Dry Dream

Italy!May all go well with you!May you be happy and prosperous! "

"Wow──" The people at the entrance of the village exploded at once, looting desperately, even Qu'er, who was holding a bamboo pole to pick up firecrackers, threw the bamboo pole away and rushed to grab the windfall.The villagers who were far away and the villagers passing by saw the gold and silver treasures scattered in the sky here, so they all ran here.

Taking advantage of the breath that was still hanging in the air, I scattered a few more, and then just landed on the back of the horse that Ziluo was driving over.This seems to be a rumor, saying that a boy who spreads money cannot land.By the way, a money-spreading boy like me seems a bit too old.

Ziluo also told me yesterday that after my birthday on March 23, I will crown me, and then I will be able to recruit soldiers and buy horses in a legitimate way.The vacated other courtyard in Fen'an County can be used just right.He is thoughtful.

Ziluo hugged me again and stopped Tafeng, and the gift-carrying guards who followed also stopped their horses one after another, looking at the more and more villagers who gathered in front of them and scrambled together.The Yexing couple, the eldest brother and other family members have already withdrawn from the battle group, probably because they don't want to compete with the villagers for this small fortune.Only Jiang Ruilan and Hong'er were still huddling around in the crowd desperately trying to grab them.

Jiang Ruilan is a natural lover of money, as for Hong'er, it's because Liu'er is too weak, so she wants to accumulate more money to support Liu'er's health.Although Liu'er's child was saved, he could only lie on the bed to raise the baby now.Although I don't blame me for this incident, I still feel a little bit sorry.

When there was no more gold and silver carpenter found on the ground, all the people smiled happily and retreated to both sides, shouting auspicious words of New Year's greetings.Ziluo responded with a smile, and as soon as he clamped the horse's belly, Tafeng walked slowly towards the village like shopping.

Jiang Ruilan picked up the bamboo pole with a hearty laugh, and yelled New Year's greetings.The elder brother hung up another firecracker, and then it crackled.With snowflakes all over her face, Hong'er walked up to Qu'er with a smile on her face, and gave Qu'er a handful of the gold and silver lockets she had snatched.Qu'er smiled and pushed back, and gave Hong'er the few gold and silver locks she had snatched, saying they would be used for her cousin's support.

Hong'er still smiled, scratched his head, wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, and then rushed forward to hug Qu'er.Qu'er patted Hong'er's vest, then pushed Hong'er away with a smile, and punched Hong'er's shoulder twice.The eldest brother shook his head and smiled at their brothers, Huamei Lianzhi and the others also looked at them and covered their mouths and laughed.The warm and touching scene of the family fell in my eyes and was engraved in my heart.

Ziluo's eyes were warm, and she whispered that she envied me for having such a family.I grabbed Ziluo's big hand and said that now they are also his family.Regardless of the many people around, Ziluo kissed me lightly on the cheek, and the soldier opened his arms without warning,

After that, there was a burst of applause and congratulations.

Of course, people can't send auspicious words in vain, and I have to give away a few more gold and silver locks.

There was a chaotic sound of horseshoes from behind, Yexing Hanzhen and his elder brother rode up to catch up, Hong'er brother, Huamei and other servants only followed behind slowly.

As soon as Jiang Ruilan came up, she took advantage of Ziluo's kissing me just now and made fun of it loudly. I knew he couldn't keep his peace, and threatened that if he was dishonest again, he would lose his share of the New Year's gift.Jiang Ruilan immediately shut up when she heard this, and looked at me with a flattering smile, not daring to speak nonsense again.

This bad boy, why didn't he find out that he was so unscrupulous before?What a mistake.

206. Serving tea to treat guests

Post time: 08/052010

Talking and laughing to the door.The red-faced mother, who was dressed in a pink cotton robe embroidered with palace satin and a fur cloak, led a group of servants with her sister-in-law's brother and nephew, and Kong Qiao, the head of the guards, greeted her at the door.Ziluo and I jumped off the horse in a hurry to pay New Year's greetings to my mother.Everyone got off their horses and gathered around to greet each other.Mother was so happy that she closed her mouth from ear to ear, she took Yexing and me by the hand, and greeted Ziluo, and the whole family walked into the house chatting and laughing lively.

Seeing us entering the gate, the boy at the door picked up the bamboo pole and set off firecrackers.Another little girl held a big red box and sprinkled candies wrapped in red paper into the crowd of children watching.The servants followed those who should go to work after entering the door, leaving behind a few waiters who ran to the entrance of the hall and raised the thick cotton curtain.All of us juniors surrounded my mother and entered the hall through the bluestone road sprinkled with brilliant sunlight.

As soon as you entered the hall door, a hot air with a strong sandalwood fragrance came to your face.There were many people sitting in the hall, and when they saw a large number of us coming in, they all stood up with smiles on their faces.The servants stepped forward to take off our fur coats and hats, and Ziluo and I straightened our skirts and went forward to salute Dad.Dad smiled and asked us to excuse us, and then began to greet everyone in the house one by one.

