Chapter 7: Chinese New Year's Eve Banquet (1)

When I arrived at Yujia's house, the sunset shone on the wall, and the sunlight fell on the snow and scattered white light. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoWhen the slave girl led Yu Ge past the small courtyard where Yu Qiao lived, Yu Ge heard a faint cry inside, so she broke away from the slave girl's hand and ran in. Yu Ge leaned on the side of the courtyard gate, only to see the messy footprints all over the yard, and Yu Buckwheat was squatting in the snow, crying sadly. Yuge slowly stepped forward, only to see a dead cat lying in the snow, the soaked hair stuck to her body, the cloudy green eyes and the fangs on the side of her mouth together formed a strange death look, so frightened that she took two steps back, pointed to the dead cat on the ground in astonishment and asked, "Cat...... It...... How did it die? ”

Yu Qiao raised her head to look at Yu Ge, her tearful eyes cast a vicious light, she stood up and grabbed Yu Ge's hair and threw Yu Ge to the ground, stepped forward to grab Yu Ge, and drowned her head in the snow, that strength was not small at all! Yu Ge couldn't hold back, and in a trance, he only heard Yu Qiao muttering: "Don't you want to know how it died?" That's how it died! Yu Ge struggled, his heart was chaotic, could it be that he was wrong, Yu Ge was originally pushed into the water by Yu buckwheat and drowned? But Yu Buckwheat is only seven years old! How can a seven-year-old have such a vicious heart!

Seeing this, the scholar and the slave girl outside the courtyard hurriedly stepped forward to pull away Yu Ge and Yu Qiao. Yu Ge was picked up, looking at the surroundings only felt like a layer of frosted glass, she saw the buckwheat being pushed to the ground in the white snow, saw the buckwheat being spit on the face of the slave girl and did not resist, and saw the red eyes of the buckwheat crying only staring at her...... Seeing the slave girl carrying her out of the small courtyard and returning to the courtyard where the Jiang family was, seeing that she was put in the house by the slave girl, seeing a group of people panicked, seeing the scene in front of her for a while bright and dark, seeing Jiang slapping her face while shouting with tears: "Ge'er ......" Seeing that she didn't react, he hugged her in his arms and cried, Yuge cried out with a "wow" when he saw this, and his facial features returned to his place, and everything in front of him became clear again.

When Yuhai arrived in the courtyard, there was a mess in the small courtyard, and the slave girl who summoned the scholar who sent Yuge to school asked what was going on. Yu Ge, who had changed his clothes, was carried to the couch by the Jiang family, and listened to the slave girl kneeling in front of him crying and talking about what happened to Yu Ge in that courtyard. Yuhai frowned, turned his head and asked Yuge if this was the case? Yuge was quietly picking up a piece of pastry and sending it to his mouth, when he heard his father ask, he hurriedly stuffed the pastry into his mouth and nodded busily.

Seeing this, Yuhai stood up and said loudly: "I'll kill that rebel girl!" Yuge realized what her father was asking. Grabbed Yuhai's clothes, tears did not dry in the corners of his eyes, he looked at Yuhai bably, and said, "Daddy will spare Sister Yuqiao, Ge'er is not angry, and Daddy should not be angry, okay?" ”

Jiang didn't know why Yuge said this, and it was not good to say anything else when he saw this, so he only persuaded him together: "That child is still pitiful without his mother, and besides, the New Year is approaching, more things are better than less, and it's not worth it if you are angry, just listen to the song, spare her." ”

Yuhai was angry for a long time, and saw that Jiao'er's weak mother begged for a long time for Yubuckwheat, and then slowly dissipated. All the way back to the study, when I passed by the courtyard where the buckwheat was, I only saw the courtyard door wide open, there were dots of light in the house, and the shadow of the buckwheat was reflected in the window, thin and smart.

At night, Jiang coaxed Yuge to sleep, and Jiang asked: "You were so embarrassed by Yuqiao today, how can you still intercede for her?" ”

Yuge replied: "If Daddy passes, won't he know about the cat?" Mother, Sister Yuqiao hates me so much, but didn't I offend her? ”

Jiang sighed and said, "This matter has nothing to do with you, the old lady is not allowed to raise cats in the fish house, Aunt Xiao got a cat from nowhere to keep it in the house, and after scaring you a few times, I found out that the cat was in her house." Aunt Xiao saw that I was young and disobeyed my discipline, perhaps because I said that she had been seen by Yu Qiao several times and remembered it in my heart. Ge'er, don't provoke Yu Qiao in the future, she has no mother, and she must hate us in her heart. ”

