65. Events
It has to be said that in addition to being born with blood relationships, the relationship between people is mostly due to their interactions. For example, Uncle Feng and He Gong and uncle are naturally close to each other, but because they were too far away in the past, even if they were interested in getting close to each other, they always brought some politeness even if they were close. Even Uncle Feng felt that living in his mother-in-law's house was not as comfortable as his home. Of course, this is a common human relationship, which is not surprising.
However, this time, Uncle Feng lived more and more freely.
He Zijin asked Uncle Feng to play a stadium for her poetry meeting, and after she asked Uncle Feng to give a special speech, not only Feng Yi made many new friends, but the He family became lively. Huluo and others were happy to come and get close to Uncle Feng. The children were not as scheming as adults, and relatives were also very pure. When they were still on vacation at school, they went to Furongquan early in the morning to receive the freshest spring water and carried it back for Uncle Feng to use for tea to make.
Uncle Feng has never been a husband, but he also thinks that the children in Bishui County are particularly cute. Especially for learning, he is particularly strong. Uncle Feng is happy to know more children like this. Moreover, if someone is a companion, his son's enthusiasm for learning seems to be out of control. Uncle Feng even plans to say that although he has to be mourning at home in recent years, it is not easy to waste time. When he goes home to adjust the homework of the children in the clan, he is also his concern and expectation for the younger generation.
There are many children in the He family, and it is hard to say that they are lively. Shen Su also came in a few days.
Because he was preparing for the autumn examination of the next year, Shen Su and He Gong first obtained the actual essay of the autumn examination of the past years. He originally planned to ask Mr. Xu for his articles before the New Year. Mr. Xu was not only a teacher of the uncle and his uncle, but also Mr. Xu himself had a reputation as a scholar. However, as soon as Brother Feng arrived at the He family, Shen asked someone to send a message to his parents' home and asked his younger brother to come over. In Shen's mind, Mr. Xu was of great proficiency, but Brother Feng was a Jinshi, so he was naturally better. Moreover, Shen had a very good relationship with the sister-in-law of He, and brother-in-law Feng was a serious relative. He was very dedicated to his husband and brother, so he naturally tried his best.
Brother Feng was also happy to discuss homework with the two. Don’t say that the clan and in-laws in this era are so close. As long as you are a normal person, no one will think that your brother-in-law and your brother-in-law are working hard.
Afterwards, Shen Su said to himself that he was lucky enough to win the autumn examination. Brother Feng made great efforts here. Not only was the guidance of the article, Brother Feng was a Jinshi after all, and he had already walked this path. He had already given the title of the Golden List, and he had no shortage of experience in the Gui Ban. In addition, Brother Feng had some good classmates and the same year. Although he had not been in the Hanlin Academy for a long time, he also knew some people in the officialdom, and he also had great scholars who were studying hard. Brother Feng had many inconveniences in filial piety, but he still guided the uncle and his uncle to go around.
In the autumn examination, the second stop in the world of fame and fortune that scholars all over the world are chasing is always indispensable for strength and fortune.
Shen Su and He Gong were one of them. Even though Mrs. He was a little disappointed that his son had bad luck, he was still very happy that Shen Su was promoted.
In-laws and families, one prospers and one loses.
Even if Mrs. He didn't say such literary words, she knew all these truths very well. When Shen Su passed the Juren, her son had a brother-in-law who was born in the Juren, and his grandchildren also had an uncle who was born in the Juren.
Mrs. He also asked Mrs. Yu to prepare a gift, asking her son to take his wife and daughter to Yue's house for a trip, and also congratulate Chen Su. Of course, Mrs. He couldn't help but comfort her son, for fear that his son would not be able to think about it because of the failure of the autumn examination.
He Gong has always been kind-hearted, and although he is unavoidable, he is depressed, with a loving mother, his wife and children, he threw away his hands after two days of depression. Their uncle and uncle were both together, and it was God's blessing to win one. Moreover, the uncle and uncle have always had a very good relationship, and He Gong is also happy for his brother-in-law.
He Zijin is already seven years old, and the news that her uncle passed the imperial examination has caused her to receive a lot of envy in the Chen family. After more than two years of teaching by Mr. Xue, He Zijin has become Mr. Xue's favorite student. She is now very good at pretending. Therefore, even if the Chen family heard that her uncle passed the imperial examination, they praise her uncle, and they will praise He Zijin for being smart and clever. He Zijin is not a saint, and she will naturally be happy to praise her uncle. However, she was just proud in her heart, and she only showed humility on her face.
