A few days later, Shen Fu accepted the instructions of his father Shen Jiafu, prepared to go to Jiangning to study, and began to check his luggage.

Chen Yun was reluctant to do so, but when she thought about the day and the moon, the early autumn of next year would be the field period, so she had to soften Shen Fu with sadness and tears, and repeatedly admonished: "You go, but you must devote yourself to learning, and you must not learn to sift a thousand eyes and waste time in vain!" ”

Shen Fu knew that she was dedicated to herself, and she didn't talk back, just listened to the old man and the truth, and then reluctantly said goodbye to her.

Sending Shen Fu away, Chen Yun was pessimistic and sad for a few days, and slowly let go of his arms to manage the affairs of the house.

At that time, Xia He in Mrs. Zhou's courtyard and Qiu Ling in Mrs. Wu's courtyard entered the house to pick up people, Chen Yun knew that there was such a day, and readily agreed at that time, and then made an exception to reward the two of them with two taels of silver and a silk horse as a gift.

After a few days of calm, Chen Yun rarely relaxed her vigilance, not wanting another good person to come out as a traitor and violate the regulations. Chen Yun is very principled and deals with it according to the rules, not only putting a brake on the bad atmosphere, but also winning the reputation of punishing Zang Wei.

It is more than a month to pass, it is the twilight of spring, the house is green and dark red, the flowers on the tulip shelf have also withered, the peony under the shelf, the moon season has produced flower bones, just wait for an early summer fat rain, moisten them to grow, bloom buds.

On this day, Chen Yun was having breakfast in the room, and suddenly saw Rui Cai running in with a famous poster, and said, "Grandma, Grandma Lu is here!" ”

Chen Yun only wondered, took the name card and opened it, and took a closer look, it turned out to be Zhang Jia's family, who was in Lu Banfang, who gave birth to Lin'er the day before yesterday, and invited Chen Yun to watch the 'three baptisms'.

Chen Yun thought that Lu Banfang and Shen Fu had a deep friendship, and she was grateful for Lu Banfang's love for selling the house, so she couldn't help but prepare a generous gift and go there in person.

As soon as you enter the Lu house, you can see the flowers red and willow green, charming eyes, red curtains, colorful lanterns can be seen everywhere, and it is a festive scene.

Chen Yun followed her mother-in-law into the inner courtyard, only to see that an incense case was set up in the hall, enshrined thirteen gods such as Bixia Yuanjun, Qiongxiao Niangniang, Yunxiao Niangniang, Giving Birth to Niangniang, Sending Sons Niangniang, Bean Rash Niangniang, and Seeing Niangniang. An incense burner was placed in front of the statue, and the incense burner was not incense ash, but millet that had just been tao. Sandalwood was inserted in the furnace, and cigarettes curled up. Under the furnace, gold leaf, ingots and other materials are pressed.

Chen Yun glanced at it, turned into the inner room, and saw more than a dozen maids and servants blocking the door, and a few brightly dressed women around the bed.

Zhang Jiashi was lying in the Luohan bed, full of smiles, talking and laughing with everyone, only to see her black hair hanging down, her head around the red embroidered forehead, and a jade-colored brocade quilt covered with her chest, revealing two fat and thin arms on the brocade quilt.

Chen Yun smiled slowly, stepped forward and said, "Congratulations to sister-in-law!" ”

Zhang Jiashi glanced at her and said angrily: "Why did you come?" I've been looking forward to you for a long time! As he spoke, he motioned for Chen Yun to sit beside him.

