While the imperial capital was raging with dark currents, in Xiliang, in Mingpei Hall, there was a sense of harmony and joy.
As the proverb says, a child "turns over three times, sits down six times, rolls around seven times and crawls eight times". Jiang Huoyue, born in June last year, was already more than eight months old at this time, and had been raised by He's family to be so fat that her little hands stretched out and poked out a nest of flesh, and her legs and arms were all like lotus roots. She was wearing a colorful gold-embroidered butterfly jacket and dress sent by Wei Changying, and rolled around on the rug like a ball, giggling and babbling with great enthusiasm.
Different from the commotion she made was Shen Shuxie, who landed on the ground in November last year, because he was just under four months old, yet he was still wrapped in swaddling clothes and held lovingly by his great aunt Shen Zangzhu, who couldn't scream yet, and could only turn his dark and bright eyes to look at everything around him with curiosity and quietness.
Rug on the southeast corner of the rug is Shen Shu Yan in teaching Shen Shuxi recognize words, regardless of three-year-old sister can not understand, Shen Shu Yan said to the head of the excitement, rolled up the sleeves waving the brush and write, pen like flying brake has a talented woman momentum, said that the surroundings threw a slip of ink ...... there are a few drops even flew to the face of Shen Shuxi.
Noticing this, Shen Shuyan hurriedly took another handkerchief to wipe her sister. She is now almost all of her own handkerchiefs, embroidery skills are exquisite. Shen Shuxi sharp eyes see red and green, a grab in the hand and refused to let go, Shen Shu Yan several times to reprimand her can not, ran to aunt and aunt to complain she passed the New Year, is seven years old, but Shen Shuxi is only three years old, or since the birth of the sickly. Even if the elders because of her strong jealousy to let her point, this will not help but also have to round out a few sentences "just a piece of cloth, sister like, why don't you send it to the sister how? Back to the aunt and then sent you some good silk thread and satin, you will work hard, and then embroidered a well!"
"You child, you still have the nerve to talk about your sister." Wei Changying pulled her into her arms, tapped her forehead, and said in an exasperated and amused manner, "Have you forgotten that a few years ago in the imperial capital, when Auntie went to your great aunt's side to meet you, you grabbed the hairpin on her head and refused to let it go? Auntie didn't care about that hairpin, she wanted to give it to you on the spot. How can you still begrudge your sister a handkerchief now?"
Shen Shuyan beamed, "For that hairpin, both Second Sister and Mother scolded me! I wasn't allowed to take it either!"
However, after talking about it, she got tired of it in Wei Changying's arms and stopped talking about the handkerchief that Shen Shuxi had dragged away. After a few moments, she heard Wei Changying and Shen Zangzhu talking about family matters again, so she felt bored and broke away from Wei Changying's hand and ran to play with her cousin again.
Looking at the large Hall of Light, the four children looked very lively as they ran around, Wei Changying and Shen Zangzhu both felt very happy. Shen Zangzhu lamented, "I haven't seen this kind of bustle at home for some years."
"Big sister is right, it's more lively than the New Year's days, there are more children to make it more lively." Wei Changying laughed, "But thanks to Big Sister's careful care, Xi'er is doing much better now. Otherwise we'd be hanging on for her, and wouldn't be in the mood to watch them make a fuss."
Shen Zangzhu thought deeply, "The children's health is our greatest blessing, but Xi'er can get well, or to thank the Ji Divine Doctor ......"
Before these words were finished, there was a small messenger girl at the door who raised her voice to report, "Eldest Miss, Young Lady, the Sixth Duke is here, saying that the Divine Doctor Ji came by just now and entrusted him with a matter to come and talk to the Young Lady about it!"
"The Divine Doctor can be really unforgiving, just mentioning that someone has arrived." Shen Zangzhu and Wei Changying were stunned for a moment and laughed out together.
Wei Changying said, "It's not just that they've arrived, we don't even know it, but they've gone away again--quickly ask Sixth Brother to come in."
A few moments later, the sixth son of Shen Huikun entered the door, he wore a big red hunting clothes, jade belt waist, foot pedal soap boots, arm wrapped with a long black whip, the whole person looks heroic. The corner of the coat is stained with a few pieces of new hair and young leaves, when entering the door because of lifting the robe fell, fell on the scarlet rug is particularly conspicuous, seems to emanate the cold of the distant mountains and grass and wood aroma this kid would be too much to stay in the ancestral hall in the uninteresting, and ran out to hunt.
After Shen Zangfeng left, at first Shen Zangzhu and Wei Changying didn't have much constraint on Shen Jiekun, and let him wander around on his own looking for fun. But Shen Jinkun went too far last time, competing with an unruly clan brother for a flower girl in a brothel, and actually lost his head in a fit of pique, ransoming the girl and threatening to take her back to Ming Pei Tang!
Shen family this kind of family, even the common people look down on, not to mention the dust women. In the hook bar to smash the silver to hold the flower girl that is outside, play a game for fun, nothing. But bring people home, even if Shen Ruikun did not say what name to give her, but it is also impossible according to current thinking, this kind of person brought into the Shen family, or ancestral hall, this is not dirty Shen family threshold?
It is also thanks to Shen Zang Feng is not in, otherwise he must be hung up and beaten! And Shen Jiekun's fiancée, Huo Qingling, has not even been married yet, but she has a concubine first, or a woman from a brothel, not even a maid who has been serving Shen Jiekun since she was a child even if the Huo family is not as good as the Shen family, but the Shen family is proud of its own family, and will not authorize such a thing as sweeping away the face of the future daughter-in-law, and degrading the family's reputation.
