The messenger of Jinhuayuan came over, and Gao took Zhuo Yijia and Zhuo Yiyu to Jinhuayuan for a reunion dinner. Zhuo Yijia, the www.biquge.info of the pen %fun %pavilion, carried the red paper-cut of Fuwa hugging carp cut in the afternoon, and followed Gao to Jinhua Courtyard soon.
At this time, Jinhuayuan is also in full swing with couplet banners, and the atmosphere of the New Year is very strong.
Zhuo Yijia arrived, and after a while, all the people in the three rooms of the Zhuo family arrived.
A lively family divided into two tables, the elders sat at one table, the younger generations sat at one table, and two large round tables were set up in the hall of Jinhuayuan.
The elders' table was headed by Zhuo Taiye and Hua Taijun, with Gao sitting next to Hua Taijun and the female dependents sitting down. Sitting next to Master Zhuo is Zhuo Zihua, the second master of the Zhuo family, and next to him is Zhuo Ziying, the third master of Zhuo.
At the table on the child's side, the concubine and the concubine are the heads, and the concubines and daughters sit down. It's just that there are no concubines in the third room of the Zhuo family's big house, and there are only two concubines in the second room, Zhuo Yijia and Zhuo Yiyun, and a concubine Zhuo Yimin.
This is the first time that Zhuo Yijia has seen her grandfather Table Shunwu and her 'father' Zhuo Zihua since she was reborn for so long.
Zhuo Yijia sat at the very end, next to Zhuo Yiyun, lowered his eyes, and did not turn his head to look.
Zhuo Zihua didn't care either, and didn't even sweep the afterglow.
A room of talking, and it is happy. Zhuo Yijia sat quietly at the table, listening to others. And don't interject.
Zhuo Yiyu, who was sitting in front, saw this, moved his bench to Zhuo Yijia, and settled next to Zhuo Yijia. It's also rare that there is no talking.
This is Mama Cao walking next to Hua Taijun and handing over a stack of red envelopes.
Hua Taijun took the red envelope, coughed with a smile, and the table where a table of grandchildren sat here quieted down, staring at the old lady and Mrs. Zhuo with straight eyes.
Mrs. Zhuo also smiled, and there was a small wooden table next to the steward standing on the side, and the table was full of small gifts tied with red strings.
"Grandchildren, do you want to take a New Year's gift?" Hua Taijun asked with a smile as he looked at the people on the table beside him.
"Yes!" said the juniors sitting at the table in unison.
Among them, Zhuo Yiyu pulled his neck and screamed the loudest, and Hua Taijun, who was shocked, avoided it. As soon as the words fell, the hot room burst into laughter.
"Come, come, come over next to me and your grandmother and kowtow to each other, kowtow one to one!" Mrs. Zhuo also said with a smile.
In a year, it is rare for Mrs. Zhuo and Mrs. Hua to be close to their children and grandchildren, and they are truly like the intimacy of their grandparents, and they are also in the thirties of the Chinese New Year's Eve. The children and grandchildren are naturally happy tightly.
After kowtowing to Master Zhuo and Hua Taijun, the other elders of the Zhuo family will also pay New Year's money, but they don't need to kowtow on their knees, just kneel and kowtow.
When Zhuo Yiyu heard this, he took three steps and made two steps and walked in front of Master Zhuo and them. knelt down in front of Master Zhuo, and said loudly, "I wish my grandfather the same strong body in the coming year! The Zhuo family is smooth and smooth!" As he spoke, he slammed three times on Mrs. Zhuo's knees.
"Take it, take it, give you a few more knocks, my knee should be broken by you. Mrs. Zhuo smiled and picked up a box on the table next to him and handed it to Zhuo Yiyu.
Zhuo Yiyu took it, didn't stand up, moved his knees and moved them to Hua Taijun, "I wish my grandmother a long and healthy life in the coming year, why are our families harmonious and happy!"
