Do you know: I’m Xu Jiazi

Chapter 324: Burning incense [Thank you for your support! Bow again! ]

Wei Shuyi continued:

"In the two years since I came to Bianjing, I have also saved some money for personal care. Then we will add more money for sesame oil and let the Taoist priests in the Taoist temple pray for my father."

Wei Yuyi glanced at Minglan beside him with a smile, turned around and said:

"Okay, just do as my sister says."

"When I go home tomorrow, I will cook my sister's favorite dish."

"By the way, sister, when your brother-in-law and I were buying aquatic products."

After listening to his sister's words, Wei Shuyi thought about it for a while and smiled gently:

"The store owner didn't lie. The Qiao family has delivered aquatic products 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 the other hand, he picked up the tea cup Xiaodie offered and took a sip. He then looked around his sister's room and said:

"Sister? Are the words on the wall the handwriting of Shanda Shanda?"

Wei Shu nodded, glanced at Minglan and said:

"Yes, when I was discussing calligraphy with my master before, I asked for a few calligraphy paintings."

Although Wei Yuyi is not as good at reading as her sister, she can still tell the quality of her handwriting. She said:

"When I was in Yangzhou, I dealt with the officials in the government office. They said that Shanda's handwriting was good. When I saw him today, he lived up to his reputation!"

"But, sister, why do you have these three gods and saints hanging in your house?"

Wei Shu smiled and said, "I learned this from the eldest lady."

Wei Yuyi nodded, put down the teacup in his hand, looked at his sister happily and said:

"Sister, now that you have Brother Mang, you have hope for life. Is Brother Mang raised in front of you?"

Wei Shuyi looked at his sister and said:

"Well, now I'll see the old lady tomorrow. The old lady is getting older and doesn't have enough energy to take care of the two children."

As he spoke, Wei Shu smiled and said:

"On the contrary, Brother Mang has hit it off with the old lady. As long as 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 this."

Wei Yuyi glanced at his nephew in the back room and said, "Such a brother, I wonder what it would be like to study when he grows up!"

Wei Shuyi's eyes were full of warmth: "I will teach him how my father taught me."

Wei Yuyi shook his head and said:

"What you taught me, father and sister, makes me dizzy just looking at it! It's easier to learn arithmetic if it's simple and clear."

Glancing at Xiaodie next to him, Wei Yuyi said:

"By the way, sister, Xiaodie is not young anymore. What do you think about her lifelong events?"

"Are you looking for her at the Sheng family, or should I keep an eye out outside, sister?"

Wei Shuyi also glanced at Xiaodie and said:

"Xiaodie is not a lowly person now, how can she be worthy of being a servant of the Sheng family!"

"Furthermore, Xiaodie's brother had a close friend in Beijing who was also a viscount. With the viscount's wife here, someone will take care of 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 going to Shouan Hall and saying goodbye to Wei Ruixuan, he left the Sheng family.

On the second day,

Yong Yihou Mansion,

In the mother's courtyard,

Mrs. Sun was sitting at the table preparing to have breakfast and talking to her two daughters-in-law.

Hua Xiang bowed to the female messenger holding the curtain at the door, then walked in, bowed to Mrs. Sun again, and said:

"Madam, the young master said he won't eat at home today."

Madam Sun asked in confusion: "Why didn't you eat at home for two days in a row?"

"Young master said that for this year's college examination, if you go to Sheng's house early, you can study a moment longer."

Hearing this, Mrs. Sun nodded: "How did you get there today?"

"Go back to Madam, the young master is going to take a car."

"good!"

At this time, Zai Zhangcai walked in with a yawn, glanced at Mrs. Sun with some doubts, and said, "Mother, why are you looking at me like this?"

"Duo Duo Duo"

There was a faint sound of raindrops falling on the roof of the car.

Xu Zaijing was sitting in the carriage, which was covered with thick blankets.

Listening to such a hypnotic voice, the green grass that was sitting nearby slowly slid onto the blanket.

He was originally supporting his chin with one hand, but slowly turned into lying on the blanket.

Listening to Qingcao purring like a kitten, Xu Zaijing took Qingcao's cloak aside and put it on her body.

On the way, Qingyun, who was sitting in front of the carriage, bought breakfast.

Come to Shengjia Academy,

When Xu Zaijing brought Qingcao and lifted the curtain and came in, he found that Changbai was already sitting inside.

