In a blink of an eye, it is the Zhongyuan Festival, the Zhongyuan Festival is one of the four major festivals of the Great Yong Dynasty, up to the royal family, down to the people, all attach great importance to it, even the Jingzhao hundred officials, are not in the court, Jingzhao Mansion also set up a "blessing auspicious dojo" on Xianghe Street for the people of Jingzhao to give universal wishes. On this day, every household is ready to worship the three officials, and all kinds of sacrifices are also prepared one by one, which is "the soul of the ancestor is returned, and the salty clothes and wine and food are recommended, although the poor dare not lack." ”。

The Shen family is no exception, Shen Yu and Shen Hu made clothes with their own hands, wine and meat, sugar cakes, and fruits have long been prepared, Shen Yuhong and other Shen family men have personally folded paper money, Shen Ning and a group of sisters have also made all kinds of river lanterns with their own hands, Jingzhao has the custom of putting river lanterns in Zhongyuan, only after worshipping the three officials and ancestors, and then putting river lanterns, it can be regarded as passing the Zhongyuan Festival.

In the open space in front of the Shen family's main courtyard, a row of Eight Immortal Tables was neatly placed, on which were stacked with netherworld offerings such as clothes, paper money, and other earthly tobacco and food. Behind the table of the Eight Immortals, there were all the people of the Shen family, and they were about to start the worship ceremony of Zhongyuan.

Shen Huashan took Shen Zejing and Shen Zeyuan, followed by his daughter-in-law, grandson, granddaughter, and even Shen Qingde's great-grandson was also brought by Shen An's family, four generations of a family, under the leadership of Shen Huashan, first worshiped the three officials of heaven, earth and water, three kneeling and nine knocking, Shen Huashan also quietly read a large section of the sacrifice, Shen Ning did not hear clearly what it was, and then got up again, worshiped the ancestors, the same three kneeling and nine knocking, and also said a paragraph, this time Shen Ning heard clearly Shen Huashan asked the ancestors to protect the descendants of the Shen family, and then got up again, Finally, worship all living beings and wild ghosts, this is one kneeling and three knocks, this is a universal wish, praying for a hundred ghosts to eat food and stomach to avoid the difficulty of hanging upside down, and praying for all living beings to avoid the suffering of displacement.

Shen Ning also bowed down with the ups and downs of the Shen family, with tears in his eyes, and he was bitter for a while. When the Shen family was wiped out in the previous life, it was during the Zhongyuan Festival, which was the first Zhongyuan Festival since her rebirth, and it was also the first worship since her rebirth......

I will definitely protect the Shen family well, accompanied by Shen Ning's firm determination to bow down sincerely, I don't know if this Zhongyuan sentient beings have heard Shen Ning's intention to save the Buddha?

When the river lantern was released, Shen Ning did not go, but asked a few maids in spring, summer, autumn and winter to follow Shen Mi and others, what she wanted to say and begged was said during the worship, and she was not interested in putting the river lantern, so she accompanied Liu's mother to talk in Qingzhuju.

Soon after, Chun Shi and others came back, describing to Shen Ning the lively scene when the river lantern was released, and said that Shen Wan's river lantern was the most brilliant, and even several families by the river in Jingzhaocheng were sighing at Yunyun, Shen Ning was not surprised to hear this, since Zhuangzi weaved grasshoppers, Shen Wan became more and more fond of these handicrafts, and his talent gradually appeared.

I listened to the maids say a few words about the general wishes of the Jingzhao auspicious dojo, and I heard that there were many people there, and there were also senior monks of Huguo Temple preaching Buddhism, etc., and the maids saw that Shen Ning was not much interested, and soon stopped.

Shen Ning only looked at the white and flawless moonlight, and was distracted for a long time, Zhongyuan sacrificed itself, what a sorrow and how lucky.

On the eighteenth day of July, Shen Ning also dressed up early, took the maid Qiu Ge Dongfu to meet Shen Yao, and prepared to leave for Shangshu Mansion as a guest. Shen Yao also brought two maids, Zhiyun and Zhiwu, and the group of six people was not lonely.

Shen Yu thought that Shen Ning also needed a few boudoir friends, and Chen Wanrou was about to become the second princess, so she was very much in favor of her travel, and she didn't ask too much, so let her have a good time.

In fact, the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War is also located on Jingtai Street, but the Shen Mansion is in the south and the Chen Mansion is in the north, which is not far away. In fact, carefully speaking, most of the officials of the six ministries live near Jingtai Street, which is also related to the layout of Jingzhao. Jingzhao 36th Street East and West Two Square City, in fact, also have their own emphasis, the hierarchy is also strict, all officials seem to choose the street according to the official position to live, the Imperial City under the root of the Shifu Street, live in the palace of the princes, the three provincial officials also live not far from the Shifu Street, Jingtai Street and Shifu Street just form a T-shape, the location is also very good, so gradually, it has also become a gathering place for the officials of the six departments.

Shen Ning and Shen Yao were welcomed into the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War, and they also saw Chen Zhao's family, she was smiling, but she couldn't see any discord with Chen Wanrou behind her, which made Shen Ning also sigh secretly. Originally, this kind of gathering between the little daughters did not need to be entertained by the Chen Zhao family, but Chen Wanrou already had the will to give marriage, and she was the second princess in the future.

