"Fourth sister can get up?"

"Young lady Hui, not yet."

"How can you be so lazy, I'll call her."

Yesterday it was late when I entered the house, and my father still took the third brother into the palace to face the saint, so I bathed and rested early, and slept dreamless until dawn, and listened to the conversation outside the house, like thunder, which made my scalp numb. My eyes immediately widened like copper bells, and what caught my eye was the delicate carved South China Sea pear blossom wood bed and my sister-in-law's tender smile, and I rubbed it up: "Sister-in-law, why did you come in?" ”

"The slave family came to wake up my sister." The sister-in-law smiled.

"So early?"

"It's not early, it's already three quarters of the hour, and my father-in-law is waiting for my sister to have breakfast!"

"It's only three quarters? It's not dawn yet! "I've never gotten up so early," Sister-in-law, you go and tell your father that I'm not going to eat, so you don't have to wait for me. ”

The sister-in-law's smiling face disappeared suddenly, and she panicked: "How can my sister say that?" Don't let the elders wait for a long time, today's husband is on vacation, it's rare for the family to have a meal together, and my sister gets up quickly! ”

I had to get up slowly and call Shangqian Rou and my sister-in-law to go to the front hall for breakfast. I still live in the place where I lived when I was a child, to the front hall to pass through two courtyards, although this general's mansion is almost the same as the prospect, but it is much more exquisite, the pavilions and pavilions are exquisitely elegant, the corridor of the pool hall echoes with it, the size of the rockery, the jade is exquisitely adapted to local conditions, a few flowering magnolia plants are dotted among them, the green trees are shady, the more people look at the more familiar, think about it carefully, this is actually a miniature version of the lotus mountain.

"Sister-in-law, did you arrange this garden? It's just wonderful! ”

"My sister laughed, how could the head of the slave elm come up with such a beautiful beauty," her eyes sparkled with stars, and her tone was full of pride, "It was designed by the husband himself." ”

"Sister-in-law, can I ask you something?"

"Sister, please speak."

I finally mustered up the courage to ask the words that I had been holding all night: "Aren't you tired of talking like this?" ”

My sister-in-law stopped, and I almost bumped into it, and I saw that her big eyes were full of steam: "But what did the slave say wrong?" ”

I really want to slap myself twice: "No, no, no, no ......"

"But what did the slave do wrong?"

"No, no, no......"

"Then why did my sister say that? But the slave family ......"

I hurriedly covered her mouth: "Sister-in-law, you are great, go your own way and let others say go!" ”

The sister-in-law burst into tears and laughed: "My sister laughed, how can the slave family be as good as you say." ”

I:......

Xu I have too little knowledge, and when I think that the women in Dijing are so twisted when they speak, I only feel that my head is buzzing, and I think that if Chenglan is my sister-in-law, I don't have to work so hard.

Cheng Lan is the only daughter of the owner of the village twenty miles outside Biluo City, although she grew up in a bandit den since she was a child, it does not affect her to grow into a disaster for the country and the people, of course, it is incomparable to me.

The second and third brothers all denied my idea, they actually thought that Cheng Lan was more beautiful than me, and I think this was probably because I had a greasy pork knuckle stuffed in my mouth when I first met Cheng Lan. At that time, the second brother and the third brother each held a pig's ear in their hands, and expressed solemn protest against me throwing the pig's tail to Peach Blossom to eat, and the eldest brother was wielding his little golden knife to cut the tenderloin down piece by piece.

Cheng Lan came at this time, she was dressed in white clothes, stepping on the leaves without a trace, and stabbed straight at the eldest brother with a sword flower, fortunately the eldest brother dodged in time, the golden knife in his hand flew out, and the two soldiers collided with each other to make a flash, Cheng Lan's sword was inserted into the feet of the peach blossom, and the peach blossom was frightened and got into my arms with her tail.

Oh, I forgot to mention, Peach Blossom is a big wolf dog raised by her mother before her death, and her status in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion is second only to her father.

Seeing this, the eldest brother hurriedly protected me and Peach Blossom behind him, looked at Cheng Lan, and frowned: "Who in Miss Cheng's family has passed away?" ”

Cheng Lan stumbled, and her face was flushed: "You Ziluo, you dare to curse me?!" ”

"Why is the girl so vegan?" The eldest brother was puzzled.

