Yipin Farmer

Ting Shuang went to the kitchen and brought up the things she made by herself.

The guests all stretched their necks to see what kind of filial piety Meng's eldest son brought up.

I saw two servants bringing a large plate, on which was a big longevity peach, with a strong fragrance, and the tip of the peach was pink, which looked very attractive.

It's just that birthday peaches are commonly used to celebrate birthdays, so even if the birthday peaches are bigger, it's not uncommon.

Everyone was slightly disappointed.

Ting Shuang smiled slightly, and cut open the big longevity peach. It turned out that there were 99 small longevity peaches inside, implying a long life.Such whimsy amazed the guests.

Ting Shuang cut open the Xiaoshou peach again, only to find that it was filled with golden yellow stuffing, and a sweet and sweet smell hit her nostrils.

"This is Baiguo Shoutao Bao. There are persimmons, kumquats, apricots and other fruit fillings in it. Each one is different, and it is the sweetest and most delicious."

Some of the fillings in the buns are prepared with Western-style jams, and some have custard fillings. They are sweet but not greasy, soft and fragrant, and have the unique refreshing taste of fruits. They are very suitable for the elderly, and they are wrapped in birthday peaches. It's the best way to celebrate your birthday.

The guests were more and more admiring, and they each tasted one, which is considered a longevity.

Then Tinghui, the second son, presented the newly cultivated exotic chrysanthemums. There was a snow-white chrysanthemum named "White Crane Lying in the Snow" with the most beautiful posture, and a pot of golden-yellow chrysanthemums like golden threads called "Golden Button Silk". Chrysanthemums are also very beautiful.There are also red "Drunk Concubine Yang", and light yellow "Royal Dai Piaoxiang" are also very rare.It also won praise from the guests.

Then Lao San Tingke brought a white jade box, opened the box, and it was fragrant.

"This is jade face peach pollen. Apply it on the face every day to make the skin smooth." Ting Ke introduced, and added, "I made it myself."

The guests praised again.

Ting Ke was very proud, and took out another jade box, and said: "This is Sun Xiannian girl ointment. It is said that Sun Buer, the fairy girl of Quanzhen sect, has a good face and looks like a young girl after fifty years. It is a special secret recipe. .I accidentally saw a prescription in an ancient book, and made it a few times according to the method, and it was successfully made. I dedicated it to my mother, and wished my mother never grow old."

Yang's face became more and more smiling. She didn't pay much attention to her appearance, but there were many women among the birthday guests. Every woman in the world hoped that she could look immortal and young and beautiful forever. Seeing this fairy girl, she was very envious , They started thinking about it one after another, and some even wanted to buy it.

Seeing the expressions of these women, Ting Shuang thought to himself: Well, the third child can make money, but he is better than me.

Those who would make fun came forward to praise Yang's good fortune. The three sons were handsome, sensible, obedient and filial.Yang's face was bright, and he couldn't close his mouth with a smile.

Meng Kejian was watching her face all the time, seeing her happy, he winked at the door.

A thin boy of thirteen or fourteen came forward holding a scroll to celebrate his birthday.

"May my mother be as blessed as the East China Sea, and live longer than Nanshan."

Unfolding the scroll, it turned out to be a picture of a hundred longevity, with 99 various characters for longevity, surrounded by a big longevity character in the middle, in the shape of stars holding the moon.

It was the first time Ting Shuang saw such a calligraphy work, and she couldn't help being proud of the calligraphy art of the motherland. There are thousands of characters in the world, and only Chinese characters can be passed down as an art for thousands of years and carried forward, giving people the enjoyment of beauty.Foreign characters are no good. Who has ever seen a foreigner give a line of English letters as a gift, who has seen a few lines of letters on a foreign painting to add color to the painting?

Only China has the art of calligraphy. The characters of other countries can only be used as characters and cannot be appreciated as art.

Ting Shuang was only admiring, but didn't notice that Yang Shi and Ting Hui's faces became a little ugly.

Meng Kejian smiled and said, "Zhizhi, did you write this yourself?"

"Yes." The boy said respectfully.

"Your handwriting is getting better and better." Meng Kejian looked at him and smiled, with an extremely loving expression in his eyes, which was an attitude he never had towards the other three sons.

"Thank you for the compliment, father." The young man bowed his head with courtesy.

