"Mother, really?" Liu Guixiang couldn't hold his breath and jumped down from his chair with joy.
"Cough!" Madam Liu quickly coughed and hinted at her.
Liu Guixiang vomited a small fragrant tongue, and Liu Xiucai, who was stretching his face, made a face.
"Huh, you see, you are used to it." Liu Xiucai glared at his little daughter.
Seeing that Hibiscus was done, she was relieved, and pulled Mu Ruosang, who was standing by the silly side, to kneel down and worship three times: "Godfather, godmother."
The two shouted in unison, Liu Xiucai touched his beard happily, remembering the bamboo leaf green wine sent by Hibiscus in his heart, and accepted the dry son. It is not necessary to break the wine in the future.
"Godfather, godmother, this year's New Year, I want to take two of my sisters to go to our house to celebrate the New Year." Mu-Hizhi eased and climbed up the pole again.
It took him a long time to realize this strategy. It is okay to be a boy himself. He is for Mu Rouzang. He has a younger sister in the family.
Now that she is looking for a good maid, she will never be accused of having a mother or daughter.
"Well, that's not the case, mother, why not ask two people to come to my house for Chinese New Year, and the family will have a happy year." Liu Xiucai wouldn't bother the two children.
The New Year is not as usual as eating and visiting relatives. The table is exquisite. There are eight dishes at a table, from ravioli to vegetarian. Pay attention.
"Don't push back, but now that you recognize me as a godfather, your godmother is obliged to teach your sister, just come over there so that your sister can learn the noodles with two sisters." Liu Xiucai Seeing Hibiscus, he tried to persuade him and quickly explained.
"Yeah, your godfather is right. These things are usually prepared, and it is difficult to prepare them for the time being. Or come to my home for the New Year. Doesn't it mean that your godmother did not teach well?" kind.
"The boy respects, but we still have to sacrifice our ancestors that day ..." This ancestor sacrifice is also a major event, and Liu Xiu couldn't stop others.
"If not, you go to ancestors earlier, come over for lunch at noon, and go back after dinner at night." Anyway, the two villages are not far away, and the Mu family has a small donkey cart, so do n’t worry about the bad road. go.
"No, you remember that you had to come earlier that day, so I didn't have to stand on the door and wait." Master Liu laughed.
"Yes!" The two brothers and sisters responded respectfully.
Mu Rou Sang probably guessed the intention of Hibiscus. She honestly stood aside without any objection. After having lunch at Liu Xiucai's house, the two brothers and sisters drove the donkey cart to the main house.
"Brother, why did you choose Liu Xiucai's house?" Mu Rouzang was sitting on the donkey cart, shaking her feet.
Hibiscus slammed the donkey and drank the donkey to hurry. "The elder brother considered it carefully, Lizheng's house was too far away, and the village head's grandfather's daughter-in-law went out once a year. It ’s rare to have a gentleman, but his heart is good. He is also a good person, not to mention that there are only two daughters in the family. "
"Oh, my brother guessed that the husband would agree ?!" Mu Rouzang blinked and teased him.
"Oh, you're just a kid, your brother said that school is the most important thing, and it's not too early to find a for you." Mu-Hi's finger flicked her forehead.
Mu Rouzang put out a small hand and rubbed his small forehead: "I know, not to mention the good news of Mr.'s family, there are also people with heads and faces in Qili and Baxiang."
Hibiscus turned to look at Mu Rouzang, who was sitting beside him, "Hehe, you know that you have a head and a face!"
"Brother, why do you help me find my godfather and godmother?" Mu Rouzang quietly despised herself, clearly seeing why she asked, could she say that she was so happy, she just wanted to hear her brother tell her.
"Sister, our family does not have elders to teach, my brother must be in the future. In the future, my sister will eventually marry. I don't want others to say that my sister has a mother and a mother."
