Chapter 230: Year, Wedding Date
On the 23rd, the sage seals the pen, which also means the official start of the Chinese New Year. network
The most important thing on this day is naturally the sacrifice to the stove, but this has nothing to do with Jingwan. Although Jingwan had never sacrificed to a stove, she had seen it before, and it was similar to most sacrifices, so she didn't join in the fun.
Jingwan was a little scared looking at Sun Yijia's big belly. Now Jingwan is a little afraid to approach her, as if she is afraid that something will happen if she is not careful. The preparation for welcoming the little guy was completely appropriate a month ago.
Sun Yijia's own state is quite good, there is no so-called prenatal depression, whenever she encounters Jingwan's small appearance that she carefully wants to avoid, she feels very good, "Put it in my stomach, you are like this, you will be pregnant in the future. What should I do on the way up?"
Jing Wan paused, yes, although she has long had the consciousness of marrying and having children, that consciousness is only psychological. Sun Yijia, the sister-in-law, is the pregnant woman she has the most contact with and is closest to. Just looking at him from a distance, and Sun Yijia, from the time she learned that she was pregnant, until now, seeing it almost every day, watching the whole process in her eyes, it feels completely different.
In other words, if you are going to get married next year, if you win the lottery once like Sun Yijia, does that mean...
Thinking about that picture, Jingwan felt a little melancholy. After the new year, she was only fifteen years old, ah, fifteen years old, and her small body hadn't grown. Is it really okay to have a baby? Not to mention until she is eighteen years old, at least until she is sixteen. If she can keep procrastinating, it will be better until she is twenty, but thinking about it, I know that it is impossible. I don't know if I can negotiate with someone, how long is a year? Jingwan felt that her sister-in-law was not depressed, she was about to be depressed, and depression was nothing.
Melancholy for a short while, then turn around and forget.
From the servants to the big and small masters, they are very busy, and they are full of laughter and laughter.
Twenty-four dusting, tomorrow will be cleaned up every day, and this day will still have to be cleaned up.
Jingwan watched the people around her come in and out, and she sat there in a daze.
After that, there are other things such as receiving the Jade Emperor, washing Fulu, etc., and sticking couplets is naturally a very important thing.
Sticking couplets pays attention to the gods will stick, every door will stick, every object will stick.
There are many readers at home, so it doesn't matter. I even wrote some rewards for the next person.
In this way, Emperor Cheng will naturally bestow the word "blessing", which is also a great manifestation of being favored. Therefore, whenever there is a chance, he will ask for a few. Of course, it is impossible for the courtiers, that is, the prince and the concubine. With the clan.
In addition to sticking blessing characters, there are naturally door gods.
However, Jingwan still felt that it was a little less, and people put on red lanterns, all of which were in the shape of big round circles, or wrote various auspicious characters, or pasted clip art, and then typed a big and big blessing. Knots are hung everywhere to make it more festive.
In the blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve. On this day, every family had a family sacrifice, and the offerings prepared were really not ordinary.
The busiest time in the kitchen is when the children start to play and set off firecrackers.
Some big dishes were prepared a few days ago in order to make a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner on New Year's Eve.
The sound of firecrackers coming from the streets and alleys, mixed with the chatter and laughter everywhere, one after another, filled the ears.
During the New Year's Eve dinner, although there were still separate seats for men and women, they were not separated.
The table is full, and all kinds of dishes have auspicious symbols. Even after watching it for many years and many times, Jingwan is still quite impressed. In addition to cold dishes, other large dishes are still hot.
Then, today, except for the eldest grandson, too young, who really shouldn't drink, everyone else can touch their mouths no matter how young.
Naturally at this moment, he will no longer pay attention to eating and not talking, and children will not be detained even if they eat and eat and get off the table and make trouble.
This New Year's Eve meal lasted for two hours. Of course, at the end of the meal, basically no one moved the chopsticks, and those hot dishes were only passive at the beginning.
The table was finally withdrawn.
The whole family gathers together, even if the servants gather outside, their faces are beaming.
Starting from the two big parents, red envelopes are given out, and everyone who is their younger generation has a share.
To receive a red envelope, even if there is only one copper plate, is also a happy thing.
Kneeling down, saying auspicious words, begging for red envelopes, one after another, the younger the generation, the more red envelopes you will get. In this way, the eldest grandson of the eldest house became the biggest "winner", even the very small uncle and aunt, who also wanted to give him a red envelope, which was overwhelming for the family.
It hasn't been so lively in a few years, and Mrs. Luo's smile has basically never disappeared.
