Xie Fu pays attention to eating poached eggs stuffed with sugar water and wine before midnight (before five o'clock in the morning) on the first day of the first lunar month every year. I heard that it is the rule passed down by the ancestors from the south, the sugar water is sweet, the wine is brewed for a long time, and the poached egg is a metaphor for the round and full of silver and gold, indicating a good day of sweetness and long-term prosperity and wealth.

The blue and white fine porcelain bowl and spoon, the sweet aroma of the wine is steaming, there is a flat poached egg lying in the middle, the milky white soup is mixed with finely chopped glutinous rice, and then decorated with a few red wolfberries, Changsheng tasted a bite, sweet and long and full of wealth, who doesn't want such a day?

Douhuang Wu muttered to himself: "Every year on the morning of the first day of the new year, the master and the slave have to eat this, but the slave's bowl is coarse porcelain......"

"Is the third prince busy today?"

Seeing her solemn expression, Douhuang hurriedly stopped gossiping: "Yes, the third prince may not be able to get out of his body all day, get up at Yin Shi (three o'clock in the morning to five o'clock in the morning) to set off firecrackers and eat sugar water eggs, and worship the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth at Mao Shi (five o'clock in the morning to seven o'clock in the morning), and then start from the beginning of the Chen Shi (seven o'clock in the morning), pay New Year's greetings, reward, use the first New Year's meal, worship the ancestors, and then use the second New Year's meal, and wait until the end is almost the end of the Shen hour (five o'clock in the afternoon), and then gather in the old lady's room to laugh and wipe cards, and go to bed very late. ”

Changsheng smiled bitterly, it was so the first day of the new year, it seems that Mingjing really can't spare time today, how is he arranging? Mama Lu couldn't sleep all day, if she woke up and saw Jinshu, would she find anything? If Xiao Jinshu sees her, will she cry and tell the truth?

Douhuang seemed to detect her thoughts, and persuaded her: "Childe said that he has arranged today's affairs, so you can rest assured." The eldest lady has been with Xiao Wei Xiaoni since she was a child, and sometimes Grandma Lu is unwell, and the two sisters accompany the eldest lady, and they will never cry, and said that he really can't take care of it today, in case she cries, let you go over to take care of it. ”

Changsheng nodded with a solemn expression, and she understood the meaning of Mingjing. Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, he doesn't want to make a fuss and spoil everyone's interest, last night I don't know how to use any means to get drunk Granny Lu, and she couldn't get out of bed with a fever, so that the two sisters who are more familiar with Jinshu besides her will accompany her for the time being.

Tomorrow, he will lock her up and punish her for the truth and the mastermind behind the scenes, and then write to tell Ming Che what happened, and wait for him to come back to deal with it. The matter has come to this point, that is, Granny Lu woke up and knew that she had come into contact with Xiao Jinshu last night, and she was already unable to protect herself.

That's why Mingjing will say that things have been arranged. He thought that in addition to intimidating and deceiving Xiao Jinshu's grandmother Lu, she would no longer be hurt, but he forgot that what she was most afraid of in her life was to suddenly lose the closest and most dependent person, after last night although she was a little wary of Granny Lu, but after many years of habit, she has been inseparable from her, if Granny Lu suddenly disappears, she will fall into a huge panic and confusion again, thinking that she has been abandoned by the closest person, but I am afraid that the fragile heart will not be able to bear it.

Changsheng stood up in a hurry, this matter is related to Xiao Jinshu, it must be handled properly, and she must not be harmed in any way.

"Douhuang, take me to see if the eldest lady is awake."

Douhuang hurriedly nodded and took her over, the main room was quiet, pushed the door in, the hall was lit by candlelight, but the bedroom was still dark, it seemed that Xiao Jinshu was still asleep. Hearing the sound, a handsome girl in red came out of the bedroom, and when she saw them, she was stunned, and quickly understood the identity of Changsheng, and quickly bowed to her seat, claiming to be her sister Xiaowei.

