Yang's meaning, Xiao Shiji understands very well.

Since he wants to use the power of the Yang family to balance his mother, he must completely let go, and he must completely believe in the Yang family.

The so-called "don't use suspicious people, don't use suspicious people".

"Grandmother is too worried. You are the ancestor of our Xiao family. When Ming'er worships the ancestors, you need to personally hold it and put it on the ancestors' offering table, and Shuang'er can only give you a hand. Xiao Shiji smiled and assigned what the Yang clan would do tomorrow.

Du Hengshuang was also busy: "Just now I have sent you some clothes and jewelry, as well as shoes and socks and mattresses, you can make do with them first, and when we go back to Chang'an, I will ask the needlework to make a new one for you." ”

Yang smiled and said, "Don't be too troublesome. I have seen the ones you sent, although they are cloth, they are all made of fine Tianzhu cotton, which is more expensive than those fine satin furs. I can't afford that. ”

"What did the great-grandmother say? Even if you are a festival, but in the end it is the ancestor of our Xiao family, as long as you don't break the rules, we will try our best to help you do it. Du Hengshuang said sincerely. Finally, her mother-in-law, Long Xiangye, has someone who can manage her, and this Yang family seems to be a knowledgeable person who knows how to advance and retreat. Du Hengshuang couldn't wait to kowtow to her to thank her.

The Yang family was a little curious, and she didn't know how rich the Xiao family was, especially Long Xiangye muttered in her ear all afternoon today, all of them were boasting about the wealth of their Xiao family, and they were complaining openly and secretly about the Yang family, and they shouldn't have a hard time.

In the past, the Xiao family was just a lower-average family.

Of course, Yang's maiden family was even poorer. Otherwise, she wouldn't have married a man in his forties at the age of sixteen. Because she still has younger siblings to feed underneath. She was married. The old lady of the Xiao family still gave a large dowry.

But she didn't ask.

Xiao Shi and this team, no matter how rich they are, have nothing to do with her. She was just filling in the house, and she was the stepmother of Xiao Shi and his grandfather. This bend has actually gone too far.

Of course, in terms of name, she is still the ancestor of the Xiao family. When worshipping ancestors and offering food tomorrow, it really needs a female elder with the highest rank at the helm.

"No problem. Just follow me tomorrow. Yang smiled and said, "It's not early, you can rest." I'm going back too. With that, he turned and left.

Du Hengshuang and Xiao Shiji sent her to the gate of the hospital together.

Back to the room. Both were sleepy. They didn't mention it.

Early the next morning, Du Hengshuang and Xiao Shiji got up and began to make formal preparations for the ancestor worship.

Batches of guests from the outer courtyard arrived, and they stayed in the side hall to eat breakfast and drink tea.

Because it is an ancestor worship. Only the officials of Luoyang City were invited. The lady did not come.

The inner courtyard is much easier.

The hour has come. Xiao Shiji took his son Brother Ping to the ancestral hall slowly, and bowed to the major officials in Luoyang who were guarding there, "I have to give you a witness." - I'm Xiao Shiji. The twenty-eighth generation grandson of the Xiao family in Luoyang, now under the holy order, sacrifices to the ancestors, and admonishes heaven and earth. ”

Brother Ping is only three and a half years old, but he is already very sensible. Dressed in a small sheepskin robe, he stood beside Xiao Shiji with a serious face, watching him act.

Xiao Shi and the chief priest ordered people to tear off the red silk on the door of the ancestral hall, revealing the plaque of "Xinghui Fubi" inscribed by Emperor Yongchang's imperial pen.

The officials who came to watch the ceremony immediately saluted the plaque, and the eyes that looked at Xiao Shiji were even more unusual.

Xiao Shiji didn't seem to notice everyone's reaction, and ordered someone to offer the pigs, cows, and sheep prepared for him by Prince Yi, and then personally read the sacrificial text written by the staff, and then lit incense and bowed down.

Xiao Shiji then presented knighthood and silk to his ancestors, and Brother Ping stood aside with a small incense burner and bent down to worship. Then the burning pond was guarded, the people invited to play music, three times to offer the knight, and the last time to burn the silk and drink the wine, the sacrifice was over.

This trip down the course for a full hour.

Xiao Shiji is okay, Brother Ping'er's white jade-like little face has turned red, and his forehead is full of beads of sweat.

Xiao Shiji looked distressed, and hurriedly said to the officials of Luoyang City who were watching the ceremony: "Thank you for being a witness." There are a few tables of banquets in the flower hall in front, please move there. ”

Those officials are mainly the big Sima of Luoyang City, some of them came to shoot Xiao Shi and sycophants, and some of them had ulterior motives, and when they saw nothing unusual at the moment, they all shouted in their hearts that they were bored. finally waited for the ancestor worship to end, of course, they were all busy going to the flower hall to sit down.

Along the way, someone muttered, "This pillar prince doesn't know what he wants." The Lanling Xiao clan who is good does not enter, and he has to compile his family's wild genealogy. Hey, the Hanmen Shu clan is the Hanmen Shu clan, and they can't be on the stage......"

Obviously, many people already knew that the Lanling Xiao clan had planned to let Xiao Shi and them into their genealogy, elevating him from the humble clan to the status of the top scholar clan.

Xiao Shiji returned to Luoyang to worship his ancestors with great fanfare, saying that he was a member of the Luoyang Xiao family and had nothing to do with the Lanling Xiao family, which was to show his rejection of the Lanling Xiao family's proposal.

Most of these officials were from the scholar family, and they were very puzzled by Xiao Shiji's actions.

If it were them, desperately offending His Majesty, they would also have to have something to do with the Lanling Xiao family.

