Chapter 348: Destination (First Shift, Asking for a Monthly Pass)
"I, I, I...... I'm drunk?! Yingsleeve glared at Xie Donglian, not believing it at all, "If I'm really drunk, why is your middle coat still fine, but your back is scratched?" β
Xie Dongli stood beside the bed, put on his robe elegantly and calmly, tied the white jade belt, turned around, and did not look at Yingsleeve's angry face, the corners of his lips curled slightly, and said, "...... You made me take off my midcoat and scratch it. Madame speaks, do I dare not listen? Naturally, I will do whatever you tell me to do. β
"Nonsense!" Ying Sleeve also knew that Xie Dongli was teasing her at this time, so she picked up the pillow and threw it over, "I've never seen you like this, it's really cheap and good!" β
Xie Dongli glanced back at her, saw that she was full of anger, his heart softened, and he didn't tease her anymore, and said, "Okay, even if I did it, okay?" Hurry up, I want to recognize my relatives today, give tea to my brother and sister-in-law, and go to the ancestral hall to see you at the temple. β
According to the ancient rites, the temple ceremony is held after the bride marries into the husband's family for three months, and the bride follows the husband to the husband's ancestral hall to pay tribute to the ancestors, so that it can be regarded as officially becoming the husband's family, and after the death, the tablet can be placed in the ancestral hall of the husband's family temple to enjoy the incense.
In the mainland of Zhongzhou, recognizing relatives and seeing in the temple is a gift for becoming a woman.
If the bride dies without seeing the temple, it can be collected by the man's family, but it needs to be buried in the woman's ancestral grave, which is called "unmarried woman", not counting the husband's family, and the tablet naturally cannot enter the man's ancestral hall.
Later, everyone felt that three months was too long, and during the Great Xia Dynasty, it was changed to three days after getting married. By the time of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the royal marriage was still according to the ancient rites, and the temple would be seen after March. However, the common people get married, worship their in-laws and recognize their relatives and meet in the temple are held on the next day of the wedding.
Also, if it is a concubine marrying a daughter-in-law. There is no need to see the temple to show the difference.
Xie Dongli's father and mother died more than ten years ago, and there is no need to worship his in-laws, but the brother and sister-in-law who raised him still have to worship.
Ying Sleeve knew that she had recognized her relatives, and after seeing her in the temple, she officially became the Xie family and could be named with the surname Xie.
She hurriedly lifted the quilt and got up. While asking, "What time is it?" She glanced in the direction of the window, and saw a white light on the other side of the window, as if it were a bright day.
Xie Dongli smiled. said: "The snow is still falling outside, my brother and sister-in-law said let's not worry, just go to lunch together at noon." After lunch, go to the ancestral hall. β
Yingsleeve was a little embarrassed. "Then how can it be done?" I went there at noon on the first day. It's not good. So saying, she raised her voice and called for someone to come in and serve.
The eldest lady of the Xie family and the mother-in-law sent by the second lady had been waiting outside for a while, and when they heard Yingsleeve calling someone to come in to serve, they hurriedly said, "Say hello to the fifth master and the fifth lady!" β
Yingsleeve was stunned for a moment, and looked at Xie Dongli: "...... Didn't you say noon? β
Why did someone come to say hello so early?
Whoever speaks like this, when he hears it, knows that it is not from their room.
"It's the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law." Xie Dongli smiled at her and said to the door, "Come in." β
The two mothers-in-law knocked on the door, then pushed it in. Curtsied to Yingsleeve and Xie Dongli, and said the words of congratulations again. Finally, he said: "Fifth master, the eldest lady and the second lady instructed the slave maid to come over and collect the red scarf, and said that it would be presented to the old lady." β
The red test is also the most important ceremony in addition to recognizing relatives and meeting in the temple.
Yingsleeve glanced at Xie Dongli with a blushing face, not knowing what to do.
Her first time was given to Xie Dongli more than 20 days ago, how could she be popular yesterday?
Besides, the two of them were in the bathtub yesterday, even if it was her first time yesterday, Luohong would have already dissolved into the hot water in the bathtub......
Xie Dongli quietly walked to the head of the bed of the rosewood Qiangong stepping bed, opened a small drawer, took out a mahogany brocade box, handed it to the mother-in-law on the left, and said with a smile: "Let the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law wait for a long time." β
The woman took it with both hands, and smiled, "The fifth master is polite!" The slave and maid will retire first, and the fifth master and the fifth lady will come to our eldest lady's courtyard after packing up. β
Xie Dongli nodded and watched them leave.
When they walked out of the courtyard, Yingsleeve asked Xie Dongli in a low voice: "...... Where did you get that thing? β
"I cut it out of the sheets on my bed when you were here more than twenty days ago." Xie Dongli stroked his chin solemnly and said in a deep voice, "It's been a long time, it should be fine." β
Ying Sleeve picked up his small fist, slammed him on the shoulder, and said angrily: "Still fooling me!" ββThe red more than 20 days ago, I don't know what it has become today! Are you stupid to be the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law?! β
Xie Dongli held her fist, pressed it on his chest, leaned down, and smiled in her ear: "...... We finally waited until the sky was beautiful before we could make love, you still don't cherish it, you want to beat me at this time. Why don't you wait for the weather to be fine before you do it, I'll lie down and scratch ......"
