Chapter 7: Plum Blossom Branding (Part II)
Zhuang Yu let go of the people behind him and greeted Xianglian and Ayu.
Zhuang Yu looked at the people behind him and said strangely: "How do you know that we are here, and we still send cloaks?" ”
The girls in the back have those from the North Mansion, the South Mansion, and the East Mansion, and they are holding nothing else in their hands, which are the cloaks of the girls. It turned out that Zhuang Jue pulled Yu Qi out, and it happened that Zhu'er saw it, so Zhu'er went to Jinghua Xie to ask Zisu, only to know that Zhuang Jue pulled Yu Qi to go to Dongfu Rolling Garden to play with the girls.
So, Zhu'er took it as news and said to the old lady that the old lady asked someone to open the window and see that it was snowing outside. I asked them if they were dressed well, and they cared endlessly. Because he was not at ease, he asked Zhu'er to send someone to Xifu to find a cloak to send, but fortunately, Zhu'er was clever and asked people to report to their respective mansions, and they all sent people to send cloaks. Coincidentally, Zhuang Jue's girl Jin Paper slipped when she went out, and Xianglian sent it for her when she saw it. Ayu only went when she heard that Yu Qi was here, otherwise she would not have been.
Now. Xianglian and Ayu followed everyone into the house and sat around the kang. At that time, the beeswax girl had already brought a few stoves and two pots of tea.
At this moment, no one spoke, and Du Baba watched the water on the stove boil.
Seeing that everyone was speechless, Xianglian opened: "It's as if we are not welcome here." As soon as we came, you were silent. So he pretended to take Ayu's hand: "Jade girl, let's go back!" ”
Zhuang Yu is the master, so he smiled and pulled Xianglian and Ayu: "It's really a slap in the face." The second sister and the third sister just had a fall, and it should be a pain. The jade girls came just in time, why not take a look at the injuries for them? ”
Ayu had already seen it, and before Zhuang Yu spoke, she had seen it carefully, and it was fine, but Zhuang Ying fell harder, and a little blood stained on her forehead.
Zhuang Xuan exhaled angrily: "I am determined to make trouble with you, that is happy." When you saw me falling, you didn't help me, and I don't know what your reasoning is. ”
Zhuang Jue smiled: "It's not like you haven't fallen. The third sister of the family fell like that, and she didn't say anything. ”
Zhuang Xuan hit Zhuang Yu with a backhand. Zhuang Jue said: "If you work hard, if you don't have the air to come out, you will find me, I will bear it." ”
Because of this, everyone laughed again.
After laughing for a while, Xianglian said: "It's strange this year, it's earlier than in previous years." In previous years, it didn't snow until more than 20s, but it didn't fall in the dozens. ”
As she spoke, she stood by the door and watched the snow fall heavier and heavier outside.
At this time, the cloaks that were brought were not worn by the people. Xianglian pointed to the girls and said, "They are all nerds, you will definitely be told by your wife when you go back later." I don't put it on the girls. After speaking, Xianglian went to get the cloak and draped Zhuang Qian first. Seeing this, the rest of the girls took action one after another to give their own children.
Zhuang Jue put on his cloak, deliberately pulled the hat on his head, pretended to be weird to tease everyone, and said to Xianglian: "What is the second brother doing at home?" ”
Xianglian sighed: "When did the second master stay at home one day?" He's going to do it, can I get out of the air? I have the heart of a thief, but I don't have the courage of a thief. ”
Zhuang Yu said with a smile: "Presumably, the second brother went to find Mr. Guan for Sister Yu again." ”
Ayu smiled lightly and didn't say anything, but Yu Qi approached her and slowly put her hand on the back of her hand to show relief.