This year's Chinese New Year at home is much more lively than in previous years. I don't know if it's because the emperor bestowed a marriage, and my family is married to the royal family.Most of the relatives who stopped visiting my family when they were in distress came, and even if they couldn't come, they would send their closest children to visit for New Year's greetings.I remember that on the day we got married, there were not so many relatives at home.I'm afraid that he deliberately came to the door when he was returning, just to show his face in front of Ziluo.

Master Yuan also came, although there was a smile on his face, his expression was sad.I think it was because Master Yuan's father killed the second senior brother and felt uncomfortable.Uncle Jiang Bochang was also there, as well as two close uncles of my father's former court.

Only my uncle's house did not come.I think our family and uncle's family will no longer communicate with each other in the future.

Saluting to an unfamiliar scholar, I saw that this man had a kind face, black hair and black beard, neither fat nor thin, wearing a khaki Confucian shirt, but he didn't know who it was.

I raised my eyebrows strangely, and turned to look at Dad.Daddy stroked his white beard with his hands and said with a chuckle, "He is Mr. Meng Zi's second son, Mr. Meng Xin."

"Oh - I met Mr. Meng Xin." I suddenly realized that I bowed my hands and said, "I wonder if Mr. Meng Zi is okay?"

Meng Xin forced a smile, bowed her hands and said back: "My father passed away half a year ago."

"Ah?" I was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Why did it suddenly..."

Meng Xin lowered her eyes and said sadly: "My father is old and travels around all the year round, so this is really a calamity."

"My condolences, sir," Ziluo interjected, cupping his hands, "Today is the day of the new year, so please let go of your sorrow for the deceased."

Hearing what Ziluo said, Meng Xin hastily saluted and said, "My lord's lesson is that the villain is taking liberties."

"Hey, why did you say the word 'lesson'? Mr. has already said it, hehe, please sit down." Ziluo said haha, asked Meng Xin to sit down, and then pulled me back to sit down.

Seeing that we sat down, everyone took their seats.Two servant girls served hot tea, and Ziluo and I went forward to serve tea to our parents.The mother's eyes were moist, and she smiled happily. She took a sip from the tea bowl, and then gave each of them a red envelope.Father and mother are equally happy, but the excitement and relief in their eyes are all directed at Ziluo.Can't help feeling a little disappointed.It seems that my father is destined not to have much love for me.

In Dad's heart, the most beloved child will always be the second brother, even if the second brother is no longer alive.

Or maybe it's because my mother loves me so much that my father doesn't like me?

Ziluo seemed to realize that I was absent-minded, and gently held my hand, I smiled back to my senses, followed Ziluo back to the side and sat down.

After sitting down, Ziluo took out the gift card and presented it, the maid took it and presented it to the father, the father and mother read it separately, then put away the gift card, and with red faces invited everyone to go to the Xiangrong hall of the side courtyard to taste tea and listen to the opera.

I don't really like tea, and I don't know how to drink tea.Seeing that all the relatives came here for Ziluo, I was too annoyed, so I simply ran away on the pretext of visiting Liu'er.

Most people who know me know that I don't like to socialize. If I sit here and talk nonsense with them, it is better to let me read the Four Books and Five Classics.Ziluo knew better, so she didn't force me, and let me go happily.I think he should be at home in this situation.

Ye Xing and Qu Er Hong Er left with me.Ye Xing also hates this kind of occasion, and Qu'er wants to follow me and serve.

Hong'er led the way, and we left the side courtyard and entered the inner courtyard, all the way to the small courtyard where Hong'er and Liu'er lived.I have been to this courtyard twice, but never entered.

When he came to the front of the main room, Hong'er stepped forward and raised the cotton curtain, and called out to the girls in the room that the third master was here.I stopped in my tracks, turned my head and said, "Why do you still call me Third Master, it's time to call me Third Brother."

Hong'er was taken aback for a moment, then moved his lips a few times in surprise, but he couldn't cry out.

I shook my head, that's all he could do.

Entering the house, the two little girls hurriedly asked An Duan tea.I ignored it, turned around and walked to the back room.Qu'er caught up and lifted the curtain, I stepped into the room, and saw Liu'er, who was wearing a light red scarf and looked weak and sick, was about to stay on the bed and salute with the support of her mother-in-law.

Frowning, he hurriedly stepped forward to support Liu'er and said: "Your body is like this, it's not easy to lie down, what are you doing climbing up and down."

Liu'er tremblingly raised her face to look at the left side of my face when she heard the words, her originally crystal almond eyes were now red, swollen and pear blossoms with tears.The woman and I helped Liu'er back to the couch, and put a quilt on the soft brocade quilt.But I saw Liu'er looked at my left face and straightened her eyes without blinking, she seemed to be dumbfounded.

The mother-in-law covered her mouth and snickered, then bowed and retreated.I turned around and sat on the edge of the couch, letting Liu Er see enough.I knew Liu Er's thoughts after she married Yao Jun that year, and she reminded me herself.This time, I almost had a miscarriage because of seeing the left side of my face. I'm afraid it's because of the thoughts buried in my heart.

Suddenly, two teardrops rolled down from Liu'er's eyes, she stretched out her hand to gently touch my left cheek, and said with a choked voice, "Third Master, your face is healed."

I smiled slightly and said: "You still call me the third master, you should call me the third brother.
