Chapter Thirty-Nine: Everything is ready, please enter the urn
In the early morning of the second day, while Rong Jingyu was still combing her hair, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old maid ran over.
"I've seen the eldest lady, the eldest lady Fu'an." The new title bead saluted Rong Jingyu, and the unfamiliar appearance and familiar name made Rong Jingyu feel in a trance for a moment.
Every courtyard in Rongfu is like this, no matter how many generations the maid has changed, as long as the owner has not been replaced, then the maid will always be the same name.
"What's the matter?" Rong Jingyu's gaze looked through the thick hair and stopped on the bead's body for a moment.
Zhu was very curious about the legendary eldest lady, and now that the two were so close, her smart eyes immediately became restless, and she glanced at Rong Jingyu from time to time, and said: "Eldest Miss, you are having a family banquet in the 'Huxin Pavilion' tonight, and the old lady asked me to come to you only once, so that you don't miss the time." ”
Rong Jingyu's face was covered in her long hair, and she could only see a vague outline, and according to this outline, she found that the eldest lady's appearance was indescribably exquisite, as if every inch of the line had been carefully measured, and the difference was a thousand miles.
I don't understand, the eldest lady is so good-looking, why should she cover her face, if she says that she was bitten by mosquitoes, it should be fine these days.
"You reply and say that I already know and will pass on time."
"No." Lingzhu really wanted to save more time, she saw that one side of Rong Jingyu's hair had been tied up, and when the other side of the hair was combed up, she would be able to see the true face of the eldest lady.
But under Bu Shao's gaze, the little maid who had just been admitted to the hospital was obviously a little unable to hold on, and slipped out.
The hair was combed up by strands, and Rong Jingyu was about to insert it into her head when she saw that Bu shook it, and stopped: "That's enough." ”
"Miss?" Bu Shao looked at her in bewilderment. Since the young lady returned home, she has not worn jewelry, although it is a family banquet, but she can't just go so plainly.
Rong Jingyu smiled slightly, without explanation.
Youzheng, candles have been lit in Rongfu, the candles on the lotus platform in the lake are slightly shaking, the water waves are staggered, and the warm yellow candlelight is pulled into a colorful reflection.
The sun has not yet set in the west, and the red and blue sunset in the sky is magnificent, reflecting a strange and magnificent picture in the clear water of the lake.
Rong Jingyu didn't come early or late, most of the people were already sitting in their respective seats, and the two people who didn't come, one was Mrs. Rong, and the other was Rong Jingyu's father, Rong Hanmo.
Rong Jingyu swept around and found three unfamiliar faces, two men and one woman, one of which was obviously much smaller than the other, but they were already cold.
The remaining child has a face that is almost seventy percent similar to Rong Jingyu: eyebrows are like ink paintings, eyes are like autumn water, pink faces, like jade, and at a young age, he has begun to show his alluring posture.
This kind of appearance is really amazing, if it weren't for the fact that she already knew the gender, Rong Jingyu would have thought that this was a girl, but many girls didn't have such a good look, and I don't know how many daughters would lose their hearts when her younger brother grew up.
"I've seen my mother." Rong Jingyu first saluted Lanqinxi, and then gave a half-salute to the two concubines.
Looking at Rong Jingyu, Lan Qinxi always felt that something was wrong, but after looking around and not finding it, she gave up and let Rong Jingyu take a seat.
"I've seen my sister (I've seen my eldest sister)." Several children stood up and saluted Rong Jingyu.
Rong Jingyu nodded at them with a smile, and said softly: "Get up, since we are brothers and sisters, these false gifts can be saved in the future." ”
Rong Yun Rong Shao didn't react, Rong Yun seemed to move intentionally, Rong Lanhua pursed her lips and rolled her eyes, "Sister's words are inappropriate." She saw Rong Jingyu staring at her, and hurriedly said: "Sister, Lan Hua didn't say that you were wrong, everyone knew that my sister was well-intentioned, but the book said that 'etiquette cannot be abolished'......"
