Lily stuck out her tongue and didn't speak, Meng Xiaoran smiled silently, she felt that Du Juan was right to do this, although Shen Mansion was not a palace mansion, but it was also a big family, although Shen Qian had a good relationship with her, but she couldn't be pampered and arrogant, and indulged the maid who came to marry.

So there is a calm and introverted big girl like Du Juan who manages Lily, she is also a lot more relieved, seeing Lily's face is not good, she is also a little unbearable, so she smiled and said with relief: "Lily is innocent, such a temperament is very good, but your sister is right, you are the maid who married me to the Shen Mansion, although you were also Shen Qian's people in the past, but at that time your identity was different, and it was more casual, but in the future, your words and deeds in this mansion will represent me, so you still have to pay attention, but behind closed doors, A few of us are still the same as before, so we don't have to be too restrained. ”

Hearing this, Lily nodded vigorously, and her face was much better, "Well, young lady, the slave must remember your teachings." ”

Meng Xiaoran couldn't help laughing, shook his head and said: "It's quite fast to learn and sell now, didn't I tell you, when the four of us are alone together, we are still the same as before, we don't have to be restrained, I don't like it if I suppress my nature." ”

Lily immediately smiled when she heard this, and looked at Du Juan again, looking quite proud, Du Juan shook her head helplessly, stretched out her hand and nodded her head, Ni Sheng saw that Meng Xiaoran's face was pale, thought about it and said: "Girl, I don't know when the banquet outside will end, anyway, it's still early, otherwise you can change out of your wedding dress and sleep first, and we will put it on for you later." ”

Meng Xiaoran didn't sleep well last night because she was nervous, and she was pulled up early in the morning to freshen up and dress up, and now she is really sleepy, and even wants to take off her makeup and change into regular clothes to sleep, but it seems unrealistic, because she has to worship her ancestors at night, this is the family rule of the Shen family, and the head of the family will worship the ancestors on the day she marries his wife, and put Meng Xiaoran's name on the family tree, so that she can really become a member of the Shen family.

She accepted Ni Shang's suggestion, stood up and asked a few people to take off the heavy wedding dress for her, and lay down with only a red undershirt, Ni Shang nodded to the cuckoo and lily, and the three of them left cautiously, there was silence outside the house, and Meng Xiaoran soon fell into a deep sleep.

When I opened my eyes again, I felt something crawling on my face, and when I looked closely, it was Shen Qian sitting on the edge of the bed, his hand was on his face, the sun outside was already much smaller, and the hour should not be early.

Meng Xiaoran sat up and asked, "What time is it, didn't you delay the ancestor worship?" ”

Shen Qian smiled and said, "If you sleep any longer, it will be delayed, so I woke you up." ”

"Let Neon and Cuckoo come in, and let them help me redress." Meng Xiaoran said.

Shen Qian looked at her face for a long time, and saw that Meng Xiaoran's face was red, and suddenly he came over and whispered in her ear: "Lady, although you are very beautiful today, I still prefer your appearance without powder, so I still washed this makeup before going to bed tonight." ”

"What do you say, don't make a fuss, it's really too late to do this." Meng Xiaoran pushed him away with a red face, and Shen Qian stopped teasing her, got up and walked out of the room, and went to call a few maids who were guarding outside.

Nishang and the others had planned to come in to serve, but who knew that Shen Qian would come over suddenly, and the three of them naturally did not come in again, but seeing that it was getting later and later, they were also a little anxious, for fear of delaying the auspicious time to worship their ancestors.

Lily was the most skillful, and soon combed Meng Xiaoran's hair in a bun, although it was not as good as the woman in the morning, but there was no difference, and the three of them worked together again to put the phoenix crown weighing a few catties on her head and fix it.

Meng Xiaoran felt a weight on her head, and her head didn't dare to shake easily, so she could only look straight ahead, looking at herself in the mirror, at this time they had already made up her makeup, and returned to the bright appearance of the morning, which was very different from usual, it seemed that she was a different person, she remembered Shen Qian's words just now, and her face was a little hot, but fortunately, there was rouge to cover it, and she couldn't see the clues.

When the wedding dress was dressed, and the last remnant of the sun outside was gone, it was almost unitary, and they had to pass it at once, and the auspicious time was three quarters of the unitary hour, and it would take about a quarter of an hour to walk through their courtyard, so they had to leave at once.

Because Meng Xiaoran is the bride, she still needs to take a sedan chair, a red six-person sedan chair stopped at the courtyard gate, Nishang walked over to open the sedan curtain for her, and the cuckoo lily held her hand and sent her into the sedan chair to sit down.

The two of them obviously felt that their master's body stiffened when he first entered, but it quickly returned to normal, and the cuckoo immediately asked in a low voice, "Master, what's wrong?" ”

Meng Xiaoran continued to walk inside, sat down in the sedan chair, and said to the outside: "It's nothing, let's go, don't delay the auspicious time." ”

"Get up." The sound of neon clothes came, and the sedan chair was lifted up, and it walked smoothly towards the ancestral hall.

Meng Xiaoran sat in the sedan chair, looking at Shen Qian sitting beside her helplessly, she noticed something was wrong as soon as she came in, and when she looked up, she saw him sitting there, looking at herself with a smile.

