Chapter 217 Gathering
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, after getting up early in the morning and having breakfast, Zhen Wanyi dressed up and went to Zhen's Mansion in the east of the city with Qi Rong, followed by a carriage behind the sedan chair. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The Zhen brothers picked up people at the gate and took them directly to the backyard, the fourth master and the fourth wife were there, and it was a good idea to meet each other.
Finally, after greeting her, the fourth wife also pulled Zhen Wanyi to let her and Qi Rong sit on the head, Zhen Wanyi was unwilling, "Mother, today's Mid-Autumn Festival son-in-law is going to the Yue family, you and your father are elders, so naturally you should sit in the main seat, let's sit down, if you don't sit, we can't sit down." ”
The fourth old man laughed and patted Qi Rong, who was holding his arm, "That's okay, I'll sit on this throne today." ”
As soon as the fourth master sat down, the fourth lady glared at him and sat down with a smile, "This is really embarrassing." ”
Qi Rong took Zhen Wanyi to sit down in the lower left, opposite the Zhen brothers, and Yu Jinzhen helped in the kitchen.
"I guess it's going to end this time. ”
Zhen Mingjie smiled and nodded, a confident smile flashed on his face, "It's time to try it after preparing for so long." ”
Qi Rong shook his head, "This year's chief examiner is Lord Liu Qiliu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he is a two-list jinshi in the year of Xin, advocating the way of Confucius and Mencius, speaking orthodoxy, and the style of writing is also the most fond of thick and down-to-earth texts. ”
Zhen Mingjie took the manuscript handed over by Qi Rong and was extremely happy, "Great, I have been inquiring about the preferences of this year's examiner a few days ago, but this Lord Liu lives in a shallow way, and has very little communication on weekdays, many people are not familiar with him, and Yinshan has come to Tai Chi when this manuscript comes." After saying that, he bowed deeply, Qi Rong stepped forward to help him up, and smiled lightly, as if the manuscript he exchanged for a landscape map of a Qinhu monk was like an ordinary piece of clear paper.
The fourth old man and the fourth wife looked at this scene and smiled toothlessly, and the old man was relieved, in the past, he was only envious of the resources that other families could get, but now they are also living this kind of life one step ahead of others.
Not long after speaking, Zhen Ruyi and Qi Changming came together, Sister Yuan turned 20 years old in July, Qi Changming finally gave a name, Qi Shiyu, remembering the smoke and rain in the south, not asking her to be full of economy but at least be able to read and write.
As soon as Qi Changming came, Zhen Mingjie took him and Qi Rong to the study in the front yard, Zhen Wanyi teased Xiao Shiyu, Shiyu can now speak word by word, her immature voice is soft and glutinous, "Aunt" and "Aunt", so that Zhen Wanyi sat on the low couch with the villain in her arms and was unwilling to let go.
Zhen Ruyi quipped on the side: "The ninth sister likes it so much, so hurry up and give birth to one as soon as possible." ”
Zhen Wanyi helped Xiao Shiyu to stand on the low couch, turned around and smiled: "This birth is not that you can give birth if you want to, you can't look at fate, the sixth sister-in-law has no news so far, I'm not in a hurry." ”
Zhen Ruyi's eyes turned to the fourth wife, "Mother, doesn't there be any news from the sixth sister-in-law?"
The fourth lady smiled with a smile in her eyebrows, and said in a low voice: "This month's monthly letter has not come after ten days, but I can't be sure yet, and I plan to wait for the festival to invite a doctor to come over to check the pulse." ”
Zhen Ruyi said happily: "Nine times out of ten, there is." ”
Zhen Wanyi sighed, "Really, that's really good, so that my mother doesn't have to go back to Qinghe City." ”
When I was in the teens of July, I received a letter from Qinghe City, urging the fourth master and the fourth wife to go back quickly, the fourth wife naturally didn't want to go back, the children were here, what did she do when she went back, and the right to fight with the big house for the right to steward? So let the fourth master reply a letter, saying that Qi Shiyu is about to turn one year old, and he will leave after the Zhou ceremony, and then the old lady came, so that the fourth room can stay at ease and wait until after Zhen Mingjie will take the exam, and now that Yu Jinzhen is pregnant, the fourth wife has a reason to stay, what is a more sufficient reason than taking care of a pregnant woman? So Zhen Wanyi was even more happy to hear the news.
The fourth lady is naturally very happy, she didn't plan to return to Qinghe City so soon, it is estimated that the old lady is the only one who urges her to go back, the eldest lady is eager for her to never go back, the old lady misses Zhen Mingjie, and naturally hopes that the fourth wife and the fourth master can help in Beijing. "Well, you can't go back in a short time, at least you have to wait until Zhenniang gives birth to this child. ”
"After giving birth, there are three days, 100 days and one year old, don't you have to worry about your mother. Zhen Ruyi was also happy on the side, although the fourth wife was not her biological mother, but she grew up beside the fourth wife since she was a child, and the relationship between mother and daughter was harmonious, especially after getting married, she knew the importance of her mother's family. The fourth wife didn't come to Beijing before, and she didn't come to this house much, and she couldn't say anything to the sixth sister-in-law. And there are no acquaintances in the capital, and there are even fewer people who can move around, which is like now that everyone can come to her mother's house for a trip during the New Year's holidays, even the uncle's family values her because the fourth wife values her, and also values her a few points, like this Yuniang's first birthday ceremony, the three rooms of Yufu have come to give gifts, and the mother-in-law has more smiles when she looks at their mother and daughter, so Zhen Ruyi is really happy that the fourth wife comes to Beijing.
The mother and daughter were talking, Zhen Wenyi and his wife arrived again, and the fourth wife received the gift of the two husbands and wives, "You guys came just in time, Brother Ming, the prince and the seventh aunt are all in the study in the front yard, the eighth aunt go and talk to them, and your daughter-in-law will stay with us." ”
Jia Zhen was a little more mature than when she was in Qinghe City, and when she heard this, she arched her hand and said: "Then the nephew will listen to the aunt's instructions, let Wen Niang accompany the aunt to talk, as long as the aunt doesn't think she is making trouble." ”
The fourth lady said with a smile: "Eighth aunt, this is afraid that we will bully Wen Niang, you can rest assured, the three of their sisters have all grown up under my watch, I don't know what kind of temperament." ”
"Then the nephew went to find the sixth brother, and they did. After Jia Zhen finished speaking, she withdrew.
Looking at the thin back, Zhen Wanyi bumped Zhen Wenyi with her elbow, "This eighth brother-in-law looks like a big change, or the eighth sister-in-law has a way." ”
Zhen Wenyi glanced at it, "These two people get along, strong people must have something to rely on, in the past, Zhen and Jia were strong, but now, the old man is not in Beijing, and my father-in-law was promoted because of you, so that their family will be weaker in front of me, if our family is still the same as before, do you think I am not like a maid by Jia Zhen's side?"
The fourth wife glared at Zhen Wenyi on the side when she heard this, "Don't say Wen Niang's words in the future, you can cross the same boat for a hundred years, and sleep together for a thousand years, you and the eighth aunt are your respective fate, and you have to cherish the fate to last for a long time." Isn't it that you let me take a step and I let you go step by step, step by step? If you have to fight for strength, then how can you call it husband and wife, how can you call it a family?"
