Seventh Pagoda

During the holidays, seven aunts and eight aunts, three housekeepers inside and three housekeepers outside, and all kinds of relatives, friends and old friends who can't get along with each other, all come out in a hurry. There is nowhere to move a foot.

Fortunately, Yang's mother managed the house well, even the firewood room was tidy and clean, the split pine firewood was stacked one by one, and bedding was laid on the spot, which could make do for a few nights.

What kind of sleeping method makes people feel difficult, Feng Yuwei and Jia Liang are far apart.

Yuanba was dishonest in his sleep, and when he was sleepy, he swung his foot over and could kill people, so he simply lifted him out and threw him into a small corner of the firewood room. It didn't count if he was wrapped in bedding. Press people down to prevent fleeing under the quilt at night.

The rest, except Jing Fulin and Yang Yulin, chose a better place to settle in another place, and they were all huddled together like radishes to keep each other warm.

In the middle of the night, he smelled the aroma of roasted chicken. Yuanba was still in a dream, and his saliva was stimulated by the aroma, and he almost choked himself to death.

Mother Yang sneaked her head in and whispered: "Yu'er, mother has prepared some supper, and there are still guests in the front hall, so you eat slowly, and the tea is also prepared, for fear of accumulating food at night, and relieve the tiredness. "

After saying "squeak", he closed the door, and then went to the front hall to receive guests.

The firewood house is in the southwest corner of the yard, and it is brightly lit on all sides, making the whole room bright, so there is no need to light candles.

Liangfu waited for Yang's mother to close the door, and jumped up from the bunk with a wheel, shouting: "Roast chicken!"

Yang Yulin silently stroked her forehead and nodded silently.

Liangfu's movement awakened the gluttonous ghosts, and the three of them gathered around the big food plate, gnawing on a roast chicken in each hand, as if a hungry wolf had been reincarnated, revealing their vicious looks.

Liangfu gnawed his mouth full of oil, and muttered while gnawing: "It's delicious, I'll prepare a generous gift next time, this time I'm in a hurry, I only prepared a few small gifts, I'm really sorry for such a delicious roast chicken... ..."

Yang Yulin chewed carefully, tore a few pieces of tender meat from the wings and handed them to Jing Fulin, asking Liangfu, "What kind of gift? Didn't we spend all our money a long time ago? Where did you get the gift from?"

Liangfu wiped the oil from his mouth, and was about to reach for the second roast chicken when Fu Dali slapped it down, and replied angrily: "I got it from the governor's mansion. Didn't that dumb guard accompany Xie Ziyou to the study room? Our son is drinking tea, we are idle, so we just wandered around..."

On the way of shopping, I took a rich and noble snuff bottle with glazed jade hall, an ancient pottery painted chicken, a grape cup carved with rhinoceros horn, a pink celadon glazed phoenix smoker, a white jade carved with double phoenix patterns, and a pair of phoenix nine. Ink, a sapphire carved phoenix head and a chi handle, and an ivory carved phoenix in a bamboo brush holder, there are eight pieces in total.

Which one is not a treasure handed down for hundreds of years?Xie Ziyou wasn't careful either, he just let it go loose, benefiting Liangfu and the others for nothing.

Liangfu got cheap and acted like a good boy: "How can you come to the door empty-handed for the New Year's Eve? Coincidentally, these things look good, and they are hidden in the sleeves, so they fit well."

Yang Yulin: "..."

Ruan Tuanjin was let into the house, and the Ruyi boat was taken away, Liangfu was let into the house, and the eight major pieces were taken away... With such a method, Xie Ziyou thought that he would never dare to let people into the mansion casually...

He ate the roast chicken full, drank tea, and lay down contentedly touching his round belly. He heard the sound of gongs and drums in the distance outside the house, in twos and threes. It will be fun tomorrow night."

Appreciating lanterns on the Lantern Festival is a great harmony in the world, but the customs are slightly different in different places.The Lantern Festival in Yangjia Town lasts for five days.

On the twelfth day of the first lunar month, the gongs and drums that had been dusty for a year reappeared in the sky, and a sacrificial ceremony was held for "consecration".

On the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, the candidate for the lion dance is selected, bathed in incense, which is to "invite the lion".

On the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, a grand lion dance ceremony is held at the home of the most prestigious elder in the family, for the purpose of "Golden Lion Smelling Wax".

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, every household of the Golden Lion dances. Some elders hold lanterns and say goodbye to the lions, praying for peace and prosperity, and good luck.

On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, every household carries various lanterns and walks around the entire village according to the established route, measuring every inch of land and rivers with their feet, and finally goes to the temple to worship and remember their ancestors. over the light".

