This New Year, the Zhao family is still lively, and Zhao Changyu has been a week and a half, wearing a little red jacket and a milky voice to greet the elders is particularly funny.

Zhao Changqing also specially wrapped a red envelope for him, Zhao Changning was there, Zhao Changqing had already woken him up, so Zhao Changning also took a red envelope to Zhao Changyu. Seeing this, Zhao Rong was glad that she had brought a few more purses on her body, thinking that Zhao Changqing was used to pretending now, but it was a pity that she felt that Zhao Changyu was still young, and when she couldn't remember, she was caught off guard for a while and asked Zhao Changqing to take the lead. Zhao Changyu hugged his two little fists together, and thanked him in a milky voice, which made his family laugh.

In addition to Zhao Changyu, Zhao Changqing gave Zhao Changning and Zhao Rong a red envelope each, and Su Bai also got one. Ling smiled, "Sure enough, the wealth is a little bigger." "This year, the bun shop paid dividends, Zhao Changqing and Mr. Su each got a hundred taels of silver, and the Ling family knew about it, so they made fun of their daughter.

Zhao Changqing smiled, "Just these younger brothers and sisters, I am the elder sister, so I naturally have a lot of money." If it were someone else, I wouldn't be reluctant. Everyone laughed.

When Zhao Yong looked at the sky outside, he took Zhao Changning out to pay New Year's greetings to his relatives and elders. Old lady Zhao Ling took the children to wait at home, and there will be relatives coming over for a while.

has been lively after the fifth day of the new year, and it is considered that she has finished her relatives' homes, but Zhao Yong still has a few posts to go to, and the Ling family also has a few interactions, and she is now not only knowledgeable, but also extremely meticulous. If there were acquaintances, Ling made the two daughters dress up and take them out for a walk together. And because Zhao Rong was still young and the first month was cold, the Ling family was not very relieved about her body, so she mostly took Zhao Changqing out.

Zhao Changqing is eleven years old, quite slim, her outstanding life, etiquette and behavior are good, and she has received some praise. The Zhao family had no place to sing, and the drinks were set for two days, and they were very busy from top to bottom, and the cooks borrowed two to deal with the past. Ling discussed with her husband, "It's okay usually, our family has always been frugal, and we don't need so much pomp. This time it will be shorter to the festival, so it is better to buy a few more people to serve in the spring. Not to mention home, now it's not good for you to go out without a long follower. ”

Zhao Yong is already a hundred households, even if he is not a person who likes pomp and circumstance, some big things can't be too casual, think about it and say, "It's good, the old lady will add another maid ring there." ”

Ling said, "Not only does the old lady want to add it, I think that the yard I bought at the back will also be repaired, and when the yard is repaired, not to mention anything else, move the kitchen to the back first, and make a flower hall in the west chamber. There are also a few rooms of the inverted seat room connected to the gatehouse, which I have also re-packed and set aside. ”

"There is another thing to discuss with you, when the back yard is cleaned up, I am worried about whether to ask the old lady to move to the back of the main house. Our house is a courtyard of the third year, and now the old lady lives in a spacious house, in the end, the back cover room was changed, not more spacious than the main house in the back yard. What's more, Ah Rong Aning will be seven years old next year, and their brother and sister have one room and one room, and each of them has their own little maid ring, which is really cramped. There is a two-entry courtyard at the back, and when it is repaired, I want to move Changqing and Ah Rong to the courtyard at the back. When an old lady watched, she was not afraid; Second, when the girl is older, she must have her own house. Changqing is very good at tidying up the house, Ah Rong's house is narrow, and now there are more things, and there are many places to put them. "It's true that there are many children in the family, but there are also a lot of things. Ling said, "Their sisters went to the back yard and asked Mr. Su and Ah Bai to live in the current Changqing's house, which is also three, and it is a house facing north and south, which is better than the current East Chamber, not to mention that the courtyard Changqing cleaned up beautifully." As for the house where the old lady lives now, it is better to live with A-Ning if she moves to the old lady. First, A-Ning is getting older, secondly, Mr. Su has good knowledge and character, and Abai is a very talented child. As the old saying goes, people are virtuous and virtuous, and Ah Ning lives close to Ah Bai, which also means that Ah Ning is motivated. ”

Zhao Yong pondered for a while and said, "That's fine." Behind is a serious two-entry courtyard, only one less than our house, enough for the old lady and the girls to live. ”

