Early in the morning of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, it was a sunny day, but the snow was beginning to melt, the temperature was still very cold, Wang Ronghe walked to the grandmother's courtyard to ask for peace after cleaning up, there was Miss Jiao, but between the two courtyards, she had to take a soft sedan chair carried by a stout woman, Wang Ronghe was too soft to be dizzy, and she only walked by herself in her own house, anyway, she had never wrapped her feet.

The old lady was getting ready, Wang Ronghe went in with a hot body, combed the old lady's hair, the old lady touched her hand for the first time, and only let go when she knew that the palm was hot, "This is the time again?" Have you ever wet your shoes? ”

"No, I didn't. The people who cleaned the snow were very attentive, and there were no water stains along the way. Wang Ronghe said.

The old lady looked back and saw that she was dressed up, with a goose-yellow silk face and a white fox-edged skirt, and a homely hanging hair on her head, with beaded hairpins. It's good-looking, it's a little cleaner, "The beads on your head are too small, Madder, go to my warehouse and get that set of Dongzhu head noodles." ”

"Grandmother." Wang Ronghe smiled and shook his hand, "Is Dongzhu such a good thing only for Rongyou?" "Stepmother is not a generous person.

"Keep it, add makeup to my Bao'er when she gets married, she doesn't know if she keeps it." The old lady clapped her hands, "I still have a set of rice beads in my warehouse, the price of rice beads is not high, it is better than complicated and exquisite, take it out and give it to the eldest girl to try." "Wang Wei suppressed the pirates in the early years, and the booty was very rich, all in the old lady's treasury.

Wang Ronghe was dressed up by the old lady, and when she was happy, Wang Ronghe shook her neck slightly, feeling that she was heavier than two pounds.

When the ancestors and grandchildren smiled at Yan Yan, the head of the family, Wang Wei, the Cui family and the rest of the children came over together. Wang Wei served his mother to filial piety, and he was in Beijing, and every day the family had breakfast in his grandmother's house. The eldest son and the second son are married, and the family is now flourishing. Xu is a military general, he doesn't care much about Cheng Zhu Lixue, men and women get along with each other and abide by their duties, and they don't have to be separated, and their daughters can't see their fathers and brothers when they are adults.

Cui has a lot of complaints about this.

Wang Wei is a native of Yuyao, after his father's death, he inherited his father's brocade clothes and hundreds of households, Wang Wei himself is very shrewd and capable, there are bandits in Jiangsu and Zhejiang from time to time, Wang Wei has repeatedly made miraculous achievements, promoted to a thousand households, and transferred to Beijing to obey orders. After more than ten years of operation, now it can also buy a courtyard in the imperial city, and the family can also live a rich life.

Wang Wei's wife is Zhang, who is also a childhood sweetheart of Jinyiwei, a young couple, and they are very affectionate. Zhang had three sons for him, but died three days after giving birth to his daughter, Wang Wei was grief-stricken, for the sake of the young son in the family, or married a bride a month later, the bride Cui is a down-and-out daughter, a little stinky and exquisite, but for the sake of her giving birth to two daughters for him, although she was not very affectionate to the previous children, but she was not harsh, Wang Wei still gave her enough face.

Wang Wei is more than 40 years old this year, and because he has practiced martial arts all year round, he has maintained a good figure. Cui, who walked side by side with him, was wearing a purple pipa placket and a black horse-faced skirt underneath, her facial features could vaguely see the brightness of her youth, but the folds between her eyebrows and tails told her seriousness.

Wang Wei was followed by three sons, all of whom were no less tall than him, and they seemed to be followed by a wall, and then the daughter-in-law and grandson behind him were tightly covered.

Behind Cui's family are naturally Wang Zhixi and Wang Fusheng, who are wearing red brocade and hundreds of butterflies and wearing new flowers. Wang Zhixi has a graceful figure, a jade belt wrapped around her waist, and her bloated winter clothes can also show her grace, crow sideburns, melon seed face, long eyebrows and phoenix eyes, small and upturned nose, lips are not dotted and vermilion, and her eyes are full of spring water before she speaks.

Wang Fusheng's facial features are somewhat similar to Wang Zhixi, but the whole thing is two or three points different.

After seeing each other, Wang Fushang said strangely, "Why doesn't the eldest sister wear new red clothes today, I wear the same as the second sister, and the eldest sister is wearing a different dress, how strange." ”

"I wear whatever clothes the girl takes, but it's my mistake to look at it this way." Wang Ronghe said with a smile, "When I go back, I will change it, how festive it is for several sisters to stand together in the same dress, so that grandmother, father and mother are also happy to watch." ”

"Let's eat." The old lady said. She beckoned her only great-grandson to come forward and sit next to her.