Not to mention that it is difficult for the Hanmen Shu clan to enter the Shi clan, even if they want to go to a higher place, it is difficult to refuse such a proposal from the Lanling Xiao clan.

But Xiao Shiji clearly refused.

Of course, there are also some smart people who noticed the change in the direction of the wind, appreciated Xiao Shiji's actions very much, and strengthened their determination to hug Xiao Shiji's thighs.

Xiao Shiji didn't bother to pay attention to the careful thoughts of these people, as soon as the sacrifice in the ancestral hall was over, he personally sent Brother Ping to the inner courtyard and followed the offerings.

Above the main hall of the inner courtyard, the brocade curtain in front of the spirit card of the ancestors of the Xiao family hangs high, surrounded by colorful screens, and incense candles flicker. There is a portrait of the first generation of the ancestors of the Xiao family hanging in the middle of it, and there are several scrolls of ancestors' remains next to it, including the portrait of Xiao Xiangsheng, all of which are next to it.

Xiao Shiji was outside the door of the main hall, and inside the door was a female dependent. The male servants of the Xiao family are all outside the Yimen.

Every time a dish is passed, it is the first to arrive at Yimen. It was taken by the steward and passed to Xiao Shihe on the steps.

Brother Ping is the only male grandson, standing in the door with the female dependents. Every time Xiao Shihe held the dish, he was first handed over to Brother Ping, and then Brother Ping was handed over to Du Hengshuang, Du Hengshuang held the dish, came to the front of the table, and handed it over to Long Xiangye, and the Long Xiangye was handed over to Yang's after the most reluctance, and Yang put the dish on the table. This is done until all the dishes, rice, soup, wine, and tea are finished. Everyone kowtowed together. Xiao Shiji withdrew from the court and went to the outer courtyard to greet the guests.

After the sacrifice was completed, the ladies of the inner courtyard all went to the upper room to salute the Yang family.

Long Xiangye could only stand beside the Yang family, watching everyone kowtow in front of the Yang family. My heart is very angry. - If it weren't for Yang's sudden appearance. She is the one who serves food in front of our ancestors today! And he who sits here and accepts everyone's bowing. It will also be her Long Xiangye, not her Yang!

But thinking about it, Long Xiangye didn't have the courage to really go against the Yang family.

Originally, she thought that she was the identity of Yang's house-filling. Xiao Shiji and Du Hengshuang will not pay attention to her.

It's a pity she was wrong. Xiao Shiji and Du Hengshuang not only paid attention to her, but also treated her very well, even better than themselves.

Long Xiangye had a sad face, and stood until it was time to eat dinner in the afternoon when Yang Shi spoke and asked her to come over for dinner.

Because they wanted to keep the festival, they didn't eat with Du Hengshuang and them.

"Serve me first. Eat it again when you're done. Yang commanded, pointing to the bowl of cabbage vermicelli tofu, "Give me a little tofu and vermicelli." ”

Long Xiangye had no choice but to take a spoon and give Yang's vegetables.

Fortunately, Yang didn't deliberately toss her.

After eating two mouthfuls of food and a bowl of rice, she put it down and let Long Xiangye take care of herself, and she went to go to the evening class to chant the scriptures.

Although Yang did not become a monk, she lived in Yongci Nunnery for so many years, and she was also used to chanting sutras and chanting Buddha every day to cultivate the afterlife.

After the people of the Xiao family sacrificed to their ancestors, they were going back to Chang'an the next day.

In view of the fact that when they came, they encountered bandits on the road, this time, Xiao Shiji specially borrowed 500 soldiers from Luoyang Dasima to escort his group back to Chang'an.

Maybe they were on guard, maybe they were more than twice as many people as they had come, and there were no bandits to intercept them again along the way. In addition, with the Yang family and Long Xiangye sitting in the same car, Long Xiangye can't make a demon moth, and everyone's trip is much faster than when they came.

It took only three days for the group to return to Chang'an.

When I returned to Chang'an, it was not yet the fifteenth day of the first month.

Du Hengshuang returned to the Marquis of Zhuguo's Mansion and first called the needlework people to come over, and asked them to take Tianzhu cotton cloth and good ramie cloth to make clothes and cover luggage for Yang and Longxiangye. At the same time, as soon as the Yang family arrived at the Cining Courtyard of Longxiangye, the Marquis of Zhuguo's Mansion, he took the maid to check around, and let the maid put away everything that was not in sight, sent it to Du Hengshuang's courtyard to register and make a book, and then entered the warehouse.

Long Xiangye was so distressed that his liver trembled, but he couldn't stop the pace of Yang's copying.

She has several large rooms dedicated to her clothes and jewelry, as well as the furnishings and furniture in the house.

Yang almost counted all of them, leaving her with only about a box of clothes, jewelry, shoes and socks.

"It's all mine. Even if it can't be used, it will go into my warehouse, why do you send it to my daughter-in-law's yard? "Long Xiangye didn't let the Yang family send these things to Du Hengshuang's courtyard as well.

Yang said: "It's okay if you don't send it." But you can't have these things, and you can't have a private house. ”

Long Xiangye was furious, "You're enough!" Don't give a mallet, you just take it seriously! Why can't I have a private room? What woman doesn't have a private room? ”

"What are you going to do in your private room now? Who are you going to compensate? Your sons are all married, and you don't need to make up for it. Are you trying to make up for wild men? Yang said coldly.

Long Xiangye was stunned, and quickly retorted, "Don't think about it. What wild man should I make? These are my things, can't I just leave them there? ”

As soon as the Yang family copied it like this, Long Xiangye felt that he had worked hard for decades and returned to the pre-liberation period overnight. What else does it mean to be human?
