Chapter 411 and Rites (1)
The Yang family is worried about Yang Yu's marriage, and the Xu family is also worried that the mother's family hopes that the little niece will marry into the Hou Mansion, which is nothing more than taking a fancy to Brother Yu's identity as the heir of the Hou Mansion in the future, and Brother Yu is the eldest son, and his character and upbringing are extremely good, so he is not a loss.
But Xu himself is not willing at all, it is not a white-eyed wolf, but the little niece is not enough to bear the ups and downs and the future of the Hou Mansion, if she can be as good as Zilan, her in-laws will agree without her opening.
At night, Xu couldn't sleep and pushed her husband, "Uncle, my mother's family has taken a fancy to Brother Yu, how should I refuse." When you went to the northwest, my mother's family also gave some help, although it was not as much as the Song family, but in the end, it was considered a heart, and I couldn't offend my relatives. ”
Yang Dong turned over and hugged his daughter-in-law, "What is there to worry about, just say that you can't be the master, no one between your in-laws and me asks you about your attitude, even I can't be Brother Yu's master."
You don't see it, my father and mother are wholeheartedly comparing Lan'er's conduct, looking for a daughter of a big family to enter the door, so as to standardize the rules of the Hou Mansion, and don't think about it anymore. You just push it on my mom and dad. ”
"Nacheng, I'll explain this sentence, what if I retreat to the next best?"
"That's even more impossible, if the kung fu doesn't get home, it will really die, this is not a joke or a prevarication, Yang Jiaerlang can't marry if he doesn't have skills, this is a family rule, if the boy body is broken, he will really die."
Yang Dong is telling the truth, the Yang family is a military general, starting with military merits, this body must be solid, at the beginning of the family, the ancestors in order to restrain their sons from blind confidence and arrogance, only set this rule, but also because their exercises are too domineering.
"It turned out to be true, I always thought it was to restrain my sons and daughters for fear that they would not learn well."
"There is this factor, but it is really because the exercises are overbearing and difficult to practice, so not everyone in the Yang family dares to practice this exercise, you see that the children of our family dare not touch women, and this is the reason, the Yang family's sons and daughters do not believe in evil, and they are really dead."
Xu Shi clutched his chest and was startled, "I know, don't worry, I will definitely handle it." ”
"Well, go to sleep, go back and bring some thick gifts, I'll go with you and I'll be done."
Yang Dong yawned and fell asleep.
After more than two months of busyness and looking at each other, in the end, the old marquis and the old lady fell in love with the girl of the Wang family, more atmospheric, more refreshing, and doing things very quickly, and her complexion is also one of the best.
After inquiring from the side, the second elder also felt very good, but the girl of the Li family fell into a good position, although it was not bad, but her body was a little weak, which always made people feel at ease, and the old lady did not dare to take risks, so she discussed it with the old marquis again and again.
I even went to the farm to meet the third grandfather and other old people, and asked what I thought of the Wang family's daughter, it is said that it is quite good, it was originally chosen for Ziyan, but because I took a fancy to Qi Lingyun, I gave up.
In this way, the eldest daughter of the Wang family was decided, and Yang Yu's marriage was decided.
The second uncle and second aunt also came back, and this time they were also promoted, which can be described as a happy event.
The day was hot in July, the filial piety period was finally over, everyone cleaned the house, changed into beautiful summer clothes, and was busy everywhere, setting a good day to hold a ceremony for Song Zilan, the eldest lady of the Song family.
This is a big day for the Song family, and the ceremony is not a rare event, but there are not many who can hold the ceremony in front of the whole clan and all relatives, and it is generally done at home.
There are not many times such a grand event and ceremony, Gui Feng and Shishi are all run by their own families.
The list of guests has been notified half a month in advance, and the relatives and relatives who are valuable will be invited by their parents three days in advance.