"Exactly." Ling smiled, "At that time, the kitchen will be set up in the back cover room, the old lady will live in the main room, Changqing and Ah Rong will have an east and a west room, and the middle yard is not small. Naturally, our family doesn't dare to compare with others, but it's better to have more flowers and trees. In the future, their sisters will invite guests and friends, and they will not worry about having no place. Besides, not only do the old ladies have to add two people to the house, that is, their sisters, who are getting older, and they can't be wronged too much, so it's better to add a little girl to each person. According to my meaning, you don't have to be too old, you seem to be Fu and Yihua, they were also ignorant when they first came, but now they have been conditioning for two years, and they are very good. The little girl ring is cheap in price, and the other is adjusted by their sisters themselves, and they will be loyal in the future. It's just a matter of spending some food and a few clothes. ”

Zhao Yong said, "Since Ah Ning is only asked to live by himself, he lives in three rooms by himself, and it is also empty, so I will also add a maid to him." Girls are more careful. ”

"It's not just A-Ning, it's good to buy one more and give it to Mr. Su." Su Bai has a future, Zhao Yong's gray income has also increased greatly, and the Ling family has a lot of money, so he will not be stingy with these little favors, and laughs, "Mr. Su and Changqing were very busy for a while a few years ago, and they copied a lot of books back. Ah Bai is also getting older, and he will study harder and harder in the future, buy a girl, and share some work for Mr. Su. ”

Zhao Yong smiled, "Just don't buy those naughty ones, it doesn't matter if you're stupid, the children are getting older, and there are so many people in the family, so you need to be on guard." "Especially his son, Zhao Yong thinks that he is not such a luxury and floating family, although he is already a hundred households, he is more cautious.

"When it comes to adding people, it's not like adding it all at once, just take your time. The old lady and their sisters were added first, and the other Yahuan for A-Ning always had to be seen by me. "The Ling family is now a little more knowledgeable, and there are a few families who have a two-room concubine. The husband is rising step by step, and Ling's heart is not defenseless.

Seeing that the Ling family was doing everything well, Zhao Yong smiled and quipped, "Ouch, Mrs. is really getting more and more wise." What else do I have to say, a qiē Duyi Mrs. means that. ”

Ling smiled, "This year's expenses are bigger, but I just spent the money in advance, and now that the house is cleaned up, when A-Ning Ayu marries a daughter-in-law in the future, the family doesn't have to make a big move." ”

Zhao Yong nodded and said, "When I bought the back yard, I also thought about this." The back yard always has to be cleaned up, the doors and windows are fine, and the third brother Xiang changed it a few years ago, which is the material of yellow pine. The furniture in the house was found in the place where the old furniture was sold when the house was rented out for those who rented it, so it is better for us to replace it with a new one. You don't need high-quality wood, just use pine. ”

Ling smiled, "It's okay." ”

The husband and wife discussed for a long time, and Zhao Changqing heard about it and said, "The yard I bought is also a little dilapidated, and the family invited a craftsman to come, and by the way, I will clean up the yard I bought, and it is enough to paint the heavy paste wallpaper." ”

Ling Shi smiled, "It's simple. I'll ask for a craftsman when the first month comes, and I'll tell you then. ”

Zhao Changqing smiled and went to prepare for the light market.

Ling Teng didn't come with the light market this year, it's not that Ling Teng didn't want to go to the light market with his sisters, it was really Sister Ling's marriage, a good day on the eighteenth day of the first month, Uncle Ling's family also had to entertain guests in advance, Ling Teng was the only heir of the two rooms, and he had always been thoughtful and proper, so he was busy with Uncle Ling, and he really didn't have time to visit the light market. Therefore, it was the Zhao family's sister and brother, Mr. Su's mother and son, and Li Mingbao, Li Mingzhu's brother and sister, who went to the lamp market to play.

On the evening of the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Chu Yu asked Zhao Changqing to go to Ouyang Qingfeng.

Zhao Changqing was wearing a rose-red gold skirt, wearing a small finch-headed hairpin on his head, and a string of rice beads on the bird's beak, which swayed between his hair, reflecting a pair of pendants in Zhao Changqing's ears, and Zhao Changqing was particularly pretty.

Chu Yu smiled, "This dress is beautiful." "The materials were picked by him, and the jewelry was also chosen by him, and it was really suitable for his sister.

Zhao Changqing curled the corners of his lips and smiled, "The clothes were given to me by the master, and so are the hairpins and pendants." "What the elders give, don't hide it, you have to wear it out and show it to the elders. And in the first month, Zhao Changqing changed his body.

