There has always been a saying among the people: "Children, children, don't be greedy, come to Laba is the New Year." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" is to pass Laba, and the year is closer.

Lan Xin was thinking about her thoughts last night, and it was already late when she fell asleep. When Qinghe came in with water, Lan Xin hugged the quilt and sat on the bed with his eyes closed. Qinghe curled the corners of her mouth and looked at her funny.

"Girl, the slave will wipe your face. Qinghe twisted the veil and walked to the bed and whispered.

Lan Xin didn't squeak, and closed his eyes and took the handkerchief in Qinghe's hand. A warm handkerchief was applied to her face, and after three or four breaths, she was completely sober. Lifted the quilt, put on shoes and got out of bed, and brushed his teeth with the salt-stained willow branches handed over by Qinghe.

Ziyi had already found out the clothes that Lan Xin was going to wear today, and the jewelry was also sorted out, and saw Lan Xin brushing his teeth and walking over with his clothes in his hands. Lu Mei, who was cleaning the outer room, glanced at Lan Xin and Ziyi in front of the dresser, and then glanced at Qinghe who was making the bed. Lowering her eyes and hiding the look in her eyes, she seemed to understand that something was wrong. In the past two months, everyone has been amiable on the surface, but she has never been in contact with the things in the inner room.

Today is Laba, and according to custom, it is customary to sacrifice to the god of the door. Mrs. Zhou was tired yesterday, and she drank too much at night, so the little maid came to say early in the morning that the old man would not go to worship the door god.

Early in the morning, Zhou Dahai and Liu took their two daughters and two sons to worship the door god with a family of six. Because the second and third rooms have their own houses, they didn't come to worship the door god together. After worshipping the door god, Liu commanded the maid to deliver Laba porridge to several nearby neighbors. This is a custom of the Laba Festival, after the sacrifice to the door god, leave the porridge eaten by your family, and distribute the remaining Laba porridge to friends and neighbors.

When Lan Xin was young, she looked forward to the Laba Festival the most, because on the morning of the Laba Festival, Aunt Yuzhi would boil a pot of thick Laba porridge and secretly add a spoonful of sugar to Lan Xin's porridge. After drinking the porridge, Aunt Yuzhi will take her to feed the chickens, ducks and geese raised at home with the leftover porridge. After receiving the laba porridge sent by the Rong family, the Liu family remembered to send one to the Rong family.

Everything was cleaned up, and the little maid came to spread the word that the old lady had woken up. The group came to the old lady's courtyard and sat around to drink laba porridge. The family was so happy that after drinking the porridge, they talked with the old lady for a while, and then they went about their own business.

Evian is a simple-minded person, and her thoughts are reflected in her face. Maybe it's because I did too much yesterday, and I'm a little embarrassed after seeing Lan Xin today.

Lan Xin looked at the person who followed him, didn't step forward or spoke, but kept secretly looking at you was very funny. She pursed her lips and said, "If the third sister goes back to the house, if it's okay, come and sit in my room." ”

Evian raised his eyes to look at Lan Xin, and after rolling his eyes a few times, he nodded. Before the two of them had taken a few steps, the little girl panted and ran over to report: "Third girl, the second girl is waiting for you in the house, and she also brought you the eight treasure cakes and eight treasure candy from 'Eight Treasure Zhai', so that you can go back quickly." ”

"Oh, really?" asked Evian in surprise.

Seeing the little girl nodding vigorously, Evian said with a smile: "Eldest sister, I won't go to your house, I'll go back first." Before Lan Xin could speak, he hurried away with the maid.

Looking at the hurried backs of several people, Lan Xin shook his head helplessly. Then he snorted coldly: Yuxue and the third aunt are really calculating, and they actually hit Evian with their ideas. The eight treasure candy and eight treasure cakes of "Eight Treasure Zhai" are the signature of the store, and although they are not as difficult to buy as the signature dim sum in "Shiwei Zhai", it is also difficult to buy these two freshly baked dim sum. As we all know, Evian likes these two kinds of snacks the most.

Lan Xin scoffed at their unprofitable behavior, if they told themselves generously, they would not be so unsympathetic, after all, they were all their own sisters, and it was not impossible to take her to Rongfu to participate in the plum blossom banquet. But they just had to go around and around, putting on a high look. It's like everyone else is stupid, and they're the only ones who are smart.

Thinking of Evian's gluttonous look, Lan Xin shook his head helplessly, feeling a wave of weakness.

After Lan Xin returned to the yard, he saw Ziyi directing the little maids to clean up the yard, "You two move that one out of the way, sweep the dust underneath and put the things back." Be careful not to hurt yourself. With the orderly command of the purple clothes, the little maids did the work in their hands with their hands and feet, although everyone was walking around, but the scene was not chaotic.

"Girl. Seeing Lan Xin coming back, Ziyi came over to salute, and the little maid also put down the things in her hand and saluted.

"Well, you're busy. After Lan Xin entered the house, the little maids continued their work.

Lumei took off the cloak for Lan Xin, and picked up her homemade clothes to change into for her. Qinghe walked in with a teapot, glanced at the homely clothes in Lumei's hand and reminded: "Girl, the people in the 'Splendid Fang' should have sent the clothes before noon." ”

The people in the "Splendid Workshop" are rigorous, even though they have measured the size before, they will still send the clothes over early, and if the master is not satisfied, they can modify them in time. "Splendid Fang" can be sought after by so many people, in addition to the fashionable style of clothes, excellent embroidery, that is, they have a shrewd and capable steward. Steward Yang is good at observing words and feelings, and her words and deeds make people feel ironed, and she often goes in and out of various mansions, which makes everyone even more afraid to slack off on her, after all, no one wants to publicize the ugliness of the family, and the richer the family, the more they love face.

Qinghe intended to remind Lan Xin that if he changed into home clothes now, the people from "Splendid Fang" would come after a while, and they would have to change again. It doesn't matter if the people in the "Splendid Fang" wait for a while. It's just that this dress was given to Miss by Mrs. Rong, and Rong Mansion will definitely send someone here, if the people of Rong Mansion think too much, it will not be good to have a misunderstanding with the girl.

Lan Xin didn't think as much as Qinghe thought, and she didn't think about changing it, she felt that it was a little troublesome to change it back and forth, so she nodded at Lumei and signaled her not to change her home clothes. Sitting on the chair, he took the tea handed over by Qinghe, took a sip gently, and the two of them spoke in a low voice.

Lumei silently put her clothes back in place, her eyes were a little dry, and she felt an indescribable grievance in her heart. Hearing Qinghe's cheerful voice, I had a trace of resentment towards Qinghe in my heart, if it wasn't for her talking, how could there be so many things?

Ziyi came in and said, "Girl, Mother Du is here." ”

"Why is Mother Du here?" Lan Xin asked in surprise as she put down her teacup.
