[Chapter 4, Volume 4]

Section 469

Wei Changying discussed with the Huang family, so he went to see Shen Zangzhu and told her his plan.

Shen Zangzhu was a little surprised at first-didn't Ji Qubing say that he would be accepted as a disciple? How did you become a righteous girl? But she originally liked children, and Wei Changying also said that this time she just accepted Cao Ya as a righteous daughter, as for Shen Zangfeng, she will wait until she returns to Beijing. This is Wei Changying's private matter, and it has little to do with the Shen family. Therefore, he readily agreed, and promised to organize the ceremony of receiving the righteous girl on his behalf.

So he chose an auspicious day, held a banquet in the back hall of Mingpei Hall, and invited the close female relatives of the Shen clan to come over to watch the ceremony and corroborate, Wei Changying sat in the hall, received Cao Ya's big gift, drank the tea she offered, and changed her mouth on both sides, and the name of the righteous mother and righteous daughter was decided.

Wei Changying had the heart to give Cao Ya a long face, and the meeting gift prepared was a set of jade heads handed down from the previous dynasty. Cui is a good cui, carved by a famous family, and by more than ten generations of owners close to the body, carefully managed, put in the brocade ebony lacquer plate when sent out of the house, full of green, moist and shiny, causing a sigh of admiration, all said that Cao Ya has a good life, should go to such a distressed daughter's mother-in-law, even her own daughter is difficult to have such a precious thing at her age.

But Cao Ya didn't have this eyesight, and only knew from the surrounding reactions that the things given by the new mother-in-law were very good, but as for how good they were, she didn't know. Hengzhi took her back and the elders took it for her, so she behaved neither humble nor arrogant, thanked her according to the rules, and let the servant hold it for her, and never looked at it again. This style made everyone who knew her background look at her, thinking that even if her uncle cured Wei Zhenghong's favor, how capable would it be to make Wei Changying recognize her as a righteous daughter.

After Wei Changying gave the greeting gift, the banquet began.

Everyone moved to the side hall where the banquet was held, and all kinds of delicacies were served like flowing water, and the aroma of the dishes was mouth-watering. At this time, Cao Ya showed her original form of not being tall, her eyes lit up at first, and she barely listened to Wei Changying's polite words, so she immediately picked up the toothbrush and ate it happily. Huang specially arranged for the servant who accompanied her to pull his sleeves and cough and couldn't stop, seeing that there were more and more surprised and smiling looks around him, the servant gritted his teeth and quietly sprinkled a bowl of soup on her skirt, taking the opportunity to confess to everyone, and forcibly led her down to change clothes.

Taken outside, the Huang family came forward, and taught Cao Ya on the spot, and Cao Yafang, who came back from changing into new clothes, restrained a little and no longer gobbled up - at this time, she became too Sven again, sandwiching a piece of meat, and every time she breathed in her heart, Fang carefully bit a few shredded meat......

Wei Changying saw that many people looked at Cao Ya with a little sneering in the corner of his eyes, and he didn't like it in his heart, but at this moment he had to pretend not to know. After all, everyone's etiquette can't be taught with a temporary advice, and these people didn't say anything or do anything, they just looked at Cao Ya and smiled, can they still drive people out because of this?

Fortunately, Cao Ya is still young now, and it is only Xiliang here, so it doesn't matter if she makes some jokes. She was thinking about how to start guiding Cao Ya after the banquet, but she heard the fourth uncle, Mrs. Huo, who was at the same table, say with a smile: "Little Miss Cao was born very cute, no wonder you like her so much." It's just that the little girl is now eight years old, and it's not a matter of using a milk name all the time, today is a good day, my wife has many mouths, do you want to take advantage of this morning to make a big name for this child? In the future, girls come and go, and it is easy to call it. ”

In fact, Mrs. Huo said it tactfully, Cao Ya's surname was Cao Mingya, and this girl was her name. It is said that it was taken by her father or grandfather. Although the Cao family established Caojiabao, they actually didn't know how to read. Originally, the displaced people were extremely poor, they couldn't eat enough, they couldn't get by, and they were embarrassed to the point of leaving their hometowns to earn a living. Therefore, Cao Ya is known as the daughter of the castle lord, and her name is also very far from elegance.

Ji Gu may be because she is just a granddaughter, not a grandson, and she doesn't care about her name.

If Cao Ya has been in Caojiabao all her life, it is nothing to use this name. Now that you have to go to the imperial capital with your elders to be served, there will be many real ladies in the future, and it would be ridiculous to continue to call this a chic name that is not as good as the name of a maid.

Whether Wei Changying or Ji Qu's illness, she will not be allowed to suffer in this.

At that moment, Wei Changying smiled and said, "The fourth uncle is very right, two days ago, the lord of the wooden castle wrote a letter to entrust me with this matter. It's just that I came up with a few names, but I couldn't choose them. While my uncle is here, give me a slap? ”

Old Madam Huo smiled and said, "It's good to have all the names you have learned, but you can't choose them, it's all because you love this child." ”

After such a greeting, Wei Changying asked Zhu Yi to take the name he proposed for Cao Ya, and after Mrs. Huo and several other female relatives saw it, they had a little controversy, and they agreed with the word "Yiren", on the grounds that Cao Ya was delicate and must be a beauty in the future.

In this way, Cao Ya was officially renamed Cao Yiren.

However, Mrs. Huo and the others chose this name, in fact, it was not all for Wei Changying to hear.

On the way back to the house after the banquet, Shen Die'er asked her grandmother curiously: "Just now I stood behind my grandmother, and I saw that there was a better one on the paper that Aunt Wei proposed to name Miss Cao, why did my grandmother choose 'Yiren'?" She still hasn't said anything: Cao Yiren's eating appearance after today's banquet is in everyone's eyes, and she is too restrained in front of her and too restrained in the back, in short, she is a country girl who is difficult to get on the stage. Such a person, with the name of the Yi people, who means a beautiful person, Shen Dieer always felt discordant.

