The Tang Dynasty’s Female Forensic Doctor - Chapter 301
[Chapter 306 Calm down]
Title:
Song Guogong has a tough temperament, and since he was banished from Chang’an, he has never stepped into Chang’an City again. This time, Xiao Song personally invited him over.
The weather was getting hot in mid-March, and Ran Yan began to sweat a little in her layered dress and vest.
Tang people rarely get married in summer, so it’s no wonder that the Xiao family is in such a hurry to arrange the wedding. If the spring is over, they have to wait until late autumn, when Xiao Song is already twenty-eight.
In ancient times, twenty-eight men had no wives and no children. It was not a tragedy, but a tragedy.
Xiao Song’s mansion was very close to Xiao Ruizhi’s mansion, and he arrived in just over a moment.
Xiao Song got out of the carriage and stretched out his hand to help Ran Yan get off the carriage. There was already a maid at the gate. When they saw the two, they saluted, “Jiulang, Jiu Madam.”
“No ceremony, where are Aye and his mother?” Xiao Song and Ran Yan were side by side, holding her hand, and went straight to the mansion.
The servants followed, leading a 17- or 18-year-old servant to step forward a little to guide the two of them, and replied softly, “Alang collapsed at five at 2 o’clock, and Mrs. and I have used it a long time ago. For breakfast, I went to the garden to enjoy the flowers for a while. Princess Dalang has eaten dinner not long ago, and Shiro and the county head have only arrived, and they are drinking tea with Alang and his wife in the hall. However, Mrs. Tai just got up for a while and was using meal.”
On the surface, she was just talking about what the masters in the manor had done, but it contained a lot of information.
For example, Song Guogong collapsed when he heard the sound of more drums. He probably remembered when he was in the court, and he also thought of all the troubles of being demoted, and he was in a bad mood.
But I went to enjoy the flowers again, and it didn’t seem to be particularly bad.
And the whole family didn’t eat together, which was very unusual for a well-behaved family. Xu who made Song Guogong unhappy.
And Mrs. Tai will definitely not stay in bed, but it is because she feels that Ran Yan is not in the mansion, so as not to make everyone feel that she is full and has nothing to do, just waiting for her to come, the old lady will deliberately slow down.
Song Guogong and the others would be dissatisfied when they waited too long for the bride, but waiting for the old lady was justified.
Ran Yan secretly analyzed these remarks, and her heart suddenly relaxed a lot. No matter how others don’t like her, it’s good. The backer of Mrs. Tai is better than anything else.
And Xiao Song didn’t lie to her, the mansion almost turned into a princess’ mansion, so the Xiao family didn’t decide to hold the marriage between Ran Yan and Xiao Song in the old mansion.
This means that in the future, Ran Yan does not need to get up every morning before dawn to greet her mother-in-law, and she does not need to spend all day with two distinguished sisters-in-law, which is undoubtedly very easy.
Thinking of this, Ran Yan felt that even if she was ruled by Dugu today, she would have nothing to complain about.
Ran Yan also never looked around, and followed the guidance of the servants to the door of the main hall.
The maid announced, “A Lang, Madam, Jiu Lang and Jiu Madam are here.”
Two maids came out to greet them and drew the curtains for Xiao Song and Ran Yan.
Ran Yan walked into the house half a step behind Xiao Song, raised her eyes slightly, and saw an old man in his 60s in the main seat, dressed in a dark purple round-neck uniform, vigorous, with gray beard, long eyebrows into his temples, and a straight nose. , with a stern expression.
And sitting next to him was a woman in cyan Zhai clothes, with delicate and decent makeup.
There are two middle-aged couples sitting on the left and right sides, the men are all in regular clothes, and the women are all in blue Zhai clothes.
Zhai refers to the pheasant, and Zhai clothing is the clothing of the women. The higher the level of the women, the more pheasant patterns on the clothes.
