Xi Fuwei, who was carried on a sedan chair by the son of the Song family, listened to her nephew's cry, but remembered her father and brother, if Xi Zongwang and Xi Fuxuan were still there, and saw him out of the cabinet, I was afraid that I couldn't help myself, right?

However, listening to the noisy gongs and drums outside, he quickly suppressed the sadness that had not yet had time to rise.

The scene of her coming out of the cabinet was very grand, firstly, Shen Steallan's status in the Shen family was not low, and the Shen family would not be harsh on the wedding for the sake of their son's face; The second is that the Shen and Song families intend to repair the rift in Song Jianiang's matter, and a luxurious etiquette is enough to show that the Shen family attaches great importance to the Song family, and eliminate the resentment that the Shen family took the initiative to dissolve the marriage contract before.

Therefore, the phoenix crown and xia veils are all delicate and heavy. After a toss of entering the door and worshipping the church, Rao is Xi Fuwei has always been in good health, and she is tired and dying.

At this time, someone from outside came over, and asked Shen Weilan to toast at the banquet, only the aunt and sister-in-law were left to accompany Xi Fuwei, and there was a moment of cold in the new room.

Xi Fuwei thanked her shyly and timidly, and when Lin asked someone to go to the kitchen to get pastries, he also brought some to the other people in the room.

However, their sister-in-law, Miss Shen San, refused, saying that there were too many banquets in the past few months, and the people who ate it had gained a lot of weight: "The skirt I made before has been pressed to the bottom of the box, and it took out to wear it in the past two days. ”

"Sister, what you said, look at your light appearance, and if you are fat for two laps, it has nothing to do with the ball." Lin persuaded her, "I don't believe you ask your second sister-in-law, is your figure good or bad?" ”

Xi Fuwei looked at this sister-in-law, the Shen family is ranked separately for men and women, and Miss Shen San is the daughter of the Zhang family, who is nearly ten years younger than Shen Zhaolan, and she is only fifteen at this time, which is the most good-looking age to start discussing marriage.

Her eyebrows and eyes are very similar to Shen Weilan, but the outline is much softer, of course her appearance is not bad, the fine skin and tender meat that can only be had in the brocade clothes and jade food carefree, saying that she is fat, in fact, as Lin said, the overall is still thin, but because the face is not fully opened, the cheeks are with some baby fat, and she looks very cute and cute.

"I think my sister is too much to increase and too little to subtract." Xi Fuwei smiled, "Where is the fat?" ”

In fact, at this time, the countryside said that relatives prefer white and chubby girls, because it means that the family is good, and it means that they are healthy and strong, which is not only active but also beneficial to birth and raising.

However, a high-ranking family like the Shen family does not need to worry about firewood, rice, oil and salt at all, and the aesthetics are naturally different.

There is the Tang Dynasty's fat as beauty, the pursuit of glamorous and rich, in the Song Dynasty has turned into thin and timid light and elegant.

The dynasty was set for less than a hundred years, and the major events that were enough to shake the society occurred frequently, and so far it has not yet formed the fashion of this dynasty, and it is probably still influenced by the previous dynasty.

Therefore, at this time, the upper class pays attention to the degree of fiber fit for beautiful women, and does not like the fat and white type.

If you can't do it exactly, you will always be a little thinner and more respected, wearing a short skirt and a long skirt, standing there, as soon as the wind blows, the sleeves are flying, and people seem to be going away with the wind, which is the most pitiful.

So Miss Shen San hopes that she will lose more weight, and the two sisters-in-law can understand, and she will not force a few words of persuasion, anyway, this sister-in-law just doesn't eat snacks, and the main meal is not banned, it is still within the measure.

Taking the opportunity of talking about the sister-in-law, the two of them naturally talked.

This is the first time they have met, and they can't help but be a little cautious when they speak, lest they offend each other. It's just that the two of them are not difficult to get along with, and they get acquainted after a conversation.

The Lin family began to introduce the people in the new house to Xi Fuwei, because Shen Steallan ranked second in the Shen family, and the younger brothers under him had not yet married a wife, except for Lin's sister-in-law, it was the unmarried young ladies and stewards and subordinates.

