Concubine's three acres of pastoral garden

Chapter 29

Xiang Lai said: "It's just a knife, it's not a big deal..." Looking at the red paper under Xiu Fenniang's armpit, she asked, "Auntie, what are you doing here?"

Xiufen's mother said: "Writing is right. In the past, your father wrote it. This year, your mother must write it. I know that your mother's handwriting is better than your father's, but she never wrote it for me. !"

Xiang Lai thought: "Looking at this year, besides my mother, who else in the old Shen family can write you a pair. My two brushes might as well be stamped on a few cow's hoof prints to look better."

While she was thinking about it, Xianglai Niang had silently accepted the red paper, and said, "Well, I'll write it for you this year, but if someone asks you, just say it was... say it was written by Xianglai!"

Xianglai was stunned, and thought: This is not bad, if others really believe it and come to ask me to write a pair, then they will reveal nothing!
She wanted to think about it, but she didn't dare to say it, because Tianlai said that her predecessor, Xianglai, wrote beautifully, but now she suddenly became ugly, which is really inexplicable.

Niang Xiufen glanced at Xianglai after hearing what Xianglainiang said, her expression was a bit cramped. For some reason, Xianglai felt that she was not as warm to her as before.

When the three came to the house, Xianglai returned the knife to the kitchen. Seeing that the second aunt's water hadn't boiled yet, Tianlai was drooling over the pig's trotters in the basin, so she came over to pull him and said, "Let's go, let's see what auntie wrote. Go, the pig's trotters will be eaten at night."

"Ok!"

Tiansheng followed Xianglai into the room with a bouncing sound.

Watching Xiang Lai Niang take out the pen, ink and inkstone from the drawer, she hurried forward to help grind the ink. If she hadn't copied books from Yu Zixi, she really wouldn't have known how to do this kind of elegant work.

After her ink was polished, Xianglai also cut the red paper that Xiufen's mother had brought, and after a little thought, she took up a pen and wrote: Xiucai Ruixiang Bi Fangfen in auspicious years, Shunfu and Zhaixinchao Na Baizi .

At the end, he wrote the words "Yingxiang Tianjin" on the short paper as a horizontal comment.

After finishing writing, read it to Niang Xiufen, and said: "You are Jia Xiufen's name in the first couplet, and Shunzi's name in the second couplet. The children are all grown up, I hope you will have a good fortune!"

Xiu Fenniang said happily at first: "Yes, look at you who are careful..." But when she was talking, she suddenly got stuck and glanced at Xiang Lai inadvertently. Feeling a little depressed, she forced a smile and said: "This New Year's Eve You're all busy, so I'm here to trouble you again, um... I have a lot of things to do at home, so I'll go back and visit my house in the evening when I have free time, Xiufen's father hung up a lantern!"

Xiang Lai Niang nodded and said: "Well, I also tied a small lantern for Tian Lai, and these children will definitely run wild all over the village at night."

Watching Niang Xianglai send Niang Xiufen out, Tianlai quietly asked: "Sister, why don't you buy some red paper and come back, our family is not right yet."

"Hush!" Xianglai said in a low voice: "My father is gone, our family can't match up, don't tell your mother and my mother about this, or they will be sad again."

Tianlai nodded sensibly, and was about to go with Xianglai to help Second Aunt pick chicken feathers, but Wu Zhaodi also came over with a roll of red paper, followed Xianglainiang into the room, and said, "Second Aunt, I took the chicken feathers from last year. The leftover red paper was found, and we also wrote pairs, and I asked Dachang to paste it, and it will stick together in a while."

Xiang Lai Niang glanced at the red paper in her hand, her expression was a little bit bad, but she still said: "Well, let it go, I'll write it right away."

Seeing this, Tianlai asked: "Sister, isn't our family unable to post pairs? Why is sister-in-law still writing?"

Looking at Wu Zhaodi, Xianglai got angry, and said: "Our family's rules belong to our family. She is the daughter of the old Wu's family. The old Wu's family never taught this!"

Wu Zhaodi widened her eyes when she heard that, and said, "Chen Xianglai, what do you mean? You said that the old Wu family has no rules! The big girl's house is a man's house!"

Xianglai was taken aback when she heard her words. She was originally worried that Wu Zhaodi would blame her for causing Dachang to stay in Songning for one more day, but she was blocked by buying medicine for her uncle, and no one could say anything, but she didn't expect Dachang even told Wu Zhaodi about the misunderstanding that day.

She secretly scolded Shen Dachang for being such a bad mouth, no wonder she was manipulated by Wu Zhaodi, so she didn't have any brains at all. If Wu Zhaodi spread this word, how would she go out to meet people in the future?

Thinking of this, she said with a cold face: "I go into a man's room? What kind of fart are you, Wu Zhaodi! Which eye of yours saw me go into a man's room?"

Wu Zhaodi lifted her chin and said, "Hmph, if you want people to know you, you have to do nothing! You don't have something to do with that man, why should he give you rice for nothing? Do you think that you can do such a shameless thing? If you hide it, no one will know? Say my family has no rules, but you have rules! What kind of scholar are you pretending to be, and what are you talking about writing books for in exchange? , who doesn't know who, if you can write a book, my old sow can fly into the sky!"

While bombarding Xianglai with vicious words, she grabbed the paper on the table and rolled it together angrily.

Xianglai was so angry that she almost didn't vomit blood. It's not that she has never seen a gossip woman before, but there is such a top-notch one like Wu Zhaodi, it's not worth mentioning such pretentious things in front of the parties, and she even makes it reasonable of.

She was so angry that she suddenly calmed down, looked at Wu Zhaodi with a sneer, and said, "Okay! Even if it's true that I went into a man's house, who did I go with? I went with Shen Dachang! I'm from the countryside Girl, the first time you enter the city, your eyes are darkened. Where can I find a man? If there is one, it must be brought by Shen Dachang! Who does Shen Dachang listen to? He only listens to you Wu Zhaodi! In the end, this is what you Wu Zhaodi meant Wu Zhaodi, are you crazy about money? You are really vicious enough to let Shen Dachang sell his sister in the city! This kind of thing is coming! You actually want to sell me! You are still human..."

At first, Wu Zhaodi thought she recognized her, and she had such an expression, but she didn't expect Xianglai's few words to get her into it, accusing her of being so inhumane, she was so angry that her face turned green , pointing at Xianglai with red paper and shouting: "You, you spout blood! It's you who are shameless, so what's none of my business?"

Xianglai said: "You can talk nonsense and I can spew blood at others. Let me tell you, Wu Zhaodi, if you move a stone in front of me, Chen Xianglai, you will only hit your own feet! If you are sensible, you will be obedient to me from now on, and I guarantee you Nothing happened!"

Since Wu Zhaodi came back last time, she didn't dare to be as arrogant as before, and she didn't dare to let go of her throat when she was arguing with Xianglai this time. Only the people in the west room could hear the noise.

The second aunt in the kitchen was disturbed to come in, and she asked with chicken feathers on her hands: "What's wrong, why did you start arguing while talking?"

Xiang Lai Niang said with an attitude of calming things down, "It's all right..."
