(Please vote for Sanjiang, please vote for recommendation, vote for vote, lifeblood)
The auspicious time is approaching, the guests gather together, and the "Zhuzhou Trial" begins.
In the main hall of the front yard, there is a large case in front of the screen, which is covered with various "tested" small objects. The three religious scriptures of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, the official star seal, pen, ink, paper and inkstone and other literary treasures, as well as
Abacus, account books, coins, food, toys, etc. What the Taoist idiot pays most attention to are the other two items, the rouge box and the silk flower.
When I was watching "Dream of Red Mansions" in my previous life, I was still very puzzled. Even if Jia Baoyu caught the rouge box and made Jia Zheng so unhappy, why would anyone put the rouge box at the Chou Zhou Banquet?
Now it seems that rouge and flowers are like pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and they are also the rules when "experimenting".
The female family members who appeared in front of everyone, except for the two generations of mothers-in-law of Wang Cui and Wang Yang, were the elders of several other houses in the family. The younger daughters-in-law and ladies were hiding behind the screen.
back.
Wang Ning stood on Wang Cui's left hand, and several old ladies from the same clan were together, looking lovingly at Wu Lang beside Wang Yang.
Wulang is a very cute figure carved in pink and jade. He is sitting on the table and does not show any timidity under the gaze of everyone. He sticks out his little butt and crawls around on the table. Around his neck is hanging a Taoist gift.
The treasure-embedded longevity lock.
Everyone in the hall silenced their voices and looked at Wulang intently, wondering what the kid would catch.
Sanlang and Wang Qi had already returned to Dao Chi. Sanlang was pulling Dao Chi's sleeves and looking at the case with some nervousness on his face.
The Taoist idiot also looked at the villain on the case and saw him wandering around, tossing about the four treasures of the study and the books. He knew that someone had probably "taught" Wulang in advance what to catch. This is not surprising, after all, which family doesn't want their children
Grab a good object and ask for some praise.
If you really let your children do what they want, then there is no need to think about it. Most of them will go straight to eat snacks.
At this moment, the little Kung Fu guy had already picked up something, a writing brush, and he immediately heard endless praises.
Dao Chi looked at Wang Cui and Wang Yang. Wang Yang looked at Wu Lang with eyes that were so soft that they could shed tears. Wang Cui also smiled, but for some reason her eyes also looked at San Lang and Dao Chi from time to time.
.
Dao Chi and Mrs. Wang Cui happened to look at each other. Wang Cui's smile immediately froze and she quickly looked away. Dao Chi didn't pay attention and still looked at Wang Yang involuntarily.
I wonder if the sister-in-law from the third room who wants to "come into the house" is here today. If she doesn't come, she will regret it. If she comes, I'm afraid she will regret it. Although he has only met Wang Yang a few times, he can see that
Wang Yang has a gentle temperament with a hint of arrogance.
He will never swallow his grievances, and he is a very independent person. Even if the little aunt really has a tail, she may not be able to suppress Wang Yang; not to mention, she just doesn't know how to measure, and starts to slander others before they even come to the door.
Daughter's fool.
The Taoist idiot believed that the little sister-in-law had angered the Wang Yang family.
Before he could finish praising Wulang for growing up and being talented in literature, Wulang had already grabbed another item, which was the silk flower, which immediately aroused good-natured laughter from everyone.
No one would be so disappointed and say that Wu Lang is a lecher, most of them say that he will become a romantic young man. Wang Qinghong's smile was a bit stiff, obviously he was not satisfied with the result, but his demeanor did not allow him to react.
Mrs. Wang Yang still had a gentle smile, without the slightest trace of disappointment or dissatisfaction. Even if it was "romantic", it didn't matter. If it was a common people's family, men who were "lustful and lustful" might cause disaster; in a wealthy family, it would just be a few more concubines.
That's all.
