203 Crab Crab
There is one advantage to having more children in the family, that is, it is lively.
Originally, when Wei Qingyao didn't come, the Xu family was lively enough. After all, Changping and Su Zheng are two stubborn masters. Even if Changping's leg is broken, he is disabled and strong, and he is always unwilling to be left behind in some naughty things. And Su Zheng is even more of a little demon king in the world, stubborn and hateful can't take a stick to stab the sky.
The two of them love to play, and Chang'an and Su Xuan and Ban'er don't stop it, which causes the Xu family to be jumping for several days in a row.
Finally, the two of them got tired of playing, and some of them stopped, and Wei Qingyao came......
Wei Qingyao is a figure who is a prince and nobleman who often goes in and out of the palace. It can be said that in terms of knowledge alone, he is far superior to Su Zheng and Changping. Such a character, although he doesn't like to play, but he loves to join in the fun. is always a good way to give good advice and pastime from time to time, and Su Zheng and Changping started the experiment with their hands, so the more noisy they became, the happier they became, and the Xu family jumped up again.
This matter seems to have nothing to do with the Pianpian people, after all, the courtyard of Changping in Chang'an is in the outer courtyard, and their residences are in the inner courtyard, and one east and one west are separated on both sides of the central axis, so they should be safe.
It's strange that Changping is too good at tossing.
After Wei Qingyao played Liubo for more than half a day on the first day of his arrival, after that, they were dog racing and horse racing, and they would also fight crickets and cocks.
They just played, but they were so noisy that they couldn't shake the sky down, coupled with the sound of chickens and dogs barking, it was difficult for a few people to not be affected.
However, Pian Pian is a generation older than a few people, although she is the same generation as Changping and a few people, and it is a good family, it seems that there is no need to avoid it, but isn't there still a Wei Qingyao? It's just a matter of seeing each other once in a while, and I always run forward, and I may be chewed by someone.
Pian Pian and Changle can hold their temperament and don't forget to go ahead, but Xiao Yu'er can't.
She is at the age when she loves to play and make trouble, especially during the Chinese New Year, her parents don't control her very much, which makes Xiao Yu'er happy.
In addition to teasing Brother Rong every day, making rouge with my aunt and sister, I took my grandmother and maid to the front to watch the excitement the rest of the time.
The little girl has sharp legs and feet, and her mouth is also very sharp. She is also very good at describing the scene, so even if Pian Pian and Changle did not go to the front next, they were also clear about the excitement of those people.
knew that Su Zheng was almost caught and bitten by the general, and his face turned white with fright; Knowing that Wei Qingyao is very good at fighting crickets, it is clear that the crickets he selected are not the largest, nor the most oily and robust, but they are very brave, and they almost killed the crickets of the rest of the people.
He also said that a few chickens were beaten too fiercely, as if they wanted to be fed medicine, and they simply played a posture of "either you die or I live". But Xiao Yu'er was not scared lightly, if it wasn't for the big brother who carried her out of the battle circle in time, maybe she would have been bitten by one of the big cocks.
The big's mouth is so sharp that it pecks the other chicken bald, and if it bites her, she can't resist her fine skin and tender meat.
was frightened by the big rooster, and the little fish's mood dissipated a lot, and then he didn't run forward.
She didn't go to the front, and there were still people in the front yard who missed her. For example, Changping and Su Zheng didn't let the maid pass the word to let Xiao Yu'er go to the front to play.
The little girl is the size of a person, but her expression is very rich, and sometimes it is interesting to watch the cockfighting and dog fighting without watching the little fish change her face......
Of course, you can't tell Xiao Yu'er about this, otherwise this little girl will have to fry her hair.
It is very open to the day of the Lantern Festival, and today there is a lantern festival in the capital, and there is also a lantern festival in the palace. According to the regulations of previous years, Wei Qingyao is going to enter the palace with the eldest princess today, so someone from the eldest princess's mansion came early and was ready to take him back.
But after playing at Xu's house for two days, Wei Qingyao's heart was a little wild, and he suddenly didn't want to go back.
This is also a "stubborn", I saw him call the accompanying grandmother to come to him, so he ordered two sentences, the grandmother looked embarrassed, "Little boy, this is not good, we came to pay for the ancestors to make a package ticket, you suddenly don't go back, we are not good to deal with it." ”
Wei Qingyao had a depressed face and whispered something.
That grandmother is the proud person next to the eldest princess, and she has been serving by the eldest princess's side since she was a little palace maid with a head. She never married in her life, and when she was old, she became a grandmother next to the eldest princess.
