Not long after Li Wei left, An Er walked in with a happy face and said to Ling Ruofu: "Master, Ling Fu sent someone to say that he wanted to see his master." ”

Ling Ruo raised her eyebrows, quite surprised, without waiting for her to speak, Shui Xiu, who was holding the lamp, suddenly snorted softly, but when the red candle inserted in the candlestick of the pure copper gilt eagle double crane was lit, it suddenly "beeped" and "beeped" burst out several lanterns.

Xiao Cui said with a smile on the side: "In the slave's hometown, the explosion of lights means that the happy event is coming, and I don't know what the happy event will be here." ”

"This kind of thing is just talk, how can it be taken seriously." Ling Ruo said casually and then said to An'er, "Go and bring people in." ”

Not long after, a middle-aged woman wearing a floral dress with a blue background and a dark complexion walked in happily with a basket of things that she didn't know what to do, she also knew the rules, and as soon as she came in, she put down the basket and kowtowed, and said in her mouth: "Slave woman Baizhu to Ling Fujin to say goodbye, Ling Fujin is auspicious." ”

An'er saw that she looked so dark, but she was still called Bai Zhu, which didn't match at all, so she couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, until Ling Ruo glanced back at her, and she barely held back her smile, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.

Ling Ruo retracted his gaze, motioned for Bai Zhu to get up, and said, "Who asked you to come over, and what's the matter?" ”

As soon as Bai Zhu heard this, he hurriedly said: "When I went back to Fujin, the slave woman was ordered by the eldest prince to report the good news to Fujin. Last night, the eldest young lady began to have abdominal pain, and at the end of today, she gave birth to a white and chubby little brother, and both mother and son were safe. ”

"Sister-in-law gave birth?" Ling Ruo asked in disbelief, because according to the previous days, it would take at least ten days for the Jiang clan to reach the stage of giving birth.

"Yes, no one thought that the young lady would suddenly give birth ahead of schedule, but I have already asked the doctor to come and see it, and said that everything is fine with the little brother, and it has not had any impact because of the early birth." After answering, Bai Zhu lifted the cloth covering the bamboo basket and revealed a basket of red eggs inside, "The lady and the slave woman brought these red eggs to the master." ”

This is an old custom that has been handed down, and all the families who give birth to children are to boil a pot of eggs, then paint them red, and distribute them to relatives and neighbors everywhere to ask for good luck.

After An'er took the basket of red eggs, Ling Ruo said to Shui Xiu: "Go and bring the gifts I prepared for my sister-in-law and nephew." ”

Shui Xiu agreed, and left with Shui Yue, and when they came back again, they had already held a few brocade boxes in their hands, Ling Ruo pointed to those brocade boxes and said to Bai Zhu: "You bring these things back, just say that it is a little bit of my heart." It's getting late today, and tomorrow when I return to the prince, I'll go to the house to visit. ”

Bai Zhu agreed, took the heavy or light brocade box, and before leaving, Shui Xiu also stuffed a small ingots of ten taels into her sleeve, and she was so happy that she smiled and thanked her again and again.

"It's so nice for the master to treat his family." Looking at Bai Zhu's departing figure, Xiao Cui suddenly said with some envy, with Ling Ruo's current identity, the things that can make her take out her hand will not be bad.

"Ten years of repair can be spent on the same boat, and a hundred years of repair can be spent sleeping together. To be able to become a family, I don't know how many years of cultivation took to get the fate, and it should be better. Ling Ruo said disapprovingly, and suddenly said with some curiosity: "By the way, Xiaocui, who else are there in your family?" ”

"The slave's mother died of illness a few years ago, and now there is only an old father and a younger brother, and the younger brother is now fifteen years old, and he learned to strike iron with his father, and his father said that in two years, he will find a daughter-in-law for his younger brother." Speaking of family, Xiao Cui talked a little more than just now, and talked about some interesting things at home before.

