The so-called recognition of relatives means that the bride needs to offer tea to many elders on the second day, and the etiquette and titles must be correct.
This is also common in folk marriage customs.
The only difference is that the requirements of Nanzhao Kingdom are more stringent!
On the second day after the wedding of any young couple, all relatives within the five generations of mourning will be present, sitting comfortably, waiting to give gifts to the bride and also waiting for her to serve tea.
In that kind of situation, if you call the wrong person, you will not only be embarrassed and socially frustrated, but you will also be laughed at.
Even more stingy elders from side branches or sisters-in-law will immediately have a bad impression of the bride, and there will naturally be no chance of smooth interactions between them in the future.
Therefore, many ladies waiting to be married, in addition to preparing embroidered dowries, also had to memorize the family tree of the man's family.
It’s just to avoid embarrassment on the second day of the wedding.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Ying, a time traveler, also caught up!
Moreover, the royal family members are either rich or noble, and they are all naturally arrogant, so I dare not make a wrong step in front of them.
So much so that Shen Huijun became worried in advance and wanted to give her some private tutoring.
I'm afraid this is what Yan Zhuo meant?
Jiang Ying numbly let Shen Huijun have a cold face and look of despair, which made Shen Huijun feel extremely distressed.
He couldn't help but sit down, took her hand and patted it: "Sister Ying, we are not afraid, take it slowly."
Jiang Ying really wanted to say, I'm not afraid, the worst that can happen is I'll just give up...
Shen Huijun, however, spoke as if recalling the past, "...I'm not afraid to tell you, when my aunt got married, the thing she was most nervous about was recognizing her relatives.
Because my aunt comes from a merchant family, she is incompatible with royal relatives like them. If she calls her the wrong name again, wouldn’t it prove that the bumpkin has become a phoenix?
So before the wedding, the family asked someone to prepare a royal family tree with portraits, and asked my aunt to memorize it one by one.
But think about it, how difficult is it to match hundreds of names with faces?
So my aunt came up with a solution."
Speaking of this, Shen Huijun smiled unconsciously. The wrinkles at the corners of her eyes showed the natural signs of aging, but it did not affect her spirit at all.
It is enough to show how spiritual she was when she was young, and she was an absolute beauty.
Yan Xi is so lucky. Not only did he marry a walking banker, but this banker is also completely devoted to him.
While Jiang Ying was daydreaming and distracted, Shen Huijun continued to talk enthusiastically.
"My aunt has had a bad memory since she was little. Remembering so many names and faces was incredibly difficult for her. One day, while eating radishes, her vision suddenly brightened. She ordered her servants to buy over a hundred large radishes, pasted portraits and names of your uncle's family on them, and placed them in her boudoir. She looked at them and called out their names every day. After half a month, she finally memorized them all. Later, she was able to successfully pass the recognition test."
Jiang Ying was dumbfounded. "Ah? Is it so difficult?"
"Of course not. The royal family has the most people. No other noble family can compare to them. However, there must be quite a few prominent families in the capital."
Because of this custom, many families, in order to prevent their daughters from suffering, try their best to find in-laws with a small family.
Students from poor families have become popular because of this.
Jiang Ying glanced at the crowd of women in the warm room, feeling overwhelmed. "What kind of life-threatening custom is this? I might as well not get married, okay?"
Hearing this, Shen Huijun was startled and complained, "What nonsense are you talking about, kid? You can even memorize medical books, and it's just recognizing a few people, what's the big deal? Listen to your aunt, there are always more solutions than problems. At worst, you can just follow your aunt's example and use the radish method."
Jiang Ying rolled his eyes. "Carrot method? I'm still using the cabbage method."
Just at this moment, the son was brought over by Yan Zhuo. When the little guy saw his mother, he cried loudly.
[Mom, there are so many people here today~]
[This also counts as all the old guys from my previous life, all of them are here! ]
[Huhu, mother, let me tell you, these people are not good people. They are afraid of death and only want the world to be in chaos. They are even more vicious at gossiping.]
In his previous life, he had experienced this very clearly.
A mouth can bring a person to life, or it can kill a person.
Thinking of this, the little guy couldn't help but worry. [Oh, how could I forget? In my previous life, mother was just a concubine, and she didn't go through the process of recognizing her as a relative. Now that she's the legal wife in this life, this recognition... must not be wrong. Otherwise, she'll be like Jiang Yilin in her previous life, being ridiculed by gossipy women behind her back!]
[Jiang Yilin's life at that time was glorious, but she also had her share of troubles.]
[Just because he called the wrong name "fat aunt" on the second day of his wedding, he was bullied a lot afterwards.]
[Even not getting pregnant for six months became a reason for the attack.]
[Perhaps it was precisely because of this that Jiang Yilin was so anxious and rushed to get pregnant, even going so far as to cheat on her husband.]
[At that time, it just so happened that the scumbag dad was sent to guard the border, and when he came back, he became a father out of the blue. Not only did he have a green hair, but he also raised someone else's child for over ten years...]
Suddenly, when Jiang Ying was getting up to pick up the child, he found that Yan Zhuo had stopped abruptly, with a visibly strange expression on his face.
Like anger, like sarcasm, the self-mockery that spread from the corners of his mouth left everyone present completely confused.
Even Shen Huijun took a step back, nudging Jiang Ying with her elbow and lowering her voice, "Is Prince Mo angry? Did Auntie say anything inappropriate just now?"
Jiang Ying was suspicious, and her delicate facial features began to frown.
Did Shen Huijun make Yan Zhuo unhappy?
No way! When he came, Shen Huijun didn't say a word at all. Only her son was talking in his heart, and she was enjoying listening to the gossip!
Fierce——
An incredible idea popped up in his mind. Jiang Ying narrowed his eyes and looked at Yan Zhuo carefully, his heart in turmoil.
Could it be that... he, he, he, can also hear his son's thoughts?
How else to explain his sudden loss of composure? !
Jiang Ying knew this man very well. He was a man of strong and cold character, almost ruthless. He became better only after he gradually accepted his son and her. However, due to his years of self-cultivation, he was not one to show his emotions openly.
The real thing is to remain calm even when the sky is falling.
It was hard for her to think of anything else that could move him so instantly, other than the safety of herself and her son.
So, the situation just now, other than him accidentally hearing that he was cuckolded and finding it hard to accept, there seemed to be no other possibility...
In addition, he and his son had exchanged blood. Thinking of this, Jiang Ying became more convinced of his guess. The corners of his mouth twitched, and he quickly stepped forward and carefully held the child in his arms. "Your Highness, children's words are innocent. Don't take them to heart."
After he finished speaking, the man looked down at her with a look that gradually became dark and deep.
Others, “???”
What is she talking about? What do you mean by "children's talk"? Did a child just speak?
