"It's not a big deal, it's just that your third sister-in-law has been used to being in charge of the house for so many years, and now she suddenly feels a little uncomfortable when she hands over the authority, you are still young, you don't need to ignore these things, Guanyin, it's going to be Laba Festival soon, A-Niang has a lot of miscellaneous things in her hands, it is estimated that there is no time to care about you, and you remember to let the maids clean up your own small yard." Gao glanced at his daughter and spoke.

Although her daughter is young, many trivial things in the inner house can only be slowly contacted and understood by her since she was a child, and then correctly guided, and when she grows up and marries, she can understand how to gain a foothold in the back house, and how to be a good wife and mother who knows how to advance and retreat, and will not be coaxed at will.

"Knowing A-Niang, I will take care of my own small yard." The eldest grandson girl glanced at her mother with some hesitation, she didn't forget that the third brother in the family had never liked her mother and son, with the temper of the third brother, she saw the third sister-in-law go back from her mother's stomach, she was afraid that she would think of the law to find fault, but she looked at her mother's expression, and then looked at her small body, knowing that there was no room for her own intervention in this matter, she only responded obediently, and didn't say anything else.

Because it is about to come to the Laba Festival, Gao wants to personally preside over all matters of the Laba Festival, (according to the Sui book, the Laba Festival was a very important festival at that time, not only every household should prepare Laba porridge, but also sacrifice to the ancestors, and at the same time, the palace will also distribute Laba porridge to the ministers) is very busy, the eldest grandson accompanied Gao to talk to the conversation, and left very sensibly.

On the way back to her yard, the eldest grandson girl couldn't help but say to Qinglan: "Qinglan, you said that this Laba Festival, are we really going smoothly?" "It's a child who is less than six years old, and he is worried about it, and it is inconvenient to show it in front of his mother, but he can't help but talk to the personal maids around him.

"Yes, I believe that with the ability of the lady, we will be able to pass this Laba Festival smoothly." Qinglan was silent slightly, and then said with a smile, she is much older than the eldest grandson girl, and she is a maid who came from Gaofu, and she knows Gao's temperament very well, Gao's seems to be docile and gentle without a trace of temper, but in fact, she has everything in her heart, otherwise she would not have married into Changsunfu for so many years, not only can she be favored by Langjun, but a pair of children are also so outstanding in education, and there is no bad reputation in the outside world.

"Also, with A-Niang's intelligence and ability, I don't have to worry about being practical." The eldest grandson girl was stunned when she heard this, then shook her head and laughed......

Three days of time in a blink of an eye, Laba this day five watch just after a little bit, the eldest grandson girl was woken up by the ring, Laba Festival this day not only to eat Laba porridge, but also sacrifice, Kyoto's custom Laba this day of sacrifice is generally the end of the fifth watch.

At the end of the fifth watch, that is, at five o'clock in the morning, because the sacrifice itself takes some time, the people who participate in the sacrifice usually have to go to the ancestral hall at half past four, fortunately, it is only a family sacrifice on the day of Laba, and all the people who have divided the house can worship their ancestors in the ancestral hall of their own homes. (For example, although Changsun Sheng's parents are not there, he has three brothers, and these three families must be together during the New Year's Festival.) ）

After the eldest grandson girl dressed and groomed, the time was about four o'clock in the morning, Qinglan held a lantern, and took the eldest grandson girl with a housekeeper to send her to the Gao family's courtyard, when the eldest grandson girl arrived, her brother Wuji also brought her younger brother Wuyi over, Wuyi is still young, and has not yet opened a separate hospital, so she lives in the courtyard of the eldest grandson Wuji.

(The eldest grandson Wuyi is a concubine giving birth to a child, the rules of the eldest grandson's house concubine does not have the right to raise her own children, after the child is born, some will be placed next to the master mother to raise, and some are independent yards, send a special nursing mother to take care of it, when she is young, the biological mother can go to see each other every day, and when she reaches the age of five, after the child enters school, she can usually see each other for a week or half a month.) ）

Not long after they came, the eldest brother and the second brother of the eldest grandson girl came with their wives and children, and after asking for peace, the time was almost five o'clock, and the Gao family waited for about ten minutes or so, and found that the eldest grandson and his wife still did not come, and they were about to miss the sacrifice time in front of them, and in desperation, Gao could only speak: "Let's go, let's go to the ancestral hall, the courtyard where San Lang and his wife live is closer to the ancestral hall, and it has already passed." “

Gao's courtyard is about ten minutes away from the ancestral hall, but at this time the sky has not yet brightened, although there are lanterns shining, but this day is frozen, the ground paved with stone bricks are frozen and tied hard, it is not easy to walk, the group spent almost a quarter of an hour to reach the ancestral hall, when they arrived at the ancestral hall, the time has reached six and a half o'clock, when they arrived, the eldest grandson Anye and his wife were indeed at the door of the ancestral hall.

"Mother, you came so late, I thought you didn't remember to sacrifice today." The eldest grandson Anye's eyes fell on the bodies of Gao's mother and son, and said a word without yin or yang.

The young and vigorous eldest grandson Wuji raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and he was about to open his mouth to refute, if it wasn't for the fact that the couple deliberately found fault, disrespected their mother and didn't meet in the main courtyard, and didn't send someone over to say hello, would her mother be late? But as soon as he wanted to speak, he found that the sleeve of his shirt was torn by someone, and when he looked down, he found that his sister was grabbing his sleeve, and when he saw him, he immediately shook his head imperceptibly.

The eldest grandson Wuji finally remembered that this day was different, if he talked back to the third brother at this time, the real difficulty was his mother, and his mind fell here, so he could only suppress the resentment in his heart, Gao glanced at the eldest grandson Anye and his wife, and said: "The road is slippery in the cold weather, and it is not easy to walk, so it is a moment late, but fortunately, the time of the sacrifice is not missed, since everyone is here, let's go in." “

"What about the sacrificial things? Could it be that my mother has been away from Beijing for many years and doesn't remember the rules? The eldest grandson Anye glanced around, but did not find the subordinate holding the offering, and couldn't help but say with a calm face.

"All the offerings, at the end of the third watch, I have ordered someone to put it into the ancestral hall, if San Lang is worried that I am not well prepared, you might as well go in first to see, there is still more than a quarter of an hour, if there is really anything missing, make up for it." Gao said lightly, and after saying this, he stepped over the threshold of the ancestral hall and walked inside.

The eldest grandson Anye was choked and stunned, seeing that the others followed in, he had nothing to do except follow the steps, the ancestral hall had already lit a high candle, after the Gao family came in, the steward quickly stepped forward to uncover the offerings covered with red cloth, everything was complete, nothing was missing, the eldest grandson Anye looked at this waterless arrangement, and his face involuntarily darkened a little.

After worshipping the ancestors, in the end, the Gao family had to lead the children to worship Changsun Sheng's ex-wife Yu (the history books did not find out what the surname of Changsun Sheng's ex-wife was, the author made it up himself. The eldest grandson Anye wanted to find fault with Gao's mother and son in the ancestral hall, and for this reason, when Gao took his children to worship Yu's incense, his attention was always on Gao's mother and son, and because he was too focused, he didn't bother to send his forehead to the incense he was lit in his hand when he knocked on the incense, and he screamed.

"Third brother, we know that you are pure and filial, and you always think of your mother in your heart, you can miss her old man again, and you don't need to burn incense to show that your sincerity is not ......" Seeing this scene, Aunt Eldest Sun couldn't help but say with an innocent face......
