Chapter 429: It's Spring Again
In the busyness of the year, time is like an arrow, and it will soon be the end of the year...... Chinese New Year's Eve, the first month, when the fifteenth day passes, bid farewell to the lively New Year, and the sixteenth year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty really begins.
Rongfu, Sister Feng's courtyard, Ping'er courtyard.
The attacker passed through the moon gate, came to the upper room, and entered Ping'er's bedroom in the crisp voice of the little maid outside the door.
Wearing a big sweater, Ping'er with a bulging abdomen is sitting on the kang bed doing needlework, her body and movements are clumsier than in the past, she just raised her head, the light was bright, and the attacker had already picked up the curtain and came in, and she was busy putting the needlework in her hands, and greeted with a smile, "It's a cold day, don't come to the kang to sit!" ”
The attacker smiled and said, "How can I sit now?" and sat down on the edge of the kang and asked casually, "You are so idle, you have nothing to do, what kind of work are you doing?" ”
Ping'er said, "Just make a pair of little shoes." ”
When the attacker heard this, he glanced at her waist and said with a smile, "It's still five or six months, so you're busy?" ”
Listening to her joke, Ping'er smiled and said, "Don't make fun of me, now that the three grandmothers over there have passed the door, you and Musk Yue are also about to go, at that time, see what you say?" Won't you make a belly pocket, a little shoe, and a little hat for an unborn child? ”
The attacker couldn't help but blush.
She naturally knew what Ping'er meant, it was nothing more than that now Jia Wei married three grandmothers at the same time, as long as one of the two rooms of Baochai and Daiyu was successfully pregnant and had a child, she and Musk Yue would not have to hinder the rules of contraception, and they could rest assured that they would conceive a child.
This rule is to ensure that the wife gives birth to the eldest son, and if the concubine gives birth to a child before the wife's room, the "eldest son" in this "eldest son" will be gone.
Of course, generally speaking, within two or three years, if the wife does not show her pregnancy, or if she gives birth to all daughters, the rules will not be rules.
Therefore, she is indeed fast with the musk moon, as short as a year, as long as two or three years, and it is possible to become a mother.
She couldn't pick up this topic, Ping'er pursed her lips and took the initiative to divert it, asking her what she was doing.
The attacker said to her, "We are running out of charcoal and incense over there, so come and get some back." I went to Feng'er to get a pair of cards, and handed over the things to a few rough maids, I took a leisure, and asked your grandmother to have a look, and I went to your house to take a look. ”
Ping'er lowered her voice and smiled, "What's the matter with me." As I say, you don't have to come. Now you have a mountain of gold and silver over there, not to mention Bao Erye's own belongings, just the dowries of the three grandmothers, you can't finish it in a few lifetimes, these expenses, you also come to get the public middle school with a shy face? ”
The attacker laughed, "You don't chew your tongue, it's been two months since the wedding, and you still mention the dowries of the three grandmothers!" ”
Ping'er smiled, "Where is this?" Let me tell you, yesterday Grandma Zhen from Dongfu came to laugh with our grandmother, and also mentioned this matter. ”
The attacker smiled and said nothing.
Men and women marry, the most talked-about is the woman's dowry, the second grandfather's wedding, the three grandmothers' dowries are huge, staggering, so although two months have passed, these housekeepers and daughters-in-law, maids-in-law, and even wives and grandmothers are still talking from time to time, it is not surprising.
Among them, the dowry brought by the Xue sisters is as much as sixty-four lifts of head and face jewelry, rouge and gouache alone, not to mention a few boxes of tables, antique ornaments, four seasons clothes, etc., which one is not hundreds of lifts? In addition, the fertile land, shops, and real estate in the capital are all complete, and they are worth tens of thousands, which really corresponds to the proverb of the Xue family - "pearls are like earth, gold is like iron".
The dowry brought by Miss Lin was also extremely rich.
Miss Lin's dowry was purchased by the old lady, not only did the old lady take out tens of thousands of taels of silver from the ladder, but the second master paid out of his own pocket and quietly stuffed more than 100,000 taels of silver to the old lady, as Miss Lin's dowry.
As a godmother, Aunt Xue also took out tens of thousands of taels of silver to buy a dowry for Miss Lin.
Later, the old lady added another more than ten acres of Beijing Grange, and the second master added another Beijing property and two Beijing shops, which looked even better.
In this way, before the wedding, when giving makeup, Miss Lin was like the Xue family sisters, and all kinds of utensils were sent over by dozens or hundreds, and there was no shortage of fertile land, real estate, and shops in the capital, although it was slightly inferior to the Xue family sisters, it was enough to be decent.
