It's said that when everyone saw Ping'er coming, they all said, "what's your grandma doing? Why don't you come?"Ping'er laughed and said, "He has time to come there."Because he said there was nothing good to eat raw and he couldn't come, so he asked me to ask if there was any more, and asked me to take some to eat at home.Xiangyun said: "Yes, there are many books."The busy man took ten huge ones.Ping'er said: "Bring more navels."They sat down with Ping'er again, but Ping'er refused.Li Wan pulled him and laughed, "I want you to sit."Pulling him to sit down, brought a glass of wine to his mouth.Ping'er hurriedly took a sip and was about to leave.Li Wan said, "You are not allowed to go."It is obvious that only Feng girl will not listen to me.Then he ordered the mothers: send the box first, and then say that I will keep Ping'er.The woman took the box and came back for a while and said: The second grandma said, tell grandma and the girls to stop joking and eat.In this box are the water chestnut cakes and chicken oil rolls sent by my uncle and wife just now, for grandma and girls to eat.Then he said to Ping'er, "If you tell me to come, you will be greedy and stubborn."I advise you to drink less.Ping'er laughed and said, "What will happen to me if I drink too much?"While talking, he just drinks and eats crabs.Li Wan hugged him and said with a smile: "It's a pity that such a decent person has an ordinary life and can only be ordered around the house."People who don't know, who don't regard you as a grandma and wife.

While eating and drinking with Baochai Xiangyun, Ping'er turned around and said with a smile: "Grandma, don't just touch me, it makes me itchy."Li said: "Ah!"What is this hard?Ping'er said: "The key."Li said: "What key?"The most important thing is that I am afraid that someone will steal my things, but I carry them with me.My family always talks and jokes with people, there is a Tang monk to learn scriptures, and there is a white horse to carry him; Liu Zhiyuan fights the world, there is a melon essence to give armor;You are the master key of your grandma, what do you need this key for?Ping'er said with a smile: "Grandma has eaten wine, and made fun of me again."Baochai laughed and said, "That's the truth."We have nothing to comment on people, you can't pick one out of a hundred, the beauty is that each has its own advantages.Li Wan said: "There is a reason for big and small."For example, in the old lady's house, how could it be done without that mandarin duck.Starting from the wife, the one who dared to refute the old lady's reply, now he dares to refute.The old lady only listened to him alone.Others don't remember the old lady's clothes, but he remembers them all. If he didn't take care of them, I don't know how many times they have been deceived.That child is also fair in heart, even though he is like this, he often speaks well for others, and he doesn't bully others according to his situation.Xichun laughed and said: The old lady said yesterday that he is stronger than us.Ping'er said, "That's a good one. We can compare with him there."Baoyu said, "Caixia in my wife's room is an honest person."Tanchun said: "No, I'm honest on the outside and know what's in my heart."The wife is so Buddha-like, he knows when she doesn't pay attention to things.He carried his wife along for everything.He even knows all the big and small things about the master going out at home.The wife forgot, he told her secretly.Li Wan said: "That's all."Pointing to Baoyu, he said, "If there were no attackers in this young man's house, what kind of land would you measure?"Feng girl is the overlord of Chu, and she also needs these two arms to lift a thousand catties.He is not this girl, so he has to be so thoughtful!Ping'er said with a smile: "At first I accompanied four girls, and they died and went away. I am the only one left alone."Li Wan said: "You are blessed."Feng girl is also lucky.I think back when your uncle Zhu was in Japan, there were never two of you.Do you think I am still that intolerant?I only see him two uncomfortable every day.So as soon as you, Master Zhu, are gone, I will dismiss you while I am young.If one can hold, I have an arm.As he spoke, he shed tears.Everyone said: why bother to be sad, it would be better to be separated.After talking, they all washed their hands, and everyone asked to go to Mrs. Jia Muwang to say hello.

