little son-in-law

"It's the young master of the Yun family." Xiao Mo was facing the entrance of the valley, and saw the person coming first.

Mo Nanjin turned around.I saw Yun Sichuan, riding a brown horse, turning out from the valley entrance, followed by two carriages, and four or five young men carrying things in their hands.

"Brother Yun." Mo Nanjin smiled lightly and cupped her hands

"It's just a coincidence. The weather is very warm today. The old lady kept saying that she wanted to go out for a walk. She didn't expect to run into the Mo brothers here." Yun Sichuan waved his hand to stop the carriage, and got off the horse himself.

"Si Chuan, who is it?" A voice that sounded a little old came from the first carriage.

"Old Ancestor, it's the Mo brothers and their family who are also going out on an outing."

"It's Brother Jin." With a burst of hearty laughter, a girl in pink clothes came out of the carriage, and stretched out her hand to open the curtain of the carriage.

The servant next to him quickly put a pedal, and a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl helped the old lady of the Yun family get out of the carriage, and whispered in her ear: "Old ancestor, be careful where you step." The young lady of the Yun family Yun Zishu and the second miss Yun Zixian have been married for many years, and the fourth miss Yun Ziwan is younger, so this should be the third miss Yun Ziyi of the Yun family.

Yun Sichuan personally went to the car, helped the old lady out of the car, and then the girl jumped out of the car too.Sure enough, I heard Yun Sichuan say: "Third sister, be careful."

When Yuyang saw the old lady getting out of the car, he handed Yunzhi to Mingyue next to him, and at this moment, he also stepped forward quickly, supporting the old lady with Yun Ziyi from left to right, and said with a smile: "Old ancestor, Today is a warm time, and it is time to go out and have a look.”

The old lady Yun smiled kindly, and patted the back of Yuyang's hand: "Young girl Yuyang is right, Brother Jin, come here too, let my old lady take a look, I haven't seen you for a while."

Originally, Mo Nanjin was concerned about the presence of female relatives, so she didn't want to get too close. Hearing this, she took two steps forward and said, "Old lady, your body is still so strong."

"It's no different than you young people. The spring was cold a few days ago, and they didn't let them go out. It's finally getting warmer, so they let them out for a walk." Although the old lady was complaining, she smiled.Obviously very satisfied.

"The children and grandchildren are filial piety, this is the blessing of the old lady." There was a faint smile on the corner of Mo Nanjin's mouth.

"You are Mo Nanjin?" Yun Ziyi looked at the person in front of her. She had a very outstanding appearance, not inferior to the handsomeness of the second brother, but seeing those eyes made people not pay too much attention to his appearance. What kind of eyes are those? It seems that they have gone through the vicissitudes of several lifetimes, and the only thing left by the years is peace and calm.The woman's intuition told her that this was a man with many stories.

"Third girl, what are you talking about?" The old lady gave her a reproachful and helpless look. I heard that the third young lady was raised by the old lady's side since she was a child, and the old lady loved her very much, so it should be true. "Brother Jin is as old as your second brother, but you call him by his first name, where have you learned the etiquette of all ladies?" Turning around, Mo Nanjin said: "Brother Jin, don't be as knowledgeable as your third sister, This girl is outspoken."

"Miss San, you are smart and lively, how could I be offended?"

"Oh, old ancestor, haven't I often heard you mention that I haven't seen a real person in the inner courtyard, I'm curious, old ancestor don't be angry with Ziyi." Yun Ziyi tugged at the old lady's sleeve and acted like a baby.Then he said to Mo Nan Jin Fushen, "Brother Jin, don't be angry with Third Sister."

"Miss San, that's too polite." Mo Nanjin raised his hand to help.

"That means brother Jin is not angry with me anymore." The little girl got up and smiled playfully.A deep dimple appears on the left cheek.

"Third sister, don't be naughty." Yun Sichuan said in a relaxed and hearty voice, "I'll make Brother Mo laugh."

As they talked, they walked towards the pear tree. A servant girl from Yun's family had already spread thick felt blankets, and it was not far from Mo's house.A low table was placed on the felt blanket, on which dried plums, honey walnuts, Heyi cakes, Yunpian cakes, milk white almonds, pea yellows and other dry snacks and other foods were placed.

