Chapter 23: What does it mean?

The ladies present all looked over one by one, and Zhu Jiu knew that they had a family affair a while ago.

Although it is an obscure relative, it is also a pro of the Shao family, and the side door is incomparable.

"What is this?" The old ancestor looked at it for a while, after all, people are not very sharp when they are old.

Mother Yu, who was beside her, hurriedly took the thing over, saw that it was very eye-catching, took it in her hand and looked at it, and said in a low voice: "Ancestor, this is a coarse linen handkerchief, and it is embroidered with kapok-like." ”

"Didn't you think the silk handkerchief was a little softer a while ago, but then you felt that it was better to be coarse and linen. No, Miss Zhu Jiu asked for a coarse hemp branch from the treasury a while ago, and it was still the hemp silk she smoked herself. Mother Yu said, and looked at Zhu Jiu's hands distressedly.

Turning his head, he called Aunt Jin: "The girl is tired, so she quickly went to get the jade ointment." ”

Aunt Kim replied.

Zhu Ling looked at this and suddenly snorted. It really made her hit the right thing by mistake, but it was just a rag-like thing, and it was said to be a good intention.

The ancestor took the handkerchief and touched it in his hand.

"Children and grandchildren are precious in their hearts, and it doesn't matter what is valuable." When the ancestor said this, Yu's mother rewarded the girl in front of her according to the rules of the girls.

After hearing this, Zhu Jiu hurriedly thanked the reward.

This person came out of the inner hall, and there was Zhu Ling next to him.

When he arrived at the door, Zhu Ling breathed a sigh of relief, "Sister Zhu Jiu's mind is really coincidental!" In the end, it was the late Aunt Fu who taught her well, and her ability to confuse people was not left behind at all. ”

Her New Year's gift is a rare glass, although the ancestor said that it sounded good and let her come to the temple more in the future, who didn't know that this was just a nice word.

can be rewarded, she is just a concubine.

However, her glass bracelet was not as good as a rag from others, but won the jackpot.

Zhu Jiu stepped out of the outer hall, and Chunxing, who was waiting outside, immediately handed over a cloak to wrap her girl.

Zhu Ling, who came up from behind, looked at Zhu Jiu and ignored her, stepped forward and grabbed her wrist: "Sister Zhu Jiu didn't answer, Sister Zhu didn't talk to you at all." ”

Zhu Jiu glanced at the hand holding his wrist, raised his eyes to look at Zhu Ling, and smiled slightly: "There is a saying that if you say too much, you will lose, and my sister should say less and behave more, so as not to go wrong." ”

What do you mean by that? I'm older, you're an older sister, don't you still use you to teach me how to speak? Zhu Ling was angry, thinking that Zhu Jiu had pressed her head, how could she be happy.

If that's the case, it's okay, Zhu Ling has a pimple in his heart, and he always feels that Zhu Jiu is looking at her for something.

Zhu Jiu didn't want to take care of her, so he pulled out his arm and hung it into his sleeve.

"Sister Zhu Ling knows it, Miss Zhu Eight is my mother's compatriot, and my sister is still alive, how can people insult her?" Zhu Jiu left without looking back, and Zhu Ling, who was standing in place, did not understand the meaning of these words.

The excitement of the Chinese New Year's Eve is the real beginning of the night vigil, go to the Zhutang Yuan in the morning to get a reward, leave lunch in your own yard, and dinner is the family reunion dinner

It was just noon, and Zhu Jiu sat in the main house and read the biography when he was idle on weekdays.

But I couldn't look at it now, and my eyes stared out for a while.

Chun Xing saw that her girl was stunned, and lightly brought the pastry to the table, and then added charcoal to the fire.

"What is the girl thinking? If that little biography is not good-looking, when the new year comes out, the girl will be able to go to the school to learn, and she must be very happy. Chun Xing said and reached out to take the small pass from her girl's hand.

Zhu Jiuhui chuckled: "It's just that I feel that the time is passing slowly." ”

It's just noon at this time, and the real show will be the New Year's Eve meeting!

When night came, each room also went to the temple to eat.

Because it is necessary to keep the New Year, after the ringing noon, all rooms are resting, so as not to be unable to keep it at night, which is also the old rule.

"I wish Miss Jiu, my aunt Miss Yang will wait a while." Zhu Jiugang came over with Chunxing, and one foot was about to step into the door.

Looking at the maid in front of him, he couldn't help but look at Chunxing.

Chun Xing asked, "Who is your aunt?" ”

"Aunt Wu in the big room." The maid replied truthfully, and Zhu Jiu stopped for a while before watching people come.

Speaking of Aunt Wu, last time she left Aunt Wu's gift alone.

Although I don't know what the other party intends to do, there will always be a time to come to the door, so don't you just wait.

Aunt Wu came at this time, dressed in a flower-picking cloak, with a smile on her face: "I thought about visiting your yard before, but I couldn't get free to come." ”

"Zhu Jiu has seen my aunt, and I am already satisfied to have my aunt's concern." Zhu Jiu said with a slight salute, a smile on the corner of his mouth.

She and Aunt Wu have no grievances, but which room doesn't have a dog's leg?

The things that Aunt Seventh gave her were certainly poisonous, but she had always been cautious and determined not to do so.

That thing is nothing more than her girl's hand, it is nothing more than a knock on her from the big house.

It's just that he took pity on Chunlin's life, and said that if it was gone, it would be gone.

Aunt Wu sighed, "Look at your thinness, now that your life is getting better, you have to take care of your body." Eat what you should eat, don't eat what you shouldn't eat, now you can't get married, lest you take your aunt's time. ”

"I don't understand what Aunt Wu said." Zhu Jiu raised his eyes and looked at her.

Whether it was in the previous life, or in this life, Zhu Jiu never thought about his aunt's death, after all, life was not good.

When a person suddenly fell ill, the master mother was harsh and did not ask for a doctor, which was used to seeing in the door.

Hearing Zhu Jiu's question, Aunt Wu realized that she was too talkative, and immediately changed her words: "This is the New Year, look at which pot I really don't open, let's go in quickly and be cold outside." ”

Aunt Wu's words reminded Zhu Jiu, and she stood outside the door for a while without moving her feet when people entered.

Chun Xing called her a few times before she came back to her senses, "Girl....."

"Chunxing, Mother Zhao left early." When the words fell, Zhu Jiu stepped into the courtyard.

Chun Xing felt strange, how could the girl mention Mother Zhao again.....

At the reunion night, the entire Zhu family, the old men and women of the side branch came.

For a while, it was very lively, more than half of the meal was no longer eaten, the annual stage also started singing, the sound of silk and bamboo sounded, and the lights in the house were bright and full of laughter.

At this time, Zhu Ling quietly left the table, and Chun Xing saw that she was busy talking to her own girl.

After hearing this, Zhu Jiu said: "I want to eat that lotus root, you go and ask Aunt Jin if you have it?" ”

"Huh, the slave is going to ask." Chun Xing said goodbye and went to find Aunt Jin.

Aunt Jin happened to be free, so she went to the lotus pond in the back mountain to dig lotus roots. There are not many people who love to eat this lotus root, and it is only used to make lotus root flour cake in spring.