Moreover, although her uncle passed the imperial examination, her father failed. He Zijin was happy for her uncle and did not forget to care more about her father. In front of her father, she did not mention the matter of the autumn examination. She only cared about her father for dinner in the morning and her father for sleeping in the evening, but she asked her father to go to Furong Lake with her to enjoy the scenery and relax. He Gong could recover quickly from the depression of the autumn examination. It was inseparable from the care of her baby daughter. In He Zijin's words, "Of course she was happy that her uncle passed the imperial examination, but her father's mood was the most important thing."
From this we can see that He Zijin's skill in coaxing people is also soaring. Even Old Mother He thought she was sensible. She took out a piece of sauce-colored material from the bottom of the box in a corner and asked Shen to make clothes for He Zijin. He Zijin complained, "As soon as she put on this color, you will know that our family runs a pickle shop. Other girls are either pink or red, just me, make a sauce-colored material. Grandma, you are my own grandmother!"
Mrs. He scolded, "Just said you were sensible, so you were picking on food and clothing again!"
He Zijin said, "Then you make it for A Lie. A Lie is a kid and looks good in the sauce."
Mrs. He, "Tsk, my dear grandson is so white and tender, and the bright red is the best match." As he said that, he gave Shen two pieces of materials and asked Shen to make He Lie's clothes. He Zijin's eyes were almost blowing fire. Mrs. He was afraid that the torch in the eyes of the girl would burn the house. He said, "Yes, and there is also a piece of royal blue, making a skirt is enough. That's the sauce-colored one, so let's give it to the third girl."
He Zijin rolled his eyes and wanted to compete with Mrs. He. The third girl had already pulled her and Mrs. He thanked her.
Old lady He scolds He Zijin, "Don't turn around all day long if you have big eyes, be careful to turn it into a cross-eye!" Dear girl, who are you glaring at!
"I want to turn over because I am so small that I want to turn over, but I am afraid that everyone will not see it for a long time." He Zijin covered her mouth and laughed. There were people in the room, and Old Madam He had the smallest eyes. She was serious. Old Madam He was so angry that she rolled up her sleeves and started to do it. He Zijin coaxed her again, "Last time I said that the cotton socks I made for my grandmother have been made, and I will take them over to my grandmother to try later."
Mrs. He didn't appreciate it, "Isn't it just two torn socks? I haven't seen socks in 800 lives? Two torn socks have been made for two months." Of course, compared to He Zijin's first socks, it's faster to make two socks in two months. He Zijin's first pair of socks were made for more than half a year, and his speed was so slow that he was mocked by Mrs. He as "just eat the fastest". For example, "It shouldn't be a pig, but it should be a ox." If He Zijin had not been broad-minded and met a grandmother like Mrs. He would have really caused a mental illness for He Zijin. Fortunately, He Zijin grew up gradually and had a needlework for two years, and his speed improved greatly.
Now that I heard Mrs. He say she was slow, He Zijin has never been a good-looking lamp. She smiled, "Oh, look at what you always said." He asked Cui'er to get the needle and thread. He Zijin said, "I'll show you later. The sock tube is embroidered with flowers. The new needle method I learned from my cousin is extremely bright, even if you have never worn such bright socks in your life."
Mrs. He curled his lips to show disdain. For a moment, Cui'er took the socks made by He Zijin. He took them to Mrs. He took them carefully and looked at them. The needle and thread were still fine. A circle of red plums was embroidered on the plain white sock tube. Even though Mrs. He wanted to find some problems, he only said one sentence, "You are stupid and not convinced! You can wear socks on your feet, who can see them! You can do these exquisite tricks! It's cost me to use these embroidery threads. Is it cost me to have a lot of money? Is there any good looking one, you have to show it outside. It's cold, and I was about to make a smear. Ah Yu is old and has a bad look. The work in the embroidery workshop is too much to finish, and your mother has to make big clothes. You can barely see people in your needlework, so you can do it." You also have a tone of taking advantage of you.
He Zijin endured the laughter, "Since it is winter, it is better to make cotton."
Mrs. He nodded and Shen smiled, "There are two rabbit skins at home. My mother is a Zhaojun lying rabbit, and it's just right to wear it in winter."
