Chapter 31: Swearing
On the morning of the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, Yan Xiaoyue finished breakfast and was about to go to Xiaoxiang Courtyard, when Yang Xiao'er's big girl Xiao Tao came over and asked her to go to Jian'an Hall.
Rejecting the soft sedan chair, it took Yan Xiaoyue more than twenty minutes to walk over with Jin Hui. Entering the Jian'an Hall, he made a regular salute to Yang Mo, who was sitting on the main seat.
After these months of evil mending Yan Xiaoyue can finally distinguish the difference between the salutes, the Wanfu Ceremony is also a big gift, which is generally used when you see an elder or a very valuable person for the first time, put your hands in front of your left chest, press your left hand with your right hand, bend your right leg back, bend your knees deeply, bow your head, and say auspicious words such as Wanfu. Chang Li, the right hand presses the left hand, the left hand is pressed on the left hip bone, the legs are together and the knees are bent, and the head is slightly bowed.
Yan Xiaoyue stood up and asked softly, "Is my uncle planning to leave today?" ”
Yang Mocheng smiled: "Don't worry, it's still early, it's not too late to leave tomorrow." The topic changed, "Xiaoyue, are you still compatible with Xiaoxiao?" ”
Yan Xiaoyue looked at Yang Tingshi strangely, why is this person smiling so happily today? "It's compatible, Xiaoxiao is simple, gentle, and such a good girl, if I can't get along, then what will I become? Huh"
Yang Mocheng nodded, pretending to be careless and said: "That's good, Xiao'er has no other brothers and sisters, and she is not close to other little sisters, according to the old man, he has nothing to talk about with you, of course, the old man can see that you are also really good to Xiao'er, so the old man thinks, why don't you marry Jinlan and become sisters of the opposite sex?" ”
Yan Xiaoyue was startled, how could she make such a play, in this era, it is not a simple matter to call the righteous son and daughter, it is a major event for the whole family. "Ah...... This ...... "Xiao Yue really doesn't know how to say it, she doesn't want to agree, she doesn't agree, it seems that she is very unkind, no matter how you look at it, Xiao Yue has not suffered, having such a big official as your father-in-law is not much better than you being an orphan girl, but when she thinks that if she recognizes her father-in-law, then he has the right to interfere with her affairs, Xiao Yue is not very willing.
Before Yan Xiaoyue could say no, Yang Xiao'er lifted the door curtain and walked in quickly, took Xiaoyue's hand very excitedly, and said, "Daddy's proposal is too good, Sister Xiaoyue, you should be my sister." ”
Xiao Yue looked at Yang Xiao'er, smiled slightly, turned her head to Yang Mo and admitted that she really said: "I can be Xiaoxiao's sister, but I also ask Lord Yang to promise the little girl, you have to make your own decisions about my affairs without my consent, even if it is for my good." ”
Yang Mocheng looked at Yan Xiaoyue in surprise, what a not simple little girl! In the face of such a good thing, he can still stay sober, of course, his original intention is not to have any bad intentions, so he happily agreed, and by the way, he gave Xiaoyue a reassurance, "Don't worry, the old man will inform you of everything about you and let you make your own decisions, and I will write this point into the family tree when the time comes." In fact. The old man asked you to marry Xiao'er, and it is also selfish to accept you as a righteous daughter, you are too sensible than Xiao'er, and the old man asked you to marry Jinlan just to let you help Xiao'er more in the future, so that she will not say her own words without anyone. Of course, the old man will also try his best to protect you. ”
Yang Mocheng said this, Xiaoyue not only did not feel that she was being used, but was moved by this father's love. What a deep father's love this is, Yang Mocheng can think so far for his daughter, so fine, if Xiaoyue was still a little worried about Xiaoxiao's marriage yesterday, she would not be worried at all, with such a father who plans everything for his daughter, what else is not taken into account by him?
Looking at Xiaoxiao, Xiaoyue is really jealous of her, she is a human being in two lives, the only thing she has never felt is such parental love, the most selfless and unrequited feelings in the world.
Finally, under Yang Mocheng's instructions, the incense case was placed, the three animals were offered, the incense burner was lit, and Yan Xiaoyue and Yang Xiaoer knelt down side by side on the futon against the incense case.
"The yellow sky is above, and the earth is below. I, Yan Xiaoyue, am willing to marry Yang Xiao'er with Jinlan, help each other, and treat each other with all my heart. I don't want to be born in the same year and month, but I want to die in the same year and month. ”
"The yellow sky is above, and the earth is below. I, Yang Xiao'er, am willing to marry Jin Lan with Yan Xiaoyue, help each other, and treat each other with all my heart. I don't want to be born in the same year and month, but I want to die in the same year and month. ”
After returning to the hall after respecting heaven and earth, Xiaoyue gave Yang Mocheng tea again, and changed her name to "Father-in-law". Yang Mocheng took a pair of jade bracelets out, and the emerald green color was excellent at first glance. Yang Mocheng looked at the bracelet with nostalgia, "This is Xiao'er's mother's favorite thing before her death, I used to say that I would give birth to a pair of daughters and pass them on as a dowry, today is all your mother's thoughts, I will pass them on to you, I hope your sisterhood is stronger than Shi." ”
Yan Xiaoyue and Yang Xiao'er each took a bracelet and put it on each other, and the "sister" and "sister" kept screaming. Actually, it's really not bad to have a loved one, isn't it?
After a while, Yang Mocheng said to Yan Xiaoyue: "Xiaoyue, I will record you in the Yang family tree today, and tomorrow we will leave for Xiao Mansion together, and we will return after the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, and you all go and prepare." ”
You did it on purpose! Yan Xiaoyue looked at Yang Mocheng protestingly, but she could only stare at the back of his head, this Jiang is really old and spicy! Otherwise, why would she be in such a hurry to accept her as a righteous daughter, it turns out that there is still a pit waiting for her here. Of course, only Yan Xiaoyue was depressed, but Yang Xiao'er was so happy that she pulled Xiaoyue and went straight to Tingyu Pavilion, directing Jin Hui and them to pack up their things.
Since going to Yang's Mansion has become an established fact, Yan Xiaoyue also cheered up and arranged her luggage, and she didn't need more clothes and jewelry, just bring a few useful boutiques. I brought a lot of snacks to eat, and a whole dozen of the handkerchiefs embroidered with gold embroidered on weekdays, which were gifts for those cousins, and I also sent someone out to buy some medium pen and ink to give to my brothers.
At night, I personally made a few forehead wipes, which were prepared for the old lady. Jin Xiu, Jin Hui, they were busy at night and made a few pairs of shoes, and others could not do without three aunts and uncles.
Alas, this big family is trouble, everything has to be considered, Xiaoyue's busy work, Xiaoxiao has also driven, this little girl has been restless recently, no one has prepared any meeting gifts, uncles and aunts have not returned to the old house a few years ago, and she has not prepared anything this year, she only prepared two. If it weren't for Xiaoyue asking about the size of her aunts' feet, she wouldn't have been ready for it, so a night of messy baking passed.
