In the blink of an eye, it is the fourth day of the first month of November, and Gu Tangzhang's family is full of colors, just waiting for the winter solstice festival the next day. Hong checked all the things used again, and sent Bai Wei to Lin Daiyu behind Chenghui Hall to tell him: "Be sure to go to bed early tonight and save your spirit." Tomorrow morning, Chou is about to get up. Daiyu hurriedly said that she knew, and ate tea in the blank space. Bai Wei thanked the tea and sat down for a while before leaving.

This way, Zhang Shumei walked in again. Daiyu hurriedly got up and took it. This Shu Mei brought a boxy three-layer carved lacquer basket, took it for Qing He and put it on the table, and said with a smile: "The fresh cake dumplings of Fuxing Zhai brought by the eleventh brother." I'll come and eat with my sister. ”

Here, the lotus canopy hurriedly came over and lifted the lid of the basket, and moved out three kinds of dim sum layer by layer, which are rich peonies, fish all year round, and four persimmon Ruyi, all of which are lifelike shapes made of crystal cake balls. Each snack is served on a sweet white porcelain plate with a field grid, and each compartment contains only one the size of a baby's fist. Zhang Shumei smiled: "This with Pu'er tea has the best flavor." Zijuan hurriedly poured tea, and laid silver chopsticks and silver forks. As soon as it was all right, the maids retreated to the outhouse, leaving her sister to speak freely.

Here Shu Mei only smiled and told the intention, "The day before yesterday, I saw the good persimmons sent to the old lady, although they are not big, they are full, red and moist, like oil, as if they were oiled, and I am hungry for something." I am not blessed, my spleen and stomach are weak, I dare not eat it raw, and I am impatient to eat persimmons. I don't want to send this to the eleventh brother today, saying that it is a newly created recipe for Fuxing Zhai, boiling the juice with persimmon juice and brown sugar, and then putting it into the cake dough to make it, regardless of color and taste, it is no different from real persimmon. I think my sister didn't eat it that day, so I brought it over and just tasted it together. ”

On the one hand, on the other hand, look at Daiyu's situation. But although he was smiling all the way, his face was actually lazy, and he didn't look like he was usually happy. Shu Mei smiled: "I dare to say that I guessed wrong, my sister didn't eat persimmons? ”

Dai Yuyuan was a little distracted, and when she heard this, she hurriedly smiled and said, "Where did my sister say? I love it originally, not to mention that my sister specially brought it, and she couldn't be more willing to eat it." ”

Shu Mei smiled: "Your face is faint, but it's not willing." What's the matter? Or has someone touched you and upset you? Just call me 'sister' and just tell me. Tomorrow's winter solstice, under the big festival, you can't hide your thoughts. ”

Lin Daiyu sighed and lowered her eyebrows to look at a small case under the window. Shu Mei saw that there were overlapping layers, and there were always seven or eight brocade boxes stacked there. Daiyu said: "In the second half of today, there will be three aunts, six aunts, seven aunts, two sisters, four sisters, and six sisters coming here. They are all kinds of dim sum snacks, or to boil the hunger, or cheap to carry in the sleeve, purse, can be taken at any time. ”

When Zhang Shumei heard this, what else didn't he understand? Naturally, everyone knew the rules of the winter festival at home, and the porridge used was different from other families, Lin Daiyu was a guest, and it was the first time, so she must tell the inside and outside joints one by one, and she had all kinds of tricks and secrets that could be used on the spot. This is the kindness and selfishness of each person, and what he says cannot be made public, it must be that each family acts separately and staggers from each other. Since then, Lin Daiyu has few words of hospitality, and even accompanies her with some tea and snacks. After such a round, five or six groups of people came over, and even a big-bellied Arhat was also full, not to mention that she was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl's house?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud, hugged Daiyu and said, "It can be seen that you are a painful person, everyone thinks of one place." It's just that it's embarrassing for you, and you can't be rude, it's not easy to refuse, and no one pushes it, and you don't get away, you sit with you for a long time, and you also put in a lot of good water and tea. ”

Daiyu also laughed, leaned on her, and sighed: "It's all a sincere love and thoughtfulness, how can I not be grateful for the appreciation?"

