Chapter 315: Do you remember Shen Yue'e in Ziyang City?
On the fifteenth day of the tenth month of the lunar calendar, the Taoist temple is a dojo, and the folk sacrifice to the dead.
Naturally, there are also activities in the official family, such as the dojo of the Dabei Temple, the largest temple in the royal family. People with status and status will participate, but others can't go if they want to.
The Xue family inquired about the process a few days earlier, and ordered someone to prepare things for the temple two days in advance. It was the first time for her to participate in such an official large-scale event, and she was looking forward to it and nervous.
Sanniang is also happy for the Xue family, this incident shows that the Xue family has officially entered the circle of famous ladies in the capital, and is no longer a marginal person to be ignored.
"Although there are restrictions on the number of people you can go, there are not a few people in Beijing who have a big face, and there must have been a lot of people that day. I've got to tell me to go on and there's no going wrong that day. Xue frowned.
Sanniang nodded and smiled: "Then mother, think about it and see if there is anything to pay attention to, I'll go back first." Sanniang got up and said.
Xue Shi hurriedly said: "Eh, you stay and help me see if there are any shortcomings." ”
Sanniang was helpless: "I have just heard it, mother, you have prepared very carefully, if it were me, I wouldn't be able to think of anything." Saying that, Sanniang changed her pitiful appearance: "I actually suddenly remembered, Mama Zhao said that she would come over to check my embroidery at night." Why don't you help me tell Mama Zhao and ask her not to come today? ”
Hearing this, Xue glared at Sanniang and said with a smile: "Hurry up and go, don't send it." ”
Sanniang shook her head and sighed, glanced at Xue Shi sadly, and then left, causing several little girls in the room to laugh non-stop.
After leaving the main room, Sanniang returned to her house not long after. Someone outside reported that the fifth young master had come to the backyard, so he went to the main room to ask for peace for the Xue family first.
Sure enough, not long after, Wang Jing's serious voice sounded outside: "Young Master Ben is on the order of his wife to take a look at the third sister." The third sister is now convenient? ”
Sanniang was stunned. Then he laughed out loud, and hurriedly asked the maids to bring Wang Jing in, so that he would not be alone outside.
At this time, it was already winter. The weather was cold in an instant, and some people who were afraid of the cold had already begun to use the hand stove. Wang Jing is still dressed in single clothes, and he is not afraid of the cold at all.
"Why is my brother dressed so little?" Sanniang frowned.
Wang Jing touched his head: "It's too bloated and inconvenient to wear too much." I don't feel cold. ”
Sanniang glared at Wang Jing: "If it's bloated, I'll approve a cloak." Wouldn't it be okay to take off your cloak when you want to move? It's winter, you're still in the summer, I don't know, I think our family is so poor that even the young master is mean. ”
Wang Jing has always had no way to take his sister-in-law, so he couldn't help nodding when he heard this: "What my sister said is, why didn't I think of it so stupid in the morning?" When I go back, I'll ask Cinnabar to prepare a cloak for me. ”
Sanniang couldn't help but smile and glared at Wang Jing again.
The maids left only a few trustworthy ones, and the rest went out.
"Has the woman taken care of it?" Sanniang raised her eyebrows and said.
After Sun left, Wang Jing planned to dispose of the one who made him a room, but Sanniang asked him to wait a little longer. only took care of the woman first and did not let him move freely, anyway, the Wang family did not lack a bite of food for her. lest people say that Wang Jing disrespects his elders.
Now the Sun family has been gone for some days, according to Wang Jing's temperament. It should have been exhausted.
Sure enough, Wang Jing nodded: "Tell the outside world that my grandmother can't leave her, and she wants to recruit her back to serve." I handed her over to Xuan Shao behind my back, and first tortured her to see if it was someone from southern Xinjiang before dealing with it. ”
Wang Jing now has a charter for doing things, and Sanniang is satisfied and doesn't ask more.
"By the way, I came to you today because of a letter from my grandmother." Wang Jing said with a smile.
Sanniang was overjoyed: "Grandmother's letter? "Although Liu's median disease has improved a lot, after all, he is old and his energy is not as good as before. Last year, I finally listened to Sanniang's suggestion and went to Zhuangzi to recuperate, and my health was much better.
It's just that there has been no letter for a long time, and Wei Yunying's side has not written from her side these days, so that Sanniang has been worried about the situation in Yanzhou for a while.
I didn't have much contact with Liu, but the old man really loved her, and he was a little eccentric.
"I haven't seen it yet, but I know that you remember it, so I'll take it and see it with you." Wang Jing found a chair close to Sanniang to sit on, took out a letter from the placket of his clothes, and handed it to Sanniang: "Take a look." ”
Sanniang smiled: "I remember, don't you remember?" Next time a letter comes from Yanzhou, you can open it and read it first. You can tell me about it when you come. ”
Wang Jing thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's what you said, I'll read it first in the future, and it's the same for you." ”
Sanniang asked Bai Ying to open the envelope and take out the letter paper to unfold it. The handwriting on the top is very beautiful, Liu's hands are still a little shaky in recent years, and naturally there is no way to write a letter by herself, because it should be Zeng Momo or someone's ghostwriter next to her.
Sanniang read a general copy of the letter, but she didn't speak. Then I picked it up again and looked at it carefully from beginning to end.
