It is said that You Shi got angry from Xichun and was about to go to Mrs. Wang.The old nuns who followed quietly replied: "Grandma, don't go to the room."Only a few people from Zhen's family came, and there were some things. I don't know if they were doing something confidential.It may be inconvenient for grandma to go.After hearing this, Mrs. You said: "Yesterday I heard from your master that the Zhen family had committed a crime in the mansion report. Now they have confiscated all their belongings and transferred them to Beijing for punishment."Why is someone here again?The old mother said: "Exactly."Only a few women came here, their complexions were dull and flustered, there must be something to hide, and there must be.

After hearing this, Mrs. You didn't go forward, but still came to Mrs. Li.It just so happened that the imperial physician took a pulse.Li Wan also felt a little refreshed recently, sitting on the bed with her quilt leaning against the pillow, just about to have some gossip with one or two of them.Seeing Youshi coming in, he was not as amiable as before, and just sat there blankly.Li Wanyin asked: "You have been here for half a day, but have you eaten in the other room?"I'm afraid I'm hungry.Ming Suyun saw some fresh snacks and picked them up.Youshi hurriedly stopped and said: No, no.You have always been sick, there is something new there.And I'm not hungry either.Li Wan said: "You can drink the good tea from his aunt's family yesterday. You can drink it from the right bowl."After finishing speaking, he ordered people to make tea.

Youshi was lost in thought.The girls and daughters-in-law who came with me asked, "Grandma hasn't washed her face at noon today, so why don't you wash it off now?"You Shi nodded.Li Wan hurriedly ordered Suyun to fetch his dowry.While fetching it, Suyun brought her rouge powder at the same time, and said with a smile: "Our grandma only lacks this."Grandma is not too dirty, this is mine, it can be used.Li Wan said, "Although I don't have one, you should get it from the girls."Why openly show yours?Fortunately, it's her, if it's someone else, wouldn't it be annoying!You Shi laughed and said, "What's the matter?"Since I came here, who hasn't used it, and today I suddenly think it's dirty again?While speaking, he sat cross-legged on the edge of the Kang.Yindie came up and hurriedly took off the bracelets and rings for her, and covered the bottom with a large burden of handkerchiefs to protect her clothes tightly.The little maid, Chaodou'er, took a large basin of warm water, walked up to Youshi, and bent over to hold it.Li Wan said: "Why are you so unruly?"Yindie laughed and said: "Everything that has no chance to change, a gourd is a ladle."Grandma just treats us more leniently, no matter what at home, you will be happy!No matter you go out at home, you just follow along in front of your relatives.Youshi said: "You just let her go, wash anyway and it's over."Chaodouer hurriedly knelt down.You Shi laughed and said: "People of all sizes in our family can only talk about fake etiquette and decency on the outside, but after all, everything we do is enough.Hearing this, Li Wan knew that she already knew what happened last night, and said with a smile: "You have a reason for what you said. Who can do enough?"Youshi said: "You ask me, how dare you pass the time of illness!"

Without saying a word, people reported: Miss Bao is here.When Li Wan hurriedly said please come, Baochai had already walked in.Youshi hurriedly wiped his face and got up to give up his seat, because he asked: Why did a person come suddenly, why did the other sisters not see?Baochai said, "Exactly. I didn't see them either."It's just because our grandma is not feeling well today, and the two women in the family are not getting out of the kang due to seasonal illness, and nothing else can be relied on. Today, I will go out to accompany the old man at night.I don't think it's a big deal to go back to the old lady. I don't need to mention it. After waiting, I came in anyway, so I came to tell my sister-in-law.When Li Wan heard about it, he only looked at Youshi and smiled.You Shi only looked at Li Wan and smiled.

For a while, Youshi had finished washing and bathing, and everyone had noodle tea.Li Wan laughed and said, "In that case, let's send someone to ask my aunt what's wrong."I'm sick too, so I can't come in person.Good sister, just go, I will send someone to your house to see the house.Anyway, if you stay for a day or two and still come in, don't call me a loser.Baochai laughed and said, "Why not?"This is also common sense, and you have never betrayed the thief.According to my idea, there is no need to send someone over to invite Yun girl here. Wouldn't it be easy for you to stay with her for a day or two.You Shi said: But, where did Sister Shi go?Baochai said: "I just sent them to find you to visit the girl and asked her to come here with me. I also told her clearly."

