Chapter 45 Laba Porridge
No one knew what Lu Weiyu needed these four wives for.

But Mrs. Lu, Mrs. Lu and Butler Zhou.

But everyone knew that she didn't have enough manpower in Qingfengyuan, not even a woman to carry a warm sedan chair.

They also found out about Lin Shenghua looking for someone outside to come in.

This matter has been cleared, so it will not lead to speculation.

The next day, Lu Weiyu asked the four women to take care of Liu'er and the others in the house.

Seeing such a young girl being beaten so badly by the aunt in the mansion, the mothers-in-law from these four villages were immediately outraged.

Their family also raises a daughter, and it hurts my mother's heart to beat her son.

In just one day, these four people had an excellent relationship with Liu Er and the others.

Lu Weiyu was satisfied with the result, and also promoted the four of them to be the head wives of Qingfengyuan, and they were officially registered.

Even the daughter-in-law, the eldest lady, cannot be equipped with four housekeepers.

But Lu Weiyu is the eldest daughter of the surrogate mother.

It's just that she has been recuperating for the past half month.

Except for regulating Chunyueyuan and Yuehuaxuan at first, she didn't really get involved in the general affairs of the mansion.

But that doesn't mean she won't care about it all the time.

As long as Mrs. Uncle's illness is still not good, the power of the mistress in charge of the house will always be handed over to the eldest daughter.

As long as Lu Weiyu can do this well, and don't make any mistakes that will cause the Patriarch and Mistress to withdraw their family rights.

Then, her Qingfengyuan has four principal maids, three first-class maids, four second-class maids, six third-class maids, and six coarse envoys.

What's the problem? !

After all, in the past half a month, she has only added four women and two maids.

The news spread everywhere, but it didn't cause too much gossip.

Except for Aunt Yang who has headaches and brain cramps from time to time these days.

With the attitude of the old lady, the servants no longer dare to stand in line randomly.

Even the servants in Chunyue Court did not dare to make random decisions.

Just according to the housekeeper Zhou's instructions, I used ginger soup as tea for Aunt Yang to drink every day.

Unexpectedly, after three days, Aunt Yang's symptoms of wind and cold were mild, except for the headache from time to time.

Even the servants of Chunyueyuan don't really believe in Aunt Yang's stuff, let alone other people?
All of a sudden, even the voices of servants carrying Aunt Yang behind their backs and being unable to get on the stage increased a lot.

In the past, I thought the eldest lady was spoiled, but now I look at it coldly, and I realize how wronged the eldest lady is.

Many things seem to be a little different since the head of the family went out.

Some disadvantages that are usually invisible are also easily revealed.

It also indirectly shows that in the past, Aunt Yang relied on the favor of the head of the family to cover up a lot of bad deeds.

Movements outside kept coming back to Qingfengyuan.

Lu Weiyu just chuckled, not letting the people in his courtyard talk about these things.

And don't let people think that these voices are Qingfengyuan fanning the flames and lighting the fire.

In the past few days, Housekeeper Zhou didn't take care of the trivial matters of Chunyue Courtyard. He was in charge of giving out Laba porridge, and he was almost ready.

Laba Festival is a Buddhist festival from the north.

But the real significance of the prevalence in the capital is that it is a ceremony for rich families to give porridge and do good deeds on this day in response to the Buddhist festival.

Many families who want to win good fame will gather in the area of ​​Chenghuang Temple in the west of the city on this day, and set up porridge sheds to serve porridge in conjunction with temple celebrations.

Others took the opportunity to donate money, gifts, and food.

While showing wealth and strength, it can also win a good reputation.

Gradually a new custom was formed.

Every year it comes to this day.

Some poor people or homeless people will gather at the Town God's Temple in advance, waiting to receive money and food.

If there are more big families who do good deeds on this day, these people can also lead a few more families, so that they can accumulate a small amount and live a good year.

If there are fewer big families who do good deeds on this day, they can still receive a bowl of Laba porridge, which is better than nothing.

There are also some families who focus on doing good deeds or praying for their families. They will definitely appear in front of the Town God's Temple every year and gradually become famous.