In front of the Lin family, the daughter-in-law in charge, the cadres were also polite to Xi Fuwei.

All in all, the time from Shen Weilan's toasting to being sent back was in the atmosphere of Mrs. Ping Ping and you and me.

"Did my sister-in-law get you food?" Late at night, the guests dispersed, Shen Weilan finally came back, sent away a group of people in the teasing and joking of Lin and others, and covered the door with his backhand, only the newlyweds in the huge room, and in addition to the pulse, there was also some indescribable nervousness.

After a moment, he took the initiative to break the silence, "Are you tired today?" ”

"My sister-in-law has already brought me pastries." Xi Fuwei nodded, "I'm okay, I've been sitting here for a long time, you have been perfunctory at the table for a long time, do you want to drink some tea?" ”

With that, I went to pour him tea.

However, her hand touched the teapot on the table, which had been held down by Shen Weilan, she looked up puzzled, and saw this person looking over with a smile, the usual sharpness and sharpness between her eyebrows were all constricted, and the place was full of warmth, and she said: "Marrying you is for the sake of mutual love, how can I be willing to ask you to pour tea and water?" ”

The wife under the lamplight looked like snow, her eyebrows and eyes were like paintings, Shen Qilan had actually drunk hangover soup before she came, and she was really thirsty at this time, but she didn't want to drink water, so she made a slight effort along the wrist under her hand and brought the person into her arms...... Between the tulle silk, a lantern suddenly burst out of the quietly burning red candle.

The Shen family was busy all day, and in the middle of the night, they couldn't help but discuss a few words about the new young lady.

Lin has a similar view to Shizi: "So far, it looks like it's still done, and let's see how we get along in the future." As long as you are not the kind of person who stirs up trouble, for the sake of the second brother, you don't have to worry about the slightest disagreement. ”

Anyway, although there is no separation now, the doors in the huge mansion are also separated.

If Xi Fuwei is too much and affects other rooms, the in-laws above are not decorations.

Shen Zhang's was worried about his son's heirs: "His sweetheart has been married, and he is still thinking about it after three or two years, which shows that Lan'er is really affectionate." In this way, if the Xi family adds Ding in the coming year, it will be fine, otherwise, looking at her successful appearance, I am afraid that she may not be willing to let Lan'er take a concubine. ”

And Shen Zhang's will never tolerate his daughter-in-law's pampering and spoiling, which affects his son's heirs.

She was afraid that Shen Weilan's heart would still be tied to her daughter-in-law at that time, and she would ignore her kindness.

And even in turn blame yourself for being troublesome.

But her husband thought about it and persuaded her: "They only get married, and the young couple is still young!" It's not in a hurry to talk about concubines in three or five years, if you don't talk about it at that time, people outside will also talk about it, not to mention that Lan'er is not a person who can't listen to words, how can he not count it in his heart? ”

"That's so, but you see the Xi family, after settling in Dongchang Mansion, it has always been a single line." Shen Zhang frowned, "The Xi clan is only one brother. Although their biological mother left, the in-laws did not remarry, but there was a gap of several years between Xi and her brother. ”

So no matter how you look at it, the Xi family has no genetics of Ding Xingwang.

Raising a child is 100 years old, and he is often worried about 99. Where can Shen Zhang not worry?

However, Shen Zhang's worries did not last long, because in the early spring of the twelfth year of Yongle, Xi Fuwei gave birth to twin baby boys to Shen Zhaolan.

This made the entire Shen family ecstatic.

Even Shen Zhang's family was extremely enthusiastic when he saw the daughter of the Song family, and said that this family affair was paired.

It's Shen Steallan and his wife, who can't cope with the newborn.

In the past two years, Shen Steallan has been promoted several times because of his meritorious service, but the scope of the errand is still on the side of the Huitong River, mainly in the entire canal dredging project, this section is the top priority, and Song Li has been personally in charge.

Considering his relationship with Shen Steallan's son-in-law and consistent cooperation, the imperial court let them remain partners for the sake of efficiency.