No matter how slow Ting Shuang's brain reacted, she finally understood that this young man was Meng Tingzhi, the son of Meng Kejian's waifu who was raised outside.In modern terms, it is the illegitimate child of the mistress.No wonder Yang's complexion is not very good.

Seeing Tingzhi's quiet appearance and calm attitude, he was not surprised when he encountered a bad face, Zhu Wanshou stood up and stepped aside, Ting Hui glanced at him and treated him with no false words, but it was difficult to say anything on birthday occasions.Ting Ke looked left and right, but didn't speak.

It was the first time Ting Shuang saw Tingzhi after traveling through time, and felt a little sympathetic to him. Meng Kejian was outsourcing his mistress, and the child was not wrong. It is rare for him to write good handwriting at a young age. It can be seen that he is a smart and hardworking child. It's pitiful to see people's faces when they come to celebrate their birthdays.So he smiled encouragingly.

Then a well-dressed and beautiful young woman came into the room and presented a birthday gift. A new set of clothes, a black embroidered deer and crane spring jacket, and a pink butterfly wearing a flower railing skirt, bright and stable.

Yang's complexion was even worse, after all, no one's complexion would be good when the mistress outside came to see his wife.

After the birthday banquet, Ting Shuang took the younger brothers to send the guests away, burned the god-worshiping money and food, and ordered the servants to distribute copper coins outside, which is called "dispersion of disasters". It is said that all disasters and unpleasantness can be dispersed outside.

Ting Shuang naturally didn't believe this, but he was also very happy to see the happy smiles on the faces of those poor children picking up copper coins to buy candied haws.

After seeing off the guests, Yang went back to the inner hall to change out her big clothes and heavy hairpin rings, and put on a homely bun.Meng Kejian followed and said flatteringly, "I specially made a whole set of jewelry for you to celebrate your birthday, do you like it?"

"What do you mean?" Yang was very angry, "What did you ask their mother and child to do?"

"You are the mistress of the house, and it is a due courtesy for them to come to celebrate their birthday."

"No need." Yang said coldly.

"Why don't you need it?" Meng Kejian didn't want to make any more detours. "Furong is a concubine, and the child born to her treats you as the aunt, so it is appropriate to come to celebrate her birthday."

"Okay, this is your real purpose. You want to formally accept a concubine and let her in, right?"

"Yes." Meng Kejian didn't hide his intentions, "With my status and such a family fortune, it's normal to have a concubine..."

"Father, how could you do this?" Ting Shuang, who was listening outside the door, couldn't help jumping out to interject, "Mother has put all her heart into this family, keeping the house in order, serving grandparents and raising my son, you Only then can you rest assured that you can start a career abroad, and now that you are rich, you want to take care of your family."

Ting Shuang firmly believes that love must be single-minded. No matter what, no matter where he is or what age he is, he cannot accept having a mistress, let alone bringing a mistress home to become a family member.

"That's right, that's right, Daddy's doing too much." Brothers Ting Hui and Ting Ke also agreed.

Meng Kejian was a little annoyed: "Boy, why are you talking about me?"

"You didn't do it right, why don't you say it." Ting Shuang still twisted her neck and was about to argue with him.

Meng Kejian was so angry that he beat his chest: "Why do I have such a hard life? I have raised some of you unworthy sons. You can't do anything but make me angry..."

Ting Hui interjected: "Why are we unworthy? We are obedient and don't cause trouble. We have grown up like this under the conditions of our family. Dad only knows how to make money and forces us to give you glory. When did you care about us? We are in the gutter. Daddy should be content with the grown handsome dragon."

Hearing this very creative words, Ting Shuang suppressed a smile: "Mother is so nice, and there are a few handsome dragons like us. Daddy should be satisfied. He really shouldn't raise people outside, let alone bring people home. .”

"What Junlong, it's clearly a few loaches, blame me for only knowing how to make money, is it wrong for me to make money to support you?" Meng Kejian's face was full of bitterness and hatred. "You only know how to enjoy life at home, but how difficult it is to earn a living outside. I used to be an apprentice for others, even though I didn't have a penny to eat, I only had a meal of dry buns and leek flowers. I didn't dare to speak loudly because of people's faces You have to endure bullying..."

"It's time to recall suffering again." Ting Hui listened impatiently, "Aren't you out of it now? Isn't our family rich?"