Shu Mei stroked her hair, shook her head and smiled: "My sister is too sincere." Sitting and talking with someone, the thing touched his lips, and the meaning is, who can force you to eat it all? If you really want to break it, it's not you who is sad yourself? You have to bring the old lady and grandmother to worry about. Isn't it because of a small loss, and the gains outweigh the losses?"

Daiyu nodded and said, "Sister taught me a lesson." Not again. ”

Shu Mei smiled and nodded, Ladaiyu sat down, and raised her voice to call the maid again. There was a maid who was waiting for him, Jin Hui, Zijuan, and Lotus Peng hurriedly came in. Three approached, Shu Mei ordered: "Go to my room to get food and drink, boil the hot water, and then add a snack box, there must be nine plums, salt kumquat and olives." ”

Daiyu was busy and said that there was no need to be busy. Shu Mei smiled: "It's still early in the day." My sister eats a little more, walks a few steps into the house, and sleeps at night. "Urge Jin Hui to go as soon as possible.

Here Daiyu sighed: "It's still my sister who hurts people." He will be blessed in the future. ”

When Shu Mei heard this, he couldn't help blushing, stretched out his hand to twist it on Daiyu's face, and scolded: "You can speak, but you don't dare to open your mouth when you should speak." Seeing that Daiyu was only looking at herself and grinning, she started to hate, put her hand to her mouth and took two mouthfuls, and scratched Daiyu's armpits.

Daiyu has always been the most afraid of itching, and before her hand reached out, she smiled and begged for mercy, saying, "I don't dare!"

The two sisters quarreled for a while, and then they sat down together and arranged each other's hair and clothes. Shu Mei smiled at this time: "It's finally normal again." You don't know that the sorrow on your face just now makes people's hearts tug up. ”

When Daiyu heard this, she was stunned, but she never thought that her mind would be exposed to this point. Chasing the situation in front of the pioneer, most of them were not able to cover up in front of them, and they didn't know what they revealed, and they were annoyed for a while, and their faces were full of shame.

Seeing this, Shu Mei knew that he was thinking too much again, so he hurriedly smiled and said: "But I talk a lot, so I just say that I am worried, and one sentence will make you think a lot." As he spoke, he took the tea and handed it to Daiyu, and watched her take a bite, so he persuaded him to say: "My sister is still young, she should be carefree and worry-free." If you have any thoughts, you must say them, and if one person does not have an idea, two more people will have an idea. Even if you don't have any ideas, speaking to relieve them is also first-class useful. If it is inconvenient for the elders to talk about it, you might as well say it to the sisters of the younger generation, and take a step back, even if it is a girl, it is ten times better than the one who is stuffy in her heart and only worries about her own person. My sister said but?"

Daiyu listened to it, nodded at the same time, and sighed: "What my sister said, how is it not this truth. It's just that I've been thinking since I was a child, and I can't control myself when I go around like this and that in my heart. For example, today, everyone treats me with sincerity and kindness, and although I am grateful for it, I have a lot of grievances. How is it that in the eyes of my aunts and sisters, I am a person who can't eat the winter solstice porridge at home? Am I not a vein from Gu Tang? Am I not aware of Wen Zhaogong's intentions, and I shouldn't follow the legacy of the sages and practice it?"

Shu Mei sighed: "Although my sister thinks a lot, but listening to these two sentences, it is not a lot of heart, and it is the most serious truth." The aunts and sisters were certainly kind and friendly, but when you think about it, it is not appropriate in the end. You are a smart person, and you read and know etiquette, and you will be embarrassed when you see the importance of importance. If you change to someone else, you will never think of this layer again. ”

Daiyu listened to her comfort, thought about it, was touched, and sighed: "The care and love of my relatives makes me happy; because I am sick and delicate, people worry from time to time, and I want to be pitiful; everyone agrees, I don't know how to deal with it, and I pour a belly of dim sum and tea, which is actually ridiculous; obviously they are all kind to me, but they have caused me to complain, and I feel ashamed." Isn't it sad that I have so many hearts and do not see the outcome, and I do not help things to succeed. ”

Shu Mei said: "My sister said this, I can't agree with you again." I just said that my aunt and sisters were not right, but I was only thinking about one thing less for them. If you think about it, you don't have to do it this way. ”

Daiyu asked what was the matter. Shu Mei said: "They all treat their sister as guests and relatives, but they don't think about it, not this time, at most two or three years, my sister will also eat this porridge." After speaking, he just looked at her and smiled.

