The book is picked up again. said that the yellow elephant and Zhang Hui were escorted back to the room by Mrs. Zhang to rest. In the end, the two of them were young, and although they were busy all night, they were relieved after sleeping for two hours. Zhang Hui got up first, changed into a summer shirt, and sat down to drink tea in the outhouse. When the yellow elephant heard the movement, he also woke up, pulled a piece of clothing and put it on his body, and shouted hunger in his mouth. Fanlu hurriedly asked someone to quickly bring the porridge prepared, and stepped forward to serve him to rinse his mouth and clean his face. After washing, all the porridge points were delivered, Huang Xiang swept his eyes at will, and asked to remove the sweet ones first, and then pointed to the side dishes and said: "This meat and vegetarian cold salad and three threads are left, and the rest is taken away." Then he asked Zhang Hui: "Have you eaten cousin, and will you eat some more with me--there is still a lot of light at night, you only drink tea, be careful to empty your stomach, and it will be fun to gurt for a while." ”

When Zhang Hui heard this, he couldn't help laughing, and said, "You and I are like you, do you have a mill in your stomach that can't stop grinding?"

Fanlu smiled: "It was passed two minutes ago. The girls all said that today's lotus seed lily red bean soup was exceptionally good, and the taste was different from usual. When the old lady saw this, she was very pleased, and immediately called out to the cook. ”

When he was talking, Huang Xiang could hear it clearly, and hurriedly asked the little maid to bring back the red bean soup, and immediately scooped a big spoonful into his mouth and ate it. After just two smacks, his face became strange, and he glared at Fanlu, and exclaimed: "Why is it so sweet that I can't even taste it! The old lady eats this? And she says it's good? Who are you coaxing her!--As far as other people don't say, the second sister and the fourth sister both love sweetness the most, and they can praise it, so I don't believe it." As he spoke, he turned to Zhang Hui, originally wanting some verbal support, but when he turned around, he saw Zhang Hui nodding his head and smiling slightly, Huang Xiang was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly patted his head and said, "Oh, I'm stupid!" -- With Uncle and Mrs. Lin here, the kitchen naturally has to be made according to the taste of my great-grandmother's house. At the beginning, my cousin was not used to eating tea and food at home, but it took two or three years to slowly settle down, but I forgot about this stubble. Then he complained and replied: "You just like to watch me in a daze, and you don't remind me." ”

Zhang Hui smiled: "You can save it yourself, why should I bother with it." So let Fanlu move the red bean soup and eat it herself. Here, the yellow elephant put another lotus leaf porridge, with the two kinds of mixed vegetables, sighed and snorted for a while, and then picked down two bowls, and called Fanlu to serve again. Zhang Hui hurriedly persuaded: "Although the bowl is small, in the end, it is a hungry thing, and if you eat it again, you will have to shout and feel uncomfortable if you hold it." Only then did the yellow elephant stop. Zhang Hui asked Fanlu to bring him food and drink and black plum soup, and he asked for a mung bean soup to accompany him.

While eating, there was a loud report outside that Huang Xing had returned to the house before entering the house, so he first invited Zhang Wang to sit in the flower hall outside the study of the East Courtyard, and when he met the old lady, he went over to talk. Huang Xiang and Zhang replied, the two of them glanced at each other, put aside their cups together, and hurried to the courtyard - not for the side, but only when Huang Xing came to Mrs. Zhang, he would definitely complain about it; if the footsteps here were a little late, and he just took this excuse and taught him a casual lesson, he would not be punished or beaten for anything else, and he would be able to peel off several layers of skin. So the two cousins couldn't help but mumble along the way, saying something to cover up and take care of each other. It's just that as soon as I entered the door, I raised my eyes and saw Huang Xing and Zhang Wang sitting upright with their faces on top of them, their hearts jumped suddenly, and their feet softened together;