Chen Yun sat down according to her wishes, and was about to say a few words of greeting, when she suddenly saw the statues of the Kang Gong and the Kang Mother at the head of the bed, and couldn't help but pay more attention, and then looked at Zhang Jiashi again, and asked with a smile: "The day my sister-in-law gave birth was quite smooth?" ”

Zhang Jiashi laughed

said: "Because it is a full-term birth, it is still stable, and there is no accident in the middle!" As he spoke, seeing that the midwife's grandmother who was invited from outside opened her head to poke her head into the house and looked inside, Zhang Jiashi pulled her lower lip and shouted, "Mom, come in and talk!" ”

The midwife's grandmother smiled when she heard this, twisted her ass and walked in, and said, "I'm just here to ask grandma, when will I wash the little boy?" ”

Zhang Jiashi squinted his eyes, and saw that all the female guests invited had arrived, and said with a smile: "Anyway, the guests have arrived, as long as you are ready, you can wash three at any time!" ”

When the midwife's grandmother heard this, she was overjoyed and said, "Then grandma wait a while, let's bring things in first!" After saying that, he took a blessing and went out with a cigarette.

After a while, I only heard the sound of footsteps outside, and then I saw two midwives coming in, followed by a few maids and servants.

Chen Yun looked at it, and saw that everyone was holding something in their hands, or picking an umbilical hairpin, or a pig pancreatic soap ball, or a gold and silver bill, or a paper code of money and grain, and there were also locks, scales, combs, cages, incense candles, sticks and mallets and other commonly visible things.

Chen Yun was dazzled, and she didn't know what the use of these things was, so she had to sit on the edge of the bed honestly and observe patiently.

At this time, the mother-in-law of the Lu family came in with the baby in her arms, and Zhang Jia's beloved son was heartfelt, held it firmly in her arms, teased it for a while, and finally reluctantly sent it to the midwife's grandmother.

As soon as the baby left its mother's arms, she cried profusely.

The midwife's grandmother saw a lot, and hurriedly coaxed a few times to see that the baby had stopped, and then carried it to the bathtub prepared in advance.

Another midwife's grandmother poured two pots of boiling water, mixed the well water herself, and then tested the temperature, feeling that the baby was harmless, so she reported to Zhang Jia's family, saying that everything was all right, and you can ask relatives and friends to add pots.

Zhang Jiashi turned his eyes to look at his sister-in-law and said with a smile: "Please also ask your aunt and younger siblings to add a pot first!" ”

The aunt and daughter-in-law of the Lu family nodded yes, and threw gold and silver bills into the bathtub one after the other, and the two midwife grandmothers saw it and sang with a smile: "The basin is full of gold, the basin is full of silver!" ”

As soon as the family is finished, then there is Hakka.

A woman threw dates and chestnuts into it. The midwife's grandmother smiled: "Early Lizi!" People say that having a son is enough, and grandma is so blessed! ”

Zhang Jiashi smiled and said nothing, and only pushed Chen Yun to go up and add a pot.

Chen Yun couldn't refuse, slowly walked to the bathtub, pinched a few lotus seeds casually, and threw them into the steaming bathtub with controlled strength.

The midwife's grandmother opened her eyes and opened her mouth to sing: "Even the three yuan!" The little boy will be smart and clever in the future, and his future will be bright! ”

After a while, the bathtub ceremony was completed.

When the midwife's grandmother saw that the things in the basin were gathered together, she stirred it with a mallet a few times, and then showed a smile on her face, and said, "One stir, two stirs, three stirs, and my brother leads my younger brother to run." Seventy, eighty, crooked, naughty, sighing and snoring! ”

Another midwife was busy unwrapping her swaddling clothes.

When the baby saw that it was a human being, she suddenly cried again.

The midwife's grandmother suddenly smiled and said: "Listen to our son's cry, it is so loud that it can be heard across the street, don't hide it from Mrs. You said, the old woman is a finger, that."

I have also washed dozens of families for three, and I have never seen a child like our little son, who is really rich and noble! ”

Zhang Jiashi was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly ordered the maid to reward money.

The midwife's grandmother took it with a smile, then hugged the baby tightly, lowered her arms, and put the baby in the bathtub to test the water first.

Seeing that the child was not crying, another midwife hurriedly scooped up a little water with her hand and sprinkled it on the baby's head, and then said with a smile: "Wash your hair first and be a prince; After washing the waist, one generation is taller than the other; Wash the eggs, as the county; Wash the ditch and do Zhizhou! ”

The maid who burned the mugwort next to her handed the baby moxa ball in due course.

