Seeing the flesh and blood, I secretly regretted that because Mr. Zhang was in the Zhang family, Shun Niang and his wife lived in the east wing of the backyard. There were three rooms in total, one in the north was a bedroom, a small hall in the middle, and one in the south where the wet nurse and Yuan Lang lived.
After inviting Dao Chi and Wang Qi into the house, Shun Niang called the nanny to bring Yuan Lang to see her uncle.
Wang Qi had seen it twice before, but this was the first time for Dao Chi to see it.
The child, who was one year and a few months old, was dressed in aqua blue silk clothes, carved with pink and jade. After being brought in by the nanny, his eyes were glued to Shun Niang and his mouth opened: "Mother, mother."
Shun Niang told the nurse: "Put it down quickly and let Yuan Lang kowtow to the second uncle. The seventh uncle also needs to be polite."
Although the nanny was in the house just now, she heard the noise outside and knew that someone was coming to the eldest grandma's family.
She immediately put Yuan Lang down, and Lamei had already prepared an embroidery mat and placed it on the ground.
Dao Chi is his uncle. When they meet each other for the first time, Yuan Lang, the nephew, naturally has to pay a big courtesy.
The child was just over one year old and could not perform any kind of rituals. He was supported by his wet nurse and knelt on the embroidered mat with his waist crooked.
Wang Qi could no longer bear it. When she saw Yuanlang saluting Dao Chi, she stepped forward and picked up Yuanlang, saying, "Yuanlang, do you still remember Uncle Seven? Come back and bring you a bird."
of?"
Yuan Lang was not afraid of birth, but how could such a tiny child remember things? He looked at Wang Qi with dark eyes, a bit of confusion on his fair and tender face.
Wang Qi's face showed a bit of pity, and she turned to Shun Niang and said: "Sister Shun Niang, my nephew has completely forgotten me?"
Shun Niang smiled and said, "Your nephew is still young. Not to mention that Qilang has only been here twice, but every time my uncle comes back, he has to ask him to recognize him again."
Zhang Jiaerlang entered a college in Beicheng last year and lived in the college. He had two days off in the middle of the month and at the end of the month.
Wang Qi hugged Yuan Lang for a while and watched Dao Chi looking at Yuan Lang intently. She realized that she was "taking over the host" and hurriedly sent Yuan Lang to Dao Chi's arms and said: "Here, give your great nephew a hug.
The little guy doesn’t look fat, but he is quite heavy, weighing more than 20 pounds.”
Dao Chi took it very unfamiliarly. Although he had seen some babies in his life, he didn't get close to them much. Even Hu Tou, who he watched grow up, was only five or six years old when he went up the mountain.
He took it with his arms stiffly, feeling a little more nervous. It was not that Yuan Lang felt heavy, but that it was soft and tender, and he was afraid that he could not hold it properly.
Yuan Lang accepted the hug obediently, with a little curiosity in his eyes, just like his uncle.
What is this child looking at?
The Taoist idiot saw his own little shadow in the dark eyes, and felt a little strange in his heart. This child's facial features were not like those of Shun Niang. Except for his nose and chin, which were similar to Zhang Qinghe's, his facial features were also not the same as Zhang Qinghe's.
, but it looks vaguely familiar.
Who does it look like?
The Taoist idiot couldn't help but take a second look, and he had a rough idea. He couldn't help but sigh secretly. Between Yuan Lang's eyebrows, he looked a bit like Uncle Liu. He remembered clearly that his grandmother felt sad after Uncle Liu came to his home as a guest years ago.
For several days.
The Taoist idiot couldn't understand the reason, but Grandma Yan whispered it, and he realized that the old man was thinking of his deceased eldest grandson. Uncle Xiao, the late Dalang, looked very much like Uncle Liu.
From Yuan Lang's point of view, he also looks like his uncle.
This nephew's "three rites of baptism", "full moon ceremony", "hundred-day ceremony" and "grabbing week ceremony" were not missed by Dao Chi, but this was the first time he met his nephew, so he still had to prepare the gifts.
