Chapter 148: Various Performances
After the Chinese Valentine's Day, Erniang held a small party, and the Zhou family returned to peace.
Time is like running water, passing through the scene of a flower meeting and a poetry meeting. Seeing that it is getting closer and closer to the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Xue saw that she came to discuss the festival with Er Niang and stepped into the door. She looked happy, as if she had heard something happy. When she saw Xue, she smiled deeper on her lips. After a simple salute, she hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law came just in time!"
Xue looked at the equally happy Si Niang next to her and asked curiously, "You seem to be very happy today?"
"Sister-in-law, come and see this." Er Niang carefully took out a red sandalwood box from the couch behind her. The box was about a foot square, and the four corners were wrapped in gold foil. At first glance, it was used to hold valuables.
Xuejian was clear about the previous family background of the Zhou family, so he thought it should be Er Niang's new head and so on, so he asked curiously, "What is a good thing... What is a good thing? It's also worth your happiness."
Waiting for Er Niang to answer, she had reached out to take it, opened the box and took a look. A branch-like thing lay in it!
The brocade-like brocade in the box shows the dryness of the branch more and more.
Originally, Xue saw what material it was made of, but she thought, no, who would make it such an ugly look? As jewelry, you have become a tree fairy in the ghost film! As an ornament, it is too small. Take it up carefully with your hand, hungry, and almost flashed to your hand!
Even if Xue saw that she had no more knowledge and raised her hand in front of her, she still couldn't recognize that this was an ordinary tree branch, and she would live for two lives in vain!
I only heard Er Niang say in a slightly proud tone: "This is a tree, which is a thousand-year-old tree tree from the three-star view of Phoenix Mountain in Hedong!" It is the most effective way to pray for the elders.
That's still a branch! Xue Jian didn't understand. This ancient man, of course, he is also an ancient man now. Why did the ancients think that they could pray for blessings by burning branches? They really don't understand all kinds of things. In case they burn branches, before they have time to pray, this branch will burn wood. Isn't it burning for nothing? Looking at the branches in his hand, Xue Jian asked hesitantly, "Will this tree... be shorter?"
"What did my sister-in-law say?" Er Niang is in a very good mood today. She didn't care about the tone of Xue's words. She happily grabbed the box and couldn't help boasting: "Zhu Niang is really careful. I only mentioned a little word to pray for her parents. She has always remembered that she didn't go back to Hedong a while ago, but also wanted to ask someone to bring it back to me."
While talking, Si Niang also took the box like a relay and said with a smile, "On the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is most effective to take it back to her hometown ancestral hall and burn it!"
"Do you still want to take it back to your hometown and burn it?" Xue Jian didn't want to understand that this pearl girl was sacred. How could she feel so strange about the grand ceremony attracted by a branch? I looked up at the inconspicuous branches, and the more I looked at them, the more I felt incomprehensible. Alas, that's all, there are many things in this world that I can't understand, such as my own time travel.
Er Niang carefully put away the box, and then said with a smile, "Isn't it? Only with full sincerity can it be fully effective."
No wonder Er Niang is in such a good mood today. When I just bought a house in Anning, Wang Conghan talked to Zhou Bomi. After that, the eldest brother revealed that there was hope for his parents's matter. She was happy and had been thinking about it all the time. Now she has this branch to pray for blessings. I think she will be able to see her parents soon!
Although Xuejian wanted to look up at the sky at a four- or five-degree angle, it turned out that the key to this matter was on this dead branch! But she is not stupid enough to show it like this. After all, things have turned around, and it is always a happy thing.
Looking at the importance of Erniang and Si Niang's attention to this branch, I think it has some origin or attention to it. According to Xuejian, in terms of the value of the thing itself, on the one thing, it can make Er Niang feel the value of friends, and on the other, it can comfort everyone's hearts, which is enough!
This is the ideal branch of infinite hope placed by everyone!
Thinking about this, Xue Jian's heart also warmed up, so with a shallow smile, she discussed with Er Niang Si Niang to go back to Pingshan Village to worship her ancestors and pray for the festival. I wanted to have a simple and lively Mid-Autumn Festival, but now I have to plan it carefully.
This is also the first time for Xuejian to handle such a ceremonial event. The marriage cannot be counted. That time is called participation, and this time it is called host. The more I think about it, the more nervous I am. This kind of thing is unforgivable.
The housekeeper's young grandmother Xue saw that since she officially took office, there was nothing big for her to let her practice, so she was looking forward to and nervous about returning home to pray for blessings this time, and her mind was running fast. Modern knowledge is not 100% useless, so there is no need to think about it; the folk customs of Dashun are little known, and I am afraid of making taboos. What should I do?
