Chapter 176
After the Spring Festival, Shu Manyao finally found an opportunity to propose to go home, not to mention that the old lady was reluctant, even Shu Chengye, who was always a strict father on weekdays, was also reluctant: "Anyway, Jianbai is not at home, so you can stay here for a while longer." ”
"Dad, it's not that you don't know, the Yang family's old mansion is really uneasy, a few days ago, the little brother and their full moon, the Yang family still wants to make a fuss, if I live again, maybe there will be some ideas over there." Shu Manyao said with a smile, Shu Chengye was a little reluctant to let go of his little brother, this was the first time he had been a grandfather. It is said that Shu Manyao is his most beloved daughter, and Shu Manyao's children are naturally the ones he likes the most.
Besides, the two children still have fate with him, he just came back from northern Xinjiang, and the two children were born, and the child's appearance is still three or four points with Shu Manyao's mother, which makes Shu Chengye even more reluctant to let go.
"Dad, I'll come back often." Shu Manyao couldn't cry or laugh a little, grabbed Shu Chengye's arm and shook it: "Anyway, it's not far away, I'll come back once every three days?" ”
"Chengye, let go quickly, Manyao is going home, not out of Beijing, but a few steps away, if you are really reluctant, you can go over there to see if you go to the next court?" The old lady also persuaded on the side, Shu Chengye sighed, handed the child to the nurse, and reached out to touch Shu Manyao's hair: "Okay, you have to come back and take a look, you live alone in the Yang Mansion, even if there is something, we know it here slowly, you pay more attention to yourself, if there is anything wrong, let someone come back and report the news." ”
"Dad, you're thinking too much, this is the capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, where can there be anything?" Shu Manyao said with a smile, and was about to get up to say goodbye, when he suddenly thought of another thing: "By the way, the 30,000 taels of silver that Jianbai borrowed before, did Daddy think of any solution?" ”
"Yes, just give me the money. I will ask the emperor for his life when I go back, isn't there a war going on in Western Xinjiang at this time? The emperor is worried about this at this moment. "Although the country is very stable, and the people's lives are good, the treasury is not very abundant, there is a war outside, and the emperor plans to build roads and embankments inside, and there are many places to spend money. No matter how rich the emperor is, he is also worried every day.
"Okay, I'll go back in a while and have someone bring the silver ticket to Daddy." Shu Manyao nodded hurriedly, and said a few more words to Cheng, before getting up to say goodbye.
Although Shu Manyao lives in the Shu family, there is no master in the Yang Mansion, but the maids and mothers-in-law are still there, and the house is still neat and clean, Shu Manyao went around the room and came out to sigh: "It's used to being lively in the Shu family, and when I come back, I'm really a little uncomfortable." ”
Mother Chen smiled and nodded: "Yes, however, purity also has the benefit of purity, so the third girl didn't come to discuss needlework with Mrs. ”
Shu Manyao couldn't help laughing, and Mother Chen smiled again: "Madam, from now on, the slave maid will start massaging you, and the slave maid will also have a set of actions to hand over to you, this can make your lower abdomen flatter, a woman who has just given birth will have wrinkles on her stomach, this can also smooth the surroundings, and will make the body softer and more flexible." ”
Shu Manyao nodded hurriedly: "Okay, then thank you Mother Chen." ”
"There are a few more prescriptions, the slave and maid will write them in a while, and the lady will let them prepare these medicinal materials, one is for bathing, which can make the body recover faster and the skin will be better, and the other is a medicinal food recipe, which can nourish the lady's body from the inside."
"Will that interfere with the baby's breastfeeding?" Shu Manyao hurriedly asked, and Chen's mother hesitated: "I can't say this well, the woman's medicinal diet is mostly for nourishing yin and nourishing the skin, and there are some blood-activating ones, so it shouldn't be good for breastfeeding." ”
Chen's mother served the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother never fed the child herself.
"Otherwise, I won't take that medicinal diet first." Shu Manyao weighed it in his heart, and immediately made a decision: "For the one who takes the bath, I will also ask Dr. Cao first to see if it can be used, if it can't be used, I will wait for the child to be weaned at eight months before I start using it." ”
"Weaning the little master at eight months?" Mother Chen was shocked, and Shu Manyao nodded: "Let them eat more at that time, but the nurse still has to keep it until the child is one and a half years old." ”
When she was in the folk in her last life, she saw that the children of ordinary families were weaned at about one year old, and they began to eat rice soup egg custard and other things at about half a year old, but they were stronger and healthier than the children raised by rich and noble families, so in this life, she also planned to wean the children earlier, and eating something else might be better for the body.
Chen's mother was very puzzled, she was in the palace, and she saw that the little masters were breastfeeding until they were five or six years old, these eight months, is it too early?
"It's not early, I'm teething in eight months, and I can eat something else." Shu Manyao smiled and waved her hand, and asked Chen's mother again: "Mom, do you want to teach me that action, do you want to prepare another set of clothes?" ”
"No, Madame will go to the room and lie down first, and the slave and maid will clean their hands, and come over to demonstrate to Madame in a while." Mother Chen saw that Shu Manyao had diverted the topic, knowing that she had made up her mind, so she would not continue the topic, don't look at Mrs. Xiao's young age, the idea is quite positive, if she decides, then others will never be able to change it, and she won't bother with it.
