The family banquet is said to be a dinner party, but in fact, the sky is still bright. The cold days are short, and the feast is earlier. The reason is simple, the level of lighting in ancient times was limited, and no amount of candles could compare to sunlight. Except for the Chinese New Year's Eve, which has a vigil and must have a night banquet, the rest can be early. The old lady's main house is high, although the light is not very good through the window paper, but as a supplementary light source for candles, the house is bright, and the delicacies of the golden hairpin and phoenix hairpin are shining brightly.

The brightness is sufficient, and it is very clear to look at people. The people of the Chen family are average-looking. Only Yang Anqin is a beauty, and she is still picked by the capital after the Chen family is developed. Chen's appearance is beyond everyone, and her two elder brothers are passers-by, which can compare to the Ye family's style. In fact, the children of the Ye family are good-looking, all thanks to the blessing of the old lady. When the old lady was young, she was famous for her talent and appearance, and the old lady was not bad looking, so that the children were brilliant. When the Chen family chose a son-in-law, the appearance of the eldest man was very ingenious. Chen Gong has seen few girls, and when he suddenly sees a beautiful sister, he will inevitably be shaken. Fortunately, everyone's attention was on Chen Qian, and they didn't pay attention to his stupidity. After looking at it for a while, I felt embarrassed and lowered my head first. Others don't notice it.

Yang Anqin is a lively character, and he joked with the Yue Qin family in a few words. Seeing this, Ting Fang couldn't help but think, it doesn't matter if she has a bad impression or a misunderstanding, the focus is on how to solve the misunderstanding and get closer slowly. Being a concubine can please her mother-in-law is only half of the success, and the other half lies in the uncle's family. My mother-in-law likes to have a status in her mother's family, and she can support her after she gets married, but she has to discount it when she says she is married. Even if you say that you are raised in front of your mother-in-law, you have to pay at least eighty-five folds, and if you are unlucky, you will have to go down with seven folds. In ancient times, girls could not be divorced, and whether they lived well or not depended on the reliability of their husbands. For example, with Chen's family background, in the 21st century, the daughter of the top leader of a certain province, Ye Junwen is so arrogant when she is tired and crooked. But in ancient times, he could be so arrogant, and Chen couldn't bear it anymore and had to endure it from the beginning.

What's even more sad is that the productivity in ancient times was extremely low, she was already a wealthy noble, and there were still many inconveniences in life. Qiang has money at home, and food can basically meet the needs. Compared with her well-off level in modern times, only jewelry can produce a crushing advantage, and the rest are not as comfortable as modern times. In other words, she has to find a way to continue to mix in the wealthy family, otherwise she may not even be able to afford to eat meat. In ancient times, the quality of life was greatly reduced, and it was estimated that it would not be able to survive any further decline, so I had to work hard. The most tragic thing is that the so-called hard work can only rely on marrying well...... Because you don't have a good chance to do it. What a tragedy.

Everyone at the table had their own thoughts, Ting Fang patted the horse for many years, and finally kicked the iron plate, and he didn't know how to kick it, and his mind was full of thinking about how to move the iron plate away. Tinglan wanted to get together several times to curry favor, but Yang Anqin was indifferent. She thought about it, and Yang Anqin knew it with her knees. Tinglan touched it a few times, and she already knew that her aunt was not waiting to see her, but Aunt Sun told her a thousand times, so she had to continue on her head. Aunt Sun's thinking is right, that is, the way of expression is to cheat the father. Just say that you are on, you are on, I don't know how to get on. Tinglan's half-grown child was so forced that he couldn't advance or retreat, and he was about to cry in a hurry.

If Ting Fang can still catch two eye knives and barely count the people on the cards, Ting Shu will be even more depressed. Yang Anqin didn't think he had a zài at all, and he loved to ignore it. Recently, he has seen more such eyes, and he knows what kind of life he lived in the past. Previously, Aunt Zhou said that the Chen family would snub him when he gave birth to a son, but he didn't believe it. Now it seems that he is not only cold, but almost wishes that he was never born. had to put away all the wanton in the past, and almost acted as a man with his tail between his legs. Looking at the younger brothers in the third room, he only smiled bitterly, it turned out that this was the concubine, and he only knew it now.

China is a big food country, both ancient and modern. The feast was full of delicious food, and most of the people were still very happy. Ting Fang was depressed for a while, and couldn't be depressed anymore in the face of the fried yellow beef she loved to eat. This dish is the kitchen's specialty, the yellow beef is diced, mixed with a little sauerkraut and chili stir-fried, the aroma is dotted with slight acidity, the most appetizing. Ting Fang swept half of the plate silently, ate two bowls of rice in one go, and began to return to the cage in a good mood. Over there, Chen Gong was stunned when he saw Tingfang's amount of food, beautiful sister, you can eat it!!

After eating and drinking, Ting Fang was satisfied with a bowl of chestnut chicken soup and drank it without a match, and bit her ear with Ting Shan by the way: "From tomorrow onwards, we will go to school separately, with a screen in the middle, we are in the west, and the brothers are in the east." ”

Ting Shan said unhappily: "Okay, because we have to separate when they come, it's not interesting." ”

Ting Fang's good mood index fell a little bit as soon as she recovered: "I can't stop anything through the screen, I'm too careful at home." ”

Ting Shan shook her head: "It's not all for the two cousins. They are all relatives, and the rules are stricter and looser, mainly because of the student that my father accepted. Speaking of which, Zheng'er has worshiped the teacher, and he can be half a son, so he has to come to our house to learn from time to time, mainly to avoid him. ”

Tingfang was speechless and choked, and she didn't know what the ancients thought, she always trapped her daughter to death, didn't meet outsiders, didn't see relatives and friends, and didn't know how to get along with men when she got married. It is said that the husband is the sky, you don't know what the sky looks like, and you can't find the temple gate with a pig's head! The rules are all written by women, and the girl's family has been learning to please her mother-in-law for decades. It's not that the mother-in-law doesn't need to please, but let's distinguish the subject-verb-object, right? No matter how good your mother-in-law is, your husband doesn't like you, and you can't live your life. The eldest man just prefers Aunt Zhou, the old lady is a good mother-in-law, right? Is she really going to smoke Aunt Zhou for her daughter-in-law? It's all for his son's future. Mother-in-law is not a mother, and no matter how much she pleases, it is useless. However, the husband is more cost-effective, and he is not allowed to contact boys, and he is also drunk.

Speaking of Xu Jingchang, the apprentice who was chased away from the ducks and put on the shelves, Ting Shan sighed again: "I've seen him, he looks really good, but he doesn't have talent in his belly." I haven't even read "Xunzi" well, let alone want to read it, which makes my father angry enough. ”

Ting Fangqing is not good, and the complaint skill points are fully opened: "The Xu family is sick!" The eldest brother is the eldest son, so can he read "Xunzi"? Shouldn't he read "Sun Tzu", and it's his job to serve the frontier skillfully, what are you doing with us? His dad has a bad brain? ”

Ting Shan is the daughter of a scholar, and she naturally feels that everything is inferior, but reading is high, Xu Jingchang worships under her father's door, although she feels that she is causing trouble to her father, but she is not unhappy in her heart - look, even Xungui appreciates my father's talent. After being reminded by Ting Fang, he remembered: "That's right! What does he do when he reads? If it's the second son, it's hard to have a book in the future where the prince will go on a scientific expedition and compete with the people? No matter how good my father is, he doesn't study the art of war! ”

Ting Fang felt that the world was really mysterious: "So his family's mind is full of water." It's a mess, we can't go to class. Mr. Kang certainly values his brothers, and he will have to ignore us a little in the future. ”

Ting Shan sighed with her, the bigger it gets, the less fun it gets. In addition, the cousin of the Chen family is really ordinary and uninteresting.

Ting Miao watched Ting Fang and Ting Shan chirping, and also learned to chat with Ting Xiu. Ting Xiu has a good personality, much more atmospheric than his mother Qin, and he doesn't like to criticize his sister-in-law, but has some sympathy. Ting Miao was rarely lively, she was happy in her heart, so she accompanied her to talk. Girls are born gossipy, and it's hard to be cold if you have the heart to chat. It is said that the highest skill of a woman is to talk to two people, and they have nothing to do with each other, but they can talk happily for most of the day. The two who cooperate with each other are even more deed in a few words. The number of people chatting at the table increased, and the room gradually became lively.

Tonight's family banquet is mainly for the old lady to play with a group of female children. The old lady and the three old men withdrew after a whistle, and went to the study to set up a table, and the father and son drank and gossiped. The old man was not there, and Ting Jue was honest and began to patrol the field for two quarters of an hour. After saluting the elders, he immediately jumped in front of Ting Fang: "Drink!" ”

The wine on the table is fruit wine, with low degree and high sweetness. However, Tingfang's knowledge reserve is too large, and she knows that all alcohol products other than wine-brewed balls are not good things, and with her fear of death, she resolutely refuses to touch it. But since Ting Jue came, he had to pretend to take a cup of osmanthus dew and drink it all, and also persuaded: "Go to school tomorrow, brother drink less." ”

Where is Ting Ji willing to listen, he is afraid that Ting Shan will miss him, so he quickly retreats to find someone else to drink. came and went, and got mixed up with Chen Gong. Chen Gong was full of people who felt bored, and when he met Ting Jue, he was crazy, it was just **, Yang Anqin and Yue's were unprepared, and the two bear children were drunk. You sang a word and I sang a play.

The old lady couldn't help but laugh: "Quickly pull them down and pour a few bowls of sobering soup." Ting Jue just owes him Lao Tzu to pump him, and he will pay it back if he doesn't go to the house for three days! ”

Yue's hated teeth itched, why did she give birth to a son who was out of tune! The four children alone are different, and I don't know which one they look like. Yang Anqin was also ground dead by his youngest son, if it wasn't for a relative's house, he would have sacrificed rattan long ago. The old lady held a good banquet, but she didn't want her grandson to be beaten, so she hurriedly said: "Uncle and Mrs. are tired of traveling and driving, we have all the days we get together, so let's rest early today." ”

Yang Anqin has something in her heart, and she wants to restrain her son, so she can't wait to go back as soon as possible. I would like to thank him and say a few words. The formalization is very cumbersome, and it can't be done again, the old lady followed a few words, and the three wives praised each other's children once, and everyone dispersed.

The female dependents dispersed, and the old lady listened to Xin'er and waved away his sons. After the old man sent the old lady back, it was already dark. Walking on the way home, I suddenly saw the chief rushing to the front with a lantern, and whispered: "Back to the master's words, the shopkeeper Zhou cried and came to report that his store was smashed!" ”
