Hu's mother won the trust of the Sun family and asked her to take care of Chu Weijing's daily life, because she went to the front yard with Chu Weijing, and the Ruan family couldn't tolerate her. Hu's mother left the inner courtyard, but she was quite familiar with the old people who had been purged by the Ruan family, and she might know their whereabouts.

The brother and sister discussed for a while, and saw that the night was getting thicker and thicker, and if Chu Weijing didn't leave, he would miss the time when the second door was dropped, so he had to stop.

"Third brother, be cautious, don't startle the snake," Chu Weilin advised, "Don't tell others, my father and Wei Cong don't know." ”

Chu Weijing responded, paused, and smiled a little sarcastically: "You don't let the fifth uncle know because you're afraid that he will be sad, but I want to hide it from him because I'm afraid that he will report the news!" ”

Such an important matter, Chu Nonsu must be clear, but in that accident, what role did he play? Half-pushed, half-on-the-spot, or kept in the dark?

For a while, Chu Weilin didn't know how to comfort Chu Weijing.

Chu Weijing didn't care, he had already been cold to Chu Yan, and reminded Chu Weilin to be careful all the way, he waved his hand and went out of Liuliyuan first.

Chu Weilin stood in place and calmed down, the cold wind blew, her body was a little cold, she tightened her cloak and walked out, and returned the same way with Mother Lu and Bao Jin.

Seeing that the light of Qinghui Garden was getting closer and closer, Chu Weilin whispered to Bao Jin: "Don't say anything about tonight, and don't say anything about Bao Lian in front of you." ”

Bao Hibiscus stood alone in the empty garden for two quarters of an hour, her heart was furious, and she didn't want to study it at all, so she nodded vigorously: "The slave and maid don't say anything." ”

In the middle of the night, Chu Weilin really dreamed of the Jiang family.

In the dream, she threw herself into her mother's arms and recounted the helplessness and pain of these years, saying that she could not save her father, her brother, or keep the child......

And Jiang didn't say anything, she just smiled faintly, hugged her daughter who was crying breathlessly, and gently stroked her long hair, again and again.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already bright.

Her cheeks were dry and painful, Chu Weilin raised her hand and wiped it, and the astringency was full of tears.

Sit up and call Pauline.

Baolian came in with a basin of water, and couldn't help but be stunned when she saw Chu Weilin's eyes red and swollen, but she quickly understood that it must be the girl who misses her wife like this.

Putting the basin on the shelf, without mentioning those sad things, Baolian smiled and told Chu Weilin something new: "Girl, it snows at night, but unfortunately it doesn't rain much, so it's so little." As she spoke, Pauline compared her fingers to the thickness of the snow.

Chu Weilin couldn't help but smile when she saw her cheerful.

Mother Lu heard it and scolded with a smile: "What's the hurry, when you enter the wax moon, are you still afraid that there will be no snow?" ”

As Lu's mother said, on the second day of the lunar month, it snowed heavily for a whole day, and the maids and women in the house worked together to clear the main road.

Mrs. Zhang was worried about the slippery road, so she saved everyone from asking for peace.

On ordinary days, it can be avoided, but on the eighth day of the new year, it will be sloppy.

Before dawn, Chu Weilin got up, freshened up and went to Yishun Hall.

The lights in the Yishun Hall were already lit, and the main room was bright, and when I got closer, I heard laughter.

Chu Weilin entered the west room, and after greeting them one by one, she sat down, and after waiting for a while, Mrs. Zhang came out of the inner room after finishing up.

"When everyone is ready, let's go."

He prepared a soft sedan chair, and after helping Mrs. Zhang to get on the sedan chair, his own family also got on the sedan chair, and the group went to the ancestral hall.

The east side was exposed to the white of the fish's belly, and the rooms outside the ancestral hall arrived one after another.

When people are clear and young, they have to worship their ancestors, but the most important thing is the day of Laba.

Not only the masters, but even the concubines in each room arrived, kneeling at the end, except for Aunt Xia.

Chu Lunrin took the lead and bowed to the heaven and earth and the ancestral tablet.

After the ceremony was over, Mrs. Wen frowned and looked around, thinking that the old lady Zhang had been persuaded and persuaded in the inner room that day, she could only sigh and let the Huang family help her go back first.

Sending Mrs. Zhang back to Yishun Hall, and then to Qinghui Garden, as soon as she sat down, Baolian came in with a food box.

"Girl, Laba porridge has been delivered," Baolian said as she opened the four-layer carved black lacquer food box and took out a bowl of bowls, "This is from the old lady's yard, and this is the ...... sent by the big lady."

Chu Weilin looked at the thick or thin laba porridge in front of her and pursed her lips.

It's not that she's talking badly, it's really so many bowls, it's panicking when you look at it.

Baolian was still going out: "This is sent by the fifth aunt in Changfu, and this is the ...... sent by the fifth wife's mother's family."

Chu Weilin looked at the laba porridge with a lotus seed floating in the middle, and said strangely: "The fifth uncle's mother's family sent it?" This is the first time. ”

General Li's mansion has been sending porridge to Chu Mansion every year, but the Li family only sent porridge from his own yard in previous years, and never shared these from his mother's family.

"Slaves are also strange." Baolian smiled and shook her head, when the people around the Li family sent it, she thought that she had passed the wrong word.

Baolian put the food box aside, took an empty bowl, scooped a spoonful in each bowl, and evenly opened the back end to Chu Weilin: "Girl, let's still be the same as in previous years." ”

It's such a bowl, and it still tastes a little greasy.

In order to finish eating Laba porridge before noon, all the kitchens started to boil it the night before, and after five or six hours, where is there any taste, Chu Weilin never likes to eat it, so she changed such a method because of the rules.

"Is there anything Vi Ching is there?" Chu Weilin asked as she drank.

"Don't worry, girl, Mother Lu personally sent it over to the fifth master."

Chu Weilin bowed her head, drank it all, and saw that the lotus seed looked good, so she stretched out a spoon, put it in her mouth and tasted it, and couldn't help laughing: "It's not rotten yet." ”

Baolian burst out laughing and moved the bowl sent by Li's mother's family to Chu Weilin. Chu Weilin took the spoon and flicked it, and picked out some peanuts and cashew nuts: "A small bowl, there are quite a lot of ingredients." It is said that the Li family is rude, but this porridge is good. ”

"Doesn't the book say, 'A man must not be a man, and the sea cannot be measured'!"

Baolian suddenly said this, Chu Weilin's hand to find cashew nuts stopped, blinked and smiled: "It's not." ”

It's not just that people can't look good, but more importantly, they don't know their faces.

She's really seen it these days.

Chu Weilin finished eating and divided the rest, and Baolian and Bao Hibiscus beckoned the maid in the courtyard and cleaned up all the laba porridge before noon.

After Laba, the flavor of the New Year is getting stronger day by day.

Taking advantage of the good sun, Chu Weilin and Chu Weiai sat in Yishun Hall to cut window flowers.

Yu's mother is a good player, smiled and pushed a few times, let Holly press on the pestle, and guided the two girls.

Chu Weiai's hands are small, her movements are not fast but she is extremely careful, and she can't help but smile when she gets a few words of praise from Mrs. Zhang.

The house was full of joy, and Dong Kui came in and said, "Old lady, the fifth wife's sister-in-law has passed the house." ”
