However, it was said that Zhang Hui followed Chen in the car and went to Chenghui Hall together. At this moment, the ladies in Chenghui Hall have changed their homely clothes, and Wu Taijun is crooked on the couch, pulling Hong to sit on the pestle near her. Li sat on the chair next to her, Zhang Yao's wife Zhou, and Zhang Bi's wife Ji stood behind her, and the surrounding maids held plates of peanuts and fruits - the girls were laughing and having fun together. Seeing Chen and Zhang Hui coming in, Hong hurriedly got up and greeted Zhou and Ji. Zhang Hui only glanced at it, and saw that the great-grandson and daughter-in-law who were waiting were not in the house, and knew that his father had already come to ask Wu Taijun for peace, so the sisters-in-law avoided it. So he first saluted his great-grandmother Wu Taijun, and then saw his grandmother, mother and two aunts, and then sat down in front of him along with Wu Taijun's beckoning. Chen also smiled and sat down under the eldest sister-in-law Li.

Here Wu Taijun asked Zhang Hui: "Have you seen it over there in Dongfu?" Seeing Zhang Hui nodding, he smiled again: "I'm afraid that the little brothers and sisters will not recognize each other." ”

Zhang Hui hurriedly smiled and answered them one by one. Wu Taijun listened, then nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Brother Yan has always been sensible, and he helped him teach his brothers well." Hui Yatou is also a clever girl. When you were young, you used to play together, and when you grew up, you should be close to each other. Looking at Chen, he said with a smile: "It's always your second wife who thinks thoughtfully, this time while everything is complete, let me meet first, so as not to make a joke that the family doesn't recognize the family, it's not good in front of your old man." So he said to his granddaughters-in-law Zhou and Ji: "In this house, Brother Ying'er's family is here, and the girls haven't seen it yet, so go and call them over - the big and the small are here." The Zhou family and the Ji family hurriedly bowed down and went out of the house to give instructions in person.

Wu Taijun was satisfied, turned around and took Zhang Hui's hand and said with a smile: "Your sixth uncle's little sister, you didn't know how to call people when you left home, and now you even start to read "Poems of a Thousand Families". After a while, it will be lively and lively, and it will also alert you, who is a brother. ”

After thinking about it a little, Zhang Hui knew that he was talking about the young daughter of the sixth uncle Zhang Bi, named Shu Min, and said with a smile: "Sister Min is only a few years old, she can read this, it seems that there is another female poet on the door of my Zhang family." It must be taught well by the old lady, the old lady, and the six uncles and six aunts. ”

Wu Taijun said: "What can I teach? It's not a man's family that reads and learns etiquette, but also can study and travel everywhere like you, and your own family can still read white characters at every turn, where can I read poetry? I just say a sentence or two if I can understand it, and if I don't understand it, I can't hear it!" Everyone laughed along.

Zhang replied: "The old lady is old and knowledgeable, and she knows the most allusions to the world, and it is also a good poem to make up two sentences casually." ”

Wu Taijun hurriedly patted his hand and said, "You are boasting again! The praise is boundless, where can you ask these reading children to stand?" Holding Zhang Hui's hand, he pulled him to look at it carefully, and for a moment the look of love on his face appeared, and he only said in his mouth: "Fang is in a hurry, this time I look at it seriously, a face has lost more than half of my weight, and it is so hard to study outside?"

Zhang Hui hurriedly said: "Where is the hard work, but the rest on the road in the past two days is unstable, and it shows its shape in front of the old lady, all because Su Ri is too pampered." Besides, it is the duty of children and grandchildren to study reasonably, and no matter how hard they work, they should be. ”

Wu Taijun said: "You are outside, how can you be spoiled by yourself? Hmph, I know that you, like your father, are bitter and difficult to stuff in your own belly, and when you talk to me, you will smear honey on the tip of your tongue, just to listen to it and be happy. Saying that, he turned his head angrily, not wanting that the maid on the side had just brought tea and snacks, and Hong was taking it with his own hands, Wu Taijun looked at it, and saw that the cloud cake with sesame seeds and walnuts was ordered on the plate, and immediately grabbed the conversation again, pointed to the dim sum and replied to Zhang: "Look, look! Isn't this what you brought from Nanjing?" Sure enough, I said, the tip of the tongue is the best way to wipe honey -- otherwise, why did you specially pick this and send it?"

When everyone in the room heard this, they couldn't stop laughing. Zhang Hui also smiled, stood up and took the dim sum plate from his mother Hong's hand, placed it on a small table in front of the couch, and took a small porcelain plate from the maid's hand, and carefully picked two pieces of cake with a silver hairpin, and then held the plate with both hands and handed it to Wu Taijun, but said in his mouth: "If you say something else, your great-grandson doesn't dare to argue." But if I say this, my ancestor has wronged me. ”

Wu Taijun raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and he didn't take his plate, but only asked, "Why did you wrong?" ”

Zhang Hui smiled and said: "This cake was brought by the great-grandson from Nanjing, but it was not bought elsewhere, it was specially asked by the aunt and wife of Nanjing to make it, and the eldest uncle solemnly ordered the great-grandson to bring it back to honor the old lady." The aunt and uncle said that the old lady loves to eat these soft snacks on weekdays, and this is specially made, not too sweet, and it is the old lady's spleen and stomach. This time, my great-grandson happened to come from Nanjing's house, so he hurried to make a dozen catties of new products overnight, and asked me to offer the old lady, and even my father's birthday was not worth a share, where did I dare to steal my mouth? Only now in front of the old lady, can I catch some light, pick up some star foam, not to mention leaving marks on the tip of my tongue, and even wiping the skin of my mouth is not enough!"

