The three of them, killing pigs and sheep, cleaning up chickens, ducks and fish, only two or three days, hung up the yard full of fresh meat, bacon, salted chicken, wind duck.

The day after the sacrifice, when Li Sangrou got up, the courtyard was already busy.

With his sleeves rolled up high, he pulled long, oil-soaked noodles from one large copper basin into another.

Next to Dachang, the simple stove has been set up and burned.

The golden retriever sat on the small pestle and lit the fire, and the black horse was pouring soybean oil into the big iron pot, which burned the smell of beans, and added another bucket of sesame oil, and finally a few pieces of lard.

This is the boss's teaching, a single oil does not taste good.

Li Sangrou went to the kitchen to get two meat buns, poured a cup of tea, stood under the porch, eating and drinking, and looked at the three people who were busy with great interest.

In the past few days of the New Year, to be exact, from the sacrifice stove to the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Dachang was too busy to care about cooking for her, and the black horse and golden retriever were too busy to care about her.

Li Sangrou has no interest in the New Year, but the three in front of her are so excited about the New Year, as if they are alive for the New Year!

Li Sangrou ate and drank slowly, went into the house and took a cloak of indigo muslin noodles and skin, put it on, and explained to the three of them: "I will go to Kaibao Temple to make incense, and I will not come back at noon." I won't eat these oils for dinner, just burn a pot of mutton and cabbage. ”

"Kaibao Temple is far away, boss, you call a car." The golden retriever lit a fire and stretched out his head to shout.

"The boss still doesn't know how to call a taxi? Do you still need to say it? Boss, slow down! The black horse sat on a high stool, plucking the first handful of dumplings in the oil pot, and was so busy that he couldn't even turn his head to talk.

Li Sangrou waved her hand, walked out of the alley, and walked out of half the street before calling a car.

This kind of inconvenience that is difficult to even call a car, and the rush of the street is also one of the reasons why she doesn't like the New Year.

When it comes to the New Year, why are you so uncalm?

The coachman was also full of panic about the New Year, and sent Li Sangrou to the foot of Yishan in a hurry, and rushed back in a hurry.

At this time, Yishan is much quieter than usual, and Kaibao Temple is in front of the gate of Toudao Mountain at the foot of the mountain, and there are almost no people.

Li Sangrou didn't take the wide stone steps in front of the main mountain gate, circled around the foot of the mountain for half a circle, followed a few porters, and climbed the steps from a path.

Kaibao Temple is in the middle of the mountain, the bright yellow eaves corner that flies up, shrouded in the green smoke that flutters, and the bell chime of Qingyue pierces through the heavy chanting sound, which is long and far away.

Li Sangrou stopped, listened carefully for a while, and continued to go up, along the wall of Kaibao Temple, to the back door.

I heard that the Yongping Marquis Mansion was doing magic for that Shen Yun and Shen Second Master here, and it seemed to be true.

The back door of Kaibao Temple in and out of the debris and filth was opened.

Li Sangrou probed in, looked at it, saw that there was no one around, and raised his feet and entered Kaibao Temple.

The layout of the monastery was much the same, and when Li Sangrou passed by the back wall of the kitchen, she stopped and listened.

The kitchen is busy.

There are many monks in Kaibao Temple, and there will be no fewer guests today, at least there are a lot of people, and this kitchen really has to be busy from morning to night.

After passing the Tibetan Scripture Building, Li Sangrou stood against the corner of the wall, looked around, and went behind the row of wings with wide eaves behind the side of the Medicine King Palace.

In front of this row of chambers, flowers and green onions, several pots of blooming red and green plums are even more elegant and chic, and they are obviously carefully arranged.

In this way, it must be the place where the Shen family rests.

There are no windows on the back wall of the wing, and there are two tall round windows on the left and right.

Li Sangrou looked up at the round window, she just looked casually, and she couldn't jump up so high.

After turning around, Li Sangrou was about to give up, in front of the wing, there was a rush but not chaotic footsteps, and a mother-in-law's voice came: "Big lady!" The princess is here, and she has come in! ”

Li Sangrou took a few steps to the side of the wing, leaned against the wall, and looked at the front of the wingroom through the leaves of a large pot of maple trees placed in the corner of the corridor as a shield.

