158 See Xiucai again
I don't know what Guan Ping said to the Jia family after he was sent back to the Li Mansion, anyway, since that day, I have heard that Guan Ping has begun to study hard behind closed doors, and he is bound to win the crown in the Toad Palace in the spring of next year.
As for whether there is more Li Yinfeng with red sleeves and fragrance by his side, the outside world has no way of knowing, and Yun Ying has already expelled him from his mind.
The August of the fire passed in a blink of an eye, on the sixth day of the first month of September, on the day of the beam of Yunying's house, the direction of the village entrance suddenly made a noise of gongs and drums, but fortunately, the master of the beam had already placed the main beam of the house at this time, otherwise it would be bad to be attracted by this excitement.
"Yuangen, Man'er, Hu Die, hurry up and come to Qiaotou to pick up the money!" Before anyone from Yunying's family went out to see it, Yuan Shun over there shouted and ran over.
"Hurry up, hurry up, I'll let Yuancheng occupy a good position, if it's too late, it will be gone." Qiao Yuanshun is now ten years old, and after learning to read and settle accounts, he helps to do things at home, and he looks like he is much older than Yuangen.
"I'm not going, I'm going to help the sixth sister do things." Today, Shangliang, the main family is going to take care of a lunch, Yuangen, Man'er and Hu Die are all helping Yunying in the simple kitchen in the courtyard, and they want to send Yuanshun away without even raising their heads.
"Brother Yuanshun, what can I do to get money? When I was on the beam, I picked up ten copper coins, and there was a reward of ten copper coins for helping the sixth sister do things, do you say tell me that it is cost-effective? Compared with the sullen and black-bellied Yuangen, Man'er is more careful, without the constraints of the Jia family, and her lively temperament is gradually revealed.
In addition to crying loudly, the little girl Hu Die laughed happily, thinking that she had been protected too well before. She is a few months older than Man'er, but she is much simpler and naΓ―ve than Man'er, and she has been looking at Man'er everywhere for a few days after coming to Guan's house, listening to Man'er's words, she looked at Man'er with a look of adoration and nodded violently, and then asked more: "Do you want to listen to it first?" β
Man'er doesn't feel anything special about her sister-in-law, but Hu Die's little Lori has white skin like snow, big watery eyes, a high nose bridge, and a red mouth, a unique beauty in the heart of a young man, Qiao Yuanshun was a little dizzy immediately, and 1510 explained:
"It's the chief security officer who came with the official messenger to report the good news. Brother Yuangui and Brother Yuanfu were both admitted to Xiucai. I'll be there later. Now the second grandfather and the second mother-in-law are waiting at the bridge, and after a while, the stone uncle and the hammer uncle will definitely have to scatter the happy money, and it is better to pick one up than to lose one. In the end, even Yunying's mantra was brought out.
"Hu Die is not allowed to go." Hu San helped Master Shangliang carry a few beams to other rooms. I think I heard the movement and came to the kitchen door. Nothing else. just sank his face at Hu Die.
"Brother, no one has seen ......" Hu Die stopped without saying a word under his glare, and hid behind Man'er. Well, well, I'm not going to do it. β
Hu San nodded with satisfaction, but before he could walk away, Yuangen, who was silently peeling potatoes on the side, stood up, "Sixth sister, didn't the third aunt say that she wanted to come over to help?" I don't think she can come over today, but our family still has two chickens for her, or Man'er and I will go and get them back. β
Yun Ying was boiling water and boiling a pot of pigs into the water, and when she heard the words, she remembered that there was a potato roast chicken in the plan, Yang said yesterday that she would come to help, and asked her not to prepare the chicken, seeing that the chicken that should be put into the pot didn't know where it was at this time, so she nodded and responded: "Okay, you can take Man'er and Hu Die together, don't look at the excitement of the bridge for too long." β
Everyone who is the master has to go to get the chicken in person, and the nominal maid Hu Die is still staying at home, Hu San has the heart to refute but is speechless, so he has to turn around and carry a big wooden beam alone as if he is angry with someone, or work in a muffled voice.
On the day of the beam, all the craftsmen were there, and there were two tables of people. Yun Ying adheres to the principle of pragmatism, and it is all a large plate of vegetables and a large plate of meat. What cold pork head meat, steamed fat sausage, stewed pork lungs, fried liver and kidney, and potato roast chicken made a group of people eat with a mouthful of oil and praise. In the past two years, there has never been such a good meal in anyone's house, and the craftsmen are also very energetic after eating a round belly.
finally persevered until it was time to collect the dishes and wash them, and Yang finally came late with a basket, and squeezed Yun Ying aside as soon as he arrived: "Go and burn the fire, I'll wash it." β
In the morning, even if a few Yuangen went quickly and came back, Yunying was tired enough, and she could breathe a sigh of relief when Yang came to help, so she sat down under the stove without prevarication, and did not forget to take the soup and rice left on the side to eat.
"How did you eat?" Yang began to clean up the table, and by the way, she also drove the two little girls Man'er and Hu Die, who had not grown up in her heart, to play elsewhere, posing as if they wanted to gossip with Yunying.
"I was too busy to eat just now. Third aunt, there is still a half-pot of potatoes and roast chicken left for you in the pot over there, do you see if you should let Uncle Quan, Uncle Qi and them come over with the branches and leaves at night, or you will take them away and share them later. Originally, Yun Ying planned three tables, but as a result, none of the Yang family except Yuan Shun came, so Yun Ying had to leave half a pot of rare things for their family.
