In the courtyard, Mingyang embarrassedly wiped the blue cloth jacket on his body, his face was as red as a peach blossom on the mountain, he shrank a little, and said with a smile: "Sister, how can you look so good-looking, why do you look at me directly?" ”

Mingyue kissed the little girl with a "snap", and said with a smile: "Look at my little beauty, comb a beautiful double bun, put on new clothes, the more you look at it, the more it looks like a little doll carved in pink and jade, during the New Year, the eldest sister will buy you red and pink silk and make it into a small Tang costume, and you will be jubilant." ”

Mingyang's face was even redder, and his little hand wiped the residual saliva of Mingyue on his cheek, obviously not suitable for Mingyue's "enthusiasm" that was so "overwhelming".

The star and Liu came out later, walking with the same hands and feet, staring at the ground for fear of tripping, but if you look closely, they are half twisted and half shy.

Stars, Mingyue and Mingyang are the same, they are all double buns, Mingyue guessed that the girl's hair bun in Liu's heart is afraid that it will only comb this kind, and the round two lumps stand on the head. The woman's hair bun is only her own, a round lump on the top of her head, and a piece of blue cloth is wrapped in front of her, with an indescribable sense of simplicity and heaviness.

It's just a unified "dress" and a unified bun, and Mingyue has a sense of immediacy when she sees the maids and mothers-in-law of big families waiting for the master's lecture together. Mingyue didn't dare to say it when she was killed, otherwise she would have swept away Liu's good interest.

Liu's good mood can be seen from the ebony hairpin on his head, which is so ordinary that it can no longer be ordinary, and it is clumsily carved with a pattern that looks like a chrysanthemum but not a chrysanthemum.

This is a temporary gift to Yin You when he joined the army and left, at that time Liu was pregnant with Mingyang, Yin You left, the autumn coincided with a famine year, the family lacked clothes and wore less, Zhai forced Liu to take out the already pitiful dowry to supplement the whole family, and the jewelry was only left with this ebony hairpin carved by Yin You.

The Song family thought that the Yin family had given birth to two sons on the grounds that the dowry was not taken out, and the Leng family's temperament was ruthless, and the silver face of the mother's marriage was more important than life.

As the saying goes, ghosts are afraid of the wicked. The Leng family, who has always been timid and obedient, launched a ruthless attack, and even the Zhai family had to surrender, and in the end, a large family relied on the dowry of the Liu family to survive the famine year.

Liu's mother's family knew about it, and made a big fuss about the old house for this matter, but the Liu family not only did not stand on the side of the Liu family, but chose to stand on the side of the Zhai family, and was willing to dedicate the dowry, which made the two eldest brothers of the Liu family lose face and break their hearts, so they did not communicate again in the next few years, and even the Yin family's separation and Yin You's death are unknown.

Liu's dedication to the dowry is filial piety, but there is no return to Zhai's pity, the gratitude of the other two rooms, after giving birth to Mingyang, Zhai refused to wait for the confinement, sister-in-law Song was not happy with Liu's because of the dowry, and naturally did not want to take care of it.

The second sister-in-law Leng had not given birth to a son Yin Mingyuan that year, only her daughter Yin Mingxia, her stomach had not moved for many years, and Liu, who only gave birth to a daughter but did not give birth to a son, was a hen that "did not lay eggs" in Zhai's eyes, and the two of them did the most work, and Liu's confinement, even Liu's work fell on Leng's, and Leng's had no time to take care of Liu.

It is said that the children of the poor are in charge of the house early, but Yin Mingyue is an exception, when she was eight years old, she did not stick to the spring water, did not burn the kang, did not draw water, did not wash diapers, and did not clean up the house, so Liu often slept on the cold kang, wore dirty clothes, and used diapers repeatedly.

With anger, even the red eggs sent by the people in the village for confinement were put away, except for one before giving birth to a child, Liu never ate eggs again, and all the eggs went into the stomach of the eldest grandson Yin Ming Dynasty and Yin Ming Khan.

The six-year-old star at the time started to do housework from Zhai's scolding, Mingyang was ignorant, crying in the middle of the night, the star helped coax, and got up early the next day to help Leng's fire burn, squatting next to the stove and falling asleep, Mars scurried to his leg, leaving a scar so far, Liu only sat on the ground for seven days to do work, and fell into the problem of leg pain on a cloudy day.

After the mother happily dressed, she went to the old mansion, and in front of the old mansion was parking a single tall carriage with a brown curtain, two meters wide and four meters long, and the coachman stood on Xuanyuan and handed down various objects.

There are pieces of silk, a whole bag of tea, an altar of rice wine, and a kang screen, seeing the arrival of the third room, the coachman deliberately took out a burden, and handed it to Mingyue with a kind face: "Miss Mingyue, this is the silk clothes that the young lady specially ordered for you, so that you can wear them on purpose." ”

Mingyue opened the burden suspiciously, and a set of pink clothes appeared, the upper body of the gown was inlaid with white rabbit fur edges, white petal buckles, the lower body was a pleated skirt, and the corners of the skirt were embroidered with white lotus.

Mingyue raised her eyes and wanted to ask, the coachman had already taken other items under the car, and Mingyue also received dresses, as well as Yin Mingyun in the big room and Yin Mingxia in the second room, isn't this a gift for the older girls in each room?

Mingxia and Mingyun diligently changed their clothes, Mingxia is a set of light blue, weighing Mingxia's yellow and thin face, but it looks more dry and gloomy, Mingyun is ruddy because of his face, wearing a rose-red dress, and a silver tassel hairpin on his head, which looks a lot pretty.

