The second aunt Wei Zhengyin complained of illness, and the second uncle's family was wearing filial piety to avoid taboos. Fortunately, it was necessary to avoid taboos, otherwise neither of them would be happy when they met. Wei Changying's relatives, distant relatives such as Wei Yu and Queen Run, all sent their close friends to send gifts. They saw the newborn and said auspicious words, which was considered a good etiquette. They were just waiting for the full moon banquet to come to congratulate in person.
However, my eldest aunt Wei Shengxian would come almost every other day.
Wei Shengxian came here so often, but actually only a third of it was for Wei Changying, and the other seven was for the son she gave birth to. Because Wei Shengxian had no children of his own, he was especially fond of the young masters from the Song family, who were only nephews from her husband's family. Wei Changying is her biological niece, and Wei Changying's son is still related to her by blood. Wei Shengxian likes her even more, and misses him dearly even if she doesn't look at him for two or three days.
Among the elders who visited the child, Mrs. Su and Wei Shengxian were the most enthusiastic, and their relationship quickly became closer.
Regarding the marriage between Song Xiyue and Liu Xixun, neither Wei Zhengyin nor Wei Changying could comfort Wei Shengxian. However, Mrs. Su relieved her after knowing her worries: "We can all see it, Weiyuan Hou Isn't it clear? Although it is the best idea to choose a legitimate daughter who is favored by the clan, there are only six families in the country who can be called the legitimate daughter of the clan. A woman must be favored and capable, and she must be a good wife for the sixteenth son of the Liu family. If Marquis Weiyuan can find one, can he still wait until the Taiwei comes to worry about her? "
Wei Shengxian asked: "Mrs. Su, what do you mean...?"
"Look at our Shen family, Zang Ning is very popular with her father, but she has an out-of-the-box temperament! I am her mother and it gives me a headache! The Marquis of Weiyuan would not have dared to hire her, otherwise he would have been a few years earlier. It’s time to test it out. If you look at your mother’s family, your daughter-in-law is very good, but she is destined to be my Feng’er in her infancy. Her other cousins, I don’t mean to say that they are not as doting as her. Secondly, I can't say that those ladies are not good, but they are much inferior to Chang Ying, don't you think? "Mrs. Su is now very satisfied with her third daughter-in-law who gave birth to her son, in front of her third daughter-in-law. The aunt's face was full of praise for her wife, and she continued to count after praising her, "The Song family only has one eldest lady. She is good at everything, but she has a bad life! There are many girls in the Duanmu family, but there are too many. There are some rooms where the management is not good and the good and the bad are mixed! There are a few nieces in my family, but they have either been booked a long time ago or recently. "
"So, you said that Marquis Weiyuan pushed your eldest daughter, but he couldn't find a suitable girl for a while, and instead made enemies with the Wei and Song families. Why is this necessary? It's better to just get married like this! After all, The lady in the house is good at first glance. Besides, if the prince can marry his nephew once, he can't marry him a second time. Does Mr. Liu Liu still want to marry him? "
Mrs. Su implicitly reminded, "After all, you are also the daughter of the leader of the Wei family. Your old lady is famous for loving the younger generation, and she can watch the young lady in the house being bullied for no reason, let alone murdered! Marquis Weiyuan is not stupid. Even if he thinks that the governor of Song Dynasty is not a descendant of his sect, it will be recorded in the Taiwei's account. Why should he blame the eldest lady in the house to make a grudge? Look, as long as the eldest lady in the house follows the rules of being a wife, the Liu family will not bother to embarrass the eldest lady in the house. After all, you and the Song governor are both descendants of the noble family, no lower than the Liu family. !”
These words made Wei Shengxian suddenly enlightened. He was really grateful to Mrs. Su. He also laughed at himself and said that he thought too much, which frightened himself and made him sick for several days at the end of last year.
Mrs. Su said clearly: "Zhang Ying was assassinated by the soldiers two years ago. I guess you are worried about your niece, so don't you think too much about it? It's nothing. Mothers always have to think more, and we all do. Just like that. My Feng'er was slightly injured when he was performing martial arts in front of the emperor. More than half a year later, I was still worried, so I asked Chang Ying to take him to see Doctor Ji. When the doctor saw that nothing was wrong with him, he thought he was fine. You're teasing him! He lost his temper! Feng'er said before that it was too aggressive, but this mother would rather make a fuss out of fear of offending them."
Wei Shengxian felt the same and said: "What you said is absolutely right! At our age, what can we not take lightly? After all, this is what happens in this life. If we have to worry about it now, it's not all for the sake of our children. "They?" He said with envy, "Mrs. Su, your blessings are much better than mine. Your family is so prosperous, but I am not blessed with only two daughters."