All the women and girls cleaned the pavilion and cleared away the cups and dishes.Xiren and Ping'er went forward together, and asked Ping'er to sit in the room and have another cup of tea.Ping'er said: "Don't drink tea, let's come again."As he spoke, he wanted to go out.The attacker stopped again and asked: "This month's monthly money, even the old lady and the wife haven't given it away. Why?"Seeing the question, Ping'er hurriedly turned around and went to Xiren. Seeing that there was no one there, he said quietly: "Don't ask, anyway, I will let you go in a few days later."The attacker laughed and said, "Why is this, to scare you like this?"Ping'er told him quietly: "Our grandma has already paid for this month's monthly money, and it's been given to someone else."Wait until the interest money from other places is collected, and then let it go.I'm telling you because it's you, but you're not allowed to tell anyone.Xiren said: "Is he still short of money and not tired?"Why bother to worry about it.Ping'er laughed and said, "Why not?"Over the past few years, with this item of money, hundreds of dollars have been dug out.His monthly bills for public expenses were useless, so he saved up pieces and pieces and released them. He only paid for his own interest, less than a year, thousands of dollars.Xiren laughed and said, "Take our money, and your master and slave will make money, coaxing us to wait blankly."Ping'er said: "You said something heartless again."Are you still short of money?Xi Ren said: "Although I have many, but I have no place to use it, so I only prepare our one."Ping'er said: "If you need money for something important, I still have a few taels of silver. You can use it first, and I will withhold yours tomorrow."Xi Ren said: "I don't need it right now, I'm afraid it won't be enough for a while, so I'll just send someone to get it."

Ping'er agreed, and went out of the garden gate all the way to the house, only to see that Sister Feng was not in the room.Suddenly, Grandma Liu and Ban'er, who had come back to make money, came again. They were sitting in the room over there, accompanied by Zhou Rui's family from Zhang Cai's family, and two or three girls were emptying dates and pumpkins in their pockets on the ground. And some wild vegetables.When everyone saw him coming in, they all stood up hurriedly.Grandma Liu knew Ping'er's identity because she had been here last time, so she hurriedly jumped off the ground to say hello to the girl, and said, "Everyone from home sends hello."Miss Ann, who was going to invite my aunt earlier, came because the dealer was busy.It was so easy to get two stones more grain this year, and there were plenty of fruits and vegetables.The heads were picked off together, and I didn't dare to sell it. I kept the tip to honor my aunts and girls to taste.The girls are getting tired of eating delicacies from mountains and seas every day. This is a wild idea, which can be regarded as our poor heart.

Ping'er hurriedly said: "Thank you for your trouble."Let me sit again, and I sat down too.He asked Aunt Zhang and Aunt Zhou to sit down, and asked the little girl to pour tea.Zhou Rui, from Zhangcai's family, said with a smile: "The girl's face is a bit springy today, and the circles of her eyes are red."Ping'er smiled and said, "No."I didn't eat it at first, but the grandma and the girls just drank it for two minutes, and my face turned red.Zhang Cai's family said with a smile: I want to eat it, but no one will let me.If someone invites a girl tomorrow, take me there.Everyone laughed.Zhou Rui's family said: I saw that crab when I got up early, so I had to weigh two or three crabs per catty.These three big baskets probably weigh seventy or eighty catties.Zhou Rui's family said: "If it goes up and down, I'm afraid it's not enough."Ping'er said: "It's enough there, but it's all famous people who eat two pieces."Some of those scattered people can be touched, and some can't be touched.Grandma Liu said: "Crabs like this are worth five cents a catty this year."Ten catties and five qian, five five two two five, three five ten fifteen, and with wine and food, there are a total of more than twenty taels of silver.Amitabha!The money for this meal is enough for our dealers to live for a year.Ping'er asked: I think you have seen grandma?Grandma Liu said: "Yes, we have been told to wait."Then he looked out the window to look at the weather, and said: "It's getting fine sooner or later, let's go too, don't go out of the city is the famine."Zhou Rui's family said, "That's true. I'll take a look for you."After talking, he went all the way, came half a day later, and said with a smile: "But your old fortune has come, and you have chosen the fate of these two people."

