048 Bring in 'Pingguo'

The first day of the first month is called New Year's Day, the first month of Mengxia is the first month, and the new day of each month is Dan.

Since the human race in heaven and earth set the first day of the new moon as New Year's Day, the human race has a new year and an old year, the old year is the reason, the new year is the beginning, meaning that the day when the heaven and earth appear, there is a new life.

Therefore, every New Year, people must celebrate, and there is a saying of 'New Year'.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, it is not allowed to sprinkle and sweep, not to wash, not to descale, not to clean the dirt, and not to go out.

Shut the door and just stay at home and play with your family.

Of course, the rules are not so strict, books are dead and people are alive, not to mention that books are also written by people, do you really want to follow the books, and don't suffocate yourself?

At least on the first day of the Lunar New Year of the Great Jin Dynasty, people can still go out for a walk. Of course, you can't go out to visit relatives, but it's okay to come and go...... Including large families with many rules, they have to hand over a prayer post when they visit on weekdays, but this day is very casual.

Because of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the courtyards of each house were quiet in the early morning of this day, and the masters slept soundly, except for the housekeepers and cooks who watched the house, the rest of the people also slept until three poles before getting up.

At the beginning of the summer, she slept until the end of the three o'clock and woke up, and she could sleep like this all year round.

She stretched out her hand in a daze, and pulled out three large red seals from under the pillow.

Grandparents and grandmothers have ten taels, fathers and mothers have five taels, and finally uncles and aunts have five taels.

Twenty taels of silver tickets.

These red envelopes, commonly known as New Year's money, were prepared early and sent to someone, and they were stuffed under the pillow while she was sleeping.

There are such small silver bills in the bank, and I heard that there are even smaller denominations, one or two or two. These are only offered to people in exchange for the Chinese New Year, which means similar to 'happy money', but it can really be used as silver.

Hearing the movement, Bichen opened the curtain and walked in from the outside, holding a basin of water in his hand, and stepped forward to serve Xia Chu to wash, and then called the little maid Pingguo to come in and bring it out.

In addition to the nurse and the big girl in her house, there are only four maids and two rough mothers-in-law, Taoer Xinger is second-class, the last time I went to Tantuo Temple to bring Taoer, Tangerine Pingguo is a little girl, only do some rough work, usually do not enter the house, today is because Taoer Xinger accompanied her to keep vigil last night, this will have been rested, so Pingguo came in.

Thinking of Pingguo, Xia Chu couldn't help but think of a joke made by Xia Bangqiu.

It was when I came to 'borrow' the money from her, although it didn't work out, but I sat in her room for a while, and ate snacks.

The food in her house has always been fresh and varied, and most of it was sent by her grandfather's family. At that time, Luo Ziqian was just an old lady in her eyes, and she was the most upright, and she was never greedy for the fresh food sent by her daughter-in-law's mother. Those baskets of melons and fruit snacks were packed almost as they were in the second room.

Seeing this, the Zheng family was naturally embarrassed to eat alone, so they each wrapped a bag and sent some to each master's room.

There is a way to satisfy cravings, but to manage enough food, it is still the most here at the beginning of summer.

Her reputation for delicious food also fell because of these.

Xia Bangqiu was enjoying eating at that time, and Xia Chu also went with her, and she was not stingy about it, but it happened that a girl outside said a few words, but she heard it, and asked what was going on.

It was Xing'er who came into the house and replied: "Miss, it was the Changping family who sent Pingguo." ”

Changping's family is Pingguo's mother, the day before yesterday, Pingguo took turns off, and the family went back at this time.

At that time, Xia Bangqiu's eyes lit up, and she pulled her face full of surprise and said, "Sister, you still have apples here?" Let the maid take it in and take a look! ”

Take it in and take a look!

Xia Chu snorted and laughed, and when he saw that Xia Wanqiu was still inexplicable, he asked Xing'er to quickly 'take' Pingguo in.

Although Pingguo is a little girl, she is older than Xing'er, and when she enters the house, she knelt down and cried vigorously.

She heard it outside, and the girls were going to 'take' her, and they thought they had done something wrong, and didn't that make her cry?

"Who are you? What are you crying about when you run in? ”

"Slaves, slaves and maids are Pingguo, didn't the girl let me in?" Pingguo sobbed and choked. "I wonder what the slave has done? If...... If it's really the slave who did something wrong, the slave and the slave admit it......"

Xia Bangqiu was stunned, and after a while, he came back to his senses, and then knew that he had made a joke again...... It's not the first time she has done such a thing, and her cheekiness has also been practiced, so she coaxed people with words: "Don't cry, I'm playing with my third sister, I don't really want to take you, you go down!" ”

That's it.

This also coaxed the girls, and Xia Chu didn't believe a word.

She could see at a glance that Xia Bangqiu was clearly taking 'Pingguo' as something to eat!

If it was someone else, it would be fine, but the name Pingguo was obtained by himself at the beginning of the summer.

Pingguo and Tangerine Guo entered the house when she was six years old, and because they were bought by the whole family, several girls were sent to the girls. Because of the young age of her daughter, Zheng specially chose two older ones for her who would take care of people.

Most of these people who sell their own homes are poor people who can't survive, and the names of the children in the family are all big girls and two girls all the way, so they naturally have to change. Zheng hugged her daughter and teased her and asked her to name the two new girls.

At the beginning of the summer, when he was eating oranges, he pointed to one of the jue orange fruits, and the other remembered a matching one, which was called Pingguo.

Zheng was curious and asked her, "What kind of fruit is Pingguo?" ”

As soon as these words came out, could Xia Chu, a house fighting expert in his bones, still not understand? The Great Jin Dynasty did not have such a fruit as Pingguo!

She immediately pretended to be stupid and confused, and only said that she had obtained it by calling it smooth.

And Xia Bangqiu must know what Pingguo is.

She could have seen her smack her lips!

It was then that she confirmed her suspicions about Xia Bangqiu.

How can anyone fall and not even know the name of the maid in his sister's house? Although she is the cousin in the next room, the two families have always lived together, and they have played together since they were children.

Back then, that 'Xia Bangqiu' personally praised Pingguo's name interestingly!

Besides, she doesn't remember it at all!

Can she remember the peaches, apricots, and oranges, but not the Pingguo?

I've always thought she was weird, and everyone in the family knew her, but she forgot a lot of rules. Let's say that she is Xia Bangqiu, her temper is too different, let's say she is not, she can tell everything she did when she was a child.

After she recognized Luo Ziqian, she realized that it was not necessary that she didn't remember anything if she borrowed the corpse to return her soul!

Just like Luo Ziqian, after she woke up, she had Liu's memory, and even the things when she was a child were clear!
