The 18th day of the 11th lunar month is suitable for migration, entering the house, and traveling.

Early in the morning, the sound of firecrackers sounded outside the gate of Zhou's courtyard, and the family was jubilant.

"The auspicious time has come, please enter the Lord's house." Zhou Mo was invited to be the master of ceremonies, and sang with a red face after the sound of firecrackers.

The eight-point full rice bucket, the seven-point full bucket taken out of the old house, the brand-new dishes and chopsticks that had been prepared long ago, the broom and dustpan tied with red silk, the newly purchased bedding and clothes, the old stove and pots were moved into the new house by the men of the Zhou family one after another.

Then each family member entered the house with a string of copper coins in hand, and the scattered copper coins were sprinkled on the courtyard wall to ask for good luck. Large furniture such as wardrobes, bookcases, and desks have also been brought into the new home.

The five into the courtyard today into the master, for the table curling green smoke, sacrifice to the gods in turn. With a red circle of water spirit white radish, banana and pear five kinds of fruits fragrant and attractive, fat cake, red rice balls, tea and other things should be a lot, chicken, fish, pork in order, Shoujin Fujin is fully placed. Everything was done according to the best, and the Zhou family worshiped all the way from the inside out, praying for the peace of the house. Worship again, the incense in front of the ancestors' spiritual throne continues, and the owner kneels down to pray for the protection of the ancestors.

After worshipping the gods and ancestors, Lin Taohua took the maids and maids to boil water and fan the wind in the new house, and they must ask for a wind and water.

As soon as the etiquette was completed, the men of the Zhou family went to settle the guests, and the female relatives gathered in the kitchen. The fire was burned, and the aroma of food soon wafted through the brand-new mansion.

"Congratulations." Guests come to the door, saying auspicious words and offering generous gifts.

"Inside, please, inside." The father and son of the Zhou family led people into the door all the way, and the laughter was very lively.

Today, the men and women of the entire Zhoujia Village were invited to eat and drink, and the banquet was lined up in the Wujin compound.

"Madam, don't be busy, be careful that it will smell of meat again later." Chu Yi took the pepper-flavored lamb chops handed over by Lin Taohua and said with a smile.

After entering the Zhou Mansion in the first year, I learned that the wife of the main family was afraid that her body would be stained with the smell of braised meat, so she bought her and the second junior high, so after getting acquainted with Lin Taohua, she often teased Lin Taohua about this matter.

Lin Taohua laughed at her again when she heard Chu Yi, and scolded with a smile: "Little hoof, don't you dare to laugh at your wife if you give too much money per month." ”

Chu Yi already knows her very well, the third young lady of the Zhou family is a person who has no concept of master and servant at all, she treats people well and gets along very well, and she is used to frolicking in private, where will she be afraid of her.

"Madame, if you don't talk about the monthly money, the slaves and maids will soon forget. Last week, Mrs. said that she wanted to reward the slave maid with a pair of bracelets, why did I see it on the hand of the third junior high school last year? ”

Hearing this, Lin Taohua patted her head and said with annoyance: "Look at my brain, I said that it seems that I promised someone to reward the bracelet, and it was actually recorded as the third year of junior high school." ”

"Hmph, I see that Madame is also a face-seeker. The third year of junior high school is good-looking, and Mrs. is the third year of junior high school in her heart, and she still remembers me as a rough girl. "The first year is coquettish.

It just so happened that the third junior high school came in with a curtain and said with a smile: "What did my sister say, no matter how good my sister is, she can't go beyond my sister." My sister walks around the garden every day, and I don't see Steward Zhang giving me a copper plate, but I see Tian'er giving my sister something. It can be seen that in the eyes of the masters, my sister still hurts. ”

"What's the point, little hoof, what are you talking about?" Chu Yi took a sip with a flushed face.

The third junior high school pinched the handkerchief and hid behind Lin Taohua, not afraid of big things and said: "Don't admit it yet, who was hugged by Steward Zhang before?" ”

"You girl, see if I don't make you look good." The first junior high was annoyed and angry, put down the plate in his hand and came to grab the third junior high.

Chu Sanjiao exclaimed, "Madame, help." ”

Lin Taohua smiled, stopped the first junior high, and then reprimanded the junior high: "Today is a good day, and then dare to say anything about the lifeless careful eating board." ”

The third junior shrunk his neck and stepped aside.

Lin Taohua glanced at the scarlet face of the first year of junior high school and asked, "When did you and Manager Zhang get going?" ”

Chu Yi was shy, and said in a whisper: "Madam, this, don't ask me." ”

Lin Taohua glanced at her, "Let me ask you, do you like him?" ”

After a long time with her head down and twisting for a long time, Lin Taohua's forehead and green tendons began to jump, and she said something like a mosquito.

Lin Taohua: "I know about this, go back and let the owner ask Brother Zhang what he means, if the two sides are interested, Mrs. I will buy you a dowry." ”

The first head was even lowered.