All the people sit around a big table, divided into men and women sit side, there are four big men in the family, the cake on the table is high, there are all kinds of side dishes, porridge soup for women, the extra is that no one has a bowl of wine-stuffed rice balls is for the season, and there are three rice balls lying in the white porcelain cup.

Wang Yaliang raised his head and ate the rice balls as if he was drinking medicine. The old lady said to Wang Wei, "The third child doesn't look like a daughter-in-law, have you seen his relatives?" ”

"The bastard boy is now in Jin Wuwei, so he has to climb to the position of the general to go out and say goodbye." Wang Wei said that he said to Wang Yaliang, "You also serve dim sum yourself, it is useless for me to make efforts in the back, you have to be solid yourself." ”

"The second child only got married last year, or the third child will be postponed for another year." Cui said, "This successive marriage is a bit difficult. The first few children were not her own, and she said that her daughter-in-law couldn't make her turn to marry, so she was busy in vain.

"The children are close to each other, and they should have had such an awareness a long time ago. The money for marriage is also prepared early in the morning. The old lady was puzzled and said, "Now that the girls have grown up and the daughters-in-law have also arrived, there are so many people to help you, and you still say that it is difficult." ”

The old lady said, "Zhang's was pregnant, because his father's health was not good, he was afraid of delaying the marriage of his younger brothers and sisters, and married his younger brother and daughter-in-law one after another within a year. Thanks to her, I was able to concentrate on taking care of his father, and I lived a few more months to see my eldest grandson go. ”

Cui's silver teeth were almost crushed, but he could only smile, "Then I'll handle it here." "The continuation is like this, and I can't escape the fate of comparing with the original match. But no matter how long it takes, Cui can't adapt to it.

"What's the hurry, now the bride doesn't know whose house she is." The old lady said.

After eating, they dispersed, the men had to go out, and the women had a lot of things to do at home. When Wang Rong and the old lady were twelve years old, they asked Cui's to take her housekeeper, and the girls were close in age, so Cui's took them with them, of course, it was not ruled out that the eldest daughter-in-law also entered the door at that time, and Cui's didn't want to divide power. The so-called learning to be a housekeeper is just to sit on both sides of Cui's and watch her take care of family affairs.

Wang Zhixi's housekeeper learned very well, Wang Ronghe is much lazy, and he has not followed Cui's in the past year or two, and the eldest daughter-in-law Zeng saw that Wang Ronghe didn't want to take care of the house today, so she nudged her son to Wang Ronghe's side, "Go to my aunt's to learn to write, and my mother will pick you up when I'm done." ”

Wang Yuqing obediently walked to Wang Ronghe's side, "Just write a few block letters for the eldest girl." Zeng said that she had heard her husband say that her sister-in-law had good calligraphy, especially cursive. However, when children are learning to write, horizontal and vertical is the most important.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I'll save it." Wang Ronghe said. took Wang Yuqing's little hand and walked into his courtyard.

The dinner of the Lantern Festival is eaten earlier than usual, and the Wang family also has a garden, there is an artificial lake in the garden, and there is a pavilion on the lake. The Guanlan Pavilion called by the pavilion, the pavilion is equipped with glass windows on all sides to enjoy the scenery, and the table inside is three large long tables put together into a concave shape, on which a dazzling array of delicacies are placed, and they are still sitting on both sides.

The old lady liked to listen to the opera, and even invited a small hall opera to sing on the stage formed naturally in the middle of the table. The old lady doesn't like to chase the role like others, she likes to listen to a person's play, as long as that person is still singing, she only listens to that person's play. Cui Shi didn't complain about this all the time, and it wasn't that he didn't have money, every time he invited the show, he only invited that person, and his relatives and friends laughed at us.

The next time the old lady wants to listen to the play, she still only invites that person to come.

Wang Zhixi wore a pink satin embroidered peony at night, which became more and more pure and beautiful, and endearing. She has never liked red, so she changed her body to pink, she thought that Wang Ronghe may not necessarily change, Wang Ronghe is a person who is very afraid of trouble. Who would have thought that she really changed the red brocade hundred plates at night, Wang Fushang changed it with her sister, so it was still the only Wang Rong who was different from what they were wearing.

Wang Wei saw it and said to Cui's, "What are the second girls and the third girls doing?" Is it specifically targeted? I'm going to go out to see the lights and change my clothes. ”

Cui Shi was unconvinced, "Then why didn't you let her change it when you saw the eldest girl in the morning, so that she could wear the same as her sisters." ”

"Isn't it just for this time that you make the same clothes for the children, and wear the same clothes when you go out." Wang Wei said, "The big girl wears it at home in the morning, and in the evening she knows how to change it back, and she knows the occasion and knows the proportion." The second girl and the third girl were originally dressed well and wanted to change, do they have any opinions? ”

Cui Shi was unwilling, Wang Wei said, "Just eat, and when I go out to see the lights, I will change it back, so as not to make jokes for the neighbors." ”