The midwife's grandmother took the ginger slices to hold it, first put it in front of the baby's head and smoked it, then put it down casually, and then took a comb to comb the messy hair in front of the baby's forehead, and said at the same time: "Three combs, two bunches, grow up and wear a red top." Draw eyebrows on the left, sideburns on the right, and find a daughter-in-law in the fourth village. Brush your teeth, rinse your mouth, and talk to people so as not to be embarrassed! With that, put the toothbrush down.

Chen Yun felt the novelty, while laughing with Zhang Jia's family, she saw the midwife's grandmother peeling the eggs, rolling a few times on the baby's face, and said: "The egg is rolling on the face, the face is like egg skin, the willow is red like white, the young man is handsome, and he is fascinated by the Qin family!" ”

Another midwife's grandmother also held the onion handle, gently slapped the baby's buttocks, and said: "One dozen smart, two dozen smart, three dozen talented!" ”

After three beatings, the grandmother handed over the shallots to the maid, and the maid threw them on the roof, implying that she was extremely smart.

At this time, the midwife's grandmother picked up the scale and gestured a few times, and said, "Although the scale is small, it weighs a thousand catties!" With that, he handed it to a maid.

The maid took it casually, pinched up an iron lock, and said in response to the scene: "Son, grow up quickly, in the future, the head is tight, the feet are tight, and the hands are tight!" ”

Listening to the maid's white teeth, she couldn't help laughing, and then bent down to fish out the gold and silver bills thrown by the aunt and daughter-in-law of the Lu family from the bathtub, and tucked them under the baby's armpit on the left and right, and said: "The left is gold, the right is silver, you can't spend it, reward people!" ”

Not to be outdone, another midwife's grandmother raised a bronze mirror to the back of the baby's buttocks, and said with a smile: "Use the treasure mirror to shine on the belly, shit in the white room and clean it in the dark!" ”

Chen Yun saw that they were carrying babies like chickens, which was very interesting and couldn't help but pay attention.

Zhang Jiashi was a loving mother, afraid that the child would be bare and flashing, so she didn't wait for the two midwives to finish saying all the auspicious words, and first ordered someone to wrap up the baby and send it to her.

The two grandmothers were old and sophisticated, and they went out to the outside world at the moment, and invited Niangniang Ma'er, godly money and incense root from the statue of the gods, and sent them to the courtyard for incineration, and then used copper chopsticks to clip the Kang Gong and the Kang Mother God Code and burned them, and finally went to Zhang Jia's to ask for rewards.

Zhang Jia's symbolic reward was a penny, and he rewarded them with all the things in the bathtub.

The two midshipwives smiled from ear to ear, and in a panic they stuffed the gold and silver bills in the bathtub into their pockets, and then withdrew in thanks.

Zhang Jiashi ignored them, just hugged the baby, and coaxed the child to sleep, and then instructed his subordinates to lead the guests to the outside room for dinner.

The meal is very simple, everyone has a bowl of fine noodles, and a few side dishes, which can be regarded as a garnish.

Chen Yun eats

After half a bowl of noodles, I felt light and tasteless, so I drank a bowl of tea to send the taste, and then I resigned to Zhang Jia's family with everyone.

Zhang Jiashi was very polite, thanking everyone for being there, and on the other hand, he said that there was too much red tape for the three rites, and everyone was waiting aside.

Chen Yun and others felt very interesting, not only gained knowledge, but also sent Chenguang away, it is better than staying at home to sew and wash, dismantle and repair.

Zhang Jiashi saw that everyone was talking, and they all said that they had fun today, and they couldn't help but be happy in their hearts, and they also said some scenes to talk about with everyone, and then struck while the iron was hot, and agreed on the post of the full moon banquet, and finally ordered the maid to send Chen Yun and others out of the hospital.
