296. Three baptisms

The flower hall not far from the bedroom was full of joy, and Princess Changping was full of joy holding the baby in her arms and looking at the hand of the string singer, and asked, "Is this a girl or a boy?" Qu Lianxing covered her lips and smiled: "Princess, it is the little boy who is holding the unicorn pattern, and it is the little lady who is embroidering the crane pattern." ”

Princess Changping saw that she was naturally holding a little girl in her hand. Although Zhengxiang is sleeping with his eyes closed, his little face is still red, but he still can't put it down. Looking at the grandson in the hands of the string song boy, Princess Changping only felt extremely satisfied.

The young man of the string song happily hugged the baby in his hand, raised his eyebrows and said, "It turned out to be a kid?" "Turning his head to look at the baby in Princess Changping's arms, the kid must have a virtue with Wei Junmo when he grows up, and he is still the cutest little sister who kisses him.

In fact, no matter who the two babies look like, they must be very beautiful.

The old man had already seen the opportunity, and took advantage of the break up of the string singer and snatched the little doll directly from him. It's not that the son of the string song can't snatch the uncle, but in the end, he is the master who teaches his medical skills, and there is a master next to him who is eyeing him.

Xiao Qianjiong looked over there, looked at this side, and finally decisively came to Princess Changping's side, "Auntie, this is the little niece." It's so lovely."

How could Princess Changping not know what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "The children who have just been born are like this, and they will be beautiful in a few days." ”

With Xiao Qianjiong as an example, everyone also followed. The sleeping baby was about a little uncomfortable by the onlookers, and suffocated her little mouth and chirped twice, Princess Changping hurriedly drove people away, patting her little granddaughter's swaddling clothes lovingly and humming softly to coax her.

"Ahem. Changping, let the third brother take a look at the child. King Yan, who was sitting on the main seat, finally couldn't help it, and coughed lightly. It's not that he loves girls more than boys, but he knows that even if he opens his mouth, the third brother on the other side may not let go of him. Anyway, both men and women have it, so let's hug what you can hold first.

Princess Changping nodded and carefully put the baby into King Yan's hands. What is surprising is that King Yan is no stranger to holding children, which makes a strange year flash in the minds of the three brothers of the Xiao family. Could it be that my father often hugged us back then? The picture was so beautiful that they didn't dare to think about it.

King Yan also noticed the strange gaze of everyone, and explained: "This king has hugged the fourteenth brother and the seventh sister before. ”

Well, at that time, Daxia hadn't seen it yet, and His Royal Highness King Yan was not yet the prince, so it was probably impossible to say which younger brother or sister he had taken care of.

King Yan didn't care what everyone thought, and looked down at the little girl in his arms. The little brows furrowed slightly, and the small mouth occasionally smashed the bar and slept very sweetly. Yan Wang couldn't help but stretch out a finger to touch the baby's little hand, which was so soft and tender that people's hearts couldn't help but soften. King Yan's always graceful and dignified face also had a gentle smile on it.

In the hall, looking at the appearance of King Yan holding the child, Zhu Chuyu frowned slightly. King Yan inevitably paid too much attention to these two children, not to mention that he was still holding a girl in his hand. Xiao Qianchi's daughter in King Yan's mansion is almost two years old, let alone hugging her, I'm afraid that King Yan hasn't seen it a few times.

King Yan hugged the baby and looked at Princess Changping and asked, "How did you discuss the names of the two children?" ”

Princess Changping understood what King Yan meant, and just smiled: "I'm afraid that this will have to be discussed with their father." Third brother, you know me, and I can't come up with any good names. ”

King Yan said: "In this case, the names of the two children are here."

"No need." Outside the door, Wei Junmo walked in wearing the green clothes he wore when he came back. King Yan raised his eyebrows, "What's not to use?" ”

Wei Junmo said: "The child's name and I have already chosen it. ”

His Royal Highness King Yan sneered, "You two have no experience, what good name can you come up with?" This king asked the abbot of Lingquan Temple to help calculate a good name. ”

Wei Junmo looked at him disapprehantly, as if you could choose a good name? The name of the Xiao family is a thousand words in the middle, and His Royal Highness King Yan has the last word at most. It's all on fire. He had to suspect that King Yan had directly written a bunch of words with fire, and then grabbed two of them from them.

