The black flying rabbit goes, the sun and the moon jump pills, and unconsciously, winter goes to spring. At this time, it was the 44th year of Qianlong, Guotai Min'an, Spring and Jingming.

As soon as the sting passed, the warm wind blew the water surface, and the brilliant sunlight sprinkled on the vibrant earth, with an indescribable lazy meaning. The willow trees by the river have just budded, and several flying swallows have fallen one after another, quietly listening to the yellow warbler crying in the air.

In the distance, patches of rape flowers are bathed in the spring breeze, blooming a handful of yellow stamens, attracting butterflies to come in groups. The apricot blossom forest is near the rape field, and at this time, the flower buds are all blooming, exuding a faint fragrance.

It's really a spring and bright weather!

The farmers were careful to observe the agricultural time, taking advantage of the good weather, squatting in the field to plant seedlings. When everyone suddenly heard the sound of gongs and drums coming into their ears, they couldn't help but stop what they were doing and follow the source of the sound with curiosity.

Suddenly, a group of centaurs emerged from the woods.

The leader of the group was dressed in splendid embroidery, riding a tall horse under his crotch, and four or five green horses trailing beside him. The horse team was followed by twenty or thirty young men. The young people were full of interest, or beat gongs and drums, or drums and shengs, or led sheep and oxen, or carried boxes and boxes......

When the villagers saw this battle, they knew that it was the man's family who came to the woman's house to intervene, but they thought about it, as if they hadn't heard of anyone marrying a girl recently, so everyone gathered in a bunch to watch and discuss, and then scattered one after another, bending down to plant seedlings.

In the blink of an eye, the group was in the field.

The leader of the team put up a pergola in his hand, looked forward to the square circle, and saw that the houses were like houses, the jungle was lush, the vast and fertile wilderness, chickens and dogs were mulberry and hemp, and many farmers and peasant women were hunched over like shrimp working in the fields.

After the head of the village, I saw two rows of sparse willows, green herbs under the trees, bright wildflowers, and a few old people with goosebumps and crane hair basking in the sun.

The leader of the team smiled, jumped off the horse, then straightened his sleeves, walked to the group of old people in three steps and two steps, bowed respectfully, and asked: "Dare to ask a few old men, can you tell the juniors where the Chen family is?" ”

A scrawny old man spoke first: "We have several families surnamed Chen here, but I don't know which one you are looking for?" ”

The team leader bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "Chen Xinyu's family!" ”

The old woman next to the old man smiled kindly and said, "It's his family!" Then you go straight, and when you come to an intersection, go straight to the west! ”

The leader of the team solemnly saluted and thanked him repeatedly, and then led a team of people and horses to walk straight towards the flat road.

Here, the Jin family set up tables and chairs in the courtyard, and Chen Yun held Kechang's pen and ink, and while walking out of the house, he scolded his younger brother.

"You, although you are not very old, you should also distinguish between right and wrong, and you must listen to your mother's admonition more in the future, and don't associate with those fox friends and dog friends! Do you know that those people are scoundrels, and if you stay with them for a long time, sooner or later you will become unlearned! ”

Kechang is eleven years old, and he usually falls in love with the house and raises the beard of the old pedant, which is very naughty and difficult to manage. Now, he can't tell who is a bad friend and who is a bad friend, but he is very tired of listening to his sister's chatter, so he goes out of the house with her and agrees repeatedly.

Chen Yun saw that his younger brother was fooling him, and he was very angry and said: "I persuaded you in every possible way, just for your good, if you refuse to listen to the persuasion, I can't do anything!" ”

Kechang pursed his lips, took the book and opened it, and then while lifting the pen, he responded to Chen Yun and said: "What my sister said, I remember it in my heart and never dare to forget it!" ”

"If you remember it or not, whether you will forget it or not, only you know it in your heart!" Chen Yun was a little impatient, "Now, you recite the "Encouragement Chapter" for me!" ”

Kechang sighed and said slowly: "Wealth doesn't need to buy good land, there are thousands of Zhongsu in the book." There is no need to raise a hall to live in peace, and there is a golden house in the book. Don't hate unscrupulous matchmakers when marrying a wife, there is Yan Ruyu in the book. Don't hate to go out with no one, there are many cars and horses in the book. If a boy follows his life's aspirations, read the six classics to the window! ”

Chen Yun was very satisfied when he saw that he could recite, and was about to open his mouth to praise a few words, when he suddenly heard the sound of gongs and drums outside the door, and couldn't help but wonder.

Jin's hand had already stopped, and when he heard the sound of gongs and drums getting closer and closer, he already had a guess in his heart, so he peeked at the door with curiosity.

Through the crack in the door, the mother and daughter saw a group of people dressed in red and hanging colors, blowing and shouting towards their house.

Chen Yun knew the person in the lead, and couldn't help but identify: "Mother, take a closer look, is the leader Deng Shanbao, the housekeeper Deng?" ”

Jin's eyes were not good, and he looked at it for a long time before he woke up like a dream and said, "Oh, don't your uncle send someone to hire him, right?" ”

Chen Yun frowned and said, "In the middle of last month, Second Master Shen got married, my uncle shouldn't come to our house so soon to hire, right?" ”

"It doesn't matter if he's or not, let's go out and have a look!" Seeing that his mother and sister were confused, Chen Kechang simply opened the door and calmly walked a few steps outside.

Seeing that his son was bright, Jin hurriedly exchanged glances with Chen Yun, tidied up his clothes, and came out to watch slowly.

