On the spacious street of Chaoyang Dongsheng in Huangqu Town, people come and go, and the sound of selling is endless. On the road, the children were clean and the smoke curled from the house, and as a local gentry, the town hung red lanterns early in the morning. The main street of the town is peaceful and prosperous to welcome the new year.

After following Mrs. Lu for several days, the two women had obvious changes. But for a few days, she still looked like a village girl who didn't know the general situation, and her demeanor was charming. Dressing up seems to have changed, especially Xiuwen, who is enchanting and colorful, with her good appearance and graceful posture, she envy others. In the past few days, Mrs. Lu has been able to pass on the true biography, but for Yulian, this time is worse than death. Xiuwen's changes are in his eyes, and these things taught by Mrs. Lu are becoming more and more wrong.

The small courtyard where they lived had become the residence of the two, and the maids and servants in the house no longer regarded the two as outsiders. was accepted as a personal disciple by the old woman, and there was a young lady in the house. Very early in the morning, Lu Zhaoming got up very late, but his wife was very early, and it seemed that he had not seen his wife with a smile on her face, and she had been staying in that yard all day these days. I almost didn't see him at night, and I was a little surprised. It seems that Madame has never liked men, and it is likely that her mind has changed when she is older.

Lu Zhaoming lay in bed every night and stayed awake last night, and kept secretly looking at his old wife with many wrinkles at the corners of his eyes. It's still so good-looking, I can't help but feel a little proud, Lao Tzu's vision was good back then. can get back such a good-looking woman as a wife, and several sons don't look like their own mothers, they have always been the handsome descendants of the town, and their appearance on the rivers and lakes is more famous than swordsmanship. It's just that I'm a little unwilling these days, such a big man can't see in front of me, what is so beautiful about those two little girls, they run faster every day than they see beautiful jewelry.

Lu Zhaoming, whose wife had just gone out of the room and pretended to be asleep, opened his eyes and said, "Am I old?" After listening to it, he said: "It's old, and I have my grandson, so I won't be old." "I rolled over before falling asleep. In the past few years, it has been much easier these days, and it is good not to take care of it, and no one wakes up in the morning.

Mrs. Lu only entered the courtyard when she heard a sound of the piano, and stood outside the courtyard gate and listened quietly to the end of the song before entering. originally thought it was Xiuwen playing the piano, but for a few days, Yulian was sometimes disappointed. The knowledge taught seems to be passive learning, not as well-behaved as Xiuwenlai. As long as someone is willing to teach, they are willing to learn. Among them, no matter how hard it is, she can endure her temperament and continue to learn, but Yulian is stubborn and unwilling to learn. Especially in this science, there is a room in the room, and Yulian doesn't seem to care about this at all. On the contrary, Xiuwen studied very seriously, and Mrs. Lu was a little unable to teach her disciples.

Hearing the sound of Yulian's piano, it seemed to be telling his heart, and he hesitantly approached the courtyard and said, "Yulian knows the rhythm of music. ”

Loosen the strings and said: "When I was a child, my aunt taught me some, but I have never had a piano, and I can only play this one, and I don't remember the rhythm very clearly now." ”

Mrs. Lu said, "Yes, this song is simple but it can tell the heart very well. Do you want to learn the piano? ”

Yulian was a little dazed and said, "Does the master dislike Yulian's stupid knowledge that can't be taught?" ”

Looking at the well-behaved girl, the things she knew were all at odds with the rivers and lakes back then. I don't know how many young heroes have been defeated under the pomegranate skirt, but those things are almost useless when they marry a wife. Before I met Lu Zhaoming, I only felt that men in the world were average, but once I met a man I really liked, and the man happened to like me, it seemed that many things were useless.

