Because he was not allowed to light the lamp, he naturally went to bed very early that day.

It was still dark the next day, so Xiang Ling got up in the dark, first woke up Yu Chui'er, and then urged Jiao Shun to get up for morning exercises.

Jiao Shun yawned and stretched out a thick arm outside. He immediately felt a biting chill and quickly retracted it, complaining vaguely: "When did the fire start? I'm really going to freeze to death."

"

After saying that, he took advantage of the opportunity and circled Jade Chuan'er back into his arms, and said lazily: "Today is a special case, so I won't do morning exercises for now."

After hearing this, Yu Chuan'er hurriedly took off the coat she had just put on, and put it into a ball on her pillow.

If it were anyone else, he would probably have given up at this time. Pian Xiangling was a more serious person and said with a little face: "Since I have vowed to strengthen my body, how can I make an exception so easily? Kuang Zhuzi once said, 'No inch of time is worth taking lightly.

',If not..."

"You are the only one who has many harsh words!"

Yu Chuan'er raised her head from Jiao Shun's arms and said with a smile: "You have only read a few books, but you fell in front of the uncle and picked up the text!"

Xiangling hurriedly explained: "I, I didn't, I just wanted to..."

"okay."

Jiao Shun quickly got up from the bed, stretched and said: "What Xiang Ling said is true. This time I am really slacking off."

As he said that, he lifted up the quilt and sat on the bedside, and joked: "But when I made an exception last night, why didn't you stop me?"

Xiang Ling immediately blushed and was speechless.

Yu Chuan'er was about to add insult to injury, but was urged by Jiao Shun: "My wife probably got up early today, so hurry up and pack up and go over to take care of her."

She didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly put on her clothes. First, she and Xiangling served Jiao Shun to get dressed, then she left Xiangling alone to serve Jiao Shun to wash up, and then went to the main room to serve him.

Jiao Shun was able to wash himself. While flexing his muscles and stretching his limbs, he ordered Xiang Ling to spread a felt blanket on the ground. He also took out homemade utensils and worked on it for about three quarters of an hour.

I was sweating all over my body, and then I went to the main room to eat.

Just after eating two bites here, Liu Changyou had already arrived outside. Jiao Shun had to pick up some hungry food to make up for his hunger, and hurried to the east wing to meet him.

Without exchanging a few words, Liu Changyou was about to present the gift, but Jia Lian sent someone to invite Jiao Shun to attend the ground-breaking ceremony.

By the way, Jiao led Liu Changyou to the back garden and introduced him to everyone in the house.

After exchanging pleasantries, we saw Chenshi [seven o'clock in the morning]. As Lai Da shouted, "The auspicious time has arrived," the garden immediately started to blare with drums and harps.

Jia Zheng first dug a few shovels of soil from Zhengdong, then Jia Zhen went to the south, Jia Lian looked to the west, and Baoyu went to the north. Each took half a basket of soil, personally mentioned the place where the gods were worshiped in the middle, and gathered together a small altar.

.

Lai Sheng and Lin Zhixiao set up the offering table in front of the altar.

Finally, Jia She took out three pieces of bright yellow sandalwood incense that were as thick as a child's arms and about four feet [about 1.3 meters] long, inserted them on the altar and lit them.

The men of some rank in the mansion, including Jiao Shun, all bowed respectfully in front of the altar.

Lai Da then gave another order, and thirty-six of the nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine firecrackers were lit at the same time, exploding into red pieces all over the ground.

Immediately afterwards, the back door opened, and dozens of large trucks rushed in to deliver things.

There were another one or two hundred workers gathered at several of the most conspicuous pavilions and pavilions, either using wooden blocks or ropes. After a while, they saw that the Hu La La building had collapsed, and the ruins of the ruins had filled the sky with smoke and dust, which even covered the sun.

Miserably dizzy.

…………

But he said it was early that morning.

There were also more than twenty large cars parked inside and outside Lixiangyuan, but Aunt Xue's family was moving in.

This is because the Lixiang Courtyard is about to be expanded into the Grand View Garden. When the partition walls are removed in a few days, the courtyard will be surrounded by four sweaty coolies. Naturally, it will be difficult for people to live in it, especially someone like Aunt Xue.

A widowed person.

For such a big matter, Li Wan, who is temporarily in charge of the family, has to take care of it.

And because Youshi had laid an ambush earlier, he also dragged her to Lixiangyuan to accompany her.

Hearing the sound of firecrackers in the back garden, Aunt Xue apologized: "This is a big day for breaking earth to worship the gods, but I still want to join in the fun and distract you..."