Ayu said: "That's the second master's heart." The gentleman is from the south, and it snows so much, I don't know what happened to him. ”
Because of these words, everyone felt the cold air outside, and they all folded their cloaks and shrank their heads, and did not speak. Seeing that everyone was quiet, Ayu felt that he had spoken coldly, so he smiled and said, "It was still lively just now, why did I say something that didn't fit the situation." ”
Yu Qi said: "Relatives and friends are not around, whenever the weather season is approaching, it is normal for people to remember something." The girl was hearty. ”
Zhuang Tortoise: "What my sister said is that Sister Yu is too careful. We've just gotten cold outside. After a while, I'll play with them to make plum blossoms. Take a break and cover up. He turned his head to Huiyuan's girl and said, "Do you have dice in your house?" ”
Beeswax was stunned by the question, and turned his head to look at Huiyuan.
Huiyuan said softly to the beeswax: "You go and ask your aunt and grandmother to see if there is any." ”
Beeswax nodded and went. After a while, I really brought the dice and the bell, and there was a person behind me, laughing happily. When everyone heard the laughter, they looked up and saw that it was none other than Aunt Zhuang Erfang's grandmother.
My aunt and grandmother saw everyone, and they saluted first, except for Huiyuan, Yu Li, Ayu, and Xianglian who returned the salute, the rest of them responded with a cold smile on their faces. Grandma may feel that she is not well treated, so she saluted Huiyuan again with a red face: "What else does grandma need, tell me, I will serve." ”
Huiyuan blushed for a while, and didn't know how to answer. Fortunately, Zhuang Jue said: "It's nothing, let's just play by ourselves." ”
This aunt is slightly older than everyone else, no wonder Zhuang Jue and they are estranged from her. And she knows that her identity is low, and she rarely shows up with everyone, it is rare for Huiyuan to come with such an identity, she feels that there are people with the same status, and she can get along. I never thought that today's hot face caters to such a situation.
My aunt's face was naturally ashamed, so she smiled shyly and nodded and went out.
Before my aunt left, Zhuang Qi snorted: "I'm not afraid of insulting this door, what will Baba do when he comes in." In front of the eldest brother, when she was not courteous, this serious sister-in-law is here! It's not fun to come here. ”
Zhuang Ying saw Zhuang Qi talking in a bad way, so she reached out and pulled her.
The aunt and grandmother heard it outside, and tears came out, and they were squeezed by the dead aunt and grandmother before, so they couldn't stand it, and they thought that none of these sisters-in-law were easy to deal with, and they came together every day to humiliate themselves. It's just that his worth is too low, and the people in the palace look down on him.
Then I heard Zhuang Qi say: "Others don't know, I know." Coax the big brother to accept how many things, don't think that the wife and the big sister are okay if they just ask. I didn't bother to report it to them. Now that my sister-in-law is here, I will only tell my sister-in-law. ”
My aunt was so angry that she sat under the porch, and after a while, she stood up and said, "I didn't come in from the front door, so I can't serve my grandmother?" The girl was not afraid of being laughed at when these words were spread. I am from your eldest brother's house, so I naturally have things that my family keeps in my own house. Could it be that something is moved outside, isn't that eating inside and out? ”
After Zhuang Xuan heard this, he got up with a grunt and went out of the door, just in time to see his aunt and grandmother walking away with her sleeves brushed up. If it weren't for the sisters who came to pull it up, Zhuang Xuan would have scolded him.
Huiyuan is the master, so he came to help Zhuang Qi to sit and pour tea in person. relieved: "Why should the girl be angry. Blame me for not being inconsiderate. ”
Zhuang Xuan sneered: "There is nothing. Irrelevant. I'm here to be happy. I hated that woman and went! It's boring! ”
Zhuang Jue threw the dice into the bell, shook it loudly, and said happily: "How can it be boring? Don't you have any of these? Come on! Greet Zhuang Xuan: "Shake it for you first, take the lead, and win a Ruixue Zhaofeng year." How is it? ”
After Zhuang Xuan listened, he let go of the cloak draped on his back and let the girl take it, and went to fish for the dice himself. smiled: "Then I can talk about the rules." This plum blossom branding, I want to brand wherever I want, and if you lose, you are not allowed to hide or rely on it. ”
The rest of the sisters shrank in the corner of the kang to express their fear, and the girls laughed in a bunch.
