Chapter 11 The Zhang Family
In order to let Yan Ziyu and Yan Ziye go out decently, Mrs. asked people to drive out a few sets of new clothes overnight, Yan Ziyu and Yan Ziye's clothes are brand new, Yan Ziyu's jewelry is all Mrs. 's, Mrs. is afraid that her mother will misunderstand, and she made it clear in the letter.
When it was almost time to settle down, the grandmother of the Zhang family came over to dress up Yan Ziyu, and the things inside could be done slowly, but on the surface, they couldn't be confused, and when they entered the Zhang family, countless eyes were waiting to see, whether these two children could live as they wished in the Zhang family in the future, this first sight was very important.
Fortunately, Yan Ziyu and Yan Ziye are good-looking, and this face is a few surprises, and if you dress up again, you can meet people generously and confidently.
After entering Zhang's house, Mama directly took Yan Ziyu and Yan Ziye to Lao Anren's house, and Mama Wang taught them the rules after arriving at Zhang's house all the way.
Yan Ziyu and Yan Ziye hadn't seen it clearly, so they got a hint from Mama Wang, knelt down and snorted three heads first, and then heard Lao Anren say with a smile: "Hurry up, it's cold, don't catch a cold." ”
Mama Wang helped them up, pointed to the noble lady standing on the side, and said, "I've seen my uncle and aunt." ”
Yan Ziyu and Yan Ziye knelt down to give their uncle and aunt a snort, and the aunt stepped forward to help them up with a smile, looked at them carefully, and praised: "It's so beautiful, this is the legendary boy and girl in front of the award." ”
Yan Ziyu was dressed in a pink and delicate lotus flower embroidered Hangzhou silk gown, combed a double-ring bun, and simply wore a red gold flower hairpin, her face was pink, her skin was snowy, as if she could pinch out the water, and her big eyes were black with shyness, no matter how you look at it, it makes people like it.
The fifth wife gave a pair of gold bracelets, a red gold bead inlaid with southern pearls, a few gold beans, Yan Ziye is a set of pen, ink, paper inkstone, and a few gold beans.
Lao Anren smiled and beckoned to them: "Come here, let my grandmother take a good look." ”
Yan Ziyu and Yan Ziye walked over obediently, Lao Anren grabbed one with one hand, looked at it for a long time and praised: "I thought it was better to write in the letter, but now when I see it, it is really surprising. ”
Mama Lu, who was beside Lao Anren, complimented: "You are blessed, even with Miss Biao and Young Master Biao have followed your example." ”
The people in the room laughed out loud, and Lao Anren said happily: "Or listen to what you say, this looks like a child who is destined for us, you have to serve carefully before, don't let the child be wronged here." ”
Everyone should be in unison, Yan Ziyu only saw Lao An people clearly at this time, Mrs. followed Lao Anren's touch, but Mrs. was a little better looking than Lao Anren, and the fifth uncle also followed Lao An's touch, like Lao Anren, he looked very easy-going, and the fifth aunt was in her thirties and was a little younger than people of the same age, with a round face, slightly confused eyes when she smiled, and a bit of a big example, but with a little sadness on her brows, it was estimated that it was caused by years of nothing.
Considering the tiredness along the way, Lao An asked them to take them to the prepared room to wash up, Yan Ziyu changed her clothes after washing, combed her hair again, and put on the red gold inlaid with southern pearls rewarded by the fifth uncle, the fifth aunt watched from the side, kept praising her, and Yan Ziyu lowered her head and blushed.
Yan Ziye was watched by the fifth uncle, came out of the wing room, and just met Yan Ziye who came out after washing, the fifth uncle walked in front, Yan Ziye followed behind the fifth uncle, and learned to learn from the fifth uncle to put his hands behind his back, stand up with his chest, and strode forward, the fifth uncle saw them, nodded slightly as a greeting, Yan Ziye also nodded slightly, and wanted to pass by them, but was turned back and glared at by the fifth uncle who walked in front, Yan Ziye shrank his shoulders, and then shouted: "Fifth uncle." ”
When everyone saw it, they couldn't help laughing, and the fifth uncle laughed: "There are no rules at all." ”
When I came to the Zhang family, I inevitably had to give the old people in each room to say goodbye, the old people are the long house of the Zhang family, and they are the women of the long house, and they usually come to ask the old people to ask for peace, Yan Ziyu and Yan Ziye are the younger generations, and they can only go to the rooms to ask for peace.
