Chapter 837 Two dynasties, gods and Buddhas do not need to be respected
On the day after the wedding, also known as the "Double Dynasty", Lin Zhao would bring Baochai to worship God, Buddha, and three generations of his clan.
At this time, Lin Ruhai and his wife naturally got up early, had dinner in their room, and then waited for the new daughter-in-law to come and offer tea.
The couple has already discussed that this Baochai is both good-looking and good-looking. Although her background is not low, she cannot be underestimated, so the matter of "setting rules" can only be established for a day or two.
At this time, outside the Yanxue Hall, the maids and women had already gotten up and were waiting.
Since Lin Zhao didn't have any maids around, Jia Min sent Aunt Rong and Lingge and Tingyi to serve as temporary servants.
At this time, Aunt Rong had already brought someone over, but it was difficult to call the door. Among the people accompanying the Xue family, it was difficult for them to come forward because they were new. Everyone stood on the left and right in the yard, clearly distinguishing themselves from each other.
Listening to the song, I heard that I was young after all. I took a few more glances at the maid who had come to marry the young mistress, and the more I looked at it, the more I admired it. These eight people were all wearing the same style of lotus-colored flag clothes, and their looks were also outstanding. Among them were
One person is particularly outstanding, and his appearance is more beautiful than the others.
Needless to say, it must be Baochai's personal maid Ying'er.
Ying'er seemed to notice that someone was looking at her, so she raised her chin and glanced this way. Her expression was indifferent.
Lingge, who had met her before, smiled and pursed her lips. Looking back at Ying'er, the two looked at each other, both waiting for the other to let off sparks first.
But neither of them seemed to have the intention to fight, and they looked at each other and smiled for a while.
Everyone around them had no idea that a scene of swords and swords had just occurred in the courtyard.
Standing in front of the eight dowry maids was Baochai's wet nurse, Grandma Chen. She was in her forties, slightly wealthy, and looked very kind. When she saw that there was no movement in the room, she looked at the sky and smiled.
He whispered to Aunt Rong: "Sister Rong, this is a celebration of Hong Kong, and we also need to pay homage to the gods, Buddhas and clan members. It's not a good idea to miss the auspicious time!"
Before the dowry came over, Aunt Xue had specifically told her that there were two uncles in the mansion, and one was the princess. The elder was the Minister of Household Affairs, and the uncle was the Zuo Commander of the Jinyi Guards. His status was unattainable, and the Xue Mansion could never compare with it.
Yes, she cannot be allowed to act arbitrarily and bring discredit to the Xue Mansion. Moreover, there is a Nanny Rong in the mansion, who served the Empress Dowager in the past, and her status is very important.
Maybe the eight dowry maids wanted to climb into bed, but Grandma Chen didn't dare to be careless, so her attitude was very low.
Aunt Rong smiled and said, "My sister is right!" After saying that, she took two steps forward to the window and tentatively called out: "Master, Master, are you getting up?"
Hearing Grandma Rong calling out the window, Lin Zhao said: "Well, we're up!"
Not only did he get up, Baochai also got up.
Although she was drunk and happy last night, she was also exhausted. Logically speaking, she shouldn't be able to get up this morning.
But Lin Zhaoxuan's skill was so good that it only took one week for her to return to normal.
When they were talking outside just now, both of them put on their underwear.
There were footsteps outside and the sound of the door curtain being lifted. Several maids came in carrying Lin Zhao's official uniforms. They had to dress solemnly for a moment of worship. Almost accompanying them were several maids who were accompanying them.
Because Baochai often came here before, and the maids were all close to Daiyu, they all knew Baochai and admired her appearance and demeanor very much. When they met, they all bowed to her and said, "I have seen you before."
Young Mistress, please say hello to Young Mistress!"
Baochai had also seen them and knew that they were the maids around Daiyu. She also knew that her husband did not have maids around her, so she felt very comfortable, so she called out and asked the maid next to her to collect the reward. They were all prepared before entering the door.
Okay, a pair of gold bracelets for each person.
The two of them leaned over to thank each other again, and then accepted the reward.
Several maids who were accompanying the bride also paid their respects to Lin Zhao, but on Lin Zhao's side, Grandma Rong was preparing to leave.
After all the trouble, Lin Zhao looked at the official uniform and said with a smile: "I'm going to serve tea to my parents later. Why are you wearing official uniform? Do you think a first-grade military attache will kneel down from a first-grade civil servant?"
The maids and women were suddenly startled and didn't know how to answer.
Even while listening to the song and meaning, Ying'er and the three respectable maids also looked at each other.
Grandma Chen was even more confused about her uncle's temper and did not dare to say anything more.