"Still." Lin Taohua's voice suddenly became serious, Chu Yi was startled, and looked up at her blankly.

Lin Taohua looked at her panicked, laughed secretly, and said with a straight face: "It is normal for men and women to love each other, but my house will never allow unmatchmaking without a matchmaker, and it is not allowed to do things that are not harmonious before getting married." Do you remember? ”

Chu Yi's face turned pale, and he quickly knelt down: "Madam, Chu Yi didn't dare, the day before yesterday, the slave maid's feet slipped, and Steward Zhang helped him, and the slave didn't dare to exceed the rules." ”

The maids and women who were originally frolicking in the kitchen saw that the rules had been set here, and they all stood respectfully, not daring to say more.

Lin Taohua saw that the preventive effect had been achieved, so she pulled Chu Yi up, "I know that you are a good girl who understands the rules, but women are easy to be soft-hearted when they encounter this matter, I just give you a reminder, get up quickly." ”

"Yes." First time together.

Lin Taohua thought for a while, "Since the bracelet you like was given to the third junior high school, then forget it, I will give you a decent head in two days." ”

The girl's family likes beautiful jewelry, and the first year of junior high school is no exception, so she smiled and thanked her, and went out with the food.

Lin Taohua saw that the atmosphere in the kitchen was not lively for a while, so she went out to find Zhou Hui.

Today, the Zhou family moved out, Zhou Hui was still borrowing the identity after all, so she did not participate in the housewarming ceremony, and took Fei'er to live in Brother Xing'er's house temporarily, waiting for two days to enter the garden.

Lin Taohua saw that the dishes on the table outside were basically all ready, so she asked Liu's mother to pack a food box and walked towards Brother Xing'er's house alone.

Today, everyone in the village went to Zhuohua Villa to join in the fun, and Brother Xing'er's family had no one else except Zhou Hui. Zhou Hui sat by the window and looked at Fei'er who was dancing outside, holding a plain silver hairpin in her hand that she had never wore, and her heart could not hide her sourness.

She lived in Zhou's house for three months, how could she not know what Zhou Wu thought about her. Sometimes she really wanted to throw herself into his arms, but her conscience told her that she couldn't. She has served other men, how can she think about Zhou Wu again, she can't do such a shameless thing.

Sometimes Zhou Wu was angry with her stubborn temperament and would use force, at that time, she wanted to obey his wishes, but in fact, she took a pair of scissors to force him to retreat.

Every time she saw Zhou Wu's frustrated face, her heart was like a knife, at that time, she hated her father very much, and she hated herself in a wedding dress. She thought, if she was killed by a headlong collision at that time, it would be right to start Zhou Wu.

"Hui Niang, eat."

A familiar voice suddenly sounded in her ears, and Zhou Hui turned her head to look blankly, not knowing when Zhou Wu entered the house.

"Mother, why are you crying?" Fei'er was distressed and wanted to wipe her tears.

"Mother is fine." Zhou Hui wiped away her tears with a handkerchief a few times, and got up to hug Fei'er.

Zhou Wu glanced at her, touched Fei'er's head and said, "Fei'er, you go to the yard to play for a while, and the second uncle will say a few words to your mother." ”

Fei'er nodded sensibly and ran out to play by herself.

Zhou Hui looked at him a little crampedly: "When you entered the house today, you weren't entertaining guests at the table, what did you do with me?" The aunt will be angry again when she finds out. ”

Zhou Wu only looked at her and didn't speak, there was a dark light in her eyes, and Zhou Hui, who was watching, panicked, and hurriedly got up and said, "It's cold outside, I'll call Fei'er in." ”

Zhou Wu grabbed her and whispered: "Huiniang, my house is so lively today, but my heart is empty, why do you say?" ”

Zhou Hui struggled, unable to break free of his powerful hand.

"Brother Wu'er, I don't know, you let me go."

Zhou Wu exerted two more points and continued to ask: "Everyone in the village is eating and drinking at my house, and you are the only one in the cold here, why are you crying?" ”

Zhou Hui was in a hurry, tears crackling and falling. She sobbed, "It's my business, you don't have to worry about it." ”

Zhou Wu saw her struggling, picked her up violently, and walked to the bed.

"Brother Wu! You're crazy! Zhou Hui, who was pressed on the bed by Zhou Wu, tugged at the placket of his clothes in horror.

"Since you don't dare to move forward, then I will push you away, and I will bear all the blame." Zhou Wu said a little broken.

"Brother Wu'er, don't, don't do this." Fei'er was outside the door, Zhou Hui didn't dare to shout, she couldn't cry silently, and she couldn't stop the man from doing a penny by dragging her clothes.

"Don't make me hate you." Zhou Hui shouted hoarsely.

Zhou Wu's movements paused, and then became more and more eager, and when he kissed her snow-white jade neck, he whispered, "Then hate it." ”