Just as he was talking, it was reported: Miss Yun and Miss San are here.After everyone gave up their seats, Baochai said that he was going out, and Tanchun said, "Very good."Not only did my aunt come back when she got well, but she also made it happen if she didn't come back when she got better.You Shi laughed and said, "That's strange. Why did you kick out your relatives?"Tanchun sneered and said, "Exactly. If there are people who want to be kicked out, why don't I kick them out first."Hello relatives, it is not necessary to live dead.We are a family of flesh and blood, each one is not like a black-eyed chicken, I wish you could eat me and I would eat you!You Shi hurriedly laughed and said: "Where did I come from today? I'm so unlucky, but I'm so angry with your sisters!"Tanchun said: "Who told you to hurry up to the hot stove!"Because he asked, "Who offended you again?"Because he thought about it again: "The fourth girl doesn't offend you, but who is it?"You Shi only vaguely agreed.

Tanchun knew that she was afraid of things, so she didn't want to talk too much, so she said with a smile: "Don't pretend to be honest."Except for the punishment by the court, there is no beheading, so you don't have to be afraid of the head and the tail.Let me tell you the truth, I beat the old lady of Wang Shanbao's family yesterday, and I still bear the guilt.But if she gossiped about me behind my back, wouldn't she still beat me up!Baochai hurriedly asked, "Why did you beat her again?"Tan Chunxi told how she was copied last night and how she was beaten.Seeing that Tanchun had already spoken out, You Shi also told about Xichun's talents.Tanchun said: This is her withdrawn nature, she is too withdrawn, we can't twist her anymore.He also told them: "There was no movement early this morning, and I found out that Feng Lazi was ill again."So I sent my nanny out to find out what happened to Wang Shanbao's family.When she came back, she told me: Wang Shanbao's family was beaten, and the eldest wife was angry at her for being troublesome.You Shi and Li Wan said: "This is also the truth."Tanchun sneered, "Who wouldn't do this kind of cover-up!"And look no further.Both You Shi and Li Wan were silent and had no answer.For a while, it was no problem for Xiangyun and Baochai to go back to their room to pack their clothes in anticipation of the meal ahead.

Youshi and others resigned from Li Wan and came to Jiamu's side.Jia's mother was lying on the couch. Mrs. Wang said why the Zhen family was convicted, and now they have confiscated their property and returned to Beijing for punishment.When Jia Mu heard this, she was feeling uncomfortable. She happened to see her sister coming, and asked, "Where did they come from?"Do you know how Sister Feng's sister-in-law is sick today?You Shi waited hurriedly to reply, "Today is better."Jia Mu nodded and sighed, "Let's not bother with other people's affairs, and discuss that it is serious for us to enjoy the moon on August 15th."Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "It's all ready."I don't know where the old lady should choose, but I'm afraid it will be cold at night in the garden.Jia Mu laughed and said, "Why don't you wear two more clothes? That's where you can enjoy the moon. How can you not go there?"

While talking, daughters-in-law and maidservants had already brought over the dining table, Mrs. Wang, Youshi and others hurriedly came up to put chopsticks and hold meals.When Jia's mother saw that her own dishes had been put out, and there were two more boxes filled with several kinds of dishes, she knew that it was the old custom of filial piety in each room.Jia Muyin asked: "What are they?"I've told you a few times before, now you can get rid of them, but you still haven't listened.Now is incomparable to the time of previous convergence!Yuanyang hurriedly said, "I've said it several times, but I didn't listen to it. That's all."Mrs. Wang said with a smile: But they are all household things.Today I am fasting and nothing else.The old lady doesn't like gluten and tofu very much, so she only picked a pure chili oil sauce.Jia Mu said with a smile, "it's just right. I'm thinking of eating this."When Yuanyang heard about it, she moved the plate in front of her.Baoqin gave way one by one, and Fang Gui sat down.Then Jia Mu ordered Tanchun to eat together.Tanchun also let go, and sat down opposite Baoqin.Waiting for the book to get a bowl.Yuanyang pointed to those dishes again: "These two don't know what they are, they were brought by the old man."This bowl is chicken marrow bamboo shoots, which was brought up by the master outside.While speaking, he just brought this bowl of bamboo shoots to the table.Jia Mu tasted a little bit, and ordered: "Send those two things back, and say I ate them."In the future, there is no need to send it every day. I want to eat naturally.The daughter-in-laws agreed, and still sent them over, no problem.