When Ping'er asked how it was, Zhou Rui's family laughed and said, "Second Mistress is in front of the old lady."I originally told Second Grandma quietly that Grandma Liu wanted to go home, fearing that she might not be able to get out of the city if it was too late.The second grandma said: Dayuan, it’s hard for him to carry those heavy things. If it’s late, we’ll stay overnight and go tomorrow.This is not the fate of falling in love with the second mistress.That's all, the old lady Piansheng heard it again and asked who Grandma Liu was.The second grandma then understood.The old lady said: I was just thinking of talking to an old man with a long history, please come and see me.This is not unexpected fate.With that said, he urged Grandma Liu to come down and go.Grandma Liu said: "I don't look so good in this life."Good sister-in-law, just say that I have gone.Ping'er hurriedly said, "Go quickly, it's irrelevant."Our old ladies are the ones who cherish the old and the poor the most, and they are not as good as those crazy and cheating people.I think you are timid, and I will take you there with Aunt Zhou.Said, with Zhou Rui's family led grandma Liu to Jia Mu's side.

Seeing Ping'er coming out, the boys in the class at the second gate all stood up, and two more ran up, chasing Ping'er to call the girl.Ping'er asked: "What else?"The boy smiled and said: "It's too late now, my mother is sick, and I'm waiting for a doctor."Good girl, can I ask for a half-day off?Ping'er said: "It's good for you, it's all agreed, one day a day off, and don't go back to grandma, just hang out with me."The former son went to stay, and the second master called him unexpectedly, but he couldn't call him, so I got up and said that I had made love.You are here again today.Zhou Rui's family said: "It's true that his mother is ill, and the girl will take care of him, let him go."Ping'er said, "Come early tomorrow morning."Listen, I still want to make you come back again with your ass basking in the sun!When you go, bring a letter to Wang'er, tell grandma what he said, and ask him about the remaining interest.If you don't pay tomorrow, grandma won't want it either, so she will send him to do whatever she wants.The boy happily agreed to go.

Ping'er and others came to Jiamu's room. At that time, the sisters in the Grand View Garden were worshiping in front of Jiamu.When Grandma Liu went in, she saw that the house was surrounded by pearls and emerald greens, and all kinds of flowers were blooming, but she didn't know who it belonged to.I saw an old woman leaning on a couch, and behind her was a maidservant wrapped in gauze who was like a beauty, beating her legs, and Sister Feng was standing and talking and laughing.Grandma Liu knew it was Jia's mother, so she hurried up to laugh with her, blessed a few blessings, and said, "Good morning, old birthday star."Jia Mu also bowed to say hello, and ordered Zhou Rui's family to bring a chair and sit down.That board is still timid and doesn't know how to greet.Jia Mu said: "Old relative, how old are you this year?"Grandma Liu hurriedly stood up and replied: I am seventy-five this year.Jia Mu said to everyone, "You are still so healthy at such an old age."How many years older than me.I'm going to be so old, I don't know why I can't move.Grandma Liu said with a smile: We are born to suffer, and the old lady is born to enjoy happiness.If we do the same, there will be no one to do the crop work.Jia Mu said, "Are your eyes and teeth all right?"Grandma Liu said: "It's all good, it's just that the molar on the left has moved this year."Jia Mu said: "I'm old, I'm useless, my eyes are blurred, my ears are deaf, and my memory is gone."I don't even remember you old relatives.When my relatives came, I was afraid that people would laugh at me. I didn’t know how to do it, but I just chewed and ate a few bites, slept, and when I was bored, I had a joke with these grandchildren and grandchildren.

Grandma Liu said with a smile: This is the blessing of the old lady.We can't think so.Jia Mu said: "What a blessing, it's just an old trash."Everyone who said it laughed.Jia Mu laughed again and said, "I just heard Brother Feng say that you brought a lot of melons and vegetables and told him to pack them up quickly. I was just thinking of eating melons and vegetables picked from the field."The ones bought outside are not as delicious as the ones in your fields.Grandma Liu said with a smile: "This is a wild idea, but eat it fresh."We want to eat fish and meat, but we just can't afford it.Jia Mu said again, "since you recognize your relatives today, don't just go there in vain."Don't think I'm here, just stay for a day or two before going.We also have a garden, and there are fruits in the garden, you can taste it tomorrow, and bring some home, you can also count as a visit to relatives.Seeing that Jia Mu liked it, Sister Feng hurriedly stayed and said, "Although our place is not bigger than your yard, there are still two empty rooms."You can stay for two days and tell our old lady some news stories from your place.Jia Mu laughed and said, "Don't make fun of him, Feng girl."He is from the village, honestly, there is room for you to make fun of him.Then, he ordered people to grab the fruit and board to eat first.Ban'er saw too many people, but dared not eat it.Jia's mother ordered him to take some money, and asked the little ones to take him outside.After drinking tea, Grandma Liu told Jia Mu what she had seen and heard in the village, and Jia Mu became more and more interesting.Just as she was talking, Sister Feng sent someone to invite Grandma Liu to dinner.Jia Mu picked up some of her own dishes and ordered someone to send them over to eat with Grandma Liu.

