Chapter 152: Miscellaneous Matters III
Ten days later, Wen gave birth to a small dot of five catties and six taels and named him Wang Shenxing. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
When I got to wash the third, the family in Chuzhou was a little far away, so only a few people came sparsely, and the gifts they took were lackluster, just brown sugar, eggs, and the like. There was no one in the second room, so I only asked someone to help bring the gift.
It's the Liu family, Zhang's concubine and the four have arrived, and the Zhang family also specially brought Rui Ge'er's confinement clothes over, "They are all cleaned and put there, a few days ago, I specially asked people to boil a dish in boiling water, and it was dried for two days, and the child was dressed softer." β
Wen smiled gratefully.
"Don't be embarrassed, Jingjing used to wear what her brother wore when she was a child, and then she wore it for Brother Bao, and then Brother Rui wore ......it again," Zhang said.
Gu Shi was afraid that she would not understand, so he explained: "There are many children who wear them, and there are groups. "Probably it means having more children and more blessings.
Wang Jing took the dress in her hand and looked at it, "Why is it still the same as new?" β
Gu said: "Children grow up fast, and they can't wear them in a few days." "Of course, it won't all be used in the old ones, and there are a lot of people who haven't been on it at all, so she naturally won't dismantle Zhang's stage at this time.
The noon banquet is made by the chef who eats Baiwei, and in addition to the wine and food, it is to wash the three noodles. Tu, who was invited by his grandmother, had lunch and held a "washing three" ceremony. The family put the copper basin containing the soup made into the soup with acacia sticks and mugwort leaves on the kang, Tu picked up the child, and the women of the family began to add water to the basin, adding guiyuan, lychees, red dates, peanuts, chestnuts and other happy fruits......
Wang Jing only then did she know that Tu was still quite able to speak, and when she added water, she said that "rich as the long flowing water of the East China Sea", and Tian Guiyuan became "Lianzhong Sanyuan". There were also people who put silver coins and copper, and the Zhang family also put silver coins.
When everyone put it away, I saw Tu Shi take a mallet and stir it in the basin, and said: "One stir, two stirs, three stirs, my brother leads my younger brother to run." Seventy, eighty, crooked, naughty, sighing and snoring! β
After washing, the godly money and grain are invited together with the incense root, sent to the courtyard for incineration, and then the child's parents and relatives are congratulated, which is actually to ask for money.
Wang Weiping gave Zhang fifty taels of silver tickets, and those families only touched a few paulownia boards to come out. It was Wang Jing's turn, thinking of Tu's hard work these days, and gave two silver tickets of ten taels, but something would happen if she thought about it.
"Yo, which child is this, who came to participate in the washing at such a young age?" The second old lady said. Her husband is Wang Weiping's cousin.
"Mother, this is the girl who is recorded in the name of the first sister-in-law Zhao, and now she is helping Brother Ping to take care of the housekeeper, and she is not a guest who participates in the washing of the three." Her daughter-in-law said.
"Can she take care of the house? As soon as he made a move, it was twenty taels of silver, and the loser was about the same. If you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, you don't know how expensive they are The second old lady said.
There are about fifty taels of things to wash the three pots, and these things are all owned by the grandmother, so it's no wonder that the second old lady is so red that she is looking for ballast. Actually, she didn't just think of looking for ballast now, after all, before leaving, Wang Weichuan's family gave her ten taels of silver, and this named wild seed actually gave out twenty taels of silver as soon as she made a move!
Wang Jing laughed, "The second old lady misunderstood, these twenty taels of silver represent the dignity of our Wang family, how can my brother say that he is also the eldest son and eldest grandson of our house, and it is not too much to give two more twenty taels, but unfortunately I am young and can't do such a big thing." β
Wen's Wang Jing said: "Aunt Tu left a group of children in the family to take care of me here, she should indeed give her another forty taels, the silver money is in the drawer here, my sister will help me give it to her, and then you will take another twenty taels as pocket money, you come to the Wang family to take care of me day and night, I am really a little embarrassed to spend your money." β
Wang Jing said: "Sister, where is this, the little nephew is so cute, he washed three of me, who is not much to be an aunt, there is always a little, and it is finally a heart." β
Only then did everyone understand the meaning of Wen's words, Wang Jing's money was her own, and how she spent her love was her own business, and others couldn't control it.
However, the second old lady doesn't know how to accept it when she sees it, and always wants to get back the lost face.
"She didn't give her money yet, let her act as a faΓ§ade, who are you bluffing?" She sneered.
"They're my brother and my sister, give me a few little money to spend, do I still want to push them out? When you are old, just take care of it, don't spend too much thought. Wang Jing said with a well-behaved face.
The second old lady understood that Wang Jing was asking her not to worry about the housework here.
She didn't want to see Wang Jing, but she didn't dare to offend Wang Weiping and his wife, after all, they were the richest people in the Wang family. Even if Wang Weiping stops moving from then on, she is still a person, and she is the object of everyone in the Wang family who wants to stammer, otherwise she would not have brought some people to come over from afar, to put it bluntly, she just wanted to fight the autumn wind.
It would be fine if Wang Weiping's sister-in-law said this, but how could she dare to do this as a named wild seed?
Now seeing the Wen family's appearance of defending Wang Jing, they didn't dare to act rashly, after all, they were the ones who asked for the Wen family, not the Wen family who asked for them.
The second old lady turned her mind, immediately laughed again, and no longer paid attention to Wang Jing, and said to Wen's: "A woman's confinement is a big deal, and it will not be good if she falls ill, if you need help, let your sister-in-law take care of you here for a while." The sister-in-law in her mouth is naturally her daughter-in-law.
There are a group of servants in this house, and it is said that they are taking care of them, but in fact, they are just talking about it, maybe they don't have to do anything, and they are served with good food and drink. The daughter-in-law stayed to take care of people, and her old lady naturally stayed together, and it was the time of the change of seasons, clothes and jewelry must be indispensable, and the joy of coaxing Wen's may be entangled when he leaves.
Unexpectedly, Wen glanced at the second old lady with a smile, and immediately refused, "Don't bother you, Jingjing will take care of us, she has always taken care of me before, and I am quite used to it." β
The second old lady frowned: "She's just a little girl who hasn't reached the end of her life, she can't take care of herself herself, how can she take care of you?"
Wang Jing is funny and angry, I can't control if you want to seek some benefits, but if you want to step on me to seek some benefits, I'm afraid it's not so easy, right?
"The old lady is afraid that she has forgotten, but I am a disciple of the divine doctor, and it is not a problem to take care of a pregnant woman." Wang Jing said with a smile.
The second old lady still wanted to insist, but saw that Wen had closed her eyes tiredly.
Wang Jing smiled and said, "I'll go and see the gift for the second old lady?" β
As soon as she heard that there was a "ceremony", the second old lady didn't care about anything else, and asked Wen to rest well.
After a while, I saw many servants carrying things over, and a servant woman who looked like a butler followed, and said, "The girl has prepared the gift for the old lady, and I will help you put it in the carriage." β
This is a disguised drive away.
However, for the sake of things, the old lady was reluctant to go, so she had to give up.
Twenty taels of silver tickets, four-colored snacks, and four pieces of muslin.
After all, he is the elder of the family, and he can only admit it when he comes to fight the autumn wind, even if the Liu family comes to the door every year.
By the time Wang Shen arrived to lie there and play with the drum, it was already half a year of the first month, and the weather was warmer than the previous year. (To be continued.) )
