As expected, Shen Shuyan had a tougher temperament than Shen Shurou. According to Jiang Heyue's private report, after she returned to her yard, she expelled all the servants, including Jiang Heyue, from the inner room, and locked herself up for a day and a night. The central guard chief Ying sent someone to deliver the soothing soup, but he also refused to take it.
After a day and a night, Jiang Heyue was really worried. She called outside for a long time but got no answer, so she said she was going to find someone else. At this time, the door opened, and Shen Shuyan walked out calmly, saying that she was fine, so she didn't need to alarm the elders anymore.
Over the next few days, she got up early and went to bed early. In addition to greeting her, she read books and taught her servants how to practice calligraphy and prose. Occasionally, when she got interested, she even painted a few paintings... She also meticulously took photos of the nursing methods left by Ji Qubing. As he walked, he really thought about not touching his body anymore, and he didn't hate Shen Lianshi so much that he thought about it - Wei Changying finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Huo Qingling didn't know what was going on, and was very impressed by Wei Changying's ability to persuade Shen Shuyan through a long talk. When the two sisters-in-law saw each other today, she also said: "Sister-in-law three is really Huizhilanxin, Yan'er is so kind She is the most stubborn child in our family. I have tried to persuade her so many times in the past, but she can't turn around this time. As soon as she said it, she actually figured it out! If it weren't for the third sister-in-law, this child... Oh!
Wei Changying put down the tea bowl and said with a smile: "Don't put a high hat on me. How can outsiders explain the relationship between father and daughter? She has to understand it herself! You also explain it to her from time to time. It makes sense, so I happened to catch up on the opportunity to give her a little credit - this child is also smart, and if we want to take credit, none of us can escape!"
"It sounds like I'm going around the corner to ask for credit!" Huo Qingling joked, looked at the snow outside the glazed window, and asked, "Autumn is coming soon. Sister-in-law Wu will take Da'er and He'er this year." Come back for the New Year?”
The twins in the fifth room were named relatively late, mainly because Shen Zangji and Su Yuyin were new parents, and they were very excited to have two sons at once.
The couple, who were originally very harmonious, had quarreled countless times over the naming matter - until the news of the birth of twins was reported here, they still could not decide. As a result, after Shen Lianshi and Shen Zangfeng found out, the two brothers One person started another, and the matter was forcibly decided...
Shen Lianshi named the younger of his twins Shuda, and Shen Zangfeng named his younger brother Shuhe. Therefore, Shen Cangji and Su Yuyin went through countless classics and quarreled with each other in private, and all their efforts were in vain. After Shen Cangji returned to Xiliang, he complained a few times to his two brothers about this matter, but He was scolded by both of them, saying that none of his previous names were as good as these two...
At that time, Wei Changying and Huo Qingling heard this in the backyard and both fell down laughing. Wei Changying also asked Shen Zangfeng: "The fifth brother and the fifth brother and sister have spent several months thinking about this good name in the world. You It's better to go with the second brother. After knowing this, it took less than half an hour to think about it... Are the names that the fifth brother and the fifth brother and sister thought of not as good as you think? "
Because there was no one else in the inner room at that time, Shen Zangfeng told the truth: "In the past, Guang'er and Yi'er were named by their father. Fortunately, we have a second son who hurriedly landed in Xiliang. It was my turn to give a name, but my father was not happy when he returned and found various reasons to scold me... Isn't this why I should bully my fifth brother now that I can? "
"You two are such good brothers!" Wei Changying was laughing so hard that he couldn't help but say that Shen Zangji and Su Yuyin were pitiful.
... Now hearing Huo Qingling mention Shen Shuda and Shen Shuhe, Wei Changying's lips curled up, but his face became darker again and said: "Originally, she would take our two little ones with her in the summer. The nephew came back together. But... Now that Shu Ming is there, my husband is afraid that Shu Ming has never had any problems before, so he will feel uncomfortable if he goes there. He thinks that although the fifth brother and sister are female relatives, they are elders after all, so if anything happens. Give him the palm of your hand... I was asked to write a letter to my fifth younger sister and ask her to come back next year!"
In fact, it's not all for Shen Shuming, but also for the fact that Shen Shuda and Shen Shuhe still seem to be older than everyone knows, so they want to take care of them for a few more months. At that time, it was assumed that they were extraordinarily fat...
So this time Shen Shuming became a ready-made reason.
Huo Qingling didn't know the secret birth dates of Wufang's two children. He only knew that it was all because of Shen Shuming. Shen Shuming was deceived by someone in the imperial capital and tricked the entire Shen family until now. Shen Zangfeng was among them. At one point, she wanted to exchange her second son for him, but in the end, she was persuaded by her confidants to replace him. However, as Shen Shuxie's biological mother, Wei Changying must not be able to see this nephew again - this is what Huo Qing, a first-time mother, Ling can also understand.
So I changed the topic again: "Although Yan'er knows how to cherish herself now, I think she is still less talkative than before. I think she usually stays alone in the house, but now it's too cold to let her go out and walk around. , I’m lonely with only the maid. Why don’t I ask her to help me when it’s my eldest sister’s birthday in a few days? Let’s get acquainted with each other and talk more.”
Wei Changying saw what she was thinking and said with a faint smile: "That's good. I think Xi'er can also come with us. Big sister will raise her for a while and let the child fulfill her filial piety." He added, "I will take the beautiful girl to her by then." I also called her over to tell her a few things. These children are already half-grown and it’s time for them to learn something. It just so happened that the three of us organized this celebration banquet together.”
