415 Chapter 415 Respect Your Differences
Light brain tips: Are you watching pirated texts now, or the subscription rate is too small.? After Xiao Cong laughed with her for a while, he talked about today's schoolwork.
At the second moment of Shen Zheng, when the homework was about to end, Xiao Yan said hello to his brother, and went to the inner courtyard before leaving.
Ever since she learned that Shen Qingyi had cold hands and feet due to lack of qi and blood during that fitting, she was obsessed. After trying on clothes, he instructed Wolan, saying that in the future, whether she went out or was in the house, she would let the young lady bring a hand stove. The next time I came to Chenghe Hospital, I went to the inner courtyard to ask Bai Su if the young lady had prescribed medicine to recuperate. Bai Su replied that the young lady had a medicinal diet that was useful to regulate qi and blood every day, and Xiao Yan was a little relieved. When I turned around, I was busy flipping through the medicine book, looking for medicinal materials that have the effect of regulating qi and blood, and I was so busy for more than half a month......
When it was her turn to take medicine class on the 22nd, she didn't forget to ask Shen Qingyi how the medicinal diet was and how the prescription for qi and blood conditioning was.
Shen Qingyi's brain hurt when she asked, and he didn't give her a good look, "With your half-tone of pharmacy, can you still give me the following?"
Xiao Yan had a serious expression on his face, "I want to urge my sister-in-law to use medicine, don't fish for three days and dry nets for two days." ”
Shen Qingyi's cold eyes glanced at her, "My own body, haven't you paid attention to it?" ”
Bai Su chuckled on the side and said, "Seventeen Langjun is concerned about the young lady. ”
"That's it!" Xiao Yan said solemnly, "Sister-in-law is the person I care about and like the most!" She used two "most" in a row, and nodded in an accentuated tone.
Shen Qingyi's heart jumped, and then he slanted his eyebrows at her, "The most?" ”
Knowing that Xiao Qiqi's words were exaggerated, her fingertips were hot - the hand stove was too hot.
Her fingers slipped, and the stove in her sleeve landed on her knee.
Xiao Yan said without hesitation: "Except for the lady and brother, I like my sister-in-law the most!" ”
Her eyebrows and eyes smiled, pure as a lotus, mellow as wine.
Shen Qingyi didn't drink alcohol, she drank tea.
Except for her mother since she was a child, she has never been said "liked" so clearly - it seems that Zhang's fifteen lang, Lu's nineteen lang, and Zhou's how many langs have said? Of course, Xiao Yan's "like" is not that kind of like, she knows it.
It was because she knew that she was a little flustered.
If it was the love between men and women, she would have looked at her coldly and slapped it in the face.
It was because it wasn't that she couldn't hold back her joy.
She does not deny that she likes Xiao Yan and likes to have such a brother who is as beautiful as jade and pure as water.
But she has never experienced getting along with her sister and brother, and she didn't know how to deal with Xiao Yan's straightforward "like" for a while.
Her face was slightly hot for a while, and she hastily picked up the tea soup on the couch table, covered her sleeves and took a sip.
The tea soup was fried very much, because Xiao Yan liked it, and there was milk in it, which was thick and mellow.
Shen Qingyi will feel like drinking the osmanthus wine she buried under the tree in her mother's yard, because the first wine is green and astringent, with some astringency, but because it has been buried for a long time, it is rich and intoxicating.
is like Xiao Yan's smile at the moment, mellow as wine.
She could have such a brother, right? Shen Qingyi thought so.
Her lips were no longer overflowing with a smile, she reached out to put down the teacup, glanced at Xiao Yan, and said as if scolding: "Don't say such things in the future, you know?" The cold and snowy eyes looked at Xiao Yan, but there was no chill, only the clarity and clarity of the snow remained, "The people we care about the most are father and mother." Kids, they talk nonsense. ”
"Yes, yes." Xiao Yan smiled and nodded, moved forward, reached out to hold Shen Qingyi's palm, and his crystal eyes were full of joy.
Although she is close to her fourth brother Xiao Cong, they are brothers and sisters after all, they can't be intimate like sisters, and they can lie down in the bed at night and whisper...... "Hey, it's good that my sister-in-law is my sister!" She muttered under her breath.
