76. Discipline
In the morning, I ate colorful glutinous rice balls, with sugar, sweet and silky, which means that the year is full and sweet. Lin Mu'er ate a small half, although it was sweet and delicious, but it was a little sweet and greasy, put down the spoon, and didn't want to eat more.
"Let's go!" After cleaning her hands, Lin Mu'er got up and walked out, and suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at the green orange that was being cleaned up on the side, and frowned: "Green orange!" Let's go and change my shoes first! ”
Seeing the master's stern tone, Qingcheng was also stunned for a while, came back to his senses, and immediately knelt down: "Master, I..."
Lin Mu'er didn't pay attention to her, and turned around: "You don't have to come to serve today, go back to the room and think clearly!" ”
Lan Xue also frowned, followed behind Lin Mu'er, and glanced at Qingcheng who was kneeling on the ground: This girl, knowing that she was going to pay tribute to the prince today, there was nothing wrong with the plain dress, who knew that she was wearing a pair of pink embroidered shoes with Ruyi cloud silk satin under Luo's skirt! If the master hadn't found out, dressed like this to give the prince incense, it would not be too much to treat her for a big crime of disrespect!
Mother Xie also hated iron and steel, and this little hoof didn't know which piece of lard was blindfolded, so she didn't know how important it was! The master is all plain today, and even the accessories are simple, she is good, she dares to wear a pink embroidered shoes! This girl, if you don't beat it well, I don't know what kind of thoughts will come out in the future!
Lin Mu'er was also annoyed in her heart, always thinking that Qingcheng was just greedy and playful, she was young, and she could always be trained slowly, but she didn't think about it, but she was restless, what is the difference between doing this today and those who are yang and yin? If you don't understand, you can forgive it, but she already said the element color dress yesterday, she is good, hide from the world and play some tricks, such a girl, it is really chilling!
Until the small ancestral hall, Lin Mu'er was still angry, with a straight face, but there was a bit of the momentum of the princess, and the mother-in-law who had been taking care of the small ancestral hall had already been waiting at the door, Lin Mu'er stopped and motioned to Lan Xue to hand over the red envelope. The mothers-in-law pinched the red envelopes, smiled from ear to ear, and thanked them vigorously.
"Alright, you guys go down first, we're waiting here!" Lan Xue spoke.
"Hey! Good! Good! Slaves and maids quit! The mother-in-law retreated happily.
Lin Mu'er stood still at the door of the small ancestral hall, calmed down, and calmed down before walking inside. The ancestral hall is very small, although it is the prince's mansion, in the end it is not qualified to worship the first emperor and the mother's concubine, so the entire ancestral hall is only in the upper lonely tablet of the king of Jin, the mother-in-law takes good care of it, and the three animals on the table are very neatly placed, and it looks very fresh; The prayer mat in front of the offering table is also newly replaced, only the incense burner and cornucopia have some incense ash and paper ashes, which must have been left by the mother-in-law during worship.
Lin Mu'er stood in front of the offering table, looking at the tablet on the offering tablet, which was her husband and the cornerstone of her survival! Although he has never met, but he and he have been inseparable, a few years later, waiting for a hundred years, on this table, his tablet will be listed with him, sharing the incense in the world! think
At this point, Lin Mu'er had no reason to get a little close to this tablet. Raising his hand, he gently wiped the almost invisible dust on the tablet with the handkerchief in his hand, and Lin Mu'er wiped it very carefully, as if he was wiping a priceless treasure.
Mother Xie stood behind Lin Mu'er, her eyes swelling and sour, full of distress and emotion! Lan Xue's eyes were also slightly red, on the tablet, it was the master she had served for many years, although the prince was basically not in the mansion, but that was their family's life-saving benefactor, and the backbone of this palace! Only Hongxing, an honest girl, was busy with the things in her hands, placing the incense candles and incense one by one, and the white candle shelves on both sides were roughly cleaned, but the corners were still full of wax and oil.
Hongxing was secretly dissatisfied in her heart while cleaning up: these mothers-in-law will be lazy! Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, I know that the master will come, and I don't know how to clean up! When the master sees this, I'm afraid I'm going to be unhappy again!
After wiping the tablet, Lin Muer took out the incense candle and replaced it again, lit three incense sticks, and the smoke dispersed, entangled and faded in front of the tablet...
Lin Mu'er returned to the mat, lifted the corner of her skirt, and knelt down lightly; Hongxing also stopped, and Xie's mother Lan Xue also knelt down. Lin Mu'er looked at this tablet quietly: this is the eleventh son of the first emperor, the prince of Jin who was personally crowned by the first emperor, and the famous general of Zhenbei in the Great Liang, is her husband! Today, the bones are hard to find, and there is only one tablet left for people to remember...
With a light sigh, Lin Mu'er threw the yellow paper into the cornucopia, and the orange flames couldn't wait to lick the yellow paper into ashes, and the flickering light reflected on Lin Mu'er's face, making it difficult to see.
"You all go out, I'll be alone!" Looking at the raging flames in the cornucopia, Lin Mu'er said quietly.
The few people behind him glanced at each other, as if they were not at ease, but there was no way to stop them, so they had to say yes and exit the small ancestral hall.
After a few people exited the ancestral hall, the dim small ancestral hall was terrifyingly silent, the breath could be heard, and even the sound of the fire licking the yellow paper could be heard; Lin Mu'er was still kneeling quietly, throwing a few pieces of yellow paper into the cornucopia from time to time...
