The upgrade of Concubine Xian in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 370 Bad Ancestor Worship

Just after Yin time, the courtyard of Fengxian Hall lit up all the surrounding lights, and people came and went, and began to be busy. The things used by the royal ancestors were extremely cumbersome, and the steward was sitting for the final preparations.

At this time, Zarafin's sedan chair had already left the Old Summer Palace and was driving on the road. She looked at the street scene outside through the window of the sedan chair. Early, this time I went to sacrifice, and the reception was rare and quiet.

"Master, you can use some more, I don't have time for lunch." Huang Ah said outside.

Zarafin’s sedan chair was custom-made by Hongli. There are several hidden compartments in the sedan chair, which are suitable for storing clothes, bronze mirrors, cosmetics, etc. The three rows of hidden compartments are placed for food.

Before the sacrifice, all participants were not allowed to eat meat. Hongli asked the dining room to prepare the shepherd's purse pastry, and there was a vinegar dish next to it. She saw these things and quickly put the eating board and fixed the vinegar dish. Start eating.

When approaching Fengxian Hall, Huang'a reminded Zarafin outside to tidy up a bit, and he was about to get out of the sedan chair and drive him away.

Zarafin packed up the delicious things, took out the small bronze mirror, carefully identified the makeup, and applied a little lip balm with his hands to make himself look more energetic.

The sedan chair slowly stopped at the entrance of Fengxian Hall, the sedan chair tilted, the tortoise shell opened the door curtain, and Huang'a helped Zarafin down with his own hands.

After she stood firmly, she looked around and saw that the female relatives were all wearing royal blue auspicious clothes, with manchurian tins on their heads. From a distance, they all seemed to be dressed in the same way.

"Little sister-in-law!" Wu Fujin called Zarafen from behind.

She turned to look at Mrs. Wu Zaku with a smile on her face: "Wu Fujin, are you here too?"

The relationship between Zarafen and the Wu Zaku clan is excellent, but the Sifujin Fucha clan feels that Wu Zaku clan's status is a bit low, and Hong Zhou doesn't do much, so the Fucha clan rarely interacts with these people. people come and go.

As expected, Sifujin was standing not far away, and looked over in disgust.

"Let's go, let's go over and say hello to my fourth sister-in-law." Wu Zaku said helplessly.

Hong Zhou mentioned that today he must greet Si Fujin, and he must not miss the rules in front of outsiders.

"Five Fujin" Zarafen discovered that the Wu Zaku clan was actually afraid of the Four Fujin.

"The fourth sister-in-law is a little too strict, and I feel scared when I look at it." Wu Zaku said.

"Your rules are right, Fujin won't do anything." Zarafin appeased Wu Fujin and left directly.

The two walked up to Sifu Jin and saluted respectfully.

"Why is the side Fujin with the fifth sibling?" Si Fujin spoke with sarcasm, obviously thinking that Zarafin had lowered his status and was with the Wu Zaku family.

The sarcasm in Si Fujin's eyes made Wu Fujin feel a little uncomfortable all over.

Although there were smiles on the faces of several people, the smiles did not reach their eyes. Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Wu Fujin found an excuse to go to another place.

Zarafin stood opposite Sifujin, looking at her coldly.

"Ci Fujin has a good ability to let the master go to the Xinghuachun Pavilion on New Year's Eve. If you let the censors know about it, what good fruit will you have?" Si Fujin secretly threatened.

"Where will the master go, can I stop it?" Zarafin rolled up the handkerchief, "Fu Jin, if you talk too much about some things, the master will hate you, I am just a female relative, I don't care about anything else. "

"Love is temporary, you can still be pampered for a lifetime? Although you have some convenient factors, when a more beautiful girl enters the backyard, how can you still be good? There is no such thing as a hundred-day red flower." Si Fujin He lowered his voice threateningly.

The Fucha family started preparing for the small election, and the servants who were sent in were all under the Fucha family's banner, and she was the most handy in controlling these people.

In the mansion, Mrs. Li Rongbao often used a similar method to control Li Rongbao. Si Fujin was quite familiar with this method after being exaggerated by his ears and eyes since he was a child.

"Really? Don't be self-defeating." Zarafin sarcastically said with a smile on his face.

Hongli was standing not far away, talking with Hongshi, Hongzhou and others, he looked over by accident and happened to meet Zarafin's eyes.

Later, the gate of Fengxian Hall was opened wide, and the chief stewards stood at the gate, standing on the left and right sides respectively.

Zarafin hurriedly followed Fujin to the team, and the chief managers should be Kangxi and Yongzheng who are about to come out.

Huang A, Huobi and others all stood in the distance, Zarafin followed the team and began to bow down, Yu Lu and Feng Lu slowly drove over from a distance, Zarafin heard the sound of the whip, and couldn't help but look up and forget , found that Sifujin, who was obliquely in front of him, looked at Feng Mou with envy and jealousy in his eyes.

As the team entered the courtyard, the annual ancestor worship finally began. She knelt on the futon, covered her hands with the sleeves of her court dress, and covered a small stove with one hand. She didn't feel the snowflakes floating on her body. , the hands are not like other female family members, who move their hands from time to time, and some of them are still moving their bodies slightly.

Following the words of the head of the clan mansion, the snowflakes in the sky became bigger and bigger, and the faces of the female relatives who came to worship the ancestors changed.

An hour later, the ancestor worship finally started, and as Sifu Jin entered the hall, he could only stand outside the hall gate not far away and wait, while Hongli began to offer incense first.

When Fujin went up to worship the incense tablet, the incense sticks in Fujin's hands seemed to be sensed, and they all broke, and fell directly in front of the futon with a bang.

The incense burner placed on the desk by Si Fujin also showed cracks.

The whole thing happened so fast that no one present had time to react, and it had already happened.

Afterwards, the steward hurried forward and changed the incense and censer, and the activities of the priests continued as usual.

When he came out, Si Fujin's face was pale and his eyes were red. Zarafin stood at the gate of the palace, not knowing what was going on inside.

Under Hongli's hint, she just wanted to come to help Fujin, but was blocked by Fujin.

"Go back!" Hongli scolded angrily in a low voice.

Zarafin followed the two and walked towards the side hall together. After leaving most of the crowd, Hongli stopped and turned around.

"What's going on?" Hongli asked coldly.

Si Fujin began to cry: "Master, I really didn't do it. I sacrificed according to my mother's instructions. I don't know why this happened. Master, someone must be jealous and act first."

"Who will do it? Jiaojiao didn't even go in, let alone do it. Did you offend someone?" Hongli looked at Sifujin.

In the past, Sifu Jin was a little arrogant, and would offend some people when socializing, but today, he has received retribution.