The three young ones were also brought over to invite the old lady to greet them. The old lady liked the three of them very much and gave them a lot of things.Yuyang picked up some red bean paste, a plate of glutinous rice cakes stuffed with black sesame seeds, and some chicken cakes.In addition, sweet sauce, lettuce, shredded green onion, sliced ​​duck meat, and shredded mushroom bamboo shoots in duck belly are wrapped in omelette.Bring it to the old lady to taste.

"My family owns a restaurant and dim sum shop, and my wife Cai Ye has tasted a lot of them, and the recipes for these things are also fresh. Today is really a blessing."

Yun Sichuan tasted it, and nodded repeatedly saying yes, but there was always something meaningful in the eyes looking at Mo Nanjin.

Yun Ziyi simply went to Mo's house, and went to grill fish with Xiao Mo and the others while eating.

Many years later, Mo Nanjin didn't remember that spring outing very clearly. If the bright girl in his memory hadn't met, could he--

Bowl.

In the blink of an eye, it was already May, and Sun Yeqing's wedding date was officially confirmed.Ask someone to combine the horoscopes of the two people's birthdays, and look through the old almanac. In May, there is only the tenth day of the first day. It is a good day and suitable for marriage.

The Sun family's wedding is still a few days away, but the family is already busy. The Mo family and the Sun family are neighbors, and they see the Sun family's door coming in and out every day, and there is a constant flow of people.The busy and festive voices could be heard clearly through the courtyard wall.These people are mainly the relatives of the Sun family who came to set up the bed, and the dowry items that should have been sent by the Wei family. Because the matter of the Wei family has not been resolved, Wei Yu and her daughter dare not go home. In addition, there might not be any decent dowry, so the Sun family took some extra money to supplement the bride's dowry, and ordered two paulownia wardrobes and a set of tables and chairs at the woodware store in the town.Women with many children should be invited to install the bed and the net. The main thing is to arrange the position of the bed, make a mosquito net and hang it in the new house, and find a few young male dolls to roll around on the bed to pray. May the newlyweds also be blessed and have many children in the future.Jing Zhi and Xing Zhi were borrowed to have sex on Ye Qing's marriage bed because of long-term cannibalism.

By the way, the Mo family is not idle either, because the Dragon Boat Festival is approaching on the fifth day of May.In this era, May is generally regarded as an unlucky month. If there is no such thing as the Wei family, most people would not choose to get married in this month.

Of course, the Dragon Boat Festival cannot do without zongzi. The jujube and glutinous rice are soaked in advance. Uncle Li asked Da Zhuang to send reed leaves. Mo Nanjin can't do the job of making zongzi, but Yuyang and Mingyue are good at it. The zong leaves were folded back and forth in their hands, stuffed with glutinous rice, stuffing, and tied with string, and soon a zongzi was out of the oven.This year they wrapped red dates, fresh meat, red bean paste, chestnuts, and salted egg yolks, a total of five kinds. Yuyang tied them with silk threads of different colors, so they were easy to identify.

Mo Nanjin couldn't help much in the kitchen, so he simply led the three children to the study to check Xingzhi and Jingzhi's reciting of the "Book of Songs". Now they are still learning the wind chapters in the book of songs, and today we are talking about "Book of Songs" .Qi Feng."Writing": As soon as I focus on it, I can only listen to it, and I still treat it as Qionghua.As soon as I am in the court, my ears are full of green, and I am still full of Qiongying.As soon as I am in the hall, I will fill it, my ears will be full of yellow, and I will still be full of Qiongying.Speaking of the scene when the bride got married, it is in line with the situation of the neighbor's family this time.After Mo Nanjin finished speaking, Jing Zhi and Xing Zhi went to the table beside them to recite each other. He held Yun Zhi's little hand and read a few simple words. She sat quietly at the small table next to Mo Nanjin's lap Practice on the bench by yourself.Mo Nanjin picked up a pen and began to draw his botanical illustrations. In his previous life, he was very interested in geography, but he was unable to engage in geography-related work due to many reasons.At that time, he had read a book by an American writer, which described the plants in America. It was very vivid and interesting. Now that he had nothing to do, he decided to draw up an illustrated book of plants here, which was divided into two parts: graphics and text descriptions.Firstly, it was my long-cherished wish, and secondly, I could teach children more knowledge. In this era, these are miscellaneous studies, which are not valued, and naturally no one teaches them, but he doesn’t want his children to In the future, there will be no distinction between grains.

