Chapter 136: The Joy of Housewarming

Rui Xue was puzzled in her heart, but said with a smile, "This kid looks like a blessed one, and he will definitely have a great future in the future." ”

Lei Zi's daughter-in-law was about to speak, as soon as the door opened, Aunt Yun and Sister-in-law Zhang also came in with a tray, and said with a smile, "My dog is the most blessed, and there is no shortage of good things in the mother's womb. ”

"Second aunt, you're here again, let's not talk about our own family, it's not polite." Rui Xue got up and hugged the child to the end of the kang, moved her nose and smiled, "Second aunt, this noodle soup is really fragrant." ”

Sister-in-law Qian was pregnant, she couldn't bear to be hungry, her throat moved, she tried to endure her saliva, but unfortunately her stomach was exposed, gurgling, and everyone laughed.

Aunt Yun immediately brought a bowl to her and said with a smile, "I'm afraid that you will be greedy, so I deliberately made an extra bowl and ate it with osmanthus." ”

Sister-in-law Qian was so ashamed that she almost lowered her head to the kang, and waved her hand vigorously, but Sister-in-law Zhang stuffed the chopsticks into her hand, "You are at this time when you see what to eat, don't be polite, the second aunt specially prepared, you should accompany the osmanthus to eat." ”

Rui Xue also persuaded, "The child in the womb is starving, eat more, and in two months, I will also give birth to a fat boy." After speaking, he kissed the little milk baby gently, "When the time comes, we will have a little brother to play with." ”

When Sister-in-law Qian heard this, her face became much better, thanked her, sat on the edge of the kang table with Osmanthus, and ate.

Second Aunt Yun and Sister-in-law Zhang looked at Rui Xue holding the swaddling clothes, with a loving face, and glanced at each other, and their hearts moved...

In the hall, Second Uncle Yun was full of red light, praising how much his grandson looked like Leizi, how healthy and white he was, and the corners of his mouth were about to hang in his ears.

Second Uncle Yun got up and solemnly saluted Zhao Fengnian, and said with anticipation in his eyes, "Mr. Gaocai, we can no longer find a more knowledgeable person than Mr. in Yunjia Village, the old man has a reluctant request, can you please Mr., give my dog a big name?" ”

Wuguo customs, asking people to take a name has a very high sense of respect, it is not to refuse, Zhao Fengnian naturally responded, a slight sigh and said, "The second uncle's family surname is Yun, it is better for this child to take a 'Yong', he was born in the beginning of spring, it is the most beautiful time, in the future, after the age of fifteen, add the word 'Jingchun', how?" ”

"Yun Yong, Yun Jingchun," Second Uncle Yun read it again, and immediately smiled and said yes, and thanked him again and again.

Zhang Dahe also felt that the name was good, and his heart was itching, so he said rarely, "When Da Zhuang arrives at the fifteenth crown ceremony, please also ask Mr. to give words." ”

"Okay," Zhao Fengnian responded, the three of them said a few more words about the village, and when they saw the women coming out of the west wing, they said goodbye and went out, Zhao Fengnian was two steps behind, took two ingots of ten taels of silver from his sleeve and handed them to the second uncle Yun, and said in a low voice, "Leizi Shanzi is at home when he leaves home, this is the salary paid to your second elder in advance, and the second uncle will collect it." ”

Second Uncle Yun only felt a sinking in his hand, looked down at the two big ingots of silver in Baihuahua, and was so shocked that he almost didn't miss and threw it out, he was an old farmer, he had never taken so much silver in his life, and he was about to push it back in a hurry, Zhao Fengnian turned his head and motioned him to see the Zhang family couple, and Second Uncle Yun immediately understood what he meant.

Lei Zi Shanzi went out to run errands, and the salary was extremely high, although the Zhang family and the Gao family all knew that it was not that the main family did not trust, but that they could not leave the family, and there was no estrangement in their hearts, but listening to one hundred or three words, and seeing the silver bills with white flowers with their own eyes, it was absolutely different.

