Tian Jiang stared for a long time and said with a smile: "Life is like a divergent road in the north and south, and the world is scattered like a wind....... This must have been done by Xu Shoufu. He borrowed a few words from the wind, old dreams, time, and the countryside to express the ups and downs of the waves of the Huan Sea, and it was not easy to dominate for half a life, and perhaps in the end it was just a beautiful dream, and the high position of the 'Jintang Jade Horse' to the frustration of the 'Purple Fence Cottage' was unbearable for everyone. On the surface, it seems that the old officials of the court see through fame and fortune, and they are disgusted with inaction, but in fact, it is not. ”

"But those whose hearts are like ashes will not pick peach blossoms, swallows and catkins such as spring words, but probably use residual flowers, twilight crows and dead vines to set off the artistic conception. If you really understand it thoroughly, the surface scenery of the golden hall and the jade horse, and the comfort of the purple fence hut, aren't you always sad? It's just an excuse for Xu Shoufu to cover up and fool others. ”

She continued: "Life is like a divergent road between the north and the south, and it is not early to meet Yutang...... Although the artistic conception of this poem is vivid, it is full of sorrow and fear, just like the sigh of a resentful woman, and it is by no means the style of the second master. ”

Shen Zetang smiled when he heard this: "What is my wind and bones?" ”

Tian Jiang's eyes were shining, and he looked at his clear face: "Life is a hot and dead, if you are ambitious, why not do it violently." No one can be more wonderful than the words of the second master. ”

Shen Zetang's expression was complicated and indistinguishable, he was silent for a while, and sighed and hugged her tightly: "Being too smart may not be a good thing." ”

Tian Jiang pursed his lips and said seriously: "Then I'll make myself stupid!" ”

"So obedient ........" Shen Zetang lowered his head to find her lips, Tian Jiang wanted to raise his neck to greet her, but he avoided it: "Second master, what do you want to do?" ”

There was a sound of brocade forging rubbing the ground, and then there was a "hiss" crack, Shen Zetang's voice was hoarse and smiled: "Jiu'er, you can be smarter at this time.......

Cuimei and Lanxiang were fighting leaves on the hot kang in the bright room, Cai Rong was pointing out for Lanxiang on the side, Cuimei lost a few handfuls, took out three coins of silver to Lanxiang, waved her hand and stopped playing, Cai Rong smiled and said: "Don't be anxious to be white-faced, when tomorrow is divided into the New Year's coin, you will no longer feel sorry for the three coins of silver." ”

Cuixiang was celebrating the New Year in the Shen Mansion for the first time, and was about to ask in more detail, when Mama Tao lifted the curtain and leaned in: "Why are you still playing cards?" Hot water in the room. ”

Cuixiang hurriedly put her shoes on the kang, and the door was blown cold by a wisp of cold wind, and the heavy snow stopped at some point, and a bright moon hung in the sky.

..................................

On the thirtieth day of the lunar month, the time of Mao.

Shen Zetang finished washing in the clean room, dressed neatly, and then lifted the curtain into the room, the lights were on, and Tian Jiang was being served by Cai Rong to dress.

He wanted to enter the palace to congratulate him because he got up early, looked out the window and saw that it was still dark, and when he saw that she was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, he was distressed, and frowned on the chair and said: "Go to the couch and sleep a little longer, no one dares to say anything about you." ”

Tian Jiang rubbed his eyes: "This time I want to worship my ancestors in the ancestral hall, and I want to hold a feast in the whole house, I will definitely go to see it for the first time, although it is hard, but I can rest assured, even if I am on a business trip, I have a clear conscience, and I always try my best." ”

"Why didn't you tell me last night....... Shen Zetang took a sip of tea, if he knew that she was going to get up early this day to take care of things, he wouldn't have lost his self-control last night, and he would not stop messing with her.

Tian Jiang blushed, the second master was cheap and behaved, but suddenly he was much more sober, and after washing, he sat in front of the dressing table to comb his makeup, Shen Zetang watched it for a while, until Shen Huan came to invite him, and then said goodbye and left.

