The night is dim, and the lanterns are reflected in the water. Illuminate the red sky of the pavilion and the starry sky in winter.
Between water and clouds, looking down from the window on the second floor, there is no ice in the water in the man-made lake. The old man who came a few days ago, his family also arrived here. At first it was strange, but later I saw someone on the lake during the day. Use a charcoal brazier to bake it, and the little ice will be picked up.
At this time, a few lanterns were hung on the boat and placed in the lake to illuminate, setting off the independent pavilion in the middle of the lake, reflecting the starry sky in winter, hazy and dreamy.
Sixteen or seven-year-old little girl, with two horn braids on her head, her little hand on the window, her feet looking down, her big smart eyes blinking, full of curiosity.
"Grandpa, look, look, there are lanterns below, it's so beautiful." The little girl freed up a hand, pointed her arm straight down and turned her head to the old man excitedly.
The old man already knew the scenery below, but he still stood up, walked behind the little girl, looked at the place where the granddaughter was pointing, touched the granddaughter’s head, and said: "I have seen it, I have seen it, I feel good, in the future Just watch it often."
"Father, do you really want to retire?" a man sitting at the table asked when he heard what the old man said.
"Kang'er, it's not that I want to retire. This body is not as good as a day. It is better to find a place with a good view and take a leisurely time to admire the wind and the moon." When the old man said I was also a little helpless, seeing my granddaughter looking up at herself with a puzzled expression, and then said to her granddaughter:
"I didn’t know where to look before, but now I understand it, just here in the water and clouds, look at the scenery, and taste the deliciousness. You can watch it all day in the future. If you want to come, they can’t care about me asking for too much money. Wang’s girl, don’t you think?"
The following words are for the aunt Wang in the crowd. The aunt Wang hasn’t said anything yet, and the jujube and jujube who are waiting next to him nodded together, and the little jujube’s mouth is quick. You don't have to pay a penny, so dare you not listen to the Zhang family?"
"Haha, little girl, if you say this, don't let the Zhang family hear it, or you will definitely be driven away. The Zhang family today is not the same as the past. Tomorrow, the old man will let you see you. That child, you can have something to say when you go back after the New Year."
The old man didn't think that the Patriarch of the Zhang family would still be as afraid of things as before. If the Patriarch of the Zhang family did not have the ability, there must be an expert behind him.
Aunt Wang didn’t think the Zhang family was so great, she said to the side: "My lord, even if his Zhang family is stronger than before, he has a seventh-ranked loose official, but she won’t be in the eyes of others, just wait for the next year. Entering Beijing, don’t you want to stay at the Wang’s house? Otherwise, who will help him organize the poem and wine party?"
The old man looked at the person in charge sent by the Wang family this time, that is, Aunt Wang, a look of disappointment appeared in his eyes, and he shook his head and said, "If you still think so, don't go to see the children tomorrow. Look at Wang Zhang. How can ordinary people manage the appearance of the two Zhuangzi now?"
Aunt Wang did not dare to confront the old man, so she could only whisper in a low voice, "It's only a villager, is it possible to have great skills? There are only a hundred villagers, and it's up to the sky?"
Hearing this voice, the old man didn’t want to say more. He turned to his son and said, “Kang’er, you will also go and see tomorrow. Today, I don’t know what Zhang Wang’s two Zhuangzi looks like. Learn from your cousin. , Hiding in Xiao Luoshui, to learn the things on the dock."
"Father, the child knows, if Zhang Wang's Family Zhuangzi is different from other places, the people behind it must be very human." The man immediately stood up and said respectfully.
Seeing that his son is so sensible, the old man finally smiled with satisfaction. He sat down again and looked at the still slurping hot pot on the table. He picked up a roll of lamb slices with chopsticks, rinsed it, and dipped it in the plate. Sauce, eat it in your mouth, wait to swallow it, and say:
"This way of eating is really different from other places. The mutton melts in your mouth, and the meat also has other aromas. The smell is not smelled. I don't want to spend too many days. This way of eating It will spread."
"What the master said is that the concubine body lost a few teeth. I thought it was not easy to eat this meat. I don’t know if I put it in my mouth and chew it for a few times. Fair." An old lady on the table also rinsed a slice, praised there.
The old man’s son immediately rinsed two more slices and delivered them to the old lady’s plate. He said, "Mother, you can eat more if you like. There is also this meat, which is fat but not greasy, thin but not firewood. Try it."
While he was talking, he put a piece of braised pork for the old lady. It looked red, and there was no taste of red pond in his mouth. It was fried with white sugar and the meat was specially selected five-layered three-layered meat. The Shancha juice was deliberately put at the time.
