The third more.

The autumn rain ended, and then it was sunny for six or seven days in a row, and the mud on the streets was all dry, but the leaves of the locust trees had almost fallen, and when I looked at the past, there were bare branches everywhere, and as soon as the wind blew, I saw those branches trembling, which made people feel cold. This means that winter is coming.

The He family has been dividing up in the past two days, or it is said that the family is not divided, and the Dalang Xue family stayed to live with He Zhizhong and Mrs. Cen, and the rest of the following moved out. The first people to move away were Erlang's family, although the Bai family didn't say it, they were in a very good mood, Lisuo competently commanded his subordinates to move things, and the nephews and nieces asked for help, and she accepted it honestly and unceremoniously, and arranged all the affairs properly.

When encountering this kind of thing, the children are the most happy, running in and out excitedly, asking what to eat at noon and what to eat at night. The rest of the people went out to help, only Mrs. Cen, an old man, and Peony, a special person, were left sitting and drinking tea and eating snacks and gossiping.

Mrs. Cen held her chin with one hand, and her eyes were a little distracted: "I used to think that this house was narrow and crowded, but in the future, it will be too wide and deserted." "A family of twenty or thirty people suddenly scattered to only a few people, even at night, they would feel much colder.

Peony knew that she was uncomfortable, so she smiled and said, "It's not that far you go, you can often go home to accompany you." When He Hong and He Wei become relatives, it will naturally be lively again, but I am afraid that you will feel noisy again. ”

Madame Cen shook her head slightly. No matter how filial the son is, as long as he has his own home alone, he will not go home often, and it is not easy to come to the festival every ten days and a half months. Whether you admit it or not, you always have more in mind about your small family and your wife and children. Even if it's herself.

The old man's mood has not been personally experienced and cannot be experienced, even if he is comforted, he will feel that the words of comfort are very pale and empty, and Peony simply bypassed this topic: "I heard that the Duke of Zhu sent you an invitation?" Who sent it? ”

Mrs. Cen said lightly: "Yes." The chief steward of his family sent it. ”

Peony was in a very unhappy mood. The He family and the Jiang family are theoretically in-laws, but Jiang Chong and others have never come to the door in person, Jiang Changyi wants to get married, how can such a major event be that the official members of the family should come to invite them, just let a steward send it, this is not to see the He family in the eyes. Maybe if he sent this invitation, his family still felt that it was to show the face of the He family. The more Peony thought about it, the more uncomfortable she became: "Since you don't understand etiquette so much, you don't have to go." ”

"Ridiculous!" He Zhizhong walked in irritably, glared at Peony lightly, and then snatched Mrs. Cen's teacup, drank all the tea soup inside, and then sat and sulked. Mrs. Cen clapped his hands and said angrily, "It's not that there is no cup again, why are you robbing me." ”

"I'm thirsty." He Zhizhong suppressed the sadness and sadness caused by the dispersal of his children, and said: "His family doesn't know etiquette, but we can't let people laugh at us." We're going to give you and Chengfeng this face! We discussed it, and the gift was generous, and the people didn't go. "His family refused to meet, so naturally they didn't need to rush to meet. When the etiquette comes, everyone can get by on the face.

Peony is not worth it: "There is no need to give a generous gift, just follow the crowd and get by." If you send more, people won't think we're good. "That's no different from a ròu bun beating a dog. The Duke of Zhu treated the He family like this, and it made her angry ten times more than treating her like this.

"But if you send less, you will definitely think that we are not good!" He Zhizhong said lightly: "I'm not here to make them feel comfortable, I'm here to make people outside not look down on Chengfeng and don't despise you." ”

Peony knew that what he said was right, but she just felt uncomfortable in her heart.

Seeing this, Mrs. Cen smiled at the back of the peony's hand, and said softly: "Don't be angry about such a small thing, the most important thing for you now is self-cultivation." If you feel good, you will be good, and if you feel evil, you will be evil. Sleep not sideways, sit on the side, stand not lame, do not eat evil tastes, do not follow the left way, do not eat if you do not cut right, do not sit on the seat, do not look at evil sè, do not listen to the sound of the ear, do not speak arrogantly, do not hold evil weapons in the hand, chant scriptures at night, and talk about ritual music in the court. The children born in this way will be described as upright and virtuous. Although we are not so particular, you should pay more attention to it. Don't believe it, my mother is here, and when my mother was pregnant with your brother and sister, it was like this. ”

In the past, when Zhang was pregnant with a child, he paid special attention to prenatal education, and when he heard Liulang say how to gamble, he walked away quietly, and she felt that Zhang was really cautious. Now it's her turn, and she should be cautious, Peony laughed, and relieved her heart: "I'm not angry, I'm not angry." "It's not worth it! It's lost.

He Zhizhong saw that her mother and daughter didn't say anything, and Fang said: "Is Chengfeng still so busy recently?" There was a bit of intimacy in his tone, since he heard that after Liulang left home that day, Jiang Changyang chased after him and talked to Liulang for a long time, and he felt a little closer to Jiang Changyang in his heart. It's rare that this child is not proud, considerate, and truly treats them as relatives.

