"Don't," Gorou smiled and discussed, "Eighth sister, aren't you planning to open a woodware shop recently?" When the time comes, it will definitely be indispensable to run out, how about asking your fifth brother to escort you when the time comes? ”

She wants to go out, naturally the family has to follow, in fact, there are thirteen, it doesn't matter if the brothers go or not, Gorou is looking for an opportunity to go out and let off steam, even if it is my grandmother's birthday these days, my father and second brother are indeed watching it closely.

However, she didn't dare to respond to this, if it affected the fifth brother's studies, it would be a lifetime thing, and she couldn't afford such a heavy responsibility.

Banniang thought for a while and said: "Fifth brother, you have to be more serious yourself, your studies are not fun, if you don't delay your studies, of course I hope you can accompany me in and out, but if you don't care about your studies, I don't dare to ask my father and second brother to let you go out with me to do things, besides, if you just don't go, I can also ask Cang'er to go, really, she is better than you." ”

Gorou was depressed, he knew that this ghost girl was fine, not so easy to coax, in fact, in terms of academic matters, where did he dare to relax? It's just that I've been a little upset lately, and I want to find a chance to go out to breathe: "Forget it, it's been a tiring day, you can rest early, and I'll follow my second brother to read a book for a while." Tomorrow morning you will also get up early and plant wormwood peach branches with us. ”

The next day of the Dragon Boat Festival, early in the morning, the brothers and sisters of the Zeng family got up early, the yard was busy, each door was inserted with wormwood, fragrant peach branches and other things, breakfast in the kitchen was also ready, the day before Wu led Aunt Yang and Aunt Huang, also wrapped a lot of rice dumplings with various fillings, and cooked a lot of salted duck eggs pickled earlier.

Banniang didn't go to the restaurant because she wanted to prepare meals for the family at home, because she was busy with the old lady's birthday banquet a few days ago, and some people's gifts were not delivered.

After breakfast, the old grandmother and Zhu's An's family tied a hundred suo to the children, put on a sachet, and the girls put five poisonous hairpins on their heads, and after lunch, several children, including Ba Niang, took a herb soup bath, smeared realgar wine to drive away evil spirits, and then let them play by themselves.

Banniang went to Sheraton in the afternoon to take a look.

Seeing that there is nothing to do in the store, and the business is very good, Lu Changan can basically hold up the façade these days, she is happy to worry, just thinking about the Qingming cold food, busy with things in the store, and not going out to play, the Dragon Boat Festival will not go out to take a good turn, this spring, I will miss it again, and in a few days, it will really be summer.

I went home and discussed with my second brother that in the past few days, while the third uncle's family has not left home to take up his post, can he take his brothers and sisters to Magu Mountain to play, after all, there are not many days for such a family to get together. It's a pity that the uncle's family couldn't come back.

Junshan is known as the first mountain in Jiangxi, Nanfeng City can look up to its majestic posture from afar, although Banniang also wants to go to Junshan to climb high and look far, but Junshan is more meaningful to climb the top when Chongyang, and Magu Mountain is a tourist attraction.

Magu Mountain is named after the fairy Magu, according to the Jin Ge Hong's "Legend of the Immortals" said: Magu got the Tao in Jianchang, when Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty, the immortal Wang Fangping descended to Cai Jing's house, such as Magu, when Magu was only eighteen or nineteen years old, she looked very beautiful, I heard her say to Wufangping that she had dreamed several times that the East China Sea had become a mulberry field, and later the word "vicissitudes of the sea" came from this. Because according to legend, March 3 is the birthday of the Queen Mother of the West, Magu picks Ganoderma lucidum and makes wine here, and wants to go to the Yaochi Pan Tao Club to offer wine to the Queen Mother of the West to celebrate her birthday. Therefore, there is an allusion to "Magu offering her birthday".

Later, Magu attained Taoism in this mountain, and Magu Mountain, which showed off in the southeast, became a famous Taoist mountain in the history of Taoism.

Zeng Zi Guyuan was also depressed because he was not in the Jinshi and was slandered by others, only on the occasion of his grandmother's birthday, he didn't dare to show it at all, listening to Banniang's suggestion, he rubbed Banniang's head, and said with a smile: "Okay, if the eighth sister wants to go, the second brother will take you there." It's just that mountaineering is not an easy thing to do, if you can't climb to the top of the mountain, the second brother won't help you, and your brothers won't be allowed to help you. ”

Banniang has been practicing martial arts with Cang'er for almost a year, she can't fight, climb a mountain, she doesn't believe that she can't, so she patted her chest and promised: "Second brother rest assured, I won't drag everyone back, and when the time comes, I will compare with the second brother to see who climbs to the top of the mountain first, why don't we set up a prize, the first one to climb the top of the mountain, we will also reward it, how about it?" ”

Zeng Zigu asked with a smile: "Eighth sister, tell me, what reward do you want?" ”

Banniang tilted her head and thought for a while, before she said: "Last time, I wanted the second brother to bring back a second sister-in-law from Beijing, although I didn't bring it back, but I also have a second sister-in-law, this time if I am the first to climb to the top of the mountain, why don't the second brother give me a prize book of his own poetry or anthology?" ”

"The second brother didn't," Zeng Zigu shook his head with a smile, "I went back to Beijing, and the teacher gave me a fan, with the words mentioned by Cai Junmo himself, you have always loved calligraphy, Cai Junmo is now a thousand words, and now we are in the Great Song Kingdom, and we can beat Mr. Cai in calligraphy, and I can't find a few, how about the reward of the second brother?" ”

The famous calligrapher of the Great Song Dynasty is nothing more than Su Huang Mi Cai, could it be that the Cai Junmo mentioned by the second brother is the "Cai Xiang" among the four people? If it really is, even if it is said that no one in the Great Song Kingdom can be better than anyone in calligraphy now, it is not an exaggeration, after all, Su Dongpo, Huang Tingjian and Mi Fu are three, even if they are born now, they are probably still little children.

