Chapter XXVIII
On the way back, Dugu Wei only thought about his brother, "Didn't the third brother and the fifth brother take Tian Feng's monthly profits, and they were all spent so quickly?" ”
Dugu Weize was surprised: "How does my sister know about this......"
reacted immediately, and expected that she was overheard when she was holding her sister and discussing with her younger brother how to make Tian Feng. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
He didn't hide it, and explained: "This is not the New Year, Tian Feng's kid likes to show off a few copper plates in his hand, and he calls friends when he is on vacation, and he is afraid that there is not much money at hand." It's not too late to wait for the spring to open and when he has plenty of money. ”
Du Yan smiled secretly, what kind of people are these brothers and sisters, Lord Dudu's education method is really different!
Dugu Weize felt that it might be a little inappropriate to teach his sister like this, and explained: "Let's not teach him a few stinky money, but just to teach him a lesson." We don't want the silver to be distributed to the poor people in the shantytowns. ”
Du Yan couldn't help but nod his head, Lord Du Governor really educated the law.
Dugu Weiwei nodded obediently, "I see." ”
Du Yan looked down at her, the little girl's well-behaved appearance made people forget that this was actually a little magic star.
At dinner, Dugu Weiwei stared at the thin orchid plain white porcelain wine cup at home and resented, why is it not a white porcelain with rich flowers?
Shen likes to be light and elegant, and the utensils at home are mostly elegant tones.
Unexpectedly, on the second day, Dugu Shaotang came back from the government and brought a set of fine white porcelain wine vessels with rich flowers.
Shen Shi was puzzled: "Where did it come from?" Bought? ”
Dugu Shaotang took advantage of Shen's inattention to squeeze Dugu Weiwei's eyes, and said: "I have no opinion on the road, I think it's very good-looking, I think this is not the New Year, it's good to buy it back and entertain guests." ”
Shen muttered in his heart: "What's the matter today, can you still think of hospitality?" ”
Dugu Weiwei knew in his heart that her father knew her plan, and silently bowed to Dugu Shaotang where Shen couldn't see, and then covered his mouth and snickered like a little mouse.
Shen became more and more suspicious, looked at this and that, and asked, "Your father and daughter are weird, but what is there to hide from me?" ”
"No, no." The father and daughter spoke in unison and quickly replied.
"My mother is busy during this time, and my father is also distressed about my mother, I am afraid that my mother will not think of it for a while, so I will prepare it for my mother first, so as to save time and chaos." Dugu Wei didn't blink his eyes, and he opened his mouth to come.
Shen's face turned red, and he scolded with a smile: "What do you know about children, talking nonsense." ”
Because he had to entertain guests recently, Shen didn't put the things in the warehouse, but only ordered the spring clothes to be placed in the small drawer of His Excellency Duobao. Dugu Weiwei saw the right time to take one and handed it to Du Yan.
Du Yan got the wine cup, and went out to several pharmacies to complete the medicine that day. When I go back, I will dispense, purify, remove color, and dry it on the inner wall of the cup.
This set is cooked, and it doesn't take much effort. But from time to time I felt funny in my heart, for this little naughty boy to mess around, he and Du Du, two people who were almost 100 years old together, followed up with ideas, and participated everywhere.
*********************************************
The festival gift given to her daughter by the Shen Mansion in the capital was delayed on the road until the twenty-ninth year due to the snow a few days ago, and it was followed by Mrs. Shen's letter to her daughter and son-in-law.
Shen arranged for the people to come, and then he was busy with Dugu Shaotang to open the family letter.
Shen buried his head and looked at a few lines, and the two eyebrows couldn't help frowning: "Dad doesn't let Qing'er participate in the Spring Festival?" Doesn't Dad often boast that Qing'er is excellent in trying to endure, and the article is old-fashioned? ”
Dugu Weiqing is the eldest son of the Dugu family, and he has been extremely intelligent since he was a child. The Dugu clan has been inherited for hundreds of years, most of the time in seclusion, and every time they are born, they are famous for their military exploits, such as Dugu Zhongzhi, who died in a battle with the Turks.
But Dugu Weiqing is an outlier in the Dugu family, he has completely inherited the talent of his grandfather, he is quick to think at a young age, brilliant in writing, and has been personally taught by Mrs. Shen since he was a child, and now he is the leader of the younger generation of literature, and is recognized as the champion talent.
Dugu Shaotang's arm rested on the sandalwood table on the couch at will, his index finger knocked on a few sides, pondered for a long time, waved his hand to let the servants in the room go out, and said without a beginning or a tail: "In recent years, the main exams of the Spring Festival have been Pei Changqing, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites. ”
"Pei Changqing's article is full of flowers and rhetoric, is my father afraid that Qing'er's article will be contrary to Pei Changqing and won't be able to get into his eyes?"
Dugu Shaotang shook his head and said, "Pei Changqing is the maternal uncle of Princess Gong. ”
King Gong Xiao Hua is the second son of Emperor Yuanyou, from Yu Guifei.
"So what?" The Shen family still couldn't understand that Pei Changqing was Princess Gong's maternal uncle, and that there was an inevitable connection between this matter and his son's scientific expedition.
"Pei Changqing is naturally the party of King Gong because of Princess Gong, King Gong has been wooing scholars and making friends over the years, and anyone with a discerning eye knows what is going on." Dugu Shaotang said disdainfully.
