The etiquette of paying homage to ancestors is very complicated. It took half a day to go through it all.
Although there was an unpleasant incident just now, the matter has been settled. If you hold on to it any longer, it will destroy the harmony of the family. The third uncle is old and knows the severity. Even if he is still a little unhappy in his heart, he still looks happy on the surface.
Attend a family dinner.
The family banquet was held in the flower hall in the front yard of Cui Mansion. Cui Mansion was formerly the Royal Palace. Although Su Yingcheng, Su Guifei's brother, had previously emptied his money, after Su Yingcheng committed suicide, all the things he had stolen were returned, and Emperor Xuanwu also gave him a gift
Cui Weizhen did not suffer at all from the many rare treasures he bought.
The flower hall in the front yard is located in the garden. Even though the garden in winter has no beautiful scenery, there are many rockeries, ponds, pavilions and pavilions. The ice on the lake is frozen solid. Cui Zhiduan didn't stop, and even encouraged the members of the clan.
The boys went to play on the ice together.
Although the servants have confirmed that the ice surface is very frozen, Ye Zhenzhen does not dare to let him have fun during the Chinese New Year. Who knows if some accidents may happen?
For the Chinese New Year, it’s better to live in peace and quiet.
She controlled the hand that was about to hit the child and glared at him: "Don't mess around. Go play top with your brothers."
Tops, also called tops, are toys that have been popular since the previous dynasty. Today's tops are no different from those of later generations. In addition to hand-spinning tops, there are also whip-spinning tops, which are more elegant and hand-spinning.
Welcome, most boys like whip tops.
The whip whipped the top and made a whirling sound, and many tricks could be played. It was popular no matter which dynasty it was. This kind of game had endless appeal to boys, and they almost had fun playing with the small top.
This time Ye Zhenzhen returned to the clan and brought many New Year gifts to everyone. Among the gifts for these children, naturally, the popular toy spinning top was indispensable.
When the half-grown boys heard that they could play with spinning tops, they didn't even bother to play on the ice. They happily took the spinning tops sent by Qiu Wu, ran to thank the patriarch's wife, and then happily ran to Baoxia.
The other end is gone.
Cui Zhiduan had never seen so many brothers and sisters, and he happily ran to play with the others with his little spinning top and whip. Ye Zhenzhen paid special attention to observe, and everyone took good care of him. In addition, there were
Cui Zhiming, an acquaintance, was here, and he quickly integrated into the group.
Ye Zhenzhen unknowingly breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at Cui Weizhen again and saw that he was also paying attention to his son's movements. Although his sense of the tribe was not very good, it was a good thing for his son to have more playmates and brothers and sisters.
After all, this is a clan society after all. If Wang Zai can have the support of his clan members in the future, his path will be easier.
Turning around, he met his wife's gaze. Cui Weizhen squeezed her palm and said, "Let my servants watch. You have been tired for a day. Sit down with mother and the others and rest for a while."
Ye Zhenzhen got up early in the morning and went on the road. After another busy morning, Ye Zhenzhen was really tired. There were proper people around the child, and Cui Weizhen was watching from the front, so she returned to the back with peace of mind.
The ladies and ladies in the clan were very enthusiastic when they saw her. Ye Zhenzhen didn't know why. She thought about the consequences of worshiping her ancestors. After saying hello to everyone, she sat down next to Aunt Cui.
Because it was a family dinner, everyone didn't have to worry about table manners. They laughed and chatted while eating. Aunt Cui and Ye Zhenzhen were the absolute protagonists, and the topics were all directed towards her.
Cui Qinglan was extra attentive today and kept busy picking up food for Ye Zhenzhen without even taking a few bites, which attracted Mrs. Liu's attention.
Ye Zhenzhen also noticed it and couldn't help but joke: "Why are the twelve sisters so attentive today? Do you think I didn't give you enough red envelopes and want to ask for more?"
The three aunts and six ladies sitting down all laughed and joked: "Isn't that right? They all want to be from the husband's family, and they act like a little girl."
Cui Qinglan stomped her feet in embarrassment: "I don't want to get married. I'm such a grown-up person and have accomplished nothing. I want to make a career with Sister-in-law Jiu."
Everyone just thought she was joking and laughed even more: "Look, Twelve Mother is more motivated than that brat in my family. If she were born as a boy, she might be in charge of the government by now."
Seeing that everyone didn't take her seriously, Cui Qinglan was annoyed and turned around and held Ye Zhenzhen's arm: "Sister-in-law Jiu, you see everyone is laughing at me. I really want to do something. Do you think I can
Do you want to go to Yongshan Hall to help?"
Ye Zhenzhen looked at her and said nothing.
Cui Qinglan looked at Sister-in-law Jiu's eyes, and felt a little at a loss for a moment. She pinched the corner of her clothes and said: "I know that I have no ability and can't do many things well. I might cause trouble to Sister-in-law Jiu, but, I really
If you want to go to Yongshan Hall to help, even if you ask me to copy some documents, I will be happy."
Why did this girl suddenly have such an idea?
Ye Zhenzhen was a little strange, and turned back to look at Mrs. Liu - this should be Twelve Niang's own idea, and Aunt Six would definitely not agree. After all, she has to talk about her relatives, so she may not be willing to let her go out and show off her head.
Show your face.
Sure enough, Mrs. Liu frowned slightly. She understood her daughter's temperament and did not try to force her. She just reasoned with her: "We don't live in the capital, we only go there to stay for a few days occasionally. Yongshan Hall is in the capital. You
How can I help your Sister-in-law Ninth when you are far away in Jingning?"
"I……"
Cui Qinglan was speechless. Without the company of her elders, she was a girl who definitely couldn't live alone in a house in the capital. Although Jingning's uncle and other uncles from the clan were also in the capital, how could she have the nerve to ask for help?
Where is their home?
So if it reaches your mouth, you just swallow it.
Ye Zhenzhen didn't mind that Twelfth Sister lived in Uncle Jingning's Mansion, but she wasn't sure about Liu's attitude, so she didn't speak rashly, but just said: "Twelve Sisters, don't be depressed, if you want to help Yongshan Hall, there are many
We will discuss the method in detail later when we are free."
Cui Qinglan thought that Sister-in-law Jiu was just comforting her, so she smiled reluctantly, and did not refute, but just said yes obediently, but she couldn't get her interest up.
People are visibly unhappy.
Mrs. Liu was just lucky. Not to mention the question of whether she could help or not, her childish temperament was enough to give people a headache.
Ye Zhenzhen also felt helpless and couldn't say anything more, so she had to find some topics that interested her to talk about, which at least made people happy.
When the banquet was over and everyone in the tribe left one after another, not long after Ye Zhenzhen returned to the main courtyard, Mrs. Liu came to the door with Cui Qinglan.
