Rebirth of the leisurely life in ancient times

Xia Cheng bowed and retreated after hearing this. Xia Zixuan watched him leave and said to Mu Chenyi, "Ayi, let's go and have dinner first!"

When Su Baiyu heard that they were back, he came over and said, "I thought you weren't coming back for dinner!"

Mu Chenyi glared at him without saying anything. Xia Zixuan smiled and said, "Why wouldn't you come back? Second Brother Su can eat first if he's hungry."

Su Baiyu heard this and said, "It's okay, let's wait for you to come back and eat together. Okay, let's go eat!"

Xia Zixuan said with a smile: "Okay, let's go!"

The winter is bitterly cold, but the plum blossoms bloom in the wind.

Today is the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, the day for slaughtering chickens and going to the market, and every household has begun to prepare New Year's goods.

Eating chicken during the Chinese New Year is a tradition since ancient times. Because "chicken" is homophonic with "good luck", even if the chicken is slaughtered, it will not be eaten on this day, but will be saved for the New Year's Eve dinner.

As the saying goes, children, don't be greedy. After Laba, it's New Year. On the 23rd, you can have sticky sugar melons. On the 24th, you can sweep the house. On the 25th, you can make tofu. On the 26th, you can kill a pig and cut a piece of meat. On that day, there was a pig butcher in the village. Xia Zixuan bought half a pig and brought it back. Now she can eat pork later...

Today, Xia Zixuan plans to go to the town to buy New Year's goods while Mu Chenyi is here. Otherwise, she doesn't want to go out after they all leave.

When Mu Chenyi came down from the mountain, Xia Zixuan asked, "Ayi, do you want to go to the town with me to buy New Year's goods?"

Mu Chenyi nodded and said, "Okay, when are we going?"

Mu Chenyi came today to tell Xia Zixuan that he would be going back tomorrow. His mother knew that he was in good health and had written to urge him several times.

Xia Zixuan said: "Let's set off after breakfast."

Su Baiyu heard this and said quickly: "Zixuan, I want to go too."

Xia Zixuan smiled and nodded, "Okay, Second Brother Su, go eat! We'll be leaving soon."

Su Baiyu said excitedly: "Come on, come on, let's eat quickly, Jinghe, serve the food."

He hasn't bought any New Year's goods yet! This time he wants to experience it, but unfortunately he can't celebrate the New Year here and eat the New Year's Eve dinner at Xia Zixuan's house.

After hearing what Su Baiyu said, Jing He bowed and said, "Yes, young lady and the two gentlemen, please wait a moment, the food will be here soon."

Xia Zixuan waved her hand and said, "Well, Jinghe, you go downstairs and eat first."

Jinghe saluted and said, "Yes, young lady."

After finishing their meal, they took a carriage and headed straight to the town of Dongnuanmian.

I also brought Zhiqiu and Zhishu home today. The people in the shop are already familiar with the operating procedures, so Zhiqiu and Zhishu don't need to watch over them anymore.

When they arrived at the shop and saw that the number of customers was still the same as before, Xia Zixuan did not disturb them. She asked Le Shan to drive the carriage to the back door and park it, and then she took Mu Chenyi and the others to the street.

They first went to a candy shop, and Xia Zixuan bought five kilograms of candy, and then gave it to the children when they returned home during the New Year.

She went to buy some pastries and walked to the meat shop. There happened to be lamb on sale today, so Xia Zixuan bought half a lamb.

Mu Chenyi called Ying Er and said, "Go and deliver the mutton to the shop first."

Ying Er heard this and said, "Yes, Master."

I bought a lot of things and didn't go back until noon.

Whether it was Su Baiyu's hands or Ying Yi and the others' hands, they were all full of things at this time.

Even Mu Chenyi had some things in his hands. He asked lovingly, "Is there anything else you want to buy?"

Xia Zixuan smiled and said, "Let's not buy it yet. It's already noon. Let's go eat first, and then go to the clothing store to buy some clothes."

Mu Chenyi said softly, "Okay, I'll listen to you. Let's go! Let's go to the Fresh Food Pavilion first."

Xia Zixuan nodded and said, "Okay."

He took some more things from Jinghe and said, "You must be tired! Let me get some."

Jinghe was indeed tired, but she didn't want her daughter to be tired, so she said, "Girl, I'm not tired."

Xia Zixuan looked at her and almost couldn't breathe. She said in a serious tone, "Don't be so stubborn. Your daughter is not a powerless person."

Mu Chenyi looked at the master and servant and said, "Let me get it! Aren't you hungry? Let's go!"

Mu Chenyi took some things from Jinghe and said to Xia Zixuan.

Xia Zixuan saw Mu Chenyi take the things over, so she didn't insist. She nodded and said, "Well, let's go!"

A group of people carried a bunch of things and walked towards Pinxian Pavilion.

After arriving at the Fresh Food Pavilion not long after, Xia Zixuan looked at the people coming and going and whispered, "Why are there so many people today?"
