Chapter II
On that day, the Queen Mother couldn't help but be overjoyed when she got the good news, and immediately rewarded something, including some children's things, golden locks and jade ruyi, small combs, etc., as well as silk and medicinal materials that were rewarded to Yongtai.
On the day of washing, the guests gathered, the midwife washed the child's hair, the eldest sister cried loudly, and the guests congratulated the old lady, saying that the child was healthy and blessed.
The old lady was happy all day, and the old man also gave the name down, Mingzhu.
Shangguan Mingzhu, which means a pearl of my Shangguan family, Yongtai's face showed joy when he learned about it, indicating that his father-in-law also likes and values her children.
In the blink of an eye, Yongtai was out of confinement, and the child grew a little, becoming more and more beautiful and white, and was liked by the old lady and the whole family, and even the father-in-law had to see the child every day before going to the study.
On this day, Yongtai was talking to Mama, and the two children ran in one after the other, "Mother, is my sister asleep, I want to see my sister." The little one rushed in like a monkey.
The big one is more calm, so I will give Yongtai a salute first.
"My son asks my mother for peace, my mother is in good health today, how is my sister?" The boy is not very old, five or six years old, he looks more like Shangguan Hao, and his demeanor is much calmer.
This is Shangguan Hao's eldest son, Brother Yu, the youngest one is only more than four years old, just enlightened, named Brother Qi's second son, both of whom are Yongtai's biological sons.
"Come, it's not cold today, my mother is fine, your sister eats happily, eats, sleeps, eats, grows." Yongtai beckoned his two sons over, touched his hands and back, and was relieved to see that he was not sweating.
"It's not cold, it's not cold today." Brother Yu led his younger brother to sit on the kang, looking at the little bun pearl, teasing him from time to time.
"Now that the master has taught everything, have you listened carefully?" Yongtai asked.
"I went back, I wrote three big characters today, and my brother also wrote two words."
"Mother, the master praised me today." Brother Qi immediately asked Yongtai for credit.
"Well, my son is smart, my mother will reward you with suckling pigeons today, and pumpkin fritters to eat." Yongtai happily hugged his son and kissed him.
Brother Qi squinted and smiled with satisfaction, lying on the kang and poking Mingzhu's face with his hand, Mingzhu was poked painfully, grinning and crying, so frightened that Brother Qi retracted his hand left and right to see if anyone was paying attention to him.
"Hehehe, Brother Qi can't bully his sister, my sister is still young, she can't stand your poke, she is her own sister, you have to protect her." Yongtai pulled Brother Qi over and wiped his hands and whispered.
"Well, I'm my brother, and I'm going to protect my sister." Brother Qi happily raised his little fist and swore an oath.
Brother Qi is very happy to be an elder brother, he has always been managed by his eldest brother, and it is easy to be a brother, the third brother is younger than him, but it is too small to be fun, and he has to be taken by his grandmother wherever he goes.
"This is my mother's good son." Yongtai was also happy to hug his son and kiss him.
After a while, Guan Hao entered the door, "What did you three say?" ā
"Brother Qi is an elder brother, and he can protect his sister." Yongtai got off the kang and took off Shangguan Hao's coat and changed into a homely robe.
"Yo, my son has grown up and is sensible." Shangguan Hao was pleasantly surprised.
"Why did you come back so early today?" Yongtai personally poured a cup of tea and handed it over.
"A few colleagues went to play with stones together, and I picked a particularly good stone, mutton fat white jade with skin, which was not variegated at all. The key is to have good luck and hit it at a glance. Turning around, I asked someone to carve something for the three children to carve and bring with me, it's rare for me to have such a good hand. "Shangguan Hao is in a very good mood today, and he is even a little kind to his son.
"Then dare to be kind, make a jade for our pearl and wear it. My mother said that I want to go to incense in the next few days, and I also want to calculate it for Mingzhu. Yongtai talked about this stubble.
"Okay, go ahead, bring more people."
That night, Shangguan Hao pointed out the words of his sons, admonished his son a few words, hugged his daughter and teased him non-stop, only kissing his daughter was not enough.
The next day, Yongtai and the old lady went to the temple to incense, Yongtai also asked for a hexagram for his daughter, but he didn't expect it to be signed, and the monk explained that this woman was rich and noble, and it was a little lucky star's life.
Yongtai also heard this often, although he didn't believe it in his heart, he still smiled and gave the sesame oil money, and he was still very happy.
After going back, he also said to Shangguan Hao, "The master said that our daughter is a lucky star." She looked a little smug.
"Just talk about it at home, don't go out and talk about it, it's not easy for my daughter's family to show off." Shangguan Hao told his wife.
"I know that our daughter is the life of a rich and noble life, which is not unusual. I'm not going to say it, and I'm not stupid. ā
"After a few days, the weather will be warm, and the Queen Mother said that she would like to see Mingzhu, you take the child to see it, and take care of it." Shangguan Hao admonished.
"I know, it's no big deal to go to the Queen Mother's Palace." Yongtai pursed his lips and nodded with a smile.
Two months passed, the sky gradually warmed up, and Yongtai took the child and the grandmother into the palace.
"Yongtai greets the Queen Mother. I wish you good health, Queen Mother. Yongtai smiled and said goodbye to the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother has a kind face, and it can be seen that her appearance when she was young was also extremely outstanding.
"Hurry up, that's a pearl, let the mourners see it." The Queen Mother waved her hand and shouted, but she stared at Mingzhu non-stop.
The grandmother hurriedly hugged the child, and the Queen Mother reached out to pick it up and put it in her arms to look at it carefully.
Mingzhu had already turned her head, looked at the Queen Mother and spit bubbles, and smiled very face-savingly, but she was so happy that the Queen Mother seemed to be something.
"Mingzhu is the eldest daughter of my Shangguan family, and she has to be carefully raised, but it's easy to bring?" The Queen Mother was reluctant to let go of the child while holding the child.
"It's good to bring, this kid is very good at taking light yƬ and doesn't like to cry, and he hummed twice when he peed. Very well-behaved. Yongtai said with a gesture of his hand.
"Well, this kid is a blessed one, bring it in for me to see when he's older." The Queen Mother looked at Mingzhu with a loving face.
"That dare is good, I'm afraid that her villain will disturb your purity." Yongtai smiled.
"No, what I like is like something." The Queen Mother shook the pearl and fell asleep after a while.
The Queen Mother and Yongtai were talking while holding the child, but Mingzhu was a little surprised, it turned out that she could still be reincarnated, this time it seemed that she was a daughter of a family.
It turned out that Mingzhu was a princess of the Tang Dynasty before, and after her death, she didn't know why she couldn't be reincarnated, and she had been wandering around the Forbidden City, seeing the life and death of the palace and the change of many dynasties, I thought it would go on forever, but I didn't expect to be sucked in by the black vortex one day and night, and then wake up to be a baby.
Mingzhu had a very high status as a princess in her life, and later died of a sudden illness, and she didn't suffer any pain, and she was very happy to be reborn, not to mention that her parents in this life also loved her very much.
Mingzhu felt that as long as she didn't die, she should be able to live well.
Four years have passed, Mingzhu is five years old, she started to dress up early in the morning, and the old lady wants to take her into the palace to visit the Queen Mother.
In the past two years, the Queen Mother has been very good to her, rewarding her with many things, and she is also very fond of her.
