At night, King An's Mansion.

After bathing, Princess An, who was combing her hair, glanced at the female official who hurriedly walked into the house.

"How did you panic?"

The female official saluted, "Princess, princess... He ......"

Princess An's hand combing her hair paused, and after a while, she spoke: "Say it!" ”

"The prince drank a lot of wine and said, "I want to stay in Xiyan Courtyard tonight."

Princess Ann was stunned.

She smiled bitterly and said, "Arrange good people and take good care of the prince." ”

Officer: "Yes." ”

After the others left, Princess An sighed faintly, and then turned her head and asked her personal grandmother, "Is Ah Xian back?" ”

"The little boy is ready to rest in Moyun Hall."

Princess An laughed helplessly.

"This father and son are the same, obviously this is their home, but they always like to stay outside, and sometimes they don't want to come back."

She straightened her clothes before slowly standing up.

"I haven't seen him for a day, I miss him, let's go."

"Yes."

Moyuntang.

"Break it down a bit."

"Ah Qi, why can't you even compare to half of Sister Xixi, every time she breaks carbon blocks, there will be a suitable one at most twice."

"Alright, let's do two."

"Hurry up and put it up."

Princess An looked back at Mama, her eyes full of doubts, what are they doing?

Mama shook her head, indicating that she didn't know.

Yuan Qi suddenly scolded: "Who's outside?!" If you don't come out again, I'm welcome. ”

Princess Ann: "It's this princess." ”

Yuan Qi, who was ready to rush out and beat people: "......"

Seconds.

He hurriedly saluted, "The princess is well." ”

The little chubby dun had already trotted in front of Princess An, hugging her legs hard, "Mother, it's so late, why are you here?" It's so cold, what if it's freezing? ”

Listening to his heart-warming words, Princess An's heart was sweet.

The haunting depression has also dissipated a little.

"But I can't find out your secret, you also know that it's cold, and you're still staying outside at such a late hour, how do the people who serve do things?!"

Princess An glared fiercely at the others in the courtyard.

"It's Ah Xian who wants to surprise his mother, don't be angry, okay?" Little Chubby Dun blinked and looked at Princess An pitifully.

If Lin Yu'an sees it, he may sigh again, they are all acting schools.

"Surprise? What surprises? ”

"Mother, please come with me."

Little Fat Dun took Princess An's hand, came to the four snowmen, and happily introduced: "This is the father, this is the mother, these two are the elder brother and Ah Xian!" ”

Princess An looked at the two little snowmen leaning together, and her mood was very complicated.

"Does Ah Xian like your brother very much?"

Little Fat Dun immediately shouted without thinking: "I like it!" ”

"Really?"

Princess An touched her son's little head and fell into deep thought.

After a while, the little chubby dun raised his head suspiciously.

"Mother?"

Princess An reluctantly smiled, "It's not too early, your hands are frozen red, now go to sleep!" If you get sick, you won't be allowed to go out in the future. ”

Chubby pouted, but finally agreed.

"Oh."

It's New Year's Eve in the blink of an eye.

Since Lin Yu'an was canonized as a township monarch, Xiaoxi's father-in-law appeared in the Lin family many times with rewards, and the rumors that General Yun was about to resurrect became more and more intense.

Even if the Lin family is at a funeral, there are constantly people who come to the door by giving New Year's gifts.

But the rumors are just rumors in the end, and there is no actual action on Emperor Jin Rui's side.

Coupled with the reward, almost all the officials in the capital got it, and this matter gradually became less special.

When the news spread that someone in Linjiazhuang had developed soybean oil and was exceptionally named a Jiupin craftsman, the number of people who came to the door gradually decreased.

Lin Yu'an can also be regarded as having seen the warmth and coldness of the world.

However, without the people who came to the door, the atmosphere in the village began to liven up.

In the kitchen.

Xixi and Little Fat Dun sat obediently and listened to Lin Yu'an tell them about the New Year.

"Today is the twenty-third day of the lunar month, which is commonly known as the "small year", and the legend says that 'the king of the stove will go to heaven', so we want to sacrifice the stove with sugar melon. ”

Lin Yu'an pointed to the maltose and various dried fruits on the board.

Xixi: "Sacrificial stove? ”

She glanced at the bowl of maltose, which she had made herself!

The little chubby dun was also confused.

Usually during the New Year, they enter the palace on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve and have a reunion dinner with Emperor Jin Rui, and there may be related activities in the mansion, but no one has explained to him why they do this.

Lin Yu'an was stunned.

"You didn't hear the story of the Stove King?"

The two little ones shook their heads in unison.

Lin Yu sighed in his heart, isn't there such a custom here?

But when she was making maltose yesterday, Aunt Qian didn't say anything, and asked her if she wanted to make sacrificial sugar melons?

"Hongling, you... Don't you know either? ”

Lin Yu'an was afraid that someone would catch her pigtails, so she had to look at Hongling on the side.

"I know."

Hong Ling nodded.

Lin Yu'an breathed a sigh of relief instantly, but she was also a little afraid that the story she told was different from the one circulating here, so she asked Hongling to help tell it.

Recently, she "accidentally" made bean sprouts and soap, and she can't be in the limelight anymore for the time being!

Hongling was stunned, so she smiled and told them the story of the Stove King.

Legend has it that the prince of the stove is called Zhang Sheng, and his family is very rich, but he is lazy to eat and eat, and he always dislikes the virtuous original partner and can't have children, and finally divorces her.

But his later bride was not a diligent either.

The two of them sat and ate like this, and finally the family business was ruined, and Zhang Sheng starved to death, and Zhang Sheng could only live by begging.

One day, Zhang Sheng begged for food and met the original partner, and after the two met, Zhang Sheng was very ashamed, so he plunged into the stove pit and was burned to death by the stove fire.

Little Fat Dun said angrily: "Doesn't he hurt his original partner again by doing this?" ”

Recently, he was looking at the case file that his brother had brought back, and there was a similar case in which the man from the main family was sentenced to exile.

Hongling was so frightened that she didn't know whether to continue.

Lin Yu'an smiled and said, "This is a story, do you want to listen to it?" ”

"Yes!"

Hongling had no choice but to continue.

After ascending to heaven, Zhang Sheng confessed his mistake to the Jade Emperor, and was named the Lord of the Stove. He would return to the Heavenly Palace on the 23rd day of the lunar month every year to reunite with the Jade Emperor and report on the family's actions during the year.

Then the Jade Emperor will reward the good and punish the evil for that family according to the content of these reports.

Xi Xi suddenly burst out, "Imperial Doctor Zhou! ”

"Yes!"

Chubby nodded cooperatively.

Lin Yu'an was stunned.

"Why did you mention him all of a sudden?"

Two days ago, Imperial Doctor Zhou suddenly announced that he was seriously ill and was dying, and hoped that the children and grandchildren of the Zhou family would come back as soon as possible, and maybe they would be able to see each other for the last time.

Rumors of this matter are spreading.

It is estimated that it will not be long before the people of the entire Great Jin Kingdom can receive the news.

It's just that...... She only met Imperial Doctor Zhou yesterday, and he looked good at the time, and he felt that it would not be a problem to live for more than ten years.
