The next day, the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the sky was clear.

When the first birdsong came from outside the lattice window, Xu Jiao got dressed and got up.

Zhao Yin turned over and tugged at the hem of her pink jacket: "Why is it so early?" ”

Xu Jiao was in a good mood: "Paste the Spring Festival couplets, I'm going to see my father write couplets, my father's words are very beautiful." As he spoke, he put on his coat and turned the screen to open the door and ask Dong'er to comb his hair.

Zhao Yin sat up, rubbed the corners of his forehead, put on his clothes and turned the screen in three or two, and hugged her up: "What is it called?" I'll comb it for you. ”

Xu Jiao exclaimed in surprise, and was carried back to the inner room by him and placed on the makeup stool.

Zhao Yin picked up the jade bone comb in the box, patiently combed through every strand of hair for her, and divided her hair into two layers.

Xu Jiao watched his big bony hands busy on his head from the mirror, and couldn't help asking, "I'm very curious, why are you so good at combing girls' hair?" ”

Zhao Yin's face was slightly unhappy: "You little conscienceless!" I haven't honed this craft on your head yet! Have you forgotten how I served you during the pandemic? ”

Xu Jiao remembered this time, and smiled at him with her head tilted and flattering: "Hehe...... I see~"

Zhao Yin put his big hand around her and turned her head back: "Sit well, don't move!" ”

Xu Jiao sat down motionlessly.

Dong'er came in with hot water, and when she saw that the two were combing their hair, she put down the copper basin and quietly retreated.

Zhao Yin used her fingers to divide the upper part of her hair into a number one by one, and then patiently wrapped each strand of hair around her forehead, and then braided it together against the scalp, and finally gathered a number of small strands into two braids, and then coiled the two braids on the top of her head, one on each side, to make a round double bun.

Zhao Yin used a pink hairband to wrap the two buns on her head, and finally let the hairband hang down at the back of her head, mixed with the silky hair.

Xu Jiao looked at her already slightly immature face in the mirror, and with this hairstyle, she felt several years younger!

Zhao Yin's big hand smoothed her hair from top to bottom, and finally patted her shoulder: "Okay, do you like it?" ”

Xu Jiao pouted: "Can I tell the truth?" ”

Zhao Yin pursed his lips: "You better stop talking, I look good, so be it, it looks festive." ”

Xu Jiao shook her little head, raised her head and said, "There is a benefit, no matter how much I toss, it shouldn't be scattered~"

Zhao Yin smiled dotingly: "Well, just toss, you can go up the tree to catch birds and go down to the river to fish." ”

Xu Jiao shook her hair: "Leave these things there and let Xiaodouding do it, I'm going to paste the Spring Festival couplets now!" As he spoke, he lifted the hem of his skirt and was about to run.

Zhao Yin hurriedly dragged her back: "What's the hurry?" I haven't even washed my face. ”

Xu Jiao pouted: "It's dawn, Daddy must have started writing, what if I miss it?" ”

Zhao Yin unhurriedly pulled her to the copper basin: "If you miss it, it's good to let your father write it again, besides, it's cold, and your father doesn't order it, maybe most of them haven't gotten up yet." ”

Xu Jiao patiently washed her face again, then hurriedly went out and walked through the corridor, just in time to see Xu Wenyang setting a table in the patio and grinding ink, and Huang Rong laying paper and making paste on the side.

Seeing her come out, Xu Wenyang nodded: "This hairstyle looks good today, and it looks well-behaved by combing it like this in the future." ”

Huang Rong laughed directly on the side.

Xu Jiao stuck out her tongue: "How old am I, what else do I need to be well-behaved." ”

Xu Wenyang said with a smile: "I found out, with your current temperament, if you don't deceive people from your pretence, no one will know that you are a girl." ”

Xu Jiao pounced, dipped a little ink with her fingertips, and was about to scratch his face: "You actually laughed at me!" ”

Xu Wenyang quickly grabbed her wrist: "Don't make trouble, go to dinner, Daddy is waiting for you." ”

Xu Jiao failed to succeed, so she withdrew her hand and turned to the dining room.

However, just as she was about to lift her feet, she suddenly turned around, stretched out her hand and wiped it quickly on Xu Wenyang's face, and then ran away, smiling proudly as she ran.

Xu Wenyang shook his head, bent down and wiped his sleeve with wet water in the copper basin next to him, and looked up to see Huang Rong smiling on the side, and couldn't help glaring at her: "You're still laughing!" This girl is getting more and more unruly now, but I find that I am more and more like you, whimsical and lawless all day long! ”

Huang Rong spread the red paper in her hand on the table: "Isn't it that a family doesn't enter the door, hasn't my husband heard of it?" ”

Xu Wenyang sharpened the ink, dipped it on the rice paper with a wolf hair, and found that the shade was just right, so he stepped forward with Huang Rong and folded the red paper to become a spare piece.

When Xu Jiao came back again, there was another Zhao Yin behind her.

"Does the prince now regard my Xu Mansion as a back garden? You don't even have to go through the gate to get in and out. Xu Wenyang said with a little displeasure.

Zhao Yin smiled indifferently, stepped forward and took another wolf hair, raised his hand and wrote on the red paper and said: "Sooner or later, we will all be a family, I just exercise my rights in advance." ”

Xu Jiao rolled her eyes in your heart: You are the prince, you are right! If I hadn't told my father that you stayed in my boudoir every night, I guess my father would have tied me to his waist, and it would be up to you to exercise your rights at that time!

Xu Wenyang also took a wolf and wrote on the other side.

Xu Jiao leaned in to take a look, and saw what Xu Wenyang wrote: The courtyard is small and quiet; The building is more than a month high.

Xu Jiao nodded: "Daddy, this is quite meaningful, and it is just right for the tone of our small courtyard." ”

Turned his head to look at Zhao Yin's: warm peach cheeks; The willow eyes are open.

Xu Jiao pouted: "It's so indecent to write a Spring Festival couplet!" ”

Zhao Yin smiled: "Why am I not serious?" It's you who thinks too much about it. However, my couplet is just right on the doorframe of your boudoir. ”

Xu Jiao was very disgusted and said: "Whoever wants you to do this, write me one: the air is like a spring breeze; The heart is like autumn water. ”

Zhao Yin put down his pen: "If you want to write it yourself, I like this one, so I'll hang it up." After speaking, he took the couplet he wrote and picked up the paste that Huang Rong had just adjusted, and went to Xu Jiao's boudoir.

Xu Jiao pouted: "Daddy helped me write, I want to cover his couplet." ”

Xu Wenyang smiled: "The couplet of the prince is actually quite suitable for his daughter's boudoir, just use that one, I didn't expect that you could come up with such a good couplet, what other good couplets do you have, I'll listen to it." ”

Xu Jiao pouted: "Don't help me forget it, I'll draw it myself!" As he spoke, he stepped forward and rolled up his sleeves and "painted" on the desk.

Speaking of which, Xu Jiao is also strange, she can draw well, but this brush is really miserable, so this smart chick used charcoal to trace the frame on the red paper, and finally used the brush to slowly fill in the color, and when she finished picking it up, Xu Wenyang couldn't help but show appreciation: "It's really good!" ”

Xu Jiao said proudly: "That's!" But because she was slowly filling in the color, the ink was so thick that she had to set the couplet aside to dry.

Xu Jiao came to Xu Wenyang's side and watched him write a picture: Sunrise Courtyard; Spring breeze green willow tops.

Xu Jiao nodded again: "This is good, you can post it in the backyard." ”

Xu Wenyang raised his head: "Oh~ Paste the backyard? What is posted in the main courtyard? ”

When Huang Rong heard this, she stepped forward and said: "Write a pair: the hall is splendid; The small courtyard is full of economic growth. ”

Xu Wenyang pondered for a moment and nodded: "Okay, just write it like this." ”

Xu Jiao smiled: "Does the little lady want our family to have a champion in the future?" It seems that I want to take my younger brother up the tree to catch birds and go down to the river to fish. ”

Huang Rong leaned into her ear and whispered: "You all have couplets, I thought about it in my mind for a long time before I remembered this one that I didn't know when it was printed in my head, so I naturally have to use it, otherwise your father should laugh at me, I have no culture." ”

Xu Jiao laughed "poof", leaned into her ear and whispered: "Here, a woman's lack of talent is virtue." ”

"Then your father still let you learn calligraphy since you were a child? You're so stupid, your dad isn't pedantic at all. ”

In the interval between the two of you and I muttering quietly, Xu Wenyang had already written the couplet that Huang Rong said, and picked it up to show the two: "How is it?" ”

Xu Jiao propped her chin and commented: "Yes, yes, this word is written uprightly and with clear water chestnut angles, at first glance, the person who wrote the couplet is a upright, calm and very wise person!" ”

Xu Wenyang's ears were slightly red by what she said: "Who asked you to judge me?" You're getting more and more sleek now, come over and take it and paste it. ”

Xu Jiao grinned: "I can't tell the truth, put it aside, and wait for the tall man to post it." ”

Xu Wenyang looked at her with disgust: "I am getting more and more bold, and I dare to support the prince." ”

Xu Jiao said confidently: "He always eats and drinks at our house, can't he do something?" ”

While the two were talking, Zhao Yin came back and looked at a few couplets on the table: "Have you written so much?" In a blink of an eye, I saw the one "painted" by Xu Jiao, and picked it up with great interest and said, "Is this one written by Mrs. Xu for Jiaojiao?" If you don't know the details, you will definitely think that it was written by a man, so angular and atmospheric. ”

Huang Rong smiled: "It seems that the prince doesn't know enough about our family." ”

Zhao Yin frowned: "Is this king wrong?" Could it be that she wrote it herself? ”

Huang Rong nodded.

Zhao Yin exclaimed: "When did Jiaojiao have such a ability, a few days ago I watched her use her homemade charcoal pen to check the accounts, how can she write such a good hand in just a few days?" ”

Xu Wenyang held the wolf and straightened his waist to rest his breath, and told the truth by the way: "It was painted by Jiaojiao." ”

When Zhao Yin heard this, he looked at Xu Jiao and said with a smile: "I see, Jiaojiao's painting skills are really good!" It just so happens that this couplet fits my room, thank you! ”

After speaking, he picked up the couplet and performed light skills to "fly" out of the small courtyard, and walked towards his own courtyard, leaving Xu Jiao to stomp his feet in place: "You robber!" Give it back! ”

Xu Jiao naturally failed to snatch back her couplet, and sat sullenly at the table to help Huang Rong mix the paste.

Xu Wenyang looked at the dining room and said to himself: "What kind of stove is appropriate?" ”

Xu Jiao said silently: "Cook the seafood, burn the mountain treasures, and the guests of Yaochi go to the fragrant thousands of miles; Drink the elixir, pour the jade liquid, and the immortals of Pengdao are drunk in all directions. ”

After a while, Xu Wenyang asked again: "What is the right thing to post in the study?" ”

Xu Jiao said silently: "The book mountain is high, and the tenacious has its own road to heaven; Learn the sea deeply, and be diligent to find the treasure door. ”
