CHAPTER XXXIV
Seeing these big and small people reciting in unison, all with serious faces and loud voices, even the youngest kid could recite them smoothly, which made Yan Xiaoyue have a deeper understanding of the family.
The Xiao family can become a century-old family, but the family motto should also keep pace with the times, and in the situation of the Xiao family, the wife's blind submissiveness will only create more problems. Xiao Yue feels that the most important precept in their family now is that men should abstain from sex.
After reciting the family motto, everyone saluted their ancestors with a glass of water and wine, and then played a song of guzheng by the eldest lady Xiao Lianxin, who was over 16 years old, and this time everyone went back to the ancestral house for a reason that she was going to get married in March.
Guzheng should be the best at mercy.,Xiao Yue likes to listen to these classical instruments very much but doesn't know the good or bad of them.,Anyway, the music played by mercy sounds much better to her than in the mp3 of her previous life.,Plus this antique scene.,Let the sight and hearing be enjoyed.。 Next, some people painted, some people wrote poems, and a few concubines danced together, although they lacked cooperation, but the waist was soft, and the willow waist swayed with the wind during the dance, showing tenderness, so that Xiaoyue looked envious.
When the talent show was over, Mrs. Xiao and her three daughters-in-law played leaf play, Mr. Xiao and his son and son-in-law continued to drink and talk, and the three or five groups of the small characters talked and had fun, Yan Xiaoyue and Xiaoxiao followed the pity to play with a few pitchers, Xiaoxiao had never played, her strength was small, and the shortest branch could not be thrown, so she was in a hurry.
"Cousin, it's not like you to throw pots, come, watch your cousin teach you." Xiao Yicheng, who had been watching from the side, stepped forward to take the branch from Xiaoxiao's hand, "Spread your legs slightly, lean forward, shift your center of gravity forward, hold the branch in your right hand, and throw it from top to bottom with the mouth of the pot." After saying that, he easily threw himself in.
Xiaoxiao said happily: "Thank you, big cousin." "After saying that, he continued to cast.
Yan Xiaoyue looked at this scene and stepped forward and said, "Xiaoxiao, you've been voting for a long time, aren't you tired?" Let's take a break. ”
Xiao Yicheng said to Xiaoyue enthusiastically: "This is Xiaoyue's cousin, I am Xiaoxiao's eldest cousin, you can also call me that." ”
Yan Xiaoyue looked at Yang Yicheng and said evilly: "Big cousin? Hehe, it looks like an uncle! After speaking, he didn't care that Young Master Yang looked embarrassed, and winked at Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao, the age difference between your brothers and sisters is too big, and it is easy to call the wrong name if you are not careful." ”
Xiao Yicheng continued to speak, "Hehe, Xiaoxiao's mother is my youngest aunt, so the age difference between me and Xiaoxiao is a little bigger, but because I am older, I have taken care of Xiaoxiao since I was a child, Xiaoxiao, have you forgotten that when you were a child, you thought of your aunt when I was a child, and I accompanied you to talk?" ”
"When Xiaoxiao was a child, she was ignorant, and it was not normal for you to take care of her by his cousin. Like my brother, he gives me the best in everything. As soon as Yan Xiaoyue talked about Mu Zigui, he began to think about him, a few years ago, he sent a lot of things and a thick letter, and the letter asked Xiaoyue, for fear that she would suffer outside, and now I don't know how he celebrated the New Year, whether he ate well. Thinking that there was no mood to deal with this big cousin here, he pulled Xiaoxiao and rested.
When the fireworks were set off, the ancestors were sacrificed before they dispersed.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, many of Mr. Xiao's students came to visit the New Year with their wives, and Yan Xiaoyue stayed in Ziwei Pavilion with Yang Xiao'er all day. In the evening, Jin Qiao came in and whispered a few words to Xiao Yue, who was surprised: "Really? Jin Qiao nodded.
Yan Xiaoyue frowned and thought for a while, attached a few words to Jin Qiao's ear, and let her out, thinking proudly: It seems that I can go back to Mengjin as soon as possible.
On the morning of the second day of the new year, Yan Xiaoyue and Yang Xiaoer went to Rong'an Hall after breakfast, and when they saw that the elders were chatting about family life, they went over to see each other one by one.
