Chapter 66: Returning Home to Visit Relatives

The people of Qi have the custom of "not raising the child in May", the people of Qi believe that May 5 is an evil day, and the baby born can not be raised by both men and women, once the child is raised, the man will harm the father, and the woman will harm the mother. If Xia Yinglan really gave birth to a child on the Dragon Boat Festival, according to the old custom, the child would have to be drowned.

Xia Qingyun didn't believe this statement, she took some spring water and helped her sister-in-law drink it.

Xia Yinglan's complexion softened, and she grabbed her hand: "Qingyun, you go and ask Wu Chen for me, in case this child is born on the Dragon Boat Festival, do you want it or not?" ”

"Sister-in-law, the child is pregnant with your hard work in October, why do you want to ask him!" Xia Qingyun was a little angry.

"If it's a girl, I'll stay." Xia Yinglan bit her lip and said worriedly: "But if it's a boy, I'm afraid of Wu Chen."

Xia Qingyun wiped the sweat on her head for her, "Sister-in-law, I'll ask him, if he dares to do it, let's stay in the Xia family and don't believe those nonsense." ”

She comforted Xia Yinglan for a while, asked her mother to accompany her, walked outside and called Wu Chen aside, and asked him if he cared about the birth and raising of children during the Dragon Boat Festival.

Wu Chen said without thinking about it: "Sue sΓΉ Yinglan, no matter if you give birth to a boy or a girl, you must raise the child!" The sage said that at the beginning of man, nature is good. There are all those wicked people in the world, who are born with them, how can I believe in the myth of the son and kill my own flesh and blood! ”

"Also," he added, "in case the situation is not good, tell Wen Po that you must save your lordship!" ”

After tossing for a day, just after midnight, Xia Yinglan gave birth to a big fat boy. Mother and child are safe. As soon as Wen Po took the child out, Wu Chen couldn't see enough of it in her hand.

Since the parents of the child are not shy about it, it is not easy for others to say much. The old lady muttered a few words, but when Wu Chen heard it, she said very unhappily: "Then Liu San'er and the second brother and the third brother are not born in the Dragon Boat Festival, and I don't think they have done anything good!" ”

Since he married Xia Yinglan, this is the first time he has put on a face. When the old lady saw that her aunt was angry, she didn't dare to say anything.

In the evening, the family came to the Ruyi Treasure Pavilion, and the Qingmei and the Xia family reunited after a long absence. Happy. Competing to soak the best Bitan drifting snow for them to taste tea.

"This tea is so fragrant!" Father and mother praised repeatedly, but Qiuyun didn't care about drinking tea, looking around for Xue'er's shadow.

"Don't look for it, it's been sleeping on Daqing Mountain for more than a month." Qingguo said. "Wait for him to wake up. Maybe it will become similar to us. ”

Qiuyun smiled: "If Xue'er becomes a human." It must be a big beauty! ”

"That's not necessarily," Qingmei said, "I went to the mountain a few days ago to see it, and it was lying there motionless." I don't see any change. ”

Qiuyun took Qingmei's hand and pouted: "I really envy you, I can go to Yuzhou with my sister, I am so big, I haven't been anywhere else except Qingchuan Town!" ”

"Although we have been to Yuzhou for a while, we have been staying in the treasure pavilion, and we can't go out as a person." Qingmei explained the reason, and counted with her fingers, "It will take about three years, and I will be able to go out to play with you in three years." However, there are no good people outside, there are so many bad people, and that hateful prefect almost killed Sister Qingyun."

Speaking of this, she remembered Xia Qingyun's instructions not to tell her family what happened in Yuzhou, and hurriedly covered her mouth.

The mother grabbed her words and didn't let go, "Qingmei, what's going on, say it quickly!" ”

Qingmei pursed her mouth and winked at Xia Qingyun, as if to say, I really didn't mean it!

Xia Qingyun had no choice but to downplay what happened to Yuzhou City.

Dad slapped his thigh, "If you don't come back after dragging it out like this, I guess something must be wrong!" Fortunately, this time it was General Zhenyuan who arrived in time, otherwise something would have happened! If you want me to say, just the income from the tea plantation, our family will not be able to spend it in the next life, so you will not go out in the future. ”

The mother glared at him, "What are you yelling at, the child has come back safely, what can't you say well." He took Xia Qingyun Qingyun's hand again, "Don't blame your father for being anxious, what he said is also reasonable, money is endless, you are a girl who is away from home, and your father and I don't have a day that we don't care!" ”

Knowing that her family would be worried about her when she learned about this, Xia Qingyun hurriedly smiled and comforted her father and mother, telling them that Zhiqiu was General Zhenyuan's guard, and she was extraordinary, and with her by her side, nothing would happen in the future.

"Besides, our tea garden has made so many teas, we have to think of selling them, don't we?"

Qingyun Tea Garden has expanded in scale this year, and only in spring it has produced 2,000 catties of high-grade tea and 5,000 catties of ordinary tea, and the warehouse is full. And most of them are not tolerant of Tieguanyin, if it can't be sold this year, it will become old tea in the next year. In order to ensure the quality of the products produced by Qingyun Tea Garden, she will never sell old tea to customers.

What's more, the tea houses and tea houses in Yuzhou City are now doing brisk business, and everything is difficult at the beginning, and with these experiences, it will not be difficult to develop them in the future.

