Chapter 1545: Tiger Girl 29
The ancestral hall is in a remote corner of the General's Mansion, just like other ancestral halls of large families. In addition to paying homage to ancestors, the descendants are made to kneel there to reflect and wake up.
The three brothers and the two concubine sisters have all been punished, but the owner has never been punished.
It's not that the body owner has done nothing wrong, but that only his biological father has the right to be punished. General Zhao only comes back when the Chinese New Year is approaching and leaves at the beginning of spring. How many days can he stay?
Every time she bumped into the muzzle and was about to be punished, Mrs. Zhao hugged her and cried and cursed: "Li'er is weak and can't kneel down. Do you want her to go there to see her ancestors directly? Wait until she stretches her legs and closes her eyes." , you can explain it to your ancestors. If I had known this, I wouldn't have had to give birth to her with almost my life..."
As a result, General Zhao had no choice but to give up. When the body owner gradually grew up, he also knew that when his father came back, he would tighten his tail. Once General Zhao left, it was not Mrs. Zhao who had the final say in the house.
When we arrived in front of the ancestral hall, except for the people from the old lady's courtyard who hadn't come yet, everyone else had arrived.
Aunt Xu and Zhao Yingxue from Jingxi Courtyard also arrived early. The eldest daughter Zhao Yingyu was already married. Naturally, she was not here and there was no need to worship her ancestors.
Aunt Xu was wearing a plain brocade coat, with white rabbit fur trimming the collar, cuffs and skirt. She was furry and slightly smeared with makeup, making her face more like pink jade, making her look even more delicate.
It's really hard to connect with those rugged Hun women who can carry lambs and calves with a face that looks like water.
When Aunt Xu saw them coming, she smiled and bowed slightly to salute: "Well done, Mr. Third, and well, Miss."
This is the clever thing about Aunt Xu. She does not say she is the third lady, but the young lady. This distinguishes her from the two concubine ladies.
Zhao Yingxue, who was standing next to Aunt Xu, quickly saluted as well. She looks harmonious and doesn't seem aggrieved at all.
Xining couldn't help but secretly praise Aunt Xu for giving birth to a good daughter. My own mother saluted, and she quickly saluted with her. If you meet someone who looks down on you as your own mother, you will not follow them. You will want to hide as far away as possible.
She nodded in return: "We are all members of our own family, so my aunt and second sister don't need to be polite."
Zhao Yingyue also said: "Yes, there is no need to be polite." But after taking another look, he thought that his little sister was really enlightened.
"Yes~" Aunt Xu stood up straight with a smile still on her face.
Zhao Heming saw that his seven-year-old sister Zhao Heya's face was red from the cold, and he couldn't help complaining: "When will this great-grandmother come? In the future, we should wait until they go out before we come out, otherwise we will stand here and drink the cold wind every time."< br>
The eldest son, Zhao Yinglei, glared and blew his beard: "What nonsense are you talking about! Your great-grandmother is old and her legs and feet are inconvenient, so she naturally walks slower. So what if you wait? Your elders are all waiting, and it is your turn to talk nonsense."< br>
After being scolded a lot, Zhao Heming didn't give up: "You can sit in a sedan chair if you have limited legs and feet. My sister is still young, my third aunt is in such bad health, and my mother still has a little brother and sister in her arms. I have to wait. I will go to the palace to wait for my mother today. It doesn’t take that long. After all, it doesn’t hurt!”
Then he lowered his voice and muttered: "We are not biological after all."
"Say it again!" Zhao Yinglei was so angry that he raised his hand to hit him.
When Zhao Heming saw something was wrong, he immediately hid behind the crown prince's wife, He, and shouted: "Mom, dad is going to beat me."
Mr. He stood in the way and smoothed things over: "Okay, okay, it's the Chinese New Year. Do you want your ancestors to wait until tomorrow with wounds on their faces?"
Zhao Yinglei said angrily: "You are used to it."
"So what if I'm used to it?" When Mrs. He gave birth to Zhao Heming, it was difficult to give birth. She gave birth to Zhao Heming for a day and a night, and she lost her health. It took several years for her to become pregnant with another daughter, and now she is finally pregnant with another daughter, so she held out her belly and spoke loudly: "How can a father be like this? Look at Third Sister, my parents-in-law are never willing to lift a finger. , now we are not like girls. Boys are naughty when they are young, but they will naturally become more sensible when they grow up.”
Zhao Yinglei didn't look at the monk's face, but also at the big belly. Even the heavy imperial robes couldn't suppress it, so he could only lower his voice: "Okay, what are you doing to raise Third Sister?" He rolled his eyes at him, said nothing, and turned around Pulling up the hood on Zhao Heya's cloak, she covered her little face that was flushed with cold: "It's cold, it'll be fine later."
It was almost past time as we sat and waited, and the second lady, Mrs. Chen, arrived belatedly.
Mrs. Chen was still wearing her official court uniform and bowed her head slightly to General Zhao: "General, I'm so sorry. The old lady felt uncomfortable after she came back from the palace. She stayed in the house for a while, but she still didn't come back to her senses. The only option is to lie down. She asked me to come over and tell her that there is no need to wait for her. Just do what you should do.”
General Zhao cupped his fists and saluted, and then asked: "How is mother now?"
Chen replied: "It's nothing, maybe I'm tired. After all, I'm getting older."
Mrs. Zhao secretly rolled her eyes, but on the surface she remained the same: "In that case, it's getting late, sir, let's get started."
This large family, under the leadership of General Zhao, entered the ancestral hall in order, arranged according to seniority, elder and younger.
Aunt Xu and Zhao Yingxue had to separate at this time. Zhao Yingxue stood behind the third lady, while Aunt Xu stood on the outside, with the housekeeper behind her.
After General Zhao offered incense and said some words of blessing from his ancestors, everyone followed him by bowing three times and kowtowing.
Xining could only kowtow along with him. It was really funny when he thought about it. Human beings just like this. The ancestors have nothing to worship and remember, and living is the most important thing. If you die, you will die. That's all. There are a few ancestors who can still take care of things. Otherwise, when the General's Mansion was destroyed, no ancestors came out to warn them.
Mo Ming: "That's because the general's strength has been exhausted."
Qi number, what Qi number?
Mo Ming: "To have long-term peace and stability, we need the right time, right place, and the right people. The body owner's father is too self-righteous and thinks that the military exploits he and his ancestors have made are enough to show their loyalty to the court. But he forgot that he must first stand in the right position. During the war , the two armies are about to clash, what will happen to the people standing in the middle?”
Of course, once a war breaks out, the first to suffer are the people in the middle. Regardless of whether the attack is overt or covert, the person in the middle is the target first.
Xining suddenly knew something and immediately asked: "Who became the emperor later?"
Mo Ming: "Guess."
Xining... Grandma, has anyone seen such a cheap system?
You know it but don't say it. If you know who will be the emperor in the future, then you should be able to save the general's palace by hugging your thighs as much as possible.
If you don't know anything, if you guess blindly, once you guess wrong, the consequences will still be serious and the ending will be tragic.
Mo Ming: "Such a simple thing, not to mention cultivating your abilities. In fact, it is very simple to guess..."
The worship service was over, but Mo Ming still didn't say the second half of the sentence.
The heroines of each family walked out of the ancestral hall with the support of their maids. Xining couldn't help but asked: "How do you guess?"
"When you seek to usurp the throne and become the empress, you will naturally know who will be the emperor."
Xining...well, this ability is too great, Shuchennu can't do it!
