Three days later, at the behest of the old lady, the Zhuang Mansion held a ceremony, which was quite grand. But he never thought that on the day of the ceremony, a sensational incident occurred, which not only the families of Zhuang Mansion did not expect, but even Zhuo Yiting could not think of it, which made the guests frightened.

Two days before the ceremony, there were three major items in the Zhuang Mansion's paving affairs: first, the name was changed; second, the façade; Third, the next post.

The so-called name change is to give Zhuo Yiting a legitimate name. The old lady and the four old men in the mansion all know that the surname Zhuo and others must not appear in the Zhuang Mansion, and it is self-evident that there are powerful cadres. But this matter came justly, and it must have been in the house first, so on this night, the old lady made the east, and the family banquet in the house was to announce the discussion of the name. Only Zhuo Yiting's master and servant were not there, and the reason was that she was seriously injured and it was inconvenient to participate.

The old lady said, "I have asked the girl for her wishes." "Plug the tongues of the crowd to calm people's speculation.

At the beginning of the term, during the meal, except for the old lady and the four old men who knew, the others did not know.

The old lady showed joy that she had never felt before, and said loudly: "Today's family banquet, I wonder if I want to tell you about a family matter. Before I said that, the wives were only allowed to annoy me, and they were not allowed to go back to annoy your master for not informing you in advance. I know that the girl's life was given by the girl, and it is pitiful to see that she is so badly injured. Now that the girl is homeless, she fled to the south and came to Kyoto to find relatives, and her relatives are no longer in Beijing. I saw that it was pitiful, and it was a saving grace. I'm going to take her as the daughter of our third master's mansion. I've discussed it with you. From now on, the second old man's mansion will handle this matter, and Hu'er and Aunt Hu will help Zhang Luo. The distant relatives will not be invited, and the princes, county kings, and the lords and lords who are close to the first and second grades, and the beyers of the Beile Beizi Mansion will be invited. It's always more low-key. The situation of the concubine is not good, and the big operation is publicized, so as not to be guilty. Because it is to recognize the daughter of the third master, the ceremony will be done in Xifu, and the banquet will be held in Xifu for one day, and the next two days will be on my side in Zhongfu, and then I will sing two more days of play. After the Dragon Boat Festival, the Dragon Boat Festival was passed in their respective houses, and this year it will not be complete. I also thought, there are many girls in our house, and there are all houses in each house, and I wanted to ask the girls to come to the middle house to accompany me, but I was afraid that the wives would not want to, so I didn't mention it. Now, I recognize this girl, although she is the daughter of the third master, just live with me! Even if the western province honored me, the other provinces also honored me. You see, but good? Third wife, what do you think? ”

The county lord was stunned after hearing this, and looked directly at Zhuang Qin, and then at the phoenix who was in the room, but he didn't know how to reply to the old lady, thinking that the old lady was joking.

Qin's and Cao's daughters-in-law laughed and didn't say anything, and they all listened to it as a joke.

The old lady knew that suddenly, everyone might not really believe her. Therefore, he said: "Master, you come." ”

When Zhuang Xi saw that he was allowed to speak, he coughed twice, his eyes wandered, and he couldn't say "um" a few times. Zhuang Qin reluctantly got up, bowed to the county lord, and said, "It's the truth." He turned his head and bowed to the old lady and said, "Listen to my mother's arrangement." ”

The old lady frowned, her heart was unhappy, and she said, "How can you call it an instruction?" Could it be that I forced you? He smiled at the county lord and said, "The eldest lady has the eldest girl and the fourth girl, and the second lady has the second girl and the third girl, these four ...... There are six girls and seven girls in the fourth master's place, and there are only five girls in your third wife's place, and I don't give you the third wife's place, but give it to others, and in the future, I will say that I don't care for you. ”

Saying this, the county lord woke up from his stunned and said with a hurried smile: "It's up to the old lady to decide." ”

The old lady said: "If you really like it, you like it, and if you don't like it, there is no regret after the ceremony." ”

The county lord said: "The old lady has always been blessed and gracious, such a good thing, how can the daughter-in-law not like it, it is too pleasantly surprised." ”

When the Qin family, the Cao family and the others saw this, they all got up together to congratulate them.

The old lady saw that everyone was integrated and accepted, and added: "What do the wives mean?" ”

The wives, aunts and others replied in unison: "I congratulate the old lady on adding another grandson." ”

The old lady was very satisfied, and said with a smile: "After the girl comes, the monthly money will be the same as the wives' share, and if you don't do it this year, you will deduct a copy from my monthly routine and rearrange it next year."

There is an old lady in the Zhuang Mansion as the village, but the house is not divided, and all the financial power is gathered in the public, such as the spring and autumn seasons of the official in the court. The property of each prefecture is divided, Zhuang Xi of the East Mansion is an official in the court, and the annual calculation is three hundred and sixty taels of silver, and Zhuang Qin of the West Mansion is also an official, with an annual salary of three hundred taels of silver, and Zhuang Yao is slightly lower than just two hundred taels. The expenditure of the whole government is actually supported by the business of Zhuang Lu, and the idle residential land is rented everywhere, including some money and silver, and more is that the old lady is rewarded by the palace to account for the majority, otherwise, how can the entire Zhuang Mansion be supported by two or three hundred people inside and outside, such as crony people. After all, it is not easy to divide the family wealth, and it is rare to be harmonious, so the old lady decided: the family members are distributed on a monthly basis by the number of generations, and there is a certain fixed number.

