I'm the Villain's Mother in Time Time

Chapter 218
It's normal for He Mingxue to feel sentimental.

After all, her current situation is really different from before.

"It will take some time for the tribute kitchen. Missy can rest for a while." Lin Chuqian explained the kitchen to her.

Naturally, He Mingxue could understand what was going on here, and after she nodded lightly, she didn't have much reaction.

Maybe she thinks that now I am a fish and meat and can only be manipulated by others.

"Cough-cough-"

A deep cough came from outside the house, He Mingxue just vaguely heard it, and hurried out to greet him.

He Changbai came here with the help of Quanzi, and as soon as he stepped into the yard, he saw He Mingxue in a fine attire. "elder sister."

"Bai'er." He Mingxue hurried to help him. "Why are you here? You don't have to come."

Although she said so, her words gradually choked up in the end.

The daughter's family attaches great importance to the ceremony of admission, so it's nothing more than a quiet one, and no guests have come. Now that her own brother is here with illness, it will inevitably trigger the grievance and sadness in her heart.

Lin Chuqian stood by the door and did not go up to disturb their siblings.

"Your illness is just right, why don't you take a good rest." He Mingxue blamed in a low voice.

He Changbai covered his mouth and coughed, then raised his head and smiled at her. "My sister passed the exam today, why don't I come?"

He Mingxue smiled wryly, revealing a little sadness. "Today is no different from the past, so why do you need to run?"

"Sister—cough, cough—" He Changbai just wanted to say something but was drowned in the sound of coughing, He Mingxue nervously helped him into the room to rest.

Lin Chuqian didn't follow in, but waited for the red ring in the yard looking at the sky.

The weather is cloudy and cool today, adding a bit of coolness to the hot past.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, Hong Huan came back with the offerings for worship. As soon as he entered the room and saw Lin Chuqian, he said, "Fortunately, Aunt Bai, you reminded me to go to the kitchen to watch, otherwise I don't know how long it will take for Aunt Zhou to come back." Get ready, when I passed by, I saw her idle chatting with others, if I hadn't watched her personally, I'm afraid the tribute wouldn't be able to come out today."

Lin Chuqian smiled, not too surprised. "Okay, isn't everything ready now? Hurry up and put it away."

With a beep, Hong Huan neatly placed the offerings in her hand on the worship table, took out the scented oil candles from the room, and began to prepare.

Lin Chuqian wandered around the yard again, conveniently chanting the lines that she needed to say when saluting later, which was a bit awkward, and she was really afraid of making a mistake.

Honghuan and Quanzi ran back and forth to get ready, and after a while, they finished the altar.

"Aunt Bai, you can start now."

Hong Huan yelled at her, turned around and went into the room to inform He Mingxue.

Lin Chuqian walked to the stage where all kinds of tributes were placed. On it were pigs, sheep and cattle to worship the heaven and the earth. There were incense sticks, paper money, etc. Seeing this dazzling array of things, she felt dizzy for a while.

I muttered in my heart that she is actually a modern person in her 20s, and now asking her to help a 15-year-old ancient girl get married is really ridiculous.

I have no experience, and I am a little apprehensive when I see this lot of things.

***Educates us not to be superstitious, but to believe in science.

So this matter of worshiping heaven and earth, etiquette and honor, it should be regarded as doing as the Romans do in the countryside, so follow along!

"Aunt Laobai is here."

He Mingxue walked to Lin Chuqian's side, bowed and was rude, spoke softly and generously.

Lin Chuqian nodded slightly, with a solemn expression, got up and walked to the altar, and said to the heaven and the earth: "On the auspicious day of the lunar calendar, I will start to add yuan clothes and abandon my young ambitions. Shuner Chengde, Shou Kao Weiqi, Jie Er Jingfu."

He Mingxue lowered his eyes and sat on the mat facing the east. Lin Chuqian turned around and half knelt behind her, took the ropa and hairpin from the red ring, and asked He Mingxue to comb her hair and put the comb on the south side of the mat.

-

He Mingxue stood up and kowtowed to heaven and earth, originally she was supposed to salute her parents, but unfortunately her parents were not there, so she had to salute in the direction of Tan Zichen's courtyard.

After saluting, she knelt down in front of the stage again, and Lin Chuqian hurriedly stepped forward to take off her hairpin and replaced it with a jade hairpin.

So far the gift is complete.

He Mingxue was wearing the clothes that Tan Zichen carefully prepared for her, and her head was full of blue hair tied up with a simple and elegant jade hairpin, which complemented each other perfectly.

Her temperament is very similar to Tan Zichen's, noble and elegant, this kind of natural dignity is completely different from the gentleness of He Mingqiu and other ladies who have been cultivated with gold, silver and poetry.

Lin Chuqian breathed a sigh of relief as the extremely simple Jiji ceremony was basically completed, and nothing went wrong.

He Mingxue saluted her gracefully. "Thank you for today's matter, Aunt Bai."

Lin Chuqian waved her hands quickly. "Miss, you are welcome."

He Mingxue didn't speak, but raised his head and looked at He Changbai who was trying to suppress his coughing, with some tears in his eyes, but a smile on his face.

Lin Chuqian turned her face away and pretended she didn't see it. Now that the matter was done, she was ready to leave, so she bowed slightly and said to He Mingxue, "If Missy has no other orders, I'll go back first."

He Mingxue nodded with a smile, before she could say anything, she saw the previously concealed courtyard door being pushed open from the outside.

"Miss is holding the Jiji Ceremony today, I am late, I hope Miss will not mind." Before seeing him, he heard his voice first, Aunt Liu's pretentious voice came in.

The corner of Lin Chuqian's mouth twitched without showing any trace, thinking that Aunt Liu will come sooner or later, she will come sooner or later?

It's unfortunate that the dispute between Aunt Liu and Tan Zishen involved their children, and she didn't want to get involved at all.

Seeing her appear, He Mingxue and He Changbai turned pale.

Obviously they didn't want to deal with Aunt Liu either.

It's a pity that Aunt Liu turned a blind eye to it. She was dressed gracefully and luxuriously, with the posture of the head of the family. She stepped into the simple courtyard surrounded by stars, covered her nose with her handkerchief, and said in feigned surprise: "Missy is as good as Jizhi!" Why didn’t the guests invite the ceremony? It’s so crude and sloppy? Don’t hurt the face of the He and Qin families.”

He Mingxue knew that she came here specially to watch the jokes, to ridicule her, so she simply turned her face away and ignored her.

"Sister is here?" Aunt Liu seemed surprised to see Lin Chuqian, and hurriedly stepped forward to hold her arm affectionately. "Could it be that my sister is here to help the eldest lady perform the ceremony? I'm afraid it's not suitable for the ceremony!"

Is it wrong with etiquette?

Isn't all this thanks to her?
Lin Chuqian resisted the urge to shake her hand away, and explained with a smile on her face: "Miss' ceremony is simple, the master is not here, and everyone else in the house is busy, so I just come to help when I have time." Share one or two."

"My sister really has a heart." Aunt Liu said with a smile, with a little sarcasm in her words.

"But it's not entrusted by Aunt Liu." Lin Chuqian quickly made an excuse. "It turns out that this matter has nothing to do with me, and Aunt Liu personally ordered me to do it. If it weren't for this, how could the matter of the young lady and Ji have the luck to fall on me?"

Aunt Liu was blocked by her words, so she couldn't open her mouth to say anything about Lin Chuqian.She turned her head with a smile and looked at He Mingxue. "Miss is going to give you a gift today. As an elder in the mansion, I should give you a gift according to the etiquette."
