After the Chinese Valentine's Day, Erniang held another small party, and the Zhou family returned to peace.

Time is like flowing water, passing in the passage of a flower party and a poetry meeting of the ladies, and seeing it, it is getting closer and closer to the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Xue saw that he came to Erniang to discuss the festival, and only then stepped into the door, he saw Erniang's happy expression, as if he had heard some happy event, and when he saw Xue, the smile on his lips deepened, and after a simple salute, he was busy saying: "Sister-in-law came just in time!" ”

Xue Jian glanced at Siniang, who was also happy next to her, and asked curiously, "You seem to be very happy today?" ”

"Sister-in-law, come and see this." Erniang carefully took out a rosewood box from the couch behind her, which was about a foot square, and the four corners were wrapped with gold leaf, which was used to hold valuables.

The previous family background of the Zhou family, Xue Jian was clear, so he thought that it should be the second mother's newly acquired head and face, so he asked curiously: "What is good...... What's the good stuff? It's also worth your pleasure like this. ”

Without waiting for Erniang to answer, she had already reached out to take it, opened the box and saw that a tree branch was lying in it!

The box was padded with brocade, silky brocade, which showed the dryness of the branches.

Originally, Yukimi thought it was made of what kind of material, but when I thought about it, no, who would make it look so ugly? As jewelry, he has become a tree fairy in a god and ghost film! When it is an ornament, it is too small. Pick it up carefully with your hand, hungry, almost flashed into your hand!

Even if Xue Jian didn't know anything and held it up in front of his eyes, he wouldn't recognize that this was an ordinary, ordinary, ordinary, ordinary dry branch, and he would live two lives in vain!

I only heard Erniang say in a slightly proud tone: "This is the tree tree, it is a thousand-year-old tree branch from the three-star view of Phoenix Mountain in Hedong!" It is used to pray for the elders with incense, which is the most effective. ”

That's still a branch! Xue saw that he didn't understand, this ancient, of course, he is also an ancient. Why did the ancients think that burning a branch can pray for blessings, I really don't understand all kinds of things, in case when burning a branch, before I have time to pray, this branch will burn wood, isn't it in vain? Looking at the branch in his hand, Yukimi asked hesitantly, "This tree ...... Could it be, shorter? ”

"What did my sister-in-law say?" Erniang is in a very good mood today, and she doesn't care about the tone in Xue Jian's words, and happily snatches back the box, and can't stop boasting: "Zhu Niang really has a heart, I only briefly mentioned a word that I want to pray for my parents, and she has always remembered that this is not a while ago when she went back to Hedong, and she still wants to ask someone to bring this thing back to me." ”

While speaking, Siniang also took the box as if relaying, and said with a smile: "During the Mid-Autumn Festival, take it back to the ancestral hall of your hometown and burn it, which is the most effective!" ”

"Do you want to take back the ancestral hall of your hometown and burn it?" Yukimi didn't want to figure out that this bead girl was sacred, and the grand ceremony brought by a tree branch, why did this make her feel so weird. I looked up at the inconspicuous branches of the tree again, and the more I looked at it, the more I felt incomprehensible.

Erniang carefully put away the box, and then said with a smile: "It's not, full sincerity can be full of efficacy." ”

It's no wonder that Erniang's mood is so good today, when she just bought a house in Anning, Wang Conghan talked to Zhou Bomi, and afterwards the eldest brother revealed the meaning, and there was hope for her father's mother. She was happy in her heart, she had been thinking about it all the time, and now that she has this branch that can pray for blessings, she should be able to see her father and mother soon!

Although Yukimi wanted to look up at the sky at an angle of four or five degrees, it turned out that the key to this matter was actually on this dead branch! But she wasn't stupid enough to show it like that, after all, things have taken a turn for the better, and it's always a happy thing.

Looking at the importance that Erniang and Siniang attach to this branch, I think there is some origin or exquisiteness, according to Xuejian, in terms of the value of the thing itself, one can make Erniang feel the value of friends, and the other can comfort everyone's heart, which is enough!

This is the ideal branch of infinite hope that everyone has pinned on it!

Thinking like this, Xue Jian's heart also warmed, so with a shallow smile, he discussed with Erniang and Siniang about going back to Pingshan Village to worship their ancestors and pray for the festival. I thought it would be a simple and lively Mid-Autumn Festival, but now I have to plan carefully.

This is also the first time that Xue Jian has handled such a major event related to etiquette, and the time of marriage cannot be counted, that time is called participation, and this time it is called hosting. The more I think about it, the more nervous I become, this kind of thing is unforgivable.

The housekeeper's young grandmother Xue saw that since she officially took office, there was no major event at home for her to practice, so she was looking forward to and nervous about returning to her hometown to pray for blessings this time, and her brain was running fast. Modern knowledge is 100% useless, so there is no need to think about it; The folk customs of Dashun are poorly understood, and I am afraid that I will commit a taboo. What should I do?

Not to mention, it really made Xue Jian think of a ready-made candidate, Bai Xianling's wife, Bai Yitian's mother, and Wang Conghan's aunt! Needless to say, his father-in-law was the most impatient with this set of rituals, Bai Jianran was similar to him, and besides, she didn't ask the head of a county to help her guide her in the matter of worshipping her ancestors. Then, Mrs. Bai is the most suitable, her status, experience, and vision are different from the young Zhou family brothers and sisters, looking for her to give you some advice or two, is the last word!

