Knowing that Wei Changying and his entourage were arriving today, Shen Zangning took his nieces back to live at her parents' house two days in advance, and ordered people to carefully tidy up the mansion, which was already being cleaned every day.
When Wei Changying got off the car, he was surrounded by Shen Zangning and others and entered the house. Everything he saw along the way was neat and clean. He was very grateful to Shen Zangning: "Sister, you took the trouble! We set off in a hurry and walked for so many days. Now, It looks even better than when we were there.”
Shen Zangning said with a smile: "What Third Sister-in-law said is untrue. They are all from your place. I just came here to remind them that it was all their own fault. It is said that it was the servants trained by Third Sister-in-law." "
After chatting for a while, although Shen Zangning already knew some information about Ruiyu Hall from the letter, he still wanted to ask about it at this moment. The two sisters talked a few words about Fengzhou. Shen Zangning knew that his brother and sister-in-law had just come back and a lot of luggage had not been put away, so after asking about important things, she excused herself because she had something to do at home.
After she left, Wei Changying took his servants to arrange things. He was very surprised when he saw the plump Shen Shujing running over to help: "Where's Diandian? You have left the cabinet now. When we come back, you should take a look and then go back." There are no elders above Mo Binwei, but you have to watch over everything, right?"
Shen Shujing held her arm with a smile: "Mr. Diandian is holding her, he is here too - now we are just the husband and wife taking Diandian. There are not many people to serve, and there is nothing going on at home and outside. Come back and help your aunt. It should be."
After hearing this, Wei Changying no longer declined her help, and patted the back of her hand with a smile: "But I originally planned to call you over tomorrow to discuss the matter."
"What does aunt want to discuss with me?" Shen Shujing asked curiously.
"You'll know later." Wei Changying gave her up.
It was rare for Wei Changying to return to his natal family, and he had an extraordinary status in his natal family, so when he returned this time, Fengzhou Tuyi brought a lot of people with him.
Even if all the nieces and nephews came to help, Huang, He and others were still able to do the job, and they didn't get everything done until night. In the end, I had to ask someone to take out the items that were going to be distributed to relatives and friends. Those for personal use and spares were piled into the warehouse first, and then packed away when they were empty.
Of course he was exhausted after such a day. Wei Changying stayed with Shen Shujing and his wife for one night, but he didn't even bother to ask Shen Zangfeng if Mo Binwei came over and said anything.
The next day, Shen Shujing brought Mo Diandian to greet her. Wei Changying had a good night's sleep and regained some energy. After teasing Mo Diandian with her for a while, he asked, "Does this child have a name? What is his name?"
Shen Shujing said with a smile: "My husband originally planned to ask Uncle Wei to name him, but Uncle Wei is not in good health right now and he didn't dare to disturb him. As a result, the Holy Father found out about it two days ago and gave him the name 'Xuanwen'."
Wei Changying was not surprised that the new emperor gave Mo Diandian a name. With Mo Binwei's contribution and qualifications, this was just a small matter. It was no wonder that he didn't hear the news on the way. At this moment, he smiled and said: "'Bin Wei' and 'Xuan Wen' are both words to praise literary talent, but Bin Wei is better at military strategy. This child has such a father. It goes without saying that he will be good at military strategy in the future, but with you. Thanks to my mother’s teachings, I am sure that I will be good at literary matters, and I will definitely be a talented person in both civil and military matters when I grow up.”
Shen Shujing knew that her aunt was just saying something nice. If parents were outstanding, their children could inherit everything - how could such a good thing be possible
But I am always happy when my child is blessed.
The aunt and nephew talked a few words about their children. Shen Shujing saw that her aunt wanted to talk to her about something serious, so she asked someone to take Mo Diandian down. As expected, Mo Diandian left. Wei Changying dismissed the people around him, took Shen Shujing's hand and said, "When I returned to Fengzhou this time, I asked my grandmother to visit me. The Wei family, the Song family, and the Su family were not suitable." Shu Ming’s girls. To be honest, I don’t get along with Shu Ming that much, so I’m not sure what kind of girl he likes... You are his sister, so you know a little bit about his thoughts. What do you think should be the requirements for hiring him? Where is the legal wife?”
