Chapter 10: The Three Baptisms and Improvement
Although Shen Yuxian was not in Jingzhao, Shen Qingde's baptism ceremony was very lively. I didn't invite many others, only invited my own in-laws, but I also gathered together.
Needless to say, Shen Zeyuan's family has been busy for a long time, Shen Zeyuan has put forward a lot of opinions for the baptism, and the required items have been sent to Shen Yu's family one by one in advance. His wife Shen Hu and Shen Yu were also familiar with each other, because they were both from Hangzhou, but Shen Hu's family was in business, long-sleeved and good at dancing, and her personality was also straightforward.
Shen Huashan brothers, except for him, the other two are in Hangzhou. The second brother Shen Kaishan is the assassin of Hangzhou, and the third brother Shen Deshan is in charge of Hangzhou's affairs. Among the children of the family in Jingzhao, only Shen Deshan's second son, Shen Zeru, served as the chief secretary of the country.
On the day of washing, he and his wife Shen Chen also came, and also brought their three sons and one daughter, Shen Yupu, Shen Yubai, Shen Yusong and Shen Mei. Shen Mansion on Jingtai Street, they also come often, Shen Yupu and others are also very familiar with Shen Yuxuan and others, and the cousins have long gathered together to talk about the latest news in Jingzhao. Shen Chen took Shen Mei and came to find Shen Yu and Shen Hu's two concubines to see if there was anyone who needed help, regardless of their feelings.
Liang Wancheng's family also came to participate in the three baptisms of the Shen Mansion, his wife is Shen An's aunt, and Shen An's only relative in Jingzhao, Liang Wancheng and Shen Huashan have a good relationship, this time the whole family came.
There is also the family of Xu Guangyao, the head of the Treasury Department of the Ministry of War, who is the brother of Shen Deshan's son-in-law and the in-law of the Shen family, and his friendship with the Shen family has always been good.
So when the baptism is carried out, when all the people are gathered together, the scene is also quite impressive. There are so many people, this is just a small part of the Shen family, if the people of the Shen family in Wuyue get together, it is estimated that Jingtai Street can be full, Shen Ning thought.
When the midwife took Shen Qingde out, everyone stopped talking, for fear of startling the little master and disturbing the third washing ceremony. In the next bon ceremony, in addition to the auspicious words of congratulations, there was no noise on the side, although it was a little quiet, everyone was quite interested.
Shen Ning's gift to Shen Qingde is a golden baby ornament carefully prepared by her, which embodies her heart for Shen Qingde, and other people also come to add pots one after another, all of which are auspicious things. One of the most interesting is a set of small clothes made by Shen Mi himself, made of good white cotton cloth, only a few nameless grasses are decorated on the cuffs and trousers, it can be seen that he has a full heart, Shen An's also likes it very much, and he also thanked Shen Mi with a smile, and Shen Mi hid behind Aunt Li shyly.
Speaking of heart, I'm not as good as her. Shen Ning thought to himself when he saw this scene.
At the banquet in the afternoon, Shen Ning once again sighed that there were many members of the Shen family. If nothing else, let's just say that there are nearly ten little girls at their table. Shen Yao, Shen Jia, Shen Hui of the second uncle's family, and Shen Mei of the sixth uncle's family, as well as a few little girls from close relatives, big and small, are all pink little girls, getting together, squeaking, and there are many topics, from eating to playing, there seem to be endless words.
Among them, Shen Ning is the eldest, and he is only twelve years old, because he is young, so he gets along very closely, and he is happy for a while.
After the three baptismal ceremonies, the liveliness of the Shen family gradually cooled down, and returned to the calm of the past.
Since the last division of labor in Qingzhuju, the four maids have also made progress in the run-in and exploration, and the affairs of Qingzhuju have become much simpler, and Liu's mother can handle it, so Shen Ning didn't bother much, and only asked Shen Yu's family to invite a few more little maids a few days ago, because Shen An's production, this matter was delayed.
According to Shen Ning's requirements, each of the four maids has a notebook, recording what they are responsible for every day, who is responsible for whom, where they come from and where they are going, everything has a way to go, and there is no prevarication between each other, Shen Ning has a lot of worry recently.
Among them, Qiu Ge's matter is relatively more difficult and more important, because she has to collect the information of all the official eunuchs above Jingzhao Qipin and the powerful girls around her, and sort them into a book according to the official qualifications of her grandfather and father. This is quite a difficult job, and Qiu Ge doesn't dare to hand over this matter to other little maids, there are many people talking, and it is not beneficial to things, so Shen Ning plans to find some smaller maids, so that Qiu Ge can help a lot by his side since he was a child.
This matter will not be achieved overnight, but Shen Ning believes that there will be great benefits in doing so.
What made Shen Ning the most happy and hopeful was that things on Qiuwu's side had also progressed. Previously, Shen Ning hoped that Qiu Wu would find a few trustworthy and solid-mouthed little brothers, she would be useful. Qiu Wu had already done this thing, and according to Shen Ning's instructions, he arranged the mobilization of these little brothers, and put them where they should go.
This is called a drop of water like a sea, which never dries up.