Receiving his nephew's disdainful eyes, King Yan gritted his teeth angrily, "Okay, this king wants to see what good name you have chosen?" ”

Wei Gongzi raised his eyebrows and said, "The girl's name is Zhuohua, and her nickname is young." The boy taught Jing Shao, nicknamed An An. ”

"Forget about the girl, what is An An?" Is it really appropriate for a boy to be called by such a name, and he may be called from childhood to adulthood?

Princess Changping lowered her eyebrows and smiled: "I think it's pretty good, it's best to be safe." ”

Grandma has no opinion, and uncles naturally can't have opinions. So, the names of the two babies were so "hastily" decided. A few people who had already secretly prepared several names had to retract their plans stupidly, and secretly scolded Wei Junmo in their hearts for being despicable, and they started so quickly.

Nangong Xu, who was sitting on the side, smiled helplessly, compared with these people in front of him, his own uncle was the least speakable.

Finally sent everyone away, Wei Junmo returned to the room, and Nangong Mo had just used the porridge under the service of Zhishu Mingqin. Seeing Wei Junmo come in and look behind him again, "What about the child?" ”

Wei Junmo said: "In the next room, my mother stayed there to take care of them. ”

"How's that going to work? What should I do if I am tired of my mother? Nangong Mo frowned. Wei Junmo shook his head and said, "There is a nurse watching, no." Mother was delighted. "For the sake of these two children, both Yanwangfu and Princess Changping have made sufficient preparations, and the nurse alone has found four. The girls and mothers-in-law who take care of them are also carefully selected by Princess Changping and Mama Lan, where can there be any problems?

Nangong Mo thought about it, it was getting late at this time, and the two babies had just been born, so they wouldn't make a fuss.

Lean against the edge of the bed.

Leaning on the edge of the bed, watching Wei Junmo wash by himself, he asked, "You come back now, are you okay in the army?" ”

Wei Junmo shook his head, if something happens, he will have an accident if he stays in the army, and there is no difference between Lin Changfeng and Jian Qiuyang.

Nangong Mo said: "I always feel that the peaceful days will not last long. Fortunately, the baby has now been born. In fact, she has been a little worried these days, if the baby is not born Xiao Qianye will do something to Yanwangfu, it will be troublesome.

Wei Junmo walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, and said softly: "Don't worry, even if there is anything, Youzhou City will be fine." Mother said that what you have to do now is to concentrate on confinement and recuperate your body. ”

Nangong Mo shrugged, "Okay, you're right. I can't do much right now. ”

"With me, you, the baby, and the mother will be fine."

"Well, I believe you." Nangong Mo leaned into his arms and laughed softly.

After the birth of a child, the first and most important thing is to prepare for the three baptisms. But Nangong Mo didn't need to worry about these things, and she didn't even need to come forward, Princess Changping was already preparing before she was born. Although His Royal Highness King Yan wanted to let the three baptisms be held in King Yan's mansion, he was mercilessly rejected by Princess Changping and Gongzi Wei. In the end, I had to settle in the Qingmo Garden. Fortunately, the Qingmo Garden is also large enough to entertain guests. Princess Changping was happy to get twin grandchildren, and the wives in Youzhou City naturally came to cheer one after another, and the always quiet Qingmo Garden suddenly became lively.

No matter how lively the front yard is, Nangong Mo doesn't care, she can only sit on the head of the bed at this time and watch everyone play with the baby. A large cradle carved from rosewood is covered with a soft and comfortable mattress, and the two babies lie side by side in the cradle and fall asleep. The adults don't feel cold on April Day, but the children are still a little worried about getting cold, and they are each covered with a small embroidered quilt.

What Wen Po said is really good, it has only been three days, and the little bun that was still red and wrinkled has actually grown white and tender. The most surprising thing is that the two babies actually look exactly the same, and if you don't look at the swaddling clothes, you can't tell which is a boy and which is a girl.

