Chapter 556: Auspicious Celebration
Emperor Jingshun listened to the fourth son's nonsense, how could he not understand what he wanted to express, but he was in a good mood, and he was not angry, he only glared at his elbow and turned out to help others calculate his son, and scolded: "If you don't say it, I will also be rewarded, which one wants you to sell well!" Hum! â
When the Marquis of Jingbei got the porcelain holiday, Yang Jingfang, the king of Fu, was also present, so he immediately accosted him with a smile: "Father, the Marquis of Jingbei has done his errands beautifully, and Yongding River has been safe for a hundred years...... On the occasion of the completion of the Yongding River project, it coincided with the joy of the full moon of the Hou Xiaoer of Jingbei, which was really auspicious and auspicious......
But all the old people love to hear about the auspicious celebrations. Mrs. Jingbei Hou had two boys and a girl in one child, and there was no damage to one, although Mrs. Jingbei Hou gave birth a little thrilling, but after all, there was no danger, turning the danger into safety, the mother and son were safe, and gradually recovered their health, this kind of thing may not be absent in the country, but in the capital, especially in the family of the nobles, it is a rare joy for hundreds of years.
Two days before the full moon of the triplets, the general project of the Yongding River was finally completed before the freeze. After the performance, the emperor was overjoyed and gave Qin Zheng a three-day vacation, so that he could buy a full moon for the triplets children.
Before I knew it, half a month had passed, and the day of the full moon of the triplets came as scheduled.
With this lesson, Qiu Chen no longer dared to be reckless, behaved and patiently confinement, recuperated and exercised his body, and promoted the recovery of the body, so as to be strong and healthy.
After all, it was a weak body, the days were shallow, the day before bathing, this day there was a guest talking, and Chang Jiayi and the three of them were sent away, and they felt tired, and they didn't eat anything serious at lunch, so they lay down and fell asleep. I slept until dusk and felt better.
Qiu Chen had the feelings of the child's mother, so he naturally would not be embarrassed, and happily sent Chang Jiayi to say goodbye. Wang Jingshu and Song Xi'er were afraid that Qiu Chen would be tired in the confinement, so they also said goodbye. Qiu Chen kept a few words, and sent the two away helplessly. Before leaving, he packed a few baskets of pears and pomegranates from Zhuangzi for a few people, and repeatedly instructed a few people to come often, so he reluctantly watched a few people go out of the house and walk out of the yard from the glass window, and they couldn't see.
After Qiu Chen's introduction, Chang Jiayi finally ate Ejiao longan soup, and several people talked and laughed, ate something, and soon more than an hour passed. Chang Jiayi couldn't sit still for the first time, and got up to say goodbye: "Look at your own milk child is so good, I will also learn this time...... It's really, different, the child is very close to me...... However, because of this, we have to hurry back, otherwise, maybe the little thing should be turned upside down. â
After all, they are intimate and familiar with each other, and Song Xi'er may not be annoyed when she says this, but she is always a little disrespectful. Qiu Chen naturally signaled to Chang Jiayi to prevent her from saying it and causing embarrassment to everyone.
For a big girl like Song Xi'er, the best way to go to live in someone's house is nothing more than to marry her...... Although the Marquis of Jingbei and the county lord of Anning are still young, the eldest son Ah Fu is already ten years old, only four years younger than Song Xi'er...... In this era, it is still normal for men and women to be four or five years old. Of course, there are many cases where the man is older, and it is common for the woman to be one or two years older, and the age gap of four or five years or even greater is generally due to some special reasons.
Halfway through the words, before Song Xi'er could react, Qiu Chen's gaze turned sideways, and Chang Jiayi immediately closed her mouth vigilantly, and after laughing, she immediately changed the topic.
As soon as these words came out, Chang Jiayi and Wang Jingshu were stunned for a while, and then Chang Jiayi smiled happily: "It's not impossible for you to think about it......"