The first quarter of the morning (seven o'clock in the morning)

Although it rained in the morning and was sunny the next day,

The rain has stopped,

But the dark clouds are still gathering in the sky this morning,

At this time, the sky, which should have been bright, was still a little dark.

Anzhai today,

Changzhu has been sent to the old lady,

Wei Shuyi, who was wearing his best clothes, led the equally glamorous Minglan out of the yard.

door,

Go right to Shouan Hall and Wei Ruixuan.

This is also the direction she travels the most.

But today, I really have to go left and turn to the second door of Sheng's house.

The three masters and servants walked,

Wei Shuyi looked at the carriage with lanterns parked at the second door. This was the first time she went out in a carriage after living in Jiying Lane in Bianjing for so long.

It can also be said that this is the first time she has left the second door of the Sheng family.

Wei Shu agreed to get on one carriage with Minglan, and Xiaodie and Cui’s mother got on the second carriage.

Amidst the rumble of cars, two carriages drove out of Sheng's house at the side door.

In some dark carriages,

Minglan looked at her mother-in-law who was sitting there with lowered eyebrows and eyes. She rolled her dark eyes and raised the car curtain, letting in some cool and moist wind.

Wei Shuyi put her hands on her knees, stroking the non-existent wrinkles on her clothes. She looked up at the scenery outside the car window.

Because it was dark, the shops along the road still lit lanterns, which cast some warm light on the rain-soaked stone pavement in front of their doors.

It's brighter outside than in the carriage,

Looking at the shops, passers-by, vendors, salesmen, and livestock pulling goods outside,

Listening to various sounds, the corners of Wei Shuyi's mouth slowly turned up.

"Ah"

Seeing Wei Shu's eyes looking over, Minglan changed her words:

"Mom, there is Royal Street in front of you. My brothers and sisters and I often walk here when we go out."

Wei Shu nodded. When crossing the Imperial Street, there was a vaguely tall gate tower in the distance, which should be the Xuande Tower in the south of the imperial city.

Wei Shu looked at the scenery outside the car and the wide imperial street, and said, "Ming'er, look, which poem should be used to describe the scenery of this imperial street?"

Minglan glanced at it and said, "My cousin said, 'The light rain on the street is as moist as butter'!"

Wei Shu smiled and nodded.

At this time, the sky was bright.

Wei Yuyi and his officials were waiting eagerly at the entrance of the alley.

Seeing the approaching Sheng family carriage, she happily waved her handkerchief.

After leading the carriage to the entrance of the small courtyard, Cui's mother and Xiaodie got off the carriage first, and then walked to the carriage where Wei Shuyi was sitting.

After Minglan got off the carriage, Wei Shuyi stooped and walked out.

Wei Yuyi and the man standing by the door smiled when they saw Wei Shuyi and her daughter.

Wei Yuyi smiled, held the man's forearm, and introduced:

"Sister, this is your brother-in-law Jiang Shangfeng."

Before Wei Shuyi said anything, Minglan beside her had bright eyes and stood on tiptoes happily and shouted: "Uncle Jiang!"

"Hey! Hey!"

The honest Jiang Shangfeng looked at Minglan with affection 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, and then gestured towards Xiaodie.

Xiaodie hurriedly put a purse into the hands of the somewhat surprised Jiang Shangfeng, and when she was about to refuse,

Wei Shu looked at him and said:

"Don't refuse. When you two get married, I will be far away on Fujian Road!"

"You have sacrificed so much for your 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 the family's property was purchased with this!"

"When she came back from Yangzhou, she realized how hard your life was!"

"She and I also have monthly meetings at Baijia Salt Village! Yuyi and I can't ask for this money!"

With that said, Jiang Shangfeng returned the purse to Xiaodie, and Xiaodie looked at Wei Shuyi at a loss.

Wei Yuyi on the side also nodded.

Wei Shu looked at his sister and brother-in-law with some relief, 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 to the family. Our carriage is parked here, which will cause some inconvenience to the neighbors."

"Yes, yes, come in quickly!"

Wei Yuyi greeted with a smile.

Then, 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 carriage driver away, she nodded slightly.

Wei Shu walked into the courtyard,

Looking at the exquisite little courtyard, I nodded secretly in my heart.

After walking a few steps, Wei Shuyi stopped.

The entrance to the main house of the courtyard,

A silver-haired woman was holding on to the doorframe, tilting her ears toward this side.

Seeing this old woman, Wei Shu walked over quickly.

When he came to the old woman, Wei Shu 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 shouted softly: "Mother~"

The old woman was stunned: "Yes, Sister Shu has arrived?"

