Chapter 069: The Red Lantern Hangs High
The room where everyone is located is divided into two rooms by a curtain, the outer room is the place where the ladies eat, and the inner room is a hot kang for Mrs. Song and other ladies to rest or chat after eating.
Hearing that the two cousins were talking about the happy place, the second aunt who had been listening to what the girl was saying came over, put a group of children on the hot kang located in the inner room, and pulled Song Nianzhi's sister and brother and Lu Yixuan, and asked the three of them to sit on the kang head quickly, saying that this hot kang is the best way to drive away the cold.
Song Ruixi, the second cousin who seems to be gentle, took the lead in climbing onto the kang. While pulling the lobby sister Song Hanyu to the kang, he beckoned to Song Rumu, the little cousin who met for the first time: "Xiao Mumu, come up, it's warm here." ”
"Little Mumu?" A new title made Song Rumu secretly raise her eyebrows and accept this kind nickname.
She had never seen a hot kang, and she had listened to her classmates discuss it in her previous life. I know that in ancient times, there was a custom of sleeping on the kang in the north, and if you sleep on this hot kang more often, it is very beneficial to patients with rheumatic symptoms. Touching her knees, which were still a little uncomfortable, Song Rumu glanced at the second aunt beside her, and saw that the second aunt was busy beckoning Lu Yixuan and Song Nianzhi to take off their shoes, and understood that this was prepared for them to kneel in the snow for a long time.
Song Rumu simply followed the example of the lobby sister Song Hanyu, stretched out her little hand to the second cousin Song Ruixi, and climbed onto the kang with the lobby sister, and the three of them laughed out loud because they were huddled together.
And later, sitting side by side against the wall with Song Nianzhi and Lu Yixuan, Song Rumu didn't feel much yet, but after only a few minutes, Song Rumu saw the huge power of the kang head in the north.
Seeing that the two cousins were sitting alive and didn't seem to care at all, Song Rumu naturally couldn't move around at will, and could only endure the scorching heat under him. But Song Nianzhi had already begun to twist his body, his little buttocks were slightly upturned, and half of his body lay on his sister Song Rumu; Lu Yixuan simply got up and prepared to sit on the other side of the road.
The second aunt watched the performance of the three of them, covered her mouth and snickered secretly. The two cousins on the side and a few junior cousins were also curious to watch the reactions of the three. It wasn't until Lu Yixuan got up that the second aunt instructed the girl to go to the tea fruit at the same time. Hurriedly stepped forward and smiled: "Little Marquis, don't move the place." You've been in the snow all the way back, and you've been cold in the snow for a long time, so it's good to sit here. ”
Lu Yixuan frowned when he heard this, as a northerner. He knew the so-called benefits better than Song Rumu and Song Nianzhi, but he really couldn't bear this feeling, so he touched his nose and didn't reply, so he walked to Song Ruixi's brother Song Yunting and sat down, and said to the second aunt: "I'm fine." I also bothered my aunt to take care of my junior brother and sister. ”
The second aunt persuaded Lu Yixuan not to move, and Lu Yixuan was just standing in the snow before, so she asked the girl to take a wool blanket to cover Lu Yixuan's knees, and then turned around and asked Song Rumu to stretch her legs, and called the other two girls to follow the kang head and rub them together.
Soon after, the heat of the kang head and the moderate rubbing of the two girls, all of Song Rumu's discomfort disappeared except for the uncomfortable scalding, and there were slight beads of sweat on the tip of her nose, and Song Nianzhi's face was also red. A thin layer of sweat hung from the tip of his nose. As a result, the already fair skin of the sister and brother is just like the summer lotus at this time, white and red, different.
"Mu'er and her younger brother thanked the second aunt!" After the two girls stepped back from the kang, and the other girl came forward with hot wipes to wipe the sweat for the two, Song Rumu smiled at the second aunt.
"What a polite young age, when you get home, you still see it like this, you really deserve to fight. I get along with your brothers and sisters, so I'll go to your courtyard to have a look...... Is the kang burning good, you still have to sleep on the hot kang for one night. Otherwise, if you fall into the root of the disease in the future, you will be guilty. After repeated instructions, the second aunt was waited by the girl to put on Maokan shoulders and put on a cloak. led two girls with lanterns out of the door.
While laughing with several brothers and sisters, Song Rumu secretly groped for this magical hot kang with her little hands, but she couldn't help but think about whether Song Han, who was accompanying guests in the front yard, was forced to eat and drink, and whether she had done too much hot compresses like them.
According to Song Rumu's thoughts, Song Han will definitely not be able to avoid eating and drinking today. After all, eating alcohol is the best way to ward off the cold in this era. And Song Rumu's idea was confirmed when the second aunt accompanied the eldest aunt to go and return.
The confirmed answer is: Song Han was already drunk, and Mrs. Song personally led someone to send him back to his residence.
It seemed that someone had grabbed her heart, but Song Rumu had to pretend to smile and listen to the two aunts tell the jokes at the banquet. After the old patriarch tasted the Longjing tea brought back by Song Han, in addition to praising it again and again, he also asked for a lot; The head of the South Street family was drunk this day and said a lot of things that should not be said; What North Street Song family is going to marry in a few days, and ask Song Han to preside over the ceremony.