Yulian helped Mrs. Lu sit down, looked at Mrs. Lu's clear eyes and nodded gently. Mrs. Lu said: "How can the master dislike it, no matter how stupid the apprentice is, he should love the master." I have walked through the rivers and lakes in my life as a teacher, and I have also been envied and pursued. In the end, I married an old man, this knowledge is not a fox, but a knowledge to improve one's self-cultivation. Just like a martial artist refining bones, cultivating the spirit of courage and strength. It is a truth for scholars to study and cultivate righteousness, but this kung fu is to cultivate women's femininity. As I explained to you a few days ago, every human body is a treasure. But beauty is different, so you need different things. These are the foundations, and maybe it will be useless at all in the future and it will also be a kind of cultivation. ”

"It's like the children of a wealthy businessman, even if they don't know anything in their lifetime, they can get more than others. It's just that if you want to live a better life, you still have to learn a lot of things. Many people may think that it is good to learn to calculate and do business, so why bother to read and learn words. Once there is a pursuit, there is only one other style, the literati want to resonate and keep reading, the martial artist wants to make meritorious contributions or the world is invincible, and the hard training day and night. Once a person has a goal, he will learn faster, and Xiuwen seems to have what he wants, so no matter what the teacher teaches, he learns quickly. It's not that Xiuwen is much smarter than you, but with your heart. At first, you learn very quickly, but then you fall behind, and you can see that you don't like this. ”

Looking at the master, he said seriously: "The master taught me to learn the piano." ”

"And there's more."

"I also want to read and learn from the sages."

Mrs. Lu said with a smile: "It's okay to learn the piano, but it's okay to be a teacher of reading and composing poetry." There is a private school teacher at home, and you can go to study. Qin as a teacher can teach you, but others must also be studied seriously. ”

Gently rubbing Yulian's face and said, "Saying that today is Chinese New Year's Eve, go out with Xiuwen to relax your mind." ”

Xiuwen stood in front of the door for a long time, although he didn't hear the words, he wore light makeup and walked as if he knew it early in the morning. took Yulian's hand and said, "Let's go, I haven't been shopping for a long time." ”

Mrs. Lu watched the two apprentices leave, and smiled lightly, as if remembering that her old man had not cleaned up for several days. It's been wild these days, and I'm drunk every night. His face became hideous, and he strode towards the yard, and the maids around him were a little scared. Whoever dares to speak loudly in the rivers and lakes of his own master, even the official family must be respected. Only his own wife can live in it, which master does not have a few concubines, and only the master is so afraid that his wife does not even dare to go to the Qinglou.

Walking on the street, Xiuwen seemed to like this feeling, and Yulian watched the people coming and going on the street. The mood is also much more comfortable, and the red lanterns on the street are pasted with the word blessing on every house. The open shop is pasted with all kinds of Spring Festival couplets, and there is no sound of firecrackers in my ears. There are also adults smiling and scolding naughty children who run away, and merchants shouting on the street keep selling. Xiuwen stood next to the jewelry and stared at a vermilion hairpin, looking left and right, only to blame the shyness.

Yulian, who was guarding Xiuwen's side, looked at the pedestrians on the road, and the man selling sugar gourds was carrying a large handful. Yulian kept staring, remembering that when she was a child, her father would bring back a string every time he entered the city. Sweet and sour is delicious. It's just that I haven't eaten it for many years, and I want to reach out for a bunch and be a little reluctant. A little girl kept circling around the man, and the man smiled and said, "The little girl has a bunch, it's delicious." ”

The child seems to be reluctant to hold the copper plate in his hand, which can buy a lot of things. After buying a sugar gourd, there was no more, and I looked at the child with a blank eye. A man took a string and handed it to the child. The little girl quickly smiled and licked the icing greedily. The man squatted down and said, "Is it delicious?" ”

He shouted with a smile: "Daddy is so delicious." The man put the little girl on his shoulder.

The man looks like his father, and when he was a child, his father liked to put himself around his neck. I still remember the most common words I said when I was a child: "Daddy, I want to ride a big horse and stand high." "Eating a sugar gourd in his mouth, he kept swinging to the children passing by, as if he was showing off that he had something delicious and you didn't have it.