"Oh----" Shen Shi reacted and nodded: "If Qing'er passes the exam this year, Pei Changqing will be Qing'er's teacher, and in the eyes of the world, Qing'er will also be the Gongwang Party." Even our Dugu family, the Shen family, will inevitably be branded as King Gong's party. ”
Regardless of whether the master is the teacher, the teacher is the teacher, and the master and apprentice are no less than the relationship between father and son. After all, Shen is from a famous family, and although he is not sensitive to politics, he also knows the stakes involved.
Dugu Shaotang sneered, "The saint's body is still tough, and Concubine Yu and Prince Gong's mother and son have begun to jump......" He glanced back at Shen and said, "Our family doesn't need to stand in line, as long as we remember the word loyalty." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is eloquent and strategic, and his military exploits are brilliant, and King Gong's eyes are blind! ”
Shen said in his heart, saying that it was good to be loyal to the monarch, and on the other hand, he praised the prince, which was not obvious.
"It's okay if you don't take the exam this year, the left and right Qing'er are still under sixteen, so it's better to wait." Shen said.
****************************************************************************
During the New Year's Festival, Dugu Weiwei followed the Shen family's east family out to the west house, jumping up and down with children of the same age, causing adults to have a headache one by one.
Finally, it is the ninth day of the first lunar month, and this day is the day of the festival to feast on the guests.
Dugu Weiwei followed Shen into the main hall of the hospitality, and there were yellow rosewood official hat chairs in the hall, and there were already several ladies who had arrived early on the chairs. Behind the ladies stood their daughters-in-law or children.
Facing the main entrance sat Zheng, the wife of the Jiedu envoy, and her eldest daughter-in-law, Lu, also stood beside her.
Seeing that the maid had brought Shen in, Zheng hurriedly stood up to greet him, and said, "You're late, I'm still waiting for you to help entertain guests." Although the words are familiar and informal, the actions seem solemn.
Zheng pulled Dugu Weiwei to his side, pinched his little face and smiled: "I haven't seen Weiwei for some days, I can't pinch Weiwei's little face from time to time, I feel that my fingers are itchy." ”
Dugu Weiwei smiled with his face up, "Even if you pinch it, you should tickle your fingers." ”
Zheng was amused by her and laughed, and said with a smile: "This kid! ”
Shen stepped forward and helped Zheng with a hand, and said with a smile: "Madame, don't pay attention to her, it's just a person who is crazy." Sit down, I'm a frequent visitor, where do I need Madame to get up. ”
Dugu Weiwei's eyes swept away, Xiao Zheng was really sitting, looking at Shen with slanted eyes, and when Shen's voice fell, he immediately smiled and continued: "How precious your identity is, it is not right for the lobby sister to get up to greet you." ”
Although Zheng had a smile on his face, his eyes quickly swept over Xiao Zheng's face, and Xiao Zheng pursed his lips.
Shen didn't answer her words at all, didn't look at Xiao Zheng, and continued to say to Zheng: "Your back pain is just right, you have to rest." ”
The most face-slapping counterattack is to ignore it, Xiao Zheng saw that Shen was negligent, and said again: "My cousin's waist hurts again, and you have to get up to greet you when you come, right?" ”
Shen still ignored it, and even the expression on his face did not change in the slightest, and he greeted the lady next to him.
Xiao Zheng's face changed, and he stood up suddenly. Zheng handed over an eye knife, and she opened her mouth and sat down stupidly.
Dugu Weiwei actually couldn't understand why Xiao Zheng's family always looked at the Shen family unpleasantly, and had to stab two sentences from time to time. I only scolded in my heart: "Old pious woman, I will make you look good later!" ”
In fact, the wife who is also a subordinate of the Jiedu envoy, what kind of deep hatred can she have? It's just jealousy.
The Shen family was born in a famous family, with good looks, her husband's position is high enough, and she doesn't accept concubines, her sons are all outstanding, and her daughter is a ghost at a young age.
Compared with his background, compared with his appearance, compared with his husband, and compared with his children, the Shen family threw Xiao Zheng out of ten streets. This is called how can the little Zheng family, who thinks he was noble, not be jealous, how can he not be blushing?
The ladies each saluted, pulling the family routine, the children stood behind, you squeezed at me, I pouted at you, but they all stood in accordance with everyone's etiquette and rules.
When the people were almost here, Zheng let go and asked the concubine Yang Bingxiao to lead the ladies to the side hall to play. Zheng's concubines were all old and unsuitable for entertaining little girls, so they had to let their concubines come out to entertain guests.
Zheng's grandson, Yang Zhao, was in charge of greeting the children.
A few children in the hall can still salute peacefully, walk steadily, and as soon as they leave the hall door, they immediately turn into wild horses, huhula and go straight to the backyard.
The maid who was waiting was used to seeing this, so she hurriedly ran to keep up. A large number of people under the master cheered and ran away, and those who didn't know thought something was wrong.
Although Dugu Weiwei is young, he is a doll. Yang Zhao and others love to play with her, she is bold, and her ghost ideas are one after another, and she can always take everyone to play exciting and novel.
For this reason, Xiao Zheng said to others that the daughter-in-law of the Governor was talented in having fun, and no one could match it. Later, I learned that Dugu Weiwei was studying food at home and had achieved remarkable results, so he said again, this time eating, drinking, and having fun together, isn't this an out-and-out deceitful behavior.
Therefore, Dugu Wei's reputation as a woman slowly spread in the noble circle of Benzhou.
Shen was angry when he found out, and Dugu Shaotang also persuaded her: What does it matter if Wei Wei is happy?
That being said, but in private, Wei Ziyi was secretly rectified, who let him marry an annoying lady?
It's a pity that Wei Ziyi is often overwhelmed and still doesn't know the cause, which makes Dugu Shaotang feel less fulfilled.