It can be said that Wei Qingyao still grew up with her, so this relationship is naturally different.
This grandmother looked at Wei Qingyao like her own grandson, and she didn't want him to be a little unhappy at all.
No, Wei Qingyao just lowered his face, and Mama couldn't bear it. When I heard the words of the little master again, I felt more and more pity for him in my heart. I feel that it is not easy for him to be at a young age, although it seems glorious to follow the eldest princess, but he must always be vigilant and careful in the palace, and when he responds to those nobles, he must mention a hundred points of his mind.
The little boy is tired......
Thinking of this, Mama felt more and more distressed that it was not easy for him to live at a young age, so he actually agreed with the idea of the little master wanting to spend the Lantern Festival outside to watch the lights.
But she agreed that it didn't work, and she had to ask the eldest princess to agree.
Mama said, "Then you stay here first, and the slave and maid will go back and talk about this matter to the eldest princess." Look at what the eldest princess means, if her old man agrees, you will stay in the Xu Mansion today. "That being said, Mama also understands that it is a bit unreasonable to stay in people's houses during the Lantern Festival. They don't want to be the two little sons of the Su family, the elders of the family all go back to their hometown to visit relatives, and the children are too young and no one takes care of them, so they are entrusted to Xu's house. They have a lot of families, and the rules are big when there are many people, and some things are really not something that can be done if you want to.
Sure enough, Mama came back later and said, "The ancestor said, no matter what, you have to go back for a reunion dinner today." At night, you don't have to follow into the palace, you want to play with the two little sons of the Xu family in the Xu Mansion, or go out to the street to watch the lanterns, it's all up to you. ”
Wei Qingyao was happy, he happily said goodbye to a few people in Chang'an, and then went back in a carriage.
If you don't go back, it will be difficult to come out next time, after all, I said when I came before, I will leave in the afternoon of the fourteenth. But today is fifteen, and he still wants to continue to rely on it.
It was rare for the old ancestor to take a step back, so he just went down the steps. Otherwise, next time I think about it, I don't have to think about it at all.
Wei Qingyao got up early to eat and left, but in the afternoon, before it was completely dark, he came back again.
Changping and Su Zheng joked to him, "What do you mean by running back and forth?" ”
Chang'an, Su Xuan, and Ban'er also joked with him, "I'm afraid I didn't even have dinner and ran over, right?" Feelings: You went back just to have a lunch, so that our Xu Mansion couldn't afford to take care of your meal. ”
Wei Qingyao waved his hand uncontrollably, "Don't make fun of me, I've had enough of being ridiculed at home today." "His cousins, as soon as they heard that he didn't follow the eldest princess into the palace tonight, they thought that he was disgusted by the old ancestor and didn't take him to the palace for the scenery, so they gossiped about him a lot.
Although they are all sour words that have no lethal power, they are hurtful in the end. For this reason, Wei Qingyao didn't even have the mind to have dinner at home.
The eldest princess also wanted to enter the palace for dinner, so he set off, he was bored at home, and he was too lazy to socialize with those cousins, so he also sent the ancestors under the pretext of going out together.
Wei Qingyao felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but there were some things that were not easy to mention no matter how good the relationship was. After all, family ugliness cannot be publicized, after all, it involves the royal relatives and relatives, and it is related to the face of the royal family, and some aspects are still taboo.
Wei Qingyao didn't say much, and the rest of the people didn't ask. It just so happened that it was not early now, and it was already time for dinner, so Jinniang sent someone to summon someone to come over, and a few boys went together.
Wei Qingyao didn't want to go over at first, after all, he was also an outsider, and it was a little taboo to get involved in other people's family gatherings on such a festive occasion.
At this time, he regretted going out too early, and he should have come back after using it perfectly. But when I came at that time, I only relied on my spirit and didn't think much about it at all, so it was too late to regret it at this time.
Wei Qingyao hesitated to go or not, and was hugged by Su Xuan's shoulders, "Let's go, it's over in a while, Auntie should be in a hurry." ”
Chang'an hugged the other side, "Ban'er didn't go because his parents were in the house, and their family also wanted to be reunited." But you're here, and it won't look good if you don't go. ”
Talking about the trouble, a few people arrived at the flower hall.
There are still a lot of people in the flower hall, in addition to Jin Niang and Xu Erlang, Pian Pian Changle and Xiao Yu'er, Xu Mu is also there.
This was expected, but Chang'an looked around and didn't see Father Xu.
He asked Changle with his eyes, "Where is grandfather?" ”
Xu's father's health had not improved earlier, on the one hand, because he was unstable and did not take medicine well. On the other hand, it was also because his condition had improved slightly, and he wanted to toss something. So back and forth that I didn't get up until the New Year.
