Chapter 145: Tea Ceremony
The next morning, Sizhen was woken up by the thrush who came in to serve her to get up.
She didn't expect that she would sleep so deeply, she rolled over and sat up, her eyes still half-closed, and she reached out to ask someone to dress her as before.
Because she was really tired from tossing yesterday, she was not fully awake at the moment, her eyes were half-closed, and she looked more and more frowning, her eyes were like autumn water, and her every move was lazy.
Sun Yanling stood aside and saw her coquettish appearance, if it wasn't too late, I really wanted to press her back to the bed and toss again.
Xu suddenly remembered what happened last night, and Sizhen hurriedly hugged his hands to his chest.
When he touched the underwear on his body, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing Sizhen's appearance, Thrush naturally understood what she was worried about, and reminded her in her ear: "Princess, it was you who let Bailing and the slave maid come in to serve last night......
She blushed and whispered, "The forehead master personally scrubbed it for you, and the movements are very gentle...... At this time, you have to bathe and change your clothes to give tea to the old lady to recognize your relatives, and you also have to worship the Bodhisattva and go to the ancestral hall to offer incense to your ancestors...... I've been waiting for you. ”
Si Zhen was completely awakened by this spirit.
I saw that the morning light was bright, the dragon and phoenix candles had already burned out, Sun Yanling was dressed neatly, standing in front of the bed and looking at her with a smile on her face, with an ambiguous expression.
It is customary for the new daughter-in-law to offer tea to the elders. On the second day of the wedding, it's okay to be a little late, but it's too late......
Sizhen was a little weak-hearted, and when she saw the maids holding her breath next to her, she felt that their expressions were a little deliberately pretending to be unaware.
It's all to blame on the bad guy who tossed her over and over again last night, causing her to be laughed at so late.
I don't know where he learned so many tricks!
Sizhen secretly blamed Sun Yanling in her heart, and blamed herself for not being promising, but she didn't resist his tricks.
She took a breath and put on her coat and got out of bed, and while putting on her clothes, she asked, "Do you want to go to Anheyuan to serve tea first?" ”
just spoke directly, and there was no title, and the thrush color changed, for fear that the forehead master would be unhappy because of this.
saw Sun Yanling looking at Sizhen's sleepy-eyed delicate appearance, and said gently, "You can sleep for a while...... I asked Lily to go and tell her mother that we would arrive later, as long as we didn't delay the tea ceremony in the hall. ”
He looked at Sizhen, who was a little flushed, put his hand into a fist against his mouth, held back the little reverie in his heart, and said with a smile: "I'll go to the study first, after you bathe and change clothes, we will have breakfast together, and then we will go to my mother's." ”
"It's late, so don't have breakfast, just use some snacks." Sizhen said and instructed the magpie: "Let people prepare some snacks and bring them." ”
After Sizhen hurriedly finished washing, he changed into a bright red dress, combed his hair twice, and wore a gilded filigree and emerald gem head.
Although it is not as gorgeous as the phoenix crown of yesterday's wedding, it also looks very beautiful and gentle.
Sizhen stood in front of the mirror and looked at it several times.
Seeing Sizhen nervously looking left and right in the palm-sized mirror to see if her own jewelry and hair were crooked, Sun Yanling finally couldn't help but say: "No need to take a photo, it's very neat and beautiful." ”
Sizhen gave him a blank look.
She is still resentful of what Sun Yanling tossed her about last night.
Although, she seems to like it later, but at this time, she must show reserve.
Sun Yanling smiled, helped her sip the two broken hairs hanging from her ears, motioned for Bailing to pour her tea, and took out a few pieces of dim sum from the food box and put them on the small table.
Bai Ling saw Sizhen eating and drinking comfortably, so he reminded her: "These things are all prepared by the slave maid, I am afraid that you will get up too late in the morning and you will be hungry." ”
Sizhen then wiped off the crumbs of the dim sum at the corner of her lips, took a piece, and asked Sun Yanling seriously: "I eat this rose sesame fresh milk roll that tastes good, do you want a piece of it?" ”
Sun Yanling didn't stretch out his hand, pointed to his own lips with his finger, and said softly, "You feed me." ”
Bai Ling blushed, and hurriedly lifted the curtain and went down.
Seeing that Sun Yanling just didn't stretch out his hand, Sizhen stuffed a piece of fresh milk roll into his mouth and said viciously: "Be careful, don't choke." ”
Sun Yanling elegantly ate the piece of fresh milk roll in a few bites, and then said, "It's not enough, I want you to feed me." ”
Sizhen took a while to understand what he meant, gritted his teeth and said, "Forehead, are you more respectful?" ”
Sun Yanling looked at her innocently: "You and I are husband and wife, should we respect each other like ice?" ”
"After respecting each other for a long time, it has slowly become ice, cold ice, cold ice, I think, the princess definitely doesn't want you and me, it's also a couple like that, right?" He said unhurriedly.
Sizhen glanced at him hatefully, and felt that he had some truth in it, so he finally poked his head out, kissed him on the lips, and then asked, "Are you still satisfied?" ”
Of course I'm not satisfied, but it's better to do this step by step, so as not to frighten her.
He looked at Sizhen with a somewhat satisfied expression, and smiled in a hoarse voice: "Satisfied, if you want to go on like this, the princess will definitely satisfy this king night after night!" ”
It was obviously daylight, but he said that at night, it was clearly something else.
Sizhen glanced at him fiercely with a red face, and scolded lightly: "Shameless! ”
Sun Yanling was in a good mood and laughed.
