My husband is pure and has few desires, but I gave birth to three children in a row
Chapter 313 New Year’s Eve
In the following time, Lu Zhenzhen's memory became numb. She just kowtowed from time to time, toasted from time to time, and listened to the words of her superiors, which she could not hear at all.
In the end, when everything was over and everyone could finally leave, Lu Zhenzhen really felt like she had survived a disaster.
I helped the old lady out who could barely stand. There was no sedan chair available for you in this huge palace at that moment.
No matter what rank you are, you have to go out honestly.
Lu Zhenzhen finally understood why before going out, the old lady not only drank ginseng soup herself, but also the eldest wife drank ginseng soup, and asked her to drink a bowl as well.
If these ladies and their wives who usually live a life of luxury don’t drink ginseng soup, how can they bear it?
Even she, who relied on her youth and good physical strength, felt half exhausted after tossing and turning for half a day.
After finally supporting the old lady and then looking after the eldest lady, the three of them supported each other and left the palace.
Next to the carriage outside, Grandpa Hou and his three generations of grandchildren came out earlier than them.
The old marquis and the eldest master were recovering in the warm sedan chair, only Fu Zhijian was waiting outside.
Even though he was wearing a coat that was heated both inside and out, his face turned blue from the cold.
When they saw Lu Zhenzhen and her group of three coming out, their eyes lit up.
After greeting the old lady and the eldest lady, Fu Zhijian helped them into the warm sedan chair. He still remembered to say, "Thank you for your hard work today, Fourth Sister-in-law. Come in and warm up!"
After saying that, he stomped his feet and got into the warm sedan chair.
Lu Zhenzhen readily followed the advice, and after getting on the warm sedan chair, she discovered that the Marquis' Mansion already had rich experience in dealing with this situation.
Nanny Ye was guarding the warm sedan chair. As soon as she came in, she immediately handed over a bowl of brown sugar ginger tea and asked Lu Zhenzhen to drink it to ward off the cold.
There was a small charcoal stove in the warm sedan chair, which was burning fiercely. The sedan chair was warm, as warm as spring.
Lu Zhenzhen was originally supporting the old lady, but later most of the old lady's weight leaned on her, and she almost half-carried and half-dragged the old lady out.
I was sweating all over. After I stopped, I felt the wind blowing at the palace gate and felt cool.
After drinking ginger tea and using the charcoal stove, which was hot and cold, I sneezed several times.
Nanny Ye was startled and touched Lu Zhenzhen's hand. Fortunately, it was warm.
Seeing the beads of sweat on her hair and forehead, he knew that Lu Zhenzhen was sweating, so he quickly took out a large towel, heated it on the charcoal stove, and put it on Lu Zhenzhen's back.
The heated towel was warm and really comfortable.
Lu Zhenzhen couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief: "Finally I'm alive! This palace banquet is really hard to describe——"
Anyway, everyone who came to participate kept silent!
Nanny Ye smiled and brought Lu Zhenzhen another bowl of warm chicken porridge, asking her to warm her stomach first. Then she said, "I'm afraid Fourth Madam will have to go to the palace again during the Lantern Festival."
Lu Zhenzhen's eyes widened: "Why?"
Nanny Ye explained, "You are now the Lord of Le'an Township, personally appointed by His Majesty. The palace will hold a small banquet for the Lantern Festival to entertain the royal family's female relatives, so naturally you will have to enter the palace."
Lu Zhenzhen suddenly lost the desire to drink porridge. How did that sentence go?
If you want to wear his crown, you must bear its weight!
She had previously thought that being named village chief would have many benefits, but she didn't expect the side effects to come.
It’s too late to regret now!
After much difficulty, the warm sedan finally arrived at the Marquis' Mansion. All the masters of the Fu family who did not attend the court ceremony or the banquet, regardless of age, were standing at the door to greet them.
After welcoming the person, you cannot go back to the house to rest immediately.
We have to rush to the ancestral hall without stopping.
This ancestral hall is located in a separate courtyard to the west of the marquis's mansion.
The old marquis was the first among the men. He entered the courtyard of the ancestral hall first, divided himself into different orders, and stood in line.
The old marquis presided over the ceremony, and the eldest master accompanied him.
The second master offered wine, and the third master offered silk.
The eldest master Fu Zhijian held the incense, the second master Fu Zhizhuo, the third master Fu Zhiming, and the fourth master Fu Zhiyi spread out the prayer mats and guarded the burning pool.
The Qingyi music is played, three cups are offered, and after the ceremony of rising and bowing, silk is burned and wine is offered. After the ceremony, the music stops and the audience withdraws.
Everyone followed Old Lady Bai to the main hall, where hung in the middle of the hall the portrait of the first Ningping Marquis of the Fu family.
There are also several portraits of ancestors on the left and right.
At one time, there were women inside the threshold and men outside.
Only Fu Zhiyi stood inside the threshold.
Outside the ceremonial gate, a servant passed the dishes to Fu Zhiming, and then passed them in order from Fu Zhizhuo, Fu Zhijian, to the third master, and finally to the old marquis.
Then he passed it to Fu Zhiyi who was inside the cage, and he passed it to Lu Zhenzhen.
From Lu Zhenzhen onwards, starting from the Zhao family, to the Lan family, and finally to the old lady Bai, it was placed on the altar.
The eldest wife, Mrs. Jin, and the old wife, Mrs. Bai, stood across from each other at the table, setting the table together.
Fu Zhiyi left only after the dishes, soup, rice, snacks, wine and tea were served, and stood back in his original position.
Men stood to the east and women to the west. Old Lady Bai held incense and bowed, and the people behind her followed suit.
No matter how unreliable or eccentric a person is on weekdays, they all look solemn at this moment.
There were so many people, but no one could be heard saying a word. The only sound was the jingling of gold and jade pendants and the rustling of clothes and fabrics when they knelt down.
After the worship is completed.
Everyone rushed to Ruixuan Hall again, men and women together, bowed and kowtowed to the old marquis and old lady who were sitting high up.
After all the formalities were completed, everyone had time to go back and change their clothes.
After changing clothes, he rushed to Ruixuan Hall again.
At this moment, Ruixuan Hall has been newly decorated. Old Lady Bai sits high up in the seat, with several sisters-in-law of the same generation sitting beside her, chatting and laughing.
Mrs. Hu's belly was already very obvious, Mrs. Zhao was also pregnant, and Mrs. Sun was not even three months pregnant yet, which was a dangerous time.
It was a rare opportunity to be able to attend the sacrifice, and the old lady had already instructed that the three of them should just rest well in their own rooms.
If you want to eat or play something, just ask someone to make it and send it to you.
Just wait until night to sit together and spend the New Year together.
Among the grandchildren's wives, Lu Zhenzhen is the only one left standing there, very conspicuous.
Lu Zhenzhen greeted the sisters-in-law who were of the same generation as the old lady with great generosity.
On the chairs on both sides below were the girls from the family who were brought over by the sisters-in-law.
However, Lu Zhenzhen was not familiar with them, and seeing that they didn't seem to have any intention of making friends with her, she simply ran over to talk to Lan.
The old lady's sister-in-law saw this and frowned, as if she thought Lu Zhenzhen should entertain the girls they brought with her.
After all, they are guests. As the host, it would be disgraceful for them to run away without entertaining the guests.
This is what it’s like to be born into a humble family. Even if you are given the title of village chief, you can’t escape this petty-minded attitude.
But she didn't dare to say it out loud, so she rolled her eyes and subtly turned the topic to Lu Zhenzhen.
"Why do I only see Yi Ge'er's wife? Where are the others?"
