Three days later, Wei Mansion added a new daughter to the family and washed it for three days.
Wei Jinyu held a sinecure position in the court, and was a member of the Duke of Jingguo and Princess Wei. He had good popularity among the court and the public. When he had a new daughter in his family, both nobles and nobles were very generous and came to congratulate them, even if they had no time to come.
Yes, I also asked my servants to send congratulatory gifts.
There are no elders in Wei Jinyu's room, and Ye Pengpeng is in confinement, so there is no female family member to entertain the guests. If Ye Zhenzhen was not pregnant, she could still intervene, but now she is unable to do anything.
Fortunately, Mrs. Jingguo invited a lady from the clan to help take care of her, so the trouble was saved.
Ye Zhenzhen came early and stayed in the room with her sister. Pengpeng seemed to be in good spirits, but she was a little worried about her bulging belly: "Sister, what should I do? Isn't it going to go away?
"
After all, she is a young daughter-in-law who pays great attention to her figure. These days, she is too embarrassed to see her husband because she is afraid that he will see her in such a mess.
Ye Zhenzhen smiled and said: "Don't worry, the ladies are all good at massaging. Don't be afraid of the pain. Just let the ladies massage you a few more times and play Wu Qin Xi a few times when you have time. Your stomach will be relieved soon."
Ye Pengpeng thought of her sister's time after pregnancy, and nodded convinced. Then, his eyes fell on her sister's belly curiously: "I heard that my sister is already one month pregnant, and she needs to rest peacefully in the first three months.
, that’s it for today, don’t come on the day when Little Fatty is full moon.”
Ye Zhenzhen nodded. After all, Cui Weizhen was very nervous, so he shouldn't jump to his mental limit repeatedly.
But... "Little Fatty? Is it the child's nickname?"
She heard her sister-in-law say this on the day the child was born, but she didn't pay attention. However, calling her sister this way was a bit subtle. This naming style was completely inconsistent with the style of a scribe like her sister-in-law.
Ye Pengpeng was also a bit speechless and said: "I heard from grandma that the child weighs seven pounds and is covered in milk fat. His father chose such a name, which is too hasty."
"It's okay, the name Xiaopang sounds like a blessing." Ye Zhenzhen said with a smile.
Ye Pengpeng also had a smile on his face: "The fourth aunt said so too."
The fourth aunt is Mrs. Jingguo.
The two sisters talked for a while, and the baby's cry came from the Nuan Pavilion. It was Xiaopang who woke up. Then, Cui Zhiduan's anxious voice came from outside: "Mom, aunt, my cousin is awake and crying.
So sad."
"It's okay, my brother is hungry."
Ye Zhenzhen smiled and shook her head, and said to Ye Pengpeng: "I heard that this kid is not my sister. I was disappointed at home for a long time. As a result, I couldn't walk when I saw my brother."
The sound of Cui Zhiduan coaxing his younger brother could be heard from outside, and Ye Pengpeng smiled even more happily.
Not long after, Wei Jinyu came over to see mother and son. Ye Zhenzhen didn't want to be a light bulb, so she took her son to the flower hall in the front yard. There were many guests sitting in the flower hall. The expressions of these people when they saw her were very interesting.
Some people had the same attitude as before and greeted her warmly when they saw her, such as Mrs. Qin Yue Niang;
Some people changed their previous enthusiasm and turned their heads away and ignored them;
But more importantly, he maintained his face and greeted her politely, but after all, he was not as cordial as before.
Just because of Cui Weizhen's reforms, which were widely criticized by the world, the attitude of the wives of various families today is the result of her many years of hard work.
It can be said to be unsatisfactory.
Ye Zhenzhen was already prepared for this, so she didn't think anything of it and calmly sat down next to Yue Niang.
Yue Niang was indignant and whispered to her in a low voice: "Zhen Niang, don't take it too seriously. They are just a group of people who are unjust and unjust. Today I can see them clearly."
"It's just a different stance, there's no need to force it."
The bustle of the world is all for profit; the hustle and bustle of the world is all for gain. Most people are just casual acquaintances, and there is no need to force each other to show their heart and soul.
But... "I remember that your family has a lot of fertile land. Don't you have any ideas about Wei Zhen's reform?"
Ye Zhenzhen only dared to ask so directly because of their close friendship with each other. If it were anyone else, it would definitely be embarrassing.
As expected, Yue Niang didn't feel offended and said without any hint of offence: "So what if there are thousands of hectares of fertile land? The land tax you handed over is just a scratch, and the family doesn't live on that little land tax. Why do you need to worry about it? There is no need to imitate those eyelids.
Ziqian's people are against the imperial court for a little tax."
She deliberately spoke loudly, and many people's faces changed slightly, and their expressions became a little ugly. A long-faced woman retorted: "Everything is inferior, but reading is the only one who is high. This is the honor given to scholars by our ancestors. Now it's better."
, What kind of random changes are there, and the scholars are treated like despicable businessmen to collect taxes? Who are they looking down on? I heard that many scholars have complained about the changes recently."
"I dare not say that. Cui Shilang had the merit of supervising the construction of the academy. If the scholars are resentful of him, wouldn't they be stabbed in the back?" Someone next to the woman continued in a strange tone.
"Haha, sensible people have clear grievances. Naturally, someone else will be stabbed in the spine."
…
The group of people made insinuations and made strange remarks. Cui Zhiduan followed his mother, confused, but he also understood that the adults were talking about his father, and looked a little uneasy.
Ye Zhenzhen patted his head: "Be good, go play with the other friends, and ignore what adults say."
Cui Zhiduan would never act coquettishly and make trouble in front of outsiders, and he went down very obediently.
When the child was not present, Ye Zhenzhen sneered and said: "Although I don't read much, I also know a truth, 'There is no fear of changes in the sky, no laws from ancestors, and no sympathy from people's words.' The family law of the ancestors on the left cannot be violated, and the one on the right cannot be violated.
Come on, who can live their lives according to the laws of their ancestors all day long? The sage also said, "There is a rule for governing a country, and benefiting the people is the basis." Why do you ignore it when the court implements reforms that benefit the country and the people?
Is it because some people have clear grudges, or are they forgetful of justice? As for those scholars, I am not afraid of offending them. The saints taught them to live in the world for the sake of the country, the people and the world, not for money, power and reputation.
How many people can remember their original intention and be as selfless as my husband? Just them...heh, they are not worthy of commenting on my husband!"
Everyone did not expect Mrs. Ning Guo to be so unscrupulous. They were a little stunned for a moment. There was silence everywhere. They didn't know whether it was because they were shocked or because they were too ashamed to speak.
Of course, most people were still dissatisfied, but they just didn't dare to talk back to her.
Yue Niang secretly gave a thumbs up: "Zhen Niang, you are absolutely right! You are such a stupid person, you are not worthy of us pointing fingers."
Ye Zhenzhen smiled, as calmly as a sword being sheathed, and felt very comfortable. It had been a long time since she had criticized someone. This feeling was really nostalgic.
