Wu Shilu ate a few bites of dim sum before he spoke: "Taichang Temple seems to be a ceremony like the Ministry of Rites?" The Ministry of Rites is in charge of people, and they seem to be in charge of the rituals related to the sun, moon and stars. ”

Her reply was not confident, and even raised in a faint voice of doubt.

"I didn't take the initiative to learn about it. If you really want to know, you can only look it up yourself, or ask your brother. ”

"Okay." Wu Shilu has always been uninterested in government affairs and functions, and Situ Ran knows that there is no other useful news to continue to ask about this matter.

"Ah, yes. Recently, Taichang Temple is preparing for the spring festival of the coming year, blessing the coming year's wind and rain, and the peace of the country and the people. ”

Situ Ran and Li Jiangwei looked at each other almost at the same time.

This spring festival is most likely a remnant of the ancient sacrifice. Now the practical meaning has faded, and it is more of a symbol to welcome the new year.

"Spring Festival?" Li Jiangyun said with emotion: "I don't know if the eldest sister wants to help." ”

"When the spring festival begins, you're going to leave for Chizhou?"

Facing Wu Shilu's inquiry, Li Jiangyun nodded.

"Your family is really powerful, a female son, a female companion, and a female student." Wu Shilu said: "Do you know how many waves your family has set off in the capital?" As far as I know, the women of several families have been sent to study with their brothers. Even my grandfather was moved! ”

"You definitely didn't go."

Wu Shilu glanced at Li Jiangyun and said confidently: "Of course I won't go." I thought about opening a dim sum shop and running a storytelling tea house in the future. Whether you marry someone or take the imperial examination, it has nothing to do with me. ”

Wu Shilu's searching gaze fell on Li Jiangyun, and then he laughed twice, which made Li Jiangyun a little creepy.

"Speaking of this trend, it has to do with your fiancé. Say! When did you hook up with Feng Guixiao? After you went to Chizhou, that guy actually spoke for you! That kind of unsympathetic guy will actually speak for you! ”

"Thin affection...... Injustice? ”

"Sister Yun still doesn't know? Before, he drove a concubine who had served for many years out of the house and gave nothing. If they were all driven out of the house, I would be a man, and only one old man would be driven out. ”

Li Jiangyun was eating snacks, as if she was listening to the trivial matters of other family members, and she didn't care at all.

"Aren't you afraid? What does he do to you? ”

"What is there for him to be afraid of? My marriage with the Feng family has nothing to do with him, what matters is the attitude of the Feng family itself. I got married, but I just changed my place. ”

"Yes, too...... If you really become an official of the court and become a celebrity next to the imperial concubine, even if that prodigal wants to do something to you, you must take care of the imperial concubine's face. ”

He shouldn't be so bold as to move his sister...... Li Jiangwei scolded in her stomach, and it was too late to coax.

With a glance in her eyes, seeing that her sister was unmoved, Li Jiangwei sighed helplessly for someone. It's good that this kind of thing is natural, as long as her sister is not wronged, she doesn't want to meddle in things.

"Say it in advance, you won't be able to find me after today. I'm going to go into retreat and come out after twenty-eight. The school entrance examination is in the late spring, and the time is tight. ”

"Okay......" Wu Shilu said regretfully: "It seems that you can't accompany me when you come back." I'd better save some money and open my teahouse earlier. ”

"This is a clear sign of stealing business with the Zhuyin Pavilion." Situ Ran sighed, "Aren't you afraid of losing money?" ”

"I can't beat it, can't I invest in shares? I remember that Rose knew the owner of the Bamboo Sound Pavilion! You help me say it! ”

Li Jiangwei nodded lightly and accepted the commission.

The girls' families chatted about some trivial matters at home and on the road, and dispersed before dark. Looking at the qin book that was cleaning up the table, Li Jiangwei remembered that the name of the qin book was still hanging in Qingxue Courtyard.

Bidding farewell to Li Jiangyun, Li Jiangwei, who walked out of Xiaoxiang Courtyard, went straight to Rongyueju. The night was heavy, and Li Jiangwei wrapped the cloak on her body tightly, still feeling the chill hitting people, and she didn't feel shivering.

Li Jiangwei, who is accustomed to the warm weather in the south, especially in Fuyang, will still not be able to adapt to the cold air of the capital for a while.

Li Xin was worried, and happened to pass by Qingxue Courtyard, she hurriedly said, "I'll go and help Miss get a hand stove!" Miss may wish to wait under the porch. ”

"Go ahead."

In the short time of waiting, Li Jiangwei happened to meet Li Jiangsheng who was returning home. He was slightly stunned and rubbed his temples.

"Yes, you're back."

The person in front of him was a little different from the light and breezy Li Jiangsheng before Li Jiangwei left Beijing, and he was even more haggard and unfocused.

"Third brother?"

"There have been a lot of affairs these days, and I don't have time to take care of you and my fifth sister."

Throwing these words, Li Jiangsheng left in a hurry, leaving a back. After a while, Lixin brought the hand stove, and the master and servant continued to Rongyue Residence.

Li Jiangwei's relationship with the Qian family is not good, and it is no secret that she is among the servants. At this moment, seeing Li Jiangwei's visit, everyone was surprised and sharpened their heads to know the meaning of this fourth young lady.

Li Jiangwei raised her eyebrows impatiently, and was irritated when she heard the chaotic sound outside.

"The daughter has seen her mother." Li Jiangwei bent down and saluted the Qian family, "How is my mother doing?" ”

Li Yueran went out to drink with his colleagues tonight, and he was not in Rongyue House. Qian waved his hand and dismissed the subordinates who were waiting around.

"You never come to my Rongyue Residence when you have nothing to do, why did you come to visit this time?"

"Mother still remembers that the fifth sister asked the girl in Qinshu to be recorded in the name of Qingxue Yuan before leaving?"

"I remember."

"I came today in the hope that my mother can make the piano book go back to Xiaoxiang Courtyard."

Qian tilted his body and knocked on his temple.

"It seems that the mother is very sad these days, it is better for her daughter to share one or two for you."

Qian frowned and looked at Li Jiangwei unhappily.

"What ideas do you have?"

"The mother is worried about the expenses of the house, and in this case, the daughter will leave the expenses of Xiaoxiang Courtyard and Qingxue Courtyard for her mother. Whether it is food and the maids' money, it is borne by the daughter, but there is one condition, the mother cannot meddle in the affairs of Qingxue Courtyard and Xiaoxiang Courtyard in the future. ”

"It's not like you're burdened, it's like you're here to threaten me."

"Mother, the subordinates of Rongyueju are becoming more and more ignorant. The main family is talking here, everyone wants to listen to the excitement, and the rules are left behind. When is the mother going to discipline? ”

"It has nothing to do with you, you concentrate on studying, studying, and serving by the side of the imperial concubine. You don't have to worry about money! ”

"Mother." Li Jiangwei covered her mouth, revealing curved eyebrows, "Mother is expecting the emperor to send another reward?" That kind of ethereal reward can't solve the family's predicament. ”

"This is your home!" Qian slapped the table next to him vigorously, and the slap shook the sky, "This is your home!" ”

"I just wanted to maintain the only dignity in my family, so I made this idea for my mother. For the next few days, my sister and I struggled to find time to attend to household chores. ”

Li Jiangwei respectfully saluted the Qian family and said, "I hope my mother will be fulfilled." ”