Sister Feng knew that Jia Mu liked it, so she sent her back after dinner.Yuanyang hurriedly asked the old woman to take Grandma Liu to take a bath, and then she picked out two casual clothes for Grandma Liu to change into.Grandma Liu had seen such behavior there, so she hurriedly changed her clothes and came out, sat in front of Jiamu's couch, and searched for something to say.Baoyu's sisters were also sitting here at that time. They had never heard these words, and felt that they were better than those books written by Mr. Blind.Although Grandma Liu is a villager, she was born with some knowledge. Besides, she is old and experienced in the world. She was happy to see Jia Mu for the first time, and the second time she saw that these brothers and sisters all liked to listen, so she had nothing to say. Make up something to say.Yin said: We plant land and vegetables in our village. Every day, every day, in spring, summer, autumn and winter, in the wind and rain, there is a sitting space. Every day, we build a pavilion for resting horses on the head of the field. What is so strange? It's missing.Just like last winter, it snowed for several days in a row, and the ground was pressed three or four feet deep.I got up early that day, before I left the room, I only heard the sound of firewood outside.I thought someone must have stolen firewood.I climbed the window and took a look, but it was not from our village.Jia Mu said: "It must be that the passing guests are cold. Seeing the ready-made firewood, there is also some firewood to warm up."Grandma Liu said with a smile: "It's not a guest, so it's strange."Who is the old birthday star?It turned out to be a very beautiful little girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, with slick hair, wearing a big red coat and white silk skirt. Just as I was talking about this, I suddenly heard people outside shouting, and said: "It's irrelevant, don't worry about it." Fool the old lady.After hearing this, Jia's mother asked what was the matter, and the maid replied that the water had leaked from the stable in the south courtyard, which was irrelevant and had been rescued.Mother Jia was the most timid. After hearing this, she quickly got up and helped people out to the porch to have a look. She saw that the fire was still bright in the southeast.Jia Mu chanted Buddha in her mouth, and hurriedly ordered people to burn incense in front of the Vulcan.Mrs. Wang and so on came over to say hello, and said that she had already gone down, and the old lady, please go into the room.Jia Mu looked at the fire light and then led the people in.Baoyu was busy asking Grandma Liu, "Why does the girl smoke firewood in the heavy snow?"What if you get sick from the cold?Jia Mu said: "It's just that smoking firewood caused a fire, and you still ask."Stop talking about this and talk about something else.Baoyu heard that although he was unhappy in his heart, he had no choice but to let it go.Grandma Liu thought about it again, and said: "There is an old woman in the east of our Zhuangzi, who is over ninety years old this year."He ate fast and recited Buddha's name every day, but he moved Guanyin Bodhisattva to come to dream at night and said: You are so devout, so you should be the last one, but now you play the Jade Emperor and give you a grandson.It turned out that the old lady had only one son, and this son had only one son, and she managed to raise her until she was seventeen or eighteen and died, crying like something.Later, she raised another one, who was only thirteen or fourteen years old this year, and she was born like a snow ball, very smart.It can be seen that these gods and Buddhas exist.This evening's words really fit Mrs. Jia's mother's mind, and even Mrs. Wang listened.

