Chapter 463: Keeping the New Year

Wait, wait another year. After the township test, I saw how the results were...... Let's give Junwen Zhang Luo a marriage again! There are also Junshu and Lin Xu...... In a blink of an eye, they have become adults, and they are going to say that they have married their wives.

At the beginning, Lin Xu had a good foundation in school, but Master Guo didn't let him rush to get off the exam, Junwen went to school late, not to mention his thin foundation, and his intelligence was slightly insufficient.

Now, Junwen has won the show, and she will inevitably hesitate a little, not to say what she dislikes, but to say goodbye to Junwen at this time, she is worried that it will affect Junwen's mind and delay the next township test......

Before, when Junwen was not yet a talent in Xiucai, she also paid attention to Mr. Yuan's daughter Yuan Yuer, the child has a beautiful appearance and a gentle and graceful personality, if Junwen's grades are not high, it is just right to marry back as a daughter-in-law.

Junwen will be nineteen years old after the New Year, although it is a virtual age, there are not many people left who are not married in the countryside at this age, not to mention those who have not yet decided to marry, even if they are placed in the capital, nineteen-year-old boys should really worry about family affairs.

In his heart, he was thinking about his own big children.

This is a worthless nonsense. Qiu Chen didn't say anything, just as Yuegui sent a bowl of hot goat's milk, Qiu Chen hung his head and fed Brother Yun milk spoonful by spoonful.

On such a topic, Qiu Chen also didn't plan to talk about it, and Qin Zheng also became a gourd with a sawed mouth, and he didn't say a word. As the mother-in-law, it is the duty of the Li family to worry about the marriage of the concubine and the concubine, and there is no way to avoid it, so she has to answer the conversation: "The third child is not young, and I have been looking for it...... But the third child is now unsuccessful, and the good people refuse to marry the girl, the bad one, to be honest, I am still reluctant to wronged the third child......"

After discussing this matter, Qin Xiuyi started talking about the marriage of several concubines.

It's okay, it's okay, she didn't count her Rokuro in it...... Going to the army is not a sin that ordinary people can bear!

Li Shi blinked, came back to his senses, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"This ...... All right! Qin Xiuyi groaned again, and after seeing the impatience on his eldest son's face, he finally agreed.

Qin Zheng didn't wait for him to ponder, but said lightly: "Send it to the army to polish and polish, not to mention how much achievement, at least those faults can be polished, and I will know some depths and shades in the future!" ”

"Send it to the army......" Qin Xiuyi muttered.

As soon as these words came out, not only Qin Xiuyi was stunned, but even the Li family, who was sitting next to him, was also stunned, and raised his eyes to look at Qin Zheng in a daze.

Qin Zheng raised his eyes and looked at Qin Xiuyi, a trace of impatience flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly: "Leave it to me and send it to the army!" ”

Qin Xiuyi showed some distress slightly, rubbed his forehead and said, "I also know that something is wrong, but there is nothing else to do!" ”

Qin Zheng said lightly: "Since you want to polish and polish, Zhuangzi is useless, so where does Zhuangtou dare to be too harsh and restrain them, maybe it will let them go and promote their bad habits......"

Qin Xiuyi frowned slightly, turned to look at his eldest son, and said, "Do you have a better way?" ”

Qiu Chen was slightly stunned, and then relaxed, Qin Zheng was willing to open his mouth and refuse the best for her. If the same thing happens, it doesn't hurt for Qin Zheng to say it, but not for her daughter-in-law.

was hesitating, Qin Zheng, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke: "This method is not appropriate!" ”

The third Qin Yaofeng commented that it was okay, although the fourth and fifth were not as nonsense as the second Qin Cheng, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, they were also greedy for pleasure without learning or skill, and it is said that they also went out with people of the same age...... Such a person doesn't seem to be able to go to the field to endure hardships at all, give it to her, she is not a Buddha, she has the ability to suppress Sun Monkey, she really sent those two people to Zhuangzi, just refusing to endure hardship, if something happens, she can't explain!

Qiu Chen really didn't want to take these things in his heart, originally, there was an uneven gap between his sister-in-law and his concubine, Qin Zheng was outstanding in the Liang State Mansion, and even in the Liang clan, he was too prominent, and too envious, jealous and hateful, but those concubines were not very close to their eldest brother and sister-in-law...... Not to mention closeness, I don't even have the respect I usually have.

