Because he has to leave for the exam in a few days, Zhu Ping'an has to write couplets at home in addition to reading books these days, and he will use couplets at home for the New Year, and it is estimated that he will have to write them himself this year, and the eldest brother will probably want to write them himself in the future, in addition, the eldest brother will also use couplets when he is newly married, so Zhu Ping'an has been writing couplets at home these days.

Couplets to welcome the New Year:

"The sound of firecrackers bids farewell to the old year, and the red plums welcome the new year."

"A harmonious family is a blessing, and the four seasons are safe and the four seasons are spring."

"The family is auspicious, everything is prosperous, and the door welcomes wealth and prosperity."

Writing to the head of interest, Zhu Ping'an also wrote his name into the Spring Festival couplets with a bad taste:

"The country is prosperous, the family is prosperous, the country is prosperous, the old and the young are safe, and the old and young are safe."

Of course, there are also couplets that need to be posted when Big Brother gets married:

"A hundred years of love and love, a thousand miles of marriage."

"The auspicious clouds surround the jade, become a luan, the phoenix accompanies Qin Jin, and the purple air rises to celebrate the new song of the warbler and the swallow."

When writing a newlywed couplet for the eldest brother, his mother Chen came over with a sewing basket, took a bunch of coats and compared them with Zhu Ping'an, and then cut them twice with scissors, and then sat aside to make new clothes for Zhu Ping'an.

"Mother, you've made me two sets of new clothes, it's enough to wear." Zhu Ping'an put down the brush, feeling sorry for his mother Chen's clothes for days, and the dark circles under his eyes came out.

"What do you know, you're going to the feet of the Son of Heaven, how can you make it without a few sets of new clothes, you can't be looked down upon."

Mother Chen threaded the needle and thread in the sun, and at the same time told Zhu Ping'an some things to pay attention to when going out.

"Mother, I'll thread the needle."

Zhu Ping'an saw that his mother Chen tried several times but did not put on the needle, so he put the brush on the inkstone, took the needle and thread from Chen's hand, put it on in front of the sunlight outside the door, and then handed it to Chen.

Chen took the needlework, was very satisfied, and began to do needlework in the warm sun. After doing this for a while, Chan will also put the needle on his hair and rub it twice before continuing to do needlework. Under the sun, the needlework of the clothes is neat and fine. Like fish scales, it ensures that the clothes are durable and strong.

The line in the mother's hand, the wanderer's shirt.

"What are you writing about?"

When Chen made a big prototype of the clothes, he saw that Zhu Ping'an was still writing couplets. I asked.

"Write couplets, these were posted when my eldest brother got married." Zhu Ping'an replied.

Hearing this, Chen became interested and said to Zhu Ping'an:

"Well, what is it, write the couplet of their marriage room to your eldest brother, don't forget your mother when you marry your daughter-in-law."

belch

Ginger is still old and spicy.

Mother had an order, Zhu Ping'an naturally had to obey, and after thinking about it for a while, he picked up a pen and wrote down a couplet:

"Don't forget your mother when you marry a wife. Happiness lasts forever. ”

After listening to Zhu Ping'an read the couplet, her mother Chen was very satisfied, and asked Zhu Ping'an to make a small mark with a brush on the couplet, saying that when the time came, she would let people hang this couplet on the door of the marriage room of the eldest brother Zhu Pingchuan.

Looking at Chen's troubled appearance, Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but want to say: My mother is mighty.

"When the time comes, when you marry a daughter-in-law, you will also have to put it on like this." Chen watched Zhu Ping'an mark this couplet, and then gave Zhu Ping'an another admonition.

"My son will post a few more pairs when the time comes." Zhu Ping'an said with a doggy smile.

Mother Chen was amused by Zhu Ping'an's dog-legged appearance, stretched out her finger and nodded on Zhu Ping'an's head, and said with a smile: "When you are young, your mouth is sweet, and you are not in shape when you lift it." ”

Zhu Ping'an smiled.

"It seems that my mother has to find you a daughter-in-law to take care of you. You don't have a good shape all day long. Seeing this, Chen smiled.

"Then I'll have to find a pretty one for my son."

Zhu Ping'an thought that Chen was joking, so he laughed and laughed without taking it seriously.

"Okay, I'll find you a beautiful fairy-like daughter-in-law." Chen thought of Li Shu from Shanghe Village. Isn't that little girl just pretty like a fairy, so she said with a smile.

Fairy-like?

Isn't that a joke, Zhu Ping'an didn't take it seriously.

In the evening, Zhu's father drove the ox cart home from Gushan Town, and when he was far away, he heard the bell on the neck of the big black cow, and his mother Chen put down the needlework in his hand as soon as he heard the bell. Go out as soon as possible.

"Dad, did you buy it back?"

Before her mother, Chen, reached the door, she asked.

Mother wants my father to buy something, so important. You must know that the mother is to scavenge Zhu's father to drive the money, and she waited for Zhu's father to enter the door before she started, and now that Zhu's father has not entered the door, her mother Chen has gone out.

Zhu Ping'an was a little curious.

"Bought it back."

Father Zhu's voice sounded from outside the door, with the smell of inviting merit.

The big black bull shook the bell very loudly, and the big black bull didn't shake the bell so happily when he arrived at the door of the house in the past, and everything revealed something different from usual.

Wow

A neighing sound suddenly came from outside the door.

Could it be that someone is coming?

Zhu Ping'an walked out of the gate curiously, and then saw Zhu's father talking to his mother Chen at the door, and there was a black horse tied to the side of the ox cart.

The dark horse is about 1.2 or 1.3 meters tall, and it's not tall at all. Black hair, long mane, not handsome, a handful of hair on the horse's head fell down and made a deviation, and covered half of the eye, like a non-mainstream killer Matt, short and frustrated, completely the horses in the herd of slings.

The big black bull was a little unfriendly to the black horse, and kept shaking the bell around his neck to demonstrate.

The black horse is still a little arrogant, and the head of the horse that killed Matt twisted, and his nostrils were a little upside down, ignoring the provocation of the big black bull.

"Dad, how much does this horse cost?" Mother Chen asked.

"Ten taels of silver." Father Zhu untied the black horse from the ox cart, brushed the mane of the black horse and replied.

"What about ten taels?" Mother Chen's flesh was a little painful, and the ten taels of silver were about to catch up with the money earned in a year when the family was not separated in the past.

"This is still an acquaintance, if someone else would have to pay more than a tael of silver." Father Zhu explained without losing his invitation.

"Really?"

As soon as she heard that it was cheaper than someone else's purchase of more than one or two silver, her mother Chen was a little happy, looked at the black horse on the side, and said with satisfaction, "Well, it's good to have this horse, and it's much easier for Yu'er to go to the capital to catch the exam." ”

It's good to have this horse, and it will be much easier for Yu'er to go to the capital to catch the exam, so it turns out that her mother asked Zhu's father to buy this horse for herself to enter Beijing to catch the exam.

A gust of north wind blew, rolling up the dust on the ground and blowing on Zhu Ping'an's body, the wind of the cold winter wax moon, but it felt like a spring breeze, full of warmth. (To be continued.) )
