disrespect to ancestors
After Su Li rested, the secret guards did not come back to report. It was not until early morning when Su Li opened her eyes that it was bright outside. The maids came in one after another with toiletries and clothes and jewelry. When they saw her get up, Mu Xiang smiled and came forward to salute.
"Miss, have you had a good sleep?"
In the past, the prince was here and always tossed the lady. When she woke up in the morning, the lady said that her body hurt. The prince didn’t come last night. The lady slept soundly, so she should have had a good sleep.
"kindness."
Su Li responded lazily, got up to clean up herself. After all, Su Li subconsciously turned her head and looked at the curtain. Mu Xiang knew what she was worried about, so she called Liuying in. Su Li pointed to the opposite position and asked him with breakfast.
"How is the prince's side? There is a lantern festival tonight, and everyone is going to chase the New Year beast..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Li's movements stumbled slightly. There was a sign of great danger in the West. The reason why he was discovered was that someone had set up a very dangerous formation there. Those who knew the formation would see that, but the formation had not been activated yet. If that person did something that hurt the sky and the death was done when everyone was full of people, then this year...
Liuying's back was slightly stiff and she looked at Su Li. Su Li thought about it and then asked Liuying again.
"Which shop made the New Year beast tonight?"
In previous years, the beasts were made in the palace, but every festival was very busy in the palace. In addition, there were many masters among the people, and they were more gorgeous than in the palace. Later, they were handed over to the shop outside to make it.
"It was made by Xiangrui Pavilion. They have been connected to the New Year beast that has been made for three years."
The Nian beast looks different every year. I heard that the appearance comes from the folk. After drawing it, you can hand over the pattern to Xiangrui Pavilion. Once adopted, you will get a hundred taels of silver as a thank you. Then it is made from Xiangrui Pavilion. When the Nian beast appears, it will shine and disappear without a trace. There are twelve Nian beasts, but only one of them has a hundred taels of gold in their belly, which will lead to the people's pursuit of it wildly. If you defeat the Nian beast, it indicates that the next year will definitely be smooth and beautiful.
"Miss, I'm going to go for sacrifices. Today, Su Mansion is going to sacrifice to ancestors."
Qingcao came in with the gorgeous clothes that the priest wanted to wear. Only then did Su Li see that Qingcao was wearing the palace outfit of her county princess. She seemed to have not worn this palace outfit yet, and the headwear of the county princess was also very exquisite and luxurious.
Su Li stood up and let the maids change and dress up her, but her mind was thinking about the matter of going westward in the capital.
It was originally scheduled to be a sacrifice on the third day of the lunar month, but the third day of the lunar month had to hold a banquet for everyone, so it was changed to New Year's Eve.
After the maids dressed up the lady, they helped Su Li to the bronze mirror. Su Li quietly looked at herself in the mirror, and her eyebrows and eyes were slightly bent.
"If the prince saw the lady's noble appearance, he would probably like it very much."
Mu Xiang smiled and helped her turn toward the door. The lady's cold and arrogant temperament was very similar to the cold prince, but she really looked like a husband and wife.
"I have to go to the palace after the sacrifice. He hasn't been here for so long, so I'm a little worried."
Muxiang nodded, but after thinking about it, it seemed that the lady and the prince had not met for a while, right? Neither of them had been more than two days.
When we arrived at the ancestral hall dedicated to ancestral tablets, many people gathered in front of the courtyard. They were talking about something, and they all greeted each other with a smile. When they saw Su Li wearing the clothes of a county princess, everyone turned their heads together, and their eyes were filled with stunning, but they also felt a little envious.
The eldest aunt and the second aunt met up and talked to her with a smile.
"Li'er is really beautiful and unparalleled in this gorgeous costume."
Su Li smiled and bowed to her two aunts. A sound came from behind. Everyone turned their heads together, but saw Yugui holding Su Yue in the county lord's costume walking over. She was so beautiful that she was earth-shaking. But for some reason, everyone inexplicably felt that Su Li today was the most beautiful.
"Yue'er is so beautiful. My daughters from the Su Mansion are all beautiful and flawless."
The second aunt smiled and walked up to talk to Su Yue. Su Yue bowed to all the elders in a regular manner, and then spoke to Su Li with a smile.
"Big sister is here!"
"kindness."
Su Li was straight and replied indifferently. Su Yue did not care about her coldness. The group turned around and walked towards the ancestral hall. The housekeeper had prepared all the offerings. In the center of the desk, a suckling pig that had just been roasted was smelling. The fragrance was burning brightly. Qingyan Xiaoxiao passed over these tablets that were neatly placed inside, making people feel respect for no reason.
Prime Minister Su supported the old lady, and Princess Kang and her party walked in slowly. Outside the yard were followed by a group of concubines. They were not qualified to come in, so they could only kneel outside.
Prime Minister Su stood in the front position, with the old lady and Princess Kang in the second position, Su Changqing and Su Junhan, and Su Zhiyuan in the second row. Su Li, Su Yue, Xue Jian, and Jingci and his wife in the third row.
The housekeeper lit all the incense and distributed it to everyone present. The guards put the cushions one by one, and then followed Prime Minister Su and performed a kneeling ceremony.
When the housekeeper sang, he recited the merits of the Su Mansion one by one, so that future generations could remember the merits of their ancestors, and at the same time he took out the ancestral teachings and recited them again for everyone.
Su Yue held the fragrance, her eyebrows gradually frowned more and more violently. The more she stood, the more she felt her abdomen was swelling and uncomfortable. Although the lochia is less than before, she has not stopped completely and her body is weak and tight.
His body swayed slightly, and Su Li turned his head and looked at Su Yue in confusion. Su Yue hurriedly stood up and stabilized her figure.
Su Changqing also had injuries on her body, and she gritted her teeth and kept her body still. He was sent to the theater last night. Luo Zixi was shocked at first, but after knowing the whole story, she actually picked up a gun and hit him hard on the back.
Now Su Changqing is holding several heavy scars on her back...
Su Li looked at the restless look of the brother and sister, with clear eyebrows and eyes, and followed the butler's words, making sacrifices step by step.
After three bows and nine kowtows, Su Li was helped up. Mu Xiang pointed to the location at the entrance of the courtyard. Su Li turned her head and looked at Liuying, but saw Liuying standing there frowned slightly, as if something was wrong.
Su Li raised his hand to him and signaled him to come in. Liuying quickly stepped in and whispered something in her ear. Su Li was slightly stunned and turned around and walked to Prime Minister Su's side to salute.
"Father, the prince summoned his daughter if he has something to do."
"The sacrifice has not been finished, just make excuses to go out, eldest sister, this is disrespectful to the ancestors."
