There are four major festivals in Dongming throughout the year, namely the New Year, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, and Chongyang Festival.

Before the Double Ninth Festival, it was just a festival of mountain climbing, when the autumn was high and cool, and people often went outside the city to play and ascend, that is, to this dynasty, in order to commemorate the martyrs who died in the Chongyang Pass that year, it was set as the day of sacrifice in the year, called the Double Ninth Festival.

On the day of the Double Ninth Festival, the whole country wore vegetarian clothes to express their condolences.

Mrs. Xie had told Xie Yixiao Xie Zhu the details the day before, and on this day, they would also go to the Tiantai to worship, but anyone who has a title or is an official in the court, officials and officials above the seventh rank must go together.

Of course, children under the age of eight, the elderly over sixty years old, women with Rokka, or people with limited mobility can all be exempted from going to worship, after all, when there are many people, it will be crowded, and it will not be good if something happens.

Wen's pregnancy is eight months old, and she will give birth at the end of October, so naturally she can't go at this time, so only Mrs. Xie took Xie Yixiao and Xie Zhu to go together.

Early in the morning, before dawn, the Xie family sat in the hall of the main courtyard of the outer courtyard dressed plainly.

The man wears a white plain robe, and his hair is fixed with a white hairband on his head, and the female dependents are also wearing plain white dresses, and a white silk flower is worn on their heads.

The family drank some white porridge, and the old lady Xie advised: "I went out today, no matter what others say, you can't cause trouble, especially you, Ah Yu." ”

Xie Yu was named, and his head nodded vigorously: "Grandfather, how many times have you said this, I don't remember it, don't worry, unless someone wants to beat me to death today, I will definitely not fight back if I am scolded." ”

Old Lady Xie was so angry that her beard was shaking: "Shut up." ”

Xie Yu's mouth was closed, and he really stopped talking.

Xie Yi'an coughed heavily, and then said: "No matter what, you can't quarrel with people today, whether it's right or wrong, making trouble on the day of the Double Ninth Festival is a wrong thing." ”

Especially the battle, the Xie family has never participated.

Although the Xie family had a little merit to the court after the establishment of Dongming, many of the families in the court now are families who have shed blood for Dongming.

If there is a quarrel and being accused of being disrespectful, it is not a good thing for the Xie family, so every year the Double Ninth Festival is to be done carefully.

"Yes." The people below answered.

Xie Yi'an said: "The sons and daughters will follow us, Yixiao, you and Azhu will follow your sister-in-law, don't walk around at will." ”

"Yes." Xie Yi replied with a smile.

Xie Yi'an nodded: "Then let's go." ”

So the family sat in three carriages and braved the dark sky to walk in the direction of the altar.

The Changning Hou Mansion was also preparing to go to the altar of the sacrifice, however, it was not very calm before leaving, first Gu Ying made trouble, she was wearing a white peony silk flower that bloomed just right on her head, and the flower was just eye-catching.

The Zhou family ordered someone to take down her flowers, and replaced her with a white plum silk flower, Gu Ying dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, and sat there silently.

Then I waited for a long time, but I didn't see Gu You come out.

Gu Ying saw that Jiang's face seemed to be a little bad, so she couldn't help but speak: "The eldest sister is really the eldest daughter of our house, it is really expensive, I and the fifth sister will wait for her, now even my father, mother, and grandmother have to wait for her." ”

Zhou's face changed slightly: "Ah Ying." ”

Gu Ying pursed her lips and disagreed.

Zhou herself couldn't sit still, she stood up, and was about to go to find Gu You, but when she saw Gu You coming late, she was wearing a red dress, with a cold face, and walked out reluctantly.

The faces of the people present changed, and Gu Ying was also startled: "Eldest sister, are you so bad in your brain that you actually wear red?" ”

Gu You snorted coldly: "Why can't you wear it?" What you wear is your own freedom, can others still control it, I'm going to wear this today, what's the matter? ”

Gu You now knows that she has been allowed to be allowed to do so, and everything is simple, the other party will marry her in October and take her away, for this reason, she has also made a fuss, and even went on a hunger strike.

However, under the order of the Marquis of Changning, she was locked up in Youruoyuan, and she couldn't even see the Zhou family, and half of the maids around her were not left, and she couldn't take a bath when she smelled on her body, so she went on a hunger strike, and no one sent her food for three days.

Three days later, she lost a lot of weight, and finally compromised, ate, bathed, and then thought about the way back.

But even if she compromised, she also wanted to play one out on weekdays, pulling a face all day long, and her speech was also yin and yang, and the family didn't choke a few words when they saw her, saying that the Gu family was not a person and sold her daughter.

Today's Double Ninth Day, if she wants to wear plain clothes, she has to wear red to show them!

"Go back and change it out." Changning Hou put the tea cup in his hand on the table, then raised his eyes, his gaze was cold, "If you don't want to die today, go and change it." ”

Everyone in the Chongyang Festival in Dongming is extremely solemn and solemn, wearing vegetarian food, worshipping the ancestors, who dares to wear a red dress to swagger?

Isn't this trying to cause trouble?

If she dares to go out in red today, tomorrow the Taiji Palace's impeachment of him will be like a snowflake.

Although Changning Hou felt that this Gu You was no longer his daughter, he originally wanted to leave her alive and leave her far away, but if she dared to do such a thing that harmed the whole family, he could let Gu You die today.

Gu You's eyes at Chang Ninghou were a little hairy in his heart, and he chuckled in his heart, and he was a little flustered.

She felt that Changning Hou at this moment really wanted her life.

Zhou hurriedly said: "Ah You, hurry up and change your clothes, when you wear these things, you will definitely not be able to wear them today." Speaking of this, Zhou was also anxious, "Do you want our family to be crowned with a crime of disrespecting martyrs?" ”

"It's disrespectful." Gu You muttered, feeling that it was really exaggerated, isn't it just a sacrifice, and it is not allowed to do this.

Zhou's face turned pale: "Ah You! ”

Gu You didn't dare to provoke Changning Hou again, so she had to go back and change her clothes, and when she came out again, she was already white, and Changning Hou ordered someone to tear off the bead hairpin on her head and take off the ear bell.

Gu You was not very willing, so he jumped to his feet angrily: "I am also willing to let me marry, let me change my clothes, and now you even have to care about me wearing a hairpin?!" ”

The green tendons on Zhou's forehead jumped, and she couldn't help but say: "Ah You, I told you before, you should be vegetarian today, wear plain clothes, and you can't wear those bright jewelry." ”

Even if you really want to wear it, you can only have a plain white silk flower, a wrapped flower or something like that, and you need to be simpler.

When Zhou saw her like this, he was really worried that she would make trouble and cause trouble after she went out today.

So she said, "Why don't you continue to call yourself sick and stay at home today?" ”
