The eldest prince didn't understand the truth until a few days later, no wonder the Wing King was able to have no fear, it turned out that he had already seen through the tricks. Whether what the Wing King did was his father's favor or his own thoughts, he preferred to believe the former rather than believe that a little girl who was only fourteen years old could do such a thing.

During these days, he was focused on the Ministry of Industry, and he almost put aside the matter of selecting people, which made Mu Haoyu feel strange, what attracted the attention of his little daughter, and he specially called his little daughter to inquire.

"Wasn't it in a hurry?" Mu Haoyu raised his eyebrows in confusion.

"I have a choice." I don't understand why my father is asking this.

"Who to choose?" Mu Haoyu remembered that he had seen the list of forbidden troops selected by his youngest daughter not long ago, why did he choose someone again?

"Artisan." There is no concealment. "The Twelve Star Crossbow needs to be improved, the range is always not far, the close range is okay, and the long-range attack is almost enough.

"You don't want to pick a few good crafts to keep for yourself." Mu Haoyu didn't understand why her little daughter was so interested in miscellaneous things, but she didn't know anything about piano and painting? Sometimes he has to suspect that his little daughter is pretending, in order not to worry about himself, and the sentence of wisdom must be hurt has been buried in his heart and is still indelible.

"yes, isn't it good to have a special weapon?" Thinking that there is a specialization in the art industry, the craftsmen in the Ministry of Engineering are too messy and messy, and it is a waste of time to do everything, she wants to divide the craftsmen into several parts, at least the people who develop weapons are proud to come out.

"You, I don't know what to say about you," Mu Haoyu pinched the tip of his little daughter's nose dotingly, and his tone was full of relief.

"Who are you going to hand it over?" You can't drag it out, you have to do it immediately, Mu Haoyu wants to give her little daughter more protection.

"Don't worry, I've thought about it, the candidates will go according to the list, and the rest of Hongming will be in charge of training first, and I will go to the acceptance when the matter of my engineering department is over." Those who are qualified stay, and the number of people is not enough to be selected when the time comes, as for the family concubines of the father's first premise. After a pause, he said, "It's not appropriate to be selected into the guards now, and I'll see myself making a decision." ”

"It's fine. Take your rest. Mu Haoyu hugged his little daughter and felt a little thinner, and felt distressed.

"Hongming is gone, how can you do it if there is no one around you." Hongming has been taking care of his little daughter so far, and Mu Haoyu is not worried about leaving his little daughter alone.

"I've brought the red stamen back." It's already planned, "Wait for Hongrui to come back and Hongming before leaving." ”

"It's fine." Mu Haoyu was relieved.

"It's time for the Cold Food Festival." On the day of worshipping his ancestors, Mu Haoyu felt sour when he thought of his deceased beloved wife Lin Wanqiu.

"The three of us went to see my mother together." He opened his arms and hugged the man in front of him with a painful look, and comforted him wordlessly.

"Okay." Mu Haoyu's deep voice sounded, and a faint sadness crossed it.

The Cold Food Festival is two days before the Qingming Festival on April 5, and the Cold Food Festival has a long history. Send condolences with cold food, so the court will rest and bathe, and take three days off to spend the Qingming Festival together.

On the day of the cold food festival, it is necessary to worship the tomb, prohibit smoking, worship ancestors, cold food, willow planting, walking, flower appreciation, feasting, etc., in addition to worshiping ancestors. This day is also an important day for Miss Boudoir to be able to step out of the house to play.

It is a big event to sacrifice and sweep, whether it is the royal family or the people, there is awe and remembrance of the ancestors, and they must wear plain clothes on this day to go up the mountain to worship and sweep.

The royal sacrifice is more solemn than that of the common people, and there are also many rules in the family, and they must get up before dawn and dress neatly, and go to the ancestral hall of the family with the elders to worship.

Prime Minister's Office. Ouyang Ye was worried on the first day of the Cold Food Festival, why, the problem came from his body, his nominal daughter was not in the mansion during the Cold Food Festival every year, and there were only two of them who sacrificed to the ancestors, and the female dependents could not enter the ancestral hall. can only wait outside the door, and now Ouyang is in the house according to the rites should worship with his father and brother, the problem is here, the ancestral hall of the Ouyang family is dedicated to the ancestors of the Ouyang family, although Ouyang's surname is Ouyang. In essence, he is not a member of the Ouyang family, and he can't worship if he doesn't follow the rules, it doesn't matter, let a princess with royal blood worship the ancestors of the Ouyang family, Rao is Ouyang Ye is thick-skinned enough to open this mouth.

Ouyang Ye is now afraid that the Wing King will not go to worship, in the eyes of outsiders, as his own concubine, but on the day of the Cold Food Festival, this is how disrespectful, not filial piety to be the son of man, not only the previous rumors that he and his concubine are not compatible, but even more will affect the Prime Minister's Mansion, this is not only ruined reputation, the big hat is buttoned up and I also want to be an official in the court, don't dream, as long as the imperial historian has a mouth, it is an endless bureau.