"Mom, it's me!"

Hearing Wei Shuyi's words, the old woman got a little excited and reached forward to search.

Wei Shuyi quickly held the old woman's hand with both hands.

"Shu'er, my Shu'er!"

The old woman let go of Wei Shuyi's hand and touched her arm first, then her shoulder, and finally her face.

Holding Wei Shuyi's face, the old woman smiled and said with tears:

"Good! Great!"

"Auntie, don't cry." Minglan whispered sadly.

Feeling the warmth on her fingertips, the old woman quickly took back her hand, wiped the tears on 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 was not crying, but the tears in the old woman's eyes could not be stopped. She looked around in confusion and said:

"Is it Miss Ming who spoke just now?"

Mother Cui on the side looked at this scene and didn't know what she thought of. Her nose was sore and her eyes were hot.

Cui's mother has a good impression of Wei Shuyi. After all, she took care of Wei Shuyi for a long time after Wei Shuyi gave birth.

Cui Ruan and Cui's mother saw some words and deeds.

More importantly, Wei Shuyi gave birth to a child, Brother Zhen, who was born on the same day as the old lady's brother Zhen, who died young.

In addition, Brother Zhu and the old lady are kissing each other, so Cui's mother is somewhat grateful to Wei Shu.

So, seeing Wei Shu’s expression,

Mother Cui stepped forward naturally 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, lowered her head and said to Minglan: "Ming'er, why don't you call me grandma?"

Minglan looked at the old woman with silver hair and whispered: "Grandma!"

"Why!"

The old woman happily agreed, took out a silver bracelet from her sleeve and said:

"Girl Ming, here you go, take the gift that grandma has prepared for you."

Minglan glanced at her mother-in-law and saw Wei Shu nodding. After she reached out to take it, she bowed and said, "Thank you, grandma!"

"Good boy!"

"Mom! Stop standing at the door with your sister and go into the house!"

"Yes, yes! The old lady is confused, come in!"

Everyone entered the house,

Cui Ruan Cui's mother followed behind. Looking at the layout of the inner room with the best lighting, she knew that this was the house where the old man lived.

Knowing that Wei Yuyi and his wife are filial piety,

The eyes he looked at Wei Yuyi became more and more kind.

Looking at the mother and daughter in the room, I knew there were some private things to say between family members.

Mother Cui glanced at Xiaodie and said:

"Xiaodie, come on, let's make tea."

Xiaodie took Xiaoxiaotao's hand and responded: "Yes."

When others go out,

The mother of the Wei sisters smiled and said: "This nanny is really reasonable.

Wei Shu said, "Mom, this is the personal nanny of the old lady at home. This nanny took care of my daughter for a long time after I gave birth."

Mother Wei nodded happily and said:

"You have to be grateful to people for helping you like this! Thank them!

"My daughter knows."

"How is your child?"

"Okay, he can eat and sleep, and he likes to be close to his grandmother."

"That's good!"

After saying that, Mother Wei stretched out her hand and said, "Let me touch your hand."

Caressing her daughter's palm, Mother Wei said, "In the Sheng family, there is a lot of embroidery work, 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:

"Mom, my daughter's embroidery skills are fair enough. She sold herself to get into the Sheng Mansion. How can she really think that she is the master of the family?"

"well!"

Mother Wei patted her daughter's hand and sighed in frustration.

"Then you have to take care of your eyes and don't do any work at night, do you understand?"

"Mom, my daughter knows."

Mother Wei relaxed her mood, released her daughter's hand, and said:

"Okay! Go! Give your father some incense."

Wei Shu hummed, stood up and followed his sister through a curtain to the back of the house.

Wei Shu glanced at his sister and said, "Let me and father be alone for a while."

Wei Yuyi nodded, gave the incense stick to his sister, and then exited the back room.

Knowing that Wei Shu wanted to come today, the candles in front of the coffin were lit.

Light the incense stick with candle flame and insert it into the incense burner.

Looking at the curl of cigarettes,

Wei Shuyi knelt on the futon in front of him, bowed to his father's memorial tablet, and whispered:

"Dad, I am doing well in the Sheng family. I have a daughter and a son in the past two years. These sisters and mother have told you!"

"The master and the eldest lady also love their daughter. The master will accompany her to talk about calligraphy. Pens, inks, paper and inkstones are all good things given by the eldest lady."

"Don't worry, my daughter will be fine."