Sun Yan'er sat on the edge of the bed, curiously teasing the baby in the cradle and sighed: "It's so beautiful, I like it so much, I want to hug it" but she didn't dare, as long as she thought of the soft little thing in her hand, she felt powerless and couldn't even move. What should I do if I am afraid that I will break the baby if I use too much force?

Xue Xiaoxiao next to him rolled his eyes and said, "Third Young Lady, aren't you going to give birth in recent years?" Just touch your own belly, and leave the two babies to us people. ”

Qin Xi'er sat on the side and covered her lips and snickered. Although she has just come to Youzhou, Qin Xi'er is only in poor health, not a cowardly and introverted person, but has a good relationship with Sun Yan'er, Xue Xiaoxiao and others. Qin Xi looked at Xue Xiaoxiao and smiled: "I heard that many people's wives have come to the door to ask to marry Miss Xue." So, leave the baby to me. ”

Xue Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes and snorted lightly, "This girl is not that interested." What's more, what if the baby in the future is not as beautiful as the little boy and the little lady? Seeing that she seemed to be seriously thinking about this issue, everyone couldn't help but laugh. However, Sun Yan'er was more experienced, and gently stroked her abdomen and said, "I think that as long as it is my child, no matter what it is, I like him the most." ”

Nangong Mo smiled: Yan'er is right, what do you little girl know and are worrying about these things? ”

Xue Xiaoxiao made a grimace, lying on the edge of the cradle and making a grimace at the baby, poking the little face, etc., but unfortunately the two babies were sleepy and didn't pay attention to her.

"I've seen the county lord, the third young lady." Outside the door, Qu Lianxing came over with two nurses and said with a smile: "County Lord, the outside is about to start, the princess will let the little boy and the little lady take it out." ”

Nangong Mo looked at the baby, waved his hand and said, "I'm still asleep, let's go." ”

The two nurses carefully picked up the baby and walked out, and Sun Yan'er and others also stood up. At the baptismal ceremony, they naturally have to add pots. Xue Xiaoxiao looked back at Nangong Mo who was sitting on the bed and said with a smile: "It's a pity, county lord, you can't see the baby washing three." ”

Nangong Mo smiled and said, "It's okay, I can also watch other people's children wash three in the future." She deliberately said the three words of others more heavily, and Xue Xiaoxiao immediately reacted, her face turned red, and she stomped her feet angrily and ran out quickly. Nangong Mo shrugged, well, it's a bit bullying to make this kind of joke to a girl who is not married yet.

"Cousin-in-law, let's go out first, and I'll come back to accompany you later." Sun Yan'er pulled Qin Xi and smiled.

Nangong Mo nodded, and suddenly remembered something, "By the way, you help me sue Wei Junmo." Dare to let people touch my daughter's ears, I'm not done with him! She actually knows now that girls in this era have to wear ears three days after birth. Thinking of the fluffy little bun, I was reluctant to poke it a little harder, and someone dared to pierce her earlobe with a needle. As long as he thought about it, Nangong Mo couldn't help but want to pinch the other party to death. As for what to do with the baby without piercing ears? Miss Nangong said that there is no need to worry, it is okay to talk about it when you grow up. What's more, with her medical skills, she can achieve painless ear piercing after the baby grows up.

Sun Yan'er was stunned and blinked. Nangong Mo said firmly: "You must say it!" ”

Sun Yan'er nodded hurriedly: My cousin-in-law looks so scary.

When Sun Yan'er and Qin Xi went out, the hall was already bustling, a neat and neat midwife's grandmother was standing aside with her baby in her arms, and there were more than a dozen statues of various unrecognizable gods related to childbirth and children on the main seat in the hall. In the center of the hall is a finely carved washbasin, but it is much larger than what ordinary people see. Obviously, the two babies are going to come together, anyway, they are twins, and Princess Changping has no meaning of preference for sons, all the treatment of granddaughters and grandchildren is the same, and even more love for the little granddaughter......

