Chapter 554: Asahi (3)
After Mrs. Su offered the incense and bowed down, all the men and women knelt down and kowtowed together. There was silence inside and outside the ancestral hall...
It wasn't until half an hour later that everyone returned to Rong'an Hall in a mighty manner.
Lin Shi finally breathed a sigh of relief. This was her first ancestor worship since she hosted the Central Feed. If something went wrong, she would definitely be criticized by others. Now, she is the head of the family. Of course, Nangong Mu and Nangong Yue also understood this, and were secretly happy for the Lin family.
After this ancestor worship, it is to pay New Year's greetings to the Su family.
Mrs. Su sat down on the mahogany chair in the main hall with the help of Mrs. Wang, and then the men, the ladies, the aunts, and even those capable stewards and maids all saluted, and the juniors got the lucky money. , the servants have received a lot of rewards, and they are all smiling, and the reward money for the servants alone has given out a full two baskets of silver naked.
After that, there was another New Year's Eve dinner, and another set of firecrackers.
If it was an ordinary family, the whole family should keep the New Year's Eve together, but for Nangong Mansion, tomorrow is the first day of the new year and they need to enter the palace for a pilgrimage, so the Su Clan let everyone disperse and rest early.
Before the first day of the New Year's Day, Nangong Yue got up, and after a rough wash, she heard Thrush come to report that Mrs. Lin was coming.
Today, the only female family members who need to go to the palace to congratulate are Su and Nangong Yue. Originally, the Zhao family had a three-rank official order and was also qualified to enter the palace for pilgrimage, but because the Zhao family was sent to Yuanjue Temple, Nangong Mu simply reported a sudden illness to her. , to save her from entering the palace.
And Mrs. Lin didn't have an appointment, so she was naturally not qualified to enter the palace with Nangong Yue, but Mrs. Lin didn't take it seriously, she even cared more than herself, instructing An Niang, Yimei and Baihui to give Nangong Yue a massage. Put on makeup.
The dresses and jewelry that are mainly worn in this county must be according to the grade, which is very particular. Lin Shi checked it carefully before he was at ease. Then she asked Yanniang to bring some steamed buns and cakes to Nangongyue, let her eat some first, and then take some with her, and specially explained why she couldn't drink porridge and water this morning...
Lin Shi didn't know how many pilgrimages Nangong Yue had made in her previous life, how could she not know that she was going to go to the palace to meet He Tianliang, and would not be able to return until early noon at least. Be careful. On the surface, this visit to the palace to greet someone with a mandate seems to be a favor, but it is actually a matter of suffering.
After everything was ready, Nangong Yue went to the second gate to go to the reconciliation between Su and Nangong Qin, and got into their respective carriages to set off for the palace.
The three parted in front of the Meridian Gate. Nangong Qin went to the Palace of Supreme Harmony to meet the emperor, while Su Shi and Nangong Yue went to Fengluan Palace to meet the queen.
The maids of Fengluan Palace led the ladies into the hall in an orderly manner. According to the grades, the princess, the county master, the county master, the county lord, the county lord, and the women of all levels had their respective positions. Although Nangongyue is the granddaughter of the Su family and should be under the Su family, according to the grades, Nangongyue is the county head of the second rank, Su family is the official wife of the third rank, and Nangongyue is one level higher than the Su family. Therefore, her position is even higher than that of the Su family.
This is not a common occurrence!
For this reason, a series of interesting gazes came over, including envy, jealousy, exploration, and disgust, such as Mrs. Xuan Pingbo, Mrs. Pingyang Hou, such as Mingyue County Master...
Su Shi was embarrassed for a moment, and then said to herself in her heart that it is a good thing that her granddaughter's grade is higher than her own, which means that their Nangong Mansion has not only not declined from generation to generation, but has flourished. So relieved, Su Clan stood at the position of Mrs.
