After the lively flowing water banquet, all families welcome the New Year. People's faces were full of joy, and even the Spring Festival couplets pasted on the courtyard door were extremely red and purple after they entered their eyes. The bell house is more lively than usual, and during the New Year, the adults do not confine the children, and they come and go in the front yard and back yard.

The fifth old man and father and son were playing chess in the corner of the courtyard, and the fifth lady took her daughter-in-law and Wen Chunyi to sit in the opposite corner, and the five of them were talking and playing in their hands. According to the words of the fifth lady: "Everyone is a person who can't be idle, and they can't just remember to talk, and they can forget to play a few more strings by the way." "The courtyard on the side of the Zhong Mansion is lively, and the courtyard on the other side of the Liu Mansion is also lively, and the brothers and sisters of the Liu family come and go through the New Year. There was something to talk about on both sides, but now they don't go out, directly across the courtyard wall, and the children shout a few times.

The fifth lady was very reluctant to be a neighbor like Liu Zhai, she sighed with Wen Chunyi and said, "Liu family, if you leave like this, I'm afraid that the chances of meeting will become less and less." For example, the three sisters-in-law looked at Wen Chunyi, and their faces showed even more reluctance, but the three of them didn't dare to remind the fifth lady. The third master of the Zhong family and Zhong Chichun were playing chess in the room, and the chess game had become clear, and the third master of the Zhong family showed a defeat. His expression deepened, his fall became more slow, and his face was visibly unhappy when he heard the sound of children playing outside during the pause.

He said to Zhong Chichun with a cold face: "Look at that woman's housekeeping ability, it is to indulge in the children's presumptuousness, which affects my mood and spoils my chess skills." Zhong Chichun raised his eyes to look at him. Easily left the last son, smiled and said, 'Father, you lost. The third master of the Zhong family sighed helplessly and said, "No, I've been with you so many times, and nine times out of ten I lost, and I didn't have any energy." Zhong Chichun looked at him with a smile and said, "Father, you are uncertain, and you want to let me go." will lose again and again. ”

The third master of the Zhong family looked at him and waved his hand. Say, "You don't have to say these comforting words to me, I am happy to lose and I can afford to lose." Your grandfather told me before that I don't have a lot of talent in these areas. Compared to the average person. Naturally, I am far superior to them. But you have to meet talented people. I'm a little bit inferior. The three of you brothers, you are more talented than your two brothers, and the family is looking forward to your stable career. In the future, when necessary, I can also bring my nephews one or two. Zhong Chichun nodded lightly, shook his head and said: "In terms of career, I can only do my best, as for the result, it has never been fateful." ”

The third lady of the Zhong family said with disdain on the side: "You weren't dazzled by that woman at the beginning, and you were bent on welcoming her in, and you wouldn't fall to the point where your wife can't borrow her strength at all." You have to listen to us, take a little delay in family affairs, and discuss family affairs after your scientific examination, at least your wife will not be a woman from this kind of family. Zhong Chichun frowned and looked at her and said, "Mother, how can Wenfu not be worthy of our Zhong family?" You're too biased. Besides, I am an upright man, if I need the advantage of my wife's mother's family in everything, this official might as well be inappropriate. ”

After the third elder of the Zhong family shook his head lightly at the indignant expression, he looked at Zhong Chichun and said, "Your mother is thinking about you, but she doesn't like what she said. In Wenfu, this generation relies on your uncle to support the façade, and your uncle is a person with a straight temperament, and he is affected by his brother's affairs, so he has no chance to improve. The matter of the six masters of Wenfu has made the future of the next generation of Wenfu difficult to improve for at least ten years. You married a woman from Wenfu, and your mother was always worried that it would drag down your future. The mind of a mother, now that you have a child, you should be able to understand one or two in your heart. ”

Zhong Chichun's intimate father-son relationship with Brother Chen's son, the third master and wife of the Zhong family saw it in their eyes, and sometimes they would persuade him not to spoil the child too much. Zhong Chichun only had a deep feeling of powerlessness, he thought about it and said to them: "Father, mother, all the silver I brought back is in your hands, and now we eat and use eighteen silver taels, think about it, if you change to another woman to be your daughter-in-law, in the case that the husband's family has never given it, how many people can be as generous and calm and careless as her?" ”

After the third master and wife of the Zhong family were silent, they all looked at him with disbelief on their faces. The third lady of the Zhong family opened her mouth and said: "You can't only have such a small amount of silver taels, you have returned from two years of traveling outside, and you have given back more silver taels than this time." Zhong Chichun listened to her words, and immediately came to his senses, he laughed lightly, and said with a sigh: "I see, my mother thinks that I have given another eighteen silver for the family?" Unfortunately, I didn't give her a silver tael. At that time, I came back from a trip and was able to bring back so many taels of silver for a reason. Although I refused to accept any more silver taels from the family at that time, when I went out, my grandfather, grandmother, and uncle still forced me to give me a lot of silver taels.

On the way back from my travels, when I had no silver in my hand, I met my second aunt's mother's family. They received a letter from my second uncle, heard about me, sent someone to look for me, and welcomed me to live at home for several days. In those days, I was happy and painted a lot of pictures. Originally, I was a guest and gave them all the paintings. As a result, the second aunt's mother's family, who knew how to run a business very well, sold the paintings to me at a high price, and when I left, when I was not paying attention, they stuffed them into my baggage and brought them back to me.

I remember that after I came back, I told my family about this matter, and I specially told you about this incident when I handed over the silver taels to you. And I have been working outside for the past two years, and the daily things are complicated and heavy, and sometimes even life is easy to be fleeting, I have the heart to pick up the strokes、、、、、、" Zhong Chichun looked at the third master and wife of the Zhong family, he suddenly had no mood to say more, just got up and strode away. The third master of the Zhong family sat silently on the main seat, and the third lady of the Zhong family approached his side, seeing that he didn't react for a long time, she reached out and nudged his shoulder in a hurry. The third master of the Zhong family raised his eyes to look at her, and said in a deep voice: "Didn't I tell you, don't mention the matter of the silver two now, why do you want to mention it at this time?" The third lady of the Zhong family sighed and said, "I just can't be angry that he is now dedicated to protecting that woman, so I will say it." We raised him so big, not to mention the grace of nurturing or anything, even the grace of birth is greater than the sky. (To be continued......)