Baoyu only remembers the story of drawing firewood in his heart, because he is stuffy in his heart planning.Because Tanchun asked him that he disturbed Sister Shi yesterday, let's go back and discuss inviting a society, and we returned the banquet, and invited the old lady to enjoy the chrysanthemums, how about that?Baoyu said with a smile: "The old lady said that she would also serve Sister Shi's table with wine, and asked us to accompany her."Waiting to eat the old lady's, let's invite you later.Tanchun said: "The further you go, the colder it gets. The old lady may not be happy."Baoyu said: "The old lady likes rain and snow again."How about we wait for the first snow and invite the old lady to enjoy the snow?It is even more interesting for us to chant poems under the snow.Lin Daiyu hurriedly laughed and said, "Shall we chant poems under the snow?"In my opinion, it would be more interesting to get a bundle of firewood and pull firewood under the snow.Saying that, Baochai and others all laughed.Baoyu glanced at him and didn't answer. After a while, Baoyu pulled Grandma Liu behind her back and asked who the girl was.Grandma Liu had no choice but to make up and tell him: It was originally offered in a small ancestral hall on the ridge along the north side of our village. It wasn't a god or Buddha.Talking and thinking of names.Baoyu said: "You don't care about your name or surname, you don't have to think about it, just talk about the reason."Grandma Liu said: "This master has no sons, only a young lady named Mingyu."Miss is literate, master and wife are like treasures.It's a pity that Miss Mingyu died of illness when she was born at the age of seventeen.When Baoyu heard this, he fell down and sighed, and asked what happened next.Grandma Liu said: "Because the old man and his wife missed him so much, they built this ancestral hall, made a statue of Miss Mingyu, and sent people to burn incense and stir the fire."Now, after a long period of time, people are gone, and the temple is rotten, and the image has become a spirit.Baoyu hurriedly said: "It's not that you become a fine man. According to the rules, people like this will never die."Grandma Liu said: Amitabha!I see.It's not that my brother said, we all treat him as a genius.He often changed his person and came out to wander around the shop roads in various villages.I just said that he was the one who smoked the firewood.The people in our village are still discussing to knock down the statue and level the temple.Baoyu hurriedly said, "Don't do that."If the temple is leveled, the crime is not small.Grandma Liu said: "Fortunately, brother told me, I'll just go back and tell them tomorrow."Baoyu said: "Our old ladies and wives are all good people, and the whole family is also fond of giving, and loves building temples and sculpting gods most."Tomorrow I will be a scumbag, and I will make some donations for you, and you will be an incense head, and save money to build this temple, and then decorate the statues, wouldn't it be good to give you incense money every month to burn incense?Grandma Liu said: "If this is the case, I will have some money thanks to that young lady."Baoyu asked him the name of the place, the name of the village, the distance he traveled, and where he was located.Grandma Liu then made nonsense. Believing it was true, Baoyu went back to his room and spent the night thinking about it.Early the next morning, he came out and gave Mingyan a few hundred dollars. According to the direction and place names that Grandma Liu had said, he went with Mingyan to take a look first, and then make up his mind when he came back.After Mingyan left, Baoyu didn't come when he waited left or right, like ants on a hot pot in a hurry.It was so easy to wait until the sunset to see Mingyan come back happily.Baoyu hurriedly said, "Is there a temple?"Mingyan smiled and said, "I don't understand what you heard, please tell me to find it easily."The location of the place is not as the master said, so after searching for a day, I found a ruined temple on the ridge of Shangtian in the northeast.When Baoyu heard about it, he beamed with joy and said hurriedly: "Grandma Liu is an old person, and sometimes she made a mistake in remembering it for a while."You say you saw it.Mingyan said, "The temple gate opens to the south, and it's also sparsely broken."I was annoyed when I was looking for it. When I saw this, I said it was all right, and hurried in.When I saw the mud tires, I ran out out of fear, as if they were real.Baoyu smiled happily: "He can change people, so he is naturally a little angry."Mingyan clapped her hands and said: What kind of girl is there? It's actually a blue-faced and red-haired God of Plague.When Baoyu heard this, he spat and scolded, "What a useless killer!"Can't even do that.Mingyan said: Second Lord, I don't know what books I read, or whoever told me that, I believe it, and sent me to meet this stupid matter, how can I say I'm useless?Seeing that he was in a hurry, Baoyu comforted him and said, "Don't worry."You can find it another day when you are free.If he coaxed us, it would be gone. If there were, wouldn't you have accumulated a lot of evil.I will reward you heavily.Just as I was talking, I saw the boy on the second door say: the girls in the old lady's room are standing at the second door looking for the second master.
