When Wei Changying and his entourage withdrew to Xiliang with the army, the Huang family left their daughters-in-law in the imperial capital as usual to clean up the mess, and only brought their granddaughter Ni Weiyi with them.

A few years have passed in a blink of an eye, and the little girl has grown up.

The Huang family has been looking for a husband for her since last year, and has almost seen all the men who seem to be good-looking up and down in Ming Peitang, but in the end, it is a commoner introduced by Ji Chunmian - the second son of Ji Yuan's next-door neighbor.

This family was a wealthy merchant in the Central Plains in their early years, and they traveled for several generations and saved a lot of family property.

But because it was a businessman, he also suffered a lot of losses, and later accidentally offended a small scholar clan in his hometown, and in order to prevent his family from being ruined, he gave up most of the assets of his ancestral hometown and avoided to the remote Xilianglai.

After arriving in Xiliang, he made the silver money open the way and gave the whole family the identity of a commoner...... But there is no way to go further. Fortunately, the Shen family encouraged businessmen to come and go because of the barrenness of Xiliang's products, and took more care of the Ban family, who were willing to settle in Xiliang, so the Ban family settled down for several years, relying on the connections they had saved in the Central Plains in the past, and they recovered their vitality after a few trips to business.

It's just that the scholars who forced them to abandon their homes before are in one day, and they don't dare to go back - after suffering like this, the Ban family especially hopes to be able to catch up with the scholars.

With the details of their family, it is impossible to marry directly with the scholars; He was unwilling to be a servant under the scholars. Therefore, only by starting with the people around the Shi clan, although the Ban family has a slight family background, it is not considered rich, and the Shu clan who can be a staff member or retainer for the Shi clan does not look down on the origin of their family merchants.

Therefore, after judging the situation, the Ban family set their sights on the servants of the Shi clan.

However, this is also very difficult, because the sons of large families are usually married to each other in order to consolidate their position among the servants of the world.

What's more, they are slaves, because the master's family has a high status, and they are more majestic than the Shu clan and even many small scholars. I don't look down on freedom without shelter.

Of course, there are also some servants who are tempted by the Ban family's industry and are willing to marry them.

The problem is that this kind of subordinate servants often have no status in front of the master's family, and they don't even have the dignity to ask for a free body after leaving the cabinet - the Ban family is unwilling again. They want to cling to the Shi clan, but they don't want to have a house where their grandchildren will be slaves in the future, so it is more reliable to send a child directly to the Shi clan.

According to Ni Weiyi's identity, her grandmother Huang is not only the wife of the current lord of the Shen family, but also the most trusted aunt in the backyard of Ming Peitang. Even nobles like the fifth and sixth ladies of the Shen family are very polite to the Huang family. The young lord Shen Shuguang saw that the Huang family still had to salute and call for grandma......

has such a face-saving grandmother, let's talk about the Ban family, if it weren't for the Huang family's rumors that her granddaughter is only a main house and not a concubine, many children of the Shen family want to ask their elders to try Wei Changying's style.

This time, the Huang family is willing to give Ni Weiyi to the second son of the Ban family, naturally it is not all about Ji Chunmian's face, but the second son of the Ban family, Ban Zheng, is what she personally sees.

The Huang family's city is deep and her eyes are vicious, and the person she likes is of course outstanding-in fact, when I heard that the Huang family picked and chose to leave a capable servant, but picked a common man Ban Zheng, Wei Changying was very curious, and deliberately found an excuse to take a look at it by herself - he is really a talented and beautiful character.

Both Wei Changying and Huang are used to seeing beautiful men, and this Ban Zheng is also good among all the beautiful men they have seen, and for this alone, the two of them have a good impression of him. And he is also very studious, Huang personally went into battle, and took the examination of his classics and history, not only answered fluently, but also had quite insights.

Later, Wei Changying was curious, and called Xi Xi, who gave a lecture to Shen Shuguang-this is the person Shen Zangfeng personally found to teach his eldest son with high hopes, so it is needless to say that he learned it—and went to see Ban Zheng once, and Xixi came back and praised Ban Zheng, and even said that it was rare for such a person of insight among the common people.

In this way, this family business is decided.

This Ban Zheng is eighteen years old this year, because the family hopes to let the second son have a relationship with the scholars, so they have not arranged a room for him.

It was Wei Changying who checked with the Huang family, and the more he checked, the more satisfied he became-as for saying that the Ban family deliberately wanted to catch up with the Shi clan, this is also the way of the world, and there is nothing to worry about. Because of this, they will not treat Ni Weiyi badly more and more.

Therefore, this family affair was set quickly, and according to the previously agreed day, Ni Weiyi would be out of the cabinet in a month.

The Ban family is rich, and unexpectedly hired the younger generation of the real power in Mingpeitang as a daughter-in-law, so they have put a lot of effort into these six ceremonies. Especially the welcome section is to spread the money widely, and it must be done with flowers.

In this regard, Wei Changying and the Huang family were naturally happy to let Ni Weiyi come out of the cabinet with dignity.

Therefore, both the Ban family and the Huang family are prosperous in these days.

But now the Wei family is connected with two bad news, the valve owner's maternal uncle and the valve owner's wife's maternal grandfather have both passed away, although it is said that the subordinates do not have to wear linen and filial piety for these two, but it is impossible to make a big deal about this eye joint.