Jia Muyin asked, "Is there any porridge to eat?"Youshi brought a bowl earlier, saying it was red rice porridge.Jiamu took it and ate half a bowl, and then ordered: "Give this porridge to Brother Feng to eat, and point to this bowl of bamboo shoots and this plate of pickled civet cats for Shao'er and Baoyu to eat. Give Lan a bowl of meat to eat.He said to Youshi again, "I ate it, so you can eat it."Youshi promised that after Jia Mu washed her mouth and washed her hands, Jia Mu would go to the ground and gossip with Mrs. Wang while eating.You Shi told me to sit down.Tanchun and Baoqin also got up, and said with a smile: Excuse me, excuse me!You Shi smiled and said: I am alone, I am not used to eating in a row of tables.Jia Mu said with a smile: "Mandarin ducks and amber come to take advantage of the situation and eat some, and they are also accompanying guests."Youshi smiled and said: "Okay, okay, okay, I'm about to say it."Jia Mu laughed and said, "It's the most interesting thing to watch a lot of people eat."Pointing to Yindie again, he said: "This child is also good, come and eat with your master. When you leave me, make a rule."Youshi said: "Come here quickly, don't pretend."Mother Jia watched with her hands behind her back for fun.Seeing that the waiter was holding a bowl of rice for servants, and Youshi was still eating white rice, Jia's mother asked, "Why are you so faint? Serve this rice for your grandma?"The man said: The old lady has finished her meal.A girl was added today, so it is shorter.Yuanyang said: "Nowadays you can wear your head to make a hat, and you can't have a little extra."Mrs. Wang hurriedly replied: "Drought and flood in the past two years are uncertain, and the rice on the field cannot be paid according to the number."These kinds of fine rice are more difficult, so you can eat as much as you want, fearing that it will be short for a while, and the purchase will not be smooth.Jia Mu laughed and said, "It's just that Qiao's daughter-in-law can't make porridge without rice."Everyone laughed.Yuanyang said: "Since that's the case, it's the same to go and bring the third girl's food to top it up. It's just so stupid."Youshi smiled and said: "This is enough for me, and I don't need to take it away."Yuanyang said: You are enough, I don't know how to eat?When the daughters-in-law in the underground heard about it, Fang hurriedly took it away.For a while, Mrs. Wang also went to eat.

Here Youshi talks and makes fun of Jia Mu.When it was time to watch, Jia's mother said, "It's dark, let's go."You Shifang said goodbye.Walking to the gate and getting on the car, Yindie sat on the side of the car.When the daughters-in-law put down the curtain, they took the little girls and went first, and waited at the gate over there.Because the gates of the two mansions are not separated by a stone's throw, it is not necessary to be well-prepared for daily family visits. Besides, there are more people who come back in the dark and at night, so the old mother and the little girl are only a few steps away. come over.The people on the gates on both sides have all reached the East and West Streets, blocking pedestrians early.Youshi's cart didn't use animals either, it only used seven or eight young servants to pull the wheels, and gently push and pull them across the steps to come up.So all the servants backed away from the lion, all the mothers opened the curtain, Yindie came down first, and then helped Youshi down.Seven or eight lanterns, big and small, illuminated very vividly.Youshi saw four or five large carts under the lions on both sides, so he knew that they were being ridden by people who came to gamble, so he said to Yindie and the crowd: "Look, these are the carts, and I don't know how many are riding horses!"The horse is naturally tied in the pen, we can't see it.I don't know how much money his mother earns to be so happy with them!On the one hand, on the other hand, he has arrived in the hall.Jia Rong's wife led the family's daughters-in-law and girls, and they all came out with candles.Youshi said with a smile: "It's not convenient for me to sneak a look at them all day long."It's a coincidence today, so I just knocked on their window and walked over.The daughters-in-law agreed, and led the way with a lamp, and there was another servant who went first to quietly inform the servants, so as not to be surprised.So Youshi and his party quietly came to the window, only listening to praises and praises from inside. Although there were many jokes, there were also many voices of hatred, scolding, and resentment. It turns out that because Jia Zhen is in mourning, she can't play in the open and bright, and can't watch and listen to music.Boring to the extreme, a method was born to break the boredom.During the day, on the grounds of practicing archery, I invited brothers from various families and rich relatives and