When Daiyu heard this, she immediately blushed, leaned on her, slapped her powder fist a few times behind her back, and said hatefully: "I thought you were my own sister, so I told you my troubles, but you made fun of me!"

Shu Mei smiled: "It's a joke, but it's also a real truth." The words 'internal and external intimacy' have always been the most abrasive, just look at which end you stand to speak. According to me, my sister didn't have to think about it, she just received everyone's affection in her heart, what should she do tomorrow, and she followed the rules and principles that should be followed, so she was at ease, and no one could pick out what was not-what did my sister say?

Daiyu nodded and said, "What my sister said is reasonable. Just according to my sister's words. ”

At one time, Jin Hui, Lotus Peng, Zijuan and others came in with soup and snacks. The two sisters laughed and ate some, and Shu Meifang got up. Later, the lights were moved and the curtains were lowered, and the maids served Daiyu to rest. Daiyu felt comfortable on the pillow, but felt gentle and peaceful, full of comfort, and fell asleep peacefully after a while. Nothing to say for now.

The next day, Daiyu and the others got up and went to Chenghui Hall Wu Taijun first. I saw that since the Li family, all the relatives in each room have arrived, and the ladies are waiting in the warm pavilion. After sitting for a moment, Fang is Hong waited for Wu Taijun to come out with makeup. Everyone then lined up in two shifts, followed behind Wu Taijun, and walked step by step from Chenghui Hall to the Zhang ancestral hall without a sedan car.

It turns out that this chapter of the family ancestral hall is in the middle of the two mansions, a separate courtyard, five foyers in the black oil fence, connecting the white stone Yong, the platform, the hugging building, and the main hall. The main hall is also five, the incense and candles are brilliant, the brocade tent is embroidered, the three-layer god in the middle, the remains of the ancestors of more than ten axes on both sides, or the crown of the Bo belt, or the python wears the jade waist. The men of the Zhang clan were divided into Zhaomu and set up shifts. Zhang Pei is the main priest, Zhang Pi, Zhang Zhan accompanies the sacrifice, Zhang Wang offers the knight, Zhang Kui offers silk, Zhang Zhen holds incense, Zhang Bi, Zhang Dou Zhan worships the carpet, and guards the burning pool. Music, three dedications, worship the ceremony, burn silk and drink wine. After the ceremony, the joy stops, and the exit. Then Wu Taijun led the female dependents to the main hall, bowed down with incense, also three bows, and then withdrew, and came to the platform together.

Lin Daiyu looked carefully here, and saw that at this moment, in the ancestral hall, with Baishi Yonglu as the boundary, there is a firewood pile and suspension in the east, and a three-foot cauldron and a two-foot square brass brazier are placed next to it. At the front of the west head is a large pot-bellied narrow-mouthed blue and black glazed clay pot more than half a person high, and then there is a three-legged bronze tripod, and the charcoal fire under the tripod is flourishing. There are two rows of six wenge four-legged brackets below, and a brass basin is placed on each shelf, which is very shallow and shaped like a deep saucer. Next to the shelves there is a pot-bellied open clay jar, which is filled with fresh snow that has fallen only two days ago. Finally, there are three deep barrels nearly two feet high, and the inner wall of the deep barrels is also woven with a layer of bamboo leck. Lin Daiyu guessed that it was the stuff used to help porridge on the winter solstice, but she couldn't know what it was, so she followed closely behind Zhang Shumei and watched carefully.

Listening to Zhang Pei sing "Beginning", Wu Taijun led all the women to stand by the copper tripod. Hong, Yin, and Zhang jointly carried a black rattan box, took out a coarse cloth smock from the box, and handed it to Wu Taijun and others to wear on top of the dress. When everyone put on the smock properly, they saw Zhang You and Zhang Hui entering from the Yi Gate, each holding a lacquer box in their hands, which contained fresh snow collected from the garden. Walked to the front, and the second was dedicated to Hong. Hong Shi Feng and Wu Taijun. Wu Taijun took it and poured the snow in the box into Dading.

