Chapter 429 A Zhao said bluntly, uncle sincerely
Yijing picked up Mrs. Wei, who was about to salute with a smile. While listening to her polite words, she looked at her. Her aunt's skin was a little pale, her temples were still blue, but there were a few deep marks in her eyebrows, and the corners of her eyes were still flat. When holding the palm, she could feel that the skin of her palm was soft and delicate, which could be seen on weekdays. The maintenance is also careful. Maybe it's because I often frown.
Listening to her, she was not in a hurry, and her voice was slightly heavy. Although she softened her tone, it was still not difficult to hear a little harshness.
Only holding the round bun that the lady loves to comb, and a simple flat long jade pendant is inserted in her hair. There are no decorative carvings, but at this time, in the faint light of the sky, you can still see that the material is as soft as water lines.
A dark flower apricot-colored brocade, the sleeves and skirt are embroidered with vermilion lotus, elegant but not plain.
When she spoke, the corners of her lips were calm and her eyes were indifferent. Only when she looked at A Zhao, who had stood behind the beautiful scenery, she showed a little harshness.
"Mother, let's ask my cousin-in-law to sit in the hall first. My daughter has apologized for you. We just returned home. When I heard that my cousin-in-law had been waiting for a long time, she was anxious, but because she had not washed and changed her clothes, it was inconvenient to wait, so she sent her daughter to invite her sister-in first." A Zhao didn't care about Mrs. Wei's look, but still said with a light smile, looking directly at Mrs. Wei and not hiding her eyes.
Yi Jing smiled. She heard that A Zhao's words were comforting her aunt. Although she took her own initiative to welcome people in, she did not disclose the matter of "avoidance". First, she turned around and agreed for her aunt.
"Princess, please take a seat." After entering the main hall, Mrs. Wei wanted to take the first seat of the scenery.
Bingjingqing couldn't say goodbye. She thanked her, but insisted on sitting side by side with Mrs. Wei. She didn't care about her insisting on salute. She called her son's concubine and only called her aunt to show her closeness.
Both sides have their own insistence, but they have not forced each other.
When the maid was served tea, Mrs. Wei called her two daughters in and officially introduced them.
The beautiful scenery looks at the big cousin, and her eyebrows and temperament are extremely diametrical and noble. She is only less strict, gentle and softer, and not as lively as A Zhao's words. Although she is a little silent, it does not make people feel that she refuses thousands of miles away. She is a very standardized boudoir and chaste and amiable.
When the two sisters officially saw the ceremony, Yijing quickly got up, returned the half of the gift, helped Xia Ke up, and asked Xia Ke to present the prepared meeting gift, took it over, and put a pair of emerald bracelets on the wrist for the two sisters.
"My sister has reached the age, but I don't know if she has made a marriage." The scenery is not allowed to ask knowingly.
Wei Yun was red. Wei Zhao squeezed his lips and smiled, but sat on the brocade pier without interrupting.
Of course, Mrs. Wei will not hide it, but still maintains her respectful words and attitude: "I have decided to get married. I am the nephew of my ancestor's family. At present, I am studying in Tianjin Wei Renhe College, and the wedding date is set for May next year."
Yijing knew the details of Yun's future husband's family. Although no one entered the official in this generation, he was also the world's poetry and calligraphy. Na Renhe Academy was his family's own private school, but at this time, he tended not to know and asked with a smile that he was ready to participate in the first children's test of the imperial court.
"It is to prepare for a meritorious name, inherit the family, teach and educate people in the future." Mrs. Wei only answered briefly, but with a little pride in her eyebrows. It seemed that she liked the future son-in-law very much, and she was very satisfied that he would not become an official in the future. She specially specified that she only got a meritorious name and taught in the hall.
With such a few polite and cold words, the sky became darker and darker. Seeing that Mrs. Wei had never stayed for dinner, she naturally did not have the audacity to stay for a long time. She verbally invited her aunt and cousins to visit the royal palace, so she got up and left.
As Yu said, in order to eliminate grudges and get close, you can't expect to be close overnight. Although Mrs. Wei's attitude is indifferent, because of her politeness, she knows that she can no longer "avoid seeing", and she will not be as tough as her face to face. Naturally, she should also maintain the decacy of the clan and will not force people to be too much trouble. The flattery made people embarrassed and underestimated the king's palace of Chu.
Today, as a younger generation, her purpose of visiting each other with courtesy has been achieved, indicating the attitude of the King of Chu and expressing Yu's willingness to be close to her uncle's family.
What Mrs. Wei personally sent her out of the second door, turned back to the room, but shouted solemnly at Wei Zhao: "Kneel down!"
Wei Yun was shocked. Although his mother has always been strict with their sisters, she has never been so angry. She hurried to persuade her: "Mom, sister is also sorry. After all, the son is the bloodline of my aunt. The princess visited today and waited for the flower hall for a long time. It would be too rude for us to avoid each other."
