On the eighth day of the first month of June, flowers flew all over the sky, and the morning light covered half of the east, and the people of the eight clans who came to participate in the worship of the third master talked about today as a good day, and even God smiled happily.I didn't sleep well this night, and I got up just after the hour, and even Qingluo, who was keeping vigil, was surprised that Li Haitang was not lazy in bed.First go to the large bathing room on the first floor to take a comfortable bath, and then put on the big dress sent by Mrs.
Cheng herself two days ago.Qingluo didn't understand why Li Haitang didn't wear the dark color dress sent by Zhuge Yi, which was more suitable for today's apprenticeship than the red and festive dress prepared by the eight major clans.Mai Miao also persuaded Haitang to change back into the dark color dress, believing that Zhuge Yi would be very happy to see it.Li Haitang smiled silently, letting the two maids make noise in her ears.Until Yinzheng, Mrs.
Cheng personally came to invite Haitang to go to the Yansheng Hall in front to worship her ancestors.The rules of the eight clans are all based on the ancestor as the honor, the teacher as the secondary, the ancestor as the secondary, the ancestor as the secondary, and the eight patriarchs rank fourth.After that, he respected the official family, and naturally was loyal to the monarch and the country like the people, worshipping the ministers and respecting the officials.Mrs.
Cheng held the begonia and said as she walked: "Miss Li, when the gift is finished today, I will kowtow to you and thank you." ”Li Haitang pretended to be surprised and asked, "Don't don't, I can't stand it."
Besides, when will I be kind to Mrs.
Cheng?
”"Miss Li is humble if she doesn't take credit, how can we pretend not to know and hide cheekily."
Mrs.
Cheng pursed the corners of her lips self-deprecatingly, looked to both sides to see that no one was eavesdropping, and said in a low voice: "Since Miss Li gave me face and elected me to take charge of the supervision office to worship the Third Master, the bastards who used to have a shallow relationship with the Cheng clan have come out one by one, and Xianggong and I are so tired that we have closed the door several times, so they have sent some gifts. ”"Gifts?
Then take it. ”Li Haitang in turn took Mrs.
Cheng's arm and said, "Among the eight major clans, the Mo, Li, and Wu clans are dominant, and the Yan clan also has the ambition to compete for the high.Master and I both feel that the Cheng clan should also strive for the upper reaches, so as not to be swept away by this flood and lose their foothold. ”"Miss Li's words have come into my heart."
Mrs.
Cheng was grateful to Dade and whispered: "Don't hide it from Miss Li, someone came to my house yesterday and wanted to be the help of Miss Li." ”"Oh?"
Li Haitang was interested, "The Dian clan can't sit still?"
”Mrs.
Cheng was stunned for a moment, and after being surprised, she sighed again and again: "Ouch, Miss Li is really smart, can she guess correctly?"
”Li Haitang smiled contemptuously and said: "Let's wait until the third division salute is over, who knows if today's enemy will become tomorrow's ally."
Mrs.
Cheng is also cautious, for the rise of the Cheng clan, she must be careful at every step. ”"Don't worry, Miss Li, we'll be careful."
Mrs.
Cheng was silent.The wives of the four clans of Mo, Wu, Yan, and Si came to the front, followed by the wives of the four clans of the South, West, and North Mansions, and then the daughters-in-law of the squires and magnates, all of whom were old and young.On the other side, the wives of the Dian and Yan clans were also surrounded by the wives of the three mansions of the clan and walked this way.Although the number of people was a little smaller, the momentum of gossip was huge, and the chatter of women could be heard from a distance.The people of the two camps gathered at the door of the backyard of Yansheng Hall, and gathered with Li Haitang and Mrs.
Cheng, and many of the ladies smiled instantly, and they saluted and greeted Mrs.
Cheng in a regular manner, and their eyes were not good.Mrs.
Mo smiled and stepped forward to hold Begonia's other small hand and said, "Let's go."
The lords and sons of all the provinces are waiting in the front hall.Incense, toast, kowtow to the ancestors, and then we will go back to the Pavilion to worship the teacher. ”"Thank you, Mrs.