Shen Shujing was stunned for a moment, with a flash of joy in his eyes, and said quickly: "I don't dare to take what my aunt said! My parents make the final decision on this important matter of marriage. Our parents are gone, and my uncle and aunt are like parents - as long as they are the elders It must be a good choice!”
As soon as Wei Changying saw her expression, he knew that if he didn't mention it when he came back this time, Shen Shujing would probably be making innuendo on his brother's behalf. Also, Shen Shujing was already sixteen when he was deceived into going to Beirong. Now he is nearly 10 years old. Even if he is a man, if he doesn't talk about this important life event, who cares about him can't be anxious
He is the eldest grandson of the Shen family. Even if he is now sent to work in the Mengshan jade mine, it is impossible for no one in the Shen family to think of his marriage. The reason why there has been no movement is that they are still afraid of Wei Changying - which means that if Shen Shuming's marriage is to be happy for everyone, Wei Changying has to take the initiative, which will be the most harmonious.
And now that Wei Changying has turned this corner, he naturally refuses to bear the charge of deliberately delaying his nephew's lifelong events. At this moment, she took Shen Shujing's hand and said sincerely: "That's not what you said! This husband and wife are one, they are going to live together for a lifetime. Even though we elders have experienced more things than you, we don't know everything. Everyone understands! What if the person you choose is good but doesn’t suit Shu Ming?”
Without waiting for Shen Shujing to speak, she added, "Shu Ming was sent to the Mengshan jade mine earlier. I heard your third uncle said that he wanted to give him a good grinding. In addition, we were all in Xiliang at that time, no It was convenient for him to meet someone. Later, when I arrived in the imperial capital, as you know, there were too many things and the situation was not suitable for marriage negotiations. But last year, I received news from the mine that Shu Ming was very decadent! "
"I originally planned to hold off on his marriage because I was afraid of distracting him. But now he has lost all enthusiasm. I think it is better to tell him a good wife as soon as possible, so as to give him some advice..." At this point He lowered his voice and said what he had said to Shen Zangfeng, "Otherwise, your third uncle will get angry and punish him for ten years. How can you bring him back in advance without any credit? Your parents only have a son, so how can you really ask him to work in the mine for ten years?" ah?!"
Shen Shujing's eyes were slightly red, because it was inconvenient for him to stand up because he was holding the hand of Wei Changying, so he had to make a salute gesture and choked up: "Uncle and aunt worked hard, Shu Ming is really too ignorant..."
"Is there any kid whose family doesn't get into trouble?" Wei Changying sighed and said, "It's just that sometimes when things get serious, I have to show off... Oh, speaking of the past, I also have to help Guang'er. You brothers and sisters, please apologize, that child... I'm afraid he was a little stimulated when the imperial capital fell, and we didn't find out!"
He told her about Shen Shuguang being beaten for Shen Shuxie and reprimanding four-year-old Su Feiyu in public, and sighed, "I originally thought that he was confused at Diecuiguan, but after this incident, I realized that the child had something on his mind. If you keep it, you know the importance, but you can't hold it back... But at the beginning... "
"Auntie, if you say that, our siblings don't know how to stand up." Shen Shujing has always been gentle and considerate. At this moment, she naturally refused to let Wei Changying continue to apologize, and hurriedly stopped her, "If Shu Ming hadn't been confused. How could there be so many things before? In the final analysis, it’s all Shu Ming’s fault!”
"Let's not talk about these things." Seeing that the words had been spoken, Guard Chief Ying comforted his niece and reiterated the truth, "Now that the new dynasty has been established, all the families who used to go back to their ancestral homes or temporarily moved to other places to avoid the war , are returning to the capital one after another... It’s a good time to meet someone. What kind of girl does Shu Ming like? Even if they are beautiful, they are all fat and thin, right? "
Shen Shujing thanked Shen Shuming again, but she didn't know what kind of wife Shen Shuming liked. After all, she hadn't seen Shen Shuming for several years, and Shen Shuming usually wouldn't tell her sister about herself when she was free. What does a wife look like in your mind
So it’s still the same sentence, “The one chosen by my aunt must be good.”
