Chapter 8, New Year's Festival
"Guanyin, you girl, it's only been a few months since you returned to Beijing, why did you become so sharp and sharp?" After returning from the ancestral hall and arriving at his residence, Gao immediately called his daughter to his side and lectured with a straight face.
Before in the ancestral hall, the eldest Sun Anye was obviously because he wanted to find the fault of his mother and son, and he didn't pay attention to it, and everyone knew about it, but there was no need to point it out, no one thought that the eldest grandson girl, who had always been well-behaved and sensible, would suddenly open her mouth to make up for him, which provoked the eldest grandson Anye until he left the ancestral hall, and his face was as black as the bottom of the pot.
Gao is a stepmother, she just passed the door, there are four ready-made children in the general's mansion who are not much younger than her, her stepmother is really not very good, Gao has received traditional education since childhood, good and virtuous, thinks that he is married, he wants his husband to sing with his wife, and it is natural to tolerate and accept everything in his husband's family.
The so-called husband is honorable and noble, that is, her husband is capable, her status is prominent, the family is prosperous, she is a woman, she married to the eldest grandson's family, and the honor and disgrace of the eldest grandson's family have become one with her, for the sake of the family's interests and harmony, for her husband not to be in a dilemma, she has acted like a man over the years, and has never had the heart of calculating and framing her stepson and stepdaughter in order to fight for power, even if she knows that her stepson does not like herself, she does not want to make too much trouble with the other party, although she will not blindly retreat without a bottom line, but she has never done anything that makes the other party unable to step down, Children are not allowed to participate directly in it.
"Auntie, I was wrong." The eldest grandson girl quietly glanced at her mother, and found that there was no smile on her face, obviously she was really angry, and immediately lowered her head, slowly rubbed to Gao's side, pulled her sleeve and whispered to admit her mistake.
"A-Niang, I don't think my sister is wrong, the third brother is really ......" Before Gao could speak, the eldest grandson Wuji on the side couldn't help but interject.
"Auxiliary, shut up, you have a jumpy temperament, usually your father is teaching you, A-Niang rarely says anything, but this A-Niang is going to teach you a lesson, you will be thirteen in the New Year, don't always be like a child who doesn't grow up, San Lang doesn't like us, but if we are like him, always-for-tat with him, then what will this family become? What will become of A-Niang and you? You must know that you and he are both surnamed eldest grandson, both of whom are the sons of your father, and you share weal and woe! The eldest grandson Wuji didn't finish a word, but was cut off by Gao's calm face.
Gao's rarely talk to his children so loudly, the eldest grandson Wuji, the eldest grandson, the second girl, and the Wuyi child were all frightened for a while, Gao saw that several children were frightened by themselves, and couldn't help but slow down his tone again: "Auxiliary, Xuantong, Guanyin, it's not that the mother is harsh and scolds you for no reason, it's true, what a family is most afraid of is the brother Xiao Wall......
The day of Laba Festival passed quietly in the different minds of all parties, on the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, Changsun Sheng came back in the dust, he returned home, the family naturally inevitably turned over the excitement, all the things that need to be prepared for the New Year at home Gao has been prepared, although she has not been in the capital for many years in the general's mansion to preside over the feed, but the wrist of this family is not put down at all, Changsun Sheng looked at a general's mansion of Nuoda was well organized, and his heart became more and more respectful and satisfied with his wife.
Changsun Sheng since the filial piety of his parents, after being transferred, the couple has not been in Beijing for several years, and now they have finally returned, the atmosphere in the general's mansion is very different from previous years, early in the morning of the first day of the new year, Changsun Sheng took his children and wives to the ancestral hall of the Changsun family, and all the clansmen of the eldest grandson lineage in Beijing sacrificed together.
The eldest grandson is a wealthy family in Luoyang, but because there are many disciples in the clan who are officials in Beijing, for this reason, the clansmen in Chang'an add up to nearly 100 people, except for the eldest grandson of the uncle's family has seen, she almost doesn't know the others, so many people's annual sacrifice is really not an easy thing, after the annual sacrifice, the juniors have to meet with the elders of the clan one by one, and the elders will give the juniors red envelopes, and after all the rituals are over, the time is almost noon, the big guys are getting up before dawn, and come to worship their ancestors on an empty stomach, By this time, it was all not a drop of water.
(Note, according to historical records, after Emperor Yang of Sui ascended the throne, he ordered people to build a palace in Luoyang, and moved the capital to Luoyang after the palace was completed. )
Tossed for such a long time, not to mention the young children, some frail girls and women are a little unable to hold on, the eldest grandson and little girl is not bad, when she came out of the ancestral hall, although her face is pale, her legs are a little staggering, but she can still avoid dragging the tired body with her mother on the sedan chair, she has been three years old, at the request of her father, although she has not practiced martial arts, every morning, noon and evening will spend some time walking around outside to exercise, although she is young, her body bones are quite good.
(Note, the eldest grandson girl is by no means a weak and sick beauty, although she is not as heroic as Princess Pingyang Zhao, but she can also ride a horse and shoot arrows when she is a teenager, otherwise it is impossible to be at the age of eighteen or nineteen, her husband has been fighting abroad for many years, she is alone, with her young son, running around with her husband while taking care of the family in an orderly manner, she died young, after marrying Li Shimin, she has endured too many things, and has given birth to a lot of children, and her body and mind are constantly consumed, so she is getting weaker and weaker.) )
Coming back from the ancestral hall, the eldest grandson girl went to eat with her parents, and before the meal, the eldest grandson Sheng said to a few young children: the red envelopes they received do not need to be handed over, they can be saved as their own private money, several children heard it, and immediately cheered, and after eating, everyone went back to their own yard to rest.
After the eldest grandson girl returned to her yard, she took out the red envelopes she received and asked the maids to count them, this count, she found that she had received a lot of red envelopes, including the eldest uncle and the second uncle, as well as several cousins in the clan, in addition, the cousins of the eldest uncle and the second uncle's family, several brothers of their own family also gave, their own brothers have given it, and the father and the mother are naturally indispensable.
