Visiting relatives is one of the most important activities of the Chinese New Year, and the most painful thing is to be surrounded by a group of three aunts and six women, who talk about everything about you around you.

In the past, Jiang Quinoa had a soft temperament, and every time at this time, he sat timidly and listened to the elders. But since last year's Qixi injury, her mood has changed greatly, and the temperament of the whole person is not the same, if it used to be the empty valley Youlan lonely Fang self-appreciation, then now it is the arrogant Hanmei Ling Han alone, even if you sit quietly drinking tea, you can't ignore it.

"Quinoa is fourteen years old, which is not small in our countryside. Our family has a talent to say, almost all the women like this in the city are married, and they will be given to others in another year. Did your mom and dad write back to you about you? The seventh uncle had just eaten two osmanthus cakes, and asked while picking her teeth with her little fingernails.

How can such a topic be talked about in front of a little girl? Jiang Quinoa was annoyed in her heart, put the teacup on the table, pretended to be uncomfortable, turned her head sideways and coughed, and avoided the topic.

Several people present also frowned when they heard this, but everyone else was not good at speaking because of the seventh uncle's age, but the patriarch's wife was not afraid, last year the seventh uncle said bad things about Jiang Quinoa everywhere, and this dog also depends on the owner, although Jiang Quinoa lives in the village, but people still have a father who is an official in the capital, if he is offended, how can he find someone to talk about what is going on in the village in the future?

"Aunt Seven is talking nonsense after drinking too much at noon, even if the younger brother has any plans, how can he talk to a little girl. Uncle Seven often said that we are a family of scholars, so we must come up with rules. I don't think I've heard this today, and you have to think about what you have to say in the future. The patriarch's wife said with a straight face, although she has a low seniority, but she can't stand the high status of others, and everyone else here is busy, even the seventh uncle has to endure it if she wants to get angry.

Everyone diverted the topic in a few words and moved on to other topics.

Jiang Qu quietly listened to the gossip of others, and the aunt next to her occasionally turned her head sideways to say a few words to her, and she behaved decently. Today's arrivals are a few aunts and uncles who live in the village, everyone is usually quite close, although Jiang Quinoa doesn't want to deal with the guests, but they still have to come forward to receive them, who knows that they have met the seventh uncle who relies on the old and sells the old, unreasonable.

“…… I've heard that the signing of the White Horse View is very special, and many people say that where to ask for a sign can make their wishes come true. I'm not afraid of your jokes, my daughter-in-law has been married for a year, and her stomach hasn't moved, I want to ask for a sign, which of you will go together. "It's Aunt Twelve who speaks, although they are still close to Jiang Quinoa, but because Uncle Twelve and Jiang Xun are not the same branch, Jiang Quinoa and her only met during the New Year and some major events, and they have no impression of her second daughter-in-law, who seems to be a very tall woman.

The other aunt was immediately very interested when she heard this, but she was still a little hesitant, "The White Horse View is not close." ”

The others also followed, who didn't have anything at home to ask for a sign and ask for a good fortune, and their hearts were also very excited, but Baimaguan was indeed a little far away from the village.

Aunt Twelve was afraid that everyone would not go, so she hurriedly said: "In previous years, it was inconvenient, but this year the road is good, when the time comes, let's take the car, we can go back and forth on the same day, and it is convenient, do you say yes?" Seeing that everyone was still a little hesitant, she continued to persuade: "I heard that this White Horse View has become famous in the past two years, not only because of the marriage of the heirs, but also because of the fame of learning, and even the county lady has rushed over this year to take the first stick of incense of the New Year." ”

Seeking a scholarly name suddenly moved the seventh uncle who was still sulking just now, but she often heard her old man say that her grandson Jiang Youcai would also be a senior official in the future, but it was always good to have an extra layer of security, so she nodded and said: "Yes, the road is easy to walk this year, why don't we make an appointment together to ask for a sign?" ”

Someone answered, and everyone else agreed to go together, so the next topic was about going to ask for a signature, and Jiang Quinoa was not interested in these, so she sat and listened to their lively discussion.

Finally sent people away, Jiang Quinoa sat on the stool in a daze, still thinking about Baimaguan, she always felt that she should have heard this name somewhere, but Uncle Qing and Aunt Rong usually went to worship the land lord, she couldn't have heard about it from them.

When Jiang Chun came back, the whole person was smiling, and Jiang Quinoa knew at a glance that she must have gotten along well with her grandfather's house today.

"A few years ago, my mother was strong and timid, and my grandfather persuaded her to remarry with my grandmother, and she never dared to go back. This year, she figured it out, and when she went the day before yesterday, she was worried that my grandfather would not let her in, and she didn't fall asleep all night, but when she went there yesterday, my grandfather and they were very happy, and even my uncle apologized to my mother. My mother hasn't gone back for so many years, and they actually miss her very much, but they made too much trouble at the beginning, and everyone was unwilling to take a step back, which is why it has become what it is now. Yesterday, when my grandmother was crying with my mother in her arms, I saw the white hair on her head, and my heart was so sad. Jiang Chun's eyes were red as he spoke, "Look, I'll just say it's different." If you hadn't persuaded my mother, how would she have thought of having a meeting and looking back at my grandfather, life is only a few decades, if you don't grasp it, it will leave a lot of regret. "It's very touching.

Jiang Quinoa is also happy for Jiang Chun's mother and daughter, at least for now, their mother and daughter will not follow the old path of their previous life.

"It's my grandfather who is angry with my mother and asked me to be a maid, saying that it is still a maid in the days of a young lady, and my reputation is not good in the future, so let my mother go to the patriarch to comment, and I will persuade me to say it." Saying that, Jiang Chun was a little proud, "My grandfather didn't believe that I was literate, my uncle went to find someone to borrow pen and ink, and they believed it after I wrote a few words, hehe, I took out the shoes made for my grandfather, grandmother, uncle, and aunt, and they were even more stunned." The embroidered handkerchief I gave to my cousin was the one that the master said I embroidered with lotus flowers last time and gave it to my cousin, but she liked it and was reluctant to use it. ”

Jiang Chun said happily and couldn't stop, "My cousin has reached the age of saying kiss, and the family has been worried in the past two years, many people can't climb it, and the ordinary people don't think people are motivated, and the worse people are my uncle and my aunt are reluctant to marry my cousin to suffer in the past, this family affair is hanging like this, she has no bottom in her heart, and she asked me to go to the White Horse Temple to ask for a sign when I was fifteen, and I heard that the sign of this Taoist temple is very smart." Why don't you come with me and ask for a signature? ”

It's the White Horse Temple again, and this place is talked about everywhere all day today, and it seems that the reputation of this Taoist temple is really big. Jiang Quinoa groaned, suddenly slapped the table, and said happily: "Chun'er, I have thought of an idea." ”
