...
During the New Year reunion, there will be quarrels in every household.
Xianjin and Chen Laoliu had a quarrel at first, but everything was peaceful afterwards.
All the Chen family members, young and old, came to the old house. There were more than twenty people in total, including cousins and great-grandfathers, plus women and young men, and they set up six or seven tables in the yard for a lively feast.
Xianjin sat at the table for the girls from the Chen family, and next to her were little girls in their teens. After a flurry of recognition among the older and younger sisters, Xianjin found that she had four older sisters and two younger sisters, and successfully earned the title of the "Fifth Girl" in the Chen family.
Xianjin really wanted to say, my last name is not Chen either.
But her four sisters didn't give her a chance, and stuffed a dozen sachets into her mouth, chattering, "...You can read and write, and you can also work as an accountant, we are so envious, and we heard that you went to Qingcheng Mountain Court to cheat people, oh no, make money from those scholars, oh my, we are so excited - in this world, a businessman can cheat, oh no, make money from scholars!"
The oldest sister, Chen Zuo Niang, said, "My sister also wants to buy two 'blind bags', but she is afraid that they are all made of bamboo paper and it would be a waste of money..."
Xianjin was about to answer, but Zuo Niang didn't give her a chance and continued, "Later, I made a bag for her at home and stuffed a dozen pieces of coral paper in it. The little girl was so happy! Hehehehe——"
All right.
Xianjin scratched his head. The other person didn't need her to answer, he just wanted to talk.
The girls were chattering, it was so beautiful.
Xianjin ate a bite of the food, then looked at Chen Zuo Niang, whose face was as beautiful as a peach blossom. He drank a sip of tea, then looked at Chen You Niang, whose face was as red as a cherry blossom. He felt extremely happy.
The dinner table gradually entered the second part.
Mr. Chen Er initially refused the wine on the grounds of being in deep mourning, but later, with Madam Qu's tacit approval, he picked up the glass. He was indeed a kind and honest man, and would respond to every offer of wine, and soon the atmosphere became lively.
Amid the chaos, Xianjin squinted his eyes and saw an old man with a mustache whispering hurriedly to Master Chen Liu. Then Master Chen Liu picked up his long gown and hurried out.
Xianjin took the tea and clinked glasses with Chen Zuo's mother, then hooked his arm around Taohua's shoulder and said goodbye with a smile, "...It's urgent, it's urgent, you guys go and have fun first!" Then he tiptoed and followed Master Chen Liu for a distance and went out.
Xianjin hid behind a pillar and heard crying coming from the corner of the wall from a distance.
"...Old Zhu is dead, what will happen to his family? You have no money to give him, only five taels today, and three taels the day after tomorrow. He has more than a dozen concubines and seven or eight sons waiting for food! What do you think we should do?"
