Chapter 65: The Winter Solstice

Fu Xiuyun said that he didn't know the road very well, and Lan Xi didn't know how to react, but silently handed his gaze to Changtai. Cousin www.biquge.info the pen "Fun", even if you don't know the way, what is the use of the little guy you bring?

Changtai said he was innocent. My grandfather not only doesn't know the way, but he also has a good face! You dare to tell him, Master, you are wrong! He dares to rush with you! Otherwise, his uncle brought a bunch of entourages and wanted to go to the drunken incense building in the north of the city, but he walked around the south of the city, what should you be for?

Fu Xiuyun's face was flat, and he suddenly became serious, but he no longer looked at Lanxi, "Cousin, I went to Suzhou Mansion with my cousin and cousin two days ago, and brought some gadgets, I originally wanted to ask my aunt to transfer them on my behalf, but now that I met my cousin, I gave it to you together, which is not bad." And this ......"

"Song family girl!" Lan Xi reminded lightly.

Fu Xiuyun didn't have a trace of embarrassment on his face, "Miss Song, when we meet for the first time, this gadget is not worth it, let's play with it!" ”

After the words fell, Changtai had already presented two brocade boxes with great eyes. Lan Xi didn't refuse, Song Yunyun looked at her, she nodded lightly, so the maid of the two stepped forward to take the brocade box, and the two thanked Fu Xiuyun again.

Fu Xiuyun nodded, and then turned around and left with Changtai.

A hint of cunning flashed in Lan Xi's eyes, and he raised his voice and asked, "Where is my cousin?" Not afraid of making a mistake? ”

Fu Xiuyun stumbled under his feet and almost fell, Changtai hurriedly supported him, he shook off Changtai's supporting hand, strode out, walked fast and urgently, and never looked back.

Lan Xi and Song Yunyun couldn't help laughing anymore, leaning forward and backward with a smile, fortunately no one saw it, otherwise they would have scolded the two for being unruly and unmannered.

Later, Liuyan brought news that the old lady had attacked Miss Lan Liu for some reason, and punished her with a one-month grounding, and she didn't even have to go to school. Lan Xi knew what it was for, thinking about it for a month, a month, and when Lan Yun's grounding was lifted, her cousin would have returned to Beijing a long time ago, right? While secretly admiring that the old lady was still not old, Lan Xi just thought that Lan Yun was afraid that she would think that she had told the secret, and then hate her, right? But she really doesn't care, it's just ...... You don't have to go to school on a cold day, you don't have to worry about taking exams, and you can stay in a warm room and do whatever you want, Lan Xi said...... It's very envious, jealous and hateful.

The weather was getting colder and colder, and soon, the winter solstice arrived.

As the saying goes, on the first day of October, the winter solstice arrives, and every household eats dumplings.

Although the ancestors of Qingyang Lan's family live in the south of the Yangtze River, the big long house has been rooted in the capital for several generations, and almost all of Lanxi's generation were born in the capital and grew up in the capital. Therefore, on the day of the winter solstice, the whole Lanfu came according to the rules of the Northland.

It is said that the winter solstice is as big as the year. This study, naturally, is not necessary, just this one, so that the brothers and sisters are happy. Dinner was served in the old lady's Songquan Temple, which was the same as the third lady's birthday, because they were all from their own family, so they were not separated, and the old and the young, men and women, gathered together. When the little ones saw the steaming mutton pot on the table, all kinds of fresh meat, vegetables, and dumplings with complete fillings, beef and cabbage, pork and celery, leeks and eggs, three fresh shrimps, and vegetarian fillings, they all cheered.

The old lady looked at it, Coke, the children and grandchildren in this room are neat and tidy, lively and lively, can she not be happy? When he waved his hand, he said, "That's it! Don't be restricted, once a year, what you like to eat, you will open up to eat. The old man was also eating and watching at the offering table, and he was happy to see that you were eating happily! ”

A room of children, grandchildren, daughters-in-law and children naturally laughed in unison, for a while, the room was quiet, food was silent, sleep silent, and occasionally only heard the sound of cups and saucers sitting. After a while, several girls in the Songquan courtyard took wine jugs and sent them to each table, and the treasure bottle served in front of the old lady, pouring a glass for the old lady. The old lady raised the small and delicate white jade cup and said, "We have not had this in the capital in previous years, the first two years of heavy filial piety in the body, this festival and the year, are just a scene, now it is only a few months to get rid of the service, your father, grandfather is the most transparent person, you are happy is the greatest filial piety to him." So, we all have to drink this glass of wine today! ”

"Grandmother, can my ninth sister and I drink it too? Don't you always say that we are too young to drink? Lan Ying blinked and asked.

The old lady was happy, "You can drink it today!" However, Sister Ying and Sister Qin are indeed still young, so they can only taste it! ”

Lan Ying felt new and happy at the moment, smiled and clapped her hands, the maid on the side poured a small cup for the eighth girl with great eyes, Lan Ying looked down, but was suspicious, "Huh? Grandmother, how is this wine milky, like cow's milk? It's not the same as what my father drinks on weekdays! ”

"Yes! Old lady, what is the meaning of this wine? The waiters at each table poured wine for the people at the table, and Fu Xiuyun looked at the contents of the cup, which was also a strange way.

The old lady smiled and said nothing, and the eldest man over there already smiled and said, "The virtuous nephew doesn't know!" Our Suzhou Prefecture has a custom of drinking winter wine on the night of the winter solstice. In the end, this winter wine is only rice wine, but mixed with some osmanthus to brew together, drink a cup on the night of the winter solstice, warm people's hearts, pleasant aroma, can remove filth, but also pray! ”

Those juniors who didn't know the allusions listened to it, and they all nodded their heads to indicate that they were taught. Fu Xiuyun even bowed his hand and said, "Thank you Shibo for teaching!" After the words fell, he raised the white jade wine glass to the end of his nose, sniffed it gently, and a light aroma of wine poured into his nose, but when he sniffed it, he felt slightly drunk, and couldn't help but praise, "It's really fragrant and refreshing!" This time I went south, I don't know how many customs and people I have seen, and what I have seen and learned is something that I will never see or learn in the capital for a long time, so it is really worth the trip! ”

"The ancients said that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books, and with this well-informed saying, he naturally has his reason! At a young age, the virtuous nephew can have this kind of bearing and knowledge, which is already extraordinary, and the future in the future will definitely be limitless. The eldest man stroked his beard and praised.

Fu Xiuyun naturally modestly went straight and didn't dare.

The third old man on the side smiled and was silent, brewed a cup of his own wine, and his half-lowered eyes covered the deep thought in his eyes.

On the women's table over there, Lan Ying couldn't wait to take a sip of wine, and praised, "Wow! It's fragrant and sweet, and it's strange that it's different from the horse urine that my father drinks on weekdays! ”

When everyone heard this fairy tale, they were stunned at first, and after reacting, they couldn't help laughing, and their meaningful eyes fell on the big man who smiled awkwardly and persuaded everyone to drink, and the big lady who patted her daughter with a red face.

Why do you have this kind of way? It turns out that this big man loves the things in this cup on weekdays, and the filial piety has been restrained a lot, and occasionally he is greedy and secretly drinks a sip, and he always has to be trained by the eldest wife, and the word "horse urine" is often brought out between words, which is not a secret in the house, and now it is said by his own daughter, but it has caused his brothers and sisters, and even nephews and nieces to laugh once, and the eldest wife is naturally annoyed.

"It's good to have a daughter Chenghuan on her knees, I, I really envy my sister-in-law!"
