055 The Nightmare of the Ancient Blind Date

Although the Mid-Autumn Festival ancestor worship ceremony in Shangguanfu simplified the entire process, it lasted for a whole morning. During the entire worship ceremony, Ouyang Xinyu was at the mercy of people like a piece of wood. He asked her to burn incense in front of the ancestor tablet and kowtow, she went up and put the incense in the incense burner, and then knelt on the ground. Someone asked her to get up and she got up, but no one called her, so she just knelt down like this. Ouyang Xinyu was very pious, and she felt that doing so might alleviate the guilt brought by counterfeit cards!

Finally, it was time for lunch. All those who participated in the Shangguanfu ancestor worship ceremony stayed in Shangguanfu for meals. This was not a simple casual meal, but naturally it was very grand. While the ancestor worship ceremony was held in the main hall, the kitchen and the workers in the mansion were not idle, and even Xiao Cui went outside to help. Because this ancestor worship was a family event, outsiders and servants did not participate. The ancestor worship ceremony here ended seriously in a series of kneeling worship, and the banquet was already on the table. Just wait for the ancestor worship ceremony in the main hall to end, and the meal was immediately started.

There were several large tables in the courtyard of Shangguanfu, and the content of the banquet was quite rich. There was a whole roasted little suckling pig in the middle of the table, and the rest were whole chickens, ducks, gooses, Sixi meatballs, Shives and other dishes. Finally, there were all kinds of pastries on each table. Of course, everyone liked "orange cakes" that everyone liked very much. Looking at the delicious dishes waiting on the table, Ouyang Xinyu lost taste. She wanted to find a chance to go back to her room, but Mrs. Shangguan stared at her tightly, so she had to sit on the table with a bit of bullet.

Mr. Shangguan, his wife, and the elders in the mansion, that is, Mr. Shangguan’s uncles, brothers, and their mats were set up in the main hall. Ouyang Xinyu kept bowing his head and sat there nervously, as if sitting on pins and needles, and she hoped that the mat would end soon.

There were rules for holding banquets on important days in ancient times. Although the table was full of hearty wine and food, the host had not yet announced the dinner, even if he was hungry, he could not move his chopsticks even if he was weak. After the host gave everyone a greeting and speaking, he said that the banquet could be started. Now everyone can open their stomachs and eat very well.

During the meal, Mr. Shangguan kept toasting his father and brothers at the table, while Mrs. Shangguan kept picking up food in Ouyang Xinyu's bowl. During the meal, many elders were asking Mr. Shangguan about Shangguan's age, and some took the opportunity to recommend young people of equal status to Mr. Shangguan. When he heard the seniors talking about these, Ouyang Xinyu wanted to find a hole to drill down.

After finally waiting for everyone to have enough food and the banquet ended, Ouyang Xinyu ran back to her room as if she could only find a sense of peace here. Xiao Cuiya was helping to clean up the mess of the banquet, and she couldn't come back for a while. Only Ouyang Xinyu was left in Shangguan Wan'er's huge room. Looking at the various high-end decorations and various high-quality solid wood furniture in the room, although she had been in this place for so long, Ouyang Xinyu still felt unfamiliar with them. No matter how luxurious the place was, it was not as comfortable and comfortable as her cold nest!

"Miss, Miss, why are you asleep here? You will catch a cold like this. Wake up quickly!" When Xiao Cui returned to the room, she saw Ouyang Xinyu sleeping on the table, as if she was sleeping very well.

Ouyang Xinyu was dreaming about the open space. She dreamed that Mr. Shangguan arranged for her to go on a blind date. The other party turned out to be an old man in his forties, with his long and dry braids hanging behind his bare and round head. His lips were covered with thick beards and a big blushing Guan Gong. The man seemed to be very satisfied with Ouyang Xinyu. When he faced her, he showed a silly look of salivating and silly look, which scared Ouyang Xinyu immediately hid behind Mrs. Shangguan and did not dare to show his face.

Suddenly, Mr. Shangguan and his wife disappeared, leaving only Ouyang Xinyu and the tough-looking man in the room. The man saw that there was no one else there, and he looked lewd and approached Ouyang Xinyu step by step. Ouyang Xinyu was so scared that he quickly retreated. Seeing that there was no way out behind, there was no way out. I don’t know when the room turned into a happy new house. Ouyang Xinyu retreated, retreated, and retreated to the bedside, and she sat down on the bed. The man became closer and closer, and soon came to her, and was about to pounce on her.

"Help..." Ouyang Xinyu was so scared that she screamed and woke up from her sleep in cold sweat. When she saw Xiao Cui in front of her, she thought it was the dirty old man, she immediately jumped up from the stool in fear.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?" It seemed that when Xiao Cui heard Ouyang Xinyu talking in her sleep, she was leaning over to hear what she was talking about, but unexpectedly, her heart was suddenly so shocked by Ouyang Xinyu's scream.

"Xiao Cui, you finally come, where is that old and ugly man?" Ouyang Xinyu immediately walked to her side and pulled her sleeve, hid behind her and asked anxiously.

"Where did the man come from? Miss, are you dreaming?" It turned out that the lady was dreaming, and she dreamed of some man in her dream. Xiao Cui couldn't help but cover her mouth and smiled secretly.

"I dreamed that Ama and his mother took me to a blind date. The other party was an old and ugly man with long braids. Later, Ama and his mother disappeared, and only the man and I were left in the room. Suddenly, the room became a new house, and the man approached me step by step. He wanted...he wanted..." Ouyang Xinyu was embarrassed to continue talking, so he had to stop there.

"Oh, Miss, have you been thinking too much recently to have such nightmare? I found that you are much less energetic recently. Why did you fall asleep on the table? Didn't you sleep well last night?"

"Yes, since the day Ama mentioned the marriage incident with me, I seemed to be so happy that I was always worried that Ama would arrange a blind date for me."

"Miss, what do you mean by blind date? There was no such word in ancient times. If someone likes a daughter from a family here, he would come to the matchmaker to propose marriage. If the daughter's parents agreed to this marriage, they would be a date for marriage. The lady who was proposed to marry her husband until the day of marriage could not meet her husband. She might not know the other person's appearance before. Unless the two people who were about to get married had seen each other privately before, they would know the other person's appearance in advance."

"That's it! What if the other party is an old man? Or is it disabled? Then don't you even know if you've been cheated?"

"Often the daughters of poor families, because their families have no money, sometimes betrothed to the rich sons for joy. In most cases, the rich sons are basically flawed, otherwise how could the rich sons be favored? If they are rich sons, the situation will not be the same!"