**
According to the rules of the court, after the princess got married, she moved to the Xinci Mansion, but this mansion was in the name of the princess, although the in-laws and the forehead lived here, the real owner was the princess. Nominally speaking, the marriage of the princess is not called marrying but marrying, and for the forehead, it cannot be called a wife and is still the master, and this is still a moment, and the hierarchy is clearly reflected.
Moreover, as far as the title is concerned, Sizhen, the princess of Heshuo, is roughly equivalent to the first level of the county king, and Sun Yanling, the forehead, is only Bei Zigong, and her status is inferior to that of the princess.
Unlike ordinary couples who regard their husbands as their preciousness and their husbands as their heavens, the situation of the forehead and the princess in life is that the wife is noble and the husband is honored, as the folk proverb says, it is the husband and wife who go to bed and the monarch who gets out of bed. In general, the daughter-in-law kowtows to her in-laws to serve tea, but in the Shang family, even the in-laws have to perform the courtesy of the monarch when they see their daughter-in-law.
On weekdays, except for the first nine days of the wedding, the princess cannot live in the same room with the princess, but opens another room outside the door to live alone, and must dress neatly to the princess's residence every morning and evening, and greet the princess outside the curtain under the steps. The princess ordered to enter, and the eunuch or grandmother said: "Please come in, the princess." Forehead to enter. If it comes out of the curtain, "Please get up", then the forehead has to turn around and withdraw, and dare not enter without permission.
Even, according to the etiquette system, the princess and the forehead are not allowed to eat and drink at the same table.
Under such rules and etiquette, although Sizhen was much later when she arrived at Anheyuan, Sun Yanling's grandmother Mrs. Qian, mother Lin, uncle, aunt, third uncle and three aunts, brothers and sisters-in-law, cousins, nieces, even if they were angry in their hearts, they couldn't show it.
In addition to the old lady and the Lin family, there are also Sun Yanling's brother-in-law Sun Yanji and sister-in-law Ma, Mama Qin has given four chastity and arranged for them to live in the princess's mansion, and everyone else lives outside Xihuamen, not far from the princess's mansion, in a three-entry courtyard, which is the old house of the Sun family in the capital.
But on the day of the confession, these people all came to the princess's mansion early in the morning, and waited for Sizhen to recognize their relatives in the hall of the old lady's Anhe Courtyard.
has a princess as a relative, and it is also a very glamorous thing to say it on the face, besides, the gift of the princess to recognize her relatives will not be light.
It's just that they didn't expect that this wait was from the beginning of the hour (nine o'clock) to the end of the hour (11 o'clock), although no one said anything, but their faces were not good-looking.
The old lady and the Lin family sat at the top, Sun Yanling's eldest aunt Zhao and the third aunt Li sat on the Lin side, and then the sister-in-law Jin, several cousins, and his father's aunt Liu, stood behind the Lin family.
On the other side are the eldest uncle Sun Bao, the third uncle Sun Hu, as well as the cousin Sun Yanji and several cousins.
Sun Yanji already has two sons, seven-year-old Brother Cheng is quite honest, and Brother Ming, who is only three-year-old, has long lost patience and writhed in the arms of his nursing mother.
The old lady frowned and said unhappily, "Send someone to urge again." So many people are waiting for the two of them, it's so unusual! ”
Lin was also a little unhappy in her heart, but she and the old lady had never dealt with each other, and she felt sorry for her son, so she naturally opened her mouth to defend it: "Erlang asked people to come later. Yesterday was the night of candles in their cave room, and the newlywed Yan'er inevitably got up late, and asked her mother-in-law to be considerate. ”
The old lady snorted lightly: "Is this still called late?" From early in the morning to now, my wife and I are hungry. Although our Sun family is not a scholarly disciple, there are no such rules. Not to mention that when a few of you entered the door, it was Dalang's daughter-in-law, and she also came early in the morning to serve tea after passing the door. ”
The Kim family, who was named and praised, lowered his head and looked respectful.
Lin glanced up at her mother-in-law and said lightly: "Erlang's daughter-in-law is a princess, according to the rules, we should all kneel to greet her, this is the compassion of Her Royal Highness the princess, so we waited in the hall." ”
When she was a daughter-in-law, she was not less tormented by the old lady, and now her son can marry someone who is satisfied, although she is also a little strange in her heart, but she doesn't want others to talk about it.
Li is the niece of the old lady, and she has always been the only old lady who looks at the horse, and when she heard what the Lin family said, she smiled and complained softly: "Although we are the princess of the royal family, we are the elders in the end, not to mention that the old lady is also there, what is the matter of waiting so much?" ”
Lin glanced at Li and said softly: "Let's not say that that one is a princess, we are elders, we should also be considerate of Erlang, right?" Who of these men in the capital did not get married until they were twenty-five years old? Erlang is a heavy love, in order to wait for Her Royal Highness the princess over the years, there has never been a connecting room, and the newlyweds are late for a while, and those of us who are elders should understand. ”
What else did the Li family want to say, Sun Yanji said impatiently: "Don't quarrel, Erlang's daughter-in-law is the princess Heshuo who was personally crowned by the Empress Dowager, offended, one sentence can make us lose our heads, this has to be changed in the palace, the princess asked you to wait for a few hours, who dares to complain?" ”
The old lady and the others were choked speechless.
Sun Yanji's words hit the void of their hearts.
That's right, people are princesses, and ordinary people want to do the courtesy of kings and ministers when they see it, but now they only wait for two hours, and they dare to complain, this is going to spread to the palace, and they think that the people of the Sun family don't take the royal family in their eyes, then, but they are going to cause trouble!
