On the first day of the Lunar New Year, it is customary for the emperor to go to the imperial tomb to worship the ancestors of the past dynasties.

On this day, all the court officials above the fourth rank in Kyoto, as well as the kings and grandsons with status, must accompany the emperor to the imperial tomb to worship.

Sacrifices were inherently solemn and cumbersome in ancient times, not to mention royal sacrifices.

Qin Chengsi got up and left the Qin Palace, although Chi Linglong also guessed that Qin Chengsi could come back before the evening.

However, this is just her personal expectation.

In fact, if it is according to her conservative estimate, I am afraid that if the lights are turned on, Qin Chengsi may not be able to come back.

The sacrifice on the first day of the Lunar New Year is completely in accordance with the ancient rites, and if it is not for the emperor's deliberate restraint, this activity may not be completed in three days.

Soon after Qin Chengsi left, Chi Linglong couldn't sleep anymore.

If it was a previous year, she would get up early on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and she and the sisters in the Hou Mansion who were tired of seeing each other would definitely go to Rongshou Courtyard to greet the old lady for the New Year.

Although the old lady is a little mean, and she is also greedy like a complete miser, she will still give them New Year's money when she gets up early on the first day of the new year.

The so-called New Year's money, the reality of gold and silver is not much, only five taels of silver per person.

However, in order to show her grandmother's love for her children and grandchildren, and her generosity, the old lady must give each of her granddaughters a copper hairpin wrapped in a layer of gold, and each of her grandsons will have a wolf hair......

Chi Linglong got up and had a simple breakfast, bored and didn't know what to do.

She thought about it for a long time, and then it suddenly occurred to her that she could also go to people to pay New Year's greetings.

- Sun Liuli and Sun Wuji are still living in the Qin Palace.

Chi Linglong happily took June and July and walked towards Lengyue Garden.

There is only one serious master of the Qin Wangfu, and the mansion is really outrageous, therefore, although every tree along the way, there are colorful lanterns, and the cleaning is also neat and clean, and the smell of firecrackers floats everywhere in the air.

When Chi Linglong arrived at Lengyue Garden, she saw the two big girls beside Sun Liuli, Qianjiao and Baimei, packing up their things in the yard.

The plum blossoms of Lengyue Garden are blooming when they are gorgeous, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes to the nose, but it can't be stopped, and the smell of incense that has floated in the air all night.

Qianjiao moved a round basin for burning paper and was about to go out.

Chi Linglong saw that the ashes in the round basin had already lost their original temperature, probably because they were completely burned out, and as soon as the wind blew, the incense ash collapsed completely.

Looking at this scene, this incense ash was definitely not burned in the morning, at least it should have been ordered last night.

Chi Linglong's delicate brows frowned slightly involuntarily.

Yesterday was Chinese New Year's Eve, a family reunion, a good day for the vigil.

It doesn't make sense, someone wants to be on this big day...... Burn incense and paper, right?

How unlucky.

Chi Linglong intuitively felt that something was wrong.

She snorted quietly, the faint smell of incense was still there.

Qianjiao and Baimei didn't seem to expect that Chi Linglong would come over here, and after saluting in surprise, they also smiled and said to her: "The girl is copying books in the Buddhist hall in the side room, and she has been copying all night." Childe, wait a minute, the slave will go and pass the word with you. ”

Chi Linglong waved her hand and asked Qianjiao and Baimei to go their separate ways.

One of the two was still holding an ash basin in his hand, and the other was still holding a broom in his hand, and they collected the paper money that had been scraped away in the courtyard before.

may also be thinking about it, what they are doing now is a taboo for some prisoners, and because of their own girl Sun Liuli, she never treats Chi Linglong as an outsider, and the entire Leng Yueyuan walks around with her, after Chi Linglong waved her hand again, Qianjiao and Baimei did not go to guide her to report, but went their own way.

Chi Linglong stopped outside the door of the Buddha Hall in the home remedies.

This small Buddha hall in the Cold Moon Garden was built by Sun Liuli and Sun Wuji, brothers and sisters, after entering the Qin Palace.

Chi Linglong knew that when Sun Liuli was three or five times, he would stay in the Buddhist hall for a day and copy scriptures.

However, if she didn't sleep on yesterday's Chinese New Year's Eve, but copied the scriptures all night, then the life of her and Sun Wou-ki's siblings seems to be even more difficult.

Chi Linglong hesitated outside the door for a moment, and before she could make up her mind whether to enter the Buddhist hall, she heard the voice of the people inside.

"Come in."

Chi Linglong raised her eyebrows and walked in.

The strong fragrance of Buddha in the Buddha hall is permeated, and it is cold without a little temperature.

As soon as Chi Linglongfu entered, he was so cold that he shivered.

Not to mention the dragon that burned the earth, it was not even a brazier, and he stayed here all night, not afraid of frostbite?

