Early the next morning, amid the roar of firecrackers, Rong Zheng opened his eyes. She thought about going to the upper room to say goodbye and go to each room to say hello. It was not easy for her to gain a good reputation of dignified and steady in front of her elders, but she didn't dare to slack off.

Zi Su and Zi Ying served her to comb her hair and change her clothes. Rong Zheng smiled and said to Zisu: "You can go out of the house in a while." What I would say on my wife's side is that it would be better to stay two more days. ”

Shiso was busy giving Rong Zheng gratitude. Rong Zheng let Ziying open the cage and rewarded everyone with the New Year's money that had been prepared a long time ago. Everyone was very happy and kowtowed to Rong Zheng again.

Rong Zheng smiled: "As long as you are not very out of line today, I don't care about anything else, just play and have an idle day." ”

The crowd agreed.

She saw that it was not early, so she helped Ziying to go to the room to greet her parents.

Rong Jiang and his wife were sitting and drinking tea, and when they saw their daughter coming to say goodbye, Rong Jiang gave Rong Zheng a purse. It contained a bag full of golden beans. Ma also gave her a purse, which was two pairs of gold bills in the shape of plum blossoms.

Rong Zheng accepted it generously, and his heart was still good to be a child, and he could take the New Year's money. As someone else's daughter-in-law, she has to worry about the family's entry and exit.

Rong Sheng also got the same gift as her sister, the little girl was much happier than Rong Zheng, Rong Jiang saw that her little daughter was cute and cute, and kissed Rong Sheng's face.

Rong Jiang saw Rong Zheng standing in front of him, and he was afraid that this eldest daughter would not be happy, so he shook her hand with a smile and said, "You are going out to play today, but you have to follow your mother well, don't run around, you know?" ”

Rong Zheng nodded.

Then she took her sister and went to the long room and the third room to pay New Year's greetings. Both sisters got a lot of New Year's money. Rong Zheng asked Ziying to help her put it away, and Rong Sheng handed it over to Ma.

Du Shi kept the sisters to eat snacks, Rong Sheng liked to eat the peanut candy, and ate two pieces noisily, but it was not enough, when he wanted to eat the third piece, the nurse persuaded beside him: "Mrs. said that Miss Fifth can't eat too much sugar, beware of you shouting that your teeth hurt again." ”

"I want it, I want to eat." Rong Sheng is a child after all, and no one cares about sprinkling it.

Du Shi thought that it was not good to cry on the first day of the first lunar month, so he smiled and said: "Don't be afraid to eat two more pieces, for the New Year, let the child eat if she likes to eat." It's good to be more restrained. ”

The nurse smiled a little helplessly: "The third lady doesn't know, our wife is strict in discipline, if the young lady eats something that can't be eaten, the wife will discipline the slave and maid." It doesn't matter if you train slaves and maids, but it's the fifth lady who suffers. ”

Ma's discipline of Rong Sheng is strict, which is something that the family knows, but he is very generous to Rong Zheng, even indulgent, which is also known to the family. In the past, Rong Zheng liked his stepmother very much because of this, and it wasn't until he got married later that he really understood some truths. Pampering does not mean love, and being harsh does not mean disgust. Sometimes it's the opposite.

The nurse had to take something else to coax Rong Sheng, but Rong Sheng didn't insist on peanut candy to eat.

By the time the time the time the hour came, the sedan car was ready. It is a big deal for the female dependents of the family to go out, and more than half of the nursing homes have been mobilized. Rong Zheng and Rong Xiao were close, so the two sat in the same carriage. Rong Sheng and the nurse sat in the small sedan chair in the back.

Rong Xiao was very happy when he went out, looked out with a curtain, and said to Rong Zheng with a smile: "It's really lively outside today, you can see what is sold." There are still colorful buildings outside the doors of those shops. ”

Rong Zheng is no longer a young girl in her heart, and she is not very enthusiastic about these bustles, so she only glanced at it twice and closed her gaze. She hadn't slept well last night, the car was shaking, and she couldn't help but feel a little drowsy.

Rong Xiao pushed her with a smile: "Sister, why are you sleepy at this time." ”

"I slept late last night."

