The Zhou sisters each had a bowl of rock sugar, peach gum, and snow lotus seeds in front of them. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

This snow lotus seed was eaten by Zhou Yanan in the Queen Mother's Cining Palace a few days before returning home, it is thick and smooth, and the taste is similar to a thicker white fungus soup, which is the best dessert Zhou Yanan has eaten so far.

She coquettishly told the Queen Mother on the spot and asked for advice on how to do this snow lotus seed.

The Queen Mother called someone to invite Concubine Zhang Shun over, and it turned out that Concubine Zhang Shun was filial piety.

Concubine Zhang Shun was very happy, thinking that she had finally made the right fart this time. After coming over, I found out that it was Zhou Yanan who asked, and I was dumbfounded.

She reluctantly said: "Four coins of snow lotus seeds, two coins of peach gum, cold water is not over, soak for three hours, add two liters of water and four coins of wolfberries, simmer for an hour, and add a piece of rock sugar." ”

Zhou Yanan asked her the cook of Qixiang Palace (when the Queen Mother went to invite Concubine Zhang Shun, Zhou Yanan called her cook): "What is this snow lotus seed?" Is it a snowdrop seed? ”

The cook couldn't answer.

The Queen Mother asked Concubine Zhang Shun.

Concubine Zhang Shun respectfully knelt down and replied: "This snow lotus seed is soaphorn rice." ”

The Queen Mother was very dissatisfied with her, but she didn't show anything on her face. After all, rock sugar peach gum snow lotus seeds and rock sugar peach gum soapcorn rice sound like a big difference.

She let Concubine Zhang Shun go and didn't reward her.

It took a long time for Concubine Zhang Shun to figure it out, and she was shocked into a cold sweat: she was yin by Zhou Yanan, and personally admitted that she had deceived the Queen Mother and said that the soaphorn rice was a snow lotus seed. The Queen Mother must have had a worse impression of her.

This is even more uncomfortable than Zhou Yanan directly scolding her!

The Queen Mother Zhou Hui has always been angry with Concubine Zhang Shun. Concubine Zhang Shun never knew that when her aunt Ling Yuyunying, the eldest princess of Shengping, was not married to Zhou Hui, she was quite at odds with Zhou Hui. Ling Yu didn't like her brother-in-law, so she instigated the queen at the time (that is, Ling Yu's mother) to punish Zhou Hui. For this reason, Zhou Hui lost a baby girl who had become a shape. The queen also blamed Zhou Hui for not having the ability to keep her child, and limited her to copy the "Female Commandment" forty times within three days.

After the death of the first emperor, Ling Yu lost his asylum. The Queen Mother Zhou Hui is not easy to step on her openly. However, for Concubine Zhang Shun, there will be no good face to see.

Zhou Yanan didn't know how much shadow her unintentional actions had added to Concubine Zhang Shun's heart. Concubine Zhang Shun felt that it was Zhou Yanan who cheated her. As everyone knows, if she hadn't done a face-saving project and served the Queen Mother honestly, she would not have been exposed by Zhou Yanan on the spot.

During her filial piety, she had to eat some coarse tea and light rice every day, which was really gluttonous. When there was no one in the middle of the night, she called the small kitchen to open a gang, and she ate secretly with Sister Last.

Zhou Yanan is greedy for cold and eats chilled snow lotus seeds. I was afraid that Sister Last would not be able to stand it, so she soaked it in the newly drawn well water and gave her food again.

They already knew about it from Lou Wangshu. After Mrs. Zhou received the funeral report, she planned to set off from the ancestral house in three days. The Zhou sisters obviously couldn't understand her approach, but Lou Wangshu saw it through: "In my opinion, she wants to put the Zhou family's eldest grandmother on the shelf." ”

The Zhou sisters were dumbfounded. Even the shelves don't do it that way.

Of course, there are many benefits to this. Mrs. Zhou rushed over, it will take five days, and Zhou Yanan still has eight days to live a clean life. If my grandmother comes, and I want to talk to Sister last at night, it won't be possible.

Sister last is obviously very dissatisfied with Lou Wangshu's work.

Zhou Yanan also felt that Lou Wangshu missed the point.

Mrs. Zhou was eccentric to the four rooms, so she let her be eccentric. Sanfang doesn't care about this money. Now it is the key to make Mrs. Zhou treat the Zhang family better.

Of course, Sanfang doesn't care about money is Zhou Yanan's personal idea. Zhou Yanan himself is very rich, but no one else in the third room knows. Sister last doesn't care much about whether Mrs. Zhou is partial or not, but because she doesn't have any concept of money now.

Lou Wangshu asked: "Then I'll make up a dream for her tonight, just say that after she was old and sick, she was abandoned by several other rooms, and only the daughter-in-law of the third room did not dislike her and took good care of her." What do you think? ”

Seeing that the Zhou sisters didn't speak, she said with a sad face: "The old man has a sleep disorder and has little time to sleep. It's not that you don't know that sleep is a cycle, a cycle. Each cycle, only REM sleep has dreams to have. I'm going to sneak into her dreams at least five times a night, and I'm going to make her remember what she's dreaming......"

The Zhou sisters couldn't understand what she was saying at all, and they all ignored her.

