Chapter 434 Cao Yi Ren

After Wei Changying and Huang had discussed the matter, he went to see Shen Zangzhu and told her about his plans.

Shen Zangzhu was a bit surprised at first--didn't Ji Zhaosi say that accepting him as a disciple would be enough? How did he turn into a righteous daughter? However, she was already fond of children, and Wei Changying also said that he would only take Cao Ya as his daughter this time, and as for Shen Zangfeng, he would wait until he returned to the capital to talk about it. As for Shen Zangfeng, he would wait until he returned to the capital. This would be Wei Changying's personal matter, and would have little to do with the Shen family. Therefore, he quickly agreed to do so, and promised to organize the ceremony for his daughter.

So we chose an auspicious day and organized a banquet in the back of Ming Pei Hall, inviting the close women of the Shen Clan to come over to observe the ceremony and to support the testimony. Wei Chang Ying sat on the hall, accepted Cao Ya's gift, drank the tea she served, and both sides changed their mouths, so that the name of the rightful mother and rightful daughter was considered to be finalized.

Wei Changying was determined to give Cao Ya a long face, and prepared a set of jadeite headdresses that had been handed down from the previous dynasty as a welcome gift. Cui is good Cui, master carving, and by more than a dozen generations of the owner of the personal warmth, carefully managed, shelved in the ebony lacquer plate padded with brocade was sent out of the full blue, moist light glistening, causing a slurping admiration, said CaoYa life is good, should be such a heart of the rightful daughter of the rightful mother, that is, the real daughter of her age is also very difficult to have such a precious thing to hand.

Cao Ya did not have this eyesight, only from the reaction of the surrounding area to know that the newly recognized mother to give something very good, as to how good, she did not know. In any case, she took it back to the elders for her to receive, so instead of acting unassuming, in accordance with the rules thanked to receive, let the servant for her to take, and then did not look at a glance. This style of behavior made the people who knew her origin think highly of her, thinking that even if her uncle had cured Wei Zheng Hong's favor, but could make Wei Chang Ying recognize her as a righteous daughter, in fact, there are a few points of ability.

After Wei Changyin gave him his welcome gift, he started the banquet.

The crowd moved to the side hall where the banquet was held, and various delicacies were served as if they were flowing in water, and the aroma of the dishes attracted people's mouths to salivate. At this time, Cao Ya revealed herself to be a person of modest background, first with glowing eyes, barely listening to Wei Chang Ying's polite words, then immediately copied chopsticks and ate with great joy. Huang's specially arranged to accompany her servant was tugging at his sleeve and coughing, but could not stop, seeing the surrounding cast more and more surprised and seemingly laughing, the servant clenched his teeth, quietly put a bowl of soup on her skirt, took the opportunity to apologize to the crowd, and forcibly led her down to dress.

Taken outside, by Huang's appearance, and Cao Ya good on the spot to teach some, changed the new clothes back Cao Ya Fang convergence of some, no longer wolf swallowing this time she became overly civilized, clip a piece of meat, each in the heart of tens of breath, before carefully biting into a few shredded meat... ...

Wei Changying saw out of the corner of his eye that some people were looking at Cao Ya with a sneer, and he was not happy about it, but he had to pretend he didn't know about it. After all, everyone's etiquette is not something that can be taught in the interim, and these people didn't say or do anything, but they just looked at Cao Ya and laughed, can they still kick people out because of this?

It was good that Cao Ya was still young, and since this was only Western Liang, it didn't matter if she made a few jokes. She was thinking about how to start instructing Cao Ya after the banquet, when she heard Old Lady Huo, who was also present, say with a smile, "Little Miss Cao is very cute, no wonder you like her so much. She's eight years old now, so it's not a good idea to use her maiden name all the time. Today is a good day, so I'll ask my wife if she'd like to take advantage of this opportunity to give the child a big name. In the future, the girls will also be able to address each other."