The Yang family is the grandfather's family, and the old lady is the royal county lord, so naturally they have to be invited, and the Qi family is also a relative, and they are also invited, and Mrs. Qi and Mrs. Qi will come to the ceremony together.
Everything was almost ready, and even Zilan herself was ready.
I got up early in the morning, asked the maid to help bathe and change clothes, changed into a tie clothes, black short hexagram trousers, and vermilion edging, which was a collection of clothes. Green silk is scattered behind him like a waterfall, waiting for the ceremony to comb his hair.
The sisters surrounded her and came to the east room of the main courtyard, and she must be in the east room or the family temple to show solemnity and blessings.
She waited in the dressing room, waiting for the auspicious time to start.
The music began to play, and the sisters ran to peek, and Yi Lan peeked, "It's started, and the guests are all seated." ”
Song Zhengtian and Yang stepped forward to greet the guests, and after bowing to each other, they placed the guests in the viewing seats.
Today's guests are all female elders, including the old lady and two aunts of the Yang family, the old lady and Mrs. Qi of the Qi family, and the old lady and two daughters-in-law of the Cui family.
The guests were already seated, and Song Zhengtian was ready to open the ceremony, "Thank you for coming to the little girl's ceremony and blessing the little girl." ”
was preparing for the next step, and the little maid at the door sang the newspaper, "Grandpa Li has arrived, and Mama Li of Cining Palace has arrived." ”
Song Zhengtian was startled, looked at his wife and immediately stepped forward to accept the order.
And Zilan was also helped out by the maid and knelt on the ground to receive the order.
"Fengtian carries the emperor's edict and says, the daughter of the Song family has both virtue and ability, chastity and generosity, and a special imperial village outside the city is given, and the blessing and the coming-of-age ceremony are given."
"The Queen Mother's decree, the lord of Jingyi County is dignified and virtuous, and she will be rewarded with eight East Pearls, a thousand taels of gold, a number of cloths, and two sets of head and face jewelry, and a safe and happy life."
After the two finished reading the will one after another, Song Zhengtian and the others hurriedly thanked them.
"Mama has worked hard, Grandpa Li has worked hard, stay and have a cup of tea before leaving."
Song Zhengtian tentatively asked if he would like to stay and watch the little girl's ceremony.
"The miscellaneous family wants to have a cup of tea before leaving, the emperor said, let the miscellaneous family go back and study hard, what kind of girl and etiquette."
Gonggong Li responded with a smile.
"The queen mother ordered the old slave to bless the county lord instead of her, and the old slave bothered the adults with a glass of water."
Mama Li is very kind and kind to explain her intentions.
"Thank you for the emperor's blessing, thank you for the queen mother's blessing, this is the face of the little girl."
Song Zhengtian thanked him again, and then respectfully invited the two to take a seat, and then the two of them resigned and sat behind the county lord to show respect for everyone.
The salute began, and the praiser walked out first, today's praiser invited Qi Lingyun, who is her best friend, and will also be her sister-in-law in the future, so it is most suitable to ask her to be a praiser.
Qi Lingyun washed his hands with a bowl and took his place on the west steps, Zilan slowly stepped forward, went to the center of the venue, facing south, and saluted the guests. Then he sits facing west, that is, he kneels on the seat of the retainer.
Qi Lingyun stepped forward to comb Zilan's hair, and then placed the comb on the south side of the mat.
At the beginning of the year, Zilan knelt and sat in the east, the maid presented Luo Pa and the hair flute, and Song Zhengtian stepped forward and chanted loudly and said: "The auspicious day of the month is the beginning of the Yuan service." Abandon your young ambitions, and become virtuous. Shou Kao Weiqi, Jieer Jingfu. ”
Kneel down and comb her daughter's hair, get up, and return to her original position.
Qi Lingyun gently straightened Zilan's hairpipe, and Zilan got up and saluted the guests one by one to express her gratitude.
One by one, the guests came forward to congratulate him and bless him.