However, Sanlang had read too many books about saints and sages, and was a little uncomfortable with his younger brother grabbing the flowers. Seeing this, Wang Qi persuaded in a low voice: "This is a good thing. The number of people in the twelve rooms is so thin, and the branches and leaves are scattered."
The heavy responsibility rests on Sanlang and Wulang. If Wulang grows up to be really romantic and affectionate, then wouldn't Sanlang be able to have a few more nephews? Twelve houses will have many descendants in the future, and they won't be so thin."
Wang Qi just comforted him casually, but Sanlang listened, nodded, and said seriously: "What Qi Ge said is exactly right, but I also have to teach Wu Lang well that you can cherish flowers and not be greedy for them."
Wang Qi suppressed a smile and responded: "That's right. Uncle Hong is very polite, and Auntie is also very strict about rules. As an elder brother, you should teach him more, and he won't be too outrageous even if he becomes romantic in the future."
Two and a half-year-old teenagers were whispering and speaking in adult language. The Taoist idiot was very amused after hearing this.
However, Sanlang looked at Wulang, who was holding a brush in his left hand and a silk flower in his right hand, and let out a heavy breath, obviously feeling a lot of pressure.
After taking the test, the banquet will begin.
Wang Cui's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law took the female guests back to the inner house, and everyone in the front hall, the main hall, and the side hall also began to have dinner.
As a guest, Lu Wenzhao, together with several other young men from the clan, sat down in the south hall. Sanlang, who was in charge of entertaining, also had Wang Qi and Dao Chi at the table.
Although Lu Wenzhao looked aloof and arrogant when he was in the government school, he restrained himself a lot in front of Sanlang. The Analects of Confucius, which he never left his hands on, was nowhere to be found. He was a guest with a foreign surname, so he was different from the young men in his clan.
, naturally I took the seat, just to the left of Saburo.
He looked at Saburo eagerly, sometimes asking a few "difficult questions" about his homework, and sometimes saying a few childish words.
Wang Qi was sitting on his left. Seeing his awkward appearance, Wang Qi was very curious and couldn't help but stare at him to see why the "nerd" was so abnormal.
But this guy showed timidity when he opened his mouth. The so-called "hard questions" he asked were really superficial. Fortunately, his voice was not loud, otherwise it would be a big joke for others to hear him.
Sanlang was obviously surprised when he heard Lu Wenzhao's "problem". However, he was raised there, and soon his expression became normal. He pondered for a moment and gave Lu Wenzhao a more thorough explanation.
Lu Wenzhao's eyes brightened when he heard this, and he asked, "Does Sanlang have any other pastimes during his spare time from studying?"
Sanlang thought for a while and replied: "Playing the piano, playing chess, painting, whatever comes to mind, there is no set rule."
When Lu Wenzhao heard this, his face was full of yearning, and his eyes looking at Sanlang were not just admiration and envy, but extremely hot.
Sanlang was tender-faced and felt embarrassed to be stared at, so he turned around and whispered softly: "Erlang, this elder brother of the Lu family is so weird, why are you staring at me like that?"
The Taoist Chi said: "He is a fake nerd. When he meets a real nerd like you, he naturally wants to be close to you."
Saburo said dissatisfied: "Where did I stay?"
Dao Chi smiled sullenly and said: "Third brother is not dull, but the smell of books is stronger."
Sanlang didn't answer, and was silent for a long time. Fang said in a low and inaudible voice: "I won't be a bookworm, nor will I be as pedantic as the master..."
When the food and drinks were served, everyone was silent. Even though there were only half-grown teenagers at the table, the wine was sweet wine and not intoxicating, so everyone just sipped it in small sips. After all, other than going out to eat, these teenagers didn’t do anything.
Opportunity to drink.
Wang Qi and Sanlang both looked at Dao Chi, thinking that he had quit eating meat and fish after coming out of the mountain temple, and wondered whether he should quit drinking or not?
It was the first time for Dao Chi to see sweet wine in this world. He was a little curious. He picked it up and looked at it. The wine soup was green and white, a bit like the sweet fermented rice of later generations. He took a sip and found that it was sour and sweet, and the wine tasted better than fermented fermented rice.
