Chapter 158, the beating of the Queen Mother
Although Yan Yan does not have the memory of the original owner's New Year's ceremony, she has the impression that the original owner participated in the New Year's ceremony of other young ladies of the family, and knows that ordinary young ladies of the family, in addition to inviting their own handkerchiefs, will also invite the female relatives of these families to participate.
The praiser, the celebrant, and the guest of honor are also selected from these guests, and they are generally served by the princess.
Also, the musical instruments are much more complicated than this, blowing, playing and singing, but Yan Yan looked at today's guests, except for the Ma family and a few elders in the clan, the rest is the Yun family, and the Yun family only came Yun Ze and Jing husband and wife.
The Ma family is very complete, the first to come is Ma's mother, followed by Ma's elder brother Ma Jun, which is now Dingxi Hou, followed by Ma's younger brother and brother-in-law.
After these elders took their seats, Pang Zi and the others also walked out one after another, Yan Yan was the last to go out, and then, they saw Yan Bin and Yan Shan come in with Lu You and the cousins of the Ma family.
After all the elders were seated, Yan Peng stood in the middle of the hall from the door, glanced at Yan Yan slightly apologetically before speaking, and then turned to the guests in the field, "Today's little girl's year, I have all my relatives and friends to take the time to come, Yan is very grateful." ”
After speaking, Yan Peng bowed to the guests in the audience.
Then, Ma's sister Ma Jingshu stood up, she was acting as a praiser today, seeing her out of the ranks, Sanqi stood in front of her with a basin of warm water in a copper basin, and Ma Jingshu stood to the west after taking a cuess of her hand.
At this time, Yan Yu came out in a simple black dress and red dress, stood in the middle of the mat, facing the south, bowed to everyone, and knelt in the middle of the mat facing west after finishing, Ma Jingshu combed her hair for her, Ma Jingyan stood next to her with a tray, and there were three kinds of hairpins, hairpins, and hairpins in the tray in turn.
After Ma Jingshu combed her hair, Pang Zi stood up as the guest of honor, and washed his hands first, and then walked to Yan Yu to pin her hair, and said a few words, what "Lingyue auspicious day, the beginning of the Yuan service, abandon Er Youzhi, Shun Er Chengde... Wait, after the end, everyone said a few words of congratulations to Yan Yu, and Yan Yu returned the gift and went into the house to change into a plain skirt and came out.
Yan Yu, who wore a skirt, needed to bow formally to his parents this time, thanking his parents for their nurturing grace, and after worshipping, he sat facing the east, Pang Zi washed his hands again, Ma Jingyan sent the tray over, Pang took the hairpin, Ma Jingshu changed Yan Yu's hairstyle, and Pang Zi pinned the hairpin for Yan Yu while reading the eulogy.
After Yan Yu, who didn't put on the hairpin, saluted everyone, he returned to the east room and changed into a curly deep coat and came out, this time he knelt down and bowed to the guests and the elders present, and after the salute, Pang and Ma Jingshu still changed into hairpins, and later went back to the house to change into a gorgeous Yunjin wide-sleeved dress.
After this big ceremony, Aunt Rong stood up on behalf of the Queen Mother and said a few words, "The etiquette is ready, the moon is auspicious, the Queen Mother gives the word Er, Lan Hui, taken from Lan Xinhui, Confucius once said, 'Zhilan was born in a deep valley, not to be unpopular, a gentleman is self-cultivation and morality, and does not change his temperament for poverty and selfishness. Remember. ”
Yan Yan heard this with great meaning, because Confucius's original words were "do not change the festival because of poverty", and there was no word "selfish", these two words were specially added by the Queen Mother.
This shows that the Queen Mother knew that Yan Yu was going to marry into the Lu family, so she specially knocked Yan Yu a few words, in fact, to put it bluntly, she was beating Yan Peng and Ma.
No, most of the people present heard that something was wrong, Yan Peng's face changed color, and even Yan Yu himself noticed it, but there was no way, the other party was the Queen Mother, so she had to grit her teeth secretly, and honestly knelt down and replied respectfully: "Although Yan Yu is not sensitive, dare not sleep all night!" ”
"Child, remember, from now on, you are an adult, you need to be filial piety, next to kindness, gentle and upright, frugal and humble, not overflowing, not arrogant, no deception, the ancient precept is the style, you keep it." Yan Peng said.
Yan Yu bowed his head and bowed again, "Although my son is not sensitive, I dare not admit it." ”
Seeing this, Aunt Rong nodded and took her leave.
At this point, the whole process of the New Year's ceremony is over, Yan Tong and a few people accompanied Yan Yu back to the room to change clothes, and Ma led everyone to the flower hall next to it, and a few tables of banquets were set up in the flower hall.
It was Yan Peng, who walked to Yan Yan's side after greeting several wives and uncles, "Child, uncle... ”
"Uncle, I've already let it go, you can let it go too, my uncle has also seen my husband, he has grown again, right?" Yan Yan interrupted his uncle's words with a smile, because the distress and apology in Yan Peng's eyes were too obvious, Yan Yan was worried that he would not be able to control his public rudeness.
"My niece is better, cheap kid." Yan Peng said proudly and glanced at Lu You.
"Uncle, he has his goodness, you will know it slowly in the future, in short, I am more and more satisfied with this family business, and I am more and more content, my life is my own life, not for outsiders to see, only I know best whether it is suitable or not." Yan Yan stepped forward and grabbed Yan Peng's arm and coquettishly.
"Okay, uncle will rest assured with your words, child, you are a person of great wisdom, and whoever marries you is the most blessed person." Yan Peng touched Yan Yan's head.
"Master, how many of your uncles and nephews can't be said after the guests have dispersed?" Ma walked over and glanced at her husband.
"Got it, I'll go." After Yan Peng finished speaking, he touched Yan Yan's head again, and then walked into the middle of the group of male guests.
Because the guests except Yun Zejing and Lu You, the rest were all Ma's maiden relatives and friends, so this meal was not strictly divided into rooms, but only separated by a screen in the flower hall.
Yan Yan is at the same table with Yan Yu Yan Tong and the girls from the Ma family, and Lu You is at the same table with Yan Zhang, Yan Bin, Ma Yue and other boys, Yan Yan is better here, she is quite familiar with the girls of the Ma family.
Rao is like this, and these cousins here also pulled Yan Yan to ask her about her married life, asked her about the origin of her cakes, asked her about the books she liked to read, and so on.
And because Yan Yan was suspicious of Ma and Yan Yu, he was naturally reluctant to entertain these relatives and friends of the Ma family.
While Yan Yan responded to these questions without a match, Lu You on the other side of the screen was also impatient.
The main reason is that there are so many unfamiliar faces around, but these people still like to ask questions around him, so he is inevitably nervous, and when he is nervous, he will not be able to open his mouth, and he has no ideas, but these people still refuse to let him go, or what they want to see is his ugliness.
Fortunately, Yan Zhang and Yan Bin are more sensible and know how to defend him, not only blocking a lot of questions for him, but also blocking a lot of wine for him.
After the meal, Yan Yan was about to say goodbye, but Ma kept her.