But after hearing this, Aunt Rong said with a smile: "I know everything, it turns out you don't know something. After the bride and groom get up, they have to pay homage to the gods and Buddhas, and then they can serve tea."
"Worship the gods and Buddha?"
Lin Zhao raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Just wear regular clothes. If I wear official clothes, I'm afraid the gods and Buddhas won't be able to bear it."
When he said this, his tone was calm, but there was a kind of majesty that could not be refuted.
Several maids were shocked and quickly went to change them.
However, Baochai knew that her husband had achieved great success as a young man. He had killed salt lords, suppressed barbarians, and made a show of power in the Western Regions, killing many red-haired Rakshasa ghosts. Therefore, he did not attach much importance to those gods and ghosts, so he said: "Ms.
, As the saying goes, sincerity leads to spirituality. Worshiping gods and Buddhas is just to seek peace. It doesn’t hurt to be more solemn.”
Lin Zhao smiled and said: "Baochai, in our Lin Mansion, no gods or Buddhas can control us."
While they were talking, a maid came back and said that the kitchen was ready. Lin Zhao was asked to take Baochai to sacrifice the stove. Aunt Rong and Aunt Chen went to the bedroom to collect the wedding cloth, put it up, and arranged for someone to go to Xue Mansion to announce the good news.
.
According to the rules of worshiping the stove, Lin Ruhai burned incense and the newlyweds kowtowed three times. Then they took down the temporary paper statue of the Kitchen God and burned it together with some paper money in the courtyard. Lin Zhao took Baochai over and looked at the paper statue of the Kitchen God.
, just stood with hands behind his back, and said from a distance: "Since you came to congratulate me, you can burn it yourself over there. Do I still have to send it to you?"
As he spoke, the paper statue of the Kitchen God spontaneously ignited without fire and turned into ashes.
Lin Ruhai was startled, couldn't help but look at Lin Zhao, frowned and said: "Zhao'er, what are you doing?"
When Baochai saw this scene, he was also shocked, but he recovered quickly and said quickly: "Sir, my husband must have gained something after traveling thousands of miles, so I don't look down on the gods and Buddhas."
Lin Zhao chuckled and said: "Father, you are just a kitchen god, a little god who can cover your mouth with syrup on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month. Do you still need us to worship? There is no Buddhist temple in our house, so I will go directly with Baochai.
I’ll serve tea to you and mother.”
Lin Ruhai shook his head and said nothing.
But he wasn't really angry either.
He is an ex-convict, but he is a standard Confucian, who always emphasizes "respecting ghosts and gods and keeping them at a distance". Since his son doesn't like the Kitchen God, then he shouldn't like him.
So Lin Ruhai took the first step, and Lin Zhao and Baochai left slowly.
First he visited the ancestral hall, then went to the lobby, kowtowed to Lin Ruhai and his wife, offered tea, and Baochai changed her name to "Father, Mother."
Of course, you have to call me "Master, Madam" at ordinary times.
Daiyu stood behind Jia Min. Seeing that Baochai, her good friend, was blushing and looking good, she knew that this sister-in-law was very sweet and happy in her heart, and she couldn't help but feel happy about it.
Then Lin Ruhai and his wife paid homage to Baochai. As his sister-in-law, Baochai took out the prepared gift and gave it to Daiyu as a meeting gift.
This time I asked An Zuo to bow down, which was to determine my identity and recognize me as a child.
From that day on, Baochai became the eldest mistress of the Lin family, the earl's wife, and the imperial concubine of the first rank.
The status of the Xue Mansion has also risen with the tide, and Aunt Xue will not be half as low as when she sees Mrs. Wang.
The third day after the wedding is the day to return home. According to the rules, "you will not see the tiles of your husband's house when you return home." Therefore, your husband's family must send someone out early to take the new aunt out of her husband's house before dawn.
After returning from her parents' home, Baochai set rules around Jia Min for another two days, and Jia Min told him to rest and stop being so troublesome.
On this day, Feng Ziying, Sun Shaozong, and Jia Lian came to see Lin Zhao, but it turned out that they wanted to check the property they had purchased at the time of the Zhen family.
After the business was finished, a group of people started chatting, and Feng Ziying said to Jia Lian: "Jiang Yuhan, the one who provoked Baoyu to get beaten, has already chosen a daughter from another family and plans to get married at the end of the year."
Jia Lian said: "I've never heard Baoyu mention it, but according to Baoyu's temperament, I'm afraid he won't like it."
Lin Zhao asked casually: "This actor came out of Prince Zhongshun's palace? Who is he marrying?"
