It is a custom in Wu that from the first day to the third day of the new year, one must "close the door to prevent ghosts".Yu Wenche has been busy for a whole year, and these three days can be regarded as completely clean. He and Chen Wangzhi are in the warm pavilion, playing chess, writing, or chatting, so happy and at ease.

"Qi'er told me that the first day of the first lunar month is the day of the rooster, the second day is the day of the dog, and the third day is the day of the pig," Chen Wangzhi said while fiddling with a brand-new belt, "Well, the fourth day is the day of the sheep, and the fifth day is the day of the cow." Day, six days, six days..."

Yu Wenche leaned against the smoked cage and said with a smile, "What is Six Days?"

"Let's think about it, I clearly remembered it." Chen Wangzhi's eyes were clear, and a small red paper flower was hung in his hair, "Ah, the sixth day is the cow's day. The seventh day is the human day."

"That's right, Yue Nu has memorized everything." Yu Wenche squeezed a crystal ring from the tray placed at his feet, "Here, reward."

"It's so beautiful." Chen Wangzhi happily took the crystal ring, put it on his index finger and twirled it around.The crystal ring is an accessory, and it is more than enough to fit on his thumb.He held the crystal ring in his palm and played with it for a while, then opened a small leather pouch hanging on the belt, put the crystal ring in, then fastened the bag tightly, patted his waist, and said to himself, "Okay."

Yu Wenche pinched the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, "Did you put all the things I gave you in there?"

Chen Wangzhi said, "I want to keep it well—you gave it to me." He looked quite serious, protecting the bag with his palm, and Yu Wenche couldn't help laughing, "I gave it to you, and since I gave it to you, I won't give it to you." Will come back." Chen Wangzhi said, "If you want to come back, I won't give it to you." Dong Qi'er, who was sitting in the corner, coughed suddenly, Chen Wangzhi stuck out his tongue, and said in a low voice, "I was wrong, I was 'smug' again .”

Yu Wenche promoted Dong Qi'er to be an internal secretary.Neisi is the head of female officials in Taicheng, and has the same position as Shangshu in the previous dynasty.Dong Qi'er's expression can be seen, but he is not happy, instead showing a sense of nervousness from time to time.Chen Wangzhi was ignorant and naive, he only thought that Dong Qier was afraid, and murmured in Yu Wenche's arms at night, "Sister Qier is afraid that you will be angry, so don't scold her in the future, okay?"

Yu Wenche picked up a piece of soufflé, put it into Chen Wangzhi's mouth, and brushed his messy hair, "Isn't Dong Neisi cold sitting there? Come and sit."

Dong Qi'er smiled forcedly, and bowed twice, "Your servant is sitting here, not cold."

"Come here, let's talk and chat. Yue Nu forgot about the Chinese New Year, and I don't understand it very well. How about Dong Neisi to explain it." Yu Wenche smiled, "Cheng Qing is also sitting, you are busy on weekdays, It’s Chinese New Year now, so there’s no need to pay so much attention.”

Cheng Qing hurriedly thanked her, and the two maids moved the embroidered pier, Cheng Qing and Dong Qi'er each sat down after another salutation.Chen Wangzhi said, "I heard that Zigu is welcome on the fifteenth day of the first month."

During the years when Yu Wenche was a proton in Qi State, he also saw people from Qi welcome Zigu during Chinese New Year. It was very lively, "It seems to be like this."

Chen Wangzhi put his hands on his knees, his eyes widened, "Welcome to Zigu, who is Zigu? The aunt in the purple shirt?"

Yu Wenche said, "I don't know about that. Does Cheng Qing know who Zigu is?"

Cheng Qingdao, "I heard that Zigu was a woman, and she died in anger. To welcome Zigu on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, you can ask about silkworms. But I entered the palace as a young man. I can't remember the specific story, so I have to ask about it." Ask Neisi Dong." As he spoke, Dong Qi'er lowered his head and said softly, "I heard from my mother that Zigu is a poor girl. Her family is very poor, so she has no choice but to become a concubine of a rich family. Hu's wife was jealous and abused Zigu in every possible way, and killed her in the toilet on the night of the fifteenth day of the first month. The gods in the sky took pity on Zigu and ordered her to be the god of the toilet. Therefore, on the fifteenth day of the first month, Zigu was welcomed .”

