The next day, Shen Shuguang specially instructed her wet nurse to wake herself up early and opened a small wardrobe box to think about her attire. In the end, Wei Changying personally made a set of turmeric ground slightly embroidered bamboo leaves robe put on, wearing the grandmother gave the red gold necklace ring, tied Huang's hand-played colorful Ruyi tapestry, bright and new ran to ask for peace.
At this time, Wei Changying was just combing her hair and was surprised to see her eldest son come over so early, "Why don't you sleep more?"
"I want to greet my mother!" Shen Shuguang remembered what his elder brother Shen Shuming had said, "Second brother must remember to coax the third aunt well, then the third uncle is not to be feared at all," and sweetly stepped forward and said, "Mother looks so pretty in this water-red short jacket!"
Wei Changying called him to him, reached out to straighten his slightly crooked lapel, and said with a smile, "You don't have to
"Third younger sibling, there's something that sister-in-law wants to make amends with you!" After leaving the upper room, the three sisters-in-law left the children in the care of the nurse's servant, the fifth young lady Su Yuyin, who had not yet given birth, was both curious and envious of the children, so she told her sisters-in-law and took a few steps behind to walk with her nieces and nephews.Liu didn't wait for Wei Changying to speak, but said, "You know Ming'er's naughty behavior. I don't want him to lose his head, but when he found out that third brother was going to give Guang'er an early start in his education, he actually muttered in front of Guang'er, which has made him extremely resistant to the initiation. Resistance to say that I am the mother of the child's teachings are not good, your big brother and happen to be out of the house, and so that the uncontrollable thing with the light said that after I only know! I wanted him to go to the third house after noo
Although both Mrs. Su and Liu said that Wei Changying's return to the imperial capital at this time would be a good opportunity to help Shen Jiekun with his marriage, after visiting Pei Meiniang, Wei Changying hadn't had the time to inquire about Shen Jiekun's marriage preparations Song Yuwang was still waiting for her to visit her.According to the Laws of Wei, the mourning of a grandmother by a foreign relative is a small service in the "five services" and lasts for five months.The old lady passed away in March, and Wei Changying is still wearing mourning, so it's not convenient to visit other people's homes or go to Jiangnan to offer condolences. But uncle and first cousin also have filial piety in the body, but also be taken away from the love in the imperial capital, that is how to have to run a trip, not to mention uncle is still from the beginning of the spring on the sick to the present.To be honest, I heard that Song Yuwang had been sick since before the
...... out of the Sikong mansion, when the carriage to the street, Shen Zangfeng whispered "Grandfather Song is already old, Song big cousin, although capable, compared to the dynastic princes in the end of the years of seniority are light. And now the world will be in turmoil, according to reason, how uncle Song should not refuse medical treatment at this time."Wei Changying rubbed his forehead and nodded, "That's right. My uncle has been a leader in the imperial court since he was young, and when I was at my mother's house, I often heard my mother praise him for his far-sightedness, which far exceeds that of ordinary people, so I really can't imagine that he would do ...... what's going on here? Surprisingly, even the first cousin they can not persuade."Shen Zangfeng mused, "I do have an idea, but it just doesn't seem right when I think about it."Wei Chang Ying asked, "What?""These words may be a bit disrespectful to the elders, let's just talk about it
It was high noon around midsummer. The sun shone so brightly that the sun beam burned the eye.In the rear house of the patrimonial Wei family in Fengzhou, around ten in the morning, the well water was poured on the ground once, and within seconds the water evaporated without a trace, not even a few water marks were left. Under the dazzling bright sunlight, the yard was full of summer dust floating in the air. As the damp south wind blew, it got thicker and stickier. The wind blew through the body, yet no soothing feeling was felt. It was like being dragged into this invisible swamp, sinking deeper and deeper in unspeakable tedium.Nowadays in the great Vi Dynasty, family status was highly valued. The Wei family had lived in Fengzhou for generations, and the origins of its ancestors could be traced back to the Middle Ages. Talents had emerged for hundreds of years, and it was one of the top six gentlefolks within the country. Such a noble family would want
In the main room of the back house, the curtain hung low, but it didn't feel sultry. It was because there were tanks about half the height of a man filled with ice in the four corners of the room, and four little maids holding palm-leaf fans, fanning neatly and uniformly. Although it was in the summer, it was still cool and enjoyable like autumn. There were two pieces of frozen cheese to hand, and it was the most sleepy noon. Song, the wife of the Wei Family had just finished a day's work and had lunch. It was a good time to have a rest so that she would be fresh to visit the old Madam later. But Madam Song tossed about for a while on the couch with the bamboo mat, and could not fall asleep."How is she now?" Madam Song thought over and did not feel at ease. She sat up with her hair down and asked her wet nurse, Granny Shi, who came to this family as her dowry.Granny Shi answered embarrassedly, "I just lifted the curtain and glanced through the window. Mis
Feeling refreshed, Wei Changying sat straight on the imperial couch, slowly picking grapes in the frozen cheese with a silver spoon. She was enjoying the same service as Madam Song‒ an ice tank in each corner of the room, with four maids fanning and four chief maids around her. The chief maids were working separately, one massaging Changying's shoulders while another gently pounding her legs, and the other two were carefully drying her hair with a handkerchief. As for Mrs. He, she was holding a handkerchief and crying in earnest after ordering the maids to serve Wei Changying out of the bath.“Madam Song is your natural mother and she always doted on you," said Mrs. He, "If you have said any pleasing words, she wouldn't treat you like this..." Seeing Changying's flushed cheeks that have not been recovered after a hot bath, Mrs. He's tears fell from her heart. “She is your natural mother as well as your father's wife. Isn't it reasonable for you to say sorry to your moth
Wei Changying graciously took over the frozen cheese served by Lvfang and personally handed it to Song Zaishui, "My dear cousin, you need to calm down," she said, "It's all because of Changfeng! He didn't tell me about this! I thought he would send someone to thank you. Cousin, please take a look at my face. I've been badly tanned and just came back home to bathe and change my clothes. I haven't even recovered yet! "Song Zaishui took a bite of the frozen cheese and said angrily, “You deserve it! Knowing that everything will be fine if you just yield to me. But you are so stubborn every time. From my perspective, this is only because your mother's temper is too good to be so courteous to you. Otherwise, you have already been punished by the family doctrine! ""How is that possible?" Wei Changying smiled and said, "She is my mother. If she doesn't love me, who loves me?"Song Zaishui sneered and said, "Knowing that he loves you so, you are heart
In the great Vi Dynasty, people respected the hereditary house and despised poor scholars, so the election was according to the genealogy, but the common people were not included in the genealogy at all. As time passed, no poor family could get in the top grade and no influential family would fall to low grade.And all the influential families in this country were also not treated equally. According to the example of the previous dynasty, the family would be Gaoliang, which was the highest grade, if they had Three Counselors of State in the last three generations; the lower grade was Huayu, which had Directors; the grade of Jia had Chief Ministers, Ling, Hu; the grade of Yi had Ministers; the grade of Bing had Executive Vice Ministers or Grand Masters; the grade of Ding had Vice Ministers. The grades from high to low were: Gaoliang, Huayu, Jia, Yi, Bing, and Ding.However, in this dynasty, there were six families above the grade Gaoliang, all of which had b