"Okay, the second brother has to talk about it." Banniang nodded happily, this is a celebrity's handwriting, which can be passed down as a family heirloom. In fact, Banniang mentioned Zeng Zigu's poetry collection, but she thought that her family now has some money, and the second brother Zhiling has not yet published a poetry collection, so it is better to publish a book for the second brother. This is a very useful way for the second brother's poems to circulate among the folk ladies and increase the popularity of the second brother. However, there is no rush in this matter, there is always time.

Zeng Zigu looked at his sister's bright smiling face like the bright moon, and couldn't help but feel good.

The next day, I talked to my father about taking my younger siblings to Youjun Mountain.

Zeng Budo didn't say anything, and he also knew in his heart that the three children had not been selected for the Jinshi, and he felt uncomfortable in his heart, so he said: "If you want to go, just let your eldest brother Ziye go together, but you can't play in vain, just call a few of them small, and everyone will write a travelogue when they come back, and then I will evaluate with your third uncle, and the worst will be punished." You and Ziye forget it, the best, we also have a reward. ”

Zeng Zigu gave his father's instructions to his younger brothers and sisters, some people were happy and some were worried, Zeng Zigu saw that Banniang and a few girls didn't take it to heart, so he smiled and said: "Don't think it's just a matter of a few of their men, you girls have to write too." ”

Because the third brother-in-law and the third sister also wanted to go with them, Banniang asked with a smile: "Then do you want the third sister to write a travelogue?" ”

Sanniang quipped: "Do you think the third sister only understands firewood, rice, oil and salt?" I'll really come out in the whole article when I look back, and I'll see if you still laugh. ”

Banniang hurriedly turned around, snuggled up to Sanniang, and said with a smile: "Where do you dare to laugh at the third sister, in the past, my grandmother chattered all day long, if you want to say that our Zeng family's daughter is the best writer, it is our Sanniang." ”

Zeng Sanniang was satisfied: "This is about the same. ”

The third brother-in-law, Guan Jinghui, also smiled on the side: "Your third sister married into our family, served her in-laws, raised her children, and had a big family to do. When you go back, you all hide some clumsiness, let her let it go. ”

The third sister-in-law's house is in Shanyin County, Yuezhou, that is, Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province in Banniang's previous life. There surrounded by water and mountains, not far from Lin'an City, is also a more prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River, but the conditions of the Guan family, and the previous Zeng family is similar, this third sister is thrifty by nature, the most love to help others, but where others have any difficulties, as long as she can help, will lend a hand, plus support for her in-laws to filial piety, her mother-in-law has been sick in bed for a long time, she serves day and night, diet and medicine have always been personally cooked, in the entire township where the mother-in-law is located, everyone mentions the daughter-in-law of the Guan family, and has to say a good daughter-in-law, almost become a model of being a daughter-in-law.

Although there is nothing wrong with teaching shun, and there is nothing wrong with helping others, but the third sister herself is too bitter, looking at her complexion when she first came back, she is thin and yellow, and Banniang's evaluation of the virtuous daughter-in-law is really a little disagreeable.

However, everyone's values and concepts of life are different, although she doesn't think about the hard work of the third sister, but she also respects it in her heart. After listening to the words of the third brother-in-law, he made a grimace at the six mothers and seven mothers and Yun Xian on the side, and said with a smile: "Ouch, the third brother-in-law is really good to the third sister, and even this has to order us, for fear that we will win the third sister and make the third sister sad." Brother-in-law, don't worry, we are her own sister, although we can't say that we love her like you, but it hurts very much in my heart......"

Rao is a person who has been married to Sanniang for many years, and he was also blushed by Banniang's smile, so he glanced at Guan Jinghui, and scolded Banniang and the others: "Even my sister dares to make fun of me, see if I don't put on your skin." ”

Sanniang and Zeng Zigu are only two years apart, born to a mother, and they have grown up together since childhood, and their feelings are different from those of other younger brothers and sisters, so they slapped Banniang's head and said with a smile: "Eighth sister, your mouth is getting sharper and sharper, and the second brother will teach you a lesson." ”

pulled Guan Jinghui and Shiro again: "Let's go, although I'll go out to play, you guys can also read a book for a while, brother-in-law, how about you and I play chess?" ”

When the people left, Zeng Sanniang's face was as usual, and Banniang chatted with her about the customs of Yuezhou.

Before he could say anything for a while, he saw Yun Xian, who had just gone to the old lady in the front yard to get her tricks, ran in and said, "Oh no, it's not good, third sister, eighth sister, you guys should go to the front yard to have a look." ”

The four sisters on the floor hurriedly stood up, Sanniang pulled Yun Xian, patted her back, helped her calm her breath, and said, "What's wrong?" Why are you running in such a hurry? What's going on in the front yard? You speak slowly. ”
