When the rice, soup, wine, tea, and snacks were delivered, everyone lined up according to their seniority, men and women, and when the old duchess bowed down with incense, everyone knelt down together.

After worshipping their ancestors, the men all withdrew, and rushed to the Weiguo Mansion to wait and salute the old Duchess of the country.

Because the old Duchess now has the highest rank and the most valuable status in the Song family, several old ladies and sisters of her generation were also supported by others, and they greeted each other and laughed for a while.

The old ladies were also old, and they only ate tea and went home goodbye.

Then the old duchess got up and went to the inner room to change her clothes, and then went to sit in the main hall, and all the men, women, and children of the He tribe, who got up together, came to salute her.

Then they sat down and received the salute according to the order of the old and the young.

In the end, the people of Manchu paid salutes according to the upper, middle and lower errands of men and women, and scattered New Year's money, purses, and all kinds of gold and silver bills.

Then the banquet was put on the table, and Tusu wine was offered, and what acacia soup, auspicious fruit, and wishful cake were served like flowing water.

Everyone sat down for a while, and the old duchess couldn't hold it anymore and went to the inner room to change clothes.

The others also withdrew and went back to their respective homes.

Just like this, everyone is tired and tired, and they have to keep the New Year at night, and the juniors have to go back to the house to rest, only Gao's can not rest, and he has to order everywhere to be careful, today's Buddha Hall, and the stove in front of the prince must burn incense and make offerings, and there are lanterns hanging everywhere, you have to watch carefully, don't go to the water.

In the evening, the big meal is even more delicacies, all the good things that fly in the sky, swim in the water, and run all kinds of good things on the ground, all of which are on this table.

Because it was the Chinese New Year, and they were all close relatives, a large table was set up and men and women sat down.

Naturally, it was the old Duchess who was sitting at the top, Mrs. Zhang didn't want to come, but Gao's invitation, coupled with the persuasion of Wang Yongzhu and Song Chongjin, came in the evening, because she was a guest, she sat on the first chair on the right side of the old Duchess of Guo, and Gao sat down under her.

And the rest of the people sat down on either side, according to their seniority.

There was wine on the men's side, and sherbet on the women's side.

Because it is the New Year, everyone is dressed up in flowers, the house is full of brilliance, for a while it is smiling and smiling, and the sound of firecrackers outside is non-stop, and it is lively.

The old duchess talked to Mrs. Zhang with a pleasant face, first expressing her liking for Wang Yongzhu, the granddaughter-in-law, and then thanking Mrs. Zhang for taking care of Song Chongjin, and finally holding Mrs. Zhang's hand: "Now that I'm old, I don't like to be lively, and it's useless to pull out the earth, so I just nest in the backyard to eat a fast and recite a Buddha, and ask the Bodhisattva to bless the whole family, that is." ”

"Those old sisters on weekdays can't walk anymore. Now it's hard to find someone to talk to, if the in-laws don't dislike it, and have to go to my yard when they are empty, let's also nag, let my old wife also listen to this outside thing. ”

"Where is the old lady talking about this, if you don't dislike me for being a country woman, and I don't have any knowledge, I can only talk about the idea of farming in the countryside, even if you call me it." Since Mrs. Zhang saw the meeting gift given by the old woman brought back by Song Chongjin that day, she felt that this old lady seemed to be good to her daughter, and now listening to her, she also praised her for loving her daughter.

As long as you praise your daughter, you can talk together, so you readily agreed.

"Then it's decided, after the New Year, we have to be free, and we will invite my in-laws' wife to my yard, although I don't have anything good to entertain there, but there are still good tea and snacks." The attitude of the lady of the old country mansion was very gentle.

It was so gentle that everyone else couldn't believe it.

This old Duchess was also a very powerful figure back then, married into the Weiguo Mansion for decades, from the wife of the prince, to the Duchess of Weiguo, to the old lady, this way has been accompanied by the Weiguo Mansion.

After the death of the old Wei Guogong, she also handed over the power of the housekeeper to the Gao family and went to the backyard to retire and fast.

But everyone knows, don't look at the old lady who seems to have handed over the rights and doesn't ask about the world, what is really going on, I'm afraid that in this mansion, she and Wei Guogong can bear it.

It's just that the old Duchess has always treated several grandchildren mediocrely, and at this moment she is so kind to a country woman, who doesn't know that she loves the house and Wu?

Therefore, the eyes that looked at Song Chongjin were not very friendly.

What the Song family thinks, the old duchess naturally ignores it, now she is the ancestor of the house, that is, she doesn't care, otherwise if she relies on her mother's identity, Song Hong, the princess of the country, will have to tolerate a few points because of filial piety.

She also needs to look at other people's faces and care about other people's moods, as long as she doesn't involve major events outside, she basically follows her own heart.

beckoned Wang Yongzhu to step forward, touched Wang Yongzhu's hand, looked at the sky carefully, and then said: "Sure enough, he is a good boy, I like it at first sight, and I can't match our brother Jin'er." ”

At the same time, he beckoned Song Chongjin to come forward, clasped the hands of the two together, and said: "Brother Jin, your daughter-in-law is a good child, when you didn't know your background, she never gave up on you." Although you recognize it now, you can't forget your roots! ”

Song Chongjin said solemnly: "Grandmother, please rest assured, your grandson will live up to Yongzhu in this life!" ”

Because of the words of the old Duchess of the country, not only Song Chongjin, but even Wang Yongzhu looked at the old lady with a little closer eyes.

The old duchess looked at the two of them for a long time, and seemed to see Song Hong and Qi Huan twenty years ago through them, but quickly came back to her senses: "That's good!" That's good! ”

With a smile on her face, she asked her confidant to bring a plate and cover it tightly with a red cloth: "This is a little bit of care from grandmother, and it is also to supplement the New Year's money for your young couple for so many years, take it back and play." ”

Song Chongjin thanked him and took the plate, which was heavy, and he didn't know what was on it.

However, everyone watched and did not open it, and handed it to Gu Yu, who was waiting by Wang Yongzhu's side, with his backhand.

The old Duchess was relieved to see that the two had received the gifts.

In the end, I am old, because Song Chongjin came back this year, I sat for a while, and I only felt that it was unbearable, so I simply helped the old lady directly, saying that I went to the inner room to change clothes, and went directly back to my yard.

As soon as the old lady left, the second and third rooms breathed a sigh of relief.

Especially the second room Yu's family, she didn't even dare to come out of the atmosphere, you know, her mother-in-law was the concubine of the old man, although her lord was a concubine, but she was also quite favored by the old man.

Even the current official position of his own lord was greatly arranged by the old prince at the beginning.
