Chapter 5: Ruiyu Hall
The Great Wei Zun Shixuan, the humble scholars, the division of the election, must be the pedigree - the Shu people are not naturalized at all, and over time, they are the upper grade no cold 'door', and the lower grade no scholar clan.
And the domestic name 'door' is not the same. According to the example of the previous dynasty of "where there are three princes in the third world, there are orders and servants called Hua Xuan, those who are still in Shangshu, leading and protecting are surnamed A, those who are in Jiuqing Ruofang are surnamed B, those who are scattered and often 'served' and Taizhong doctors are surnamed C, and the official is the official Lang is surnamed Ding Note 1", the level of the 'door' of the world is in order, and the four surnames of Anointing, Huaying, and A, B, and C are in order.
However, in this dynasty, there are six surnames that have been rich and noble since ancient times, and they have great contributions to the Great Wei, far more than the ordinary anointing of the three princes in the third world can be compared-
Take the Fengzhou Wei family, which has a very long history and inheritance like the other five top 'gates' of the Great Wei Dynasty, as an example: the most noble origin of the Wei surname is the Ji surname of the Xuanyuan family, which comes from Uncle Kang, the ninth son of King Wen of Zhou. Uncle Kang was sealed in Weidi, and he was one of the princes during the 'Spring' Autumn and Warring States periods, and his descendants took the country as his clan. After Wei's death, Qin Shi Huang integrated his surname, and the children of the Wei clan and the people in the country took the country as their surname, and the Fengzhou Wei clan was known as the descendant of Kang Shuyan's branch Note 2.
For hundreds of years, the talented people of the Fengzhou Wei family have emerged in endlessly, and there are five of them before and after the former dynasty of Guozuo for more than 100 years, and there are dozens of officials with real power above the third rank, and the number of Beijing officials above the fifth rank is more than 100. In this dynasty, because of the dragon's merits, it is even more brilliant, and there are also two hereditary titles in the clan.
As for the current eunuchs in the government and the opposition, it is even more countless, and it is one of the most prominent 'doors' below the royal family, and the rest can be compared with the Wei family, and naturally they are not far away - therefore, in recognition of these six surnames, only these six families can stand up to read and write merits, highlighting the 'door' court, and arrogance of everyone. The anointing sorghum is the following, collectively referred to as the family, which is one head lower than the six surnames.
The hall number Note 3 of the Wei family is transformed from the ancestral home of Fengzhou, which is the Ruiyu Hall, and now it is Wei Changying's grandfather Wei Huan who is in charge of the Rui Yu Hall and the position of the Wei Lord's Lord Note 4.
Wei Huan was once an official to Situ, and he also served as the crown prince and prince, and the governor of the capital, and was one of the six Shangzhu states of the Great Wei Dynasty, and was a pivotal minister in this dynasty. However, many years ago, a serious illness almost lost his life. At that time, some diviners said that it was not suitable to leave their homeland, with the mood of trying it out, Wei Huan ordered people to send him back to Fengzhou, and then he was cured, and after healing, he ordered to be recruited, who knew that he was out of Fengzhou and the old disease recurred, so he had to tell the old man in advance, and return to his hometown.
Because Wei Huan won the emperor's heart when he was in office, knowing that he could not continue to be a leader, he was very disappointed today, and specially added the title of Changshan Gong to show his favor, considering that Fengzhou is Wei Huan's hometown, and let Wei Huan's third son, Wei Shengnian, serve as the assassin of Fengzhou and raise Wei Huan - in fact, before Fengzhou was established from the Great Wei, it was actually under the control of the Wei family.
Within the influence of Fengzhou and the Zuo Weijia family, from the gentry to the lowly family, they can not take the imperial court's holy decree Ganlin seriously, but they are like royalty to the Wei family.
The clan is higher than the imperial court, this situation is not only in Fengzhou, the six valves of the Great Wei Dynasty now have all kinds of privileges in Sangzidi, such as Fengzhou for the Wei family, Qingzhou for the Su family, Jinxiu County for the Duanmu family, Jiangnan for the Song family, Donghu for the Liu family, Xiliang for the Shen family - the power of the six valves in these six places is actually acquiesced by the imperial court, which is also one of the returns of Wei Gaozu for the support of the lords when the country was founded, and it has been followed from generation to generation.
