After sealing the sacrifice to the stove, every household in Sijiu City began to post couplets, door gods, and hang lanterns made by themselves at the door.
Different from the Han people's tradition of favoring red couplets, the banner couplets are usually made of white paper as the base, with only red and blue as the border paint. Even in the Forbidden City, white paper is often used as the base of the couplets.
After posting the couplets, the bannermen can select an auspicious day according to Qin Tianjian's calculations to "sweep the house", that is, clean the house.
In addition, because ordinary bannermen cannot fire from the first to fifth day of the lunar month, they must prepare the food needed for the New Year in advance.
New Year's Eve on New Year's Eve is the most important day of the Spring Festival. The princes and nobles in the capital began to give each other gifts and visit each other.
On New Year's Eve, the bannermen in the capital also have two major activities: "Sacrifice to Buddha" and "Sacrifice to Ancestors."
Bannermen who have a Buddhist temple at home should first worship the Buddha in the Buddhist temple, and then go to the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors.
After Yuzhu took over the third and eighth rooms of the Tong family, Longkodo and Qingtai made an agreement to simply go back to the old Tong family's Duke's Mansion to celebrate the New Year.
With this arrangement, whether it is "sacrifice to Buddha" or "sacrifice to ancestors," neither house will suffer.
When Li Si'er heard that he was going back to old Tong's house to celebrate the New Year, he couldn't help but giggle. He laughed for a long time before sighing: "Thanks to Brother Zhen's blessing, I can finally enter Tong's house openly."
Aunt Liu cleverly joked: "Old lady, when we go back to Tong Mansion this time, we have to go through the main entrance, and we have to ask the bearers to carry the sedan in."
Hey, this flattery really touched Li Si'er's heart!
Li Si'er was so happy that he rubbed his hands and laughed so much that his stomach ached. It took him a long time to stroke his belly gently and said softly: "When I was pregnant with Brother Zhen, I couldn't even enter the gate of Tong's house. Now, the baby in my belly
Thanks to the blessing of his own brother, this little guy has already entered the Duke's Palace before he was even born."
Today, the situation of the old Tong family has become completely clear!
Longkodo and Yuzhu, father and son, are the next two heads of the family who will do their part.
Not to mention others, even the old housekeeper of the Duke's Palace, Tong Liu, followed Yuzhu to enjoy the good life. Not to mention how beautiful his life was.
Grandparents and grandchildren are favored by all three generations, which can protect the wealth of the old Tong family for hundreds of years!
In the face of the overall situation where the family is standing firm, Tong Guowei, who has always been extremely ruthless, has always been unambiguously wise.
Li Si'er is Yuzhu's biological mother, and even if she doesn't give her face to Yuzhu, who will take care of the many dandy children of the old Tong family in the future?
Do we need to rely on the hopeless Ye Keshu? Or do we need to rely on the clueless Deke Xin?
Letting Li Si'er enter the main entrance in a sedan chair until now would have definitely insulted the ancestors of the Tong family.
However, times have changed.
Without the resource support of the old Tong family, Yuzhu earned the title of first-class male by himself, and he was still the foreman with a knife and first-class shrimp.
The terrible thing is that Yuzhu is only eighteen years old so far!
To put it bluntly, the situation is stronger than the person. Even if Tong Guowei no longer dislikes Li Si'er and turns a blind eye, it will be over.
As the old saying goes, if you are not deaf or dumb, you will not be an idiot!
Yuzhu has been living in Qing Mansion since her wedding.
According to the company's rules, people are not allowed to leave the marriage room within two months.
There was no other way. As a man with two wives and two mothers-in-law, Yuzhu had to at least level the bowl of water openly.
If there is no harmony in the family, outsiders will bully you!
However, after being married for almost a month, Cao Chun, who was supposed to go back to Cao's house to live "opposite the moon", actually didn't want to go back.
"Master, I don't want to go back. My aunt died early, and there are no relatives in the Cao family." Cao Chun's words revealed a lot of meaning.
Yuzhu sighed secretly. It was obvious that Cao Chun did not have a comfortable life when he was a girl in the Cao family.
Also, even Kangxi knew that the Cao family treated Cao Yi favorably and treated Cao Chun poorly.
When Tong and Cao's family discussed the betrothal gift, Qingtai originally wanted to spend a lot of money and come up with a betrothal gift worth at least 400,000 taels of silver.
As a result, Cao Yin went to Kangxi to complain, but Kangxi personally intervened and reduced the dowry to one hundred thousand taels of silver.
According to the banner people's custom of paying special attention to face, if you lose, you will not lose. The dowry given to your daughter must not be less than 80% of the betrothal gift.
The emperor's dowry of one hundred thousand taels was pushed back backwards, and the betrothal gift given by the Qing Mansion was also limited to 125,000 taels.
In fact, the more betrothal gifts the man gives, the more beneficial it is to Cao Chun.
After Cao Chun married into the Qing Mansion, the dowry given by the Cao family and the betrothal gift given by the Qing Mansion became her personal property and were listed on the dowry list and brought to the Qing Mansion.
In the future, such a large fortune can only be inherited by Cao Chun's own son, and the other bastards can only look at it and drool.
My wife didn't want to go back to her parents' house, and Yuzhu happened to not regard the Cao family as a dish, so she nodded in agreement.
"Sir, I want to go to Bao'en Temple tomorrow to pay homage to the Buddha. Why don't you go with me?" Cao Chun took the initiative to lean into Yuzhu's arms and acted coquettishly.