"What to stay, stay, you guys will eat hot at night. This time Yuanfu and Yuangui are boiled out, as soon as the good news comes, the rich people from ten miles and eight towns have come several times, and finally the village chief came forward, saying that according to the rules of Guan Ping at that time, Ming'er set up a flowing water seat in the village ancestral hall, will there be less food at that time? Yang took a look at the lid of the pot, and when she looked at it, she knew that it was a dish made of poisonous red fruit chili peppers, her taste was not light, and Qiao Qi's daughter-in-law in the house seemed to be pregnant again, and it was better to eat less of this mouth-hurting thing.
"Flowing water seat, my milk didn't cry out for pain?" Yun Ying ate several mouthfuls of soup and rice in a row, her stomach felt a lot better, and she also had time to talk to Yang.
"Your hurt, that's right for people. Some people just want her to take out the coffin book, she doesn't have a word, forget it, don't talk about her, it is estimated that someone will come to their side later, let a few of you go over to do things earlier, and after you eat, you will take the three of them to go around elsewhere, and avoid today, Ming'er estimates that the meal will arrive. "Li and Xiao Li are really not good, on weekdays, they will grind until the time of dinner, pat their buttocks and leave, and never help people do anything.
Okay this time, the village chief arranged the task of the flowing water seat, but where did the Li family, the little Li family and the Luo family who rushed back find someone to help with it, and the Yang family heard that the meaning of their words was wrong, and hurriedly slipped out to report to Yun Ying. It is estimated that the mother over there will only be dressed brightly and swaying around like peacocks, and it is not them who are tired and half dead at that time, she is old and her body is nothing, Yunying is still children, don't work in vain to give people thankless.
Yang really guessed right! Over in the old courtyard, Qiao Yuanfu and Qiao Yuangui discussed the matter of opening the Ming'er flowing water banquet before they arrived home. Qiao Shi and Qiao Hammer are both talented fathers, and they instantly feel that they are much taller, and Qiao Hammer, who is more active, announces the final decision as the host of the meeting.
Qiao Jindan in the big house and Qiao Qi and Qiao Quan in the third room are responsible for buying the meat and vegetables to be used tomorrow; Qiao Yuanhai and Qiao Yuanyang led their respective wives to clean up the old yard; Li didn't dare to command, so he asked Xiao Li and Luo to go out to find the village woman who helped on the Ming'er flowing water mat.
Just as Yang guessed, when the neighbors saw that the two concubines came to invite, they all smiled and immediately offered double gifts, but when it came to tomorrow, one or two of them found excuses to prevaricate, and they didn't invite the last one.
When he said it when he went home, Qiao Hammer was also dumbfounded. At this time, there is no such thing as a banquet chef in the countryside, and they are all helped by the villagers; But now there are only five or six women in the family, and before the words are finished, the Li family spoke: "My grandson was admitted to Xiucai, and my old lady still does cooking work, okay?" β
The Yue clan has always been leaning up, and at this time he also retreated: "Anyway, I am also your elder, the person with the longest status in the Qiao family, do you want to make people laugh?" β
Before Li could speak, Da Luo's over there also shouted: "I don't care, our family Fu'er was finally admitted to a show, my show-talented lady Ming'er has to dress beautifully and brightly, so she doesn't go to the stove and gets covered in putty, I know that I can do it, and I don't know that I think Xiucai has no mother." β
Although Li didn't say it so bluntly, she obviously agreed with Roche's argument when she saw what she meant.
After saying this, the rest of Gan and Mu glanced at each other, covered their stomachs and said at the same time: "I'm afraid I have it, I can't smell the smell of oil smoke!" "It's really worthy of being a concubine, and even the tone of her speech is the same; Yes, the entire second room of Qiao's family was completely detached from the stove.
"What then?" Qiao Hammer look at this, look at that, he also has a daughter-in-law, but unfortunately she is the proprietress of the needlework shop in the town, and she doesn't touch the spring water with her fingers on weekdays, so is it possible to let the family go home and cook tomorrow?
"Isn't there still the third daughter-in-law and her daughter-in-law?" Yue's mouth went to the courtyard of Yang's house, "After eating, I don't see anyone, who is this hiding?" β
"Auntie, you often don't know in the town, Qiao Qi's daughter-in-law's belly is pregnant, can you do things? Moreover, the third aunt is also an elder, and she is closely entangled with the village chief's family, so I am afraid that she will not go to work under the stove. Xiao Li thought about it in his heart, and quickly thought of a few manpower, and asked on behalf of Qiao Hammer: "The third sister of the uncle's mother's family, Ming'er, is always fine, and their Li lame can also help to make a move, why don't you ask Yuanyang to ask for a while later?" In addition, aren't there three babies at home in the wooden family? I heard that there are still two subordinates, and all five of them are called over and Sanni's family, there should be no problem under this stove, right? β
After speaking, he pretended to sigh: "Alas, it's a pity that the wood and the wood daughter-in-law left early, otherwise the two of them would do their best to do this matter." Now there are some useless left, and Ming'er can't help but ask the third aunt to help watch it. β
"Don't mention the shameful unfilial son, it's clean when it's dead! Save the old woman and her son from being poked in the backbone when she is old. The Li family, who was sitting on the top, couldn't hear anyone say that Qiao Mutou, so he didn't shout loudly: "What do you want to do, hurry up and do it!" If anyone delays my good grandson's promotion banquet, I can't spare him! (To be continued......)
