Chapter 177 Declare your sovereignty over her
The good mood brought by my father's approval was not long before it stopped, giving way to irritability and hidden worries.
Zeng Wei became more and more aware that as long as he didn't marry Huan'er into the house for a day, the boy named Shao would not stop for a day.
Thinking that he is now close to Su Song and Su Hui, Zeng Wei still gave him three points of thin face in front of Yao Huan, and praised him for his brush with crispy and deliciousness.
But I have to talk to him as soon as possible and make the words clear.
A few days later, Zeng Wei walked from the Imperial College to the Imperial College and found his uncle Cai Yingwen.
"Uncle, can you study in the school today?"
"Are, I sent it to you at Chenshi."
After Uncle Cai moved back to Shen Fuzhi, he felt refreshed when he remarried.
I feel even more refreshed when I see a talented niece and son-in-law.
Zeng Wei said: "Tonight I have a poetry meeting in Yuxianlou. Here I go to Dongshuimen to go on the way. I may not have seen Ruzhou for a long time. Why don't I pick him up today and take him around the New Year's goods stalls. After playing for half an hour, I will send him back to my uncle and aunt's place. I will go to the poetry meeting again."
Cai Yingwen naturally agreed. He sighed in his heart that Huan'er's luck is really good. A good child like Silang, who is humane, can't find a second person among the young masters of Zhu Zi, Kaifeng.
At the end of the Wei Dynasty, following Cai Yingwen's guidance, Zeng Wei entered Fushunfang.
Zeng Wei had been in contact with noble children from the capital since he was a child. He was particularly sensitive to the manners of young men.
From the time when I first saw Shao Qing, Zeng Wei felt that this person was not as shabby as a small family.
In the following few times, Zeng Wei discovered that even when he stood beside Su Xi or talked with Su Song, the boy named Shao was not at a disadvantage from his demeanor to his words.
Just like in a painting, if Su Song is like a mountain that stretches across the distant mountains, Su Hui is like pine and bamboo nearby, then Shao Qing is the smoke and water river, which seems to be humble and leaves blank space, but is actually clear and sparse? It is not comparable to the weeds and gravels on the painting.
Zeng Wei thought while walking? Following the increasingly clear sound of the boy's chirping, he came to the door of Shao's house.
He didn't even knock on the door? The gate of the courtyard opened first? Shao Qing was calling out the boys who were absent from school to go out. He turned around and saw Zeng Wei. Before he could show his surprised gaze, Yao Ruzhou behind him had already rushed over.
"Uncle Fourth!"
Ru Zhou saw Zeng Wei? She was as excited as a little lieutenant to see her master.
"Be good? Today, the fourth uncle will pick you up and go to the market on the bridge with you."
Although Yao Huan moved to Donghua Gate and came back to see Ruzhou every few days? Cai Yingwen and Shen Fuzhi became more and more affection for this little baby who had no father and mother? But Ruzhou still felt like he was living under someone else's roof. He sometimes remembered his sister's promise to take him to get married, but he was often confused whether this promise would float like a kite in the air.
When he saw Zeng Wei, Ru Zhou was so happy that he heard that he was taking him to play. He was about to drag Zeng Wei's sleeve away.
Zeng Wei patted his shoulder: "A moment, Uncle Fourth will say a few words to your husband."
When Shao Qing heard this, he said: "Since the boys have left school, Mr. Zeng will go to the yard to have a cup of tea?"
Zeng Wei said: "No need to be so troublesome. I'm here today? I'm just telling Brother Shao? Not only am I in love with Huan'er? The marriage ceremony is also under preparation for my father and mother. She always wants to go to Zeng's house to be my wife. How could she really linger in the market and food business? If Brother Shao is very interested in the art of cooking, he can study in the house. Do not go to Zhulin Street to do bad things."
Holding Yao Ruzhou in his hand, Zeng Wei felt that he was quite polite in his words.
Shao Qing looked at the handsome and heroic face in front of him, and was filled with emotions for a moment.
Those who possess a treasure must be wary of the covetousness of others.
The relationship between men and women is even more selfish.
Shao Qing, he asked himself that he was not a saint, and he had tried every kind of temptation at the beginning. How could he give in if he knew he had any hope?
Therefore, at this moment, after understanding Zeng Wei's implicit meaning, Shao Qing did not think he was too abrupt.