Shen Qingyi held her with his backhand and smiled in a clear voice, "Ah Yan, sister-in-law is like a sister!" ”
This is the first time she has called Xiao Yan "Ah Yan".
Sister-in-law rarely calls me uncle.
Only close siblings are called that.
Xiao Yan was stunned, and then jumped up excitedly, stepping on the brocade stockings and walking around on the carpet, his voice was excited, "Sister-in-law, let's bow down, brother and sister, oh no, sister, like Liu, Guan, Zhang, Taoyuan Sanjieyi...... I, you, and my brother, are exactly three people, haha, three knots. ”
The corners of Shen Qingyi's mouth twitched, "You and your fourth brother are our own brothers, what kind of righteousness do you have?" He smiled again, "Also, my brother and I are already husband and wife, what kind of marriage Liu Guanzhang is?" ”
Bai Su and Qing Hui couldn't help but chuckle.
"Oh, I forgot ...... for a moment of excitement" Xiao Yan patted his head, walked back with a smile, and knelt in front of Shen Qingyi, "Then let's get married, Liu, Guan, and Zhang have one less, only Liu and Guan, oh no, Liu Xuande is the lord, and we should be Guan and Zhang Jieyi." She was in high spirits.
"Then are you Guan, or Zhang?" Shen Qingyi couldn't help but tease her.
"Huh?" Xiao Yan was stunned, "It's a metaphor, it's just a metaphor." "Guan and Zhang Changcheng are like that, it's too crazy.
"Thinking about it is coming out of it." Shen Qingyi glanced at her, "The love of a sister and brother is with heart, not with a head." ”
"Good...... bar. Xiao Yan was a little disappointed, but when he saw the tea soup on the couch, he had an idea again, stepped forward with both hands, stepped back and straightened up, and respectfully said to the front, "Brother Xiao Yan respects sister tea." ”
Shen Qingyi couldn't help but smile softly, at this moment, it seemed that the ice and snow were quietly melting, his face was like a flower of spring dawn blooming, and his eyes were so clear and crystal clear that it made people a little dizzy.
She reached out and took the bowl of tea, smiling and sipping it down.
Xiao Yan blinked, recovered from Fang Cai's amazement, and once again felt that Shen Qingyi was very good-looking.
Of course, smile more.
In the evening, Xiao Cong learned about Taoyuan's righteousness, laughed, and said, "In the future, Qingyi will have more brothers, and Ah Yan will have more sisters, which is very good." ”
Shen Qingyi hooked the corners of his lips and said: "It's a pity that there are only Taoyuan two knots, and they can't make up a couple." ”
Xiao Cong laughed, feeling that his younger brother was sometimes really cute and tight.
***
After a few days, there was another flake of snow in the sky.
The couple got up at the beginning of the year, went out at the end of the morning, went to Rui Si Tang and Shenghua Courtyard, and said goodbye to their parents.
After Xiao Cong asked his father to say goodbye, he had a morning meal in Ruisi Hall, and then went to the Ya, and did not return to Chenghe Courtyard until noon. After Shen Qingyi accompanied Princess Anping to have a morning meal, if she didn't do housework in the morning, she would go back, and if she was in housework, she would usually return to Chenghe Courtyard at noon. The couple had a daytime eclipse together.
After the eclipse of the day, Xiao Cong went to the outer courtyard for a lunch break as usual, and Shen Qingyi got up after taking a break on the couch outside the bedroom for two moments, washed up and used tea. Bai Su went upstairs to report that the head of the village and the head of the shop had arrived.
These village heads and shop heads are her dowry slaves.
Wuxing Shen's family is the family of Liang Shi, and the dowry of the daughter of the concubine is regulated, and it cannot be described by ten miles of red makeup, not to mention that Shen Qingyi is the son of the Lanling Xiao family who married as a concubine, and the dowry cannot be less. Shen Qingyi's father, Shen Lun, personally inquired about the dowry list, even if the Lu family had a grudge against Shen Qingyi's mother and daughter, he did not dare to deduct the dowry, or shoddy, otherwise it would be the entire Shen family who was despised.
Therefore, Shen Qingyi's dowry was very rich.
