Chapter 242: A Visit to Shin Kong City
In the next few days, these sons and brothers went to visit Xinguang City under the leadership of Chen Wenjun. Chen Wenlin also followed. Although this Xinguang City will be the residence of Xiao Chen's family in the future, it is the first time he has arrived, so he just took this opportunity to take advantage of it to appreciate it.
When everyone was attending the banquet, Chen Wenhui had already returned to her small courtyard and dressed up. Life on a ship is not as convenient as life on flat ground, and the most prominent thing is the problem of bathing. Of course, because of the needs of these noble girls and sons, the captain prepared a lot of water, so Chen Wenhui could still bathe with a small bucket every day. But after all, it doesn't feel like it's convenient in your own yard.
Chen Wenhui's bathroom in this courtyard was designed by Chen Wenhui himself, not only is it large, but also has a sauna room, in which stones are put in it, and it is hot, and then water is splashed on the stones, and you can steam the sauna. The whole sauna is polished with a kind of crystal stone that is a specialty of Yizhou Island, this stone is hard, it is estimated to be a kind of quartz stone, although it is not marble, but it looks beautiful, after polishing, a decoration, it looks very luxurious and beautiful.
Chen Wenhui took a comfortable bath here, soaked in a petal bath with flower petals, dried her hair, dressed up refreshed, and went to her sister-in-law Wan's yard. She has long been like seeing her eldest brother's daughter, her little niece.
Behind him was Chen Wenhui's nurse, as well as the master Wu Lixia, and the four big maids Yujin. The jade brocades are holding clips one by one. Some of the clips contained Chen Wenhui's gifts to her little niece, and some contained account books, Chen Wenhui planned to tell Wan's about Baojingfang.
There were also four or five rough envoys, carrying heavy gold-painted chests, which were when they left the capital. A gift from the Bai family for his little granddaughter.
Wan had already gotten the news and knew that the sister-in-law was coming, so he hurriedly took the maid to greet him at the door.
As soon as Chen Wenhui and Wan Shi saw each other, they hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, don't talk to me about false etiquette, I'm waiting to see my little niece." â
Wan smiled and took Chen Wenhui to the wing room on the left, where the baby Chen Shanling lived. Everyone's girl, as soon as she was born. This girl. Wet nurses, upbringing mothers, and rough mothers-in-law have all been equipped a long time ago.
Chen Wenhui was attracted when she saw the little Chen Shanling. This little girl. It's not as ugly as Wan said, on the contrary, she's beautiful, pink and tender, and. It's fat, and it looks very cute. Chen Wenhui couldn't help but reach out to hug it. The nurse and others next to her were frightened, after all, Chen Wenhui was also a child herself, only eleven years old, although she was already very tall. It's a little taller than Wan's, but, as a girl for everyone. Where have you ever held a child, and what if you hurt a child?
Where to know. Chen Wenhui's holding posture is very standard, letting the baby lie diagonally in the crook of her arm, which is very stable, even Wan Shi has not hugged so well. Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and their hearts began to be surprised, why is Chen Wenhui a little girl, holding the child so steadily, as if she is very skilled?
In fact, Chen Wenhui used to be a volunteer in her previous life, helped in an orphanage, and held a lot of small babies, so her movements are very skillful, and they are all trained, which is very standard.
Chen Wenhui hugged it with one hand, touched the face of the little good spirit with the other, and said, "What a little beauty, why does my sister-in-law still say that she is ugly?" â
Wan Shi smiled and said: "Compared with ordinary children, it is okay, but for our Chen family, which has many beauties, it is ugly, and it is far worse than my aunt." â
The Chen family is really a place of beauty, not to mention anything else, there are three favored Chen family members in the palace. Wan Shi said this is also the truth, of course, he also praised Chen Wenhui.
