234 The association evoked by the three baptisms
The third day of Ah Zhao's birth is commonly known as the "washing three" day. Washing three was the most popular and cumbersome in the Qing Dynasty, and it was also available in the Sui Dynasty, but it was very simple. "Baptism" is a very important ritual in ancient Chinese birth ceremonies. On the third day after the baby is born, a bathing ceremony is held, and relatives and friends are gathered to wish good luck for the baby, which is called "washing the three days", also known as "three times washing". The intention of "washing three" is, first, to wash away filth and eliminate disasters; The second is to pray for auspiciousness and seek good fortune.
This is the first big day after the birth of the child, but it is not like the TV to take a basin outside, and the baby is undressed and washed. The washing of the Great Sui is indoors.
Although there is space for water and various medicines, Mu Fushu still pays attention to the child's hygiene. According to custom, the birth and baptism of the royal baby of the Great Sui Dynasty is a major event, especially the eldest son of the emperor, who must be witnessed by the patriarch and hundreds of officials, and the clan woman presides over the baptism ceremony, rather than the midwife, as in other dynasties.
The king of Shu is the patriarch of the Yang clan, and the clan wife is naturally the princess of Shu, but recently the princess of Shu is not in good health, and she is afraid that she will be sick to the prince and cannot come to complain.
After thinking about it again, Saburo decided to ask Ayi Pasha to wash Saburo in the past.
Mu Fushu originally wanted to say that he was looking for Yang Weiai, but the family Sanlang said that the clan woman could not be of the same clan and surname, even if it was a temporary generation, and Ayi Pasha could be regarded as the concubine of the king of Shu from a certain Cheng dù!
Mu Fushu felt that this was San Lang making an excuse, but it was just to let his own mother wash his grandson in person. As far as San Lang's current control of the Great Sui is concerned, Ayi Pasha has no pressure to wash the third son of the emperor.
Before the "washing three", the palace supervisor followed the requirements of the grandmother as usual. Prepare the umbilical hairpin, pot cloth, gold and silver bills in advance. Others such as flowers, flowers, sheng'er, buckets, locks, scales, small mirrors, toothbrushes, tongue scraping, green cloth tips, green tea leaves, new combs, new cages, rouge powder, pig pancreatic soap balls, new towels, copper tea trays, green onions, mugwort leaf balls, baking cages, incense candles, money and grain paper yards, raw and hard-boiled eggs, mallets and so on. It is also necessary to boil the water of acacia and puai, and dye red guiyuan, lychee, raw peanuts, and chestnuts with rouge.
The ceremony began at the auspicious time chosen by the Qin Heavenly Supervisor, and an incense table was set up on the front of the main hall of the washing. Enshrine thirteen gods such as Bixia Yuanjun, Qiongxiao Niangniang, Yunxiao Niangniang, Giving Birth to Niangniang, Sending Sons Niangniang, Beanrash Niangniang, and Eyesight Niangniang. The incense burner contains millet, which is used as incense ash for incense. A pair of "small double bags" (small red wax for mutton fat special for sacrifices) are inserted on the wax skewers, and all godly money and food such as yellow coins, ingots, and thousands of zhang are pressed below.
Most of the officials and clans who came to participate in the baptism ceremony wore gold, silver and jade green onions, water chestnuts and other auspicious objects, symbolizing the wisdom and cleverness of the emperor's eldest son.
Under the guidance of Mama, Ayi Pasha prostrated incense on behalf of the clan woman. A copper basin containing a soup made of acacia sticks and mugwort leaves, as well as a qiē ritual utensils, are placed on several tables. Lianye is a grandmother, she carefully brought Ah Zhao in, and the prelude to "washing three" began.
The clans and elders present took the lead in adding a small spoonful of water to the basin according to their respect and humility. Then put it like gold, silver, pearl and jade, which is called "adding a basin". If it is gold or silver, it will be put in a basin, and if it is silver, it will be placed in a tea tray. Furthermore. You can also add some cinnamon, lychees, red dates, peanuts, chestnuts and other happy fruits. Wealthy families who are not bad for money also put gold and silver coins and "yellow and white" jewelry in their basins, and more advanced ones are pearls, jade and gemstones.
After "adding a pot", Ayi Pasha invited the godly money and food together with the incense root, and Mama took it and sent it to the courtyard for incineration. The ashes are packed in sachets. When the time comes, you will press on Ah Zhao's small mattress to bless him with peace and health.
The guests were then led by the suzerain to salute the eldest son of the emperor and recognize his status. Ayi Pasha thanked everyone on behalf of the emperor's eldest son, and at this point, the "baptism three" ceremony was completed.
Because it was a simplified "baptism" ceremony, Mu Fushu intuitively felt that the child had only gone out for less than ten minutes and came back. This is also the first prince of the Great Sui to set up the "washing three" ceremony in the queen's dormitory, and there were more in the Linde Hall before, and there were also in the Chongde Palace. In the queen's bedroom, only Ah Zhao set a precedent.
But after thinking about it with Saburo all night, no one raised any objections.
Yang Weiai went back after the baptism. Anyway, she could enter the palace at any time to see Mu Fushu, and she was not reluctant, the most important thing was that Mu Fushu's strong healing power made her feel at ease. Although he was surprised, he had a feeling that "immortal disciples are like this", so he didn't say anything, and followed the horses with the twins Shi Shiran in his arms.
The first time Ayi Pasha appeared in front of so many people, he was still presiding over the emperor's eldest son, Xisan. It was probably her own grandson who gave her strength, and she did it without any mistakes, and the king of Shu naturally saw her and recognized her, first, with mixed feelings and tears in his eyes......