In addition to boxes of gold and silver collars and green coins, there are all kinds of furniture made of precious wood, as well as gold, silver and jade jewelry, fur and silk silk, etc., as well as granges and shops. Because Shen Qingyi was married to Hezhou, the fields in the south of the Yangtze River could not be used, and the Shen family had to buy it in Hexi Road and the adjacent Hanoi Road - it was Lu's biological daughter who was married at the beginning, and Mrs. Lu was of course dedicated to buying these, but who knew that after years of preparation, it was cheaper in the end, and Lu was so angry that he spat blood.
However, Shen Qingyi didn't care about her dowry at first, and focused on treating Xiao Cong, if Xiao Cong couldn't be cured, everything about her would be in vain. It wasn't until Xiao Cong's cold illness was pulled out that she had the heart to rectify the industry under her name. She is not at ease with those slaves and maids who have heads and tails with the Shen family, although the deed paper is in her hand, but the families of these slaves and maids are all in the Shen family. Shen Qingyi has the intention to replace, but she can't replace them all at once, otherwise it will lead people to gossip that she is at odds with her mother's family.
So, she asked her father-in-law Xiao Yu for a few people.
Shen Qingyi's asking for someone from Xiao Yu is tantamount to exposing the conflict between her and her mother's family to Xiao Yu.
Generally speaking, a woman from a family who does not have her mother's family to rely on is easy to be despised by her husband's family, but Shen Qingyi knows that Xiao Yu is different - it is precisely because she and the Shen family do not have much connection that they dare to use her.
Xiao Yu's return was soon delivered.
Within two days, the chief supervisor Xiao Cungui sent fifteen slaves and maids over, along with the deed paper of the old and young of the family, and from then on, the whole family of these slaves and maids was just Shen Qingyi's slaves and maids.
She placed the fifteen slaves and maidservants in the grange and the important shop in the middle of the marriage, and at first occupied only a secondary or less obvious position. Looking for the wrong thing again, finding the wrong place, not in a hurry, replacing them one by one, it took half a year before and after, and only half of them were replaced, and she didn't move those who were very related to the Shen family. Don't rush, take your time. If the Shen family feels that they can't control her, their mother's life in the Shen Mansion will not be easy.
She had to plan carefully.
She sometimes hates that she is not a man - the Tang Dynasty law stipulates that after the son of a scholar becomes a family, if he has fame, he can take his biological mother out for support.
But her mother never regretted that she was a daughter, and often smiled and said, "My Wen Yin is smarter than Lang Jun." ”
Wen Yin is the nickname given to her by her mother, from "The Book of Songs: Qin Feng" "Wen Yin Chang Hub, Drive Me Qi Bun", a very gentle word, in fact, refers to the tiger skin - her mother hopes that she will be soft on the outside and strong on the inside.
It's a pity that she is rigid on the inside, but there is no softness on the outside, and her mother often sighs and strokes her head, "My little Wenyin is as cold as snow, cold as ice, alas, the little lady has to smile more to ......" and said, "A sword that is too sharp, without a scabbard to cover, will also hurt itself." ”
Thinking of his mother's words, Shen Qingyi pulled a faint smile on his lips, but his cold eyes were as cold as the snow in the courtyard.
Chi Peony served her in a wind coat, and Xiang Lan handed over the hand stove filled with charcoal, and together with Bai Su, he followed Shen Qingyi downstairs to the West Pavilion to meet the stewards of these granges and shops.
After more than half an hour, the shopkeepers left respectfully. Whether it is sincerely respectful or pretending to be submissive, this Lanling Xiao Clan's Mansion is not a place where they can be wild.
At both ends of the eaves of the ancestral hall, an eagle with wings spread and soaring was cast with pig iron paint - Xiao Cheng, the ancestor of Xiao's Hexi, said when he set up the ancestral hall: "Lan is rooted in the ground, this is the soul of Xiao, and the eagle soars in the sky, this is the spirit of Xiao." The soul is complete, and the party is the Lanling Xiao family. ”
Xiao Yan touched the etching of the gladiolus with her fingers, looking at the sharp eyes of the flying eagle, the wings stretched vigorously, and the claws like iron hooks, her heart seemed to be rolling up a wave, and a pride of standing on the ground and standing up to the sky swelled.