It's a little heavier, but it's also refreshing.
Lu Wenzhao, perhaps out of joy, kept holding the jug, either continuing to do it himself or pouring wine for Sanlang. Even though the jug contained only mild sweet wine, no one dared to let it go.
Let him drink it.
Wang Qi then pulled away and snatched the jug away, and said to Lu Wenzhao: "This is good wine. It needs to be tasted carefully. How can you waste it like you? If you want to eat two more cups, you have to write a poem in exchange for it."
"
Lu Wenzhao didn't have any ink in his stomach, but after hearing Wang Qi's words, he couldn't get hard. He laughed twice and then stopped...
The wine has passed three rounds, and the food has passed the five flavors.
Others were fine, and they were not afraid of eating in the dark. Wang Qi, Dao Chi, Lu Wenzhao and others still had to rush back to the palace. They couldn't go back smelling like wine. They also had to go home separately, take a shower, change clothes, and sort out their belongings.
Lu's father had already come over, took the slightly drunk Lu Wenzhao and said goodbye.
Sanlang estimated the time and ordered the boy to pass the message to the second door to see if Wang Ning would leave the table.
After a while, the boy came back and said that Wang Ning was about to leave the table and come out.
Wang Qi then ordered his entourage to hitch a carriage, and the three children went to the second gate to wait for Wang Ning.
It was not only Wang Ning who came out, but also several other female relatives. Surrounded by her maids, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Wang Yang personally saw off the guests.
Next to Wang Ning, there were two girls standing, one was quiet and elegant, it was Rong Niang; the other was charming, with flying eyes, slightly frivolous, I don't know who she was.
Wang Ning took Rong Niang's hand, with a look of reluctance on her face, and said, "She is such a good girl who is loved by everyone. I will have some free time in the future, so I can go home. Our Shun Niang is about the same age as you, so my little sister can just talk to relieve her boredom."
"
Rong Niang leaned over and said softly: "My granddaughter has thanked her great uncle. She will go to pay her respects to her great uncle and pay a visit to Sister Shun Niang on another day."
The female guests who came out with them had different thoughts when they saw that they were so compatible. Even if ten people slandered Rong Niang, they could not compare to Wang Ning's praise. Wang Ning was a chaste woman commended by the imperial court, and her reputation was first-rate.
Well, what are those women with long tongues trying to compare with.
Wang Yang didn't show it on his face, but he couldn't help but feel excited in his heart.
It's easy to add icing on the cake, but it's difficult to provide help when it's time.
She has lived for most of her life and has experienced wealth and glory. The only thing she cares about now is these children. If anyone dares to plot against her children, they are her life and death enemies; if anyone helps these children, they are hers.
A great benefactor.
Wang Ning nodded and said: "Okay, okay, my uncle and aunt will make you some snacks then."
After all, she was not that kind-hearted old lady. Even though she was kinder to Rong Niang, she still looked calm when facing other people. After saying goodbye, Sanlang and Qilang helped her get into the carriage.
Taoist idiots here rarely have to say goodbye to Wang Yang and Rong Niang.
Wang Yang said: "Have a good time and be filial to your grandmother. Come home after the school holidays." After saying this, he paused and said: "The longevity lock is very good, Wu Lang likes it very much."
The Taoist Chi agreed and said to Rong Niang: "Sister, I was bored at home, so I went out for a walk. Sister Shun Niang is gentle and quiet. I will definitely get along with her."
Rong Niang nodded in agreement, looking at Dao Chi with a close and complicated look in her eyes.
Wang Qi also came to say goodbye, and the carriage left the second gate. Sanlang accompanied the two of them out of the gate again, and then watched them get into the car.
Following Wang Qi's carriage out of the mansion was Sanfang's carriage.
The pretty girl standing next to Rong Niang just now is Wang Qinghan's sister-in-law...
