Reborn Fierce Wife: Young Marshal Slowly Coaxes Her

On New Year's Eve, after lunch, the Governor's Mansion began to prepare for the sacrifice.

The lady asked Yan Xin to worship her ancestors because she was an adopted daughter.

Yan Xin couldn't refuse, so she followed.

The ancestral hall is in the old house, in a special courtyard to the west. It is usually taken care of by the warlord's aunt.

When several people from the Governor's Mansion rushed to the old house, everyone in the Xi Mansion was present, except for the second young master Jing Zhonglin who was a "guest" at the Zhang family in Beicheng.

When He Menglan saw the governor and the eldest lady Sheng Yun walking in side by side, his cheeks trembled slightly, and the anger and jealousy on his face could not be concealed.

Despite her age, she was still so excited, and the children in Xifu were helpless.

Jing Feiyan, the youngest daughter of Xifu, held her mother's hand firmly.

After the second young master left, the children in Xifu were all learning how to suppress their mother's untimely temper. Only Jing Feiyan succeeded.

Like her second brother, she was highly regarded by the governor and could speak well, so she could also hold her mother down.

The second lady's expression condensed.

"Azhao, you go to the ancestral hall first and see how the sacrifices are being prepared." The governor ordered his eldest son.

Going to check again.

Jing Yuanzhao said yes and went first.

Zhang Nanshu couldn't sit still, and she was just a guest, so she quietly followed Jing Yuanzhao away.

Yan Xin didn't even hold her back.

The rest of the people were sitting in the main room of the warlord's aunt, chatting for a while, waiting for the old grandmother to change clothes and make up.

The old grandmother is the elder of the Jing family and the real old feudal prince. Fortunately, this ancestor was wise and cautious and never interfered in the governor's household affairs, nor did he take sides in the fight between Sheng Yun and He Menglan.

"Mom." The old lady came out, and the warlord spoke first.

Even though she was an aunt, a warlord and a mother-in-law, he still had to call her aunt and mother.

Yan Xin met this old lady for the first time.

The old lady wears a dark blue cloak and a sapphire blue quilted jacket. She walks quite steadily and does not need crutches. Her gray hair is tied into a low bun and wears a sapphire hairpin.

"Let's go, don't waste time having New Year's Eve dinner." said the old lady.

The military governor personally supported the old lady and said, "Slow down."

The military governor said something to the old lady, and the old lady suddenly stopped and looked into the crowd.

Everyone also stopped.

"Is that her?" The old lady pointed at Yan Xin.

Yan Xin: "..."

The military governor called to Yan Xin: "Zhu Zhu'er, come here."

Yan Xin stepped forward and arrived in front of the old lady.

There was no hint of happiness or anger in the old lady's attitude. She glanced at her calmly, then turned to talk to the warlord: "The adopted daughter is no different from the adopted daughter. Is she older?"

"Yes, a girl from the west, she is the oldest." said the warlord.

It's not too big, just one or two years apart.

"Then let her take the first place," the old lady said.

Yan Xin was secretly surprised, but there was no sign of anything strange on her face.

He Menglan heard this and immediately said: "Mom, the adopted daughter is not a bloodline, and even the ancestors don't know her. She should stand behind Jiatong and Feiyan!"

They talked about the order of standing when holding dishes when worshiping ancestors.

"In previous years, when the adopted daughter stood in front, I didn't say anything. I didn't want to argue every time. But how could an adopted daughter, whom I recognized as an unrelated person, stand in front of my two daughters?" He Menglan enlarged sound.

That adopted daughter...

Sheng Rouzhen, who was about to become her daughter-in-law, didn't get any respect from her.

The warlord's face darkened.

The old lady said irritably to the warlord: "Tell her to keep her voice down. I'm old and can't bear to hear any noise."

The military governor looked at He Menglan: "Shut up, otherwise you will go back and think about your mistakes behind closed doors, and you won't be allowed to come out during the first month of the year."

This threat successfully suppressed the second lady.

Sheng Rouzhen on the side suddenly said: "Sister will be the daughter-in-law in the future, so she should be the first among the younger generation."

The old lady immediately looked at Yan Xin again and scanned her face.

Then, he frowned slightly, not very satisfied.

However, the old lady didn't say anything about Yan Xin, but just asked the warlord: "Young man, can you clarify your affairs over there first before you ask me? Everyone, please interrupt. It's a mess."

