Chapter 125 and the Rites

On the eleventh day of the first lunar month, the sky had just dawned, and He Changan was woken up by Biluo, but He Changan himself did not feel very sleepy, because Lu Cheng had already taken the word Suiru for her the night before, and the meaning of the word Suiru made her look forward to the ceremony of Helu even more.

On the other side, Mama Yang had already let the second-class maid prepare the bath water sprinkled with plum petals, and when He Changan's sleepiness completely subsided, she was carried in, He Changan sat in the bathtub, looked at the plum blossoms floating on the water, and looked at Mama Yang standing behind her and said: "Mama has a heart, I have prepared so many things in advance, I want to come to this plum blossom is in the wax moon when it is picked down and prepared, it is so well preserved, now take it out and use it, it is still the fragrance of plum blossoms." ”

Mama Yang's expression was slightly embarrassed, and she said, "How could the old slave think of this...... It's all old slaves who don't use it. ”

Now He Chang'an was surprised, not Mama Yang, looking at her like that, not the people who served her? The county lord, these plum petals are all sent by Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Zhengyi Palace to the young lady, and said that these plum petals are picked from the plum garden in the palace, and they have been dried by the special method of the skilled craftsmen in the palace, and the effect of bathing is no less than the roses in Nan'an, and taking a bath with this plum blossom does not take too long, for almost ten days, the whole person is like a fragrant fragrance, and it smells with a fragrance from afar. ”

Hua Nan didn't come in to serve He Chang'an to take a bath, but she stood outside the screen, in case He Chang'an needed anything, and then listened to the words of the silver needle inside the screen: "The county lord is a blessed man." The yellow plum blossom in the palace leaning on the plum garden has such an effect, but the yellow plum blossom was planted three years ago, and the yield is not much, and the plum blossom can usually be bathed with this plum blossom, and the palace is the queen Niang Qing Concubine Niangniang and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, and the other masters only look at the greed. The eldest princess was also generous, and sent a box to the county lord, ten days, which was enough. ”

But what Hua Nan didn't say was that Lu Cheng gave the eldest princess Lu Keyi a lot of good things in order to get this box from the eldest princess to bathe in He Chang'an. It's not that the eldest princess is stingy, the plum petals she can get in a year are only two boxes, which is the rarest.

But as long as you know this, there is really no need to tell He Changan, otherwise it will be to provoke the relationship between her and the eldest princess in front of the master, if Lu Cheng knows, Hua Nan shuddered...... I can't imagine what Lu Cheng will do with her.

After bathing and coming out of the bathtub, He Changan sniffed the back of his hand, this yellow plum blossom is really worthy of its name, and she only used it once, and she already felt as if there was a fragrance in her body.

With the help of Hua Nan, she changed into a red-edged black cloth dress, put on the most ordinary cloth shoes, and asked Biluo to comb a double-ring bun on her head, and when she followed the group to the east side of the main hall that had been arranged, the sky was already bright.

Bai is the housewife of He Chang'an and Lu Li this time, so it is also a day just after dawn to get up to prepare, at this time he wore a suitable life woman dress to greet the guests under the east steps, there is a Si Shi Qi is the first night in the Gongchang Bo Mansion, this time also holding a plate to stand under the west steps, Shi Qi rarely wears particularly bright clothes, this time because it is a good day for He Chang'an, he also wore a silver-red thick satin jacket, He Chang'an looked out in the east room, but felt that such Shi Qi had a unique style.

After a while, the liturgical ensemble outside also began to play, indicating that the spectators were coming. Sure enough, in the sound of blowing, He Changan heard the sound of the Bai family and several other ladies who were not very familiar with each other, most of those people were praising the Bai family for being a blessed person, and the daughter raised had to be crowned the county lord, not to mention, she would still be the second princess in the future, and the Bai family was a family with the saint, and there was this meaning in the words, that is, there were no other good girls in the He family.

Although He Chang'an's and gifts, He Wang'an is a sister born to the same father, so naturally she should come out to meet the guests, but once He Wang'an has seen too few big scenes, I am afraid that it will be bad if she comes out and fall into people's jokes, and come, Bai is also selfish, He Chang'an is her biological daughter, a good life for her biological daughter, how can she be willing to let a daughter born to an aunt come out and steal the limelight of her biological daughter? What's more, that aunt was born as a servant, and she didn't deal with her all day long.

The next person to arrive was the guest of honor, Mrs. Liang Guo's Geng, Bai and her own sister-in-law relationship, and have always been very close, so there was not too much greeting, but still according to this rule, Bai politely welcomed Mrs. Liang Guo to the position of the guest of honor.

