Chapter 352: Returning to the hometown to worship the ancestors
The people in the kitchen have already gone to work, not only to prepare breakfast today, but also to prepare the dishes for the luncheon in advance.
"I started breakfast early today, and I made steamed dumplings that the master likes."
"Okay, Mother Fan has worked hard, who will accompany Sister Moxiang."
"The waiter came over early this morning, Ah Xue is now with her, and the Xi Po invited by Mama are all people from our Zhuangzi."
Ah Shuang went back and said to Manqing,
"Mama is thoughtful, you can go later, I just have a book here." Ah Shuang is young in the end, and she loves to be lively, so she happily agreed,
"The third lady is here," as soon as the dining table was set, the mother-in-law outside announced, and Manfu and the two maids also came.
"You guys go over and put on makeup first, I'll go later," she commanded as she stood at the door, it seemed that she was specially sending ink incense?
Seeing that breakfast was set, people were not polite, and they sat down to eat, Manfu sandwiched a steamed dumpling and said with a smile,
"I haven't eaten this for a long time, and I'm really tired of white porridge and side dishes every day at home."
"Wouldn't you tell the kitchen to do something else? There is no shortage of food at home, and now it's not the second aunt's housekeeper? ”
"More is better than less, each room has a small kitchen, a big kitchen is trying to save trouble, I would rather eat white porridge than go to the room."
"When I get home, tell the old lady that Xiaofeng Courtyard will also build a small kitchen,"
"Wouldn't it be too much trouble?"
"What's the trouble? Dad is often over there, and it's convenient to ask for hot soup and hot water. ”
What does Manqing want to do, do you still need a reason? It's just a matter of one sentence, she gave her grandfather 10,000 taels of gold, and there is no shortage of money in the house, although people lost 100,000 taels, if they give too much, it will scare people.
People come and go in the house, it is very lively, and there are many maids from the Hou Mansion, even a lot of Ronghuatang have come, saying that they are adding makeup to the sisters, and bringing the old lady and the ladies of each room to reward silver, although the number is not much, but the face is enough.
Who would have thought that it was the maid who did the happy event, although she was a subordinate, but she couldn't stand the attention of the master, even the grandfather left a reward, and Wen Jin also came to eat at noon.
"Did you only bring your mouth? What about makeup? ”
"Sister, how can there be a man to add makeup, I gave Komatsu a silver reward, hehe, one hundred taels! Not a lot. ”
"You eat a maiden feast, and you have to give Mo Xiang a portion." Man Qing joked with her younger brother, she gave Mo Xiang a set of red gold and red treasure heads, and also gave five hundred silver tickets, which was more generous than ordinary well-off families.
The groom's official Liu Song was dressed in red, riding a big horse to pick up people, and when he got on the sedan chair, Mo Xiang hugged Manqing and cried.
"Don't cry, I'll be back after the wedding period, and Komatsu will come back with me this time!" She didn't tell Mo Xiang beforehand, but when she heard it at this time, the bride immediately burst into tears and laughed.
got on the sedan chair here, and the sisters and brothers also got on the horse, and she also had to go to Zhuangzi to be the man's parent, which was specially requested by Mama.
But when I arrived at Zhuangzi, compared to the liveliness of the house, it was much calmer here, and the grandmother whispered,
"Song'er said that he couldn't make trouble for his master, and today there is only our own family, and we don't publicize it to the outside world,"
When Man Qing saw it, there were really only people in his own shopkeeper and Zhuangzi, and there was no outsider, so he couldn't help but look at Liu Song with admiration. He has a lot of contacts now, and there are many people who want to come to him, as long as he has taken the goods in the workshop, as well as those merchants in the capital, who doesn't want to take advantage of this to give a gift?
Although the wedding was only her own family, because of her arrival, it gradually became lively, Xue Guang and they all gave big gifts, there were many people in Zhuangzi, this time it was a flowing water banquet, and Mama was also open, and the meal was eaten late at night.
The small courtyard of the Liu family was full of people, and the young people all went to the cave room, and Mama and Xiao Yezi lived in the main courtyard at night, accompanying Manqing.
Liu Song They are not slaves, and they will take their daughter-in-law back to Liu's house the next day, in addition to the family tree, there is also a ceremony to recognize relatives, and Mama is a little worried,
"I haven't been back for many years, this time I recognize my relatives, I don't know if my mother-in-law will make it difficult?"
"Don't worry, grandma, your sons are all talented, are you still afraid of your mother-in-law's embarrassment? Tell Xiaobai to follow you," Shuxiang drank some wine, and his face was red,
"I'm afraid, but after all, it's a good day for Komatsu, and I don't want to ruin the fun."
"Mother, you just like to think too much, grandmother doesn't dare to embarrass the eldest brother, I also heard a while ago that the patriarch wanted to come to Zhuangzi to attend the wedding, but was blocked by the eldest brother, and they are too late to tie up now."
Xiao Yezi is straightforward, she suffered a big loss at the hands of her grandmother when she was a child, and almost starved to death, so she has no feelings for the people in her hometown at all.
Manqing also drank too much, she leaned on the chaise longue, listening to their chatter, time flies really fast, in a blink of an eye, Mo Xiang is married, I think at the beginning, a few of them were in the north, but they really depended on each other.
Mo Xiang returned to the door in the third dynasty, saying that it was very smooth to go back, and no one dared to say anything about the brothers, because the patriarch spoke, Xiaobai was the first person in the Liu family to have a meritorious name, and they all had to be respected, and Mama was completely raised her eyebrows.
Approaching the New Year, Manqing took people back to the Hou Mansion, entered the door with the front foot, and the good news came from behind, because it was Enke, so the list was faster than usual, and it was before the New Year.
Sure enough, Wen Jin entered the top three and was on the list! Master Hou was overjoyed, although he had a title, but he couldn't study, this time he finally changed the court, and he discussed with the old lady right now and went back to Sujia Village!
"Such a big event, we must go back to worship our ancestors, and it's almost the New Year, let's go back this year!"
Man Qing is also very willing, it's been so long, the second uncle and they haven't believed it, isn't the second grandfather's illness still healed? Take advantage of this time to check it out.
reported to the emperor and quickly got an approval, how could the Su family's affairs not be allowed? Anyway, the palace test is in the New Year, so there is no delay.
The Su family's convoy is very spectacular, there are several cars in each room, this is still a strict order to streamline, except for the old lady, each person is only allowed to bring one servant, mainly because he is afraid that his hometown will not be able to live.
Manqing also only brought the fragrance of books, she sat in the car and closed her eyes to recuperate, Du's car was in front, but the complaints were all passed on, and Su Kaicheng's scolding, no way, the hearing was too good,
This time, the third room was left to take care of the house, and the aunt and the younger children were not brought, but Wen Jin was the sister-in-law of the big house, and the two of them were absent.
"Sister, is it scary in the ancestral hall? I haven't been there once. Manfu sat with her, and this time she didn't bring a single maid with her.
"The ancestral hall worships the ancestors, and the woman will not be allowed to enter, we can only wait outside, in fact, there is nothing to be afraid of, it is the ancestral tablet."
Manfu stuck out her tongue, her brother was on the list, she was very excited, in ancient times, if her mother's brother was born, she was her daughter's biggest backer.
"Third Miss, there are candied fruits here, do you want to eat some of them?" Shuxiang is also very excited, this time to revisit the old place, she is not the original little pitiful.
