"The joy of moving in the house is the Zhou family! Welcome Lord Sun and come to the humble house!" Zhou Ke's family stood at the door. Seeing that Sun Pin and his group arrived and did not forget to flatter and flatter, Zhou Ke stood in front of him and said with a smile.

"Haha! The idiom source "Soul? Xiaoya? Cutting Wood". Housewarming: refers to birds flying out of the valley; migrating to tall trees. Originally, birds flying out of the valley and falling on trees. Uncle (Zhou Xiaoniu's father Zhou Ke) is well-used, your family moved from a small town to the capital. I congratulate Uncle Zhou and his family on moving into a new home to make a fortune! Uncle and Aunt, what about the yard?" Uncle Zhou Ke and his family lived in a courtyard in the East Palace, which was a very good courtyard in a courtyard. The main room was eight rooms, four rooms across the east and west. In front

There are eight gatehouses, two of which are aisles. The back door is a tile gatehouse. The long courtyard is surrounded by a high wall. This was originally an old house. The maids of the East Palace and the officials in the palace got married and lived. Sun Ping arranged for Zhou Xiaoniu to fight against Zhou Xiaoniu, which was also to promote harmony between Zhou Xiaoniu. Zhou Xiaoniu and Xiao Si can live in this courtyard when they get married, and Zhou Gan and Li Haoye can also live in this courtyard. Zhou Gan can also move out if they have development. Sun Ping is accompanied by Zhou Xiaoniu, Wu Xiuhong, Jiao Shuqin, and Chen San and Xiao Si followed him to the courtyard. When Sun Ping heard Zhou Ke's words, he said with a smile in his idiom.

"We thank Master Sun for his care." Uncle Zhou bowed his hand and said with a smile.

"Master Sun, please come in!" Zhou Xiaoniu's mother was very excited, and she said with a thin yellow face and laughing.

"Sister Sun enters the living room!" Zhou Xiaoniu followed Sun Bin right, Wu Xiuhong followed on the left, Jiao Shuqin followed. Bodyguard Chen San stood at the gate, and Xiao Si stood in the courtyard. Zhou Xiaoniu called Sun Bin and walked into Zhou Ke's living room. This was the courtyard of Zhou Ke's main room in the north. There were four rooms in the middle, one living room and one bedroom: two of them were study and living room, and the two were bedrooms. Two rooms on the east and west sides were one bedroom and one living room. Zhou Gan and Li Haoye lived in one bedroom and one living room on the east side. One bedroom and one living room on the west side were idle. The east wing was a kitchen, a dining room, and the west wing was considered a storage room. Zhou Ke sold Yongcheng's house yard and moved into Beijing, bought some fashionable furniture and placed it in the living room. After the courtyard was simply sorted, Zhou Ke asked Zhou Xiaoniu to invite him.

Sun checked. Zhou Xiaoniu could live in two rooms in the west when she got married. Sun arranged Zhou Xiaoniu to be a female official and gave Zhou Xiaoniu a room to comfort and encourage Zhou Xiaoniu. Sun wanted to walk into the living room, and left from the east room. On a desk on the wall on the north wall: there was a clay statue, which was the meditating kitchen prince who looked very old. There was an incense burner in front of the statue, and there were three newly burned incense sticks, which were blazing smoke. Sun remembered that in Yongcheng, there were this statue in the Zhou family, and they moved together when they moved? The aunt of the Sun family believed in Buddhism and always posted portraits of the kitchen prince’s grandparents in their living room. Father, aunt, mother and family also went to the aunt’s living room every New Year to worship the kitchen prince’s grandparents: praying for God to say good things and ensure safety in the coming year

!The mother and Sun Ping did not believe in Buddhism, and the father did not believe it all. Following the inspiration of the aunt, the whole family should follow it as if it were soundly! Sun Ping checked the relevant books on the matter of the Kitchen God. The "The Original Society of Things" states that the emperor died as the Kitchen God. The "Huainanzi? The Remarks of the Lunar New Year" explains: "Yan Emperor died as the Fire God, and it was the product of natural forces worship. Yan Emperor was the "Emperor of Fire Virtue", and Zhu Rong was the "God of Fire Officials", so they were all regarded as the Kitchen God God. Sun Ping knew several statements: ghosts, gods or spirit transformation, cicada evolution theory... People worship the Kitchen God God, looking for auspiciousness and good fortune in the coming year. According to legend, the Kitchen God was the former in charge of the production of food and beverages on earth. Around the Eastern Jin Dynasty,

