When the two staff members and their families entered the courtyard gate, they happened to hear what they were discussing. Immediately, Mr. Chief of Staff clapped his hands and said: "Such a happy event, it can be without the Zhong family, so it is natural to participate in it." Seeing that the two staff gentlemen agreed, the fifth lady immediately nodded down, and Wen Chunyi hurriedly sent Leng Ruo to talk to the people in the old courtyard.

The two staff members rushed to the mouth of the alley and registered the number of people in the house. Zhong Mingran came back with his younger brothers earlier than usual, their faces were full of joy, and they informed the family of the happy event, and later heard that the family was going to join the flowing water banquet, the four children jumped up with joy, and the four of them rushed to the mouth of the alley with great interest. Sister Le kept her mouth flat for a long time, and when she saw that no one paid attention to her when she was her brother, she hurriedly took the initiative to come over and reach out and grab Zhong Mingran and not let go. Zhong Mingran bent down and picked up his sister, smiled and said to Zhong Chiyong's wife: "Auntie, don't worry, I will take Sister Haole." ”

With a slightly hesitant look on his wife's face, Zhong Chi looked at the dumplings in her arms and whispered, "The dumplings are still young, so I'll be at home." The fifth lady immediately objected, saying: "Tuanzi is not afraid of life, take him to the lively scene, and he will be brave enough in the future." The fifth master and the people from the old courtyard rushed over, and everyone had a happy smile on their faces. The fifth old man smiled and said to Wen Chunyi: "The gate has been closed over there, and the old man of the Tang family has stayed to guard the courtyard." Wen Chunyi laughed and said: "I've heard that the flowing water banquet will not limit the time, and whoever finishes the meal first will change him to take the next round of meals." ”

Mr. Staff, the little staff, came back with the registered people. The old man looked enthusiastic. He smiled and looked at the people in the yard. The fifth master greeted him. The man immediately photographed each other with the fifth master, and the man smiled and said, "Brother Zhong, you will go to dinner later, and we will sit together and talk well." The fifth old man nodded with a smile and said, "Brother, on the day of great joy, we have to have a good time." The man looked at the people in the courtyard and said to the little staff, "The people in your courtyard will be in the second round of dining." If you can't make it to the first round of meals, you don't have to rush there. ”

The fifth master smiled on the side and said, "We have prepared a few dishes at home. I don't need it now. Can you serve it to the chef and stir-fry? The man laughed and said, "Take out the dishes, and I'll write them down." Leng Ruo hurriedly led someone to bring out a few vegetable baskets, and the man took a closer look. Nodding his head, he said, "There is meat, fish, and vegetarian dishes." I'll try to arrange it for you. Let's see if it's your turn. He later reminded: "Oh, and you'd better bring your own dishes and chopsticks for dinner, because there are not enough dishes and chopsticks for a while." ”

The one who registered. After recording the number of dishes, he recorded the number of people, and then dragged the little staff and the fifth master away, and the three of them took the vegetable basket by the way. Zhong Mingran and Little Brother Liu rushed back at this time, and when they saw the people in the courtyard, the two of them smiled and found the fifth lady and said, "We have occupied the table, everyone hurry up and go over to eat." It's so lively, I've already eaten a round, Mr. Big said, I want everyone to hurry up. Zhong Chiru hurriedly beckoned the children in the old yard to follow behind, and he stayed behind to guard the yard. Wen Chunyi dismissed the arrangement of leaving the boys, and ran out with the same joy as they were.

The fifth lady and Wen Chunyi looked at them from behind, and said with a smile: "In the end, they are still children, and there is such an innocence." "The three old men of the Zhong family like to accompany them when they go out, and the boys are not very old, and they are often the candidates to be left behind. Zhong Mingran and Liu Xiaodi rushed out, and after a while, the two retreated back, and kept retreating to the side of the fifth lady and Wen Chunyi. Zhong Mingran whispered to the two of them: "Grandmother, aunt, Mr. Xiao sponsored thirty taels of silver on behalf of Zhong Zhai. Aunt Liu sponsored five taels of silver. I looked, and our family had the most money. Mr. Xiao also said that if there is too much deficit after settlement, the aunt will be willing to continue to contribute. ”

As he spoke, he raised his eyes to look at Wen Chunyi, and nodded lightly when he saw her smile. There was a look of surprise in his eyes, Wen Chunyi looked sideways and inadvertently saw his expression, she smiled and said: "Mr. Xiao's handling of things has always been extremely thoughtful and proper, but brother, you can learn more on the side, it will be of great benefit." "With so many people in the Zhong family going to eat the flowing water banquet, she can't have any expression. Wen Chunyi only felt that his heart was much more relaxed all of a sudden, and thirty taels of silver could do a lot of things, but he couldn't exchange it for the same pleasure in front of him. Wen Chunyi is very glad to have two experienced staff members around her, who can often help repair her external deficiencies.

The fifth lady nodded with a smile on the side and said, "Brother Ran, your aunt is right, when you are free, you are often close to the two gentlemen, and you can learn a lot of skills from them, they are all capable people." Zhong Mingran had gone through some things, and he was originally more mature than people of the same age, but now he heard the mention of the two elders, and a look of thought flashed in his eyes. And Liu Xiaodi said on the side: "My mother also said that the two gentlemen are capable people, and when the little gentleman came out with the silver, my mother immediately followed a piece of silver." The Fifth Lady and Wen Chunyi exchanged glances with a smile, both of them thought that Lady Liu was a rare smart person, but usually she disguised her shrewdness with her simple side.

Liu Xiaodi and Zhong Mingran laughed and wanted to run forward, the fifth lady looked at their figures, smiled at Wen Chunyi and said: "I have only heard people mention the liveliness of the flowing water banquet before, and I never thought that I would be able to follow the excitement one day. Wen Chunyi nodded sympathetically, they were still far away from the mouth of the alley, they could already hear the movement over there, and they could also see the people walking out of there, all of their faces were full of smiles. When they saw the men entering, they would wave their hands at them and say, "We will come back later, and those who want to stay, don't leave for a while, we will have a lively night." ”

"Okay, we'll be with you to the end." In a very rough way of getting along, the fifth lady followed the women in front of her with Wen Chunyi, and heard them laugh and say: "Today, the two chefs personally stir-fry the dishes, and my children's father said that we can enjoy such a time by taking advantage of the happy day, let me bring the children to come quickly, lest they get tired for a while, and they will have to cook in the hands of other people." They looked back at the fifth lady and Wen Chunyi, and greeted them happily and said, "Grandma of the Zhong family, lady of the Zhong family, you are also here." The fifth lady nodded with a smile, Wen Chunyi looked at their smiling faces, and said, "On such a happy day, the people of our family naturally want to have fun with everyone."