After the dumplings are wrapped, they can be cooked in the pot for about an hour. This year, Yuyang and the others made a lot of them. She chose some chestnuts, fresh meat and salted egg yolks and tied them into three skewers, and asked Xiao Mo to give them to Yun. The family sent them, and the Yun family sent someone to send rice dumplings over yesterday, and the designs were really unique, they turned out to be persimmon cakes, green tea, Sophora japonica, and candied bergamot. think.I sent a few more strings to Sun's family, thinking that his family was busy with the wedding, so this Dragon Boat Festival was probably neglected.Susu also sent some after lunch, and Yuyang took a few more skewers for her to take back.

At night, everyone soaked mugwort leaves in water to take a bath.

The second day was the Dragon Boat Festival. Earlier, the mayor had ordered people to go door-to-door to make sacrifices at the riverside early in the morning.In the morning, after Mo Nanjin and the others got up, they first planted wormwood and calamus on the door.When they went out to the river, the sacrifices had already been laid out, and the whole sheep, whole pigs, chickens, ducks and geese were all tied with red ribbons.

Although Nanshan Town is headed by the Yun and Tian families, the mayor of the town is surnamed Sun. Speaking of which, he has some relationship with Ye Qing's family. A few days ago, he saw people from the mayor's family coming in and out at Ye Qing's house.Of course, in this clan-dominated town, the mayor's words may not be as effective as the head of the clan.They are mainly responsible for offering sacrifices, mediating disputes between clans, buying and selling witnesses and other trivial matters, but after all, they are selected from famous people in the town, and everyone is willing to respect them.

After all the people are counted, the gong is played, the trumpet is blown, and the whip is lighted. The mayor is dressed in a black filigree robe and holds high incense. Standing in the back were the Yun family, the members of the Tian family, and the patriarchs of the various clans, all of them concentrating on their heads in meditation. Mo Nanjin was distracted for a while, but he didn't hear what the mayor said. Hibiscus followed suit.Afterwards, the ceremony was over, and some people stayed to continue the greetings. Mo Nanjin had no intention of doing this, and besides, he didn't have breakfast when he came here in the morning, so he didn't have the heart to talk about something here. When he saw Tian Xiangxiang looking over, he He decisively took Ming Ting and Xiao Mo to greet everyone and left.We can't afford to offend, and we can't afford to hide, Mo Nanjin thought to himself.Naturally, he didn't see Tian Fang's sparkling eyes behind him.

Yuyang and Mingyue embroidered purses filled with wormwood for everyone in the family, and everyone tied colorful silk threads on their wrists, which are said to be able to drive away bad luck and bring good luck.These are to be kept with you until the end of May.

"I can't eat any more. Each person can only eat one meal. Isn't this what I agreed with my father? How can a man break his word?" Mo Nanjin pushed Jing Zhi's hand into the rice dumpling basket again. , although rice dumplings are delicious, they are not good after eating them. In the past, these two little ones were always unrestrained, so this year, Mo Nanjin made an agreement with them in advance that they can only eat one for each meal, and they are not allowed to eat too much. .

"But daddy, my brother is a young husband, we haven't grown up yet." Xing Zhi raised his head from the rice dumpling bowl in front of him, the corner of his mouth was still stained with sugar, he hadn't finished eating that yet.

"But Daddy has also taught you that everything should be started from a young age." Mo Nanjin picked up the handkerchief prepared next to them, wiped their mouths, put two potstickers in their bowls, and said, "This is fungus. Meat, don’t you guys like to eat it? Eat this first, and eat the rice dumplings at noon, okay?”

"kindness,"

Everyone at the table drank a little realgar wine. To be honest, the taste of realgar wine was really not that good. The three little ones stood aside, blinking their eyes. Mo Nanjin poured a drop into their mouths with chopsticks. The round face was wrinkled into a bun, and Mo Nanjin bent the corners of her lips gloatingly.

After dinner, Yuyang sprinkled the remaining realgar wine in the yard.

Xiao Mo was in a hurry to watch the dragon boat race, but Mo Nanjin didn't like the excitement very much, so he decided to go to the study to continue drawing his plant illustrations. Ming Ting didn't like to join in the fun, but the three children all made a fuss, and Ming Ting went with everyone.

Everyone went to watch the dragon boat race, even Ye Qing's family went today, it was rare to be quiet.There was still a smell of realgar wine in the air. Mo Nanjin opened the window, and the warm wind came in. He felt a little drowsy, and then fell asleep directly on the desk in front of the window.So he didn't hear the knock on the door in front of him. There was no response for a long time when someone knocked on the door, so he pushed the door open and entered the courtyard.