friends to compete in archery.Because he said: just shoot randomly for nothing, it will be of no benefit in the end, not only can't make progress, but also break the style, you must make a penalty contract and bet on a profit, so that everyone will work hard.Therefore, a scorpion was set up in the arrow path downstairs of Tianxiang Tower, and they all agreed to shoot the scorpion after breakfast every day.Jia Zhen refused to be famous, so she ordered Jia Rong to be a bureaucrat.These are all hereditary sons, all of them have rich families, and they are all young. They are just a bunch of wandering hakamas who ask Liu Pinghua for cockfighting and lackeys.Therefore, everyone agreed to take turns to be the host of dinner every day, and to shoot every day, so as not to disturb Jia Rong alone.So he slaughtered pigs and sheep every day, slaughtered geese and ducks, just like fighting treasures in Lintong, he had to show off his good cooks and cookers. In less than half a month, when Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng heard this, they didn't know what to say. Instead, they said that this is the right way. Since the text is wrong, martial arts should also be learned. The situation is Wu Yin's.The two places also ordered Jia Huan, Jia Cong, Baoyu and Jia Lan to come over after dinner and practice shooting with Jia Zhen before they promised to go back. Jia Zhen's ambition is not here. After one or two days, she will gradually use the excuse of resting her arms to support her strength. At night, she may wipe the dominoes and gamble on a drinker, and then gradually turn to money.Now in March and April, betting is better than shooting day by day, openly throwing dice with bucket leaves, starting with the head, and gambling all night.The members of the family took advantage of this to gain something, and they wished so much, so they became powerful.Outsiders don't know a word.Recently Mrs. Xing's younger brother, Xing Dequan, also liked this, so he was among them.And Xue Pan, the first one who likes to give money to others, wouldn't he be happy to see this.Although this Xing Dequan is Mrs. Xing's younger brother, he behaves with his own heart, which is very different. He only knows how to drink and gamble, sleeps with flowers and willows for pleasure, spends money in his hands, and treats others with no two hearts. If you don't get close to him, no matter whether you are master or servant, they all come from one mind, and there is no distinction between high and low, so they call him silly uncle.Xue Pan has long been known as the dumb uncle.Today, the two of them got together and both loved to grab new snacks, so they met another two to grab new snacks on the outer kang.There are several other companies playing on the local underground table.In the middle, they were more gentle together, wiping dominoes and playing Tianjiu. The servants serving here are all children under the age of fifteen, if they are full-grown men, they cannot come here, so Youshi sneaked out of the window to peek.Among them were two sixteen or seventeen-year-old child molesters who were serving wine, and they were all dressed up in pink makeup.Today Xue Pan lost another card, he was not in a good mood, but fortunately he finished flipping the second card, after all, besides flipping it over, he won instead, and he just got excited.Jia Zhen said: "Stop it, come back after eating."Because asked: What about those two places?Those who played Tianjiu inside also set up tents and waited for dinner.What kind of food is not clear, and he refuses to eat it.So each of them could not be urged, and a large table was set down first, Jia Zhen ate with him, and Jia Rong was ordered to accompany him there.Xue Pan got excited, so he ate wine with his arms around a boy prostitute, and ordered the wine to be offered to Uncle Xing.Silly uncle loser, not in the mood, after eating two bowls, he became a little drunk, annoyed at the two molesters who only chased the winner and ignored the loser, because he scolded: You rabbits are just like this.We are together every day, whose kindness do you not want?It's just that I lost a few taels of silver right now, so you'll just wait!Is there no more begging for us from now on?Seeing him bring wine, everyone hurriedly said: Very, very good.Sure enough, they have bad customs.Because of drinking: make a toast and make amends!The two child molesters were acting out of their tricks, and hurriedly knelt down to serve wine, saying: We pedestrians, Master taught: no matter how far or near you are, you only want to get close if you are rich or powerful for a while; If you have no money and power, you are not allowed to talk to him.Besides, we are young, and we are in this line, please forgive us, and we will pass!As he spoke, he knelt down while holding the wine.Although Uncle Xing's heart softened, he just pretended to