Yuge nodded and asked, "Then why did my mother plead with my father today?" ”

Jiang thought for a while and replied: "Your father is a person who misses the old love, no matter whether your father really killed Yu buckwheat today, their mother and daughter always have a place in your father's heart." At first, Yu Buckwheat lost her mother, according to your father's temperament, I will definitely feel indebted to her in my heart, and one day I will find an opportunity to let Yu Buckwheat be the little master of the fish family. Today, I plead for her, not for anything else, just because of this, your sister Yuqiao will have no chance to turn over, and she can only be a female slave in the future, and she can no longer bully you. ”

Yu Ge looked at the mother who was saying these words under the bright and extinguished light, and suddenly felt that ancient women were so tired of living. Who can judge right and wrong, and what Qianfu refers to is not the king.

In the blink of an eye, Chinese New Year's Eve arrived, and the sound of firecrackers. Yu Qiao heard the sound in the house, freshened up, got up and opened the door. The snow fell in this small courtyard, the sun was just right, and I don't know if it was because of Chinese New Year's Eve, and there was a lot of joy in my heart. She hadn't been out of this courtyard for a long time, and no one had ever disturbed her purity, so she just took advantage of the winter plum Turui to go around the plum garden.

Walking in the snowy fish house, the fish house is still as beautiful as it was at the beginning. As she went, the female slaves avoided her when they saw her. I was a little disappointed in my heart but I didn't care, she went to enjoy the plum blossoms today, and no one bothered her.

Walking to the edge of the plum garden, looking at the familiar pavilion, I suddenly remembered that she had come to hold plum blossoms in her mother's arms, and her mother sat in the pavilion to tie her hair, thinking that the tip of her nose was sour for no reason. Suddenly, I heard a burst of laughter like silver bells, and Yu Qiao leaned on the edge of the plum garden and saw that Jiang was holding Yu Ge playing in the plum garden, Yu Ge picked a plum blossom and pinned it to Jiang's sideburns, and said delicately: "Mother, this one is also beautiful." ”

Yu Buckwheat suddenly lost interest and turned around and walked out of the plum garden. Walking on the stone bridge, I suddenly met Mrs. Yuhe and her family came to the banquet. Yu Qiao lowered her head and stood by the bridge to let them pass first. Yuqiao was born like Aunt Xiao, although she was thin and weak at a young age, she also looked like a flower, Mrs. Yuhe naturally recognized it, and saw her dressed shabby during the New Year, and stood by the bridge with her head down to let herself pass first, and suddenly felt some pity, stepped forward to hold her, and said: "Isn't this the second brother's daughter-in-law, let's go, this year, the third brother's family helps the old lady take care of the year, and each room only goes to the banquet." Your father and mother will definitely pass, so you can go with your aunt. Then he pulled her across the bridge and went all the way to the old lady's house. Yu Qiao's nose was sour, and she just wanted to cry, no one had cared for her like this since her mother left.

When I arrived at the old lady's house, the New Year's Banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve was as lively as in previous years, and the banquet had not yet begun, Yu Qian looked at the people who came to the banquet and smiled, looking at the position of his house in previous years, only Yu Ge and the Jiang clan were sitting, and there were no longer her and her mother's seats as before, and there were many losses in his heart. Seeing that the position of the Yuhai family did not have the place where the child was sitting, the wife of the Yuhe family thought that it might be the negligence of the third brother Yuhu family, so she pulled Yuqiao to sit beside her and sat with her own child. Yu Qiao sat in the last and most unobtrusive position, watching from a distance his father and uncles and uncles who were far away from him sitting next to the old lady and the old lady, and there was a man he didn't know at the table. The families in the back sat in line with the ladies of each room, and saw from a distance that the Jiang family was teaching Yuge to recognize people, but the two did not find that she was also at the table.

Soon the slave girl stepped forward to make vegetables, and was surprised to see that she was also at the table. The slave girl's shocked expression pierced her heart like a thorn. That's right, she shouldn't have been sitting here, her buckwheat has been reduced to a slave, but she is still surnamed Yu, and she wants to have a good meal during the New Year, is this wrong?

The Xiping County Mansion is not as lively as the Yu family, and the New Year Festival of their Di people is not the same as the New Year Festival of the Han people. It's just that many ethnic groups live together, and some Han customs are also dyed. Pu Hong took advantage of this day to let Pu Jian, the king of Qin, and Pu Xiong, the general of Longxiang, bring their families to the Xiping County Mansion and gather their families for a family banquet.