The old man stuffed the silver into his arms, trembled excitedly, sent everyone out for a long time, and stood by the courtyard gate without moving, Aunt Yun was anxious to go back and take a closer look at the etiquette of several families, but when she saw that the old man was not moving, she complained, "What are you still rubbing, come in." ”

As soon as he walked into the hall, Second Uncle Yun directly took out two large silver ingots, which frightened Second Aunt Yun and exclaimed, "Where did you get so much silver!" ”

"Mr. Zhao just gave it, saying that he was afraid that Lei Zi Shanzi was outside, and there was no daily use at home, so he paid his salary in advance!"

Aunt Yun immediately grabbed the two silver ingots in her hand, and muttered vigorously, "Good man, our family is really lucky, what a good person." ”

Not to mention that the second elder of the Yun family stayed up all night happily for the two ingots of silver, just said that Rui Xue calculated that the day after tomorrow would be June 16, the day of Daji's warm home, and discussed with Zhao Fengnian that night, and listed the list of ingredients and the big red invitation.

The next morning, Zhang Dahe and Qian Heitan were sent into the city to buy, and by the way, they sent invitations to Tianfu, Wu's old store and Lao Wang, and on the other side of the dock, Zhang's sister-in-law took one and gave it to Xu Kuan and Ma Lao Liu when she left in the morning, and also began to take Cuilan Zhang Luo to eat, ready to entertain everyone in the Peishui Gang.

In the courtyard of Zhang's house, when the work started that day, the earthen stove used for cooking was still there, and there was no need to build it now, just prepare tables and chairs.

As soon as the day came, Gao Fuquan and Qian Heitan got up early to send a seven or eight plates of tofu to the custom-made people's house, and they couldn't go out to sell it, Zhang's sister-in-law was not at home, Cui Niang and Aunt Yun took care of all the work, and took seven or eight little daughters-in-law to help, gathered in the Gao family's yard to cut vegetables, cut meat, and steam buns, and were busy.

Before noon, the patriarch and Li were taking the old men or children's fathers who were the heads of the villages to go to the door first, and according to the rules of the village, they sent a string of red rope of knotted grass, which means that the life of the main family is high, as well as a pair of roosters with bright feathers and a pair of hares.

Zhao Fengnian welcomed them in, the clan elder and Li Zheng naturally entered the hall to serve tea, and the rest of the villagers sat at the table and gossiped, waiting for the banquet to begin, everyone looked at the courtyard and rejoiced, proud that they had helped a hand and held their chests straight.

Soon a carriage ran to the front of the courtyard, Cheng Lao shopkeeper came to the door with his two sons to congratulate, Zhao Fengnian heard the word, and went to the door, welcomed them in, Cheng Dongsheng took two steps behind, and wanted to send the gift list in his hand, but unfortunately no one took it.

Farmers congratulate on moving to a new house, usually carrying a string of mushrooms, sending a hen, where to know the rules of the big family, but also to sing the ceremony, fortunately Ruixue came back from Zhang's house, happened to see, so he thanked and took it, handed it to Wu Yu, Wu Yu stood under the lintel, shouted loudly, "Wu family's old store Cheng shopkeeper congratulated Zhao Mansion on the joy of housewarming, specially presented, six altars of osmanthus wine, six altars of bamboo leaf green, two jars of purple jade wine, two jars of lotus wine, two horses of cloud brocade, two horses of rain flower brocade, six pieces of cotton cloth of various colors, twelve colors of Zhuang Ji dim sum, sixteen carp, sixteen chickens..."

Every time Wu Yu thought the same, there was a little guy in Tsing Yi, who was taken off the carriage, carried it to the yard with both hands, put the food on the board, and waited to be sent to the Zhang's yard together, and the wine and cloth snacks were opened and sent to the backyard warehouse.

