Chapter 29: Confession
After Jiang Nuan branched this small seedling, he entered the hut and began today's practice.
The next day, early in the morning, Jiang Nuan was woken up by the two concubines.
"Mother, today is a big day, you must dress up well." After Xie finished speaking, he went to the box and took out a set of dark purple cotton clothes, "This dress was made for my mother when my father-in-law was alive, and I used good cotton, and my mother only wore it a few times during the Chinese New Year." ”
"Cotton? What kind of cloth is this? Jiang Nuan was puzzled, "Is the cotton cloth mixed with silk?" ”
"No," Xie explained while helping Jiang Nuan arrange her skirt, "The cotton is still cotton, it looks as beautiful as silk, but it is not as expensive as silk, and it is woven by the weaver after soaking it in a special medicinal solution." ”
After a pause, Xie added, "There is still a difference, the cotton is not so slippery to the touch, and it is not as close to silk as it is worn, and it is a little hard." ”
Jiang Nuan felt it and nodded in agreement, "It's really harder, but it's very textured, and the clothes made are exceptionally good-looking." ”
Jiang Nuan's clothes are stand-up collars, if they are made of cotton or silk, they will definitely not be able to make this feeling.
After cleaning up for Jiang Nuan, the two of them cleaned up for Huang Yi again.
Huang Yi didn't need to clean up much, he changed into half-new clothes, combed his hair, and it was almost fine.
After cleaning up, Jiang Nuan dragged his family to the village chief's house.
When Jiang Nuan arrived, the village patriarchs and elders had already gathered in the hall.
Sister-in-law Huang brought over the pastries, peanuts and melon seeds sent by Jiang Nuan, poured tea again, and carefully retreated after thoughtful service.
Huangjiakou is a gathering place for families, and the advantage of this is that the whole family is in the same spirit, but the disadvantage is that the clan power is too strong.
It is no exaggeration to say that the patriarch of Huangjiakou can completely decide the life and death of ordinary villagers.
Even Sister-in-law Huang is very jealous of these people.
Sister-in-law Huang's sensibility has won the favor of the head of the Huang family.
The head of the Huang family, who was the leader, did not skimp on his appreciation, "Brother Bai, my younger brother and sister are still so polite and thoughtful, and the fifth uncle and five aunts are blessed." ”
The village chief answered with a smile, "Don't let my cousin's words be heard by my family, everyone in the Huang family who she is preaching must know." ”
"It's okay," the patriarch took a sip of tea and nodded in satisfaction, "That's the truth. Speaking of which, the vision of the fifth uncle and five aunts is indeed excellent, and the Bai brothers and sisters are careful and thoughtful, and the wooden brothers and sisters,"
At the mention of Jiang Nuan, Patriarch Huang's eyes flashed before he continued to speak, "Although Brother and Sister Mu have a little temper in a woman's family, she is a capable person. ”
Although Patriarch Huang seems to be relatively gentle, he is actually the most arrogant.
As the head of a clan, he doesn't take ordinary people in his eyes, and the entire Huangjiakou can make him look sideways, except for the elders, there is only the village chief's family, including Jiang Nuan.
He values Jiang Nuan because Jiang Nuan, like him, is a person who can read and write.
Previously, he was quite skeptical of this, and his attitude was not obvious, but after confirming that it was true, he immediately changed his attitude.
Otherwise, Chubby's matter would not have been so easy to solve.
Jiang Nuan didn't know this, at this moment, she was dressed up and stayed in the side hall with Mrs. Huang.
"Yaya, when the time comes, someone will come to call you, when Huang Yi serves tea, take a sip and it will be done, don't be too real." Mrs. Huang took Jiang Nuan's hand and instructed.
"Mother, I know," Jiang Nuan was a little helpless, "You've already said it three times." ”
How did she feel, Mrs. Huang was more nervous than herself.
Just accepting a son, and not visiting the church to get married, is it necessary to be so cautious? Jiang Nuan kept complaining in his heart.
"Look at my memory," Mrs. Huang patted her head, "People are old and useless, you write down everything I said, don't take it seriously, don't make taboos when the time comes." ”
"Remember, you must let Huang Yi cross the brazier and go to get rid of the bad luck on his body." Mrs. Gu instructed again.
"Don't worry, I remember everything."
After the two finished speaking, Sister-in-law Huang ran over and called, "Yaya, it's time, let's go to the hall quickly, Huang Yi is about to enter the door." ”
"Well, come on."
After a while, Jiang Nuan sat on the right side of the main seat of the hall.
Father Huang and the patriarch of Huangjiakou sat separately.
In the center of the entrance of the hall, a brazier was lit, and the fragrance made of dried wormwood in Huang Xiaosi's hand was lit.
After a while, Boss Huang led Huang Yi over, stepped over the brazier, and Huang Xiaosi held the incense to circle around him. Then he knelt on the futon that had been prepared, and knelt three times and bowed nine times to the throne.
"The child visits his stepmother." Huang Yi held the teacup and spoke.
Jiang Nuan followed Mrs. Huang's instructions, took a sip of tea, and helped the person up before he spoke, "From today on, you are the righteous son of the Huang family." ”
It was a very ordinary conversation, and the hall was as before, but Jiang Nuan felt a sense of solemnity, and she couldn't help but get serious.
Everyone looked serious, and the scene in front of them was very important.
Then, Huang Yi met the people of the Huang family one by one and changed the title again.
It was also at this time that Jiang Nuan knew that Xiaopang was even smaller than Huang Xiaosi.
After doing this, the head of the Huang family interjected at the right time, "Today, Huang Mu's wife, Huang Jiang, accepted the son of Huang Cai in the third room as his righteous son, and Huang Juejian, the head of a certain Huang family. ”
The rest of the clan elders also spoke, and their words were much the same.
After the ceremony, the meal was just ready, and the village chief diligently led everyone to the room to eat and drink.
After eating and drinking, Sister-in-law Huang wrapped a red envelope for everyone to take home.
After sending the clan elders away, the matter of recognizing relatives is completely over.
"Fortunately, Huang Yi is small, the requirements are not so high, and if he is older, he has to toast the elders, and some of them have accepted it." Huang Lao Er muttered with a wine hiccups.
"What's the matter, it's not the same for different ages?" Jiang Nuan asked suspiciously.
Suddenly hearing the voice, Huang Lao Er trembled with fright, "Mother, it's you!" ”
He patted his chest before answering, "It's definitely different for different ages, Chubby is still young, he doesn't have a crown, and Chubby's parents are not there, today is just a simple recognition of people, otherwise, how can it end so quickly." ”
"Not enough today?" Jiang Nuan was a little surprised, "What else to do?" ”
"A lot, eight characters, sacrifice to the grave, please ...... the ancestors"
"Stop, you don't need to say it," Jiang Nuan stopped Huang Laoer's words, "Anyway, there won't be a second one in our family, it doesn't matter if you don't understand." ”
Jiang Nuan sounded like a big head about these messy things, anyway, it had nothing to do with him, and he didn't want to listen to it.
It was also at this time that Jiang Nuan discovered that there were more rules in this era than he thought.
When Jiang Nuan came out, it was just past nine o'clock, and the family packed up their things and went back, but it was already approaching dusk.
This small matter took the Huang family nearly two days, and now that the dust has settled, Jiang Nuan's tight string has loosened.