Perhaps, all the children of the Xiao family, regardless of men and women, will suddenly have such pride when they kneel on this solemn and grand ancestral hall square for the first time.
This is the Lanling Xiao family.
Xiao Yan thought to herself, she liked this family because its "soul" was so suitable for her heart.
After a while, there was the sound of footsteps in the square.
In a few moments, someone knelt down on the brocade mat on the east side, it was Xiao Zhang and his wife Sun Yunxin (xin), and their four children were kneeling behind.
Xiao Zhang's gaze swept over Xiao Cong and Shen Qingyi, who were kneeling in front, and fell on Xiao Yan, his expression suddenly shocked. Change.
Xiao Yan's kneeling position was facing Shen Qingyi's back, that was the position of the third son, the color of the black sacrificial dress on her body and the color of the belt were vermilion, this was the color of the concubine, and the concubine was light scarlet.
Xiao Zhang's eyes were gloomy, and in an instant, he was shocked and angry in his heart, and he took a deep look at the silver mask on Xiao Yan's face, and then sat down facing the ancestral door.
Sun Yunxin was also very surprised in his heart, and with an arrogant look of his eyes, he fell on the vermilion placket of Xiao Yan's Xuanfu, and his thin eyebrows were raised, staring at Xiao Yan's face with scrutiny.
Xiao Yan looked sideways slightly.
Sun Yunxin and Xiao Yan's shining eyes met, their eyes suddenly froze, they turned their heads suddenly, looked at the gate of the ancestral hall, their hearts pounded twice, and the faintly emerging hostility sank suddenly, and for a while I only thought that a pair of eyes were so moving, and I didn't know what the appearance under the mask was.
Xiao Yan thought that this second sister-in-law looked okay, but it was far worse than her sister, her eyes fell on Shen Qingyi's slender but straight back, and she retracted it in a blink of an eye, thinking that it was okay to wait like this, so she silently recited the Taishang Jade Qing Sutra, meditated with her eyes half-closed, and everything around her gradually left her.
In the sound of footsteps, people sat down on the east and west seats one after another.
The people kneeling nearby all looked at Xiao Yan's kneeling position in amazement-when did a concubine emerge from the Yanzhi?
Xiao Yan was wearing a mask on his face, which was even more strange.
But before the ancestral hall, it was solemn, even if everyone was surprised and strange, they only looked at it a few times, and then they all knelt quietly.
Within two moments, the thirty-six columns of people were kneeling down one after another.
The three sisters, Xiao Ke, Xiao Se, and Xiao Long, knelt behind Xiao Yan's side.
Xiao Se had a cold temperament, and only glanced at Xiao Yan, the "brother-in-law" who suddenly appeared, and lowered his eyelids indifferently. Xiao Long was very curious, with beautiful big eyes, staring at Xiao Yan's beautiful posture, his long and curled eyelashes fluttering, looking like that, if it wasn't in front of the ancestral hall, he would have already pounced. Xiao Ke only felt a headache, and warned his sister who was too lively, his eyes swept over Xiao Yan, and he was also shocked in his heart, but there was no color on his beautiful and elegant face.
Xiao Cheng and Xiao Ying came late, and the thirty-six columns were almost full.
When Xiao Cheng saw Xiao Yan, his eyes were about to widen!
How did this bastard appear in front of the ancestral hall?
Or is it a son, a third, a son!?
Xiao Cheng only felt dizzy, and his chest was angry for a while, and he pointed at her and wanted to drink.
Xiao Cong turned his head suddenly, and a cold look shot at him.
Xiao Cheng had never seen his brother-in-law's eyes so cold and so sharp, he was shocked in his heart, the cheer choked in his throat, and the hand pointing at Xiao Yan couldn't help but hang down, and he sat down on the brocade cushion behind his brother under Xiao Cong's cold gaze.
Xiao Cong gave him another warning before turning around.
Xiao Cheng gritted his teeth, turned his head to the left, and glared at Xiao Yan fiercely, if it was a knife, Xiao Yan would have been killed a long time ago.
Xiao Yan half-closed his eyes, as if he didn't see him, which made Xiao Cheng even more hateful. But no matter how arrogant he was, he didn't dare to make trouble in front of his ancestral ancestral hall.
