Li Zao is planning things for the winter here, and the entire prince's mansion has begun to prepare for the New Year. If the Golden Festival is the most important festival for the Manchurians, then the Spring Festival is the most important festival for the Chinese.

This palace is no better than the outside, early in the morning, Li Zao heard a lot of people crackling outside.

"What's going on out there?" Li Zao was a little angry. It's so annoying not to let people sleep in the morning, Ah Ling smiled: "It's beating gongs and drums outside!" ”

Li Zao glanced at it speechlessly: "This hasn't even arrived at Laba, so it's started?" Ah Qiao looked at Li Zao, with a look of lovelessness: "Gege, today is the Laba Festival." ”

Ah Ling looked at Li Zao at this time, and said, "Gege, do we want to make some Laba porridge by ourselves today?" Li Zao thought for a while: "Look at Da Li Gege and Yun Gege, we have to follow the crowd." ”

Ah Qiao thought in his heart, how can he attract his master to come over with the crowd, but Xiao Hezi has told himself.

What kind of woman does this man like?

Not to mention what Ah Qiao thinks in his heart, Li Zao is here to popularize the knowledge of Laba Festival to Ah Ling. "This porridge on the eighth day of the lunar month is from a place called the Brahma Kingdom, and this porridge is actually called Qibao five-flavor porridge."

Qiao: "Wow, Gege knows so much." Li Zao was not modest at this time, "That is, I am the most educated in your family, this is the benefit of reading more." As he spoke, he patted Ah Qiao's shoulder in a deep voice.

Ah Qiao said seriously: "Well, it's better to learn from Gege." Li Zao looked at this, and felt that he couldn't hold back his laughter, and turned them all red.

After a while, Li Zao said to Ah Ling: "Is there any Laba porridge in the house today?" "If you don't have one, do it yourself, huh!

Ah Ling went out to ask, and when she came back, she shook the snow on her body outside before going in. "Gege, this laba porridge has to be sent down from the palace, in our house, just a few bowls."

Li Zao listened, feeling incredible, there are only a few bowls in this house, well, okay. "Xiao Hezi, you can go to the dining room to pick up some sweet noodles and milk steamed buns in a while, and then take some of the dishes prepared for us in the dining room, and take more."

Xiao Hezi took the order.

After a while, the second-in-command in the main courtyard, Father-in-command Jiang, came. With some rewards from Fu Jin, Li Zao looked at the twenty taels of silver and a few silver nudes given by Fu Jin, and really felt that Fu Jin was very stingy.

Da Li looked at these and shouted: "Ling'er, put these things away, I am upset when I see it, who is Fujin trying to slap in the face!" "There are fewer things rewarded in the house, but this is the face of the master.

Yun Gege's there, Fu Jin didn't give more, but Yun Gege didn't dislike it, although the twenty taels of silver around him were less, but it could also save the emergency, right?

Li Zao looked at these things in front of him, and thought about it, he still didn't give the Zhang family and the Liu family their good, last time it was said that the Liu family had an opinion about himself, who was in a hurry to be hated.

At noon, Li Zao finally remembered the fourth master: "Where did the master go today?" Ah Ling couldn't help but hold her forehead, my Gege: "The fourth master sent someone to spread the word early in the morning, saying that he was going to sacrifice today, so that you could live a good life." ”

Li Zao looked helpless, he is not a child anymore, but it feels good to be remembered like this!

Near noon, Xiao Hezi went to the dining room. "Yo, Brother He, you are here, this is the lunch prepared for Gege, Gege's favorite sauce duck and cookies, and some stir-fried side dishes made in the dining room. Just waiting for you to come. ”

Xiao Hezi smiled, looked at the rice in the box quietly, and still gave two taels of silver, because it was the Laba Festival, and he also used the purse from the last gold festival.

Xiao Hezi said with a smile again: "We Gege want some sweet noodles and milky steamed buns today, and you have the rest here." When Chef Zhang heard this, he smiled: "What are you talking about, where can you let Gege eat the leftovers, there is something just made, just for Gege." ”

The little apprentice next to him wanted to speak and stopped, until Xiao Hezi left, and then asked Chef Zhang: "Master, this is what Yun Gege specially asked for today, so there is some left, is it enough?" ”

Chef Zhang smiled incomprehensibly: "Boy, you should take a good look." The little apprentice scratched his head, as if he understood or not.

After a while, Yun Gege's people went to get lunch, and looked at this little steamed bun and felt that it was different from what they were on weekdays, as if it was less, but they didn't ask much, so they went back.

Yun Gege looked at the steamed buns that were missing, and his first reaction was that someone saw that he was not favored and wanted to steal his mouth, so he immediately got angry, but he didn't show it on his face, but he just asked Xiangxue to find out what was going on.

When Xiangxue came back, she looked angry: "Gege, I have inquired clearly, it was Xiao Li Gege who wanted to eat this sweet noodle little steamed bun today, and it was just in front of us, so I gave it to them." ”

When Yun Gege heard this, he took a deep breath, this is bullying himself and not being favored, and then looked at Xiangxue's hateful and bitter look, he only felt irritated and waved his hand: "You go down first." ”

It's just that how to bring down Li Zao?

Li Zao looked at these sauced ducks and sweet steamed buns, and said, "This dining room has a heart." Ah Ling said beside her: "It's not, it is said that this is what Yun Gege wants, but we went early and were taken away by us, Yun Gege may not be jealous of us now." ”

Li Zao smiled: "This dining room has always been high and low, and I can't complain about them, this Yun Gege, don't be afraid." ”

When it was close to dinner, the fourth master came back, at this time, the laba porridge in the palace was also rewarded, a total of three bowls, the fourth master first ordered someone to heat a hot, and then gave Fujin a bowl, half a bowl each of Da Li and Li Zao.

Li Zao didn't have any special mood for this half bowl of laba porridge, and if he tasted it again, the taste would be like this, but he also knew that he couldn't help but finish it, anyway, the taste was okay, so he ate it.

And the big Li family heard that Li Zao had half a bowl of laba porridge like himself, and he was about to fry it, Ling'er persuaded: "Gege, this little Li family is now favored, and you are not bad, which means that you also have a place in the heart of the fourth master." ”

When Da Li heard this, he laughed again, and Ling'er also breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, the fourth master didn't think about giving it to the Da Li family, but he just felt that he would only give Li Zao after crossing the Da Li family, which would harm Li Zao, so he gave half a bowl to Da Li's family.

Song Gege didn't think much about it, Yun Gege felt that he had been greatly wronged, but he had nowhere to say, so he went to the main courtyard.

At this time, the direction of the wind in the backyard has changed, I used to think that Li Zao was just a favored character, but now I can compete with people like Da Li who have a son and a daughter, which is amazing