Mo.My ears are about to grow calluses today, and Mrs.
Cheng has not stopped talking about me since she saw me, for fear that I would be flustered and forgetful, and that my bad steps would break the rules and make people laugh. ”Mrs.
Mo's face was slightly stiff, she glanced at Mrs.
Cheng, and echoed with a smile: "Miss Li is smart, she understands everything as soon as she hears it."
Mrs.
Cheng took on a heavy responsibility for the first time, and it was inevitable that she would nag a little.The concubine pleaded guilty to Miss Li on her behalf, and Miss Li didn't blame her. ”"How can you blame it, Mrs.
Cheng has been working hard every day for more than half a month, and how many things are up to her, it's too late for me to thank her."
Li Haitang walked into the backyard of Yansheng Hall by Mrs.
Mo and Mrs.
Cheng holding hands, and saw Li Junshen, who had been waiting for a long time.Li Junshen looked at her in a rainbow-colored dress, and a glimpse of the curtain when the curtain was lifted that day came to mind.Compared with the big red and happy colors, the dark colors selected by Zhuge Yi are more suitable for the beautiful little girl."
Let's go, I'll lead you in."
Li Junshen stretched out his hand, put his handkerchief in his palm, and looked at the ladies of the various prefectures, "Please stay out of the ancestral hall and wait in the east and west courtyards of the Pavilion." ”"Okay."
Mrs.
Mo bowed her head, gave a blessing to Li Haitang, and then led the ladies back to the Pavilion.However, they did not enter through the main gate, but took the side door of the east-west road.Li Haitang sighed easily, and put his little hand in the palm covered with a handkerchief, and found that Li Junshen's hand was very fleshy and warm, not as cold and slender as Zhuge Yi's hand.The fingers are a little short and thick, like newborn thin radish, and they are not as slender and beautiful as Zhuge Yi's fingers.Led by Li Junshen into the apse of the main hall of Yansheng Hall, through the arch around to the front hall, at this time it was already full of people, all of whom were the patriarchs, sons, and powerful lords of the eight clans, as well as the elders of various clans, respected old birthday stars, and so on.Li Haitang looked around inadvertently, and did not see Zhuge Yi's figure, nor Mo Rongjiu in the column.Yanshengtang is a man's territory and a forbidden place for women, even if Mo Rongjiu has broken many rules and become the first businesswoman in Ciyu Town, she still can't enter the ancestral hall as freely as a man.And she, because she was a living sacrifice to her ancestors, was allowed to enter, and in the eyes of these men she was neither a man nor a woman, but a talking sacrifice."
Please bow to your ancestors!"
The old deacon's high-pitched voice echoed through the hall.Li Haitang knelt down according to his words and bowed three times."
Incense!"
The old deacon sang.Li Junshen lit three pillars of incense and handed it to Li Haitang.After bowing, Li Haitang returned the three pillars of incense to Li Junshen, and Li Junshen put the incense into the Ding furnace on his behalf."
Toast!"
The old deacon sang again.Li Junshen carried a delicate small square tray with three cups of sake and a small pile of loess.After the chestnut begonia bowed, he dug the loess as fine as dust and sand into the wine glass with the long nails of the tail finger, and then gave it to the ancestors cup after cup, all of which were sprinkled in the Changding furnace in front of him."

Rite over!"
After the old deacon finished singing, he lifted up his robe and knelt down slightly and kowtowed, his voice was no longer as high-pitched and loud as just now, but hoarse and low, "The old slave bows to the first daughter!"
”"Old deacon, please get up!"
Li Haitang handed Li Junshen a look and asked him to help the old deacon on his behalf.Li Junshen said: "The old deacon, please get up, Feng Xian Nu wants to go back to the Xian Pavilion to worship the third master, and the auspicious time must not be delayed." ”"Yes, yes, the old slave respectfully invites the ancestor to move to the Pavilion.The old slave retires!
”The old deacon got up and stepped back slightly, leaving through the small hidden door of the ear room connected between the front hall and the east side hall.Li Haitang stared at the old deacon's back, how did she feel that this back was so familiar?
Seems to have seen it somewhere.() Glory to the end