The old lady looked at her son, her granddaughter, and then at the lively appearance of the house, she laughed happily, and said to the old man: "Master, I heard that the new magistrate of Sanshui County seems to be the same as Wang Zhang. There is some friction between the two families. It is better for the master to persuade them, in case the county magistrate uses any means to harm the family of Wang Zhang, it will be no good."
At this time, the old lady was a little worried about King Zhang's family. After all, as a county magistrate, Jia Shan Jia Yiheng was still somewhat capable.
When she was talking, she looked at the person in charge of the Wang’s family. The meaning was self-evident. The aunt Wang also knew why the old lady looked at her, but she pretended not to know. I listened anxiously, winking at each other, but didn't dare to say anything to protect anyone.
The old man groaned for a while and said, "Don't worry, this is the Chinese New Year. How can anyone who doesn't open their eyes make trouble for others at this time? Waiting for the Chinese New Year to give it a try first, then Zhang Zhong will have Juren. With his identity close to the capital, I will participate in Chunwei this year.
For a few months, as long as Zhang Wang's family and Zhuangzi are fine, relying on the people found for him in the capital, as long as he can show some ability, Zhuangzi will have no worries. "
"Father is right. This place is close to the capital, and if you have the status of a village tribute, you will be able to reach the capital immediately. It’s even more troublesome, but the ranking of this village tribute can’t be too low. Daddy might as well help think of a way.”
Kang'er also followed suit. His idea was that the people who helped the Zhang family on his own side would really like to live here when his father really wanted to live here, and the Zhang family would definitely take care of him.
The old man smiled and said: "Kang, you can't be a father for such things. If you look at the calligraphy and paintings on the wall, you can think of how much effort the Zhang family put in to confess the individual. Before the test , Zhang Zhong’s name must be known everywhere.
The recipe for growing vegetables in the winter is handed in. From now on, the people in the cold regions can eat more in winter. The Zhang family does not need any official rewards. It must be the name of the picture. "
Kang'er knows now. It turns out that the Zhuangzi had long planned. Since Zhang Zhong’s calligraphy and paintings are hanging in the Shuiyunjian restaurant, Xiao Luoshui will not be bad if he thinks about it. Some of them are better than the talented person who can't ask for it.
"Huh! I still don't believe that Zhang Zhong can get the first place in the test, one state, one first, how many states, and how many first years to come to the capital together? When Chunwei is so common Huh?"
The aunt Wang whispered again. She seemed to look down on Zhang Zhong, Zhang Xiaobao’s father. No matter what happened, she always mocked and ridiculed, but she didn’t mean not to eat the dishes on the table, even if Pick faults while eating.
The jujube and the jujube couldn't talk to each other, and the two of them could only speak in a low voice by themselves.
"Jujube, you can see the little boy tomorrow, what do you think the little boy looks like? Will he be as stupid as Zhang Zhong? When encountering a big scene, I will be too scared to speak?"
Xiaozao carefully thought about Zhang Zhong's appearance, wanted to overlap the images of Zhang Xiaobao and Zhang Zhong, and asked the big date next to him.
Jujube doesn’t seem to have as good imagination as the jujube. He couldn’t guess what Zhang Xiaobao looked like. He shook his head and said, “Where do you know, the little lady of the Wang family should be fun? When they arrive, they have to be entangled together, cry when they separate, and have been living in Zhang's house.
It would be nice for me to have such a person since I was a child, play together, grow up together, and when someone bullies me, he will help me out. I wash and cook for him, and then... Then..."
As he said, he couldn't tell the jujube, his voice became lower and lower, and his neck became red.
Xiaozao was stunned when he heard Dazao's words next to him, staring at the night outside, and reacting after a while, smiling at Dazao: "Dazao, do you want to grow up with Erkui in the house? Big? I know what you think."
"What nonsense? I'm talking about the little lady of the Wang family, Erkui's dull look, I just look down on him, how does he have anything to do with me? I never thought about him.
You don't know, last month, he went out to do things with the people in the mansion, but when he came back he wanted to catch fish, the river was frozen and he actually fell down. Do you think he stayed? In October, he himself..."
Dazao denied what Xiaozao said, saying that he didn't care about someone, and began to say what someone was doing like a few treasures, and Xiaozao was stunned again.
…
At night, many things always happen. In Zhang Xiaobao’s yard, Wang Juan was in a daze with his chin on the house. Zhang Xiaobao stared and kept pointing with his hands on his face. Neither of them wanted to sleep today. Up.
Just as time passed, the servants in the yard hurriedly came to the door and said to the pomegranates and cherries who were standing there: "Go and tell the little son and the little lady, that Lord Li is here."