"Or write a letter and ask him?" Wei Changying pondered for a while and decided, "I'll figure out the character here first, and then write a letter back to Xiliang and ask your fifth aunt to send someone to ask him... Well, I can't Maybe ask him to get married in Mengshan! Or ask him to go back to Mingpeitang first, or simply ask him to come to the imperial capital? "
"Let's go back to Mingpeitang first." Shen Zangfeng said.
Shen Shujing was very measured. She was extremely grateful that her aunt finally thought of marrying her brother. As for calling her brother back to the family from the mine now, she refused to answer, for fear of appearing to be overreaching.
So Wei Changying went to Shen Zangfeng to discuss it. After returning to the imperial capital, Shen Zangfeng was actually very busy, but he felt guilty that he had spent less time with his wife and been away from his wife since they got married, so no matter how busy he was, he still had to find time to eat with Wei Changying. While the servants were preparing the meal, Wei Changying told him his plan: "Shu Ming is the eldest grandson of the eldest family member. Even if he is not, can we, the direct son of the Shen family, get married in Mengshan? Now that we have to negotiate for his marriage. , why not call him home first... But where? "
"The Imperial Capital is still in an undercurrent, Shu Ming... Now we have no time to take care of him, and we said we would punish him for ten years, how long has it been? Marrying a wife is a reason, but I can get by in Mingpeitang, and I came to the Imperial Capital all at once , it might make people think that I am kidding him by punishing him," Shen Zangfeng said, "It happens that my second brother is at home, so I asked my second brother to persuade him."
Wei Changying also prefers to let Shen Shuming stay in Xiliang. As Shen Zangfeng said, Shen Shuming's nephew is not smart enough and is easily fooled. He used to be hostile to his uncle and aunt... Who knows that in the past few years, he will Is it progress or regression? Call him to the imperial capital now to stop being used by others - isn't it enough that he was tricked by him last time
Shen Shuming's matter has come to an end here. It always takes time and opportunity to meet people. But rumors about Shen Shuyan's marriage can be revealed - although because Shen Shuming's cousin is not engaged, Wei Shanshi will wait a while before sending someone, but the word can be passed on.
It's not for anything else, it's mainly because after the decline of the imperial capital, the originally limited number of legitimate daughters of each family, especially the six clans in the sea, has become rare.
There are even fewer people who are not yet married but are still of marriageable age - a lady like Shen Shuyan, who is both talented and good-looking and became famous at a young age, is simply overtaking her! There are so many people asking for relatives that Shen Shujing's limelight back then was almost overshadowed!
After all, although Shen Shujing was outstanding at that time, there were many noble ladies in the imperial capital at that time!
Originally, the Chief of Guard Ying thought that the Shen family would be feared by the new dynasty, and the younger generations might suffer some injustice in their marriages. However, he still underestimated the advantages of the clan - just like what Pei said, if he is feared and not reused, he will always be one of the six clans in the country. one! Can the new dynasty continue to suppress the Shen family? !
If you put your family status here, you won’t be afraid of the day when you don’t get ahead—besides, everyone will recognize the girl from everyone! Among the six clans today, in terms of noble status, talent and education, there is no one more outstanding than Shen Shuyan. The only unmarried daughter of the Su family is the four-year-old Su Feiyu; There is simply no unmarried legitimate daughter; the Song family's legitimate daughter is younger than Su Feiyu.
Duanmu Xinmiao, the eighth daughter of the Duanmu family, is in a special situation. Her cousin Duanmu Huitong is about the same age as Shen Shuyan. After her parents died during the fall of the imperial capital, she was taught by her aunt Su Yufei, who was born in the third daughter of the Su family. The girls' middle school can be on an equal footing with Shen Shuyan - Donghu Liu family also has several similar girls, but in front of Shen Shuyan's talent of "reciting poems while pointing at objects at the age of three", the young ladies from these two families suddenly eclipse...
All in all, both Wei Changying and Shen Zangfeng were very busy now and really had no time to deal with the successive marriage proposers, so they privately told Shen Shuyan about Wei Shanshi's situation. Seeing that Shen Shuyan was not dissatisfied, they let her Wei Changfeng spread the news: Wei Changxu had heard for a long time that the Shen family had such an outstanding legitimate daughter, so he took advantage of his cousin and her husband to go home to visit relatives, and settled matters for his eldest son, and let the Shen family keep all the tokens. Down!
In this way, the courtyard is quieter.
But… (To be continued)
