The seventeenth day of the lunar month.

Early in the morning, I was woken up, and it turned out that the second sister Chengjing and the sixth sister Chengwan quarreled, because the two of them did not let each other in the order of fetching water......

Hibiscus put on plain clothes for me, and I didn't bring anything about the noodles, and I don't know what to think, but it's obviously the big festival that also filled me with a lot of noodles, and the box was empty to contain some food.

"Haven't you been able to tell the before and after? It's been arguing for half an hour, right? Did the maid who delivered the meal come? ”

"I've been here once, and I said that I had been going to eat in the big cafeteria in the middle since noon today. You were still asleep when breakfast was delivered, and I was warm on the stove. The craftsmanship of the palace chef is still good, and the dishes fried in vegetable oil are also good. Yesterday's boiled dishes were just the norm. The steamed rice is also steamed according to your preference and is on the firm side. Very chewy. ”

"Everyone but the old lady likes chewy rice, and they steam it hard because it's lazy! Lazy! Lazy! And how can the Chinese cabbage fried in vegetable oil be delicious, and there is obviously a smell of raw oil! The oil is not cooked! ”

"Bear with me, I'll find you a snack later."

"Keep the door shut, don't let them find out, count on these snacks, the last three days of fasting and lunch without food, I guess I won't be able to get up on the day of the festival if I don't eat something."

"When you fell asleep, Mama sent someone over to deliver some things, and passed the word, saying that the concubines were fasting in another courtyard, and they all hid their own food, you don't have to be careful, even if you find it, it's nothing."

"I'm afraid that I won't be able to hide it, and they will rob me...... The second child who lives in the courtyard at the front ...... I haven't found anyone to live here, you wait for them to find me to live here, my snacks can't be hidden, especially the fifth ...... The nose is tricky. Speaking of noses...... I haven't seen the dark incense in a while......"

"When the festival is over, you can take it to the mountains to hunt rabbits."

"That's all there is to it...... At the end of each year, my purse is reduced to my heart...... "I sat in front of the dresser, flipped through the "Western Xinjiang Rites", looked twice, and found that it was similar to this side, and it was also fasting in advance, offering speeches on the same day, offering offerings, worshiping the ancestors of the gods, sacrificing wine, burning sacrifices, and then offering speeches, worshipping the ministers, and then sending the ancestors of the gods, and finally the superior was bowed down by the ministers......

"It looks pretty simple...... Think about it...... my hair is going to be tired and bleeding," I sighed, "and bring the book from Nanjiang." ”

Mu Hibiscus got up again and turned out the etiquette of southern Xinjiang for me.

The rituals in southern Xinjiang are somewhat barbaric...... Sometimes they have to kill...... That's a little inhumane, if not murderous...... I flipped two pages and threw it to the hibiscus...... "It's too bloody, and I need a bloody sacrifice......"

"Have you never seen the sacrifice of a small country farther away than southern Xinjiang, it is more bloody, southern Xinjiang only uses livestock, and some places use prisoners to ......" Mu Hibiscus said while wiping the hand stove, and then thought for a while, "Hand stove, I only brought four, a little insufficient, I should listen to the eighth year of the first month, bring a few more...... I remember how many more she seemed to have put in and in which box? There were two boxes that I didn't pack, but should have been in the ......" Hibiscus put a hand stove with charcoal in my arms, and went to find the others.

"That's enough." I wondered, "You were cold last night?"

Mu Hibiscus was afraid that I would not sleep well, so she piled up a small bed with boxes and laid out the bedding, and last night I forced her to put charcoal on the hand stove to warm her quilts.

"Your feet are still a little icy, and a hand stove isn't hot enough." Hibiscus rummaging through jewelry boxes.

"It's not that there are still futons, just cover my feet with more."

"Do you want to eat something now?" Hibiscus took out a cloth bag, opened the cloth, and then opened the oil cloth bag, which was filled with plum blossom cakes, and there were four pieces.

"Quick, let's split the door, can you plug in the door?"

Mu Hibiscus stretched out his hand and handed it to me, "You eat slowly, no one grabbed it, I ate the fasting meal made by the cooks in the morning, otherwise how do I know that it tastes good?"

"I'll eat two pieces, leave two pieces for you, and then bring me Wen's fasting later, and if you don't eat anything from your ancestors, you will be blamed......" I finished eating two or three bites, and gave the rest to her.

The hibiscus was wrapped in an oilcloth bag and put it back again, and then another large box was opened, and a hand stove was found.

"Are you mistaken, how many hand stoves did you really put in the eighth day of the first month? Otherwise, don't look for it, just put on more quilts at night. ”

"I found it, and sure enough, I thought about it thoughtfully."

"She, who has been running around with me for several years, can't learn and watch it, and has been running on the road for the past few years......" I sighed, with some emotion, "It's just that at that time she showed her appearance, I always thought it was a boy, not much flirtatious, I have always been a girl in May...... I knew ...... earlier."

"Imperial Sister—" The fifth brother's voice sounded outside the door.

"Hide, hide!" I quickly helped Hibiscus close the box, and then sat back at the dresser with the porridge that Hibiscus had brought me.

It was quiet outside, and it seemed that enough noise had been made.