Zhai Yi is generally used when receiving a book, from a silkworm, a big court meeting, and getting married. At this time, they wear Zhai Yi not to show off their status to Ran Yan, but to pay attention to the bride.
It is not because Ran Yan’s background is not enough, and he is contemptuous.
The two walked to the main seat and kowtowed to their parents.
Just after two knocks, I heard the maid report that the old lady was coming.
Song Guogong and Dugu Clan received their salute steadily before standing up to greet the old lady.
The old lady was also wearing a cyan Zhai dress. She was the lady of the country. Obviously, the number of Zhais on the dress was more, and it looked very solemn and gorgeous.
“Mother.” Song Guogong and Dugu saluted.
Immediately after several grandchildren saluted their wives, they sat down.
Ran Yan took the time to glance at Xiao Song’s two brothers and sisters-in-law, Xiao Ruizhi was in his forties, Xiao Kaizhi was in his thirties, Xiao Ruizhi was more like Song Guogong, with a rigid and serious expression, while Xiao Kaizhi was a little bookish. , looks kinder.
On the other hand, their wives were the exact opposite. Princess Xiangcheng was gentle and dignified, while Princess Jiarong’s expression was more serious.
Ran Yan knelt down to serve tea to Song Guogong and Dugu Clan, but before that, Channiang opened the box containing Jinpa in front of Dugu Clan.
Although Mrs. Tai is an elder, Dugu is A Yan’s mother-in-law, so she should be the first to see it.
Dugu looked down, and was about to nod his head, but he paused, glanced again, and then nodded.
Madam Chan presented the box to Mrs.
In the end, Mrs. Tai was more calm, and her expression was not different at all. After looking at it, she said lightly, “Let’s serve tea, I’ve been a little tired recently, and I won’t stay for a long time.”
Let the elders and aunts in the family witness the chastity of the bride. This is not a shameful thing in the Tang Dynasty. Originally, this veil stained with virgin blood had to be shown to Princess Xiangcheng and the Princess of Jiarong, but it was given by the old lady. interrupted.
Originally, as long as the elders admit it, the sister-in-law is also joining in the fun, so naturally it is not easy to ask to see it.
The maid brought the tray to Ran Yan. She held up the tea cup, facing Song Guogong slightly, holding the tea cup in both hands and raising it above her head, “Aweng, please use tea.”
Although Song Guogong didn’t squint, he saw Ran Yan’s every move since entering the house. He was calm and dignified. Even though he looked beautiful, he didn’t have a hint of coquettishness. After taking the tea cup and taking a sip, he simply said a few words of teaching, put down the tea cup, and placed a palm-sized rosewood box on the tray.
Ran Yan offered tea to Dugu again, “A family, please use tea.”
Surprisingly, Dugu didn’t embarrass Ran Yan, nor did he give anything to him. He took the tea cup readily, sipped his mouth lightly, and said, “Since you marry into my Xiao family, you have the responsibility to ensure that you will not insult Xiao’s family. Family style, remember the ancestral teachings of the Xiao family, abide by the family rules of the Xiao family, and most importantly, serve your husband carefully and spread branches and leaves for the Xiao family.”
Serving a husband and spreading branches and leaves are two different things, and being put together in this order by the Dugu family has an ambiguous meaning.
Ran Yan felt embarrassed in her heart, but said calmly on her face, “Daughter-in-law remember the teachings of Ajia.”
“Well, you and I will return to Qizhou tomorrow, we don’t need to serve Weng Po, you must spend more time on your husband.” Dugu continued.
Ran Yan said respectfully, “Daughter-in-law must take Ajia’s words to heart.”
Only then did Dugu put down the tea cup, put a red bag in the tray, and said, “Go and serve tea to the old lady.”
In fact, the Dugu Clan prepared two gifts for the meeting today. If Ran Yan didn’t agree with her, she would just dismiss her, but to her surprise, this daughter-in-law was not the timid and timid Jiangnan woman in her impression. There is a kind of natural extravagance, she is a lady of no grade and not very good background, but she is not flustered in the face of full-fledged women.
