In Xiafu, Chanyi sat on the big kang near the window, flipping through the account book with one hand, and holding a brush in the other hand to remember the rice grain she had recently received.

Sure enough, as Zhang Shengquan said, the rice grain shops in Yunfu City do not have much grain in stock, and those big rice merchants may be in the tun grain because of the famine in the southeast, and they are unwilling to sell rice grain on a large scale, and they can't receive more rice grain in Yunfu City, Zhang Shengquan has been sent by her to Ningzhou and Yunzhou to collect rice grain.

It's been three or four days, and I don't know what the situation is on his side.

Jinping came in with some snacks and tea, and saw that Chanyi was still reading the account book carefully, and gently put the things on the table.

"Miss, you've read the account books for the morning, so take a sip of tea and take a break. ”

Chanyi didn't look up, and said "um" slightly, but turned the account book in her hand into a rattling sound, and finally finished reading the account book for a long time, put down the brush in her hand, pinched her sour wrist, and took a sip of the teacup.

"It's the second day of February tomorrow, are all the things in order?" Chan Yi asked Jinping.

Jinping hurriedly replied: "Don't worry, our family has a share in previous years, and this year with the preparation of the previous year's share, the slave and maid instructed the big kitchen to prepare more dumplings and wontons, and the japonica rice used tomorrow will be completed in the evening of the big kitchen." ”

After the second day of February, the New Year will be completely passed, and on the second day of February, there are many customs in Yunfu City, for example, "on the second day of February, according to the beams of the house, scorpions and centipedes have nowhere to hide"! On this day, the common people want to get rid of pests, light candles, and shine on the beams and walls of the house to get rid of scorpions and centipedes, and these insects fall down and are eliminated as soon as they see the light.

In the Xia family, it is necessary to eat dumplings, wontons and rice on this day, because there is a saying in Xinyang that eating dumplings is called eating "dragon ears", eating rice is called eating "dragon seeds", eating wontons is called eating "dragon teeth", and Mrs. Xia is from Xinyang, so this custom has been retained.

Chanyi nodded, drank the tea, and ordered: "There is another one, don't do needlework tomorrow, you let the maid at home don't have to move the needle tomorrow, and just take advantage of the festival to watch the dragon dance." ”

This is also one of the customs of February 2, women do not use needlework, in order not to hurt the dragon's eyes, there will be dragon dance juggling on the street, so it is very prosperous.

Jinping responded with a smile: "Where do you still need Miss's orders, those maids and maids in the needlework room will rush to work today to catch up with tomorrow's work, and tomorrow they will be busy worshipping the Bodhisattva." ”

Chanyi also smiled, in previous years, it was in the Chengbo Houfu to preside over the feed, which one of the busy ones must be taken into account, otherwise there will be mistakes, especially these festivals, although the mother-in-law Su is a shrewd, but not very good at managing the feed, Chengbo Houfu looks at the flowers, but there are too many places to use money, she often demolishes the east wall to make up the west wall, and uses her own dowry to subsidize the family, which makes the home better day by day.

And thinking of what happened after marrying into Cheng Bo Houfu, she was in a trance, since she met Jian Anjie that day, Su came to the door again, mentioning her marriage with Jian Anjie, although her grandmother did not agree, but there were faint signs of relaxation, so that she couldn't help but be a little irritable.

Chanyi inexplicably remembered the news she got from Shen Shuofeng these days, pursed her lips, and said softly to Jinping: "Let go of some rumors, just say that I will go to the Big Buddha Temple tomorrow to make incense, and the West Fengyuan will let people stare at it more, if Qiaolan goes to Baoxiangzhai again, the things in her hand will be dropped." ”

Jinping naturally knew the severity, and she was busy: "Jinxin has already started these days, and Qiao Lan can't escape her eyes anywhere." ”

Chanyi smiled slightly, that day she asked Shen Shuofeng to go to check privately, originally planned to check who was really doing the blame, but she didn't expect that Bao Xiangzhai would be the dowry shop of Mrs. Gu of Ningguo, which confirmed her guess, what is the noble prince and the prince, it was completely made up by Gu Manman to deceive Aunt Yan.

