Auntie's Day
In addition to liking to read books in this life, Zhuyuan is also good at drinking, especially the peach blossom drunk from fragrant tea. Every year, the fragrant tea will pick the fresh peach blossoms that are not long after the buds first bloom, after cleaning, soaking and pickling, buried in the ground for 60 days, and taken out after 60 days, the aroma of the wine is really not intoxicating and everyone is drunk. For wine, Zhu Yuan didn't know it was a good thing before, and by chance, he saw his father Zhu Zhengwen drunk like mud, but he was still smiling, so strange, so he ordered Xiangming to go to the kitchen and ask for a jar of wine. That time after drinking a whole jar, after drinking dizzy, do not remember, and then fell asleep in a daze, this sleep for two days and two nights, when I woke up my mind was blank, but her eyes were a little different, and then I liked to drink, ignorant and worry-free, don't think about it, don't remember it, don't worry.
Master Zhu was hit the day before yesterday, and the Tobe waiter gave him a wedding card, and his youngest daughter, who was twenty-eight years old, also got married. Since receiving that post, he didn't think about tea and dinner, sighed, and Mrs. Zhu couldn't persuade him, worried that his body would not be able to bear it, and finally went to find Zhuyuan. Zhu Yuan brought two jars of peach blossoms to see him, and when he saw Zhu Zhengwen so depressed, he knew that this bamboo master really hurt himself. When Zhu Zhengwen saw his daughter coming, he immediately got up from the chair, happy and worried. I am happy that my daughter is so beautiful and delicate, her eyebrows are picturesque, and anyone who sees it will be moved, and the worry is that her daughter is indifferent and indifferent to love.
"Daddy, how about you please drink" Zhu Yuan lifted the peach blossom drunk in his hand, his eyebrows indifferent.
"Yuan'er invites wine, how can it be reasonable for a father not to drink" Master Zhu was still the first time to drink the wine invited by his daughter, and the smile on his face instantly climbed up his eyebrows.
"Mother, it's good for you to ask the kitchen to fry a few side dishes" Zhuyuan looked back at Hua Yu, Hua Yu instantly understood, and couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Okay, good, you drink slowly, I'll cook it myself", so he lifted the skirt and hurried away. After Hua Yu left, Zhu Yuan helped Zhu Zhengwen to sit down, took a glass cup and poured it full of peach blossoms, handed it to Zhu Zhengwen, and he picked up the whole altar of peach blossoms drunk and drank it at the mouth of the altar.
"Dad, have you heard of Liang Zhu" put down the wine jar, Zhu Yuan wiped the wine at the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, and asked Zhu Zhengwen this sentence without warning, Zhu Zhengwen was stunned, there was still some peach blossom drunk in the cup, put down the wine glass, and thought about it carefully.
"Naturally, I've heard it, it's very miserable, but fortunately, the ending is good, everything is fixed, and God is free to arrange it" Zhu Zhengwen looked at his daughter's face, and the sorrow that had been pressing on his heart didn't seem to be so heavy.
"Isn't it good that you can't love but can't, you can't live together, and you can't die together? Why do you want to turn into a butterfly and relive the pain of life and death? Zhu Yuan doesn't understand, but he has to suffer again in his miserable life, is this really a good ending.
"This ...... This is naturally people's fascination with beautiful love, and it is also a kind of sustenance, people do not yearn for and sustenance that is different from ants "Bamboo Masawen feels that in life, there will always be things you want, such as love, such as money, such as peace."
"If it were me, I wouldn't want to" As soon as the words were finished, Hua Yu brought some food with the slave maid, and her voice was hearty: "I'm afraid that this father and daughter have been waiting for a long time, hurry up and try my cooking skills, I haven't done it for a while, but I'm afraid it's a little unappetizing."
"No, my mother's meals have always been excellent" Zhuyuan picked up the silver chopstick, sandwiched a piece of chicken and put it in his mouth, chewing slowly.
"Yuan'er likes it, I'm happy for my mother, and if I like it, I'll eat more" Hua Yu's voice was a little choked, and she turned sideways to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and she was also happy about the changes in Zhuyuan today, and felt that this was her favorite child around her knees, and Chen Huan's knees.
"Dad, mother, just arrange it according to what you want, it's okay for me to try" After the meal, Zhuyuan still sat in the study for a while, but also figured out something, Zhuyuan didn't say it, he really liked the Zhu couple in his heart, this rare stability will never be experienced after reincarnation, why not take it seriously and feel it once, even if it's just family affection.
"Yuan'er, do you really want to figure it out? Daddy doesn't want to force you today, as long as you are happy, what if Daddy protects you for the rest of your life" Zhu Zhengwen had to stand up, and his words were excited, for fear that his daughter would wronged herself.
"It's okay, I won't wronged myself, my father and mother are at ease, Yuan'er is a little tired, so I will retire first" After saying goodbye to my father and mother, I called Xiangming back to his own courtyard.