be angry and ignored him.The crowd persuaded again: This child is speaking the truth.The old uncle has been used to pity and cherish jade for a long time, how can he be like this today?If you don't drink this wine, how will the two of them get up?Uncle Xing couldn't bear it any longer, so he said: "If you don't say it, I will ignore it."With that said, Fang took it and drank it dry.Pour another bowl. This Uncle Xing used to drink to hook up the past, and when he got drunk and showed his true feelings, he took the table and sighed to Jia Zhen: "I can't blame them for treating money like life."How many eunuchs were born, if the word "Qian Shi" was mentioned, they would not even recognize their flesh and blood.Old nephew, yesterday I was angry with your aunt, do you know?Jia Zhen said, "I never heard of it."Uncle Xing sighed, "It's just because of money."Interest, interest!Jia Zhen knew very well that he and Mrs. Xing were not on good terms, and every time Mrs. Xing rejected him, she complained, because she persuaded him: "Old uncle, you are too loose."If you just spend it, how much will you spend for the old uncle?Uncle Xing said: "Old nephew, you don't know where I am in the Xing family."When my mother died, I was still young and didn't know anything about the world.There are three of her sisters, only you made my aunt out of the cabinet when she was older, and she managed to bring all the furniture.Although the second sister is also out of the cabinet now, her family is also in a very difficult situation, the third sister is still at home, and all the expenses are spent by the family of Wang Shanbao, the accompanying room here.I came here to ask for money, and what I wanted was from your Jia family. My Xing family's furniture is enough for me to spend.But he couldn't get it, so there was nowhere to sue for grievances.Seeing him chattering after drinking, Jia Zhen was afraid that it would be indecent, so she quickly tried to persuade him. Youshi heard it very clearly outside, so he quietly smiled at Yindie: Did you hear that?This is the brother of the eldest wife in the north courtyard complaining about her.Poor her brother still said that, so I can't blame these people.Because when I still want to listen, those who are playing some games also stop and want to drink.Because someone asked: "Who offended the old uncle just now?"We didn't understand it, and told us the reasoning.When Xing Dequan asked, he told the two molesters that they didn't pay attention to the losers and only chased the winners.The young dandy said: "If you say this, you can be annoyed. I can't blame my uncle and grandpa for being angry."Let me ask you two questions: Although the uncle lost, he lost only money, and he didn’t lose his dick, so why did you ignore him?Everyone laughed, and even Xing Dequan sprayed all over the place.Youshi spat quietly outside and scolded: "Listen, this is a shameless little victim!"He just lost his head and bones, so he chewed his hair.Go to the yellow soup again, and I don't know what's coming out of it!While talking, he went in to remove makeup and rest.At the fourth watch, Jia Zhenfang left and went to Peifeng's room. When I got up the next day, someone replied: The watermelon and moon cakes are all there, and they just need to be distributed.Jia Zhen told Pei Feng: "Please ask your grandma to watch and send it off. I have other things to do."Peifeng agreed to go and went back to You Shi, You Shi had to send someone to send them one by one.For a while, Peifeng said again: Master asked grandma, are you going to go out today?Said that we are a filial family, and there will be no festivals on the fifteenth day of tomorrow. Tonight is a good night. We can have a scene and eat some melon cakes and wine.You Shi said: "I don't want to go out."Over there, Grandma Zhu fell ill again, and girl Feng fell asleep again. If I couldn't go there any longer, I would be left alone.Besides, I can't be free, what should I do?Pei Feng said: "My lord said, I have resigned from everyone today, and I won't come until the sixteenth. Anyway, I must invite grandma to drink."Youshi smiled and said, "Please, I don't have time to return the table."Peifeng went away with a smile, and then came back with a smile and said: Master said, even invite grandma to have dinner, at least come back earlier and tell me to go with grandma.Youshi said, "So, what do you have for breakfast?"Eat quickly so I can go.Peifeng said: "Master said that breakfast is eaten outside, please ask grandma to eat by herself."Youshi asked, "Who is outside today?"Pei Feng said: "I heard that there are two newcomers from Nanjing outside, but I don't know who they are."While speaking, Jia Rong's wife also dressed up and came to see her.When I was young, the meal was served, Youshi was on top, Jia Rong's wife was on the bottom, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law