"Why did you get into the sedan chair?" Meng Xiaoran glared at him, but she knew that this was unruly, because the Song family had sent someone to talk about the various matters of today's ancestor worship in advance, and the bride could only wait outside the ancestral hall in a sedan chair.

And Shen Qian must enter the ancestral hall in advance, give the ancestors of the Shen family an incense, and only when the auspicious time arrives to greet the bride, the two kneel together, and then the master recites the scriptures and praises the blessings, and adds Meng Xiaoran's name to the family tree, and it is considered a ceremony since then.

Shen Qian looked at her and smiled, holding her weak and boneless jade hand, "I just want to stay with you for a while, it seems that we haven't talked well together for three months, and you have almost no time during this time, so I want to talk to you properly." ”

"Isn't there time in the future, where is there a hurry, you go down quickly, your father will definitely scold you if she knows about it." Meng Xiaoran urged him to go down.

Shen Qian suddenly grabbed her shoulders with both hands and looked at her carefully...... Meng Xiaoran saw what he wanted to do, and immediately stretched out his hand to block his mouth, Shen Qian couldn't help laughing, laughing very heartily, several people outside heard the sound, and several people looked at each other, and they all lowered their heads, pretending not to know.

Shen Qian grabbed Meng Xiaoran's hand on his mouth with one hand, didn't let her escape, kissed her Yun hand carefully, and whispered in his mouth: "You have too much lipstick on your mouth, and I can't get off my mouth, but this hand was sent by yourself......"

Meng Xiaoran felt that his palm was wet and numb, and wanted to withdraw it, but was grabbed tightly by Shen Qian, and after a while, he removed her hand from his mouth, but he still didn't let go of her hand, "I'll go down later, I won't be discovered, Xiaoran, I'm very happy, really happy." ”

"I'm happy too." Meng Xiaoran looked at him and smiled, the two went through a lot, and finally came together, which they were all a little emotional.

Shen Qian left quietly, and arrived at the ancestral hall before Meng Xiaoran arrived, Shen Yu and the Song family were already waiting there, and there were several respected old people in the Shen family in the ancestral hall.

Shen Qian entered the ancestral hall and saluted the elderly men, "I've seen all the uncles and uncles." ”

Those people nodded one after another, Shen Qian, the head of the Shen family's generation, was obviously more courageous than his father, otherwise he would not have retreated in the battle of the royal family, and several old men of the Shen family were very satisfied with him.

Shen Qian took the incense handed over by Shen San, stepped forward to light it, starting from the front, and gave incense to every ancestor of the Shen family, at this time Meng Xiaoran was already waiting outside, and at three o'clock, an old monk in a robe shouted: "The auspicious time is coming~"

Shen Qian walked out, took Meng Xiaoran who was sitting in a sedan chair, took her hand and slowly walked into the ancestral hall, two futons had already been prepared on the ground, the two knelt down, bowed to the ancestral tablet, bowed three times, and finally the old monk walked in front of the two of them, with words in his mouth, not knowing what to say.

Meng Xiaoran knew that this should be chanting and praying for blessings, and after a while, the old monk stopped and said slowly: "On the genealogy." ”

Shen San immediately held the genealogy and sent it up, and the old monk turned it to the latest page, and wrote Meng Xiaoran's name next to Shen Qian's name, after which this ancestor worship ceremony was over.

After that, there was a dinner party, which was to receive the relatives of the Shen family, Shen Qian, the head of the family and the groom, naturally could not be absent, and Meng Xiaoran was sent back again, but this time she could finally take a bath and change her clothes, and remove the heavy makeup on her face.

Lying in the tub sprinkled with flower petals, her consciousness was a little dazed, and when she was done, she changed into a new red silk undershirt and a peach-pink regular dress, and she sat there and the cuckoo wrung her hair.

When the hair was half-dry, Meng Xiaoran asked the cuckoo to stop, and now the weather is not cold, so it can be dried naturally if it is half-dry, and there is no need to tire them anymore.

"Master, the young master sent someone to bring dinner again, do you want to eat?" Lily walked in and asked.

Meng Xiaoran nodded, "Well, eat, I'm hungry too." Lily nodded, and the food box was brought over, and a large table of dishes was set up in a short time.

She looked at the dishes on this table, shook her head, and said to Lily and Cuckoo: "You all sit down and eat together, where can I eat so many dishes alone?" ”

Both Cuckoo and Lily shook their heads, "How can slaves and maidservants eat with their masters?" Master, eat first, and give the rest to the slaves and maids. ”

Meng Xiaoran frowned, but she couldn't, she knew that it was impossible to change the deep-rooted hierarchical concepts of these people, so she thought of a compromise method, "There are a total of ten dishes here, where can I finish them alone, so let's do it, you leave me three dishes and a soup, and serve the rest, the three of you eat together, you are hungry after a busy day, you don't have to serve by my side, you have been with me for so long, you also know my habits." ”

Cuckoo and Lily glanced at each other, and finally looked at Ni Shang, who was the person who had been with Meng Xiaoran for the longest time, and the person she trusted the most, and Du Juan and Lily liked to listen to her.
