The titles of foreign women in the early Northern Song Dynasty basically followed the Tang Dynasty and were divided into nine grades. The eldest princess, the eldest princess, the princess, the county master and the county master were given to the royal family and the imperial family. , County lords are given to the family members of officials, some women who have been honored in society, and the like.
This time, after some preparations, Renzong issued a decree to make Zheng Ping the Queen Mother of Hanoi County and reward her for being a good child. There was also Shuangyi, who was also named the ruler of Qinghe County, and gave marriage to Shen Kuo.
Generally speaking, the female family members of officials are awarded to the officials' mothers and wives, and have nothing to do with their sisters. Moreover, the titles generally correspond to the husband's official position and will not exceed them.
But when Yun Yan went home, the two situations were different. As for Zheng Ping, her son didn't act as an official at all, and only vaguely exaggerated her intentions. As for Shuang Yi, let's compare her fiance's grades.
Zheng Ping also said that since there is an example of her, then the title of Yun Yanhui's wife in the future can be imagined. She is Mrs. Jun, and Yun Yanhui's wife is Mrs. Jun. This is actually the same level, just to distinguish between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
The Secretary Feng Department of the Ministry of Personnel drafted the title, and then the official court issued the title and gift, and when Yunyan returned home, there were officially two more foreign women. Of course, after Shuang Yi gets married, there will be only one left.
The Zheng family only invited Zheng Ping back to dinner during the Chinese New Year, and now they felt honored and invited Zheng Ping back to celebrate.
When Zheng Ping eloped, who would have thought of this day. Not to mention that her ex-husband was a Miao person, and later she was dead without a corpse, and she still stubbornly refused to go back.
Even later, the people who remarried were just ordinary people.
Fortunately, I gave birth to a good son, and before he could be crowned, he was already a tyrant in Tokyo...
"Are you going back to Zheng's house for dinner? It's not New Year's Day, so there's no need to go..." Yun Yan murmured back.
"Shuang Yi is about to get married, so it's better to go back." Zheng Ping thought about it carefully, "You have to think about Shuang Yi, after all, her surname is Zheng."
If Shuangyi married an ordinary person, it would be fine, but Shen Kuo was also an official family, and she was an official in the court. Shuangyi had to deal with her husband's family and Shen Kuo's female relatives. She had to enter Bianjing's life women's social circle. Just relying on being able to fight is not enough.
Yun Yan recalled that there were so many women in the Zheng family, and the relationship between various in-laws and reconciliation with the Zheng family was indeed beneficial to Shuangyi's future communication. He couldn't help but wonder if Zheng Ping's reluctance was because he thought about Shuangyi.
"Alright then, I'll accompany you back." Yun Yan replied.
Previously, only Zheng Ping went back during Chinese New Year, and the elders of the Zheng family asked.
Zheng Ping smiled, "Now, aren't you afraid that they will introduce you to girls?"
Yun Yanhui is not narcissistic, but he thinks that the Zheng family is still very likely to want to kiss him...
Yun Yan smiled back and said, "No matter how afraid you are, we have to go. It is related to the happiness of our Shuangyi in the future."
Shuang Yi sat aside and said listlessly: "Why is it so troublesome..."
"Life is like this, how can everything go well? Even if I help you find a husband who has a horse and a house, and whose parents are both deceased, it's not necessarily that you don't have to deal with other women." Yun Yan replied.
This Shen Kuo is enough, his father is an official in another place, and his hometown is far away, so he may not see him once a year. After getting married, the young couple can live a long time in the world.
Zheng Ping heard him say that there are horses and houses, and both parents died, so she slapped her with a slap, "What nonsense are you talking about."
Both parents died, what a broken condition, was said by Yan Ge'er as if it was very popular.
Of course, being popular is not popular in this era, Yun Yan sighed back: "It's not that I am intimidating you. After you become a wife, your behavior will be restrained a lot, or you will be punished, and it will be very ugly. So, you will go out in the future. Or maybe you should just dress up in disguise…”
Shuang Yi seemed to understand in an instant why Yun Yan Hui had been preventing him from being titled before, and couldn't help but ponder: "It's so troublesome, will Heli be affected?"
Zheng Ping: "??"
Shuang Yi: "Brother Yan told me, don't rush to have children after getting married, marriage is not a one-time decision for a lifetime..."
Before she could finish speaking, Zheng Ping picked up the little broom that was sweeping the bed and patted Yun Yanhui on her body, causing Yun Yan to go back to the room and run around, "Tell your sister about this!"
Yun Yanhui didn't dare to resist, so he could only run around, "Shen Cunzhong has no opinion, what are you mad at! Your character is too noble, and it's not your own family!"
Zheng Ping saw it right at a glance, "Shen Cunzhong has no opinion, you didn't tell him, did you?"
To let Shen Kuo know that Yunyan's Muslim sister also has an arrow to get married. If it can't be a big deal, Shen Kuo won't be so angry
Yun Yan smiled back, and simply opened the door and escaped.
As soon as he went out, he happened to see Shen Kuo appearing at the gate of the courtyard with a box of snacks, "Brother Yan, what's the matter with you?"
"It's nothing," Yun Yan replied nonchalantly, "Why are you here again? Don't come here too often. Shuangyi is busy embroidering ducks for you now. I'm sorry, you are always here to disturb her mind."
The wedding date is scheduled for the end of the year. Shuang Yi is currently embroidering a dowry for herself. The more she embroiders, the more desperate she is. Yun Yanhui has already thought about it. Zheng Ping is not enough for one person. The daughters of the Zheng family.