The snow turned into water and boiled in the blink of an eye. Here, the Li, Chen, and Yun families are in a column, and the Zhou, Yin, and Zhang families are in a column, holding the basin in both hands in front of Wu Taijun. Fan Shuwen held a long-handled copper spoon and handed it to Hong. Hong handed over to Wu Taijun. Wu Taijun scooped water from the tripod with a copper spoon and poured it into the basin held by Li and others. The six people then returned, still placing the basin on the support, and then copied the snow from the clay jar next to it into the basin, and waited for the snow in the basin to stop.

Wu Taijun saw that the water was ready, so he moved to the side of the potbelly clay pot. Hong stepped forward and lifted the lid of the black-glazed jar, and Fan Shuwen offered the clamps. The clamps are also made of bronze, with a slender handle and a head made in the shape of a duck's beak. Wu Taijun took the clamp and went to the jar to fish it gently. Next to him, Hong had already held a copper basin, and the basin was covered with a layer of bamboo drainage. Wu Taijun put the picked things into the basin. The Hung family then passed on the copper basin to the Li family.

Li took the drained water, put it in a shallow basin, and gently spread it with a bamboo clip, swinging away the black and sticky stickiness, revealing the original shape of the vegetable leaves, and then the drained water was passed on to Chen. Chen took the drain water, and like Li, washed it in the basin in front of him, and then handed it to Yun. Yun Shi also cleaned and swung it in the same way, clamped it with a bamboo clip, scooped it up and drained it, and put it in a deep bucket.

Here, Wu Taijun fished another clip, and there were still Hong's copper basins connected and passed on to Zhou's; Zhou's, Yin's, and Zhang's concubines were also like Li's, and they were washed three times, scooped up and drained, and put into another deep bucket -- so after three people, it was for one trip. After five trips, the snow water in the copper basin in front of Li and Zhou was polluted, and it was replaced with new water and new snow. After six trips, Chen and Yin changed the water. After seven trips, Yun and Zhang changed the water.

After the water in the basin of the Li family and the Zhou family was exchanged three times, everyone went to Wu Taijun and knelt down together to ask for a stop. Because he moved a Taishi chair out, he let Wu Taijun sit. With Hong's clamps, Zhang Shumei and Zhang Shuyi walked out of the boudoir show, each holding a copper basin, and handed the rice taken out of the clay pot to Li and Zhou. After about half an hour, the rice in the can was roughly cleaned. Zhou and the others worked together to carry three deep buckets filled with washed food to Wu Taijun, and said together, "Please check." Wu Taijun glanced at it, nodded, and led everyone to carry the deep bucket to the west side of Yonglu.

Zhang Pei then sang: "Rise." Then the men stepped forward, lifted the cauldron, and hung it over the pyre. Then Zhang Wang, Zhang Yao, Zhang Kui, Zhang Zhen, Zhang Bi, and Zhang Dou went to Wu Taijun to salute, took the deep bucket, and poured all the contents of the bucket into the pot before carrying it to the cauldron. Zhang Xian, Zhang Chai, Zhang Yan, Zhang Qu, and Zhang Ling each took a basin of hot water from the previous copper tripod and poured it into the pot.

Zhang You walked up to Wu Taijun and saluted: "Old lady, please give the stove fire." Wu Taijun turned to the gate of the ancestral hall. At this moment, the Zhangfu family and the little maids are all standing outside the black oil fence. Wu Taijun raised his hand over his head, but bowed to everyone for a long time, and said: "Fight with one heart, and the fire will be raised." Everyone outside the door responded in unison: "Share the joys and sorrows, and my heart will fall." So there were Zhuang heads and stewards who came in turn, threw the half-cooked charcoal wrapped in mulberry paper into the brass brazier, and sang: "A village in the east of the outer city has a certain surname and a certain direction of the first stove", "a certain street and a certain lane in the west of the inner city have a certain name and a certain direction of the shop", "a certain household in a certain lane and a certain surname stove".