Qin Xiuyi didn't let her finish, waved her hand and interrupted her: "No need to ask, I can't help if they want to or not." If you don't study hard and make progress, you can't go through the imperial examination, and you have to learn to make a living...... Doing business is to be smart-minded, they are too generous is not that material, can only let them go to Zhuangzi to learn some crops and cultivate, in the future, do not seek great wealth, food and clothing can be safe! ”

Qiu Chen was named, and sighed secretly, it was not good to pretend to be virtuous anymore, so he had to raise his head and say with a smile: "Father's confession is a trust in his daughter-in-law, but the fourth brother and the fifth brother are ...... Have you asked them what they mean? If they don't want to ......"

Qin Zheng lowered his eyes, didn't look at it, and didn't mean to answer. Qiu Chen thought about it and lowered his eyes and ignored it, but Qin Xiuyi opened his mouth and called the name: "Eldest daughter-in-law, you don't have to be embarrassed, just send them to Zhuangzi and give them to someone who understands." Don't be afraid of them suffering...... It's nothing to endure hardship at this time, it's for their good! ”

Qin Xiuyi paused when she said this, and raised her eyes to look at Qin Zheng and Qiu Chen.

Therefore, Qiu Chen didn't plan to express her opinion at this time, she just wanted to be a virtuous and docile daughter-in-law, and a virtuous and docile daughter-in-law should not be involved at this time.

It's just that Qin Xiuyi took it out and said these things at this time, which always made Qiu Chen feel a little strange...... In this era, the father-in-law and his daughter-in-law discuss things too little, and they usually tell their son that it is enough for the daughter-in-law to get a notice in the end, and no one cares about the daughter-in-law's opinion.

These plans are really exhausted, and it can be seen that Qin Xiuyi is really planning for his sons, and he is not too ambitious, nor is he too demanding,...... It's just a 'subsistence'!

I heard Qin Xiuyi say again: "After the New Year, the officials will be promoted, and the third child can go to the exam, and he can get the best, although he is only a small official who is not in the stream, it is not a way to enter the body if he does it well." The fourth and fifth children have more flexible brains, well, I thought, can I put them on your Zhuangzi, follow the cultivation of the crops in the Zhuangzi, and do nothing else in the future, and having a Zhuangzi is enough for them to make a living. ”

Secretly widen your heart and listen quietly.

When Qin Xiuyi said this, she mentioned a few concubines as soon as she opened her mouth, whether it was the future of the concubines or the marriage, she couldn't interfere. Of course, she is not so capable, and she has no future for the three young masters.

Qiu Chen's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately calmed down.

opened his mouth and involuntarily mentioned the second child, but immediately waved his hand, as if waving something bad, Qin Xiuyi continued: "The third, the fourth, and the fifth are not young, although the three of them are not successful in studying, they are still generous......

Qin Xiuyi lowered her head and watched the hops in the cup calm down, then raised her eyes to look at Qin Zheng and Qiu Chen, and said, "Second child...... Don't talk about him! ”

Qin Xiuyi didn't let anyone, took the wine glass and dried it up, and the third aunt hurriedly stepped forward to fill it again.

The third aunt Xu, who has always been like a shadowless person, agreed gently, and in a moment she brought up two pots of hot Jinhua wine, and the little girl gave a pot to Qin Zheng and Qiu Chen's table, and the third aunt personally held the wine pot and poured it for Qin Xiuyi and Li.

Qin Xiuyi seemed to quickly fold his feelings, waved his hand, and ordered: "Exchange the hot Jinhua wine!" ”

Qiu Chen didn't plan to go out to get cold, but because of the weird atmosphere, she wanted to go out to avoid it, but now that Qin Xiuyi said this, she couldn't say anything more, so she had to sit down again with Brother Yun in her arms.

Qin Xiuyi supported his head with his hands, and after listening to Qiu Chen's words, he reluctantly raised his head, waved his hand and said, "It's still early, don't worry, you sit down, I have something to tell you!" ”

Qiu Chen smiled reluctantly, and said to the Li family and Qin Xiuyi: "It's about to be the time to be a child, and my daughter-in-law will also take Brother Yun to see the fireworks!" ”

Qin Zheng nodded silently.

Qiu Chen patted Brother Yun'er on the back and soothed, turned his eyes to look at Qin Zheng, and said in a low voice: "It's almost time, let's go see the fireworks ...... too."

