In a blink of an eye, it was the fifth day of the first month, which is what everyone said. The reason why the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info is called breaking five is because there are many taboos before the fifth day of the new year, and they can be broken on this day. The habit of the Celestial Empire is to eat "dumplings" for five days, and the people of Chang'an City call this "boiled dumplings".

But the rich may eat for five days, and the poor may eat for only three or two days, and some eat every other day, but there is no one who does not eat. From the prince's mansion to the small households in the streets, even the hospitality. On the day of the fifth day of the break, the women no longer taboo the door, and began to visit each other to pay New Year's greetings and congratulate each other. The newlywed woman returns to Ning on this day.

It is not advisable to do things on this day, otherwise it will be ruined this year. In addition to the above taboos, the customs of breaking the five are mainly to send the poor, welcome the God of Wealth, and open the market for trade. So today's four streets and four alleys are quite lively, during the Spring Festival, large and small shops are closed from the beginning of the new year, and the market opens on the fifth day of the first month. It is customary to take the fifth day of the first month as the sacred day of wealth, and it is believed that choosing this day to open the market will definitely attract wealth and treasure.

Those who do big business must also "catch up with the five poor" on the day of breaking the five, and the so-called five poor are: intellectual poverty, academic poverty, literary poverty, life poverty, and friendship poverty. The five poors that Li Xiaoyu heard about in her previous life were seen from Han Yu's "Sending the Poor", but she didn't know what these five poors were. However, seeing that all the shops in these four streets and alleys have officially launched the "Send Five Poor" activity, their stores naturally cannot be left behind.

The old class owner took the men, women and children of the troupe and began to help Li Xiaoyu clean the store and courtyard. Then everyone swept the filthy soil in the house into the bag behind Sweeping Qingniang, happily sent it out of the door, lit a large firecracker, and the front of the door was full of dust.

"Alas, sending "poor land" every year is finally coming to an end this year! The old class leader looked at the group of elated young people, but he was in tears.

Ke Ruixiang limped in front of Li Xiaoyu at this time, "Miss, yesterday, the old man Li looked for me alone." ”

"Huh? He's coming for you? That old man, he can't be trying to buy you, is he?"

"Give me a hundred taels of silver so that I can talk less when we meet next time." Ke Ruixiang shook his head helplessly.

Li Xiaoyu stretched, squinted his eyes and whispered, "Did you confiscate it?" Looking at Li Xiaoyu's evil smile, Ke Ruixiang also forced a smile and said, "Of course I accepted it, not only did I accept it, but I also asked him for two hundred taels." Ke Ruixiang brought out a small box, Li Xiaoyu slowly opened it, and sure enough, it was full of silver.

"This old guy is really willing to spend money, since you give it to you, you can take it, and see you again and spend a hundred taels on the account to supplement the family."

"Miss, this can't be done!" To tell the truth, Ke Ruixiang has never seen so much money in his life, and when he was in Hanlin Academy, he only added up to eight taels of silver a month, if he didn't understand Li Xiaoyu's temperament, he wouldn't dare to accept this money.

"If you want to take it, you are the big shopkeeper in my store."

Ke Ruixiang nodded embarrassedly as he spoke, but he immediately said, "Miss, you said that I should go and buy some rare grains to try planting in the tribute field we allocated, and I went to Z County to recover three hundred catties of black rice, and I will find someone to sow it in the spring." ”

"Black rice? Oh? Let's talk about this matter at the beginning of spring, the big things of the day after tomorrow must be done well, and there must be no mistakes in those leathers and grains! ”

"You can rest assured, just the carriage and ox cart, I hired a full hundred vehicles, took the goods, and transported them directly to the Hubu warehouse, along the way it was King Kang's people to look at us, and called more than three hundred people inside and out, there will be no problems." Ke Ruixiang's eyes were shining, and he was obviously very confident in his plan.

Since the most worrying thing has been settled, Li Xiaoyu is naturally in a good mood, called over to Ami, let him hold the box, and shouted to the group of people who were making trouble at the gate, "On the first day of opening, it's almost enough to clean up, and I'll give you a red envelope." ”

As soon as they heard that Li Xiaoyu was going to give out red envelopes, the people in the troupe were excited, but the old class leader stopped them, and his expression was extremely serious.

"What is this for? Wasn't the reward given in the palace a few days ago enough? Do you want the master to break the bank? ”

"Master Maban, you can't say that, I also took the reward, this red envelope is our heart, you take these thirty taels to buy some belongings for the boys and girls, although the big yard in front of the fourth street is done, but the house is empty now, you can't sleep on the ground, right?" As she spoke, she took out six ingots from the box and handed them to the old master.

At this time, the old class master's hands were shaking, looking at him like this, Li Xiaoyu smiled with satisfaction in his heart.

At this time, in the corner on the other side of the fourth street, a ragged beggar slowly appeared, taking advantage of the crowd to suddenly get into the crowd and rush into the house.

"The son of a bitch raised it, just after catching up with the five poor, how can this get in and find bad luck? I'm going to have to take off one of your legs! "The old class master is superstitious about this ghostly power, and they finally drove out the "five poor" after tossing all morning, but there is such a thing that is not long-sighted. The beggars and ruffians in the four streets and alleys all knew that on the day of breaking five, the merchants' shops were the most taboo.6 They came to the shops to beg for food.

When Ma Dazhuang heard his father say this, he picked up a bench and smashed it called Hanako, and when there was a loud bang, the bench smashed on the beggar's back and fell to the ground, causing Hanako to tremble and get under the table.

Although Li Xiaoyu is not so superstitious, she is also a little tired of this kind of thing. Ke Ruixiang saw that the appearance of the flower child was tight, this person was wearing the robe of the Hanlin Academy, and that appearance made him feel a little familiar.

"Stop fighting, stop fighting, you... Be... Well-being? After Ke Ruixiang approached, he recognized this person at a glance.

"Brother Ke, I'm here to find you, I know who killed my grandfather." An Kang's eyes were bloodshot, and he was unkempt at this time, and he inevitably spoke with a kind of gasp.

"Xiao An, don't worry, there is something, you say it slowly." After going through so many things, Ke Ruixiang has already looked down on many things, and his expression is very indifferent at this time, but he is still very happy when he thinks that Xiao An can prove his innocence.

An Kang slowly got out from under the table, just in time to see Ke Ruixiang's crutches in his right hand, "Senior brother, your legs?" ”

"Don't mention it, you go take a shower first."

Ankang's neck stalked, "My grandfather is.... was killed by Lei Shaohui, after you put the letter in Senior Brother Dong's house, Lei Shaohui's servants stole the letter, and when the Criminal Department came to search, the people under his father's hand naturally found the letter in my grandfather's room. ”

"How do you know that?" Li Xiaoyu walked over slowly and asked softly, she knew that although Ke Ruixiang was now showing an indifferent look, it was estimated that there was definitely mixed feelings in her heart, and she was extremely angry.

"This is what my grandfather told me before he died, he told me not to hate you, and not to hate Lei Shaohui."

"What?" Ke Ruixiang looked at An Kang with a dull gaze, the teacher knew that someone was harming him, why didn't he say it!