Peony nodded: "I'm still very busy, otherwise, I wouldn't have kept Yingniang and Rongniang." He couldn't come today, so I asked me to apologize to the second brother and sister-in-law, and the second brother and sister-in-law both said that they didn't complain about him. ”

He Zhizhong sighed: "We can't help him, we can only let him pay more attention to his body." Speaking of which, I met Liu Chang yesterday. He was a little more respectful to me than he used to be. He chuckled, "Is this man really going to change?" But no matter how much it changes, it doesn't become a trend. ”

Mrs. Cen glanced at him reproachfully: "Confused, what do you do with that kind of person?" Still compare Chengfeng with him? Can it be compared? ”

"It's confused." He Zhizhong wiped his forehead, he also knew that he shouldn't always compare the two, but he always unconsciously compared.

Suddenly, I heard Xue laughing outside: "The auspicious time is coming, Erlang and the second brother and sister have already gone first, let's go quickly." So everyone rode in the chariot and the horse on horseback, carrying the things needed for the move one by one, and went to Erlang's new home. When I arrived at the door, I saw that many relatives and friends were waiting outside. Li Manniang greeted everyone warmly and arranged how the young people and children should behave according to the rules.

Mrs. Cen was in a very good mood when she saw her, and said with a smile: "Your cousin of the Li family has always had such a warm temper, I said that there are so many people, she and I just need to wait and play, but she doesn't listen, and runs in and out of the ground." Well, how many days will we old bones be busy? So he got off the bus and went to stand with Li Manniang and a few other relatives and friends he knew well, talking and laughing.

Peony stepped forward to say hello, and then stepped aside to watch the excitement. She couldn't help but think of the scene when Li Manniang moved. At that time, she didn't think about her current life at all, and she didn't expect that she would have such a one in her stomach the next year. She stroked her lower abdomen and a sweet smile appeared on her face. Suddenly, someone laughed on the side: "Danniang." ”

But it's Wu Jiuniang. She was wearing a jacket with a light purple skirt, her hair was curled high, her makeup was exquisite, her demeanor was natural, and although her lower abdomen was slightly convex, she looked very pleasing to the eye.

"You're here too?" Peony happily took her hand, "You are inconvenient, so you should take care of it at home." ”

Wu Jiuniang held Peony's hand with her backhand and said affectionately: "This is a happy event, why do I have to come." Xingzhi was supposed to come, but he had a temporary errand and couldn't come. She didn't mention Li Yuan and Mrs. Cui, so Peony didn't ask, but smiled: "I see that your face is round again, white and red, don't you eat very well?" ”

Wu Jiuniang smiled and glanced at Peony's lower abdomen, which couldn't see anything, and whispered to her ear: "I've heard everything...... You're still kidding me. Aren't you afraid I'll make fun of you too? Thinking of hearing Li Manniang say that Peony was pregnant that day, her in-laws were very surprised, and she wanted to say anything but it was difficult to say it in front of her, but Li Xun was immersed in eating, and without saying a word, her mood was slightly complicated. However, she herself is also a mother herself, and when she saw that Peony had also encountered such a good thing, she was still happy for Peony in her heart.

Peony pursed her lips and smiled: "Doesn't I care about my cousin?" Why are you making fun of me? ”

"I'm not joking with you, I congratulate you." Wu Jiuniang looked around the peony and asked as if unintentionally, "Why don't you see Chengfeng?" ”

"He's in trouble." Peony didn't talk much, so he pulled Wu Jiuniang to watch the excitement: "Look, the auspicious time has come, and the water candle has entered the house." ”

Wu Jiuniang said softly: "Do you remember that your aunt moved last year?" At that time, we were invited to be guests, and that's when I met you. ”

"Of course I do." Peony smiled slightly and said with a smile: "I am also recalling the situation at that time, if I knew that you would be my cousin-in-law, I should have treated you better." ”

Wu Jiuniang sighed softly, and stopped talking.

Peony saw that she seemed to be full of worries, and she was also worried that it would be related to herself, so she didn't dare to ask, so she just stood there with her and watched the excitement, not daring to say much.

Not long after, the moving ceremony was completed, Erlang and his wife put on the table to entertain everyone, Mrs. Cen and a few old people beckoned to Peony, signaling her to sit over there, Peony just moved her steps, Wu Jiuniang grabbed her: "Danniang, let's talk, okay?" I have something to say to you. ”

Seeing that her eyebrows were frowning slightly, Peony looked very worried, and didn't dare to be careless, so she hurriedly waved her hand at Mrs. Cen, indicating that she was not going over, and said with a smile: "Cousin, please speak." ”

Wu Jiuniang bit her lip lightly, "I have something to ask you." But before I say that, I want to state that this has nothing to do with your cousin, who doesn't know anything. ”

Peony sighed, "You say." ”
