Liuli then exited the door, and when she arrived outside the courtyard gate, she didn't notice a hint of a smile.

Qi's golden silk butterfly should have been seen by many people, I don't know why I chose this kind of thing that is easy to show the horse's feet for reward? That day, Huanhua said that she had seen it with her own eyes, but she didn't bother to ask, and she would see her another day, but she had to remember to find out the truth.

The Yu family caught her and asked about the origin of the golden silk butterfly, I'm afraid it's going to do it, I don't know where she will choose the Qi family to fight?

She sucked her hand and wrapped her cloak tighter.

As soon as the new year passes, Chinese New Year's Eve arrives in the blink of an eye.

On the twenty-sixth day of the year, Qian Changsheng's family sent the ritual process of worshipping the ancestors, and reminded Liuli to fast for three days. In the twenty-eighth year of the year, Yu sent someone to send a set of clothes for each of the four seasons and four pairs of shoes and socks.

In the morning of the twenty-ninth year ushered in another snow, Liuli got up when Mama Li was sleeping soundly, Liuli ate breakfast, and asked Rui'er to pour her share of food and feed the cat. When Mama Li got up and saw that the basin was empty, she made a fuss under the eaves of the porch, and whipped the laurel and begonia with rattan sticks, scolding them for being lazy and bullying her.

Liuli was eating on the side, and when she saw this, she sneered and entered the room.

She beckoned Rui'er in, looked out the window and said, "What do you think of these two girls?" ”

Rui'er thought for a while and said, "The slave has been looking at it for a few days, except for being honest, there is no major problem for the time being." ”

Liuli nodded, "Then go and prepare two stronger hemp ropes, I'll use them at night." ”

Rui'er was stunned for a moment, Liuli whispered a few words in front of her, she opened her eyes wider, and after looking at her for a long time, she was overjoyed and said, "Okay!" Slave and maid go and prepare now! ”

Early in the morning of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Shuangxi Ruier waited for Liuli to bathe and change clothes, and at sunrise, two grandmothers with both children came to take Liuli to the main courtyard.

When the ancestor worship ceremony was scheduled, when Liuli Mao was walking near the main courtyard gate, there were a few salutes in front of him, and several stewards hurried to the direction of the gate, it turned out that the county lord of Chunyang had arrived.

Liuli entered the Anxi Hall, the heavy snow fell for a day and night and then stopped, although not as spectacular as the previous time, but also three or four inches deep, in order to entertain guests, the house dispatched a soft chariot, one by one lined up under the porch. Several lords and ladies went to the front to greet the guests, the old ladies and old ladies sat in the hall, and the ladies of each house were coming one after another, and people were coming and going.

In a few moments, a few soft chariots fell in front of the steps, when the first top of the chariot was lifted, the mothers-in-law first helped out Yu's, Yu then smiled and turned back, and then pulled out a young woman in palace clothes surrounded by beads.

Someone under the corridor quickly came in and reported: "The county lord has arrived!" ”

The old lady pointed out: "Quick! Please come in! ”

Before the words fell, the county lord of Chunyang was surrounded and came in, this was the first time Liuli saw her, at first glance, she also felt that what Mama Li said that day was really true, she should be twenty-five or sixteen years old, but her skin was like a peach blossom, and her body was like a girl, and then she had the kindness of Aunt Su between her words and smiles, but she was more elegant than her, and her actions were like the grace of the grandmother Xie, but there was more momentum as a royal family, which was not the style of these women in her own house.

The people waiting in the small cross-courtyard have all come over today, and Liuli Yuguang glanced at Mama Li behind her, only to see her staring at Chunyang with an excited expression, if it weren't for the large number of people, I was afraid that I would have rushed forward to offer courtesy.

Chunyang entered the main hall, and when the old lady saw it, she immediately greeted her: "My son! Chunyang also hugged her emotionally: "Grandmother, Ying'er is here for you!" ”

Jingguo Gong is the biological mother of the saint, the queen mother's lineage, the Zongren Mansion has laws to follow, all the royal family, regardless of relatives and relatives, their wives and relatives from the official household, their children and maternal ancestors have restrictions on their contact with the ancestral family. So over the years, there have been very few meetings between flesh and blood.

After a brief remark, the front door came again to say "Auntie and Grandma are here", and Yu hurriedly persuaded the old lady to wipe her tears and asked Tingyu and Wanhua's biological mother Aunt Liu to greet her. Chunyang inquired about a group of cousins and sisters, and the old lady asked the young masters and girls in each room to come forward to meet in turn, and Chunyang gave a reward according to the concubine, and when they arrived at Yuhua Shuhua, they couldn't help but praise a few more words.

When Liuli stepped forward to meet her as a ninth girl, Chunyang looked at her carefully and said with a smile: "This is the little cousin who wants to recognize her ancestors and return to her ancestors today?" ”

The old lady said with a smile: "Not long after entering the house, I haven't had time to teach the good students, so I neglected the etiquette, so don't laugh at it." ”

Chunyang looked at Liuli again, and suddenly shook her head slowly, the old lady thought she was going to say something, and was about to speak, but she called the grandmother around her to reward her, in addition to a pair of heads with Min Hua and others, she actually added a pair of pure gold dragon and phoenix bracelets.

All the people were amazed in their hearts, but they pretended to be calm on their faces. Today's ceremonial book has been sent to all the mansions a few days earlier, and Liuli is also very puzzled, she is not a self-indulgent person, and she was only shocked when she was a child, but now that she is in contact at this moment, how can this county lord treat her differently?

