Chapter 541: Sacrificial Stove
Fang Yiyuan saw that Chu Ning had guessed, and immediately looked defeated: "Sister Ning'er thought of it so quickly! Alas, I came up with it, but such a large sum of money, if my father knew about it, I am afraid that a family law would be indispensable!"
Chu Ning couldn't cry or laugh, Le Qiu breathed a sigh of relief, as long as this Fang Gongzi didn't come to live, otherwise she was worried that her son-in-law would tear down the yard next door when he came back, and no one could stand it, when he came back in more than a month, there was a rival living next door, so it would be strange if he didn't tear it down!
"It's a nice thing to have someone open a little door in the corner next to each other, so we can get back and forth more easily. Chu Ning thinks this is good, it will be convenient to teach embroidery in the future, and the three embroidery girls have received the errand of embroidering wedding dresses, and they also need a quiet and stable environment, otherwise they can't afford it if something happens.
Fang Yiyuan listened to Chu Ning's words, but his face was embarrassed, and he whispered: "This depends on the meaning of the third prince.....
Chu Ning thought about it, in case the three princes of the family wanted to hide Jiaojiao in the golden house, she opened a door, as if she wanted to spy on others, but it was five embroidery girls, could it be that the three princes could come over in a grand manner, Chu Ning thought that it was unlikely.
"In the past few days, I will find some safe people to come and clean up, and buy two mothers-in-law who are responsible for sprinkling, cleaning, laundry and cooking. Fang Yi said from afar.
Chu Ning has no opinions to express, these embroidery girls are enjoying happiness with Guan Xiaoqing, and there are still people waiting, but also, if it is in modern times, these craftsmen are all baby bumps, and they are all expensive!
Fang Yiyuan didn't stay long before leaving, he wanted to stay a little longer! But Le Qiucha didn't serve it, and he kept flying him with a knife, so he didn't want to hate it, besides, it was the twenty-third day of the lunar month, if it weren't for the things that the three princes confessed, he really wouldn't have come here now, and they Dingyuan Marquis Mansion for the New Year was also a lot of things!
Although the sacrificial stove is regarded as an important worship activity for the New Year, according to the custom here, "men do not worship the moon, women do not worship the stove", so the women in this large courtyard actually only have to eat, and the only man Xiaodouzi has become the protagonist of the sacrificial stove.
Mama Zhang had already prepared a lot of sugar melons and sugar cakes, except for those dedicated to the Lord of the Stove, they all entered everyone's mouths, Chu Ning was embarrassed to ask how this was done, but it felt that it should be made of maltose and noodles. For this generation with less sugar and less meat, it is indeed a happy thing to eat some sugar melons and sugar cakes at the annual festival.
Xiaodouzi came out of the stove room, holding the portrait of the stove prince in his hand, came to the center of the courtyard, lit the portrait together with the prepared paper horse and forage, and after kowtowing, he recited words around the fire in his mouth, Chu Ning didn't hear it very clearly, and faintly a few words entered his ears: ....stove king goes to the west ..... there are strong horses...... Safe to ...... Sweet and sweet..... into good words.
Chu Ning suddenly had a feeling of a bonfire party, and immediately dispelled this thought, is it a little disrespectful, and there are a few words of Amitabha Buddha in his heart.
Others are more or less touched.
Xiao Lan is rare to see this situation, the young lady of a large family will not personally sacrifice the stove, they have ancestral halls, family temples, the most solemn ceremony is at that time, this kind of common worship activities in the folk still makes her feel very novel.
Maybe she was born in an ordinary family and lived an ordinary life is also very warm and comfortable, but I'm afraid it's impossible for her, she has already made up her mind to follow Zhou Yunshu, whether it is to be his nominal woman, or to meet in secret, it is not easy, her identity is too special, not only Zhou Yunshu needs courage, she also needs courage to face it.
