At the same time, in a small courtyard where the families of King Yan's Zuowei soldiers lived together in Beiping City, a pair of women in their late forties held hands clasped and told each other with tears about their respective experiences after parting.
situation.
One of them said: "Since you can no longer do business in the capital and have come to Peiping, just settle down here. There are not many people around Peiping, and it is an important town in the north. There are many soldiers. Whether you are doing some sewing or mending,
You can do some other small business, or buy some fields in the countryside, it won't be a bad idea. As long as you are willing to do it, you won't be unable to survive."
Another person hurriedly said: "If you are willing to work hard, as long as it is a serious job, we can do it, and we still have some capital. But we have to trouble the eldest sister to help us find a house to rent first, so that we can have a place to settle down."
"In the future, when doing business, I have to point to my eldest sister, and my eldest brother-in-law will help me!"
The first person heard her words and felt relieved. Of course she welcomed her sister whom she had not seen for many years, but she was not willing to rely on her family as a family. Now she heard that they were willing to be self-reliant.
, of course he breathed a sigh of relief.
The person who spoke next was Chen Chen’s mother, Wei, who came all the way from the capital to Peiping. They traveled by water and finally arrived in Peiping today.
Then their relatives met each other. The eldest sister of the Wei family will be called Sister Wei from now on. The family has a small population, only two sons and one daughter. The eldest son is serving in the army, and the younger son and daughter came out to meet each other. The Wei family must not miss each other.
Give some greeting gifts.
There were more people in Chen Chen's family, including three sons, two daughters, and Tan Wei'er. Sister Wei saw that the others didn't care and just gave away some gadgets; but when she saw Tan Wei'er, she asked in surprise
: "Sister, is this your daughter too?"
Wei said: "This is a relative of his father's family. Both parents are dead, and he is the only one who has defected to us. His father has been raising this child because her parents are very good to him."
Sister Wei looked doubtful, and asked about her hometown, age, etc., and finally said: "You are not young this year, you are sixteen or seventeen years old. Why, you are not married yet?"
Mrs. Wei said: "Isn't this delayed by the death of the child's parents? You can't get married in a filial piety. The child's mother died early, and the father was careless. He died before he could get her engaged. This year he just gave birth to a filial piety.
, our family is in this situation, and we don’t bother to look for her husband’s family.” While she was talking, Tan Weier did not interrupt, and just stood there quietly.
Sister Wei said: "It's hard for a girl to live without her husband's family when she's so old. Fortunately, she's not yet seventeen, so she's not old yet. When you settle down, I'll treat you as my own child and find you a husband's family."
Tan Wei'er perfectly showed the shyness of a girl of this age, still remaining silent.
After a few more words, Sister Wei arranged for them to stay at her home first.
After settling down and waiting for Sister Wei to go out, Mrs. Wei walked to Tan Wei'er's bedroom and said to her: "Miss Tan, I'm so sorry. Who knew that my eldest sister would talk about you as soon as we met, so I can only show up now."
I made up some rhetoric."
Tan Wei'er said: "Auntie, please don't talk like that. I am no longer a minister in the palace. You are now my biological aunt. My parents are also deceased. Now it is all up to my aunt to make the decision."
When Mrs. Wei heard what she said, she felt relieved. Then she said, "What do you think about my eldest sister telling you about the marriage? I think you are not young now, you are almost nineteen. Although
Now it is said that he is less than seventeen, but he still needs to think about this matter."
Tan Wei'er stopped cleaning the room, sat on the edge of the Kang, and was silent in thought. She understood that she was among the people now, and the rules in the palace did not count. As a girl, she always had to get married, and she had already done so.
get ready.
But you have to think carefully about how to marry. Should you marry into an ordinary family, or marry into an official family and become a concubine?
Tan Wei'er thought for a while, but still didn't have a good idea. So she said, "What my aunt said is that I will always get married."
Mrs. Wei was overjoyed, but then she calmed down and said, "What kind of family does that girl want to marry? I think an honest businessman or a farmer's family is best, but I'm afraid that the girl won't be able to live such a hard life.
The girls in our family can only do lighter work, but when they get married, people don't know the girl's identity, so they may not treat her favorably. But in wealthy families, as you have seen the situation in our family now, the girl may not be able to be the head wife.
"
Tan Wei'er knew that she didn't want to carry such a slut with her all the time and wanted to get rid of it as soon as possible. Of course, she still had a conscience and knew to discuss it with herself. It seemed that she was still willing to pay for the dowry; but she also had to know the truth.
She heard Mrs. Wei's intention and wanted to marry her into a similar family, but she still had concerns, so she didn't give up.
But she had to know the difference. So Tan Wei'er said: "Although I was very meritorious and well-dressed and well-fed when I left the palace, when I first entered the palace, I did hard work under the hands of the old nanny, so I am not afraid of hard times."
Mrs. Wei was overjoyed again and said, "Then when we get settled, I will drag my eldest sister to find a husband for the girl. Don't worry, I will definitely find someone whose family is well off and whose family is well off." After that, she left.
Tan Wei'er sat on the edge of the kang for a while, as if he had made up his mind before he started working again.
Yunxi didn't know that his fourth uncle was going crazy because he wanted to be the emperor. If it weren't for Mrs. Xu taking care of him, he would have gone crazy.
He is very busy now. Although he has done all the preparatory work for the martial arts hall, he has not finished writing the teaching plan, and he has to be responsible for the compilation of teaching materials. He cannot entrust others to do these things, he can only do them himself.
But because Lian Zining was good at calligraphy and wrote quickly, he was hired by Yunxi to write. Yunxi's historical education was nothing special. He just chose according to his own interests, and when every dynasty was over, those hereditary nobles or bureaucrats
All the tragic experiences of the Ming Dynasty were picked out and brought together to let them know that if the Ming Dynasty was finished, their good life would be gone, so that they could understand that their interests were consistent with the interests of the Ming Dynasty. If the Ming Dynasty was finished, they would also
They can't live well, thus motivating them to be loyal and patriotic.