Zhou Yanan said: "This is still problematic. We don't know what the character of the grandmother was. If she's the kind of person who knows how to repay her kindness, then this can still be operated. I'm afraid that she is a bully who is afraid of the soft and the hard, and when she knows that her mother is soft, she will practice it to death. In this way, the mother's life will be even more difficult. ”

Sister last listened and waved her hand: "That's it!" That's it! Sister Wangshu still don't go these days. I'll talk about it when my grandmother comes. ”

Lou Wangshu said: "There is a school of thought in psychology called psychoanalysis, which specializes in dreams and the subconscious. It's complicated. I don't believe that a dream can change a person's personality. ”

At this time, Huizhen was holding a black gold stone tea tray with two cups of tea on it, and came in: "Lord Shizhong, Third Miss." Tonight's moon is good! I'm afraid it will be round in a few days. ”

The Zhou sisters hurried out to see, and sure enough, there was no dust in the night, and the moonlight was like silver. Zhou Yanan sighed: "Such a good moonlight should be drunk with osmanthus wine." That's the life of the gods! ”

Sister last said: "Now the osmanthus has not bloomed!" Jasmine is good. She raised a jasmine plant, and soon after it bloomed, she threaded the jasmine flowers one by one with a needle, strung them into a bracelet, and gave them to her mother.

Lou Wangshu slandered, and the two girls who were not in time for the end actually discussed drinking. It's crazy.

Zhou Yanan asked Sister Last: "In a few days, it will be the Midyear Festival." I'm going out to hunt ghosts at night, do you want to come with me?"

Sister Yan shook her head: "No, I'm not going." ”

Zhou Yanan thought that she was afraid that Zhang's would worry, so she stayed at home. I thought, that's just it. She originally thought that she was not good at killing ghosts, and Sister Last was not good at besieging ghosts, and the two could join forces to attack and defend, and she was not afraid of encountering evil ghosts. However, since Sister Last has her own plans, she is no longer reluctant. Anyway, she still has the power to protect herself.

All the days of sacrifice related to the deceased, such as Qingming and October 10, have a bit of a bleak scene. Only this mid-year festival is with some festive colors. It is about the time when Nakagen handed over the meeting date of the Bon Festival. Yulan, Sanskrit for Ulan Bona, means "to save the upside down", it means that the pain of life is like a bat hanging upside down on the tree, hanging, miserable. On this day, the monks worship the Buddha and relieve the suffering of the soul of the dead, which should be celebrated by the whole world.

These are naturally what Lou Wangshu said. The Zhou sisters had never heard of it and listened to it with relish. In Zhou Yanan's era, the monks and Taoists declined, but Wu became the spiritual leader of the people, faintly opposed to the imperial power. At least, Zhou Yanan had never seen a bald monk or nun, nor had he seen a legendary Taoist priest.

Lou Wangshu felt that it was very strange that there were Wu and the emperor at the same time. After all, the emperor is the Son of Heaven. Literally, he is the spokesman of the gods on earth. So what does it have to do with witches?

Zhou Yanan was not interested in what she said. They knew that the Midyear Festival was set up for those who had fallen beyond the Netherworld. has its own witch to transcend, even Zhou Yanan can easily separate the two worlds of yin and yang, and extradite the undead, what does it have to do with the great monk or the like? People still live the Midyear Festival, but they have forgotten the origin of the Midyear Festival.

Zhou Yanan still remembers that the Midyear Festival has always been very lively. The palace people will roll incense sticks with yellow mounted paper and tie them between the artemisia leaves. And he put the artemisia rods in various places. Fresh lotus leaf stalks are also used to insert small candles on bamboo skewers. There were also hollowed-out lotus pods, and watermelons with carved skin, all with small candles. These things are placed in the courtyard, and once it is night, the courtyard is suddenly lit up with thousands of stars. A bright moon came out of the sky, up and down.

The night walk of a hundred ghosts on the Midyear Festival is a good point. Zhou Yanan can also catch some outside his house. If she hadn't been able to leave the palace at night, she would have wanted to go to the river to have a look. It is said that people usually put some candle-lit lamps in the river. If a lamp sinks, it means that a lonely ghost has been reincarnated.

Zhou Yanan also thought about why the small river lantern has such an incredible function. Later she figured it out for herself. When people put river lanterns, they will sincerely wish the lonely souls and wild ghosts to pass away. The power of this blessing is very powerful, especially on a special day like the Midyear Festival.

Of course, Lou Wangshu also has a chance to get out of the suffering, but she doesn't want to.

If Zhou Yanan has the opportunity to go to the river, he can see many ghosts competing for the river lanterns. After all, most ghosts are not as perverted as Lou Wangshu, and they still hope to get rid of their karma as soon as possible, and even reincarnate as a new person.

For Lou Wangshu's matter, Sister Yan also secretly pinched a ghost avoidance cover, sat side by side with Zhou Yanan, pretended to look at the jewelry and clothes brought by Huizhen, and secretly communicated with her heart, that is, she didn't make a sound, didn't move her mouth, and printed it directly into the other party's mind: "Sister, what do you think of Lou Wangshu?"

"I think she's a good ghost."

"I don't think so, she has strong mana, and she is also an existence that should not be underestimated in ghosts. She's too obsessed, and I don't think it's a good thing. Zhou Yalast's tone was very worried.

"There's a point in what you're saying. But you forget, she's my friend. I'm definitely going to help her. Her hatred is also my hatred. ”

"Yes, she's your friend now. But how do you know that the enemies she's looking for aren't your friends or relatives? Rather than having to choose between her and one of your loved ones in the future, it's better not to get too close to her now. ”

Zhou Yanan said perfunctorily: "There is no such coincidence. Besides, the people I know basically don't look like bad people, and they don't have particularly bad luck, and they look like people who owe someone else in a previous life. ”

"But, how do you know that Lou Wangshu is not unlucky because she did something bad in her previous life? So that the retribution is not happy? ”

Zhou Yanan admits that it is possible. In order to reassure Sister Last, she will no longer tell Lou Wangshu everything in the future.

In fact, Sister Last's vision of Lou Wangshu is still very accurate. Later, Lou Wangshu really got into big trouble.

The two sisters were "talking", and suddenly Zhou Yanan's face changed, "Wow! With a thud, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Zhou Yalast panicked.