"Sister." Rong Jingyu interrupted her words, and said with a smile: "My sister knows that you are well-read, but although you are good at reading, you can't limit yourself to dead books, as the so-called 'you can read but not dead books', 'it's better not to read dead books than to read books'." Throughout the ancient and modern times, the great rites are not informal, free from rigidity, and have different shapes, which can be seen that there are no dead rules for etiquette, but it is a natural move, and the emphasis is on the heart rather than its appearance. ”
"'Rites cannot be abolished' is originally '竦 (sǒng) extract (cuì) mounds, rites cannot be abolished', and then people take words out of context, intercept the words, and set countless rules, but they don't know that 'rites' have no rules, natural behavior, and dignified manners are the true essence of 'rites'."
Unconsciously, only Rong Jingyu's clear and pleasant voice was floating in the Huxin Pavilion, Rong Lanhua's face was blue and white for a while, but Rong Yun and Rong Shao's eyes were full of brilliance, and the eyes looking at Rong Jingyu had changed.
Rong Shuihua looked at his sister with admiration, although he didn't understand many of those words, it didn't prevent him from understanding the power.
"Bang Bang!" The sudden applause broke the silence on the table, and everyone looked over and found that Rong Hanmo had arrived at some point, and beside him was Mrs. Rong, who was supported by Mother Liu and Jixiang.
"Well said!" Rong Hanmo looked at Rong Jingyu deeply, and did not hide his appreciation for Fang Cai's words, "'The great one of the courtesy, let it be', it is not easy for you to have such an understanding at a young age, it can be seen that you have a lot of intentions on weekdays." ”
Lian Wanhan smiled softly: "The eldest lady is worthy of being a disciple of Mr. Dongya, I have never heard such wonderful words a few times in my life, and there is no one at the age of the eldest lady, madam, you say yes, right?" She asked about Lan Qinxi, who didn't speak.
Lan Qinxi glanced at Lian Wanhan and said with a smile: "That's right, Lan Hua, you have always been proud on weekdays, but this time you met your sister, but you know that 'there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world', right?" ”
Rong Lanhua's body trembled, knowing her mother's kindness, so even if she was unwilling in her heart, she still said: "Lanhua will definitely learn from my sister in the future." ”
Old Madam Rong watched from the sidelines, and when she saw that it was time, she said loudly: "You guys, you are praising and teaching, the food is going to be cold." She circled between Rong Jingyu and Rong Lanhua, "If you want me to say, whether it is Jingyu, Lanhua or Shui Hua, Yun'er, Shao'er and Yun'er, all of them are not bad, I like them all tightly, and I don't know where you found so many problems?" ”
Old Madam Rong smiled kindly, looking at the children and grandchildren present, suddenly, her eyes froze, and she couldn't help but say 'Huh'.

"Zhu Cui mound, ritual can not be abolished" roughly means: (people) solemnly, respectfully, respectfully gathered in front of the tomb of Confucius (by extension: everyone respectfully worships Confucius), then the ceremony will not be abolished.
In fact, while there are many books on etiquette throughout the ages, nine does not find books that strictly require etiquette ^_^, of course, referring to books from a long time ago.
The etiquette of the ancients was arbitrary, and although there was a set of fixed patterns, it did not mean that they could not be separated from that pattern ^_^
In modern times, modern times and later periods, everyone has various requirements for etiquette, but Jiu has always believed that the beginning of etiquette is a correct attitude, a moral norm, a kind of existence that pleases others and oneself, rather than the rules ^_^ that bind life
Like 'morality', morality is now a variety of indicators, but in the beginning, morality simply meant 'all things in heaven and earth grow in their own way, and so is the Tao; All things grow independently, and heaven and earth do not interfere with them, so it is virtuous. (Roughly speaking, the full word is more comprehensive and longer ^_^)
In other words, respecting the path and choice of others, not accusing, not interfering, not forcibly distorting oneself as righteous and righteous, no matter whether that person is so-called good or so-called bad, this is 'morality', and it is also the only 'morality' ^_^ recognized by Jiu (Jingyu's way, too ^_^)
