Chapter 407: Ancestral Hall

Early in the morning, before dawn, Song Yixiao got up, and when he was grooming and dressing up, he ordered the maid to wake up Jian Qingyue and clean up. However, because Lu Zhuo'er was not from the Jian family, she came to be a guest, Song Yi smiled and asked the bell to guard her, and today she will let this sister stay in the Jiangzhu Pavilion and not take it out.

After the mother and daughter got it done, they went to the flower hall, Jian Xubai was already waiting here, and the couple had some breakfast casually, and then took their daughter to the main hall.

They arrived early, and there was no one in the synagogue.

But everyone knows what day it is, so it didn't take long for everyone to gather - Song Yixiao noticed that Jian Limiao had a joy on his face that couldn't be concealed, and looked at his family, including Lu Zhuo'er, his eyes were extremely kind.

It seems that this uncle, no, the father-in-law after today, although he kept his promise to the lord of Yishui, never married after losing his wife, and didn't even accept a maid in the room, in the end, he also hoped to have an heir to inherit Huan's knees.

"We can't go in later, have you let the maid decorate the snacks with you?" Jian Pingyu was the last to arrive, he didn't bring the beautiful woman today, thinking that it was because the concubine was not suitable for an occasion like today. After he arrived, he didn't say a few words, and then took the lead and walked towards the ancestral hall.

The Gao family led his daughter-in-law and concubine to Song Yixiao and reminded, "I don't know how long they will stay in the ancestral hall, let's just pay it back, Qingyue is young, I'm afraid I'll be hungry when the time comes." ”

Song Yi thanked her with a smile and said, "I just asked her nurse to pack a few pastries." ”

Gao nodded, and then led the ladies to follow the team in front.

The ancestors of the Jian family are very cold, it is said that they only have three or five acres of thin fields, Jian Pingyu suffered from troubled times when he was young, and his life can be imagined, so naturally he has no time to manage the ancestral hall.

Later, he came out of school, and married Mrs. Yan Guotai, who was born in Jinxiutang, and after getting Mrs. Yan Guotai's rich marriage, he began to renovate the ancestral house and ancestral hall.

Now this ancestral hall is not very far from the ancestral house of the Jian family, out of the gate, walk along the long bluestone street in the town, and you can see the outline of the ancestral hall at the entrance of the town.

At this time, the genius was bright, there were many lights inside and outside the ancestral hall, and there were many clansmen gathered at the door, talking about it in twos and threes - Song Yixiao listened to a few ears, she grew up in the imperial capital, and had never been to other places, listening to the local accent at the moment, it was inevitable to feel that she was aggrieved, but the northern dialect did not change as much as the south, and even guessed and guessed, and could roughly understand that most of them were talking about this succession today.

Some people are also talking about her, and the Tao is "good-looking, no wonder it is Mrs. Fate, but I don't know the geometry of the marriage, compared with Mrs. Yan Guotai back then, who is more and who is less".

Song Yixiao roughly understood this sentence, and was very speechless: Jian Pingyu would be a poor boy, and he needed to count on his wife's makeup to be returned; Jian Xubai will be a serious royal relative, do you still need to calculate other people's marriages when marrying a wife?

She couldn't help but have a bad impression of the Jian family for a while, but then she thought that Jian Xubai was the first time in her life to go back to Sangzi, and she had no friendship with these people.

He only glanced at those people, and then he stopped Jian Qingyue and didn't speak.

But this action has already let them know that although what they are saying is vernacular, Song Yixiao may not understand all of them, so he couldn't help but walk away.

"These people haven't even been to Liaozhou City a few times in their lives, let alone a noble person like you from the imperial capital." Gao Shi noticed it, and also helped to reprimand a few clansmen who were still probing their brains at Song Yixiao's mother and daughter, and said, "So if you are curious, please bear with me if you are offended!" ”

"Auntie's words are outside, they are all from her own family." Song Yi smiled and hurriedly said, "Speaking of which, we are not filial, and we haven't come back to see my grandfather all these years, so we are estranged from our clansmen." ”

He also said that over the years, he had to take care of Jian Pingyu Yunyun because of the big house, and Gao listened to it comfortably, and he was humble again and again: "We are a big house, and this is all as it should be." Besides, if you don't have two or three rooms to serve the country in the imperial capital, your family will not have the momentum you have now. ”

The two of them were polite, and Jian Pingyu over there had already said something similar to several elders in the clan, so he went into the ancestral hall - the rules at this time were that women could not enter the ancestral hall at all except for saying goodbye to their mother's ancestors when they got married, and comforting their husband's ancestors when they entered the door.

So at present, all the men with status in the clan from old to young have followed in, but the female dependents such as Gao and Song Yixiao can only wait outside.

Song Yixiao looked at the gradually brightening sky, touched her daughter's little face that was cooled by the night dew, and suddenly thought of something: the men have all entered the ancestral hall, and their female dependents can only stay outside, so what next?

She whispered to Gao, "Auntie, what are we going to do here?" ”

Gao was stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously looked at the current daughter-in-law of the Jian family and Jian Yimin's wife, Miao: "What do you say the old lady is doing here?" ”

Miao Shi said blankly when he heard this: "The old lady has been talking to the three masters for the past two days, and the daughter-in-law has not received any instructions. ”

Well, they're just here to wait?