When this is over, Mr. Wang is busy sending red envelopes to the servants. According to the grade, they will come in batches, and then replace other people on duty. In previous years, the red envelopes were two months of monthly money, but this year, it was four months. Yes, the Wang family also told them directly that Mrs. Luo was in Beijing for the first year, and Mrs. Qian was rewarded for the extra two months.
These people serve people all their lives, but that's not what they want. Naturally, they are grateful to Mrs. Luo. Good words such as longevity and longevity of Songhe should not be thrown out like money.
Mrs. Luo was less moved, she couldn't bear Luo Shangshu's joy. Like Jing Wan, he was very concerned about Mrs. Luo's body. These kind words and auspicious words were naturally very comfortable to hear.
At midnight, the bell on the tower rang, and the sound of firecrackers rang in the sky over the entire capital. In this "Three Yuan of Years, Yuan of Moon, Yuan of Time"
At the time of Yuan, the courtyard is filled with "fires" to show that the air is prosperous and prosperous. Around the flaming fire, children of all sizes set off firecrackers again, jumping alive, bright lights in the house, and brilliant sparks in front of the courtyard , There is a thunderous sound outside the house, and this is the most lively time to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new.
Regardless, after the jubilation was over, the little guys began to feel sleepy, and it was good that they could hold on until now.
The next day, officials of the fifth rank and above and their families entered the palace to pay New Year's greetings.
The men are all in court clothes, and the ladies of the rank naturally also dress up, and they look different.
In comparison, young girls and daughters-in-law can dress up beautifully and show off their beauty, adding a lot of warm colors in the severe cold, which is pleasing to the eye.
A long line of carriages waited to enter the palace one by one. Luo Shangshu's official position is high enough, and on the premise that the royal family has a single person to enter, the Luo family's carriage naturally does not have to wait too long.
Intentionally checking their identities, Jingwan and the others were greeted respectfully.
The female family wants to pay New Year's greetings with the Queen and others. When the time comes, naturally they can only wait outside. This is not an easy task. If the time is a little longer, the hands and feet will become numb, and the elderly will definitely not be able to bear it. But generally speaking, elderly people, either their husbands or their sons are important ministers, will naturally receive preferential treatment, and they will be welcomed directly into the warm pavilion, where they will be roasted in the furnace, served with good tea and water, and they must stand with those outside. The people who waited were completely different from each other.
It's no wonder that many people desperately want to climb higher, for nothing else, just this treatment is worth fighting for.
There are no particularly close girls in the warm pavilion, and Jingwan basically knows them. As long as two of the three sentences are not digging holes, Jingwan still intends to gossip with them.
To say that most of the princesses have to flatter Jingwan, let alone those princesses who have no real power, and other girls from important officials, generally speaking, there is no conflict with Jingwan, and today is the first day of the new year. , there will be no trouble finding fault.
A woman dressed in a palace walked to Jingwan's side, "Miss Luo San, the noble concubine has a request."
Jing Wan nodded, said goodbye to the people next to her, and then went out of the warm pavilion with the woman in the palace dress.
To say that at this time, it is common for the palaces to summon people who are close to each other in advance. Some concubines may only take this opportunity to see their maiden family at the end of the year.
Although the people who serve each family can't enter the warm pavilion, they are all waiting outside. This time, the one who followed Jingwan into the palace is still Gong mama. Now no matter where they go, they will naturally follow. Nurgle's place, there is nothing wrong with being cautious.
But the maid you lead the way is very magnanimous, it seems that there should be no problem.
However, when Jingwan turned around the hallway of the hall, and outside the hallway of another hall, he saw someone who seemed to be a little bored pulling a flower branch, should this be called a problem or no problem?
The palace maid greeted Li Hongyuan without looking sideways and left, without greeting Jingwan at all, her intention was obvious.
After Mummy Gong saw Li Hongyuan, she stopped following and stood a little further away.
Seeing the handsome and unparalleled man who has now restrained his anger and appeared to be lonely and independent, Jingwan felt that she was more and more unable to control her beauty, tsk, walking hormones, there really is no way to do it.
Jingwan stood and walked to Li Hongyuan's side. When she was about to salute, Li Hongyuan had already held her hand, feeling that Jingwan's hand was a little cold, and frowned slightly, "Why don't you take a Hand stove?"
Jingwan is speechless, dear Prince Jin, this is the imperial palace, not her home, and she is not a royal person. Holding a stove is to show your specialness and draw hatred? It's fine if you pull out the hatred yourself, don't bother others.
Li Hongyuan took off the cape and put it on Jingwan. Jingwan could clearly feel the warmth from the cape. She glanced at it, and the lining was obviously covered with a layer of light velvet. No weight.
And Mu An immediately handed over a hand stove.
Li Hongyuan said, "The wedding date is set for the third day of March."
"Shangsi Festival?"
