After December 23, according to the customs of the previous year, until the 24th, the outside of the house was suspended, and the house was dusted. Just one day.

The old lady often said: "Sit on the mountains of gold and silver, enjoy the glory and wealth, but there must be a trace of hard work, stop for half a day, do nothing or not, remember the bittersweet and do not forget how the ancestors worked hard." ”

Therefore, men, women and children in the house all change into agricultural clothes and work with their sleeves to pay tribute.

On that day, Yu Qi shirked the meal, the old lady sent Zhu'er to visit, Jinghua Xie Hua sent away Zhu'er with a lot of scheming, and then Yu Qi lay down on the kang and spoke, and fell asleep on Zisu's knees. In the evening, Zhuang Jue and Su Yuan quietly came to Jinghua Xie to see Yu Qi, who was still asleep at that time, and the two of them were not easy to disturb, so they only left to explain to Zi Su.

Zhuang Jue said: "Please sister, don't worry and be sad, the second brother doesn't blame her." Ask her to rest for a day, and I'll come back to help my sister clean up at the twenty-fourth. ”

After Zisu came back to say these words, he originally hated the people of Beifu, but at this moment, he didn't want to see the rest of the Zhuang Mansion, and only responded with a cold face, no courtesy and no answer, depending on how euphemistic Zhuang was and angry.

Zhuang Jue said again: "If my sister wakes up later, bother my sister and tell her that I have come to see her." ”

Zi Su glanced at Zhuang Jue, and pretended to purse the corners of his mouth, he should have been speaking to Zhuang Jue is polite knowledge, who knows, Zi Su turned his head and face to Su Yuanduan, and said softly and affectionately: "The "Moon Viewing Map" before the moon of Bei Ziye was painted very meaningfully. Although there is no poetry under the moon, the moonlight is still fresh and immersive. The place without poetry is better than full of poetry. ”

Su Yuan was caught off guard, and he was half stunned.

Zi Su originally wanted to be hostile to Zhuang Jue, so he used the moon map before Su Yuan Yue to satirize Zhuang Jue. Yes, Zhuang Ying and Cao Yingguan took the paintings of Sanfu to Jinghua Xie to invite Yu Qi to appreciate them that month, and Ayu also lived here at that time. On that day, the mirror flower Xie Li, burning incense and appreciating the paintings, Huiyuan had not yet married to Dongfu, Zisu and Huiyuan for the sake of three paintings, leading to the past, and fighting with each other. On that day, Zisu was hostile to Huiyuan, and he admired Su Yuan's "Moon Map". At this time, he once again used Su Yuan's painting to satirize Zhuang Jue. It's a beginning and an end.

Thinking about it, Zisu felt that Su Yuan's appearance was just right, not too early or too late, no more or too little, and the time was appropriate; Later, I went back to the divine realm to think, in the dark, the red dust was rolling, everything was disturbing, and there were many people and autumn events, all of which had the will of heaven; And Zisu and Su Yuan's providence may have formed a heart-to-heart alliance in "Moon Gaze".

If it weren't for the hopeless moon in the world, how could you sigh? More on that later.

Zhuang Jue's face was red, and he stood embarrassed, because he came to appreciate the painting because of the moon, and finally won the victory, and the "Lan" picture won. At this moment, Zisu praised Su Yuan so much, and re-mentioned the "moon" map, how embarrassing it could be for him.

Su Yuan nodded slightly to express his gratitude.

Zisu was gentle and courteous to Su Yuan, ignoring Zhuang Yu. After that, Zhuang Ying and Su Yuan, one was satisfied, and the other was lonely, quietly appeared on the scene and went home.

One day, Sanxi wanted to tell her about Zhuang Ying and Su Yuan coming to visit Yu Qi, but Zisu was very unkind, and said coldly to Sanxi: "I have told you all the good things, and there are no bad people in the world?" ”

Zisu's words were so scathing. Sanxi wanted to talk and stopped, and went out to be busy with his own non-consultancy. Yu Qi looked at the two of them on the kang, full of strangeness, and felt that Zisu was mean to Sanxi.

At night, Mei'er in Shouzhongju led the girl to hold a few plates, each plate put a set of old clothes, and there was a hemp red head rope on the top, and there was no other decoration. Mei'er sent it to Yu Li, and only said: "Tomorrow is the dust in the house, and you have to change your old clothes according to the rules, and you have to eat with coarse tea, and the girl should follow the ceremony." All year round, the girls in each house do this, and tomorrow they will work their own labor, and sweep away their own houses for a day. ”

I said it clearly but didn't understand, Yu Qi knew that Mei'er's temper was not very close, so she didn't ask. After receiving the things, the three masters and servants sent Mei'er away, and sat on each other's kang and sat quietly with each other's eyes.