The answer of Hibiscus is very sad, he unconsciously shook the little donkey whip in his hand. He has inquired from many parties to know that other people ’s marriage is not willing to marry an uneducated girl. His life will only get better and better. After being admitted to the talents, the land in the home will also be exempted from part of the tax, life will be better, and the scope of choosing a spouse for Mu Rouxang will be wider.
"Brother, if you are a serious confidante, do you think that our family will invite Li Zheng and the village chief to come here?"
"Well, it is reasonable to invite all the villagers to put on a running table for three days and three nights, but we are not suitable for filial piety, please invite some familiar ones to witness it."
Hibiscus' thinking is no longer confined to the small village, his vision is getting longer and longer.
"Brother, what do you think of this? We have already released" Xiaoxiang "to renovate the house. It is better to wait for the new house to be formally saluted. First, on the occasion of the renovation, ask the villagers to drink to announce this. The whole village has a testimony, and no one dares to talk about it in the future. "Mu Rouzang and Hibiscus went to Lizheng's house. For the lowest official in the big Zhou Dynasty, Mu Rouzang responded dignifiedly. .
By the way, I met Liu Guizhi's fiance, Wei Anping. He was a handsome boy with fair skin.
However, people do not want to see the talented woman. Mu Rouzang touched her nose. She looked up at forty-five angles and looked at the sky. In addition to remembering a "Moon Moonlight in front of the bed, it looks like two pairs of shoes. Look up at the moon. . ", I ca n’t think of anything amazing.
Mu Anzhi was taken away by Wei Anping, but Mu Rouzang was left alone facing Li Zheng's wife with fangs.
"I often listen to my brother, Mrs. Wei is the kindest, and today it is true that the rumors are true." Mu Rou Sang, Mu Rou Sang, there is still something to learn about this ass.
Mrs. Wei laughed so much that she could not see her teeth. Listen to Mu Rouzang? It is not the name of Xiande that was passed on by his younger son.
"Yo, where are you, little girl, your little mouth is so sweet."
Mu Rouzang took a folded piece of red paper from her arms. There was no way. Her family had no gift list, but could only fold the two pieces of red paper together, and wrote the name of the gift.
Regarding Li Zheng's family not being able to cope with it casually, she handed the gift list to Mrs. Wei: "Country folks don't understand etiquette, and hope Mrs. Wei will never dislike it."
Mrs. Wei had just picked it up at will. As Mu Rouzang said, the two siblings were just rural people, and the left and right were just two live chickens and a few pounds of eggs.
When she opened the gift list, she couldn't catch her eyes, and used red paper to deal with it.
Mu Rouzang stood aside, peeping at the corner of his eyes, Yu Guang peeped at Mrs. Wei. The expression that he didn't care was getting more and more surprised, Mu Rouzang knew that the gift was right.
At this moment, Mrs. Wei did not dare to despise the little the opposite side, and look at this gift list. In addition to the rice, noodles, bacon, and bacon in the daily routine, three more cotton cloths, three satins, a pair of silver bracelets, and a ring , A hostel, five pounds of beef, a pair of live hens, a pair of live rabbits, ten pounds of pork, ten pounds of eggs, two boxes of snacks.
Mrs. Wei's father-in-law manages hundreds of people in several villages, and often gets close to Mrs. Xian. The gift in her hand is quite good among the rich in the county seat.
"I can't believe that this year, I can still eat the beef of the girl's blessing." Mrs. Wei is a mouthful, the more rare and the more expensive she is, the more she likes to eat.
In the court, farmers were valued but business was valued, and this cattle was the most valued by farmers. The law stipulated that it was not allowed to slaughter strong cattle without permission. Once found, they would be cut off regardless of the cause.
Mu Rouzang only smiled sloppily: "This year, my family helped a grandfather in the capital to do something, and I rewarded a few pounds of beef. I was thinking that my brother and I were young, and I was afraid I could n’t afford it. Make up, and heard that Madam loved it so much, they brought it quietly. "
She replied carefully, without disgusting Madam Wei, and pointing out the source of the beef.