In fact, Mrs. Huo said euphemistically, Cao Ya's family name is Cao Ya, this Ya word is her first name. It is said that this is her father or grandfather named. Although the Cao family established the Cao Family Fort, but in fact can not read. Originally, the migrants are extremely poor, can not eat enough food, can not live, the embarrassment to the point of leaving their hometowns to make a living, talk about literacy? Therefore, Cao Ya called the Fort's daughter, the name is also far from elegant.

What about Jigu perhaps because it was just a granddaughter, not a grandson, and didn't bother with her name.

If Cao Ya had spent her whole life in the Cao Family Fort, it would have been fine to use this name. Now that she is going with her elders to the imperial capital to live a life of being waited on, and there will be a lot of really big girls coming and going in the future, it would be ridiculous to continue to call her by this name, which is not as chic as other people's maiden names.

Whether it's Wei Changying or Ji Zhaodi, they won't let her suffer in this.

At that moment, Wei Changying smiled and said, "Fourth Grandma is right. Two days ago, Lord Mu wrote to me and entrusted me with this matter. I've come up with a few names, but I'm not sure what to choose. Why don't you give me a look while you're here?"

Old Lady Huo smiled and said, "With your talent in picking out names you think every one of them is good, yet you still can't choose one, it's all because you love this child."

After exchanging pleasantries, Wei Changying asked Zhu Yi to bring in the name he had proposed for Cao Ya. Old Lady Huo and a few other ladies looked at it, and after a small dispute, they agreed on the word "Yi Ren", reasoning that Cao Ya was a beautiful girl and would surely be a beauty in the future.

This officially changed Cao Ya's name to Cao Yi Ren.

But Old Lady Huo and the others didn't choose this name for the same reason that they told Wei Changying.

On the way back to the house after the banquet, Shen Die'er asked her grandmother curiously, "Just now I was standing behind my grandmother, and I saw that there were better names on the piece of paper Auntie Wei had proposed for Little Miss Cao, so why did my grandmother choose 'Yiren'?" She still has words to say this day after the opening of Cao Yiren's eating appearance is everyone saw in the eyes, the front has lost grace after too much constraint, in short, is a hard to get on the stage of the countryside little girl. Such a person, with a metaphor for the beautiful people of the Iren for the name, Shen Dieer always feel that it is not harmonious.

"You don't know." Old Lady Huo laughs softly and says, "Your Aunt Wei's first cousin, that Miss Song who is now married to the Su family's maiden name is said to be in the water, and I've heard that they are extremely close cousins. The so-called Iren, in the water side. The word 'Yiren' is probably what your Aunt Wei took when she thought of her own cousin, so which one do you choose if not this one?"

Not everyone is as understanding as Old Lady Huo.

Other people out of the Ming Pei Hall, but in private there are bad words "that surnamed Cao from the countryside, I'm afraid that can not read a word. It is also relying on a good uncle, but was accepted by Mrs. Wei as a daughter. Do Fengzhou Wei's first daughter, my Shen's first daughter-in-law's adopted daughter is certainly to learn to recognize words. In her case, if you choose an elegant name for her, it's possible that she'll have to learn how to write her own name with a lot of strokes. Mrs. Wei's name on the 'Yiren' word strokes the least, after the summer Mrs. Wei and his party will take her back to the imperial capital, to that time if she still can not learn to write the name, Mrs. Wei's face where to put it? If she still can't learn to write her name by then, where will she put her face? We'll let her off the hook for the sake of Mrs. Wei."

There are also people asked to sneer "This day on the table you also saw, this little girl, to talk no talk, to eat no food, even can't talk about the scene! In addition to the parents give a pair of appearance is still passable, is simply nothing! If you don't praise her for being a beauty when she grows up, what else can you say without a good conscience?"

As the crowd dispersed, Wei Changying asked Shen Zangzhu to take his niece and son away, leaving Cao Yiren alone to talk in his own house.