finished the meal.Youshi changed his clothes and still came to Rongfu, and he would not go back until evening. Sure enough, Jia Zhen cooked a pig and a lamb, and the rest of the table vegetables and fruits are unforgettable. In the green hall of Huifang Garden, he screened the peacocks, set the hibiscus on the mattress, and led his wife and concubines. Eat first, drink later, enjoy the moon and have fun.At about one watch, the wind is clear and the moon is bright, and the top and bottom are like silver.Because Jia Zhen wanted to give orders, You Shi asked Pei Feng and other four people to also sit down at the table, guessed a punch, and had a drink.Jia Zhen got a little wine and became more and more happy, so she ordered to fetch a bamboo flute, and ordered Peifeng to play the flute and Wenhua to sing. Her throat was clear and tender, which was really intoxicating.After singing, give orders again.There will be three o'clock that day, and Jia Zhen's wine is already eight minutes old.Everyone was adding clothes and drinking tea, and when they were changing cups to drink more, they suddenly heard someone sighing under the wall over there.Everyone obviously heard it, and they all became terrified and suspicious.Jia Zhen hurriedly screamed and asked, "Who is there?"After asking several times, no one answered.You Shi said: "It must be a family member outside the wall, and I don't know."Jia Zhen said, "Nonsense!"This house with no servants on all sides, and besides the ancestral hall on the other side, how can there be people!Without saying a word, only a gust of wind was heard, and it went over the wall.In a trance, I heard the sound of fans opening and closing in the ancestral hall.I just feel that the atmosphere is dense, and it feels more cool than before, and the moonlight is bleak, not as clear as before.Everyone felt their hair stand on end.Jia Zhen was half sober from the wine, she could only hold on better than others, and she was also very suspicious in her heart, so she lost her interest.After barely sitting for a while, I went back to my room to rest.I got up early the next morning, which was the 15th day. I led all my sons and nephews to open the ancestral hall, performed the ceremony of the new moon, and inspected the ancestral hall carefully. It was still in good condition, and there was no strange sign.Jia Zhen blamed herself for being drunk, so she didn't mention it.After the ceremony, he still closed the door and watched it locked up. Jia Zhen and his wife didn't come to Rongfu until after dinner.I saw Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng sitting in Jiamu's room, gossiping and making fun of Jiamu.Jia Lian, Baoyu, Jia Huan and Jia Lan all stood on the ground.When Jia Zhen came, she saw them all.After saying a few words, Jia's mother ordered her to sit down, and Jia Zhenfang asked to sit down on the little scorpion near the door, and the police sat sideways.Jia Mu asked with a smile, "What happened to your brother Bao's arrow these two days?"Jia Zhen hurriedly got up and said with a smile: "I have made great progress. Not only is the style good, but the bow has also gained strength."Jia Mu said, "That's enough. Don't be greedy, work hard."Jia Zhen hurriedly agreed to a few yes.Jia Mu said again: "The moon cakes you sent yesterday are good, and the watermelon looks good, but it's okay to open them."Jia Zhen said with a smile: "Moon Cake is a new chef who specializes in making dim sum. I tried it and it turned out to be good, so I dared to be a filial piety."Watermelons were fine in previous years, but this year it is not so good.Jia Zhengdao: Probably because of the frequent rain this year.Jia Mu laughed and said, "The moon is already up at this time, let's go to burn incense."Then he stood up, supported Baoyu's shoulders, and led all the people to the garden. At present, the main gates of the garden are all wide open, and big lanterns with horns are hung.On the platform in front of Jiayin Hall, burning incense sticks, holding wind candles, offering melon cakes and various fruits.Mrs. Xing waited for a group of female guests, and they all waited inside for a long time.It's really moonlight lanterns, popular cigarettes, brilliant and glamorous, not shapeable.The ground is covered with worship blankets and brocade mattresses.Jia Mu washes her hands with incense and pays her respects, so everyone pays her respects.Jia Mu said, "It's best to enjoy the moon on the mountain."Go up to the hall on the ridge by fate.When everyone heard about it, they were busy laying it there.Jia Mu had a little rest in Jiayin Hall for tea and gossip. For a while, the person replied: "It's all ready."Jia Mufang helped people up the mountain.Mrs. Wang waited because she said: "I'm afraid the moss on the rock will be slippery, so I'd better sit on a bamboo chair."Jia Mu said: "Someone cleans it every