The eighth day of the twelfth month of the lunar calendar, Laba season, there are sacrifices to ancestors and gods, pray for a good harvest and auspicious tradition, there are many legends for Laba Festival, there are Buddhism said, it is said that this day is Shakyamuni enlightenment under the Bodhi tree to become a Buddha, so the folk eat porridge to commemorate the Buddha's enlightenment, there is also said to commemorate Yue Fei, Yue Fei led the troops to resist Jin in Zhuxian Town, it is the number nine severe winter, Yue's army is not good at food and clothing, the people have sent porridge, Yue's army ate the "thousand porridge" sent by the people, and returned with a big victory, this day is the eighth day of December. After Yue Fei's death, in order to commemorate him, the people cooked porridge with mixed grains and beans and fruits on the eighth day of the lunar month, which finally became a custom. There is also a saying that Zhu Yuanzhang's, it is said that Zhu Yuanzhang was in prison that year, it was a cold day, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was hungry and cold, found some red beans, rice, red dates and other seven or eight kinds of grains from the mouse hole in the prison, Zhu Yuanzhang boiled these things into porridge, because that day was the eighth day of the lunar month, Zhu Yuanzhang called this pot of multigrain porridge Laba porridge. Later, Zhu Yuanzhang pacified the world and became the emperor, in order to commemorate the special day in the prison, he set this day as Laba Festival, and officially named the multigrain porridge he ate that day Laba porridge.

Regardless of the origin, the Chinese people on this day are all tossing, although it is a national funeral, the imperial court has issued an order, for the emperor to keep filial piety for three months, it is not appropriate to celebrate, but in their own house, buy some rice grain, cook a night of fragrant Laba porridge, or no one will care.

Cao Bianjiao just entered the house, smelled the fragrance, and was greedy, walked into the lobby, saw his daughter jumping there, and also walked over, after Cao Yuan saw Cao Bianjiao, she also threw herself into Cao Bianjiao's arms, rubbing up, they are all big girls, and they still look very lively.

"I'm back, just right, I cooked Laba porridge, today is Laba Festival, everyone wants to sit down together, come to a small reunion, although the first emperor mourns, but this porridge is not taboo, you came back just right, go and clean it up!" Liu Wanrong also came up and said with a smile, looking very happy.

Soon, Liu Wanrong found Ren Rong'er behind Cao Bianjiao, and she also smiled, and didn't say anything, which made Cao Bianjiao very embarrassed, but she still had to face it, and she also pulled Ren Rong'er at the moment and said: "This is my wife Liu Wanrong, in terms of age, she is half a year older than you, you will call her sister in the future, Wanrong, this is Rong'er, your own sister, you will take care of it more in the future." ”

Liu Wanrong also tacitly knew what Cao Bianjiao meant, how could she, the general's wife and princess of the county, be called a sister by ordinary people, not to mention that Cao Bianjiao said that she was a sister, the meaning behind it is self-evident, there are many women in the family, and Liu Wanrong is used to it.

"My sister is here, this is the first time we meet, and there is nothing to give you, so this jade hairpin is right to be used as a meeting gift." Liu Wanrong also pulled Ren Rong'er and took a jade hairpin on her head, which was given to her by Cao Bianjiao when she followed Cao Bianjiao to Nanjing, and now she is quite generous.

"Thank you, sister!" Although Ren Rong'er is a woman who has lived in the palace ban, she also looks like a little woman at the moment, and she looks very embarrassed, but Liu Wanrong's generosity and decency dispelled her worries.

If Liu Wanrong really did what she thought, this general's mansion would have been restless for a long time, could Cao Bianjiao still be willing to bring her back, besides, Cao Bianjiao was not to bring her back alone, Liu Wanrong had already been used to it, she came to find Cao Bianjiao, there was a Kou Baimen, from Sichuan back to Nanjing, there was one more Liu Ruyi, after returning from a battle in Sichuan, she brought back a Liu, and now there is a Ren Rong, she is already accustomed to it, such as Cao Bianjiao's status today, Three wives and four concubines are a normal thing.

Liu Wanrong pulled Cao Bianjiao to the side, Liu Ru had already come up and grabbed Ren Rong, and accompanied her into the house to talk, Cao Bianjiao and his wife also walked to the porch, and no one approached.

"I don't know about you hiding Jiaojiao in the golden house outside, I just don't want to ask, when Sister Kou was pregnant with Liujia, you weren't there, I knew you had a problem at that time, but it was just inconvenient to take care of your face, and now you brought back a woman, I won't say anything, but there is a person, let me ask you, what are you going to do?"

"Who?" Cao Bianjiao was ashamed by Liu Wanrong, he didn't wipe his mouth when he ate secretly, but it doesn't matter if he is thick-skinned, he is a general in front of others, and he is a man for women at home.

"Who else can there be, Miss Bian Yujing, Miss Bian was not feeling well the day before yesterday, I found Lang Zhong for her, but I didn't expect to find out that it was Ximai, just ask how many people can make Miss Bian see in this general's mansion, Li Yan, I borrowed ten guts from him, he didn't dare, the red lady had to pick his skin, or Mr. Song, I don't think it would be, Mr. Song never goes to the backyard, except for you, there is no one else!"

In the face of Liu Wanrong's interrogation, Cao Bianjiao also touched his head in embarrassment, and said with a smile: "It's still the old wife who knows about me, it's true, who dares except me!" ”

"Then you have to give someone a name, no, right now the first emperor's mourning period, it is not appropriate for Cao to change Jiao, then the family sits together and eats a meal, I have already talked to Miss Bian, she has no opinion, and there is also that Li Xiangjun Miss Li, what are you going to do, rabbits don't eat the grass by the nest, I think you are picking the meat on the side of the mouth, I see that Miss Li is depressed all day long, so you can simply accept it, what is the difference between two people and three people?"

"It's so good, I think, I'm just afraid that people don't want to, you can't see what she's depressed for, that Hou Fangyu has been arrested, and now he is locked up in a prison, waiting for my final verdict, a few days ago, the Criminal Department has already interrogated and reported to me, convicted of a Ling Chi, a person like him, it can be said that he is innocent, but I am worried that Miss Li can't stand it, or you should talk about it, or let it be said, they have a closer relationship."

"Then I'll be the villain, if she can't rest assured, let Ru intercede with you, but Ru will be in a dilemma, I'll go and tell her tonight, probe her tone!"

"Then there is Mrs. Lao, the porridge is ready, let's go, drink the porridge!" Cao Bianjiao didn't say anything anymore, and went to the dining hall with Liu Wanrong in his arms.

Li Yan went to Liaodong to take over the affairs of the three cities in Liaodong, and in addition, he had to contact the North Korean side to restore contact, and he was not in the house, and Song Xiance went to Shanxi to deal with the scum of the Jin merchants.

"Today, through this festive banquet, I would like to announce a message to everyone, this is Ren Rong'er, who will be your sister in the future, and is a member of my Cao family, and the other is Saisai, that is, Bian Yujing's girl, who also broke the heirs of my Cao family, and will also be a member of my Cao family in the future.

For Ren Rong's matter, they were not surprised, but Bian Yujing was quite surprised, no wonder Bian Yujing took off his robe not long ago, grew long hair, and wore colorful clothes again, it turned out to be like this, but no one felt abnormal for Bian Yujing to enter the Cao family, but they also accepted it calmly, especially Kou Baimen and Liu Ruyi, they both smiled knowingly, quite teasing, which made Bian Yujing very shy at the moment.
