After Wuwei Zhai closed for the holiday, Zhou Ming and Lin Taohua stayed in Qiongya County for two days, and successively visited Li Yuanwai, Gao Yuanwai, Su Jinquan, Yang Qingxin, An Bingkui and other friends and business partners.

On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, Lin Peach Blossom visited Ju Fan, and when he was ingenious, he used hay and willow branches to wrap silk and silver threads into a small basket and made a gift box. Different colors of silk form a beautiful scenery of the four seasons, the hidden silver threads flash silver from time to time, and the whole basket is not like a box, but like a handicraft. Ju Fanyi was very interested in her weaving skills, so she dismantled the gift box and studied it for a long time, and Lin Taohua couldn't cry or laugh when she saw it.

This time, Ju Fanyi's two sons were at home, so he threw Zhou Ming and Lin Taohua to his son to entertain, and he carried a basket and gift box to discuss the problem of weaving handicrafts with the craftsman.

Ju Weifeng, the eldest son of Ju Fanyi, sits in Qingzhou Jushi Mufang all the year round and knows the Qingzhou business district very well, so Lin Taohua took the opportunity to learn from him about Qingzhou's customs and interpersonal relationships, as well as the business environment, to prepare for next year's trip to Qingzhou.

Ju Fan's son Ju Weichuan was stationed in Kyoto, and Zhou Ming was about to go south to take the exam, so he chatted with him on the other side. Ju Weichuan is not very old, he has followed his father since he was a child, and his experience is not shallow. He talked with Zhou Ming for a while, and found that Zhou Ming talked well, and his views on many things were bloody for a while, and he was a powerful character, so his heart became lively, and he smiled and invited Zhou to go south together next year. Zhou Ming also had a good impression of Ju Weichuan, and he naturally responded refreshingly.

The four of them chatted very well, and before they knew it, it was noon. As soon as Ju Fan knew that the Zhou Mansion had a habit of having lunch, he asked his wife to arrange the meal, and the two families had a meal together. At the dinner table, Lin Taohua met Ju Fanyi's two daughters-in-law and the only youngest daughter who had not yet left the cabinet.

Several women hit it off at first sight, and they didn't have enough fun until the afternoon. However, Zhou Lin and the others were going to visit Yueyang in the afternoon, and the female relatives at home could only reluctantly make an appointment with Lin Taohua on the Yuan Festival.

Yue Yang received Zhou Ming's greeting post yesterday, and he began to wait until the end of noon. He took a sip of the teacup and said strangely, "Are these two people lost?" Is this time yet yet? ”

Yu Ning said with a smile: "Only Peach Blossom has face, and it has made the Pavilion Master wait patiently until now." ”

"Yuning, you're too bad at talking. Our Brother Yang is obviously a very patient boy, and he is very patient with everyone. ”

Before Yue Yang could answer Yu Ning, Lin Taohua, who rushed to the door, picked up the conversation.

Zhou Ming came in with his beloved wife in his arms and chuckled, "Isn't what Miss Yuning said true?" Brother Yang, if you act like this, I want to eat it. ”

Yue Yang glanced at him, "You should go back and kneel on the washboard when you say this." ”

"Hahaha." Zhou Ming smiled heartily, and then explained: "I just met his two sons at Brother Ju's place, and it just so happened that I was going to Qingzhou after the Peach Blossom Year, and I was also going south, so I delayed talking for a while, so Brother Yang waited for a long time." Hehe, when I came, I deliberately went to Brother Bingkui's to play an altar of good wine, and I will accompany you to get drunk today. ”

Yue Yang took the wine jar in his hand and said with a smile: "You are interested." ”

Lin Taohua took off her fox fur and rubbed her hands: "You don't have a earth dragon in this house, it's really a little cold." I knew I was coming, so I sent a carriage to pick you up to our villa for the New Year. ”

Yue Yang saw that her fingers were red, so he pushed the charcoal basin to her side, and asked Yu Ning to get the hand stove, and said with a smile: "It's not too late, anyway, I don't have any relatives, do you want to take me back?" ”

Lin Taohua stretched out her hand to bake the fire, and said indifferently: "Why not?" If Brother Yang appreciates his face, let's go now and take Yuning and Wujiao with us. Speaking of which, you Yihuang Pavilion should also take a few days off, and you will not be closed all year round, and Zhou Papi is not as black as you. ”

Yue Yang smiled and asked, "Who is Zhou Papi?" Isn't it Brother Ming? ”

Lin Taohua glanced at him, "My brother Ming is the best proprietor in the world, how can he be the villain who steals the chicken in the middle of the night to drive people to work." Tsk, why is that guy's surname Zhou? ”

Zhou Mingwan put the peeled peanuts in front of her. Lin Taohua smiled sweetly at him, reached out and grabbed the peanuts and happily put them into his mouth, "Thank you, Xianggong." ”

Zhou Ming reached out and wiped off the peanut coat on her lips, and smiled gently.

Yue Yang lowered his eyes, rubbed his fingers unconsciously on the mouth of the teacup, then picked up the scalded wine and poured a glass for Zhou Ming, and said, "Are you taking care of your mother, or are you taking care of your daughter?" ”

Zhou Ming chuckled: "What's the difference?" It's all my baby. ”

Yue Yang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "The insight is good. ”

Lin Taohua glanced at him inexplicably, what kind of opinion is this?

"Hey, where the hell is your home? Do you want to bring your family over for the New Year? It's lively when there are more people. ”

Lin Taohua hadn't asked about Yueyang's family situation before, and he didn't plan to go back at the end of the year, so she couldn't help but ask. In her opinion, Yue Yang is afraid of being homeless. Tsk, what about being rich? I don't even have a family, it's really pitiful.