Mrs. He said, "Then just apply a cotton forehead and a lie rabbit." He asked He Zijin again, "Do you know how to be a lie rabbit? Don't pretend to be a lie rabbit, you'll ruin your good fortune."
He Zijin said, "I have never done any smearing my forehead, why don't you choose another capable person for this smearing my forehead?"
Mrs. He curled her mouth, "Your mother, your nanny, and the three girls, have good needlework. You are so clumsy, you should practice more. Being tighter, I have other things to do after you do these two things."
He Zijin, "You are so rude."
"Tsk~" Old Madam He forced herself to stop spitting He Zijin and sneered, "I'm eating my mother's clothes, and I'm asking me to be polite to you! You have such a big face!"
He Zijin touched his moist and round face and said to Mr. He, "Are you big? My father said I'm thin now and my face is a little smaller. He asked my mother to buy me some more delicious food to supplement."
Mrs. He quickly said to her son, "This girl has been growing taller in the past two years and has lost weight. You don't always buy good things for her to eat. If you really grow up, I will be worried to death." What if you say something about others in the future? Mrs. He said, "It's better to be like the third girl." He said to the third girl, "If you have time, teach your sister how to grow into a slim person."
The third girl has been in the He family for the past few years. She is four years older than He Zijin. When she first came, she is not much taller than He Zijin. She is pitiful and like a refugee. Now the third girl is still not fat, but she is taller than He Zijin, and she is taller and taller, with a bit of a girlish look. The third girl has also figured out the temper of Mr. He in the past two or three years and advised Mr. He laughed and cried, "Don't worry, my aunt, my sister was even more round when she was a child. Just look at her uncle and aunt, and my aunt is not fat, so how could my sister be fat."
Mrs. He was very worried about He Zijin's future and sighed, "Who is like her? She will pound it in the kitchen every day when she has time. My grandmother Chen suddenly wanted to eat the pot of pork buns. The cook at home made it sour and sweet, and she also liked it very much. This dish was made by He Zijin with the idea and used it to call Mrs. Zhou. The rest also have sweet and sour pork ribs, cherry meat, etc., which He Zijin "thinks" them. He Zijin now shows true love for the kitchen, which really aroused Mrs. He's worried about He Zijin's figure. She would rather not eat pot buns than see He Zijin look like a fat girl. If it is difficult to marry in the future, wouldn't she lose her hands?
Some of Mrs. He didn't think about it all, and then talked about his son and daughter-in-law going to the Shen family to welcome Chensu tomorrow. "It will definitely be lively when you go and talk and have a drink. If it's too late, it's okay to stay for a day. Don't take A Lie there. He is still young, just bring a girl's movie." He said to Shen again, "Say hello to your father and mother for me."
Both husband and wife agreed. He Lie was three years old this year and wanted to visit relatives with his parents. He was very unhappy when he heard that he would not take him there. He was the baby of He. He probably had to use his baby's good grandson for the rest of his life and coaxed him for half a day until he agreed to buy a wooden knife for him to play with at the market outside. He Lie stopped making trouble.
Seeing that it was getting late, Mrs. He coaxed her baby grandson and sent her children and grandchildren to rest. Madam Yu brought hot water to wash up. Because it was cold, Mrs. He even burned her feet and waited to wipe her feet dry. Mrs. He asked, "Where are the socks made from girls?"
Madam Yu took it and smiled, "The needlework of our eldest girl is so delicate. The madam sees how delicate the stitches are, and she looks like she has put in a lot of effort at first glance."
Old Mother He sat by the oil lamp for half a day, rubbed it for a while, and the cotton material was soft. Old Mother He was always stubborn and said, "You can still see it if you make do with it." Then he put on his feet.
Madam Yu:...
"Miss, I'd better wear it tomorrow."
"Just wear it at night, you can see this flower a few more times. You said this girl looks smart on weekdays, but she just does stupid things and embroideres her socks. Who can see that?" As she said, she lay in the quilt and said, "It's cold and her feet are easy to get cold. She just happens to wear these socks."
Madam Yu, "Why don't I give my wife a soup?"
"No need, it's just right to wear these socks now." Old lady He simply rejected Madam Yu's suggestion neatly and said, "A Yu, go to bed too. If you are cold, please give yourself a soup."
Madam Yu held back her laughter, why did I put down the curtain before I could rest?