Fengzhou Wei's has two powerful halls now, one is the Ruiyu Hall of the Sect, and the other is the Zhiben Hall, a branch of the branch that was separated a hundred years ago. This is the two titles that correspond to the hereditary replacement of the Wei family in this dynasty, Jingping Gong and Jingcheng Marquis, but this generation of Jingping Gong Wei Huan is inactive, and he likes to sound 'lust' dogs and horses since he was a teenager, and he is willing to talk, but he is disgusted with the case and is unwilling to go out. Although Wei Huan is a concubine, he is 'smart' and capable, and is good at strategy. Therefore, before the death of the older generation of Jing Pinggong, although the title was passed on to the eldest son Wei Huan, Rui Yutang was 'handed over' to the concubine Wei Huan.
As for the Zhiben Hall of the Jingcheng Hou lineage, the ancestral hall is not far from the Ruiyu Hall. Although the Marquis of Jingcheng has lived in the imperial capital since the early years of this dynasty, and it has been returned to the end, it is from the same origin and often has contacts.
And after Wei Huan Zhishi, because there was no one in Ruiyutang to continue the position of Situ, he strongly recommended Jingcheng Hou Weiqi, and now he is allowed. Therefore, during the New Year's Festival, the Marquis of Jingcheng will send people back to express their condolences to Jing Pinggong and Wei Huan, in order to show that they will not forget the old feelings.
Wei Huan was not yet old enough to know the destiny of heaven when he was in the imperial capital, and he was used to all kinds of opportunities when he was in the imperial capital, and after returning to Fengzhou, he was in good health, and he couldn't help but be bored. And although his third son, Wei Shengnian, won the position of assassin by his father, his ability was actually mediocre, and he managed Fengzhou in a daze. Wei Huansuo's 'sex' administers Fengzhou on behalf of his son, and every day Wei Shengnian is sent to the ya'men to review official documents and judge the facts of the case on behalf of his son--this is a few years ago.
In recent years, the rule of the imperial court has become more and more devastation, bandits are rampant everywhere, and the Rong people in the north of the Great Wei Dynasty and the Qiu Di in the west are all stupid 'wants'. Although Fengzhou is located in the south, the terrain is long and narrow, and the northernmost point is across the Nuchuan River and Donghu County, and Donghu is bordered by Beirong - after all, it is not peaceful to be exposed.
Originally, Fengzhou was Shangzhou, and the state was extremely rich compared to other states in the Great Wei, and Wei Huan suppressed it with an iron fist, and there were not many bandits. But three months ago, a nest of bandits appeared in Fengqi Mountain, less than 100 miles away from the city of Fengzhou, robbing the merchants and ordinary people who passed by. Last month, Wei Huan's second son, Wei Shengyi, who was the right servant of Shangshu in the imperial capital, sent a cart of woven cloud silk back to Fengzhou to pay respect, but they were also robbed, and even killed several family members.
Wei Huan was furious, and on the one hand, he personally wrote to the imperial court, and on the other hand, he summoned Zhou Yong, and asked Shi Songhan, the governor of Fengzhou, to send a team of soldiers and horses to Fengqi Mountain to suppress bandits.
- Song Han is a son of the side branch of the Song clan in the south of the Yangtze River, because the Wei and Song dynasties were married, and the relationship between the two families was very good, and this Song Han also married the 'daughter' of a side branch of Rui Yutang, so it was his turn to be the governor of Fengzhou.
Song Han was an official in Fengzhou, and he did not dare to slack off on Wei Huan's order, and after gaining the trust, he not only sent an 'elite' army, but also rushed to Fengqi Mountain in person. He went in person, Wei Huan stayed in the state city for a long time, thinking quietly, and also followed the past to watch the battle, because he was not at home now.
Wei Huan is not there, Rui Yutang is the head of Mrs. Song.
Mrs. Song is Song Zaishui's aunt and grandmother, and she is also Mrs. Song's cousin. In contrast, Mrs. Song is actually quite good, although she has suffered for nine years, whether it is Wei Changying or Wei Changfeng, they are both healthy and intelligent, and they have not suffered the pain of death in the end. And Mrs. Song gave birth to a total of four sons and two 'daughters', but in the end, only the eldest son Wei Zhenghong and the second 'daughter' Wei Zhengyin survived to adulthood.