The Kitchen God has the function of monitoring the sins of the world and mastering the function of longevity and longevity of a family. Ge Hong of the Eastern Jin Dynasty said: "On the night of the moon, the Kitchen God also goes to the heavenly white man's crimes. The big ones seize the Scriptures, which are three hundred days. The small ones seize the calculations, which are three days." In short, it means that the Kitchen God receives incense, protects the prosperity of the family, observes the good and evil of the family, and reports the merits and demerits of the family. Every day of Gengshen, the Kitchen God reports to the Jade Emperor, and the last month is calculated. If the merits are more merits, the heaven will bring good fortune and longevity, and the heaven will bring disasters after three years. After checking the content, Sun Concubine thought that it was to encourage people in the world to avoid evil and do good, so she was not disgusted. In the Sun House in Yongcheng, the Sun family also followed the aunt to worship the Kitchen God and the grandparents during the Chinese New Year.

"My aunt is a portrait of God in worship: a Kitchen God and a Kitchen God. I remember that there is also a Kitchen God statue in your house?" Sun asked with a smile as he thought about this.

"Oh! When moving, Xiaoniu's father lost it." Zhou Xiaoniu's mother approached Sun Ping and said. Uncle Zhou Ke laughed and rubbed his hands awkwardly.

"Please sit down by Master Sun." There is a door in the inner room, which belongs to the living room. Sun Pin entered the inner room. There are tea sets on a high-leg tea table, and two chairs on both sides. There are a group of bookcases against the wall on the west side, but there are not many books, with messy gadgets placed. A red octagonal lantern hanging in the sky in the living room, which is opposite to the diamond-shaped window lattice, adding a bright color to the living room. Zhou Xiaoniu said with a forced smile.

"Are you used to living here?" Uncle Zhou Ke sat on the left chair and looked at Sun Pin calmly. Zhou Xiaoniu's mother stood on the side of Zhou Ke's chair, Zhou Xiaoniu stood on the side of Sun Pin, Jiao Shuqin and Wu Xiuhong stood at the door of the living room. Sun Pin sat on the chair on the right, looking around the simple living room with a smile.

"We are used to it and go to set up a stall when we are time. Zhou Xiaoniu doesn't let her do anything, saying that she can support us. She cooks, but she doesn't let us interfere. Zhou Gan wrote to him and said that she doesn't let her do anything. We are just over 50 years old and scratched her head!" Zhou Xiaoniu's mother said with a little satisfaction and smiled, and Uncle Zhou Ke hurriedly agreed.

"You have been tired for most of your life, so you should sit and eat and enjoy your happiness!" Sun Ping said with a smile.

"Yes! My parents always ask to set up a stall. This is in the capital, not Yongcheng. When you are seen, my brother and I are disgraceful!" Zhou Xiaoniu said helplessly.

"Oh! I think about it now that I still have a good study and will have a bright future! I study with Zhou Tian, ​​and Zhou Tian becomes the prefect." Uncle Zhou Ke came up with a topic and said helplessly.

"There is a golden house in the book, and the beautiful woman in the book is a beautiful woman! Dad, you said," Zhou Xiaoniu said with a smile.

"Yang Rong was the magistrate first, and after he was transferred to the palace, Zhou Tian became the magistrate." Sun Ping said with a smile when he heard about the incident of Zhou Tian.

"Who can you blame if you are not good at studying?" Looking at Zhou Ke, Zhou Xiaoniu's mother said with a smile.

"I've finished studying, I don't know where, can you marry me?" Zhou Ke looked at his wife and said with a silence. Sun Pin also smiled and looked at Zhou Xiaoniu's mother.

"Yes! Your Uncle Zhou and I realized that getting married was on the way to escape disasters and shelter..." Zhou Xiaoniu's mother talked about the flood. That year, the flood not only washed away the land of Zhou Ke's family, but also destroyed the families along the river. Zhou Ke's village was along the river, and Zhou Xiaoniu's mother was also a village along the coast. The two families were from two villages, and they didn't know each other. The rain continued, and mountain torrents broke out at night. Several village houses and people were swallowed up by the flood. Parents led their brother and sister to go away.

They fled. Zhou Xiaoniu's mother searched along the river bank for half a month but couldn't find her family. Zhou Xiaoniu's mother met Zhou Ke's family who was also fleeing to famine. Zhou Ke's parents saw the lonely girl, and took the girl around them sympathetically. Zhou Xiaoniu's mother, a girl at that time, was really desperate and got together with the Zhou family. Later, she got married to Zhou Ke. Zhou Xiaoniu's mother talked about her longing for her family, and also showed her sadness of missing her parents.

"I study a good book, you can't see me." Zhou Ke also said.

"Yes! Zhou Ke won the Jinshi exam or something, but he couldn't touch me." Zhou Xiaoniu's mother also said.