The good thing is that Shen Jiekun was both drunk and angry, and the people around him were still a little bit sober, so they hurriedly sent someone back to report Shen Zangzhu, Wei Changying. After the two knew and anxious and angry, under the deliberation of the fourth uncle Shen Kaori, Shen Jiekun and that with his anger of the brother of the clan each hit fifty, and make people will be the flower girl returned to the original home, which only rounded off the scene.
After that, Wei Changying, in order to prevent the occurrence of similar things, and Shen Zangzhu together with the face to severely reprimanded Shen Jiekun, and sent people to inform the Xilang City, the hook bar, gambling houses and other places who dares to receive Shen Jiekun, seducing the clan's son to learn the bad, carefully the clan's Miss and the third young lady issued an order to demolish the up and down the bones!
Since then, Shen Huikun want to go to seek pleasure again, each pimp shopkeeper is kneeling in front of the door to beg him not to go in .......
At first, Shen Congkun refused to listen to his words and went to his sister and sister-in-law to discuss the matter with them in anger. He was so angry that he went to see his sister and sister-in-law to discuss the matter. As a result, Wei Changying and Shen Zangzhu gave him a long and hard talk, which made him want to faint only then did he realize how gently Shen Zangfeng and Shen Zangqi had been disciplined by his third brother before!
After all, Shen Zangfeng disciplined him, and the most that would happen to him would be a beating.
The biological brothers, Shen Zang Feng's men have their own measure, the most is to tell him to suffer a little bit of flesh and blood, get over it. Occasionally, Shen Ruikun is not convinced, but also with his brother on a few sentences, make some noise.
But although his sister and sister-in-law don't beat him, he can't stand these two's preaching, can he still fight with his sister and sister-in-law?
It was so that Shen Convergent Kun was now well-behaved, and he could only be well-behaved either dawdling in the Ancestral Hall or going out of town to hunt.
Seeing him dressed up today, he naturally just came back from hunting.
Shen Ruikun to sister, sister-in-law see the family salute, not yet say things, not far away Shen Shuyan has been dipped in the ink of the purple hair a throw, pulling his sister Shen Shuxi ran over together, after salute, then cheered "Sixth uncle, sixth uncle, you can come back! I want to go ride 'Red Flame', can we go now?"
And again, "Take Ciel with you, too!"
Now this clan in western Liang three children Shen Shu Yan is the eldest, she is an outstanding talent to learn everything a little bit of the main. Because of the love of the Di people sent steed "red Yan", last year from the Di Cui Guan back, by the third uncle Shen Zangfeng taught riding skills. Of course, she is so big and a girl, no one will let her ride alone.
After Shen Zangfeng left, Shen Shuyan wanted to ride again, so Wei Changying asked Shen Jiekun, his sixth uncle, to do it. At first, Shen felt that teaching his niece how to ride would be a waste of his time because he was too busy drinking and gambling, but he had to agree to it because of his sister-in-law's and niece's honor.
Later he could not play, teaching Shen Shuyan actually became one of the few errands. As a result, Shen Ruikun now on several nieces and nephews favorite is Shen Shuyan then again, if it is from the point of view of the teacher, Shen Shuyan this kind of look pretty bold talent, whatever is a teachable disciple, I'm afraid that there is no do not like the teacher.
At this moment, although he had come specifically to deliver a message to his sister-in-law, he still smiled and touched Shen Shuyan's little head, saying, "Yan'er is good, when Sixth Uncle finishes speaking with your Third Aunt, he will take you there! Xi'er is however too small, when she grows up a bit, to your size, Sixth Uncle will take her there again."
Shen Zangzhu is afraid that Shen Shuyan will not comply, continue to pester delayed Shen Ruikun said the main event, so he beckoned Shen Shuyan and Shen Shuxi called to the side, embraced to prevent them from making a fuss.
Shen Rui Kun then said that he returned from the hunt and happened to meet Ji Zhaodi to visit the thing entrusted to him "Dr. Ji said that his cousin and niece did not have the surname of Ji because of a variety of reasons. Now he wants to change his surname back to Ji."
"Oh? This is a good thing." Shen Zangzhu and Wei Changying looked at each other and said.
Mu Chunmian changed her surname, according to her own words, because Ji Ku was saddened by the death of her parents, Ji Ying's heir was withered, it can be said that there is no cover on the top, the bottom of the few heirs, so the word "Ji" to remove the top apostrophe and the bottom of the word son. But although this may really be one of the reasons, but another reason is likely to be Ji Gu as a fugitive, always want to cover up a bit, so as not to hurt his daughter.
But last year, when Ji Gu's identity was confirmed, the Wei family went to the table to beg him for a pardon from the oracle. Now there is a world famous famous doctor Ji Daizi this nephew as a dependency, naturally, there is no need to let the daughter change her surname .......
As for Cao Ya, she should really be surnamed Cao, but the Cao family had been pinched by Ji Gu's father and daughter before, and now there was no place for them to speak. Cao Ya's last name, that's still not Ji Gu's decision? Besides, the Ji family is certainly not considered a scholarly family, but their status and treatment is similar to that of a small scholarly family. Cao Ya's family name is definitely more promising than Cao's family name.
The problem is, for something as trivial as changing the surnames of Mu Chunmian and Cao Ya, it would not be necessary for Ji Zhaizi to tell Wei Changying, as long as he said so when he returned to the imperial capital and registered the three of them in the household registry of Ji Gu, right?