Song Xi'er's eyes widened and she nodded again and again, and she didn't know if she heard what Qiu Chen said, but she heard that they didn't hinder eating some, so she was full of joy, nodded ignorantly, and couldn't wait to pick a spoonful of sugar water and put it into her mouth, chewed it carefully, and then let out a light and satisfied sigh: "Sister Begonia's sugar water is delicious, the snacks are delicious, and the meals are delicious...... If only I could stay at Sister Begonia's house every day! â
Qiu Chen smiled, shook his head and said, "This one is also different. You are young and do not gain weight easily, so it is okay to eat in moderation. Jiayi and I have just given birth, and our waist and abdomen are loose, and we are particularly prone to gaining weight, so we should pay special attention to it. It's easy for the meat to grow, but it's hard to get slim back! â
Song Xi'er frowned, pouted and looked at the sugar water in her hand, looked at Qiu Chen, and said distressedly: "Sister, can't you really eat this?" â
Hearing Qiu Chen's words, Wang Jingshu and Song Xi'er also showed a hint of fear, looking at the sugar water in their hands, they really didn't know what to do...... Jingbei Hou's sugar water is very particular, and it is the most delicious. Wang Jingshu and Song Xi'er both like it very much, and they must eat it every time they come, and they eat more than one serving. At this time, I heard Qiu Chen say that sugar water will make people fat, and it was inevitable that I would be embarrassed, it was really choked with food, and it was a pity to abandon it!
"Huh? I see! Chang Jiayi was suddenly remorseful. She only thought that big oil and meat would make people fat, but she didn't notice that a lot of sugar water was added with sugar and honey, and the sweetness promoted people's appetite, and it was easy for people to gain weight unconsciously.
As soon as he heard this, Qiu Chen couldn't help but laugh: "You just complained that you didn't dare to eat anything, and now you will be exposed." This thing looks refreshing, but with honey and ice cubes of sugar, it is the easiest to gain weight after drinking too much...... However, this ejiao, which smells a little tired, regulates blood and replenishes blood, and also adds drugs to activate the meridians, drinking one a day, which can not only regulate qi and blood, but also promote the smooth flow of blood vessels. The blood and meridians are all smooth, the general is not painful, the general is not stagnant, and the excessive oiliness is naturally discharged from the body...... Not only will it not gain weight, but it will also promote the recovery of the body! â
Chang Jiayi looked at the black soup, and then smelled the familiar smell of ejiao, so she frowned, pointed to the pear lily soup and said, "I drank this a few days ago, and it was greasy and disgusting...... If there's still that, get me another one! â
As she was talking, Mama Chen brought a few girls to deliver a few soups. Chang Jiayi had just come out of confinement, so what she was sent to her was the same as Qiu Chen, which was Ejiao longan soup that replenished blood and adjusted blood; For Wang Jingshu and Song Xi'er, it was Sydney lily soup.
Looking down at her obviously much thicker waist, Chang Jiayi smiled bitterly: "Tell me, how did you recuperate, and how did you recover in the blink of an eye...... It's not like me, I don't dare to eat this or that every day, and I still ...... like this."
Chang Jiayi, Wang Jingshu, and Song Xi'er arrived around the same hour, and saw that Qiu Chen's face had recovered a lot, no longer swollen, and his complexion was much better...... It is conceivable that after two or three months of recuperation, after the loose waist and abdominal skin is restored, Qiu Chen's body will also return to its previous thin and slender body.
Although Qiu Chen is still in confinement, she has not delayed washing, and she has bathed again, and the bed tent and bedding have been replaced with dry and clean, although there is no incense in the house, but a pot of cold orchid that blooms just right in the corner of the house is offered, and the light and quiet fragrance is spreading, fresh and elegant, refreshing.
After thinking about it like this, Qiu Chen shook his head with a secret smile. I unknowingly became contaminated with the paternalism of an arranged marriage!
After being silent for a while, Qiu Chen instructed Chen to bring up the congratulatory gift list he had received before, and after rummaging for a while, Qiu Chen found a plain gift list, signed by the Qiu family. The girl of the Qiu family, although her family background is poor, the girl's character is good, and she is also knowledgeable...... If there is anything wrong with Junwen, she will settle the girl of the Qiu family...... If Junwen can't do it, there is still Junshu!
Looking at the snacks sent by Wang Jingshu, Qiu Chen inevitably remembered Junwen, who had already traveled hundreds of miles south from Beijing...... If Jun Wenshun lĂŹ Zhongju and Zhongjinshi, then there are two possibilities for the child's wishes. But if he has to abandon his literature and take the martial arts examination, the child is likely to go to the border to garrison, and it will be short for three or five years, and the marriage with Wang Jingshu will be even more impossible.
The mother-in-law who was sent to the Song Mansion of the palace quickly turned back, and naturally brought back good news, Wang Jingshu also asked people to pack two baskets of freshly steamed dim sum and give Ah Fu and Amanyun a few to eat. At this time, Qiu Chen is still in confinement, he doesn't dare to eat a lot of things, and there are many taboos, a thoughtful person like Wang Jingshu will naturally not have such a business trip!
Before giving birth, she had a big belly, wheezing without moving, dizzy and dizzy, even if her friends came, she couldn't talk well, but now that the three babies were born, her body has recovered a lot, and she feels almost the same as a good person, so she is naturally a little unwilling to be lonely, and she calls friends to get together, and she can't wait for the confinement at all.
After sending away the mother-in-law of the eldest princess's mansion, Qiu Chen hurriedly ordered people to go to the palace and the Song mansion, and invited Wang Jingshu and Song Xi'er to come over, and then the big guys would gather together and talk.
The mother-in-law naturally agreed, Qiu Chen ordered someone to take the gold silk embroidered five taels of purse as a reward, and the two mothers-in-law kowtowed happily and thanked the reward, and then said goodbye and went back.
Chang Jiayi sent over two mothers-in-law, both of whom had faces around Chang Jiayi, Qiu Chen greeted them warmly, and said with a smile: "When you go back, tell your young lady that I am well now, and I look forward to her coming to the door every day...... If the weather is warm, it is best to hold the child and let me see it, the weather is cool and cold, so don't force the child to take it. â
Hearing that his good friend was about to come to the door, Qiu Chen was naturally very happy, and hurriedly smiled and said, "Hurry up and call in, hurry up and call in!" â
Speaking of which, because Chang Jiayi and she were pregnant successively, before the final delivery, they could only stay at home to raise the fetus with peace of mind, and they did not dare to go out.
Just as he was watching the three babies talking to Mrs. Liu, Chen walked in from outside, and after bending his knees slightly to greet the mother and daughter, he immediately replied with a smile: "Just now, the Changle Eldest Princess's Mansion sent someone to make a post, saying that Mrs. Chang wants to come over tomorrow to visit you and the little masters." â
Knowing that Mrs. Liu's words were exaggerated, Qiu Chen still couldn't smile, full of joy, stroking the three small meat buns and laughing: "Then let's accept Grandma's auspicious words!" â
Mrs. Liu followed from the east house to the west house, sat face to face with Qiu Chen, still looking at the three children, and chattered with a smile: "The three babies can eat and sleep, just like a calf...... Looking at the solid energy, you know that you are strong and strong, and you must have no illness or disaster, and you will grow up smoothly and properly. â
Of course, the baby's growth rate is the fastest in the first month of life, and it will gradually slow down after the full month, and after three months, the first rapid growth period after birth is completed. It is unlikely that children will grow to twenty pounds in three months, but by two months, it is still about the same for children to grow to twelve or thirteen pounds.
After playing, Qiu Chen became interested, asked people to bring the scales, wrapped the children in a bag and hung them on the scale hook, and lifted them to weigh the approximate weight of the children. As soon as I said that, the three children had nearly doubled from the initial three pounds and more than four pounds, and Chang'er was still the heaviest, already six pounds and eight taels; The weight difference between Liang'er and Jiu'er has narrowed a little, and it has also increased a lot, one is six pounds and two taels, and the other is six pounds...... At this rate, you can reach a little fat man of twenty pounds in two months!
quietly looked at the children's utensils environment, and secretly paid attention to the arrival of the nurses and grandmothers, whether they served them wholeheartedly, etc., and then after the children were full of milk, Qiu Chen took the three children back to the West House together, put the three children next to him, untied the swaddling clothes for the children, and wore thin cotton clothes and pants.
Since Brother Yun was a child, Qiu Chen has asked for no need for these things, he wants the children to grow healthy and beautiful, pull the children to move more, massage and massage the little body, legs, feet and hands, the children will grow up healthily enough, and there is absolutely no need for this kind of torture-like measures!
After reading it, Qiu Chen also put his mind at ease. The bedding everywhere is soft, dry and clean, the house is cleaned in the environment, there is no peculiar smell, and the children's swaddling clothes are only tied with a belt around the waist to ensure that the swaddling clothes do not disperse, but they are not wrapped into zongzi with cloth straps...... Newborn babies have natural calves that have a natural bend, and under normal circumstances, they will correct themselves as the child grows up, and will not become a lap leg. But in this era, there is a habit to wrap children's legs tightly and tie them tightly, saying that it can make children's legs grow straighter...... I also like to give newborns a harder pillow, and the back of the baby's head is flattened and flat, which is the most beautiful...... The soft bones of newborn babies, especially the bone seams of the skull, are not completely closed, and they dare not be soft in the palm of their hands...... Just put it on a hard wooden pillow or a porcelain pillow...... Qiu Chen feels sorry for the children when he thinks about it!
Of course, being born rich and noble does not necessarily mean that you will grow into a prodigal who does not learn and have no skills, and you will not necessarily become a coquettish and domineering coquettish woman! With the educational achievements of Brother Afu and Amanyun's children, Qiu Chen is still relatively confident in this regard.
Splendid pile of Qiluo bush...... Even if Qiu Chen repeatedly compressed the regulations and reduced the number of unnecessary people, the triplets were born in the Jingbei Hou Mansion, with the famous Jingbei Hou as the father and the legendary civilian county lord as the mother, they were already destined to be born rich and noble. In response to the sentence 'Splendid piles of Qiluo bushes, Yutang Golden Horse Wat is full of beds', born destined to be a rich and noble son, Miss Gejiao, will not change with Qiu Chen's wishes.
Each of the three children is equipped with two wet nurses, one is found from outside, and the main job is to breastfeed, and the second is to take care of the children; The other is the mother-in-law of the family, who was selected by experienced grandmothers such as Chen's Lin and Wang's and Ping'an Qin Li and others, and was reviewed by Qiu Chen, so it was determined, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it has been carefully selected. Of course, it's not just the nurse and the grandmother, but also the big girl and the rough girl...... Before the triplets were born, everyone prepared a nurse and a wet nurse, two second-class girls, and four third-class girls. In addition, the needlework man also specially allocated three meticulous and delicate people to do work for the three children; There are also cooks in the kitchen, who are specially prepared for goat milk, soup, decoction and other affairs for the children to eat and drink.
At this time, her body was brisk and full of energy, and she naturally no longer endured her concern for the children, and rushed over to see the children's bedding, supplies, and even toys, environment, etc.
Since the confinement was over, she was first raised in the Xili house, and then she was able to get off the kang and move around, so she moved in the two rooms on the west side, but she never went through the hall to the east room. I have never seen the arrangement for the placement of the three children in person.
Patiently rested on the kang for a while, ate a bowl of Ejiao longan soup, and then got up and went to the east house.
Sitting on the kang, Chengying and Yuegui gave her strands of hair and twisted them dry, loosely tied at the back of her head, and the whole person stood upright, as if her eyes saw things a little clearer. People are in good spirits, and they don't want to lie crooked in the room anymore, but Qiu Chen also understands that his body at this time is like a serious illness just recovering from a serious illness, and he must not get carried away because his body is relaxed for a while.
After more than ten days of recuperation, Qiu Chen's body gradually recovered, the pain in the body was probably gone after four or five days, and when it was eight or nine days, the lochia was also clean, Qiu Chen opened Zhou's and asked for hot water, let Chengying and Hanguang scoop the water, take a shower happily, and the hair that had been sticky for many days was also thoroughly cleaned, and he came out of the clean room in a comfortable thin silk cotton clothes and pants, only to feel that his body was light and full of energy, and his footsteps seemed to bring the wind and fluttering lightly.
After Mrs. Liu rested for a day, she couldn't stay in Ruyi Courtyard, and she rushed over Mu'en Courtyard before dawn every day, guarding her three little grandsons and couldn't take her eyes off. Watching three little things eat, drink, and sleep...... No one will come forward and refuse to leave.
After a flash of ten days, the children saw that they had gained a circle, the wrinkled and loose skin was full, round and full, pink and delicate, and with the growth, the eyesight, hearing, mobility and expression skills have improved a lot, and the interaction with adults is also more and more, and it is naturally more cute and cute. Especially when the three pink and tender meat buns are changing the breasts or taking a bath, the fleshy little hands and feet move and move, and the mouths are babbling and babbling to each other...... It really made the hearts of the people who watched it melt.
At this moment, hearing that his wife really trusted and relied on his father, Qin Zheng's heart moved, but on the surface, he still agreed calmly, and went out to wash and change clothes in the east wing.
The change in her son's attitude naturally made Qin Xiuyi feel comfortable, and she was naturally more willing to take her grandson......
Since becoming a family, especially with Brother Yun, after Qin Zheng returned from the southern expedition, he has unconsciously had more contact with his father Qin Xiuyi, after all, it is the blood and flesh of father and son, and the resentment accumulated in his heart because of his mother's resentment and early death cannot completely disappear, but when Qin Zheng faced his father Qin Xiuyi, he was really much more relaxed, no longer as cold and distant as before, polite and alienated, and there may not be much fault in etiquette, but there is no sense of closeness between father and son at all.
In addition, as she grew older, Qin Xiuyi's romantic temperament also reined in, and the little drama concubines in the family sent a lot of ...... All kinds of things made Qiu Chen's resistance to this merry father-in-law less by little, not to mention anything else, at least Brother Yun followed Qin Xiuyi out, she was already very relieved.
After several years of contact and understanding, Qiu Chen did not reject Qin Xiuyi, the famous Duke of Liang, as he did at the beginning. Not to mention that marrying a wife and taking a concubine is the most common thing in this era, even in the modern era when the law is monogamous, there are many people who raise three small bags and two wives and go out to be amorous. What's more important is that Qin Xiuyi is not bad to her and Afu Amandu, and has never been contemptuous; Of course, it is even more rare and loving to Brother Yun, as long as there is time, especially on the day off, I almost take Brother Yun with me all day long...... That ancestral and grandson affection naturally diluted the bad impression in Qiu Chen's heart.
Qiu Chen heard this kind of polite salutation again, and he was a little more accustomed to it, and said with a smile: "Yun'er goes out with her father, you don't have to worry about anything, Master Hou is tired after a day's work, it is better to wash and change clothes and rest for a while, maybe my father will send Brother Yun'er back." â
After speaking, he changed his tone and said, "Madame is so good that she will be raised, I will go to pick up Yun'er and come back." â
Qin Zheng was also called like this for the first time, and he was slightly stunned, although he stood outside the door curtain and the people in the house couldn't see it at all, he still bowed his hand and said, "Sister-in-law is polite." â
Although Zhou talked to Qiu Chen before and called Qin Zheng 'brother-in-law', he was still somewhat restrained in front of him, and he always called Qin Gongzi according to the old practice, or vaguely in the past. Although he was born in a noble and high-ranking family, he did not neglect the Yang family from the Zhuang family, whether it was Mrs. Liu or Yang Shuyong and her, they were very respectful and courteous, and the Zhou family gradually let go of their restraint and fear, and became close unconsciously.
Looking at the smiling sister-in-law with a smile, Zhou smiled and said outward: "Brother-in-law Lao is tired and worried!" â
The smile on his face couldn't help but spread out, and in Zhou's eyes, it meant something else entirely.
Ha ha...... The picture is so beautiful, Qiu Chen almost sprayed!
There are two or three hundred people in the family, in the shop in Zhuangzi, and even on various social occasions, I have heard too many people call her 'madam', but this is the first time I have heard Qin Zheng call her 'madam'. Somehow, a dramatic scene suddenly appeared in Qiu Chen's impression, where a man with a long beard politely talked to his wife and asked questions, one calling him 'Madam' and the other 'Master'......
Madam......