You can't blame Ouyang Ye for thinking too much, the key is that he, the titular daughter, is not controlled by himself at all, and it is useless to say a lot of good things, do you think he can frown without being in a hurry.

Cheng Dù, who is difficult to convince the Wing King, is comparable to ascending to the sky, Ouyang Ye has made more than a dozen drafts, but he doesn't dare to set foot in Pinglan Yuan, it's not that he is timid, once the Wing King starts a fire, he will think about the cold food festival tomorrow.

Ouyang Ye had already learned the stubbornness of the Wing King more than once, and it could be said that the stubbornness was the most appropriate, and for the sake of tomorrow's sacrifice, he was about to get angry, and he was hesitant to see it.

Ouyang Ye paced back and forth on the ground, and after thinking about it, he decided to go to Pinglan Garden, and the result was not within his consideration, at least he would save the face of the Prime Minister's Mansion tomorrow.

With the drawings of the new weapons drawn by the seven craftsmen selected by the Ministry of Engineering in the Orchid Garden, who were studying for months, the moment they saw the drawings, they felt a little familiar.

"Master, the Prime Minister is here." Hong Ming opened the curtain and entered the house, put down the soup cup in his hand and said, "Probably for tomorrow's Cold Food Festival." ”

I don't leave the drawings, I don't react to Hongming's words, my whole mind is on the drawings, it's a bit like, but it's not exactly like it, well, like a gun, but it's not as delicate as the gun I've seen in my head, it should be a kind of thing, and sure enough, people's wisdom is endless.

Hongming didn't see the master's response, so he didn't dare to invite the prime minister into the house, so he stood aside and waited.

"What?" Come back to your senses and ask Hongming.

"The Prime Minister is here." Hong Ming repeated it again, and the master just said nothing.

"Please." Put away the drawings on the table, these are confidential, the samples are not yet completed, and they cannot be known to more people.

Ouyang Ye waited outside for a while before being let in, not caring if the Wing King was holding the prince's shelf, in his opinion, this was not the point, it was not worth caring about.

"What?" Sitting in a chair and not getting up to greet him, I don't think it's a faux pas.

Ouyang Ye didn't care about the attitude of the Wing King at all. In retrospect, this was the first time the two of them met at home, and the girl in front of him had changed so fast that he was almost unrecognizable.

"Worship your ancestors tomorrow." Ouyang Ye went straight to the point.

"My mother's tablet is in the ancestral hall." Simply and clearly state her meaning, she will go to worship her ancestors. Just for his mother Lin Wanqiu.

"That's good." After getting the words of the Wing King, Ouyang Ye breathed a sigh of relief and sighed a little at the same time, thanks to Lin Wanqiu's tablet, otherwise I don't know what will happen.

"Remember the hour." Ouyang Ye specially reminded before leaving that it was also not good to miss the auspicious time.

"Master, the slaves and maids for tomorrow's worship are ready." Hongming took the things and asked Yiyi to put them away after reading them, these were all prepared by Mrs. Bai.

"The master rests early, and he will get up early tomorrow, earlier than the time of the previous dynasty." Hongming laid out the quilt.

Early in the morning of the second day, wearing a light cyan pigment suit, he brought Hongming to meet Ouyang Ye. Let's go to the ancestral hall together.

When he arrived outside the ancestral hall, Ouyang Ye glanced at the Wing King and said, "The maid can't enter. "Now make it clear that you don't break the rules when you want to go in.

took the basket in Hong Ming's hand and followed Ouyang Ye in.

The ancestral hall is cleaned up by the people who are responsible for cleaning, and the tablets of the ancestors are placed on the table, and the melon and fruit incense burners should be complete.

Walked to the tablet dedicated to Lin Wanqiu, took out the cold food in the basket in his hand and placed it on the table. took three sticks of incense and lit it and bowed down, did not bow down according to the etiquette, in her memory, Lin Wanqiu's face was very blurred, as for the family relationship between mother and daughter, she never felt that in her heart her mother was a tablet, nothing, her father's position in her heart was more important than that of her deceased mother. It's okay to say she's cold. Ruthless or not, she has no attachment to this mother.

Ouyang Lin has been quietly paying attention to this half-sister, seeing that she went to worship her mother before she worshiped her ancestors with her father, she was shocked and displeased at the same time, why didn't she know the rules at all, how could she abandon her ancestors. I still worship my mother with my own thoughts.

Ouyang Lin, who just wanted to open his mouth to reprimand his sister-in-law, did not forget what kind of place this is, and swallowed the words when they came to his mouth, and he must warn him after worshipping, how can the dignified lady not even understand the basic truth.

After finishing the incense, Ouyang Ye and his son were waiting on the side, and they always had to go out together when they came in together. I have to do the whole thing, and I look at the bare tablet in front of me and my thoughts drift away.

"Daddy." Ouyang Lin motioned to his father to look at the side, "Doesn't the little sister worship?" "If you have worshiped your mother, you shouldn't worship your ancestors and stand there stunned.

