Chapter 691: Receiving gifts
After Yang Huairen became a father, he seemed to feel that nothing else in a short period of time was as important as serving the confinement of his two wives.
In terms of the experience of serving confinement, Yang Huairen actually feels very relaxed, because many things are arranged by his mother to be done by his mother, and he can't intervene at all.
And Yun'er and Lian'er's three meals a day are his part of responsibility, and the cooking work looks quite tiring, but in fact, for people like Yang Huairen who are used to doing it, it is still the same thing.
When a person combines hobbies and work, this kind of tiredness is also a kind of happiness.
The next day, a lot of people came to the Yang family Zhuangzi, all of whom came to give congratulatory gifts, and Yang Huairen did not know many officials in the court, most of them were just nodding friends.
However, he received hundreds of gifts from these officials, and they sent their children or housekeepers to give gifts.
Regardless of the value and value of the gift, Yang Huairen also chose to accept it all, not at all the consciousness of being a master of the blue sky, anyway, he felt that the family had two children This kind of happy event, people come to give gifts, but also to be happy, and corruption and bribery, it really can't match.
People are sophisticated, although it is a little troublesome, and it also makes Yang Huairen a little headache, but now that he is slowly maturing, he naturally will not refute anyone's face, even if he doesn't know most people.
When the name of the giver was presented, he just glanced at it and gave it to the stewards to record it.
The gifts sent by friends in the mall are much more heroic, and a big push of jewelry jade and white jade is sent in boxes.
Although Yang Huairen didn't quite understand what the purpose of adding Ding to his family, these people did not send rice and eggs but directly sent these valuable things, but he still felt that his son's future bride price and daughter's future dowry had been settled, and he was still in a good mood.
Zhao Hao seems to be very low-key these days, almost like everyone else, he doesn't go out of the door, and he may still be complaining about his eldest nephew Zhao Xu for the affairs of the Empress Dowager Gao.
However, the gift sent by the person this time was quite a scene, Yang Huairen remembered that the last time he visited him, he didn't even let him in, and he thought that he would take the time to see this old friend again, not to explain something to him, between real friends, they can understand their respective situations, and there is no need to explain with extra nonsense.
Time is the best medicine to alleviate this relationship.
Compared with those merchants and Zhao Haolai, Zhao Xu's gift was a little shabby, and a small chamberlain sent two golden locks, saying that it was given by the saint to the two children of Yang Jungong.
Giving locks to newborns is a traditional habit of the Chinese, and it is really difficult to verify when this custom began.
The important significance is that sending the lock is to bless the life of the child, so that they can grow up healthily and will not die for various reasons.
Poor people also use copper locks, or even wooden locks, and the slightly better middle class may use silver locks, while those with good conditions will use gold locks, or jade locks.
Sending two golden locks made Yang Huairen feel that Zhao Xu was a little picky, but Yang's mother respectfully accepted it, patted the back of her son's head and asked Yang Huairen to say something in front of his little father-in-law to be grateful to the official family.
After rewarding dozens of taels of silver to send the little father-in-law who sent the golden lock for Zhao Xu out, Yang Huairen began to scold Zhao Xu for being stingy.
"This kid is too picky, these two golden locks are not enough to reward the little father-in-law's dozens of silver money!"
Mother Yang said with a smile, "Son, you are usually quite shrewd, are you stupid today?" ”
Yang Huairen didn't know why, rubbing his nose and looking confused.
Mother Yang sent the two golden locks to him, pointed and said, "You just think that these two golden locks are not worth the dozens of taels of silver, but have you ever thought that these two golden locks are worn on the necks of your children, what does that mean?" This was given by the emperor, have you figured it out? ”
Yang Huairen suddenly realized, I will go, or my mother thought thoroughly, in the future, these two golden locks will be worn on the son and daughter, isn't it the same as the yellow coat given by the emperor?
In the future, these two children will grow up, as long as they wear these two golden locks, they can walk sideways everywhere, who dares to provoke grandma? Isn't this similar to the Imperial Gold Medal for Avoiding Death?
Thinking of this, Yang Huairen laughed, and only after laughing did he scold, "Next time, let Zhao Xu, this kid also give me one, I didn't mention it before, and the next time I see him, I will remind him." ”
Mother Yang has long been secretive about her son calling the saint by his name, anyway, she also knows that her son is just at home.
After receiving so many gifts, in Yang Huairen's heart, he still felt that the things given by his brothers were the most intimate.
Brother Hei Niu made two cradles with his own hands, and Brother Tianba also learned to make two sets of Trojan horses, Xiao Chuan and Xuan Shen did not have such skills, but they went to buy tiger head hats and tiger head shoes with folk characteristics.
The things sent by the brothers may not seem to be worth a few dollars, but that kind of heart made Yang Huairen feel that they loved this pair of children as their own children, the things were very practical, and they were full of an elder's love for the children.
Xiao Qi's sister-in-law was originally pregnant earlier than Yang Huairen's two daughters-in-law, but for some reason she gave birth a few days late, and after coming and going, Xiao Qi's baby daughter was born a few days later than Yun'er.
However, Xiao Qi was still happy, remembering that the lady who chased him to the flagpole like a monkey was still Yang Huairen's matchmaker, and now that he is a father, he is naturally grateful to Yang Huairen.
It's just that the way he repaid made Yang Huairen want to run away when he saw him, Xiao Qi always didn't forget the matter of the doll kiss, and when he saw Yang Huairen, he said that he would marry his baby daughter to Yang Huairen's baby son.
Yang Huairen is very embarrassed, this kind of thing is not that he is unhappy, but that he is afraid that his son will not be happy in the future, and the children's lifelong events should still let the children make their own decisions when they grow up in the future.
When they were parents, they hastily made such a major decision in their lives when their children were born and were completely ignorant, and Yang Huairen, a person from modern times, couldn't accept it.
It's a pity that no matter how good Yang Huairen's legs and feet are, he can't outrun Xiao Qi, who has made outstanding achievements, and he was caught up, and it was not good to refuse directly, so he had to promise Xiao Qi, saying that if his son was willing in the future, he would not object.
Xiao Qi touched his head and pondered Yang Huairen's words carefully, and felt that Yang Huairen had agreed, so he patted Yang Huairen with a smile and said that he should prepare the dowry in advance.
After finishing speaking, he ran to the meeting without waiting for Yang Huairen to speak, shouting as he ran, "Now I have to deal with my wife." ”
Yang Huairen pointed to his back and scolded with a smile, "It turns out that he is also afraid of his wife." ”
