Chapter 19: Reunion Night

The New Year is about to end, and the 29th day is the reunion night in the doors of the family, which is very lively.

But in the thirtieth of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the Zhu family is the most lively time.

Like the ordinary people, they kept vigil at night, and the lights in the door were bright until the next day the east was white.

The three masters of the South Courtyard only came back today, and the old men of each room all returned to Zhu's house a few days in advance.

As soon as Zhu Jiu got up from sleep, he listened to Chunxing, who was waiting in the house, say this: "This time, the master came back from the Nanshang Kingdom, and I heard that the maids and ladies in the door went to answer this morning, and ran errands back and forth for an hour before they counted all the things into the warehouse!" ”

Chun Xing was skillful, and as she was talking, she had already combed Zhu Jiu's hair.

At the end, he took the gold-plated hairpin in the hairpin box, and when he was about to put the hairpin on, he was stopped by Zhu Jiu: "My father came back once in half a year, and he brought back a lot of rare things." ”

After that, he reached out and took a peach wood carved hairpin and handed it to Chunxing.

Chun Xing looked at it and couldn't help but say: "The girl is going to the main courtyard to eat today, and it is rare to see the master, counting, I haven't seen her for two years." ”

She felt that the girls in the door wanted to dress up handsomely, so that the master could have some impression of her own girls.

There are more than a dozen girls in these three rooms alone, and it is even more difficult to recognize those young masters.

"Daddy is doing business outside on weekdays, and he likes his face outside, so he doesn't have to pay attention to these at home." In the previous life, it was also the Zhu family who left in the fifteenth year.

Although he has only seen his father a few times since he was a child, he knows that he doesn't like his children to wear gold and silver on weekdays.

In the evening, the girls of the door went to the main courtyard.

Zhu Jiu only arrived in Nanxiang Garden in the past few days, because it was close to the New Year, and the aunts and girls couldn't pull away.

I didn't go around in the past few days, that is, the two girls in the boudoir garden never met, but she was not in good health, and no one was idle to talk.

At this time, Zhu Jiu took Chunxing to the main courtyard, and the girls in the door had already arrived one after another.

"I wish Miss Ling well."

When he arrived at the door, Zhu Jiu ran into Zhu Ling, and Chun Xing beside him saluted slightly and spoke.

Zhu Jiu Shili said: "Sister Zhu Ling." ”

I wish the family to be respectful and humble, and these etiquette things must not be left behind. What's more, yesterday, this Zhuling was named into the main courtyard again, and I am afraid that he will have to live in the boudoir in the near future.

When the time comes, I really don't look up and look down.

Zhu Ling glanced at Zhu Jiu and snorted: "Sister Zhu Jiu doesn't need to be polite, and it is inconvenient for me to talk to my sister." I went to your yard a few days ago, but it's really unlucky! ”

Saying this, Zhu Ling turned his head and was about to enter the door.

"Chunlin went suddenly, and when I fell asleep these days, I always felt that she was still waiting in the house, and she was also the one who had been with me for a few years." Zhu Jiu's expression was gloomy, and his eyes turned red as he spoke.

Hearing this, Zhu Ling paused slightly, turned his head and glared at Zhu Jiu angrily: "Sister, you can speak carefully, today is twenty-nine, tomorrow will be the Chinese New Year's Eve." Now that it's the New Year, how can you still say such nonsense. It's good to let the housewife listen, otherwise my sister is afraid that the whole door will not be peaceful. ”

Zhu Ling was annoyed, in the end, he was still a young person who couldn't stand talking.

Zhu Jiu just said that when he fell asleep, he felt that Chunlin was still there, and when he saw her like this, he said: "What my sister said is very true, and my sister won't mention it anymore." ”

"It's good that you know." Zhu Ling said, for fear of hearing Zhu Jiu's words again, so he simply quickened his steps and entered the door.

Zhu Jiu just glanced at Chun Xing and didn't say much.

This will enter the main courtyard, and the girl and the aunts will be seated.

Today, we are eating as a family, and there is no distinction between men and women.

There were four tables in the hall, and the aunts and girls in the door were already seated.

After a while, when the three old men and three ladies came over from the inner hall, Nan's mother told her to pass the food.

The girls from the third lady and the girls who entered the main courtyard were seated at the table of the main mother.

Those who did not enter the main courtyard were seated separately.

The aunts sat down, and the table where Zhu Jiu sat was the most partial.

During the meal, the aunts and the old man ate wine and said auspicious words, and then it was the turn of the girls and boys to move their chopsticks.

After half a moment of the meal, the third master talked about what he had seen and heard outside this year.

The dishes on the table began to be withdrawn, and then the maid brought snacks and sweet soup to the table.

"Business has been successful this year, and there was a war near the wax moon. In the coming year, I will go to the northern country, but in the north of this northern country, most of the noodles are eaten, which is very different from the customs of the apocalypse. When the third master said this, his eyebrows were locked with sorrow.

A few young masters in the door who had already taken over the shop heard this, so they said: "I have also heard about the north of the northern country that my father said, and most of the people there are different from the apocalypse, not to mention food, and their clothes are also different. They don't like splendid silk, but like coarse cloth. ”

At that time, it was Aunt Yun's son who spoke, and his name was Zhu Ying, who was over seventeen years old this year.

I only landed the shops in Lincheng a few months ago, and I went for a few months, and I didn't come back until the end of the year.

When it comes to the northern kingdom, the other boys have never heard of it, and they can't talk about it.

When Zhu Jiu saw him speak, he couldn't help but look over.

The third master was going to the north next year, and when he heard that his own kid had heard about it, he asked two more questions.

The others couldn't answer, and just listened to the father and son talking. Seeing this, the third lady couldn't help coughing lightly and glanced at her own boy.

The two girls born by the third lady are a child, that is, the three concubines in the third room.

Speaking of this young master, although he is in charge of the shop on weekdays, he is used to eating too much flower wine outside, and he is only nineteen years old this year.

The third room is looked down upon, and it is no wonder that others are not angry.

At that moment, the young master Zhu Jing took over with a proud face: "The northern country also doesn't know how good rice food and splendid silk are, if my father takes the business away in the coming year, he will definitely let the lonely and unheard of northern country have a long insight." ”。

When the third master heard what he said, his face sank slightly.

Even Zhu Ying, who was about to speak, moved the corners of his mouth and stopped talking.

It was only a moment in the hall, and the atmosphere was different from that of Fang Cai.

"Because of the drought in the northern country, there is no rain all year round, so we have to grow wheat, so we like pasta. I have also heard that the people of the northern country have cattle and sheep in every household, and although the wool is not as good as the splendid silk of the apocalypse, it is better at keeping out the cold. Hearing Zhu Jiu's voice coming from the corner, everyone present looked at her.

Zhu Jiu smiled, a pair of phoenix eyes were quite aura, and he looked at the plain face but also the eyes were very eye-catching.

What she said was reasonable, but the third master looked at Zhu Jiu and looked at it, and he didn't remember which of his daughters this was.