Chen Wenhui was about to speak, suddenly, Xiao Shanling woke up, this time he opened his eyes, the whole person was immediately different, those eyes were big and bright, and the clear lake water was like this, Chen Wenhui couldn't help but be a little surprised and said: "Oh, these eyes are so beautiful, like who?" Why does it look so familiar, well, I don't feel it when I fall asleep, so when I open my eyes, I look very familiar, but it's not like her father and mother? â
Chen Wenhui's wet nurse came over to take a look at it and said, "Girl, I think the little girl looks very much like Madame." â
When everyone said this, everyone suddenly realized, Chen Wenhui laughed and said: "When the nurse said this, I can also see that it is really like a mother, it turns out that we are good at being like a grandmother." When she grows up, she's a big beauty, you know? Your grandmother was a great beauty. â
Wan Shi laughed when he heard this and said, "Your eldest brother said the same thing. He has long said that good spirits are like mothers, and he also said that when he grows up, he must be like his mother and a big beauty. Your eldest brother also said that his mother has grown older in recent years, and when he was a child, his mother was more beautiful. I hope that when we grow up, we can be as beautiful as our mothers. â
Chen Wenhui was overjoyed and said: "Mother doesn't know that the good spirit is like her, if she knows, she must be very happy." By the way, this time I came, and my mother prepared a lot of things for the good spirits, so you can go and see them later. By the way, I'm going to draw a picture of the good soul and send it to my mother, who wants to know what her first granddaughter looks like. â
Wan Shi listened and thanked him and said, "Thank you, mother." Since before the good spirit spoke, my mother has rewarded too many things, almost every time I bring a letter from the capital, I follow a bunch of things, and our little good spirit has now become a little rich sister. â
Chen Wenhui laughed and said: "There is no way, the good spirit is now loved by thousands of people, who made her the first child in the third generation." We don't want to pamper other children. â
As she was talking, Xiao Shanling began to talk about it, and everyone was attracted to her at once. It's all gone. After a while, the nurse of the good spirit said, "Girl, you have been holding you for so long, you should be tired, so you should give it to the slave maid." â
Wan also said the same, and Chen Wenhui reluctantly handed over the child to the wet nurse.
Wan said, "Wen Hui, let's go to my place to talk, and the nurse will also breastfeed the good spirit." â
Chen Wenhui said: "Yes, I forgot that a child as old as JĂŹ has to eat more, because he can only eat milk, so he has to eat many times a day." We won't bother her. â
As he spoke, he kissed Xiao Shanling in the nurse's arms, and then returned to Wan's main house with Wan's people.
When I arrived at Wan's main room, Wan's had already prepared refreshments, and Wan's said, "Don't eat dim sum, drink some flower tea, and we're going to eat." Your brothers are all feasting, and the two of us will eat a little bit at my place as you intended before, and after eating, there are many things I want to tell you. â
Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "Coincidentally, I also have a lot of things to tell you." â
Wan smiled, and while the two of them drank tea, Chen Wenhui asked people to bring up Bai's gift to the good spirit, and his own gift to the good spirit, and show it to Wan Shi one by one.
Chen Wenhui said: "These two gold-painted chests are gifts from my father and mother to the good spirits. You see, there are six pieces of muslin that my mother has prepared, which are used to make clothes for the little good spirit. The mother said that when the child was young, it was better to wear this kind of muslin made in our own house, which was softer than silk clothes. â
As soon as he heard that it was his mother-in-law's instructions, Wan Shi hurriedly stood up and listened. Chen Wenhui smiled and said: "Oh, you don't have to set rules in front of me, you just sit and listen, you also know that your mother is the most generous and benevolent mother-in-law." â
Wan smiled and sat down.
Chen Wenhui continued: "There are also these little toys that my mother and father prepared for the good spirits together. It's delicate and interesting. Go back and clean up yourself. And my mother recently got a set of very good-looking heads, which was done by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the queen mother rewarded me, and my mother asked me to take you, and said, now you are busy, and you have to take care of the children, and you are busy dealing with the affairs of Xinguang City, especially the emperor has also assigned the country to us, so that the eldest brother is even busier, and there are more things for you inside and outside here, and the mother wants you to pay more attention to the body, especially the postpartum cultivation is very important, and the body is well raised, and the good spirit will be bigger in the future, so that you can add younger brothers and sisters to the good spirit. â
This sentence is very important, what Bai said is to wait for the good spirit to be older, this is the time for the Wan family to cultivate. In ordinary families, when a daughter-in-law gives birth to a girl, the mother-in-law will force her to prepare to get pregnant again so that she can give birth to a boy. Many noble ladies gave birth to children in a row, and finally damaged their bodies, and many died directly on this. This can still be smooth lĂŹ to get pregnant again, if you don't get pregnant, or if it is slower, you will be looked down upon by your mother-in-law, and it is normal for the concubine to be stuffed directly in the room. But what about Bai's daughter-in-law, she was very considerate of her daughter-in-law, and specially asked her daughter to bring her a message over, and asked Wan's to cultivate her body, and in order to comfort Wan's, she also specially rewarded her with precious jewelry.
Wan's tears were not controlled, and they immediately flowed out. Chen Wenhui said: "Oh, why are you shedding tears? â
Wan Shi wiped his tears and said: "Hey, I was moved in my heart, and I didn't control it for a while, but it made my sister smile." I think I'm so lucky to be married into your family. If in another family, a girl was born at once, and I don't know what kind of punishment my mother-in-law will give? If nothing else, it's certain to stuff people into the house. â
Chen Wenhui glared and said: "Our family is not allowed to have concubines, you know this, don't say that you gave birth to such a lovely girl for our Chen family, even if you can't give birth, we won't let my brother take a concubine." You can rest assured about this. â
What a good family rule this is, it is estimated that all the daughters of Da Chu want their in-laws to have such family rules, right? (To be continued)
