Chapter 324: Burning Incense [Thank you all for your support! Bow again! ]
Wei Shuyi continued:
"I have saved some money in the past two years since I came to Bianjing. We can add more money to the incense offerings and ask the Taoist priests in the Taoist temple to pray for my father."
Wei Yuyi smiled and glanced at Minglan beside him, then turned around and said:
"Okay, let's do as my sister says."
"When I get home tomorrow, I'll cook my sister's favorite dish."
"Oh, by the way, sister, when your brother-in-law and I were buying seafood."
After listening to his sister, Wei Shuyi thought about it for a while and smiled gently:
"The store owner didn't lie. The Qiao family sent seafood to the Sheng family before."
Wei Yuyi nodded.
After talking for a long time, she felt a little thirsty and continued to hold her sister's hand with one hand, stroking the calluses on her fingertips;
With his other hand, he picked up the teacup Xiaodie offered him and took a sip. He then looked around his sister's room and said:
"Sister? Is the writing on the wall the handwriting of Master Sheng?"
Wei Shuyi nodded, glanced at Minglan and said:
"Yes, when I was discussing calligraphy with the master before, I asked the master for a few pieces of calligraphy."
Although Wei Yuyi was not as good at studying as her sister, she could still tell whether her handwriting was good or not. She said:
"When I was in Yangzhou, I interacted with the officials in the government office. They all said that Mr. Sheng's calligraphy was good. After seeing it today, I found that it is indeed well-deserved!"
"But, sister, why do you have these three gods and saints hanging in your room?"
Wei Shuyi smiled and said, "I learned this from the Madam."
Wei Yuyi nodded, put down the teacup in his hand, looked at his sister with satisfaction and said:
"Sister, now that you have Brother Maki, you have hope for the future. Is Brother Maki being raised by you?"
Wei Shuyi looked at his sister and said:
"Well, now we'll be in front of the old lady tomorrow. She's old and doesn't have the energy to take care of two children."
Wei Shuyi smiled and said:
"It's just that Maki-kun and the old lady get along very well. Whenever he goes to Shou'an Hall, he doesn't even look for me, he just wants the old lady to hug him."
"Why are you looking at me? He's so young, I can't teach him these things."
Wei Yuyi glanced at his nephew in the inner room and said, "I wonder how a boy like this will study when he grows up!"
Wei Shuyi's eyes were full of warmth: "I will teach him the same way my father taught me."
Wei Yuyi shook his head and said:
"Father and sister, I feel dizzy just looking at all the nonsense you taught me! It's better to learn something simple and clear, which is easier to learn."
After taking a look at Xiaodie next to him, Wei Yuyi said:
"By the way, sister, Xiaodie is not young anymore, what do you think about her lifelong event?"
"Are you looking for it at the Sheng family, or should I keep an eye out outside, sister?"
Wei Shuyi also glanced at Xiaodie and said:
"Xiaodie is no longer a slave, how can she be worthy of being a servant of the Sheng family!"
"Besides, Xiaodie's brother had close friends in the capital when he was alive. He was also a viscount. With the viscount's wife around, there will be people who will keep an eye on her."
Wei Yuyi nodded.
The two sisters talked for a while.
Because the sisters could meet again tomorrow and there were still things to put away at home, Wei Yuyi did not stay long.
After bidding farewell to Shou'an Hall and Weiruixuan, he left the Sheng family.
On the second day,
Yong Yi Hou Mansion,
In the mother's courtyard,
Mrs. Sun was sitting at the table preparing to eat breakfast, talking to her two daughters-in-law.
Hua Xiang bowed to the maid holding the curtain at the door, walked in, bowed to Sun again, and said:
"Madam, the young master said he won't eat at home today."
Madam Sun asked in confusion, "Why haven't you eaten at home for two days in a row?"
"The master said that if you go to Sheng's house one minute earlier for the college entrance examination this year, you can learn one minute more."
Hearing this, Madam Sun nodded and asked, "How did you get there today?"
"My dear madam, the young master is taking a car."
"it is good!"
At this time, Zai Zhang came in yawning, looked at Sun Shi with some doubt, and said, "Mother, why are you looking at me like that?"
"Dododo"
There was a faint sound of raindrops hitting the roof.
Xu Zaijing sat in a carriage covered with a thick blanket.
Listening to this hypnotic sound, the grass that was originally sitting beside me slowly slid onto the blanket.
He was originally supporting his chin with one hand, and then slowly changed to lying on the blanket.
Listening to Qingcao snoring like a kitten, Xu Zaijing took the cloak that Qingcao had placed aside and put it on her.
On the way, Qingyun, who was sitting in the front of the carriage, bought breakfast.
Arriving at Shengjia Academy,
When Xu Zaijing came in with Qingcao and lifted the curtain, he found Changbai was already sitting inside.
The beginning of the morning (7:00 a.m.)
Although it rained in the morning and it was sunny the next day,
The rain has stopped.
But the dark clouds this morning are still gathering in the sky.