"Go! What's in that box? Ying Sleeve spat him, "Don't say it again, I'm annoyed!" β
Xie Dongli let go of her hand and showed her the finger he had cut yesterday, "Oh, this is the ......"
Ying Sleeve understood, bit his lip, and climbed his fingers over to look, "...... It turns out that you have been prepared. β
Xie Dongli glanced at her, "Am I the kind of big-tailed wolf who doesn't care about his tail?" β
Yingsleeve: "......"
Cut! Even if you're not, don't look at others with that kind of "you are" gaze!
Cai Sang heard that the two people in the house seemed to be arguing, and hurriedly shouted outside the door: "Madam, the hot water has been brought, where is the breakfast?" β
Yingsleeve came back to his senses, glanced at Xie Dongli, turned around and walked to the bath, and said, "Breakfast is in the warm pavilion, and the hot water will be carried to the bath room for me." It's sticky and wants to wash it well. β
Xie Dongli couldn't help but follow her to the bath room, and said with a smile: "I'm not feeling well, and I want to wash it well." β
"You'll wash it when I'm done." Yingsleeve blocked him out of the bath room, and called out a few more times, "Mulberry picking!" "Mulberry picking"!
Cai Sang cleverly opened the curtain and walked in.
Xie Dongli had no choice but to leave in front of the bathroom and walk towards the door.
The two spent the morning in the new house. After eating and drinking, I went to the main hall to confess my relatives.
The eldest and second family members of their house were already waiting there, and the relatives of the two uncles were there.
Yingsleeve wears knee-high suede fur boots with fever inside and out, and is draped in sable coats. Still holding the stove in her hand, Xie Dongli held an umbrella for her to block the snow, and no snowflakes fell on her.
The two of them went up to the main hall with a long list of maids.
As soon as the curtain was lifted, a stream of heat came from inside.
Xie Donglian's second uncle Xie Qi, third uncle Xie Shuang, as well as Xie Dongli's eldest brother, sister-in-law, second brother and second sister-in-law, came with all their children. Even Xie Donglian's niece, who had already married, came and brought the children they had born.
Ying Sleeve knelt down and first gave tea to Xie Dongli's father's tablet. Then after giving tea to Xie Dongli's second uncle, second aunt, third uncle, third aunt, as well as his eldest brother, sister-in-law, second brother and second sister-in-law, he was surrounded by a group of peers and juniors of the Xie family.
When Xie Dongli's eldest niece, Xie Tonghui's one-year-old son, staggered over, hugged her sleeved legs and called her "fifth aunt". Yingsleeve is a little crying without tears.
She's only fifteen!
This one is married. The seniority will be promoted to the ancestral generation =_=.
Xie Dongli touched his nose, bent down and picked up the child and lifted it into the air, the child giggled, his eyes narrowed so much that he could barely see on his white fat little face.
Ying Sleeve suddenly felt that this child was too cute, and hurriedly said: "Give me a hug!" Give me a hug! β
Xie Dongli handed the child to her and said, "He's quite heavy, you should be careful." β
"It's fine. I can hold it. Yingsleeve smiled and held the child in the crook of his arm, teasing his chubby little face. Then he took out a piece of fine mutton fat jade pendant and hung it on his wrist.
The boy immediately bit with his mouth.
Xie Tonghui hurriedly untied the jade pendant from his wrist, and said to Yingsleeve: "Fifth aunt, he is teething, so if he sees something, he has to bite, fifth aunt forgive me." β
Yingsleeve smiled and touched the child's head, handed him into Xie Tonghui's hands, and said, "It's okay, it's okay, this kid is so cute." β
Xie Tonghui is the eldest daughter of Ning Shumei, the second wife of the Xie family, Ning Shumei also likes this grandson very much, and said to Ying Sleeve when she heard the words: "Fifth brother and sister, you like children so much, let's give birth to one yourself, look, how interesting!" β
Yingsleeve nodded again and again, "Cheng Second Sister-in-law Jiyan, I hope to open up branches for the Xie family." β
Lu Ruilan, the eldest lady of the Xie family, saw that she was not twisted at all, and was even more happy with her, and pulled her to the back room to sit on the bed of the arhat and talk, and told her everything in Xie Dongli's house.
Ying Sleeves wrote it down, and after lunch, he followed the Xie family to open the ancestral hall and temple.
It was still snowing heavily today, and there was a foot of snow inside and outside the Xie family, but fortunately, there was a verandah, and someone had specially cleaned it in the morning, so it was still very easy for them to go all the way to the ancestral hall.