Gao was very embarrassed and smiled at Song Yi: "This is ours, didn't we ask the old lady clearly-otherwise we wouldn't use it?" ”

"It's good to be here, I haven't seen the Jian family ancestral hall yet." Song Yi smiled and said, "Speaking of such an important matter, it is not appropriate for us to eat tea at the ancestral house." ”

Gao Shi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and was about to say something, but a well-dressed woman next to him came up and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, is this Mrs. Yan Guo?" ”

The woman asked about Gao's family, but her eyes kept looking at Song Yixiao's mother and daughter.

"It's Ah Xu's daughter-in-law." Gao nodded at her and introduced to Song Yixiao, "This is the daughter-in-law of the old lady's cousin, speaking of your sixth aunt, her maiden name is Lian." ”

Song Yi smiled and hurriedly blessed her, and said politely: "It turned out to be the sixth aunt!" ”

also asked Jian Qingyue to give a gift to his aunt.

Lian Shi hurriedly said: "I'm a folk woman, how can I afford it?" ”

She took off the bracelet and gave it to Jian Qingyue as a meeting gift, but looking at Jian Qingyue's ornament given by the Queen Mother, she couldn't help but feel that she couldn't take it, "We don't have any good things in the Zhuang family, let the eldest lady take it and play with it." ”

Song Yixiao greeted her a few words - finally perfunctory the sixth aunt, and a few clansmen next to her who were similar to the sixth aunt probably felt that she was not as unattainable as she looked, and they also gathered around to talk.

After saying these words for a long time, before I knew it, the ancestral hall was scattered, Jian Pingyu walked out a little unhappy, looked at the female relatives chattering outside, and said lightly: "The ancestral hall is heavy, why is it so noisy?" ”

He has a self-respecting identity, and it is impossible for him to reprimand a group of junior women in public, so he can just say such a sentence.

But many men who came out after him didn't have this taboo, and for a while, the villagers scolded everywhere, and they all pulled their daughters-in-law, and retired with Jian Pingyu while counting.

Song Yi couldn't help but feel very embarrassed when she saw this situation, Shen Qimo didn't come over today because of her identity, she gave birth to a son, so she let Jian Yiyou directly carry it in.

The only visitors outside were their mother and daughter—although the clansmen had taken the initiative to talk to her, and now she was embarrassed to be like this.

Fortunately, Jian Limiao and Jian Xubai, the fresh father and son, had already come out, seeing this situation, Jian Limiao snorted lightly with his hands in his hands, and said, "Dad said that the ancestral hall is not allowed to be noisy, what are you not clean in your mouth?" Are there any rules?! ”

Jian Xubai walked up to Song Yixiao, nodded at her, and said, "Wait, tired?" Qing Yue comes, daddy hugs. ”

Song Yi smiled and saw that they were singing and harmonizing for themselves, so she breathed a sigh of relief, picked up Jian Qingyue, and handed her to her husband's arms.

Returning to the ancestral house in this way, the re-designated Sanfang people gave Jian Pingyu tea again - in the ancestral hall, Jian Xubai was passed to the Sanfang in front of the ancestors and clansmen, and this time it was at home to determine each other's names again.

After the tea, Jian Pingyu was about to tell everyone to disperse, Jian Likuang was angry, and suddenly said: "Ah Xu is now under the name of the third brother, and the third brother should be disciplined well!" When we came out of the ancestral hall, what kind of mess was it outside! Speaking of which, Ah Xu's daughter-in-law is still the daughter of Jiangnan Tang, and after the six valves in the sea, the rules when she is in her mother's house are definitely no problem. It's only been a few years since I entered the door, and I'm used to being like this! ”

Song Yixiao's face changed when she heard this, although she was not rare to the Song family at all, but Jian Likuang's words were turning around and scolding her mother's family for being uneducated!

She was ashamed and angry, and was about to open her mouth to refute, but Jian Xubai, who was sitting on top of her, turned her head and gave her a look, signaling her to be calm.

Sure enough, Jian Likuang's voice fell, Jian Limiao had already put down the tea bowl, and said unhurriedly: "There are no outsiders here, why should the second brother bluff?" Who doesn't know that the ancestors of our Jian family couldn't even eat back then-there is a way that only when Cang Liao is real can we know etiquette, and our Jian family has only been able to eat enough food from the He family to the current one? Except for our branch, the rest of the clansmen are slow to talk about being officials, but they don't even have a show! ”

"Such a lintel is just fooling Li Shu in the same countryside!"

"What rules are you talking about?!"

"The second brother's words, but he also forgot his roots!"

Speaking of the last sentence, Jian Limiao showed a smile that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, and her slightly sickly eyebrows were full of sarcasm.

Looking at Jian Likuang's gloomy face, Song Yixiao lowered her head and hid the smile at the corner of her mouth: Is this former father-in-law afraid that she will not get along well with the new father-in-law? So rushing to give Jian Limiao the opportunity to buy his daughter-in-law?

"Six valves in the sea...... Hey! Jian Likuang was blocked by Jian Limiao and had nothing to say—in fact, it wasn't all speechless, and it was also because Jian Pingyu, who was at the top, had been looking at him with disapproval in his eyes—paused, and he turned his head away and didn't say anything more.

Jian Pingyu sighed as if nothing had happened: "Disperse!" ”

After a pause, "If there is anything, let's talk about it in the evening!" ”
