Chapter 468: Confession (Supplement to Freeskyii)
Cheng Chi's answer made Mrs. Guo smile and bend her eyes, and when Zhou Shaojin changed her mouth and called her "mother", Mrs. Guo couldn't help it anymore, hugged Zhou Shaojin and praised "good boy" happily, and gently instructed Zhou Shaojin: "Go to the ancestral hall with Shiro quickly, recognize your relatives, and come over to accompany me." ”
Zhou Shaojin didn't dare to raise his head at all.
Mama Lu must be the one who listens to the room.
In her previous life, when she and Lin Shisheng got married, she was perhaps afraid that Lin Shisheng still had the eldest lady of the Mu family in his heart, and Lin Laoan could listen to it personally.
The two slowly walked out of the main room of Tingxiang Courtyard.
Cheng Chi really called a soft sedan chair, carried her to the ancestral hall, and talked to her at the same time: "...... When you came a few days ago, the Tingxiang Temple had not been repaired, and I was going to entertain your friends in the boudoir at ordinary times. When the guests are gone, and your mother moves back to Tsurujudo, you can not only receive female guests here, but also show the mother-in-law who is in charge here...... The ancestral hall is newly renovated, and we are the first couple to go there to worship our ancestors......"
When they are old and go, the tablets will be offered to the ancestral hall by their children and grandchildren, and they will enjoy the incense of their descendants forever.
They are in this house, and they are also in this house, and they are relatively white-headed......
Thinking like this, Cheng Chi suddenly felt that the scenery in front of him was beautiful.
Zhou Shaojin was very uncomfortable.
She sat on the soft sedan chair, but Cheng Chi walked beside her with the soft sedan chair, she looked up at the lake and mountains of the inner house, but when she looked down, she could only see Cheng Chi's black hair and the white jade lotus hairpin with her hair curled.
It was as if he was sitting on Cheng Chi's shoulders.
She was more afraid of being seen.
Because they got married, almost all the relatives and friends of the Cheng family who could come in the past came. If they can't come, they will find a way to come, because most of them are not in the capital, they all live in the east courtyard, and when they go to the ancestral hall, they have to pass through the east courtyard.
This is seen by others, her reputation as a pampered and delicate can't run away, and if she goes deeper, she may even be rumored to be flying and domineering, disrespecting her elders, then she won't want to turn over for the rest of her life.
Even if this is arranged by Mrs. Guo. She can't meet anyone and explain it first, right?
Maybe others think she's using chicken feathers as an arrow. Make matters worse by attempting a coverup.
She bent down and pushed Cheng Chi's shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Fourth master, I, I'd better come down and go!" I'm fine. It's true! ”
Cheng Chi knew she was timid. Knowing she's not used to it. How could he bear to embarrass her?
But let her go to the ancestral hall like this, he was really afraid that she wouldn't be able to hold on.
If you want to blame, you can only blame him for not knowing how to be satisfied.
But he didn't expect it to be so strict.
It's too late to regret it now.
Cheng Chi said in a low voice: "When we get to the entrance of the ancestral hall, we will walk in." ”
It is also a sign of respect for ancestors.
Zhou Shaojin nodded again and again.
Waited until the black threshold at the entrance of the ancestral hall. Cheng Chi helped Zhou Shaojin to scare the sedan chair, knowing that she could only walk in by herself, but she couldn't help but say, "Can you do it?" ”
Zhou Shaojin was so ashamed that he couldn't do it, how dare he say this to him, and nodded indiscriminately.
Cheng Chi smiled and went to the ancestral hall with her.
In the ancestral hall, it was the chief steward of Qin who helped to offer sacrifices.
He looked at Cheng Chi and Zhou Shaojin with satisfaction, handed them incense candles respectively, and led them to kowtow in front of the ancestral tablet.
The ancestral hall is still wafting with the smell of tung lacquer, and the tablet is also newly made, lacking the heritage of a century-old family and the calm and introverted baptism of the years.