Mrs. Bai was gentle and elegant, and she didn't feel abrupt about Xue Jian's visit, but Bai Yitian sneered on the side and was scolded by her.

After a general understanding of the situation, Mrs. Bai put forward her own suggestions very sincerely, Xue Jian knew that a good brain is not as good as a bad pen, so she asked Xiaomei and others to prepare paper and ink, and recorded it while listening.

The ambitious Xue Jian is bent on showing his ability in this important matter that the Zhou family is very concerned about. Even if you are a rice worm, you have to be a rice worm that has made achievements to the Zhou family, which is Xuemi's ideal.

It was rare for Madame Bai to have such an opportunity to show her insight and knowledge, and explained to her with great interest: "Don't underestimate this blessing matter, there are really a lot of things to pay attention to. She instructed, "If you fast three days in advance, and clean your hands before burning incense, all the people who accompany you should first exclude the jealousy of the person who is blessed from ......, balabala.

Xue sees the waterfall sweat, it's okay to say anything else, a father, a mother, three aunts, Xue Jian doesn't know if these five people are also five genera, but with these people's genera, no matter how you think about it, it's really a headache.

"It's a lot more exquisite, is there anything that can be streamlined?" Xue Jian stroked his forehead with his hand and said with a wry smile: "This is really, pray for a pillar of incense, and prepare for more than half a month!" ”

Mrs. Bai didn't think it was wrong, and said with a smile: "Don't talk about it, you must know that the word "heart" is needed for blessings, and the etiquette rules and preparation for this ceremony are just a manifestation of the mind." ”

Yukimi sighed and said, "Madame is very right, Yukimi is just worried that he will make a mistake in his busyness, but it is not beautiful." She naturally knew that this was completely different from the company's tea party, which was the main theme, and no noise was allowed.

The mood is so heavy and fluttering, on the one hand, she wants to make Zhou Bo proud of her in this matter, on the other hand, she is afraid of the cumbersome etiquette, in the end, she is only a little person who is used to being led by others, at first glance, the wealth has been dizzying, and now she has become the chief director, and the director is still the Spring Festival Gala that the people of the whole country are staring at, this is really a yellow oriole singing green willows, half of the river is scared and half of the river is cold, still holding the pipa and half covering the face, half for the pity and half annoyance! It's messy!

Seeing her little face distorted with a smile and a sorrowful face, Mrs. Bai couldn't help but smile and reminded: "I'm afraid this matter must be started as soon as possible, and it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival now. ”

"That's right." Xue Jian reacted immediately, and hurriedly asked Xiaomei to record this matter as the first thing, "Go and discuss with the second lady first, and then leave the taboo offender behind, and you can go back to Pingshan Village together to familiarize yourself with the rules of the sacrifice." ”

Xiaomei naturally agreed, nodded obediently, and said, "Young grandmother, don't worry, when you go back, the slave will go to consult the second lady." ”

After hearing this, Erniang was naturally also busy, she was naturally familiar with the physiognomy and birth date of these five elders, so she specially invited someone to calculate, and checked the people one by one, so that the people who could go back to Pingshan to worship their ancestors together were more than half. Especially Xiaomei and Xiaotao beside Xuejian, they were all excluded, and Erniang also felt that she couldn't go, so she recruited people temporarily, and the big girl didn't get started so quickly. So he called Zhu'er, the girl who had been named by Xue Jian two days ago, to him and beat him for a long time.

Although this pearl is young, she is a person who is willing to work hard, and she is also clever, she listened quietly for a long time, and said: "Please rest assured, the second lady, the slave will definitely take care of the eldest and youngest grandmothers." ”

"Not bad." Seeing that Zhu'er was smart, Erniang felt a little comforted in her heart, and said seriously, "This time you are the only one who follows, but the half-moon scene, behave well, and you will be promoted to a big girl when you come back." This follows the master to think about the master's affairs from the heart, and does not point to you to help the master share his worries, so that the master can worry less, which is the first achievement. ”

When she came back, Zhou Bo also told her, Zhu'er Shao met with Zhou Bo, and after listening to it with trepidation, she only felt that her back was soaked, and she thought to herself, how could a person who couldn't be angry with the eldest young grandmother marry a man like the eldest young master who can scare people to death!

Fortunately, I'm just serving my grandmother, so it's hard for Sister Xiaoxing and Sister Xiaoli, how can I survive it?

I have always known that this eldest young master and the eldest young grandmother have a very good relationship, in order not to be "taken care of" by the eldest young master, Zhu'er has also made up her mind that she will definitely behave well when she returns to her hometown this time!

Because Xiaomei and Xiaotao couldn't follow, it showed the importance of Zhu'er, and Xiaomei also came over to remind her: "Young grandma is kind, we must be even more grateful as slaves, and we want to be in front of the master in everything." If you come back and let me know that you are missing, I will not spare you! ”

Zhu'er hurriedly expressed her loyalty and said: "Zhu'er will not embarrass Sister Xiaomei this time, but Zhu'er was also taught by Sister Xiaomei." ”
