April has seen the bottom, and seeing that the Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, all rooms and courtyards are making preparations.

The Du family attaches great importance to the Dragon Boat Festival.

Ancestor Fang's family, when he was alive, his favorite food was zongzi, Du Gongfu was a filial son, in the past, every Dragon Boat Festival, he washed glutinous rice and wrapped zongzi by hand, and personally steamed it and sent it to Fang's ancestor.

Du Gongfu did this, and his sons and daughters-in-law did not dare to be lazy, and they followed suit.

After the death of Old Ancestor Fang, Du Gongfu and Mrs. Xia no longer made zongzi by themselves, but the Huaizi generation and the Yunzi generation still did so.

In Lianfu Garden, Miao asked someone to send a black lacquer food box and said, "Old lady, this is the uncle and sister-in-law brought back." The person who sent it said that the sister-in-law was afraid of delays on the road and specially asked him to travel a few days early, so he arrived earlier. ”

I heard that it was sent back by the eldest son, Mrs. Xia smiled happily, asked Mama Xu to take it, opened it and saw that there were ten zongzi in the double-layer food box, which were not big, and they were wrapped with red and black cotton threads, and they were neatly arranged.

"This lotus leaf still has a fragrance," Mrs. Xia nodded with satisfaction, "Do you have a letter back?" ”

When Miao heard this, he sent the envelope.

Old Mrs. Xia was old, and she was afraid of bothering her eyes, so she said, "Yunnuo, you read it to your grandmother." ”

Du Yunnuo thought that Mrs. Xia would call Du Yunluo, and when she heard her name, she was slightly stunned, and quickly came back to her senses and responded with a smile.

stepped forward to take the letter, Du Yunnuo glanced at Du Yunying and Du Yunluo happily, and saw that the two of them looked as usual, and snorted in his heart: Pretend!

Unwrapping the fire paint, Du Yunnuo took out the letter paper, and his eyes fell on the clean and neat handwriting.

This seems to be Yang's handwriting.

Du Yunnuo read softly.

This letter was written in an extremely regular manner, first wishing his parents good health, feeling guilty about not being able to fulfill his filial piety by his side, and then wishing his peers and younger generations, before talking about their affairs in Lingdong.

The ten zongzi were made by Du Huairang and Yang with their sons, daughters, and daughters-in-law, Du Gongfu preferred sweetness and used jujube filling, while Mrs. Xia liked fresh meat, and also wrapped five of them, and used cotton threads of different colors to distinguish them.

"Grandmother, the red ones are jujubes, the black ones are fresh meat, and the aunt is really careful." Du Yunnuo said with a smile.

Mrs. Xia is also happy, what gold and silver are good, where can they compare to the children and grandchildren who make their own hands, no matter what stuffing, the food has a taste.

"Keep reading, what else did you say?" Old Lady Xia urged.

Du Yunnuo looked down a few lines and said in surprise: "Oh, it's all a happy event, grandmother, I'll read it to you." ”

According to the letter, Du Huairang's tenure in Lingdong is also smooth, and there are constant happy events at home.

Du Yuntao's daughter-in-law Yan has been in the door for more than a year, and she was diagnosed with a happy pulse half a month ago.

And Du Yunhu half a year ago and after Xu, the in-laws who said two years earlier had already calculated the days, and the ceremony was set on May 18, and they would marry at the beginning of spring next year.

"Grandmother, I'm going to be an aunt, and my sister-in-law is going to add a little nephew to us," Du Yunnuo looked happy, and said, "The eldest sister will be out of the cabinet in the autumn, and the second sister will be next spring, but it's really fast, I, close my eyes and think about it, it's still a thing we played around with when we were children." ”

After speaking, Du Yunnuo glanced at Du Yunying deeply.

Sure enough, seeing Du Yunying's cherry lips pursed, Du Yunnuo giggled, and she knew that no matter how calm Du Yunying was, she couldn't help it.

"The old woman closed her eyes and thought, you are all still glutinous rice dumplings! Haha, that's all a good thing! Mrs. Xia didn't notice anything unusual, her smile became stronger, at this age, what she likes most is that the incense is prosperous, and the girls can find a good relationship, "Yunhu's in-laws are Shen Xiu's family, right?" ”

Liao listened to it with relish, and Du Yunnuo made Mrs. Xia happy with the family letter from the long house, and she also felt that she had face.

Besides, the relationship between the Liao family and the Yang family is good, and the long house is in Lingdong, so there is no friction with her in plain life, and she is still happy when she sees that their family is good.

Seeing that Mrs. Xia asked, Liao squinted her eyes and said with a smile: "What the old lady said is that it is the local Shen family in Lingdong." Our second girl is the second lang who was assigned to the Shen family's room, and she is the younger brother of Shen Bianxiu. ”

At this mention, Mrs. Xia remembered it clearly, and nodded again and again: "So I said, Huairang's daughter-in-law's eyes are amazing, when I heard that it was the Shen family, you couldn't say it well, so Huairang's daughter-in-law gritted her teeth and settled the family matter, now what?" ”

Speaking of this old incident, even Du Yunluo had some impressions.

The Shen family is a family in Lingdong, but it is also a fallen family, and they have sold their land and houses over the years, leaving only a few books that can't be piled up in a few rooms.

Even Du Huairang said that if it weren't for the few scholars left by the Du family who were still aura, the Du family would have become a bunch of nerds sooner or later.

When the two families discussed marriage, most of the Du family shook their heads, and in the end, Du Gongfu said a fair word.

People who sell land and don't sell books can be seen to have some backbone, success or failure, don't let people think that we are snobbish.

This sentence became an arrow in the hands of the Yang family, saying that the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, don't bully the young man to be poor, and he made a decision alone, and even thought of a way to secretly help the Shen family, and let the Shen family go to Beijing to catch the exam.

When the Shen family entered Beijing, he came to Du Mansion to ask for peace, as a junior, the rules are inevitable, besides, in addition to learning and luck, the imperial examination also needs some connections, although Du Gongfu is not as good as in the past, but it is still the same sentence, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse.

The two families have already been engaged, and Mrs. Xia let go, and the relatives are not allowed to show some disdain and neglect.

Du Yunluo naturally didn't see the Shen family's eldest lang, but Du Gongfu liked it very much at first sight, and asked about the Du family's situation, knowing that the Du family's second lang was not very old, but his knowledge was better than that of his brother, and he couldn't help but be more and more satisfied.

On the day of the release of the list, the Shen family Dalang won the title of the gold list, got a second grade, and entered the Hanlin Academy as an editor.

The Shen family stayed in the capital, and never neglected the etiquette during the New Year's holidays, and the Liao family once told Mrs. Xia that the Lang was already excellent, and he didn't know how to be a younger brother.

Mrs. Xia was smiling, the Yang family could pick one by one, what else did she have to think about as an old woman?

"It's different now, the Shen family already has a jinshi, and when the new aunt makes a name for himself in the future, let's help a little, the second girl is also a serious official wife." Liao Shi followed Mrs. Xia's way.

"It's not so much that the Shen family's fortune has arrived, but that it's our Yunhu Wangfu," Zhen said, "The Shen family has been defeated for decades, and they have just been engaged to Yunhu, and they immediately came to work and jumped out of a jinshi. If you want me to say, it's all our Yunhu who is amazing. ”