If it was the marriage of other subordinates, Wei Changying didn't bother to pay attention to it at the moment.

But the Huang family and Wei Changying have different feelings, and they have been servants and teachers over the years. When the imperial capital fell, if it weren't for the Huang family's efforts, even if Wei Changying could hide in the secret room and survive, the second son would definitely not have time to save it, which Wei Changying couldn't accept.

She knew that although the Huang family now had several grandchildren, she was the most fond of Ni Weiyi, the eldest granddaughter, otherwise she would not have left the other juniors in the imperial capital back then, and only brought this granddaughter with her.

Now that Ni Weiyi's major events in her life are going to be affected, it is reasonable for Wei Changying to comfort the Huang family.

Huang didn't care, and said with a smile: "These are actually all false, as long as the Ban family treats Xiao Weiwei well in the future, why not have a shabby wedding?" Just like that, can you still hold on to the pomp and circumstance of this wedding when you look back? ”

Wei Changying sighed: "Auntie, you are considerate of me. He said, "But I can't treat Xiao Weiwei badly, when she goes out of the pavilion, I put the pair of mutton fat jade mandarin ducks in for her." ”

Huang said: "Is it the pair of jade mandarin ducks given by the second master of the family back then?" "When Wei Changying married from Fengzhou to the imperial capital, on the eve of entering the Shen family, he met with his second uncle Wei Shengyi, and Wei Shengyi took a pair of mutton fat jade mandarin ducks to add makeup to her in addition to the congratulatory gift - that jade was a piece of good mutton fat jade that Wei Shengyi got in his early years, and in order to get his niece out of the cabinet, he specially asked the Ye family to carve a beautiful mandarin duck, and at that time it was also equipped with eight palace silks.

Before the fall of the imperial capital, this pair of mandarin ducks was not a top-notch good thing in the hands of Wei Changying. So the Huang family didn't bring it with them when they packed the luggage for Wei Changying to break through, and then they were naturally taken away by the Rong people - after the imperial capital and Yanzhou were recovered, a batch of prey was recovered from the captured Rong people, and the pair of jade pendants were also among them, and they actually fell back into the hands of Shen Zangfeng.

Shen Zangfeng naturally returned it to his wife.

With Ni Weiyi's background, something like the level of Yiqi Lianli Zhixue Jade to the hairpin, firstly, she is really not qualified to use it, and secondly, giving it to her hurts her. This pair of jade mandarin ducks happened to be the highest-level good things she could get.

"That's it." Wei Changying nodded, "Although that jade is not rare, it is also good. The carver belongs to the Ye family, so let's make something at the bottom of the box for Xiao Weiwei. ”

Huang immediately excused himself: "That's the second master of the family who added makeup to you, how can you give it out?" Besides, you don't know Xiao Weiwei's husband's family, he was just a businessman in the past, but now that he has changed his nationality, he is not a big family in the end. You can't afford to give her this! ”

"What's not to receive?" Wei Changying shook his head and said, "It's nothing more than a pair of jade mandarin ducks, and it was also an accident in the imperial capital in the early years, and too many good things were lost." Otherwise, I can put a few more pieces on the bottom of the box for her......"

"This thing has to press the bottom of the box for Xiao Weiwei, and even the box is going to break." Huang said, "Just give some casually - you just send something casually, and Xiao Weiwei will have dignity in front of the Ban family." You gave it too well, but I'm afraid that the heart of the class family will also be big, and it will not be beautiful at that time. ”

Wei Changying said: "Auntie, this is just a prevarication, I can't be fooled by you." Besides, I'm for Xiao Weiwei, not for your aunt, what are you pushing, auntie? So he called Lian Ju and asked her to fetch the jade mandarin duck and send it to Ni Weiyi.

After this incident was resolved, Wei Changying called his eldest son: "Your great-grandfather and uncle are gone, these two news will definitely be reported to your father and them, but we can't help but express it." ”

Shen Shuguang had never seen Song Xinping, and although he had an impression of Su Xiuming, he had vague memories of a very young child, so he was not very sad now, and after thinking about it for a while, he asked, "Do you want the child to go to Jiangnan or Qingzhou to mourn?" ”

"How is that possible?" Wei Changying nodded his forehead and said angrily, "So far, now our family's army is busy, can my mother rest assured that you are traveling far away?" He told him, "You must write a eulogy in your name and explain why you can't go there in person...... Let the next person run for a trip. ”

"The child is still young, and the uncle's side is also okay, and the great-grandfather's house, it is said that the same as the grandfather's house, is extremely literate, and I am afraid that it is a little beyond my strength." Shen Shuguang heard this, but did not immediately agree, but groaned.

"You write it first, go back and ask your master to polish it for you, can't you copy it again?" Wei Changying poked him in the forehead again angrily and funny, "Why did you become stupid at this time?" ”

Shen Shuguang said embarrassedly: "Doesn't the child have something to say to his mother?" ”

The mother and son said something more, and someone came in to tell them, saying that they heard Yulan asking to see them.

"Mother, the child will leave first?" Shen Shuguang was about to go back to his room to Wen Shu, but he took advantage of the situation.

Wei Changying touched his head, told him a few words, and then let him go down, and ordered: "Miss Wen, please." ”