Yu Wenche said, "So that's the case." Chen Wangzhi was in a daze, and said, "Zi Gu is really pitiful, why did the rich man's wife kill her? Is it because she is beautiful?"

Dong Qi'er was taken aback, "Mother didn't talk about this. But the servant thinks, it must be Zigu's beauty, and the rich family loves her more, so the main wife is jealous."

Seeing that Chen Wangzhi was depressed, Yu Wenche changed the topic and said, "Aside from welcoming Zigu on the fifteenth day of the first month, is there anything else to do? I remember, to sacrifice to the Silkworm God or something."

Dong Qier said, "Yes, I still want to be Yinanchan."

Yu Wenche's thoughts moved slightly, "Yi Nanchan?"

Dong Qier buried her head even lower, "It is made of daylilies in the shape of a cicada and worn by pregnant women. It is said that it can give birth to boys."

Yu Wenche pondered for a long time, twisted a strand of Chen Wangzhi's hair between his fingers, and said slowly after a long while, "There is a saying that 'a hundred li has different customs, a thousand li has different customs'. It is really interesting to pay attention to the Chinese New Year."

Chen Wangzhi was depressed after hearing Zigu's story.After a few sips of soup for dinner, he said he was going to take a bath.The Longevity Palace has a hot spring, which is uniquely endowed by nature. Dong Qier wanted to go and serve her, but Chen Wangzhi shook his head and said, "I want to wash myself."

Dong Qier hesitated, "But..."

"Can Yue Nu do it by herself?" Yu Wenche came over and said softly, "Let the nephew wash with you, isn't she always with you?"

Chen Wangzhi sighed, "I can wash it myself. If it's Chinese New Year, let Sister Qi'er take a break." He was depressed, and Yu Wenche said, "Okay, you wash it yourself. I'll let someone wait outside. If you have something to say, just say so. Can you?"

Dong Qi'er looked at Chen Wangzhi, and Chen Wangzhi said, "Yes." Yu Wenche asked Cheng Qing to accompany Chen Wangzhi with four small yellow doors, and said, "You are only outside, don't peep." Cheng Qing agreed, and accompanied Chen Wangzhi to take a bath .Yu Wenche stared at Chen Wangzhi's back, and suddenly said, "Dong Neisi seems to have something to say?"

"I don't dare." Dong Qi'er hurriedly knelt down, "I just, just—"

Yu Wenche sat behind the screen and greeted, "Commissioner, come and talk." He also had something to ask Dong Qier.Dong Qi'er walked around the screen and knelt down again. Yu Wenche smiled and said, "Yuenu pities you for your hard work, let's just sit and talk. It's a good thing that I promoted you to be the secretary. Why are you so unhappy these days? Do you want other rewards?"

Dong Qi'er said, "The servants dare not. The servants have been in the palace for decades, and they have no talent and virtue, so it is embarrassing."

"You take care of Yue Nu and do your best. I see it in my eyes and remember it in my heart. I think you can be an in-law." Yu Wenche thought for a while, "You may as well speak up if you have something to say."

Dong Qi'er suddenly got down on the ground, kowtowed three times, and said in a trembling voice, "Slave servant... Slave servant has the courage to ask your majesty something."

Yu Wenche understood, smiled and helped Dong Qi'er up, "It's okay to ask, my boss."

Dong Qi'er twisted the silk sash around her waist, closed her eyes, made up her mind, and said, "Dare to ask your majesty, your majesty, what is... what is..." Thousands of words came to my mind for a moment, but they were incoherent .As Chen Wangzhi is a man and also the prince of the previous dynasty, it is very rare for Yu Wenche to welcome him into the palace.Recently, they have become more and more intimate, sharing the same bed, hugging and joking, and not avoiding others.Chen Wangzhi was amnesiac and ignorant, he didn't understand human affairs, and even took the initiative to throw himself into his arms, wishing he could get tired of being by Yu Wenche's side all day long. "Your Highness, he is confused, if... the servant means..."

"I understand what Naisi means." Yu Wenche chuckled, "You're asking the right question. When else do I want to tell you?"

Dong Qi'er raised her head suddenly, "Your Majesty—"

Yu Wenche suppressed his smile and said solemnly, "I want to marry him."