"You don't know." Old Madam Huo chuckled and said, "Your aunt-in-law's maternal cousin, the eldest lady Song who is now married to the Su family is said to be in Shui, and I heard that their cousins have a very good relationship. The so-called Iraqi people are on the water side. The word 'Yiren' must have been taken by your Aunt Wei when she thought of her cousin, which one should you choose if you don't choose this? ”

Not everyone is as empathetic as Old Madam Huo.

The others came out of Mingpeitang, but there was something unpleasant in their private words: "The surname Cao was born in the countryside, and I am afraid that I can't read a single big character." That is, by virtue of having a good uncle, she was accepted as a righteous daughter by Mrs. Wei. As the daughter of the Wei family in Fengzhou and the daughter-in-law of my Shen family, she must learn to read and write. In her case, if she were to choose an elegant name, maybe she would have to learn when she would write her own name. Mrs. Wei's name has the least strokes of the word 'Yiren', and Mrs. Wei and her party will take her back to the imperial capital after entering the summer, if she still can't learn to write her name at that time, where will Mrs. Wei's face go? Thinking of Mrs. Wei, let's let her go. ”

Some people sneered when asked: "You also saw it at the table today, this little girl, if she wants to talk or not, if she wants to eat or not, she can't even talk about the scene!" Except for the appearance given by his parents, he is passable, but he is useless! Don't praise her for being a beauty when she grows up, what good words can she say without a clear conscience? ”

Everyone muttered all the way away, and Wei Changying asked Shen Zangzhu to take away his niece and son, leaving Cao Yiren to talk in his room.

After Ji Qu arrived in Xiliang due to his illness, he took over anything that needed to come out on Ji Yuan's side. In addition, Wei Changying has a baby, childbirth, confinement, and childcare by herself, and she has not seen Cao Yiren for more than a year. It's really a little unrecognizable today-Xu is not as bitter as when he was in Caojiabao after arriving in Xiliang City, especially after Ji Qu fell ill, he loved this niece very much, and changed his way to make up for her body, Cao Yiren jumped taller than when he first met.

She was six years old at the time, but she looked like she was only four or five years old. Now I look like a seven or eight-year-old girl.

And the eyebrows and eyes have also grown a lot, as praised by Mrs. Huo and others, this girl has many shortcomings, but fortunately she has a good appearance, beautiful and dignified. As long as you adjust the rules, you are not afraid of losing face if you take it out.

Wei Changying looked at her once, then smiled kindly, and beckoned her to sit down beside her and say something considerate.

Cao Yiren sat down with a clear and restrained attitude, but when he listened to Wei Changying's words, he couldn't help but look at the Huang family next to him, and his expression was obviously waiting for Huang's reminder before deciding how to deal with it.

"It's kind of obedient." Wei Changying nodded secretly in his heart, if it was a completely disobedient master, it would take a lot of effort to teach, now it looks like Cao Yiren, although his own rules are not very good, but he listened to Huang's words before and did it; At this moment, I also look at Huang's face to choose to deal with it, which shows that he is willing to learn. In this way, the reason why this child is disrespectful to his grandfather is probably because he has no good discipline.

Thinking of this, Wei Changying waved away the Huang family, and talked to Cao Yiren - after all, Cao Yiren was her righteous daughter, but no one paid attention to it like a little girl in Ji Yuan, and there were few people watching every move in the future. If someone hears her grandfather "old and immortal" again, it will be a big problem.

So Wei Changying didn't care about the name of mother and daughter, and immediately pointed it out to her, after all, it also takes Chenguang to change her mouth, right?

Who would have thought that Cao Yiren, who had always been restrained, well-behaved, and silent in front of her, showed disapproval after hearing this, and said: "My grandfather called me 'losing money' all day long, why can't I call him 'old and immortal'?" ”

"As a child, respect for the elderly, this is all right." Wei Changying said with a straight face, "What's more, Uncle Ji has been displaced all his life and has suffered a lot, so that his heart is depressed, and it is inevitable that some will be brought out in his words." As a junior, you should be more tolerant! And Uncle Ji definitely doesn't hurt you, otherwise, how could he let you be so disrespectful for many years without being punished? ”

Ji Gu is such a ruthless person, if he really wants to discipline his granddaughter, Cao Yiren will be so clean up that he doesn't dare to go to the west and dare not look at the north in the south.

Cao Yiren didn't think so: "My grandfather has been displaced all his life, and it wasn't me and my mother who harmed him, but he always scolded us for being angry, what is the reason?" And my grandfather scolded us because he wanted a son or grandson, and I was disappointed because my mother and I were both women. But we can't be blamed for that! Besides, my grandfather loves me, am I not filial to him? I've been serving him tea and water. ”

"Words are still disrespectful, even if you are considerate, outsiders will definitely think you are unfilial." Wei Changying shook his head secretly in his heart, thinking that Cao Yiren had always seemed to be timid in front of him, and he could listen to it as soon as he said it, and he had an idea if he didn't want to--But you have some good ideas!

I heard Cao Yiren continue: "What do outsiders think, what does it matter to me? At the beginning, my mother told him that her daughters were all losing money and goods, and they were useless, and she only hated him for saying that he was not blessed and had no son, so she climbed the cliff more than ten zhang high to pick medicinal herbs, but was forced to fall off by a nest of goshawks on the cliff, and almost fell to her death in front of me! After that, my grandfather didn't change his mind - I wasn't as stupid as my mother, and he was angry! He called us 'lose money', and I called him 'old and immortal'! Unalterable principle! ”