When Xi Fuwei kept filial piety before marriage, she took her nephew to Song Li when she left Daxiang, and after getting married, of course, it was Shen Thief who got this benefit.

From pregnancy and childbirth to confinement before and after the year, Xi Fuwei is concentrating on fetal safety and recuperation, after the confinement, although there are nursing mothers watching, twins also make novice parents busy.

Not only did Xi Fuwei no longer be able to help her husband as a virtuous helper, but Shen Weilan felt exhausted.

In the end, Song Li couldn't see it, and Xiushu mentioned it to the Shen family, and Shen Zhang's family mentioned to them the matter of sending their grandson back to Tianfu to raise.

Anyway, the Shen Mansion is now the head of the Lin family, and the Shen Zhang family is not usually busy.

Before, she also helped to bring the children of the Lin family for a few days, because the prince was a few years older than Shen Thief, and Shen Thief Lan got married very late, and now the children of the son of the world are all older, and the children of the concubines below, Shen Zhang's family is impatient to lift.

This will bring a child to the second son, and the prince and his wife have nothing to talk about.

She was worried that Xi Fuwei would be reluctant to let go of the children.

However, after hearing the news, Xi Fuwei was very grateful and packed her son and handed it over to someone to take back to her mother-in-law to raise.

Reluctant to something, non-existent.

After all, the only relative of her mother's family, nephew Xi Jiao, is still in the Song family at this time.

Without the drag of the children, the couple regained their strength, restored the old combination of swords and swords, and kept their errands in order.

The spring breeze that has passed for so many years is proud.

It's just that the Shen Zhang clan was expecting them to add another ding, but there has been no movement.

Of course, it is a bit regrettable for the elders, but it is right in the middle for their young couple...... After all, as a second room, there was not much pressure to inherit the lineage, and after having a pair of sons, it was even less urgent.

What the two of them are most concerned about at this time is how to live their lives comfortably, and it can be said that they are happy without a third child to disturb them.

When Xi Fuwei was in her parents' house in the past, she didn't have much time to read because she had to take care of the family business.

And at that time, I didn't think that learning these was of any use except to please the Wen family, so I had a casual attitude.

But thinking back to the collapse of the Xi family, if it weren't for her outstanding talent, she would not have been favored by Shen Thief, let alone get the opportunity to enter the Zou Mansion, and then Shen Thief Lan and Song Li's other eyes on her were all related to talent.

The experience of giving these two hands also made Xi Fuwei have a strong interest in reading.

She has read more books, and her knowledge has become more and more extensive, and the more weight and insight she has when she speaks in front of Shen Thief.

So much so that Shen Steallan would simply take it back to the back hall to discuss it with her when she encountered something later, and sometimes Shen Steallan went out on business, and when the people below encountered something that needed to be decided urgently, it was also for Xi Fuwei to make up her mind.

After he was promoted, because he was young and promising, and people knew that his wife's background was not very good, some people who wanted to take shortcuts couldn't help but move the idea of stuffing people into the backyard.

However, when I actually did it, I realized that it was a joke at all.

Xi Fuwei is in front of Shen Weilan, and she doesn't need to rely on the power of her mother's family at all.

In front of her husband, she handed over the beauties she sent to Yu Kedi and other old subordinates, Shen Thiefan was not angry, but praised her face, saying that she was neat and not entangled in trivial matters.

After this kind of thing happened a few times, it became interesting to go down, and this heart was completely dead.

This made Yu Kedi and others regret for a few days, because for them, it is really good to get a beautiful girl for free.

Although the relationship is deep, the couple sometimes disagree, occasionally quarreling, even to the point where Shen Weilan slammed the door and walked out.

The first time she did this, Xi Fuwei was very angry and disappointed, and was even ready to leave.

Who knew that after an hour, this person came back again, and brought a bag of her favorite pastries, and said casually that she planned to paint, and asked her to go to the study to help study ink.

Xi Fuwei said angrily that she was not a maid, why did she give him ink?