Yulian remembered the warm picture, and the smile on her face was extremely beautiful. Suddenly felt that there was something his shoulder, and Xiuwen in front of him kept staring at the smirking Yulian. A young man's dark face appeared in front of him, and the smell of sweat on his body was very strong. shouted, "Sister." ”

Frightened, Yulian almost sat on the ground when she thought about it, Xiuwen pushed the boy away and said, "Why did you go, I haven't taken a bath for many days since I was so stinky." ”

Seeing that there was no clean boy on his whole body, he just smirked, Yulian looked at it carefully for a long time before recognizing the young man and said, "Xiao Ming, you are back." ”

The young man nodded stupidly and stretched out his hand to grab Yulian, and the horse behind him was covered in dust. Said: "I am my sister's only relative, and I will definitely accompany my sister for Chinese New Year's Eve." Yes, Sister Wen. Finding Xiuwen's dislike, he pushed Wen Xiaoming away and said with disgust: "It stinks, hurry up and wash it." ”

Yulian pushed Wen Xiaoming away and said, "That's it, I don't like cleanliness at all, and I don't know how many times I say it." The two girls walked away, leaving the boy alone smirking. It seems that the two sisters are more beautiful, but I don't know where they look good. I just think my sister looks so beautiful when she is stunned, if she smiles, she won't change even if she is in the world.

Wen Xiaoming, who washed and changed into clean clothes at night, sat on the steps with Lu Zhaoming, and looked at the granddaughter who was sitting in the pavilion and talking about his daughter's family dialect from a distance, as well as Xiuwen Yulian. said: "Xiao Ming, my granddaughter is not good-looking." ”

But the fifteen-year-old boy said sincerely: "It's very good-looking." ”

"Is it good to be your daughter-in-law?"

The boy said, "It's not good, it's not as good-looking as my sister." Unwilling to take care of the old man, he ran towards the pavilion. The sound of firecrackers came from the streets and alleys, the lights on the road were bright, and the maids and servants in the house prepared this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. The old woman saw the old man sitting alone, stepped forward and put her cloak on the old man, and said, "The night wind hurts you, go back." The old man held his wife's hand, and looked at the old face still so good.

There is no curfew in the city, and the streets are brightly lit with pedestrians. Liu Zhixing held the wine jar in his hand, and Yang Chen staggered in front. From time to time, I looked at the girls on the road, and it was very strange that Liu Zhixing didn't glance at the little beauty who had just passed by. I touched it just now, and I felt pretty good, but the little girl didn't react. wanted to stop Liu Zhixing and walked away, as if he didn't see it.

Yang Chen said: "Xiao Ming is in the palace, Lin Zhong doesn't know that he will come back, and the fourth prince will be left with the two of us." Don't call your subordinates out, I've heard that Moncinjo is quite powerful during this time. ”

Liu Zhixing still didn't hear it, and said, "I'm going home." ”

Watching Liu Zhixing walk away, Yang Chen shouted with the support of a group of fox friends and dog friends: "Isn't it just keeping the New Year?" Still not brothers. I saw Liu Zhixing waving his hand and walking away. The scenery on the road seems to be nothing, and the ground illuminated by the red lantern at the door of the house is red. looked at his father and brother who were guarding the hall, and the little sister was sitting next to him. The family seems to be just waiting for him, and Xiaoxiao wants to go over and call the second brother just because his mother and father are here. Naturally, we must abide by the rules, and it is the rule of the family to keep the New Year. It's just that last year, the second brother was not at home and there was one less person, and he didn't return on Chinese New Year's Eve, thinking that there would be no second brother at the beginning of the new year. Now that he is back, it is just that his father has a straight face, and everyone does not dare to speak loudly, so they can only drink some wine.

Standing at the door, Liu Zhixing sat quietly in his place and did not speak, looking at the table with only dishes and wine, but no dumplings. After taking a seat, the mother instructed the maid not far away, and soon the dumplings were served. A full plate of dumplings looked extremely beautiful, but no one touched it. Suddenly, firecrackers burst out of the window, and the exploding fireworks lit up the land. The sound of firecrackers The new year has arrived, and the fragrant dumplings are delicious. Liu Zhixing knew that everyone was doing well this New Year, and the war in Nanjing was over. It's just whether she is doing well and whether she also has dumplings to eat.
