Abandoned Wife and Marry Only: Daughter of Houmen

Chapter 250

This time the emperor was furious, and it was obvious that King Ping wanted to perform a fair and strict drama of killing relatives with righteousness.I'm afraid that anyone who releases the seal this time will lose his official position, Shen Feng is also very concerned about this matter, he said immediately after hearing the words: "Don't worry, it's not difficult to inquire about this matter, uncle will find a way to go to the Ministry of Household Affairs and Dali Temple to find out."

Hui'an nodded, thinking that this time Sun Xixiang might really lose his wife and lose his army.Unexpectedly, Shen Feng found Zhun Xin'er at noon the next day, and Sun Xixiang was not the one who released the loan sharks, and Sun Xixiang's money was not among the dirty money collected by the household department.

Hui'an couldn't help being dumbfounded. Where could this fine money go?

It was already 29 years old when Hui'an sent someone to bring Sun Xixiang back from Licheng. She wondered if Sun Xixiang had hidden the usury money, but she also felt that it was impossible for him to have such extraordinary abilities, but apart from this possibility, Hui'an I really can't think of anyone else who would intervene in this matter and destroy the evidence for Sun Xixiang.

Once she saw Sun Xixiang, who was lying on the soft frame, pale and weak, she didn't think that this wretch would have anything to do with this matter.

Because the next day was New Year's Eve, Hui'an only watched the servants wait for Sun Xixiang to lie down, so he didn't bother to talk to him and went back to Rongliyuan.Back in the room, she sat upright and pondered for a moment, her complexion involuntarily turned ugly.

Mother Fang watched from the side, thinking that Hui An was uncomfortable because of the loan sharking incident and because Sun Xixiang had escaped, so she persuaded her.

"Girl, this is not all a bad thing. If the master's loan usury is revealed, our Hou's Mansion will be implicated too. After all, most of the money comes from our Hou's Mansion. We really can't tell."

Hui An was startled when she heard the words, smiled and nodded at Nanny Fang, and said, "I'm not doing this, I'm thinking about tomorrow's New Year's Eve to worship the ancestors. This year is different from previous years. Uncle's family must participate in the ancestor worship. Things have been busy for several days, and now that Sun Xixiang has lost his money, he is afraid that he will miss the Hou Mansion even more. It would be better if there is no trouble in tomorrow's ancestor worship ceremony. Mansion, I don’t know what gossip will come out even if he is outside. But now that he has been picked up, I feel blocked."

Mother Fang sighed when she heard the words, and said: "There's nothing you can do about it. It's an established fact that my uncle will return to the mansion. You must attend the ancestor worship ceremony tomorrow. Even if you want to stop me, you won't be able to do it. Miss." Don't think too much, those who celebrate the New Year should think about those good things and be happy."

After Shen Feng's family moved into Xikuayuan, Shen Feng also brought four Tong cousins ​​and Tong family to Shen Qiang's grave to worship. Things are delayed.

She wanted to set off the ancestor worship on New Year's Eve, and settled the matter together.The opening of the ancestral hall and offering sacrifices to the ancestors is considered a certainty, and no one can say anything else.

Therefore, Hui'an took this matter very seriously. At first, she thought that Sun Xixiang would definitely use this matter to cause trouble, and the soldiers would come to cover it up.But today seeing him lying on the bed staring at her darkly and viciously, Hui'an suddenly feels restless, and she doesn't want to see him at all when she is happy tomorrow, and be entangled in such nonsense again.

Since he is sick, let him be more completely sick, so sick that he can't even get out of bed, and can't participate in Ming'er's ancestor worship ceremony, wouldn't that be better.

Hui An's eyes turned cold as he thought about it, and said: "Nurse, go and call Chun Ying, I have something to order."

The next day, the whole house began to change the door gods up and down, pasting Spring Festival couplets, the gate and the second door are pasted with Wumen gods, and Wen door gods are pasted on the doors of the inner courtyards of each house, but it is just something like "Fu Lu Shou Xi", "Full of Children and Grandchildren" and so on. Festive lettering.As long as the red Spring Festival couplets are posted and the red lanterns are picked up, there will be a New Year atmosphere.

On New Year's Eve, ancestor Hui'an deliberately dressed up, wearing a brocade cotton padded jacket with a fox collar, and a brown skirt with eight patterns of gold thread. Fang is extravagant and very decent.

The ancestral hall of the Hou Mansion is on the east side of the courtyard, facing east from the west. The pavilions and terraces in the ancestral hall are simple and simple in construction.As soon as it was dark, Hui'an, Shen Feng's family, all the deacons, internal and external housekeepers, housekeepers, and maidservants came to the ancestral hall with Shen Feng's family.

As soon as they entered the ancestral hall, the servants knelt down in the second courtyard as ordered, and the third courtyard was the main hall where the tablets of Shen Qiang and Shen Qing were enshrined. The white marble steps were brightly lit by the bright lanterns on the eaves.

Ordinary women are not allowed to enter the ancestral hall, but the Fengyang Marquis Mansion is an exception. In previous years, Huian brought Sun Xixiang into the ancestral hall to worship.Now Sun Xixiang was too sick to get up, and Shen Feng's family was there, before Shen Feng hit, Hui An and three Tong cousins ​​entered the main hall one after another, but Tong could only kneel at the entrance of the hall.

Apples, dried fruits, vegetarian dishes, rice cakes, ingots, etc. were already offered on the altar table in the main hall. Everyone offered incense and worship in turn. According to the etiquette system, it was half an hour after the ancestor worship was completed.

Sun Xixiang didn't show up for the entire worship ceremony, but when Hui An came out, she saw those servants who often went in and out of Chunyun Yuan kneeling on the ground trembling, and they didn't dare to look up at her, Hui An had a sneer on her face.

When they returned to the main hall, Hui An kowtowed to Shen Feng and Tong Shi respectively, and both of them smiled and rewarded her New Year's purse. Hui An knew that it was a silver note when she held the light, and couldn't help being moved, and said with a smile on her face. Said several pleasant words.

Then she gave blessings to the three older brothers, and it was inevitable that she got a lot of good things.Originally, Shen Datong's wife, Mrs. Xu, and their children were supposed to be picked up for the New Year's Day, but Mrs. Xu received the news that she was pregnant. Because Mrs. Xu's health has always been poor, and it was the beginning of her pregnancy, Mrs. Tong was afraid that the bumps on the road would bring her back. When something happened, he asked Shen Datong to go back and watch over his wife and children.When Hui'an heard that Mrs. Xu was pregnant, she had to ask Nanny Fang to pack up a lot of supplements for Shen Datong to bring.

Before the New Year's Eve dinner, out of etiquette, Hui'an had to go around the Chunyun Courtyard again, but Sun Xixiang was so dizzy from illness, Hui'an only said a few words at the door, such as "serve well", and then came back.

The New Year's Eve dinner was very lively, and after finishing the meal, Hui'an sat in the inner hall with Mrs. Tong to watch the new year together. In the past, Hui'an never managed to make it through, because she was the only one who was watching the new year in Rongliyuan. Look, sometimes Nanny Fang loves her so much that she helps her lie down early.This year, because it was lively and Hui'an was rarely happy, she received Midnight without knowing it.