The atmosphere in the room was condensed and depressing, and Brother Yun squeezed into Qiu Chen's arms, hugging Qiu Chen's neck tightly, looking for a sense of security.

Qin Xiuyi sat back and sighed long, feeling sad and sad, as if she had aged a lot all of a sudden. The Li family also had an extremely ugly face, and he didn't care about Qin Xiuyi......

Qin Zheng lowered his head, his face was tense, he couldn't see his joy or anger, and he didn't say a word.

Qin Cheng carried it down, but the previous cheerful and festive atmosphere of the New Year was destroyed, and in the huge hall, it was clear that the fire was still burning very strongly, but it was suddenly cold.

Somehow, Qin Cheng's cry was soon inaudible when he went out of the door, and Qiu Chen had already walked over and hugged Brother Yun'er, who was blinking and looking nervous.

Sun's Qian didn't dare to delay, so he called two rough mothers-in-law, rushed up, some raised their arms and some raised their legs, picked up Qin Cheng and carried them out.

"Drag him back, drag him back!" Qin Xiuyi gritted his teeth and commanded.

Qin Xiu's anger almost exploded, and Li's face was also pale, just holding the handkerchief in his hand and glaring fiercely at Qin Cheng, who was crying.

As he spoke, sorrow came from it, Qin Cheng actually threw himself on the desk, hugged his head and cried.

"Ma'am? Which lady? Qin Cheng waved his hand indiscriminately and said, "Madame is not my mother's mother, and the lady in front and the wife in the future are not my mother's mother...... My mother is gone, I keep the New Year, and my mother can't come back...... It's all because I'm not filial, and my mother didn't keep the New Year's ...... when she was alive."

Mama Qian and Mama Sun were stunned with their hands, and the other mother-in-law hurriedly said: "The second master's filial wife knows, the second master has drunk too much, so let's go back and rest......"

"Hmm, okay, go back ......" Qin Cheng staggered and stood up, took one step and two steps back, and seemed to be suddenly sober, sat back with a puff, waved his hand and shook his head again and again...... The master will not go, and the master wants his mother to live a long life...... If you don't go back, you still have to keep the New Year......"

"Second master, you are drunk, the slaves and maids will send you back to rest......" Grandma Sun hurriedly replied.

"Well, what?" Qin Cheng asked with his tongue wide and his eyes rolled indistinctly.

"Second master, second master......" Sun called carefully.

Mama Sun and Mama Qian, who were waiting on the side, hurriedly commanded the two mothers-in-law to come forward, wanting to help Qin Cheng leave.

"Have a few drinks...... He just doesn't drink, when did he understand......" Qin Xiuyi said angrily, and when he saw his eldest daughter-in-law and the little grandson beside him, he forcibly suppressed his anger, and only waved his hand with disgust, and ordered, "Ask someone to send him back, send him back!" ”

The Li family originally wanted to see the excitement, but seeing that Qin Xiuyi was really angry, he hurriedly stretched out his hand and pulled him, and whispered comfortingly: "The New Year's ...... Just a few more drinks......"

"Dick!" Qin Xiuyi stood up suddenly, and was about to come to Qin Cheng's side.

Qin Cheng couldn't tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest anymore, he didn't hear it at all, or he didn't pay attention to it at all, and he still held the wine glass and put it in his mouth.

"Dick!" Qin Xiuyi screamed.

Qin Xiuyi's eyes watched the backs of his sons disappear outside the door, his expression stretched and satisfied, and he turned back to catch a glimpse of Qin Cheng, who was almost lying on the desk like mud, but still holding a wine glass in his hand, a wave of annoyance couldn't help but rush up, his brows only furrowed, and his face turned cold.

In the blink of an eye, most of the people in the room left, leaving only Qin Xiuyi, Li Shi, Qin Zheng, Qiu Chen, and Qin Cheng, who was alone and didn't let go of the wine glass all night.

Qin Yun and Qin Lu rarely let Qin Xiuyi take a look, and after saying these few words, he couldn't hide the excitement and joy on his face, and he hurriedly bowed down and retreated, wanting to go out with him. Several maids also took advantage of these words to get up and follow.