Shen Weilan took the opportunity to say: "Then I want to see you paint, and I will study ink for you." ”

"I won't draw." She still had a straight face, but there was a smile in her eyes, "I don't want to grind the ink, I have to finish this pastry first!" ”

This kind of dull and smooth life with occasional twists and turns passed very quickly, and it was the fifteenth year of Yongle in a blink of an eye.

In May, Emperor Yongle was fortunate to be in Beijing, and was congratulated in the newly completed new hall of the West Palace.

After Chaohe, he summoned some courtiers as usual, and Shen Weilan was among them.

The emperor talked to him a lot, from the eighth year of Yongle to the present, those waves have been forgotten by the world, and even the king of Han was abandoned two years ago because of bad intentions. If it weren't for the prince's efforts to exonerate him, the emperor would have planned to depose him as a concubine.

…… Of course, these are public things, and only the emperor himself knows whether Emperor Yongle is willing to do this or not.

However, the prince's performance was unassailable after all.

Shen Steallan was promoted again after this summons, from Qianhu to Zhenfu Division, and moved to Beijing as an errand boy.

Two months later, Emperor Yongle made Hu the imperial concubine.

Shen Stealing Lan and Xi Fuwei both felt that the emperor was touched by this incident and specially summoned Shen Steallan.

After all, although the imperial grandson was looked at a few years ago, it is only today that there is officially a concubine, and Emperor Yongle, as a grandfather, is pleased that the eldest grandson has grown up, and he will think of other children and grandchildren.

For example, the King of Han, who once made him proud.

However, Shen Steallan is not very optimistic about the future of the Hu family: "When my grandmother met the crown princess before, she once recommended the Sun family to the grandson, saying that she was handsome and rare in the world, and that was a few years ago. Sun and his grandson are childhood sweethearts, and they have a deep relationship, and there were rumors earlier that they would make her the princess. Later, for various reasons, I felt that Sun's background was not high enough, so I established this Hu family...... Of course, His Majesty attaches great importance to Jinyiwei, and specially selects people from Jinyiwei's daughters, but the grandson prefers the Sun family more. In the future, I don't know if there will be any changes in the palace. ”

After all, the Sun family was recommended by his grandmother to thread the needle, and he was naturally close to the Zhang family.

If the Hu clan defeats the Sun clan in the future, I don't know if it will have an impact?

The Shen family has always had a close relationship with the Zhang family.

Xi Fuwei persuaded him not to think about it: "Your Majesty's eyesight, do you still need to say it to the person who picks it?" What's more, since the Sun family is not from a high background and has been in the East Palace for many years, how can he not be a little measured, and he doesn't know how to respect his wife? ”

Even if the Sun family is very loved by Taisun, don't forget that Emperor Yongle is still alive!

Since this master respects Empress Yuan, will he still let his favorite grandson have the reputation of spoiling his concubine and killing his wife by a small grandson?

If she dares to do this, Emperor Yongle can pick the skin of her whole family to fill the grass!

Shen Weilan thought about it, so he didn't mention it anymore.

…… After moving to Beijing, the couple finally reunited with their two sons after a long absence.

This is because the day of moving the capital is already obvious, and the Shen family is afraid that there will be too many people at that time, which will affect the young grandchildren, and they also feel that the young couple has lived a very comfortable life in the past few years, and they don't miss their sons at all, don't be unfamiliar, so they sent them over in advance.

The newly reunited family inevitably has some chickens and dogs, but in the end, it is their own flesh and blood, and they will settle down after a few days of running-in.

It's just that the mansion of the two more boys is particularly lively, and the couple have a headache from the quarrel, and the neighbors have come to complain.

On this day, they made a fuss again, and Xi Fuwei said that she would simply take them to the street.

At this time, although everyone knew that Beijing would become the imperial capital in the future, it had been abandoned for a long time, and it had always been a military center in the early years, and it was not too prosperous.

There were already more people, and Xi Fuwei took her sons in a carriage and went out surrounded by guards and maids. I thought that I could put the children to sleep by taking two laps around the city, but I really underestimated their energy.

Finally, the driver asked if he wanted to go around again.

Xi Fuwei thought about it and said, "Let's go see the river." ”

She asked the coachman to drive the carriage to the banks of the Tonghui River.