Wei Zhengyin is okay, he grew up safely and went out of the cabinet smoothly. She is married to the son of the Su family in Qingzhou, and now she is in the imperial capital with her husband, and the 'door' is the same as the case - far away, and the 'daughter' under her knees has also made the trip, so there is nothing to worry about Mrs. Song.
And Wei Zhenghong, as the only surviving son of Mrs. Song, although he occupies the position of the eldest son, he has been lingering on the sickbed. Not only can he not be supported by his father to be an official eunuch and glorify the 'door' lintel like his brothers, but he can survive until now, and there is a 'daughter' and a son who are blessed by God.
It is because Mrs. Song is particularly doting and attentive to Wei Changying and Wei Changfeng's sister and brother, why is there anyone or something that makes Mrs. Song unhappy, but whenever she sees Wei Changying or Wei Changfeng, she will definitely be able to smile from her heart.
But this time, Wei Changying and Song Zaishui held hands and entered the 'door', but they saw Mrs. Song's 'gloomy' face, sitting alone in the hall, her eyes seemed to have a trace of 'yin' and ruthlessness, and the 'waiters' around them all lowered their heads, so quiet that they could hear a needle!
Seeing this, the two couldn't help but be stunned, Wei Changying was used to being pampered in front of Mrs. Song, and after being stunned, she stepped forward as usual and called her grandmother happily - I don't want Mrs. Song to wait for her and Song to finish the salute before she woke up like a dream, smiled reluctantly, collected the 'yin' ruthlessness, restored the former kindness, and said, "You are here?" Sit down, it's hot on the road, it's like a bottle to bring up the fruit from the well, don't use frozen cheese, that thing is hot, and it's not good for the 'girl' to eat too much. ”
Although she greeted her granddaughter and nephew, Mrs. Song's tone was full of tiredness and exhaustion that could not be concealed.
Mrs. Song's confidant Chen Ruhua hurriedly responded and ordered someone to pick up the fruit gushing in the well.
Wei Changying said: "The granddaughter' was with her cousin just now, and she ate frozen cheese mixed with a lot of fruit, but now she doesn't really want to eat it. ”
Old Madam Song sighed and said, "Then do you want to eat snacks?" ”
"I don't have to." Wei Changying rolled her eyes, looked at her grandmother suspiciously, and always felt that Mrs. Song didn't seem to be right today, and said, "Isn't grandmother feeling well today?" ”
Song Zaishui waited for her to care, and then said, "Grandmother is tired?" ”
Old Madam Song glanced at them, and she didn't know if it was an illusion, but the old lady seemed to have a sad look on her face, but she still said, "It's a little." ”
Wei Changying was used to beating up and currying favor with his grandmother, so he immediately got up and rolled up his sleeves and said, "I'll beat my 'legs' for my grandmother!" ”
Song Zaishui followed: "I'll 'rub' my aunt's shoulders for my aunt." ”
Chen Ruhua pursed her lips and said with a smile: "The old lady has such a good granddaughter and nephew 'daughter', she should be happy, there are old ladies on the left and right." ”
Old Madam Song reluctantly hooked the corners of her mouth, and said lightly: "Yes, they are all good children, I always have to protect them." ”
This is a bit inexplicable, Song is 'dew' on the water' and 'groaning' 'color', Wei Changying looked up at her grandmother suspiciously, but Mrs. Song didn't tell her what she meant, just 'touched' her hair and asked: "Didn't Fang Cai Green House come over and say, can't you come here today?" Why is it here again? ”
Wei Changying was waiting for her grandmother to ask about this, and immediately skillfully 'revealed' her grievances, and said: "Originally, I didn't come, but then I missed my grandmother, so I still came." ”
Of course, Mrs. Song knew about her being punished for kneeling, and as usual, although Mrs. Song was punished reasonably, Mrs. Song always had to comfort her out of distress and give something to appease her. This time, Wei Changying was pondering whether to ask for the set of glazed horses on the Bogu shelf in the old lady Song's inner room, or whether there was a sword to ward off evil spirits in this hall...... I didn't want Mrs. Song to say: "Chang Ying is becoming more and more well-behaved and gentle now, and it will be better to do this in the future." ”
"......" Wei Changying was stunned for a moment, and seeing that Old Madam Song had no intention of continuing, he had to say helplessly, "Yes." ”
Song Zaishui also 'revealed' a touch of surprise, and was sinking 'groaning' about how Mrs. Song could change her 'sex' and temperament today and not feel so sorry for her granddaughter', at this time, she came over from outside the 'door', and said that the third lady led the fourth lady, the fifth lady, and the fourth and seventh sons to ask for peace.