Today is the twelfth day of the first lunar month, after the consecration and sacrificial ceremony, three or two urchins secretly climbed onto the incense table, took the gongs and drums in their hands, spread out in all directions, and beat the adults behind their backs.

Although it is not yet a climate, but like this unstoppable drumbeat, the hearts of the people have leaked signs of noise and boiling.

The group of people listened enthusiastically, and they all poked their heads out from under the quilt, and looked at Yang Yulin fixedly, as if he had the feeling of a storyteller coaxing a group of children to sleep.

The door opened again with a "squeak", and a generous and honest uncle bowed his body, put his hands in his sleeves, and walked in while muttering: "Yang Zizi, why don't you go to see your aunts and aunts when you come back? Missing you for a long time..."

When he looked up and saw that the firewood room was full of heads, he was startled: "Yang... Yang bastard... what are you doing?"

Like counting radishes, Yang Yulin pointed at Liang Fu and said, "Little Liangzi." Then she pointed at Fu Dali and said, "Xiao Dazi."

Just counting "little jar", "little comb" and "little jar" over and over again, after a long buffer, he finally pointed to Jing Fulin and introduced hesitantly: "This is... Ah Fu?"

Yang Yulin recognized one of his uncles, and ran out excitedly after recognizing his uncle: "Your mother just said that there is not enough manpower. I am so busy. I will let your mother come and see..."

The town is big, and the lion dance team runs from the east to the west, and there must be a place to rest, change shifts, and have tea, so a spot is set up in the southeast, northwest, and this family is called the "headman".

During the five-day Lantern Festival, it is necessary to prepare running water mats, and prepare hot soup and hot meals at any time to entertain guests.Being selected as the "Headman" is a very honorable thing, and every family in the town competes for the "Headman" every year.

This year it's the turn of Yang Yulin's family, one can imagine how busy the Yang family is now.

His uncle left in a hurry, and came back in a hurry, took his second and third uncles, lifted the quilt when they entered the house, and drove everyone out one by one, two, three, four, five, six, seven.

First, Liangfu and the others were fooled by this posture and didn't know what happened, and second, they were afraid that they were all from Yang Yulin's side, so they dared not make any moves easily.

When I came back to my senses, I realized that I was already busy serving tea, delivering water, and serving clothes. The division of labor was well-organized and orderly. It was logical that I became a helper. I worked hard all night...

Yang Yulin quickly intercepted Jing Fulin, if the emperor brought tea and water to their family, it would really be a premature death.

Cleverly dragging Jing Fulin through the window and slipping away, he sneaked to the door of a house, went around to the backyard and went in. He saw a very spacious courtyard, which must be a wealthy family.

Yang Yulin led Jing Fulin into a room, lay down on the couch, patted the quilt by her side, and waved to Jing Fulin: "Come, come, rest quickly, from tomorrow You've got a lot going on, so take the time to get a good night's sleep."

Jing Fulin was obedient, went to lie down, and couldn't help asking: "Are you familiar with this family?"

Yang Yulin was so sleepy that she could hardly keep her eyes open, and she returned to him in a daze: "Huzi must be messing around right now, so he can't even care about going home, so let's borrow his house for a while, it doesn't matter..."

Jing Fulin had a lump in his heart, huh?Tiger?Who is this?In the room next to you, just sleep casually like this...

As expected, Huzi didn't care about going home, so he wandered all over the country, and during the annual lantern festival, more than 300 days and nights, he could make a fuss like this.

Beating gongs, beating drums and firing cannons, chasing after a group of half-grown children, it was not too embarrassing, and finally had enough trouble to go home, the chickens in the yard were ready to crow, and they were still in high spirits, and they rushed to their room with great strides.

While undressing, he ran to the bed, and was about to lay down on the couch, but someone used something to support his spine.

As soon as Huzi turned around, he saw a person lying on his bed, poking his back with a fan bone. It was still dark, Huzi was startled, and quickly jumped away: "Ah, ah, ah! What is there? on my bed!"

There was something wriggling back and forth in the bed, and it was easy to get her head out. Yang Yulin was a little annoyed: "What's the noise, it's like a little girl..."

Huzi knew it was Yang Yulin as soon as he heard it: "Good guy, you crawled on my bed in the middle of the night? What? Throwing yourself into your arms? Remembering my brother?"

Yang Yulin threw a porcelain pillow at him, and Yang Tianhu rushed to catch it, holding it dangerously in his arms: "My ancestor, this is a treasure, if you break it for me today, my father can break my leg! "

Yang Yulin was annoyed by his noise: "Yang Tianhu, say one more thing—"

Yang Tianhu knew that he was the most impatient to be harassed to sleep, so before he finished speaking, he hurriedly replied: "It's ok, ancestor, please rest well, I'll go, I'll go right away."

