    On the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, everything was ready.  The house has been replaced with door gods, couplets, signs, and new oil, making it look brand new and full of joy.  From the main gate, the ceremonial gate, the hall, the warm pavilion, the inner hall, the three inner gates, the inner ceremonial gate and the inner gate to the main hall, the main entrance is wide open.

    Wenwan ran from here to there, and ran back to here.  It's so fun to see how busy people are.  Several maids followed, watching her lively and interesting, and they followed her to have fun on her own.  Wen Wan sighed, really, the Chinese New Year was really lively in ancient times.  It doesn't look modern at all.  Of course, it is also cumbersome.

    The next day, Ping Mu and other people who had titles all wore court clothes according to their rank. They first took an eight-person sedan and led everyone to pay their respects.  When Wen Wan got off the sedan chair back at the palace, she was ranked third.  There was a child standing among a group of old people and women. He looked weird.  When greeting, Wen Wan saw a scene of crows and crows.  She didn't know anyone, anyway.  After the ceremony and banquet, he returned home and was introduced to the ancestral hall.

    Wen Wan started to have a headache, thinking about it was really painful.  When I arrived at the ancestral hall, I saw, hey, it looked completely different from the one I came before.  Now the ancestral temple is filled with incense candles and brocade camphors with rusty curtains.

    The patriarch presided over the ceremony, and the old Duke Ping accompanied him. Ping presented his title to Xi, and the two sons of the patriarch presented silk and held incense to Hong.  Qingyi music was played, three knights were presented, worship was performed, silk was burned and wine was offered.

    The pigs and sheep used for the sacrifice are both pigs and sheep that are one foot long; then there are one plate each of chicken, duck, goose, meat and fish, two plates each of sacrificial cakes and steamed buns, two plates each of longevity peaches and red dates, and the remaining land is taken five  Five is counted.  There are five caramels, five sesame buns, five candied fruits, five bunches of fruits, and five five fruit-embedded candies, followed by five-color candies, five-color cakes, five-color covered fruits, and five-color fresh fruits.  Each table has twenty dishes, eight bowls, and two soups.  There are also five plates of fruits.  Four plates of dumplings.  One plate each of rice cakes and steamed buns.  In addition, tea and wine are also prepared.  There are dozens or hundreds of plates inside and outside.

    Wenwan looked at those plates and muttered in her heart, how luxurious.  I seem to have heard that these things are not allowed to be eaten. What a waste.

    Wen Wan followed Ping Mu and the others and stood outside.  When these sacrificial items arrived here, they were passed to Xiang Hong, then to the Song family, then to Wen Wan, then to the eldest lady, and the eldest lady to Ping Mu.  Ping's mother passed it on to the patriarch's wife, and the patriarch's wife held Fang and placed it on the altar table.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The ceremony is over.  The patriarch and old Duke Ping hurriedly exited.  The remaining junior princes saluted Ping's mother.

    Arriving at Ping¡¯s mother¡¯s upper room, Ping¡¯s mother sat down and several older ladies sat on it.  There are twelve carved lacquer chairs placed opposite each other on two sides of the ground, all of which are small mattresses of the same color.  Under each chair was a large copper foot stove for Wen Wan and other sisters to sit on.

    The eldest lady served tea to Ping's mother, and the eldest grandmother served tea to all the old grandmothers.  After that, several other daughters-in-law of the family brought tea to the sisters.

    "This is the princess! She looks pretty. She really looks like a young girl." An aunt said to Wen Wan in surprise.

    Wen Wan bowed to her great-uncle politely and sat back down.

    "Look at the majesty of the whole body. You are worthy of being a descendant of the royal family. Compared with the princess, my granddaughters are as good as one day. Sister, you are so lucky!" The great-uncle complimented with a smile.  Wenwan and Pingmu.  Ping's mother smiled and said that this was also a blessing for the royal family.

    Wen Wan just smiled and didn't answer.  In the past, all the people were indifferent to me, but now they are so enthusiastic, there must be something fishy.

    "Princess, when the county is free, I will ask my granddaughters to go to the princess's place more and get along with the sisters more. We are all a family. Princess, please tell me." The great-uncle saw that  Wen Wan didn't answer her words, so she could only talk to herself.

    Everyone looked at Wen Wan.  Say this.  You're not making up your own mind.  Wen Wan smiled without nodding.  He didn't even shake his head.

    "Princess, this is what my uncle and aunt have said. Sister, we are all a family. Sisters should still move around more. You say yes or no." Turning to Ping's mother.  Ping's mother naturally agreed, but unfortunately, there is no one who can be Wen Wanzhu here.  The same goes for Ping Mu.

    Xia Yu hurriedly translated after a few gentle strokes, "The princess said that sisters should naturally get along with each other more. However, the princess likes to be quiet and dislikes making noise, so I ask the old lady to forgive me."

    When there are many people, there will naturally be trouble. This is a disguised form of rejection.  One of the old men looked at Wen Wan, his eyes burning.