He had already put a one-inch-long, half-inch-wide suet-fat jade safe sign in his purse, took it out, and placed it in Yuanlang's arms. He also grabbed two silver coins and rewarded the nanny.
Seeing that the jade pendant was delicate and smooth, Shun Niang said, "It's a pity to give this good thing to him. Erlang keeps it for himself."
The Taoist idiot said: "If it's not a good thing, I won't give it to my nephew."
The reunion of flesh and blood is a happy event. It can be seen from Yuanlang's appearance that his heart is heavy. After Wang Ning's family came to Beijing, the two families always had a close relationship. When seeing Yuanlang like this, would the old man be happy or sad?
No matter whether it is sad or happy, it is too cruel for an old man over 60 years of age to constantly mourn the passing of his relatives.
Children are the most sensitive. As Dao Chi pondered, Yuan Lang showed a bit of timidity on his face, twisted his body and stretched out his arms towards Shun Niang.
Shun Niang glanced at Dao Chi, the smile on her face faded, she got up and picked up the child, coaxed her a little and told the nanny to carry him down.
Seeing the child go out, Shun Niang frowned and said, "Mother mentioned her eldest brother, Uncle Xiao, before she died. Now that Erlang has met his uncle, have you guessed it?"
Dao Chi nodded and said, "Yuanlang looks good, but I wonder what will happen to my grandmother when she sees him?"
Wang Qi saw that the atmosphere was different, and the two sisters could not understand what they were saying, so they couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and said: "Why can't you guess? What do you mean? My nephew is so handsome, and my uncle and aunt can only love him when they see him.
What?"
Shun Niang's eyes turned red unknowingly, and she looked down

The voice said: "Qilang, Uncle Yuanlang Xiao."
Wang Qi smiled and said: "What's so strange about my nephew, Uncle Xiao? There are five out of ten nephews..." As he said that, he felt something was wrong, so he stopped talking and said sarcastically: "Does he look like a brother from a rich family? This... this...
...This is not a bad thing. When my uncle and aunt met Yuan Lang, they only felt more distressed..."
The child has grown up like this, and there is no point in worrying.
Shun Niang and Wang Ning's ancestors and grandchildren depended on each other, and they couldn't be more filial. How could Dao Chi bear to embarrass her, so he hurriedly said: "Brother Qi is right, my grandmother has become more and more fond of talking about ancient times in the past two years, and sometimes she thinks of my father and elder brother.
I felt sentimental for a while. When I entered Beijing and met Yuan Lang, I also put my thoughts about my brother on Yuan Lang, which is also a good thing for the old man."
"Is it a good thing?" Shun Niang hesitated.
The Taoist idiot said firmly: "Of course. When I am flirting with my grandson, my grandmother will focus on her younger generation and will not care about being sentimental."
Shun Niang's brows slightly relaxed and she said: "Although I look forward to my grandmother's coming to Beijing day and night, I always feel unsure when facing Yuan Lang... When my brother left, my grandmother was in agony. If she couldn't let go of me, I'd probably have to follow him.
I went... If it makes my grandmother sad because of Yuan Lang, it would be unfilial on my part."
The Taoist idiot said: "The deceased is gone. There is Yuan Lang and my sister's nephew. It's too late for grandma to be happy, so how can she have time to be sentimental?"
Although there was a four-year age difference between the two sisters, Shun Niang wanted to impress her younger brother. After listening to Dao Chi's words, all the worries in her heart disappeared. Expectation appeared on her face, and her younger brother happily asked her about her grandmother's visit to Beijing.
Wang Qi was beside him, holding the tea cup to his mouth and lowering his head to hide his abnormality.
Dao Chi's previous hesitation and Shun Niang's worry meant one thing. They were worried that Wang Ning would miss the deceased and be physically unable to bear it after meeting Uncle Xiao's great-grandson.
Although his maternal family is not from a fourth surname, it is also a scholarly family in Anlu City. However, his relationship with his maternal family is extremely weak. He never visits his uncle's house except when he must go during festivals.
The reason was that when he was a child, he went to his maternal home to pay his respects to his maternal grandfather. The two old men were not very affectionate, and his uncle and aunts looked strange. In addition, when he was at home, he had heard gossip from his servants about how he had defeated his parents.