"Leave her alone." Ouyang Ye was reluctant to explain the reason in front of the Wing King, and motioned to Ouyang Lin to go back and talk about it.

Ouyang Lin closed his mouth knowingly, the doubts in his heart rolled like waves, and he couldn't calm down. He felt that his sister-in-law's actions were simply unwilling to look at him, and asked him that a disrespectful crime was light.

After worshipping, he went back to Pinglan Yuan directly, Ouyang Lin followed Ouyang Ye into the study, this time he wanted to ask what secrets his sister had, and he didn't even care about the Cold Food Festival.

"Dad, my little sister's approach is too presumptuous!" Ouyang Lin couldn't bear it and said: "Why do you want to keep accommodating your sister-in-law, what is the reason why such a big thing as worshipping ancestors must follow her wishes?" ”

"It's a fact that she's not close to her father." Ouyang Ye can only find this excuse to prevaricate his son, "She has been estranged from her family since she was a child, she is a girl who has been alone in her family for eleven years, and she suddenly returned to the house with a lot of discomfort, and it has not changed until now, you have to measure her mood." ”

"Then she should also pretend to be like something, so that outsiders can see what she is like!" Ouyang Lin still can't understand his father's indulgence, today is such an important festival to worship ancestors, how can he come according to his temperament, it's too unusual.

"Didn't you see her bow down to her mother?" Ouyang Ye saw it unintentionally, in his cognition, the Wing King should have a feeling of admiration and sorrow for his mother Lin Wanqiu, and it was indeed a different scene in his eyes, and the shock was not enough to express his mood at that time.

"See." If it weren't for this, he would definitely stop his sister-in-law and teach him a good lesson, even filial piety is not exhaustive for children, how can there be such a thing, it is still light to say that he is not educated, Ouyang Lin is not happy.

"She's not good at words, let alone expressive, and you always want everyone to know about it." Ouyang Ye had to warn his son that the matter should be kept in his heart, and he put it on his face so that people saw a joke.

"Daddy taught me a lesson." Ouyang Lin realized that he was out of shape, and took a deep breath to adjust his mentality.

"If it's okay, let's go back first." Ouyang Ye was a little tired and wanted to be quiet and quiet by himself.

Ouyang Lin also wanted to ask, he always felt that his father had unfinished words, but after seeing his father's tired face, he rested in his heart, and he thought that there would always be time to ask Ming in the future.

Back to Pinglan Garden, sit on a chair, look at the greenery outside the window and be alone.

"Master." Hongming called lightly.

"Huh?" Retracting his gaze, he turned to Hongming for questioning.

"What is the master thinking?" Hongming asked casually, not expecting to be able to answer.

"Lin Wanqiu, my mother." As if she didn't feel the thought of her mother, her heart was now very calm, no different from before.

"Ma'am?" Hong Ming said: "Does the master miss his wife?" "After all, the little biological mother is gone.

"Nope." Shaking his head, his faint voice was very calm, "I can't remember what she looks like, it's like a person who doesn't have zài, and she doesn't miss the slightest bit in her heart." ”

"Master!" Hongming was so shocked that he covered his mouth, what's wrong?

"Except for my father and brother, the lack of maternal love in my life is all done by my father, and I don't think my mother will be better alive than now." It's all from the heart.

"If the master forgets his wife, the emperor will be worried." Hong Ming carefully reminded that if the emperor heard this kind of words of the master, it would be very sad, after all, the lady is the emperor's favorite person, and his favorite little daughter actually forgot her own biological mother, how should the emperor face it.

"Lin Wanqiu's beauty stays before it passes, and the living will always recall those good things." Now my feelings are very complicated, "If my mother is alive, I will not be sent to the palace, I will definitely grow up in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and I will not have the freedom I have now." ”

As soon as I thought of being taught to be a lady, I subconsciously frowned, "My life will also change, as a girl, I can't escape from being a girl who has three virtues and four virtues, getting married and having children." ”

"The emperor won't allow it." Hongming didn't think that the emperor would raise his master as a princess.

"With Lin Wanqiu here, my father and mother may agree." The women of this era are bound by etiquette, their concepts have been deeply carved into the bone marrow, and they will not have the slightest idea of sticking to the bottom line, and they are not willing to be the most humble and selfless women of this era, she wants to live unrestrained and ignore the strange eyes of others.

"Master." Hong Ming didn't understand what was wrong with his master, and tried his best to think about something that was frightening.

"No wonder I don't miss my mother in the slightest." Although it was the person who gave birth to himself, he didn't feel that he was at fault.

"Master, think of something else." Hong Ming really couldn't listen to what she said just now, she could understand the master's feelings, and only the woman knew the woman's sorrow.

"Forget it, if you feel it today, it will be fine in a while." didn't want to scare Hong Ming, so he stopped, "You go out, I'll be alone and quiet." ”

"Yes." Hong Ming bowed down and patted his chest in fear, the master is weird today.
