After noon on the sixteenth day of the lunar month, enter the palace and fast.

Yu Junshen came to pick it up, looking at my serious appearance, I almost didn't hold back, my expression began to be a little trance, and then the corners of my mouth couldn't help but rise.

"Bao, today is very dignified." Yu Junshen finally spoke.

I held my head high, ignored his outstretched hand, and helped the eighth year to the frame, followed by hibiscus.

The winter robe is a bit cumbersome and heavy, I asked the hibiscus to collect some chicken and duck down feathers to prepare, and I haven't saved enough a cloak yet, and the eighth year of the first year said that I will leave it to her to do, saying that when I come back, she must have saved enough to make me a set of cotton clothes.

"Make it for me." I suppressed my voice and said, "I'm going to wear it when I come out." ”

"Yes." The eighth day of the new year should be answered.

The frame set off, the curtain was folded on the eighth day of the first month, and he jumped out of the car. Hibiscus helped me straighten my hem.

"How many sets of clothes did you bring?"

"More than twenty sets." Hibiscus said, pulling my sleeve.

"Hopefully enough." I sighed.

"Don't stretch too tightly, your shoulders are a little stiff."

"I'm not too tight, you rarely see me on big occasions? I'm struggling...... "I shook my head, "I'm going to die, and I have to carry so much jewelry, it's very heavy!" ”

Hibiscus quickly got up and rubbed my shoulders and neck.

The weight of the hibiscus is so good that if it weren't for the wrong timing, I would have wanted to sleep on my stomach.

"Are you better?"

"It's much better, okay, you can rest, it's time to enter the palace."

——————

"It's time to get to the palace gate," Yu Junshen said, "I'll change the chamberlain next, I'll visit you later." ”

"You're busy with your go." I sat in the frame in a dignified manner and didn't dare to move.

Yu Jun cautiously lifted the corner of the car curtain and smiled when he saw me sitting upright. I squinted and gave him a roll of the eye. Hibiscus coughed in a low voice, "Be careful!" ”

Yu Jun made a big gift and sent the frame into the palace gate.

The leading chamberlain led the frame, and the rest took over the car that followed in the house, slowly checked, and waited for a long time before starting to set off again.

Not long after, the second sister also came, and the salute was only a lot more......

——————I was placed in the palace where my father was said to have lived many years ago, where he had lived in fear and plotting how to save his life and how to escape.

I felt the knife marks carved on the pillar and recognized them word by word. The highest thing I can touch is this sentence: Tianxiang has been enjoying eighteen years, Su'er is two years old and late, and when she enters Beijing, she is very happy.

In the seventeenth year of Tianxiang, Su'er will run first, and she is very worried, afraid that my wife will not be able to catch it alone.

I have been enjoying sixteen years, my wife is pregnant, I am very frightened, I am not around, I am very anxious.

Ten years of heavenly enjoyment, seeing off the eldest brother, was punished so far.

After three years of enjoying the sky, Brother Eleven went to Xinjiang as a proton, and he was not happy, so he volunteered to be here for one night.

After three years of enjoyment, he stepped on the skirt of his father's favorite concubine and was punished for one night.

After three years of enjoying the day, he played with Brother Eleven and dismantled the master's chair, and was punished for one night.

After three years of enjoying the day, he played with Brother Eleven and burned a study, and was punished for three days.

After three years of enjoying the sky, he played with Brother Eleven and knocked down a courtier, and was punished for one night.

After three years of enjoying the day, he lost a fight with the twelfth brother and was punished for five nights to be the companion of the eleventh brother.

After three years of heavenly enjoyment, he won the fight with the twelfth brother, and was punished for one night.

.......

Hibiscus commanded the attendants to clean up, but it was actually quite clean, with only a wooden bed and nothing else...... The attendants brought in the boxes they had brought in from the house, and Hibiscus commanded, and when the washbasin and dresser were placed, there was almost no room to put their feet in the room......

"There are countless such rooms in the front and back of this courtyard, there are six in this row alone, we are in the second row, and the fourth in the east, princess, don't be mistaken." The attendant interrupted my musings, and I touched the bottom line of words - my father could no longer say that I could not read my words, and he did not carve them very well when he was a child.

The attendant retreated, but Hibiscus stopped him and asked some daily questions - what time to get food, what time to collect the sack, what time to go out, what time to close the hospital...... By the time everything was asked, I was a little hungry.

"Did the cook prepare some snacks for me?"

Mu Hibiscus cautiously watched the attendant leave the courtyard before closing the door, "It's ready, it's a lot, it's all for a long time." It was wrapped in oilcloth paper and hidden in these boxes. Hibiscus pointed to the boxes that filled the room, "And your herbal ...... for the past few days."

Belch...... Herbs can be said without saying......

"What's in these big boxes, so many."

"Several boxes of charcoal." Mu Hibiscus said, "There doesn't seem to be a dragon here, I inquired, so I asked people to prepare more charcoal, and there are several stoves, this house is not well closed, and a few more stoves are not afraid of charcoal poison." ”

"Is the place where the water is fetched far from here?"

"In this courtyard, in the southwest corner, there is a small wheel, the wellhead is very small, only the bucket is up and down, and it seems that the bucket is not very large."

"Prepare water, when my sisters come, and some young ladies of the great official family who have received grace and can participate in the big festival come, they will have to squeeze, do you have buckets?"

"The bucket is ready, but it doesn't look big enough, I'll go find a bigger one, you can't lack hot water." As he spoke, Hibiscus took out his purse, pushed open the door and left.

I estimate that there are more than twenty people, and there are twenty or thirty small rooms in the palace courtyard next to this altar, all of which are for the people who attend the ceremony, and although my father's relatives have almost been killed by my grandfather, I still have a few aunts, and most of their sons are still alive—they should be almost all here tomorrow at the latest.

Calculate, what a bunch of people, I'd better not cause trouble in the past two days, and I can't find trouble for my beautiful mother, otherwise Mama Gong will have to peel off my skin......

Hibiscus came back quickly, carrying a barrel in one hand. I laughed, "Why are you so hard, aren't you tired?" One is enough. ”

Hibiscus glared at me, "Don't talk about freshening up in the morning and evening, you have to cook the decoction three times a day, and you can't do it if there is less water!" ”

"I brought you the Book of Rites, you sit and read the book, and I will boil you soup and medicine after filling it with water."

"What other books did you bring with you besides The Book of Rites?"

"The Chronicle of the Celebration of the Kingdom."

“and？ Belch...... And also? ”

"You can pick one copy of "Southern Xinjiang Essentials" and "Western Xinjiang Essentials"." Mu Hibiscus carried a bucket out of the house, "There is also a book about the rites of the western Xinjiang and the southern suburbs, I don't remember the title, together with you, you can find it yourself." ”

Just as he was about to complain, there was a knock on the window, and Yu Junshen's voice sounded, "Bao, is there anything you forgot to bring in a shortage?" ”

Through the window, I said, "Let's go and fetch water for the hibiscus first." ”

...... "Why don't you open the window to breathe?" ”

"No dragon, cold, wind."
