The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty

The titles of foreign wives in the early Northern Song Dynasty basically followed the Tang Dynasty, and they were divided into nine classes. The eldest princess, the eldest princess, the princess, the princess and the county master were given to the royal family and the clan. , The county monarch is for the family members of officials, some women who have been praised in society, and so on.

This time, after some preparations, Renzong decreed that Zheng Ping should be named Mrs. Tai of Hanoi County, and rewarded her for teaching her children well.There is also Shuangyi, who was also named the Lord of Qinghe County and married to Shen Kuo.

Generally speaking, the female relatives of officials are the mothers and wives of the officials, and have nothing to do with the younger sisters. Moreover, the general titles correspond to the official positions of the husbands and will not exceed them.

But the two situations at Yunyan's home were different. As for Zheng Ping, her son hadn't been an official at all, and only vaguely boasted about it.As for Shuangyi, just compare her fiancé's grades.

Zheng Ping also said that since she is an example, the title of Yun Yanhui's wife can be imagined in the future, she is Mrs. Jun Tai, and Yun Yanhui's wife is Mrs. Jun.This is actually the same level, just to distinguish between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

The Ministry of Officials' Department of Seals drafted the titles, and then the official court issued the seals and orders. Yun Yan officially had two more foreign wives when she returned home.Of course, after Shuangyi gets married, there will only be one left.

The Zheng family only invited Zheng Ping back for dinner during the Chinese New Year, and now they felt honored, so they invited Zheng Ping back to celebrate.

When Zheng Ping eloped, who would have thought of this day.Not to mention that her ex-husband was a Hmong, and later he died without seeing his body. She still refused to go back.

Even later, the remarried family was just a commoner.

Fortunately, he gave birth to a good son, and before he could be crowned, he was already a tyrant in Tokyo...

"Go back to Zheng's house for dinner? It's not Chinese New Year, so there's no need to go..." Yun Yan muttered back.

"Shuangyi is about to get married, so it's better to go back." Zheng Ping thought about it carefully, "You have to think about Shuangyi, after all, her surname is Zheng."

It would be fine if Shuangyi married an ordinary person, but Shen Kuo is also from a family of officials and eunuchs, and she is an official in the court. Shuangyi will always have to deal with her in-laws and Shen Kuo's subordinates and female relatives. She has to enter the social circle of women in Bianjing, Just relying on being able to fight is not enough.

Yunyan thought about it, there are so many women in the Zheng family, and there are various in-laws, reconciliation with the Zheng family will indeed be beneficial to Shuangyi's future communication.He couldn't help thinking, if Zheng Ping let go of his mouth at the beginning, maybe it was because he thought about Shuangyi.

"Well, I'll go back with you." Yun Yan replied.

Previously, Zheng Ping was the only one who went back during the Chinese New Year, and many members of the Zheng family asked about it.

Zheng Ping smiled, "Now, aren't you afraid that they will introduce girls to you?"

Yun Yan is not narcissistic, but he thinks that the Zheng family may still want to get closer to him...

Yunyan replied with a sneer and said, "No matter how afraid you are, you have to go. It's about our future happiness for Shuangyi."

Shuangyi sat at the side, listlessly said: "Why is it so troublesome..."

"Life is like this, how can everything go well? Even if I help you find a husband who has a horse and a house, and his parents are dead, it doesn't mean that he doesn't have to deal with other women." Yun Yan replied.

This Shen Kuo is enough, his father is an official in another place, and his hometown is far away, so we may not see him once a year.After getting married, the young couple can live in a world of two for a long time.

Zheng Ping heard him say that he had horses and houses, and his parents died, so she slapped him, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Both parents died, what kind of unconditional condition is this, brother Yan said it seems to be very popular.

Of course being popular is not popular in this era. Yun Yan sighed back: "It's not that I'm threatening you. After you become a married woman, your behavior will be subject to a lot of restrictions. Otherwise, it will be very ugly if you are ordered. So, you go out in the future Or better dress up in disguise..."

Shuang Yi seemed to understand in an instant why Yun Yan had been preventing her from getting her title banned, and she couldn't help thinking: "It's so troublesome, so will He Li be affected?"

Zheng Ping: "??"

Shuangyi: "Brother Yan told me, don't be in a hurry to have children after getting married, marriage is not a one-time decision for a lifetime..."

Before she finished speaking, Zheng Ping picked up the little broom for sweeping the bed and patted Yun Yan back on her body, driving Yun Yan back to run around the room, "You tell your sister to teach you this!"

Yun Yanhui didn't dare to resist, so she could only run around, "Shen Cunzhong has no objection, what are you upset about! His character is too noble, and he is not his own family!"

Zheng Ping saw through it at a glance, "Shen Cunzhong has no objection, is it because you haven't told him?"

To let Shen Kuo know that Yun Yan taught that his sister would turn back when she married, and if she failed once, it would be a big deal to divorce and remarry. Shen Kuo couldn't be so angry?

Yun Yan replied with a dry smile, and simply opened the door and hid.

As soon as I went out, I just saw Shen Kuo appearing at the gate of the courtyard with a box of snacks, "Brother Yan, what's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing," Yun Yan replied nonchalantly, "Why are you here again? Don't keep coming. Shuangyi is rushing to work to embroider water ducks for you. Poor thing, you keep disturbing her mind."

The wedding date is at the end of the year, and Shuang Yi is currently embroidering a dowry for herself. The more she embroiders, the more desperate she becomes. The daughters of the Zheng family.