The fifth aunt took them to the second room first, and Zhu Lao'an in the second room rewarded Yan Ziyu with a small bag of golden beans, the size of soybeans, Yan Ziyu couldn't help but be surprised, this Zhang family shot is different, this bag will cost hundreds of taels of silver, to say the least.
The three-room one is the same, it is a small bag of golden melon seeds, the four-bedroom, five-room and six-room are almost the same, plus the meeting gifts of the wives and grandmothers in each room, along the way, Yan Ziyu and Yan Ziye also have a lot of private money.
The Zhang family has six heads, the long room is headed by Lao Anren, the old lady has passed away, Lao Anren is the eldest sister-in-law and eldest wife, gave birth to five sons and a daughter, and the long house also has the second and third masters, all of whom are working outside, each with two sons.
The sons gave birth to two sons each, and now they are all outside, and they rarely go back to the old house, and the first four sons of the Lao An people each have two sons, only the youngest son, the fifth uncle has not come out for many years, and he has stayed by his side, and the others are all working outside.
Looking at the head of the long house, there are counts, but compared with the two rooms, three rooms, four rooms and five rooms, it is far behind, these rooms are especially good at giving birth to sons, there is no daughter, each can give birth to three sons, these generations down, it has developed into a small house, to say that the Zhang family is very capable of giving birth to sons, and not all, as far as the six rooms are concerned, it is pitiful, and there are only five people in a room, and a daughter who is married out.
However, in the Zhang family, the sixth room is the most powerful head, the old lady of the sixth room is the old man who entered the cabinet, and is the most influential figure in the Zhang family.
Yan Ziyu also knew something in his previous life, the long room was stained with the position of the sect master, but it was the weakest head of the entire Zhang family, and the sixth room was ranked last, but there were two elders, and the entire Zhang family was supported by the sixth room.
The long room is mediocre whether it is in reading or doing business, the second room is the best at doing business, the Zhang family's property is taken care of by the second room, the third room is more effective in reading, there are a lot of high-ranking officials, now the old lady of the second room is Xiao Jiu chat, and it is also a very important figure in the Zhang family, the fourth room is very good in reading and doing business, but it is not as good as the second room and the third room, in the head of the house, the fourth room is the strongest, and the people in the fifth room are not in business or scientific examination, but manage the Zhang family's ethnology and ancestral hall, The six-room is dominant, but people are worried about when the head will be broken, if the six-room is gone one day, the people of the Zhang family will not feel strange.
The seemingly powerful and glorious Zhang family's century-old family, it is very complicated inside, Yan Ziyu walked all the way over, each room was polite, and the rewards were gold and silver treasures, obviously knowing that they were coming over early, but they didn't bother to prepare for the ceremony, and just took the gold and silver to deal with it.
It took a lot of time for a few heads to walk down, Yan Ziyu and Yan Ziye first arranged to live in the fifth uncle's Duoyuxuan, what Lao An meant was to let them get familiar with it first, and they would get along well later.
The fifth aunt has never taken a child, and I don't know a lot of things, Yan Ziyu's room is the same as the fifth aunt's room, and even the things used are the same, when Lao An people rose up together to look at it, his face sank, and he said to the fifth aunt: "The room of the little girl's house, how can you fiddle with the room of the married woman, you are also from a girl to a woman, don't you know what color the little girl's family likes, and what things will be more liked by the little girl's family?" ”
The fifth uncle lowered her head in shame, and didn't dare to speak out for a long time, and the fifth uncle sneered on the side: "On weekdays, I say how capable I am, but when I really let you do something, I can't do it." ”
Lao Anwai went to Yan Ziye's room in silence, the whole room was as cold and hard as a study, and Lao Anren said in a deep voice: "Is it to arrange a wing room or a study for Brother Ye'er, how can this house live?" ”
The fifth uncle blushed and explained: "I heard that Brother Ye likes to read, and I thought that making it like this would make Brother Ye happy." ”
The fifth aunt laughed out loud and said sarcastically: "Brother Ye just likes to read, but he has to have a place to sleep, is this not even allowed to let Brother Ye sleep?" ”
Lao Anren shouted: "Shut up, the children are still here, you can't be quiet for a while." ”
The fifth uncle and the fifth aunt lowered their heads, they didn't dare to make a sound, Lao An called someone to rearrange the room, and ordered the fifth uncle and the fifth aunt to watch from the side, and learn by the way, if you make such a room again, you will have to be scolded by Lao An.