Jing Chun and Jing Xia heard the movement, and they also came over to see, Shu Manyao didn't mind, someone had to take care of the two children by the side, besides, several of them were their own personal big girls, and they all helped in the bath, this is just a massage plus a set of actions, what is there to hide?
Chen's mother is still relatively strict, and Shu Manyao sweated profusely after one set, and Chen's mother had to ask to do it twice.
However, it really works. Originally, when Chen's mother first massaged her, she was called a pain on her body, but then it slowly improved. However, the recovery of this figure was a little slow, and it was not until May that Shu Manyao began to feel that the flesh on his body was a little tight.
Then, the results of the spring stump came out. Early in the morning, Shu Manyao took the child to Shu's house to wait, and Shu Chengye had already sent a small servant to wait for the emperor at the gate of the Gongyuan.
The little guy hasn't come back yet, and the person who reported the good news came first: "Congratulations to Master Shu, congratulations to Master Shu, you won the second and eleventh places!" The messenger who reported the good news was smiling while striking the gong, and Shu Chengye was also overjoyed and hurriedly gave the reward.
When I turned around, I saw the old lady holding Shu Zheming and smiling, Shu Chengye coughed: "I won the second class this time, but the results are average, not too good......
Before he finished speaking, the old lady reprimanded with a tiger face: "What nonsense, how many people are taking the exam this time?" Don't be my wife and don't know, there are thousands of people taking the exam this time! My grandson has won the second grade! There are ten people in the first class, three hundred people in the second class, two hundred people in the third class, and my grandson is eleven in the second class! The entire Great Xia Dynasty is ranked twenty-first! Coupled with the tens of thousands of people who were brushed off before the Spring Festival, my grandson is the best one! ”
Cheng couldn't help laughing, Shu Zheming himself was praised by his grandmother for his blushing face, very embarrassed, Shu Chengye couldn't go on, touched his short beard, and couldn't help but smile for a long time: "It's still my mother who understands, Zheming did well in the test this time, but there is another palace test, after the palace test, it is the final result, Zheming, you can't relax at this time, since ancient times, there are not a few people who have been brushed down on this palace test." ”
Shu Zheming got up busily, and Shu Zhehui joined in the fun: "Big brother is raised, is our family going to hold a banquet?" Last time I heard Li Qing say that his eldest brother passed the exam, and the family held a three-day banquet, and invited a singer, grandmother, grandmother, I want to watch a big play! ”
The old lady hugged him and nodded with a smile: "Okay, let's watch a big drama too!" ”
The family talked and laughed, but Shu Manyu was a little uneasy, and everyone knew that she was a little, so at a glance, she knew what she was worried about, Shu Chengye coughed lightly: "What's the hurry, if Cai Yuheng is lifted, the Cai family will let people report it." If you don't win, there are a lot of students in this spring, and I will pick a better one for you when the time comes! ”
Shu Manyu hurriedly argued: "If you don't hit this time, it doesn't mean that you won't win next time, dad, don't underestimate people." ”
Shu Chengye's face immediately darkened, this girl is really supported for nothing, she hasn't married yet, her heart has gone to outsiders, and when she gets married, isn't it completely Cai family? “
Shu Manyao looked at Shu Chengye's face, mourned for Shu Manyu in her heart, and smiled and coquettishly said to Shu Chengye: "Daddy, don't just think about Manyu's affairs, there is also Zheming's marriage, this time Zheming is raised, if there is no accident, after the palace test, you can enter the Hanlin Academy or be a Shujishi, Zheming will also be very sought-after in the future, and there are still many girls to be married in the capital." ”
Shu Zheming is naturally more important than Shu Manyu, and Shu Chengye really doesn't want to talk to Shu Manyu, so he turned the topic to Shu Zheming: "Yes, Zheming is not young, marriage should also be considered, after a while, Zheming should also hold a coronation ceremony, this time we have to be grander, Zheming is the eldest son in the end, and we can't fall into the name of our Shu family." ”
The old lady nodded with a smile: "Don't say this, I have already discussed it with your daughter-in-law, so you can take care of it then." As for Zheming's marriage, didn't you also say that the Qi family was good before? I went to Qi's house to ask, the last time I went, the Qi family was a little relieved, and I might be able to do it if I went two more times. ”
Shu Manyu pursed her lips and turned her head to look outside the door, anyway, when Miss Qi married in, she would already go out. Now, it's important to care about whether Brother Cai has been lifted or not.
Seeing Mother Li coming in, followed by the Cai family's mother-in-law, Shu Manyu's eyes immediately lit up, but with Shu Chengye here, she didn't jump up. Mother Li entered the door and greeted everyone with a smile: "The Cai family sent someone to report the good news." ”
The mother-in-law of the Cai family hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Say hello to the old lady, say hello to Master Shu, say hello to Mrs. Shu, please say hello to Mrs. Yang," after a series of greetings, he said Shu Manyu's most anticipated words: "Our master asked the slave maid to come over to give a few good news, and our son-in-law won the second class one hundred and forty-eight." ”