In a moment, the brazier was full of charcoal. Zhang Hui asked for a pillar of incense and candles in front of the main hall of the ancestral hall, held them above his head with both hands, and presented them to Wu Taijun. Zhang You also presented half a knife of yellow paper. Wu Taijun took the incense candle and the yellow paper and threw them into the brazier together, and the fire in the basin was suddenly blazing. Only then did Li, Hong, and Fan Shuwen each come up with a thin torch, light it on the brazier, and then go to the cauldron and light the firewood pile under the pot. Hong took another long-handled spoon and stirred it in the cauldron a few times: at this time, Fang really began to boil the porridge.

For a while, the water boiled and the porridge was cooked. Zhang Wang, Zhang You, Zhang Xian and others carried two black rattan baskets, and hundreds of black-glazed pottery bowls were neatly stacked inside, and they were placed next to the cauldron. Zhang Pei, Zhang Li, Zhang Zhan and Wu Taijun stepped forward. Zhang Zhan picked up the bowl and handed it to Zhang Li; Zhang Li held the bowl and turned to Wu Taijun; Wu Taijun scooped the porridge and ate it, only holding a shallow bowl at the bottom of the bowl; at the end, Zhang Pei took the bowl of porridge and handed it to everyone. After a while, all the men, women, and children of the clan were given a bowl, and only then did the old steward come in and remove the firewood, suspension, pots and pans, and other things.

The Zhang family held the porridge bowl, left and right, men and women, and each stood still. Zhang Pei, Zhang Li, and Zhang Zhan are the next generation, Zhang Wang is the leader, and the next generation is headed by Zhang You. Lin Ruhai and Zhang Wang were in the same column, standing at the bottom. Among the female dependents, Wu Taijun is the next generation, headed by the Li family, the next generation, the Hong family is the leader, and the next generation, Fan Shuwen is the head. The ladies who have not come out of the cabinet are headed by Zhang Shumei. Lin Daiyu and Zhang Shumei are in the same column, and they are also at the end. It was scheduled for a while, and the courtyard was solemn, and the birds were silent.

Zhang Pei came out of the crowd, and as for the steps of the main hall, he sang: "The winter festival is beginning, chasing distant and respecting relatives." Thinker. Hold the porridge bowl with both hands, high and forehead, Wu Taijun and others behind, hold the bowl over the top, and bow to the main hall of the ancestral hall three times. After worshipping, Zhang Peinai turned around and admonished everyone: "The saint Yun sacrifices his life to take righteousness, and he will not waver in his deeds, and future generations should not forget their original intentions." The next chapter replied: "The gentleman knows that there is a long way to go, and if you are consistent, we will forge ahead." After answering the question, Fang Yiqi ate the porridge in the bowl in one bite, and then held the empty bowl high and bowed to the ancestral hall three more times.

After the ceremony. Everyone followed Wu Taijun out of the ancestral hall and walked all the way to the main gate. Seeing that the steward and his family had already reset the suspension of two pyres in front of the wall, there were two large cauldrons on the suspension, the flames under the pot were blazing, the porridge and soup in the pot were boiling, and the corn and beans and wheat were tumbling up and down. Four or five zhang away, there are neighbors, gentry and ordinary people, two or three hundred people holding pots and pans and waiting for each other. Wu Taijun asked, "Where is the porridge?" and Hong came with a big bowl, and in the bowl was the porridge that had just been boiled. Wu Taijun personally divided the porridge into two large pots, stirred it three times with a long-handled spoon, and then told Zhang Pei: "Divide it with your neighbors on my behalf." There was a thunderous roar of joy. Wu Taijun greeted the neighbors and the people, and everyone returned the salute, and then the Li family, the Hong family and others returned to Chenghui Hall.

Here, Zhang Pei and others led a group of children to scatter porridge, and sent people to Maojiatang to pay tribute to the ancestors, and made people to make offerings to various temples and Buddhist halls. At noon, after all the things were done, Fang returned home, opened the big flower hall of Dongfu, and invited the housekeepers, the head of the village, the court, and the account room to have a banquet, thank you for the hard work of the year, and distribute all kinds of rewards and rewards. Zhang Pei and other male principals were all seated, and they still only used a bowl of porridge boiled in the morning, accompanied by only a glass of rice wine. Everyone knows the rules of the Zhang family, congratulates and thanks, receives the banquet, and does not mention it when they go to their respective homes.