According to the custom, at this time of the year, the young and old girls who have been married are invited back to their parents' homes, have a good meal, and then send them back. After Zhu Zhengwen knew his daughter Zhuyuan's thoughts, he had been planning for his daughter's marriage, and finally decided to entertain these young and old girls for the neighbors on the day of the Tianzhen Festival, hoping to find out if there was a good son who had not yet married a wife and had both ability and integrity. Originally, I also wanted to find an official family for generations, but the official eunuch family was mostly a group of wives and concubines, and I didn't want to wronged my daughter to be subordinate, as long as I found someone who was single-minded.
Some time ago, the maids and servants in the house have spread all over the streets and alleys, saying that there are unmarried sons and daughters in the family, and both men and women can come to Hongyanlou on the day of Auntie's Day to spend Auntie's Day, and the bamboo family has a big wine banquet. Although the rumors of Zhuyuan are not good, the Zhu family has a big business, and many married girls who have unmarried sons are ready to go, just waiting for their brothers to be recruited as bamboo sons-in-law. Si Lezhi also knew about this, but he felt that the daughter of the bamboo family should not be such a woman at the mercy of others.
At the feast of the Tianzhen Festival, the bamboo mansion spent a lot of money in the Hongyan Building, and the three-story restaurant was full of seats. The first and second floors are full of unmarried brothers brought by the girls, and the third floor is full of girls and dependents. These girls tasted good tea, tasted delicious delicacies, and thought that even if their brothers were not selected by the Bamboo Mansion, it would not be in vain. Saalman and Qian Lingyu were on the second floor at this time, and the two of them were too eye-catching, so they chose a corner location and drank sake leisurely and elegantly.
At noon, a gong and drum sounded, and the feast officially began. Zhu Zhengwen has already made arrangements, the first round by the maids holding pen and paper, respectively on the first floor and the second floor to the hands of each young man, let them each write a sentence, or poetry, can also be excerpted, its meaning is only the word, the word is the quality of the person, need to write the money, when the half pillar of incense. After the half-pillar of incense, it was taken back by the maids and handed over to Zhu Zhengwen for inspection, so as to eliminate the illiterate and scribbled man. After one round, many of the pen and paper were taken back untouched, and although the men were not eligible to participate, they could continue to participate in the feast.
In the second round of wine tasting, Zhu Yuan likes wine, and Zhu Zhengwen wants to find a man with a common hobby for his daughter to taste wine and talk. This round, by the bamboo master himself table by table pick, wine in the tongue out, drunk without virtue, drunk and strong wine are not selected, this round takes a long time, afraid that the guests are bored, Zhu Zhengwen ordered people on the stage on the first floor, playing the piano and singing, singing and dancing, is also comfortable. An hour later, most of the candidates were missing, and Zhu Zhengwen noticed that there were two men with elegant manners and handsome looks on the second floor, who were very satisfied and felt a little familiar.
The third round of reading, reciting sentences, this is naturally also Zhuyuan's preference. In this round, Master Zhu will choose a good story, and then let him go up to the third floor and read it to the girls on the third floor, and the girls will naturally know the girls' preferences. This round is the most exciting, many girls were amused to laugh, fragrant tea with the bamboo garden in the wing, hearing these laughter, itching, finally quietly opened a door, cautiously looked at the scene outside.
Some men, seeing that they are all women in the seat, are very shy, embarrassed to open their mouths and leave, although some men are not stage frightened, but they have no emotion in reading, and a good bridge is stunned to read the appearance of reading in class. There is another one, who is handsome and very emotional, but his expression is a little light, and the girls who look at it have low eyebrows and lowered their eyes, and their faces are red. Xiangming shook her head, and made up her mind in her heart, this look is to look for flowers and willows, recruit bees and butterflies, if this is her own lady with her, I am afraid that she will not want to wear the autumn water and keep the empty boudoir alone. The next one is also a handsome man, this man looks like a decent man, but he didn't read the joke of the book, but said strange things lightly: "This is your wishful thinking, why do you say this about me now?" ”。
Xiangming really didn't understand, so she covered the door and went into the back room to tell Zhuyuan everything she heard and saw. After speaking, he said with a blank face: "Miss, what do you mean by this son, why do you say these words, are you sincerely here to attend the banquet?" ”
"If you are not sincere, you won't say those words" Zhuyuan knew who the person was when he heard it, but he didn't know that he would come, for love, they were roughly the same, not too hearty, and they were only people who had met once.
"Really? Xiangming still doesn't understand" The more Xiangming listened, the more confused she became, and she felt that Miss was getting more and more difficult to understand.
"You go and tell your father, it's getting late, this banquet is over, by the way, invite the son just now in" She didn't think about other men, but Si Zhu was also considered to have lived and died together, since he said this, it must be a little interesting.
"Are you sure, Miss? It's just a hasty decision? Xiangming's eyes widened like brass bells, as if she had misheard.
"Just go."
