Nowadays, it is not the era when the etiquette and religion of later generations were strict to the old-fashioned and harsh, and women, especially the wives of the family, have a relatively equal status with the head of the family.

There is no clear standard for the amount of makeup. But even if it is a folk cold door, once it is a family affair of a formal wedding, they often have to do their best to prepare a dowry for the woman who marries in their own family. And this dowry belongs completely to the woman herself, and can be passed on to her children, and neither the husband's family nor the mother's family can be encroached upon at will.

Therefore, in this era, the social status of women is based on independent economic ability. Such a family ethics concept is close to the era when Shen Zhezi came.

Later generations talked about the so-called jealous women of the previous generation, which was already to regard the womanization as an accessory and should not have an independent personality, but in fact, during the Wei and Jin dynasties, many later generations seemed to be jealous of women's behavior, not male and female affairs or pampering and arrogance, but defending their power as housewives. Especially the kind of behavior of hiding in other rooms, the housewife chasing the door is a more righteous move than catching the junior in later generations.

The economic base determines social status, which is common in many cases. The Shen family may not have the intention of using this to force the in-laws, but it really caused a big problem for the Huan family.

The Huan clan in Yongxian County is neither a giant nor a famous family, and it has already caused a lot of criticism to be able to marry the Shen family, and if it is forced to be suppressed in this matter, the Huan clan has become a laughing stock in the world.

During that time, Huan Yi really deeply felt many human difficulties that were not taught in the Xinshi Pavilion and were not covered by the scriptures. The little lady of the Shen family, he is sincerely favored, and to be able to become the general's sister-in-law, I believe that no one will refuse.

But even if the two are happy, the two families also approve of this marriage, and when the huge gap brought about by the world's standards is in front of them, it is really overwhelming.

Even if Huan Xuan returns to Luo in advance, he actually has no good way, and the solution is very simple, that is, the Huan family must prepare enough etiquette to match this makeup, at least there must be no big difference. In short, it's money.

Although Huan Yi is not Huan Xuan's own son, this marriage is an opportunity for the whole family, and naturally he must make a strong contribution and have money to contribute. However, although Huan Xuan was in a high position, he was rebuilt in Xiangyang in the early years, and then he was busy with affairs in Guanzhong, not to mention that he was not a greedy person at all, and even if he did, there was no opportunity for him to make a lot of money.

The matter stopped for more than half a month for no reason, and in the end, Huan Xuanshe went to the general to complain about this trouble. Shen Zhezi really couldn't cry or laugh when he learned about it, so he could only make another interrogation, so that the family members could greatly remove the makeup on their faces, and not give the Huan family too much embarrassment and pressure, because a little face problem ruined a good couple.

This is not to say that it is in a hurry to marry a daughter, the first Shen family is not short of money, and there is no need to use this to raise the momentum, if the second Huan family can really make a matching ceremony, he needs to stop the marriage, and first send someone to check the Huan family carefully.

But even so, the marriage also brought a lot of pressure to the Huan family, Huan Yijiu was in school, and his father Huan Jing served as a perennial position in the Xingtai Qing position, relying on Huan Xuan's funding, it can be regarded as continuing the marriage.

And then the wedding held in Jiangdong, Huan Yi really appreciated the profound heritage of the Shen family as the first gateway to Jiangdong.

His father-in-law, Shen Chong, never knew what it was, and all sides came to congratulate the guests, almost filling most of Wukang County, and the flowing water banquet was discharged dozens of miles away along Longxi. In the days before and after the wedding, Huan Yi saw not 10,000 faces, but 8,000, anyway, for a long time later, he was so blind that he couldn't even recognize people.

After living in Jiangdong for a while, Shen Chong, the father-in-law, saw that the most he said was: "Floating wealth and livelihood, with me, there is no trouble." Children only need to polish their talents, help your wife and brother share their hard work and seek merit, and rely on their talents to gain self-reliance, so as not to make my daughter shameful when she returns to the province. ”

But aside from these small things, Huan Yi is also happy from the bottom of her heart for this marriage, her wife is lovely, and her relatives and friends are envious. Because of this, he was able to talk freely with the general at the family banquet, which was a blessing that he could not have imagined in previous years.

In addition to being pleased that the little sister was fortunate to have a good couple, Shen Zhezi was also more pleased with one point, that is, the family members present were also very warm and kind to Huan Yi, and they were not contemptuous because of the strength of their family. Even if it's just pretending, it's a good thing to be able to realize these details and become accustomed to it over time.

Today's Shen family, the family style is indeed good, maybe the background is still shallow, but the family style is much more rigorous than when he was a local tyrant in Jiangdong in the early years.

Thinking of this, Shen Zhezi couldn't help but miss the deceased Shanyao, in addition to the warnings of him and his father at the helm and the self-discipline of the clansmen themselves, Shanyao's fierce law enforcement in the old years without fear of the powerful did help the Shen family to create a family style to a certain extent, and few children dared to be debaucherous and reckless. In public and private, Shen Zhezi admits that he has a lot of affection.

The family banquet did not last long, and after most of the hour, the clansmen got up and said goodbye with interest, and even Shen Jiu and Shen Yi returned to the Xinshi Pavilion to stay.

After the banquet was dispersed, Shen Zhezi returned to the inner house with Huan Yi, and at this time, the younger sister Shen Yan also went out to worship her brother accompanied by the female dependents.