However, when Yao Huan saw Su Song's iron bucket that could bake the beans fragrant, and when he saw that the brush was crispy, he made it with inexpensive ingredients. The happy and joyful look on his face was sincere and cute.
Zeng Wei is the man who likes her, shouldn’t he be happy with her?
She is a lark, not a cage parrot.
Shao Qing whispered: "Young Master Zeng, Miss Yao is so good. It is understandable that before she gets married, she will do something that is caused by her own interest. She is happy, so you should be happy."
Zeng Wei's heart was rising.
But he still stared at Shao Qing with a smile: "I know how good she is, so I am better than others. She is interested in me, and I will definitely let her live a happy life."
After saying that, Zeng Wei lowered his head and rushed to Ruzhou, "Let's go, let's go to Qiao City."
Two figures, one tall and one short, disappeared at the entrance of Fangkou.
Shao Qing looked up at the osmanthus tree beside him whose leaves had fallen, and turned around and closed the yard door.
...
The winter solstice is as big as the year.
Looking at the various festivals from the beginning to the end of the year, the New Year, the Lantern Festival, the Spring Festival, the Cold Food Festival, the Qingming Festival, the Dragon Boat Festival, the Chinese New Year, the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Double Ninth Festival, and the most important thing for Kaifeng people is the Winter Solstice.
It takes three days before and after the winter solstice.
The prime minister followed the empress dowager and the official family to worship the sky outside Nanxun Gate. There were bustling cars and horses everywhere in the city, and the market was lively. Women and children were bright in new clothes, neighbors and neighbors gave each other snacks, and scholars, farmers, industry and commerce were all celebrating the winter scene.
Kaifeng's saying "Fat Winter and Thin Year" means that ordinary people spend money on the winter solstice, buy wine, meat and banquets, brocade, satin and new clothes. By the end of the twelfth lunar month, they have no money to celebrate the New Year.
Officials did not have morning courts, and most common people prepared ancestor worship ceremonies and family reunion banquets at home. Most of the restaurants and restaurants in each restaurant are closed.
But Yao Huan's shop took on a business.
Liu Xi, the young coach of Xihe Road, who was preparing to spend the New Year with his mother and her aunts and sisters in Beijing, gave the order.
After Li Shishi and Yao Huan shared a small building, Liu Shaoshuai visited him several times and sent the two little girls bought by his aunt from his family to Li Shishi to learn the piano and songs.
Although the Liu family was a military general and the female relatives stayed in the capital, they rarely had contact with the wives of the civil servants who had nostrils on the sky. However, some generals who returned from the border to the front office of the central hall would occasionally go to the Liu Mansion to visit Mrs. Liu. If the Liu family wanted to entertain a banquet, they would always have decent family tricks.
When Liu Xi came for the first time, Yao Huan was a little embarrassed, after all, she had once criticized him.
Unexpectedly, Liu Xi took the initiative to mention the past, and sincerely apologized to Yao Huan for a while. The two met and smiled and let go of the past grudges.
Yao Huan even sighed that Liu Zhongwu's eldest son, at present, has a good mind and ability. Thirty years later, he suffered repeated defeats on the battlefield of the Anti-Jin battlefield. His name is always connected to words such as "abandoned the city" and "abandoned the army", which may not be his own responsibility? If this person is really a coward, why can he still know Xiangyang until the ninth year of Shaoxing, which is the sphere of influence of the Yue family army.
A few days before the winter solstice, Liu Xi came again.
When Yao Huan talked about the food he was about to buy and the place he sent, he was solemn.
It turned out that the Liu family paid 300 trump cards out of their own pocket every year, and rented a large garden next to the official Futian Courtyard, which housed thirty orphans of thirty orphans of Xihe Road soldiers.
The usual expenses of this orphanage are based on the land purchased by the Liu family and the profits of some senior Western Army generals raising funds in Kaifeng Guesthouse.
"Miss Yao made some clips, croakers and flower balls, so that when the dolls worship their ancestors, each of them would not look shabby in their bowls. After kowtowed to the father in heaven, they would eat the snacks, so I'm sorry to make it better. If it can be colorful, it would be better."
Yao Huan understands it.
The heavens and man are separated forever, and the quiet nostalgia may be better than the heart-wrenching cry.
Children who have lost their father cannot lose their ordinary pleasures anymore.
