The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 25 The Mountain Dwelling Years Rare Wild Fun (Please recommend~~)

The village where Zhang's family lives is called Xiniang Village. Because there is a small river outside the village, it is called Xiniang River. It has raised the lives of about [-] people in the village, so the local people have a special affection for Xiniang River. deep.

When the third aunt of the Xing family married into Xiniang Village, the Zhang family was just an ordinary family. Zhang Yi's father was an orphan. Zhang Yi's father, unfortunately, this daughter was as short-lived as her father, and left after giving birth to a son.

Zhang Yi's father was not bad in appearance, and his craftsmanship was one of the best in the village. Many people wanted to marry Zhang Yi's father, but Zhang Yi's father was worried that his son would be bullied by his stepmother, so he kept biting his tongue.

Until that year when I went to the county town to sell leather, I ran into the third girl of the Xing family.Later I heard that Xing Zhong wanted to marry his sister for money, so Zhang Yi's father paid a matchmaker to speak well, and promised a sum of money that was not small for the Zhang family.

In those few years, people in the village laughed at Zhang Yi's father, saying that his soul was taken away, he was reluctant to eat and drink, and he saved money just to marry such a woman.Unexpectedly, within a few years, the Xing family had great luck. Not only did the uncle of the Xing family turn himself around and become a capable man next to the county magistrate Bai Youshan, but he also helped Zhang Yi's family become a well-known big family.

Relying on the Xiniang River outside the village, Zhang Yi's family raised more than 30 buffalo cows, which specially provided delicious buffalo milk for the Xing family's pastry shop in the city.

The house of the Zhang family is one of the best in the entire Xiniang Village. The third aunt of the Xing family has always regretted that she did not have a daughter as smart as Xiuyan after her fortune. In addition, the Zhang family has indeed become a well-known big family thanks to the Zhang family, so the third aunt's grandmother She treats Xiuyan as her own daughter, and even prepares a spacious and exquisite embroidery room for Xiuyan alone.

At the end of the year, Xiniang Village was extremely lively. Through the walls of the Zhang family's compound, Xiuyan and Daiyu could hear the laughter of children outside. Zhengde finally had a holiday and begged his sister to let him go out to play.Xiuyan and Daiyu were packing their luggage, and when they heard this, they asked Zhuan'er to grab a hundred dollars: "You ask two safe boys to take Zhengde out to play, and don't stick to him, buy more peanut candies for the boy Friends eat, remember"

Xiuyan said to Zhengde with a pretty face, "Don't set off firecrackers, carefully blow up your hand."

"My sister is so wordy, I know!" Turning around and running outside, the anxious Zhuan'er shouted his name from behind.

Daiyu laughed a lot: "My sister knew that Zhengde would definitely buy firecrackers, but she gave him back a hundred dollars, you two!"

"That brat has a big idea. If what I say is reasonable, he will still listen to it. If I insist on forcing him, he will be fine. He won't twist it in front of you, but he will do it secretly. It's not that Sister Lin doesn't know what happened in the stable two days ago, I was almost beaten by my mother."

At the end of the new year, the family was so busy that even Daiyu was dragged by Xiuyan to check the purchase list for the new year, not to mention Lu Shi and Xing Zhong.Everyone's busy work has made this little man Zhengde a success. He sneaked into the stables, took advantage of no one around, pulled out his little BMW and wanted to sneak out for a walk, but he was sent home early. Xing Zhong blocked him.This time, Lu Shi was furious, little BMW suffered innocently, and was sent to Zhuangzi, Zhengde was fined to write a hundred big characters, Xiuyan was implicated in it, and was fined two months' monthly money.

In the evening, Daiyu and Xiuyan huddled together on the same bed, and the two sisters chattered non-stop. Daiyu told her elder sister Xiuyan all the grievances and thoughts she had never told anyone in these years.Xiuyan can often guide this lost girl in the dense clouds with a few words, and Daiyu firmly believes in it.

In the early morning of the second day, Zhang Yi came to tell his cousin that some friends in the village he had made good friends with were going to go hunting in the mountains, and the little girls from each family planned to take the opportunity to pick some wild fruits to entertain guests during the Chinese New Year.Speaking of which, there is a very special tree growing in the old mountain outside Xiniang Village. It buds in midsummer, blooms in autumn, and bears fruit in midwinter. The colder the weather, the more delicious the fruit is. The locals love to eat it, but it’s a pity. The fruits all grow in the remote old mountains, and the little girls can only pick two or three by touching the ones around them, and they dare not go far.

Zhang Yi is a well-known hunter. It stands to reason that his current family situation does not require him to go hunting in the mountains. Firstly, he is invited by his friends, and secondly, he also hopes that the two sisters of Xiuyan can go out for a stroll.

As soon as the young master of the Zhang family said he wanted to go into the mountains, the little girls jumped three feet high, forcing their elder brother to take him with him.So when Xiuyan and Daiyu were all dressed up and were going to go out with their cousin, there were already no less than 20 people standing in the yard of the Zhang family, and half of them were young girls.

Xiuyan and Daiyu wore coarse clothes on purpose, and they didn't have any pearls or jade jewelry on their bodies, but they still looked particularly eye-catching when standing among those little girls.