Wei Huan now has a total of four sons and three 'daughters', and the youngest son, Wei Shenghe, passed on to his childless half-brother Wei Jiong, and the 'daughters' all married separately. Because his eldest son Wei Zhenghong has been ill for a long time, Wei Huan can only vigorously cultivate his second son Wei Shengyi and third son Wei Shengnian.
But the third son Wei Shengnian's talent is mediocre, Wei Huan is worried that he may not be blessed to stay in the imperial capital after he returns to his hometown, so he asks for 'sex' to let him resign from his official position and serve his father, and get a Fengzhou Thorn History from now on, so that he can guide and teach nearby. However, the second son Wei Shengyi completely inherited Wei Huan's 'shrewdness', and Wei Huan was relieved to stay in the imperial capital to be alone.
Wei Shengyi was in the imperial capital, and his wife and family did not return to Fengzhou. Now there are only big rooms and three rooms and two rooms in Ruiyu Hall, and the old lady Song is from a prestigious family, and she is married to the same long-standing "door", and the most important rules are not. Except for the grandchildren of the two in-laws, who received special indulgence from her, the rest of the younger generations have always dared not even breathe in front of her.
Although they have to come over every day to say goodbye, except for Wei Changying and Wei Changfeng's sister and brother, no one dares to rush into the 'door' without warning, they must pass through, Mrs. Song nodded, and only then did she dare to come in. At this time, Mrs. Song hummed, paused for a moment, and then said in a casual tone: "Call them all in." ”
The messenger went out to spread the word, and the third lady led the way with the four grandchildren arranged by age and the accompanying maid of the maid. Although a large group of people came in, they all moved lightly, only hearing the subtle sound of their dresses, and there was not even a sound in the middle, which showed how strict the etiquette of the Wei family was.
For hundreds of years, the most taboo marriage is not a class, and the third lady is naturally from a famous 'family'. Her mother's Pei family has been prominent for less than a hundred years, because her grandfather's generation has been a Taifu, and it can be regarded as one of the anointed, but her father and her generation are only a Ministry of Industry Shangshu, and they are in danger of falling into the surname A. The background is far less profound than that of the Wei family, so even if Wei Shengnian is a concubine, the third lady can be regarded as a high marriage.
Therefore, the third lady is the most important of the three daughters-in-law. Not only does she come every day, but she also carefully cultivates and teaches her daughters regardless of her descendants, for fear that her concubine will laugh at her mother's shallow background and can't afford to be the 'wife' of the Wei family.
This Pei's appearance is delicate, quite pretty, she started her head and behaved soothingly to greet Mrs. Song, at this time Wei Changying and Song Zaishui also stopped to beat Mrs. Song's legs and 'rubbed' shoulders, and retreated to the side to salute together.
Old Madam Song shouted, and everyone straightened up together, all of them were dignified and neat.
After getting up, Pei Shi glanced at Mrs. Song's face was not very good, and she secretly felt a sudden in her heart, didn't she just marry into the 'door', and she knew best that this mother-in-law was very deep. When it comes to idle things, Mrs. Song's joy and anger are not at all 'lust'.
In other words, it must not be a trivial matter to be able to make Mrs. Song feel sad.
Pei's mind was spinning - who provoked this anger? Originally, she came here today to ask Mrs. Song for instructions, but now she is not sure whether she should talk about it here.
Note 1 The word "anointing" is seen in the encyclopedia, and it is easy to understand at one level.
Note 2 One of the sources of the surname Wei is like this, but this article is empty, please do not correspond to the real surname Wei.
Note 3 hall number: The original meaning is the name of the hall and room. The hall name is the name of the family's 'door' and is an important part of the family culture. Because in ancient times, people with the same surname lived in many clans, often for several generations in the same house, or the tribes and houses of the same surname lived in a certain place or several similar halls and houses, and the hall number became the common emblem of a person of the same clan.