Mrs. Su comforted her and said: "Although your relationship with your son is a little shallow, your relationship with your daughter is better. Your two young ladies are as good as the other in knowing books and being polite! To be honest, my eldest daughter is doing pretty well. My little daughter, it’s really hard to talk about her future!”
"You are too humble!" Wei Shengxian said hurriedly, "How can your daughter be wrong about the rules? No matter how bad you say, no one will believe her."
The two elders looked at the children and talked about children's stories, and occasionally chatted about new things in the imperial capital. They were all enjoying themselves... In this way, everyone was in harmony and harmony. On the day of the full moon -
Wei Changying got up early and had someone serve him. He took a quick bath and felt refreshed.
After changing into the gorgeous clothes that I had made in a hurry, I looked at myself in the mirror and saw that I was much plumper than before I was pregnant. I couldn't fit into the clothes I wore before. This dress was specially made for the full moon banquet. Because I was lying on the couch and couldn't get up when the measurements were taken, I left some room just in case. Fortunately, it didn't feel tight when I put it on like this. Nowadays, women are highly praised for their slim figure. Thinking of my previous slim figure that was envied by everyone, I can't help but feel a little regretful.
However, in the blink of an eye, when he saw the swaddle that Mrs. Huang had brought up, the little face sleeping in the swaddle had grown a lot. Wei Changying's heart instantly softened into a puddle of water, and all his regrets flew away. It's gone beyond the clouds.
"Why are you falling asleep now?" After saying this, Wei Changying was afraid of waking up his son. He carefully took it into his hands and held it in his arms. He lowered his voice and asked in a low voice, "Will he be asked to go out and show his face at the full moon banquet later?" Yes, have you been sleeping all this time?"
Huang said with a smile: "There is still some light before the banquet, so the young master will fall asleep now! When you are refreshed and refreshed, you can take him out during the banquet."
Wei Changying warned worriedly: "Auntie, please follow him out in person. Be sure to keep an eye on him. Don't let those frivolous people pick him up. It would be terrible if he falls."
"Young Madam, don't worry. The lady will carry you behind, and the Valve Master will carry him out in front. Both of them are so happy now that they can't say anything about the young master. They will take good care of the young master and won't let anyone touch him. . How can I hold the grandson of the Shen family just as a guest? It’s hard to even take a closer look at him if he’s not of a certain status.” Huang said with a smile, “Look at the Yushu who was just brought here. It’s said to be the clan leader. I personally ordered someone to take it out of the storehouse!”
When the guard chief Ying heard that his father-in-law had personally ordered someone to deliver something, he handed the swaddling clothes to Mr. Huang and left the inner room. When I went to the hall, I saw that the hall was full of jewels and jewels, all emanating from a jade tree. Her natal family's family status is not inferior to that of her husband's family. You can understand this jade tree just by looking at it. It is made of corals and repaired into branches, with jasper as its leaves, and the top is decorated with flowers of various colors of red, red, purple, purple, green, red and red. It is really dazzling when placed in the hall.
Guard Chief Ying is no stranger to gold, pearls and jade. What she likes is the metaphorical meaning of the jade tree sent by her father-in-law. Zhilan and jade trees grow in the courtyard. Since this allusion, the jade tree and zhilan are often used to describe the beautiful children. Shen Xuan sent this jade tree, and his sincere hope for Sun Chengcai was evident.
After the joy, Wei Changying became cautious again and asked Huang, "Has my aunt asked about it? Did my father give such a jade tree to Shu Ming when he was one month old?"
Mrs. Huang smiled slightly and said, "Young Madam, you are more and more thoughtful now." She praised her and continued, "Don't worry, Young Madam. Although the Lord is more interested in our room, the eldest room is the eldest room after all, and the Lord is the most supportive brother." How could the harmonious one be given to us alone? When the eldest son was full moon, the lord also gave him a similar one. My servant and Madam’s neighbor Manlou asked me that the one our young master got is better than the eldest son. Mr. Sun’s one is even an inch shorter!”
It doesn't matter if he is an inch shorter. Wei Changying pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Shu Ming's place also has them, so I can rest assured. These places don't need to be too pushy."
Mrs. Huang responded with a smile and said: "It's almost time. Shall the young lady lead the young master to the sedan chair and go to the upper room first?"
The eldest grandson has just welcomed his second male grandson when he is almost ten years old, so the Tutor's Mansion naturally has a great time to celebrate. There is definitely not enough space in Jintong Courtyard - Wei Changying's status is not enough to entertain all the guests. Therefore, the full moon banquet was hosted by Shen Xuan and his wife, so naturally they were held in the front yard and in the upper room.
