The next day is the thirtieth day of the lunar month.

Different from last year's desertion, this year's two-room population gathered in the capital, which is really an atmosphere of family reunion.

Cao Yin led his nephew and wiped the sacrificial vessels in the front yard. The Li family, the Zhao Jia family, and the Chu Yu family and a few of their little concubines were busy in the kitchen with the ingredients for worshipping their ancestors.

Jinghui and Ruhui are both new daughters-in-law, wearing red flag suits and velvet flowers on their heads, looking very festive.

I don't feel it when I'm not together, and when the two stand together, they stand tall and low in appearance. One is tall, one is petite, one has apricot eyes, one has phoenix eyes, no matter how you look at it, Ruhui's appearance should also be pretty.

Zhao Jia's watched coldly, and he was also a little proud in his heart.

Although her eldest daughter-in-law looks like she can't make mistakes, her color is mediocre and she doesn't look fresh. I really don't know what kind of illness my son is committing, but he just looks at the right eye.

Picky is picky, Zhaojia's is still a little satisfied with the eldest daughter-in-law.

The word "deferential" makes Zhaojia's ironing a lot. Let's just say that the appearance of looking at the nose and the nose and the heart, although it is a little boring, but it looks very good at knowing the rules, which makes people feel a lot more worried.

This stands and compares, Jinghui is not as good as Ruhui; But when it comes to moving in the kitchen, Ruhui is far inferior to Jinghui.

Jinghui sent people under the fence in her early years, although she didn't have to worry about food and clothing, but she knew all the female celebrity cooking skills. Chu Yu's side, sometimes for Cao Hao, he also cooks in person.

As soon as the two of them moved, they could see some of the regulations.

Ruhui's side, but it can't be.

Although before getting married, the female celebrity and cooking skills were all taught by her grandmother, but she just knew a little skin. Let her do it herself, but she can't even hold a kitchen knife steadily.

It's not so much that she helps, it's not enough to make trouble, and the cut out dish yards are not shaped, and they can't be served at all.

Zhao Jiashi was beside him, but his face was blue and red. Then I thought about it, but it was just a formality for the New Year, and the family didn't need a daughter-in-law to cook in the kitchen.

Let's just say that she has been married to the Cao family for all these years, and she is just wet her hands when preparing sacrifices for the New Year.

Those who are capable are self-toiling; If you can't do it, maybe you're blessed.

People's hearts are like this, she looks at her niece and pleases her eyes, and the disadvantages are also advantages.

Chu Yu and Jing Hui are already familiar with each other, and they are also comfortable with each other when they work, and they are a little familiar and close in their conversations.

Ruhui, who retreated to the side, could only do the work of handing over the plates, looking at the two sisters-in-law, her expression was a little stiff.

Although Chu Yu looked good, but when she was born Tianhui, she hurt her vitality, and Li was afraid that she would be tired, so she said: "There is still half a day of work left and right, don't be busy at this moment, do it slowly." ”

Chu Yu smiled and said: "The daughter-in-law is not in the way, but the wife gets up early, and she is tired of coming, there are a few of us here, the wife and the second wife will go to rest first!" ”

Li shook his head and said, "We're just standing, we haven't done much yet, where are we tired?" Speaking of this, I remembered something and asked, "By the way, I heard that I sent sesame oil money to Guanghua Temple in the morning, which ...... What do you do? ”

Chu Yu replied: "This year is the forty-fifth year of my wife, which is also considered a whole birthday, so I will send some sesame oil money, and light a few ever-bright lamps over there to pray for my wife." ”

Li Shi was a little surprised, nodded with a smile, and said, "It's hard for you to remember, isn't it, this year will be forty-five!" ”

Zhao Jiashi was beside him, but he couldn't help frowning, and he felt a little uncomfortable. She is the same age as Lee, and she is a few months older.

This year is not only Lee's "Dark Nine" year, but also hers.

If she didn't mention this, she couldn't think of it, but when she mentioned this, she thought of herself. Looking at the two daughters-in-law, thinking that she had no husband, and her son and daughter-in-law didn't remember, she didn't even seem to have anyone to do "Dharma things" for herself, and she was also a little sad.

Seeing that Zhaojia's expression was wrong, Li remembered that the two were the same age, and said to Chu Yu with a smile: "Your aunt is also celebrating her birthday this year, so ask someone to send another copy of the sesame oil money over there, this ...... Just write the names of your two brothers and daughters-in-law......"

