Chapter 183: Wax Moon


Approaching the end of the year, the house is obviously a lot busier, the stewards of the grange are busy sending the annual rent and all kinds of melons, fruits and vegetables, and the shop is also packed up all kinds of New Year's goods to send in a hurry, the gatehouse is full of people, some of the low status is not even allowed to enter the door, put down the things and register to leave. ┗2326 The housekeeper was also so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground, and he walked at a trot.

Although it was still early, Yuzhu still took some important things to heart early.

For example, tidying up the ancestral hall, wiping a few cases of gold and silver offerings and bronze tripods on the platform, etc.

In addition, it is extremely cumbersome to clean up the furnishings, the huge mansion to reveal a new atmosphere for the New Year seems easy, in fact, it is not easy, from the gate, the instrument door, the inner hall to the inner instrument door, the inner hanging door and the main hall, all the way to the red lanterns staggered with glass lanterns to hang full, the day is joyful, the night is a brilliant light, the brocade curtain show but compared to these trivial things, the most troublesome is still to come.

According to the rules, no matter whether the clan is separated or not, they will come to the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors during the New Year's Festival.

This is also an opportunity for Cheng Jiashu to go back to their home once a year, and many clansmen have come to the door in advance since a few days earlier, and they are all far away and live without pressure.

"I have to eat ducks three times a day, two for each meal, one roasted and one fried, and the slave maid who has only one bone rack to clean up bets that if she goes to search for baggage this time, she will definitely find at least five ducks."

This is talking about an old clan uncle who has turned a few corners.

"I went to the kitchen to ask for snacks every day, and I asked for bird's nest before, so the kitchen can still make it, and yesterday I directly shouted what purple lingzhi and leopard fetus to eat, and detained the two little maids who delivered vegetables under the slave maid, and put enough money for the eldest lady, if it wasn't for someone persuading, she was afraid that she would have to call the tailor of Jinxiulou to tailor."

This is talking about a cousin girl named Yingxiu, who can only touch the edge of a table for 3,000 miles.

After listening to Gan's mother's chattering complaints, Yuzhu put down the pen in his hand, his smile was a little weird, they were clear, this kind of justifiable advantage was really sure that others couldn't stop it.

It's rare for relatives to come to the door, and you, as the main family, are reluctant to return even a few meals to the dignified Chengguo Mansion, isn't it a shame to say it.

"Mrs."

Gan's mother looked at Yuzhu expectantly, just waiting for the master's order to give them a good face.

These servants of the world usually have heads and faces, and now they are instructed to do this and that by a few poor people from remote side branches, although they are smiling at each other because of the identity of slaves and maids, but how can they be convinced in their hearts.

"Such a big thing, is it worth being angry like this" Yuzhu smiled: "There are only a few days left left and right, and the coaxing will pass."

"This idea should be bought with peace.

Seeing that the main mother spoke, even if Gan's mother was not happy in her heart, she had no choice but to agree.

Hua Zhen was grinding ink for Yuzhu, but he didn't make a sound, and waited for Gan's mother to come out of the house before she said: "Why should Mrs. indulge those people, even if she is not a serious relative, the slave maid inquired about the old lady in the past years was not so polite." ” Yuzhu changed the vines of the thin tube lake strokes, and glanced at her, "If you don't coax it, you can't still blast it out, you forgot how Aunt Sun's nephew made a fuss before" "Those people just don't have a shame, and when they see that the old lady doesn't care about anything, they are so bold."

Zaoyuan came in with a purple gold glaze sprinkled blue jar and said angrily.

The originally orderly yard has broken several rules, which will cause trouble for people.

"They may also bully me when I am young, not as good as the old lady, I just know in my heart and have to pretend not to know, otherwise I will be happy for a while, but trouble will be inevitable after that."

After Yuzhu finished the last stroke, he picked up a warm wet handkerchief and wiped his hands, "In the end, it's all on my head, no matter what reputation it is, it's always a little bad to reach the old lady's ears." ” tilted his head and replied: "Only this time, I don't seek merit but no fault." ” It's a pity that Yuzhu thinks beautifully, but the reality is a little cruel.

Originally, a group of relatives were still afraid of the Xie family, who was good at cold methods, and most of them converged left and right, waited for a few days, and inquired about the situation clearly.

Yuzhu has many ears and eyes, and he knows exactly what they are doing, but he still looks at them coldly, and he can't help but think of a little mischief in his heart.

After a few more days, the relatives who had been near him gradually came to visit, and the old man saw the eldest and second masters, and inevitably had to drink again.

Unfortunately, the next day, when he struggled from his hangover and went to Guanglu Temple to receive the annual reward, he was not happy.

When I opened the yellow cloth pocket of "Huang En Yongxi", it was 1,000 taels, which should have been 200 taels of silver as usual, why has it changed so much now Although he was a little unclear in the general affairs, he was still brainy at the moment, and he immediately stopped drinking, and his brother didn't care, so he got into the sedan chair and went all the way to his old friend Zhongqinbo's mansion in a hurry.

"You're trying to think about it." rushed to the house, and ran to the study of Zhongqin Bowai with familiarity, and said impatiently when he caught someone: "What does the emperor mean by this, the rumors are not true."