Before her words fell, Wei Zhao had already knelt on the ground and squeezed the corners of his lips. There was no gentle look just now. Wei Yun knew that his sister was stubborn again, and he became more and more worried. Seeing that his mother's hand on the kang had been pinched into a fist, he quickly and softly advised, "My sister hasn't apologize yet. Don't make your mother angry. ."
"It's all your father's usual temper. Who let you make your own decisions? Your great-grandfather has had a family motto for a long time. Our nephew of the Wei family will never become powerful and become eunuchs. Your father has been forced to be helpless this time. He has violated his ancestral teachings, let alone can no longer be noble and attached to power!" Mrs. Wei's face was cold. She saw that although A Zhao was kneeling on the ground, she straightened her waist and was full of unconvincedness. She became more and more angry. She blurted out a sentence: "If you still don't admit your mistake, you must be severely punished today."
Wei Yun was anxious and was waiting to persuade him, but Wei Zhao suddenly raised his eyes and raised his voice and said, "Today, even if my mother wants to punish me, my daughter has to speak from the bottom of my heart. Whether it is my father's family's family's instructions or etiquette, law and morality. What he follows is nothing more than loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness. His great-grandfather regarded himself as the son of Dongming and did not want to submit to the new dynasty, but Dongming has been destroyed. Country, since we have been awarded the favor of Emperor Dalong, we should do our duty as ministers. In those years, if his great-grandfather was really loyal, he should follow the example of those who bear the burden of admonition, trying to prevent the mourning emperor's false belief in treachery and harming the country and the people, but in order to protect himself and return to the government. It is nothing more than being frustrated with the mourning emperor of the Eastern Ming Dynasty. The Wei family was a family of eunuchs as early as before the Ming Dynasty. If they only respected the king of the dynasty, shouldn't they should not have become an official in the Eastern Ming Dynasty?
Mrs. Wei never thought that her daughter would dare to speak bluntly about her great-grandfather's past. For a moment, she was so angry that she forgot to scold and stop it. Wei Zhao also ignored the anxious eyes of her eldest sister, raised her neck and continued to talk: "The mourning emperor was invinity, which led to the death of the country. Dalong's new king drove away the barbarians, killed the traitors, stabilized the national government, and made the people Being able to rest and recuperate, Gaozu Lixian, a corporal, edicted Wei's loyalty, and his great-grandfather resigned. Originally, it was against his superior intentions. If it hadn't been for Gaozu's generosity and generosity, not to mention the century-old reputation of security, I'm afraid he would have been investigated for the crime of infidelity.
"Gao Zu not only did not take responsibility, but also gave him a reward, so that the Wei family continued to be noble. Since the Wei family received the favor of the king and ate the title of great prosperity, they should not have claimed that they were loyal and upright, arrogant and unyielding, and had nothing to do with it."
"If you really don't want to be the new king, you should resign and be rewarded and support yourself!"
When Wei Zhao said this, he became more and more excited and took a deep breath: "This is Yu Gong and selfish. As the eldest sister said, the son is the blood of his aunt. Now that the Wei family has married the king of Chu, they should not be estranged from everything. Today, the imperial concubine came to visit. If the mother does not want to meet her, she should also speak out and use excuses to excuses. How can it be a gift? You shouldn't treat outsiders like this. What about relatives and friends? When the daughter heard that the concubine had an emergency, she left first, and then waited back to be dealt with. It can be seen that she was sincere. The daughter felt that we were disrespectful and then discordant and extremely rude. Because of persuasion, it was invalid, so she made her own decision. Although she violated the mother, she adhered to etiquette and morality. Therefore, if the mother wants to punish her, her own I'm not convinced."
After saying that, he did not avoid his eyes, but squeezed his lips and looked at his mother.
Mrs Wei reacted, and her eyebrows frowned more and more sharply. She stared at her daughter and scolded, "It's in vain that I have taught you the word 'filial piety' for many years. How dare you blame the elder today? What else do you dare to call etiquette and ethics..."
"If you know that the elder is wrong and don't say anything, is it filial piety? Moreover, my daughter does not mean to blame, but to persuade her. Dad has been edicted to become an official. If we still often claim the teachings of the great-grandfather's family, it is also ridiculous. If there are helpless words that are forced to spread out, it will cause harm to the family. If you think about it, isn't it difficult for the saints to secretly blame the strong man? Seeing that Mrs. Wei's expression changed, Wei Zhao eased her tone a little: "What's more, the teachings of the ancestors of the Wei family should be loyal to the country and love the people, so that they can't be in the name of a hundred-year eunuch. As a minister of Dalong, of course, she should be dominated by the king of Dalong. When her daughter was in Qingzhou, she heard that the emperor was determined to innovate and resume the imperial examination. According to the advice of the son of the world, this system is not only conducive to the elimination of the official system, but also more conducive to the people. That is, the grandfather and father often talk about it, also known as the good government of the country and the blessings of the world's scholars. In this case, there is an edict, and the Wei family should have done its best to do its best, which is not be in vain.
