Chapter 532: What is the difference between not showing off and being a salted fish?
"Unworthy Sun Zhu Ping'an/granddaughter-in-law Li Shu, it is the work of heaven, the combination of earth and earth, the order of parents, the words of the media, Qin and Jin have already When they are successful, they become a family; they raise their eyebrows and respect each other as guests; they have children and carry on the family life; their family is prosperous and prosperous. Zong Yaozu. Heaven and earth bless and ancestors know.”
In the Zhu family ancestral hall, Zhu Ping’an and Li Shu read the “Announcement” and then placed the lit incense in the ancestral hall. In the incense burner in front of him, he stepped back three steps and stood still, making a big salute with his hands together, and then knelt down to salute the ancestral tablet.
This is a necessary procedure to inform the ancestors about the marriage and seek their blessings.
While Zhu Pingan was saluting Li Shu, his grandmother, eldest aunt, third aunt, and fourth aunt were waiting outside the ancestral hall. In addition to Zhu Pingan and Li Shu, there was also Zhu Pingan and Li Shu standing nearby. The old man and his uncle Zhu Shouren.
Zhu Pingan and Li Shu just entered the old house and met their grandmother and aunt. After Zhu Pingan introduced the elders to Li Shu, their grandmother and others told Zhu Pingan that Mr. Zhu and his uncle Zhu Shouren were at the ancestral hall at the moment. Because his uncle Zhu Shouren was about to go to Yingtian Mansion to take part in the childbirth examination, it was customary to go to the ancestral hall to worship and inform his ancestors before going on a long trip or before any important events, so as to seek their blessings.
Zhu Pingan brought Li Shu to his old house. In addition to bringing Li Shu to meet Mr. Zhu and other elders of the Zhu family, his other purpose was to come to the ancestral hall to inform his ancestors about his marriage and seek their blessings. This is also A necessary step in wedding customs.
So, after hearing the news that his grandfather and uncle were at the ancestral hall, Zhu Pingan talked to his grandmother and the others, and then took Li Shu to the ancestral hall. When we arrived at the ancestral hall, my grandfather and uncle had just finished worshiping their ancestors and wanted to go back.
The uncle was wearing a brand-new long-sleeved round collar with a straight tie. His face was elegant and elegant. He was not embarrassed to see Zhu Ping'an. It seemed that one day he was trying to get family property and was beaten by Mr. Zhu with a stick. Nothing ever happened. Grandfather's weather was very violent that day, but now he is calm.
Grandma and the others also came with them, but their female relatives were not allowed to enter the ancestral hall. They could come in only once when they were newly married, and then they could not enter the ancestral hall casually.
After Zhu Ping'an and the others paid homage to their ancestors' tablets, they all returned to their old house together. After arriving at the old house, they returned to the main room of the old house. Mr. Zhu and Mrs. Zhu sat on chairs and accepted tea from Li Shu.
When Li Shu and the others went to the ancestral hall, the few girls who stayed in the old house had already boiled water and made tea.
"Grandpa, please have tea."
Li Shu first served Mr. Zhu fragrant tea with both hands. A small saucer held a cup of fragrant tea. There were two red dates and lotus seeds in the fragrant tea. The implication is to create a noble son.
“Okay, okay.”
Mr. Zhu looked at Zhu Ping'an and Li Shu who were kneeling in front of him, with a smile on his face and he said "hello" twice. His grandson Zhu Ping'an is less than fifteen years old and is already the number one scholar in the Ming Dynasty, and he is already a sixth-rank official. He has a bright future. This is unique in the Ming Dynasty. It really gives the old Zhu family face. This is the old Zhu family There is smoke rising from the ancestral graves. When you go out now, who doesn't say that you have a wonderful grandson? Granddaughter-in-law Li Shu is the daughter of a wealthy family. She is good-looking, filial and sensible and manages the household. Her reputation has spread throughout the town, and she will definitely be a good housekeeper in the future.
