Chapter 158: Chinese New Year
Mrs. Guan came out to play a round and said with a smile: "Let's all sit down and eat!" Today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, Brother Xu, wait for you to lead your Shaojin sister to set off firecrackers! ”
In previous years, this kind of thing was done by Cheng Yi in a hurry.
Zhou Shaojin glanced at Cheng Yi, and he really cried with a sad face. Zhou Shaojin felt that she was in a good mood, she smiled and said, when everyone sat down, she went to set off firecrackers with Cheng He.
It's said together, in fact, Cheng He's little maid Wu'er is carrying a bamboo pole, Cheng He lit a firecracker, and Zhou Shaojin stood under the corridor and covered his ears and hid behind Yi'er.
After a burst of "crackling" firecrackers, the yard was filled with gunsmoke.
In the distance, there were bursts of firecrackers, and I don't know which room the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner began.
Only then did Zhou Shaojin deeply feel that the New Year was coming, and she would soon usher in the nineteenth year of Zhide.
I hope that Aunt Mu will marry Lin Shisheng smoothly next year, and I hope that she will be able to talk to Uncle Chi next year.
She looked at the starry red light in the distance and silently made a wish to the Bodhisattva.
Cheng He patted her shoulder with a smile and said, "Let's go, let's go back!" There is a lot of smoke here, so be careful of choking. ”
Zhou Shaojin smiled and entered the house with Cheng He.
Cheng He sat in the circle chair with thick brocade cushions, and did not look at Zhou Shaojin coldly and arrogantly.
Zhou Shaojin didn't bother to pay attention to her and sat next to her sister.
The little maid began to serve the cold dish, and Cheng Wei began to speak.
He first blessed Mrs. Guan a few words, and then talked about Sister Zhou Shaojin: "When you go home, you should close the doors and windows, and if you have anything, you will immediately send someone over to tell your uncle." Early in the morning of the second year of junior high school, I will call the steward to pick up your sisters and take them home. When it came to Cheng He and Cheng Yi, he said: "...... From today onwards, I will study behind closed doors, and I will review the homework taught by my husband in the past a few times, and if I know, I know, and if I don't know, I don't know. Your aunt went back to Pukou on the fifth day of the new year, and the two of you followed your mother to Pukou in the third year of junior high school, one is to ask your aunt to say goodbye, and the other is to kowtow to the old lady of the He family. ”
I don't know if I got the news early, Cheng He responded calmly, his expression was a little dignified; Cheng Yi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he looked at Mrs. Chu with a blank look.
You know what you are born with. Mrs. Chu glanced at her husband and saw that her husband's expression was gentle, so she whispered to Cheng Yi pointedly: "This time, my mother also took you there, you have to be obedient." Otherwise, you won't want me to take you out again. ”
After being beaten, there is still a share!
Cheng Yi was crazy, and he promised loudly, and couldn't stop being cheerful.
Cheng Wei glanced at Cheng Yi.
Cheng Yi immediately looked at his nose, and sat down with his nose and heart.
A trace of satisfaction flashed in Cheng Wei's eyes, and he turned his head and asked Mrs. Guan warmly: "Mother, do you have anything to say?" ”
"No, no." Mrs. Guan said with a smile, "Everyone is safe and smooth this year, and next year will be the same!" ”
"Inherit your old man's good words!" Mrs. Chu smiled, and Zhou Shaojin also grinned.
The little maid began to serve hot dishes.
Cheng Wei personally poured a glass of wine for Mrs. Guan, and said with a smile: "This is the Wu family Jinhua wine that I specially asked people to bring back from Hangzhou Mansion, you can taste it." ”
Mrs. Guan smiled and watched her son pour herself wine, and said with a smile: "You also fill a glass for your daughter-in-law, she has worked hard to host the middle feed this year." ”
Mrs. Chu's face was swollen and red, and she hurriedly stood up, and said in a loud voice, "You can torture your daughter-in-law."
"Not to be exaggerated, not to be exaggerated." Mrs. Guan said, and Cheng Wei poured a glass of wine for Mrs. Guan.
Mrs. Chuda hasn't drunk yet, as if she's drunk.
Zhou Shaojin and Zhou Chujin both covered their mouths and smiled.
Mrs. Chu said: "You two sisters also drink some, especially Shao Jin, who is already a big girl, and you have to learn to drink this wine slowly." ”
In her previous life, until she left the Cheng family, no elder thought that she could drink.
Zhou Shaojin blushed and poured wine for herself by the little maid.
Cheng Wei raised his wine glass.
Except for Mrs. Guan, everyone stood up with a smile.
Cheng Yi was tea in front of him, and he stood twice on the circle chair before standing up.
After a small sip of wine, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner officially begins.
Different from the past to eat without saying a word, everyone is more indulgent than usual, and when it comes to the last pot, Mrs. Guan has whispered to Mrs. Chu to discuss with Mrs. Chu whether there is a gift to forget jì in Pukou, Cheng Wei and Cheng Yi talked about the popular "Analects of the New Judgment" in recent days: "It is the posthumous work of the late scholar Hu Zhuoran, it is said that the emperor attaches great importance to it and intends to use it as one of the annotations of the imperial examination, although the old lady of the He family and Hu Zhuoran have only met once, they are academic confidants." When you go this time, you must ask Old Lady He for advice......"
Zhou Chujin reads books very well, and is also interested in the economy of current literature, and listens to it with relish.