Shen Zhezi saw that his little sister was still happy, and there were still many girls left in her solemnity, so she was also grateful in her heart, and raised her hand and said: "My little lady, after giving birth, my brother will lack care. Unconsciously, she was already slim and turned into a wife of others. Before and after, Brother has been derelict in his duties a lot, even if you have grievances, you should be, but don't forget that Wangshuo returned home, the evil brother may not be close enough, but there are still old fathers and mothers at home......"

"Brother......

Hearing her brother say this, Ah Yan's mother was also extremely emotional, and after a trembling sigh, she buried herself in her brother's arms and cried so much that the pear blossoms brought rain.

"What are you crying about, we brothers and sisters, there is a lot of time to wait. Although they are separated, they can also be visited. It's just that in the future, you will not have your parents, brothers and sisters-in-law to indulge your arrogance, and in addition to respecting your concubine and loving husband, if you have suffered other grievances, ha......"

As he spoke, he looked up at Huan Yi in the other seat, just a faint glance, and Huan Yi felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, sitting in a precarious position, and not squinting.

There were no other clansmen present, and there were only a few relatives of the Shen family in the small pavilion, and the children Ah Xiu, Pu Sheng, and the newly added young son, who was still in infancy, was called Ayu, including Shen Jin, Shen Jun, Shen Mu, Shen Yun and other children also went out to meet their uncles-in-law.

Seeing this scene, Shen Zhezi felt that the white horse had passed through the gap, and unconsciously, he came to this world not only to have a family, but even his cousins were already children. Over the years, he has been busy, and he has no time to take a break, and even his children have rarely been accompanied by them so far, which can be regarded as a gain and a loss, and it is difficult to fully balance public and private.

After the New Year, even Ah Xiu is ten years old, and Shen Pusheng is also in his early sixties. Shen Zhezi felt something in his heart, and couldn't help but look at his sons seriously.

A Xiu child, can no longer be called a child, the height is not low, between the eyebrows and eyes quite Xiao his father, bright eyes and bright teeth, the bridge of the nose is straight, the forehead is also smooth and beautiful, the moon-white silk robe is tied to the waist with a jade belt, although it has not been crowned, but it has long ceased to be a total horn dress, the stubbornness of the old years has rarely been seen, and there is an obvious pretending mature appearance between the demeanors.

Shen Zhezi is mostly free-range to his sons, and there is no shortage of complaints in private, saying that Ah Xiu, a child, has learned the vice of pretending somewhere, and he is no longer as delicate and lovely as when he was a child.

But after hearing his complaint, the princess just glanced at him, and snorted coldly that the husband was really busy with affairs, and he had been tired of taking care of himself for a long time. Even Gua'er, who has always been timid and gentle, whispered that Ah Xiu Xiaolang's state is indeed traceable.

Laughing at his son but being ridiculed by people close to him, that kind of depression is really not enough for outsiders, maybe people are really born to lack a little self-knowledge, if it weren't for Ah Xiu making a backdrop in the back, Shen Zhezi really didn't think that he was such a pretentious and annoying pretending to be when he was a child.

But after being reminded by his family, Shen Zhezi felt that Ah Xiu was already quite quiet at a young age, and his elegant posture had begun to emerge, and Zhuo Ran's jade quality grew up day by day, which was already not to be underestimated, and he really lived up to his father's high expectations for him.

After Shen Zhezi returned from Fangtou last year, he personally sent him to study in the museum to broaden his knowledge and hear, and he also learned to contact with the world early. No matter how carefully you supervise the teachings in the court, it is still not as good as your peers.

It's just that the eldest grandson of the mother Wei is still considered immature, and she strictly ordered that after the day's schoolwork is over, she must be taken back to the house at night, and she should not stay outside and be careless. Shen Zhezi was noncommittal about this, anyway, it was not he who was pulled out of bed before dawn every day and rushed to school through the entire Luoyang City. This kind of harm in the name of love made him a little gloating.

Shen Pusheng is a kid, he was born with a tiger's head, although he has not yet opened his eyes, but he can see that he has a different type of appearance from his father and brother, but he is more similar to his eldest father Shen Chong. When he was young, he was a round ball of meat, sandwiched under his armpits, and the ball was very handy, so he often encountered such poisonous hands.

But in recent years, Shen Zhezi has stopped doing this, one is that the kid is getting bigger and bigger, and he is heavy to hold, and the other is that Shen Zhezi is worried that he is playing too much, and this kid is really developing in the direction of fat and round.

As for the other boy, Shen Ayou, he was also born by the princess, but compared to the two brothers, he received less attention from his father.

First, there are more and more children, and there is no freshness like before, and secondly, the development of the current stage has also reached a critical period, especially in order to prepare for the future war in Hebei, which involves too much energy from Shen Zhezi, when he is really busy, it is rare to return home for ten days and half a month, and he often falls asleep after coming back.

So he didn't feel guilty about this, but he just told Shen Pusheng to take good care of this young brother, the son worked on behalf of the father, and raised the son to use it as soon as possible.

Because since he entered the cabinet, Shen Pusheng has been holding Shen Ayou's nurse with a bulging belly every inch of his arms, and even Shen Zhezi wanted to take Ayou easily, but Shen Pusheng frowned and waved his hand, impatiently refused: "Brother is already tired, Grandpa don't bother him!" ”

I miss it after not seeing it for a long time, and I feel itchy after seeing it. Being a parent is not easy!
