3. Chapter 3 Choosing a Name
There is no doubt that this is the Jiang family.
After all, she is the only one with a baby in the house, but why is she here again, with a little doll?
Shang'an Hall has always been a quiet place, Rong Guogong and the old lady are also quiet people, they can't hear the noise, the doll's cry is intermittent, not only noisy, but also annoying.
Rongguo Gong Su Li immediately frowned, although the old lady Wang was not so obvious, but her mouth was also lightly pursed, obviously she didn't like it.
At this time, an old woman who had been standing behind the old lady and was silent, stepped forward and said softly, "Old lady?" Although it was only a call, it obviously meant to ask if she wanted to stop the Jiang clan back.
This old woman is Mama Duan, since the Wang family has not been out of the pavilion has been waiting by the side, loyal, on weekdays someone comes to ask for peace, she stands quietly behind the old lady not far away, quietly watching, and she has a low sense of zĂ i, a little careless, and does not know that there is a person standing behind.
And after serving the old lady for so many years, Mama Duan naturally knows everything about her small actions that she likes and dislikes.
"Pursing her lips" This is annoying in her heart, so she stepped forward to ask, but seeing that Second Master Su was still in the house, she didn't say it clearly.
This master-servant friendship has been around for decades, and of course the Wang family understands what she means.
Wang hugged Su Xun in his arms, looked at her with a curious look, but shook his head gently, motioned to Mama Duan to step back, gently touched Su Xun's head, and said, "It's just right to come, you can take a look at the little doll, isn't it?" â
Although Su Xun is a child on the outside, she is not, and she has lived to the age of sixteen, so she will naturally observe her words and feelings, knowing that although the old lady does not like it in her heart, but for her, she is tolerating, so of course she can't brush this heart, nodded, and rubbed a few more times affectionately into the old lady's arms.
Rong Guogong saw his good granddaughter nodding, took a sip of the teacup, and said, "Then meet the little doll." â
And when the others saw that Rong Guogong and the old lady didn't care anymore, they naturally didn't want to say anything, but they all secretly wondered in their hearts: what is a bad background, how can he be so unruly.
Su Enhua frowned, wondering if the Jiang family was not good to stay in the house, what was he doing here.
Jiang Shi today wore a gold butterfly wearing a flower cloud satin skirt, with a startling bun on his head, decorated with gold silk eight treasures and beaded hairpins, and inserted a gem-inlaid butterfly play double flower step shake, wearing gold silk inlaid gemstone leaf-shaped earrings on his ears.
Liuzhou is located in the south and is a land of water and rice, and this Jiang family is a typical Jiangnan woman from the perspective of appearance. She is in her twenties this year, her face is clear and beautiful, her eyes are flowing, and she is pitiful.
Of course, no one cares what she wears now, just watch her step into the house slowly but timidly, followed by two maids, a grandmother holding a big red brocade swaddling cloth.
Needless to say, the baby was the little doll, and at this moment she was shaken and comforted by her mother, and her crying became smaller.
"Dad, mother. Jiang bowed weakly, raised his eyes and glanced at Su Enhua softly.
This glance made Su Enhua extremely useful, and he squinted at the Jiang family at the moment, and only remembered the ** moment last night, Furong warm the tent. Don't look at Jiang's weak appearance, but his kung fu is not weak.
Looking at that look, Jiang Shi sighed in her heart, narrowed her eyes, and didn't seem to notice that the atmosphere in the room was dull and timid, but she didn't hurry to call the other people in the room, but when her eyes fell on Su Xun, who was nesting in the arms of the old lady, she was stunned, and her hands were secretly clenched.
Jiang knew that it was the little ancestor of Rong Guogong and the old lady in this mansion, and it was said that when she was given a hundred days, more than 100 tables were set up, and all the dignitaries and nobles in Kyoto were invited, and the emperors and grandchildren were nobles, which is like now giving her son a banquet, but there are not even ten tables.
She thinks that her appearance is not inferior to Dow. Tao is as beautiful as a peony, she is as beautiful as a peony, and she only complains that she is not as good as others in this background. Although she is the daughter of the Marquis of Liyang, Liuzhou, since her father died and her brother took over, the Marquis of Liyang Mansion has long since decayed to the point that only an empty shell remains, and she may not even be able to compare with ordinary rich and noble people, after all, when she met Second Master Su, there were not many things left in that mansion.
And she finally got out of the sea of suffering, and she didn't want to have anything to do with that kind of mother's family again, so she didn't write a special letter back to Liuzhou for this banquet, so there were fewer people attending the banquet.
But fortunately, I didn't write back, otherwise I would have lost face this time......
Su Xun couldn't notice this jealous look, but her face did not change, and she called softly: "Second aunt." â
Jiang collected his thoughts, smiled softly, and responded.
Su Xun also smiled sweetly, she glanced at the red swaddling clothes, and said coquettishly: "Grandmother, I want to see the little doll." â
When Wang heard this, he immediately beckoned, and the mother holding the little doll naturally did not dare to delay and hurriedly walked over.
This doll is more than three months old, wrapped in red swaddling clothes, and wearing a soft tobacco silk coat, looking fleshy, fair skin, and soft black hair on the head, but at this moment, he closed his eyes tightly, his small mouth opened and howled from time to time, his face was flushed, and his facial features were crowded together, and he couldn't see his original face.
However, it is strange to say, as soon as Mama brought him in front of Su Xun, the eyes suddenly opened, and the black lost eyes looked at her in a daze, and her mouth slowly closed, and she waved her little hand, "Ahh
"Grandfather and grandmother, look, the little doll is smiling at me. â
Su Xun was stunned for a moment, smiled, stretched out his little fleshy hand to poke the little doll's face, the little doll was not to be outdone, the soft hand grabbed Su Xun's tightly, and then the smile on his face became more obvious, and when Su Xun was about to withdraw his hand, the little face was immediately unhappy.
Su Xun thought it was funny, and broke free with a smile and let him catch it, teasing him several times in a row.
Su Li and Wang on the side saw that Su Xun was having fun, and they were also happy in their hearts, and when they glanced at the little doll, Su Li rarely said without disgust: "It's a blessed one." "I can make my granddaughter so happy.
Hearing Rong Guogong say this, the atmosphere in this room eased a little, and Su Enhua breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said in his heart: This son is a good-eyed person. But at this moment, I heard Jiang's soft voice again: "Since Dad thinks this child is a blessing, why don't you name him?"
As soon as the words came out, the room was quiet, how could any junior ask the elders to name their children?
Su Enhua's face also changed, and he quickly glared at Jiang and signaled her to shut up. If you anger your father, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Jiang pretended to be timid, and slowly lowered his head and remained silent, but his eyes looked at the child unwillingly.
That's right, let Rong Guogong name her child, that's what she came for.
Jiang is a man of great eloquence. She already knew that these two elders looked down on her and thought she was from a bad background. But the child she gave birth to is also their grandson, but this morning, when she asked the second elder to say goodbye, she learned that this Rongguo Gong may not even attend the 100-day banquet, and she didn't take her grandson to heart at all.
At first, Jiang was ready to swallow his anger. But not long ago, someone in Liuzhou came to take refuge, and when she heard that her brother was addicted to gambling and was going to sell his wife and daughter, her mind suddenly became a little sober.
Although she has become the main house, Su Enhua knows better than anyone what virtue she has, and it is only a matter of time before she is abandoned, so the only one she can rely on at the moment is her son.
It's time to fight for something for yourself and for your son.
First of all, it's the name.
And the Jiang family didn't think there was anything wrong with her request, you know, in this mansion, except for the two grandsons, the names of the grandsons were all taken by the Duke of Rongguo, of course, there was an exception, that was this granddaughter - Su Xun.
I heard that her life is peculiar, afraid of the weight of the name, at that time it was invited to the Anyuan Temple of the Taoist monks, Master Pushan to pick auspicious when divination and hexagrams, enough to count an hour, before the launch of a "find" word.
She also can't figure it out, big families love boys, but the Rongguo Mansion spoils a girl, no matter how much she spoils, this girl still has to get married, and she is a money-loser!
Jiang lowered his eyes, motionless, but he didn't give up in his heart, still waiting for Rong Guo to speak publicly.
Su Li was expressionless, but he was not angry, he didn't look at the Jiang family, nor did he look around at the looks of everyone in the house, just watched his good granddaughter Su Xun still teasing the doll in a deaf ear, and plucked the tea leaves with the lid of the cup, as if jokingly: "Yuanyuan, you can take the name of this doll." â
There is no inquiry, and those who are familiar with Rong Guogong know that this is an order and cannot be dismissed. No one in the house dared to refute Rong Guogong's meaning, but sighed: Jiang is still old and spicy.
Imagine the name of a five-year-old child, what the name of this doll can become, it is unbearable to look at directly, and this is the price of offending Rong Guogong.
Jiang was stunned in his heart, his face was a little pale, but he didn't dare to look up at Rong Guogong, he just looked at Su Enhua like a helper, this is also his child after all, what if he calls a cat and a dog?
Su Enhua wanted to intercede, but how could he have the guts, he looked at Shangjiang in a depressed mood, but he just glared back fiercely, this is the result of making good claims, and the name of this baby can only be left to fate.
When Su Xunchu heard Rong Guogong's words, his face also collapsed, and he said in his heart: This grandfather is really becoming more and more unreliable, how can she take a name? But after thinking about it carefully, she doesn't know how to choose a name, but this doll has a ready-made name.
So she wasn't in a hurry, her big eyes turned, searching in her little head, in her dreams, what is this doll called?
ââŚâŚ Su Xun thought about it for a while, and felt that it seemed to be called this name, but she was not sure for a while, so she could only hesitate to read it first.
But when she thought it, Tao's face immediately changed.
It is also Su Xun who is only five years old this year, and he has not yet gone to school to read and write, and on weekdays, Su Xun is too lazy to show that he knows a lot of words, for fear that his mother will think she is smart and will train her early.
But Su Xun often uses some words, such as "delicate and tight mung bean cake", "soft and delicious meat buns" and so on
So, Dow immediately thought of the word "tight", and these two words are really ......
There are not as many big houses and two bedrooms and three bedrooms in the house as Tao thinks, but they are all thinking about how to write these two words, and they will help this little doll later, so that he will not really grow up with a strange name.
"What the girl said means 'golden and jade good fate', and the pine of 'pine and cypress'?" At this time, I heard a crisp voice from outside the house.
The voice was a girl of no more than seven or eight years old standing near the door, she was dressed in a tender green dress, combed in a double bun, and her little face was delicate and lovely, and she was clean, and she looked a little different from the drunken gold fans in this room.
And she was so thin and weak that she stood by the door all the time, and no one noticed her existence.
Su Xun followed the voice and looked over, and then couldn't help but look at it a few more times.
If nothing else, she knew this girl.
The girl's name is Jiang Rouyun, and she is the niece of the second lady Jiang, and she will also be one of the most famous talented women in Kyoto in the future, or ...... The person on the tip of the heart of the talented man Xie Zhiyun.
