Chapter 56: Dragon Boat Festival
Of course, Mrs. Guan's words are a bit exaggerated, but it is true that Mrs. Wenda, who has five rooms, has never entertained guests much.
There was a burst of laughter in the crowd.
After that, Mrs. Guan ordered the lunch: "...... We won't wait. In the evening, everyone will have a good gathering. ”
Cheng Wei was invited by the second room early in the morning, and just came over to spread the word that the ancestor of the second room had left a meal, so that they didn't have to wait.
Zhou Shaojin and Zhou Chujin helped the maids serve the food, but they were grabbed by Mrs. Chu and pressed on the stool: "There are no outsiders, so there is no need to be so polite." ”
Knowing that their grandmother and aunt were not such exquisite people, the sisters smiled and thanked them, and sat down for lunch together.
At this time, the weather was hot, and after drinking tea, everyone was a little drowsy, and without saying a few words, they dispersed.
When Zhou Shaojin woke up, the sun was already a little westerly.
She didn't expect that she would sleep so deeply, so she hurriedly asked Shi Xiang: "Has grandmother started preparing dinner over there?" ”
"Second Miss hasn't slept like this for some days." Shi Xiang said with a smile, "The slave is afraid of waking you up, and I'm afraid that I will be late for dinner, so I keep staring at Jiashutang - the two masters have not come back, but I am afraid that dinner will have to wait for a while." ”
Zhou Shaojin asked her sister again: "...... Up? ”
"Up!" Shi Xiang served her and drank tea, and said, "Seeing that you didn't wake up, I went to the eldest lady's place, saying that I wanted to accompany the eldest lady to draw a few cards." ”
Zhou Shaojin nodded, thinking that if Cheng He and Cheng Yi came back, they should go to their grandmother to say goodbye first, and they might as well go to their aunt and follow their sister, after all, there would be no mistake and they could avoid suspicion.
She was given a lake-colored hibiscus flower dark pattern gown by Shi Xiang, a black green silk combed into a bun, a silver pearl hairpin, and a Xiangfei mud gold and white yarn fan and went to the Hanqiu Pavilion.
The entrance of the Hanqiu Pavilion is a half-pond lotus, the green leaves are repeated, the small lotus is pointed, and the scenery is elegant.
Zhou Shaojin stood there and admired the lotus flowers for a while, and then followed the maid to the water pavilion.
In addition to Zhou Chujin, there is also a personal mother surnamed He next to Mrs. Chu, and a personal maid called Xianglian, the four of them just finished touching a circle, and the little maids were having refreshments. Mrs. Chu beckoned to Zhou Shaojin and said, "Come, help me look at the cards." This year's melons are sweet, so you can eat more. ”
Everyone knows that she doesn't know how to play cards, and she often comes and goes, so Mother He and the others are not polite to her, Xianglian went to tell the little maid to give Zhou Shaojin melons, and Mother He got up and greeted her: "Second Miss, this gown is so beautiful, it is the material sent by the old man, right?" ”
Zhou Shaojin didn't remember much, and responded vaguely.
A little maid ran in and said hurriedly, "Big lady, the second master is here." ”
The people in the room were stunned.
If Cheng He and Cheng Yi had asked Mrs. Guan to say goodbye, the weather was so hot, Mrs. Guan would definitely leave the two of them over there to wait for dinner, if they came directly...... Yu Li did not agree, and the two rarely did this...... Probably something's going on.
Mrs. Chu was busy and said, "Why don't you invite the two masters in?" ”
The little maid ran out in a puff of smoke.
Zhou Shaojin avoided behind the screen.
Where did Mrs. Chu and the others notice these little things, only Zhou Chujin frowned, and thoughtfully, Cheng He and Cheng Yi walked in together.
Cheng He is better, neatly dressed, but his face is as red as Guan Gong, Cheng Yi is obviously overdrinking, he is supported by his brother when he walks, his eyes are foggy, he doesn't know what he is muttering in his mouth, Zhou Shaojin smells a strong smell of wine behind the screen.
Mrs. Chu was shocked and anxious, and said continuously: "What's the matter? How did you drink so much alcohol? When the family wants to have dinner together, what if the old man and the old man see it? As he spoke, he shouted to Xianglian: "Go and tell the kitchen to cook the decanting soup." ”
Cheng He said with annoyance: "I met Cheng Ju and Cheng Lu in the fifth room, and I also kept food. Fifth Uncle Wen has been persuading him to drink, and Cheng Nuo is also there to coax, we don't drink well, I also helped the second brother block a few glasses, but I didn't block it, if I didn't say that the family would eat together in the evening, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to withdraw. Mother, I'm afraid the sobering soup won't work. I remember that you have sobering pills here, so please pour some into your second brother, so that he can sober up. ”
Today's holiday, Mrs. Chu was afraid that her son's drunkenness would make her husband angry and that her mother-in-law would blame her for not restraining the two brothers.
After a while, Cheng Yi vomited.
The maids and ladies took water to rinse his mouth, poured filth, and made tea, and they were very busy.
finally waited for Cheng Yi to vomit almost, Cheng Yi's wine also woke up for most of the time, and Mrs. Chu also began to chatter: "Don't you know what the scene is over there?" As long as your fifth uncle Wen has wine, he will drink a few glasses of anyone he catches, and he will drink slow wine, and he will not let go of people after a meal, if he doesn't eat for an hour or two. Where can you stay with him? You don't have a long heart, and if that's the case, you should sneak back sooner and stay there to eat? This is a long lesson, right? I'll just say, why did Mrs. Wen suddenly leave you for dinner, it turns out that your fifth uncle Wen is at home......"