Before long, the hired people arrived at the door. Seeing that the Jin family was waiting for him, Deng Shanbao hurriedly jumped down from the horse and approached to greet: "Mrs. Jin! ”

Jin lowered his head and smiled: "Steward Deng is really polite, our family is so poor, how can you be qualified to call me Mrs.?" Laughing at himself, Jin casually glanced at the family members who came with him, and when he saw that everyone was looking at him, he said softly: "Steward Deng is still smooth all the way?" ”

Deng Deng Shanbao heard this, and said with a solemn expression: "The road is quite smooth, but there is a section of the road halfway, which is really difficult to walk, I saw that the road was rugged, for fear of ruining the dowry, so I didn't dare to let them be greedy for convenience, so I only told them to walk over." ”

When Jin heard this, he nodded again and again, and beckoned: "You guys got up early in the dark, and you worked hard all the way, and now you are sleepy, so you should rest!" It's just noon, if Steward Deng doesn't dislike the farmer's coarse tea and light rice, he might as well go into the dormitory and have a vegetable meal! ”

"So, there is Mrs. Lao Yan!" Deng Shanbao pointed to the boxes and cans behind him, and introduced: "These are all carefully selected by Mrs., and a gift list is submitted, Mrs. must be seen, otherwise, my errand is not a good job!" ”

Jin silently took the gift list, glanced at it briefly, and then briefly glanced at the box, and then said with a kind smile: "Steward Deng is old and steadfast, and your wife has always entrusted you with important tasks, so why should I be worried?" ”

"Standing in front of the door for a long time is not in line with hospitality!" Jin smiled gently, suddenly took two steps back, bowed slightly, and said, "Steward Deng, please come in!" ”

Deng Shanbao bowed his head slightly, turned his head and instructed the family to follow behind him, and carried all the large and small boxes and large boxes and small boxes to the courtyard.

When the arrangements were properly made, Deng Shanbao came to the Jin family and said, "Mrs. Jin, this dowry is all placed under the eaves, if you think the position of the pile is inappropriate, I will send them to move!" ”

"They also worked hard for a long time, and they didn't dare to work them anymore!" Jin's attitude was gentle, "Yun'er, bring a cup of tea to Steward Deng!" ”

Chen Yun had already prepared, and while agreeing, he poured a cup of Huading Cloud Mist from the small hanging pot, and then handed it to Steward Deng with a smile.

Deng Shanbao tasted it, felt that it tasted good, and then raised his head, and saw Chen Yun's face with spring and cherry blossoms on his lips, and couldn't help but praise: "Miss Chen has a docile temperament and looks very standard, no wonder the old lady and Mrs. like girls so much!" ”

When Jin heard this, he smiled and said: "The little girl is just a fluke to please the old lady, don't compliment her anymore!" ”

Deng Shanbao laughed a few times, turned his head and saw that the young people outside were staring at him, and hurriedly pleaded with the Jin family: "Mrs. Jin, the old man has a reluctant request, can you ask Ling Lang to share some tea for them?" They came with them, and they did work hard! ”

Jin looked at the warm sun in the sky, then at the hungry young people, and couldn't help laughing: "It's okay, I should also go to prepare food, you let them come in and sit!" As he spoke, Jin first glanced at Kechang, then walked to the porch, beckoned those sweaty young people into the house, and called Chen Yun to go to the kitchen to prepare food together.

About half an hour passed, and the Jin family shouted and beckoned Chen Yun and Kechang to serve the soup with vegetables.

Deng Shanbao was grateful to the Kim family for his warm-heartedness, and when he heard that lunch was about to be served, he hurriedly sent the family to clean up the dining table, and he quickly arranged the dishes and chopsticks.

Suddenly, on the poplar table, there were shredded spring bamboo shoots and pork, mushroom rape, braised pork trotters, fried pickles with minced meat, fried celery with fungus, shredded fish-flavored pork, cucumber and egg soup, stewed potatoes with pheasant, fried leeks with thousands of shreds, crispy duck, stewed mutton with white radish, beef soup, sweet potato cake, vegetable cake, sesame cake, egg cake, and two large jars of home-brewed Jiang rice wine.

Everyone was grateful to see Jin's thoughtful hospitality, especially Deng Shanbao, who praised Jin's cooking skills while eating: "Madame's craftsmanship is excellent, if half of it can be passed on to Miss Chen, then the third master will have a good fortune in the future!" ”

Chen Yun stood next to him, his face was red when he heard it, and while holding the wine jar and pouring wine one by one, he fantasized about a happy little life in the future.

Seeing that his daughter was thoughtful, Jin quietly went up to remind him, then turned his head and continued to deal with Steward Deng: "You came early, it's only spring now, if it's a hot day, the water chestnuts in the pool are ripe, you will be more blessed!" ”

"We are not blessed, but the marriage of children is always auspicious, if we postpone a few more days to get hired, lest we miss the auspicious day of the zodiac!" Deng Shanbaole said hehehe: "Don't hide it from Mrs., the day before yesterday, our wife invited Sanqing Guan Chongxu Dao Chang to enter the house. The Taoist chief has great powers, and he went to all parts of the mansion to patrol it, and then pinched his fingers and counted, checked the Qinglong Jinkui, and set an auspicious day for the moon! ”

"Your wife has even set a wedding date?" Jin said in surprise, and suddenly looked at Steward Deng, who was full of confusion, and said, "She's too anxious!" ”

"Can you not be in a hurry?" Deng Shanbao talked and laughed, "Our wife is only a third master, if we don't marry a wife for him early, when will we be able to hold our grandchildren?" ”

When Kim heard this, he just laughed secretly.

Chen Yun sat on the side, seeing everyone making fists and giving orders, laughter broke out one after another, and couldn't help fantasizing about life after marriage, and her face flushed.
