reborn child bride

Chapter 167 New Year's Eve (2) ([-])
It's just that grandma is a little weird. Even in this kind of weather, she still insists on washing her hair every few days, and even in summer, she washes her hair almost every day.I also don't like using hair oils, and I don't like wearing flowers on my hair.At most, during the flowering period, pin a simple and elegant gardenia or magnolia flower on the clothes.But I like to put flowers in the house and say it has a fragrance.In winter, I put some fruits, and my grandfather said that when I have money, I will build a greenhouse for grandma and grow flowers.

The auspicious afternoon worship at the ancestral hall is very important for Shen Ji to show up in the clan for the first time, so he should also be extra cautious in dressing up, focusing on being dignified and festive.Clothes are also prepared early in the morning.It wasn't any fancy clothes, but it was an imperial dress issued by the Ministry of Rites that matched Wei Ying's grade.The fifth rank and above are imperial orders, the sixth rank is imperial orders, and the clothes are extraordinarily dignified and solemn.

After spending more than half an hour, Gu's mother withdrew her hand, "Madam's face is also graceful and charming, which is very suitable for dressing up." She looks like a daughter-in-law only when she is a year or two older.

Shen Ji smiled slightly, "It would be too troublesome to dress up like this every day." It took more than half an hour to comb his hair.Cooperate with the women in the boudoir who have nothing to do all day and just fix this.

Gu's mother said angrily: "Who's not like this. Women are the ones who please themselves. It's grandma, but most of her thoughts are on the outside business. If you don't put it on business, you put it on the inner house. Grandma's thoughts You should put more on Grandpa."

Shen Ji muttered: "If you put it any longer, it will become a dodder flower." Having said that, Shen Ji still thought about it, did she neglect Wei Ying recently, maybe she didn't.How did mother Gu talk about this?After thinking about it again, Mama Gu felt that she had put too much thought into her business.But, she really doesn't like to be a housewife.

"Women are not meant to be attached to men. Grandma should be softer."

This, there is a generation gap of thousands of years.

"Well, I will pay more attention to Brother Wei. Wan Cui, go to the study and call your master, just say that my side is fine, and see if it's time to go."

"Yes."

Seeing Wei Ying approaching, Gu's mother finally stopped talking.

Wei Ying took a look at Shen Ji, "Let's go." Today's dress covered Shen Ji's charming side, and she looked like a dignified and elegant little woman, just like wearing a mask.However, he himself is also in formal attire today, after all, he is going to the ancestral hall.

Wei Ying took the lead out of the side door and got on the sedan chair to go to the ancestral hall. Shen Ji also sat in the warm sedan chair with the stove behind.The warm sedan chair she used to sit in the capital had specially placed a covered charcoal basin under the seat so that her feet would not be cold.But there is no one in the sedan chair of this old house, so I can't help but feel a little inconvenient.When I think about the need to work in winter, I can't help but laugh at myself for being delicate and expensive this year.When we reached a certain distance outside the ancestral hall, we had to come down and walk.On the road, I also met people who rushed over in twos and threes, saying hello to each other.When men and women were not together, she and Wei Ying separated.Today, she went to pay New Year's greetings everywhere, and she has seen everyone's kindness and malice, so when she saw the Fourth Madam, she greeted her with some joy, "Fourth Aunt!"

Shen Ji had only met people from the first branch and the third branch who lived in her front yard, so when he met someone he didn't know, the fourth wife introduced them to her one by one, and then greeted each other.Wei Ying was married earlier in the younger generation, so Shen Ji met mostly aunts, aunts, and great-uncles along the way.I thought, with so many people, wouldn't everyone have their names posted on their seats at the New Year's Eve dinner, otherwise it would be easy to identify the wrong person.I don't know if this kind of oolong has happened before.

"This is our new grandma, she is really beautiful. And this lady's clothes, the family hasn't added them for a long time."