Today is the Dragon Boat Festival, and there are lights everywhere, with Cheng Wen's temperament, he didn't spend time drinking outside, so it's no wonder that Mrs. Chu is strange.
Zhou Shaojin knew about this.
In his previous life, Cheng Wen's outer room was pregnant with a child at this time, and Cheng Wen wanted to give the outer room a name and go home to discuss with Mrs. Wen.
Of course, Mrs. Wen didn't agree, not only that, but the next day she also went to Cheng Xu, the ancestor of the second room.
Mrs. Cheng Xu annoyed that Mrs. Wen couldn't even control her husband's concubine, and was unwilling to take care of her, so she directly called Cheng Wen to Chunzexuan, and let him kneel on the ground under the sun for a day, almost fainting.
Since then, Cheng Wen and Mrs. Wen have completely torn their faces.
Not only did the outer chamber give birth to a child, but it was also a boy. Except for Qingming and Chinese New Year's Eve, Cheng Wen spent other festivals in the outer room. The outer room is also a caring person, and when the child grows up, his reading and literacy are far better than Cheng Nuo, who was born by Mrs. Wenda. Cheng Wen wanted the kid to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, and made another fuss. In the end, although the child failed to enter the score, Cheng Wen transferred most of the family's property to the child's name, and when Cheng Yi went to see Zhou Shaojin, he talked about the situation in the fifth room: "...... It's been an empty shell for a long time! Fifth Uncle Wen wants to quietly sell his ancestral property, and he is also the one born outside. ”
At this time, Cheng Wen must not have said it to Mrs. Wenda, so Mrs. Wen can still entertain her nephew happily. In the evening, Mrs. Wen knew why Cheng Wen was at home, but she was afraid that the house would explode.
Zhou Shaojin is most afraid of these things.
It's a headache just to think about.
When Cheng Yi was able to walk on the ground, they went to Jiashutang.
On the way, Cheng Yi said to Zhou Shaojin embarrassedly: "Let you see the joke." ”
If it was in the past, Zhou Shaojin would definitely comfort him, but now she feels very bored when she thinks of Cheng Yi's drunken appearance, and she can't help but say: "Since you know about gaffes, why do you drink so much?" Others won't think you're a hero just because you drink too much? You will only make people think that you have no perseverance and can't control yourself. How can such a person achieve great things? And how can I take you to heart. You should drink less in the future, and don't drink as soon as others persuade you, what's the point of that? ”
Although her voice was soft, Mrs. Chu and Cheng He, who had been paying attention to Cheng Yi, heard it clearly.
Mrs. Chu nodded straightly, feeling that Zhou Shaojin was really getting older and more sensible.
She thought about the few words she heard in her mother-in-law's house that day, and felt that if Zhou Shaojin could manage Cheng Yi, even if she was left at home, it might not be a good thing.
Cheng He thought of the scene when he was drinking, and felt that Zhou Shaojin seemed to be talking about him, and his face suddenly turned a little red.
Cheng Yi didn't think about it so much, he smiled hesitantly, followed Zhou Shaojin diligently, and arrived at Jiashutang.
Mrs. Guan and Cheng Wei had to say a few words about Cheng Yi when they saw each other, and Cheng Yi had a very good attitude in admitting his mistakes, so Mrs. Guan and Cheng Wei did not continue to investigate, but just warned him: "If you can't control yourself like this next time, you will not be allowed to go out to socialize again." ”
Cheng Yi responded again and again.
Mrs. Guan saw that it was getting late and asked the maids to set the meal.
Because they were all members of the family, although there were two tables, they were in the same room, and there was no screen.
After eating zongzi, the ladies followed Mrs. Guan to the courtyard to admire the moon, and Cheng He and Cheng Yi were called by Cheng Wei to go to the study to ask for homework.
The Dragon Boat Festival in the eighteenth year of Zhide passed quietly and warmly.
The next day, Cheng Wen's incident broke out.
In his previous life, Zhou Shaojin only wandered around the fourth room, and only heard the news afterwards.
In this life, Zhou Shaojin copied scriptures from Mrs. Guo in Hanbi Mountain House.
When Mrs. Wen broke into the Zelan Courtyard where the ancestor of the second room, Cheng Xu, lived, the mother-in-law who served in Jing'an Zhai had quietly whispered in her ear.
She knew about it earlier than Cheng Ji.
And Pan Qing didn't hear his mother Cheng Xian mention it until the afternoon.
She asked her mother, "The ancestor has already punished Uncle Wen, and he should let the outer room enter the door in the future, right?" Anyway, it's also pregnant with the Cheng family's flesh and blood......"
Cheng Xian sneered and said: "If the family rules are said to be changed, and if you want to change them, then what kind of family is it." ”
Pan Qing lowered his head as he listened.
Cheng Xian didn't see the glint in his daughter's eyes.
Cheng Nuo came to Cheng Yi to complain: "It's just a woman, why can't my mother tolerate it?" Instead of making a fuss like this, everyone's faces are not good-looking, it is better to take her home quietly, so that her father will not always wander outside. ”
Cheng Wei and Mrs. Chu raised their eyebrows, Cheng Yi really couldn't understand such a relationship, so he had to say: "The elders have eaten more salt than the bridge we have crossed, where is it our turn to talk about long and short?" You better leave it alone. I believe that the ancestors will give your family an explanation. Then he changed the topic and talked about the things in ethnology, "Which ones will end up this year?" Cousin Pan will leave for his hometown tomorrow, and Brother Cong seems to have said that he wants to take leave to study at home...... Shall we see them off? ”
Cheng Nuo was interested when he heard it, and said, "Okay, good!" It's in the old place. I'll do the East. These days, I went back to my parents' house with my mother, and my grandfather, grandmother and uncle all gave rewards. ”