day. Besides, it's a very stable and wide road. Why don't you evacuate your muscles and bones."So Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng, etc. led the way, and two old ladies held two ram horn gloves, mandarin ducks, amber, You Shi, etc. personally supported them, and Mrs. Xing followed behind, meandering up from below, but More than a hundred steps, to the peak ridge of the mountain, is this open hall.Because it is on the high ridge of the mountain, it is called Tubi Mountain Villa.Tables and chairs are arranged on the platform in front of the hall, and a large screen is used to separate the two rooms.All the tables and chairs are round in shape, which means reunion.Jia Mu sat down in the middle above, with Jia Amnesty, Jia Zhen, Jia Lian, and Jia Rong hanging their heads on the left, and Jia Zheng, Baoyu, Jia Huan, and Jia Lan on the right, sitting in a circle.Only half of the wall was seated, and there was still half of the wall below.Jia Mu said with a smile, "I don't feel that there are few people on weekdays. Today, we still have very few people. It's nothing."Thinking back to the days we lived back then, tonight, there were thirty or forty men and women, how lively it was!That's all for today, too little.I will call some more, they all have parents, and it is not easy to come when they go home to meet the occasion.Let the girls sit there now.So people asked Mrs. Xing and other generals Yingchun, Tanchun and Xichun to come out behind the screen.Jia Lian, Baoyu and others came out to sit together. First, his sisters sat down, and then they sat down one by one below. Then Jia Mu ordered to fold a sweet-scented osmanthus, and ordered a daughter-in-law to play drums behind the screen to pass the flowers.If the flowers are in someone's hands, drink a glass and tell a joke as a punishment.So start with Jia's mother first, then Jia's pardon, and take over one by one.The drum beat twice, just stopped in Jia Zheng's hands, so he had to drink.All the sisters and brothers asked you to gently pull me, and I secretly squeezed you again. They all smiled, but they wanted to hear what kind of joke it was.Seeing that Jia's mother was happy, Jia Zheng had no choice but to be happy.When Fang wanted to speak, Jia Mu laughed again and said, "If you stop laughing, you will be punished."Jia Zheng said with a smile: "There is only one. If you don't laugh, you have to be punished."Yin laughed and said: "One person in the family is most afraid of his wife."Just said a word, everyone laughed.I laughed because I had never seen Jia tell a joke.Jia Mu laughed and said, "This must be good."Jia Zheng laughed and said, "If it's good, the old lady will have a drink too much."Jia Mu smiled and said, "Naturally."Jia Zheng said again: "This man who is afraid of his wife never dares to take an extra step."But that day was August 15th, when I went shopping in the street, I met a few friends, and dragged me to my house to have a drink.I didn't want to get drunk, so I fell asleep at a friend's house, and woke up the next day. I regretted it too late, so I had to come home to apologize.His wife was washing her feet, and said: "In this case, if you lick it for me, I will spare you."This man had no choice but to lick her, which made him feel sick and want to vomit.His wife got annoyed and wanted to hit her, saying: You are so frivolous!She was so frightened that her man knelt down and begged, "It's not grandma's dirty feet, it's just because I ate too much rice wine last night and ate a few pieces of moon cake stuffing, so today I feel a little sour."So Jia Mu and everyone laughed.Jia Zheng hurriedly poured a cup and gave it to Jia Mu.Jia Mu laughed and said, "In this case, quickly ask someone to fetch the shochu, and don't burden you."Everyone laughed again. So they beat the drum again, and it was passed on from Jia Zheng to Baoyu drum by coincidence.Baoyu was hesitant because Jia Zheng was sitting, and the flower was in his hand again, because he thought: If you tell a joke, if you don't laugh, and you don't have eloquence, you can't even tell a joke, let alone other things, isn't that right?If you say it is good, but you can't be serious, and you are only used to being glib, what's more, it's not right.It's better not to say it.Nai got up and said, "I can't tell jokes, please limit anything else."Jia Zhengdao: "In this case, only one autumn character is limited, and a poem can be written immediately."If it is good, I will reward you; if it is not good, I will pay attention tomorrow.Jia Mu hurriedly said, "How can you compose poems if you act well?"Jia Zheng said: "He can."Mother Jia heard that if this is the case, do it quickly.Ordering people to take paper and pen, Jia Zheng said, "Just don't use those ice jade crystals, silver colors, bright plains, etc. to pile up words. You have to have another opinion and try your feelings over the