On the side of the family, after everyone returned with Wu Taijun, they did not joke about their words and deeds, but only went to their respective rooms to sit idly, or read some calligraphy and paintings, or do some needlework, always to calm down. Only the Hong family is in charge of Gu Tang's housework, although all the things used have been prepared, when the matter comes, there is always this and that to ask; and then after the sunset, the party has no choice but to go to the kitchen to read the recipes and read the meals, and then go to the big flower hall of the Xifu family banquet to inspect the furnishings of the tables, chairs, barriers, and stage, and examine the people who serve the dishes - so they are not allowed to be idle. Fan Shuwen was on the side, seeing people coming and going, busy with cars, her heart was really uneasy, every time she wanted to get up, she was held down by Hong, and only said: "My son, what should you do with yourself? That set in the morning is a family rule, and no one can be wrong." Now you can't rest anymore, it's making my heart flutter. "I simply asked the maid to escort her and send it to Zhang Shumei and Lin Daiyu. He also specially called two old mothers to serve on the steps down the porch, and instructed: "If she has a little discomfort, she doesn't have to come to tell me first, what to do, just do it." ”

At the end of the Shen hour, the sun was gone, and the night was bridged. The family had a feast in the big flower hall and listened to the exquisite small drama on the stage. Because on this day, only porridge is used for food, and it is rare to see steamed and boiled soft and rotten things at the Hehuan banquet, which is mainly fried and fried, thick and fragrant, and the staple food of rice and noodles is also more dried. During the banquet, everyone went to Wu Taijun to congratulate and salute, Wu Taijun accepted the salute, smiled and let him return to the table to play freely, and sent people to the flower hall and the corridor several times to advise: "A meal and wine, the appropriate amount is appropriate, do not overeat, damage the stomach." "As for the various things at the banquet, but everyone eats wine and watches plays, and they don't remember much.

said that the next day, Lin Daiyu got up in the morning, finished dressing up and decorating, and went to Wu Taijun to say goodbye as usual. Seeing that Wu Taijun was tired on the day of the winter solstice, he was still tired and lazy all night, but he sat down for a while and came back. When he sat down in the house, Zijuan poured tea, and heard the legend of the little maid outside: "The little seventh master is here." Before he finished speaking, Zhang Hui walked in with a stack of books in one hand and a boss food box in the other. Lin Daiyu smiled unconsciously: "Where does my brother come from, and where will he go?" Seeing that he was so busy, he also brought a meal. ”

Zhang Hui said with a smile: "It was the old lady who blasted out, said that she was tired and impatient to listen to the account, and took a few things to eat and sent them out, so that she could find a place to eat anywhere." Because of the recent here, I told my sister that she had gotten up, so I cheekily came to borrow a place for my sister to stop. ”

Daiyu laughed when she heard this, and then asked the maid to hurry up and clean up the table outside, and arrange a few things in the food box on the table. When I saw one of the bowls of mixed rice and vegetable porridge, I couldn't help asking, "Brother still eats this today?"

Zhang Hui nodded, saw Daiyu's expression, and said with a smile: "It's not the porridge that was eaten at the family sacrifice yesterday, it's the porridge that was scattered." There are sweet potatoes, sweet melons and the like. Because it was the first time I used it in the porridge, I didn't know the taste, so I asked me to leave this little bit for me to taste. ”

Lin Daiyu suddenly realized: As the name suggests, Ji porridge was originally meant to be distributed to the people, and it could not be easily kept at home. Thinking of the scene of everyone hugging and scrambling yesterday, I also know that this porridge will not have a surplus because of the large amount. Although Zhang Hui had the intention to investigate the difference between the good and bad porridge of the newly planted crops, he had to arrange it in advance, and covered it up by Wu Taijun in order to taste the taste. Just smiled: "It's too hard." Wouldn't it be cheaper to let the kitchen boil another pot out?"

