After all, there is a big funeral at home, even if it is in the people, every big funeral at home, there is a custom of not sticking a pair and not greeting each other for three years.

So the old lady only wrote a blessing word and pasted it on the door of the house, which looked a little deserted, but it was also in order.

These things used to be the eldest lady's Zhang Luo, and every New Year's Day, it was the busiest time for the eldest lady, in addition to the renovation and decoration of the entire mansion, she was also busy with the banquet inside and out.

At that time, the eldest lady was the head of the house, and it was natural to do this. But now Mu has retired from the position of the main mother, and the head of the family has become the second master of the night, so Mu has rarely had a quiet year. In addition to the nostalgia for her late husband, such a thirty-month arrival makes her feel more comfortable.

But when she is comfortable, some people are uncomfortable, because if she doesn't do these things, someone else must do them.

Originally, the second lady Xiao was supposed to come to Zhang Luo, but the Xiao family was locked up in Qihua Pavilion and couldn't get out, and it was not the same thing to hand over all the power to the subordinates, so the old lady could only pick up the burden.

The old lady really hasn't taken care of these trivial matters for too many years, although she is just sitting in the Fulu courtyard and moving her mouth, but these days, just the people who are going back and forth to report and ask for instructions, let her be one head and two big.

This kind of trouble continued until the first afternoon of Chinese New Year's Eve, when the female relatives gathered in Fulu'er to ask her for peace, and she finally couldn't hold it anymore and slammed the table at Mu Shi: "Mu Qianqiu!" It's Chinese New Year's Eve, why don't you release the Jingsheng family soon? How can you woman's heart be so vicious! ”

Mu Shi had long been accustomed to the old lady's abuse of her these days, and when she heard this, she said unhurriedly: "Don't worry, old lady, as long as she sees my daughter, as long as she is really safe and sound, I will release her immediately." ”

The old lady was even more angry, "How many times have I told you, you want your daughter to go to the Dust Palace, this matter has nothing to do with the Jingsheng family!" Can you understand human speech? Now that it's the New Year, if you don't release them, will you expect the old body to give you Zhang Luo food and drink? ”

Mu Shi glanced at her and said lukewarmly: "The family is still mourning, who can be in the mood to eat and drink?" We definitely don't need it in the west courtyard, the old lady just needs to eat and drink by herself. As for who to ask for, I only know who brought it out and who didn't. If they really went down to drink tea with His Royal Highness the Dust King, why didn't they mention it when they came back? If you tell me that you are going to have tea with His Royal Highness the King of Dust, I will not lock them up in the Kee Wah Pavilion. ”

"That's what they're embarrassed to say!" The old lady slapped the table again, "The eldest girl who has not left the pavilion goes to drink tea with a man and does not come back until dark, who is embarrassed to say such things?" They are saving you face, but you are shameless! ”

"Old Lady Night!" Mama Ji was unhappy again, "Please also pay attention to your words, don't say too ugly, otherwise someone will come to reason with you." Or does the old lady think that no one can control you today? Is it really the first year of the Night Saint? Would the old slave kneel down and salute Her Majesty? ”

The old lady broke out in a cold sweat again, and secretly blamed herself for only caring about the speed of her tongue for a while, but she forgot about this stubble.

So he lowered his face and stopped squeaking, but he heard Mu Shi say again: "What is there to be embarrassed to say? My daughter is just drinking tea with His Royal Highness, and she is above board, why are you embarrassed to say it? They can let their daughters get pregnant unmarried, drink tea and other trivial things, the old lady thinks they will be embarrassed? Oh yes, I heard that the third young lady was found by the people of the Su Wangfu and brought back to the other courtyard, and now she is living with the Sixth Highness. I also heard that the child in her womb is fine, and it is still alive and well, which is really a blessing and a great life. Congratulations to the old lady for getting her wish and finally marrying the third granddaughter to His Royal Highness King Su. ”

When the old lady heard this, she couldn't tell what mood she was in.

It is said that Ye Hong's makeup is found and the child is fine, she should be happy. But the fact of living in King Su's courtyard made her faintly worried.

She heard Xiao Shi say that the child in the red makeup belly must be a boy, and only if it is a boy, their years of planning can make a comeback. So it has to be done well, even if it's not a boy, it has to be a boy.

Although she was not sure how to become a boy, she also knew that Xiao had a plan in this matter. But now that he is in the hands of the Sixth Highness, how should he plan this?

The old lady was unable to speak to Mu Shi anymore, so she waved her hand and ordered everyone to go back to their own rooms. As for the fact that in previous years, the family had to get together to eat at noon on Chinese New Year's Eve, but this year because of these circumstances, they could not eat together, and the next people saw that the old lady did not open their mouths, so it was not easy to open this mouth.

Until the next day, he was ready to leave the palace and go to the palace.

