It was the first time for Jia Hu to watch someone else's washing, and he was running around the front hall and the back hall with great interest. The prince has been married for a few years, but he has no heirs, and he watched the chubby Jia Hu running around lively, his eyes were very hot, and he wanted to tease him for a while. Who knew that Jia Hu said hello, so he made a face at him and ran away. For a moment, the guests laughed.

Jia Hu ran to the place where the ladies were, and fell into the miserable situation of being pinched and eaten with tender tofu. finally escaped, and Jia Hu ran out to eat and wash three noodles at the banquet.

After lunch, the midwife's grandmother began to preside over the "washing three".

The first is to "add pots".

The Jia family took the lead in adding a small spoonful of water to the basin according to the respect and humility, and then put some gold and silver bills, which was called "adding a basin". Mother Jia looked at her brother distressedly, secretly hating that the Liu family had made Xisan so thin, she took out her private room, and suddenly added a few hundred taels of silver tickets and put them in the tea tray next to her.

Liu's face turned green when he saw it. You must know that when Hu Ge'er washed the third day, Jia Mu just casually added some gold and silver bills for rewarding people. Liu's eyelids are not shallow enough to worry about the old lady's private room, and these are actually for the midwife. But this represents the face of the brother. Mother Jia stepped on the face of her eldest grandson to the ground in front of her relatives and friends.

Next up is Liu. Jia's mother is not sensible, and Liu is not a person who makes his family ugly public. She smiled and put a gold collar into the basin, but the happy fruit she had prepared did not put down.

Jia Hu also came to make up the numbers, but he was still young, so he added a few spoonfuls of water.

After the Jia family, there is the Wang family. The old lady of the Wang family did not come. Wang Zisheng's family is in Jinling, and the first is the second sister-in-law of the Wang family, Yuan, Yuan's also put gold and silver collars, and also added some longan, lychees, red dates, peanuts, chestnuts and other happy fruits. Other relatives and friends followed suit.

The midwife's grandmother has a set of fixed greetings, what you add, what she says. If you add water, she will say, "Long water, wise and clever"; You add some jujubes, guiyuan, chestnuts and other happy fruits, and she will say: "Zao'er Lizi ("jujube" is homophonic to "early", "chestnut" is homophonic to "Li"), and even gave birth to a noble son ("gui" and "gui" are homonymous); Gui Yuan, Gui Yuan, Lian Zhong Sanyuan. This made Jia Hu, who was listening from the sidelines, find it very interesting.

After "adding a pot", the midwife's grandmother picked up the mallet and stirred it into the basin, saying: "One stir, two stirs, three stirs, my brother leads my younger brother to run." Seventy, eighty, crooked, naughty, sighing and snoring! If these words were ordinary, they would not have entered the ears of the ladies present. It's just that at this time, everyone listened with pleasure.

That's when the baby was bathed. When the child cries when he is cold, not only does not commit taboos, but thinks it is auspicious, which is called "ringing basin". While washing, the midwife's mother-in-law chanted the greetings, "Wash your hair first, and be a prince; After washing the waist, one generation is taller than the other; Wash the eggs, as the county; Wash the ditch and do Zhizhou".

Then, it is lit with mugwort leaf balls, and the ginger slices are used as a support, and placed on the baby's head, symbolically broiling.

Comb the baby's hair and dress it up again, and say "three combs, two folds, grow up and wear a red top; Draw eyebrows on the left, sideburns on the right, and find a daughter-in-law (son-in-law) in the fourth village; Brush your teeth, rinse your mouth, and talk to people so as not to be embarrassed. ”

Roll eggs on the baby's face, and say "The egg is rolling on the face, the face is like egg skin, and the willow is red like white, and it is really a lover." ”

After washing, tie up the child, gently hit the body three times with a green onion, and say: "One dozen smart ("Cong" and "green onion" are homophonic), and two dozen are smart. Then he asked someone to throw the green onion on the roof of the house (with the intention of wishing the child to be extremely smart in the future).

Pick up the scale and say: "Although the scale is small, it weighs a thousand catties (I wish the child will have a pivotal position in the family and society when he grows up)." Pick up the lock and make three gestures: "When you grow up, your head is tight, your feet are tight, and your hands are tight." (I wish the child to grow up to be stable and cautious). Then put the baby in the tea tray, use the gold and silver bills or jewelry prepared by the family in advance to the baby's body, and say: "The left is gold, the right is silver, you can't spend it, and you will be rewarded", (I wish the child a great fortune and a great life when he grows up).

Finally, he used a small mirror to shine on the baby's buttocks, saying: "Use the treasure mirror to shine on the belly, and shit and shit black during the day."

The most interesting thing is to sift a few paper pomegranate flowers into the oven and say: "Gardenia, jasmine, peach, apricot, rose, tuberose, flower scarring pea sparse lala's ......" (I wish the child no or less smallpox, and grow up healthy without disasters and diseases).

At this point, the old woman invited the mother's yard, godly money and food together with the incense root, and sent them to the courtyard for incineration.

The midwife's grandmother used copper chopsticks to hold the god code of "Kang Gong and Kang Mother" and burned it, and said: "Kang Gong and Kang Mother's original surname is Li, and the adults and children will hand it over to you; Send more men and less women. Then, put the ashes in a bag of red paper and press them under the kang mat, saying that he (she) would always stay on the kang head and bless the safety of adults and children.

Subsequently, he asked the Jia family to "say goodbye" in order to ask for a few rewards. Mother Jia was very happy and rewarded a lot, and the Liu family did not hide it privately, and asked Ping'an to give the reward with a smile on her face.

There are many "outer blocks" for the grandmother. "Potting" gold and silver bills, jewelry, copper, basin cloth, millet for incense ash, eggs, happy fruits, sprinkled with incense - osmanthus pot stove, oil cake, ...... An ancient brain was taken away by her. When the three banquets were over, the midwife's grandmother kowtowed to Jia's mother, and was rewarded again, and went home happily with these things.

Just like Wang Yuan's said, there are many reasons why it is not a big deal, but during the full moon banquet, seeing the specifications restored to the eldest grandson of Sancheng, the Wang family really breathed a sigh of relief.

There is nothing to say about the full moon banquet, but it is the Wang family's confinement and coming out to meet relatives and friends. Jia Hu was not interested, and after eating, he went to the study.

A word of caution here. After Jia Hu went to Lixiangyuan to study, Liu cleaned up a small study for him, which was next to Jia Yu's study. For this reason, Jia Yu also specially found the set of special small desks and chairs he used when he was a child from the warehouse. Although Jia Hu has not yet started to write, there are all kinds of pen, ink, paper and inkstones in the study.

On the day of the full moon banquet, Wang Ziteng, who returned home, asked: "You went to see the eldest sister, did she say what happened?" ”

Wang Yuanshi replied: "Zishuo said that she didn't know, but at the beginning, Mrs. Jia wanted to do a big job, and I don't know why the housekeeping was handed over to her sister-in-law, and then it became like this." ”

Wang Ziteng sneered, "She thinks she's the smartest in the world?" Doing such a thing, and expecting me to stand up for her? Look at me as a fool! ”

After Wang Ziteng said this sentence sarcastically, Wang Yuan couldn't help but be silent. After a moment, she cheered up and said, "The sister-in-law of the Jia family revealed something to me. ”

The prince raised his eyebrows and motioned for her to continue.

"It is said that it is Jia Guogong's intention, and her mother-in-law handed her the key to the treasury the day before the third wash." Wang Yuan said happily, "Jia Guogong's wife is not a good person, the sister-in-law of the Jia family has been married to his family for seven or eight years, and she touched the key to the library door for the first time." ”

The prince glanced at her, "Then what do you have to be happy about?" ”

"Me," Wang Yuanshi touched her belly, "I just have to think that my belly is also a daughter who wants to be a daughter-in-law, and I am very happy to hear the story of those daughters-in-law who have won the battle against the evil mother-in-law." ”

The prince smiled.

Within a month, Liu held two big banquets. Although the scale is not very large, it is the first time for her to do it, and Jia's mother tried her best to block her, and after the full moon banquet was dispersed, Liu fell ill unexpectedly. Liu suddenly fell, Jia Yu was anxious, and took his father's post and went to ask for a doctor.

It is not good to be a father-in-law and wait outside his daughter-in-law's room, so Jia Daishan went to Rongxi Hall to wait for the diagnosis of the imperial doctor. He sat on the main seat of Rongxi Hall with a black face, and Jia Mu sat next to him, her eyes full of schadenfreude.

Jia Zheng waited impatiently, secretly complaining that his sister-in-law had nothing to do. I don't want to think that people are just busy with the second room. And Mrs. Wang, when she came out, she saw that the banquet was full of petty officials' wives, and none of the wives of the four kings and eight princes came, and her face was pale. Angry with Liu's to death.

In terms of being cold-hearted, these two couples are really a natural couple.

The imperial doctor came with Jia Yu. Jia Yu was beaming with joy when she came in, and Mrs. Wang chuckled in her heart.

Sure enough, after saluting, the imperial doctor congratulated everyone: "The young grandmother has been around for three months. He also said that he was afraid that he was too tired, and the fetus was a little unstable and had to rest in bed.

As soon as the words fell, everyone's expressions were different, probably only Jia Yu and Jia Daishan were really happy. The imperial doctor muttered in his heart, but he didn't say much, prescribed a prescription, took the reward, and was sent out by Jia Yu.

After Jia Yu came back, Jia Mu spoke: "Since the old family wants to cultivate, let the second family take care of the house first." ”

Jia Yu's eyes widened, and he was about to speak. "Let the second daughter-in-law help take care of it, and put the key to the treasury with the old family. There are precedents to follow in the family, if the second daughter-in-law can't, go and ask your sister-in-law. Jia Daishan interrupted him and said with a calm face.

Jia Yu Yile, isn't this what he used to do as a housekeeper like Wang Xifeng? Jia Daishan spoke, although he didn't want to take advantage of the second room, Jia Yu agreed.

Jia Yu returned to Lanfang Courtyard, Liu had already woken up, Jia Hu curiously touched his mother's belly, and couldn't believe that Jia Lian was about to be born. He cautiously asked, "Mother, does the little brother live in it?" ”

Jia Yu, who had just entered the door, smiled: "Yes, does Hu'er like her younger brother?" ”

I don't know if it's a man or a woman in my belly, so the two fathers and sons screamed one by one, and Liu looked at them helplessly.

In his heart, he believed that what was in Liu's stomach was Jia Lian, and Jia Yu said curtly, "It is said that children's eyes are the most intelligent and can see things that adults can't see." Hu'er said so, you must be pregnant with a son. ”

The two of them swore that they prepared all the things for boys, and Liu was also suspicious and half-convinced, so he was born with a slap in the face. That's for later.

The Liu family was most worried about the affairs of the Wang family's housekeeper. It's not that she loves power, it's really that there are more places where the housekeeper can start, only the day before yesterday was a thief, how can there be a thousand days to prevent thieves. Jia Yu also remembered that it was after the Wang family's housekeeper that Hu'er had an accident, and his wife Zhang in his previous life also died in childbirth.

The husband and wife were speechless. Jia Yu had a headache and found that he was reborn in a lifetime, and he didn't light up the skills of the house fight, so he couldn't let the pregnant Liu family work hard, right?

After a while, Liu said, "Wait until I enter the palace and ask my sister." ”