Changsheng saw that although her demeanor was downright and generous, her expression was panicked, and her eyelids were slightly swollen as if she had cried, and he suddenly became suspicious, could it be that Mingjing said something to them? Lowered his voice and asked, "Hasn't the eldest lady woken up yet?" ”

Xiao Wei didn't dare to look at her, nodded and tiptoed in to call a girl in green to come out and salute, the two were born exactly the same, she was her sister Xiao Ni, with the same panic and slightly swollen eyelids.

Changsheng secretly observed them, pretending not to know anything, and asked in a low voice, "When does the eldest lady usually wake up?" Doesn't she eat sugar water eggs? Don't you give New Year's greetings to the old lady? Do you not participate in worshipping gods and ancestors in the house? ”

Xiao Wei lowered his eyelids and said: "The old lady is sympathetic to the eldest lady's illness and weakness, and authorizes her not to participate in worshipping the gods and ancestors, just go over and kowtow to her at the first New Year's dinner to receive a red envelope, so the slave maid is not in a hurry to call the eldest lady to get up, the sugar water and eggs are warm on the stove, and she will eat them when she wakes up." ”

Seeing that she didn't mention Granny Lu, Changsheng's heart moved, and he asked nervously: "I heard that Granny Lu drank so much that she couldn't wake up last night, and she hasn't gotten out of bed yet, and she personally sent me sobering soup last night, why did she get drunk?" ”

Xiao Wei and Xiao Ni's expressions became more and more frightened, and even trembled slightly. Changsheng was basically sure what Mingjing did last night, put down the teacup and stood up, and smiled softly: "I heard that you two sisters were brought into the house by the eldest and youngest grandmothers to get out of the sea of suffering, and they grew up with the eldest lady, no wonder the eldest lady doesn't want anyone except Grandma Lu, but she is willing to want you two sisters." Today, Lu's mother is sick, but she has to take care of her, so I'll go to see Lu's mother and come over. ”

The two of them answered in a whisper, like gnats, and buried their heads lower. Changsheng motioned for them to go in and quietly guard not to frighten Jinshu, so he took Douhuang out and went straight to the backyard ear room, Mama Lu was drunk last night, and she lived here first for fear of frightening Jinshu.

The ear room is very warm, although it is simple but it is quite neat, but the smell of wine is smoky, the two rough mothers-in-law sit in front of the bed to bake the fire, see the bean yellow, understand the identity of Changsheng, and quickly get up and salute. Granny Lu was lying on the simple wooden bed, turning **** from time to time, a very uncomfortable look, a closer look, her face was burned red, only covered with a thin quilt, her forehead was covered with wet towels to cool down, and the collar was also untied to dissipate heat, which seemed to be well taken care of.

"Have you ever asked a doctor to see it?"

"No, on the first day of the Lunar New Year this year, the doctor did not go to the doctor, and if you take medicine to see a doctor today, it will be a whole year of continuous illness, so I only poured sobering soup and wiped my body with warm water, and the housekeeper said that I would ask the doctor to see it tomorrow morning, but it is a pity that I can't eat sugar water eggs."

This room is full of charcoal basins and bedding, and these two old adults are taking care of them, how can they have a high fever? If it's just drunk, the alcohol content of this era is not high, so it can't be like this?

Changsheng's heart moved, and he said with a smile: "I was also drunk last night, fortunately Mother Lu sent a sobering soup, but I didn't expect that I would be fine, and my mother couldn't get up." The two grandmothers worked hard last night! ”

The two mothers-in-law hurriedly said: "Don't dare to say it in vain, last night the third son allowed the slaves to drink and have fun, we wiped the **** card, and only came over in the morning, and it was Xiaowei and Xiaoni who were taking care of Lu's mother at night." ”

Changsheng's heart moved, remembering the panicked expressions and swollen eyelids of the Xiaowei sisters, who had been taking care of Granny Lu last night, and were replaced by these two mothers-in-law in the morning. So, what happened here last night, they must know.
