Chapter 148: Committing Tai Sui
Chen Aju rolled her eyes and said, "Standing and talking doesn't hurt your back." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoIf you don't hook up with Tangyuan, no matter how diligent you are, you can only live in a grass house and sleep on a soil kang. ā
Chen Afu sneered, "I can hook up with Tangyuan, it is also because I am diligent, skillful, and good at using my brains......"
As he was talking, he heard Mrs. Chen shouting loudly in the courtyard, "Ah Ju, Ah Ju, where did you die again?" ā
Chen Aju was so angry that she muttered in a low voice, "There are so many people in the hall who don't work, you know that you will stare at me." ā
Chen Afu said, "Milk is for your good." Sometimes, it's more tiring to let people do the work than to do it yourself. After saying that, he didn't pay attention to her anymore, and went to the Westinghouse with his feet up.
I don't know if Chen Aju listened to it, so she walked out with a calm face.
After that, Hu Lao Wu's family, who smelled the smell of rice, came again, and he would not let go of any opportunity to be the shopkeeper of Ba Luo. Not long after, Wu Carpenter also brought Wu Changgen, Changgen's daughter-in-law and Xiao Shi to come.
For these two people who took the initiative to congratulate, Chen Ming welcomed him and hurriedly invited him to sit in the room.
As soon as the little stone came, it was pulled by Da Bao to the West Chamber.
Changgen's daughter-in-law was diligent, and as soon as she came, she went into the kitchen to liberate Chen Aju. Chen Aju pulled Hu Cuicui and told her how good Chen Afu's shelf bed looks, and asked her to see it too.
Hu Cuicui didn't move. In her opinion, this place is only a little bigger than the fourth aunt's house in the county, and the furniture and furnishings are not comparable, how good can that bed be.
She glanced at Chen Aju, who had never seen the world, and whispered proudly, "Sister Aju, when I go to the fourth aunt's house in the county in the future, I will also take you with me, Cousin Hong's boudoir is really exquisite and beautiful." ā
Chen Aju couldn't get used to Hu Cuicui's face that looked down on her, but she couldn't help it. Except for this cousin, she doesn't have a handkerchief to well.
At the time of eating, three tables were placed in the lobby room, two tables for men and one table for women and children. In addition, there is a table in the east wing, that is, Chen Afu and a few people leading a few children.
The wine on the table was good, the dishes were good, and everyone was happy. Only occasionally Hu Shi couldn't help but say something sour that didn't quite like it, not to mention that Chen Ye and Mrs. Chen would glare at her, and even Hu Lao Wu would look at her with a gloomy face. Although Hu Lao Wu is the youngest one in the family, the four sisters above are afraid of him, and the Hu family is no exception. Seeing that her in-laws and her mother's family were unhappy, she could only shut her mouth angrily.
After the meal, Mother Song hugged the sleepy-eyed Chu Hanyan back to Tangyuan to rest, and Luo Mei's sister and brother were also taken back by Wei. At the end of the day, Chen Afu will go to work in Tangyuan. Now the two families are close, and it only takes half an hour to walk. And for convenience, the road between the two houses is not only smooth, but also specially paved with gravel. Of course, this was done by someone from Tangyuan.
After the men in the upper room had eaten and drunk to their heart's content, the guests also returned home one after another. Hu Lao Wu walked at the end, and he whispered to Chen Ming, "Second Brother Chen, have you heard that something happened to the old Wang family in Xianhu Village." ā
Chen Ming was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that the old Wang family should refer to the Wang family's maiden family. "What's wrong?"
Hu Lao Wu said with a smile, "I heard that the family seems to have committed Tai Sui recently, Ding Pozi went out and broke his leg on the ice, Wang Cai was beaten by someone covering his head with a sack one night, Wang Laohan was smashed by a stone falling from the sky, and there will be feces and urine in the yard every three or five times." Moreover, the chickens, ducks and geese at home will lose one every once in a while......"
Chen Ming heard this, and hurriedly bowed his hand to Hu Laowu. said in a low voice, "I see that Brother Hu likes to drink Xiao Yuanchun, and I will give you two more altars another day." ā
Hu Lao Wu hurriedly said, "Don't dare." In the future, Second Brother Chen's family will invite a noble person like Master Luo, and he must remember to call his younger brother. ā
Chen Ming nodded and said yes.
Looking at Hu Lao Wu's back as he gradually moved away, Chen Ming was a little helpless. I used to hate this kind of villain who tends to be inflammatory, and specializes in immoral things, but now in order to punish the worse and less virtuous Ding, I have to ask him......
Chen Ah Fu and Wang cleaned up the kitchen, and when they came out, they saw Chen Ming circling in the courtyard, still inhaling with his nose.
Wang smiled, "Master, what are you doing, why are you like our family's prosperity." ā
Chen Ming smiled, "Juan Niang, Ah Fu, have you smelled it, our house has another burst of fragrance, the same as the fragrance in the old yard." Yesterday I specifically smelled it and it doesn't smell like this. Today, this smell comes out again, and our family is really blessed. ā
Wang sniffed it and said happily, "It's true." ā
Chen Afu also smiled and nodded.
When she was fetching water from the well today, she had already secretly thrown a small wooden block of swallow agarwood with the thickness of her little finger into it.
Several people went to the west house of the upper room, sat on the kang, and sorted out the gifts and etiquette received.
The third grandfather and several other relatives gave them ten coarse porcelain bowls and 20 yuan, or a chicken or duck. Chen Mingjia gave 100 yuan and 10 catties of polished rice, and the old lady also sent four small porcelain bowls. Chen Ming saw that his eldest brother's family was so generous, and he felt very face-saving and very happy.
Hu Lao Wu gave a hundred yuan, and the Wu carpenter's family sent four carved small wooden stools. Shopkeeper Luo gave a pair of large vases of white porcelain and blue and white, which is a heavy gift. The others in Tangyuan gave two silver peanuts of one penny, and Chu Hanyan gave six silver peanuts of two coins. Chen Afu handed over the red envelopes sent by Chu Hanyan and Song's mother to Chen Ming.
Chen Ming said with a smile, "Miss Chu has a heart, and she still knows how to give gifts at a young age." Then he looked at the pair of large vases and said, "It's a pity that we have this big vase at home, so keep it for Ah Fu to take to the Blessing Garden." ā
Chen Afu sneered, "Dad really thinks he is a small landlord." Dad, don't forget, you are still a child, and you still know elegance. The vase was placed in the upper hall and in the study of Alu. I went to the Tang Garden to fold a few plum blossoms and came back to plug them, which was both elegant and tasteful. He added, "There are still some things at home, and when Lord Chu or Abbot Lichen comes back, I will go to the county seat and buy some more, and I just happen to buy some New Year's goods." ā
Chen Ming hurriedly said, "The rest of the things, let your mother take the money." This home, including the land and the furnishings of the house, has already cost you more than sixty taels of silver, and it can't cost you any more. ā
Wang also said, "Yes, your father is right. When the time comes, the two of us will go together, and the mother will pay for it. ā
When it was almost time to go to work, Chen Afu went back to the West Chamber to call Dabao up, and took out a basket with building blocks. A total of three sets of this kind of building blocks were made, one set was kept at home, and one set was sent to Tangyuan and Yang's family.
As soon as she and Dabao, Chasing the Wind, and Qiqi Gray walked outside the gate, they saw Mother Song holding Chu Hanyan in a red cloak, and Wei holding Luo Mei's sister and brother, as well as the two nurses, walked over here.