"Yes, you know!" Chu Yu responded with a smile and went down to make someone speak.

Zhao Jiashi looked at Chu Yu's back, felt a little pantothenic acid in his heart, and said to Li: "Sister-in-law is so blessed to marry such a virtuous and caring daughter-in-law." I don't know if I know, I still think it's a daughter, where can I see that it's a daughter-in-law. ”

Seeing Jinghui and Ruhui standing with their heads down, Li looked a little uncomfortable, and said to Zhaojia with a smile: "Brother and sister, aren't you also blessed, such a good pair of daughters-in-law." When the fourth and fifth children also marry daughters-in-law, then I will be more and more envious! ”

Zhao Jiashi pursed his lips and did not say anything more...... * Outside the Xihua Gate, Jueluo Mansion, the main house of the inner courtyard, the Xitara clan was wearing a navy blue flag suit, combing two handfuls of hair on his head, holding a string of sandalwood Buddha beads in his hand, sitting on the kang, looking at Biping solemnly.

Seshtu and Cao Yi were both dressed in green and stood on the ground with a little worry on their faces.

"Eniang, let's go with my son and daughter-in-law!" Seshtu's voice was pleading.

"Yes, Eniang, let's go over! If you don't come, your daughter-in-law will move back and wait for you! Cao Yi waited for her husband to finish speaking, and then said.

"Nonsense!" When the Hitara clan heard this, he clenched the beads vigorously, frowned, and said, "Since it is a holy order, you have been in the past. What did I do in the past, a lonely old woman? I don't have that cheeky skin, but by your light, I am a lady! Speaking of this, he looked at the shrine offered on the kang on the west side, and said, "Besides, if you celebrate the festival every year, someone must also give incense to the pillar in front of your Amaling." ”

Seshtu looked at his mother, and his heart was so sad that he couldn't speak; Cao Yi listened, and said closely: "E-niang, since this is the case, the daughter-in-law will stay here to serve E-niang." ”

Xitara took her hand and let her sit on the side of the kang, rubbed the back of her hand, and said: "Silly boy, in the house over there, you are exactly needed to be the head of the house, and in our courtyard here, there is nothing to worry about." I don't live far away, and when I'm not busy, I don't have anything to do. ”

Cao Yi hesitated for a moment and said, "E-Niang, even if it is not far away, the daughter-in-law and her grandfather can't fulfill their filial piety by E-niang's side, and they can't put it aside in their hearts." Since E-Niang is reluctant to enter the public mansion, or else, she will look for a yard in the neighborhood of the public mansion in the next year, and E-Niang should be considerate of us and move there. Otherwise, the uncle and his daughter-in-law will be poked in the back! ”

This is also a way that there is no way, the Hitara clan glanced at his son and daughter-in-law, nodded, and then relieved a little, and said: "When you find the house, you two, go down and prepare, after a while, you will have to go back to the mansion earlier." ”

In the heart of the old man, he is also reluctant to give up his eldest grandson. However, as a mother, she couldn't bear to tell her son and daughter-in-law directly and let them leave her eldest son Shou'er here.

Seeing that his mother was relieved, Seshtu nodded vigorously and said, "Well, my son will go down and prepare......"

* At the age of thirty, not only ordinary people want to worship their ancestors, but even the emperor's house is no exception.

The princes and grandsons of various palaces, Fujin side Fujin, all entered the palace early in the morning and also participated in the palace to worship their ancestors.

The eighth elder brother is still "recuperating behind closed doors", but Bafujin is still dressed up and goes to the palace to greet the queen mother and concubines.

Standing in the Qianqing Palace with all the elder brothers, the faces of the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother were not very good, with a bit of haze, and there was no joy for the New Year.

The eighth elder brother is not the first time to be rewarded, as early as the "abolished prince" when the hundred officials recommended him, he also received the petition, and in the end it was still nothing.

As soon as the "Killing Eagle Incident" came out, the third elder brother was originally happy in his heart, but now he was a little apprehensive. Although the emperor's father scolded badly, there was no next step.

The eighth elder brother is good at dancing with long sleeves, and his wife's family An Wangfu used to be said to be more powerful, so that there are not a few people who should be in harmony with the government and the opposition.

Some people see the wind and steer the rudder, and some people do not give up the dream of "supporting the merit".

The fourth elder brother is still a cold face, looking very solemn. In his heart, he thought of the thirteenth elder brother who had not been able to enter the palace for many years, but he didn't pay much attention to the honor of the eighth elder brother.

