Free Life in the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 7 Zhou's daughter-in-law

Zhou Heng walked to the lamp and opened his hand to see that there were no holes in his belly and there was no bleeding. Then he was relieved. Turning around, Song Keyen looked angry.

Song Keren threw the half of the steamed bread in his hand under Zhou Heng's feet fiercely, took out the scissors from the sleeve, pointed to Zhou Heng and said, "If you dare to touch me, none of us should think about it!"

Zhou Heng squatted down sadly and picked up half of the steamed bread on the ground.

"Confucius said, a gentleman won't do anything!" Zhou Heng said.

"If you really listen to Confucius, don't do anything to me! Otherwise, I want you to look good!" Song Keren said.

Zhou Heng glanced at Song Keren and muttered, "Who wants to touch you!"

Song Keren squeezed his mouth and took the opportunity to swallow the last mouthful of steamed bread. Look at the food on the table. Hey, have a good meal. Come on, she is also three minutes full.

Song Keren gave Zhou Heng a white look, and an old man was scared by the scissors. What a coward. Well, it's getting late. Go to bed quickly. Tomorrow morning, I have to get up early according to the rules to salute the annoying parents-in-law. Anyway, she has thought about it. Now let them relax their vigilance first. When the time is ripe, she will escape and live her free life!

Song Keren moved to the bedside and glanced at Zhou Heng. Zhou Heng quickly turned his head and whispered, "Confucius said, don't look at it if you are rude, don't look at it if you are rude."

I was speechless all night. Although Song Keren lay on **, he didn't fall asleep much. Song Keren needs to carefully guard against this honest man, and also needs to think about his escape ideas.

He was muddle-headed. Unconsciously, Song Keyen just slept for a while and heard the chickens in the yard. As soon as the chicken crowed, Zhou Heng jumped up from under the bed.

Song Keren suddenly opened his eyes and was about to touch the scissors on the pillow, but Zhou Heng went straight to the washbasin, hurriedly washed his face, and then picked up a book and recited it loudly.

"There are fish in the North..."

Song Keren also sat up. Is it Kong Meng who didn't take the imperial examination? At that time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed hundreds of unique Confucianism. Why did he still carry Zhuangzi on his back?

Song Keren got up and took out a dress from the bag. The bride's clothes can't always be worn, but there is no place to change clothes.

Song Keren coughed gently twice and said to Zhou Heng, "You go out first."

Zhou Heng continued to carry it as if he didn't hear it: "...90,000 miles away..."

"You go out first!" Song Keren said again.

"... wild horses, dust..."

"You recited it wrong!" Song Keren said.

Zhou Heng was shocked, as if he had been splashed with cold water, and he shivered coldly. He stopped reciting and turned his head to look at Song Keren in surprise.

"Go out and I'll change my clothes!" Song Keren said.

"What did I memorize wrong?" Zhou Heng asked.

"There's nothing wrong with memorizing anything. I'll ask you out!" Song Keren said.

Zhou Heng obediently went out with the book. When he came out, he let her go! Inscapable of being told that he is a modest gentleman bullying a woman!

Song Keren changed his clothes and went out. According to the rules, the bride should salute to the elders in the family today. Song Keren's sister-in-law Zhou Miao has been waiting at the door for a long time. People seem to want to make a good impression on the newcomers.

Zhou Miao, who has always had a bad temper and bad intentions, is no exception. He smiled as soon as he saw Song Keren.

In the flower hall, the Zhou family sat in a room. The first one was Zhou Heng's grandmother, Zhou Tang, a 60-year-old man who experienced countless storms, and the wind and frost sword engraved the mark of destruction of youth on her face. Although she is old, Zhou Tang's long-faced eyes are bright, and her thin lips make people know at a glance that she is not a good kind.

Zhou Tang's eyes have a black mole in her eyebrows, which makes people remember her characteristics at a glance. When Song Keren entered the house, Zhou Tang was pulling the corner of his clothes. As soon as he saw the newcomer coming in, Zhou Tang raised his neck. Song Keren suddenly thought of the second grandmother of the Bai family in the big house. Zhou Tang's appearance was exactly the same as that of Bai Wen's.

Zhou Tang sat an elderly man first, and Song Keyen guessed that this was probably her father-in-law. That's right. This person is Zhou Guangyi, a rich young master, with an expression of a young master who always looks down on his face.

Next to Zhou Guangyi sat Zhou Zhang, who had four sons and a daughter, and made outstanding contributions to the career of the Zhou family. Unfortunately, she is still a daughter-in-law. Her cousin's mother-in-law have died, and her sisters have become the masters of the family. She is not as lucky as them. With a mother-in-law, she will always be a humble daughter-in-law.

Zhou Miao helped Song Keren to Zhou Tang's side, and his daughter-in-law Zhou Fang handed over two cushions. Song Keren knelt down, and Zhou Heng knelt next to her.

"This is grandma." Zhou Miao introduced with a smile.

Song Keren kowtowed to Zhou Tang with Zhou Heng, raised his head and handed over the tea bowl.

"Grandma drinks tea." Song Keren picked up the teacup and handed it over.

Zhou Tang took the tea, symbolically sip it, and then put it on the table. Okay, Henger, you have also got a family and a career. Study hard, and the hope of our family is on you. On the day you are the top student in high school, our whole family will be blessed!" Zhou Tang said with a smile.

Zhou Heng's solemn face kowtowed to Zhou Tang again.

"Grandma, I will try my best."

Zhou Heng's kowtowed determination made Song Keren unable to find the north. Did she kowtow or not? She hasn't learned so much about this etiquette!

Fortunately, Zhou Tang said at this moment, "Bow to your parents!" On the one hand, he handed Song Keren and Zhou Heng a red envelope each.

Zhou Guangyi looked indifferent, and his daughter-in-law kowtowed for tea and delayed his time to go back to sleep. Zhou Zhang's face was nervous. Although she had married three daughters-in-law, she was still as nervous as when she married. This is the end of being a daughter-in-law for 28 years! There is a psychological shadow. I'm afraid of doing something wrong, saying the wrong thing, and being scolded by my mother-in-law.

After giving tea to his parents-in-law, it was Zhou Heng's eldest brother Zhou Ke and sister-in-law Zhou Miao, as well as the second brother Zhou Yong and second sister-in-law Zhou Fang.

After giving tea to his brother and sister-in-law, Song Keren and Zhou Heng accepted the tea from Zhou Heng's fourth brother Zhou Mao and little sister Zhou Jia.

After this back and forth, the ceremony of toasting tea was finally completed. Of course, Song Keren received a lot of red envelopes.
