They have lived in Ningzhou for many years and have retained some of Ningzhou's customs. They will rehearse programs on New Year's Eve, some singing, some performing shadow puppets, some performing dancing, etc.
After lunch, Feng Wan and Feng Jiao made an appointment with their close friends to go out for fun. There was a New Year's Eve lantern show on the street, and various shops were also preparing New Year's Eve programs. Except for the Lantern Festival, New Year's Eve was the busiest.
After Fengyu returned to Meiyuan, Qiuxiang and Chunlu took the ingredients to the small kitchen. Fengyu kneaded and rolled the dough herself. Chunlu and Qiuxiang looked at the sticky dough with their cheeks on their hands. The maids were covering their mouths and laughing.
, Feng Yu knew that she had failed again. This is a limited program for the maids in the plum garden every year. You can see the three girls who are usually calm and calm and can do anything with ease. They are busy.
"Girl, add more flour."
"More, more..."
"You don't knead the dough hard enough, let me help you." Chunlu said.
Feng Yu shook her head and refused, and kneaded the dough very seriously. The maids gathered around her to give her verbal guidance. Qiu Xiang took a small basket and picked plum blossoms in the courtyard, brewed plum blossom wine, and made plum blossom cakes. Under the maid's verbal guidance, the dough was almost ready.
After waiting for the dough to wake up, Fengyu rolled out the dough and made noodles.
A fire was lit in the small kitchen, and a pot was boiled. Feng Yu clumsily cut the meat and vegetables, and then put the noodles and meat in after boiling. Chun Lu stopped talking, lowered her head and chuckled, and did not stop her.
Fengyu cooked two bowls of noodles. The noodles were cut into different thicknesses, and the beef was obviously cooked very well. Fengyu also sprinkled a lot of chili noodles, and a bowl of red beef noodles came out of the pot.
After the noodles were cooked, Fengyu set up a square table in the southwest direction of the courtyard, put the noodles on it, and added some fruits, vegetables and meat. Obviously, these were two bowls of sacrificial noodles.
Very few people use noodles as sacrificial objects. The Feng family has an ancestral hall, and it is very taboo to offer sacrifices in private outside the ancestral hall. Feng Yu is obviously not offering sacrifices to her ancestors.
Feng Shu asked, but she didn't answer. The old lady followed Feng Yu and didn't ask any more questions.
Feng Yu made two bowls of noodles with her own hands every New Year's Eve, burned gold and silver paper money, kowtowed and knelt down in a proper manner, and never failed to do so.
Feng Yu made noodles in the afternoon and worshiped for an hour in the wind and snow. Qiuxiang and Chunlu were afraid that she would catch the cold and persuaded her to go back to the house. Feng Yu didn't want to trouble herself, so she went back to the house after the sacrifice.
After paying her respects, she got up and went to Songhe Garden to accompany the old lady. When she arrived at the outer courtyard of Songhe Garden, she saw the eldest lady’s leaving figure and it was too late to say hello. After the palace banquet, Feng Yu and the eldest lady got along very well.
Madam is also kind and kind. Although the eldest and second bedrooms of the Feng family occasionally have disputes, they have always been in harmony.
When the old lady saw Feng Yu, she couldn't wait to share the good news. It turned out that Feng Wenrong's family letter had arrived, and she reported the good news that her sister-in-law was pregnant. The eldest lady came to announce the good news, and the old lady was also overjoyed. Feng Wenrong is of the same lineage
Shan Chuan is the only male among her grandchildren. The scarcity of boys is a worry for the old lady, so Feng Wenrong has been raised very carefully since she was a child. If there is any slight disturbance, the elders will be worried. After raising her to ten years old and healthy, the old lady and the doctor
The man breathed a sigh of relief.
After high school, Feng Wenrong married Yu Wenhui, the legitimate daughter of Princess Ning Ru and Jin Anbo. Although Jin Anbo's surname was Yuwen, he was a very marginalized figure in the royal family. Jin Anbo's grandfather was already very distant from the royal bloodline, and Yuwen
The royal family has been passed down for three hundred years. The royal family has spread out and has many clans. The title of Jin Anbo can be passed down because this lineage has been keeping to itself for hundreds of years and has never participated in the struggle for imperial power. The rich and idle people have no real power.