I saw that Cheng Lan was already trembling with anger, and hurriedly said: "She didn't wear linen and filial piety, probably not dead." ”

For some reason, Cheng Lan trembled even more when she heard my words, and finally she closed her eyes and took a deep breath: "You have eaten my stone." ”

I looked at each other with the second brother and the third brother, and the third brother plucked a dog's tail and picked his teeth while saying, "This girl, we didn't eat stones, my eldest brother shot a wild boar and roasted it to eat, why don't you come and taste it too?" ”

Cheng Lan's eyes turned red when she heard this: "The wild boar you eat is a stone!" ”

I was shocked with a few brothers, it turned out that this Cheng Lan had no other preferences, usually like to raise wild boars as pets, it just so happened that the eldest brother was very interested in taking us out hunting, so it happened that the wild boar she raised was roasted.

After that, my second brother and third brother and I made a profound summary of this sudden incident, and agreed that in this matter, we and Cheng Lan's responsibility can be said to be half, we should not kill pigs and not look at the owner, but as a delicate girl, others are walking dogs and cats at her age, and she goes in and out with a hundred catties of black wild boars, which can only be said that the picture is too beautiful and no one dares to see it.

In the end, we reached a settlement with Cheng Lan, the eldest brother promised to invite Cheng Lan to the most expensive restaurant in Biluo City, Miaoweiju to eat and make amends, I and the third brother to go to private school did not show up, according to the second brother said that the stone was her father from the mountain to bring back not long after the little suckling pig, originally kept to raise the village for the New Year to slaughter and eat, but we were the first to board, is a person will be annoyed and angry.

The third brother and I both nodded yes, thinking that if we could leave her a pig's trotter at that time, maybe she would feel a little better.

The second brother disagreed: "I think the eldest brother and Cheng Lan must have something, I heard that the eldest brother likes plain women, she only wore white clothes that day, I never thought that she was said to be a dead person in the family, and we also ate her love pig, so we were naturally unhappy." ”

At that time, I was young and didn't know what it was, but when I understood, Chengjiazhai was destroyed for some reason, Cheng Lan didn't know where to go, and the eldest brother accidentally injured his muscles and bones, and he could no longer dance with a sword and sword, and his good kung fu was abolished.

Later, the eldest brother studied hard, even in the middle of the three yuan, was transferred back to the imperial capital to serve in the ministry, and married the current wife.

Time flies like a white horse.

As I was recalling, when I arrived in the front hall, I saw my father and eldest brother sitting in a precarious position, and the third brother yawned beside me, presumably just like me.

"Fourth sister, did you sleep well last night?" The eldest brother greeted me warmly, "Come, come and sit at the eldest brother's side." ”

"No!" The sister-in-law exclaimed, "The husband is the head of the family, and he should accompany his father to sit at the table, and the third sister should sit at the second seat." ”

The eldest brother's hand fell, and the third brother rolled his eyes and pulled me next to him: "Ah Mo just sit next to me." ”

The sister-in-law smiled unnaturally: "That's fine." ”

If we want to make food for us, how have we ever received such courtesy? They asked her to sit down and eat together, but the sister-in-law refused: "The slave family and other women are not allowed to go to the main table according to the rules, the father-in-law and the husband's third brother and four sisters eat first, and the slave family will make vegetables first, and then eat at the second table." ”

Sure enough, there was a small table next to it with some simple breakfasts.

One sentence made me very nervous: "How can I not know that there is such a rule?" ”

The sister-in-law said: "My sister has not been in the imperial capital for many years, so naturally I don't know. ”

"Could it be that the women of Chengdijing know about it?"

"Ordinary people don't know about slaves, but all the daughters of official eunuchs have taught their grandmothers to teach these rules, otherwise if you get married, your husband's family will laugh at your mother-in-law's family."

The third brother sneered and whispered to me: "This means that you don't have a tutor." ”

The sister-in-law actually knelt down with a thud, her pear blossoms brought rain, and she burst into tears: "The third brother is not strange, the slave family has no such intention!" ”

My third brother and I were grabbing chicken legs, and she was so shocked that we threw our chopsticks, and for a while the whole front hall was quiet and even the sound of chicken legs falling to the ground could be heard clearly.