The viewers who received the post naturally would not be late in order not to lose the face of Gong Changbo's Mansion, and after a while, everyone would almost come, and since the guests had arrived, Bai Shi, as the host, could sit in the host's seat.

When the music for the opening ceremony sounded, Bai, as a housewife, still had to stand up and say a few words, which was nothing more than to thank all the people who came to watch the ceremony for appreciating the light, especially thanks to the eldest princess Lu Keyi, after all, Lu Keyi is a golden branch and jade leaf of eight hundred. Lu Keyi was not ambiguous, and said with a regular smile: "The county lord of Yongning was originally a noble woman who was my great declaration, and she will be the sister-in-law of this palace in the future. ”

He Chang'an listened in the east room, and said with emotion, the eldest princess Lu Keyi really grew up, that poetry meeting, in the end, the saint did not give any princess a marriage, only heard that the fourth princess was really sick, in that case, the saint is indeed not good to marry any daughter.

If one is better and the other is bad, the one who is always a little worse will be sad.

It's really a big deal on the saint, the double-strand hairpin, He Changan has heard of it, and the saint also talked about it when he wanted to give it to the eldest princess and the flute, but I don't know how to send it to him in advance at this time.

After Liu Yanling cleaned her hands and stood on the west steps, He Chang'an walked out, bowed to all the spectators, and knelt on the seat of the people.

Duchess Liang also cleaned her hands, and waited for He Chang'an, whose hair was all open, to kneel to the east and then walked up, singing: "On the auspicious day of the moon, the first Jiayuan is served." Abandon your young ambitions, and become virtuous. Shou Kao Weiqi, Jieer Jingfu. ”

Then he took off Luo Pa and the hairpipe from the tray that Shi Qi was carrying, knelt on the soft cushion on the side to pull He Changan's hair up, inserted the jade hairpipe on it, and watched Liu Yanling walk over and straighten the hairpipe on the bun with a smile, and was full of emotion for a while: " The county lord can be regarded as a girl who I watched grow up, I remember that when I was young, the county lord was very timid, and when I encountered something, I had to lock myself in the house and refuse to come out. ”

He Chang'an, who said the words of the Liang Guogong Mansion, was also full of emotion, if she hadn't been reborn into this body, what would today's Gongchang Bofu look like? Or is Gongchang Bofu just missing a daughter? Or is there any other person who has been reborn into this body?

He Chang'an returned to the east room, and Liu Yanling followed her in with a plain skirt to help her change, which was the first gift.

After bowing, He Changan wore a plain skirt and kowtowed respectfully to the Bai family, the meaning of kowtowing was originally to thank her mother for her kindness, but for He Changan, she knew that she was not born to the Bai family, and the Bai family had raised her for only two and a half years, but the Bai family didn't know that she was no longer her own daughter, but the real maternal love that Bai gave her was something she couldn't forget.

As soon as He Changan kowtowed, Bai's tears flowed out, and by the time He Changan straightened his waist, Bai's handkerchief was already half wet.

The next two bows, three plus three bows are almost the same as the first plus one bow, but the second set of hairpins to be replaced with sheep fat jade, and moon-white curly clothes. In the third set, it is necessary to replace the hairpin of mutton fat jade, put the double-strand hairpin on the head of the holy reward, and finally change into the golden-red large-sleeved long skirt made by Gongchang Bofu a few months ago according to He Chang'an's figure.

After sprinkling the liquor and eating two mouthfuls of food symbolically, it was Bai who took the word for He Chang'an, only to hear Bai Shi seem to have said what he had been thinking about for a long time: "The etiquette is ready, the moon is auspicious, and the word is announced." The word Kong Jia, the fashionable person is suitable. It is advisable to be fake, and it will always be guaranteed. ”

He Changan was surprised, Lu Cheng was really powerful enough, so this word, didn't he just tell her the night before, or did he think about this word a long time ago and handed it to the Bai family in various ways?

After taking the words, He Changan respectfully knelt in front of Bai, Bai stepped forward and gently touched He Changan's head: "After today, you will have grown up completely, your mother has raised you for fifteen years, and she does not ask for anything in return, everything is the fate between you and my mother and daughter." In the future, my mother only asks you to be diligent and prudent after you get married, so that you can be harmonious with your husband in your husband's family, and you can have both children and daughters in the future, and you will be content with your mother's heart. ”

He Changan once again kowtowed sincerely and said, "Although my son is not sensitive, I dare not admit it!"
