Zhen Fei rises up in the Red Chamber

Both babies are smart people, or they are two little foxes. From the perspective of others, especially Lin Xun, the five or six-year-old Zhen Fei is a character and a genius, but only Zhen Fei knows it. I can have such a reaction because I am actually an adult, an adult in his twenties, but the other party, who is only nine years old, has such a talent for digging holes, which shows how good his talent is. If such a person does not make friends, it will be a huge loss.

He can almost see how much Lin Xun, who has a good family background, a good study, and his own ability, will achieve in the future. As long as he doesn't die halfway or something, he will have a good thigh.At this moment, Zhen Fei only felt that his heart was beating faster. He came out to hang out. People need to learn how to hug their thighs. Think about it, if he could hug a battalion commander or regiment commander back then, why would he have to worry about retiring?If you can do it properly, you will work hard if you need it, and follow the path of special forces.

Although this body is reincarnated into a scholarly family and a small wealthy family, but these days the hierarchy is more distinct. If you want to protect yourself, protect your family, or even develop more, you need someone above you, otherwise when will you come to Pojia County? Ling, the Zhen family really can't afford to fight against the Yin of Miemen.

But now he is very optimistic about this kid from the Lin family in front of him, a local big family in Suzhou, a big family that even officials should respect, and this person looks promising, if he doesn't cook cold stoves at this time, he is a fool, Zhen Fei He's not a fool, on the contrary he's being shameless, so he immediately adjusted his attitude, and said to Lin Xun affectionately:

"Brother Lin, there are a lot of people here today. My younger brother is young. If there is anything not thoughtful about receiving guests, I would ask my elder brother to help me out. There are also many older brothers than me today. My younger brother It's not long since I've just studied, and I'm afraid I don't have much to say with those brothers, so I'll have to ask my brother to come forward to deal with it when the time comes."

The soft voice, the flattering smile, and the baby's fat face are hard-hearted. Seeing such a child asking for help, Lin Xun looked at Zhen Fei with a face full of admiration, What else can he do with the look of being willing to be a younger brother?Naturally, he could only nod, but his mouth was not one to suffer, and he jokingly said:

"The younger brother of the Zhen family is already a rare thoughtful person, so don't belittle yourself."

That's what I said, but when people came, Lin Xun was still very loyal, probably because his father had taken care of him when he went out. Anyway, Zhen Fei knew it himself, and he could do it with just a few words of his own. It is impossible for the young master of the Lin family to help receive guests.It is estimated that the power of the old man is more powerful.Of course, he didn't care about these things at the moment, because there were indeed quite a few people who came.

Suzhou is originally a place where the literary style is at its peak. Not only are there many scholars here, but there are also many academies. As a result, there will naturally be more scholarly families. It is estimated that more than half of the families in and outside the city are scholars.From this we can see how the atmosphere here is, that is the place where literati gather together.

Scholars are tricky and mean, and there are quite a few people who like scheming, but there are more people who are arty, pay attention to etiquette and rules, and pay attention to personal connections.Love face, like to make friends, and believe that many friends have more than one way. People accounted for more than half.When the Zhen family has a happy event, even if it is just a birth, as a family that has a little friendship with each other, as long as they know about it, they will definitely come to join in the fun, and it can be regarded as a kind of walking around to maintain the relationship.Otherwise, I'm afraid that people will think that I don't know how to maintain connections, and it's a stick.

Not to mention the current situation of the Zhen family, such an auspicious omen, if you don't come to be happy, it is simply unique.Literati are also human beings, and they also have pursuits, okay? Think about those champions, Kuixing Towers, etc. Almost all of them believe in superstition for the sake of fame and future.The dragon and the phoenix are auspicious, what a good meaning, if you hug two children and let yourself have more blessings, it is really worth spending more money on gifts.There are also those women who are very keen to bless their children in this way, let themselves be pregnant with one, or let their children be blessed.

The Zhen family, at any rate, was an official, and for generations they have been headed by famous scholars. In this city of Suzhou, they can be regarded as the first family of the scholarly family. Most of the middle-level families in the village have a little friendship, that is, some farming and studying families outside the city who have not been up for a long time, because Mr. Zhen often walks around and knows a lot. People are full.

The current house of the Zhen family is in Qingping Lane near Changmen, next to the Calabash Temple, a four-way house, and a small garden across the courtyard. It is definitely a very good mansion in this city, or Zhen After the old man's father became the county magistrate, he expanded on the original basis one after another, in order to be able to support the face of the official family at critical moments, so that the banquet and wine would not be cramped.