Early morning of the 24th.

Because he was not very relieved, he was afraid that he would be rude in his dress, so he asked Sanxi to quietly invite Zhu'er.

Zhuang Qi asked Zhu'er casually: "What are the taboos?" ”

At that time, Zhu'er was already dressed as a peasant, wearing old clothes and patches, and her hair was not as delicate as in the day, so she only tied her hair into a braid at random, and tied a hemp red head rope at the end of the braid. That's it.

Zhu'er listened to Yu Qi's words and said with a smile: "Why didn't Mei'er's hooves make it clear to the girl!" I'll have to talk to her when I go back! Saying this, he turned around and showed it to Yu Qi and the others, "Girl, look, all the women in the house are like this today." The more you work hard, the old lady and the wives like it when they see it. So hurry up, girl! At this time, the girls in other houses have already dressed. After a while, I came to say goodbye, and the old lady saw it and put it back, and went to work. Girl, you haven't lived in this place for a long time, I see that you have to be busy, so hurry up! And they got it. ”

After saying that, Zhu'er went. The three masters and servants dressed up like bamboo, and changed into peasants.

After dressing up, Yu Qi said to Zisu: "I see that today's mansion is quite grand, sister, you still go with me." Zuo didn't show a look and came back. ”

After Yu Qi rested overnight, he finished his resentment on the previous day, and still wanted to save his situation and interpersonal relationships. It just so happens that Zisu is indifferent to everyone, and everyone is also a little biased towards Zisu. Since there is this opportunity, Yu Qi refuses to miss it, why not let Zisu also show it, show himself, and also show that Zisu is interested in Zhuangfu.

Zisu refused.

Yu Qi said: "Sister, I was too angry last night. But what's the use of being angry, isn't this sending people under the fence? We play according to other people's rules. Let's have fun! Whoever plays to the end is the winner, and the process doesn't matter. ”

When Zisu heard Lu Qi's words, he also felt that it made sense, and inexplicably felt that Lu Qi had changed people, and his heart could be so decisive, and people seemed to be more ruthless.

Zisu thought to herself: The more she can do this, the more relieved I will be.

Therefore, Zisu doesn't want to show up again, and she has to support Yu Qi's verbal performance. After all, sisterhood and solidarity are all about injustice.

After that, the three of them went to Shouzhong to say goodbye.

Welcoming him from outside the door, he saw strange peasant women and girls inside and outside the hall at a glance, chattering non-stop. If you get along very much and know everyone's faces, you will think that you are in the wrong place and have a market in the southern market town.

As usual, Yu Qi went in to salute the old lady and the ladies.

Sanxi and Zisu followed.

Everyone laughed when they saw the three masters and servants like this.

The old lady wore a black tattered forehead, silver hair, a ragged cotton robe, and a rotten wooden stick in her hand. Sitting in the hall, looking from a distance, this is clearly an old peasant lady from the ravine.

The old lady was annoyed when she saw everyone laughing at Yu Qi: "You laugh at others, others don't laugh at you, that's people who know etiquette, if those who don't know the number of etiquette and know it in their hearts, people don't say anything on the surface, and they will laugh you into ashes in their hearts." It's rare that you're so happy to show people! He said to Yu Qi again: "The girl will take care of them, and there is no need to see them today." They all work equally. You don't have to be as rigid as you used to be. I just want to see you, but I don't have to. Every year you get used to it, but if you don't come, your heart is not at ease. After reading it, it's a group of ravines who don't know the height of the sky, the height of the earth, and the distance of the mountains and the sea, you all go! Wipe your windows, your tables, and your corners! Looking back, I went to the provinces to take a look, optimistic, I stayed to eat a peasant meal, if it is not good, I will reward you with a few pieces of meat for the New Year, on the Chinese New Year's Eve table, there is no need to come if there is meat to eat. ”

Everyone said "yes" again and again! Each has its own order to exit.

Yu Qi followed behind, looked at Zisu, and secretly smiled.

When he returned to Jinghua Xie, Zisu sneered coldly: "They are all a group of hypocritical people!" To say that all beings are equal is to pretend to be high and indifferent, and to raise one's own identity! ”

Even so, he also "swept the dust" with Yu Qi according to the rules of the house.