Rong Xiao smiled: "When we get to Daxiangguo Temple later, let's go burn incense together, okay." My mother said that we don't need to accompany us today, so we can play comfortably for a long time. It's hard to get out anyway. ”

Seeing her elated, Rong Zheng smiled and nodded: "Okay." ”

Daxiangguo Temple is a thousand-year-old ancient temple and has always been a royal temple. However, this place is not as solemn as the ordinary ancient temple, and the area here is a lively place for trading. It is said that there are five times a month, the third gate sells rare birds and animals, and the second and third doors sell toys and sundries for daily use. In the courtyard of the temple, there are also colorful tents, and open-air stalls are set up to sell some mats, preserved fruits, cured meat, new fruits, bows and arrows, saddles, bridles, screen curtains, and so on. Near the Buddha hall, there are also some needlework, patterns, heads, crowns and the like made by Taoist monks and nuns. There's nothing you can't buy, only what you can't think of. It is said that trading flourished in the previous generation, and it is even more prosperous today.

Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, there are a lot of people who come to worship the Buddha and burn incense, and those who do business have long been driven out of the second gate by the people of the Yuwang Mansion, and they have returned a quiet place for Buddhism.

The sedan car entered from the mountain gate and did not stop until the drum tower.

Rong Zheng and Rong Xiao got out of the car. Rong Xiao hurried forward to help her mother Du, Rong Zheng saw that Ma had already fallen off the sedan chair, and Mama Zhou was supporting her, she stopped slightly and didn't step forward.

They went one after the other, and entered one door after another. From the Tianwang Hall to the Daxiong Treasure Palace, not a single hall has fallen. Rong Zheng sincerely knelt down and worshiped the incense. In my heart, I prayed for Brother Guan and Sister Qi. donated four taels of silver for sesame oil.

After the bow in the Daxiong Treasure Hall was completed, the monk invited them to the back room to rest with vegetarian fasting.

Rong Xiao sat down, then walked over and whispered to Rong Zheng: "Let's go, let's go to the scripture building to have a look." ”

Rong Zheng frowned and said: "What's so good about that, my feet are tired after I leave, let's rest for a while." ”

"Okay, I'll wait for you to finish a cup of tea."

Rong Zheng didn't want to move around, but Rong Di heard the movement here, ran over and asked Rong Xiao, and said with a smile: "Let's go, let's go together." ”

Rong Xiao still wanted to take Rong Zheng with him, but Rong Zheng looked tired, so Rong Xiao had to give up and go out hand in hand with Rong Di.

Du Shizheng complained to Mrs. Fang that her body has been a lot weaker recently, and Mrs. Fang smiled: "How old am I still older than you, in the end, the second wife is still young, and she doesn't breathe and her face is not red when she walks like this." ”

Ma smiled: "When I was at home, there was a pavilion built high at home, and there were hundreds of ladders, and I liked to climb up and down since I was a child, so it was okay." ”

Ma's body is good, that's not lying, in Rong Zheng's memory, Ma has never had any serious illness, occasionally contracted a cold or something, sometimes even the doctor is not invited, and he will be fine in three or five days. It's really a bit powerful, and a dose of medicine can cure the disease. Because her mother is in good health, she even has a good physique with Rong Sheng. I heard that Rong Sheng gave birth to a seven-pound son in her first child after she got married, and she hasn't suffered much yet, unlike when she gave birth to an official brother, she was tortured and almost took her life.

The ladies here are talking, and Rong Zheng is also a discerning person who often helps the elders add tea and hand over a snack and tea fruit, which is very courteous.

Half an hour later, Mama Zhou came over and said, "Three ladies, the palace has also come to offer incense." Now we have arrived at the Heavenly King's Palace. ”

Mrs. Fang got up first and said, "Since the people from the palace are here, it's not good for us to sit and not know." The two families are also moving around, so it's better to take the opportunity to ask for peace. ”

Ma and Du also agreed. Mrs. Fang looked back at the girls and said, "The eldest sister and the third sister should come with you." "Let people go to Rong Di and Rong Xiao again.