The sky, which should have been bright at this time, was still a little dim.
Anzhai today,
Nagaki has been sent to the old lady.
Wei Shuyi, wearing his best clothes, walked out of the yard hand in hand with Minglan, who was also dressed in a glamorous manner.
Doorway,
Walking to the right is Shou'an Hall and Weiruixuan.
This is also the direction she goes most often.
But today, you must turn left and go to the second gate of the Sheng family.
The master and his servant walked along.
Wei Shuyi looked at the carriage with lanterns hanging on it parked at the second gate. This was the first time she had taken a carriage after living in Jiying Lane in Bianjing for so long.
It can also be said that this was her first time to leave the Sheng family's second gate.
Wei Shuyi and Minglan got on one carriage, while Xiaodie and Cui's mother got on the second.
Amid the rumbling of cars, two carriages drove out of the Sheng family through the side door.
In some black carriages,
Minglan looked at her mother who was sitting there with her head lowered and her bright black eyes rolled around. She lifted the curtain of the carriage and a cool and moist breeze blew in.
Wei Shuyi placed her hands on her knees and smoothed the non-existent wrinkles on her clothes. She looked up at the scenery outside the car window.
Because it was dark, the roadside shops still had lanterns lit, illuminating the rain-soaked stone road in front of their doors, casting some warm light.
It was brighter outside than in the carriage,
Looking at the shops, passers-by, vendors, peddlers, and livestock pulling goods outside,
Listening to the various sounds, Wei Shuyi's mouth corners slowly curled up.
"Ah"
Seeing the look in Wei Shuyi's eyes, Minglan changed her words:
"Little girl, the Imperial Street is in front. My brother and sister and I often walk here when we go out."
Wei Shuyi nodded. When crossing the Imperial Street, he vaguely saw a tall gate tower in the distance. It should be the Xuande Tower in the south of the imperial city.
Wei Shuyi looked at the scenery outside the car and the wide Imperial Street, and said, "Ming'er, what poem should be used to describe the scenery of this Imperial Street?"
Minglan glanced at it and said, "My cousin's words, 'The rain on the streets is as soft as butter'!"
Wei Shuyi smiled and nodded.
At this time, the sky was bright.
Wei Yuyi and his husband were waiting eagerly at the entrance of the alley.
Seeing the Sheng family's carriage approaching, she waved her handkerchief happily.
Leading the carriage to the gate of the courtyard, Mother Cui and Xiaodie got off the carriage first, and then walked to the side of the carriage where Wei Shuyi was sitting.
After Minglan got off the carriage, Wei Shuyi stepped forward and walked out.
Wei Yuyi and the man standing by the door smiled when they saw Wei Shuyi and her daughter.
Wei Yuyi smiled and held the man's arm, introducing him:
"Sister, this is your brother-in-law Jiang Shangfeng."
Before Wei Shuyi could speak, Minglan beside her had bright eyes and stood on tiptoe happily, "Uncle Jiang!"
"Hey! Hey!"
The honest Jiang Shangfeng looked at Minglan with fondness on his face and agreed with a smile from ear to ear.
Wei Shuyi looked at his sister's family with a smile on his face, then gestured to Xiaodie.
Xiaodie quickly put a purse into the surprised Jiang Shangfeng's hand. When he was about to refuse,
Wei Shuyi looked at him and said:
"Don't refuse. When you got married, I was far away in Fujian Road!" "You have given so much to the family over the years. As the eldest sister, I cannot fail to express my gratitude."
Jiang Shangfeng was a little anxious and said in a loud voice:
"Sister, over the years, you have sent money to Yuyi every month, and half of our family's assets were purchased with this money!"
"It was only when she came back from Yangzhou that she realized how hard your life was!"
"She and I also get a monthly stipend from the Bai Family Salt House! Yuyi and I can't take this money!"
Having said that, Jiang Shangfeng returned the purse to Xiaodie. Xiaodie looked at Wei Shuyi somewhat helplessly.
Wei Yuyi on the side also nodded.
Wei Shuyi looked at his sister and brother-in-law with some satisfaction, and said to Xiaodie: "Then put it away."
"Yes, little girl."
Mother Cui, who came with me, said:
"If you have anything to say, let's talk at home. Our carriage parked here is a bit inconvenient for the neighbors."
"Yes, yes, come in quickly!"
Wei Yuyi greeted with a smile.
Afterwards, Minglan followed Wei Shuyi curiously and walked into the small courtyard.
Mother Cui stayed at the back.
Looking at Jiang Shangfeng leading the Sheng family's coachman away, she nodded slightly.
Wei Shuyi walked into the yard.
Looking at the exquisite courtyard, he nodded secretly in his heart.
After walking a few steps, Wei Shuyi stopped.
At the entrance of the main house in the courtyard,
A woman with silver hair was leaning against the door frame, her ear tilted towards this side.
Seeing the old woman, Wei Shuyi quickened his pace and walked over.
When he got close to the old woman, Wei Shuyi looked at her greedily.
