Chapter Ninety-Four: New Year's Disaster
The first day of the first lunar month is a day to give blessings to one's parents.
Xia Wanrou stayed up for two nights without resting, only squinted for an hour, and struggled to get up.
Qingya couldn't help but say: "What if the girl sleeps until noon, the old lady and the lady treat the girl like that, the girl has already fallen out with them, and it is impossible to go to greet them today." ”
"Whether you say hello or not, I have to get up early today, or they'll have to chew their tongues outside." Xia Wanrou instructed Song Zhi to take a piece of forehead to wear on his head, and after washing, he went out of the room with this forehead.
"Qingya, I'm not feeling well, I'm afraid that I will infect the old lady and Mrs. with illness, you go and salute for me, and wish them a long life."
Qing Ya was a little surprised and unhappy when she heard this: "Girl, do you wish them a long life?" "They wish the girl had died sooner.
"Sometimes it's not a good thing to say that you have no borders." Summer evening judo. If you live a life of grievance, anxiety and trembling, it is better to die easily.
"Green girl, you can go quickly, don't miss the hour." Song Zhi said, "The girl doesn't want people to grasp this mistake and hinder the girl's reputation!" ”
Xia Wanrou smiled at Song Zhi gratefully, thanking her for being able to see so clearly.
Song Zhi smiled again: "If the young girl goes to ask for peace now, I can't say that after breakfast, the girl can go back to the room to rest for a while!" ”
As soon as Qing Ya heard this, she didn't care about anything else, she quickly raised her feet and went to Mrs. Xia's room to say goodbye.
As soon as Qing Ya arrived in Mrs. Xia's room, Xia Li took Xia Wanxin and Xia Yinan to arrive, Qing Ya didn't want to make trouble, so she asked Mrs. Xia for peace, and then for Xia Li's family, so she returned to Xia Wanrou's boudoir. Xia Li wanted to embarrass Qingya, but was stopped by Xia Wanrou reaching out.
"What's the matter with you?" Xia Li was a little dissatisfied, "On this big day on the first day of the first lunar month, she only sent a maid to ask for peace, which is really not filial at all." ”
"Isn't it a long time ago that big sister is not filial? Can't my mother see through the situation? Xia Yinan spoke idly.
Xia Wanxin said: "Mother, leave her alone, we will go out to Huguo Temple to offer incense later." ”
"How did you speak for her?" Xia Li was a little dissatisfied.
"The situation is pressing." Xia Wanxin said with a bitter smile.
Xia Li was so distressed that she looked up at Old Madam Xia, and when she saw that the other party was speechless, she sighed in her heart.
In the end, I didn't dare to mention these frustrating words anymore, but talked about travel arrangements.
"In previous years, our family donated at least fifty taels of silver for incense in Huguo Temple on the first day of the first lunar month every year, but now we can't take out five taels of silver, so we made five taels of silver for the Buddha to beat his teeth."
Xia Wanxin and Xia Yinan didn't speak, they only donated five coins of silver, which was too embarrassing, they didn't want to go to Huguo Temple like this to embarrass people.
Xia Li thought that they were very satisfied with her arrangement, and continued to chatter.
Old Madam Xia suddenly spoke: "I won't go to Huguo Temple today." ”
"Not going?" Xia Li frowned, she was waiting to be able to worship the Bodhisattva today and turn all the unhappiness of the past year into smoothness.
Mrs. Xia said: "What kind of place is Huguo Temple, it's just on weekdays, but in the first month, I'm afraid that five coins of silver will not be enough to solve a signature...... Didn't Yinan say that he had found traces of Xia Laichun? Today, the Hualou Gambling House does not accept people, let's take advantage of today to find him and ask him to ask him well, and it is right for him to spit out the house. ”
Before Xia Yinan said that he had found Xia Laichun, Mrs. Xia not only did not come forward to see Xia Laichun, but also stopped a few of them from going to Xia Laichun to confront him, just for today.
Xia Li rejoiced: "What my mother said is very reasonable, even if Xia Laichun spits out half of the silver, we will have the silver to donate sesame oil money to Huguo Temple in two days." ”
Xia Yinan still had some resentment that Old Madam Xia didn't let him give New Year's gifts to the Eldest Princess's Mansion before, he opened his mouth, under the majesty of Old Madam Xia and Xia Li's family, he didn't dare to say anything that would make the family jump on the first day of the first lunar month.
Xia Wanrou didn't know their plans, and after breakfast, she really went back to her room to catch up on her sleep by recuperating from her illness.
After staying up for two nights, her whole person even became a little confused, and after lying down, she slept without knowing anyone in less than a cup of tea. Song Zhi and Qingya both felt distressed and funny, and put the little snoring on the inside of the Zhu bed, and the two of them fell asleep at the same time on the first day of the first lunar month, and they had a dream of three thousand years.
When I woke up again, it was already evening, and it was getting a little dark outside. Song Zhi was afraid that she would continue to sleep and wake up in the middle of the night and feel uncomfortable, so he didn't allow her to sleep, got a few cat toys, and sent her to play in the room.
After Mrs. Xia next door went out, she still hasn't come back.
"Girl, could something be wrong?" Qingya asked hesitantly.
"The Xia family will go to Huguo Temple to pray for blessings on the first day of the first lunar month every year, and this year the Xia family is poor, there is no carriage, or they come back later than in previous years." Xia Wanrou thought for a while and said.
"It's not that late." Qingya said, "There is about to be a curfew on Changnan Street. ”
Today's curfew in Lin'an City is not at the same time, Changnan Street is close to the palace, and there is a royal academy in it, so it is the earliest place in the entire Lin'an City. From Huguo Temple to Xiajia, Changnan Street is the best road to take recently.
"I don't know if they're coming back." Xia Wanrou frowned.
With Mrs. Xia here, they shouldn't cause any trouble.
"Wait and see, if there is no news in another half an hour, let Longbow go out and inquire."
"Yes." Qingya should be OK.
She is not worried about the safety of Mrs. Xia and others, but only worried that the behavior, words and deeds of Mrs. Xia and others will affect her girl.
After another half an hour, Mrs. Xia and the others still didn't get home, so Xia Wanrou had to let Longbow go out to inquire.
Longbow is a secret guard, and he has good skills and a way, but after half an hour's effort, he will come back and talk back.
He said: "Mrs. Xia and others have been accused, and now they have been imprisoned by the yamen. Because it is the Chinese New Year, the adults are on vacation, and they are afraid that it will not be tried until after the Lantern Festival. ”
Xia Wanrou's face suddenly turned pale.
Qingya scolded: "Aren't they the most face-saving? How did you get put in prison at such a time! If they don't come out for a day, won't the girl be able to walk around with the nobles of Lin'an City for a day? ”
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the married woman returns to her parents' house to worship, and on the third day of the Lunar New Year, the little ladies in Lin'an City can invite each other to walk around. Qingya is ready for everything, just waiting for the arrival of the third day of the Lunar New Year.
Who knew something like this could happen?
"Who did they provoke?" Qingya was a little puzzled.