Before the banquet, Pu Hong was chatting with everyone, everyone listened with bated breath, only one one-eyed child did not care, and sat on the seat and made a noise from time to time. Pu Hong didn't care, and still gossiped with everyone. After the banquet, after three rounds of wine, when the wine was familiar, Pu Hong was talking, and everyone listened to Pu Hong with a silent smile during the banquet, but the one-eyed child broke the barbecue on the table, the plate flew out, and fell to the ground to make a loud noise, the child didn't care, and took out the saber he carried to cut the barbecue, and there was nothing to eat.

In the Yujia Mansion, Yu Qiao looked at the red faces of everyone, and she only felt sad in her heart. Biting his chopsticks and crying, he stood up and walked out. Seeing this, Mrs. Yuhe put down her chopsticks and followed out. Yu Qiao stood in the courtyard, looking at the dark sky and crying, Mrs. Yuhe's family was distressed, and asked on the side: "What's wrong with you, child?" I felt that something was wrong when I saw you today, and your mother didn't come to the banquet, did the Jiang family embarrass you and your mother? Yu Qiao shook his head while crying, crying so much that the pear blossoms brought rain.

The sound of a sea of fish suddenly sounded in the courtyard, and Yu buckwheat hurriedly suppressed his voice after hearing it. I only heard Yuhai say: "I have been in trouble since I went to school from Yuge, Brother Baili......"

Baili Qinghu replied: "There is no trouble or trouble, I accept her as a disciple and naturally should also take on the duties of a gentleman, these are all things, let her continue to go to school after the beginning of spring." Qinghu is alone in this capital, thank you Brother Yu for still thinking about me inviting me to come to the house for a banquet, but I am really too strong to drink, I resign at this time, and I hope to live up to the interest of the host's family. ”

Yuhai and Baili Qinghu gossiped and went out, and when Yuqiao saw this, he hurriedly hid to the side. Yuhai didn't seem to see her, so he just cared about luring Baili Qinghu out and said, "Brother Baili, what are these words, we don't have to say such polite words between us." ”

The two were talking, and Yuhe, who went out to breathe, saw his wife and a child hidden in the dark, looked at Yuhai and Baili Qinghu, and saw clearly that the child was Yuqiao, and also knew about Yuhai's family, so he shouted loudly: "Isn't this Yuqiao?" Come to my uncle, say a few auspicious words, and my uncle will give you some loose money to buy pastries to eat. ”

Yuhai was startled when he heard Yu buckwheat's name, and when he turned around, he saw two people standing in the dark. Knowing that she couldn't hide, Yu Qiao walked out of the darkness and walked to the bright light in front of her father. When the father and daughter met, Yuhai looked at the neatly dressed Yu Buckwheat in shabby clothes, and felt a little sorry for her, and hated the many foolish things she had done. Yuhe saw that Yu Hai was displeased, so he had to say inch by inch: "Come, come and kneel down in front of your uncle, and say an auspicious word to give you ten dollars." ”

Seeing this, Mrs. Yuhe wanted to come up to stop Yuhe, but was pushed away by Yuhe. Yuhe looked at the thin child in front of him, took out the silver money in his hand, and said, "Be good, say it quickly, say an auspicious word and give ten coins." Yu Qiao looked at his uncle Yuhe's face full of banter and frivolity, and felt some hatred in his heart, and when he saw that his father was also in front of him, he wanted to take revenge on his father. Walked straight up to Yuhe and knelt down to her uncle in front of her father.

Yuhai couldn't look at it, stepped forward and pulled up Yuqiao, and said angrily to Yuhe: "Nonsense, the old lady is still inside, which turn can the child kneel to you!" ”

Yuhe jokingly said, "Child? Do you think she's your own daughter? Your daughter is only afraid that there is only the fish song who is married to the Qin Wang's family! ”

Yu Qiao burst into tears when she heard this, and she couldn't pull it up even if she didn't let Yu Hai pull it up, so she only knelt in front of Yu He, and said in a trembling voice: "Yu Buckwheat...... I wish my uncle ...... Happy New Year. ”

Yuhe glanced at Yuqiao and Yuhai, threw ten coins on the ground, and said, "Ten coins!" ”

Yu Buckwheat cried, and then said, "Fish buckwheat...... I wish my uncle ...... All went well. ”

Yuhe didn't care, but threw ten more coins on the ground, saying, "Ten coins!" ”