Zhang Hui smiled: "My sister doesn't know. Porridge that is boiled for one hour is completely different from that that boiled for five or six hours. It is cheap to boil a pot in a large kitchen, but the portion is less, and it is not as thick and sweet as a large pot. ”

At one point, Zhang Hui finished the meal. The maids put away the dishes and food boxes. This chapter asked Daiyu back: "I was busy yesterday, I didn't have time, and I didn't ask my sister if it was okay." And then there's the pills my sister ate, which should have been eaten with a meal. Yesterday morning, at noon, there was only two family sacrifice porridge, and in the evening, it was greasy and fishy, what does my sister feel about this day and night?"

Daiyu said: "Thank you for bothering to think about it." I don't think there's any difference. ”

Zhang Hui said: "I heard from my eldest sister that the day before yesterday, several families sent snacks to my sister to help her hunger, which caused a lot of discussion, which is really wonderful. ”

Daiyu's face flushed a little, and said, "It's just some small thoughts." Because I am so small-minded, if I don't pay attention, I will become bitter and angry. I was so happy when I said it, but now that I think about it, it's so confusing and ridiculous, it really makes me feel ashamed. ”

Zhang Hui hurriedly shook his head and said, "Sister, don't say that." My sister and I thought the same thing. Wen Zhaogong is in the lineage, which one can deal with such a serious matter perfunctorily, and even deceive? This is not only against the will of the ancestors, but also lost the original heart - my sister can think of this layer, I am really very happy when I hear the eldest sister say. ”

Daiyu didn't want him to say this, so she raised her eyes and looked at Zhang Hui's face. But seeing joy and joy, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows are full of sincerity. Daiyu's heart couldn't help but feel warm and joyful. He hung his head and said, "However, it is true that the elders care and love. Thinking of this, I wondered if it would be smooth or not. ”

Zhang replied: "My sister is delicate and exquisite, if she doesn't have a lot of entanglements, it would be unreasonable." But as the eldest sister said, if you really have something in your heart, you can't be depressed, you must find someone to talk about it, so as not to suffer yourself. In addition, I also have a recipe for my sister, which can be used when it is difficult to solve a thousand times and entanglements, and it can also relieve a little bit. ”

Daiyu asked, "What is the recipe?" Can it be fulfilled?" While calling Zijuan and Qinghe to take a pen and paper, he said, "Brother, wait for me to record it." ”

Zhang Hui smiled: "My sister is not panicking. Fang Zi is actually only four words, and it is rare to be confused. Seeing that Daiyu tilted her head, her face was puzzled, so she continued with a smile: "It's hard to be smart, it's hard to be confused, and it's even more difficult to turn from smart to confused; ”

Before he finished speaking, he heard someone behind him hate and say: "It's a 'rare to be confused', it's just that some people look smart, and they think they are smart, but in fact, they are the most confused, so there is no need to be embarrassed at all." "It's Lin Ruhai. Frightened, Zhang Hui jumped back and took three steps, and Daiyu also hung her head and walked to the side. Lin Ruhai glared at Zhang Hui first, and shouted: "The trial is imminent, and it is the time to fight hard." What do you want to 'put it aside and take a step back', and you dare to feel at ease when you say this! Why don't you go back to my study and make ten articles on the topics of the past years!"

Zhang Hui didn't dare to say a word, the soles of his feet were windy, and he slipped away. Here, Daiyu stepped forward, took Lin Ruhai's hand, and said with a smile: "Daddy, why are you scaring your cousin again? ”

Lin Ruhai stared and puffed out his cheeks, but he was pulled and shaken by Daiyu, and couldn't help but ease up, and scolded with a smile: "Your cousin is a little lesson." is a good young man with a proper demeanor, and he likes to pay attention to these things that are quiet and inactive. As soon as he heard these words, he heard and wrote them down by such a frustrated person who was old and decrepit and had no ambition in his life. Fortunately, it is useless to go elsewhere, just to use it as far-fetched, enlightening and comforting you, but it is not completely confused. ”

When Daiyu heard this, she put her mind at ease and said with a smile: "In this way, my daughter remembers these four words, and if it really comes to the boring moment, she picks it up and reads it, and when she thinks of today's situation, she laughs out loud." Lin Ruhai laughed out loud.

The father and daughter talked for a while, and Wu Taijun sent someone to invite. The two of them went to the other side. Without going into details.
