The upgrade of Concubine Xian in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 289 ancestor worship
During the three-day preparation time, the servants of the other courtyard began to get busy. Under the guidance of Lang Jia, Zarafen became more and more busy. Hongli sent two or three letters from the capital, and Zarafen could only do so in a hurry. I wrote some situations, and then I went back to my errands.

At Yin time on the day of worshiping the ancestors, Zarafin got up in a trance, while Huang'a and Tortoise dressed Zarafin according to the queen's wishes.

After breakfast, Zarafin was dressed in lake-blue silk with silver thread and chrysanthemum flowers with wide sleeves. On his head, he wore chrysanthemum flowers carved with platinum Hetian jade and rolled up two small heads. He wore two oriental pearls in each ear.

"Master, this regular uniform is very pretty, and the inner workmanship is really good." Tortoise shell complimented quickly.

Zarafin laughed happily: "You guys can talk, how do you know that this dress is made by insiders?"

"Master, the fourth elder brother sent someone to send it over in person, can there be a fake?" Pearl looked at Zarafin and said.

Zarafin walked to the gate of the main courtyard and was about to step in when he was knocked to the ground by a figure rushing out. The tortoiseshell quickly crawled on the ground, and Zarafin slammed on her body heavily.

"Who is it!" Seeing that her master was hurt, Pearl scolded directly.

Pearl hurriedly supported Zarafin and let her get up first.

"Who is running around here?" Zarafin looked at the kneeling servant in front of him, not only very curious.

"Slave Fentai pays tribute to the master." Fentai is a servant in another courtyard outside the customs, and her family has been slaves of the Huifa Ulanara clan for generations, and she saw Zarafin for the first time.

Zarafin looked at Fentai, the grades of the two seemed to be about the same, Zarafin did not allow certain things to happen.

"Haven't you even learned the rules?" Zarafin asked.

Fentai's body trembled a little. The family's arrangement was not adopted by Narb and Lang Jia's, so she escaped unharmed.

"Your servant is wrong." Fentai hoped that Zarafin would spare her this time, "I hope the master will forgive this time of slaver."

Fentai hurriedly kowtowed to plead guilty, the servants in the main courtyard have all been screened, and the sons of Lang Jia's family are all good, and they rarely make trouble because of slaves.

"Forget it, you wait first." Zarafin looked at Fentai and said, "Follow me to the main hall. If you have anything to do, just talk to Er Niang."

Fentai was still a little hesitant, blocked by the tortoiseshell and pearls, so he could only walk forward with her.

"Er Niang." Zarafin stepped into the hall, seeing that several concubines were there, Fantai's body trembled more and more, Zarafin saw it, and hurriedly talked about what happened just now.

"Okay, Fentai, you are still working in the main courtyard, remember, don't care about other people's eyes, Fu Rong, you assign the work yourself." Lang Jia said directly.

Zarafin smiled and said, "Emiang, why are all the aunts here today?"

Seeing the appearance of Zarafin, the concubine members felt excited, Zarafin was the last thing he wanted to see the concubines.

On weekdays, when Zarafin went to pay his respects, the Lang Jia family would arrange for the concubines to pay their respects first, so that both parties' greetings would be separated.

"Little Gege, your grade is still young, there are some things that you should not know." The concubine Wang said while looking at Zarafin.

Zarafin looked at the concubine Wang, and there was no special expression on his face: "Could it be that the concubine Wang did your tricks?"

"No, no, no!" The concubine Wang repeatedly refused, "I just hope to find a caring concubine for your brother."

"My ah?" Zarafin was stunned, "Is it from inside or outside the palace?"

After hearing this, the concubine Wang got up and knelt down on the ground, saying that she didn't dare.

"I don't think there is anything you dare not dare to do." Lang Jia sneered, "Who are Jiaojiao's nicknames? Brother Si, Wu De, who are you talking about?"

"Concubine Wang, sometimes you have to be careful with what you say. Ama's rules are very strict, so if you think about it, it's no wonder Erniang is angry." Zarafin looked at the concubine Wang and said.

"It's my servant who made a mistake. I insisted on taking the servant from Madam's courtyard, but that unworthy child of this servant must have taken a fancy to Fentai." The concubine Wang showed helplessness on her face.

"No, outsiders will say that you don't even understand the rules, what do you want?" Lang Jia slapped, and slapped directly on the handrail, "Stop your feet, before you leave the other courtyard outside the customs, you will go to another courtyard. "

Zarafin looked at the concubine Wang with cold eyes, and was dragged out by Fu Rong and the two nuns.

After the concubine Wang disappeared from the back, the hall became lively again.

"Emiang, when shall we go to worship our ancestors?" Zhalafin asked, looking at Lang Jiashi.

"Another half an hour, are you ready?" Lang Jia asked, looking at Zarafin.

"En!" Zarafin had already put all the banknotes handed over by the queen into a box, and after offering sacrifices to the ancestors, he handed over the box to the person in charge of the family temple in public.

"Ma'am, the master said it's time to pass." Akdon appeared in everyone's sight.

Zarafin walked outside with Mrs. Lang Jia, and in the corridor, he met Mrs. Xingchan's family members and noble ladies.

"Jiaojiao, today's clothes are very beautiful." Although Mrs. Xingchan was a little confused, she glanced at the little daughter behind her, and looked at her with a confused expression.

In just one glance, she completely vanished into thin air.

"The fourth elder brother prepared for her. Jiaojiao's clothes have not been made by the mansion for many years." Lang Jia said helplessly, "The regular clothes I prepared can only be worn when going out."

Mrs. Xingchan looked at Lang Jia's bitter look, and she was sober in her heart. If her eldest daughter hadn't been married at the beginning, Zarafin's current situation would be the situation of her eldest daughter.

"Well, it's very beautiful. You will donate money to the family temple in person later." Mrs. Xingchan looked at Zarafin kindly.

"Auntie, don't worry." Zarafin nodded, "Everything is ready."

In order not to make mistakes when worshiping the ancestors, Su Momo has trained her many times, and she is determined not to make even the slightest mistake.

"Siblings, let's go in first." Mrs. Xingchan said.

Lang Jia nodded, and slowly entered the family temple according to the order of the men.

At this time, the men had already begun to worship their ancestors, and Wu De led several younger brothers to offer incense.

Zarafen followed Lang Jiashi to burn incense, with a solemn expression on her face. After burning incense, she looked at Huang Ah who was standing aside, and Huang Ah handed over a box from the side.

"When I left Beijing, the empress's wife gave me this box, which contained her heart as a married woman." Zarafin opened the red sandalwood box, and showed a stack of bank notes in front of everyone.

"Thank you, Empress, for your kindness." Everyone hurriedly kowtowed to the box.
