Whether this is an alternate history or another dimension, she came here once and left something behind, which is not bad; her vanity has been satisfied.
That year, Mu Yi'an stayed at home with her three children. Under Mu Yi'an's guidance, Shao Rong and Shao Ke performed ancestral worship, completing the annual ritual.
In modern times, probably not many people worship their ancestors anymore; they just visit the graves and burn some gold ingots and paper money.
But in this era, even beggars on the street will kowtow a few times in the direction they remember during the New Year.
The three men in Beijing had just finished paying respects to their ancestors and were about to have dinner.
"Sigh, I haven't spent the New Year with my mother for two years in a row."
Shao Yun missed his mother a little and felt somewhat down.
“From now on, you will be away from home more and more often. During the Spring Festival, it will mostly be just your mother and me.”
Jiang Shuyun also missed his wife a little. Sigh, having too many children is a burden!
"Aren't Father and Mother planning to come to the capital?"
Shao Ming was a little surprised. As the eldest son, he would likely settle down in the capital in the future. But judging from his parents' words, they didn't plan to live with him.
"No, the capital is too cold. Besides, I still have to teach at the academy."
Your mother and I will support whatever kind of life you want to live in the future, provided that you abide by the law.
Shao Ming, after this New Year's Eve dinner, you'll be eighteen years old, which is practically an adult.
After the imperial examinations, your marriage will be on the agenda.
Your mother and I certainly hope you can find someone you like, but that person must be capable of managing a household.
Your mother and I will not follow you. Your wife should be able to support the family and manage the household affairs.
I don't know if you will live a quiet and peaceful life like your mother and I.
However, remember, a legal wife is a legal wife; she is there to support you through thick and thin, and you must distinguish between primary and secondary responsibilities.
Mu Yi'an once said that when Shao Ming and his friends get married, it would be best if they could marry someone they liked.
However, he added a condition: the daughter-in-law they preferred must be able to manage the household and be a proper matriarch.
It can't be those pampered girls who are out of touch with reality; they won't be able to support a family in the future.
"I understand, Father. I'm not in a hurry. We'll talk about the imperial examinations later."
I also hope to live a peaceful and quiet life like you and Mom.
My mother always said that no woman truly wants her husband to have children with other women.
Shao Ming overheard his mother and Sister-in-law Fang talking about it by chance, and he remembered it vividly.
As the year draws to a close, Jiang Shuyun calculated that fourteen years have passed between them.
He'll be thirty-eight after the New Year.
He is the father of five children, the eldest of whom is eighteen years old, which is quite incredible.
Looking at the moon outside, Jiang Shuyun prayed in her heart that her parents in the other life would be healthy!
