Chapter 275: Peacock Feather, Phoenix Feather (II)
Zhuang Pu said while pouring spicy seeds, garlic cloves, and chicken and duck intestines into it, a full pot. Let's not talk about whether it is fragrant or not, and if it is not in the middle, after a while, the spicy smoke will directly push people's tears down.
The person sitting at the table next to him walked out like the wind. all complained about the second master's whole person.
The scene was ridiculous, the old lady laughed so hard that she couldn't hold her chopsticks steadily, and said straightly: "Tell the three of them to sit at the door!" Don't choke on food. β
That's what the old men mean, whether they want to or not, hurry up and call the boys to move the table, so that they can sit outside.
Afraid that Zhuang Jue would be cold outside, the old lady said, "Why did Ju'er take down the Peacock Feather?" It's so cold to sit outside, and you don't wear it, just come and sit with me, don't make do with your second brother and smoke it. β
Zhuang Jue said: "The old lady doesn't have to rush me, I like this new thing." I want to try it. Seeing that it was delicious, I will put a bowl on the old lady later. β
Zhuang Jue tasted it, but he didn't know what he ate, so he was so spicy that he shed tears, and opened his mouth to ask Fusheng to bring tea.
This again caused the audience to burst into laughter.
So, since the old lady, everyone has said, don't clip me, I don't eat that spicy man!
In the end, only Zhuang Pu and Zhuang Ji sat opposite each other and ate happily. Zhuang Jue ran inside, sat down next to Yu Qi, because the two of them got together at a table, and made a joke, and the sisters said that the two sacred birds made a pair!
It's about talking, laughing, eating and drinking, and it's also very enjoyable.
And thenβ
The old man ate several glasses of wine, and the conversation box was open.
The eldest man said to the old lady: "The year after tomorrow is the queen mother's thousand autumns, pointing to the township to try to do it next year." This year, things don't look good, and the heavens and the earth are flooded. The Queen Mother is very worried, afraid that few people will take the exam next year. β
The second old man Zhuang Lu smiled and said: "The eldest brother, the third brother, and the fourth brother are all officials, are you tired of being officials?" Who doesn't want to make a name for themselves and get a golden job! If I were young, I would have to take the test. There are few people outside who can compare with our family, so our family doesn't have to rush to the big water to take the township test, the palace test! Could it be that the officials in our house are going to do the superintendents? Afraid that the candidates will not be able to cope with it? β
The eldest man shook his head and said, "It's not our turn, even if we have to go, we have to be empty!" β
The second old man said: "Yo! What's going on? β
A room full of women and girls are listening, listening to the old man tell the story of officialdom!
The old man said: "If you want us to go to supervise the exam, we won't go." A few days ago, many people walking under the Zhan Mansion were involved in a crime, and his relatives were involved in fraud, which almost caused him to lose his black gauze hat! At this time, he was investigated for disaster relief money and food, and he was not able to get out. β
As soon as these words came out, the third and fourth masters were silent.
The eldest lord said again: "He asked to come to our house, and it is reasonable not to help, but to help, it is love." Last year, we had that incident in Dongfu, and we still asked him to find someone to clear it up. I thought, when I should go back to the other side, I will take a hand. Who knows, since the Mid-Autumn Festival, it has been raining non-stop, and many places have been waterlogged. The Lord and the Queen Mother pointed out that I should go out and follow the disaster relief! Today's winter solstice, after eating this reunion dinner, I'm afraid I'm going to be busy until the New Year! β
The third old man said solemnly: "It is also the lord and the queen mother who look down on the big brother, so they appointed this important brother." β
The old man said: "Many people begged, but they didn't get it!" Disaster relief money and food is a big fat shortage! But it's also a hot taro! Fortunately, we have the blessing of our ancestors, and my colleagues in the court have given me some face, and they let me go. β
The fourth old man said: "I heard that the queen mother will do a thousand years after the future, and she wants to disperse this grace." β
The eldest master said: "Conforming to the way of heaven is also conforming to the grace of heaven." I played a chapter, saying that I should allocate a sum of money and grain to show the emperor's grace. The Queen Mother has granted permission! β
I don't know if the eldest man is overjoyed after eating too much wine, and he is very happy.