This stupid girl......

Chu Yu smiled deliberately, "Now the master is generous, I used to follow him and never gave me anything." ”

Ouyang Qingfeng smiled, "That's not right, I remember to give you a beating or something from time to time." ”

Ouyang Qingfeng has always been funny, Su Bai pursed his lips, and Zhao Changning giggled. Chu Yu glanced at these two little things and sighed secretly: It's really a little tail that follows everywhere you go! I really can't understand why Sister Qing always takes them when she goes out.

Moreover, the two little things are particularly eyeless and love to show! Everyone talked about it, Zhao Changqing played the flute for everyone, and Zhao Changning immediately recommended himself and said, "Master, I'll show you the sword!" ”

Chu Yu's eyebrows jumped: Sister Qing plays the flute, and if you want to dance the sword, I will also dance the sword, where is the turn to get this kid Zhao Changning! Chu Yupi persuaded with a smile, "A-Ning, where is there a sword for you to dance here, sit back in peace." ”

Zhao Changning thought for a while and said, "If you don't have a sword, you can have branches." "He's not the kind of person who is very particular, and he can make do with it.

Ouyang Qingfeng liked Zhao Changning's frank temperament, and ordered someone to find a small sword for him to use, Zhao Changning was very happy, so two sisters and brothers, one played the flute and the other danced the sword, and the rest watched with a smile, which was also very interesting.

Ouyang Qingfeng smiled, "Changqing's flute is playing very well. ”

Zhao Changqing said, "My little skill was taught by Mr., and now I am also a class in front of Brother Chu." ”

Chu Yu's heart moved slightly, and he smiled, "Your flute is good, but I just want me to say that you can play it even better." Bring it to me and teach you. He asked Zhao Changqing's flute, put it on his lips casually, thinking that it was the flute that Zhao Changqing had just played, and couldn't help but feel a wave in his heart, so he blew the tune that Zhao Changqing had just blown again, and after a song, he told Zhao Changqing again what to pay attention to.

So, the two discussed flute playing skills. Zhao Changning didn't understand much, but he still admired it very much, and whispered to Su Bai, "Brother Bai, I didn't think that Brother Chu could play the flute?" He also thought that Brother Chu would only dance with knives and sticks.

Su Bai smiled, "Yes, Brother Chu plays the flute very well, he must be a person who is proficient in music, and he can't say that he can play other musical instruments." ”

Zhao Changqing heard this, "Brother Chu not only can play the flute, but also plays the piano very well. ”

Speaking of playing the piano, Ouyang Qingfeng thought of something, ordered the waiter Ji to take a lyre, and said to Chu Yu, "You try this piano?" ”

Chu Yu took it, put it directly on his lap, and plucked it twice, the sound of the piano was deep and clear, and even Zhao Changqing, who didn't know much about the piano, said, "This piano is very good." ”

Chu Yu's ten fingers were plucked flexibly, and the sound of the piano was like a valley stream, which was very beautiful. Chu Yu admired, "It's not bad, it's quite famous." I couldn't help asking, "Where did Master get such a good piano?" ”

Ouyang Qingfeng took a sip of tea slowly and smiled, "This piano is thanks to Mr. Su." "That's the end of the words, the real fisherman's appetite.

Zhao Changqing was curious, "How do you say this?" ”

Ouyang Qingfeng said softly, "Once Mr. Su went to the pawnshop to buy books, and he met the pawnshop and received a coffin......

Su Bai: The pawnshop even accepts coffins......

He really couldn't help but ask, "Master Ouyang, isn't it unlucky to collect the coffin?" ”

Ouyang Qingfeng smiled loudly, "What's unlucky?" Coffin coffin, promotion and fortune. Besides, if a person dies and does not lie in the coffin, there is nothing unlucky about what he is lying on. ”

Zhao Changning couldn't help laughing when he heard the phrase "being promoted to become rich", and urged, "Master, what happened later?" Could it be a piano made of coffin boards? ”

Ouyang Qingfeng nodded slightly, "At that time, Mr. Su knocked lightly twice, and the sound was abnormal, so he told me that this wood is excellent, and if it is made into a piano, it will be a famous product in the world." I ordered someone to send the plate to Shuzhong, and asked Mu 15 to help palm the eye, a few days ago, Mu 15 sent this qin back. ”

Zhao Changqing leaned over to look at the qin, and saw the words "Winter Solstice" engraved on the back of the piano, and asked, "Is this qin called the winter solstice?" ”