The old woman's hair was neatly combed, and her forehead and eyes were heavily wrinkled, but her clothes were also new.
But there is chaos in my eyes
Wei Shuyi looked at the old woman and called out softly, "Mom~"
The old woman was startled: "Yes, Sister Shu is here?"
"Mom, it's me!"
Hearing Wei Shuyi's words, the old woman reached out her hand to search forward with some excitement.
Wei Shuyi hurriedly held the old woman's hands with both.
"Shu'er, my Shu'er!"
The old woman let go of Wei Shuyi's hand, first touching his arm, then his shoulder, and finally his face.
Holding Wei Shuyi's face, the old woman said with tears in her eyes:
"Good! It's good!"
"Mother, don't cry." Minglan said in a low voice with concern.
Feeling the warmth on her fingertips, the old woman quickly withdrew her hand, wiped the tears from her face, and said:
"Shu'er, don't cry! It's mother's fault. Why should I cry on such a happy day!"
She said she would not cry, but the old woman could not stop her tears. She looked around in confusion and said:
"Was it Ming girl who spoke just now?"
Mother Cui, who was standing by and watching this scene, didn't know what she was thinking about, but her nose was filled with soreness and her eyes were hot.
Mother Cui has a good impression of Wei Shuyi. After all, she took care of Wei Shuyi for a long time after she gave birth.
Cui Ruan's mother saw some of her words and actions.
More importantly, the birth date of Wei Shuyi's child, Zheng'er, is the same as the old lady's deceased son, Zhen'er.
In addition, Brother Maki and the old lady are close, so Mother Cui is somewhat grateful to Wei Shuyi.
So, seeing Wei Shuyi's look,
Mother Cui naturally stepped forward and handed over her handkerchief. Wei Shuyi smiled at Mother Cui with tears in her eyes and took the handkerchief.
Wei Shuyi wiped her tears and lowered her head to Minglan and said, "Ming'er, why don't you call me grandma?"
Minglan looked at the old woman with silver hair and whispered, "Grandma!"
"Hey!"
The old woman happily agreed and took out a silver bracelet from her sleeve, saying:
"Ming girl, here is the gift your grandmother prepared for you. Take it."
Minglan glanced at A-niang and saw Wei Shuyi nod. She took it with her hand and bowed, saying, "Thank you, Grandmother!"
"Good boy!"
"Mom! Stop standing at the door with your sister, come in!"
"Yes, yes, yes! The old woman is confused, come in!"
Everyone went into the house.
Cui Ruan and her mother followed behind, and looking at the layout of the inner room with the best lighting, they knew that this was the house where the old man lived.
Knowing that Wei Yuyi and his wife were filial,
The look he gave Wei Yuyi became even kinder.
Looking at the mother and daughter in the room, I knew that there were some private things that needed to be said between the family members.
Mother Cui glanced at Xiaodie and said:
"Xiaodie, come, let's go make tea."
Xiaodie took Xiaoxiaotao's hand and said, "Yes."
When the others went out,
The mother of the Wei sisters smiled and said, "This nanny is really sensible.
Wei Shuyi said, "Mom, this is the old lady's personal nanny. This nanny took care of my daughter for quite a while after I gave birth."
Mother Wei nodded with satisfaction and said:
"If someone helps you like this, you should be grateful and thank them!
"My daughter knows."
"How's your child?"
"Good, he can eat and sleep, and he likes to be close to his grandmother."
"That's good!"
As she spoke, Mother Wei stretched out her hand and said, "Let me touch your hand."
Caressing her daughter's palm, Mother Wei said, "You did a lot of embroidery work in the Sheng family, right?"
Wei Yuyi looked at his sister, and Wei Shuyi also touched his mother's palm, knowing that he couldn't hide it, he smiled and said:
"Mother, my daughter's embroidery skills are acceptable. I sold myself to enter the Sheng Mansion, so how can I really think of myself as the head of the family?"
"Ugh!"
Mother Wei patted her daughter's hand and sighed with some disappointment.
"Then you must protect your eyes and don't work at night, understand?"
"Mother, I know."
Mother Wei calmed down, loosened her grip on her daughter's hand, and said:
"Okay! Go! Burn some incense for your father."
Wei Shuyi nodded, stood up and followed his sister, walked through a curtain and came to the back room of the house.
Wei Shuyi glanced at his sister and said, "Let me be alone with my father for a while."
Wei Yuyi nodded, gave the incense to his sister, and left the back room.
Knowing that Wei Shuyi was coming today, the candles in front of the memorial tablet were lit.
Light the incense stick with candlelight and insert it into the incense burner.
Looking at the curling cigarettes,
Wei Shuyi knelt on the cushion in front of him, bowed to his father's spirit tablet, and whispered:
"Dad, I'm doing well in the Sheng family. I have a daughter and a son two years ago. I think my sister and mother have told you about this!"
"The master and the mistress also love their daughter. The master would talk to his daughter about calligraphy, and the brushes, inkstones, and paper were all good things given by the mistress."
"Don't worry, my daughter will be fine."