He was suspicious, thinking that his mother-in-law disliked him and would never visit her again.
Later, his maternal grandparents passed away one after another and he grew older. His uncles once mentioned his mother-in-law's words, but he didn't take them to heart. He was too respectful to his uncles and aunts to be affectionate.
Both of his uncles were scholars, and every time they saw him they would ask about the four books. He was the most impatient of them, and of course he became more and more out of place. He avoided them whenever possible.
The Wang family was very powerful, and his two uncles were scholars, so they did not want to be easily attached to him, and they rarely visited his family.
The more we go back and forth, the more distant we become.
When he was sent to the palace to study with him, his uncle came to the clan house. He seemed to have some strange feelings about this matter, and he and his grandfather broke up on bad terms. It seemed that the meaning behind the words was that he hoped that Wang Qi would study and become an official, and felt that joining the palace would be a good idea.
Reading accompaniment is ruining my nephew's future.
Mrs. Wang did not hide the matter from her grandson and told Wang Qi about it.
Wang Qi is not a person who loves reading, nor does he have the idea of becoming an official. Of course he is not interested in his uncle's words. In his opinion, it would be too much for his uncle, whom he barely sees twice a year, to come and give him advice when he doesn't know what he likes.
A bit ridiculous.
Thinking about it now, every time when he went to greet his father and grandmother when he was a child, the two of them looked stiff, not because they were unhappy with him, but because they were trying to restrain their sadness. His uncle and aunt looked at him with complicated expressions.
Dislike and fear are also torn between "filial piety" and "kindness".
This is probably because he went less often and his uncles and aunts didn't talk much.
Every year for his birthday or Chinese New Year, his mother-in-law would bring them clothes and shoes, but in his heart he believed that they "disliked" him and never wore them...
At this time, Dao Chi and Shun Niang had already talked about how they had received the emperor's order and were going to study in the Imperial College on the first day of the next lunar month.
Although Shun Niang knew from her brother's letter home that he planned to study in Beijing, she was still overjoyed when she heard this.
She had already inquired that half of the imperial students in the Imperial College were selected as tributes from the local government, and half were Enyin, the sons of noble officials who entered the prison. The two groups did not get along. The younger brother was on the list of local tribute students, and he also received the order to be admitted to the prison. This is what happened
After entering the identity, I think even those noble sons would not dare to bully him.
After listening to Mr. Zhang's warning, Dao Chi certainly no longer wanted to ask his brother-in-law to go to Anlu to pick him up. Since the clan clan took the initiative to sell him this favor, he had better accept the clan clan's favor.
If the clan official avoids it, he will not be short of time to return the favor in the future.
Thinking that with that imperial edict, Wang Ning would be able to take the official post on his way to Beijing, so the Taoist idiot mentioned the matter of getting a reward.
Shun Niang was dumbfounded when she heard this, and said in surprise: "A gift? In addition to the gift of admission, is there also a gift? Erlang is only fourteen? Is the grace too heavy?"
The scholar-bureaucrats who took the imperial examinations and became official officials wanted to have a glorious family name, honor their ancestors, and have wives and children.
The younger brother is only fourteen years old, and it is hard to say that he has a wife and a cute son, but does this mean he is honoring his ancestors? Shun Niang was more surprised than happy, and was afraid that his younger brother would be "outstanding in the forest" and cause trouble.
The Taoist Chi said: "Sister, the emperor is only fifteen, and the oldest of the six companions is only eighteen years old. My brother is just a gift of the fifth rank. Chen Chi faithfully sealed the fifth rank, and the seventh brother directly granted the fourth rank.
official."
"Sealing the Fourth Grade?" Shun Niang took a breath.
Dao Chi nodded and said: "It's still Jinyiwei. From now on in Beijing, we won't walk sideways, but we don't have to worry about being bullied at will..."
Who is not afraid of Jin Yiwei? Thinking of this, Dao Chi's eyes were a little bright...
I had a cold for ten days and was coughing to death. Today I finally got better. I cried.