"What do you know, boy? If you are rich, you only need to eat and clothe better, but you still look at people's faces. A businessman is the bottom of the four peoples. If you have money, you have no status. When you see an official, you have to kneel down. I will do my best to support the few of you. In order to honor our ancestors, our family can get rid of this situation of being looked down upon by others in the future, and your mother and I can also receive gifts from the imperial court. I never thought that you guys would be so dishonest..."

Meng Kejian became angrier as he spoke, staring at Ting Shuang and scolding: "You, as the eldest son, let's see what head you have. After reading a book, you don't know where your mind wanders. After reading for several years, you still can't solve the problem. It’s so written that I can’t take it out, it’s a piece of trash..."

Ting Shuang's scolded bird kept silent. The owner of this body can't read well, which saves him trouble, and won't worry about getting out of the way.But he also felt very sorry to see the old man Meng who supported him so heartbroken.

But he is willing to show filial piety to the elders, so he can do other things for them. Let’s forget about studying four books and writing stereotyped exams. It’s a headache to think about it, and he can’t do it even if he kills him.

"It's all right if you can't read well. Talking about a marriage and going against your parents, you want to piss me off. I was so angry that I lost my life for several years." Meng Kejian scolded Ting Hui after scolding the boss, "And you Playboy, he only knows how to choose food and clothing all day long, and he has to change new clothes every day. His cleverness is only used in how to play truant and have fun. Ten sentences, without your parents, you are just a beggar."

Ting Hui was so scolded that he couldn't make a sound.

Ting Ke comforted him with words: "Daddy calm down..."

Meng Kejian vented his anger on him: "And you, stupid, stunned when you read a book, but you are more active in other things, doing some delicate naughty all day long, playing with those hairpins and women's clothes, those are men. something?"

Ting Ke was also scolded and shrank to the side.

Yang couldn't stand it anymore, and persuaded: "Okay, it's because I didn't teach the children well, you just came at me when you got angry, why bother?"

Meng Kejian turned to her again and said, "It's not easy for you to run a family. I thought of you, and never thought of blaming you. The children are not suitable for studying, and I don't want to push them too hard. I consider myself a loving father. It's just that the family can't get out of being an official, and it's rare that Zhizhi still has some talent in this area. He can read well and write well. He was selected as a scholar at a young age, and his neighbors praised him as a The child prodigy, Mr. also said that his time is coming soon, and there is great hope for the examination in two years, and the glory of the ancestors will be counted on him in the future..."

"Okay." Yang interrupted him, "You spent a lot of money to make me happy for my birthday, and you sent such an evil fire again. It's nothing more than asking Tingzhi to recognize his ancestors and return to his family. I promise that. Don't pick your nose and eyes."

Meng Kejian looked happy, and said again: "What about his mother? Did you take the child into the house and throw the child's mother outside? The child is filial, so he wouldn't be interested in studying for the exam. Besides, you have to do housework, don't worry about it." A few boys, how do you spare time to take care of him?"

Yang sighed: "Needless to say, if I don't agree, I will become a sinner hindering your family's future. Just choose an auspicious day and ask her to come in."

Meng Kejian was overjoyed, stood up and bowed: "Madam, you are so virtuous, I will thank you very much."

The whole family dispersed, each with their own thoughts.

Ting Hui curled his lips at his mother: "Mother, you are so easy to talk to. Dad only dared to do this because he saw you. He actually made such a request on your good day."

"You can only talk, but if the three of you fight for a little bit, I will speak louder." Yang frowned and said, "The woman gave birth to a son, and it will be a matter of time before she enters the door. Besides, that child Zhizhi is also sensible, If it wasn't for his mother's bad luck, I would have brought him in long ago."

Meng Kejian worked on Ting Shuang's work in private: "The second and third are very repulsive to Zhizhi's mother and son, but they always listen to you. You are the eldest son, so you should know how to treat your younger brother. Your attitude determines the attitude of those two. You Do not disappoint me."

Seeing the old man's begging look, Ting Shuang was a little embarrassed. Emotionally, he defended the Yang family. If he accepted the mother and son, it would feel like betraying her.However, old man Meng begged him like this, and Tingzhi was his younger brother, which was really embarrassing.No matter which side you stand on, it will cause family turmoil. How can we maintain the peace of this family?