    "The princess is celebrating the New Year, she is seven years old, right?" Another old man said, she should be called great-aunt.  I don¡¯t know who Wen Wan is.  There are so many relatives in the family, how can one recognize them all?  Ping's mother smiled and said, after today, it will be seven years.

    "My mother-in-law has a grandnephew who is ten years old this year. He is smart and good-looking. If he stands with the princess, he will definitely be?As a child and a beautiful girl.  Old sister, look, is it done?  If it works, I will bring my great-nephew over in two days to give you a hand.  "The old man said.

    Wen Wan felt that she was shocked. She was only seven years old.  Someone will find someone to match him with.

    "What my great-aunt said was Master Cao, the Minister of Household Affairs, is the third son of Mr. Cao Song?" The eldest grandmother deliberately pretended to be confused.  If it is right, it will be a happy event.

    "Of course it is. He is the legitimate second son of my nephew. He is very talented and learned at a young age. I only came up with the idea after seeing that the princess liked it. Old sister, look at it!" said my great-aunt lovingly.  With.

    Several people present were a little shocked.  Cao Song, the third young master of the Cao family, the Minister of Household Affairs, is only ten years old and is famous for his talents.  He could speak well at the age of three, write poems at the age of five, and write good articles at the age of seven.  If Mr. Cao hadn't stopped him, he would have been able to leave the restaurant at the age of ten.  I heard that he looks like a porcelain doll and will definitely be a handsome man in the future.  In the past two years, not many people have taken an interest in the third young master of the Cao family.  I heard that both Princess Chun and Princess Fuling wanted to tell Cao Song to their daughter, but unfortunately they could not do so.  Many nobles in the capital came up with the idea of ??getting married, but Master Cao rejected them all.  It is said that the child is still young, and it will be said in two years.

    This time, why did you fall in love with Wen Wan?  Although Wen Wan is now the princess, you must know that there is also the prince's daughter in the marriage to Cao Song, and she will definitely also be the princess in the future!  Moreover, they are both talented and beautiful.  more importantly.  People are healthy, not mute.

    And no one doubted what the old lady said.  Therefore, when this great aunt said this, no one thought she was planning something.  Instead, I envy Wen Wan's good luck.

    Qing Ci and Qing Hairao looked at Wen Wan with envy and hatred.  Why can a mute get such a good marriage? After working so hard, he still has to beg the old lady, but he can't get it.  Is family background really so important?

    Others are relatively normal.

    Qingshan looked at Wen Wan with hatred.  Her mother also mentioned it to her.  I also asked Mrs. Cao personally.  It's a pity that others look down upon me.  But why, why did he look down on himself, but he fell in love with this mute?

    Brother Cao Song, an ordinary person like a god.  How can you match a mute!  No, you must not, you must tell Brother Cao Song.  You must not let your brother Cao Song's reputation go bad.  I told myself secretly.

    If Wen Wan knew what Qingshan was thinking, she would probably faint from laughter.  She didn't even know whether Cao Song was round or flat.  Even the gods in the sky are not interested in whether I am only seven years old.  A sigh at most.  Today¡¯s children are so precocious!

    "This. Of course it is excellent. It's just that I can't make the decision about her marriage. It needs the emperor's consent." Although Ping's mother doesn't like Wenwan, this family relationship is excellent.  Naturally, there is no reason for extrapolation.  The Cao family is naturally a superior family.

    "If you agree, little sister, my niece-in-law can ask the nobles in the palace to intercede and ask the palace to agree to the marriage and let the two children settle down." said my great-aunt, Mrs. Cao.

    "Of course it's great." Ping's mother said with a smile.

    Mr. Cao¡¯s daughter-in-law, Yuanshi, and the palace¡¯s current favorite concubine, the sixteenth prince¡¯s mother-in-law, Concubine De.  It's handkerchief delivery.  It's such a small thing, I should be able to ask for it.

    When Wen Wan heard this, she became anxious.  I don¡¯t want to have a fianc¨¦ out of nowhere!  Stand up immediately and want to object.  He was stopped by a look from Grandma Gu.  Immediately sit back in your seat obediently.  Everyone else seemed to understand, except for the great aunt, whose eyes flashed.

    "Old madam, please forgive me for being abrupt. The princess's marriage requires the emperor's nod." Grandma Gu saluted and said.

    "Haha, of course. The princess chooses a family without reporting it to the emperor. After two days, I will ask my niece-in-law to ask for favor from the palace." My great-aunt said with a smile.

    Then a group of people laughed and talked, Wen Wan felt very dazzling.  What do you mean? You don¡¯t even ask yourself what you mean. You treat yourself like a commodity and sell it at the same price!

    ¡°If it weren¡¯t for Grandma Gu¡¯s sharp eyes that stopped me, I would have jumped up and said something, but I didn¡¯t want to.  In ancient times, a woman's reputation was so important. It didn't matter whether she loved her or not, or whether she was in love or not.  The other party was good-looking and talented, so if he died or became disabled in the process, wouldn't he be very unlucky?