"What did aunt say?"

Li Wan said hurriedly: "It was obvious that our family was too anxious and didn't even have time to move around, so we rushed the matter to one place - I reported it to the old lady when I came, and the old lady made a special trip to ask me to give it to my aunt.

I apologize so that you don’t blame our house for the lack of etiquette.”

Seeing that the two of them were still trying to be polite, Youshi covered her mouth and said with a smile: "We are all from the same family, but why are we talking about two different families?"

Everyone laughed.

You Shi pretended to be curious again and said: "But I don't know what the regulations are for breaking the earth to worship the gods. Have any of you seen it with your own eyes? I heard that the next door is so lively, I am very curious."

"this……"

Aunt Xue and Li Wan looked at each other, then both shook their heads and said, "It's not the fault of a small family. It is unavoidable. Otherwise, how could we women see these scenes?"

Youshi then suggested: "I just saw a small hill outside the courtyard, right next to the partition wall of the back garden. How about going up to a higher place and taking a closer look to broaden your horizons?"

What she has been thinking about day and night these days has almost become an obsession.

I originally wanted to take advantage of the chaos of the earth-shattering sacrifice to the gods to have a private discussion with Jiao Shun in this Xifu.

Unexpectedly, he was dragged into Lixiangyuan by Li Wan. Now that he didn't have a chance to go for a ride, he thought it would be nice to take a look from a distance.

"this……"

Li Wan looked troubled, but Aunt Xue smiled and said: "I'm afraid I can't stand the wind - if you want to see it, let the people below clean it up, and let Baochai accompany you."

Li Wan also hurriedly said: "Then I won't go either. I'll just stay here with my aunt."

But Youshi still insisted on going to see the "rare thing", so Baochai had no choice but to accompany her.

The two of them rushed out of Lixiangyuan, where a rough lady had already swept the pavilion on the top of the mountain to be spotless, and set up a spring stool, a foot stove, and a table of dried fruit preserves.

When they reached the top of the mountain, Youshi looked far into the distance and saw crowds of people surging everywhere in the courtyard. Among the hustle and bustle, there were two places that stood out the most.

One place is a rockery in the garden. Jia She, Jia Zheng, Jia Zhen, Jia Lian, Baoyu and others are all watching and pointing on the wall on the top of the mountain.

One place is in front of the altar in the center, where Jiao Shun is setting up a major case alone. On the left are Liu Changyou and Shan Ziye, on the right are Lai Da, Lai Sheng, and Lin Zhixiao. Below, the stewards are like a revolving door and come forward to report the matter.

You couldn't help but murmured: "You are said to be the supervisor, but why do you entrust him with everything?"

Xue Baochai smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, don't you know the principle of 'Those who work hard will govern others, and those who work hard will govern others'?"

If it had been before, Youshi might have agreed with her words.

But now that she was having extraneous intentions, she naturally changed her perspective when looking at the problem, secretly wondering which of the young and old in this house had bothered? They were all just hand-off shopkeepers!

Just at this moment, a Nuange not far away suddenly collapsed.

Countless smoke and dust rolled up to a height of 10 feet and headed this way!

"Quick, take the girl and grandma to get away!"

Ying'er exclaimed, first protected Baochai and ran down the mountain.

Next to you, Youshi and Yindie were only one step late.

By the time the four people hurried down the mountain, the smoke and dust were already approaching, and it would be too late to escape back to Lixiangyuan.

Seeing that he was about to end up in disgrace, he heard a servant girl shout: "There is a cave behind here. Grandma and the girl should go in and hide!"

Youshi and Baochai seemed to have been granted amnesty, and then they hurriedly returned to the cave.

This cave is not big, but it is surprisingly clean and tidy, as if it has been taken care of by someone.

Xue Baochai looked around and suddenly saw something carved on the mountain wall. He subconsciously went over to take a closer look, but it was the word "Zheng Ding". He couldn't help but wonder: "What kind of allusion is this?"

Youshi also stepped forward to take a look, but was as confused as she was.

In the end, Yindie finally made the point: "I think it's not the main character, but half of the second main character."

Xue Baochai was inspired by her and suddenly said: "Yes, I heard that some people used to use the word 'zheng' to count. Could it mean 'seven', but I don't know what they are memorizing? Who is counting in this remote place?"

Everyone's random guesses, some of which are absurd or bizarre, are just for fun.

Inside, only Ying'er was moved by the scene, frowning in thought.