Behind Xiuyun, stood the entire Fucha family. But behind Cao Chun, there was nothing. She could only rely entirely on Yuzhu's support.
The human heart is full of flesh, so the helpless Cao Chun is particularly pitiful.
"Okay, I won't be on duty tomorrow, so I'll go with you for a while." Yuzhu put his arms around his beloved wife's slim waist, but he knew very well in his heart that Cao Chun was probably going to ask for a child.
If a woman in this era remains childless, she will definitely be discriminated against by her husband's family.
Just because there are three types of unfilial piety, the greatest is not having children!
Especially when Xiuyun over there gave birth to Yuzhu's eldest son, Cao Chun was even more filled with a sense of crisis.
Early on the next morning, the servants had set up their cars early.
After Yuzhu led Cao Chun to visit Qingtai and Qinglin, he boarded the car and went out. Surrounded by the guards, he went straight to Baoen Temple.
Baoen Temple is on the same street as Laosi and Laoba, and is just across Andingmen Street from Jialanyan Hutong in Longfu.
Since the couple were traveling together, Yuzhu simply got into Cao Chun's carriage.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Cao Chun's carriage is in the shape of a first-class baroness. It has a green felt roof, green curtains, black wheels, black shafts, green hanging curtains and covered curtains.
All are made of plain satin.
As soon as Yuzhu got into the carriage, Cao Chun leaned into his arms and said sweetly: "Husband, you treat me so well."
Hey, you're a little guy who wants to kill someone without compensating for his own life!
Even though Cao Chun looked obedient and gentle in front of Yuzhu, Yuzhu knew that she had a decisive and murderous side.
Before officially entering the bridal chamber, Cao Chun used his stepmother Li to control her servants and sold them all with the help of Yuzhu.
Can the extremely fierce Jia Tanchun be comparable to ordinary women?
In addition, the servants that Zhao Shan arranged to serve Cao Chun when they came were all treated by Cao Chun with extraordinary obedience, and no one dared to challenge her authority!
Yuzhu also saw clearly that Cao Chun relied on his favor to control his servants to death.
He had no choice, his wife and biological mother were dead, and his stepmother Li had a mean temper, so Yuzhu could only pity her more.
In fact, Yuzhu felt extra pity for Cao Chun and had a kind of sympathy for Cao Chun.
It's just that Yuzhu, the concubine, has a much lower status than Cao Chun, the concubine.
After the large team arrived at Baoen Temple, Wu Jiang came to report.
"Master Hui, the car belonging to Pingjun Prince Fujin is parked outside the temple."
Yuzhu sighed secretly, what happened recently, can he always meet Cao Yi?
Cao Chun and Cao Yi are biological sisters after all. Since they met at Baoen Temple, they wouldn't avoid meeting each other, right?
Cao Yi was the direct descendant of the iron-hatted prince of Fujin, and his status was much higher than that of Cao Chun. Whether it was for public or private purposes, Cao Chun should go and pay his respects.
Under the guidance of the people from the prince's palace, Yuzhu and Cao Chun met Cao Yi in the abbot's room of Baoen Temple.
"Your Majesty Yuzhu, I would like to extend my sincere greetings to my direct descendant Fu Jin Da'an." Yuzhu bowed his head to the ground and bowed politely.
"My concubine, Cao Jia, respectfully invites you to be my direct descendant in the Jin Dynasty." Cao Chun knelt down and bowed down.
In private, Cao Chun can call his sister. However, in public, he must call his direct descendant Fujin. This is etiquette.
Of course, if the relationship between sisters is good, there is no need to give a formal ceremony when there are no outsiders.
The problem is, there are no outsiders in the abbot's room.
So, the sisterly relationship between Cao Chun and Cao Yi is obviously not that close. As for Yuzhu, everyone knows about his feud with Nersu.
"You guys, why are you so outspoken? Come on, get up, sit down and talk." Cao Yi didn't look very good, but he was extremely affectionate towards Yuzhu and Cao Chun.
There were differences between men and women, so it was impossible for Yuzhu to sit down and chat with Cao Yi. He made an excuse, said goodbye and left, leaving Cao Chun and Cao Yi chatting about daily life.
Cao Yi held Cao Chun's little hand affectionately, looked her around, and said with a smile: "Sister, you look good."
Cao Chun smiled lightly and said, "To be fair to my sister, Grandma Zhang has already asked me to sell her."
Cao Yi's expression changed, and then she pretended to be nonchalant, and asked Cao Chun with a blank look on her face: "Who is Grandma Zhang? Have I seen her?"
"Hehe, sister, since you haven't seen me before, just pretend that I didn't say anything." Cao Chun secretly sneered in his heart.
Cao Yi also planted a nail next to Cao Chun, that is, Granny Zhang.
Before getting married, Cao Chun pretended to be very good and pretended not to know.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the bridal chamber, Cao Chun quickly betrayed all the servants around him, including the dowry girls.
No wonder, after looking for a long time, Cao Yi didn't see a familiar servant beside Cao Chun.
Cao Yi was not a vegetarian either. She knew something was wrong, but she suppressed her surprise and still held Cao Chun's little hand with a smile and exchanged greetings for a while.
Since it was an act, Cao Chun didn't mind accompanying her to the end. She skillfully acted like a second-class baroness and coordinated with Cao Yi's performance.
"Sister, your complexion doesn't seem to be very good?" Cao Chun was a bride every night, and her whole body was moisturized, her skin was crystal clear, and she looked extraordinarily bright.
On the other hand, Cao Yi's dark circles could not be covered up with thick powder, and his face turned yellow, as if he had suffered from long-term insomnia.