Wu Taijun heard Zhang Hui say that his eldest daughter and grandson personally made pastries for filial piety, and the little feint on his face had already disappeared, and when he saw him wiping his mouth with cakes, he laughed even more, paused to his feet, pointed to Zhang Hui and said to Li and Chen: "What a monkey, why don't you take this monkey cub for me!

When Li Shi heard this, he hurriedly got up and pulled Zhang Hui and replied, "Hui'er, you can be more stable!" and called the maid again and again to take a basin of water and a handkerchief to wipe his hands and mouth with him. On the side, Chen smiled and said: "This time it is indeed the old lady who wronged Brother Ying'er, how can she complain about Brother Ying'er? Although this cake is small, it is the filial piety of the eldest aunt, Uncle Xing and Brother Ying'er. When everyone saw it, they laughed again.

Wu Taijun also laughed and said: "I was teased by Brother Ying'er when I was talking about it, but now even you are making fun of me! Let's stop making trouble, let's eat cakes together. ”

Wu Taijun spoke, and the maids on the left and right hurriedly served a small plate for single use. At this time, Zhou and Ji brought in five or six girls, the eldest was twelve or thirteen years old, and the younger was only two or three years old, all of whom were cousins of the head of the long house and Zhang Hui's generation -- some still remembered their cousins, and some did not recognize Zhang Hui at all; they all saluted their great-grandmother first, and Wu Taijun ordered Zhou to take them back to see each other in the same chapter. When they were saluting one by one, there were girls from the second landlord's mansion, led by the Yin family, to pay their respects. Wu Taijun saw that his great-granddaughter was full of flowers, and his heart became more and more happy, and he told everyone to sit at ease and use snacks with him.

After listening to the origin of the dim sum, everyone thanked Wu Taijun for the reward, and then ate two small pieces of cake and a cup of tea under the service of the maid. After eating tea, the dishes were all removed, and the girls got up and saluted together, led by Shu Hui, the longest, and retreated to the inner room of the back.

Here, Zhang Hui served Wu Taijun to wipe his hands with a handkerchief before sitting down. Wu Taijun thought that the cake he ate tasted really good, and when he looked at Zhang Hui, he became more and more happy, so he smiled and said: "Sure enough, it is the filial piety of a few of you, but I can't say that you are a monkey." It's just that the kid is not honest, since it was your aunt and uncle who specially brought it, why didn't they explain it early in the morning, and let them bring it quietly? Besides, how are your aunt and uncle in Nanjing, the in-laws are all fine, and they don't mention a word, what are the rules?"

Zhang Hui smiled: "I knew that this was the case at home, but I just hated that I couldn't gather people all at once, and I was only happy when I said everything once." The old lady asked, the father's side, the second uncle's side, and the fourth uncle's side have all asked, and now with the old lady's side, it should be the fourth time. It's not a side matter, you can't cut chapters, and you can't abbreviate words and sentences, you have to answer them all, in the end, it's good to tell them all over again. ”

When everyone heard what he said, they couldn't help but laugh again. Chen laughed even more, and said: "When he was at home, the old men always said 'young and old', and their words and deeds were the most steady, and I saw that they really didn't see the shape of this kid in front of the old lady. But that's okay, although I've been out for three years, Brother Ying is still our family's Brother Ying'er, and he is the little great-grandson who has no shape in front of the old lady!"

Wu Taijun smiled: "You come together to say this again, I can find it, the boy is so stubborn, you are the one who indulges it!"

Chen said: "Such a good grandson, who is a grandmother and elder who refuses to indulge? It's just that the old lady blindly talks about me, but she doesn't want to listen to my brother talk about the affairs of the eldest aunt's wife?"

Wu Taijun hurriedly said: "It's not that you provoked me to speak?" Brother Ying ignored her, you can say it." ”

Zhang responded, and then saluted and said: "Old lady, Nanjing's aunt's wife, aunt's aunt's wife's peace, aunt's aunt's family uncles are safe." The in-laws are loyal to the old general and the old lady of the palace, and the house is safe and small. The eldest aunt's wife, the eldest uncle's aunt and the eldest aunt's wife, the old general, his wife, and the general's mansion all asked the old lady about her safety, and asked the old lady here how good they were. ”

Zhang Hui said here that everyone in the house, starting from the Li family, to the maids, grandmothers, and daughters-in-law, couldn't help but laugh when they heard this string of an. Duwu Taijun is still strong and upright, listening to him speak seriously. However, after Zhang Hui finished speaking, he raised his head, his eyes touched her, Wu Taijun couldn't hold back in the end, laughed out loud, stretched out his hand and hugged his neck, and said: "Good monkey, biao egg head! You can say it best with one mouth! You can say it like this, but you also have to be careful, your grandfather's house is windy, and when you talk to him for the fifth time in a while, be careful, flash your villain's tongue!"

Before this sentence was finished, a girl said back and forth: "Old lady, the old man's house is here." Wu Taijun was stunned when he heard this, and then he was so happy that he pushed Zhang back and said: "Look, what do I say? Go quickly, go quickly, say go for the fifth time!" While calling another big girl pomegranate, he commanded: "Pomegranate, you and the young master went to see the master together." Speaking of my words, we girls are all fine, but we are tired of the day, so we need to eat dinner early and rest. He didn't have to come in again to say goodbye, and the other gentlemen didn't have to be formal. Let Brother Ying salute the elders and return to me to serve. "The pomegranate answered. Zhang Hui saluted, and went to the front yard with her.
