It indicates that the yang energy is rising, the yin is full of yang, and the days are getting longer.

On this year's winter solstice, there was a rare sunny and good weather.

The evening before, the glow was shining in the western sky, as if to celebrate the holiday, and the clouds disappeared and the sun reappeared.

Since the Han Dynasty, the winter solstice has been an official festival, and the government has a five-day holiday every year to worship ancestors, meet parents, and visit relatives and friends to congratulate each other on the winter solstice.

This Winter Solstice Festival, Xuzhou Mansion held a five-day banquet in a row.

On the first day, that is, the winter solstice, a congratulatory ceremony was held by the General's Mansion, and a feast was set up, the next day to Xiao Taishou's Mansion, the third day, it was Shi Tan Yuan, the head of the General's Mansion, and the next day, a banquet was set up at Yu Peng's house, and the end of the year was ordered in the General's Mansion Lang Xiahou Xuan was located in Zhaodri's house.

In the early morning, the east is cloudy.

Huan Mansion quickly woke up in a hurry.

Zheng Sui was worried about something, and woke up a quarter of an hour earlier than usual, because she was pregnant after arriving in Xuzhou, and she has always said that she is quiet and safe, and she is not familiar with life, and rarely goes out to interact with people.

This is her first public appearance after coming to Xuzhou to attend a banquet.

The ceremony of 'He Dong' was prepared by Tan Yuan, the chief historian, and Xiahou Xuan, who was ordered by Lang Zhongling.

As for the banquet, as early as half a month ago, Tan Yuan allocated two staff members to her, plus Qi Xing and An Chang, the two people Qi Xing and An Chang selected by Qi Wu from Zhuangzi, and Shi Lan, Liu Yuan, Xin Yi, etc.

In the world, genealogy is particularly prosperous.

The practice of secrecy, especially family secrecy, is very popular in the world, and you need to pay special attention to it at banquets.

Zheng Sui had memorized all the genealogy of the officials above the fifth rank in Xuzhou County, and borrowed a housekeeper from Huan Yu who was familiar with the family affairs of these officials, and came to explain to her the population of each family and the appearance and temperament of some important family members, so that there would be no mistakes at the banquet.

The sheren sent by Huan Yu is named Xu Ying, who is only twelve years old.

Zheng Sui looked at Xu Ying, who had red lips and white teeth and a handsome face, and was very surprised, "You are the son of the Xu family in the East China Sea, why did you come out so young?" ”

The housekeeper of the General's Mansion is the same as the squire, many times, becoming a child of the family, the starting point of entering the official career, usually, the age is about fourteen or fifteen years old, not too big, for example: He Du, who came to Xuzhou with Zheng Ji last month, was only fourteen years old when he was a housekeeper in the General's Mansion.

He Du is from the He family of Lujiang and is the grandnephew of the seventh aunt.

Seeing that Xu Ying is proficient in general affairs, it is not like he is a newcomer to the mansion, so the age at which he will enter the general's mansion will only be younger.

Sure enough, I heard Xu Ying reply, "After Aya died, there are mothers and weak brothers and sisters who need some support. ”

"It's a pure filial child." Zheng Sui sighed, and then didn't ask any further, feeling a little regretful in his heart, and didn't pay attention to Huan Yu's words, only remembering that he said that he was going to send a housekeeper from the East China Sea Xu family.

Later, I asked Zheng Ji privately to understand.

It turned out that Xu Ying's father, and the former long history Shen Zhi had a lot of friendship, he was too punctual in Yangping County, quite famous, simple and simple, after his death, he had no long things, only a bed quilt was left, Shen Zhi in order to make the son of the famous father, not to suffer from the Lu support, therefore, regardless of Xu Ying was only eight years old, he was recruited for the post of the general's housekeeper.

Zheng Sui listened to him introduce the family population of the bureaucrats in Xuzhou Mansion, such as a number of family treasures, very clear, besides, he was articulate and had a clear voice, which made Zheng Sui like it more and more.

On the day of the winter solstice, he simply stayed with him.

"Madam, Lang Jun has already come."

Zheng Sui hummed softly, looked at the bronze mirror, and stretched out his hand to pluck the plum hairpin, "Two days ago, the workshop sent a box of glazed ornaments, I remember that there is a glazed moire hairpin, and I will wear that one today." ”

Zhong Nan was a little surprised, but she was still busy responding, she had already asked Zheng Sui for today's dressing last night.

Fortunately, she was in charge of these jewelry and clothes, and she quickly found them.

I took out the luodian pear flower box and put it on the dresser, the box has five layers, each layer is a good ornament, from the hairpin to the earrings, and then from the bracelet to the jade pendant, the lowest layer is finally opened, and the glass ornaments placed inside, the amber moire hairpin, are impressively in the column.

"It's all replaced, and the amber color looks calm." Zheng Sui said, and reached out to take off the moon white stone magnolia flower earrings, and the family members of the officials I saw today were at least one round older than her.

Zhong Nan hesitated slightly, but still replaced Zheng Sui with a pair of concubine-colored glazed bright moons,

Yuebai stone jewelry is popular in Jiankang City a few days ago, among which the earrings are the most expensive, it is said that wearing this earrings, under the light, can exude a blue halo like the moon, so that the price has climbed to the point of a pair of gold.

When Linru sent the winter solstice return gift, Xie sent a pair to Zheng Sui, which was this pair of magnolia earrings, but long before that, Huan Yu sent two pairs, but Zheng Sui only glanced at it at that time, and then finally put it away and pressed the bottom of the box.

When he left the inner room, except for the Xuanduan dress on his body, everything else was changed.

The curtains rolled up, as soon as Zheng Sui appeared, Huan Yu's eyes fell on her, and after looking at it for a long time, she looked away with some disappointment, "I saw that it was still early, so I let people pass on the morning food, after eating the breakfast food, it is estimated that Shu Lang and they have also arrived, and we will go to the statue hall together to worship." ”

Fengxiang Hall is a place in the General's Mansion for the portraits of Huanyu's parents, grandparents, great-grandparents and great-grandparents.

"Okay." Zheng Sui responded, she has not been hungry recently.

Shulang's daughter-in-law Jiang, when Zheng Sui arrived in Xuzhou, she met several times, and after she was diagnosed as pregnant, she took advantage of this reason to hand over the account books in the clan to her.

However, Zheng Sui didn't like her gaze very much, and she didn't like her to mention Li Xue often, so except for her coming to the door by herself, Zheng Sui did not invite her to the General's Mansion, because Huan Shu was transferred to Nanliang County some time ago, she wanted to come to the General's Mansion to live, but Zheng Sui did not let go, and still lived in the official residence area of Zhaodri in the city.

On weekdays, a slave will be sent over a little more frequently to deliver food, which can be regarded as care.

The atmosphere of the sacrifice is always solemn and solemn, and there is no room for neglect.

The group came out of Fengxiang Hall, Zheng Sui was more than three months pregnant, and it was very difficult for her to kneel and bow three times, because she didn't bring the servants in, and when she got up, it was the Jiang family who helped her.

"Auntie, why don't you see Mrs. Li today?"

As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere suddenly became tense, Zheng Sui let go of Jiang's hand, looked up and saw Huan Yu with an embarrassed face not far in front of him, and did not look away until Xin Yi and Zhong Nan stepped forward to help her.

"If you can't speak, shut up." Huan Shu stepped back, pulled Jiang aside, and reprimanded softly.

"It's not the first time, ...... before"

The latter words are about to let Huan Shu scare back. (To be continued.) )