Yu Qi and Ayu are from outside, and they don't know how to play this matter. Therefore, Ayu asked: "How to play plum blossoms?" This is the first time I've heard of it. ”
Zhuang Yu said: "This game is only played in our house, when I was a child, my eldest brother saw us naughty, and made this way of playing to punish people." Later, as soon as it snowed, it became a game. Look at the dice, it's better to guess the points, whoever says the lower the number, wins. The one with the highest number of points loses. Losers are punished by winners. In the past, the eldest brother picked the plum blossoms on the tree and branded them on our foreheads, and when he couldn't stand the cold, he took the plum blossoms and froze them out of a print. It's the plum blossom branding. ”
Zhuang Yu got up from the kang, walked to the corner of the wall and took out a jade bottle, and said, "I'll pick plum blossoms." You guys play first. ”
Zhuang Qian grabbed Zhuang Yu and said, "The five girls don't want to run." Ordered his own girl Wanjin: "You go and pick the thick snow, take it outside, and store enough snow before coming in to burn." ”
Zhuang Yu struggled to break free: "Don't work your sister in the house." I'll go on my own! I know that you will come together to bully me later, so I will bow to the god of flowers first, and bless me to win you and burn you in snow. ”
After speaking, he smiled and broke free from Zhuang Qi's hand. Zhuang Ying was afraid that her sister would fall outside, so she asked the girl to follow.
Zhuang Yu went outside, found the low wall of the cobblestone path, and saw the plum blossoms blooming. The excitement passed in a hurry. Unexpectedly, when I got to the wall, I suddenly saw a red shadow.
Zhuang Yu was startled, rushed forward bravely, pointed to the red shadow and said, "Who is it?" Sneak up on what you want to do! ”
The red shadow stopped, and quickly turned around. At first glance, it is the exquisite meaning of the Beifu Fence Bamboo Garden.
Zhuang Yu opened his mouth in shock.
At this moment, Yi Linglong's face was frozen white, dripping with water all over her body, her head was soaked, and her lips were purple from the cold, she didn't listen to the call and trembled, and she didn't know whether to talk or laugh.
Zhuang Yu said: "Are you sick?" It's a cold day, and I'm getting wet. ”
When Yi Linglong heard this, she immediately spread out her hands, became relaxed, without any cold, moved closer to Zhuang Yu, and said, "Do you see a sick person like me?" ”
Zhuang Yu pursed his mouth, didn't want to deal with it, turned his head and beckoned the girl to pick plum blossoms.
The girls are not tall enough, and they didn't hook a few feet. Yi Linglong smiled: "Just a few of you who want to take the plum blossoms on the tree?" I tell you, take the ladder and go! You pull it down, and the petals are all gone. ”
Zhuang Yu snorted: "I want me to be happy, I like Huazhi'er." ”
Yi Linglong was so cold that she endured it, but she didn't expect someone to want to pick flowers, but she also endured it and said that as long as the flower branches. Think about it, your temperament is the same as your own. Therefore, Zhuang Yu was in a little more fun mood, so he walked over, jumped in the air with all his strength, pulled down the plum blossom branch lightly, and hung it for the girls to grab.
Yi Linglong clapped her hands and said, "I originally wanted to come and get a few sticks to see you take such a big bottle." If it's not enough for you to stuff, I won't take it. It's all for you! Before leaving, he turned around and said, "Don't tell people that I came to pick flowers and frame me as a thief!" I'm blatant, and I don't accept it when I say I'm a thief! ”
After Yi Linglong finished speaking, she trembled and trembled.
Zhuang Yu and the girls covered their mouths and laughed behind them, and then Zhuang Yu said to the girls: "I'll tell you a joke when I go back later, and you are not allowed to say a word." Do you hear that? ”
The girls answered.
After a while, Zhuang Yu picked up a bottle and hugged it back with satisfaction. When you leave, don't forget to pray and worship the plum tree. When he arrived in the courtyard, he didn't take it in, but put the bottle outside in the snow, and told the girl to watch it before he entered the house.
