Chapter 244: Jade Spider
Heavenly Blessing landed on September 11, according to the ancient rites, girls are born thirty days after the full moon, and boys are only counted at twenty-nine days. Therefore, the full moon ceremony of Heavenly Blessing is the ninth day of October.
Because of Cao Quan's funeral, he couldn't hold a banquet, so he only invited Yizhou Zhizhou Ye Fu and his wife to watch the ceremony. After today, Chu Yu will no longer have to be confined.
After a month of recuperation, Chu Yu's complexion was very good, and his skin became fairer and fairer. Although the pregnancy spots on the forehead have not disappeared, they are faint and shallow, and they are not very obvious.
This is counted, Cao Hao and Chu Yu have lived separately for more than four months, and the sexual affairs have been banned since Chu Yu was pregnant.
Originally, when Cao Hao was unscrupulous, he was still counting Chu Yu's postpartum son. According to the doctor, sexual intercourse should be avoided within a month and a half after giving birth. However, due to mourning, this deadline must be postponed for some time. Otherwise, as a nephew, if he impregnates his wife during the mourning vigil, this will also be condemned by the world.
Li and Chu Yu got along for half a month, and the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law became deeper. Li himself is not a picky and troublesome person, and Chu Yu is very well-behaved when he speaks and acts. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are both wearing plain clothes, and there is just a silver hairpin or a small comb or something on their heads, and they are both gentle and demure surnames. looks more like a mother and daughter than a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Cao Hao saw it, and his heart was also happy, and he said that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was a big problem, if it was really that they didn't get along well, then he would definitely not feel good in the middle, and he had to bother to mediate.
However, the Li family couldn't stay longer, after all, there was still a large family in Jiangning to take care of, and the luggage had been packed, so he would leave for Jiangning tomorrow.
Although Cao Hao was reluctant, he was not worried about Cao Yin's body, so he did not keep it. Chu Yu is also here, just the various tonics sent by the capital a few days ago, picking ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, which prolong life, and asking someone to pack a few big bags and bring them to his father-in-law.
Tianyou's name hasn't come out yet, and it seems that he has to wait for a hundred days or a year old, or he has to wait for admission. Cao Hao thought about himself, it seemed that he had a big name after a few years of age, and he was no longer so eager for his son's name.
Wu'er can already call people, and can walk steadily, when he sees Li, he may not remember, but he will still follow the reminder of **, called "Uncle Niang".
Chu Yu and Cao Hao both like Wu'er very much, not to mention the pink carving, and they are very quiet and well-behaved. No matter who hugs, he is not afraid of people, and sometimes he says a few words in teasing; Sometimes he just laughs and doesn't say a word, and he is clever and clever.
After Cao Quan died of illness, Gao Taijun got the news and was very uneasy about the child he had taken care of for a year, and wrote to Jiang Ning, repeatedly telling his daughter to treat this hard-working niece more favorably.
This time when he returned to Jiangning, whether to bring his niece back or not, the Li family was also quite hesitant. Now in this house, Tianyou has just reached the full moon, Chu Yu is a mother for the first time, and it is not easy to take care of a child, plus five children, it is really hard. However, considering that if it is cold today, I will toss back and forth, and I am afraid that Wu'er will not be able to stand it, so I thought about waiting for the spring of next year to see Zhao Jia's attitude before making a decision.
Thinking about the Li family's return to Jiangning, in addition to Cao Hao and his wife, there is also the maid jade spider in the main courtyard of West Road.
Cao Song, as the eldest son of his parents, has to cut down his father for three years. Although it is actually only 27 months, only four months have passed, and there will be nearly two full years of filial piety, and it will not be until September of the 53rd year of Kangxi that filial piety can be removed.
Sitting in front of the dresser, looking at the appearance in the mirror, Jade Spider thought, she would be twenty years old by then, even if she was younger, where could she compare with those little girls? I didn't regret it in my heart, the second master acted rudely, and he didn't have half a heart of pity and cherishing jade, where is a good match?
Compared with him, the uncle is the best choice regardless of his character and appearance, or his future title.
Every time she thought of this, she couldn't help but scold Zhu'er and Cui'er in her heart, even if she complained about Amethyst. You must know that the eight of them were personally selected by their wives, and they were to be sent to Kwai Yuan to wait for the uncle. Uncle Bisheng was on the grassland at the time, and his wife was in a hurry to go back to the south, and their identities were unknown.
When the uncle came back, I didn't know what kind of bewitchment Zhu'er and Cui'er had, but he didn't leave the eight of them. Then, the eldest of the people, Lianqiu and Xiqiu, went to the Banyan Courtyard, and Chunya, Xia Fu, Qiu Xuan, and Dong Zhi were four people with some similar figures and teeth, and they followed the three girls, and she and Jade Dragonfly came to wait for the second master.
Now I see that Zhu'er and Cui'er can't go up or down, but none of them have landed, and the jade spider is also gloating. This is the noble daughter of the heavenly family, she is very kind in front of people, and she looks kind, even if she is a nameless girl like her and Jade Dragonfly, she has no contempt and contempt.
Thinking of Mama Ye who was sent back to the palace with a gray face, and then thinking about the joy rain that was left in the capital mansion to see the best color of the garden, Jade Spider snorted coldly in her heart, but she was just a jealous woman, if this fetus was not a lucky son, even if she was the lord of the county, could you stop the uncle from taking a concubine to collect the house?
