Chapter 54: Snow Spirit

There is no trace of clouds in the clear night sky, the bright moon rises unhindered, the jade plate is clear, the light is everywhere, there is an ebony round table by the courtyard of Zhang Yuan's inner courtyard, and a large lacquer plate is placed on the table, with moon cakes, vegetarian dishes, fruits, edamame, wine, and a large watermelon with green skin and black veins -

The Shi Shuang family and two servants on the other side of the hall also set up a table by the well, the fruits and cakes are complete, and there is also a big watermelon, Cui Gu restricts the big stone and the small stone not to eat first, and after the arrangement is completed, they go into the inner courtyard together to congratulate the wife and the young master, and the Zhang mother Lu has already asked Yiting to prepare the festival ceremony, Shi Shuang, Cui Gu and the two servant women each have 36 yuan, and the big stone and small stone each have 16 yuan, and the Shi Shuang couple has made a long-term employment contract with Zhang Yuan's family, and the husband and wife have a salary of eight taels of silver a year. This is considered a very high wage in Shaoxing Mansion, and Shi Shuang and his wife are diligent and careful to serve the master's family.

After thanking his wife and young master, Shi Shuang's family and the two servants went back to the well to admire the moon and celebrate the festival.

Zhang's mother Lu smiled and said to Rabbit Pavilion, Wuling and others: "You also have a festival, Yiting, give it to them." ”

Rabbit Pavilion and Wuling each had thirty-six yuan, and both of them happily kowtowed to their wives to thank them.

Mu Zhenzhen stood on the edge of the hosta flower, and saw that his wife gave everyone a reward, which made her feel a little uncomfortable, but she saw that his wife beckoned to her: "Zhenzhen, come forward, you also have a reward for money." ”

Mu Zhenzhen said "ah": "Madam, this can't be helped, the little maid hasn't done anything for his wife and young master at all, how can he be rewarded." ”

Zhang's mother Lu said: "Since your father and daughter have recognized my family as the master, the reward for that year's festival is not less, not much, you and your father each have sixteen yuan, and some will be added next year." ”

Mu Zhenzhen pinned his hands behind his back, and refused to ask for it.

Yi Ting said: "Don't shirk it, it's a festival today, my wife likes to be lively, and I like to see everyone smiling." ”

Zhang Mu Lu smiled: "Yi Ting said very well. Seeing that Mu Zhenzhen accepted it, he personally rewarded Yiting with a gift, Yiting is a powerful girl, presumably the reward is more, and the specific mother Lu Shi did not say.

Zhang Yuan sat at the round table and ate grapes, and when he saw that everyone's reward money had been distributed, he said: "Why doesn't the mother give the son a reward, everyone has it, but the son doesn't, and the mother is biased." ”

Zhang's mother Lu Shi laughed and said, "What about it, where did you use the five taels of silver last time?" ”

Zhang Yuan said: "My son is useless, I will take it all for Xiao Wu." ”

Wu Ling jumped into the room and quickly took out the two pieces of silver to show his wife.

Zhang's mother Lu Shi looked at her son with a smile and said: "You really changed your surname, you used to give you six dollars a month to spend money, you always had too little, and the silver was spent in your arms and you couldn't wait to cover the heat, how can you not spend money now." ”

Zhang Yuan said: "My son doesn't spend a little money now, he spends a lot of money if he wants to." ”

Zhang's mother Lu said: "Isn't five taels of silver enough for you to spend?" ”

Zhang Yuan said: "It's far from enough, my son has a big appetite now." ”

Zhang's mother Lu smiled at Yi Ting: "Look at him, look at him, the more you talk about it, the more you don't know it." ”

Yi Ting flattered: "Madam, the young master is not out of bounds, the young master is promising, Hou Xianzun and the eldest master of Xizhang both praised the young master for being studious and smart, and Liu Jinshi of Dashan Temple wanted to accept the young master as a student, but the young master still refused, because the young master would be the champion in the future." ”

Zhang Yuan smiled "hey", some words will become more and more outrageous, stood up, patted the big watermelon and said, "Eat watermelon, what about the knife?" ”

Yi Ting took a knife and cut open the watermelon and everyone ate it, which is called the Watermelon Club.

The moon moved up to the middle of the sky, and you could see it when you sat on the edge of the patio and looked up, and the inner courtyard was as bright as early morning or twilight, and everyone was sitting in the moonlight, and their eyebrows were fresh and lovely.