Manager Qin sighed with emotion and couldn't help but say to Cheng Chi earnestly: "New starts." You have to spread the branches, work hard, and support the Cheng family with your brothers. ”
Cheng Chi respectfully replied "yes".
Zhou Shaojin knew that he was not an ordinary servant, but the benefactor of the Cheng family, the senior brother of Cheng Chi, without the Qin family, there might not be the current Cheng family.
She hurriedly followed and saluted respectfully.
Manager Qin's eyes showed a relieved smile.
On the way back, Zhou Shaojin insisted on going by himself.
Cheng Chi didn't force her.
The two of them slowly walked towards the main hall.
Fortunately, the main hall was not far from the ancestral hall, and when Zhou Shaojin encouraged himself not to stop for the third time, the main hall arrived.
The blue brick foundation, the pink and white walls, the gray back, and the flat forehead of black and white gold paint are inscribed with the words "Panzongtang".
These three words were inscribed by Cheng Jing himself.
It is a typical pavilion body.
But the words are as big as a bucket, mellow and plump, neutral and peaceful, and quite imposing.
This is the name of the hall of the long house today.
Taken from "Historical Records? Emperor Xiaowen Ji", a metaphor for the prosperity of the descendants and the family as solid as a rock.
Zhou Shaojin thought of Chief Qin's advice just now, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart, fortunately he went back to the room with the fourth master, otherwise how disappointed these elders who had placed infinite hopes on Cheng Chi would be!
"It's coming, it's coming. The bridegroom and bride are here! Some of the women and servants shouted happily, and their voices were full of joy.
Zhou Shaojin's mood couldn't help but rejoice.
She smiled and followed Cheng Chi into the main hall.
The crows in the house were all people. To the east are the old men and young masters, and to the west are the wives and grandmothers. In the middle is a pair of empty Taishi chairs, one left and one right, standing against men and women.
The female Zhou Shaojin will not admit her mistake from afar, it is the Yuan family.
She was wearing a red and gold-covered jacket, wearing a third-grade lady hairpin, and looked at Cheng Chi and Zhou Shaojin with a smile in her eyes.
The man wore a brocade robe with royal blue auspicious clouds and flowers, and he looked five or six points similar to Cheng Chi, with an elegant temperament and a gentle expression, but there was no majesty between his eyebrows, and Cheng Jing in Zhou Shaojin's memory slowly blended together.
When he saw them come in, he smiled at them with relief.
You politely smiled and said, "The newcomer salutes the old lady and the old lady...... Give tea to my eldest brother and sister-in-law again! ”
Cheng Chi and Zhou Shaojin knelt on the brocade group prepared in advance and saluted the Taishi chair draped in red satin embroidered chairs, and then gave tea to Cheng Jing and Yuan.
Cheng Jing and Yuan took a symbolic sip of the teacup and gave a greeting gift.
Zhou Shaojin sent shoes and socks back.
Mama Shang and Biyu were on the side to help them. One is responsible for sending shoes and socks, the other is responsible for collecting the meeting gifts, and silently remembering who sent those meeting gifts, and will return to the new house to make accounts, and then have contact with these people in the future, which is the basis for their gifts.
Fortunately, Cheng Chi's seniority is high, and there are not many people who can accept their gifts. Cheng Shao is even more amiable, looking at Zhou Shaojin's eyes full of love. As for those juniors and juniors, Zhou Shaojin only needs to stand there and bend his knees or bow his head with a smile.
As Cheng Ji said, Cheng Xiao's husband Yuan Ming likes to be funny. When someone else is engaged, add at most a congratulatory word. He joked with a smile: "Uncle Chi." Uncle Chi, how can you make me embarrassed - my aunt is too young, won't I have to take care of the aunt and uncle in the cradle when I bring my daughter back to the door? ”
Yuan Beiyun stepped forward and slapped him on the back of the head and said, "Where is your daughter?" There is no seriousness in talking nonsense all day long. ”
Yuan Ming is long and jade. Sword eyebrows and starry eyes. Very handsome.