It was only after the year that Gui Niangzi began to give him acupuncture, and in addition, with the treatment of medicinal baths, his condition improved.
And at this time, Father Xu also knew that he was afraid, and he didn't toss back and forth. honestly let Gui Niangzi diagnose and treat him, and did not make any trouble, so the condition recovered quickly. By the first two days, I was able to sit up. And according to the news from Xiaowu who got up early this morning, it was said that Father Xu could take two steps with his pulsating steps.
This is good news, for which Chang'an and Changping have also visited in person. confirmed that Xu's father's condition had indeed improved, and the two were happy for their grandfather from the bottom of their hearts.
However, we can all move around, so it's not too much to have a reunion dinner together, right? Why didn't you see anyone?
Changle understood Chang'an's inquiry, and felt embarrassed in his heart.
Can she say that her grandfather and grandmother quarreled and had an awkward quarrel, so she didn't come forward?
Of course, when my grandfather was lying in bed and couldn't move, I didn't quarrel with my grandmother. His grandmother relied on his grandfather's speech dysfunction to squeeze him.
But the old couple quarreled today, and tomorrow will be fine, so it stands to reason that they shouldn't "hold grudges". But this is the case, my grandfather not only held a grudge, but also held a grudge so much that he couldn't even stand to sit and eat with his grandmother.
Of course, this is on the surface. In fact, Changle felt that his grandfather didn't come forward because he didn't want to meet his second uncle.
The grandfather's resentment towards the second uncle was very deep, and the relationship between father and son was stiff. Grandfather didn't want to lose face in front of his second uncle, and he was afraid that his appearance would damage the majesty of his father, so he would rather wait until he was done and show off his might in front of his second uncle. As for now, he doesn't want to watch the excitement of others, and take out his depressed and embarrassed side for others to laugh at.
This idea is a bit nonsensical, but Changle keenly feels that maybe the above is the reason why his grandfather has not shown up so far.
However, what she said to the rest of the people, just think about it yourself, and the majesty of her grandfather ...... She'd better defend it for him.
This is also the only thing she, a granddaughter, can do for his old man.
The words and smiles of this meal are loud, and the guests and hosts are happy.
The Xu family did not have the rule of not saying anything, even if it existed earlier, it has now been abandoned. In short, the Xu family's dining table is very lively, Xiao Yuer and Changping seem to be talking cross talk, you say a word to me, what you say is very lively. There was also a sign of the old man mixed in, and the laughter at the dinner table continued.
A few people are now talking about going to the street to see the lanterns later, but neither Jinniang nor Xu Erlang have expressed their position on this. Jin Niang listened with a smile throughout the whole process, and from time to time she picked up vegetables for Xu Erlang, Xiao Yuer, Xu Mu and others. Xu Erlang peeled the shrimp for her, and sandwiched a dish that was a little far away from her and she liked it.
The husband and wife ate silently, and suddenly Jinniang called softly, "Changle." ”
Changle paused slightly as he took the eight pieces of crabs and prepared to dismantle the crabs, and looked at them curiously, "What's wrong with Auntie?" ”
Jin Niang was afraid that there were many people at the table, and there were outsiders, so she didn't say anything, but made a "two" gesture to Changle, and pointed to the crab on the plate in front of her.
Changle instantly understood what his aunt meant, and her pretty little face immediately turned red.
She is a person who likes to eat seafood, especially fish, shrimp and crabs, which are aquatic products in the sea.
When she was in Binh Duong before, because of the rarity of seafood, all she could eat was all kinds of dried seafood, and she didn't think seafood was delicious at that time. But when she came to the capital, there are abundant products, although the price is more expensive, but fresh seafood abounds, and she doesn't know when she has a soft spot for fresh seafood.
Crabs, in particular, really can't stop eating one.
But crabs are cold, which is especially harmful to a little girl like her, so her aunt stipulates that they eat at most one at a time. She was so happy with what she had just eaten that she forgot about this rule.
Changle was ashamed and ashamed, looking at the crab on the plate, and a little overwhelmed.
Put it back? That's a lot of faux pas.
But for my brothers? They don't like to eat these things, and they usually don't eat them.
was struggling, when I saw my aunt open her mouth and say, "Is Changle going to peel crabs for Xiaoyuer?" You can eat yours, and the crabs will be peeled by me and your second uncle. ”
Xiao Yu'er looked at her mother and sister with a confused face, why did she peel crabs for her, she didn't like to eat this.