There is a huge difference in status between an earl without real power and an earl with real power. The Earl's Palace of Jin'an only has an empty title, and the emperor can do it at any time if he is in a bad mood. If the descendants of future generations have no future, they will decline very quickly. In the early days of the founding of the Yuwen royal family,
There have been too many dukes and counts, and now that their titles have been revoked, there are not many left.
Princess Jin Anbo and Princess Ning Ru would like the Feng family. Firstly, brothers Feng Changlin and Feng Changqing are very promising. Secondly, the Feng family has always been wealthy and upright. Thirdly, Feng Wenrong is eight years old.
Dou is handsome and has a bright future. Feng Wenrong got married after high school and took Yu Wenhui to his new job. The couple is very affectionate. There is finally good news this year, and Feng Yu is also very happy.
The eldest lady originally wanted to send a few confidants to take care of Yu Wenhui, but the old lady stopped her. Yu Wenhui was as his name suggests, smart and gentle. Feng Wenrong's letter home said that his wife kept the back house in order and was in harmony with the local area.
The officials and wives of the government have close contacts and are well-connected. They are careful and thoughtful, and they will definitely take care of their own affairs. Many of the confidants in the house have the habit of relying on their elders. If they say or do something that upsets her, they will be thousands of miles away.
Failure to eliminate the estrangement in time will be self-defeating.
"My eldest sister-in-law is pregnant, so my eldest aunt has nothing to worry about." Feng Yu said obediently, "Grandma is just waiting to hold her great-grandson."
The old lady said with a smile, "Wen Rong has made great achievements in his tenure. We will wait for another year to be transferred. After the two of them have been away for four or five years, it will be time to return to Beijing."
"Grandma, what's so good about Jingzhong? You can do some practical things outside. Jingzhong..." Feng Yu hesitated and said with a smile, "Grandma, when my eldest sister-in-law gives birth to a child, I will accompany my grandma to see them."
"Okay!" the old lady said with a smile, "grandma hasn't been away from home for a long time."
Grandparents and grandchildren are already thinking about traveling to the mountains and rivers, and the topic of conversation comes to Feng Wan. This is the most worrying thing for the eldest lady. Feng Wan has not yet been engaged at the age of eighteen, which is extremely rare in Beijing. Yanyang
Most women meet at the age of 17, and they can get married as late as seventeen. Feng Wan's marriage has been postponed a bit late.
"Didn't the eldest aunt and the Zhang family have a good chat?" Feng Yu said, "Zhang Boxing has been released from prison, and Uncle Lu Guo has not been implicated. The main thing is to see whether the eldest sister likes Zhang Boxing."
Feng Wan's attitude was very peaceful and she let her parents make the decision. Feng Yu thought of the riding and shooting banquet, but Zhang Boxing and Feng Wan didn't seem to have much communication. The eldest lady wanted to get married to the Zhang family, and Feng Yu also sent Zhang Da to investigate Zhang Boxing. Although there were misdeeds,
But she is not like Li Pengfei. Her parents are sensible people, but the connections in the family are very complicated. Mr. Zhang has an eldest son, whom he pays special attention to. Feng Yu did not interfere in Feng Wan's marriage, but simply told the old lady about her investigation.
Once again, it depends on the elders’ wishes whether they want to continue the conversation or not.
The old lady only regrets that she allowed the eldest lady to take care of Feng Wan's marriage. She was too ambitious and too slow. Liu An, the number one scholar, was originally an excellent candidate, but she missed it. Now it is too late. She does not want Feng Wan to enter the Zhang family. The Zhang family is the seventh.
One of the big aristocratic families, it is indeed a prominent family, and there are many promising children in the family. Zhang Boxing will not be the future head of the Zhang family. Under the protection, he will indeed have a good future, and he is not a stubborn person. But because of the complicated relationship
, Feng Wan will definitely suffer when she gets married. If her husband is considerate and devoted after marriage, it will be fine. But if she has three wives and four concubines, Feng Wan will have to endure hardship for twenty or thirty years before she can live a comfortable life.