The fourth Qin Yun and the fifth Qin Lu also looked at a few people with some envy, Qin Xiuyi saw it in a blink of an eye, and simply smiled and waved his hand: "You can go if you want, get dressed." Watching people put the tubes, boxes, and flowers in place, it's time to set off fireworks after a while! ”

Qin Hao gave up his hand with a happy face, and turned around happily to follow Qin Yao and the two children.

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Qin Xiuyi: "Go, go, get dressed, take care of the two children, hide from some sparks, don't splash on your body!" ”

Li Shi was silent just now, but at this time he hurriedly said: "It's very cold outside......"

Seeing Qin Yao take Ah Fu Aman one by one, say goodbye to Qin Xiuyi and the Li family, and go out together, the sixth master Qin Hao also stood up and said with a smile: "I will also go with my nephews and nieces!" ”

Qin Yao arched his hand and smiled: "Sister-in-law, don't worry!" ”

Thinking about Qin Yao's sibling sister Yixuan Yiheng, Qiu Chen also agreed, seeing that Qin Yao only wore an orangutan felt cloak, not even a big sweater, he hurriedly ordered Chengying to prepare a hand stove for Qin Yao, and asked with a smile: "The third brother will come back after playing with them for a while, don't be willful!" ”

"Sister-in-law doesn't have to be polite, my younger brother has already eaten, and he is not good at drinking, so he took the children out to put flowers...... You can take care of it, too! Qin Yao had a gentle smile on his face, and he spoke softly and slowly, with a bookish temperament, which was not offensive.

Qiu Chen was slightly stunned, raised his head and smiled: "Why bother the third brother......

Qin Yao got up with a gentle smile and arched his hand: "Sister-in-law, my brother should take the two children!" ”

Qiu Chen looked at his daughter who was happy again, and he couldn't bear to detain her, so he hurriedly took care of her clothes and hats and put them on, and asked Ah Fu Aman to go and say goodbye to Qin Xiuyi and Li, and then instructed carefully and uneasily.

The third son, Qin Yao, sat beside Qin Cheng. Ah Man was busy eating something, so he reported to Qiu Chen that he was full and wanted to go out with his brother to put flowers.

Not long after he sat down, Qin Xiuyi asked Brother Yun over, hugged Brother Yun and sat on his lap, Brother Yun was very dear, and he was very happy to talk to Qin Xiuyi, which made Qin Xiuyi laugh from time to time.

Aman was happy again, and turned his head uncontrollably to look outside, and Ah Fu calmed down for a while before he obediently sat down to eat. She was uncomfortable just now, and she didn't eat much. However, at this time, she was in a good mood, and she wanted to hurry up to put flowers, so she naturally felt hungry, so she quickly ate well, so she could tell her father and mother to go out to play.

Ah Fu smiled and raised his hand to comb his sister's sideburns, nodded and said, "Yuanhong is waiting outside...... There's fire everywhere in this house, where can I bring that one in! ”

Ah Man's eyes lit up, and he raised his eyes to look at Ah Man and said, "Brother, did you bring that?" Where, I'll see, show me! ”

Ah Fu turned his head to look at his sister, and said with a smile: "Sister Yu'er is weak, not to mention frightened, even if she can't usually put flowers with us...... Later, my brother will take you to put flowers, and the hand flower in your hand, you love that one the most. ”

Aman nodded obediently, but the disappointment on his face was undisguised.

Hugging Aman, Qiu Chen said in a low voice: "Wasn't Sister Yu scared just now?" I guess I'm asleep by now, and I can't bother her anymore. Wait...... When you have another chance, you can watch the fireworks with Sister Yu'er. ”

In that case, Mrs. Li would be unhappy at first.

Stunned, Qiu Chen subconsciously raised his eyes to look at Qin Zheng, and saw that he was looking up to talk to Qin Xiuyi, who was in his hand, and couldn't help but shake his head secretly. Qin Zheng didn't know what had just happened, she couldn't tell him clearly at this moment, and naturally she couldn't get him to pay any attention...... Besides, even if he came up with an idea, Qin Zheng must have said that he wanted Sister Yu to send someone to pick it up. I don't think about the thoughts of the women in the inner courtyard at all.

Just now because of Aman, the Tian family was punished to copy the female precepts, and she couldn't say anything at this time......

The child is innocent, Sister Yu'er looks thin and timid, and she likes it very much. Aman has a big mind, and the child's heart is also simple, no matter what the adults are, they still care about Sister Yu very much. But when it comes to Qin Cheng and Tian's family, things are not so simple.