"But my grandfather still cares that his aunt insisted on marrying into the clan, which was against his ancestors' motto. Over the years, he has been indifferent to his cousin. Even if it was a big marriage, his grandfather did not allow his father and second uncle to go to Beijing to congratulate him. Only then did he reply to a letter. How can he not let his cousin be sad? My aunt died young, and my cousin was born weak. As blood relatives, we should care about them, but we have been more indifferent than outsiders for many years... And because of this time's entry into the official position, my grandfather blamed my cousin. Why don't you want to disobey my superiors many times? If it hadn't been for my cousin and uncle, the Wei family would have been afraid that it would have been destroyed early. My cousin and sister-in-law Jie Huai regards us as close relatives, but we repay grievances with virtue. Isn't it hurting the reputation of the family of poetry and books? What's more, the relatives should be harmonious, which is the foundation of human family.
After Wei Zhao said this, seeing that Mrs. Wei was still angry, she was also worried about making her mother angry, so she bit her lip: "My daughter can't speak quickly. If you want to punish her, she will be punished, and her daughter will go to the ancestral hall to kneel and wait for blame."
Mrs. Wei snorted coldly, and her expression eased a little. She was also a little helpless about this daughter. Although she was angry, she could not bear to punish her seriously.
But he heard a cold voice outside the brocade curtain: "It has become a habit for you to kneel in the ancestral hall, but where to kneel now? Do you want to go back to Qingzhou?"
Mrs. Wei got up quickly when she heard the sound and stared at Wei Zhao again, but Wei Yun was relieved.
As soon as the curtain was lifted, he was dressed in a robe and embroidered crane and wore a golden black veil. Wei Yuren walked in with a cold face. Mrs. Wei took off the crown for him, but she was not in a hurry to change her clothes. She sat on the kang. Although her face was gloomy, there was no solemnity in her eyes. She waved her hand heavily: "Get up, don't be angry here and go back to the room. Go and copy hundreds of family mottos for me."
Wei Yun hurried forward and helped up her sister. The two sisters saluted. As soon as they left the room, Wei Yun wiped his chest and said anxiously, "I'm scared to death. How dare you be so bold? Fortunately, Dad came back early, or you would have to punish you again."
Wei Zhao took his sister's arm and returned to the corners of his mouth with a smile: "If you are punished, you will be punished. Mother Dare not really hit me in the palm every time, which is not much heavier than scratching."
The head guard in the room complained, "My husband is too spoiled by A Zhao. Listen to what she said today... What's the punishment is? The maids in her room will follow A Zhao's words. I can't tell who wrote them."
"Even if A Zhao is a little sudden, her words are not unreasonable. In the future, there is no need to mention those words of her grandfather, and she dares not say anything to force her to be helpless." Wei Yuren then let his wife undress and sighed gently: "I'm far away. First, it's because my father's fire has not subsided, and I also want to explore his temperament. Today, when I heard about his daughter-in-law's attitude, it can be seen that they really don't care and want to get close to us."
Mrs. Wei subconsciously frowned: "Although the imperial concubine looks approachable, they come from noble backgrounds. We have always avoided the powerful. Why..."
"After all, Yuer is the only bloodline of a girl. In those years, because of my father's stubbornness, my second brother and I have nothing to do. Now that I have come to Kyoto, even if I am worried about my father's blame, it is inevitable to be polite. There is still a long time. I will slowly persuade my father. If there is an invitation from the king's mansion of Chu, we can't do it. No, you have a plan in mind. Just pay attention to the etiquette.
Mrs Wei was a little hesitant, but she still agreed.
There has always been some grudge in my heart. I think that the two families of Wei and Bi are both noble families and have their own backbone. The Chu royal palace is a hot powerful and powerful. If they come and go frequently, would not be against those nobles to make friends with the Wei Bi two clans? It will inevitably hurt a hundred years of reputation. At the beginning, my sister-in-law violated the family motto and married into the clan, and has been known and old friends. No wonder Weng's father is worried about it.
But the husband originally loved his sister-in-law, and because of her early death, he was very sad. Although he did not dare to correspond with the royal palace of Chu because of Weng's father, he had long been inclined to the nephew of the prince.
The sister-in-law was also the best girl in poetry and calligraphy. At that time, she fell in love with the king of Chu at first sight, regardless of the family's reputation, and rebelled against the high court.
When Mrs. Wei thought about this, she felt depressed again and unhappy.