"I didn't see her either, I just gave something away..." Shen Kuo said shyly, "I tasted this today and it was quite delicious, so I bought a box."

"Tsk tsk..." Yun Yan looked back and saw that Shen Kuo had successfully turned into a love brain.

……

A few days later, Yun Yan went to Zheng's house with Zheng Ping and Shuang Yi when she returned home, and the Zheng family was getting ready for the New Year.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of staying here for a while, Yun Yan went back to chat with Zheng Yun.He felt that what Zheng Ping said was right, so he decided to do it more thoroughly, and asked Zheng Yun to agree to ask Shuang Yi to marry in the Zheng family, officially marrying as a daughter of the Zheng family.

Although it was said that Yun Yanhui didn't have a good impression of the Zheng family, the two sides wouldn't die forever. This time there was a need, Yun Yanhui was completely in the mindset of making a deal.

After all, apart from Zheng Ling, he has no relationship with the Zheng family.

Zheng Yan felt very sorry to see that he made a clear attitude, but judging from their previous behavior, this is already very good, the food is always eaten one bite at a time.

Therefore, Zheng Yun also agreed, and even wanted to help with the marriage.

No matter how capable Yun Yanhui was, she couldn't take over this kind of thing, but the Zheng family was very familiar with doing this kind of thing, so they must have done it with dignity, so they accepted it.

There is also a small additional condition, that is, Shuangyi's embroidery skills are very poor, and the female family members of the Zheng family have to be troubled to contribute to the collective strength.

Zheng Yun wanted to say something, but hesitantly looked at Yun Yanhui several times.

Yun Yan took a sip of tea back: "If you have anything to say, just say it, uncle."

——Shuangyi is about to marry as a daughter of the Zheng family, can he still call her Zhiyuan?

Zheng Yun said quietly: "When Ah Ping was in her boudoir, she was one of the best in sewing among the sisters in the whole family. Shuangyi was taught by her since she was a child. How can female celebrities be so poor?"

Zheng Yan once asked Zheng Ling in private to care about Yun Yanhui's situation. He only knew that Yun Yanhui's needlework was very good, so he took it for granted and thought that Shuangyi was better.

Who knows, after seeing it, I realize that Shuangyi's needlework is really outrageous.It can be said that between Shuang Yi and Zheng Ping, there is a hundred Yun Yan Hui.

Yun Yan replied: "Because our family was poor when we were young, we always used our daughter as a son and our son as an animal."

Zheng Yun: "..."

After saying this, Zheng Yun immediately fell silent, it was so embarrassing!

In fact, it was entirely because Shuangyi didn't have this talent, and Yunyan came back to hold her respect, and secondly, she said so, and she was able to shut Zheng Rong's mouth immediately.

After a long while, Zheng Yun said in a dazed tone, "At that time, I will choose two maids who are good at sewing and we will marry them."

Yun Yan nodded indifferently.

At this time, Zheng Ling ran in, "Brother Yan, Ah Weng, Brother Yan, will you sleep in my yard at night?"

Zheng Yan slapped the table with his palm and said angrily, "What are you calling?"

Zheng Ling was frightened and almost kneeled down, "I, I, I..."

Zheng Yan snorted, "Can you call Yan Geer? Seniors and young are in order, you have to call me cousin."

Zheng Ling called Yun Yan back annoyedly. He had called Yun Yan back at home before, but Yun Yan didn't recognize him when he went back there. Later, he gradually relaxed, and it didn't matter that he called Brother Yan.

Who knows, now it's suddenly strict again.

"Uncle, let's go down to play, let's talk next time." Yun Yanhui simply took this opportunity to go out.

"Okay." Zheng Yan's tone softened a bit, "If you have nothing to do, bring your other nephews with you. I always ask them to grow up with you. It's just that there is no chance, and you finally came back."

"En." Yunyan responded, and went out with Zheng Ling.

Zheng Ling said in surprise: "This... Brother Yan, your name is Uncle Aweng, do you recognize me?"

"Call me uncle!" Yun Yan rapped him on the head, "You child, why are you so rude?"

Zheng Ling: "..."

Zheng Ling was very depressed, and Yun Yan replied, "Hey, do I have many cousins ​​and nephews? Take me to meet them."

"Oh..." Because of the big wedding, many relatives, married women, etc., came to the house, and there were really many younger generations.Not only cousins ​​and nephews, but even nephews and grandchildren.

Zheng Ping eloped, and Yunda had long since disappeared. In all these years, Yunyanhui really has never been with so many relatives—at least a row of nephews and nephews!

After recognizing each of them one by one, Yun Yan said to Zheng Ling, "That's right, I think all of them are better than you."

Zheng Ling was angry, "I'm ignoring you!"

Yun Yan replied: "Oh, why are you like... like Zhao Yunchu."

Zheng Ling: "...Did you originally want to say that you look like a little lady?"

Yun Yan replied vaguely: "Not far away, not far away."

Zheng Ling: "..."

"Speaking of which, what's the matter with you and Zhao Yunchu?" Zheng Ling finally got sharp, after all, he is a person who knows the inside story better, so he won't be fooled by any brotherly affection, "You still report to him Birthday? You are not normal! Why don't you publish in the newspaper to recruit a son-in-law for your sister?"

"..." Yun Yan looked back at the sky, "Don't mention it, "Tokyo Daily" is also preparing to accept marriage advertisements..."

Zheng Ling held on tightly, "Don't change the subject."

Yun Yan could only touch her face and said, "I really didn't want to pick on him, I just took this opportunity to give an example to make a fortune!"