After hearing this, the old lady was very displeased, coughed twice, and said: "The old man is the master of foreign affairs, and now our family affairs and family banquets, I am afraid that it is not appropriate to talk about the government." The old man likes to discuss, and he has a table like the uncle and the second master, and he goes outside! We don't need to listen to that, but look, as soon as you say it, who dares to say anything! A group of ladies only care about the pot in the bowl, your world, you host it! β
So, the Qin family, the county lord, and the aunt gave their respective masters a look and let them toast the old lady.
The eldest lord raised his head, poured wine, saluted the old lady, and apologized, saying, "We all know that the queen mother respects our old lady." I went up with a fold, approved 20,000 taels of silver, and pointed to Shuntian, Zhili and other places. These victims have to thank our old lady for their blessings! I'll respect the old lady for them! β
After speaking, the eldest man raised his head and cupped.
Then, the third and fourth masters also respected, but did not speak.
Because the old man said that, the girls poured wine and saluted the old lady in unison. After the girls finished saluting, the young masters also took turns to salute.
The old lady didn't want to listen to the affairs of the court, but now, it doesn't matter if she toasts in a hot way.
After a few rounds of drinking, the old lady sighed: "Everyone knows that blessings and misfortunes depend on each other. Who trusts whom? I can't see it! A few masters who are officials, you are doing things by yourself with the heads of the whole house, but it is not the time to eat and drink in confusion, you guys, pay attention to each other. Today, when I am a family member, I should not hear what I say, and those of you here are the same as me, I can't hear it, after eating this glass of wine, it is time to eat dumplings! β
The old lady threw her head up and drank three glasses in a row.
Then, no one dared to answer, and the scene was cold.
Yu Qi, who was sitting next to Zhuang Jue, looked at the wine glass in front of him with grunting eyes, and recalled the old lady's words just now: "Everyone in the world knows that blessings and misfortunes depend on each other." Who trusts whom? I can't see it! "That's a familiar one!
On the same day, when she took refuge in Xianyuan Nunnery and asked for help from Bojing Laoni, Bojing Laoni said to her and Mr. Yao: "Everyone has his own life, and each flower has its own master." I don't know who will give whom blessings, in the end she will seek it herself. It's her who is blessed, and the bitter outsiders don't know, but it's also hers after all. At that time, I was commenting on Concubine Yuan in the palace, and I was talking about Zhuo Yiyue, Yu Qi's own sister.
Now compared to the old lady's words, how similar it is.
The cold scene has been cold for too long, and they are embarrassed.
The county lord gave his aunt a look.
Aunt Mi understood in an instant, she got up, slowly walked to the old lady, and said to her: "Old lady, today is red, the top prize has not been announced!" Otherwise, you can announce it while the big guys are ready! So that the old men can see a witness. β
The old lady was reminded of this, and quickly laughed out loud and said, "Yo! Yes, yes! If you don't say it, I forgot! β
He also asked his aunt to take out the red silk on the head.
The aunt pushed the toss and stuffed the red silk to the old lady in a hidden way, and she had to announce it.
The old lady couldn't push it, so she took it and said, "I won't say who it is, you can see for yourself!" β
Passed to the eldest wife Qin, the Qin family passed to the second wife Cao, and the Cao family passed to the third wife county lord, the county lord didn't need to pass it to the aunt, just send it to the eldest lady and their table, go down, pass it all over.
In the end, everyone sighed.
The old lady deliberately asked, "Who came out on top?" β
Zhuang Qi and Zhuang Yu were fast-mouthed, and they both rushed to say: "It's the eldest brother's house!" I don't know if the eldest brother threw it, or the eldest sister-in-law threw it! It's a big deal to them! β
Zhuang Xuan added: "With so much strength, I have to move the gold ingots!" β
Finally, Zhuang Xuan's words made everyone laugh.
The old lady said, "In this case, I said I will reward it!" When the king of the South China Sea came to the dynasty, he said that he would only give us a phoenix feather in the house, which was the one draped by the girl, do you know, there is something more valuable than this? β
The crowd shook their heads and said they didn't know.