"I didn't see her either, I just gave something..." Shen Kuo said embarrassedly, "I tasted this today and it was delicious, so I bought a box."
"Tsk tsk..." Yun Yan looked back and saw that Shen Kuo had successfully become a lover.
…
A few days later, Yun Yanhui went to Zheng's house with Zheng Ping and Shuang Yi, and the Zheng's family was preparing as if they were New Year's Eve.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to stay here, Yun Yan returned to chat with Zheng Li. He felt that what Zheng Ping said was right, so he decided to go a little further and let Zheng Li agree to ask Shuang Yi to marry at the Zheng family and officially marry as the daughter of the Zheng family.
Although Yun Yanhui didn't have a good impression of the Zheng family, the two sides wouldn't end up dying. This time there was a demand, and Yun Yanhui was completely in the mindset of making a deal.
After all, except for Zheng Ling, he has no relationship with the Zheng family.
Zheng Li was very sorry to see his attitude clearly stated, but judging from their previous behavior, it was already very good, and the meal was always eaten one bite at a time.
So, Zheng Li also agreed, and even wanted to help arrange the marriage.
No matter how capable Yun Yanhui was, he couldn't handle this kind of thing, but the Zheng family was very familiar with doing this kind of thing, and he must have done it with a lot of face, so he accepted it.
There is also a small additional condition, that is, Shuangyi's embroidery is very poor, and it is necessary to trouble the female relatives of the Zheng family to contribute to the collective strength.
Zheng Li wanted to say something very much, and looked back at Yun Yan several times.
Yun Yan took a sip of tea back: "If you have anything to say, just say it, uncle."
- Shuangyi is about to marry as the daughter of the Zheng family, can he still call people Zhiyuan
Zheng Li said quietly, "When Ah Ping was in the boudoir, needlework was one of the best among the sisters in the entire clan. Shuang Yi was taught by her since she was a child. How could Nvhong be so bad?"
Zheng Li once asked Zheng Ling privately and cared about Yun Yanhui's situation. He only knew that Yun Yanhui's needlework was very good. Of course, he thought Shuangyi was better.
Who knows, only after reading it, Shuangyi's needlework is simply outrageous. It could be said that there was a hundred Yunyan Hui gap between Shuang Yi and Zheng Ping.
Yun Yan Hui: "Because our family was poor when we were young, we always used our daughter as our son and our son as an animal."
Zheng Li: "..."
As soon as he said this, Zheng Hao suddenly fell silent, it was so embarrassing!
In fact, it was entirely because Shuang Yi didn't have this talent, Yun Yan came back to honor her, and secondly, when he said this, he was able to immediately stop Zheng Li's mouth.
After a long while, Zheng Yan said embarrassingly: "When the time comes, I will choose two maids with good sewing skills and marry them."
Yun Yan nodded indifferently.
At this time, Zheng Ling ran in, "Brother Yan, Aweng, Brother Yan, will you sleep in my yard at night?"
Zheng Li slapped his palm on the table and said angrily, "What are you calling?"
Zheng Ling was frightened, and almost knelt down with his legs soft, "I, I, I..."
Zheng Li snorted, "Can you call Brother Yan? You have to call Cousin in an orderly manner."
Zheng Ling called Yun Yan back in annoyance. He used to call Yun Yan back at home, but Yun Yan didn't recognize it at home. Later, he became more relaxed, and it was fine for him to call him Yan Ge'er.
Who knows, now it's suddenly strict again.
"Uncle, let's go down to play, we'll talk next time." Yun Yanhui simply took this opportunity to go out.
"Okay." Zheng Li's tone softened a little. "I'll take your other nephews with you. I always tell them to grow up with you. It's just that there is no chance, so you finally came back."
"Yeah." Yun Yan responded and went out with Zheng Ling.
Zheng Ling said in surprise: "This... Brother Yan, your name is Uncle A Weng, do you recognize it?"
"Cousin!" Yun Yanhui tapped him on the head, "You child, why are you so rude."
Zheng Ling: "..."
Zheng Ling was very depressed, and Yun Yan replied, "Hey, do I have a lot of cousins, nephews, etc., take me to see you."
"Oh..." Because of the big wedding, many relatives, out-married daughters and the like came to the mansion, and there were indeed many younger generations. Not only cousins, nephews, but even grand-nephews.
Zheng Ping eloped, and Yun Da has long since passed away. For so many years, Yun Yanhui has never met so many relatives—at least one platoon’s nephew and nephew!
After recognizing one by one, Yun Yan turned to Zheng Ling and said, "Yes, I think anyone is better than you."
Zheng Ling was angry, "I'm ignoring you!"
Yun Yan replied, "Aiya, how come you are... like Zhao Yunchu."
Zheng Ling: "...Did you mean to be like a little lady?"
Yun Yan replied vaguely: "It's almost the same, it's almost the same."
Zheng Ling: "..."
"Speaking of which, what happened to you and Zhao Yunchu?" Zheng Ling finally turned sharp, after all, he is someone who knows the inside story, so he won't be deceived by any brotherly love, "You even reported to him. Celebrating your birthday? You guys are not normal! Why didn't you report to your sister to recruit a son-in-law?"
"..." Yun Yan looked back at the sky, "Don't mention, the Tokyo Daily is also preparing to receive a marriage advertisement..."
Zheng Ling held on to it, "Don't change the subject."
Yun Yanhui had to touch his face and said, "I really didn't want to soak him, I just took the opportunity to give an example to make a fortune!"