This matter has been planned to be implemented since Shen Ning's rebirth in March, and now it has finally begun the difficult first step. Speaking of which, I learned this matter from Shangguan Changzhi. After Shangguan Changzhi was appointed as the crown prince, in order to prevent the rest of the brothers from contacting and bribing important ministers, and also to know the daily news of the ministers, he specially transferred the officials of the palace gate bureau of the prince Zhan Shifu to form a huge intelligence network with their old in-laws as the network, and scattered the secret guards to each minister's house to listen and collect news. It can be said that because of these people's intelligence, Shangguan Changzhi can be invincible every time.
What Shen Ning wanted to do was to advance this matter a few years in advance. Although she does not have as many manpower as the Palace Gate Bureau, nor does she have as many backing and resources as Zhan Shifu, Shen Ning believes that as long as she perseveres, accumulates little by little, and spreads out little by little, she can also create such an intelligence network, and it is owned by her, shaking the big tree of Shangguan Changzhi, which is Shen Ning's persistence and hardship.
So she named them "Grasshoppers", and it was the Grasshoppers who shook the trees.
Qiu Wu came to report this day, saying that he secretly learned that Jingzhao Yin Luo Shi had placed an outer room for the Lin family, and he had a lot of love for the Lin family. Luo Shijing kept the news very secret, and not many people knew, but coincidentally, the elder brother of the Lin family, and a little brother of Qiu Wu also knew each other.
In fact, Shen Ning asked Qiu Wu to pay attention to Jing Zhaoyin, not because Luo Shijing would endanger the Shen family, but because Jing Zhaoyin's position was too important. Shen Jiajing Zhao, general affairs and business, which aspect is not under the jurisdiction of Jing Zhaoyin? You must rely on Luo Shijing's momentum, and Shen Zeyuan and others are easy to do.
Shen Ning thought about it for a while, wrote down this matter, and asked Qiu Wu to find a way to pass the Lin family and let a small person enter Jingzhao Mansion to do things, and she didn't need to do anything special, just keep to herself and do things first, this was the first thing she wanted the grasshopper to do. She also gave some silver taels to Qiu Ge and asked her to send them to Qiu Wu, she couldn't move an inch without money, she believed that Qiu Wu needed these.
Since Shen Yu's eldest grandson, in addition to the daily housekeeping affairs, most of her thoughts fell on Liuhe Courtyard, and she always had to run a few times a day to rest assured, so she simply exempted Aunt Li and Shen Mi and others from asking for peace, so Shen Ning hadn't seen them for a long time. During this period, Aunt Li came once and brought her sister to bid farewell to Shen Yu.
"They have a small yard near Sanyuanli, although it is small, the layout is good, and they can be regarded as having their own home. Now that Shang'er is also working beside the second uncle, it is still possible to support the two of them. My sister is also planning to move out today, thank you for your wife's care these days, and I have to say goodbye to my wife no matter what......" Aunt Li explained the matter in a few words, and it turned out that she had asked Shen Yu to resign.
Her sister over there also nodded, indicating that way. Shen Yu's family kept it, and asked Yu's mother to bring a letter of silver, which must be accepted by her, saying that this was to congratulate them on their housewarming and new home, just a little heart.
In this way, Yan Shang's family moved out of the Shen family. Shen Yu sent them away, and when he saw Shen Ning beside him thoughtfully, he also remembered something.
"Haven't you seen your cousins lately? Ning'er, I won't talk about anything else, shouldn't your daughter's family have a lot of things to play with? Embroidering, painting, and passing the time without having to gather around me all day. Shen Ning has been coming to Mingxuan more often recently, as if she has no other companion, so she pointed her to find a way to pass the time.
I was afraid that she was too young to understand, so she added: "You are the eldest sister, you still have to take the initiative to find them, you can't write a single word." ”
Don't think that Shen Yu's approach is too pretending, in fact, this is what everyone in the main room should do. Especially with a family background like the Shen family, what the lady of the main room in the backyard of the Shen family has to do is not to compete with the concubine and be jealous, just to compete for her husband's little bit of favor, let alone to fight with the concubine, and stage a plot like treating the concubine harshly and then the concubine resisting, Shen Yu's family has more important things to do. What she has to do is to assist her husband, communicate with the wife of Jingzhao officials, discipline her daughter-in-law, train her son and daughter, and manage the Shen family's backyard clean and refreshing, so that when Shen Zejing is an official in the imperial court, she doesn't have to worry about the grape trellis in the backyard falling down. It is important to know that the backyard is the vestibule, and the husband and wife are each responsible for complementing each other.
The concubine is also sexual, the color does not exist, and love will be attached? After all, it's just a plaything for men to relax and fight with them in their spare time? Why is it necessary? The concubine is also the flesh and blood of her husband, and if she stays for more than ten years at most, she will have to promise someone else's family, and she can neither inherit the family wealth nor take away the family wealth, if she marries well, it is a help, why not be better to them when she is at home? Be kind to them? How much does it cost to consume a cup of tea, a meal, a piece of clothing and an ornament? Only those families with small doors and small households will fight back and forth, and finally lose their homes.
The husband is honorable and the wife is noble, and the wife is virtuous and the husband is less troubled.
This truth, Shen Yu has already understood and thought through before he left the cabinet. Shen Yu's family is from the Xishan Yu family, his father and brother are all famous Confucians, and the way of the Yu family's goddaughter has always been in the backyard and the heart is in the court, so this point of doing is not enough for Shen Yu's to act against his will, but he does it according to his heart.