past few years."After hearing this, Baoyu touched his heart, thought about four sentences, wrote them on the paper, and showed them to Jia Zheng, saying: "Jia Zheng read it, nodded and said nothing."Seeing this, Jia's mother knew that there was nothing wrong with it, so she asked, "how is it?"Because Jia Zheng wanted Jia's mother to be happy, he said, "It's hard for him."It's just that I don't want to read, because the words and sentences are indecent.Jia Mu said, "That's all."How old can he be?He must be a genius!This should reward him, and he will pay more attention to it in the future.Jia Zheng said, "Exactly."Because I turned around and ordered an old lady to go out and tell the boy in the study to fetch him two fans I brought from Hainan.Baoyu hurriedly thanked him, but returned to his seat to order.When Jia Lan saw that Baoyu was being rewarded, he attended and made a poem. When he handed it to Jia Zheng for reading, he wrote: Jia Zheng was overjoyed after reading it.Then when he talked with Jia Mu, Jia Mu was also very happy and hurriedly ordered Jia Zheng to reward him. So everyone returned to their seats and resumed their orders.This time, Jia Amnesty stayed in his hands, so he had to drink and tell jokes.Yin said: "One son in a family is the most filial."The mother was ill and couldn't seek medical treatment everywhere, so she invited an acupuncture woman to come.The old woman didn't know the pulse, she just said it was heart fire, but now she uses acupuncture and moxibustion, acupuncture and moxibustion will be fine.The son panicked, and asked: "If you see iron, you will die. How do you get it?"The mother-in-law said: You don't need the heart of needles, just the ribs.The son said, the ribs are far away from each other, how can it be good?The mother-in-law said: "It's okay."You don't know how many parents in the world are biased.Everyone laughed when they heard this.Jia's mother also had to eat half a glass of wine for half a day, and said with a smile: "I also have to get an injection from this old woman."When Jia Amnesty heard about it, he knew that he had uttered a preposterous statement. Jia's mother was suspicious, so she hurriedly got up and laughed with Jia's mother, explaining in other words.It's not easy for Jia's mother to mention it again, and she starts to act. Unexpectedly, this time the flowers were in Jia Huan's hands.Jia Huan has made a little progress in his studies recently, and his temper is not good at being upright, just like Baoyu, so he often reads some poems and is curious about ghosts and ghosts.Seeing that Baoyu was awarded for his poems now, he felt itchy, and dared not make mistakes in front of Jia Zheng.Now it happens that the flower is in my hand, so I also ask for a pen and paper, and immediately wave it to Jia Zheng.Jia Zheng looked at it and found it strange, but the words and sentences ended with the meaning of not being happy to study, so he said displeased: "It can be seen that he is a brother."Speech and exhalation are always evil, and in the future, they will not be able to abide by the rules and principles, and all the way are vulgar.The wonderful thing is that there was a dilemma among the ancients, and you two can also be called a dilemma.It's just that you two have difficult words, but it's better to teach difficult words that are difficult to teach.The elder brother blatantly regarded himself as Wen Feiqing, but now the elder brother himself is the reincarnation of Cao Tang.Jia She and the others all laughed.Jia Amnesty asked the poem to read it again, praised it repeatedly, and said, "I think this poem has a lot of backbone."Thinking that a family like ours is not as shabby as that one, it must be a snowy window and a fire, and one day the toad palace will win the laurels, so that we can feel proud.Our children should have read some books, but they understand a little better than others. When they can be officials, they can't escape an official.Why bother to make a nerd instead.That's why I love his poems, which don't lose the spirit of our noble family.Because he turned around and ordered people to take many of his playthings to reward him.Yin patted Jia Huan's head again, and said with a smile, "it's our tone to do this in the future. In the future, this hereditary future will definitely not be able to run away from you."When Jia Zheng heard about it, he hurriedly persuaded him: "But he made such a nonsense, and there is a discussion about the funeral."Then he poured the wine and made another order. Jia Mu then said, "Go ahead."Naturally, there are still gentlemen waiting outside, so don't ignore them.Besides, there are more two, you are separated, let me and the girls have more fun, so we can rest.After Jia Amnesty heard this, Fang stopped the order, and everyone had a glass of wine, and Fang took his nephews out.To know carefully, listen to the next time.