"The fourth aunt and grandmother have always been okay, wow? The slave is here to greet you! ”

After Liuli thanked her, she was about to retreat, when Mama Li suddenly knelt down with a smile on her face and said to Chunyang.

On this occasion, this old thing dares to come out and jump?

Liuli stood aside and watched, the faces of the old lady and the others changed, and Chunyang frowned and said, "Mama Li? She raised her head to look at Yu, and Yu's dark face was forced to squeeze out a smile: "After Mama Li took her back to the house, she has been waiting by the side of the ninth girl, thinking that she was excited to see the county lord coming, so she asked for peace." ”

Chunyang didn't know what to say, so he tilted his chin and said, "Get up." Seeing that she got up happily and did not retreat, she said: "Now that you have returned to Hefu, you should change your past mistakes and serve the girl in a down-to-earth manner, and the old lady will not treat you badly." After that, he didn't care about her anymore, and said to the old lady with a smile: "The first class of cousins is really outstanding......

Mama Li couldn't intervene anymore, so she retreated stupidly.

Liuli quietly called Rui'er: "What did you want to do?" ”

Rui'er nodded: "It's all done." ”

As he was talking, Tingyu and Aunt Liu brought Wanhua in, Wanhua and Chunyang were close to each other, they used to play together when they were young, and they couldn't help crying with joy when they met. After seeing the salute, Chunyang pulled her to sit down and said, "You are thinner than before." Wanhua's face darkened slightly, and she forced herself to laugh.

The house was bustling with activity, and the people from Xihe Mansion also arrived, and it was the second master He Hongye and the second lady Yang who came. After the two sides met, the Yang family also gave the nephews New Year's money.

At the end of the hour, when Qian Changsheng came to report to the ancestral hall, everyone set off to the He family ancestral hall in the northeast of the mansion.

Chairs were set up in the ancestral hall, and everyone and visitors were seated on both sides of the hall. Qian Changsheng personally served as the incense master, after the incense, Liuli knelt in front of the ancestral tablet, and He Hongye of the second master of Xifu served as the master of ceremonies, read the sacrificial text and prayers, Liuli knelt three times and nine times in order to recognize the ancestors, and the old lady He named her surname with Danzhu.

Then Liuli presented tea to the old lady and the old lady, He Lingyu and the old lady of each room, and everyone also gave rewards, all of which were handed over to Rui'er to collect.

After He Hongye said "salute", Chunyang and the others got up to congratulate the old lady and others, and Huanhua rushed over all the way and grabbed Liuli's hands: "Ninth sister!" Liuli also smiled and said, "Eighth sister! Huanhua listened but was embarrassed, "Forget it, you still call me by my name, 'Eighth Sister' sounds awkward, because I always think that you are a sister and I am a sister." ”

Ruri smiled and nodded.

Next is the time for the family sacrifice in the house, Qian Changsheng and his family first led everyone back to the main courtyard in a soft chariot, Wanhua married someone and was a foreigner, and Chunyang was temporarily accompanied by her.

There are family sacrifices every year, relatively simple, and there is also a sacrifice before the beginning, which is read by the eldest son, He Xiangyi, and then sacrificed at the fasting table, and after kneeling three times.

When the guests were not in front of her, Liuli was still the concubine who was not entertained, and she did not become noble because she sacrificed to her ancestors. Yu and the others were in a hurry to accompany the guests, and took the lead in accompanying the old lady back to the main courtyard. The remaining grandchildren are at the end, and Ruri is one of them.

Liuli glanced at Huanhua and wanted to pull her to a secluded place to talk, but Yanhua came out of nowhere, and her waist was crossed on the road.

"Why are you two going?"

Liuli ignored her and said to Huanhua: "I'll ask you for teaching another day, don't pass it first." ”

Yan Hua glared at her back and snorted.

Chunyang got up after lunch to say goodbye, Wanhua left together, He Hongye was left by He Xiangyi and others to eat tea before leaving, and Yang and Yu went to the old lady to eat tea and talk.

Because they were not outsiders, the girls all stayed, and Yang said with interest: "That day, I went to Jinquan Temple to offer incense, and met the wife of the governor Song Bi Song, and talked about the children on both sides. ”

The old lady said, "Oh? Is Lord Song the same Lord Song who once served as the prefect of Shanxi? ”

Yang said: "The old lady has a good memory, it's him!" The little young master, nephew, and daughter-in-law of their family have also seen it, but they are a table of talents, and I heard that it is good to be knowledgeable, alas, but it is a pity that the girls of our Xihe Mansion are married, and the small ones are too young, so they have no chance to climb this family business. ”

Yang smiled at Yuhua and Shuhua slightly, and lowered his head to take a sip of tea.

Yuhua only did not see it, and walked behind the screen to ask Biyun to ask for evacuation. Shuhua sat quietly, a smile on her face like a mirror without the slightest fluctuation.

The old lady and others felt it, but because the goal was set on the draft, they could only divert the conversation.

"Lord Song is also a smooth career, he was appointed as a counselor at the age of less than fifty, and he will definitely have great achievements in the future." The old lady laughed.

Yang said: "Isn't the eldest brother also very smooth? Not long ago, he was appointed as a grain envoy, and in less than three or five days, he had already gathered 8,000 stone of grain. In my opinion, it won't be long before there will be another happy event in Donghe Mansion! ”

When Yu and the others heard this, they were all overjoyed, and the old lady smiled: "You girl, you have come to make my wife happy again, what did the saint summon the military department to say, how do you know?" ”

Yang pursed his lips and said: "I praised the old lady for her good memory, how did she forget that her nephew and daughter-in-law's maiden brother was on an errand in the military department?" ”rs