The palace banquet is set at the unitary time, and the official banquet has to be half a unitary hour, but the families have to go to the palace to rush to the palace. In addition to the hours of delay on the road, you have to count the hours of waiting at the gate of the palace.

So many people went to the palace banquet together, they couldn't just squeeze in, they had to enter one by one, and they had to hand over the post first, and wait for the palace people to see that there was no problem before they could be put into the palace.

Therefore, this amount of advance must be typed, not to mention that people also want to talk to each other by queuing up at the palace gate.

Because the old lady designated to bring Ye Chu Mercy, so this year's Chinese New Year's Eve, Ye Chu Mercy is particularly busy.

In previous years, there was no such thing, not to mention that it was not her turn to enter the palace, that is, at the family banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve, she and the Liu family also sat in the corners, and basically no one would think of their mother and daughter.

The house sent someone to bring new clothes early in the morning, saying that it was specially prepared for the palace banquet. also said a lot of auspicious words, all of which were used to compliment Miss Five, who had never been treated.

Until these people left, Ye Chulian looked at the newly delivered clothes, and then recalled those nice auspicious words just now, and remembered his omission: "Is there no reward?" Usually in this case, you have to give a reward, right? ”

The maid stomped her foot with joy: "Oh, the slave forgot it, or the slave will chase after it?" After speaking, he was a little embarrassed, "But Miss, we don't have anything that can appreciate people!" It is said that this New Year's holiday should be rewarded with silver, and it will be more than usual, but we have less silver in our hands, and we are all using it tightly, where is there any excess to reward people? ”

Ye Chulian's mood suddenly fell, and Liu hurriedly comforted: "Those who came are all old people in the mansion, so they naturally know what kind of situation we are in." Although it is much better now than before, it is only good on the surface, but there is no change on the inside, and even the case of silver is not more than before. Don't worry, no one picks on you, and when it really gets better in the future, just think about making up for it. It's been like this for so many years, and it's not bad this time or two. ”

Ye Chu smiled pitifully, "Yes, I've been like this for so many years, and I've never thought of resisting, so why aren't I convinced today?" In fact, it is still better than before, at least the money given by the government, no one can ask for it from me anymore. Unlike before, the front foot has just been silver, and the back foot is allowed to let the second lady's maid take half of it. The remaining half is not even enough to buy a line to be a female celebrity, so how to reward. That's it, that's it! ”

As she spoke, she opened the new dress, and after looking at it for a while, she felt that something was wrong, "This dress was not made for me, not my size and size." ”

Liu leaned over to take a closer look, and soon saw the problem: "It's really not your size and size, you're not so tall, and your arms aren't so long, it's like ......."

"It's like clothes for the third sister." Ye Chulian took over the words, "Among the girls in our generation, only the third sister is the tallest, so nine times out of ten, this dress is prepared for the third sister." She fumbled with the material, and it was very soft and smooth, a good material that she had never worn before.

"The clothes should have been made before the third sister's accident, when the grandfather and uncle had just passed away, they should have asked the third sister to marry in Zhang Luo's mansion. In addition to this dress, there must have been many, many pieces prepared, because the mother's family was in mourning, even if she was married, she could not wear red and green, and it was inconvenient to go to her mother-in-law's house to do it, so only her mother's family was ready to take it. I'm afraid that the third sister's brand-new plain clothes won't be worn in three years, and I may have to pick up the clothes she doesn't wear in the next three years. ”

Liu frowned and thought for a while, then comforted her and said, "No, it should be too late this year, so I found the third lady's clothes for you to wear." But since the family wants to cultivate you well, they must pay more attention to you, and this kind of thing will not happen again in the future. Not only will your clothes not be short, but there will certainly be an increase in silver. ”

Ye Chulian smiled and didn't say anything.

She really didn't miss these clothes, and it didn't matter if she had money or not, she was just looking forward to this palace banquet, because this was not only her first time entering the palace, but the most important thing was that she might be able to see the fourth highness again at the palace banquet.

People who have only watched it once are not sure if they like it in their hearts, but what if they have seen it twice? If you can say a few more words to that person, can you be sure that your heart can secretly promise?

Of course, it's useless to make a promise, that's His Royal Highness, it's the King of Dust, how can she covet it as a little concubine, it's not a joke for the world to see.

But as she said, people must have some yearning in this life, so that they can live a prosperous and hopeful life, and they can always spur themselves not to go astray and get better and better. and the frost in that person's eyes, it always has to be a person with sunshine in her heart to slowly melt, and she is willing to be the person with sunshine in her heart.

"Auntie, help me change it, I can't wear ill-fitting clothes into the palace, it will make people laugh." Ye Chulian was a little panicked, and pulled Sui Xi, "You are also together, the three of us can always rush out before leaving the house." ”

At the end of Izumo-in, the three of them were busy with a piece of clothing, but even so, it was still delayed......
