Heroes of the Sons and Daughters

Chapter 76 Flowers and candles in the painting hall are born in an instant
Inside one was a hat, a box of homework, a pair of men's boots, a pair of sandals, and two pairs of socks.There are two small boxes in one box, one box is a golden hairpin that imitates a holy hand picking blue, but in the other hand is a small gold nine-link ring; the other box is a pair of sweat-soaked jade cattail bracelets.The rest was also a box of homework, a pair of boots, a pair of shoes, and two pairs of socks.Then he asked the girl to hand over to her parents-in-law.Mrs. An was very happy to see her aunt's meticulous care, and said, "This is a girl who will love her!"

The uncle and wife also laughed and said: "Niu Niu is clumsy, and she can't do a good job. Let her wife take care of him slowly."However, Mr. An had no choice but to accept it because of his family affection. He thought in his heart that things were not learned from the past, and that they were not classics.

At this moment, Mrs. An took the nine chains out of the drawer and put them on her head.Because he called out, "Where is Elder Sister?" I saw a maid walking by, with a tall and slender body, a round face with black dough, and two heavy eyelids, quite charming. Satisfactory.The wife told him, "Bring me my box." The maid promised, and after a short while, she brought a brocade box.

Open it, but inside is a wild goose hairpin and a pair of gold bracelets.

The wife was smoking a cigarette, so she nodded and called the girl.When the girl came to the front, the wife handed the cigarette bag to the maid, and Miss Zhang came over and used the hairpin to pick up the stretched thread on the drawer.I only heard my wife say: "I have a pair of hairpins. Your sister gave him one the day she kowtowed, and she also has such a pair of bracelets. I made another pair as usual, and now I give it to you." Yin said: "You lower your head , I'll put it on for you." The girl bent down and lowered her head, asking her mother-in-law to put it on.The wife put on the pair of bracelets for him again, then pulled him to look at his hand carefully, and then looked at the "shougong sand" on his arm while chatting with him.But it's a strange thing, even some shadows are gone!The wife was very happy, looked at the two daughters-in-law, looked at this, looked at that, and said: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, what a good couple!" The girl thanked her mother-in-law.

Seeing that his wife had rewarded his daughter-in-law with salute, Mr. An held his mustache and shouted, "Come, bring me the share I gave to grandma." All the waiters agreed and carried a generous The plate came, covered with a big red digging slip.The master then said: "Daughter-in-law, come here. Since you are such a good daughter-in-law, don't I know how to reward you with some rare treasures? But today is the beginning of your marriage, and it is indecent to use these vulgar things. I have a few other things here, you Take a look." Miss Zhang withdrew the red digging slip.When the girl looked at it, she saw a cloth towel, a coarse cloth towel, a big awl, a small awl, a piece of flint and fire chain, a piece of lamp and a whetstone in the square plate.There is also a small red cloth pocket, I don't know what is in it.Miss Zhang took it out of her pocket, but there was a needle prick containing the needle and a thread board around which the thread was wound.

When the girl saw it, she said in her heart, "I'm so confused!" She was wondering, but it was hard to ask.Mr. An then said: "Perhaps you don't understand the purpose of these things. In the Book of Rites, there is a saying in the "Internal Regulations": "Women are like uncles and aunts, like parents. The first crowing of chickens, the salty wash, the combs Mr. Ji, a gentleman of clothes, wears a scorpion on the left, a sharp knife, a small scorpion, a golden sapphire, a scorpion on the right, a thread scorpion, a Shi scorpion, a large scorpion, a wooden sash, and a scorpion tassel to make it fit for the place of parents and uncles. .' This square of coarse cloth is called '帨', and it is used to wash things when it gets wet. This piece of cloth is called 'Fen', and it is used to wipe things when it is dry. These two awls are called 'big 槹' and 'small 槹' , It is used to open the bottle mouth and the lid of the box. The whetstone is called "Dao Li", and it is used to sharpen the blade and meat when serving in-laws to eat. The fire chain piece is used instead of "Jin Sui", and the lamp is used instead. 'Wooden flint' is used for making fire. These two things are still subject to authority. In theory, then 'golden flint' must use a fire mirror to make fire from the sun, and 'wooden flint' must use a drill to make fire from a tree. So the ancients picked elm and willow in spring, jujube and apricot in summer, mulberry in summer, oak tree in autumn, and locust sandalwood in winter. Now my manor is not full of trees. Besides, when it is cloudy, the fire mirror is really inconvenient , That’s why I have prepared two things for you, the chain of fire and the lamp. The bag is called ‘縏袠’, and the needle in it is the ‘pron tube’, and the thread that is wound is the ‘thread 纩’. It is for the parents-in-law to sew couplets. There are nine items in total. This is a must for the daughter-in-law to serve Wenggu. I think your parents are still alive, so I will definitely not be able to prepare this for you, so I follow the ancient system and prepare these. One reward for you. According to ancient rituals, when a daughter-in-law visits Wenggu every day, these things should be worn with her, but people’s hearts are not old now. If you wear them, everyone will be surprised, so they have to change their powers and let them go. Keep it as a spare. However, such a great gift is unavoidable." The girl had no choice but to say thank you one by one.