When she arrived at the ancestral hall, Yingshou followed Xie Dongli and the second and third uncles of the Xie family, and Xie Dongli's eldest brother and second brother into the house, knelt down to worship the ancestors inside, burned incense and horse paper offerings, recited blessings and prayers, and finally wrote her name next to Xie Dongli.
"Xie Men Yuan's Yingsleeve is the eldest daughter of Yuan's Jianren, and Xie Fu's fifth son, Dongli's original wife."
In just one sentence, it is the destination of her life.
It is also the destination of her two lives.
Ying Sleeve looked at the genealogy, and saw that their branch was passed down from Xie Fu, Xie Fu's generation had four brothers and sisters, the eldest Xie Fu, the second Xie Qi, was a concubine, the third Xie Shuang, and an aunt Xie Chang, married to the Xingzhou Zhao family, but two years ago, Xingzhou landslide, the whole family was buried in it.
Someone pretended to be the husband and daughter of Xie Chang, the aunt of the Xie family, and came to the Xie family to deceive, and was later exposed by Xie Dongli.
Ying Sleeve knew a little about this matter, and the second and third uncles of the Xie family did not add to Xie Dongli and their third brothers at that time......
Ying Sleeve looked at Xie Chang's name, and then looked at Xie Dongli's second and third uncles, and the two of them were very uncomfortable with their bright eyes, coughed twice, and said, "Okay, since the temple is over, we will leave." This time it snowed heavily, and our Zhuangzi outside the city was affected, and we had to go out of the city to have a look. β
Xie Dongli's eldest brother Xie Dongyi and second brother Xie Dongming bowed down together to send them out.
Xie Dongli only nodded.
Of course, the second and third uncles of the Xie family didn't dare to compete with Xie Donglian, so they said a few words that were not salty or light, and left.
After they left, Xie Dongli said to Xie Dongyi and Xie Dongming: "Big brother and second brother, these two should have not let them come to the door a long time ago, so why bother with them?" β
Xie Dongyi and Xie Dongming glanced at each other and said to him: "Fifth brother, in the end, it is your elder, if you don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, you should also respect them." β
Xie Dongming also said: "If my father and mother were alive, I wouldn't want to see you make such a fuss with them." β
Xie Dongli looked at them speechlessly for a while, and said, "Do the eldest brother and second brother think that I am the kind of person who does not know the importance and does not abide by etiquette?" β
Ying Sleeve hugged the Xie family's genealogy behind his back and looked at it carefully, and snorted softly in his heart when he heard the words, and secretly said You are originally ......
She was just slandering, but Xie Dongli seemed to hear what she was thinking, and suddenly looked back at her, her narrow eyes were dark and deep, like the starry sky in a quiet night, vast and deep, full of deterrence.
Yingsleeve smiled and nodded again and again: "...... Husband is right! Even if you are an elder, you can't blindly tolerate partiality, that's not filial piety, but putting your elders in injustice! β
Xie Dongli curled the corners of his mouth, nodded slightly, and looked back, the eldest brother and the second brother were looking at him with their mouths wide open.
Xie Dongli had no choice but to cough and said solemnly: "That's what I mean, I said it very clearly."
Xie Dongyi and Xie Dongming said "oh", and said: "This year, let's celebrate the New Year together, and I'll talk about other things next year." β
Xie Dongli knew that this was about the separation of the family, so he sighed softly in his heart and said, "Big brother, second brother, you listen to me, it is not appropriate to act rashly at present." It's better to wait a little longer, wait four years, and then make a decision. β
Xie Dongyi and Xie Dongming glanced at each other, nodded and said, "You haven't spoken before." Now that you have said it, when you are free, our brothers will discuss and discuss. β
This means, of course, to wait for Xie Dongli to get married before speaking.
Either way, it will take a month for the freshness to fade.
Seeing that they had finished speaking, Yingsleeve was about to leave the ancestral hall and hurriedly closed the genealogy and presented it to Xie Dongyi.
Xie Dongyi didn't answer, and said to Xie Dongliang: "This genealogy, you can keep it in the future." β
Xie Dongli didn't shirk either, reached out and took it, and locked it in the dark compartment of the ancestral hall.
Yingsleeve was a little surprised.
Xie Dongli is ranked fifth, he is not the eldest of the family, and he is not the patriarch of the Xie family at present, how can he give him the family tree for safekeeping?
When she looked at the Xie family tree just now, she felt something interesting.
Xie Dongli's mother-in-law, Liu, is not from a prominent family like the three marquis and five prime ministers, not even a second-rate or third-rate family.
Yingsleeve's previous identity, even if he was an imperial businessman, he was also one of the top imperial merchants in the Eastern Yuan Kingdom.
In short, if you can marry someone like the three marquis and five prime ministers to be the main room, there is always one to occupy the wealth and power.
And this Liu family, looking at the records on the genealogy, her mother's family is unknown, with neither wealth nor power, but she is the only wife in her life, Xie Fu, the most capable prime minister of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom......
Because a woman who can go to the family tree needs to write the situation of her mother's family clearly, and even the names of the ancestors of her mother's family going back five generations must be recorded.