"It's my son's fault," said the warlord.

He glanced hard at Sheng Rouzhen.

Sheng Rouzhen felt cold all over.

She shouldn't have spoken. When she spoke like this, both the military governor and the old lady regarded her as "people like He Menglan".

But she really couldn't control her emotions.

I remember when she first participated in ancestor worship and stood in front of Jing Jiatong and Jing Feiyan, Jing Feiyan was not very happy.

Sheng Rouzhen didn't understand that kind of jealousy.

This year, she will change from an adopted daughter to a quasi-daughter-in-law, and she is the first daughter-in-law of the warlord, but she is inexplicably pushed over by Yan Xin and wants to stand behind Yan Xin.

The reason behind the warlord's nonsense was actually that Yan Xin was old!

Sheng Rouzhen was so jealous that she couldn't hold it back and said something sad.

Unexpectedly, the old lady and the governor did not change their minds, but blamed her for speaking inappropriately.

Sheng Rouzhen squeezed her hands tightly and went to see the governor's wife again.

The madam didn't look at her and just walked forward.

The Jing family's sacrifices were not very lively because the Jing family was not prosperous.

Ou Jun's father and uncle together gave Ou Jun one son. Ou Jun made up for the regret of the previous generation and had five sons. However, Jing Zhonglin was not at home, and the others had not yet married, and there were no next generations.

Compared with other families with large groups of children and grandchildren, the Jing family has only had just a few people for more than ten years, which makes it look a bit "shabby".

Governor Jing was the chief priest, followed behind him were Jing Yuanzhao and his third son Jing Shuhong, one holding wine and the other holding silk.

The sacrifice is first sprinkled with wine three times. Because sacrificial wine requires the use of a three-legged wine jue specially used for sacrificial ceremonies, this is also called "Xianjue".

At the end of the ceremony, everyone knelt down and worshiped; after kneeling down, they burned gold and silk, offered wine again, and knelt down again. After it is over, the sacrifices begin to be passed around.

The sacrifices include meals, snacks, fruits, tea and wine, which are prepared by the servants and brought into the ancestral hall one by one by the female relatives and placed on the table.

The old lady stood first, followed by the eldest lady Sheng Yun, then the second lady He Menglan, followed by the "eldest adopted daughter" Yan Xin, and then Sheng Rouzhen, Jing Jiatong and Jing Feiyan.

After the sacrifices were placed, incense was burned, and everyone knelt down and worshiped again, the New Year's Eve sacrifice was concluded.

New Year's Eve dinner at the old house.

An Eight Immortals table was placed indoors, with the governor, his wife, the second wife, and the old lady sitting at the main table; the other children were at the secondary table.

The second table was a bit crowded, and there were nine people sitting at the Eight Immortals table, which was a bit too crowded, so another small table was opened.

The New Year's Eve dinner was very sumptuous, but everyone's appetite was not very good.

Every New Year's Eve is not a happy one.

The restaurant is relatively quiet.

After dinner, the children can go out to play. There are many new, fashionable and fun things to do during the New Year in the lively streets; the adults listen to the opera and stay up with the old lady.

The governor whispered to his wife: "Our family is too small. Without children to make noise, the New Year will seem deserted."

"Yes," said the lady.

He added, "When Rouzhen marries Shuhong, there might be a baby crying next year."

The warlord didn't feel very happy after hearing this.

Jing Shuhong is stupid, and Sheng Rouzhen is not much smarter either. The warlord was not looking forward to the child they had.

But Yan Xin and Jing Yuanzhao...

"I only hope that Zhu Zhu'er and Azhao will get married. When they have children, I will retire and have grandchildren." said the warlord.

The lady was amused by him: "I'm afraid you won't be able to stay idle by then."

"I am a person who is destined to be rich and noble. I am only afraid of being busy and not afraid of being idle. How can I not be idle? You are destined to work hard and really have no idle time." said the warlord.

Madame laughed again.

The second lady saw people talking and laughing over there, and her face turned livid.

Jing Feiyan saw that her mother was about to lose control, so she had to stand up, walk to the governor and the first lady, interrupt the two people's talking and laughing, and save the situation.

On New Year's Eve, the brothers and sisters all went out to play, including Sheng Rouzhen.

Jing Feiyan stayed, not because she didn't like the excitement, but because she didn't want her father to lose her temper, and she didn't want her mother to suffer.