In the wing room, the first to rush out was a tall girl, wearing Qi Yuan's filial piety clothes.

This must be the palm pearl of Yongping Hou, Shen Mingqing, the eldest lady of the Shen family.

The two little girls who followed closely behind Shen Mingqing, the eldest one had just grown tall, with long legs and long arms, holding a six or seven-year-old girl, both of whom were in filial piety clothes.

This must be Shen Yun's two daughters, the second lady Shen Mingrui, and the third lady Shen Mingying.

The three of them hurriedly went out, and after a while, the three of them accompanied a plain white girl, walked slowly, and came in while talking.

Li Sangrou looked at the four people one by one.

Shen Mingqing, who was walking on the far right, had his eyebrows and eyes flying, quite a little bit of a downfall, and he was tilting his head slightly, listening intently to the girl next to him.

The girl in the middle is of medium height, wearing a white silk white fox cloak that reaches to her feet, her apricot eyes are shining, and her face is full of coquettishness.

Li Sangrou looked at her a few more times.

There is only one princess in the palace, the daughter of Empress Xianzhang, the sister of the eldest prince, Princess Ninghe.

Empress Xianzhang is probably not like her, with such a delicate and innocent face, she can't do such a thing as sitting in a walking circle and half a seat of Prince Rui's mansion.

Princess Ning He held Shen Mingying in her hand, the seven-year-old Shen Mingying was described as young, and she couldn't see anything, Shen Mingrui next to Shen Mingying hung her head slightly, revealing a trace of gloom.

Shen Mingqing suddenly looked at Li Sangrou's hiding place, Li Sangrou dodged behind the wall and quickly retreated along the wall.

No wonder Yongping Hou loves this Shen lady the most, and she is indeed sharp and outstanding.

……………………

"What's wrong?" Shen Mingqing suddenly looked at the corner of the corridor, and Princess Ning and Princess stood on tiptoe slightly, following over.

"Someone looks like they're watching us. Go and see. Shen Mingqing responded with a smile, turned his head and instructed the mother-in-law who followed behind.

"How can there be anyone here? It must have been cleaned up in the morning. Princess Ning smiled.

"Well, I've been a little restless lately." Shen Mingqing sighed.

"Me too." Princess Ning He looked distressed, "My cousin was in distress, my eldest brother didn't tell me first, and I won't know until my cousin comes back."

My cousin had such a long wound on his back, and he said it was very deep, but my cousin wouldn't let me see it, saying that he was afraid of scaring me. ”

Princess Ning and Princess just watched Shen Mingqing talk.

Shen Mingrui, who was walking on the other side, unscrewed her head stiffly and pulled Shen Mingying hard, Shen Mingying glanced at her sister, hung her head, and pulled her hand out of Princess Ning He's hand a little bit.

"Mingrui took her sister to listen to the scriptures first, and I'll go over in a while." The corner of Shen Mingqing's eyes swept over Shen Mingying's withdrawn hand, and he looked at Shen Mingrui and said.

Shen Mingrui snorted, pulled her sister, Chong Ning and the princess bowed their knees and retreated, turned around and went to the main hall.

"Cousin Mingqing, I haven't seen Mr. Wen for almost three months, I feel like he's avoiding me again, he's been avoiding me."

Watching Shen Mingrui take Shen Mingying out of ten steps, Princess Ning He couldn't wait to complain to Shen Mingqing.

"There's been a lot of going on lately, isn't it all Mr. Wen investigating your cousin's distress, he must be very busy." Shen Mingqing comforted tactfully.

"Isn't that the truth now?

Alas, look at me, I'm always so ignorant, I should go to the main hall to put incense on the uncle of the Shen family first, and the eldest brother also asked me to put incense on the pillar for him.

By the way, the eldest brother said that he would not come, let me tell you, and also said that you should accompany the second lady and the third lady more, saying that they are young and pitiful. ”

"Well, please rest assured." Shen Mingqing bowed slightly, solemnly answered, let Princess Ning He, talk, and go to the main hall.