"Hey, wait, wait!" Hua Taijun smiled and reached out to press Zhuo Yiyu's forehead, and moved his knee to the side, "You give me a light knock, if it is as heavy as your grandfather, I will not give the New Year's money and add a board." ”
After that, everyone in the Zhuo family laughed.
"Hey, Haole!" Zhuo Yiyu's forehead went around Hua Taijun's hand, and he rushed forward, Hua Taijun was about to retract his knees, but Zhuo Yiyu slowed down at the moment of encounter, and knocked lightly.
Zhuo Yiyu raised his eyes slyly and looked at Hua Taijun, blinked, stretched out his two hands in front of Hua Taijun, "Wishing you prosperity, bring the red envelope!"
Hua Taijun picked up a red envelope in his arms and slapped Zhuo Yiyu on the forehead, with a smile in his eyes that couldn't be hidden, "You are the skiniest!"
Zhuo Yiyu took the red envelope and walked to the second master Zhuo Zihua next to him, knelt and kowtowed, his bright eyes looked at Zhuo Zihua and smiled, "Second uncle, Happy New Year!" said and stretched out his hand in front of Zhuo Zihua.
Zhuo Zihua laughed and handed over the prepared red envelope.
In this way, Zhuo Yiyu knelt all the way and kicked a lot of red envelopes in his arms, and returned to his seat with a smile.
Then there is the third young master Zhuo Yicheng in the second room, then the fourth young master Zhuo Yimin, then the second young lady Zhuo Yirou, and after kneeling, the third young lady Zhuo Yiping, and finally only Zhuo Yiyun and Zhuo Yijia are left.
Although Zhuo Yijia is older than Zhuo Yiyun in terms of generation, but every year Zhuo Yiyun is there, and Zhuo Yijia is the first time to come.
In the past, Zhuo Yijia spent the New Year in the side courtyard and Qingling Hongshan.
"Fourth sister, you go first. Zhuo Yiyun, who was sitting on the side, propped her head and looked at Zhuo Yijia, anyway, she took it every year, so she was not in a hurry for a while.
Zhuo Yijia didn't shirk when he heard this, nodded and got up and walked like an elder's table.
"Little Liu'er, when did you become so polite?" Mrs. Zhuo looked at Zhuo Yiyun and said with a smile. He likes this granddaughter, not only because of her personality, but mainly because she was born on his sixtieth birthday.
Later, he also took her with him every year after his death, and the grandfather and grandson were naturally much closer than ordinary people.
"Grandfather, when did I not understand etiquette!" Zhuo Yiyun sat up straight and looked at Mrs. Zhuo dissatisfiedly as soon as she heard this, "I am well-behaved and sensible, knowledgeable and courteous, on this etiquette poetry book, who else in the family except the eldest sister, oh no, except for the fourth sister, who has me! Hmph!" Saying this, Zhuo Yiyun pursed her mouth and snorted, she was the most lively in front of Mrs. Zhuo, and no one dared to say it if she was lawless.
A joke made everyone laugh again.
"Ouch, you brute girl, this cheeky is also thicker than me! But it's still your acquaintance, admit that the eldest sister and the fourth sister are better than you, or you will be really shameless to the extreme!" Zhuo Yiyu on the side said with a smile.
"The two of you are the two cheeky treasures of the Zhuo family. Mrs. Zhuo said with a smile, lowering his head and looking at Zhuo Yijia, who was already kneeling in front of him, "It's the first time you've come to the reunion dinner on the third day of the New Year." ”
"Hmm. Zhuo Yijia replied in a low voice.
Mrs. Zhuo looked at Zhuo Yijia, and the girl in front of her couldn't see the grievances of being left out in the cold before, nor the joy of the red envelope, just a faint smile.
"Well, come, kowtow, and I'll give you a New Year's gift. Mrs. Zhuo smiled and pointed to his knees.
"I wish my grandfather a long life, a safe and healthy New Year. Zhuo Yijia smiled significantly and said slowly.
Mrs. Zhuo casually picked up a gift with a red rope tied on the side and gave it to Zhuo Yijia, and said with a smile, "Why are you so inactive in taking a New Year's gift?"
