Chapter 32: Ancestor Worship
The old lady smiled and waved her hand, not caring at all: "You are a person with a double body, it's better to slow down." I'd be scared if it was soon. Slow down and be steady. β
The eldest lady suddenly laughed and quipped: "You are now very expensive, and we can't compare to you alone, so I almost treat you as a bodhisattva!" β
Roche's cheeks flushed with amusement, and he almost lowered his head to the ground.
The old lady saw the delicate plum blossoms on Luo's head, and smiled again: "Today I am dressed in good spirits." β
Gu Wanyin couldn't help but purse her lips and smile, and then glanced at Mrs. Li. Mrs. Li was as luxurious as usual todayβwith a complicated peony head and a delicate hairpin ring, but instead attracted people's attention to the headdress, and they couldn't notice her delicate face at all.
A bright and gorgeous dress set off her haggard face.
Presumably Mrs. Li has been having a bad time lately, right? Also, Gu Changfei didn't go to her, she has been at the Qi family, without Gu Changfei's protection, the old lady is not partial to her now, how can she have a happy life?
Although she felt that she had fallen into a well, Gu Wanyin couldn't help but feel happy.
After watching Mrs. Li and then looking at the Qi family, the Qi family stood at the back of the crowd in a regular manner, dressed in a regular manner, so simple and low-key that people almost didn't notice her existence.
is also a concubine, although Mrs. Li is a noble concubine, but she is still not allowed to enter the ancestral hall. Even if you die, the tablet cannot enter the ancestral hall to enjoy the offering.
But it was evident that Mrs. Lee did not realize this, and went in with everyone as usual.
The old lady frowned, glanced at the Luo clan, and suddenly stopped and said, "Li Niang, you can worship with the Qi clan outside." β
Mrs. Li was suddenly stunned, and she held Gu Yingyin's hand and clenched it involuntarily, pinching Gu Yingyin in pain, and couldn't help but raise her head to look at her.
Mrs. Li opened her mouth to argue: "But mother, I have been in there in the past years-"
The old lady's eyes sharpened: "In previous years, there was only one concubine for you, and I didn't care about so many rules." But now that Changfei has collected more people, there must always be a rule. From now on, you should also learn the rules. β
The old lady said no less than this, so she directly gave Mrs. Li a slap.
Mrs. Leigh opened her mouth and looked embarrassed. Subconsciously, she looked at Gu Changfei. In the past, Gu Changfei defended her by speaking, and in the end, she always made the old lady soft-hearted.
But this time, Gu Changfei did not come forward, but turned his face away as if he didn't see it.
Mrs. Li's heart suddenly sank to the bottom. But I don't know if she still has a glimmer of expectation, thinking that the old lady will be as soft-hearted as usual, but still did not quit, but stubbornly stood in place.
The old lady's eyes were even sharper, and her tone was a little cold: "It seems that I really spoil you too much, and I don't even understand the rules!" Don't get out yet! Do you want me to let someone pull you out? β
Mrs. Li blushed suddenly, looked at the old lady in disbelief, and was a little at a loss for a moment. However, after seeing the old lady's cold gaze, she suddenly came back to her senses, as if someone had poured a basin of cold water on her head.
"Daughter-in-law..... The words "...... know the mistake" seemed to be squeezed out of between Mrs. Li's teeth.
In full view of everyone, Mrs. Li rushed out. She didn't have the face to stay anymore.
Gu Wanyin knew that the old lady didn't just think that Mrs. Li was too ignorant and wanted to beat her. The old lady is telling everyone that Luo is the main lady of the Gu family's second room. This is to elevate Roche's identity.
It seems that after this pregnancy, the old lady does pay more attention to Roche. Gu Wanyin couldn't help but feel a burst of joy.
And Roche, although he also felt that the old lady hurt Mrs. Li's face too much, but he was still very happy in his heart.
Mrs. Li's part was only a small episode, and the sacrifice continued as usual. It's just that Gu Yingyin didn't have Mrs. Li's company, and stood alone behind Gu Wanyin, looking very helpless.
But no one paid attention to this, and worshiped the ancestors step by step.
First, the sacrifice is offered, and then the sacrificial words are recited, and the kowtow is only after the whole article is recited.
After the ancestor worship was completed, everyone gathered around the old lady and went to the house, and on Chinese New Year's Eve, the children and grandchildren of the Gu family would gather together to eat the New Year's dinner and observe the New Year.
As soon as he returned to the house, the reward of the palace came down. The old lady was happy again, and hurriedly instructed Gu Changhong and Gu Changyan to enshrine these things in the ancestral hall so that the ancestors could also take a good look.
Except for Mrs. Choli, who was secretly unhappy, the rest of the Gu family was happy.
After eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Gu Qingrui pulled Gu Wanyin to set off fireworks, and several children in the big house also followed. Only Gu Yingyin didn't move, nesting in front of Mrs. Li. A look of disdain.
Looking at Mrs. Li's obviously cold face and the hand holding Gu Yingyin tightly, Gu Wanyin only felt funny.
Since Mrs. Li's mother and daughter don't want to deal with them, then she doesn't have to put a hot face on her cold ass, right? Originally, I thought that in front of the old lady, I should always pretend to be a brother and a brother, but now it seems that there is no need for that at all.
After the fireworks, there was nothing to do, just to get together for a vigil. However, the old lady felt that the children were still too young to stay sleepy, so she ordered the rooms to disperse, and the same was true for the vigil in her yard.
Especially Luo, who is now a double body, can't stay up late, so as soon as the old lady let go, all the rooms were dispersed.
Gu Congrui sent Luo and Gu Wanyin to the gate of the courtyard, took Gu Wanyin's hand and said, "Sister, go to bed early, I will go to my grandfather's house tomorrow morning." And don't be afraid when you set off firecrackers. β
Gu Wanyin pursed her lips and couldn't help laughing: "I know, my brother still treats me as a child." I'm not afraid of firecrackers. β
Gu Congrui looked embarrassed: "I'm just giving you a word in vain." β
Gu Wanyin stretched out her hand and quietly stuffed Gu Congrui with a purse: "Brother, here you go." I made sachets out of plum blossoms. "My brother used to like the fragrance of plum blossoms the most, and he always asked her to make sachets. Half of the sachets she made were given to him. A few days ago, Roche began to teach her female red, and she made this sachet without thinking about it.
Gu Congrui put it under his nose and sniffed vigorously, and smiled: "It smells so good." β
Roche smiled and shook his head: "Okay, Rui'er should go back and go to bed early." Your grandfather had you come and tell you that he had found you a pony out there for you to see. β
Gu Congrui's eyes suddenly lit up: "Really? β
Gu Wanyin smiled quietly - if she guessed correctly, her grandfather's pony was her brother's beloved horse Ben Lei. It was a good horse indeed.
Luo Che stretched out his hand to tidy up Gu Congrui's clothes and smiled.
Looking at the intimacy between the two of them, Gu Wanyin only felt a warmth in her heart. Now her fate is completely different from the beginning. She doesn't know what the future holds, but she thinks it will be beautiful, right? She believed that with her efforts, she would never repeat the mistakes of the past β and that's exactly what she was, wasn't it?