Since Ji Zaixiang had arrived in Xiliang, he had taken over whatever needed to be done on the Ji Garden side. In addition, Wei Changying had not seen Cao Yiren for more than a year, since she was in labor, giving birth, and taking care of her child. She was a bit unrecognizable when she met her today perhaps because she hadn't suffered as much as she had in the Cao family's fortress after arriving in Xiliang, and especially because Ji Zhaizi had loved her niece very much after she arrived, and had given her all sorts of ways to replenish her body, so Cao Yiren had grown taller than she had been when she first met her.

She was six years old then, but she looked four or five. Nowadays, the party looks like a seven or eight year old girl.

And her eyes have grown quite a bit, just as Elder Lady Huo and the others praised, even though this girl has many shortcomings, she is fortunate to have good looks and is beautiful and dignified. As long as she is well-trained, she will not be afraid of losing face when she goes out.

Wei Changying sized her up once, then revealed a kind smile and beckoned her to sit down beside him for some personal conversation.

Cao Yiren sat down with a certain amount of restraint, but she couldn't help but look at Huang as she listened to Wei Changying, her expression clearly waiting for Huang to remind her and decide how she would cope.

"You're quite obedient." Wei Changying secretly nodded in her heart, if it was a completely disobedient child, it would take a lot of effort to teach her, but now she saw that although Cao Yiren's rules were not very good, she had listened to Huang's words and did what she was told, and at this moment she was also looking at Huang's face to choose her response, so it was obvious that she was willing to learn. In that case, the reason why this child is disrespectful to his grandfather is most likely because he doesn't have a good discipline.

Thinking of this, Wei Changying waved Huang away and talked to Cao Yiren after all, Cao Yiren had become her adopted daughter, so she would not be as unnoticed as a little girl in the Garden of the Seasons, and her every move would be watched. If people heard her calling her grandfather "old man", it would be a big trouble.

So Wei Changying didn't care about the fact that she had just been named mother and daughter, and immediately pointed her out.

Where did it occur to me that Cao Yi Ren, who had always appeared restrained, well-behaved, and reticent in front of her, revealed a look of disbelief when she heard this and said, "Grandfather calls me 'money-loser' all day long, so why can't I call him 'old and undead'? "

"As a child, it's only right to respect your elders." Wei Changying said. Wei Changying said, "Besides, Mr. Ji has suffered a lot in his life, so he is depressed and his words will inevitably come out. It's a good idea to be more tolerant! And Ji Laozhang is definitely not pain you, otherwise, how would you let you so disrespectful for many years, but not flogged?"

If Ji Gu, who is so ruthless, really starts to discipline his granddaughter, Cao Yiren will be cleaned up so much that she won't dare to go to the west or the south, and she won't dare to look at the north.

Cao Yi Ren didn't think so "Grandfather's life of upheaval wasn't caused by my mother and me, but he always scolded us to take out his anger, what kind of reasoning is that? Moreover, Grandfather scolded us because he wanted a son or a grandson, but my mother and I are both women and disappointed him. But it's not our fault! Besides, Grandfather loves me, am I not filial to him? I've always served him with tea and water."

"The words are still disrespectful, even if you are considerate, outsiders will definitely think you are unfilial." Wei Changying secretly shook his head in his heart and thought that Cao Yiren had always been timid in front of him, and that he would listen and act according to what he said, but he didn't want to be a person with an idea but you'd rather have a good idea!

I heard Cao Yi Ren continue, "What do outsiders think, what's it got to do with me? In the beginning, my mother was so angry with him for saying that his daughters were all money-losing goods, half-used and useless, and that she hated him for not being blessed with a son, that she climbed up a dozen-foot-high cliff to pick herbs, but was forced by a nest of eagles on the cliff to fall, and narrowly escaped falling to her death right in front of my face! Grandfather didn't change his tune after that I wasn't as stupid as my mother, letting him get away with it! He called us a 'money-loser,' and I called him an 'old fool.' It's only right!"