Lizheng heard that the county magistrate's daughter was going to pick fruit in the mountains, fearing that something serious would happen, he asked his daughter-in-law to follow, and told him to leave everything alone, except for the two young ladies who had to be protected.

A group of people walked out of the village in a mighty way, and in less than half a stick of incense to the east, there was a long stretch of old mountain.

Lizheng's daughter-in-law smiled and said, "Girls, don't underestimate our Xiniang Village. There are beautiful mountains and clear waters here, and there is no shortage of food all year round. Hey, just a few years ago, a few wolves appeared in the mountains and disturbed the village. pregnancy."

Xiuyan felt that Daiyu was clenching her hand, and gave the girl a comforting smile: "Don't worry, with my cousin here, let alone a few wolves, even a few tigers will be safe and sound."

Lizheng's daughter-in-law peeked at Zhang Yi who was walking in front, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Miss Xing said it was thanks to brother Zhang Yi. It was also this time last year, and the wolf was so hungry for some reason. Unexpectedly, when they entered the village in broad daylight, Brother Zhang Yi and Master Zhang subdued those wolf cubs with three punches and two kicks, which can be regarded as a face to our village head of Xiniang. Otherwise, how could the admiral of the southeast navy have taken a fancy to Zhang Brother Yi? And once he joins the army, he will be the captain, not that little soldier."

Daiyu quietly grabbed Xiuyan's cuff, and asked in a low voice, "So that's why my cousin joined the army?"

Xiuyan smiled lightly and said: "Actually, my cousin has long wanted to go to the army, but my aunt is reluctant to let him go out. I heard my cousin secretly say that he asked for it himself. As for the military admiral, he made an exception and accepted his cousin."

Daiyu lamented the benevolence and righteousness of the Xing and Zhang families. If it was another family, the stepmother would suppress the non-biological eldest son to go out to make contributions, and most of them would be drowned in rumors.But the third aunt of the Xing family didn't know that. This woman really loved the son born to her husband's original spouse. Even though the third aunt now had her own flesh and blood, she still loved Zhang Yi in general.

Everyone in Xiniang Village also knew this, so no one was gossiping, only envious of the good life of the third aunt of the Xing family.Married to a husband who loves her dearly, the eldest son is filial, the youngest son is smart, the key is that her natal family can borrow strength.

Everyone stood at the foot of the old mountain and looked back at the village. They saw that the doors of every house were facing the long bridge, and the windows were facing Yuanfu. There were many miscellaneous trees in the middle, like a natural ink painting.Daiyu has been in the deep boudoir for a long time, and she has never seen such a scene before, and she feels refreshed all over, and even her heart troubles have gone away.

The girls were all behind Xiuyan Daiyu at the beginning, and three or five of them gathered together, chattering and commenting on the dresses of the two young ladies, not too much, seeing that Xiuyan and Daiyu were the same as normal, there were not many Two arms, many eyes.Among them, a courageous girl stepped forward and told the Xiuyan sisters authoritatively which tree could bear fruit and which grass could be used as medicine.

The more people walked, the more rugged the mountain road became, but it didn't affect everyone's enthusiasm in the slightest.Not long after, Zhang Yi, the leader, came back with a snow-white fat rabbit in one hand.When the girls saw that it was Zhang Yi, some of them blushed and ran away, and some of them pretended to be calm and kept silent.

"Sisters are lucky tonight." Zhang Yi smiled and pushed up the snow-white meat dumpling.

The snow-white fur of the rabbit's body was pulled by Zhang Yi, so the two long ears were particularly straight, and the small cherry red eyes looked pitifully at Xiuyan, and then turned to Daiyu after a while. The legs are swayed towards people, as if begging for mercy.

"Sister Xing, this rabbit is so pitiful, let's let it go!" Daiyu looked soft-hearted, and couldn't help but want to plead for the fat rabbit.

Xiuyan mischievously stretched out her finger and poked the fat rabbit's soft belly. The rabbit was covered in itchy flesh. Although its ears were being pulled, it was twisting and twisting all over its body. A fine rabbit.

Xiuyan's heart was moved, and she deliberately said to Daiyu: "What do you do with it, the spicy rabbit diced I made is good, I will cook this dish at night, I will keep it and you will want to eat it after eating it."

The rabbit in Zhang Yi's hand was startled for a moment, and then kicked like crazy.

Daiyu also sensed something was wrong: "This, this rabbit"

Xiuyan borrowed a little girl's bamboo basket, and took out a jade-colored handkerchief from her waist, tied the rabbit's front legs tightly, and tied the other part of the handkerchief to the rattan of the bamboo basket.Zhang Yi refused to make his cousin tired, "I'll carry it for you."

Xiuyan put the small bamboo basket on her left arm, and said with a smile to Zhang Yi: "Cousin would like to shoot more pheasants, Zhengde likes it." After coming out, Xiuyan stretched out her little finger to tap the head, after several times, the fat rabbit was defeated, and the one hit by Xiuyan was dizzy and huddled in the corner of the small basket listlessly.

Suddenly bursts of cheers came from the front, and the girls, not to be outdone, rushed up to watch the excitement.Lizheng's daughter-in-law hurriedly said to Xiuyan Daiyu: "Brother Zhang Yi must have caught some big prey, let's go, let's take a look!"