Came as a guest together, as well as Zheng Shaoyi, the youngest daughter of the head of the household, Gong Xinci, the granddaughter of the imperial doctor, and several girls under the military department, I heard that there were girls from the Lang Zhang crossbow family and the Langzhong Xu Shen family, but they were also all together, it seems that for the identity of the second princess, many girls came to show their goodwill, or Chen Wanrou also invited them, Shen Ning and Shen Yao also came forward to see all the little girls, it is indeed a little girl, Shen Ning remembered that he had lived for more than forty years, and he was so old, What are these not little girls?

More than a dozen little girls got together, and what they said was nothing more than embroidery and painting, delicious food, and this time because of Chen Wanrou, she naturally took out her marriage and said it to express her envy. Shen Ning was not very interested in this kind of gathering between little girls, but he also tried to make a serious appearance, Shen Yao was very happy, and soon chattered with the girl of the Xu family.

In fact, Shen Ning didn't want to come, but remembering that Chen Wanrou had specially posted to her, she must have something to ask her, and this trip was a must.

Chen Wanrou was greeting all the girls, and she didn't forget Shen Ning, a large part of the reason why she held this party was because of Shen Ning, firstly, to thank her, and secondly, she was also curious, how did she know that there was something wrong with the red sleeves? Thinking of Red Sleeves, she couldn't help but feel gloomy. Red Sleeves has been with her for six or seven years, thinking that Red Sleeves secretly hid buns for her at the beginning, she has always been because the two of them are sisters, but she didn't expect it...... Since the banquet of the Flower Dynasty, in order to take care of the family, the grandmother did not study it carefully, but quickly disposed of the red sleeves, originally the grandmother was going to kill the red sleeve staff, but she was still reluctant, after all, she left her life and drove her to the northern Xinjiang, but the friendship between master and servant is no longer there, don't think about it, Chen Wanrou knows who the person behind the red sleeves is, but how did Shen Ning know?

She looked at Shen Ning, the other party seemed to be listening carefully to other girls, probably because of her young age, and she didn't wear any beads, but she looked refreshing, except for a pair of eyes that were particularly dark and bright, her complexion was average, and she couldn't see anything outstanding.

Shen Ning seemed to notice Chen Wanrou's scrutiny, and also took advantage of the other little girls to joke and smiled back at her without confusion. was laughed at by her, Chen Wanrou came back to her senses, what was she thinking, how did she know that there was something wrong with the red sleeves, and she would find an opportunity to ask her directly.

At this time, although it was not so hot, watermelon and other fruits were still presented, and the cook also intimately dug out the melon flesh and skillfully put it in a transparent small bowl, and the bright red melon juice was clearly set off, and it won the love of the little girls at once. Shen Ning also seemed to like the watermelon very much, and motioned to the maid next to her to bring her a bowl, so the little girls saw that the little maid was somehow unstable, and the bowl of melon flesh and melon juice were poured directly on Shen Ning's body - but she was still wearing a moon-white skirt today, and the watermelon stains were quite eye-catching.

The maid also seemed to be afraid, and stood aside and did not dare to speak. As the host, Chen Wanrou naturally apologized and said that it was a poor greeting, and said that she also had the moon-white skirt, and she hadn't worn it yet, so she could replace it for Shen Ning, so she took Shen Ning down to change clothes.

In the room, Chen Wanrou did not let the maid serve her, and Qiu Ge and the others also stood outside the door. "Sister Shen, thank you." She thanked Shen Ning, no matter what, it was thanks to her. Shen Ning also knew what she was talking about, and said that it was nothing, polite, and waited for Chen Wanrou's inquiry.

"But how did you know about Redsleeves?" Sure enough, Shen Ning thought to herself, she knew that Chen Wanrou would ask like this, and she had already prepared the answer.

"It's a coincidence, my maid's name is Qiu Ge, and there is a cousin who is running outside, and this cousin and sister happened to go out that day, and saw your maid sneakily entering Longjing Zhai and talking to people - sister, you also know that Longjing Zhai is the place where my family sells tea and drinks tea. I guessed that I was talking about what the flower dynasty festival was pushing into the water, and I didn't hear it clearly, so I had to give my sister such a reminder...... "Shen Ning's words, true and false, red sleeves have been to Longjingzhai to be true, but I didn't see anyone, so naturally I didn't say anything-but Chen Wanrou couldn't go to northern Xinjiang to ask her, so I could only believe it."

The two of them have revealed this, and after Chen Wanrou thanked her repeatedly, she quickly asked Shen Ning to change her clothes and hurriedly returned to the party room. During the period, I also talked to everyone: On the first day of August, Shaofu Temple will come to make a decision, and it is a little shy. The little girl congratulated her, and she was not without envy, but Shen Ning breathed a sigh of relief, now the Chen family and the second prince have formed an alliance, which is a certainty.

After that, there was nothing more to say, and the little girls did not have lunch at Chen's house, and left one after another.