Qiu Chen was stunned for a moment, and then frowned.

For the first time, Aman stumbled, "Mother...... That one...... Fireworks will be set off in a moment...... That, Sister Yu, I like to watch fireworks the most......"

"What's wrong?" Qiu Chen lowered his head and asked.

Aman took off his shoes, knelt in the middle of the low couch next to Qin Zheng, turned his eyes to look at the second uncle next to him, turned back to look at Qiu Chen again, puffed out his little cheeks for a while, and pulled the corners of Qiu Chen's clothes.

Tian doesn't know what to do, but he still has a cheeky face. This Qin Cheng only knows how to spend all his time, gamble and prostitute unruly, and be a dirty and muddy person, who has no face at all, Qiu Chen really didn't bother to pay attention to him, just nodded slightly, and then put Brother Afu and Amanyun on the low couch, and followed Qin Zheng into the seat.

"Uh......" Qin Cheng's face stiffened, choked, and then said lazily, "The eldest sister-in-law is like a mother...... Hehe, yes, yes, the eldest brother taught me that it was the younger brother who drank and collided, sister-in-law, there are a lot of adults, please bear with me! ”

Qin Zheng's face turned cold, and he said, "Do you still know that it is the eldest sister-in-law, the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, and she is so presumptuous in her words?" Have you read all the books in the dog's belly for more than ten years? ”

In this day and age, being considerate of a wife is not a good reputation. If it's good, it's a fear of guilt, and if it's not good, it's said that there is no manhood, and the husband is sluggish!

Qin Cheng's face was red, with obvious alcoholism, living alone in Qin Zheng's hands, watching Qin Zheng hug the child, shaking the folding fan in his hand and laughing: "It's a blessing that my sister-in-law can be so considerate of my eldest brother!" ”

Qin Zheng turned his head to look at Qiu Chen suspiciously, Qiu Chen shook his head with two looks, and Qin Zheng didn't ask any more.

Aman shook his head, looked up and smiled at Qin Zheng, then lowered his head again and was silent.

After walking a few steps, Qin Zheng looked down at Ah Man, who was too quiet and lost his usual cheerfulness, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" Is Man'er sleepy? ”

Qin Zheng and Ah Fu were already sitting on the first low couch on their left hand, and saw Qiu Chen leading one to hold one and come out from behind, the two of them got up together to meet him, Qin Zheng reached out to take Brother Yun'er and hugged him, and then stretched out his hand to hold Ah Man. Ah Fu stretched out his hand and took his mother, and followed behind.

The men's seats in the front hall also dispersed, and the masters, young masters, and young masters also came from the front, and the real family gathered in one place. Qin Xiuyi and Mrs. Li naturally sat on the big Arhat couch on the top position, and the big room and the second room were located on the low couch at the bottom, and the other concubines and concubines were all two people on a low couch. At this time, the family was keeping vigil, and the aunts were not in a good position, except for the third aunt Xu, who wanted Zhang Luo to serve, the others had already returned to their respective residences.

Mrs. Li didn't pay attention to it, Qiu Chen didn't interfere, and her third aunt and grandmother Xu and Mama Qian and grandma Sun commanded the big and small mothers-in-law and girls, and quickly removed the leftovers. Qiu Chen took Brother Aman Yun to the back room to wash his hands and came back, the hall had been cleaned, and it was rearranged, arranged into the appearance of the hospitality hall, and a couch was installed on the big arhat couch with marble inlaid with marble mountain and sea charts on the upper hand, and the double low couch with the same water on both sides of the red sandalwood drum tooth inlaid with marble, the low table was placed in front, and the cold dishes and cups had been arranged on the couch and the small table of the couch, the big smoke cage at the four corners and the fire dragon on the soles of the feet were burning, although the hall was not full of people, but it was warm.

Soon, hot and cold cups and saucers flowed up, nothing happened, lively and festive Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, each family had to go back to celebrate the New Year, no one delayed, only an hour before and after, and then dispersed.

Several old ladies are all old and sophisticated characters, and when they heard Mrs. Li's words, they picked up good things to cover up their shame, and immediately changed the topic. Qiu Chen soon stopped holding on, and still talked with the old ladies with a smile. Aman lost his initial joy and excitement, and it was rare to see a smile on his little face all night.