Zhou Shaojin didn't know if the old lady of the He family had a good relationship with this named Hu Zhuoran, but he knew that the old lady of the He family would die of illness in three years, because He Fengping was one year older than Cheng He, in order not to delay the marriage of He Fengping and Cheng He, as soon as the old lady of the He family fell ill, Mrs. He married He Fengping. Six years later, Hu Zhuoran's book "The New Judgment of the Analects" became one of the commentaries on the imperial examination.
Since Uncle Chu talked about it, she felt that she should also remind her brother-in-law Liao Shaotang - Liao Shaotang's aunt Liao Yingzhang was married to the children of the He family.
However, at this time, Uncle Chu was talking to Cousin He, not an opportunity, and he must remember this incident when he goes back.
Zhou Shaojin pondered in his heart, and someone came over and said in a low voice: "Do you know that my mother is going to take our brother to Pukou?" ”
There were only a few people in the room, and she didn't have to look up to know who was talking to her.
Zhou Shaojin said "um".
Cheng Yi was so angry that he said, "Then why didn't you remind me just now?" If I don't come, won't I be able to go to Pukou? ”
Over the past year, he has been grounded again and again, and he is about to grow green hair.
Zhou Shaojin said lightly: "Didn't you say that you want to have no contact with me?" Why should I sue you? ”
Cheng Yi is angry.
Zhou Shaojin slowly scooped a bowl of chicken soup and drank it.
So she didn't see the old lady Guan and Mrs. Chu, who were sitting opposite her, smiling and looking at each other without saying a word.

The ancestral house of the Zhou family on Pingqiao Street, in addition to the peach charm, was also pasted and the god of the stove was also welcomed, Zhou Shaojin and Zhou Chujin returned home and had no pipe head, they really slept until they woke up naturally, they could eat whenever they wanted, and they could eat whatever they wanted, but after two days of hard work, Zhou Shaojin began to be unable to sleep at night and couldn't get up during the day.
The self-disciplined Zhou Chujin hurriedly said: "It can't be like this, and when I go back to Jiuru Lane in a few days, I won't be criticized!" ”
"Let's take it as if we were relatives!" Zhou Shaojin seemed to be in a grange in Daxing, put an Arhat bed near the window, lit a brazier around it, and leaned on the scarlet velvet pillow wrapped in gray squirrel skin and looked at a book called "Jade Hairpin", she looked at it and commented: "...... Who is the owner of this green building who wrote the book? How could anyone be so stupid? When I saw someone else taking a hosta, I suspected that it was given by my wife, and I didn't check what was going on......"
"If it's not good-looking, why keep watching?" Zhou Chujin smiled, "I don't think you're reading a book, are you suffering from a crime, or are you doing it yourself!" ”
Zhou Shaojin grinned and said, "Isn't it fun for me?" ”
Who knew that as soon as her words fell, the Spring Festival Gala ran in: "Second Miss, Second Miss, Miss Jiying is here!" ”
"What did you say?" Zhou Shaojin sat up all of a sudden, "Jiying? How did she get here? Who sent her here? Where are the people? ”
She asked like a cannonball, and the Spring Festival Gala finally waited for her to finish, and then smiled: "It was Steward Qin who sent Miss Jiying over, and the person was ...... outside the door."
"Let her in, let her in." Zhou Shaojin didn't wait for the Spring Festival Gala to finish, she got out of bed to put on her shoes, and she didn't let her wear them on the Spring Festival Gala, urging her to bring people in.
Zhou Chujin looked at it and shook his head, and returned to the house with a smile.
After a while, the Spring Festival Gala brought Jiying in.
Ji Hotaru combed her hair on the top of her head, wore a peach hairpin, wore a blue brocade robe worn by a man, and covered it with a royal blue lambskin cape.
Zhou Shaojin's wide mouth didn't close for a long time.
Ji Hotaru smiled: "How is it?" I'm not badly dressed, am I? ”
Zhou Shaojin said: "Qin Ziping sent you?" ”
Ji Ying nodded and said, "He came out to do something for Cheng Zichuan, I said I wanted to come to see you, so I said to Cheng Zichuan and came out with him." ”
Zhou Shaojin couldn't help but look her up and down, and said, "Uncle Chi agreed to let you come to see me?" ”
"Am I not going to do anything bad? Why didn't he agree? Ji Hotaru smiled.
Oh yes!
Zhou Shaojin hurriedly invited her into the house.
Ji Ying saw the Luohan bed by the window, so she snorted, walked over and sat down in three steps and two steps, and hugged the big plush pillow in her arms, and said, "Second Miss, I knew that coming to you was much more interesting than staying in the Hanbi Mountain House!" I like your Luohan bed so much, and I also like this big pillow. ”
Because it's all from the north!
Zhou Shaojin said: "If you like it, I will give you this Luohan bed and these big pillows!" ”
"Yes, yes!" Ji Ying said happily, "I don't need Luohan beds, there are several Hanbi Mountain Rooms, and I can't stand these big pillows!" ”
Zhou Shaojin smiled: "You still drag the text with me!" ”
Ji Hotaru pursed her lips and smiled, and asked her, "What are you doing at home?" Tomorrow is the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and your family's New Year goods should be all purchased, right? Would you like to go out for a walk with me? I've heard people say that every time at this time, those who beg for a living under the Jiangbei Bridge will be out of business, and the large and small boats will be lined up one by one, all the way to the center of the river, which is very spectacular, and I have always wanted to see it but have no chance...... Let's go and have a look, shall we? ”
"At this time? To Jiangbei Bridge? Zhou Shaojin felt that this idea ...... Some are fanciful.
"yes!" Ji Hotaru couldn't be more serious, "It's this time to go, otherwise on the first day of the Lunar New Year, everyone will start to pay New Year's greetings, and there will be more people on the road, so it will be inconvenient to go!" ”