Shen Ji lowered his head and smiled without saying a word.At this time, it is more wrong to say more, it is better to act shy like this.

The fourth lady was talking to others: "That's right, not only is she beautiful, but also knowledgeable about books and etiquette. It's no wonder Brother Ying is so caring."

A few laughs came from the side, and Shen Ji knew that everyone remembered Wei Ying's disturbance in the ancestral hall half a year ago.There are also quite a few people who are a bit curious about the fourth wife's blatant praise of Shen Ji, this is the first time they have seen the fourth daughter-in-law like this in these years.A group of people chatted and laughed, and soon approached the ancestral hall, they all put away their smiles and put on a solemn look.

This ancestral hall is another yard to the west of Songhe Hall. There are five gates inside the black oil fence. Shen Ji looked up and saw a plaque hanging above it, which read "Wei's Ancestral Hall".Shen Ji went in behind the fourth lady, and then greeted again.

As the head of the patriarch, the second master opened the ancestral hall early, and had people clean it, pack up the offering vessels, invite the gods, and clean the upper room in order to prepare the images of the remaining offerings.

When the auspicious time came, Shen Ji could only stand by the door and wait respectfully when everyone lined up to take their positions. At this moment, she was not considered the official daughter-in-law of the Wei family, and there was nothing wrong with her.Looking over, the incense candles in the ancestral hall are brilliant, and the brocade curtains are embroidered. Although the gods and masters are listed, the handwriting on them cannot be seen clearly.All of a sudden, the music sounded, the officiant, the accompanying sacrifices, the presenters, the silk presenters, and the incense holders took their positions. Everyone knelt down to worship, burn the silk and drink wine. After the ceremony, the music stopped.Has been tossing for half an hour and more.In Wei Ying's words, it is at this moment that the style of a century-old scholarly family can be seen the most.

It wasn't until later that the marriage letter between her and Wei Ying was offered in front of the ancestral tablet, and after burning incense and praying, the eldest female elder in the clan, the fourth wife, asked her to call her "third uncle and grandmother" to lead her to the ancestral tablet. kowtow everywhere.This third uncle and grandmother is a person with a royal order, she is very fair and has a lot of prestige in the clan.Someone had come to teach Shen Ji the etiquette, and he had rehearsed several times with Wei Ying, so he came one by one in a leisurely manner, and then went to pay homage to the elders.

A series of critical eyes fell on her face, and then a series of old-fashioned lectures, in Shen Ji's view, they were all nonsense, just like every leader had to talk to each other at the beginning of the meeting, but he had to bear it one by one Then bow and should be.Finally, Li Bi was led to stand behind the second lady.Then, it was Wei Ying who invited the patriarch and clan veterans to come up with the genealogy, and added the name "Wei Chen" to his page one by one.

Shen Ji thought to himself, forget about this matter.Next, it's New Year's Eve dinner.There is no name posted on the position like Shen Jixiang, but the personal position is indeed fixed, and there is a special person who is responsible for guiding everyone to the table.Just looking at the arrangements for today's sacrifice and New Year's Eve dinner, the patriarch and the patriarch's wife of the second master and the second wife can be regarded as conscientious.I heard that they also worship very well in the elders of various ethnic groups.Speaking of which, the ones who suffer are the ones who are younger than them.

Shen Ji's position was arranged at the same table with the second and fourth wives, and several other daughters-in-law of the same generation.With Shen Ji's position, she serves dishes and soups, but the dishes for the New Year's Eve dinner are particularly particular about a continuous flow.I have to get up and wait for a meal many times, it is impossible to eat well, it is not as good as the one yesterday.Moreover, because I have to get up from time to time, it is impossible to eat any big dishes, otherwise it would be inappropriate to have vegetables in my mouth or chew when I get up.I can only eat a bite or two of the cold dish in front of me and get up again.She peeked at the other tables, and it seemed that the seats were all vacant and no one was assigned.Did she dress up beautifully and decently just to be angry?