In fact, it's no wonder that Aunt Yan will take the bait, since Aunt Yan was locked up in Xifeng Yuan and couldn't move around, almost all the outside news relied on Chen's mother and Qiaolan, I think she also knew the relationship between the Gu family and the Wei family before, and the prince was also familiar with her, even if it was the current situation, but the Gu family has always been a hot minister of the Son of Heaven since the founding of the dynasty, unlike other nobles, it is naturally easy for her to coax Aunt Yan.

It's just that Gu Manman shouldn't have hit her with the idea, and he gave her many tricks, and bought off the killer, if her luck was worse, she was afraid that she would die directly in Guang'an Temple.

She couldn't be passive like this anymore, so this time she decided to take action.

"You tell Jinxin to be careful, Qiaolan don't startle the snake, I have my own arrangements. ”

Jinping said: "I have already explained Jinxin, she is also a clever person, since she knows the arrangement of the young lady, she will naturally not make her own opinions." ”

Chan Yi bowed her head slightly, Jinxin also worked as a messenger in Lanxin Courtyard for a few days, from the appearance, no one can see that Jinxin is a practitioner, plus Jinxin speaks and does things with a refreshing share, which can make people let down their guard against her, but Jinxin is thick but has thin strands, which is the most rare, usually talking and doing things without revealing it, to be a good hand at listening to news.

No matter what happens, as long as it is properly arranged and all aspects are arranged, there will be no big mistakes.

Chanyi looked out the window, the sky was blue like a piece of blue silk, which made people look at it and couldn't help but brighten up.

……

Early in the morning of the second day, Chanyi got up early in the morning and went to Fushoutang to greet Mrs. Xia.

Mrs. Xia has a rare good sleep these days, today is a little later than usual, Chanyi sat outside and waited for two teas, Mrs. Xia just got up, brushed her teeth and rinsed her mouth and cleaned her face, and used some honey water, cleaned up neatly, and then went out of the inner room in good spirits.

When Chanyi saw it, she hurriedly greeted her and said with a smile: "It's rare for grandmother to sleep peacefully these days." ”

Mrs. Xia sat on the kang with her support, and teased her: "You monkey, you are the latest to come on weekdays, and when you are about to go out, you will come early to trouble me!" said and scratched her nose, turned her head to Zhang's mother and said, "Go and bring a bowl of goat milk soup to the second lady," and turned to Chanyi and said, "Don't be too unpleasant, when your grandmother is as old as you, she has to drink two large bowls of goat milk a day, and she doesn't do as well as the house, and her grandmother can live for such a long time, all of which depend on the recuperation of her childhood." ”

Mrs. Xia told the truth, but it's a pity that something like that happened at home when she was young, and she suffered so much before she spoiled her body, and now it's easy to raise, Chanyi didn't dare to let her worry, took the goat's milk soup from Zhang's mother's hand, and drank it all with her neck up.

She smiled and said: "It's February 2 today, and our family has been enshrined in the Buddha statue invited back by the Big Buddha Temple, and we said earlier and later that our worship this year can't be left behind......

"It's also you, a little monkey, who wants to go out to play," Mrs. Xia glanced at her clearly, and saw that her beloved little granddaughter was shy, and asked with a smile: "There must be a sea of people in the Big Buddha Temple, and everyone is vying for a stick of incense on the top, let's not join in this excitement with them, and go to kowtow to the Buddha with sincerity, and bless our family with a smooth and smooth year." ”

Chanyi nodded and replied, "What grandmother said is that I wrote it down in the evening." ”

Old Madam Xia straightened her clothes and said softly: "Then go early and come back early, and bring more guards and maids." ”

Naturally, it was the newly invited nursing home, Chanyi smiled and nodded.
