Chapter 76

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, the people of the Qin Tianjian of the Ministry of Rites came to the door, because the third brother presided over the ancestral temple sacrifice on the twenty-third of this year, so some rules are different, and the ranking of the stations with the title is different. The crown prince presided over the festival, and the handsome father was only responsible for the position, and the sacrifice ceremony was carried out by the third brother - so the third brother would be very tired that day, in view of the years of physical exercise - the first year of the new year said: "His Royal Highness Chengqing has good martial arts." "I think there should be no problem with the ancestor worship process, but the heavenly official told me that I also had to fast for three days, and my whole person was not good......

This is also the reason why the heavenly officials came to the door--- therefore, I have to go to the ancestral temple to eat and live in the first seven days, and I have to fast from the nineteenth day of the lunar month, and I don't eat at noon--- I don't guarantee that I can run the whole process on the day of worshipping my ancestors...... After a few days, the --- still have to fast in the ancestral temple...... Seven days, but I didn't eat for the next three days......

The most recent ancestor worship is the time when the handsome father ascended the throne, and then the whole family Qingming incense, and did not work to move the public, this year is the prince, this kind of major event is to report to the ancestors......

The heavenly official said, "The princess's sacrificial robe has already been prepared, and in a few days you can go directly to the palace and stay in the fasting house, and you can bring a maid to take care of your daily life, and follow the fast as well." ”

I want my own life, but when I think of my handsome father and beautiful mother, as well as all the sisters, and some of the only remaining uncles--- my heart is balanced again, yes, all the family members are without exception.

I asked the Qing Tianguan about the ancestor worship process, and I was relieved to find out that I had nothing else to do except standing.

I personally sent Tianguan out of the gate, and watched him ride away on horseback, and I was deeply depressed - seven days of meatless food, how can I live - from now on, I want to eat big fish and meat every day, and eat myself the best, so that those seven days are just vegetarian and scrape oil...... Waving, "Crystal elbows, pork in sauce, braised pork ribs, fried meatballs...... Hurry up, do it, and eat this at noon today. No, I ate this every day for the past few days before entering the palace! ”

Otoku hurried to the kitchen to report the news.

Hibiscus disagreed, "Princess, the decoction should not be greasy. ”

"Do you think Chef Zhou will make it oily? Rest assured. ”

Hachihachi also nodded at her.

When I returned to the study of Suyuan, I read two account books from last month, and the porter came to report - the sixth princess asked to see her.

took two account books and went to the cherry blossom garden to meet guests, and suddenly remembered something, "May, where did you put the son of the martyr?" Didn't you send it back to the original Childe's Pavilion? ”

May showed up, "It's sent back." ”

"So what is she doing here?" Said blandly.

————

"Sister Huang is fine."

"Did you come to my house to eat again? Yes, but the cook that day is gone. ”

The sixth sister blushed, "Sister Huang laughed at me, I'm just here to eat and drink." ”

"The cook that day was really gone, so he came to be a cook for a few days."

"That's a pity." The sixth sister nodded, "The meal that day was really delicious. ”

"yes, I think it's delicious, but it's a pity...... But today I sent a message to make a hard dish, you can stay for a while. ”

The sixth sister didn't start to hesitate, "Sister Huang, I-"

"Say it, I know that you have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace."

"I want to redeem my life."

"Okay, I'll keep it secret for you, and I won't tell your second sister."

"But I don't have any money......"

"It's a pity, I don't have any more, you know, I bought five and came back...... I can't even think about managing the middle feed in my house......"

Chu Hachi nodded slightly on the side, no need to hide it, I saw it all...... It's useless for you to bow your head on the eighth day of junior high school - is it really difficult to feed in the middle of the house?

The sixth sister was stunned, her eyes were a little red, "I just want to borrow two thousand taels-"

"This is your month's silver for a year, and you didn't save it in previous years?"

"I have more than 1,000 taels on hand, and I have to buy a house for the son of Pin Dead." The sixth sister replied in a low voice.

"Do you have any valuable things that you can't use, I want to sell them for you, such as antique calligraphy and paintings."

The sixth sister was dazed and shook her head.

It's not open yet, so it's just not easy to do. The eighth day of junior high school whispered to me: "You can borrow, put a long line, and catch big fish." ”

"I can lend you a thousand taels, and the person in charge of my family just said that he can draw out a thousand taels." I said, "Write an IOU." ”

"Okay." The sixth sister is very refreshing.

Hibiscus went to get a pen and paper.

"It says that you will repay me one hundred and twenty taels every month, and ten months in a row, starting from next month, you must prepare silver taels for the first three days of each month, and I will ask you for it."

The sixth sister is stupid.

"Two hundred taels of profit, isn't it? Ten months to pay off, if you pay off in advance, the remaining twenty taels per month do not have to be repaid, clear? For example, if you have paid it back for two months, and if you have the remaining eight months to pay it back together, you can pay me back 800 taels, and I don't want the 20 taels that month, and my relatives have discounts. ”

I paused, "Got it?" ”

The sixth sister glanced at ten lines and finished reading: "Understood." He took the pen and paper, signed his name with a brush, and took out his private seal from his arms and stamped it.

Very good, on the road.

"If it's not enough, I'll help you make it up."

"Okay, if I can't get it together tomorrow, I'll bother the imperial sister again." The sixth sister took the wooden box handed over by the eighth day of the first month, opened it and took a look, and counted it again, "The number is right, thank you Sister Huang, I'm going to raise money." As he spoke, he saluted, and took his leave.

"Walk slowly, don't send." I am happy. According to the consumption habits of the sixth sister, uh, it should be impossible to repay the loan in advance and earn two hundred taels, not bad, not bad.

The eighth year of the first month bowed his head and was silent. Yi Que crossed his fingers and was still counting the digital accounts in the IOU.

Mu Hibiscus was a little worried, "Wouldn't it be bad for this to reach Concubine Xian's ears?" ”

"What's wrong? Is it bad to lend her money, should you give her for nothing? ”

"Not so." Hibiscus hesitated.

"Shouldn't you lend him two pieces of silver?"

Hibiscus nodded.

"I don't lend it to her, I don't know what rumors she has made, it's enough for the royal family to have an unreliable me to entertain people, and I can't have one more princess who entertains people after dinner."

"I'm afraid that it will be even worse in the future." The eighth day of the first month opens.

"No, Concubine Xian is not a vegetarian." I laughed.