Of the people in the room at the moment, only the wife supported the answer, and the rest of the relatives and women, big and small, all smiled.The master still has a serious face.Thinking about this set of words again, an uncle and wife who had seen the world heard it, and said: "Oh, according to my aunt, isn't this the 'Secret Crow Mihan Fengku' [Secret Crow Mihan Fengku] we are carrying now? Ku: Manchu, a hand towel for dressing up], it’s called Bai, what’s on his mother’s hand towel?”

It turns out that this thing has a classic.The master never imagined that after talking for a long time, such a confidant came out, and he clapped his hands and knees happily, and said, "Of course! It can be seen that what I am talking about is not groundless. The Chinese dialect of 'Secret Crow Mihan Fengku' is called To make 'Caibei', 帨, that is, hand towels. It's just that now we can use embroidered silk hand towels, and even those things are made of gold, silver and jewelry. gone."

After listening to her father-in-law's lecture, the bride meets her relatives one by one, which is commonly known as "dividing children by size".The first one is Deng Jiugong.Mr. An personally went out to invite you in. He saw the old man standing on the ground with his chest bulging in his arms and said, "Forget it." Receive the gift."

With that said, let him sit down.Two newcomers came to salute.Kowtowed to the second head, he got up early and came over, pulled up the young master and said: "Old nephew, aunt, aunt, please come. Husband honors wife, son is filial and grandson is virtuous." After speaking, he returned his hand and took it out of his arms. Half a day later, he took out a large brocade bundle and opened it. Inside was a sapphire lotus moon vase, four children knelt on one leg and carried the vase at the four corners, counting it as a foot, and a sandalwood seat.He put it on the table and said to the young master: "Look at this bottle, I hope your family is safe and sound. May the lotus flowers on the top be kind to his sisters, and according to the number of these four dolls, every day Someone gave your parents two grandchildren. This thing has a name called "Four Seas Peace". Old nephew, you will become a high-ranking official in the future, and you will be a big official in the future, and you will be able to contribute to the Long Live family. Wear a red Dingzi, let your old man and old lady be famous and beautiful, okay? Don't look at this jade love, it's old, it was given by my hometown on the day I caught Zhou'er! The three of you are older than me!" How auspicious do you think this is!Mr. An hurriedly asked the young master and his two daughter-in-laws to thank him.Mrs. An also said: "It would be great if I could do everything according to Uncle Ninth's words." He said: "I will definitely do it! I will do it!" Then he went out.

Here, my uncle and wife, Mrs. Zhang and his wife, and Mrs. Chu all received the ceremony.My uncle and wife gave me a few pieces of home-made clothes. The old Zhang and his wife gave me a four-and-a-half-foot headband prepared by my daughter. Mrs. Chu gave us gifts such as embroidered collars, pull-up sleeves, knee pants, etc. .The rest are all of the same generation, and they are not willing to accept the ceremony, just seeing each other.

Outside, Deng, Zhang and Chu went to the men's banquet yesterday, and today a women's banquet is set up inside.Mrs. Chu is the chief, uncle and wife are the second seat, Mrs. Zhang is the third seat, and Mrs. An is the last seat.The young masters passed the wine one by one, and they were acquaintances of each other, so there was no need for three rounds of wine and two soups, and everyone began to eat seriously.After being persuaded by everyone for a long time, Mrs. Zhang still refused to break her fast, thinking that he must be treated.After dinner, the uncle and wife stood up and said, "My wife, please forgive me for not sticking to the customary etiquette. I have to arrange a round meal for our uncle and aunt." Then, they passed the new house go.

A banquet was neatly set up on the kang there early in the morning. My uncle and wife asked Mr. An and Miss He to sit side by side on it, and I and Miss Zhang accompanied me from east to west.Mr. An is the former Liu Lang, and Ms. He is commonplace, so there is no need to be very shy, so they raised their eyebrows and had a meal together.So far, the auspicious ceremony is complete.From then on, the three of them asked An Shishan, Ge Yan listened to chickens; Qing Xiu Nong sang, and women sang with their husbands.

Where in the world is there such a family, such a joy?Isn't it a happy reunion?Unexpectedly, the idler in Yanbei still has most of the articles, and this "Legend of Heroes and Heroes" has only ended in the third episode.This is exactly:

The inkstone is to be worn through the double tube.The bow must have a very round path.

If you want to know what happened next, I will explain it in the next book.