Here, Huang Xing and Zhang Wang knew that the two things in front of them were doing the same thing, and the thoughts of fathers were ordinary: first hated the two of them for such nonsense, but when they really got the drawings and paper patterns he made overnight, and saw that their designs were exquisite, rigorous, and could be promoted later, they poured out all those annoyances one by one. Huang Xing especially thought that he didn't love poetry and songs when he was young, and his favorite thing to get was these exemplary instruments and hundreds of workers; and together with Zhang Wang, relying on his grandfather who had never been ashamed of studying strange skills and tricks, and his grandmother was loving and conniving, not to mention any overturning, wheel fans, etc., even rocket crossbows, Shuiguan magnetic kilns, but all the words that have been read in books, a few words have been passed in the mouths of others, and their own hearts are happy and interesting. In one case, just to test the different wood properties and materials, he drew seven or eight tosses in his yard and garden, exposed, showered, soaked, smoked, and roasted, not to mention the disgrace all day long, and almost burned the whole garden to a clean light: he really kicked the sky and made a well, doing everything. Compared with the two, it is really a more stable Sven of the younger generation, and it is much more beneficial than back then. Seeing that the two of them behaved at the moment, just like himself and Zhang Wang, they were all taking matters to their own family, desperately speaking for their brother to excuse themselves - so Huang Xing was funny, and at the same time, he also had a sense of tolerance and helplessness, thinking that Mrs. Zhang's side had already sent a call, but he couldn't pull his face and scold. So he only tightened his face and taught him two words: "A gentleman's behavior is well-behaved." And what year is this year? August and autumn, the next year is the examination, one or two of them are not attentive to their serious homework, day and night, just toss these, there are still some priorities in the belly, there is no priority, no priority? Who will listen to you and use it? It's all a foolish thing with a smart face in vain! Don't do it again in the future! Give me honest reading and writing, study with my heart, and keep my own rules, that's the truth!"

The two listened and said a few yes in succession. Zhang Wang smiled and called the eldest brother to dissipate his anger, and ordered the two of him to serve the tea immediately. Zhang Hui knew that his father had passed this level, so he hurriedly got up, looked for a hot water tea vessel to the side, poured the tea seriously, and gave a cup to the yellow elephant, and the two of them carefully served it together. Huang Xing took the tea and ate it, and then asked him about the results of the two nights, the principle of mechanical operation, and the change design of important components; and Zhang Wang interjected at any time, tracing the modeling, inquiring about the details, and did not let go of even the slightest omission, and asked Huang Xiang and Zhang Hui in shock, but after a while, their mouths were dry, and their throats were also spicy and itchy. Seeing that he couldn't support it, he suddenly heard someone outside report: "Mrs. brought Miss Lin to visit her uncle." Huang Xing and Zhang Wang stopped asking the two of them at this time, and asked Mrs. Wang to bring Lin Daiyu in to meet them. Here, Huang Xiang and Zhang Hui only felt that they were in danger of dying, and they breathed a big sigh together, but they didn't dare to show anything on their faces, and saw that they had no intention of retreating to avoid suspicion, so they hurriedly stood behind their respective fathers, waiting for Mrs. Wang and Daiyu to enter.

So Daiyu followed Mrs. Wang in, and with a flicker of her eyes, she first received two gratitudes, and her sincerity was fierce, and the Zhijiao was shocked in his heart; fortunately, the description was not revealed, and the demeanor was still as good. Huang Xingyin also saw the cousin niece of the Lin family for the first time, and saw that she was clean and easy, and she was really worthy of Lin Ruhai's blood and blood, so he rejoiced for his cousin first. So he spoke kindly, but he only told Daiyu to be a guest at ease, and not to be formal, and asked Mrs. Wang to take proper care of them, and especially to teach her brothers and sisters of the same generation to do a good job in the friendship of the Lord's family, and to live and have fun, not to be careless or rude, but to be friendly and harmonious. Mrs. Wang smiled in response. Daiyu thanked her uncle again, and then said goodbye to Huang Xing, Zhang Wang and her two cousins, and went to the second room with Mrs. Wang and Huang Ping's wife Cui Shi, who was waiting outside.

Huang Xing squinted at the yellow elephant again, but saw that his face was empty, his eyes were scattered, and his mind did not know where to slip away; the two feet standing on the ground seemed to be bitten by insects below, and they fell back and forth left and right. Huang Xing coughed. The yellow elephant froze suddenly, then lowered his head and put his head on his head, and he didn't say anything. Huang Xing couldn't help but be angry and amused, and shouted: "There is no standing appearance at the station! The pestle is here, do you want me to be even more angry when I see it? Don't let me get out, honestly copy thirty scriptures, and then speak!" Huang Xiang jumped out. Zhang Wang here also glared at Zhang Hui and said, "You are also thirty articles." Zhang Hui hurriedly agreed, slowly exited the door, and stuck out his tongue to the yellow elephant stall waiting outside, and the two brothers went to the non-working workshop again.

said that Huang Xing heard that the two brothers outside had gone far away, so he looked at Zhang Wang and laughed together. After a while, Fang stopped laughing and shook his head, and said: "As the saying goes, 'Raising a child knows the kindness of his parents', and now I know what happened when my grandfather and grandmother looked at us." He looked at Zhang Wang again and said with a smile: "People say that your family is safe, and there are no transgressions or irregularities, where can you know that you are also unstable, out of tune, and with a collapsed skin? It's all father-to-son, and the vine doesn't produce lentil loofahs. ”