Ouyang Qingfeng smiled, "Mu 15 finished the piano on the day of the winter solstice, so he carved this name. It is also reasonable for him to name the piano he made. ”

Chu Yu himself is also proficient in music rhythm, and when he heard Ouyang Qingfeng ask Mu Fifteen to make the piano, he sighed and said, "If he makes a move, it won't be a grievance." ”

Although he heard Chu Yu say several times how great Mu Shifu was in terms of music, Zhao Changqing still said, "Since Mr. found a good material, why didn't Master ask Mr. to make a piano, my husband's piano skills are also extraordinary and outstanding." ”

Ouyang Qingfeng smiled, "Those who are good at the piano are not necessarily good at making the piano. This qin Abai took it back, gave it to Mr. Su for a few days, and then returned it is the same, which can be regarded as the cause and effect of this qin. ”

Su Bai thanked him politely.

For a while, everyone had eaten rice balls, and when the night was getting darker, Chu Yu and Zhao Changqing got up to say goodbye, and Ouyang Qingfeng didn't keep them much. Chu Yu led someone to send Zhao Changqing and his party to the back of the house and turned around and returned home.

Su Bai took the winter solstice back to the house, and Mr. Su asked, "Where did you get the piano?" ”

Su Bai said, "It was Master Ouyang who asked me to bring it to my mother for appreciation, saying that it was a good piano made of coffin board." ”

Mr. Su laughed, "Oh, it's the coffin board, it seems that it has really been made into a piano." After taking it, he dialed it a few times, "Not bad." Just put it on the long table at will, and said to Su Bai, "The hot water kitchen has been delivered, you can wash and sleep, you have to go to school tomorrow." ”

Su Bai glanced at the famous piano that was casually shelved by his mother, and asked, "Mother, don't you like this piano?" ”

Mr. Su smiled quietly, put his index finger in front of his lips, and said in a small voice, "Although this piano is good, it is not a famous product, and it is not the best." ”

Su Bai has given her mother an abnormal aura that she has been refining over the years, and asked, "Mother, so you say, do you have any excellent piano?" "A few years ago, his family was poor, but his mother saved some silver in the past few years.

Mr. Su raised his eyebrows slightly, revealing a little smugness, "I saw this coffin when it was, and the poor family could even be Lao Tzu's coffin, so I kept an extra eye." Later, I inquired and found out that the family was also a scholarly family, but the children were really not angry, and the old lady in the family died, so they were not in a hurry to go out of the funeral, but took the original prepared coffin as silver, and went back to change a thin coffin. ”

"Think about it, what else can't be done by such unfilial descendants. I asked two people to keep an eye on their house, and sure enough, a few days later, when the old lady was buried, I opened the coffin of my father, which was originally stored in the temple. He had some family assets in his family, and he took out the funeral goods in his father's coffin to spend them, and after the first time he was used as a coffin, he thought that the coffin could also be sold for silver, so he simply didn't do it endlessly, and buried the two old men together in the thin coffin, and the rest of the coffin that was used by his father before was pulled out and used as money. Mr. Su sighed, "I had already instructed those two to see them pull out the coffins and sell them, just pretend to collect the old furniture." It cost me five taels of silver to accomplish this. Mr. Su was very distressed, but still happy, "Fortunately, it is indeed a rare piece of good wood, which is also worth it." ”

Su Bai didn't dare to speak, and trembled for a while before asking, "Mother, where is the coffin you received?" "People, people, Mr. Ouyang used the coffin board to make the piano, but it was an unused coffin. His mother took the coffins of the dead, oh my God!!!!

Mr. Su was full of innocence, "You lie down and sleep on it every day, don't you notice it?" ”

Su Bai suddenly looked like he was about to faint, and everyone stammered, "I, I, I'm lying down......"

"yes." Mr. Su said as a matter of course, "I asked someone to rinse it up, tidy it up, and then put your mattress down." ”

Su Bai screamed, "Pat my mattress and bow my head—"Oh my God! Hell! I can't live this day!

Mr. Su laughed, "Silly boy, such a precious thing, how can I make you blasphemy under your mattress." I deposited it in the Ping'an Temple, spent a tael of silver, asked the monk to chant the scriptures to go to bad luck, and then moved back to make the piano in two days, and the guarantee was a hundred times better than this winter solstice. ”

Su Bai burst into tears: Mother, can we live peacefully?