The king of Shu is still a man of personality in a certain way.
Ayipasha didn't pay much attention. Even if she knew that the King of Shu was standing less than three feet away from her, she only had A Zhao in her eyes, where was she in the mood to care about anything else?
The king of Shu had mixed tastes, and he confirmed that San Lang was his son. Thinking about it like this, the unwillingness, the frustration is all gone, looking at Ah Zhao's eyes is a hundred times more loving than Cui Chongyu, that is his eldest grandson (the son of the world has no children so far)!
After Ah Zhao's washing, the imperial court began to be busy with the affairs of Tibet. Cui Chongyu and Yang Weng drafted dozens of memos, and finally chose one that seemed to them to be more high-sounding, could hold the audience from the perspective of righteousness, and it was unlikely that anyone would see the dark inside...... It was handed over at the Great Pilgrimage.
San Lang, who proposed it in person, was naturally pretending to be full of praise after reading it, and with a wave of the pen, "Read!" "It's all over the place.
Officials at the bottom: ╮(╯▽╰)╭...... We are all saints who have not understood, and we have not said anything, and we have not mentioned anything, and you have reviewed the saints, so what else do we do? How to reflect their own value? Can you still have fun......
Saburo: I don't want you to worry about anything, as long as you don't do what I say, it's not good, how do you want to have fun?
After retreating from the court, the sage still ran to the harem in three steps and two steps, leaving a hundred officials with a vegetable face to surround Yang Weng and Cui Chongyu, and let them explain the main content of the recital.
In other words, Yang Weng and Cui Chongyu really want to go home and hug their son......
When Saburo returned, he had lunch with Ayi Pasha Mu Fushu. While eating, he praised Ah Zhao as a beautiful and good-tempered child, as long as he was full of food and drink, and his diapers were dry, he would not be troublesome at all. It's almost like to praise Ah Zhao to the sky, but others don't feel enough when they hear the flesh.
Who doesn't sleep 22 hours a day with a newborn child? Most of them don't make trouble if they are full of food and drink. But the child's father and grandmother all think that their child has a good temper and looks good...... Naturally, I want to like it desperately!
Speaking of washing, the customs of Ayi Pasha's hometown are different from here, and there are not so many maidens to offer. But it is really washing outside, and you have to pat your forehead and instep with cold water, if you unfortunately catch the wind cold, then this child is not blessed......
Mu Fushu listened with relish, and at first wanted to say that this was superstition, and he couldn't do this to his children...... Suddenly I felt that there was something I had overlooked.
I thought about it for a long time. A slap on the forehead! Isn't it just vaccination? I think that in the Celestial Empire, babies had to be vaccinated at birth, and before going to elementary school, they had to be vaccinated dozens of times in various categories!
Isn't that pox god Niangniang offering smallpox? In modern times. Smallpox is extinct, and in this time and space, countless people often die from a single smallpox, far more than any modern flu or the like.
There are still various vaccines in the Mu Fu space. But not much. At the beginning, she only saved for her own people, and if she bought a lot at one time, it was impossible for the medicine supermarket opened by their family to buy the goods, and now it is impossible for the entire Dasui to use, so the national pox is temporarily removed.
If you ignore it, you should not know it, and wait for the real smallpox outbreak to be treated with space well water...... If you're lucky, there won't be a day for more than ten years or decades, and if there really is...... One is that far water can't quench the thirst of the near - far away from Chang'an, the news is almost infectious.
The second is that she can't explain the origin of the water.
One or two people can fool around. How do you explain it to the whole world? Since you have a miracle medicine, why didn't you take it out sooner? It's going to be dead before you take it out?
Thinking about it is too big. At the beginning, there were not many vaccines in the pharmaceutical warehouse, hundreds of them. If only there were more......
But no amount of it is enough for the entire Great Sui people!
Mu Fushu's eyes suddenly lit up: There is no vaccine that can be made by yourself!
The manufacture of vaccines is actually quite simple. It is extracted from the patient's serum and professionally refined. Ordinary people can't do it, but there are still some simple pharmaceutical machinery in her space, and there are books and videos of vaccine-made zuò, even if she has never made it herself, it's always okay to try, she is not in a hurry, if it doesn't work in one year, it will be two years, and if it doesn't work in two years, it will be three years. The time in the space is so different from the outside, she believes that she will be able to make zuò in the near future.
Just do it! Mu Fushu rubbed his hands and sharpened his knife...... In the end, I found out that the most important raw material - the patient's serum wood is there!
Mu Fushu rubbed his forehead, feeling that he was really stupid. Think of one set is the other, or have a chance to talk about it.
Saburo and Ayi Pasha watched Mu Fushu's expressions change from the side, feeling both curious and funny. It's rare to see her in such a trance, I just don't know what she thinks, sad and happy.
Mu Fushu was still forced to lie in bed for confinement, even if she was in good health, San Lang was still not at ease. Since she took a bath, she had already let her go, but she was asked to sleep for a month.
He told Saburo his thoughts, and he became excited as he spoke. Ayi Pasha didn't understand, and Ah Zhao fell asleep again, so he left with interest.
Saburo did get more excited the more he listened. He vaguely remembered that when he was in the Huai Wangfu, two "brothers and sisters" died of smallpox. At that time, I was still young, and I only remember that many people were locked up, and he was the only one who was sent out......
San Lang's eyes widened: he remembered that the reason why he was suddenly sent out of the Huai Wang's Mansion was that someone in the mansion had smallpox!
San Lang felt that his eyes were wet, did it mean that the prince of Huai still remembered him and cared about him? (To be continued......)