Today is the day to go back to her parents' house, and the three uncles and aunts came to Mrs. Xiao's place early in the morning to prepare gifts for returning to her parents' house. Yang Mocheng was by Mr. Xiao's side, Yan Xiaoyue stared at her father-in-law vigorously, and she didn't know if her father-in-law was ready? It was only after half a ring that Yang Mocheng took the time to nod at her, and Xiao Yue suddenly relaxed when she saw it. With a relaxed smile on his face.
Just as Mrs. Xiao nodded and the three aunts were about to say goodbye, a pink-clothed maid rushed in and knelt down towards Mrs. Xiao, "Old lady, help, save the slave." ”
Old Madam Xiao looked at her with a panicked expression, "Bi'er? What are you doing? How did you get here? Someone, bring Bi'er back. The more Mrs. Xiao spoke, the more anxious she became.
Bi'er shouted loudly: "Old lady, help, the eldest lady is going to sell the slaves." ”
"Damn bitch, dare to beg the old lady to come, come on, pull this slut down and lock him up." The eldest lady hurriedly stood up and spoke.
When Bi'er saw that the old lady was silent, she knew that this was the old lady's acquiescence, remembering what she heard this morning, she turned her head and looked around, kowtowed to Yang Xiao'er, and begged in a low voice: "Miss Table, please save the slave maid, the slave is pregnant with the flesh and blood of the eldest young master, please Miss Cousin give the slave and maid a way to live!" ”
"Ah, this ......" Xiaoxiao's face was flushed with anxiety, and she hurriedly wanted to help Bi'er up. Yan Xiaoyue grabbed her, "You girl is so strange, if you want to live, you can't ask Miss Cousin to come here, right?" Wouldn't it be misunderstood for others to see it? What's the matter, you should ask the old lady to be the master, Miss Biao is only a guest for two days, how can she give you what to do, this is not the Assassin's Mansion. ”
"But ......"
Before Bi'er could finish speaking, the old lady interrupted, "That's enough, cover your mouth and take it down, don't let foul language hit the young ladies." ”
The two mothers-in-law rushed in and covered Bi'er's mouth and dragged her down.
"Sir, mother-in-law, there are still important matters in the student mansion, I will take Xiaoxiao Xiaoyue back tomorrow." Yang Mocheng stood up and said goodbye.
Mrs. Yang hurriedly said: "Why did you leave so quickly, acquiescing, didn't you have to wait until the Lantern Festival to go back in previous years?" Well, if you have something, let Xiaoxiao stay with me. ”
Yang Mocheng firmly refused, "Mother-in-law, my yamen is really something, Xiaoxiao is also ten years old this year, I plan to let her learn piano skills with everyone Fang, it just so happens that everyone from the sixth party has something to do in Lingnan County, and we rush back to meet us." ”
"Fang everyone? Are you talking about Fang Yajie, a master of piano skills in Beijing? The eldest lady who was listening from the sidelines asked.
Yang Mocheng nodded, "Yes, sister-in-law." ”
The eldest lady smiled and said: "It is unbelievable to worship everyone as a teacher, I heard that in the imperial city, I don't know how many people want to worship everyone as a teacher and learn art, but they have all been rejected, I haven't heard of which one she accepts as an apprentice, and it is enviable to get her guidance on weekdays?" Brother-in-law, you are still strong, but since everyone has agreed to teach Xiao'er, why don't you bring my second sister with you so that Xiaoxiao can be her companion? ”
Yang Mo admitted: "This? Sister-in-law, everyone hasn't agreed to teach Xiao'er yet, but they have something to do in Mengjin, I want to introduce Xiao'er and Xiaoyue to her, and if people can give them guidance, it will be enough for Xiao'er and Xiaoyue to be used for a lifetime. How can you expect to take them as disciples? ”
The eldest lady still didn't give up, "Then you can also bring my second sister, maybe everyone can take a fancy to the second sister." ”
"Sister-in-law, we have all heard about the reputation of everyone in Yanzhong, and people can be strict in accepting apprentices, and they don't want it after the age of eleven. I remember that the second sister will be fifteen after the New Year, and if this brother-in-law takes it, she is afraid that she will annoy others, and she will not accept anyone. In the end, the second lady interjected and relieved the siege.