Wang Jing was stunned for a moment, and said carefully: "Sister, is there any bad news?" ”
Sanniang finished reading the letter and exhaled softly: "It should be ...... It's not bad news. ”
"That's the good news? Let's hear about it. Wang Jing said happily.
Sanniang handed the letter in her hand to Wang Jing, and said thoughtfully: "My cousin's marriage is scheduled for next month. ”
She knew about Zhao Fan's marriage early in the morning from Liu's letter, the girl's family is also a businessman, and I heard that she is a capable girl. The Zhao family has only one male in this generation, Zhao Fan, and there is no brother to help him, so the Liu family found him such a man with some ability, so that the husband and wife can discuss in the future.
As for Liu's plan to let Shen Yue'e marry the Zhao family at the beginning, I don't know how Shen Yue'e told Liu, anyway, Liu hasn't mentioned it for a long time.
"And one more thing...... Cousin, she has been elected to the palace as the adopted daughter of Lord Wei. Sanniang said lightly.
"Huh? Cousin? Which cousin? What adopted daughter? Wang Jing looked up in a daze, and simply didn't read the letter.
Sanniang narrowed her eyes slightly: "Cousin Shen Yue, the Wei family has officially adopted her as an adopted daughter, and now she lives in the Wei Mansion." "Governor Wei is still in Yanzhou because of his re-election.
Sanniang thought of Shen Yue, the cousin she thought would never be seen again.
Presumably she has put a lot of thought into Wei Yunying and Mrs. Wei over the years, right? She's really smart.
The selection of women in the palace is full of harems, and the people who come will die from good families, Shen Yue'e was born in a merchant and is not counted in the category of good families. Nowadays, although it is not as strict as the etiquette regulations in the early days of the founding of the country, it is still difficult for a merchant woman to enter the palace. Shen Yue'e did it.
Sanniang carefully analyzed Shen Yue'e at the beginning, and she should have been a hearty and kind person before she encountered an accident at home. But the warmth and warmth of the Shen family turned her into a sharp and sensitive girl, and she was still scheming.
Heartiness has become a protective color for her.
Sanniang didn't know that it would be a blessing or a curse for such a woman to enter the palace.
Wang Jing was stunned for a long time: "Yue'e? You mean Cousin Yue? She wants to enter the palace? ”
Sanniang nodded: "I will enter Beijing in the spring next year." ”
Shen Yue'e is imperative this time. She succeeded in convincing the Liu family, convincing the Wei prefect and Mrs. Wei.
I haven't seen her for a few years, and Shen Yue'e seems to have grown a lot. Otherwise, there would be no way to do it with the way she was back then. It is said that suffering forces people to grow, but in fact, desire and hope are the same.
Sanniang saw that Wang Jing also frowned, and smiled at him: "What is my brother worried about?" It's just that she chose her own path, and we have nothing to worry about her. After all, in the future, her surname is Wei, and our surname is Wang, so it doesn't have much to do with it. "Even the Zhao family has nothing to do with it.
Although this is cold, it is also true. They hadn't ever thought of touching Shen Yue'e's light, so even if there was anything, it wouldn't be on their heads. And since the Wei family has made this decision, the risk should naturally be borne as well.
Wang Jing nodded, lowered his head and read the letter again, as if to ease the atmosphere and said, "Huh? Hui'er's cousin is also married? ”
Sanniang smiled: "Yes, it's a good family, and grandmother still thinks about her." "The second son of a wealthy family, his family background is not as good as the Zhao family, such a family, such an identity, as long as the Zhao family is there, Zhao Huier can have a worry-free life, safe and smooth.
Liu really thinks about Zhao Hui'er, but some people don't think so. They don't have the experience of Liu to see as far.
For example, Li and the party Zhao Huier felt that this family business was wronged, but although Liu was old, her iron-fisted methods when she was young have not changed. No matter how dissatisfied Li and Zhao Hui'er were, Liu still made this matter a foregone conclusion, and no one could say anything.
It's just that when the Wei Governor's Mansion accepted Shen Yue'e as her adopted daughter, and Shen Yue'e spread the news of entering the palace to the Zhao Mansion, the Li family and Zhao Hui'er naturally cried again. still blames Liu's partiality, only detains Zhao Hui'er, but asks Shen Yue'e to befriend the official's wife.
Liu let them make a fuss, turned a deaf ear, and was so tough that he didn't even give an explanation.
Sanniang looked at the letter and knew what kind of chickens and dogs Zhao Fuzhong had experienced at that time, and then gradually calmed down.
Strangely, there are some things in the letter that don't look like Liu would say to her, but the person who wrote the letter will give some additional notes. This made Sanniang a little curious about the identity of the person who wrote the letter.
"Okay, you still have the letter, I'll go back to the outer courtyard first." Wang Jing saw that it was not too early, so he got up and said.
Sanniang got up and sent it off: "My cousin is married, I will ask my mother to help us prepare some congratulatory gifts, and you will find someone to send them over when the time comes." Although we can't come, the number of rites will come. ”
"This gift-giving will bother you and your mother." Wang Jing scratched his head, and the man had no concept when he talked about this.
Sanniang still watched Wang Jing out of the inner courtyard. (To be continued)