The mirror flower Xie Ben is not big, it is a single courtyard close to Shouzhongju. The so-called is a courtyard within a hospital. There are several rooms in the courtyard, the outer hall and the inner hall, the left entrance in the hall is the kang hall, and there is a bedroom in the kang hall, and Yu Qi lives daily; The inner hall enters the right side, which is the bedroom of Sanxi, and it is also a partition, and it is Zisu who lives in it. The outer hall is facing the courtyard, and the layout of the house is general, there are railings under the corridor on all sides, the right is the wing room that enters the secret passage, and the left is also a wing room, which Ayu lived in earlier. And then there is a kitchen, because I go to Shouzhongju to eat every day, this kitchen is idle, if it is not for the injuries and illnesses of Yu Qi need to boil medicine, otherwise this kitchen will be abandoned. Now it is the "medicine kitchen" that is legitimate.

Jinghua Xie swept the dust, Zisu said: "The house is not big, and it is nothing to clean." We are very clean people on weekdays. The girl is careful, just tidy up as you like. Sanxi, you are responsible for cleaning outside. Didn't they say they could cook? I'll do the cooking. ”

Yes, Zi Sutong cooking. At this time, it is the right time to use.

Yu Qi was surprised: "Sister, why are you so sure that the old lady is coming?" ”

Zisu said: "Girl, you are different from others. The old lady will come to you if she doesn't go to anyone else, and many will come. I just asked you to see it, how many eyes want to see you make a fool of yourself here! And so on jokes! Not only does it say that it is equal work, but it also mentions eating farm food, but it should not be the sentence 'each sweeps the snow in front of the door', and each family has its own work. The old lady is the Buddha today, look at this and look at that, it is beautiful and comfortable, and the delicious one is left to take a bite. If you are happy, eat a few more bites, and if you are not happy, you will enjoy some meat as she said. ”

As they spoke, several people looked at each other and smiled.

In fact, as Zisu said, the mirror flowers are not much, and the work is to sort out the books and flowers, the windows and doors, because they are usually cleaned every day, and now it doesn't take much effort. And so more things happened in the kitchen.

After finishing the furnishings in the house, Yu Qi looked for time to say to Sanxi, who was weeding and clearing snow in the yard: "You are done and go to see Sister Su, she is more troublesome than us." ”

Sanxi smiled: "Miss Su is the least powerful there." Girl, look at this pile of snow, I still have to move! ”

Sure enough, the snow in the courtyard looks flat and flat on weekdays, very good-looking, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Sanxi said: "Our yard is less servant, and we can't do this kind of heavy work quickly." But don't be afraid, Sanxi can do it! Sanxi is a cow and a horse, no worse than the little guy in the house. ”

Yu Qi appreciated and smiled at Sanxi and expressed his gratitude. After that, Yu Qian staggered and walked towards the kitchen behind.

When I went to the kitchen eaves, I saw Zisu coming in with a bucket of water from outside.

Yu Qi has never seen Zisu work so hard, even if she used to make game chickens in the south, the chickens were killed and cleaned by others, and she just finished it with her clean hands.

Yu Qi lifted the hem of her skirt, rolled up her sleeves and walked away, and without waiting for Zisu to raise her head to refuse, she had already put her hand on the lever and lifted it with Zisu.

Zisu said: "Why did you come here, I can do this job." It's cold outside, so sit in the house! ”

Yu Qi smiled, still working with her. Wait for the water to be brought into the kitchen.

Yu Qi saw that the kitchen had been cleaned up by Zisu, the stove was the stove, the firewood was firewood, and she didn't know where she borrowed the oil, salt, rice, and pots and pans, all of which were placed on the side dishes.

Yu Qi was surprised and surprised: "What does my sister want to cook?" ”

At that time, Zisu squatted on the stove to make a fire, rolled a booklet into a tube, and blew into the stove. Listening to Yu Qi's words, Zisu stopped blowing the fire and turned around and said, "If you want to eat peasant food, I will cook it for them." It's hard for me. ”

Yu Qi went over and squatted down: "Sister, the old lady just talk about it, don't take it seriously." ”

Zi Su said: "Others can have false intentions, why do we need to learn from her?" We mean it from the bottom of our hearts. If you want to do it, you can do it well. It's okay, Ting'er. ”

Yu Qi was grateful and said, "Then let's make something delicious!" I see it's all greens and wild vegetables, where did you find them? ”

Zisu said: "You're worried too much." What delicacies have you never eaten in this kind of rich and noble family? Presumably, other people's houses also thought the same way with the girl, and they had already prepared excellent dishes for the old lady to go. Listening to that talk in the morning, what is it in daily life, what is used to it. Those who listen don't know what to think, and I hear that some people are extremely tired. So, I'm going to create something new. He laughed treacherously, and whispered his head to Yu Qi and said, "I made the kind of thieves unpalatable, so that they will never forget!" ”

Yu Qi smiled knowingly.

Zhuang Qi knew that Zisu took the opportunity to take revenge on the people of Zhuangfu.

However, I don't know what kind of food Zisu wants to make?