Therefore, when the old lady said this, the first thing to talk about was her own girls, not because they were dissatisfied, but surprised.

There is only one person who is really dissatisfied, that is Cao's, she thinks: If Zhuo Yiting counts the daughter-in-law's generation and monthly money, isn't it higher than the girl's generation? Therefore, his heart was unbalanced, and he muttered to himself: "This Buddha is also a little older, according to the rules, he thinks that he is a parent, and the monthly money is as reasonable as the girls, and it is the same as the wives, not very decent!" She said in a voice that was neither high nor low, and she didn't want the old lady to hear it, so she asked her to listen to it.

The other ladies were silent, and the old lady glanced at everyone before she looked at Cao in disgust.

The Qin family glanced at the county lord, and the county lord subconsciously replied: "I see, the old lady has a plan in her heart. ”

The old lady said to the Qin family: "What does the eldest lady mean? ”

Qin said: "It stands to reason that those who are in the same generation as the girls should be that part." It's high out of thin air, I'm afraid that the girls will be in one place. ”

The old lady nodded and said, "In that case, just like the girls." I won't mention it. I can't see that I'm any kind to people. Don't think about thoughts, people are the great benefactors of your Zhuang Mansion to save lives. ”

The other masters shook their heads without saying a word, Zhuang Pu sat on the side with his legs crossed, and when he saw that it was boring, he found a reason to flash; Zhuang Wei said that he was not happy, and it was time to take medicine, and the two aunts and grandmothers followed him out to serve and left.

Seeing that the two brothers were gone, Zhuang Ying was afraid that the old lady would be unhappy, so he asked for words to tease her, saying, "Old lady, my sister lives here with you, can you go back to our house?" ”

The old lady laughed and said, "If you want to let me go back, I will let you go." ”

Zhuang Jue said: If they don't come to pick up my sister back, I will go to the old lady every day.

The old lady said: "Shameless, I will keep your sister and not you!" Cheeky panicked. ”

Zhuang Yu was embarrassed, and Zhuang Yu, who was sitting on the side, suddenly interjected: "That sister came to our house, she should have a name, but in the past few days, we don't know who her surname is." ”

Zhuang Yu didn't mention this stubble coldly, and it was hitting the old lady's heart. couldn't let them ask Zhuo Yiting's real name, so he changed the conversation and said: "Since you come to our house, you have to respect the surname of our house." Think about it, what's the girl's name? ”

The crowd was silent, and there was not a word.

The old lady was impatient and said angrily: "It's silent, starting with the eldest master, you can talk about one." ”

Zhuang Xi was stunned, thought for a while, his face was sad, and he only said one word: "Glass." ”

The old lady glanced at him and said, "You can say it, and you don't think about whether it is auspicious or unlucky." ”

Zhuang Xi explained: "My mother doesn't know, and the "Poetry Collection of the Tang Dynasty" has the meaning of the poem 'glass water at night, spring breeze and egg sky', which is nostalgic and beautiful. ”

The old lady snorted and said, "The ancient emperor said that the Tang Dynasty Shen Qing box hurt the ancients. You prevaricate and I don't know, why don't you say, 'Six generations of old mountains and rivers, rise and fall for hundreds of years'? ”

Zhuang Xi was ashamed, so he lowered his head and said: "My son has more time to use guns and sticks than to study words, and he is not as ashamed as his mother to accompany you." ”

The old lady snorted and stared at the second old man Zhuang Lu in a blink of an eye. Zhuang Lu waved his hand again and again, and said with a smile: "I can calculate the business accounts, but it is difficult for me to take the name and count the words." ”

The old lady smiled: "I think you are the least useful." ”

Cao Shi saw that her husband was disliked, so she said casually: "Zhuang slave! It's nice and easy to remember, and it looks like the person who is most close to the old lady. ”

The crowd laughed.

When the old lady heard this, her eyes were round with anger, and she said in disgust: "Let your mother's fart!" Why don't you let your second girl and third girl take the village slave Zhuang maid! ”

Cao's face flushed, and he wished he could find a crack to drill at this moment.

The old lady saw that Cao's embarrassment, so she eased her complexion and said with a smile: "On weekdays, they are full of poems and books, and they look like ink, but now they are dumb and can't get a word." You who walk upwards and learn. This sentence is a person who hit a pole.

Zhuang Qinyin said: "If not, it will be called Zhuang Ke, and the poem "Picking Mulberry" by Emperor Jianwen of Liang in the Southern Dynasty says: 'Lian Ke goes to Qi'. Wang Jue of the Song Dynasty also said: 'Yesterday's spring breeze changed to the old year, and Lian Ke came to visit Zizhi Xian'. It means valuables, sweat and blood, and the top ornament of the horse. ”

The old lady retorted, "According to your meaning, I am the old horse?" Is it the girl who foiled me? ”

Zhuang Qin was speechless.

When he arrived at the fourth old man Zhuang Yao, he came out of his mouth and said: "The peach and plum come out of the deep well, and the flowers are amazing in spring." ”

Zhuang Jue nodded slightly, pondering: "I don't know which word the fourth uncle came up with?" ”

Zhuang Yao said: "The sentence of the poet immortal Li Bai, I push the word 'Yan', is it good to call Zhuang Yan?" ”

Zhuang Jue smiled silently and did not answer. The old lady was even more disgusted, and said: "The jade from the children in the Hefu, you are from the ghosts and gods to sprinkle beans." It's still so vulgar. Jue'er, your eldest uncle, second uncle, and fourth uncle don't even care what your father said, you come. ”

Zhuang Ying thought about it, and there were a few other girls, all of whom were rejected by the old lady. It was the turn of the wives and aunts to come out, and the Qin family and the Cao family were exempted because they didn't understand it very well. The county lord is humble, deliberately carries Zhuang Jue, and casually pushes a word, mediocre and mediocre, without a reason, the aunt in the fourth old man's room is a good one.

Aunt Yu said: "Because the girl is foreign, there is also a jade from the jade, and I think it is agreeable to take the 'seal' from the unusual." The jade in the water, bending down and going up, is the one who wins people above. ”

The old lady appreciated and liked it, but she said: "The jade in the water can also be used, and I listen." The world says that women are water, which is feminine and feminine, and when the two waters are added, the water overflows more, and the overflow is a loss. ”

Zhuang Jue smiled: "I think the words given by my aunt are acceptable, but the old lady is too picky." The co-authorship became a fortune teller for that sister. I have a word that is not feminine, and I said that I am afraid that the old lady will not like it. ”

The old lady said happily: "Let's talk about it." ”

Zhuang Jue said: "In the jade in the stone, from the jade words." Hard! My sister doesn't talk much, and she is beautiful and flawless. The word 琂 is very much in line with the younger sister. Old lady, do you think you can make this word? ”

Zhuang Jue said as he wrote a stroke on the old lady's palm.

After the old lady understood, she laughed and said, "In the jade in the stone, from the jade voice, good." What do the four masters think? ”

The four old men nodded their heads, and heard the meaning of the old lady's repetition of these words, and there was a little more to warn Zhuo Yiting.

The old lady said happily: "Since this is the case, I will be named Zhuang Qi!" Find a gentleman to record the house book. It's right behind the three girls......"

Zhuang Jue whispered in the old lady's ear: "Old lady, my sister is a few hours older than the third sister!" ”

The old lady glanced at Zhuang Ying in surprise: "How do you know?" ”

Zhuang Jue said with a smile: "I went to see my sister with the second sister and the third sister, and the sister said it herself, and the third sister was also present." As he spoke, he smiled at Zhuang Ying, who despised him and pulled Zhuang Ying to smirk.

Only then did the old lady decide: "That's it, just rank in front of the three girls." ”

Hearing the old lady's decision, Cao Shi said in disgust next to Zhuang Lu: "Good life is lagging behind outsiders. ”

Zhuang Lu didn't care.

And in this way, the matter of Zhuo Yiting's ceremony and the change of name will be settled. Originally, this night, Zhuang Ying wanted to disperse Jinghua Xie to inform Zhuo Yiting that she liked it, but how did he know that before he stepped out, his mother had already pulled him down. The county lord said: "Knowing the son Mo Ruomu." Zhuang Jue had no choice but to give up, go back to Xifu and plunge into the study, writing all night, each piece of paper was full of the word "Qi", or with Ouyang Gong's slender and upright penmanship, or with Yan Gong's vigorous penmanship, or with the prince's vigorous penmanship, tirelessly.

How did Zhuo Yiting know that she had been named, and how did he know that Zhuang Jue had written this name all night.

It wasn't until the next morning, the old lady's girl, Mei'er, smiled and came to deliver breakfast, and Zhuo Yiting realized that she had come unusually, and she had doubts in her heart, how could she dare to ask more. When I ate breakfast, I was going to get up and loosen up, and suddenly I heard someone calling outside.

The person who called was the big girl Zhuang Hu's big girl called Daofeng. Sanxi went out and brought people into the house.

Behind the sword phoenix is a little girl, holding a jade plate in her hand, and a gift box is placed on the plate.

Dao Feng said happily: "I am Dao Feng in the eldest girl's room, and the girl should have seen me." Look, the eldest girl sent me a congratulatory gift, and the eldest girl said, I don't know if the girl likes it or not. Sanxi walked in and was very surprised. Dao Feng saw the puzzled expressions of Zhuo Yiting's master and servant, so he opened the box on the plate and saw a Ruyi jasper knife inside. Close the box again and hand it to Sanxi.

Dao Feng said: "The aunt's family gave the girl to play with, and it can also be used for self-defense." Miss He got a good name. ”

Zhuo Yiting and the three of them were even more puzzled, and they didn't ask in the end. After the gift was given, he didn't say much, he committed himself to a blessing and led the little girl back.
