsuit, and she doesn't have a good day!" Old Lady Rong had been shriveled lips, "You will inevitably be nervous when you put on incense for the first time, and worship your ancestors on Chinese New Year's Eve, you have to be careful, don't drop the incense again." ”
"Yan'er has written it down, and she must be more careful in the future!"
"That's good! Rong Xi Jinshi is finished, you have to quickly add a son and a half daughter, my knees are empty and boring, I am looking forward to my great-grandson! Brother Qing is weak, and he cries when he sees someone, I really don't know what to do! ”
Old Mrs. Rong held Luo Yan with one hand and Rong Xi with the other, putting their hands together. Only then did he let go of his hand and helped Mama Yan down the steps and went to Cuiyuan.
"Take care, old lady, we'll come to see you later."
Mrs. Jiang whispered behind the old lady, but the old lady didn't look back, raised her hand and shook it. Seeing the figure of the old lady in the shadow of the lamp and slowly disappear into the Cuiyuan, Mrs. Jiang and Rong Yongxi walked towards the door of the mansion.
Luo Yan held Rong Xi behind her and whispered, "Xianggong, my incense was touched and broken by the fourth grandmother just now. ”
"I knew you wouldn't be so careless!" Rong Xi clenched Luo Yan's cold hand.
Luo Yan's hands were cold, and her heart was even colder. Unexpectedly, the people in the Rong Mansion secretly harbored suspicious intentions......