Ping'er saw that she was slightly distracted, and she didn't care, and then followed the topic of You's and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, I remember that Grandma Zhen also mentioned the necklaces of your three grandmothers, saying that they are all good, and they can't be seen anywhere else, but you can know the mind of the second master Bao!" ”
The attacker smiled again and remained silent.
These three necklaces were given to the three grandmothers by the second master on the day after the wedding, and half a month later, she and Musk Yue also got a necklace each.
For their wives and concubines, this gift is undoubtedly precious.
The three grandmothers wear it every day, even if it is Grandma Bao, who doesn't like ornaments the most on weekdays, it is no exception.
She and Musk Yue are not good to wear them together with the newlywed grandmothers at this time, so as not to be abrupt, so they are carefully put away, thinking that it will not be too late to wear them in a year or two.
Since they have never revealed it to others, no one knows that they also got a unique and exquisite necklace from the second master.
After sitting for a while, talking a lot back and forth, the attacker got up and said goodbye.
Ping'er smiled, "Let's go back quickly." Now that you have a large population and miscellaneous things, Grandma Bao and Grandma Lin have not returned home for a while, and their own capable maids have also followed, leaving only Grandma Qin, Xiaoluo and Xiaoli are young, and they don't do anything, and everything is inseparable from you and Musk Yue, otherwise Grandma Qin is not enough to have three heads and six arms. ”
Just a while ago, an old lady in the palace died, and the homes of the nobles and lords in Beijing were all in the court system, and then the spirit was invited to enter the mausoleum, because the mausoleum was ten days away from the capital, and it was parked for a few days in the middle, so it took nearly a month for the people to go to the sacrifice to return home.
Like other mansions, the two mansions of Ningrong, from the old lady down, are serious masters, except for pregnant women, widows, girls who have not left the cabinet, and the young Yiyi do not have to go, and the rest have gone.
Therefore, there are You Shi, Sister Feng, Aunt Xue, Li Kun, Yingchun, Tanchun, Xichun, Jia Lan, Jia Cong and others. Among them, Sister Feng is pregnant, and You Shi falsely reported childbirth and left the assistant to manage the affairs of the two governments.
Of course, Baoqin also stayed, although she is the concubine of her cousins, her status is extremely high, and she also has a very formal name, but if you are serious, after all, she is not a serious master, and it is not good to go against the rules.
When she stayed, Baochai's financial management naturally fell on her, and she was very idle all day.
Raider and Musk Moon are two assistants on the side, and they are even more busy.
That's why Ping'er said this.
At this time, she said, calling Grandma Bao, Grandma Lin, and Grandma Qin, and she felt funny.
Called it like this, there is no way, there is only one grandmother in the family, Bao Er Ye married two wives and a concubine at the same time, naturally he can't be called "Bao Er Grandma", he can only be called "Bao Girl", "Lin Girl" and "Qin Girl", and replace the word "girl" with "grandma".
The attacker was about to go out with the curtain, but when he heard her say this, he stopped again, "No, there are seventy or eighty people brought over by the three grandmothers, and we have added some people in the front yard, and now there are hundreds of people in the front yard and the back yard...... This is second, now the headache is that these people are crowded together, which one can stand it after a long time, I just hope that the five houses outside will be cleaned up as soon as possible, and we can move in! ”
Ping'er listened, smiled and shook her head.
Returning to Yihong Courtyard, the attacker soon came to the upper hall and said to Baoqin: "...... Grandma, the charcoal and incense are all received, and they can be used until the end of the month, and then at the beginning of next month...... In addition, there will be more rain next month, and umbrellas and geta will have to be brought back in advance at the beginning of next month......"
Baoqin was dressed in a big pink sweater and a plum blossom pleated skirt, sitting in front of the table, with books, abacus and other things on the table, smiling and listening to what the attacker said, "Sister can do these things carefully, don't ask me, I can trust my sister." "Raider has served Jia Wei since childhood, and she is the first one to be an aunt among the maids, with a good personality and behavior, and she is also respectful.
After a brief conversation, after a while, the attacker left the hall and went on other errands.
Bao Qin retracted her gaze, cast her eyes on the books and abacus in front of her, and raised her eyebrows with some distress, "It would be nice if my cousin stayed, these things, I watched her do them easily, but now it's my turn to do them, but it's very annoying......"
PS: Thank you for the tips from Mumeng, Siberian wolves, and Xifenghe! For the section of the old lady's illness, see the fifty-fifth and fifty-eighth chapters of the original work // Another: In the previous chapter about Baoqin's mental description, the text expression "worried that Jia Wei despised her" was ambiguous, and it has been modified to "worry about treating her as a concubine".
