Chapter 42: Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes After He Gong returned home, he continued to send holiday gifts to each house.
Fortunately, all the relatives of the He family live close by, so a few drinks are inevitable.
They were all busy during the festival, not only He Gong, but also Shen.
In addition to preparing for the festival, there was also the Li family's daughter's Zhou Zhou ceremony to attend.
Last time for the three baptisms, Mrs.
He went because Mrs.
Shen was not at home.
Since she hated He Xin for doing things that were too young for her, she would not go since Mrs.
Shen was at home.
He Zijin said, "Grandma, just go.
I heard that there will be a great banquet at noon."
"It's not like there's nothing to eat at home, so I won't go."
He Lao Niang said, "You go back and don't eat at his house."
"Why don't you eat when you go?
I haven't seen Xiaokang for several days, so I just want to take a look at her."
Li's daughter was not very healthy, so she named her He Kang for good luck.
He Zijin asked the third girl to go with him.
The third girl looked at He Lao Niang, but He Lao Niang did not stop her and said, "Your cousin is not very familiar with her yet.
Please take more care of her."
He then said to the third girl, "Zi Jin I'm young and insecure.
There are many people in the house and your aunt can't take care of them.
You should watch over Zijin."
Both of them agreed.
Mrs.
He looked at the third girl, who was wearing a bright red dress that He had worn when she was young.
Her slightly yellow hair was combed into two buns.
She was quite clean, but she was too plain and didn't have a single piece of jewelry.
Now that she's out, it's her mother's family, so plain and simple, it's almost embarrassing for her.
Madam He asked Grandma Yu, "Where are the two silver bracelets that A Jing had when he was a child?"
Grandma Yu said, "The small cabinet beside Madam's bedside is locked.
My aunt's jewelry from her childhood are all in it."
"Go get it."
Suddenly, Aunt Yu brought over a jewelry box, and He Zijin ran over to take a look.
In the box made of red painted old elm wood, there were all small bracelets, small hairpins, small silver hairpins, and small silver rings, all for children.
Madam He picked out a pair of plain leek leaf bracelets and handed them to the third girl, "Wear this when you go out."
He Zijin smiled, "Grandma, give me a pair too."
Mrs.
He picked another slightly faded light pink silk flower and inserted it for the three girls.
She mercilessly attacked He Zijin's greed for money, "There is nothing in this world that you don't want."
She closed the jewelry box again and again coldly.
After locking it, he told Grandma Yu, "Put it in the cabinet and lock it."
He Zijin pouted, "If you don't give it, I won't give it.
Grandma, if you don't give it, our friendship is still there, so why don't you be so stern about it?"
Madam He, "I have no friendship with you."
No longer paying attention to He Lao Niang, who was born as a miser, He Zijin took the three girls' hands and said to He Lao Niang, "We are going."

They were going to follow He Gongshen.
Madam He shouted from behind, "Tell your mother to bring Ah Lie."
She was worried about her grandson going to such a crowded place.
He Zijin, "didn't hear" doesn't mean he has no friendship with her, huh?
He was so angry, "You're deaf" "Deaf" Mrs.
He: Aunt Yu laughed so hard that she almost dropped the jewelry box.
The two cousins went to Shen's house.
Both Shen and He Gong were there.
Shen saw that the third girl had silk flowers on her head and silver bracelets on her wrists, so she took a pair of thin silver earrings from the makeup box.
He put it on the third girl and said to the third girl, "This is your first time going to the brother's house of the Xin tribe.
Most of them are members of our family.
Don't be afraid.
I will remind you when the time comes.
I recognize you this time.
See you later."
It’s easy to say hello.”
The third girl touched her ears, her face turned slightly red, and she nodded, "I remember, thank you, Auntie."
He Zijin said, "Grandma said, Mom, please take Ah Lie over.
Grandma looked at him."
Mrs.
Shen said to her husband, "It's okay.
Brother Xin knows a lot of people.
I heard that Xi San'er was very lively last time.
This first birthday party will definitely be more lively.
It's better not to bring Ah Lie and let Cui'er stay home."
Helping mother take care of Ah Lie.”
He Gong has no opinion.
The family went to Mrs.
He again.
Mrs.
He glared at He Zijin and told her son, "Eat less wine.
You always have social activities these days.
Eating too much wine is bad for your health.
Come back early if you have nothing to do."
"Don't worry, mother, we'll come back as soon as we go.
We won't drink too much."
He Gong told his mother, "Mother is at home alone at noon.
We must not make do with it.
Let the kitchen cook some good dishes, and grandma will eat with me."
The last sentence I told Grandma Yu.
Mrs.
He curled her lips and smiled, "Go ahead and go with this chatter, you can still make me hungry."
He Gong smiled and went with his wife and daughter.
He Zijin often came to He Xin's house with his mother, and he was very familiar with the Li family.
Today, Li's family members also came to catch Zhou Zhou, and they often flattered the Li family with a fawning look on their faces.

Speaking of which, Li's face was calm.
He Gong's family came early.