King Yan and Princess Yan added things to the basin first, and they were both double. King Yan sent two pieces of jade, and Princess Yan sent a pair of locks. After them, the three sons and three ladies of the Yan Wangfu also gave their own gifts. Nangong Mo's master, uncle, and brother naturally can't be left behind. The old man waved his hand very generously, and put a string of purple pearl chains and a small jade Ruyi inlaid with night pearls. Uncle Shi gave two sets of animal dolls, both of which were set of twelve. But one is gold and the other is jade. Everyone present twitched the corners of their mouths, these two people looked inconspicuous and didn't like to deal with people, but this local tyrant's general style made them a little embarrassed to show their gifts. Not to mention this, it is definitely the best jade, excellent carving. Let's just say that the gold set, each one is at least two inches high, and it doesn't look like it's hollow. Twelve add up, at least a few hundred taels, is this kind of thing really okay as a toy for a newborn baby?

Also, this one tossed it lightly, if they hadn't seen it obvious that the basin that washed the third was almost shaking unbearably. I'm afraid that I think what he threw in is just a gadget in the gold and jade.

Later, Nangong Xu, the son of the string song, also added some things himself. Nangong Xu was exiled by Xiao Qianye, and then came to Youzhou, naturally not as heroic as the son of the string song, but it was not rude. The young man of the string song glanced at Wei Junmo, who had been sitting for a hundred years, and put a black token and a night pearl into it.

Wei Junmo's eyes touched and raised his eyebrows thoughtfully. glanced at the string singer and ignored him.

The rest are the ladies and gentlemen of various families, and they have all stepped forward to add pots. There are those who send gold locks and gold bracelets, and there are also those who directly send gold ingots and jade pendants. Although they were all henchmen of Yanwangfu, Rao was so washed, and half of the three pots were also filled. Seeing the midwife's grandmother next to her, she couldn't help but straighten her eyes.

After adding a basin, it is the beginning of the washing three, with the birth grandmother chanting the congratulations one by one, while washing the baby three. The only difference between boys and girls is probably that girls have their ears pierced. Because of the "threat" from Nangong Mo that Sun Yan'er had already relayed, Wei Gongzi couldn't help frowning. Looking at the bright needle in the hand of the midwife, Wei Gongzi got up directly and stopped the midwife.

"What is this for?" Everyone couldn't help but be stunned, looking at Wei Gongzi with an unswerving face.

The string singer raised his eyebrows and smiled silently.

Princess Yan was also stunned and couldn't help but smile and said: "Jun Mo, this is the rule, I'm afraid I can't bear to let my daughter suffer." "The girl's house is going to pierce the ears, in the eyes of more adults, at this time the baby is still young and does not know the pain, but it is better than when he grows up.

Wei Junmo said in a deep voice: "This is not necessary. ”

The midwife's grandmother was stunned, it was the first time she had encountered this situation in so many years. I had to say: "Childe, this is the rule." The little lady has a noble status, how can she not pierce her ears? "Even those poor girls can't afford earrings, earrings, and these accessories will want to pierce their ears, even if they buy a worthless one.

"No, you don't." Wei Junmo said calmly, "You don't have to worry about this matter, continue." ”

Go on, I haven't even done this last night. But seeing Wei Gongzi's cold purple eyes, as if to say, "If you dare to prick my daughter, I will poke you with a hundred needles." The midwife's grandmother still silently gave in.

Everyone present also reacted, it turned out that they were reluctant to have their daughter. couldn't help but chuckle, but he also marveled in his heart that Wei Gongzi looked very indifferent, but he didn't expect that he was a good father who loved his daughter.

Finally, after finishing the three baptismal ceremonies, the midwife's grandmother secretly wiped a handful of sweat, said a pair of auspicious words, took the reward money and went down to drink tea. As for the gifts in the basin, she didn't dare to be delusional, so many things even if she was afraid of ten lifetimes, she couldn't earn them. If you are greedy for blessings that do not belong to you, you will summon retribution.

The two babies were hugged by the nurse again, and Princess Changping and Princess Yan also got up and beckoned everyone to the front hall for a banquet. Wei Junmo, Xiao Qianchi and the others were naturally about to prepare to greet the male guests, but before everyone went out, they heard a somewhat prickly voice from outside the door, "The holy decree has arrived!" His Royal Highness King Yan receives the order! ”