The mother nodded and said, "That's right, thanks to the Tian family." By the way, Qingyun, can Chu You's leg be cured? It's a pity that a girl who is like a flower and jade is lame, and it will not be easy to find her in-laws in the future! ”

"I've also used spring water to help her, but it doesn't seem to work. Maybe it's because of the root of the disease that fell from childhood, and it has been too long. Xia Qingyun said regretfully.

It's not just Tian Chuyou, she is also worried about Si Hong Bowen in her heart. She once took a lot of spring water and asked the two of them to drink and wash it, but except for the enhancement of their physique, they did not see any other effect. Xia Qingyun guessed that the healing effect of spring water on external injuries is likely to be effective only in the early stage, and if the wound heals, it will be difficult to remove the scar that has already grown.

The family gossiped and discussed that the summer tea would not be picked in the future, so that although it would take more effort to take care of the tea garden, the quality of the autumn tea would be better.

After the Dragon Boat Festival, the weather is getting hotter and hotter day by day.

In the refining workshop in Tunpu, the temperature is even higher, making people sweat like rain. When the master blacksmith and the soldiers heard that these parts could be assembled into weapons to kill the barbarians, they worked even more vigorously, and none of them complained. Xia Qingyun was worried that they would suffer from heat stroke, so he ordered someone to buy a large amount of white sugar and distribute it to everyone with tea.

She took Zhiqiu to the cave where the ammunition was stored, and assembled the finished parts in the cave, and obtained a total of fifteen short guns and nineteen long guns. Several boxes of bullets were loaded with gunpowder and handed over by Zhiqiu to the people of Yingmen to be sent to the Zhenyuan military camp in the southwest.

Daddy and Hua Yun managed the tea garden and workshop in an orderly manner, but she didn't have to worry too much. The hot sale of tea in Yuzhou has also driven the business of tea utensils and tea sets. When she was in Yuzhou, she used her spare time to design many sets of new tea sets, handed them over to her father to take to the porcelain workshop, and placed orders for hundreds of sets.

The days flickered for a month, and in a blink of an eye, Xia Yinglan's son was full moon, and the Xia family set up a flowing water banquet and invited the villagers and the soldiers in the fort to drink the full moon wine.

At the banquet, Wu Chen hugged his son and said to everyone: "They all say that children born on evil days are not good, I don't believe in this evil!" I discussed with Yinglan, the child's name is Wu Zhen Evil, maybe God let him come to the world during the Dragon Boat Festival, just to suppress the evil people and evil things in the world! ”

Xia Qingyun applauded at first, and Qiuyun asked, "Uncle, my cousin still has to have a nickname, it's only kind to call it." ”

"His nickname is Kiki." Xia Yinglan took her son with a smile. Just after the confinement, she and Wu Chen moved back to their new home with their son, Xia Qingyun's mother sent two mothers-in-law to take care of her, and she didn't have to do anything, and her face was much rounder.

"Sister-in-law, let's hug Qiqi." Qiuyun and Hua Ling looked at the white and chubby baby very rarely, and they were vying to hug it.

Xia Yinglan carefully sent her son to Qiu Yun's arms, glanced at the old lady, pulled Xia Qingyun over and asked, "Have you asked General Zhenyuan, when can you let your second and third uncles come back?" ”

"When asked, the general said that the people went to the border land, and it was not under his control. However, as long as the second and third uncles don't make trouble when they get there, they will think about getting them back after a year or two. ”

"Alas, it's hard for you!" Xia Yinglan sighed, she also knew that the second brother and the third brother had gone too far, but the old lady was old, and she often sighed for these two sons, and she couldn't bear to look at it. With the general's reply, the old lady also had hope.

The summer day is humid and hot, the workshop is also on holiday, there are still more than two months before picking autumn tea, there is nothing to do, my mother found Xia Qingyun to discuss, and wanted to follow her to Yuzhou to see.

It happened that the porcelain workshop also sent hundreds of freshly fired tea sets, which needed to be sent to Yuzhou, so Xia Qingyun took his mother and Qiuyun Huayun, as well as the Hua family's sisters and brothers, and Tian Chuyou and Hua Da and others went on the road together, and his father stayed at home to take care of them.

The group was not in a hurry, and traveled all the way to Yuzhou, and it took more than half a month to arrive in Yuzhou.

The sisters and brothers of the Hua family returned to their hometown, thinking of their deceased father, and couldn't help crying sadly, which made Xia Qingyun's mother and Jiang also have red eyes.

After settling down, the family went to see the tea house and the tea house, which are no longer what they used to be, and people come and go are lively. Especially in the teahouse, it is full every day.

Hua Yun Qiuyun and the Hua family sisters and brothers listened to Tian Zhenyu's Journey to the West, and after returning home, they pestered him to come to the script to read, but they didn't know many words in it, and they felt bored after reading it for a while.

Xia Qingyun discussed with his mother and sent a few of them to the academy to study, but within a few days of going, several children pouted and were reluctant to go.

Hua Yun said: "Although I can read some words in the academy, those articles are all for the purpose of testing fame, and they are not practical for us at all!" ”

Hua Shu also pouted and protested: "That's right, those masters are full of mouths, so people just want to sleep, it's better to go to the teahouse to listen to Uncle Tian's speech!" ”

Xia Qingyun rubbed his temples helplessly, what they said made sense, after all, the academy was opened for those students who wanted to take a career in the mountains, and it didn't sound attractive to Hua Yun and the children who were used to running in the mountains. However, she couldn't be illiterate, and after thinking about it, she decided to write a few practical textbooks based on the example of her previous life. (To be continued......)