Zhang's mother, Lu Shi, suddenly sighed faintly, and said to Zhang Yuan: "Let's enjoy the moon here, your father is alone in a foreign country, he returned to his hometown last year for his fiftieth birthday, and I am afraid that he will not be able to come back until the year after tomorrow." ”

Zhang Yuan said: "The year after tomorrow, my mother's fiftieth birthday, my father will definitely come back, if it goes well, my son should have a reputation for being a member of the company, and my father will not have to go out to find a job far from his hometown. ”

Zhang's mother Lu was originally a little sad, but when she heard her son say this, she suddenly smiled, nodded and said: "My son Chengren has grown up and has a future, and his parents are relieved, your father must have also received the letter you sent last month, if you pass the county test and the government test next year and become a child, then you must report to your father as soon as possible, so that he can also be happy." ”

Zhang Yuan responded: "Yes, my son must work hard." ”

Mu Zhenzhen was about to quit at this time, and Zhang's mother Lu said: "What are you really going to do, your father is not at home, it's already in time, and it's not close to Sandai Street here, just rest in this house, and you will sleep with the rabbit pavilion." ”

Rabbit Pavilion was startled and begged, "Madam, don't." ”

Zhang's mother Lu said: "Why don't you, do you little girl still dislike people's truth?" ”

"No, no, no." The little girl's head shook like a rattle, and her eyes were full of fear.

Or Yi Ting understood the mind of the Rabbit Pavilion, and said a few words to Zhang's mother Lu, Zhang's mother Lu laughed, so she had to say: "That Rabbit Pavilion and Yi Ting sleep together, really sleep in the small room of the Rabbit Pavilion." ”

Shaoxing wine is not intoxicating, but there is still some alcohol, Zhang Yuan can't sleep for a while, the Wuling outside has turned off the lights and slept, it is very quiet in all directions, at this time I faintly heard the sound of Xiao drum orchestra on the side of Xizhang, Zhang Yuan said in his heart: "Uncle Zu is so interested, he is performing the repertoire." He got up and quietly went out of the room and came to the back garden.

The moonlight is like water, the fragrance of the laurel tree in the quiet night is more lush, and the silk and bamboo singing voice of Xizhang is more and more clear, and the lyrics of the song are recognized:

"β€”β€”Ronghua swept away the points of the previous life, and made the idiot sleepy in vain, the peach was thin into a salary, and the sea water dried into a dizziness, and at that time, he dared to wait for the yellow sorghum pot to be ......"

Zhang Yuanxin said: "It turned out to be "The Story of Handan" by Linchuan Four Dreams, this is already the end, so my good show will be staged again." ”

……

The next morning, Zhang Cao came, first went to see Zhang's mother Lu, and said that he wanted Zhang Yuan to accompany him on a blind date, and Zhang's mother Lu said happily: "That's good, this is a happy event." Then he called Zhang Yuan over: "Yuan'er, go with your third brother, you haven't gone out for a long time, and take this opportunity to relax, don't read all the time, how can you live if you read badly." ”

Zhang Yuan had no choice but to agree, ate some food casually, and took Wuling out, but saw a big battle in front of the door, six sedan chair men carried three rattan sedan chairs, and more than ten people followed, including Wang Kedian and Pan Xiaofei of the dining class, and Zhang Cao's cousin Zhang Zhuoru also accompanied him to go on a blind date.

Zhang Cao said: "Jie Zi, Zhuo Ru, you two take a sedan chairβ€”β€”"

Zhang Yuan said: "I'd rather walk, how many roads?" ”

Zhang Cao said: "It is Huiji Taoyuan, in the south of Fucheng, ten miles away from here, blind date is second, it is considered an autumn tour." ”

Zhang Yuan said: "What is the ten mile road, practice the leg strength, and then take the sedan chair when you return." ”

Zhang Cao said: "Whatever you want." ”

The servant Nengzhu brought over a tall mule with a snow-white body, and this mule not only had fur like rotten silver, but even its hooves were white, which was really rare.

Zhang Cao said to Zhang Yuan: "This white mule belongs to the eldest brother of Zongzi, named Xuejing, which was given to the eldest brother by the eldest brother's maternal ancestor Mr. Tao Lanfeng, and can travel two hundred miles. ”

Zhang Yuan said: "By the way, has the yellow list of the township test been posted, has the eldest brother of Zongzi been raised?" ”

Zhang Cao said: "There will be news in the next two days, and it is estimated that it will be hit - Nengzhu, help me." ”

Nengzhu led the white mule with one hand, and supported Zhang Cao with the other, Zhang Cao had not yet ridden up, the white mule jumped suddenly, took off the reins and ran away, if it was not for the ability to hold it in time, Zhang Cao would have fallen to the sky, stood firm and scolded the mule, and ordered the servants to stop the white mule, he said that he had to ride this mule.

Zhang Zhuoru said: "This mule is extremely domineering, and only the eldest brother of the sect can control it." ”

Zhang Cao was not convinced, and the blind date in the garden was thrown aside, and he wanted to capture the white mule with the servants, and the white mule scattered the four hooves of rotten silver, and the wind ran away without a shadow, but where could he catch up.