Yue Yang looked up at her, Lin Taohua's bright eyes were full of sympathy, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, so he said half-truthfully: "I'm not as pitiful as you think." My family has a big family and many brothers and sisters, but unfortunately I opened a brothel in anger, so they kicked me out. They look down on me, who loves silver, and I can't get used to their lofty faces, and everyone is not happy when they go back, so why should I go to beg for bad luck during the New Year? ”

Lin Taohua knew that he was not telling the truth, so she pouted and said, "Father-in-law, then do you want to come to my house to eat?" ”

The corners of Yue Yang's mouth twitched: "What do you call me?" ”

Lin Taohua smiled and couldn't see his eyes: "Aren't you a turtle father, don't you call Yue Gonggong, do you want to call Yue Turtle Turtle?" ”

"......" Yueyang black line, put down the wine glass, and said with a black face: "What turtle father, Lao Tzu is the owner!" ”

Lin Taohua plucked out her ears, "What are you shouting, after all, it's not a skin and meat business." ”

"......" Yue Yang glared at her.

Zhou Ming flicked her forehead, "How do you speak?" ”

Lin Taohua covered her forehead and said, "You bullied me? ”

Zhou Ming chuckled, and Yue Yang directly rewarded the pretentious woman with a big white eye.

"My fragile little heart needs comfort." Lin Taohua held her heart and looked at Zhou Ming with a pitiful look.

Zhou Mingwan put down the boiled peanuts in his hand and beckoned her to come over.

Lin Taohua leaned over to him happily, Zhou Ming leaned over and kissed the place he had just bounced, and said with a smile: "Is the fragile little heart okay?" ”

Lin Taohua rushed over and kissed him on the cheek, and said with a smile: "It's sweet now." ”

Zhou Ming smiled heartily, and his eyes were full of favor that almost blinded Yue Yang's eyes.

"You two are blatant, when I don't exist, it's too much. Brother Ming, you are also a saint and a model among scholars, and you are not afraid of being pointed at by others when you act like this? ”

Zhou Ming smiled: "I used to think that such behavior was very frivolous and violated the etiquette law, but my lady was happy, and I felt that it was okay to do it occasionally, not to mention that Brother Yang was not an outsider." ”

Lin Taohua also continued: "Sometimes the weak relationship between husband and wife is not necessarily because they don't love, maybe the difference is just to show it." It's not good to love it, and if you don't say it, others may not care about it. ”

Yue Yang smiled and said: "Three obedience, four virtues, five virtues and six etiquettes are the right way in the world, you have led Brother Ming crookedly, and you have strong words." Aren't you afraid that he will be criticized after he joins the office? I don't know if I'll be joined by some boring officials. ”

Lin Taohua grinned and said: "Naturally not, you still have to give face to your husband outside, and it's another matter at home." ”

Yue Yang shook his head and smiled, this kind of thing is natural, where can you tell the difference between home and outside.

Lin Taohua looked at him. According to Yue Yang's age, he should have already started a family, but since I met him until now, I have neither seen nor heard him mention it, is it because the husband and wife are not harmonious? Or is he unhappy with his wife?

"How about telling you about my family's three obediences and four virtues?" She chuckled.

Yue Yangqi said: "Why do you have another way to follow the four virtues?" ”

Zhou Ming also looked at her strangely, and he clearly didn't know what the three obediences and four virtues she was talking about were.

Lin Taohua smiled: "It's definitely different, you see how affectionate Brother Ming and I are, so you also learn a little, you are always alone when you are old, you are not in a hurry, I am still anxious as a friend." ”

The corners of Yue Yang's mouth twitched, and he waved her hand to signal that she would say what she wanted to say, and make less fun of him.

Lin Taohua's eyes flowed, cleared her throat and said: "The so-called three subordinates are, the lady must follow when she goes out, the lady's orders must be obeyed, and the lady must blindly obey when she makes mistakes." ”

"......" Yue Yang glanced at Zhou Ming sympathetically.

"Hahaha, what about the four virtues?" Zhou Ming continued to ask with interest.

Lin Taohua said proudly: "The lady has to wait for makeup, the lady has to be willing to spend money, the lady has to endure the anger, and the lady's birthday must be remembered." Xianggong, can you write it down? ”

Zhou Ming smiled and nodded, "Write it down, the husband must keep in mind the three obedience and four virtues, and the only one is the lady." ”

Lin Taohua rewarded Zhou Ming with a piece of dim sum with satisfaction, turned her head and asked Yue Yang, "What about you?" Remember? ”

Yue Yang was dumbfounded, "Why should I remember?" ”

Lin Taohua directly smashed a peanut on his head, "It's really rotten wood that can't be carved, I will do what I say in the future, I guarantee that your husband and wife are happy and happy, do you hear?" ”

"......" Yue Yang really wanted to pry open Lin Taohua's head and see this Qingqi brain circuit. Women's morality, women's appearance, women's words, and women's skills are the basic criteria for judging a woman, except for her, which woman dares to ask her husband to follow the set of three from four virtues she said?

"You promised to be happy, can you really do it?" Yue Yang asked Zhou Ming suspiciously.

Zhou Ming thought for a while, "It's okay, I don't think there's anything I can't do, my son has always been like this." ”

"......" Yue Yang was speechless. How could such a humiliating condition be accepted so happily? Could this be the reason why Zhou Ming got her blue eyes? Strange thoughts flashed through his mind.