After hearing too many of these not very funny words, coupled with the fatigue of the journey, Song Nianzhi soon began to yawn, and snuggled his little head into his sister Song Rumu in a sluggish spirit. And Song Han, who was drunk and drunk, Song Rumu took the opportunity to say politely to the two aunts who were chatting energetically: "The eldest aunt, the second aunt, my brother is sleepy, what can I do?" ”
"Hehe~ It turned out that it was so late, it was the eldest aunt who said that she had forgotten! Come on...... "The eldest aunt saw that the other children on the kang were dozing, so she ordered the people to take their little masters back to their respective houses.
"Come on, wake up! They all sat here for a while to be sober and sober, in case they went out and were blown cold by the wind. The second aunt was more enthusiastic than the eldest aunt.
"Thanks to the thoughtfulness of the second brother and sister, I, the eldest aunt, forgot that these children had just sweated, and they had to be cold for a while." The eldest aunt patted her knowing hands and sighed to the second aunt, who was particularly attentive and thoughtful today.
In this way, it was not until the time was almost up that Song Rumu was wrapped from beginning to end, and accompanied by the second aunt who took the initiative to invite Ying, she stepped on the creaking snow all the way to the courtyard where Song Han used to live.
In obvious contrast to the dimness of other courtyards where there was only a little light, in the courtyard where Song Han originally lived, a big red lantern was hung in front of almost every room.
The red lanterns, in the silvery white night sky under the white snow, swayed a graceful arc with the wind, making the originally cold and empty night look festive. And such a scene made Song Rumu instinctively think of the "Red Lantern Hanging High", and she thought that just to celebrate their return, is it necessary to hang so many red lanterns?
"Miss, young master, ......" In the shadow of the fiery red halo, Song Xiaosi and Song Xiaochuan trotted up to catch up, as if they wanted to say something to the Song sisters and brothers, but because of the presence of the second aunt, they immediately stopped.
"Little four, Xiao Chuan...... It's never too late to say more. My nephew and niece are sleepy right now, you should quickly let someone take them back to their own room to rest, the voice is quiet, you don't have to make noise with the people in the house", without waiting for Song Xiaosi and the two to speak, the second aunt interrupted with a smile.
"Yes", Song Xiaosi and the two saluted helplessly and replied.
"Miss?" Wearing a purple flower padded jacket, the tea language heard the sound of talking outside the house, so he opened the door and came out to check, and the timing just interrupted Song Rumu's train of thought.
"Okay, it's cold outside, let's hurry back to the house", the second aunt personally sent Song Nianzhi and Lu Yixuan back to the room after watching the tea fragrance and tea language take Song Rumu back to the house.
I kept thinking about the abnormality of Song Xiaosi and Song Xiaochuan, and Song Rumu didn't look closely after entering the room, so naturally she wouldn't notice that this room was similar to the room layout where she had eaten before. There are two rooms inside and outside, the outer room has a fire, and the inner room is a hot kang, and the two rooms are connected but separated by a curtain, because it is a new kang, the temperature is much warmer than the room just now.
"Tea language, when did my father come back, did he get drunk?" , Song Rumu, who was used to untying the cloak by herself, saw that Chayu was busy pouring tea in a small flower cotton jacket, and then realized why she felt wrong, because Song Xiaosi and Song Xiaochuan, who had been serving Song Han with them, did not serve Song Han in the house, so Song Rumu couldn't take care of untying the cloak, so she hurriedly asked.
"I was drunk, and about an hour ago, the old lady personally brought someone back. Before leaving, he also told us not to disturb the adults' rest, saying that even the fourth uncle couldn't disturb them", poured tea and sent it to Song Rumu, and then said Chayu.
"......", hearing this, Song Rumu's hand holding the tea trembled, and she finally realized that tonight was really a good day when the red lantern was hanging high, so after putting the tea on the table, Song Rumu got up suddenly.
"Miss, what's wrong with you?" Tea Yu and Tea Xiang both exclaimed at the same time.
"It's okay, Chayu, you can accompany me to see my father, he is not in good health, so he can't drink more...... But I'm drunk again" After speaking, Song Rumu pulled up the tea and prepared to go to Song Han to have a look. If she doesn't take a look, she's going to lose sleep tonight.
"Huh...... It's cold enough outside, and if your niece wants to see your father, she can go back tomorrow. He walked to the door with the tea party, and before he could open the door, the laughter of the second aunt came from outside the door.
"But......" hurriedly opened the door and welcomed the second aunt into the house, Song Rumu squatted down and saluted, and hesitated.
"Don't worry, my aunt knows that you are a good boy who is rare and filial, but now that someone is serving your father, you can relax and rest." The second aunt smiled kindly.
Seeing that Song Rumu was frozen there and couldn't move, and thought that the child didn't understand the meaning of this when he was young, the second aunt smiled again: "You are still young and don't understand, hurry up and rest." ”
If she was just an ordinary child, she wouldn't understand.
But after sending the second aunt away, how could Song Rumu, who understood everything, still be able to sleep.
