Chapter 528 What is the difference between not pretending and salted fish
"Unworthy grandson Zhu Ping'an/granddaughter-in-law Li Shu, the work of God, the harmony of earth, the orders of parents, the words of mediators, Qin and Jin have become one family. They raise eyebrows and respect each other as guests; give birth to children and continue the inheritance.
Family destiny; prosper the family and honor the ancestors. Heaven and earth bless you, and your ancestors know you."
In the Zhu family ancestral hall, Zhu Ping'an and Li Shu stood in front of the ancestor's memorial tablet and read the "Announcement", then inserted the lit incense into the incense burner in front of the ancestral tablet, took three steps back and stood still, bowed their hands and knelt down.
Pay homage to 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, Mr. Zhu and his uncle Zhu Shouren were also standing in the ancestral hall.
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 the others told Zhu Pingan that Mr. Zhu and his uncle Zhu Shouren were at the ancestral hall at the moment. Because the uncle Zhu Shouren was about to go to Yingtian Mansion.
I went to participate in the Tongsheng Examination. According to the custom, before traveling far away, I should go to the ancestral hall to worship and inform my ancestors before any important events, so as to seek their blessings.
Zhu Ping'an 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 must for wedding customs.
program.
Therefore, after hearing the news that his grandfather and uncle were at the ancestral hall, Zhu Pingan talked to his grandmother and others, and then took Li Shu to the ancestral hall. When they arrived at the ancestral hall, his grandfather and uncle had just finished worshiping their ancestors and were about to go back.
The uncle was currently wearing a brand-new long-sleeved round collar with a straight tie, and his face was elegant and elegant. He was not embarrassed to see Zhu Ping'an, as if he was beaten by Mr. Zhu with a stick one day when he tried to get the family property. Grandpa had never happened.
The weather was violent that day, but now it is peaceful.
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, but they could not enter the ancestral hall casually after that.
After Zhu Ping'an and the others paid homage to their ancestors' tablets, they all returned to the 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 girls who stayed in the old house had already boiled water and made tea.
"Grandpa, please have some tea."
Li Shu first served Mr. Zhu fragrant tea with both hands. A cup of fragrant tea was held on a small saucer. There were two red dates and lotus seeds in the fragrant tea, which meant that he would have a noble son.
"well."
Mr. Zhu looked at Zhu Pingan and Li Shu who were kneeling in front of him, with a smile on his face and he was very pleased. He said hello twice. His grandson Zhu Pingan was less than fifteen years old and was already the number one scholar in the Ming Dynasty.
He is now a sixth-grade official and has a bright future. This is unique in the Ming Dynasty. It really brings shame to Lao Zhu’s parents. This is smoke rising from the graves of Lao Zhu’s family. Who can go out now and not say that they have a good grandson?
My grandson's daughter-in-law, Li Shu, is the daughter of a wealthy family. She is good-looking, filial and sensible in running the household. Her reputation has spread throughout the town, and she will definitely be a good wife 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 only he hadn't brought his second son and his family to the hospital earlier.
Just share it out.
"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 she thinks in her heart. After all, she knew the red envelope as soon as she got it, and it didn't cost 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 meeting gift. It is rare for Mrs. Zhu to use copper coins as a meeting gift like this. After all, every household will have something from the bottom of the box.
When it comes to stuff, the Zhu family's old house has more knowledge than the average house in the village, so there is no shortage of stuff at the bottom of the box.
After serving tea to Mr. Zhu and Mrs. Zhu, Zhu Ping'an 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 newlyweds, except the uncle.
"Xie'er has a family. 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. He put it on the table and stood in front of Zhu Pingan with his hands behind his back. He took on the air of an elder and said sincerely and kindly.
Lure the way.
"I sincerely follow your uncle's teachings." Zhu Pingan slightly arched his hands.
"Yes." Uncle Zhu Shouren stroked his beard and nodded, showing the demeanor of 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. It's just waiting for me to go in and test my skills, and then 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 was very typical of everyone.
What's the difference between not showing off and salty fish?! Uncle Zhu Shouren fully verified this truth.
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 the last time I took part in the childbirth examination, I heard what his uncle said in Changting.
I have heard similar words probably several times on other occasions.
"My nephew would like to wish my eldest uncle a successful victory by being named to 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. It was not because he looked down on him for no reason, but because he and his uncle went to Yingtian Mansion last time to take the exam. His actions made people unable to think highly of him at all.
Going to Yingtian to take the imperial examination is more like a publicly funded trip for the uncle. He sells iron at home, saves money and saves enough money for the uncle. The uncle uses these money stained with the family's blood and sweat, but he can't work hard.
It's romantic and happy, romantic and romantic.
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 even once. But I often saw my uncle going out for a drink with this or that person.
, go to a banquet, cheer for each other, express condolences to the women who have lost their feet in this era, and it is quite common to fight for the glory and get jealous. The day before the exam, the uncle did not forget to express his condolences to the women who have lost their feet.
"It seems that Xie'er has full confidence in uncle." Uncle Zhu Shouren stroked his beard and looked at Zhu Pingan, nodding with satisfaction.
Haha, your eyes show that I have full confidence in you. Zhu Pingan was speechless for a while. (To be continued.)