The old lady smiled, turned around and grabbed Zhu'er, and said, "Did you take it?" β
Zhu'er gave a salute and said, "Mei'er is careful, so she brought it early." β
I saw Mei'er holding a square box, heavy in her hand, looking quite heavy, to the old lady, kneeling, and putting it on the table.
The old lady opened the box and held out a white bead in both hands, so that when the sky was getting dark, the bead was faintly glowing.
The old lady said: "This is the night pearl of the South China Sea people's first fish body mackerel fairy, there are two original, there is one in the palace, this one, the queen mother rewarded." I've been hiding for so many years, and now, I'm out of the house. This bead is the most precious in our house. It's been given to the Dongfu Town House in vain! Get it! β
The brothers and sisters all called the uncle to get it.
At this time, Uncle Zhuang was eating and drinking nonsense outside, and he was already drunk.
Seeing this, the Qin family said embarrassedly: "Old lady, his hands and feet are shaking, it is better to let the eldest daughter-in-law take it on his behalf!" β
The Qin family motioned for the eldest grandmother to go and receive the reward.
The eldest grandmother went, approached the old lady, knelt down first, and kowtowed three times before taking back the reward.
It's incredibly expensive.
Everyone looked envious and jealous, and said in their hearts: What blessing has Dongfu accumulated, and it is such a big treasure.
Some people also think that the old lady is eccentric, and the heart of the middle child is inclined to Dongfu. But who's going to say anything?
However, Yu Qi congratulated the grandmother from the bottom of her heart on getting this baby, although the grandmother didn't look at herself, she still looked at her, full of joy, all her feelings, silently in her heart.
After eating the dumplings, the winter solstice feast was dispersed, and they went back to their homes without mentioning it.
Yu Qi returned to Jinghuaxie and lay on the kang tiredly.
Zisu brought tea to her to eat, but she didn't eat it, saying that she would get drunk and drink a few glasses of wine.
Zisu laughed at her and said: "You got a phoenix feather, be content, why bother with the night pearl that the red family gets." β
It's a joke.
Yu Qi glanced lazily at Zisu and said, "I'm not the second wife, what does it do?" I want it, there are eight out of ten, and I can't finish a box! β
That's true, the pearl of the night, there are many, many in the secret passage, and when I went in, I saw it all over the ground! But the old lady said that there was only one, and it was given by the Queen Mother, didn't the old lady know that there were many treasures hidden under the Zhuangfu? There are many night pearls?
Zi Su said: "Then I don't think you're very happy, why?" β
Yu Qi said: "Horizontal and vertical are things from Zhuangfu, I'm not rare!" It's a pity, I'm in Xifu today, so close to Shizhai, but I couldn't go to see my mother! β
Zisu chirped: "Here we go again!" Didn't you say it last time, you can't kiss it, you can't kiss it, we don't recognize it! β
As soon as he spoke, Yu Qi's eyes turned red, and tears rolled down.
Zisu was nervous and took out a handkerchief to wipe it for her.
Yu Qi sobbed: "Let it fall!" It's not worth the money anyway! Then he said, "When my sister said this, I told me not to recognize it, but I kowtowed to my mother, and I recognized it in my heart." My father and mother left me, and it was my mother who treated me so sincerely, and my mother also said that she would give us all the gold, silver and jewelry on the ground. I don't need that, but after all, I can see that it's true, isn't it? Today, in the Green Wax Pavilion, I saw my mother. β
Speaking of this, tears kept falling, and Zisu was at a loss.
After his mind calmed down, Yu Qi told Zisu about the black plum of the Green Wax Pavilion and heard that Zhuang Jue said "Mrs. Gu", and told Zisu word for word.
Zisu was shocked when he heard this.
At that moment, Sanxi came over stupidly, picked up the tea on the table, and said, "The girl's tears have fallen out, eat a cup of tea to make up for it." β
Pushing the tea to Yu Qi, Yu Qi didn't take it, the cup shook a little, and poured it on the phoenix feather.
Zisu and Yu Qi said "ah" at the same time.
This sound, isn't it just the mirror flowers that are loud? The Xifu side is also loud.
Isn't it because of the peacock feather?