At this time, he looked like he was holding his head and scurrying around, which was very inconsistent with his appearance. caused a burst of laughter in the main hall.
However, Gu Xu, looking at the appearance of a deputy young man, respectfully stepped forward to salute Zhou Shaojin and shouted "Fourth Aunt".
Being beaten by someone so much bigger than yourself. And the person who looked like a dangerous gentleman shouted "Auntie", Zhou Shaojin felt that he was under a lot of pressure.
In contrast, Cheng Sheng's husband Peng Zao is a shy young man.
When he saluted Zhou Shaojin, Zhou Shaojin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
As for Yuan Beiyun and Gu Jiu, Cheng Chi's friends felt much more serious, although everyone had a bit of a playful smile in their eyes, they were all aimed at Cheng Chi, and they were very respectful when it was her turn.
When I saw the adults who had started a family, it was the turn of the children.
The first is Cheng Xu, the eldest son and grandson of the Cheng family.
Compared with the cheerful sunshine before, Cheng Xu has become quiet and silent now.
He was expressionless, lowered his eyelids and stepped forward to salute Cheng Chi and Zhou Shaojin, and then stepped aside after Cheng Chi handed over the red shoes and socks, neither looking at Cheng Chi and Zhou Shaojin, nor saying a word.
Zhou Shaojin had no intention of dealing with him, thinking that it would be better.
When he retreated, she had a bright smile on her face again, accepted the courtesy of the little prince of the Guo family and others, and then went to the west with Cheng Chi to salute the wives and grandmothers.
She didn't know how helpless and painful the gaze that fell on her when Cheng Xu raised her head.
Today's good day for Ti Cheng Chi and Zhou Shaojin, who will pay attention to a junior hiding in the corner?
Naturally, no one in the main hall noticed his abnormality.
confessed, Cheng Chi was left in the main hall, and Zhou Shaojin was taken to Tingxiang Courtyard.
Biyu was very anxious, and said, "Fourth wife, I'll go back to the house first-I've received a lot of greeting gifts today, I'm afraid I'll be confused later." ”
Although there are not many elders in the Cheng family, there are many relatives who help old friends.
Zhou Shaojin hurriedly said: "Then go back quickly!" I don't need you to serve me anymore. I know all the people who serve around my mother, and I can follow my grandmother. ”
Biyu nodded, and returned to the new house with two maids holding Zhou Shaojin's meeting gift.
Mama Shang stepped forward to hug Zhou Shaojin, and said with a smile on her face: "The fourth wife has been busy all morning, she is very tired, I will help you!" ”
Her support is different from others.
Almost carrying her along.
Zhou Shaojin glanced at her gratefully.
When I arrived at Mrs. Guo's house, there were only two or three old ladies. In addition to Guo Lao'an, there is also the widowed mother of Wu Xiuzao, the head of the Hanlin Academy, the mother of the imperial envoy of the Zuodu of the Metropolitan Inspection Academy, and the mother of the second wife, Hong's mother's family.
Zhou Shaojin then remembered that Hong's brother Hong Xiu was the squire of the military department and the governor of Liangguang, the two Jinshi of the Jiaxu Branch in the twelfth year of Yongchang, and the same department of Cheng Shao, the old lady of the Changfang.
This kinship...... It's complicated!
Zhou Shaojin only sweated.
Fortunately, although the relationship is complicated, the person is not complicated.
Several old ladies accepted her tea and gave her a meeting gift, and Zhou Shaojin was led by Mama Lu to the blue yarn cabinet in Mrs. Guo's inner room.
"The old lady said," Mama Lu smiled a little more enthusiastically than usual, "The fourth lady just entered the door, but I was afraid that she didn't sleep well, so she specially called you over, just to let you rest in her old man's house." ”