Chi Linglong pursed her lips and walked inside.

The inner room is arranged in the shape of a Buddha hall, and the Buddha hall is not dedicated to the Bodhisattva Maitreya, but it is enshrined, a pitch-black tablet.

In front of the tablet, a few pillars of Buddha incense with curling green smoke were lit, and there were two futons in front of the Buddha hall, and Sun Liuli, at the moment, was straightening his waist, kneeling on one of the futons, with a correct and atmospheric posture, on the small table in front of him, and the snow-white rice paper placed on the writing hard.

There was no scripture on the small table, but she seemed to have the scriptures printed in her mind for a long time, and she wrote like a god.

Chi Linglong stood behind her for a short time, and saw that Sun Liuli had already written two large Buddhist scriptures.

On the third piece of rice paper, after being half filled, she finally finished writing, and while breathing a sigh of relief, she also placed the brush on a red sandalwood ebony pen holder six or seven inches long, about three inches high, and two inches wide, which looked like a mountain from the appearance.

"When did you come back?" Sun Liuli smiled in her words, but asked in a hoarse voice.

"At the time of the third watch."

"Hmm."

Chi Linglong held on, because she had kneeling for too long, her legs and feet were numb.

Seeing that her face was pale, her eyes were full of red bloodshots, and her red lips, which were full and moist in the past, were now frozen into blue and purple, dry and peeling, and her whole body was even more cold like a lump of ice, and her eyes couldn't help but be slightly red.

Sun Liuli didn't look at her, but looked at the black tablet on the Buddha hall that did not have a word written on it.

It seemed to be talking to himself, and it seemed to be saying to Chi Linglong, "You go over...... Stick incense, right? ”

After a long while, Chi Linglong said a word in a low voice, "Good".

Sun Liuli stood firm on the door panel of the wing room, and Chi Linglong looked at the black tablet for a long time before finally walking to the futon below and kneeling.

With her forehead on the ground, her body as a whole bent forward, she respectfully bowed, until the "bang bang" kowtowed three times, then stood up, went to the desk to take incense, lit it on the candle, and inserted it in the Buddhist shrine.

When she turned around, she saw that Sun Liuli was crying at her, and tears came out of her beautiful eyes.

The glittering tears, like beads of broken thread, "snapped" "snapped" ran over her pale, almost transparent cheeks, dripping onto the floor in front of her.

Chi Linglong walked up to her, trying to hold her crumbling body.

Who knows, before her hands touched her arm, Sun Liuli violently forced her whole person and held her in her arms.

"Good sister, good sister......"

Sun Liuli seemed to be in a nightmare, like a cuckoo crying blood, she kept holding Chi Linglong in her arms, and called her incoherently, "Good sister, good sister......"

Chi Linglong wrinkled her brows, letting the bean-sized tears in her eyes come out, and after hesitating for a moment, she still hugged Sun Liuli, trembling like a fallen leaf in the wind at the moment.

She didn't know why, she just felt bitter, and she wanted to cry in her heart......

When Chi Linglong helped Sun Liuli out of the Buddhist hall, Sun Liuli's love seemed to have been controlled.

Her face was still pale, as ugly as a ghost, and her beautiful eyes were all red and bloodshot, but now her walking movements were graceful, as if she was the most formal and elegant lady.

With such a posture and such a look, I don't know why, at this moment, Chi Linglong was inexplicably reminded of the concubine Lan Guifei she saw at the palace banquet last night.

Concubine Lan is also so unsightly, and she shows a gentle atmosphere when she is careless......

It is not a monotonous and boring pretense, but a kind of disdain to be with others, noble to the core.

Her spine was always straight, as if it would never bend down at any time.

They are always so high, it is not about status, power and wealth, but that kind of style has long been soaked into their bones......

The expression on Chi Linglong's face began to be a little dazed again.

She didn't know if she was dreaming or if she was delirious again.

Otherwise, how could she vaguely recall that yesterday, when Lan Guifei approached her and lifted her chin, she also smelled the faint and almost negligible scent of Buddha on her body?

Concubine Lan was late for the palace banquet yesterday, and she had the scent of Buddha on her body. Hmm, what the hell was she thinking?

Chi Linglong patted her little face in annoyance.

The eyes were shining, just as the sun was rising, and thousands of golden lights were sprinkled all over the earth, Sun Liulifu came out of the darkness and couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly by this dazzling golden light.

"Follow me around."

"Okay."

The two of them took a step, and they had just walked a short distance when they saw Qianjiao, who had gone out to clean up the ashes, happened to come back with a smooth round basin.

Seeing Chi Linglong supporting Sun Liuli for a walk, he respectfully saluted each of them.

Qianjiao went back to prepare breakfast for Sun Liuli, but Sun Liuli turned around at the moment and stared directly at the brazier in Qianjiao's hand.

