With a snap, Feng Shuangshuang's entire face turned red.
"After the New Year, my brother will go to the capital. Are you willing to go with him to the capital?" The smile on Feng Chun's face suddenly faded, replaced by seriousness and rigor.
"Yes." Feng Shuangshuang didn't notice this change in Feng Chun at all. She just remained silent in her happiness at being able to see Brother Li.
Feng Chun's originally gentle eyes narrowed slightly, hoping that this girl would give up on her future trip to the capital. After all, the palace was not suitable for her.
New Year's Eve is also New Year's Eve. This is the first year Bai Xi has spent here. Moreover, this is the first time Feng Ming has celebrated the New Year in Feng's family after taking over the Feng family, so this year is much more grand than before. .
Early in the morning, there was a heaven-sacrifice ceremony hosted by Feng Ming himself.
This heaven-sacrifice venue is a three-story round platform made of white marble, surrounded by railings, steps, and two surrounding walls. There is a Origin Imperial Vault in the north, which is a special building for storing the tablets of gods used to worship heaven.
There are a total of seven groups of altars on the altar of worship to heaven. Each group of altars is made of azure satin to form a temporary temple. There is a main altar on the north side of the upper center stone. There is a tablet of the emperor and the emperor. The altar is multi-sided. It is conical in shape; on the east and west sides of the second level altar are tablets for the slaves, sun, moon, stars, clouds, rain, wind and thunder, and the sacred altar is rectangular; in front of the altar are jade, silk, whole cattle, whole sheep, whole hogs, wine and fruits. , dishes and other large quantities of offerings. There are more than 700 vessels for holding sacrifices and various ritual vessels used. There is a blessing table on the south side of the central stone on the upper floor, and the emperor's place of worship is located directly south of the upper and middle platforms. On the east and west sides of the steps just south of the Circular Mound Altar, there are 16 types of Zhonghe Shao music composed of chimes, chimes, and bells, and more than 60 musical instruments. They are neatly arranged and solemn and spectacular.
This is exactly the same as the emperor's heaven-sacrifice ceremony, even more solemn.
Bai Xi frowned, why did she have to come to this kind of heaven-sacrifice ceremony? There are so many rules for this kind of heaven-sacrifice. No sound is allowed, not even saliva or coughing. Let's not talk about these for now. Just stand there. These two hours were really exhausting her. There are also those poems for worshiping the heaven, which are all in classical Chinese. I was already tired, but I became even more tired after listening to them.
Bai Xi raised her eyes slightly, glaring at the crescent-white figure standing on the round platform with a hint of displeasure. But when she looked at the handsome eyebrows, golden eyes, and straight nose, she felt a little indifferent and a little arrogant. , but for some reason, the anger in her heart was gradually disappearing.
Feng Ming seemed to feel her gaze, and his golden eyes moved to meet hers. Bai Xi was startled, and suddenly lowered his eyes, his cheeks turned red, and she was secretly annoyed with herself, why was she ashamed, why did she avoid him? The eyes, really.
In response to her reaction, the thin lips suddenly curled up slightly, allowing him to find pleasure in this boring heaven-sacrifice ceremony.
All the elders and others lowered their heads seriously and listened to the heaven-sacrifice words read by the third elder. Who would have noticed this small episode.
After the sacrifice to heaven, they came to the Feng Family Ancestral Hall.
The Feng Family Ancestral Temple is where the successive heads of the Feng Family are enshrined, and only the previous heads of the Feng Family can go in to offer sacrifices. The elders and bloodline members of the Feng Family can only wait outside the ancestral hall, while others can only wait further away. With. However, something unexpected happened today. In addition to Feng Ming, Bai Xi also followed in. No, to be precise, he was pulled in.
"Fifth, Eighth, and Ninth, it's true, how could you not help me just now and let the head of the family lead outsiders into the ancestral temple?" The fourth elder looked reproachfully at the few people around him. Elders, although they don't interfere in the family head's affairs, how can they act so nonsense when someone other than the family head enters the Feng family's ancestral temple
"Fourth brother, do you think the head of the family wouldn't have brought Mr. Yue in if we had spoken and persuaded him?" Elder Ninth said helplessly. Over the past few days, they all knew how the family leader treated Young Master Yue, and in the ceremony to worship the heaven just now, Young Master Yue stood in the front row of them, which had already broken the precedent.
"Fourth brother, everyone has gone in. It's useless for you to talk here." The fifth elder was different from the helplessness of the ninth elder, but there was an intriguing smile on his face.
"Fourth, the head of the family must have his own thoughts on this move. Since everyone has gone in, we don't need to argue here anymore." The third elder said slowly, which also made the fourth elder close his mouth. Mouth, swallow all the words into your stomach.
"Elders, why are you so nervous? Although this ancestral temple can only be entered by successive family heads, it seems that you have forgotten one thing. Before Mr. Yue entered, there was someone who went in, so this case has been broken a long time ago." This sentence suddenly sounded out in a light and nonchalant tone.
"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?" Feng Chun shrugged, looking at the glances that came his way with an innocent expression.
"That's right, my brother is right, Sister Lanlan has been there before." Feng Shuangshuang pouted her little mouth and whispered, leaning slightly closer to Feng Chun to avoid the gazes of the elders.
"Ahem, Shuang'er, how many times have I told you not to call your elders by their first names." Mr. Feng Er seemed to be scolding angrily, but his eyes were full of helplessness. This daughter had long been spoiled by her, and her sister-in-law, she … Why.
"My daughter knows." Feng Shuangshuang didn't refute. She had already learned how to deal with this. She stuck out her tongue slightly, with a smile on her face and crooked eyes. She was very cute. The third elder and others People couldn't bear to blame her anymore. In fact, they knew very well that Madam never liked others calling her any names related to her old name.
"Master Feng Er, what do you think about the relationship between the master of the family and Mr. Yue?" The fourth elder asked again. He has been asking Master Feng Er for his opinion on this matter, but every time , Mr. Feng Er just smiled and didn't answer, so this time he didn't plan to continue to inquire from the side, and just asked questions head-on. Anyway, there are no outsiders here now.
Mr. Feng Er shook his head and smiled. This time he did not avoid it, but answered directly, "This is the private matter of the head of the family. How can I have any opinion? Besides, my sister-in-law has no opinion, so how can we have any opinion."
"Madam sent a letter last night, saying that the marriage of the head of the family has been decided." The third elder suddenly said, "But madam also ordered that the head of the family's wedding will be held in the capital."
Before the elders could recover from the first news, they were shocked by the second news.
When Feng Shuangshuang was about to open her mouth to say something, she was held back by Feng Chun.
"The head of the family has also agreed." Just when the other elders were about to speak, the third elder once again broke the news that shocked them.
The elders looked at each other, worried that something big was going to happen to the Feng family. Originally, it was a good thing for the head of the family to get married, but now, what should we do now