Not to mention, it really reminds Xuejian of a ready-made candidate, the wife of Bai County Magistrate, Bai Yitian's mother-in-law, and Wang Conghan's aunt! Needless to say, her adoptive father is the most impatient with this set of vulgar rites, which is similar to him. Besides, she is not big enough to ask a county magistrate to help her guide her to worship her ancestors. Well, Mrs. Bai is the most suitable. Her status and vision are different from the young Zhou brothers and sisters. It is the absolute truth to ask her for advice!
Mrs. Bai was gentle and elegant, and she did not feel abrupt about Xuejian's visit. On the contrary, Bai Yitian sneered and was scolded by her.
After a general understanding of the situation, Mrs. Bai put forward her own suggestions very earnestly. Xuejian knew that a good brain is not as good as a bad pen. She asked Xiaomei and others to prepare paper and ink and recorded it while listening.
The ambitious Xuejian is eager to show his ability on this major event that the Zhou family is very concerned about. Even if you are a rice worm, you should be a rice worm with trees for the Zhou family, which is Xue Jian's ideal.
Mrs Bai rarely has such an opportunity to show her insights and insights, and explained to her with great interest, "Don't underestimate this blessing. There are really a lot of things to pay attention to." She pointed out that three days in advance, they should fast and clean their hands before burning incense. The accompanying people should first rule out the taboo between the zodiac sign and the blessed person..., Balabala.
Xuejian waterfall sweats. Other than that, a father, a mother, and three aunts, Xuejian doesn't know whether these five people are also five zodiac, but they are taboo with these zodiac, which is really a headache.
"There is a lot of attention, is there anything that can be streamlined?" Xue Jian stroked his forehead with his hand and said with a wry smile, "This is really a pillar of incense, ready for more than half a month!"
Mrs Bai didn't think so and said with a smile, "Don't talk about it. You know, what you need to pray for blessings is the word heart. The etiquette and preparation for this ceremony are all a kind of expression of feelings."
Xuejian sighed and said, "Madam is very true. Xuejian is just worried that she made mistakes in a hurry, but it is not beautiful." Naturally, she knew that this was completely different from the company's tea party, which was the main theme and no noise was allowed.
The mood is so heavy and light. On the one hand, she wants to make Zhou Bo proud of her in this matter, and on the other hand, she is afraid of tedious etiquette. After all, she is a little person who is only used to being led by others. At first glance, she has become the beauty of wealth and has now become the chief director. The Spring Festival Gala directed by the people of the whole country. , this is really a green willow, half the river is cold, half the river, half covered the face of the pipa, half pity you and half annoy you! It's messy!
Seeing her little face smiling and worriedly, Mrs. Bai reminded with a smile, "I'm afraid this matter should be started as soon as possible. It's the Mid-Autumn Festival. It's the first trouble to exclude the subordinates of the criminal."
"That's true." Xue Jian immediately reacted and quickly asked Xiaomei to remember this as the first thing. "Go and discuss it with the second lady first, and then leave the taboo zodiac. You can go back to Pingshan Village together and get familiar with the rules of sacrifice."
Xiaomei naturally agreed, nodded obediently and said, "Grandma, don't worry. When I go back later, I will go to ask the second lady."
After hearing this, Er Niang was naturally in a hurry. Naturally, she was familiar with the zodiac and birthday of the five elders, so she specially invited people to calculate and investigate the subordinates one by one. In this way, there were more than half fewer people who could go back to Pingshan to worship their ancestors together. Especially when Xue saw that Xiaomei and Xiaotao around her were excluded, Er Niang also felt sorry and recruited people at the moment, and the big girl could not get started so soon. So she called Pearl, the girl who had been named by Xuejian two days ago, and knocked her for a long time.
Although Pearl is young, she is willing to be attentive and clever. She listened quietly for a long time and said, "Please rest assured, Miss II. I will take good care of the young lady."
"Not bad." When Er Niang saw that Pearl was smart, she felt a little comforted and said earnestly, "This time, you only followed, but in half a month, you performed well, and when you came back, you became a big girl. With this, the master has to think about the master's affairs from his heart, and does not point to you to help the master's worries. It is the first achievement to make the master worry less.
When she came back, Zhou Bo also told her. Zhu Er met Zhou Bo and listened tremblingly. She only felt that her back was soaked. She thought to herself, how could the young lady marry a man like the young master who could scare people to death?
Fortunately, I'm just serving the young grandmother. It's difficult for Sister Xing and Sister Li. How can I survive at ordinary times?
I have always known that this young master and the young grandmother have a very good relationship. In order not to be "in care" of by the young master, Pearl has also made up her mind that she will perform well this time when she returns to her hometown!
Because Xiaomei and Xiaotao can't follow, it shows the importance of Pearl. Xiaomei also came to remind her: "The young grandma is humane. We should be more grateful to be slaves and want to be in front of the master. If you come back and let me know that you are missing, I won't forgive you!"
Pearl hurriedly expressed her loyalty and said, "Zhuer will not humiliate Xiaomei this time. At least Zhuer was also taught by Xiaomei."