There was nothing to do in the morning, Mrs. Shen and the He family had a seal, and the second and third masters of Shen had official positions, and they all entered the palace to congratulate them.

Tian Jiang and the steward sorted out all the things of the ancestor worship and the feast, and saw that everything was ready, so he went back to the room to take a free rest for half an hour, Cuimei was vigilant for her, and heard that the sedan chair that had entered the palace from the second gate was back, so she hurried in to call her.

When the ancestor worship was completed, it was already Shen, and everyone followed Mrs. Shen to the main room of Fushan Hall, naturally the master walked in front, and the housekeeper and maid in the house lined up with a smile and walked neatly behind.

Xia Chan and a few maids took the lotus pad and placed it at the feet of Mrs. Shen, first He and Shen Qinglin stepped forward to kowtow, and Mrs. Shen rewarded it, and specially called Xichun to come to her, and rewarded a pair of jade bracelets, and asked a few words.

He sat on the right side of the chair, Shen Qinglin sat on the fourth side of the left because he was the eldest grandson, and the first three were reserved for Shen Erye, Third Master and Fifth Master.

Then Shen's second grandfather, Tian Jiang, led Shen Li forward to salute, and Mrs. Shen hurriedly said, "Second daughter-in-law doesn't need to kowtow." Tian Jiang blessed his body, said some auspicious words, and then walked to the side, Shen Erye and Shen Li knelt on the cushion and kowtowed, Shen Erye was still wearing the court clothes that entered the palace, wearing a six-beam crown, and behaving very elegantly between the ends of the robe.

Old Madam Shen rewarded Tian Jiang with a brocade box, and with a heavy weight, Shen Erye took the cage into her sleeve for her, Shen Li got the gold bill, she looked at it carefully, and finally swallowed it back if she wanted to say something.

Next is the three-room ceremony, Mrs. Shen looked at Cui's and asked, "Is your body good?" ”

Cui Shi hurriedly smiled: "The Hongfu of my mother's trust is much better than the one I saw a few days ago." ”

Old Madam Shen bowed her head, saw Mei Yun following behind, combed the woman's head, didn't want to see her in her heart, pulled the corners of her mouth and rewarded the New Year's money, and there was no more to follow.

Shen Yan glanced at the gold coin in his hand and smiled: "Grandmother looks at me This is a willow leaf style, can you change it to a peach blossom style?" I love peach blossoms. ”

Shen Sanye frowned, reprimanding him for having no rules, and Cui Shila's face was yellow and silent.

Old Madam Shen beckoned her to come to her, took the bulging brocade bag on her side, and smiled kindly: "Grandmother's eyes are not good, you can pick it yourself." ”

Shen Sanye was a little helpless: "How can grandmother get used to her like this." ”

"It's still a child who understands something." Old Madam Shen didn't think so, let Shen Yan pick a peach blossom bill, and wanted to return the original one, so she blocked it and gave it to her, Shen Yan was very happy.

Second Master Shen glanced at Shen Li, but did not speak, and then looked in the direction of the female dependent opposite, his expression froze, the chair was empty, and Tian Jiang was missing, he thought about it, stood up and walked out of the door.

He Shi turned sideways and whispered to Cui's family: "The second brother and sister are capable, looking at their young age, they are managing things in an orderly manner and are not messy. However, he has no experience in ordering a table at the Hehuan banquet, but it is very easy to make mistakes, and the three brothers and sisters really plan to stand by and watch like this? ”

Cui Shi was eating tea with a cup, and said lightly when he heard this: "The eldest sister-in-law also said, the second sister-in-law is very capable, if she really encounters difficulties, be modest, come and talk to me, although I am sick and can't enter the kitchen, it's okay to mention her a few words." ”

Before He could say anything, Shen Mian came over to salute her, and pulled him to ask him if he couldn't stand his habits, whether he ate well, and whether he could enter the school to study, and rewarded him with golden beans.

Cui's gaze passed through the gap between the bodies of the male and female servants, and the third master and the fifth master were talking closely, but the second master was gone.
