Wang Liu smiled and said, "I'll tell you a great good thing." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Ban'er put down the rod with a smile, wiped his hands and said, "What kind of good thing is it, let you say it like this, is it possible that pie will fall from the sky?" ”
Wang Liu laughed out loud, slapped him crisply and said, "Isn't it pie in the sky?" As he spoke, he whispered into his ear, "Our young girl's house is here, and she has brought a distinguished guest." ”
Ban'er Fox asked, "Who is it?" ”
Wang Liu said: "It's the Qiao girl from Jiafu, the daughter of the second grandmother that my mother often talks about, and the one she gave the name." You didn't see it, it's really a fairy-like character, and I was dazzled when I opened the door. ”
Ban'er laughed for a while, bluntly said that her hair was long and her knowledge was short, and said: "Since you have a distinguished guest, why don't you take care of it at home, what are you looking for me to do?" ”
Wang Liu said with a smile: "It was my mother who asked me to come to you, saying that she asked you to take some silver to buy some wine and food, the girl only came to our house once in a few years, and we should be treated as a good hospitality." I'm a woman, and I don't know the rules here, so you can do it. ”
After that, he took a piece of broken silver from his sleeve, tucked away the twenty taels that Qing'er gave her, handed the broken silver to Ban'er and said: "It's about eight dollars here, enough to hold a banquet. A pound of pork is only 20 yuan, and it is the weather in March, so the new bamboo shoots should come up, with a few dollars and a few taels, you can buy some, add a goose, and make a dish of roasted bamboo shoots and goose, which is not greasy and crispy. Then go to the market to take a look, there are butter muffins, fruit filling cold cakes also buy some, you weigh the rest, enough five-color fruit and five dishes to set a table, it is enough. ”
The dog took the money and went with a smile, and Wang Liu took advantage of this time to take care of the pond for him while going to find the board. It's also a coincidence, she was watching, Ban'er drove a group of sheep back from outside Zhuangzi, Feng Daxi's family said that Wang Liu came here, Ban'er smiled and asked Feng Auntie, and drove the sheep to Wang Liu's eyes, before standing in the sheep pile, waving the whip and shouting: "Auntie, Feng Auntie said that you came to Daddy, but have you ever found him?" ”
Wang Liu smiled: "Your father is busy, I am looking for you for something." ”
Ban'er sighed, pinned the whip to the belt behind him, clapped his hands and blasted the sheep over, walked up to Wang Liu and asked with a smile: "What is A-Niang looking for me?" But what did Grandma say in your ear again, and you came here? ”
Wang Liu couldn't help but smile at his forehead when he saw him come over, and said angrily: "Why did your grandma say you again, it's just that you are doing your own thing, and you still have so many ghost thoughts." My mother came to you, I have something to tell you, our family has a room of distinguished guests, and now I am sitting in my grandmother's room to do homework, you will go to the house for a while, and you are not allowed to be reckless when you see her. ”
Ban'er became more and more weird, and said with a smile: "Who is here, but let A-Niang bluff you like this?" ”
Wang Liu looked left and right, and when he saw no one, Fang said: "Mother told you, just remember it, don't go outside." It was the Qiao girl from Jiafu who came, because her mother had just gone, and she was sad to see things in that house, so she came to our house to live for a few days, and she came to relax. Grandma and the young girl are sensible, but they will not lose their manners, although you and I have never seen the world, but we also know the truth of sincere hospitality. Only you, a monkey-like person, really don't let me and my grandma worry. I heard my grandmother say, you have met for two hours, and you have been to her house for a few days, so you naturally know the rules of her house, and say hello to her when you meet, if she still remembers you, it is your great creation. ”
Ban'er stroked his palms and laughed, and said, "Who should I be, it turned out to be that Miss Jiao." At that time, I went to her house, and I stayed for three days, but two days saw that she was sick, and now she must be better, and she can go far away. Don't worry, Niang, I just treat her as Miss Du, where is the reason to collide with her? ”
Wang Liu also smiled: "Don't talk about Miss Du, it's our little boy Zhou here, it's not as good as her, you just have to be more careful." I don't think that Qiao girl is a big person, and she looks good, and I don't know who will be blessed to marry in the future. ”
Ban'er smiled silently, went over there and Feng Daxi checked the flock, squatted by the pond and washed his face, then walked ashore to wipe his hands, and followed Wang Liu home.