Huo Qingling smiled and said, "Sister-in-law is still thoughtful."
The two talked about some trivial matters, and Huo Qingling left.
Wei Changying ordered people to find the three girls and told them about the banquet and asked them to do it carefully.
Shen Zangzhu has no interest in her own birthday because she is a widow. She didn't even hold a banquet when she was thirty years old, let alone not even one year old now. Therefore, when Wei Changying proposed to hold a family dinner for her to celebrate her filial piety the year before last, she was very opposed to it. Later, Wei Changying said that several girls in the family were about to leave the government. How could we not give them practice in many things
Therefore, in order for the female juniors in the family to fully exercise their ability to do things, and to prevent outsiders from questioning the Shen family's tutoring after they come out of the cabinet, the Shen family will seriously organize a birthday event for the past two years no matter whose birthday it is.
However, Shen Shujing was the one who was most eager to leave the cabinet before. Shen Shujing went down, because Shen Shurou and Shen Shuyue were gone, and Shen Shuyan, Shen Shuxi and Ji Yiren all had a few years to go before leaving the cabinet. They have always been favored by their elders and are rarely forced to learn or do anything, so their lives are very leisurely.
So Shen Zangzhu originally thought that there would be no need to do it this year.
She received the news that Lianju from Wei Changying's side would still hold a banquet to celebrate this year, and asked in surprise: "Is it Miss Ji and Zhu Lei?" The matter between these two people has been decided, although regarding this marriage, Except for Ji Yiren, everyone including Zhu Lei wanted to cry but had no tears...
Shen Zangzhu thought that after Shen Shujing, Wei Changying would start training his adopted daughter Ji Yiren. In her heart, she felt that it was not necessary - Zhu Lei was not a member of a famous family, so being his wife and giving him some casual lessons in how to behave was enough.
However, Shen Zangzhu didn't want to offend his sister-in-law. After asking, he thought about how he would smooth things over for Ji Yiren if she didn't do well... Unexpectedly, Lianju said, "Not only do we let Miss Ji practice, but also The fourth and fifth ladies in our family.”
Shen Zangzhu was very surprised: "Are Yan'er and Xi'er still young?"
"Madam said that the three young ladies are now half-grown. In fact, they should have started practicing two years ago. But at that time, the fourth aunt's wife and the fourth young lady were still at home." Lianju explained, "So I didn't care at that time. "Furthermore, when it comes to your ability to do things, it's good to learn it early." Then she smiled and said, "Miss Wu really hopes to be able to show her filial piety to you!"
Hearing that Shen Shuxi had such intentions, Shen Zangzhu was in a good mood and said with a smile: "That's why the third brother and sister gave her this opportunity!"
Just asked, "What do you want me to do?"
"Don't do anything. Madam said that if possible, if the Fourth Miss and the Fifth Miss come to ask you what you like, don't say anything and let them guess!" Lianju said with a smile, "When the banquet is over, Madam, I would like you to explain the shortcomings to the ladies."
Wei Changying can also point out this shortcoming, but for Shen Zangzhu, it is out of respect for Shen Zangzhu. Shen Zangzhu said hurriedly: "I am huddled in this room now. I can't do anything except keep an eye on Xi'er to see if she is obedient. How can I tell them this? I still need the three younger siblings to come!"
At this time, nothing had been done. Lianju just said a word and said with a smile: "I will send a message now, and then the lady will come to invite you in person... Please remember, don't give them any advice." Ah! Madam, I want to see how attentive the ladies are this time!"
The knowledge of observing words and colors has many places where it needs to be used and can be taught.
Shen Zangzhu naturally understood that both Shen Shuyan and Shen Shuxi, especially Ji Yiren, needed detailed guidance on this point, and promised: "I won't tell them anything, just see what they will give me this time." What a scene!”
After breaking the internal and external cooperation between Shen Zangzhu and taking shortcuts after receiving the task, the three girls gathered together to discuss among themselves -
According to Ji Yiren and Shen Shuxi's ideas, even without Shen Zangzhu's guidance, there is nothing difficult to do. They can do whatever they did in previous years! The servants are all ready-made, so if you ask the steward, can you still imitate the gourd? In previous years, it was hosted by Shen Shujing and others. They followed the rules of their cousins and aunts. Even if they couldn't excel, they certainly couldn't make mistakes!
If only the two of them were to do this...
Then you can finish talking about the matter in a few words and start making preparations.
but!
There is also Shen Shuyan.
It's not for nothing that Shen Shuyan is privately considered to be the most difficult person to serve in this generation of the Shen family, or even in the three generations above and below. She is a bit arrogant because she prides herself on being an educated person, and she became famous early.
Generally speaking, they have a picky temperament and are extremely competitive.
In her words, it was either she didn't interfere in the matter, and the things she intervened in didn't involve following what others did - others followed her and it was just as good!
All in all, both Shen Shuxi and Ji Yiren wanted to copy Shen Shujing's trouble-free plan, but they were stopped by Shen Shuyan who jumped on her feet and threw the tea bowl and the long case!
It must be done well and cannot be copied!
The best thing is to do it so that no one will praise it and no one will envy it... So Ji Yiren and Shen Shuxi both waved their hands and left: "Then Fourth Sister (Shu Yan), you think about it, tell us when you have thought about it, and we will take action for you! ” (To be continued)