Mrs.
Li greeted Mrs.
Shen first and smiled when she saw He Zijin, "You haven't been here for several days.
Sister Kang misses you very much and often plays with the rattle you gave her. " He Zijin bowed, said hello to Mrs.
Li, and said, "Auntie, I also miss Sister Kang.
I am now learning needlework from my grandmother with my cousin.
This is my cousin."
He introduced the third girl to Mrs.
Li.
The third girl followed He Zijin's example and bowed to Mrs.
Li.
Mrs.
Li took the third girl's hand, looked her up and down, and said with a smile, "This girl is so handsome, what is her name?"
The third girl said, "My surname is Jiang, and my mother calls me Sanniu."
He Zijin was immediately shocked by Jiang Sanniu's name.
Li Shi smiled and nodded, "She's a good girl.
It's the first time we've met.
There's nothing good about her.
You and Zijin each have one pair of these little silver hairpins.
Take one of them."
Let's play."
The maid brought it.
The He family was rich, and it was true that Li and Shen were on good terms and had frequent contacts.
However, He Zijin was shocked by Li's generous meeting gift: This, this is too expensive.
Really, in rural areas, even in county towns, it is rare for people to give precious gifts like jewelry.
The third girl didn't know whether to accept it or not, so she went to see Mrs.
Shen.
Since Li's family was there, she couldn't refuse.
Mrs.
Shen smiled and said, "Your aunt gave it to me, so just take it."
The third girl and He Zijin both said thank you.
Li smiled, "Sister Kang is inside, go play with Sister Kang."
He Zijin took the third girl to play with He Kang in the inner room.
He Kang was a little thinner than other children of the same age, but he was in good spirits.
He can also speak some simple words.
When he saw He Zijin, he stood up unsteadily and called her sister in a sweet voice, reaching out for her to hug.
He was obviously very familiar with her.
He Zijin often boasts that she is a heartthrob, and it is not without reason.
She has excellent popularity in the infant and toddler industry.
I don’t know why, but He Zijin herself is still a dumpling, but the children are happy to look for her.
He Zijin stretched out his hand to hug He Kang and asked her some childish words, such as "Do you miss your sister?"
"What did you eat in the morning?"
"How much did you eat?"

He also taught He Kang about the third girl and asked her to call her sister. .
Suddenly, there were probably too many people coming, so Li ordered Ya to go out with He Kang in his arms.
He Zijin and the third girl went out together.
He Zijin took the third girl to meet some familiar tribesmen.
Except for the very expensive meeting gift given by the Li family, most of these tribesmen only praised the third girl in face, but did not say anything.
The gifts of things made the three girls feel particularly at ease.
There were also some girls from the tribe, some better dressed, some worse dressed, gathering together to talk, and their chirping was particularly lively.
Until almost noon, the first lady of Bishui County and the wife of the county magistrate, Mrs.
Sun, came with her two daughters.
Mrs.
Sun is extremely unique.
This does not only refer to her identity, nor does it only refer to her dress, but also her words and deeds, especially the slightly arrogant way Mrs.
Sun sits in the chair.
Her distant posture showed that she was different from the country bumpkins in this room.
Even the two girls from Mrs.
Sun's family were clearly different from the little country bumpkin He Zijin.
Mrs.
Sun has her own temperament, not to mention her status, and she speaks very kindly.
Mrs.
Li was even more polite, praising the two Miss Suns again and again, and giving them generous greeting gifts.
He Zijin then understood why Mrs.
Li gave them a pair of small silver hairpins.
It was probably because Mrs.
Sun and her daughter were coming, and Mrs.
Li specially prepared some things for the children.
When she saw He Zijin and the third girl, she gave them One for each of them.
This is a blessing for them.
Mrs.
Sun arrived, everyone was gathered, and the arrest of Zhou Li began.
He Kang caught a box of rouge and a gold hairpin.
Everyone praised him for catching it well.
After all, he would be a beautiful girl in the future.
Mrs.
Li was also very happy.
Mrs.
Sun was a reserved person.
After the Zhou ceremony was over, she sat down for a while and then left politely.
Mrs.
Li reluctantly stayed, but Mrs.
Sun smiled and said, "I am here, I am afraid that everyone will feel uncomfortable.
When you are free, I will come back."
She advised Mrs.
Li not to send her away, and left gracefully with her daughter.
The first lady of Bishui County and the two first ladies of Bishui County came gently.
However, after a while, Mrs.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Jingyi of Bishui County and the two first ladies of Bishui County quietly left again.
Their arrival and departure were so short-lived that they were already gone before the army of rogues in Bishui County could react.
There was a moment of silence in the room.
After everyone digested the news, a lively discussion started with a buzz.
There are no rules and etiquette in the countryside, and the He family is not a big family, even Bishui County is a small county.
Everyone recognizes her and speaks directly.
Some people said, "That's the county magistrate's wife.
Alas, this is the first time I've seen her."
Another said, "The county magistrate's wife came last time when our sister Kang had her third child bath, and I saw her.