Zhai Shi looked at Mingyun with satisfaction, saw Mingyue's face yellowed from smearing cucumber pulp, rolled his eyes dissatisfied, habitually stroked the oily bun, and said indifferently: "If you don't change it up, the province will be embarrassed in the county." ”

Mingyue shook her head, put the burden in her hand, and replied with a smile: "Milk, you don't need to change it, what I have on me is my mother's newly made winter jacket, which is very clean." ”

Zhai looked at Mingyue in surprise, Mingyue in the past couldn't wait to live in Zhou's house every day, dressed well, and ate well, this head crashed, not only did she not die, why did she change sex?

In this way, it is in line with her heart, which is no wonder to her, if the eldest daughter is to blame, it is not her fault. The old lady looked at the third room with a blue cloth jacket of first-class water on Mingyue's side, pursed her lips and said to Mingyue: "The car can't sit down, you just go alone." ”

Mingyue frowned, looking at the unfriendly light in Zhai's eyes, she was even more suspicious in her heart, and she didn't think about it, so she replied directly: "Milk, my mother is the elder of my family, and of course my mother represents the third room, and I am a girl, how can I represent the third room?" Did the eldest mother's family and the second mother's family only send Mingyun and Mingxia to go? ”

Zhai's already unhappy face fell, as cloudy as the rain in August, "Except for your father's housekeeper, the sons and daughters of the Yin family will go, Mingyuan is still young, and your second mother has to hold him, so go too." ”

"What about my aunt?" Mingyue pointed to the newly dressed Song Clan.

Zhai Shi did not say whether it was committal, to put it mildly, it was just the Liu family and the star and Mingyang who were three rooms away.

Mingyue shook the burden in her hand to her shoulders, and said without pity: "Milk, if you send my mother a few 'outsiders', then I won't go, make room for my aunt to go." ”

Zhai hurriedly pulled Mingyue's burden, threw it to Song's side, and said angrily: "You take it back, don't go." Let Mingyue go. ”

Song's face was flushed with anger, originally she wanted to rely on the spirit of her two-skinned face, and she was going to follow her to the county to see the excitement, but now, she was ruined by Mingyue's words, and she was about to refute, when she saw Zhai squeezing her eyebrows at her, and her slender eyes glanced at the burden.

Song's heart moved, and he hugged the burden that he was going to throw back tightly in his arms, afraid that when Mingyue came back from the county, he would never go back.

Liu secretly scolded Mingyue and motioned her to go to the county to take a look, the original Mingyue dreamed of going to Zhou's house to live for a few days.

Mingyue pulled the burden back from Song's hands, Song's was caught off guard, and was pulled to a stumbling point, Mingyue pulled the corners of her mouth, and said without yin or yang: "Don't dare to bother the eldest aunt to help me keep it, such beautiful clothes, I will take them to the Zhou family and change them on." ”

Everyone got into the car one after another, Mingyue disdained to squeeze, and when it was her turn to get into the car, she found that the car had already squeezed Zhai's mouthful, Dafang Yinjin, two sons, and a daughter of four, and Yin Yin in the second room, Leng's holding a child, a daughter of four, a full nine people, plus the coachman who drove the car, ten people, Mingyue was very curious about how they got in, was it a stack of Arhats or Tetris?

A few people sat in the car and did not move, the coachman cherished the horses the most, the legs of the black horse had begun to tremble, and his face also turned a faint green, looking coldly at Yin Cai who wanted to let Mingyue get on the car.

Mingyue didn't want to go to this Hongmen banquet in her heart, so she simply hugged her shoulders and stopped getting into the car, and shouted to the Zhai family who was crowded in the center of the car: "Milk, you are an elder, go to the third room on behalf of us, there is no gift to give, my mother grinded the wheat to five catties of white flour, you can help take it and let my brother-in-law taste it." I'm not going. ”

"No!!" In a word, Mingyue's decision was once again negated.

Mingyue snorted lightly, and even more determined in her heart that there was no good banquet, and replied: "Milk, my feet are most afraid of breaking, I can't walk, or ......"

"Get out of the car!" Zhai's voice already implied a thick anger, if the anger could shoot arrows, Yin Mingyue would have been stabbed into a hedgehog.

Everyone in the car came down one after another, leaving only Zhai and Leng who were holding Mingyuan, Zhai's eyes swept around in front of everyone's eyes, and when they swept to Yin Mingchao and Yin Ming Khan, they obviously had some feelings of pity.

In the end, Fang made up his mind and said: "The three girls get in the car, and you guys can walk." ”

Mingyue, who had to be ordered, got into the car at this time, and if she didn't sit in the car, it was simply not her character, she didn't pit bad people, and it wasn't her character.

The carriage looked beautiful, but because the road was uneven, it was very bumpy, Mingyue was knocked into a daze, helplessly used chat to divert attention, Yin Mingxia, who had been cautious and cautious on her side, for fear of damaging her clothes, said in a low voice: "Sister Mingxia, cousin Zhengren's -----" Mingyue pointed to her temples, looked at Zhai's family sneaky, and saw Zhai's fake sleep, Leng's coaxing the child, Mingyun's ignorance looked, and then said: "Is there something wrong with Cousin Zhengren's head?" ”

This Hongmen banquet will not become a feast of the sea and sky, and choose a daughter-in-law for the stupid son of the rich man's family, right?