Mrs. Wei smiled even more happily on the face, and felt a little more affectionate: "Then I'm disrespectful, I haven't eaten this stuff for several years, or the girl my family married to the state capital the year before last. He returned with dozens of pounds. "
"Madam is really blessed! Only husbands have such a blessing."
"Yo, your little girl is pleasing, but unfortunately, both of my girls are married and have no old daughter." Mrs. Wei laughed.
The two chatted for a while, and Li An was leading in with Wei Anping from the outside, and Hibiscus walked to the rear.
Several people saw each other again, and the two brothers and sisters wanted to resign.
"Oh, how's that? The two of you stay and have dinner together." Mrs. Wei was obviously very satisfied with the New Year's gift sent by the Mu family, so she opened her mouth for dinner.
"Thank you, Madam, but my sister and I have been out for a day. My chickens and pigs are really hungry. I am also worried that the pigs will bite the wooden pens." Hibiscus half jokingly explained why he could not stay.
"Okay, you can go back first. The two children are not safe at night, and they walk around empty-footed. My family in Anping has been bragging about your studies." Li Zheng looked at the hours, and did not intend to leave them for dinner.
Mrs. Wei had to do nothing, and ordered people to prepare a gift and put it on the donkey cart, and repeatedly told Mu Hizhi that she must find her son to play when she was free. Then they let them go.
The two brothers and sisters resigned, and when it was time for them to get home, Mu Rouzang burned a little stir-fried meat and fry a vegetable to eat.
Mu Rouzang, after eating, stood in front of the stove and looked at the bowl of hibiscus: "Brother, we have to take the year presents of the village head, Zhu Tuto and Eryi family tonight while it is dark."
Hibiscus sighed: "Okay, it's all according to my sister. Tomorrow we will spend a lot of time to send uncle to the uncle."
If it were n’t for the annual gift given to several families, it would be better than Mu Yun's family.
Fortunately, the weather was cold and it had just snowed. The Muyun's courtyard door was closed tightly. The two brothers and sisters finally managed to send the gift and received a gift.
Qin Er's family ’s gift was ten catties. Brother and sister, one pair of thin cotton shoes, two pairs of single cloth shoes, can only be put on after waiting to wear. Made a school towel with embroidered green bamboo leaves.
The return of Zhu Tuhu's family was not pork, but a piece of paper and a writing brush. This gift was considered good.
The village chief's family should pay attention to many things, two boxes of dim sum, a few new silk flowers, and a "Mencius". Although not old, it should be the old book of the village chief's younger son.
However, the arrival of Hibiscus was very new, and now he is already studying The Analects, and he will need to read Mencius when he is finished.
The two siblings couldn't stand on the ground today, and went home to wash the sticky bed and fell asleep.
Mu Rou Sang slept well all night, when the chicken barked three times and never woke up, it was already Chen Shi.
Hibiscus brought the breakfast to the table early, and entered the room to see Mu Rouxang lazily arching in the quilt: "Sister, was you tired yesterday?"
"Hmm!" She usually doesn't have that much activity in a few days, she doesn't say much energy, and dealing with those people is the most troublesome.
"Otherwise, my sister will sleep for a while, and my brother will go to the uncle's house alone to give a gift." Mu Hi's heartbroken his sister was tired.
"Brother, let's go together!" Well, she prepared a big gift for Mu Yun's family. Even if she took over, it was very hot.
"Brother, you are getting better and better with millet porridge." Shenma gentleman is far away from the kitchen, how far is the feces, and men who know how to cook know the hard work of women, so as long as Hibiscus rests at home, Breakfast must have been made by him.
"My sister likes to eat it, my brother will cook it for you in the future." Hibiscus took a sip and was very satisfied. Sure enough, my sister was right. The millet porridge was a bit rough, and adding glutinous rice was not only more fragrant but also soft less.
It is not clear what Mu Shou wants to do now. What is Mu Shou wanting to send to the uncle's family: "Right, younger sister, the uncle's annual courtesy?"
