"The slave maid asked the girl to say goodbye, and the lady told the girl to go to the ancestral hall to recite the scriptures, and Yin Shizheng did it, and asked the girl not to miss the auspicious time. ”

Miao Lin saluted and said, Gu Anning's little face wrinkled, and he was inevitably a little angry when he got up before he slept well, so he sent the person back with a sullen answer.

After having a morning meal, Gu Anning went to the ancestral hall.

The ancestral hall of the Gu family is located in the seven entrances, and the ancestors of the Gu family are placed in the ancestral hall, and the incense cases are placed in the spiritual seats. "Nine girls, these incense cases have to be cleaned and taken care of today, and those enshrined bodhisattvas have also changed the incense table, and the rest of these are the ancestors and ancestors who will bother the nine girls. ”

There are many ancestors of the Gu family, and there are many famous families from generation to generation, and there are dozens of ancestors alone.

Gu Anning raised her willow eyebrows, only to see her mother-in-law put the wooden bucket rag on the ground, and then pointed to the well in the courtyard against the courtyard wall. "If you fetch water, you will draw it from the well, and today it is to wash the dust of the ancestors and ancestors, but you can't be sloppy, so you have to let the girl do it herself. ”

After the mother-in-law finished speaking, Gu Anning had no choice but to nod yes, and left after a while.

He came from the chanting, just let her clean the entire ancestral hall, if it was just this, she didn't feel anything, the blame was on the second lady's mind.

"Mother-in-law Ling, why did you lock the courtyard door, my girl is still inside!"

Now that the mother-in-law who was guarding the ancestral hall came out and pushed the door up and locked it, she was about to scramble for the key.

The mother-in-law took the key in her hand and said in a displeased voice. "You girl, why don't you know the rules so much. ”

"Mother-in-law..."Qing Glaze frowned, as soon as the door was closed, wouldn't the girl be alone inside, but she couldn't listen to any order, the door of the ancestral hall was spacious and heavy, and she had to talk through the door to alarm many people.

Ling mother-in-law snorted coldly and said with an old face. "This is what the Gu family girl should do. It is also the duty to enter the ancestral hall to recite sutras and clean, and it is also a rule not to eat for three to five days when you enter the ancestral hall. ”

The mother-in-law said that she was about to leave, but was blocked by the green glaze. "Mother-in-law. Why can't you eat for three or five days, aren't you going to open the door again when you lock the girl inside?"

As soon as she finished saying this, Ling's mother-in-law didn't pay attention to her, shook off her hand and left, and was stunned for a while, then she went to the door and patted the door.

"Whoever is outside, come in. Gu Anning walked over. At present, there are only those in the corridor and the inside of the ancestral hall, and it is a little dim, and the courtyard of the ancestral hall covers half of it.

Listening to the faint sound of knocking on the door, I heard the voice of the green glaze, and hurriedly said. "Qing glaze, why are you still outside, such a knock on the door will definitely alarm people, if it reaches the ears of the old lady, it is not good, you go back first. ”

Soft-spoken words. How could Qing Glaze hear it outside, and seeing that there was no movement, Qing Glaze had to go back to the South Courtyard first.

Gu Anning was busy until noon, although it was the middle of the day, there was some shade in this ancestral hall.

After cleaning up the dust, it was already late afternoon, and there was a burst of sound in the stomach, and no one was sent food from outside.

It wasn't until the night that he heard a knock on the door, Gu Anning pursed his lips and passed weakly. I tried to pull the latch of the door, but I couldn't pull the door, and the inside was not latched.

Then stick to the doorway. "Who's out there?"

"Girl, girl, it's a slave. Green glaze. Qing Glaze held the basket in his hand, glanced around, but didn't look at the place where he could hand food in, and couldn't help but be anxious. "Girl, this door was locked by the mother-in-law early in the morning, saying that it was for the girl to chant in the ancestral hall and not eat for three or five days. The slave and maid wanted to bring food in, but they didn't know what to do. ”

Hearing this, Gu Anning frowned unconsciously, leaned against the door weakly, and said half-loudly. "I know, you can go back!"

"Girl... If you don't eat for three or five days, you can't stand it, and the slave and maid go and beg the lady. After that, Qing Glaze went back with the basket, and it had been a whole day, and the girl had not eaten since she was hungry, and her chest was pressed against her back.

When there was no movement outside the door, Gu Anning touched his shriveled stomach, and there was a cooing sound, and he went into the ancestral hall again, took a fire fold and lit a candle, and then took the scriptures and read them silently word by word.

After the green glaze returned to the courtyard, the people in the courtyard greeted them one by one. "Green glaze, eat..."

Qingzhu saw the basket in her hand and lifted the cover to take a look, and everything was taken back intact. "Why can't you eat for three or five days, where is this chanting, it is clear that you want to starve the girl, even if you are punished to go to the ancestral hall to kneel to the ancestors, there is still someone who can send food in, when to come to the rules!"

Seeing Qingzhu's indignant appearance, Qingxiang originally planned to beg the second lady, but after thinking about it, he couldn't, so it was better to go to the east courtyard to find the third lady.

Then he stuffed the basket into Qingzhu's hand. "I'll go to the East Courtyard for a walk, and you don't mess around. With that, the man hurried out.

Qingzhu sighed and didn't stop anyone, and stomped his feet on the spot in a hurry, not having a good airway. "Stop here, what are you going to do!"

The third lady only heard yesterday that Gu Anning and Young Master Jiang went out to play together, but she didn't hear about Gu Anning early this morning, this jade mother has a heart, and her wife finally has a child in her belly, so she can raise the baby with peace of mind without taking care of the affairs in the house.

Especially for several months, the last time the ninth girl was sick, Mrs. should have gone for a trip, and this trip was frightening.

Mother Yu selfishly made the maids in the yard not talk much, which will come over with red eyes, and said distressedly. "Girl, what's wrong with you?"

"Mother Yu, my girl is locked up in the ancestral hall, and I ask you to go in and inform the third lady, now she has not eaten for a whole day, saying that she is not allowed to eat for three or five days, how can the girl stand it if she is weak. The man choked up as he spoke.

Mother Yu heard this, thought about it, and said with a smile. "Girl, don't cry yet, I'll go in and report to Madame. He hesitated for a moment, and then went inside.

After going in to report it, the third lady couldn't help but blame when she heard this. "Why didn't you say this earlier? ”

"How could the old slave say earlier, the matter of the nine girls going to the ancestral hall was explained by the second lady, and it was also the matter of the old lady mentioning the ancestral hall yesterday, and the second lady ordered the nine girls to go over, who knows what the calculation of the southern courtyard is, and the old slave selfishly does not want the lady to interfere in this matter. ”

Mother Yu's words were straightforward, even if the third lady wanted to blame again, she accepted it. (To be continued.) )
