Chapter 315: Laba Festival

The days are leisurely when they enter the wax moon, there is no embroidery business, Chu Ning and Xiao Lan wander around the shops in the county all day long, prepare some things for Shangjing, and also buy some bags for the brothers, although Chu Ning doesn't know the place they said, but I heard that it will take more than half a month to get there, so it is better to prepare the things on the road, the so-called "poor family rich road", not to mention that the fourth brother's style is not linked to the word "poor" in any case.

However, after a few days, Chu Ning has grown a lot of knowledge with Xiao Lan, whether it is all kinds of fabrics, or all kinds of jewelry and decorations, or all kinds of tea and soup, or all kinds of tea, soup and wine, everything that Xiao Lan knows, all of them are told to Chu Ning in detail, which has benefited Chu Ning a lot, although it is only a rough understanding, but it will not show timidity when going out in the future.

The day when I made an appointment with Xiao Xiaoying to go to the capital was the ninth day of the lunar month, and seeing that the day of leaving was getting closer and closer, the brothers who were originally scheduled to leave on the fourth day of the new year delayed again and again, for many reasons, at the beginning, they said that the fourth day of the new year was the big cold solar term, the weather was cold, and they wanted to eat dumplings to drive away the cold.

As a result, it was dragged on until the day of Laba, and the ingredients for cooking porridge were washed and soaked last night, Chu Ning counted and saw that there were really eight kinds: yellow rice, white rice, Jiang rice, millet, water chestnut rice, chestnuts, red cowpeas, red dates, Mama Zhang cooked Laba porridge early in the morning, and sprinkled some dried fruits to decorate, and a bowl of steaming "Laba porridge" was served, which really made people appetizing.

Because they were leaving, it was rare for the four of them to get together to eat this breakfast, the porridge was delicious, but except for Chu Ning, the three of them were a little faint and didn't talk much, Chu Ning thought that they were abiding by the rules and "eating without saying anything", so they didn't care, so they just cared about their own happiness.

In addition to the sorrow of parting, the most important thing is to worry about what they will encounter after returning to Da Zhou, although the heir is not yet on the surface, but there are always some small actions, and after the two of them later guessed, this time the father should have the idea of giving marriage to the remaining three unmarried sons, because the eldest prince and King Li already have concubines, and the three princes and he do not even have concubines at present.

The third prince must be hoping to have a powerful concubine of his mother's family, so if it is really as the two think, then the third prince will have to operate well when he goes back this time, but the two of them are not interested at all, but if it is really the marriage of the father, then they don't even have the right to refuse.

After all, Xiao Lan knew the identities of the two, although she didn't know the inside story, but she also knew that this trip would definitely not be a pleasant thing, and she followed a silence, only Chu Ning was the happiest one to eat, and breakfast ended in this weird situation.

Chu Ning wiped her mouth lightly, looked at the three people who had already eaten and waited for her, and said with a smile: "The appetite of the two brothers is as small as Sister Lan'er, it's still far along the way, and the weather is so cold, you should eat more!"

Looking at Chu Ning's bright smile, Chu Yunzhou was slightly congested, when will this little girl grow up and understand his thoughts!

"I'll ask Mama Zhang to load some more food for you on the road! Last time, Sister Lan'er bought a charcoal stove, you can eat it hot in the car, let's take a carriage on such a cold day, don't ride a horse. Chu Ning hurriedly persuaded again, knowing that they had made two preparations.

said that he didn't wait for the two to speak, and followed up to clean up the dishes and chopsticks: "Let Mama Zhang fill two more small cans of laba porridge for the two brothers, and the three are not in a hurry to pretend, and they will be loaded when I go." “