After looking at it for a while, she looked back and asked Chi Linglong with a smile, "You know...... Why did I burn paper in the courtyard yesterday on Chinese New Year's Eve? ”

Verbally, it is said to be "burning paper", but in fact, it is more accurate to say that it should be a sacrifice.

However, the regular time for the sacrifice should be to get up early today, and definitely not last night.

There is only one possibility,...... The night of Chinese New Year's Eve just happened to be the death day of a certain relative of Sun Liuli?!

Chi Linglong shook her head, but Sun Liuli laughed to herself.

She reached out and touched Chi Linglong's eyebrows, smiled, and sighed in a low tone, "How much it looks like ......"

On the other hand, it seemed that he was still talking to himself, "Yesterday, it was my x Sun family, three hundred and eighty-nine people, and they were collectively ...... The Day of the Strangulation......"

There was a soft "click", and Chi Linglong wolf Bèi stepped on a dead branch under the plum tree.

There was silence all around, only the sound of the north wind whistling, looking at Chi Linglong, the whole person was stunned now, completely stupid.

Sun Liuli retracted the pair of vast and empty eyes that looked into the distance, and looked back at Chi Linglong and smiled.

pinched her transparent earlobe as if funny, "Silly girl, my sister lied to you, you won't really believe it, right?" Hehe, you girl, but it's too simple. It's pure, you can believe what your sister says casually, and when the time comes, maybe you will be sold, and you will still be stupid to help count the money. Hehehe......"

The sound of a silver bell reverberated in the plum forest crisply, however, Chi Linglong's eyes were unblinking at the moment, looking straight ahead, obviously smiling and gorgeous, but that look was like crying hoarsely Sun Liuli, her mouth was dry, her eyes were astringent, and she couldn't say a word.

After a long time, Sun Liuli finally stopped laughing, and then moved in slow motion, touching it with affection, Chi Linglong's distant mountain eyebrows that were the same as her; Her misty and dark eyes murmured again, "Sister lied to you......"

The two of them stood motionless like this, standing under the plum tree for a long time, until there was another sound of footsteps, coming from the door of the Cold Moon Garden, and the two who were awakened had the ambition to look towards the door of the Cold Moon Garden.

But just as he saw that Sun Wuji, who was dressed in a white robe and looked equally haggard and tired on his face, was stepping into the Cold Moon Garden.

Perhaps he didn't expect that as soon as he entered the courtyard, he would see the two of them, and the expression on Sun Wuji's face flashed with surprise.

Then, with a warm and clean breath on his face, as clean as the warm sun, and beautiful eyebrows like a picture, he walked towards them with a smile.

When he got closer, the bloodshot in his eyes could no longer be hidden.

However, even if the wolf is described as very good at this moment, and his clothes are slightly wrinkled, this handsome man like a fairy, with such clean and warm eyebrows and eyes, and the elegance of his body, will still be thrilling and make people stunned.

He walked towards them, not about good looks, but about this person, who had washed away the lead and fallen into the mortal dust, and could not erase the bones around him.

Compared with him, looking at him, he can be so willing, without regrets, making people low to the dust.

"Delicate girl is here?"

Naturally, he stretched out his big palm that was white and rubbed the soft hair on the top of her head.

He didn't have the same mandatory etiquette as before, deliberately distanced himself from her, and now he comforted her, talking to her in an affectionate tone, as if he was caring about a ...... The most beloved little sister.

"Today, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the girl came to pay New Year's greetings?"

Chi Linglong nodded stupidly.

The brother and sister, at this time, in those similar eyes, they were really dyed with a smile deep in the bottom of their eyes.

Sun Wuji took out a piece of jade from his purse, which was blood-red, smooth and moist, delicate stone, soft as fat, and carved into a jade pendant that was very realistic and lifelike like a small snake.

"New Year's Gifts......"

Chi Linglong was stunned, and took over the jade pendant that could almost buy more than two cities, which was half the size of her palm.

She is a serpent......

Sun Liuli looked at her confused and stunned appearance, and was really amused by her at this moment.

He also pinched her slightly cool cheeks and said to her: "My sister has also prepared a New Year's gift for you, not only a congratulatory gift, but also a New Year's money." ”

Baimei heard the movement here, and also came over with a box.

Sun Liuli didn't look at the box, but she also took out a small sachet from her purse, "Oh, this is New Year's money." ”

From Baimei's hand, she took the box carved with a rosewood twig pattern and handed it directly to June behind her.

"This is this year's gift, as well as last year's gift."

In Sun Wuji's crying and laughing, as well as in June and July, in the speechlessness and curiosity of the thousands of charms, Sun Liuli said as a matter of course: "In the past ten years, my sister has not given you any New Year's gifts or festival gifts, and from this year onwards, I will give you a year's share every year." This year will make up for last year, and next year, and the year before last. Always ...... Compensate you for everything you owe......" R1152