One of them is Wuchangbo Mansion.

Wuchang Bofu has no family background and has been favored for generations.

However, Wuchang Bo of the first generation was the general of the Southern Daying Camp in Gyeonggi.

That is, the ancestors who now live in Zhuangzi.

The ancestor had only one legitimate son, Lu Tingzhi, who once served as the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, but died of illness at a young age.

Although he was posthumously awarded the first-rank general Xuanwei, it has always been a pain for the Bo family.

It is also a topic of whispered discussion by outsiders. They all say that Uncle Wuchang was very murderous and restrained his son.

Even the grandson Lu Tianyao, the current Wuchang Bo, was too weak to practice martial arts since he was a child, so he had to abandon martial arts and go into business.

Later, he married a general's daughter-in-law and came in, although she gave birth to a pair of children.

But this body is also getting sicker and sicker, and when winter comes, he just resigns himself to his fate and lives for a while.

Although the first old uncle had stepped down as Minister of the Ministry of War, and Zhuangzi, who lived outside the city, seldom entered the capital, these rumors never dissipated.

Since then, Bofu has donated porridge and food every year, and has never stopped doing good deeds and accumulating blessings.

Not only the Town God's Temple in the city, but also the Shuiyun Nunnery, Xiangyun Temple and some poor villages outside the city.

Every year, a lot of money and food are donated, as well as winter quilts, cotton, charcoal and other things to keep out the cold.

If there is a disaster year, they will actively raise food for disaster relief. This is not a secret in many places in the Great Xia Dynasty.

Even the emperor praised Wuchangbo's mansion as a family of good people, and there must be blessings.

The Laba Festival is coming again this year.

Lu Tianyao hasn't come back yet, Mrs. Lu is still the same, she is more sleepy than awake.

Butler Zhou naturally came to talk to Lu Weiyu about giving out porridge.

This is what the butler has been responsible for for many years.

Lu Weiyu just listened to what he said about various matters, and did not interfere indiscriminately.

However, Lu Weiyu explained another thing.

On the day of Laba, she will take her younger brother to her uncle's house to deliver porridge.

The porridge given by the superior can be described as giving.

The low-ranking people send porridge as a gift.

As a junior, her siblings would go to pay respects to their uncle every year on Laba Day, and sending porridge was just a incidental ceremony.

Coincidentally, Laba day is also the birthday of my cousin Lin Xueqi.

Lin Xueqi was only one month older than Lu Weiyu, and they had a good relationship when they were young, but they didn't know when the relationship went far.

It's just that Lu Weiyu in the previous life didn't know some things, and was always on the cusp of the storm, unable to argue.

this life...

Lu Weiyu curled her lips slightly, but didn't take it to heart.

After recuperating for more than half a month, the eldest cousin came to visit, and the second cousin came to give an apology and made a promise from the bottom of his heart.

She always wants to take this opportunity to give back, don't kill her before she gets ready, and she will be besieged by all sides.

After telling Butler Zhou to prepare the gift.

She also asked Mrs. Fang, one of the newly appointed women in charge, to send two sets of new clothes that had just been delivered to Yuancuixuan.

To another little concubine, Lu Yunyun.

Lu Yunyun hasn't gone out since it snowed.

It is also because there have been a lot of things in the mansion in the past half a month, and there have been constant disputes since she fell into the lake.

Aunt Xu, who has always kept a low profile, naturally would not let Lu Yunyun go out, so as not to be implicated.

Just taking advantage of the snow and cold weather, the children were locked in the house to read and write, and learn female celebrities. The reasons are impeccable.

Lu Weiyu knew it well, and would not make things difficult for Aunt Xu.

On the contrary, someone sent plum cakes to Lu Yunyun twice.

Aunt Xu will also come and bring back the words written by Lu Yunyun, saying that she is asking my sister-in-law to guide me a little bit.

When Lu Weiyu compared Lu Yunyun's handwriting with Lu Zheng's, he was sent back and praised a few times.

Although the two sides have not met, but this contact, the relationship is naturally harmonious.