This time we saw her again, and she didn't dare to recognize her."
"Yes, did you see that the hairpin on the head of the county magistrate's wife is gold and inlaid with red stones?"
"It must be very expensive."
"It goes without saying."
The above is a selection of conversations between young, middle-aged and elderly women.
Because they are all adults, even if they don’t know how to pretend to understand, they are still relatively reserved.
The children were different.
He Zijin listened to a group of little girls chattering in the children's circle.
The person who took the initiative to show off her IQ and make valuable jewelry for everyone was Chen Da Niu, the daughter of Uncle He Gong's cousin, Chen Dalang's family.
Because Chen Guzhang had obtained the favor of the state capital, he suddenly became more and more angry, and the female family members of the Chen family also changed their heads to gold ornaments.
Even Chen Da Niu is only ten years old, and everything she wears on her head and around her neck is glittering with gold, which makes her look very noble.
The changes in family circumstances made Chen Da Niu habitually raise her chin high when talking and looking at people.
Chen Da Niu spoke at this moment, she said, "That kind of red stone is very valuable, it's called pigeon blood."
The girl who answered her was also named Chen.
She was from the same clan as Chen Da Niu, named Chen Ermei.
However, although they are of the same clan, Chen Ermei's father is a small steward under Chen Dalang, so Chen Ermei has become Chen Da Niu's follower, and is usually responsible for admiring Chen Da Niu.
At this time, Chen Ermei said, "Why is it called pigeon blood?
Maybe it is stained with pigeon blood?"
Chen Da Niu glanced at her, waved her hand, and two or three gold bracelets on her wrists jingled, "No, no, it means that the color of the stone is as red as pigeon blood, so it is called pigeon blood."
Chen Ermei didn't know whether she understood it or not.
Anyway, she looked like she had some understanding.
After saying "Oh", she flattered Chen Da Niu and said, "Sister Da Niu, you know so much."
Chen Da Niu raised her chin higher and was about to feel proud when she heard someone ask, "But, all blood in the world is red, why is it called pigeon blood instead of duck blood or chicken blood?"
He Zijin nearly choked to death on the cake, holding his belly and laughing until his intestines were knotted.
The third girl brought water to He Zijin to drink.
The group of country chicks had already discussed loudly, "Not only duck blood and chicken blood are red, but pig blood, cow blood, and sheep blood are also red."
Someone else raised their hands and added, "Dog blood is also red."
So, everyone looked at Chen Da Niu together, "The blood is red, why is it called pigeon blood?"
Chen Da Niu originally wanted to show off her IQ, but unexpectedly she failed to show off her IQ and was left tongue-tied when asked.
Finally, she became so angry that she stopped showing off her IQ and showed off her domineering attitude.
Chen Da Niu's domineering side leaked out, "You ask me, who am I going to ask?"
Unexpectedly, her friends didn’t buy her domineering attitude and expressed doubts about her IQ, “It turns out you don’t know either.”
"That's right, you just pretend to understand if you don't understand."
"I thought she really understood."
"It turned out to be fake."
"Almost cheated."

Chen Da Niu was embarrassed and annoyed, her cheeks were red.
At this moment, the ultimate killer weapon finally revealed its true face.
He Tang's daughter He Zhenzhen whispered softly, "Pigeon blood is actually called pigeon blood red.
It does not refer to ordinary rubies.
It has to be a top-quality ruby to be called pigeon blood.
It has this name because of this kind of ruby."
It is produced in the extreme south.
Because the color of the gem is strong like the blood of a local pigeon called dove, it is also called pigeon blood red
.
"
He Zhenzhen's words were clear and clear.
As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Da Niu's face turned red even more, as if she had pigeon blood on Mrs.
Sun's head.
She was still a ten-year-old girl, her mind was not strong enough, and her face was not thick enough.
So, in the eyes of her friends with suspicion, indifference, ridicule, and disdain, Chen Da Niu turned away her noble head in shame and anger, and covered her face.
Then she ran out, with tears of grief and indignation flowing between her fingers.
As Chen Da Niu left, there were also the sound of crying.
This poor kid was slapped in the face before he showed off his intelligence.
The world is too cruel.
He Zijin silently sympathized with Chen Da Niu deep in his heart.
As for He Zhenzhen, this little girl who came from behind, after slapping Chen Da Niu away, she became the center of a new group of little bumpkin, enjoying the flattery of a group of little bumpkin, such as "Zhenzhen, you know so much" and "Zhenzhen" Zhen, I wouldn’t know if you didn’t tell me.”
“Zhen Zhen, you are amazing.”
All in all, that’s a lot of flattery.
He Zijin sighed: Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.
Do you think He Zhenzhen hit Da Niu Chen in the face unintentionally?
wrong Too naive Because the Chen family got Yan Yin, the He Xin family's position as the richest man in Bishui County was a bit unstable.
The He and Chen families were harmonious on the surface, but privately, it can be seen from the dispute between Chen Da Niu and He Zhenzhen.
He Zijin sighed again: Sure enough, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes gd1806102:
