021: Spring has spring flowers and autumn months
Zhang Meixi lowered her head slightly, avoided the black eyes that could shoot sharp rays, got up and curtsied:
"I like it very much, thank you, Brother Bojian."
Mrs. Zhou smiled and patted her eldest son on the shoulder:
"How can you give a girl this!"
Mrs. Zhang deliberately patted her heart and laughed:
"It's not good, put the snatch on the table, it's weird and scary."
Mrs. Zhou stood up, pulled Zhang Meixi to sit down, and gently slid her hand over her soft hair:
"I need to send some flowers."
Mrs. Zhang smiled and said:
"I'm a big girl, I don't usually like flowers."
The third young master of the Zhou family interjected innocently:
"Big sister, I'll teach you how to shoot a target, this gun is light. The wrist does not get tired. β
On Tuesday, the young master was gesturing on the side to demolish the stage for his third brother:
"You still have to teach others, you practice yourself first, and the most important thing is that the target should be made into a grinding plate."
The two families laughed happily, and so did the stewards and the housekeepers below......
The spring of 1922 came to the midst of this cheerful laughter.
The snow melted and turned into clear water to moisten the earth, and the fields became green, tenants and small farmers began to bust in the fields, and the scattered unknown flowers swayed in the spring breeze.
Zhang Meixi wore a light green riding costume and followed the three young masters of the Zhou family to Pingshan for horseback riding.
Spring breeze Buddha face, fresh air, green grass ups and downs, full of spring scenery, Zhang Meixi carefully sat on an honest little mare horse, Wednesday the young master pulled the reins innocently, while also cautiously advised:
"Big sister, don't be afraid, this horse is the most honest, I will take it around and get familiar with it."
Young Master Zhou chose the strongest horse, with a round belly, long jujube hair, and four hooves as white as snow.
Flying and jumping on the horse's back, the fierce horse suddenly neighed, and its two front hooves rose upright, and the whole person was parallel to the ground one hundred and eighty degrees.
It was one hundred and eighty degrees, and the people on the horse were as steady as Mount Tai, and the horse put down its front hooves, and its hind hooves rose into the air, and the people immediately turned into upside-down onions.
Tossed back and forth like this two or three times, but it was still useless, and the fierce horse neighed again, and ran into the distance like lightning, and in a short time disappeared.
Zhang Meixi has been sitting carefully on her horse, her horse is slow, one moment to eat the freshest weeds, and the other to drink the water in the mountain stream.
The spring sun is warm, and she is going to be drunk in this spring breeze.
Suddenly, a burst of red lightning rushed towards me.
Young Master Zhou, sitting on his fierce horse in military uniform, cracked his mouth and smiled, with a neat white teeth:
"Big sister, I'm also honest, and if I take you around fast, it's not a trip in vain."
Before Zhang Meixi could agree, she felt like a goose feather, grabbed by one hand and moved from one horse to another.
The breath of the young man surrounded her, almost suffocating......
In the summer, people are wilting, and the inner and outer courtyards of the Zhang family's mansion are quiet, only the summer cicadas on the tree are the most arrogant, shouting hoarsely.
The little girl Peach, as soon as she stepped into the door of the big study, she stomped her feet angrily:
"The second young master of the Zhou family hates it the most!"
"Little girl Peaches hates that the most, disturbing people's naps." The second young master of the Zhou family had a clear voice, uncovered the rice paper attached to his face, slowly sat up from the rattan chair that he used as a bed, and sorted out his cyan robe.
"You sleep with yours, and you are not allowed to cover your face with the words practiced by our eldest girl in the future." Peaches stamped her foot again.
"Why can't you take it?" There was a playful smile in the young master's clear voice on Tuesday.
"You're just annoying, you're annoying......." The little girl Peaches was angry, she couldn't say it, her girl's calligraphy was too ugly, and the young master was clearly a joke when she did it on Tuesday.
"The handwriting I wrote is also a waste of that rice paper, and it is a great thing that the second young master can still come up with a wonderful use. Peach, don't make a fuss. Zhang Meixi walked in with a smile.
On Tuesday, the young master stood up from the rattan chair, smiled and clenched his fists and bent down to salute:
"Hello big girl."
Zhang Meixi bent her knees slightly and returned a salute:
"Hello young master Tuesday."
The names of the three young masters of the Zhou family are also very messy, the eldest young master always calls her eldest sister, and she will return to Brother Bojian. The third young master always called her big sister, and she replied to a third brother. This second young master calls the eldest girl every time, and she also replies to the second young master in a decent manner.
Zhang Meixi and Young Master Tuesday, the two of them politely, each flipping through their own books, had nothing to do with each other.
But it was in a study that the two finally bumped into each other, reaching for the same newspaper at the same time.
Zhang Meixi smiled:
"Let me see it first, and I'll give it to you in five minutes."
Young Master Tuesday laughs:
"The eldest girl sees things quickly, and she is a talented girl with ten lines at a glance."
Zhang Meixi replied:
"It's always not as memorable as last Tuesday's young master."
In autumn, the fields begin to bear fruit, and the tenants and small farmers rejoice. It's a rare good year.
On Wednesday, the young master was naΓ―ve, and came to Zhang Meixi to offer treasures:
"Big sister, take a look, I brought you something delicious, it's fragrant."
The little girl Peach screamed again:
"Take it out, it's dirty, it's disgusting."
Zhang Meixi took a closer look, and there were several strings of insects in the hands of the young master on Wednesday, which were worn with the slender stems and leaves of a kind of thatch, fat insects.
Zhang Meixi laughed:
"This is a locust, you can eat it, I was afraid of the drought last year, and this year there will be a locust plague, but now it's just right to eat this. You can fry it and eat it with a little salt. β
The young master next to him couldn't listen anymore:
"What kind of locust, this is a grasshopper or not, the grasshopper doesn't know it, this one is best to eat if it is burned."
On Wednesday, the young master agreed with his second brother's words, and immediately asked Xiao Tao to get a charcoal basin to burn it.
On Wednesday, the young master took matters into his own hands, and after smearing his little face a few times black, he finally roasted a string of charred and fat gnats and handed it to Zhang Meixi to taste first.
Little Peach immediately pounced:
"How can the big girl eat such a thing, if she wants to die, let me come first."
β¦β¦
After a while,
"Oh, it's delicious, this yellow is a seed in it, and the seed is still yellow in it. Big girl, you taste it. β
Xiao Tao's cheerful voice is going to fill the Qianjinju.
After the autumn grain is harvested.
The stewards at the bottom reported that this year was a good year, the wind and rain were smooth, and even last year's deficit was flat.
Mrs. Zhang breathed a sigh of relief and smiled:
"Hey, it's a peaceful year, and I originally thought that if it was the same as last year, there was a drought and a bandit, so I would let Xi'er go to her uncle's house in Shanghai and find a girls' school to study."
Uncle Zhang answered with a smile:
"Girl's family, it doesn't matter if you study well or not, it's just that now that the Republic of China is here, it's good to let her go to Shanghai to see it."
Mrs. Zhang smiled and clapped her hands:
"Uncle really thinks so? It's just that this matter depends on the old lady's meaning. β
So the three parents of the Zhang family got together to discuss it and quickly made a decision.
Let the eldest girl Zhang Meixi study in Shanghai.
