Early in the morning, after studying in the room for a long time, Chu Zhi also felt a little tired, of course Chu Zhi understood the principle of combining work and rest, rubbed his shoulders and wrists, Chu Zhi opened the door, breathed in the cool air outside, strolled into the small courtyard, ready to stretch his muscles, but found Changgui sitting in the corner outside the door of the small courtyard, his hands were moving, as if he was fiddling with something, idle, Chu Zhi was also a little curious, and walked over slowly.

"I've seen Childe." Hearing the footsteps, he turned his head to look, Changgui hurriedly put down the work in his hand, got up and saluted.

"Changgui, what are you doing here?" Chu Zhi asked curiously, bent down to pick up the messy but trimmed bamboo strips under his feet, and waved them a few times in a no-man's land, and the bamboo pieces made a whirring sound.

"There are still a few days before the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, and the little ones are making lanterns." Changgui touched his head honestly, and seemed a little embarrassed: "I accidentally made some noise, did I disturb my son's study." ”

"No, I'm a little tired from reading, come out and walk around." Chu Zhen smiled and said, "Just walk around casually, you don't have to pay attention to me, just go about your own business." ”

Often seeing Chu Zhi moving his body in the small courtyard, of course Changgui would not feel strange, smiled honestly, sat down again, picked up a knife to trim the bamboo, Chu Zhen walked away a few steps, stretching his body, and curiously watching Changgui's work.

I saw Changgui put a bamboo, broken into twenty or a dozen thin pieces, repaired and leveled, and then tied the bamboo head with twine, so that it was bent, and then skillfully pasted with paper to make it a one-leaf lotus, and then pasted the bamboo pieces on the paper in turn, and pressed each other with two leaves of lotus to make it a blooming lotus shape, and finally fixed it, put the candle on the shelf, and a lotus lamp was completed, and it took only ten minutes before and after.

"Changgui, how many lanterns do you want to make?" Seeing that six or seven lotus lanterns had been placed next to Changgui, and there seemed to be no intention of stopping, Chu Zhi asked casually.

"Thirty-six." Changgui replied, but the knife in his hand did not stagnate, and he broke a piece of bamboo very neatly.

Chu Qian, and then suddenly, I vaguely remember that during the Shangyuan Lantern Festival in previous years, there was a brightly lit scene inside and outside the Chu Mansion, I am afraid that it was not only thirty-six lanterns.

"Second brother, Jue'er is here." A childish voice sounded, and Chu Jue's young figure appeared on the side of the corridor, followed by the bright and moving Yun Niang.

"Mrs. Yun, little boy." Changgui hurriedly stood up and saluted.

"Quality, is Sister Hui up?" Yun Niangniang Yingying stepped forward and said with a smile, her slender hand lightly rested on Chu Jue's little shoulder, as if she was watching over something, this is a mother's subconscious behavior.

"She does some needlework in the room, Aunt Yun please come in." Chu Zhen smiled, gracefully led the way in front, and when he walked to the attic, Mrs. Hui, who had already received the report from the maidservant, also greeted her.

"Sister Yun is here." Mrs. Hui smiled gently, stroked Chu Jue's little face with her slender hand, and said with a smile: "Jue'er hasn't come to Aunt Hui for a few days. ”

"One day, two days, three days." Chu Jue pinched his tender little finger and counted for a while before revealing a sweet smile: "Jue'er hasn't been here for three days. ”

"Well, Gille is so good." Mrs. Hui smiled quietly, welcomed Yun Niang and Chu Jue into the hall, took out a plate of candied fruit from the food box in the shrine, placed it in front of Chu Jue, and said with a smile: "Does Jue'er want Aunt Hui to have candy here?" ”

"Jar...... Don't want to. After a moment of hesitation, looking at Yun Niang's beautiful face, Chu Jue said in a childish voice, as soon as he heard it, he knew that it was against his will, smelling the aroma of candied fruit, Chu Jue's tongue was full of relish, and his clear eyes did not blink at all, revealing the color of longing.

"Let's eat a piece." Shaking her head slightly, Yun Niang said helplessly: "It's time to eat later." ”

"That's the case with children, who always like to eat preserves as a staple food." Mrs. Hui chuckled, pinched a piece of candied fruit with her slender hand and put it into Chu Jue's already open mouth, and said gently: "Jue'er, after eating the fruit, remember to eat at noon, so that you can be fast and fast." ”

"Thank you, Aunt Hui, Ji'er remembered." Chu Jue smiled sweetly and said vaguely, his small mouth kept chewing.

"Really, they're all so big, and they love candy so much." Yun Niang complained, took out a silk scarf, and gently wiped the liquid flowing from the corner of Chu Jue's mouth, and her beautiful eyes showed love.

Chu Zhi, who seemed to have been ignored, sat quietly aside, silently listening to the two women chatting about family life, from Chu Jue's physical condition, to the latest makeup that was popular in Bianliang City, to dozens of weaving methods of embroidery, Chu Zhi was drowsy when he heard it, and he wanted to get up and quit very much.

"Recently, my husband taught Jue'er to read, but I don't know what's going on, Jiu'er always can't remember, it's really worrying." After going around for a long time, she quietly glanced at Chu Qian, and Yun Niang said quietly, her beautiful appearance was overshadowed, which was pitiful.

"Jue'er is still young, and when she is older, she can write it down." Mrs. Hui smiled comfortingly.

"Mother, I remember it, I can read a lot of words." Chu Jue on the side was suddenly unhappy, and hurriedly said in a childish voice: "The words that Jue'er knows can't be counted at all." ”

After speaking, lest the two of them not believe it, they stretched out ten tender and lovely little fingers, and counted them up: "Jue'er knows the sky, the earth, the rain, the wind, the big and the small, ......." ”

Counting the back, the ten little fingers have been bent, and they really can't be counted, in a hurry, Chu Jue hurriedly grabbed Yun Niang's slender hand, and continued to count, with a cute appearance, which made people laugh.

"Okay, Aunt Hui believes that Jue'er knows a lot of words." Mrs. Hui said with a smile.

"Ju'er is so smart." Holding Chu Jue in her arms lightly, Yun Niang praised it, and then said softly: "Thanks to the rhyme taught by Qian'er, these words are also known by Jiu'er in the past few days." ”

"Rhyme?" Mrs. Hui frowned slightly, glanced at Chu Qian, and said softly, "What does this have to do with Qian'er?" ”

"The second brother taught the heavens to the earth, the rain to the wind, and the mainland to the ......sky." Hearing the rhyme, Chu Jue immediately clapped his little hands and chanted, his expression was cheerful and happy, and his smile was bright.

"Quality, what is this?" Mrs. Hui asked softly, her beautiful eyes flashing with a hint of brilliance.

"In the past few days, I have looked at the peach talisman couplets posted in front of the door of the house, and I think it is quite interesting, so I made up a few rhyming words, and there is no other meaning, it is a nursery rhyme." Chu Zhi Youyou explained that although the couplets originated in the Five Dynasties, they were really developed and prevalent in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and they were insignificant in the literary field of the Song Dynasty, so Chu Zhi had to classify them as nursery rhymes.

"Can you make up a few more words to teach you?" Yun Niang asked softly, her eyes flashed with a hint of expectation, and she seemed to be a little nervous in her heart.

After being silent for a moment, Chu Zhi said, "No problem, after the meeting is completed, I will send it to Aunt Yun." ”

"Thank you." Quietly relieved, Yun Niang said politely, with a sincere gratitude in her words.