Zhong Qinbo is a thin old man with fairy wind bones, and when he heard this, he stroked his gray beard and smiled: "It's not that you don't know in your heart, why do you have to say it." ” When the old man heard this, he sighed, "The family is unfortunate, what about the future of the boss?"

"When I'm old, I still have a princess and daughter-in-law, and I can wake up smiling when I dream, and you're not happy, tsk.

Besides, didn't you look down on your former eldest daughter-in-law's family background the most, the princess's identity is the most noble, haha.

Zhongqinbo took a sip of tea and leaned comfortably on the back of the chair.

"You old thing, you are still talking cool things at this time, if you are so envious, I will immediately enter the palace to ask for your youngest son."

The old man slapped the table irritably and made threatening remarks.

Zhong Qinbo couldn't calm down now, and hurriedly smiled: "Don't, after so many years, why are you still so hot, you don't know about Kuan'er's, and you still ask a princess to come back, isn't it harmful."

Seeing that the old friend softened his expression, he continued: "Originally, it was just a rumor, but now it has increased fivefold even in years, which shows the emperor's guilt, don't worry, listen to me." ” He stood up and walked a few steps towards the flowing gold enamel brazier in the house, and finally had a serious look on his face, "Since you have accepted this silver, the best way to find a daughter-in-law for the boss of your family is broken, and then think about how to deal with the princess of Zhuyi." ” "How do I know?"

The old man sat down dejectedly and said angrily, "Besides, who dares not to accept the silver reward." ” After another turn, Zhong Qinbo stopped, his cloudy old eyes squinted, and he was no longer old just now, and said in a low voice: "Since this is already the case, then you might as well be bolder, the left and right are just a princess who has nothing to rely on, as long as you look at the opportunity, it is not difficult."

On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, the Chengguo Mansion that had changed the door gods, couplets, and listings had been crowded with all kinds of relatives and clansmen, and Yuzhu was dressed in a red hibiscus gold snow luo folded branch magnolia makeup satin gown, and his face was almost stiff with a smile, and he once again praised the ancestors who specified the rules for dividing the family, which was too wise When the time came, the old man led the clansmen to the ancestral hall.

The ancestral hall of the Guogong Mansion is located in another courtyard in the east, the gate of five rooms in the black oil fence, a plaque "Cheng's ancestral hall" is hung on it, the bluestone road in the courtyard is clean all the year round, the evergreen pines and cypresses are planted on both sides, the rain bamboo only entered once when entering the ancestral genealogy after marriage, and was shocked by the dense tablet at that time, and did not pay much attention to the furnishings inside, and now think about it a little regrettable, after all, the female dependents can not enter and exit the ancestral hall at will, that is, the festival worship, and the rules are heavy.

Others all entered the ancestral hall, according to the side from the inner door to the main hall corridor to stand in columns, five main halls, the inner corridor and the outer eaves, the steps above and below the stage, plugged without half a bit of open space.

After the food was served, the old man bowed down with incense, and everyone behind him knelt down together, leaving only the slight sound of clothes blown by the wind and the crisp hum of jewelry and jade pendants shaking in the air.

It's so solemn, after the ceremony, Yuzhu got up with Xie Shi in her arms and quietly breathed a sigh of relief, the atmosphere just now made her not even dare to pant loudly.

After exiting the ancestral hall, Xie and the old man were surrounded, and baskets of auspicious words were thrown out like no money.

Xu has to go through such a time every year, and Xie Shi copes with it very calmly, without the slightest impatience.

Yuzhu glanced at the silver chain that probed her brain, and hurriedly glanced at her.

Silverchain smiled treacherously and nodded vigorously Since the ancestors were worshipped, there was no reason to stay any longer, and before dark, the Guogong Mansion returned to calm.

Cheng Xunxun sent off the last group of guests, but when he returned to the room, he saw Yuzhu smiling uncontrollably beating the kang, and several big girls waiting next to him were also full of smiles that could not be concealed.

"What's wrong" Cheng Xunxun raised her eyebrows, she was always so vivid, and when she saw her smile, she was always in a better mood.

Yuzhu waved his hand to let the maid go down, sat up straight with his fluttering, poured a cup of tea from the kang table and handed it to Cheng Xunxun, his eyebrows and eyes crooked: "I'll tell you, you are not allowed to talk to the old lady." ” With a guarantee, Yuzhu held back a smile and told him how he indulged those relatives to steal things, how to find out where they hid things, and finally how to ask people to take advantage of the worship, there was no one in the house, and took all the stolen goods back, and replaced them with pottery flower pots of about the same size, increasing or decreasing the clods of soil in them according to different weights, and the too small objects simply saved the flower pots that filled vases and antiques "Only the seven half-roast ducks in the shortest old uncle's baggage didn't move, and what others happily carried back was not the original thing."

Yuzhu couldn't help but smile: "There is also someone who found out, lingering at the gate of the mansion for a long time, wanting to ask for an explanation but not daring to come in."

The girl raised her chin angrily, "I don't want to suffer, I responded to any excessive requests when I was in the house, and the old lady gave a red envelope, how can they steal things" Cheng Xunxun smiled, but seeing that her eyes were shining and with a little cunning, she didn't tell her that the pottery pots in the house were actually customized in Tao Town, with different sizes, and the price was not as cheap as she imagined ,,gd1806102:
