112 Full Moon and Birthday
Spring comes and goes, and in the blink of an eye, it is the middle of winter.
"What do you see?" When Zheng stepped into the West Chamber, he saw his eldest daughter staring at the two swaddling clothes on the special small bed, looking left and right, as if it was very novel.
"Mother, you're here." Xia Chu hurriedly turned around and blessed the gift, pointed to the two little dolls and said softly with a smile: "Mother, look, the two of them really look exactly the same!" ”
"Children look the same, but they're twins, and they're exactly the same." Zheng smiled dumbly, walked to her side, looked at his two grandsons, and said with a smile: "It changes every day, it's hard for you to come and see it every day, it can be seen that I really like them in my heart, and it is their blessing to have an aunt who loves them." ”
At the beginning of summer, she just looked at the freshness. She didn't see children in any year, but there weren't many twins who were exactly the same, and she had only seen such a pair of girls in her previous life, almost identical, and she couldn't tell the difference at all.
She was the daughter of a courtier's family, but not a princess in the palace.
"It has to be my mother, who also cares for them, and they are more blessed."
"Mother naturally loves them." My eldest grandson, how can I not hurt it? There are two in this life, and Zheng is also very happy. The Great Jin Dynasty did not have any unlucky saying that twins were unlucky, and at the same time got two big fat grandsons, and the Zheng family and Xia Qing were both happy.
"Mother, can you tell them apart?" At the beginning of summer, I looked left and right, and it seemed that these two were the same, so how to distinguish them? When a nursing mother holds and breastfeeds, won't she make a mistake?
"Naturally, you can tell the difference." Zheng said proudly, pulling Xia Chu to show her: "Big brother's eyes are bigger, like his mother." The second brother is smaller, you see the second brother's eyes, there is a small brown mole, now it looks indistinguishable, and it will be visible when it is bigger. ”
At the beginning of the summer, I tried to look and look, but I still couldn't tell whose eyes were the size, they were all closed! How do you see it?
However, she saw the small pale brown mole under Zheng's guidance, but the size of a needle tip made it easy to ignore the past when she missed it, and it was hard for her to see it so clearly, and sure enough, the person who became a grandmother was different.
After all, Zheng rushed back before Mei's production.
As if they had said yes, a few days after Zheng came back, the two children were impatient to come out. At that time, it was only eight months, and now there is a saying that there are seven lives and eight lives, which can scare the eldest brother Xia Yi enough, and he is as anxious as ants on a hot pot, spinning all over the ground.
Zheng was still calm, and immediately called a doctor, asked the reason, and learned that it was common for twins to be born prematurely, so he calmed down his son. After a while, she asked Xia Yi, who had weak legs, to drive outside the delivery room and shouted at Mei Shi through the wall.
Isn't it just a breath of gas for a woman to give birth to a child?
When she was born at the beginning of the summer, she had a difficult birth, and Liu did this, she always felt ashamed and angry at the beginning, but when she came back to her senses, if she didn't have such an extraordinary behavior as her mother-in-law, her breath might have been loosened, and in the end, she would not have saved up a lot of energy, gritted her teeth and gave birth to her.
After a few years, my daughter will be older in the blink of an eye.
When she left, she was small and looked extremely thin, but at this time, she already looked like a big girl. Her yellow hair was also dark and full, and her beautiful eyes were as bright as the stars in the sky, like her father's thick eyebrows and big eyes, but her eyebrows hid a bit of her softness, that is, that kind of character...... There is neither her husband's gentleness nor her pungency.
She is like a rock, let the wind and rain blow, I stand still.
It's not that it's not good, it's just that the little girl's family is more lively and more desirable.
"Let's go out first, wake up these two, that loud voice is very noisy." And it is one before and one after, echoing back and forth. The two children were born thinner than ordinary babies, but their voices were very bright.
Zheng said disgust, but there was a smile in his eyebrows.
Mei gave birth to twin sons in only half a day that day.
In the end, the size of the twin children is small, and the birth is quite smooth, and Mei usually pays attention to walking more, so it is smoother than the ordinary one. It's just that her body is weak, and she has not recovered from the twins for several days, and now she is still resting in bed, and the child will be taken by Zheng first, and then handed over to her when she is full of two months.
