Chapter 57: Rejoicing (II)

Zhuang Xuan didn't move, but her laughter rang like a silver bell.

I saw Zhuang Xuan tilt his head slightly to Zisu and said, "I'll move, how about it?" ”

At that time, he quickly moved the rouge bowl on the table to the tray prepared by Wan Jin, and said: "The finished things are just put, what kind of heart do you have." Sister Qi is a bully, you just make her a bad person and let her be a bad person, don't you know that no one in the house has dinner? Just waiting for your small bowl, waiting for such a hard time. It's not the imperial chef next to the emperor, what kind of rank do you put on! ”

Zisu held the bowl and listened hatefully.

Yu Qi was embarrassed.

Suddenly, Zisu walked over slowly, put a large bowl of rouge on the gold tray, and said, "Carefully, this bowl belongs to the second girl." ”

Zhuang Lili smiled lightly, and when Zisu put down the bowl, she brought it out again, and said, "The old lady's bowl is ready?" ”

Zisu hooked his head to the stove, motioned to see a residual bowl on it, and said, "The old lady uses that." You use this good one. ”

Zhuang Qi took a closer look, and the bowl was more broken than the one on the table, so he said disgustedly: "Confused, what is it for the old lady." ”

Zisu said: "The old man uses the old bowl, this is to show filial piety." ”

Zisu is right, sweeping the dust and removing the old, and remembering the bittersweet are all old examples designated by the old lady, and the old clothes and old things used today are very compatible; But they never expected that they would leave such a broken one for the old lady. At first, Zhuang Qian thought so. Thinking about it carefully, I felt that the master and servant of Yu Qi had a plan in their hearts.

So, Zhuang Qi said: "Oh! Yes! If the old lady's bowl is not ready, I will keep this bowl with the old lady's bowl. ”

So, Zhuang Qi ignored Yu Qi's embarrassing situation, and went out with Wan Jin with four or five bowls.

After the two went out, Zisu was quite uneasy, and said to Yu Qi: "Yin and Yang are weird. I'm not at ease, or I'll go along, lest I put something in on the road and blame you later. ”

Say, take Yu Qi's hand and follow Zhuang Qi's master and servant closely.

Sanxi sighed and stomped his feet behind him, shouting, "Do you want to serve a few more bowls?" She was afraid that Zhuang Qian would rob the girl of the credit.

Because he saw that there were plates on the table, Sanxi took seven or eight bowls of the ground, and then.

The three of Yu Qi's master and servant immediately followed Zhuang Qi inside, and they didn't see any moves along the way. Welcoming into the house, Zhuang Qian first asked the old lady and the wife to take a look. When everyone saw the things in the bowl, they were red and transparent, with bright luster, simple and exquisite, and they were all amazed.

Without waiting for the old lady to speak, Zhuang Qi said, "Old lady, your bowl is still outside." I'll show the old ladies and ladies first. Otherwise, they say that I only have to eat and not work. ”

The old lady praised, "That's good." ”

Zhuang Xuan was satisfied.

The old lady said, "Since my bowl is outside, you will share these with your wives first, and give one more bowl to your second brother." ”

In this way, Zhuang Xuan served them separately.

At that time, Yu Qi and Zisu came in. Zisu stood far away on the edge of the curtain and didn't get close, Sanxi held the plate behind Yu Qi, and waited for Zhuang Qi to distribute, Sanxi handed the plate to Yu Qi.

Yu Qituo brought seven or eight bowls to the old lady and showed her.

The old lady said, "Feed me up." It's good that the wives have it, and these are for the girls to eat for themselves. I'll wait for my bowl, and it will be a good stock. ”

As he spoke, he smiled to himself and watched the wives take the bowls.

After listening to this, Yu Qi went to the sisters. For a moment, the sisters gathered around like magpies. The arrangement is as follows: Zhuang Hu a bowl, Zhuang Ying a bowl, Zhuang Yu a bowl, Zhuang Yu a bowl, Zhuang Ying a bowl, Zhuang Ying a bowl, Zhuang Ying a bowl, Zhuang Yu a bowl, and the rest of a bowl, Yu Qi served it to the eldest grandmother Huiyuan.

After parting, the old lady said happily: "There are all points, but the girl forgets herself when she takes care of others." Girl, you follow me all the way, let's save the good goods. ”

Yu Qi blushed and hurriedly said, "The aunts haven't been served yet, I'll serve them with the aunts in a while." ”

Unexpectedly, Zhuang Xuan said quickly: "It's okay, I'll serve my bowl and the old lady's bowl." ”

After speaking, he went out with ten thousand gold.

Yu Qi and Sanxi stood in front of everyone in a daze, a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, the old lady raised her hand to Yu Qi and said, "Go, hurry up." He also called Zhu'er and other girls: "Don't just look at it, go and help Miss Qi." ”

Zhu'er and Ju'er heard it, and happily pulled Sanxi away.

Sanxi and the others turned to the kitchen door, and just saw Zhuang Qi and Wan Jin coming out with plates, and there were really only two bowls on them.

Zhuang Xuan smiled and said to Zhu'er: "You're all there!" Carefully served. ”

After speaking, Zhuang Xuan smiled like a silver bell, and his aftermath was ethereal, and he hurried back to the house.

Entering the house.

Zhuang Xuan was even happier than before, and carefully brought it to the old lady's eyes in a soft voice, and said, "Old lady, you are eating a big bowl." ”

Zisu heard it by the door, couldn't hold back his anger, and took two steps. Yu Qi also heard it, glanced back at Zisu, and saw that she was moving over, so Yu Qi stepped back slightly and held Zisu.

Yes, the big bowl was originally prepared for Zhuang Xuan, and the bowl body was specially painted with gold edges, which was a perennial rich bowl. That was when Zi Su saw Zhuang Xuan enter the kitchen, he temporarily transferred it and called it, specifically for Zhuang Xuan.

Unexpectedly, Zhuang Xuan borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, and it had such a role.

Looking down again, Zhuang Qi said: "Old lady, Sister Qi and Zisu said that the old lady is the one who is in charge, so she has to use this big bowl." I'll just use this rotten bowl. ”

deliberately bit the word "rotten bowl", and Tete lifted the bowl to the old lady.

The old lady glanced at Yu Qi deeply and said, "The mind of the girl is too good at lifting you." It's good that you have this heart, and I blame you for it today. But everyone is an old bowl, so why should you give me such a golden bowl? ”

Yu Qi couldn't help but be silent, and after listening, he stepped forward to salute the old lady: "It's all my own decision, please ask the old lady to punish me for not acting according to the old routine." ”

The old lady said, "You are also kind." But your kindness is in the wrong place. However, it doesn't hurt that you're going through the old routine for the first time. Be careful later! ”

Yu Qi hung his head down.

Zhuang Qian moved the spoon to eat rouge, and when he saw that the old lady did not move and said something like that, he said: "If the old lady doesn't dislike my bowl, take it!" I should have been richer, and I will use one with gold. ”

At that time, the wives, girls and others admired and tasted at the same time, so that they were not harmonious and happy.

The old lady slanted her eyebrows and said to Zhuang Xuan: "Stinky girl! It's cheap and good. I'm going to use it! ”

The old lady said that she wanted to taste the bowl at the same time, and the ingredient stepped up and said to the old lady: "Old lady, I think it is not good for you to use this bowl." I'll change the bowl for you. ”

The old lady stopped and stared at Zisu: "Why?" ”

Zi Su said: "It was our girl's filial piety, and the old lady didn't blame her in public, but she used it, this is not to tell the girls that the old lady prefers our girl." What do we girls think we're going to do with the girls? I just put the rouge in the bowl, which is what I meant, it can be seen that I want to please the girl, but I am wrong, and the girl is afraid that I will be punished, and she will be guilty. I'm silent, I'm sorry for our girl. If the old lady loves the girl, let me change the golden bowl in your hand. ”

After Zisu finished speaking, he bowed deeply.

Yu Qi was very grateful, and raised his eyes to look at Zisu.

The old lady nodded: "Make!" "Hold the bowl over.

Zi Su went to take the golden bowl in the old lady's hand, and when he turned around, he didn't forget to glance at Zhuang Qi with hatred.

Zhuang Xuan snorted and ate by himself.

At this time, Zhu'er waited for the girl to come in with a plate, and the rouge bowl was full of them, red and bright, which was very good-looking. Waiting for it to be distributed to the aunts one by one, Yu Qi served a bowl by himself, and before it was used, Zisu came in with a plate again.

Everyone looked over and saw that Zisu was holding a wooden bowl.

The old lady asked Mei'er to pick it up, and when she took it, she saw that the wooden bowl was not only worn, but also cracked.

Zhuang Qi leaned his head and glanced at him, and sneered coldly: "My sister's people are really careless, all of them are old porcelain bowls, let the old lady use rotten wooden bowls, it's better than a golden bowl!" Didn't you scold the old lady? ”

Yu Qi was stunned: "Sister, what did you say?" ”

Zhuang Qi smiled and said nothing.

Zhuang Jue pursed his lips and said angrily: "The second sister has a lot of tricks, I want to say that the wooden bowl is rotten wood!" I don't think Sister Qi meant to be like this. Second sister, you can save some tongue! ”

Zhuang Qi glanced at Zhuang Yu and wanted to talk back.

At this time, Zisu interrupted: "What the fifth girl said is true. The wooden bowl was brought by Shouzhongju, and I originally borrowed salt to hold salt. The salt was originally made by condensation of water quality, if it was held in a porcelain bowl for fear of resurgence, the salt was melted, and the wooden bowl was dry and suitable for storage, so it was served. Who knows, the wives and girls came so together, the bowls prepared were not enough, and our girls didn't want to trouble Sister Ju'er, so when it was really not enough, we used the wooden bowl ourselves. However, I think that the wood is the most safe, the four seasons of the tree is safe, the wooden house is peaceful, the meaning is excellent, the old lady is used, it is longevity, and the four seasons are everyspring. ”

After Zhuang Xuan heard this, he was silent.

The old lady waved her hand and said, "Okay! It's just a bowl, and it can be said for a long time. I'll just use this, the girl is rotten wood, then I'll rot it for her, let the girl be purple and red every day, and compare you all to it! ”

The wives immediately echoed and said yes, and the Cao family took the lead and said a few words about Zhuang Xuan. Zhuang Qi behaved obediently, and rubbed the old lady delicately, but the old lady was helpless to her, so she just took care of her.

After the girls finished eating, they said that it was delicious and that they would add it, and Zhuang Ying and Zhuang Pu sneaked to the kitchen to add it when everyone was talking about the wooden bowl. When the girls shouted for more, they sent someone to serve it, and when they arrived in the kitchen, they saw that the two brothers were fighting for me, and they had eaten everything.

When everyone heard this, they all rolled back and forth with laughter. The old lady said, "It is useless to pursue it." ”

Later, Cao asked the girl to put the food box she brought over. Dining place, change to the hall. For a while, some girls were busy serving dishes and plates, and some girls added stoves to make fires to keep warm.

Stopped. The old lady sat down, and the people stood and waited. The old lady said to them: "Coarse tea and light rice, life is comfortable." He pointed to Zhuang Yu and Zhuang Pu and said: "In the old days, the master in the palace ate with no more than three chopsticks, do you know why?" ”

Zhuang Jue said: "If you eat too much, it is easy to hold on." So, don't overeat. ”

The old lady shook her head.

Zhuang Pu said: "Presumably, the masters in the palace have eaten too much, and the chopsticks have a choice, and they are reluctant to add more chopsticks!" ”

The old lady smiled, "No. ”

Zhuang Qi said: "The masters must be kind, and they want to keep it and give it to their subordinates to eat." ”

The old lady laughed and said, "It's a shame that your wife is in business, but she didn't tell you?" The more you like the object, can't you show it to others? If others know that you like it, the price has to go up, and you don't have to make any money. In the same way, if others know what you like to eat, don't say anything else, and honor you every day, don't you want you to look like your wife? It's hard to move around! ”

Zhuang Yu smiled: "Isn't that intentional to harm people?" ”

The old lady coughed, signaled not to say anything, then picked up the chopsticks, and ate a sample of vegetables at will, because she remembered the pickles in Dongfu, and said, "The pickles in Dongfu are not put up?" ”

Therefore, Cao Shi also commanded the food box of Dongfu to be brought and placed with pickles.

The old lady was very satisfied, and motioned for the pickles to be placed in front of her, and let the rest be pushed out of the table, and then she beckoned, "Take them all!" We'll talk for a while after eating. Today, what the girl makes, are you all satisfied? ”

The crowd praised it.

The old lady said, "It's best to be satisfied." Then he said to the county lord: "Third wife, what do you think?" ”

The county lord replied: "The girl is more careful than us, and she is better in everything. ”

The old lady smiled kindly and glanced at Yu Qi. The rest of the people stood and served the bowls, and no one put down the chopsticks. When the old lady finished eating, they stopped the bowl before they ate.

After eating, everyone rinsed their mouths, washed their hands, and sat down on the kang again.

Then, the old lady said: "A few days ago, you said that the Chinese New Year's Eve program, are you all prepared?" ”

The girls looked nervous when they heard this.

Only Zhuang Pu was fine, with a smile on his face, and said, "I heard that you divided me into six sisters and seven sisters." I thought about it, and I went to Nanfu to discuss with my two sisters in the past two days. ”

Everyone knew that what Zhuang Pu said was perfunctory, after all, the six girls were stupid, the seven girls were small, and Zhuang Pu was a little adult who could ponder and discuss with them, obviously fooling the old lady to ask.

The old lady believed it and nodded: "That's what my brother looks like." ”

Zhuang Pu was praised, and everyone cast envious eyes. After that, Zhuang Xuan said: "The second brother needs to think about and discuss, I have a program over there, pointing to the integration of these two days." It's just that the old lady has to send me a message, otherwise, someone refuses to cooperate, and the show can't be released. ”

Saying this, Zhuang Qian turned his head to look behind him. The crowd followed her gaze.

That's exquisite.

Yi Linglong was hanging her head next to Aunt Nazha at the moment, waiting for her to go back when she was done. Unexpectedly, Zhuang Xuan had nothing to do.

I saw the old lady say: "You are going to Beifu by yourself, why do you need me to speak." ”

Zhuang Xuan looked arrogant, and pointed at Yi Linglong angrily and dissatisfied: "Old lady, I'm afraid she won't cooperate." ”

Yi Linglong bit her lip, and secretly scolded in her heart: You eat red rouge, but let my blood go! I'm standing behind you and you're in the way!

Although he thought so in his heart, he said in his mouth: "Ouch, how can you not cooperate!" I am the rice of Duanbei Mansion, take the silver of Beifu, and praise the Haikou of Beifu. Who told me that day that the heavens are not afraid of the earth? Do you want me to go to heaven or to the earth, girl? ”

Zhuang Qi was rejected, and his face was red.

When everyone saw this, they couldn't stop laughing.

Zhuang Ying saw that her second sister was being bullied and wanted to stand up for her, so she approached Yi Linglong's side a little.
