Nanking.

Ling, who used to like to put on a lady's shelf, is now really a lady.

It's just that she is no longer called Mrs. Ling, but the famous "Mrs. Fei", a real Mrs. Fei!

The Datong New Dynasty did not have too complicated regulations on the dress of the wife, but only set the color and pattern of the dress. But every time Mrs. Fei goes out, she follows the etiquette system of a one-product order, since the new dynasty does not stipulate too fine, then follow the style of the Ming Dynasty to wear.

Let's talk about the crown first, and the five Zhai birds on the front are all inlaid with pearls. Below the bird, there are peonies made of two pearls. At the top of the crown are two birds made of gold, with pearls in their beaks. The rest of the body has a large velvet pattern of emerald clouds and emerald leaves, and above the forehead are pearls and silver ornaments.

Zhai Guan's mouth ring is slightly innovative, which is not quite the same as the Ming Dynasty system. The emerald circle was changed to a red circle, and in addition to the eight golden flowers, there were also three emerald beads. This is because Mrs. Fei likes red, and the emperor "likes" jadeite, so the cuikou becomes red, and three more jadeite beads are added. Of course, the clothes are Chu Zi and Zhai pattern Xia Wei, and the pendant in front of him is no longer equipped with gold flowers, but all changed to jade and pearls. Elegant!

Mrs. Fei is in her early fifties this year, and because of her good maintenance, she still looks charming.

Dressed neatly under the service of the maid, Mrs. Fei stretched out her left hand, and immediately a maid stood up for her and helped her all the way to the inner courtyard. Dignitaries and nobles like to raise orchids, but Mrs. Fei doesn't like them. The servants in her family were all hired for money, and they changed their stinginess when they were young and were generous to the male and female servants around them.

If the servants have difficulties in their families, she often explains them generously, and she is deeply admired by the servants in the house. "Go and call the lord and the lady." Mrs. Fei commanded. Of course, the master is Fei Chun, and Fei Yu, who died half a year ago, is the old lady. Madame is Fei Chun's wife.

Fei Chun was worried at home at this time, and it was not convenient to travel, so he nested in the study all day long, and learned to play Go to relieve his boredom. took his wife to the inner courtyard, and when he saw his mother dressed in formal clothes, Fei Chun couldn't help but ask, "Mother, where are you going?"

Mrs. Fei said, "My eldest grandson is sick, and I have asked the Bodhisattva to bless him. You also went with you, and asked the Bodhisattva for you that day. I didn't tell you what I had in your room."

"I said it three days ago." Fei Chun's wife replied in a low voice, she was also dressed up today. Fei Chun had no choice but to keep up.

Mrs. Fei said again, "It's not solemn to wear a Taoist robe, quickly change into your civilian clothes." "Taoist robes belong to casual clothes, and casual clothes are the daily clothes of officials, and it can be seen at a glance that this person is an official. Fei Chun sighed and obediently went back to the room to change into civilian clothes.

The carriage of the Fei family is quite simple, not inlaid with gold and silver, but the carriage is relatively large, and the horses are more powerful. There are not many entourages on the trip, and there are a few men and women, which is strongly requested by Fei Chun, otherwise Mrs. Fei will inevitably hug each other. Out of the gate, there was already a carriage waiting.

On the carriage, a woman, about forty years old, bent down and made a blessing ceremony, "Meet A-Niang." "Ouch, my daughter has been waiting for a long time." Mrs. Fei is kind and pleasant, and her attitude towards her daughter-in-law is much more affectionate.

This woman is Xiao Qifeng's wife Liu, who had already been neighbors with Fei Chun when she was in Luling County. At that time, Fei Chun's income was not high, and he did not receive rewards for mines and salt shops, so he lived a tight life. Liu often came to visit the door, and always brought some small gifts, which made Mrs. Fei smile. After coming and going, Liu became Mrs. Fei's goddaughter. If it weren't for the fear of messing up the generations, the two would have gotten married a long time ago. Now that Fei Chun's second son has reached adulthood, and Liu's cousin and niece are about to get married, the two parties have made a marriage contract, and they can get married next year. Compared with Mrs. Fei's nobility, Liu's is much more simple, just an ordinary lady's dress.

Mrs. Fei took Liu's hand and asked, "Why haven't you ever seen the gold pendant I gave you for my mother?" Liu replied, "My grandson is an honest official, and he doesn't like his family to show off." ”

Xiao Qifeng's character is a clean official, last year his son bought a horse, and rode a horse on a rampage on the street. Xiao Qifeng rushed to hear the news and broke his son's leg on the street, which had already spread throughout Nanjing, and was even praised by the emperor.

Mrs. Fei sighed: "It's not greedy silver, how can you say more?" You are also a three-grade fate, don't fall into majesty when you go out, so that other official ladies look down on you behind your back. ’

Immediately, Mrs. Fei pulled Liu into the car, and her son and daughter-in-law took another car.

The carriage advanced some distance, and Liu took out the jade bracelet from his arms, "My grandson has an old subordinate who is an official in the Pingnan Military and Civil Mansion. In that part of Burma, there was nothing but jadeite everywhere. Jadeite is very expensive in Nanjing, but it is cheap in Myanmar, so my grandson accepted it. The daughter knew that A-Niang liked this thing, so she asked the craftsman to polish a pair of bracelets. ’

"Ouch, this color is so green," Mrs. Fei liked it more and more, holding Liu's hand and saying, "You don't have any decent jewelry, why don't you keep it for yourself."