"Master Sun knows Ji Gang?" Shu Zhou Ke asked again.

"Ji Gang was a commander and was an Jinyiwei in the East Factory. He was executed. Uncle knew him?" Sun Ping was stunned and remembered Ji Gang who had been executed. Sun Ping said and looked at Zhou Kedi to ask.

"Zhou Tian became the prefect, and called me to the county government to have a meal with me. We were from Zhouzhuang and studied together in a private school. Zhou Tian talked about his classmate Ji Gang during the meal, and he was doing well. We and Ji Gang were both classmates. Later, I fled the famine and never saw Ji Gang again. Zhou Tian didn't know how Ji Gang became the Jinyiwei. What kind of official position was Ji Gang in the palace?" Zhou asked ridiculously.

"Ji Gang was highly valued in the Yongle Dynasty," Sun Bin said with a smile.

"What crime was he executed?" Zhou Ke asked with a look of slut.

"He is a crime of killing innocent people indiscriminately, and his reputation among the ministers is extremely poor." Sun Pin said.

"That's right! Ji Gang has a bad temper. Okay, let's not talk about him. What does Zhou Gan work in the East Factory have to do with the Jinyiwei?" Zhou Ke asked.

"The Dongchang is a subordinate department of the palace and serves the emperor. The Jinyiwei is an identity and a person who works. The Dongchang has Jinyiwei. However, Zhou Gan is good at doing things and the emperor appreciates it. He goes to the Guangxi Provincial Administration Office for Honor and is now conducting social investigations. He didn't say anything in his letter?" Li Haoye brought the tea in and placed it on the tea table, asking Sun Pin and his father-in-law Zhou Ke to drink tea. Sun Pin looked at Li Haoye and asked with a smile.

"He didn't say a word about what he did. I said that his parents and family took care of themselves and asked Zhou Xiaoniu to do things well." Li Haoye said indifferently.

"Let's not talk about this. Zhou Xiaoniu called Xiao Si to let him know your parents." Sun Pingwan said with a smile.

"Xiao Si, my master lets you in." Wu Xiuhong said with a smile on his face when he rushed to Xiao Si in the yard.

"The East Palace comes to report, and the prince asks Sun Pin to return." Wang Zhen came in and nodded, walked towards Sun Pin and said quietly. Xiao Si also came in, looked at Zhou Xiaoniu's parents, and stood aside cautiously.

"Okay! You go first, I'll go back." When Sun Ping saw Xiao Si and Zhou Xiaoniu's parents, she smiled at Wang Zhen.

Say it.

"Yeah!" Wang Zhen responded and left.

"Yugou Red Leaves, Wei helps!" After falling in love with Xiao Si, Zhou Xiaoniu first said very elegantly to Sun Pin, and even said an idiom with allusions, asking Sun Pin to help her introduce Xiao Si to her family. Sun Pin knows the idiom allusions: Emperor Xizong of Tang visited Sichuan and took the palace maid Fangzi to the palace maid Fangzi. Fangzi was very knowledgeable. One day, he wrote a poem on the red leaves: "Why is the flowing water too fast? The deep palace is idle all day long. Thank the red leaves diligently, so I can go to the world." After the title, he threw it into the ditch and was picked up by Li Yin, a Jinshi of Xiangzhou. He happened to meet in a mountain of folk houses. Fangzi saw the red leaves in the title of the poem, and the two became a good marriage. Later, it was said that it was: Yugou Red Leaves! Sun Pin looked at Wang Zhen who was walking away and remembered Zhou Xiaoniu's statement of meaning. He said happily:

"Uncle Zhou, aunt, his name is Xiao Si, and he is Xiao Niu's friend. Xiao Si, Zhou Xiao Niu's parents and sister-in-law, please get to know him."

"Uncle, aunt, sister-in-law, hello!" Xiao Sibi bowed deeply to the three of them respectfully.

"Let's cook quickly, Master Sun will come back after dinner!" Zhou Ke's smiled and said. Zhou Xiaoniu's mother, Zhou Xiaoniu, and Zhou Xiaoniu agreed.

"Xiao Si and Zhou Xiaoniu can have dinner here. Others go back to the palace!" Sun Ping said as she stood up and said goodbye. The group walked out of Zhou Ke's house and headed straight to the East Palace. The winter warmth was getting warm in the north. The palace first had charcoal, which was changed from last year to coal. The charcoal was set before and supplied by Deng Jiutian Mine. Recently, the palace went to contact the supply matter and said that the charcoal was stopped due to the tension. The information was passed to the emperor and then to the prince. The prince sent someone to tell Sun Ping. Sun Ping was so blurred that he was dizzy!
