The pane portal is taken off together, and all kinds of palace lamps are hung with colored spikes. The corridor eaves inside and outside and the verandah canopy on both sides, will be all kinds of sheep's horns, glass, poke yarn, filament, or embroidery, or painting, or pile, or pick, or silk, or paper lamps are hung full.

Mrs. Chen also sent people to invite the men and women of the clan, but some of them were old and lazy, or there was no one in the family who was inconvenient to come, or they were sick and couldn't come, or they were jealous of the rich and the poor, and even some were afraid of Xiao Xiangzi's people and couldn't come, or some were ashamed and not used to seeing people, so they didn't dare to come: so although there were many people in the clan, the female guests came only because Lou Shi, the mother of Chen Fu, brought Chen Fu, and the men only Chen Qin, Chen Yun, Chen Yi, and Chen Ling came to work under Xiaoxiangzi. When Lin Zhixiao's wife brought six daughters-in-law and carried three kang tables, each with a red felt, on which there was a copper coin that selected the general Daxin out, strung with a big red color rope, and each two of them put one for a total of three. Lin Zhixiao's instructions put the two under Aunt Xue's Aunt Li's seat, and sent one to Mrs. Chen's bed.

Mrs. Chen said, "Put it in the local area." The daughters-in-law all know the rules, put down the table, open the money, take away the colored ropes, and scatter them on the table. After finishing speaking, Mrs. Chen and the others laughed, and Aunt Xue and the others all said, "What a ghost child, pitiful." Xiao Xiangzi said, "This child is only nine years old," and Mrs. Chen laughed and said, "It's hard for him to say it." Three daughters-in-law had already prepared a dustpan, and they heard a wife of a rewarding family rewarding Wenbao to buy fruit to eat!" As he spoke, he threw it on the stage, only to hear the sound of money on the stage.

But it was said that Chen Zhen and Chen Lian were secretly preparing to put down a big dustpan of money, and when they heard Mrs. Chen say "reward", they were also busy ordering the little servants to scatter the money quickly.

The two of them got up, and the little servants hurriedly held a new warm silver pot in Chen Lian's hand, and followed Chen Zhen to the inside. Chen Zhen waited until Mrs. Chen's bed, and because the couch was short, the two of them knelt on their knees.

Chen Zhen was holding the cup first, and Chen Lian was holding the pot later. Although the two of them served wine, Brother Chen Huan and the others were also in order, and they followed the two of them in, and when they saw the two of them kneeling, they also knelt down. Chen Zhen smiled and said, "How are the sisters?" Mrs. Chen and the others said, "You go, they are cheaper." "Having said that, Chen Zhen and the others withdrew.

At the moment when the sky is not the second drum, the play is the "Eight Meanings" in the "Watching the Lantern" eight plays. Yin Zhen replied: "Don't go far, just go out and come." So Yinzhen came out, only Musk Yueqiu and a few little girls followed. Mrs. Chen said, "Why don't you see the attacker?" Mrs. Wang hurriedly got up and replied with a smile: "His mother was gone the day before yesterday, because of his filial piety, it is inconvenient to come forward." Mrs. Chen nodded when she heard this, and said with a smile: "I can't tell my master about this filial piety or unfilial piety. ”

Xiao Xiangzi hurriedly came over and replied with a smile: "He has no filial piety tonight, and he must watch the garden, and the lights, candles, and fireworks are the most dangerous. If we are scattered and ready, we will not worry about it here, and we can fulfill his courtesy, wouldn't it be beneficial in three places. When Mrs. Chen heard this, she hurriedly said, "You are very thoughtful than I thought, don't call him soon. Xiao Xiangzi said with a smile: "I attacked someone to go back to the old lady in person, why did I forget." Mrs. Chen thought for a moment and smiled and said, "I remember, my memory is normal." Everyone laughed and said, "The old lady remembers these things." ”

Mrs. Chen sighed again: "I thought, he served me once since I was a child, and then served Yun'er again, and finally gave a demon king Yinzhen, who has been a demon for several years. Xiao Xiangzi said: "Mrs. Qian'er rewarded him with forty taels of silver, that is." When Mrs. Chen heard this, she nodded and said, "It's okay, it just so happens that Mandarin Duck's mother is also dead, I think his old son and mother are in the south, and I didn't ask his family to go to walk and keep filial piety, but now I call him two to be a companion." Amber smiled and said, "Wait for this, he will already go." As he spoke, everyone ate and drank and watched the play again.

Let's say that Yinzhen came to the garden all the way, and when the mothers-in-law saw him go back to the room, they didn't follow, but only sat in the tea room at the gate of the garden to roast the fire, and the woman in charge of the tea secretly drank and fought with the woman. So everyone tiptoed into the mirror wall to take a look, only to see that the attacker and one person were both crooked on the kang opposite, and there were two or three old women napping at that end.