However, after receiving the tea from his grandson-in-law Li Shu, Mr. Zhu couldn't help but feel a sense of regret in his heart, and he couldn't help but think of the past. Hey, if he hadn't It would be better if the second child's family were separated early.
"Grandma, please have some tea." Li Shufu held another cup of fragrant tea in both hands and handed it to Mrs. Zhu.
"Well, okay." Mrs. Zhu said simply.
After serving tea, Mrs. Zhu gave Li Shu a red envelope wrapped in red paper on behalf of Mr. Zhu.
"Granddaughter-in-law, thank you grandpa and grandma."
Li Shu took the red envelope and thanked her sweetly with a smile on her face. Of course, I don’t know what I think in my heart. After all, you will know the red envelope as soon as you get it, no more than ten copper coins.
Generally speaking, after drinking the tea served by the new wife, the elders will give something from the bottom of the box as a greeting gift. It is still rare for Mrs. Zhu to use copper coins as a greeting gift. After all, every family Every household will have some things that are kept in the box. The Zhu family’s old house has more knowledge than the average family in the village, so there will be no shortage of things that are kept in the box.
After serving tea to Mr. Zhu and Mrs. Zhu, Zhu Pingan and Li Shu stood up and served tea to the uncle and others in turn. After receiving the tea, everyone said a few words of congratulations on the wedding, except the uncle.
“Xie’er got married, and from now on he will be an adult. From now on, he must take responsibility for his behavior.”
Uncle Zhu Shouren was wearing a brand-new long-sleeved round-neck dress. After receiving the tea, he scratched the tea lid twice and took a sip and put it on the table. He stood in front of Zhu Ping'an with his hands behind his back, taking on the airs of an elder and speaking earnestly and kindly. Lure.
“I will follow my uncle’s instructions.” Zhu Pingan slightly arched his hands.
"Yes." Uncle Zhu Shouren stroked his beard and nodded, very much like an elder.
After serving tea, everyone chatted for a few more words, and then the topic naturally turned to the matter of the uncle going to Yingtian Mansion to take the exam.
“This time I go to Yingtianfu Academy to take the exam. Everything is ready. Just waiting for me to enter the venue to test my skills, I can get everything.”
Uncle Zhu Shouren took two steps with his hands behind his back, stroking his beard, with a confident smile on his face, and he looked confident, which is very typical of everyone.
What is the difference between not showing off and salty fish? ! Uncle Zhu Shouren fully verified this truth.
Uh
Looking at his uncle Zhu Shouren's posture of being struck by lightning, Zhu Ping'an didn't know what to say. Speaking of which, he must have heard his uncle's words several times. I remember that the last time I took part in the childbirth examination, I heard my uncle say similar words in Changting. I also heard it probably several times on other occasions.
"My nephew would like to wish my uncle a successful start by being named on the gold medal list." Zhu Ping'an twitched the corners of his lips and said something against his will.
In fact, Zhu Ping'an still disliked his uncle very much, not for no reason, but because he and his uncle went to Yingtian Mansion last time to take the exam. His series of actions made people unable to think highly of him at all.
The imperial examination and going to Yingtian to take the exam are more like a publicly funded trip to the uncle. He sells iron at home and saves money to save money for the uncle. The uncle used these money stained by the blood and sweat of the family to live a romantic and happy life.
Haha, it seems that I went to the exam with my uncle last time. For dozens of days, I didn’t see my uncle read the book or prepare for the exam once, not even once. It is quite common to see uncles going out to drink or have banquets with this or that other person, cheering on, condolences and condolences to the delinquent women of this era, and it is quite common for them to fight over each other and become jealous. The day before the exam, the uncle did not forget to express condolences to the girl who had lost her footing
"It seems that She'er has full confidence in the uncle." The uncle Zhu Shouren looked at Zhu Pingan while stroking his beard and nodded with satisfaction.
Oh, let me go. Your eyes can see that I have full confidence in you. Zhu Pingan was speechless for a while. (End of chapter)