    "When I was listening to some gossips between embroiderers and maids, they told me that there was a strange man in the capital, the sixth young master of the Bai family, who was the number one scholar in martial arts last year.  He was engaged to be married when he was three years old, but his fianc¨¦e died within six months.  They got engaged at the age of nine, but the woman fell ill and died of a sudden illness a year later.  When she was twelve years old, she got engaged to another family. Half a year later, the woman went to a temple to worship Buddha. She met a bandit on the road and committed suicide because she did not want to be humiliated.  Fifteen years old, counting now, that is, last April, his cousin is in good health.  And I was afraid of what might happen. Ever since we got engaged,The family was afraid of accidents, so they kept the girl at home and didn't go out anywhere. They planned to get married after the Chinese New Year.  Who knows, just like this, after he passed the Wushuangyuan exam, probably around early November, his cousin lost her footing and fell into the water while walking in the garden, and drowned.

    This man has become a famous wife-suppressant in the capital.  I found four fianc¨¦es, but they were all gone.  From then on, no one wanted to marry them anymore.  When the man heard that his cousin had drowned, and because of previous comments that he was a slave to his wife, he was so angry that he begged the emperor and went to the front line to fight.

    Wen Wan felt that the man was very unlucky.  You said, if he hadn't gotten engaged so early and waited until he was sixteen, there wouldn't have been any accidents. Where did the four accidents come from?  The only thing that caused the bad luck was an accident, so of course no one said anything.  It's just that his family is so anxious.  Now, you are out of luck!

    ¡°I don¡¯t want to follow in her footsteps. There was already a rumor that the father, the mother, and the family were being harmed.  I don¡¯t want to be accused of being a husband again in the future.

    "Princess, don't worry. The emperor will not allow this marriage." Aunt Gu comforted Wen Wan.  Wen Wan looked at Grandma Gu strangely, why was she so sure.

    "The princess has just joined the Royal Jade Disc, and she has to stay for two more years no matter what. The emperor loves the princess so much, he must be reluctant to part with it." Grandma Gu said it but didn't say it.

    ??Wenwan responded, returned to the room, and looked outside thoughtfully.  Is there something else that I don¡¯t know?  Wen Wan always felt that she had overlooked something.  Starting from the three fiefs, there are also these maids.  Could there be a spy inside?  Thinking about it, I feel that my brain has been used too much, and I am not a great person, so I don't want to spend time on myself.  However, the vigilance that should be exercised cannot be relaxed.

    "Xia Ying, come with me for a walk." Wen Wan put on the windy snow fox coat and went out to watch.  There are big bright lights hanging high on both sides everywhere.  The people below were also running around in a hurry, all dressed up in coats and clothes.  There was a lot of noise and laughter.

    Listening to the constant sound of firecrackers, Wen Wan didn¡¯t feel lively, but instead felt lonely.  The excitement is theirs, not yours.  I am just a passer-by here, a spectator.

    There are a few people who are sincere to themselves.  My uncle is probably 60% sincere to me, and the emperor's grandfather is probably 20% concerned about me.  The people around him are all ordered to protect and take care of him, and they can't be said to be sincere.  There is no one who is truly sincere to oneself. In this world, there is only oneself.  She lives alone, alone, in this world.

    I have endured loneliness and loneliness for so many years.  You can continue to endure it.  But is there any point in enduring this?  God allowed her to live again. Is the meaning of life just to let herself suffer again?

    Wen Wan was at a loss and fell into deep confusion.

    "Princess, I'm going back." Xia Ying looked at Wen Wan with a bad expression, guessing that she must be in a bad mood now, and hurriedly persuaded her to go back.

    On the second day, the son, daughter-in-law, grandson and granddaughter came over one by one to pay New Year greetings to the old man and the old lady. They looked around and saw no gentle people.  The old man asked.

    "The princess went out to see the night view last night and caught a cold due to the cold wind. She is still lying on the bed now. Come back when you feel better to avoid getting over the illness." The old lady was not happy when she heard that she was celebrating the New Year.  , you went outside to enjoy the breeze and deliberately made yourself sick to warm everyone up!

    The others had different expressions.  After receiving the letter, the eldest lady took her eldest grandma to visit Wenwan, but Wenwan fell asleep and did not see her.  I asked for medicinal materials and left.  Wenwan slept all day.

    Because I went out for a walk at night, I had a fever that night, and Huali caught a cold.  I ate a bowl of ginger soup at night, but when I woke up in the morning, I felt dizzy.  It¡¯s best to take a day off and get some sleep.  Looking at Wen Wan's appearance, Doctor Wang also said that Wen Wan's health was good!  Otherwise, he would have to lie down for at least ten and a half days.  Let Wen Wan feel very lucky and become more determined to exercise well.

    ¡°I already have to take three bowls of medicine every day, and I also have to receive a golden needle.  Doctor Wang has already given an answer. He should be cured within three to five years.  That is, for three to five years.  What a pain!  (To be continued)