Dugu wanted to come to appreciate the woman who was in danger, and when he saw Fang Jinpa, he felt that it was not easy for his son to suffer for so many years, so he never made things difficult.
After Ran Yan kowtowed to the old lady, Xiao Song led her to introduce her brothers and sisters one by one.
After receiving a round of salutes and greeting slightly, Dugu supported the old lady and led the three daughters-in-law down.
After leaving the door, he explained to Princess Xiangcheng and the head of Jiarong County, “If there is a concubine in your room, call them out and let them know the third lady, so as not to close the door and not even recognize the master.”
The third lady only refers to the ranking of Song Guogong’s family. Dugu said so, just focusing on the difference between the main room and the concubine room.
Princess Xiangcheng and the county magistrate of Jiarong responded with a little embarrassment.
Ran Yan knew what they were embarrassed about after thinking for a moment. She had heard Xiao Song say that the two brothers had only one wife, no side room and no concubine room.
I don’t know if Dugu asked knowingly, or if he really didn’t know.
“Xiangcheng, Jiarong, please accompany Yuezhi’s daughter-in-law to the mansion.” The old lady suddenly said.
The two should be, so they invited Ran Yan to go with them.
Ran Yan is definitely not a favorite. She has always been very accurate in seeing people. Although Princess Xiangcheng looks gentle and virtuous, she is a princess in the end, and she has innate dignity and pride in her bones. Although the status is not high, she is the direct daughter of Princess Pingyang. Generally, the daughters of princesses do not have titles, but Princess Pingyang made great contributions to the pacification of the Tang Dynasty. After her death, she was buried with military rituals. Gong, make his daughter the county head, with such a mother, who disrespects her three points?
Therefore, her arrogance is by no means less than that of Princess Xiangcheng.
And isn’t the age gap between them too big?
Status age is obviously a huge gap that cannot be bridged.
Getting along with these two sisters-in-law, Ran Yan felt that she was destined to not feel good, and she would rather go and talk with Mrs. Tai.
Over there, Mrs. Dugu accompanied Mrs. Tai to the backyard.

Mrs. Tai Jingjing never said a word. Dugu thought and thought in her heart. She felt that Mrs. Tai had left a few daughters-in-law. There must be something very important to say. Speaking of Jinpa, “A’s family also saw that Fang Jinpa, I’m afraid I have endured it for too long, some…”
She paused, and seeing that Mrs. Tai had no expression, she continued, “After a month, why don’t you add a few more concubines to her.”
After a long while, Mrs. Tai slowly said, “If Xiao Jiu wants to, naturally he will.”
Dugu was blocked for a while, and he felt that Mrs. Tai’s words made sense, and there was no way to refute it.
“The imperial decree of the canonization has not yet come down.” Mrs. Tai lightly mentioned.
Dugu is also very shrewd, and suddenly realized that the rank of the wife can be canonized after the marriage date. When the wife gets married, she can wear the flower hairpin Zhai clothes instead of the hairpin dress. The rank changes with the rank of the husband. However, the palace has suppressed Ran Yan’s official canonization and has not come down. Is there any indication?
“You mean that Yuezhi has the hope of promotion?” Dugu said softly.
Xiujii saw an academic post today, saying that Tang Dynasty wedding was not a traditional hairpin dress, but a flower hairpin dress, lying on the ground, I don’t know if it’s true or not.
As for Zhai Yi, it seems too grand to wear when meeting the bride, but everyone ignore it, it is their Xiao family’s rule.
There are many disputes about the historical content, not to mention a few pieces of clothes, so let’s take a look at it for the moment, and have a little understanding of the types of Chinese clothes that have appeared in our motherland, that’s all, and the children’s papers that have been studied in depth should not be on this. Pick faults.
In addition, this scroll has the content of family fights, everyone can rest assured.
No pop-ups, timely updates!
