In February and March, the grass is the same color as the water.

It was no longer cold at the end of February. Yueyao got up in the morning and walked to the backyard to play five birds, when she saw the birds in the trees making a pleasant call.

Yue Yao looked at the bird and said happily: "There is a bird cry early in the morning, and there must be a happy event today." "The magpie is calling, there must be something good coming to the door.

By noon, Yueyao got the news that Zhuang Ruolan had given birth and gave birth to a girl. Yue Yao said to herself: "Fate can still be changed. "I remember that in my last life, my eldest cousin had no children and no daughters, but in this life I already have a daughter.

Zhuang Ruolan's baby was probably a daughter because the imperial doctor and Wen Po said that it was probably a daughter, so Ma Chengteng and Ma Peng were prepared, and they were not disappointed when they heard that it was a girl, and the first child in the family, even if it was a girl, it was also happy.

Ma Peng is the first time to be a father, and he doesn't dare to move casually with a small child, for fear that Peng will touch somewhere, so that the girl on the side of the voice will laugh.

When the child washed the third was very lively, even the family was still in the filial piety period, so such a festive day was to be avoided, so the ceremony did not arrive.

Bao has a good reputation outside, and it is naturally impossible for people to pick their mouths at the baptism ceremony, but in private, they reminded Ruolan, "The most important thing to marry a wife is to spread the branches, and jealousy is one of the seven, but you can't let the girls of the dealer get the name of a fierce wife." Bao's words mean that Ruolan is narrow-minded, and she doesn't even prepare for Ma Peng when she is pregnant, so that the banker's reputation will be affected.

Ruolan said with a smile: "I heard that my cousin already has two beautiful flowers by his side, and I believe that my sister will be a virtuous wife in the future." "The cousin of the Bao family, because he is three years older than Hailan, is now eighteen years old, and he has two maid rings by his side. According to Ruolan's knowledge, one of the Yahuan was pregnant, but fortunately, she had a miscarriage later, otherwise Hailan would have become a cheap girl before she passed the door.

Bao Shi hated it in his heart, but he said lightly: "The child was born on February 22, you should think a little harder." This sentence contains a lot of things.

Many people are superstitious and think that children born in February have a bad life and are miserable. In fact, even if Bao didn't say it, Ruolan was a little worried, her father-in-law and husband didn't believe this, but it didn't prevent others from believing in this rumor, and her daughter's marriage in the future would be difficult.

Bao Shi looked at Ruolan's ugly look and a smile flashed in her eyes, speaking of which she was really jealous of Ruolan, she often stumbled her when she was at home, and finally pit her daughter. Every time I think of Ruolan, I hate Bao in my heart.

Bao also wanted to say some private words to Yueyao, and it was rumored that the princess of the country's mansion came over. Although Bao hated the people of the Guogong Mansion, he did not dare to offend the Guogong Mansion, so he met with the Deng family, the son of the Duke of Lu, and went out after a few more words.

Deng patted Zhuang Ruolan's hand and said with a smile: "As a confinement person, you can't be angry, and you can't bother, otherwise it will damage your body, and you won't be able to do what she wants." ”

Zhuang Ruolan said her worries, "Uncle, if you let the child bear such a reputation, what will the child do in the future?" ”

Deng Shi frowned: "This Bao family is really doing everything, what is the attitude of the in-laws and uncle?" If even your own family thinks so, then you're in trouble. If the family doesn't believe it, it's easy to do. Whether the reputation is good or bad, it is all managed, not the world.

Caiyun interjected with a smile, "Uncle and Mrs. don't know, the master and the eldest young master love the eldest girl very much, especially the eldest young master, who comes over to see the eldest girl every day on a business trip." ”

Deng Shi smiled: "In that case, you tell them about this matter and let them solve it." "If you can entrust things to men, don't bother with this god.

Ma Chengteng heard that the mansion said that his freshly baked granddaughter was too hard, and she would overcome her father and mother, and she was an inauspicious person, Ma Chengteng was furious at the moment, and the culprit who spread this rumor was beaten and sold by 20 boards, and other people who spread rumors were also severely punished.

Caiyun told Zhuang Ruolan about it.

Zhuang Ruolan was very surprised, her father-in-law didn't believe it, and he would punish the old servant of the mansion severely. As far as Zhuang Ruolan knows, Ma Chengteng never cares about the affairs of the inner court, but this time because his daughter was so angry, Zhuang Ruolan felt that it was very strange.

Caiyun said his conjecture, "Before, the cousin girl was rumored to be a hard kiss for her life, which made the lord angry, and I think it should be the same this time." ”

Zhuang Ruolan put her mind at ease, "It's good if the lord doesn't believe it, who is spreading it in the mansion, have you found it out?" ”

Caiyun pinched the quilt for Zhuang Ruolan, "Young lady, just leave these to the slave maid, you have to take care of your body now." ”

Zhuang Ruolan didn't say anything more.

Yueyao came to the door after washing three times, the little girl was sleeping when Yueyao arrived, Yueyao looked at the child sleeping sweetly, and asked with a smile: "Cousin-in-law, has the child been named?" ”

Ruolan shook her head, with a smile on her face, "Your cousin hasn't picked up a satisfactory name yet, he himself has taken one and denied the other, and I don't know how long it will take." Ma Peng had already said that he would take the name of the first child, and Ma Chengteng didn't rob him.

Yue Yao smiled, "I remember that when I was born, my father also looked up ancient books in the dictionary, and he didn't take this name until I was half a year old. ”

Yueyao was talking, when she saw the little girl open her eyes, she snorted a few words, and Caiyun looked at it and said, "The girl is afraid that she is hungry." The nurse was called to go out to nurse the child.

The nurse took it back after feeding. Caiyi smiled beside her and said, "Cousin, you also hug our eldest girl." ”

Looking at the pink and tender child, Yueyao didn't know how to put her hands and feet. Under the guidance of the nurse, Yueyao carefully held the child in her arms.

The person who is a confinement can't work hard, Yueyao accompanied Ruolan for a conversation and then quit. Yue Yao looked at Caiyun who sent her out and asked tentatively: "I look at my cousin-in-law as if she has something on her mind, Sister Caiyun, I heard that people who are confined can't bother. If there is someone in the mansion who is not long-sighted and obstructs your cousin, you can tell your eldest cousin and let your eldest cousin deal with it. Yue Yao looked at Zhuang Ruolan with a sad look between her eyebrows, and felt that something should be wrong.

Caiyun thought about it and told Yue Yao about it, even if she didn't say it now, Yue Yao would hear the rumors in a few days.

Yue Yao frowned when she heard that the child's birth time was not good. Large families pay a lot of attention to it, and a good birthday is more important than family background. It can be said that if it is a two-character Wangfu Wang's family, even if the family of the poor man also likes it, on the other hand, if the eight-character is not good, no matter how good the door is, it will not be liked, so these eight-character characters are very important. Her reputation was spread like this, if it weren't for special reasons, the Shen family would have come to withdraw from the marriage a long time ago.

Yueyao was also full of thoughts, not long after leaving the yard, she saw Ma Peng coming head-on, people were in good spirits on happy occasions, Ma Peng was a father for the first time, and the excitement had not passed. Ma Peng was very happy, "My cousin is also here, just right, cousin, I thought of two more names, and my cousin also came over to refer to it." Ma Peng thinks that Yueyao's literary talent is better than himself, so it's right to let Yueyao refer to it.

Yueyao followed Ma Peng back to the house, and when she heard Ma Peng say the two names she had come up with, one was called Zixuan and the other was called Zitong.

Both names are good, but they were vetoed by Ruolan, "Husband, I have a cousin named Zitong Zixuan, and I don't want my daughter to be reunited with them." "Having the same name is a trivial matter, the key is that the two are not blessed people, one died early, and the other did not live well after getting married, how can you let your daughter take the same name as them, I don't feel good when I think about it.

Ma Peng was a little discouraged, he took no less than twenty names during this time, all of which were denied by Ruolan, which hit his self-confidence too much.

Ma Peng looked at Yue Yao and said, "Cousin, my father said that your literary talent is better than mine, or cousin, you can help the baby choose a name." ”

Ruolan was speechless, and she didn't have such a lazy father, but she didn't sweep her husband's face. However, Zhuang Ruolan was a little curious, she knew that Yue Yao was very smart and had the ability to never forget, but she didn't know how Yue Yao's writing was.

Yueyao rejected this proposal, it was all the parents who named the child, where was her turn, "If the cousin can't make up his mind, let the uncle take it, or let the cousin's father take it, they are all blessed people." Yueyao felt that she had a bad reputation, and it was not a good thing for the child to be named by her.

Ruolan decided not to choose a name from her father-in-law, she didn't want her husband's name if it was not good, and she didn't dare to veto the name taken by her father and father-in-law. Ruolan thought for a while and said, "My cousin is very knowledgeable, and if you think of a good name, you can also say it." Ruolan wanted to give her daughter a name with a good meaning, but she couldn't find something satisfactory.

Yue Yao thought for a while and said, "Cousin, cousin-in-law, what do you think of Ke Yue?" Seeing the two people looking at her, she hurriedly explained: "Ke means that white jade is as beautiful and flawless, and Yue is the legendary mysterious Buddha bead, which represents the meaning of auspiciousness and health." ”

Ma Peng was overjoyed: "Okay, this name is good." He turned around and asked Ruolan Dao: "Lady, look at this name, it sounds good, and the meaning is good." ”

Zhuang Ruolan also thinks this name is very good. However, she felt that she should measure it again, not so hastyly, the first child, it is inevitable to be cautious.

Yue Yao didn't care, she went back after lunch, and on the way back, she lay on the carriage and couldn't help but drift away.