But even so, on this day, it was rare to be crowded. The living room, the outer study room, and the flower hall at the front were all men. It’s okay to say that the elders don’t pay much attention to it, even if it’s a bit crowded. , just so that these people can get together to refute the scriptures or something, there is nothing wrong with it.Zhen Fei can also say here that the large courtyard in front of the garden is where he entertains guests. The size of the small second entrance, three rooms and two ears in the main room, and a side room for wine, can be considered barely enough, even if it looks like It's a bit super, Zhen Fei can also directly use some of his latest chess pieces, poker, to play with people together, saving a lot of trouble.

But the backyard was very lively. Those ladies brought their daughters and maids, and there were three or five people following each other. Mrs. Zhen almost couldn't sit down here. Fortunately, she had a quick mind and immediately called people to the garden. Anyway, the weather is not too cold. There are corridors, viewing pavilions, and theaters in this garden to disperse some people. There are also pavilions, pools, etc. for children to play, which can accommodate so many people.

At the end of the day, not to mention Mrs. Zhen, even Zhen Fei was almost exhausted from entertaining people, and the kitchen staff even slumped to the ground after finishing the meal, gasping for breath.How many years has this really been the case?How did it become like this?

It's not that Mrs. Zhen couldn't even arrange this treat, or that something went wrong with the arrangement, but they didn't expect that the guests who came here today exceeded their expectations. Many families didn't send posts, but they just knew each other. , or people who have walked around once or twice have come.

Although it is unreasonable for people to come to the door without a post, but they bring generous gifts, and it is such a festive day, people are coming, so we can't drive them away!Not to mention, there are quite a few distant family members from other places. This is a surname and a family, so we have to give face to it.

As a result, the total number of guests has directly increased by no less than [-]%. If it weren't for the Zhen family, it would be a big family anyway, and it wasn't the kind of family that just bought ingredients with their fingers. Today's dinner would make people dumbfounded Yes, I have prepared materials for fifteen tables of banquets, and it is embarrassing for me to accommodate twenty tables.

For this, I made a few extra trips for the purchase, and added three zero-hour stoves in the kitchen, so I could deal with it, which shows the degree of tossing about this matter today.

Zhen Fei fell on the soft couch in his parents' room, squinted his eyes, and didn't want to move, just listening to his parents talking about the sudden arrival of so many guests today, the more he listened, the happier he was .

"There are people from Zhenjiang, it's from Uncle Santang. I heard that the daughter-in-law is in her thirties and hasn't given birth yet. My aunt is in a hurry. Hearing that our family has twins, she rushed over here, saying that somehow she let the younger siblings Hug the child, ask for a few clothes for the child, and be happy, so that the family can have an heir to inherit. The poor one, I don’t know what to say, and they didn’t stay after giving the clothes , They said that they must hurry back, they are not at ease when Tang Shu is alone at home."

Mrs. Zhen rubbed her forehead, she couldn't tell what the expression was on her face. She was so anxious when she was too late to give birth. Fortunately, she had her eldest son in time, otherwise she didn't know what would happen. For The rudeness over there this time can be considered understandable, but it's just a little exhausted.

Master Zhen smiled and shook his head:

"No wonder my cousin looked at the child with red eyes when he was eating wine. This is envious. They are also true. Even if they don't rush to come at this time, is it possible that we will not agree? We even gave a generous gift! "

Master Zhen has been a little tight lately, he bought a lot of land, and there is not much liquid money left. Today, he heard the housekeeper said that he received a lot of gifts this day, so he couldn't help asking, wondering if he could make up for it .

It is rare for Mr. Zhen to show such a money-losing look, and Mrs. Zhen also smiled and nodded.

"No, I guess it's in a hurry. There's nothing else big at that time, just a few batches of Songjiang fine cloth, fruits and so on. It's just that the money was too much. I gave a full 100 taels, and the third uncle's house is not the same. For a very wealthy family, such a big gift may be able to cover their expenses for three to five months, and when we come to the New Year, we have to pay back some of it."

Even if they are money lovers, their husband and wife are not blind to money. As long as they can survive the difficulties of these days, it is the proper way for relatives to deal with the money and other things in exchange for a few more New Year's gifts.

"It should be. Prepare more good medicinal materials for the New Year ceremony. Don't make it too conspicuous, so as not to embarrass my uncle and cousin."

Both the husband and wife are considerate, and when they said this, both sides nodded, and even Zhen Fei couldn't help opening his eyes and looking at it, with a smile on his lips.