Ling Ruo had been listening with a smile on her side, and when she stopped, she said, "I listened to you, as if I had read a book?" ”

Xiaocui said embarrassedly: "Yes, the slave maid used to be very envious when she saw others reading and writing, so she went outside the private school to eavesdrop, so she barely recognized a few words." ”

Ling Ruo nodded, it is already a great thing for an ordinary woman like Xiaocui to be literate, although it is said that she can only get ahead by studying for exams, but that is for men. In the eyes of the world, it doesn't matter if a woman is illiterate or not, she has to marry someone left and right, and she has to spend money to go to a private school; So even if it is a wealthy family, there are many illiterate girls.

"Eniang, let Huzi follow me to study in the future." Hongli suddenly interjected, with a bit of thirst in his eyes, although he has two elder brothers, but for various reasons, they are not close to each other, for several years, Hongli has been relatively lonely, although he is very sensible, never mention these, but always look forward to having a little friend of the same age, and Huzi is only two years younger than him, and he is Li Wei's son, so he is naturally very kind.

Ling Ruo was really a little moved when he heard this, but then said: "It depends on whether your Uncle Li stays in Beijing or not, if you don't stay in Beijing, then Huzi will have to go back with his father, how can he stay here to study with you, not to mention that you yourself want to enter the palace to study with your imperial grandfather, and Huzi can't follow in this palace." ”

Hongli thought about it, and never said more, but he still hoped that Li Wei could stay in the capital this time, even if he couldn't study together, he could often meet Huzi.

"Master, the dish is ready, the kitchen comes to ask if it will be served now?" Xiao Luzi came in and asked.

Ling Ruo heard this: "Let's bring it all up, cover it with a silver lid first, and then have a meal when Li Wei comes." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Cui hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Master, you don't have to wait for Li Wei, you can use it first." ”

Watching the figures rushing in and putting the dishes on the table, Ling Ruo smiled slightly and said, "That's not good, this meal is set up for you to catch the wind and wash the dust, how can I say that I will use it first, and besides, I am not hungry at the moment." ”

At Ling Ruo's insistence, all the dishes were covered with silver lids, and Li Wei waited for Li Wei to come back from Yinzhen before starting the feast. For fear that they would be bored waiting, Shui Xiu brought melon seeds up, so that they could chat while eating melon seeds.

"Huzi, what is this?" Hongli was not interested in melon seeds, but was curious about a rectangular piece of bamboo and a bamboo stick that Huzi inadvertently took out, and drilled a small hole in the center of the bamboo piece, the size of which was the same thickness as the bamboo stick.

Seeing that he was interested, Huzi hurriedly explained like a treasure: "This one will fly when it turns." ”

Can fly? Although Hongli didn't speak, Huzi obviously saw the disbelief in his eyes, and now he was in a hurry, and he didn't even eat the grapes, so he jumped down from the chair with those two things and said, "If Brother Li doesn't believe it, I'll show you." ”

"Okay, let's go outside." Hongli has always been a child's heart, after asking Ling Ruo's consent, he pulled Huzi and ran to the courtyard, at this time it was already dark, but fortunately, the lights in the courtyard had been raised everywhere, but it was also bright.

Huzi stood in the courtyard, inserted the bamboo piece on the bamboo stick, and then rubbed his palms vigorously, and in the rapid rotation of the bamboo stick, the extremely light and thin bamboo piece flew up at once, like a fluttering butterfly.

Hongli didn't expect such a simple turn, it could really make the bamboo piece fly, excitedly took the bamboo stick in the hand of the tiger, picked up the bamboo piece and put it on it, and then rubbed it hard like the tiger, and sure enough, the bamboo piece flew up again, hovering in the air for a while before falling.

"It's fun." Hongli clapped his hands happily, repeating the action of picking up and flying again, and every time the bamboo piece flew into the air, it would provoke his joyful laughter.

Ling Ruo silently looked at Hongli in the courtyard, only at this time, he was really like a five-year-old child, laughing and laughing.