Liu said, "The daughter's mother died early and has always been abused by her stepmother. After meeting A-Niang, it was like seeing my mother. A-Niang loves me so much, not my mother, but like my mother. When her daughter has good things, she naturally thinks about A-Niang. Ah Niang didn't want to excuse herself, so she asked her daughter to be filial. Mrs. Fei was even more happy, and immediately put on the jade bracelet, took Liu's hand and said, "You are my own daughter, and it hurts more than my uninteresting daughter-in-law." If there is anything missing, open your mouth and tell A-Niang as soon as possible, don't be afraid of trouble-a-Niang. "My daughter doesn't lack anything, I just want my mother to live a long life." Liu said.

"I don't want to live a long life, I can live to seventy," Mrs. Fei sighed, "My family didn't enjoy happiness when I was young." The son finally had a chance, but he died of a serious illness, which is really not a happy life. Liu hurriedly said, "Ah Niang, mourn, the days to come are still long." Old Mrs. Fei was a little depressed when she thought of her deceased husband, and Liu coaxed for a while before she became happy. When they arrived at Dezhongshan Temple, Liu helped Mrs. Fei to get out of the car, and Fei Chun and his family became redundant followers. However, the Liu family was very interesting, and turned back from time to time to laugh with Fei Chun, for fear of snubbing the two main masters. Those good men and women came and went, and some recognized them and greeted them from time to time.

Even if there are people who don't know each other, when they see Mrs. Fei's fateful outfit, they all stop and bow their hands.

With such a beautiful scenery, Mrs. Fei was in a happy mood. She likes to go out in formal clothes and is respected by others, which is as comfortable as drinking ice water on dog days. "Hail the old lady!"

But I saw a woman walking out of the main hall with a maid, and when she saw Mrs. Fei, she immediately saluted. Old Madam Fei nodded slightly: "The lady of the Wang family is polite."

This woman is the wife of the king of the Ministry of Rites, and she has a second-class order, which is quite a bit of weight in front of Mrs. Fei. After a few simple greetings, Mrs. Fei asked, "Is the lady of the Wang family coming to worship the Buddha, or is she coming to Zhongshan Temple to go around?"

The lady of the Wang family replied, "The second child of my family, I will graduate from middle school next year, and I have to go to the Taoist Buddhist temple to worship, please bless the gods and Buddhas from all walks of life." ”

"Yes, this kind of thing should be prayed to God and worship Buddha," Mrs. Fei said, "Although we can all pay for our children and grandchildren to go to college, can the self-funded ones compare with the public-funded ones?" Publicly-funded college students become officials, just like the non-commissioned officers of the previous dynasty. Self-financed college students become officials, that is, they have passed the examination, and they are also like the officials of the previous dynasty. My eldest grandson is so angry that he hasn't even gotten his high school diploma, and he can't afford to go to college at his own expense. The old man was angry and simply sent him to a military school. This bastard boy didn't get a graduation certificate from the military academy, so he could only be sent to start as an official. By the way, what are the grades of your second child's wife' The lady of the Wang family said, "It's barely passable."

Fei Chun couldn't help but speak, "Mother, don't compare." The second son of Wang Shangshu's family, although he was eliminated in Huangcheng Middle School, it is definitely no problem for people to take the university entrance examination at their own expense. ”

Mrs. Fei was sullen, and couldn't help but say, "You two don't know how to teach your children to read, and you're busy all day long."

This sentence is actually complaining about Fei Chun's wife.

Fei Chun immediately helped his wife speak, "Mr. Xixi is also invited, and several of them are invited, all of whom are well-known and erudite." Every holiday, he gives the bastard boy a make-up lesson, he can't learn it himself, who can blame the eldest for being a waste, the second is not much worse, only the third is still a reading material. In the future, when the third child makes up for the class, mother, don't feel distressed, read and let him play. "You're complaining that I dote on my grandson," Mrs. Fei said angrily. Can't. Fei Chun hurriedly bowed his head.

The lady of the Wang family was a little embarrassed, and squeezed out a smile and said, "Old woman, Fei Ge Lao, Mrs. Fei, I still have a place where I haven't worshiped in the Arhat Palace, so I won't disturb you to worship the Buddha." Farewell!"

Mrs. Fei entered the temple to make a vow, and began to make a wish again, asking the Buddha and Bodhisattva to bless the grandchildren to become smarter. After worshipping all the halls in the temple, Mrs. Fei finally went home. As soon as I arrived at the gate, I saw a group of men in black surrounding me.

Fei Chun was so frightened that he was already sweating. Then I thought, Lao Tzu is not corrupt, I'm afraid they are a fart

The man in black who took the lead stepped forward and bowed his hand towards Fei Chun, "Excuse me Fei Ge, we are also under the emperor's order, please come with us." Also, Mrs. Fei and Mrs. Xiao also have to go and sit. Fei Chun became more and more puzzled, "My mother will go too"

The man in black said, "Xiao Qifeng's incident happened, and Master Fei San was also involved in the case." ”

"My third brother is in Shandong, what case can I not fight with Xiao Shufeng." Fei Chun looked disgusted. The man in black didn't explain anymore, but said, "Everyone, please." ’

No matter how big Mrs. Fei's temper was, she didn't dare to attack when she met the man in black, and she followed at a loss. Walking and walking, I couldn't help but ask, "What case did my third son commit?"

"I'll find out when I go to the National Security Agency." The man in black said.

At this moment, Xiao Qifeng's wife, Liu, suddenly fainted after walking a few steps. I was so dizzy, scared to faint.