"Mother, why don't you see Xiaoyu'er?" Xia Chu followed his mother out of the nephews' house and went back to Zheng's house, looking around, but he didn't see the sister who came back with him this time.
"She's resting in there!" Speaking of the youngest daughter, Zheng's face was softer, and said: "Your sister is used to sleeping over there, but she has developed a habit, she has a big temper, and don't bother her first, and when she wakes up, you two sisters will play together." ”
It's said that he has a big temper, but it's not what his family is used to? Xia Qing has always been a daughter who loves her, this is true for Xia Chu, and it is also true for Xia Yu. It's just that he always says that he is different from Zheng's, but he likes his eldest daughter more, just because this daughter has been sensible and obedient since she was a child, and she never gives him a headache like her younger daughter.
That being said, it's just a smell from afar.
Xia Qing didn't come back this time.
However, he had already decided that this time the names of the two grandsons would be chosen by him, in order to avenge the 'revenge' of the old man who rushed to name his youngest daughter. Xia Yi was speechless for a long time, but out of filial piety, he did not refuse.
Jiangyin is far away, and the people with the letter have to go back and forth for several days before they can come back, because the children are all full moon today, and they haven't taken their names seriously, but the eldest brother and the second brother are so confused.
Today is the full moon of the two brothers, and it is also the seventh day of the twelfth month and the tenth birthday of the beginning of summer.
However, because of the full moon of two nephews, her birthday was inadvertently obscured.
It's not that I forgot it, I just didn't care about it.
Xia Chu was not dissatisfied, she had eaten longevity noodles in Luo Ziqian's house in the morning, and received a few gifts two days ago - she didn't expect that Mrs. Liu would remember her birthday, because she knew that the Xia family must be very busy these days, so she ordered her eldest brother-in-law Liu Jincheng to give her a gift in advance, and the eldest sister also specially thickened her.
There are also a few handkerchiefs that I met when I went out with my aunt in the past few years, because I usually have contacts, but I just follow the flow of courtesy. However, the Dingguo General's Mansion guarded filial piety, and even asked Gu Teng, who was about to be filial piety-he was a grandson, and he only served for one year, and he was going to be removed from the service at the beginning of the year-he specially gave her some things from his daughter's home.
That generous gift, Rao was a little uneasy to receive at the beginning of the summer.
It's not that it's so valuable, it's just that it's a little too much for a little girl like her. The relationship between the two families is not how to get along, since ancient times, the civil and military forces have been light, even though the two families do not have such a habit, but they have always had very little contact.
Just like that year, after Luo Ziqian sent Gu Teng and Song Yu back to the general's mansion, the two families only gave a thank you gift, and they came and went often.
It's just a little girl's birthday, do you need to remember it like this?
This is also what Zheng wants to ask.
The old lady didn't want to say more, she just asked her to accept it, but she didn't explain anything. She came back in a hurry this time, and there were many affairs to take care of, and she had no flaws to inquire into these things, so she had to be patient with her doubts.
It was only after she came back this time that she found out that her daughter was so capable.
At that time, Mei's body was heavy, and he had no time to take care of the family's livelihood, Xia Yi was willing to help, but he still had to go to Guozijian to study, and he was not good at general affairs. Zheng's letter refers to the help of his mother-in-law or sister-in-law, even if he gives all the proceeds, it will not be a big deal.
Luo Ziqian didn't bother to touch this hand, even though the Wu family was itchy about those profits, he didn't dare to jump over his mother-in-law, so he only sent it to Xia Chu, secretly waiting for her to ask for his help.
Where can I use her at the beginning of summer?
In her previous life, the treasury was not under her control, but the emperor's private treasury was in her hands. It is also for this reason that no matter which concubine the emperor favors, no one dares to be presumptuous in front of her - which in itself represents an incomparable trust.
How big was the emperor's private treasury and how much silver did it have? Compared with the richest man in the world, of course, there are shortcomings, but there is no shortage of rare treasures, only those things, take them out but can't buy the price, meet the big seal harem of the New Year's Festival, and the reward goes out like a flowing water, how can each entry be maintained?
It is impossible to throttle, but at the beginning of the summer, it is far more first-class than others.
The emperor was happy to be cheap, and it was up to her to do it, watching his private money become richer and richer year by year, and his satisfaction with this queen was getting better and better.