Mrs. Su had long been sitting in the hall in festive clothes, looking forward to the arrival of her grandson. Of course, Shen Shujing, Shen Shuming and other grandchildren from the first and second bedrooms were also clustered in front of her knees, chirping. But Mrs. Su was obviously more concerned about her new grandson - Wei Chang Ying just carried her son in the door, and she greeted him hurriedly: "Stop being so formal, you are only one month old, come here and sit down!" He touched her again! Holding Shen Shuming's hand, he whispered, "Your brother will fall asleep now. Please be quiet and don't disturb him!"
Wei Changying handed the swaddling clothes to Mrs. Huang and handed it to Mrs. Su. He still insisted on saluting, and smiled and asked his niece and nephew, who were led by Shen Shujing to greet him, to stand up. Then he bowed in Duanmu Yan's words. He sat down, pursed his lips and said with a smile: "My daughter-in-law is a little late, so I asked my mother and sisters-in-law to wait here. It's really rude."
"Don't say that." Duanmu Yanyu turned around after hearing this and said to her with a slight smile, "We and our mother wanted to see our little nephew, so we got up here early. You are only one month old, so take care of yourself. I have to take care of my little nephew, so it’s actually very early for me to come here.”
Because these words were spoken by the second sister-in-law with whom he had always been at odds, Wei Changying looked at her in surprise and then said respectfully: "Thank you second sister-in-law for your thoughtfulness. I was just thinking about thanking the second sister-in-law when I can come out! The day I gave birth , but thanks to the second sister-in-law! I went back to my parents' house in the middle of the night to invite the eighth lady of your family! I don't know how to repay you for this kindness! You are relieved!"
Duanmu Yanyu listened with satisfaction in her heart, but she said: "Third brother and sister, you are out of touch when you say this. Since we are sisters-in-law, we are all a family. What should we not repay? I don't want to repay you for saying this." Love to listen…”
The two of them were being polite when suddenly Shen Shuming shouted excitedly: "Wake up! My brother is awake!"
Because Mrs. Su had previously asked everyone to be quiet and not to disturb her one-month-old grandson, everyone in the hall was talking quietly at this moment, but this one was particularly loud - Mrs. Liu hurriedly scolded: "Be gentle!"
Wei Changying was also startled. He was worried about his son and stood up subconsciously. He saw Shen Shuming lying in front of his grandmother, staring at his infant cousin. He didn't care about his mother's scolding and said to his grandmother with a smile: "Brother. His eyes are like his father’s.”
"I look like your third uncle." Mrs. Su corrected him with a smile - in fact, brothers Shen Zangli and Shen Zangfeng both look like Shen Xuan. Since this little grandson looks like one, he naturally looks like the other two, but since he is Shen Zangfeng's children, of course, compare themselves to Shen Zangfeng.
Shen Shuming said, "It also looks like my grandfather." He added, "The eyebrows are also similar."
He was lying on one side and watching. On the other side was the second grandson, Shen Shurou, and the third grandson, Shen Shuyue, standing opposite Mrs. Su, holding her grandmother's knees and looking curiously. In this way, the three grandchildren and Mrs. Su happened to be together. Surrounding the baby, Miss Shen Shujing, the eldest grandson, and Shen Shuyan, the fourth grandchild, lost their place.
Shen Shujing is eleven years old. She has been taught by her mother to learn how to be polite and behave like an eldest sister. She never competes with her younger brothers and sisters. Now it seems that everyone wants to see the little cousin, so they have already wisely given up their position. But Shen Shuyan, the youngest and shortest, gave up. First, she took advantage of her small age and squeezed in to get in. However, her brother and two sisters were greedy for her cousin and refused to let her in. Her sister-in-law Shen Shurou turned around and lectured her: "You are the youngest, you should watch last!"
The little girl looked up eagerly and waited for a long time when it was her turn. She started to cry when she flattened her mouth. Fortunately, Shen Shujing had been helping the elders to play with the younger sisters, and was very familiar with the temperaments of the younger sisters. Zhuang hurriedly went up to hug her and coaxed: "Yan'er also wants to see his brother, right? Shu Ming, please step aside and ask Yan'er to see his brother too... Speaking of which, Yan'er also has a younger brother! Come on, let's watch together. Look, isn’t my brother cute?”
Shen Shujing said this casually to make her cousin laugh out of tears, but Mrs. Liu frowned when she heard it, and glanced at Duanmu Yanyu calmly from the corner of her eyes. As expected, Duanmu Yanyu's face darkened, and she looked at her eldest niece coldly - Obviously, Shen Shujing's "Yan'er also has a younger brother", to Duanmu Yanyu's ears, it was natural that she was laughing at the second wife's childlessness.