The villagers have never seen this pompous posture, their eyes are full of envy, and they keep talking in a low voice.

Rui Xue took half a dustpan of copper coins and handed it to Da Zhuang, and each of the little guys was rewarded with a handful of happy money, and they all smiled.

As soon as he finished singing the gift list, two more carriages came from the corner of the street, and the steward who jumped off, Da Zhuang recognized it at a glance, it was the steward of the Tian family who sent Chi Yanguo to the inn that morning, he ran in to report the news, Zhao Fengnian took it out, but the steward saluted, apologized and said that Mr. Tian was unwell, and sent a congratulatory gift first, and prepared another table to make amends another day, Zhao Fengnian and Rui Xue glanced at each other, and they both knew that it must be because of the letter, Mr. Tian had no face to see each other, so he didn't say anything more, and invited the steward to enter the door.

Wu Yu took the gift list and continued to sing and drink, this time it was enough to move the tea before the gift was moved, Master Tian didn't know whether he had always been generous, or in order to thank Zhao Fengnian for saving Miss Tian's innocent reputation that day, the congratulatory gifts were very rich, and unlike Cheng Lao's shopkeeper, who mainly ate and was practical, he sent more silk and satin, gold and jade ornaments, the four treasures of the study, calligraphy and painting, and even screens inlaid with shells and other things from the south, which stunned the neighbors, and sighed that the friends made by the Zhao family were really rich, Those congratulatory gifts, just give them one casually, enough for a family to eat for a year.

Xu Kuan and Ma Lao Liu, the two of them had just finished their work at the dock and rushed over, it was halfway through the salute, they originally thought that they would just change into clean clothes, but they didn't know that the warm wine banquet was so big, and the first few cars of thanks, but also made the five taels of congratulatory silver they prepared look extremely shabby, and the two of them were a little restrained, standing outside the door hesitating.

Wu Yu saw it and called his sister out.

Rui Xue smiled and took them in, accepted the congratulatory money, and invited them into the hall to sit, but the two insisted on sitting in the courtyard with all the villagers.

Rui Xue was helpless, so she said, "Today's visitors are mostly friends of my husband, and only the two eldest brothers are my mother's family, how can I not go into the house to sit and support my sister?" ”

The two of them no longer shirked, and entered the house with a grateful face, Zhao Fengnian had heard Rui Xue say that they helped each other that day, and they had no chance to thank each other, and they were naturally very happy to see each other today, and the elders of the clan were also familiar with each other, and soon said that they were in one place, and they became lively.

Lao Wang finally came from the city, and also sent a rich thank you gift, he made two months of paperwork, a lot of oil and water, Rui Xue was not polite, all accepted.

In the courtyard of Zhang's house, a group of women were busy and orderly, Rui Xue personally cooked, renovated the braised fish and a few meat dishes, in the middle of the afternoon, opened the banquet on time, chicken, fish, meat and eggs, everything, plus the white fat meat buns, many guests were satisfied, that is, the steward of Natian Mansion, and also praised it again and again. Coupled with the good wine sent by Cheng Lao's shopkeeper, not to mention how lively the wine table was.

At the wharf, because the Peishui Gang often talked about how delicious the pig's head meat was on February 2nd, Ruixue prepared five pig's heads, split them in half, which was enough to occupy two large pots, and Zhang's sister-in-law took charge of the ingredients, boiled for a morning, and opened ten tables, half of the pig's head on each table, a large pot of stewed tofu and cabbage in broth, and a large dustpan of meat buns.

Peishui helped everyone sit around, so fragrant that they almost swallowed their tongues, and shouted again and again, when will the three masters build a new yard, and the sister-in-law Zhang and Cuilan are so happy that they can't keep their mouths together, and a few diners in the south house also borrowed light, and each table got a piece of pig's head meat, and the diners were amazed, the pig's head can be made so delicious, and they also gave rewards generously when they left.