It's just that these trusts are satisfied, but after all, they can't resist suspicion.
What she wanted, she never wanted.
How many Zhuangzi shops can Zheng have? It's not as much as a store at the beginning of summer, and she doesn't make many changes, but in the past few years, the price of rice and grain can't be bought, and the income of Zhuangzi is mediocre. Therefore, in April and May, in addition to the family's own use, people have been replanted with nettle cotton, both of which are treasured crops, and at the end of the year, the income of a village is actually worth two shops...... This surprised Zheng.
It's that she has been in charge of herself for so many years, and she has never dared to have such a big change, she is a little girl, but she still has the momentum, and she has changed!
When she returned, Xia Chu handed over all the account books. In the end, she is still young, and it is just a matter of commanding, it is absolutely impossible to check the accounts, the audit of the girl's family is not good-looking, that is, the father and mother of the family have to follow the food and hang!
The Zheng family got a lot of silver, and they were not stingy with their daughter, and they got a lot of private money at the beginning of the summer. She accepted it calmly, but did not tell her, she had borrowed a few months of income earlier, and bought a small shop in the capital, although the location was not good, but the business was very good, and the foreign goods were made by ships, and there were thousands of taels of silver a month.
She doesn't organize a fleet to sail across the sea, so the profits are thinner, and those who run their own foreign goods shops are more than that.
This business was only made by borrowing the east wind of the Liu family, and the name was hung in Luo Ziqian's name.
She thought that Luo Ziqian might not agree, but she didn't expect her to agree.
"When you get married, I will give you a dowry." Luo Ziqian said very casually.
Now in this family, the only people who know about this matter are Luo Ziqian and Old Man Xia. Luo Ziqian never wanted to hide her husband from her husband about these things.
She trusted him as much as he trusted her.
"The third girl is so capable, it's a pity that she was born as a daughter." When Old Man Xia first heard about it, he looked at her gaze, and Xia Chu saw regret and emotion.
His two sons, the eldest son is quite good, but in fact, in terms of qualifications, he is not very outstanding, but Luo Ziqian teaches well, plus when he encounters any major events, with their old couple giving ideas, they can hold it properly.
The youngest son, don't talk about it.
Xia Qing probably inherited Wei's honest and loyal character, and let him read, and he read it ******** carefully, whether it was good or bad, and he didn't care about it. As soon as he heard that he was the county magistrate, Old Man Xia hurriedly found two masters for him, for fear that he would not understand these things and do the wrong thing.
By the way, the official hat is okay, if it involves such a large family, what kind of face does he have to meet the ancestors of the Xia family?
Old man Xia likes the beginning of summer very much.
Not because Luo Ziqian likes it, he likes it, but because he can see the wisdom and wisdom she shows in front of his wife. Moreover, she has converged these very well, that is, the **** Xia Xue who is together is also Xia Bangqiu, and she didn't let them see a lot.
As a girl, it's also a worry to be too good.
Like her, she knows how to hide clumsily at a young age, but he appreciates her unconcealed temperament in front of people close to her.
Old Man Xia didn't know, that is, to Luo Ziqian, Xia Chu would not hide it, and after occasionally letting him run into him twice, she didn't bother to pretend, and she was still the same if she came over as someone else.
There were many guests outside, and Zheng, as the grandmother of the two children, couldn't leave for half a minute, just taking the time to take a look at the two grandchildren, so he didn't pull Xia Chu to say anything confidant, and gave a few words of optimism to his sister and nephew, and hurriedly took the maids to the lobby again.
In the evening, when the guests dispersed, he coaxed his little daughter to sleep, looking at the daughter who was still standing beside him, Zheng suddenly remembered something, and suddenly looked at Xia Chu with some guilt, and asked the mother next to him to come into the house and take a box with gold and jade, and put it in front of his daughter. "This is the birthday gift that your father specially asked you to bring back when we left, I don't know if you like it or not?"
At the beginning of the summer, I opened it and took a look, but it was a set of white jade carved jade rabbit-like heads, decorated with fine rubies, which was very beautiful.
Xia Qing has no foundation in Jiangyin, how much money can he have?
Such a set of white jade heads, although the jade quality is not the best, but it is ingenious, not to mention a few hundred taels of silver.
Father...... She really has nothing to say. (To be continued.) )