When the young children in the family saw that the sun was in the middle of the day, it was already time to make lunch, so they left Sister Qiao to talk to their grandmother in the house, and walked alone to the gray shed to add firewood and boil water. Hearing a crackling sound outside the door, he hurriedly asked, "Who is it?" ”
Ban'er responded outside: "It's me, your brother Ban'er, open the door." ”
Qing'er was overjoyed when she heard this, she didn't care that she was still holding a melon scoop of water in her hand, so she hurriedly walked to the door, opened the door and said with a smile: "Brother, have you seen A-Niang?" Did she tell you that she had a guest at home? ”
Ban'er smiled and pushed her into the door, covered the door and turned around and said: "Say, A-Niang will come in a while, let me come to the house first to take a look, if there is enough firewood for the fire, if it is not enough, I will chop some more." ”
Qing'er said: "I just saw it, the fire is enough, and you don't have to be busy chopping wood." It's you, don't stand here stupidly, Miss Qiao is sitting in Grandma's house, you go and say hello to her. ”
Ban'er laughed dryly, but was a little uncomfortable: "Don't panic and let me go to see her, I didn't let her see the joke like this, I just came back from herding the sheep, and I smelled of sheep, let me go and change my clothes." After that, he quietly went into his house along the wall, and after a long time of picking, he turned out a half-new variegated collar and put it on, and searched under the bed again, and then found a square flat scarf from the foot of the bed, dusted off the floating dust with his hands, and put it on his head intuitively without knowing how high or low, and then opened the door to go to his grandmother's house.
Or humane, this board is just grown up in the countryside, in the early years, maybe followed Grandma Liu into the Grand View Garden, gained a lot of knowledge, and now after so many years, how can I understand the rules more and more? Look at the official, the capital is close to Zhu is red and close to the ink black, although this board does not know a few big characters, it has to be helped by the Zhou Yuan Zhuangzi for the sake of the help of the Zhou Yuanwai Zhuangzi, often outside the staff or rise, occasionally with the Qing guest to enjoy the scenery in the manor, every word and deed, every move, all in line with the Confucian saying 'virtue is like jade', always to the jade tentacles warm, glorious and introverted as the requirements of self-reflection, and there are gentlemen should be tolerant like the sea, treat people and people, and behave calmly.
Therefore, although Ban'er is a commoner, Yu Lirong's gift is also quite knowing, and at this moment he is going to see the young lady of Surijia Mansion, as Wang Liu said, he really remembers some things about the visit to the Grand View Garden, and knows that the big family is the most important of these rules. I was a little apprehensive in my heart, and when I got to the curtain, I didn't know how to get in, so I stood still. I only heard a few whispers coming from inside the curtain, not like my grandmother's voice on weekdays, it must be Sister Qiao'er talking.
Probably young, Ban'er only felt that although the voice was low, it was extremely touching in the ears, really like a yellow warbler out of the valley. Sister Qiao in the curtain didn't know that the outside head board had arrived, and she was still gossiping with her grandmother, and when she said that Daiyu went, Xiangyun married far away, and cherished the spring to bring out the house, Grandma Liu cried once, and couldn't help but sigh: "The fourth aunt that my sister said is the girl who is good at painting?" At that time, I also said that several girls in your family were all from the heavens, where are ordinary people blessed to see them, and now it can be seen that they have returned to heaven. It's just such a fourth girl right now, when I went to your house to play at that time, she was still childish, hiding in the arms of the wives and letting her rub her belly, but now she is going to serve the Buddha, Amitabha, what's going on. As he spoke, he shed two more lines of old tears and hurriedly wiped them with his sleeves.
Sister Qiao was also hurt, but thinking that the Daiyu Qingwen and others she saw at that time were better than at home, she restrained her thoughts, and instead comforted Grandma Liu and said: "Grandma, don't be sad, aunts naturally have their place, it is the will of God, and it is not determined." Besides, our family is in such a difficult situation, and they can return with their innocence, which can be regarded as their own place. ”
Seeing her say this, Grandma Liu secretly stopped her tears and nodded silently.
Ban'er listened to it outside in a daze, not alerting that Wang Liu had returned home, and carefully watched how Qing'er boiled water and cooked rice in front of the door, so he dusted off the folds of his clothes and went straight to the main room. Suddenly looked up and saw a person standing outside the green cloth curtain, his intuition was startled, and when he saw who it was, he stroked his chest and stepped forward, stretched out his hand to push the board and scolded: "What a good thing, what are you doing standing here?" Why don't you go in? ”
Ban'er was also startled, and hurriedly turned around and waved his hand to signal Wang Liu's silence. Wang Liu, who was watching, didn't know what he meant, slapped him again, glared and said, "Didn't you do something bad again?" Have you seen Miss Qiao, or have you rushed into her? ”
Ban'er shook his head helplessly, but said nothing. His mother and son spoke earnestly outside, and they didn't want Sister Qiao'er to hear it faintly inside, because they realized that it was a man's voice, but they didn't know who it was. looked around at grandma's house, and there was no way to avoid it, so I had to sit next to my grandma and whispered: "Grandma, listen, is someone coming?" ”
Grandma Liu has been getting older and older over the years, and her ears are not as bright as before, and at this moment, she heard Sister Qiao'er talking in her ear, so she raised her voice: "Who is talking there, and you don't come in?" ”
When Wang Liu asked, he knew that Grandma Liu and the others had heard the movement, and no matter what Ban'er thought, he pushed him in, and said with a smile: "Mom, it's Ban'er who is back, I'll ask him to say hello to the girl." ”