"Big, big, big, sister-in-law......" The impact was too great, and the third brother's fair face was visibly reddened, and he stammered when he spoke.

What broke the silence was the sound of the eldest brother's chewing, probably to the crispy bones, gurgling, and extremely loud.

Daddy's brows quickly furrowed: "Ziluo, when did your father teach you such rules?" Usually you sit and your daughter-in-law stands, and your daughter-in-law watches when you eat? ”

The eldest brother looked innocent: "Father, on weekdays, the child and Huaimeng eat in their own yard, and they have never divided the table, and the child doesn't know that there is such a rule!" ”

The sister-in-law knelt down to her father again, the pear blossoms brought rain, and tears fell: "Father-in-law doesn't blame the husband, it's all the daughter-in-law's fault, usually only the husband and daughter-in-law are at home, just eat and eat, but now the father-in-law and his younger brothers and sisters have come to Dijing thousands of miles away, and the daughter-in-law dare not slack off, so she specially arranged breakfast in the front hall, and never thought that she would make her father angry, and the daughter-in-law really shouldn't be!" ”

Daddy was so shocked that his jaw was about to drop: "Huai, Huai, Huai, Huai, Huaimeng, I, I, I'm not ......"

The eldest brother wiped the oil on his mouth, and knelt down in front of his sister-in-law with a plop: "Huaimeng, it's all my husband's fault!" It's your husband's fault that you don't know you so well after being in Beijing for three years! ”

My third brother and I were stunned again: Is this our calm, steady, honest and reliable eldest brother?!

"The husband works hard as an official in the court, and he is a slave ......"

"Alright, alright! There are so many things to eat! Daddy said impatiently, "The old man sits in front of the boss, and the You family doesn't have so many rules." ”

"Daddy ......"

"I've been a martial artist for generations, and I don't have those red tapes, it's very annoying!" Daddy waved his hand, "Eat, eat!" ”

I saw that my sister-in-law still had tears in her eyes, and comforted her: "Sister-in-law, Daddy didn't mean you, he has always been informal. ”

"The slave family knows," the sister-in-law didn't know where to pull out a white veil and wiped her eyes, "The slave family sat at the master's table for the first time, and they were very moved. ”

Daddy hurriedly You Lu picked up a piece of jujube cake and gave it to his sister-in-law: "Old family, your father's Ministry of Rites Shangshu is my courtier, and you are the eldest daughter who has been pampered since childhood, and you are married to my You family. ”

"Ahem! Cough! Cough! "I was eating crystal shrimp dumplings, and my face was red when I heard the words, and I was busy shouting Qianrou, "Water!" Water! ”

Qianrou hurriedly handed over a glass of water, I looked at the cup, it was a colorful glass cup, the official kiln only fired one in three months, one cost five hundred taels, five people on the table, one for each person! I originally thought that only my yard was the furniture of Huanghuali in the South China Sea, but when I entered the front hall, I found that the furniture of the General's Mansion was Huanghuali, which is a courtyard with seven entrances and seven exits! Think back to the pavilions and pavilions in the courtyard and the small lotus mountain, and this breakfast full of chicken, fish and snacks...... I really can't understand my father's repeated emphasis on "quite bitter".

And also! The eldest brother has only been three years and is the servant of the third grade, many people may not be able to climb to this position for ten years, whether this official is big or small Daddy, don't you have a number in your heart?

"Big brother, is your money enough to maintain these furniture?"

The eldest brother smiled innocently: "These are all rewarded by His Majesty, and there will be craftsmen in the palace to maintain them when the time comes." ”

Daddy bowed in the direction of the palace: "Your Majesty, Longen, the minister is grateful." ”

The third brother continued his white-eyed career with his cheeks: "Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief, Your Majesty is so kind?" There must be a plan. ”

Daddy scolded: "Hugh is talking nonsense! The Youjia is His Majesty's, not to mention that His Majesty has no plans, but he has a plan......"

Daddy suddenly paused and looked at me directly: "Your Majesty...... There is a picture ......"

The meat in my hand suddenly stopped smelling.

The third brother's eyes rolled wider: "Here we go again......"

At this moment, a slender and piercing voice pierced the sky:

"The decree has arrived—"