"I will guard the Jin Palace, don't worry!" Finally, when the yellow paper was about to burn, Lin Mu'er opened his mouth, as if he was reassuring, and as if he was cheering for himself, he knelt down for a long time, except for this sentence, Lin Mu'er didn't say a word more.
Finally, the fire of the yellow paper was extinguished, and only ashes were left in the cornucopia, Lin Mu'er took a long breath, supported the ground with her jade hands, and wanted to stand up, but her legs were paralyzed and unconscious. Lin Mu'er said "ouch", sat on the ground, covered her legs, tears were in her eyes, and her face was painful.
"Master!" Mother Xie and the others, who were at the door, were also startled when they heard Lin Mu'er's cry of pain, pushed open the door, and hurriedly walked in. Seeing Lin Mu'er sitting on the ground with a painful face, everyone was shocked, and they surrounded each other.
"Master, how are you?"
"Master, master..."
Although it is acid
Seeing everyone's anxious looks, especially Hongxing's little face that was about to cry, Lin Mu'er endured the discomfort and gritted her teeth and said, "It's okay, I'm just numb in my legs..."
Several people were stunned for a moment, glanced at each other, although they wanted to laugh a little, but in the end, they were relieved, and they didn't dare to start rubbing, so they could only wait for her to slowly ease and stretch.
After half a cup of tea, Lin Mu'er finally eased up, and scratched her head a little embarrassedly: "Okay, it's okay!" ”
"Hurry up, it's very cold on the ground, don't freeze!" Seeing that Lin Mu'er eased up, Mother Xie hurriedly stepped forward to help, although she was dressed thickly, but the small ancestral hall did not raise the brazier, it was freezing this day, and she would get sick if she sat on the ground for a long time.
Lin Mu'er stood still under the support of several people, stomped his feet lightly, and said, "It's okay, go back!" ”
Even at the beginning of the new year, the weather was still gloomy and terrible, and it snowed overnight yesterday, and it stopped in the morning, which will look like it will snow again. Lin Mu'er and his party also had no intention of looking outside, and kept walking towards Weiyueju.
As soon as I arrived at Weiyueju, I saw Meiyue waiting at the door of Weiyueju, the tip of her nose was frozen red, and when she saw Lin Muer and others coming, she grinned and said: "Meiyue has given the master a New Year's greeting, may everything go well to the master, and the year will be safe!" "On the one hand, I am blessed with a decent appearance!
"Mom, look, there are people begging for red envelopes early in the morning!" Seeing Meiyue's exaggerated appearance of asking for peace, Lin Mu'er stood up and said to Xie's mother with a smile, and looked at Meiyue again: "Why don't you wait inside, it's windy outside, and your face is red." ”
"The girls said that the master went to offer incense to the prince, so I waited outside." Mei Yue said naturally, and didn't feel that there was anything wrong, so she turned sideways and let Lin Mu'er and the others pass.
Lin Mu'er paused and looked at Meiyue: "Next time, even if I'm not in Weiyueju, you can wait inside, you know?" ”
Meiyue was stunned for a moment, looked at Lin Mu'er, and saw that Lin Mu'er looked serious and honest, Meiyue pursed her lips, suppressed the inexplicable emotions surging in her heart, and nodded fiercely: "Yes, Meiyue knows, thank you master!" ”
"Let's go! Go in and say! Mother Xie urged, the snow particles have fallen overwhelmingly, and standing outside here is afraid that her clothes will be wet.
When she entered the house, because her clothes were stained with the smoky smell of incense, candles, and paper money, Mother Xie waited for Lin Mu'er to change into the small blue jacket she wore on weekdays, and then sat down to talk to everyone.
"Uh-huh!" Lin Mu'er pretended to clear her throat, picked up the princess's style, and said with a serious look: "Come on, kowtow, master, I'm going to give out red envelopes!" ”
"Poof!" Lan Xue couldn't hold back her laughter first, not to mention, Lin Mu'er really had such a thing with a straight face, and he really had a bit of the momentum of a prince if he was not angry and arrogant.
"Hey, why isn't the orange girl here today, if she sent moon silver in the past, she was the first, why aren't you diligent in taking red envelopes today?" Meiyue looked around and saw that Qingcheng, the most lively in the past, was not there, so she blurted out a question.
Everyone was stunned, and they didn't know what to do for a while
opened her mouth, but Lin Mu'er didn't care, and said lightly: "The shoes she wore today are not in order, I let her go back!" ”
Meiyue was stunned, and secretly regretted it, she was really talkative, the master has always favored Qingcheng, no matter how she made a fuss, most of them turned a blind eye and passed, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, the master actually punished her for her shoes and went back to the room, not letting her serve in Weiyueju, I think I was really angry!
Thinking of this, Meiyue also had a hint of secret happiness, this morning I was just about to leave to pay New Year's greetings, and was pulled by my grandfather to change my clothes, it was originally a ginger brocade dress with a magpie standing on top of the red plum, but I was picked by my grandfather with a simple and elegant long skirt of smoke and rain and ink lotus, I still disliked it too plainly, how could anyone dress like this on the first day of the New Year to the master? Now it seems that Jiang is still old and spicy, and grandpa must know that the master is going to give the prince incense today, even if it is a New Year's greeting, wearing a plain dress will not go wrong!
