This is the second year after Xie Ruoyi became Fu Zhangzhu, and unlike last year's desertion in Jingci Nunnery, the Du family was full of lights and laughter.

Soon after breakfast, the Du family opened the ancestral hall of the men, women and children to worship, the ancestral hall hung the portraits of the ancestors of the Du family, the eyes of the palm beads fell on the painting of her grandfather Du Biao, the portrait of Du Biao was wearing a military uniform, a look of grandeur, majestic appearance, but a bit of the appearance of the grandfather of the Xie family.

Mrs. Du specially allowed Zhangzhu to set up an altar in the Agarwood Garden to worship her deceased parents, and Zhangzhu ordered people to put incense and candles, and put offerings such as wine, meat, melons and fruits, and she also sincerely worshipped incense. When burning paper money, two piles were deliberately burned, one for the ancestors of the Fu family, and the other for the Xie family.

After the sacrifice was over, everyone went to the old lady to have fun. Because her children and grandchildren were in front of her, the old lady was very happy, wearing a stone blue satin jacket, covered with a silver ratskin silk gown, and wearing a fox fur lying rabbit on her head, and a pigeon-egg-sized red treasure embedded in the middle of the sleeping rabbit, which lined the skin on the old lady's face white and red, and looked very energetic.

The juniors all sat beside the old lady, and the old lady was holding Yun Sheng's month-old child in her arms, which was the youngest great-grandson of the old lady.

She teased the child for a while, and then laughed with Yun Zhao: "Wait two years at most, I should hold your child." ”

Yun Zhao just smiled and didn't refute.

Having a reunion dinner, setting off fireworks and firecrackers, there are not many children in the family, and Sister Qing was taken to play by a few older sisters in the next room.

Such a lively scene made Zhangzhu a little nostalgic for the time when he was still in the General's Mansion, when there was a lively family, but now only Ruolan is left.

Thinking of Ruolan Zhangzhu, I couldn't help but be a little worried, if their sisters wanted to be able to spend this life smoothly, the affairs of the Xie family had to be solved first.

It can't be delayed any longer, and the money in her hand is enough to get a foothold in the capital. When the spring flowers bloom, she must set off, and she can't hide in Shoufeng for the rest of her life.

Wait until the Xie family's unjust case is cleared, and she will come back to pick up Ruolan. Ruolan's expression when she looked at Chu Yuanzhen once again appeared in Zhangzhu's mind, and now she only begged Chu Yuanzhen to treat her Ruolan well.

Fu Zhangzhu was full of thoughts, and suddenly heard a loud bang at this moment, and a golden fireworks bloomed in the night, the light of the fireworks illuminated the eyes of Zhangzhu, and the fire in front of her was like the brightest star in the sky to guide her, and this splendor in the dark night made her no longer confused, so that she could continue to move forward despite danger.

After watching the fireworks, everyone went to the old lady's room again, and Mrs. Du was still very energetic, and gave the juniors the New Year's money. The rules here are that only unmarried people have New Year's money. Du Yunzhao is the oldest of the unmarried, and when Mrs. Du put an embroidered purse on Yun Zhao's hand, Du Yunzhao smiled and said: "It's embarrassing to take the New Year's money at such an old age." ”

Yun Sheng teased: "You feel embarrassed to give me your purse." ”

Where is Yun Zhao willing, Zhangzhu and Yunying sisters also get a purse each, but the three aunts said otherwise, the second uncle Lin and Zhangzhu said: "The cake you made tastes really good." I ate three pieces in a row. ”

When Zhangzhu heard this, he replied, "As long as the second aunt likes it." ”

Seeing the old lady yawning, Mrs. Yao hurriedly comforted: "The old lady should go to sleep, don't keep the New Year when you are so old." It's good to have juniors watching. ”

Old Madam Du was indeed tired, she glanced at Zhangzhu and the others: "You should also go to sleep, and pay attention to the lights everywhere." Tomorrow, let's continue to be lively. ”

After the old lady left, everyone returned to their rooms.

There were still firecrackers rumbling outside, and Zhangzhu had no intention of sleeping, she took out her little official suitcase and slowly counted her property. ”

Zhangzhu didn't look at her, grabbed a handful of money from the box and stuffed it into her hand, and said, "This is New Year's money, you can take it and divide it." ”

Bao Yan got the money, he liked not to be in front of him, and he went out.

Palm beads looked at the copper plates, scattered silver, and a roll of silver tickets in the box. The purses I got tonight were filled with gold and silver bills, and they would weigh a few pennies if they were melted.

There is no problem with this money to support her in the capital, and it is not in vain that she has worked hard for a year to accumulate slowly.

After taking stock of the property, Zhangzhu locked the box and put it back in its place.

Lying in the warm bed, her ears are full of rumbling sounds near and far, and she doesn't know where to spend next year's Chinese New Year's Eve. It has been a year since she came to Shoufeng from Jingci'an, and in this year she did what she wanted to do, and she also earned a sum of money with her own skills, and the most important thing was to find Ruolan, which is more important than anything else for Zhangzhu.

The tenth year of Yuanjia is about to come to an end, and I hope that the eleventh year of Yuanjia can be a peaceful year.

Until the eyelids couldn't open, the palm beads gradually fell asleep.

On the first day of the first month of the eleventh year of Yuanjia, this day is the Spring Festival, and the beginning of the new year brings a new atmosphere.

Zhangzhu got up early in the morning, Caiyuan and Xiuluan came in and combed her hair with Zhangzhu, Caiyuan changed a set of pomegranate red skirt and palm-beads, Xiuluan combed her hair with Zhangzhu, she was skillful, and she gave Zhangzhu a delicate bun in a few clicks. Bao Yan opened the box, from which took out the peacock hairpin with a little emerald, but the palm beads felt that the peacock hairpin was too public, and took it down by herself, Bao Yan knew her intentions, and took three plum blossom hairpins with red gold inlaid treasures and put them on.

Cai Kite looked at it and smiled and said: "These three little hairpins are inconspicuous, the second wife sent a few palace flowers, it is better to take another one and put it on." ”

Xiuluan hurriedly said, "That's a good idea. She opened a round brocade box, and sure enough, there were four palace flowers piled up with yarn, and Bao Yan took a big red one and put it on with her palm beads.

After tidying up, the maids accompanied her to the Qingyin Pavilion, and Mrs. Du took a closer look at the palm beads, and she was very satisfied with the palm beads today.

"For the New Year, you have to dress festively to look good, and in the past, you were dressed too plainly, where did you look like a boudoir lady."

Zhangzhu only smiled slightly at his grandmother's words.

Yun Ying caught a glimpse of the palm bead and smiled, and gently shook Yun Lan on the side, and Yun Lan giggled even more.

Grandma Meng came and said: "A few days ago, the princess made a post to invite the sisters of the family to Shouhuang Temple for a day, if the sisters are ready, set off as soon as possible, beware of a crowd for a while, you can't get to the mountain gate for half a day, and it's not good to go late like last year." ”

The old lady said to Grandma Meng: "I will hand over the sisters to you, if there is anything missing, I will only ask." ”

Grandma Meng replied with a smile: "Don't worry, old lady, Da Lang will personally send their sisters over." ”

Big cousin going to Shouhuang Temple? Zhangzhu remembered that Chu Yuanzhen said that he was going to visit Du Yunxu, and the eldest cousin and the second son had an agreement, right?

Just as it was being said that the Hu family had brought Yaxin and Yao Jun over, Grandma Meng saw this and hurriedly said, "It just so happens that the people are complete, let's go." ”