Tonghui River is the name given by the king of the foreign race in the previous dynasty, and the national dynasty is generally called Yuhe.

At this time, the entire project of opening the river has been seventy-seven eighty-eight, otherwise it would not be ready to move the capital.

Although the city of Beijing is not as lively as Yingtianfu, the wharf on the riverside has the prosperity that the best place in the world should have. Only in the distance can you see the sparkling waves, and the river is like a jade belt, winding into the distance.

The wind blows from the river, carrying the smell of goods from south to north, as well as the smell of the sweat of the boatmen, the fat powder of the women, and the smell of the scorching sun and the river, which is full of the smell of the world.

Although the two children grew up in the prosperous Yingtian Mansion, they have been locked up in the mansion, and they have never seen such a bustling scene. ”

"This is the Tonghui River in the previous dynasty, and the national dynasty is called the Jade River." Xi Fuwei looked at the scene outside the curtain, recalling the years when she listened to her father encouraging her brother to study well at the age of her sons, and after the title of the gold list, she assisted the king to establish a peaceful and prosperous world, and said slowly, "In a few days, your grandfathers and grandmothers will come from this river." ”

The eldest son leaned on her lap and said, "On the other side of the river, is that my grandfather and grandmother?" ”

"On the other side of the river, there are grandfathers and grandmothers you haven't seen before, and your uncles." Xi Fuwei touched the top of his hair, "Your current grandfather and grandmother, as well as your uncle and aunt, will come from it in the near future." ”

"Isn't it annoying, then?" The youngest son innocently asked, "Daddy has always told us not to make noise, so as not to disturb the neighbors, but so many people, fighting this river all day long, don't you feel troublesome if the river is not angry?" ”

The maids all covered their mouths and smiled, thinking that the childish words were very cute, and the river was not human, how could it be annoying?

Xi Fuwei also smiled, remembering the distraction when she talked with Shen Weilan in the Xi Mansion on a snowy day in the ninth year of Yongle.

She gently pinched the cheeks of her two sons: "If you are always noisy, your mother, your father, and your neighbors will be annoying." But if you read obediently, although the movement is not small, but the sound of the book, for your mother and your father, the neighbors, will only praise you for being diligent and studious! ”

"I know, I know!" The eldest son pulled the hem of her skirt and replied, "Mother means that there are many people coming and going, but if everyone is doing things well, the river will not be annoying; If people do bad things, it will be annoying? ”

Xi Fuwei smiled and nodded, and then heard her youngest son ask, "Mother, what is a good thing and what is a bad thing?" ”

"The river was almost dug up by people." Xi Fuwei's eyes were like flowing water, and some emotions that had been brewing for many years seemed to flow from her gaze into the river not far away, and she said with a smile, "And it was dug up by people from the past and present." Therefore, what the people of the world think is good, it should also feel good; If the world thinks it's bad, of course it won't like it. ”

The two sons asked in unison: "What do people in the world think is good?" ”

Xi Fuwei pursed her lips and stared at the river for a long time, about to solve her doubts, but the young child had already turned her attention and chattered about other things.

She shook her head with a smile, and said in her heart: People in the world think it is good, and this canal that runs through thousands of miles is also happy to see.

In the distance, wisps of cooking smoke drift away with the soft wind, turning the glittering river into a light ink painting.

The same scene, she looks at today, has been watched by countless people, and there will be more people in the future.

Generations have passed, the canal has fallen asleep and risen, heavy and brisk, seen sweat and tears, seen blood and seen knife light, seen parting and reunited, such as the prosperity of this world withered, and reborn after a thousand holes.

Those moaning, those roaring, those silent, those brewing, those grievances, those hatreds, those unwilling regrets, time will wash the unforgettable into indifference, and then write page after page.

After a thousand years of turns, what year is it, the willow branches on both sides of the river struggle to send out new shoots, the peach blossoms stained with dew ignite the spring light, and a pair of hands hold up the collapsed stone monuments from the barrenness, tracing the blue wisps of the past?

At that moment, the clouds are light and the sky is high, it should be like this scene, towering rivers and mountains, listening to the prosperity of the world.