Nineteen Xiao Yu knelt on Xiao Yan's west, staring coldly at Xiao Yan on the right, especially glanced at her mask a few more times, raised her eyebrows, and smiled coldly. Leaned forward again and glanced at Xiao Cheng provocatively, and made a "horse" mouth shape to him, Xiao Cheng's eyes were sharp, and Xiao Cheng frowned and sneered.
At the first moment of the first month, the thirty-six rows of seats were already full, and the people from all branches and rooms had arrived, except for children under the age of five and those who were sick and weak and could not be sacrificed, as well as those who could not rush back because of their posts and travels, all the clansmen in the five suits of the Xiao clan in Lanling gathered in this ancestral hall square.
Xiao Yu and Princess Anping helped Mrs. Tai to the square and knelt down at the front.
At two o'clock, the bell struck.
The celebrant who presides over the priest is usually a clan elder with high morality and prestige and a healthy body, and this year it is still Xiao Yu's third uncle Xiao Liang who presides over it.
Xiao Liang is sixty-three years old, his hair and beard are still black and shiny, and a roar is like a bell: "Open the ancestral hall!" ”
Thirty-six sect disciples stepped forward, opened the thirty-six black lacquer ancestral doors together, and then retreated and knelt back to the seat.
"Worship at the shrine!"
Mrs. Tai is in front, Xiao Yu and Princess Anping are behind, followed by Xiao Cong and Shen Qingyi, entering the ancestral hall from the middle gate, paying homage to the ancestors, and offering sacrifices.
Afterwards, 22 uncles and uncles, including three brothers and 19 cousins of Xiao Yu's father, entered the ancestral hall with their wives through the corresponding doors to pay homage and offer sacrifices.
After that, there are brothers of Xiao Yu's generation.
In addition to the two younger brothers who died young, Xiao Huan's own brothers also have a brother and two younger brothers, and there are 98 cousins and sisters in the four suits, who belong to each branch room, and enter with their wives or husbands from each door to pay homage by name.
After that, the sons and daughters-in-law of the Yanzhi branch entered the shrine to worship.
Finally, the cousins of each branch enter the shrine to worship.
The grandchildren below will not enter the ancestral hall, only worship in the square against the ancestral gate, and the grandchildren of the thirty-six rooms have as many as four or five hundred people.
There are more than 600 people who worship in the ancestral hall, and the descendants of the Xiao family are vigorous, and there are 296 cousins and sisters of Xiao Cong's generation alone, including more than 100 couples who enter the ancestral hall with their wives and langs.
Worshipping the ancestors in the shrine must be called by name, and the singer is the elder with the highest status in the branch.
Because of Xiao Yan's existence, the Yan branch was particularly eye-catching when he visited the shrine by name.
Many people in the ancestral hall are speculating that this sudden appearance of the grandson-in-law is likely to be the outer chamber of the head of the family, because he is loved by the head of the family, so it is recorded in the name of the mother-in-law - it can make Princess Anping nod, that is really a skill! Maybe it's just that I haven't nodded all the time, so I raised it so big.
When Xiao Yu called the name "The third son of the Yan Branch, the seventeenth generation of the jade character, Xiao Yan-", he was interrupted by a voice: "Slow!" ”
It was Xiao Yan who spoke out, Xiao Huan's eldest brother and the owner of the second long house.
Xiao Huan's hand holding the genealogy did not move at all, looked up at Xiao Huan, and said in an unhurried voice: "What's the matter with the second brother?" ”
Xiao Hui is Xiao Huan's eldest brother, but he ranks second among the Japanese characters.
He is only one year older than Xiao Yu, forty-six this year, his figure and appearance are maintained very well, he looks like thirty-seven or eight, a pair of phoenix eyes are shining, and his voice is loud, "How can you cover your face when you visit your ancestors?" Could it be that there is no shame to see the ancestors? ”
The author has something to say: It is said that eating lychees should be controlled within 8 or 9 (the big one), and a certain West controlled that he only ate 7 pieces, and the result was still on fire~~~
Alas! Think about it, it's still better than before, and it used to be hot when you ate 3 pills~
What a beautiful season, I can only look at the branches and sigh, and I am very suspicious of "eating 300 lychees a day", which must burn my tongue......