Jing Fulin half-lyed on the couch, and the wind entered the quilt. Yang Yulin squinted her eyes, put her arms around Jing Fulin's neck, dragged him into the quilt, tucked him in, and continued to sleep warmly. The trace of inexplicable irritability in my heart disappeared instantly.

This movement is so smooth and proficient that Yang Tianhu's eyelids twitched. Words such as "the spring night is bitter and the short day is high" and "the lotus tent is warm for the spring night" can't help but pop up in his mind. Come.

He rubbed his eyes hard: "Well, I'm tired tonight and lost my eyesight, it must be like this..."

After the chicken in Yang Tianhu's yard had sung for three times, Yang Yulin stretched comfortably and dragged Jing Fulin to eat breakfast.

Yang Tianhu is dressed in frost-colored regular clothes, made of flying satin as soft as cotton, engraved with silver thread, and embroidered with pearls the size of rice grains. At first glance, it looks plain and ordinary, but in fact it is extravagant, which suits his family's status as a big business ...

In front of him was a basket of crab roe buns and several plates of delicate snacks. Yang Yulin snatched them away before he could eat them with his chopsticks. Yang Tianhu took a closer look at Jing Fulin who was following Yang Yulin. Lu hesitated, but did not ask after all.

Yang Yulin didn't care about 21, [-], and ate as soon as she picked up something, and while eating, she asked Jing Fulin to eat. Yang Tianhu's breakfast was snatched away, so she had to order the kitchen to make new ones.

Wiping her mouth when she was full, Yang Yulin asked, "Where's your father?"

Yang Tianhu was still hungry, and he felt a little angry: "Isn't it your turn to be the head of your family this year? My father has nothing to worry about. He will go to your house to stay when he gets up early and returns late. What dishes to serve, what wine to use, what to paste Lantern paper, teach by hand."

Yang Yulin snorted: "Isn't that right, your family has been the leader for three years in a row, and your father can't wait to build three more yards, east, west, north, well, all work, and the whole town can be managed."

Yang Tianhu didn't sound like that: "Hey, what do you mean?"

Yang Yulin drank tea leisurely: "It's nothing interesting, I'm praising you for having such a good father, with a warm heart, and a generous and chivalrous person like your father, how did you give birth to such a cheapskate?"

Yang Tianhu patted the table: "How can I be stingy! I will let you sleep in my bed! I will also let you eat my favorite crab roe buns! How can I be stingy!"

Yang Yulin curled her lips: "Tsk tsk, look, look, it's like growing up together, and it's not worth a basket of crab roe buns, which makes you so angry. For a cage of crab roe buns! Crab roe buns! Think Back then, I saved you—”

Yang Tianhu wailed suddenly: "Ahh! Shut up!"

He jumped up and pinched Yang Yulin's neck: "You know you grew up together! You eat mine, drink mine, sleep with mine, and I'll give you whatever you want! I treated you so well in the past, but now I've fed the dogs and said Don't mention it! Don't mention it! You are heartless, spit it out for me! Spit it out!"

Yang Yulin jumped away early, and the two made a fuss.

Jing Fulin knocked the teacup, Yang Tianhu paused, and Yang Yulin "stabbed" to Jing Fulin: "Emperor...Ah Fu, are you in a hurry? I'll take you out for a walk?"

Jing Fulin's face was scumbag: "Go back."

Yang Yulin made a bitter face: "I can't go back! They will grab me to work as soon as I go back. I will feel sorry for you when you are exhausted..."

Jing Fulin was a little unhappy. He vaguely sensed that Yang Yulin was quite different in front of this tiger than in front of himself. She was more lively and even dared to joke.

Jing Fulin knew it was a joke, but Yang Tianhu was so terrified when he heard it, he was so frightened that he almost ate his hands.Trembling, pointing at Yang Yulin, then at Jing Fulin: "You, you..."

Knowing what he was thinking, Yang Yulin waved her hand: "That's right, this is my daughter-in-law, and she is a woman disguised as a man. Doesn't she look good?"

Yang Tianhu's eyes widened, he looked Jing Fulin up and down carefully, and finally nodded: "It looks good."

Yang Yulin asked again: "How can such a beautiful daughter-in-law let him work? Are you right?"

Yang Tianhu nodded again: "Yes."

Yang Yulin continued her efforts: "Don't tell my mother."

Yang Tianhu nodded honestly: "Okay."

The crab roe buns were served again, Yang Tianhu went to sit down at the table, and focused on eating the buns.

Jing Fulin frowned: "Did he believe it?"

Yang Yulin covered her mouth and kept laughing, then nodded: "He believed it."

Jing Fulin: "..."

Thus, Jing Fulin's first impression of Yang Tianhu changed from "an annoying childhood sweetheart" to "the stupid son of the landlord's family"...