"The Sacred Heart is unpredictable", the eighth elder brother had a seizure last month, who knows which one the imperial father will have next month, and what is his name?

As Dai Duo said in his letter, what he can do is to bury his head in work, "love" his brothers, and be a "deferential" son.

looks like a god, and it is said that these heavenly brothers and sisters.

No matter what they think in their hearts, the brothers talk to each other very gently. Of course, except for the ten elder brothers with the surname Gengzhi. It's just that his face is gloomy now, and he doesn't speak much, except for talking to the fifth elder brother and the ninth elder brother, everyone else is ignoring.

The seventh elder brother glanced at the third elder brother and the fourth elder brother who were greeting each other, and felt that it was a bit of an eyesore, so he turned around and talked to the twelfth elder brother.

The sixteenth elder brother and the seventeenth elder brother whispered, but they were thinking in their hearts, this year is the year of the draft, and the new nobles in the harem have all given birth to elder brothers, if they can catch up with the harem canonization this year, I don't know if the grade of Eniang can be upgraded to the next level.

Although in the harem, the name of the sixteenth elder brother's biological mother, Wang, is "noble", but it has always been provided with "concubine" treatment. The harem came and went, and everyone was also called "Wang Concubine".

In the end, the name is not right, and the Wang family does not dare to take it big, even if he meets a nobleman who has just been canonized, he must also see it with a peaceful courtesy.

Now, she is also a grandmother, and the sixteenth elder brother hopes that her mother can live a better life and no longer have to be so careful.

It doesn't matter if he looks like a god, or if he has a freak in his heart, for those sons standing in the hall, Kangxi really can't get close.

He sat in the Dongnuan Pavilion and did not go out immediately, but sat on the edge of the kang and spoke to the eldest grandson Hongchen without saying a word.

Although Honghui is clever, his surname in his early years is a little jumpy. In the past few years, he has experienced a lot of things, and he looks much calmer.

Looking at the eldest grandson, thinking of the restrained second elder brother, Kangxi squinted, thinking of his wife who had passed away for many years, and felt a little desolate in his heart.

The house is full of children and grandchildren, but I don't feel the meaning of reunion, the loneliest person in this world is the emperor.

* In a blink of an eye, after a busy day, at dusk, the Cao family gathered in the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors.

After the tedious sacrifice ceremony, it was already dark, and everyone went back to Lanyuan for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

The servants in the front yard and the maids and women in the backyard, in addition to those who have errands, also eat in the front and back yards.

The upper room of the orchid courtyard, in the west room.

A screen was placed on the ground, and a kang table was set up in the screen, and women were seated; Outside the screen is the ground table, and Cao Yin is sitting with his children and nephews.

Tianyou and Hengsheng are still young, and they are held by ** and follow their grandmother.

According to the rules, there is no seat for a daughter-in-law in front of Li and Zhaojia. It's just that Li felt sorry for Chu Yu and asked her to sit on the side of the kang, and then said to Zhao Jiashi with a smile: "Brother and sister, during the Chinese New Year, the two nieces and daughters-in-law have also been busy for most of the day. ”

Jinghui is nothing, Ruhui's side, Zhao Jiashi saw that she was not in good spirits, and she was also a little worried, afraid that she was tired of being a new daughter-in-law.

After listening to Li's words, although she was happy in her heart, she couldn't help but say on her face: "It's still my sister-in-law who feels sorry for them, but it seems that I am a bad mother-in-law." As he spoke, he said to the two of them, "Why don't you thank the eldest lady for her kindness?" ”

Jing Hui and Ruhui leaned over at Li and said, "Thank you, eldest lady." ”

Li was choked by Zhaojia's previous words, but it was just a big New Year, and it was not easy to deal with it, so he smiled at the two nieces and daughters-in-law and asked the maid to bring them a stool.

God bless and Hengsheng, one is three years old and the other is two years old, and they remember something.

Although the slap mark on Hengsheng's face has disappeared, the moment he saw Zhao Jia's family, the little guy still couldn't help but tremble.

He grabbed Tianyou and didn't let go, hiding his small body behind the Li family, not daring to look at the Zhaojia family.

Tianyou took his brother's hand, looked at Zhao Jia's family, and with a little fear and vigilance, rubbed to Li's side, and said in a milky voice: "Grandmother, the bad guy is coming, beat my brother......"

A child's remark couldn't help but make Zhao Jia's face change, and even Cao Song outside the screen was stunned......