Zhang Wang smiled and nodded, and said, "In the end, it's the eldest brother, what he said is good." Father and son inheritance, brothers in the same lineage, there are so many similar similarities, so that people can't help but recall how many stories and images in their memories. And there is another sentence, called 'green out of blue' - I want to play nonsense at the beginning, it was the elder brother with the disciples, and this generation is better than the generation, these things have become disciples with the elder brother, it can be seen that there is also Jinyiha. Huang Xing pointed his finger at him, and shook for three or four breaths, but unfortunately he had nothing to refute after all, so he couldn't help but look at it and laugh.

Huang Xing sighed: "You guy, obviously the most unwilling to forgive people in your mouth, no matter your words and actions, you are not willing to eat a star loss, how come from childhood to adulthood, everyone thinks that you are honest and generous, and you don't have half a temper? Now, it's a real bargain. I don't want to think about it, I shouldn't let you. He asked, "Can you make a date with Ruhai?"

Zhang Wang said: "How can you be so anxious? And I didn't tell the two children, I was afraid that I would be divided. ”

Huang Xing said with a smile: "In this case, is there still a chance for me to talk back? But seeing that Zhang Wang's expression did not move, he just took the teapot and slowly filled the tea bowl, knowing that such jokes were really useless to him, so he didn't say more, and turned to talk about the news in the capital: "The matter of Ruhai's resignation is already known to the court." There is also a lot of talking. It's just that two resignations in succession went up, and the tone gradually changed. Yesterday, I received a letter from Kyori that came with the residence, and I was already asked who I wanted to replace. I think you must have an idea about this, who is the sea biased? Sue me first, and save yourself from fighting without being on guard. ”

Zhang Wangdao: "This is an official matter of the imperial court, who does the eldest brother want to recommend, his own proposition is, ask others what to do? And Ruhai is sincerely resigned, put aside those troublesome things, prolong his life, and enjoy his family; no matter who is connected to him, how he is connected, it has nothing to do with him." ”

Huang Xing shook his head when he heard this, and said: "With this sentence 'irrelevant', you know that this can only be your idea - he is a person, and he can discharge the words 'do his best' after burning the ashes, and these can't be thrown away." Zhang Wang couldn't help laughing. Huang Xing thought about it again and said, "He, a salt official, has been a salt official for three consecutive terms, and it's time to make a move." With the saints, this one is a must. But if he wants to unload all his errands, go home and enjoy his family in peace, and so on, he should not even think about such a good thing -- the court is in turmoil, and he is a courtier who has both talent and virtue and is still in the prime of life, where is there any reason to be lazy? It is indispensable to go back and forth on the cusp of the storm. ”

Zhang Wang smiled: "I don't necessarily see how big the storm is." There are two saints in charge, and no one can make monstrous waves. Otherwise, even if the beard of the old man in the family is half white, I will not let the boys end up this year. ”

Huang Xing was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, everyone has their own worries, although you don't become an official, you have to worry about these things at home." It's just that in my opinion, in fact, it really has nothing to do with it -- at their age, if they don't win, it's also a rare experience; if they win, they will naturally start from scratch according to the rules of the imperial court. What's more, there are always a few of us old bones here, as long as they have a good idea, who has the ability to lead them around?"

Zhang Wangdao: "With the words of the eldest brother, I am relieved." Sit down, and I'll thank you only on behalf of your nephews. He stood up and saluted solemnly. Huang Xing didn't shirk it, so he sat down and bowed to him, saying: "Now I'm sitting, you salute, and when I go back to the kid to receive the salute in the future, the two times will be even." The two brothers laughed out loud again.

After a few more gossip, it was getting late. Over there, Mrs. Zhang's house passed the dinner. Mrs. Wang also sent people to ask where the dinner was, but to prepare wine and food, and to play and sing. Huang Xing smiled at Zhang Wang and said, "That's it, as soon as you come, even I will be treated as a child." How can there be a reason to eat and drink every day and play at night?" instructed him not to be around, but to prepare a chessboard, an incense burner, and a pot of tea in the pavilion in the backyard, and wait for him to talk with his own hands. As for Huang Ping and Huang Nian later, they brought a group of nephews to watch chess, and a few people set up paper, pen, paper and ink and other lottery gambling games to win or lose, and so on, and all kinds of trivial things, and they don't need to remember much.
