The layout of Shenjing is like a chessboard, and the streets and alleys are straight but not narrow.

The Song Dynasty was slightly chaotic, and in the Mengyuan and Yuan dynasties, when Kublai Khan built the capital, he carried out a comprehensive planning and transformation of the capital according to the Zhou rites.

In each gate of the capital, a main road was carved out, which led to a checkerboard-shaped layout of partitions, and these partitions for the convenience of people and carriages were called main streets, small streets, and alleys according to their width and narrowness.

The winter weather in the north is relatively cold, because of the need for sunshine and resistance to cold winds, the hutongs in Shenjing are mainly east-west, and the north-south alleys are produced according to actual needs and local conditions.

In the Yuan Dynasty, the main street was 24 steps (about 14 meters) wide, the side streets were 12 steps wide (about 7 meters), and the alleys were 6 steps (about 3-4 meters) wide

Hutongs are different from main streets and small streets, they are a separation zone between rows of houses connected by houses, courtyards and houses, so you will see many such scenes in Shenjing: although the two courtyards are only separated by a wall, you have to go around a large circle from the main gate of one courtyard to the main entrance of the other courtyard.

Therefore, a lot of multi-entry quadrangles have been formed.

The vegetable gardens along the walls on both sides make the originally spacious streets and alleys slightly crowded.

Bypassing the two alleys, until the inner enclosure of many houses, Jia Qiong also wanted to laugh when he looked at it.

No matter when and where, there must be houses along the street, not to mention Qionglou Yuyu, but it is also spacious and bright.

The inner perimeter is indeed dilapidated, and the portal has not been repaired.

It is said that it is the precipitation of time and the connotation of history, but I don't know that there is no one at home, no one repairs, and no one likes the new.

There are no qualified leaders in the east and west of the Jia family, not to mention the children of the side lineage, even if it is poorly managed internally, and the end is Huawu Qiuxu does not know it.

I came to the gate of the courtyard with three turns and two turns.

In the vegetable garden by the courtyard wall, shallots and spinach are exceptionally green, adding a touch of vitality to the bleak season.

Xu heard footsteps, and there was a voice in the courtyard.

"Are Qiong'er and Fourth Sister back?"

"Well, Mother. My sister and I are back, mother, next time you can't let your sister go out alone, although the surrounding area is all related to the family, and they are all side branches of the Jia family, but if you can't keep it, you will shoot flowers, and my sister is still young. ”

"And the child is also older, and the child knows some things."

"Yes~, my good boy has grown up, I know it, come in and eat, today is your birth, I got two more dishes for my mother, and the small rice is also full, but there is no meat."

Before she finished speaking, Jia Qiong held the fourth sister in one hand, pushed open the courtyard door with the other, and walked into the courtyard.

I saw these three small dishes placed on the small table in the courtyard, a plate of stewed tofu with green onions, a plate of vegetarian fried spinach, and a plate of fried bean sprouts.

"Mother, it's okay, the tofu is delicious, and my son likes it very much. There are also spinach and bean sprouts are very good, I heard Dr. Hu from the Huichun Hall on Ningrong Street say that 'these dishes are good for the body'. ”

Jia Qiong was really happy when she saw the food on the table.

Usually don't talk about meat, tofu is rare, and in the past two years, my mother will cut two taels of meat and stew it with vegetables.

Tofu is also only seen once in a few months.

There was a woman standing at the table, dressed in a long Ge dress, wearing a Chu Ge Huan scarf, with a vegetable face, a slight wrinkle at the corners of her eyes, and a Chu Ge Huan scarf on her head.

The wrinkled hands are a little cracked, and this is not yet the cold winter of Sanjiu.

Seeing that Jia Qiong felt extremely uncomfortable, she looked at her mother and then at the dishes on the table.

I couldn't bear to turn my eyes to the side, my mother Shen Xian is only twenty-six years old now, and she is six years old, and she will be seven years old soon.

In the previous life, there were many people at this age who did not have a family, and they were still careless and only cared about their own fun.

Outside, the ginkgo biloba stood straight and straight, and the golden ginkgo leaves fell in the wind and fell into the well.

Taking advantage of her mother's inattention, Jia Qiong secretly glanced at her mother again, and her heart was even more uncomfortable.

Xu is Jia Qiong's subconscious actions made Shen Xian misunderstood, her face was slightly red, and her eyes were full of guilt.

"Qiong'er, fourth sister, you wash up first, get ready to eat, and your mother will serve you dinner."

I was also a parent, how can I not know my mother's feelings and thoughts? But I really can't stand it.

Since being reborn, Jia Qiong feels that her heart seems to have become younger, not as deep as in her previous life, not so rational, and more emotional.

In the past six years, her mother Shen Xian has known her love for herself, her attachment to her family, and her father's love for Jia Qiong.

It's just that I'm still young, I can't do anything for the family, the food is not good, and the body is also slightly weak, and I can't do the work that requires a little strength, at most I can add fire to the stove, and then help my mother take my sister, I can only rely on my mother's continuous work.

During the meal, I heard my mother babble and say, "Qiong'er, you will be educated tomorrow, and you will rest early tonight." ”

"The twenty eggs I gave to Uncle Dairu two days ago don't know if I can satisfy him.

Although the clan does not restrain the children of the Jia family, it can't really be denied.

After all, you have to teach him to you, if he doesn't care, you won't be able to study well, child. ”

Jia Qiong saw that her mother only held dishes and chopsticks in her hands, and did not eat.

I knew in my heart that my mother was just using the excuse of talking to let their brothers and sisters eat more, and she didn't break it.

"Uh-huh, uh-huh."

Jia Qiong, eating her meal quickly, replied vaguely.

Eat silently, sleep silently.

It's not that you can't talk when eating, but don't speak when you have food in your mouth, otherwise the food in your mouth may fall out.

Sleep silence means that when you are ready to sleep, then do not talk and think, otherwise you will not be able to fall asleep quickly.

Swallowing the food in her mouth, Jia Qiong looked at her mother with a blank look and replied seriously.

"Mother doesn't have to worry about it. The child will work hard, and the fame he will gain as soon as possible will earn a life for his mother. ”