In the world, there are a few men who don't love sex, even if they look at the uncle who has always been polite, isn't there still a time when "the golden house hides the beauty"? If it weren't for the identity of the county lord, and the death of the second master of Jiang Ning, there would be an extra aunt and grandmother in the mansion now.
Remembering that the county lord and the uncle had left the house in early June, and after that, no one mentioned the matter of "Jinwu Zangjiao" anymore, and Jade Spider was a little frightened. Thinking about himself again, it would be good if the housewife was a good person, otherwise I don't know what the end would be, and the rough man of the second master can't count on it.
Thinking of the nephews Cao Yanxiao and Cao Yanwei who I saw during the "Washing Three" and "Full Moon Ceremony", they acted and looked good, although they had married their grandmothers, they were all supporting their parents in the south, and the living conditions here were just little maids waiting.
I heard that some time ago, someone wanted to Zhang Luona Xiaoxing for the two brothers, but just in time for Cao Quan to die, the two went back to the funeral with Cao Hao, and they had to serve five months of "small work", so the matter was delayed.
If I hadn't gone one step further, wouldn't it be much better to be an uncontrolled "niece and grandma" than this nameless and shareless girl?
Although Young Master Yanxiao is mediocre in appearance, Young Master Yanwei is handsome, and Jade Spider is also a woman. Thinking about today's full moon ceremony, Young Master Yanwei seemed to look at her with a blank look, didn't he also look at her good looks and have a mind? Thinking of this, she only felt that her heart was beating badly, and her face was already flushed.
At this moment, I heard someone say, "Sister Spider, what's wrong with you?" If your face is so red, it can't be a cold or fever, right? ”
It was the jade dragon who came, and Fang just called the door a few times outside, and when he saw that she didn't answer, he pushed the door in.
The jade spider was frightened, her body trembled, the flush on her face dissipated, and only the miserable white remained, and she couldn't help glaring at the jade dragon with disgust: "Bad girl, so silent, which one do you want to scare to death?" ”
After putting the stack of clothes in her hand on the kang, Jade Dragon said with a slight grievance: "I just called my sister several times, but my sister didn't answer!" I don't know what my sister thinks, so distracted! ”
Jade Spider was a little weak-hearted, and just saw the box of rouge made by the "Furong Fang" in the capital on the dresser, and said casually: "It's not that I saw the little master, I think of the third girl, if there is no little moon, the child will be a month older than our little master!" ”
Hearing this, Jade Dragon hurriedly said: "Sister, shut up, isn't Xia Fu a thousand instructions and ten thousand instructions, don't you let us mention it?" Uncle has always had the strongest relationship with the three girls, if he knew, I don't know what would happen! After all, it's the master's business, since the three girls don't want to tell their mother's family, we shouldn't know! ”
This has to start from the first month, when they have to follow Amethyst and Mr. Zhuang to the south.
With the third girl Cao Yi married to one of the four maids of the Jueluo family, Xia Fu, and Jade Dragon are fellow villagers, and they have been together for the longest time in the hands of the people, and the relationship is very close. Therefore, when Cao Yi went to say goodbye to Amethyst and the others, Xia Fu also came over to say goodbye to the little sister.
During the conversation, Xia Fu unintentionally slipped her mouth, and said that Cao Yi had a miscarriage a year ago, and was heard by the jade spider who came in to look for the jade dragonfly.
The Cao family has strict rules, and it has always been the most taboo for people to spread gossip, although Xia Fu said a few words for the girl's grievances, but she didn't dare to let these gossip out. Otherwise, no matter what happens to the Cao family, I'm afraid that the girl's side will not be able to keep her waiting. begged for the jade dragon and the jade spider in every way, and almost forced the two to make an oath, so they settled down.
Seeing that Jade Dragonfly was acting so obediently, Jade Spider was impatient, and couldn't help frowning, adding some sadness to her face, and said with red eyes: "Sister Dragonfly is so ruthless, not to mention that the third girl is the uncle's sister-in-law and the second master's sister-in-law, even if she treats us, she has always been kind and pleasant!" Bisheng suffered such a big grievance, but he didn't even have anyone to talk to. Although there are big girls and Fujin in Beijing, I'm afraid I can't take care of them. I don't even know about our house, so where will I let those two houses know? There is no reason not to find your mother's brother, but to find your mother's sister to complain! ”
Jade Dragonfly listened, and was also sad for Cao Yi, and couldn't speak for a while.
Jade Spider pretended to wipe away her tears, and said: "Now that I think about it, we have been hiding it for a long time, although we are worthy of Xia Fu, we are sorry for the uncle and the second master!" My sisters have been wronged like this, but they are brothers and younger brothers who don't even make a little movement, maybe they will be more and more proud of the third aunt! Even when others talk about it, they only think that our house is easy to bully! Now, the third girl has to mourn for the second master, and if the uncle does something again, I am afraid that the third girl will be wronged and die! ”
Jade Dragonfly muttered: "Ping said that when I heard the second master mention the third aunt, I only said that it was good, how could it be like this!" It's the appearance of our three girls, which one of them has lost? Qiu Xuan and Dong Zhi are also two, and their consciences have called the dog to eat, not to mention that the three girls have always been good to others; It's just that you have no name and no share, how can you earn a house? It's not a slave yet, and when you give birth to a child in the future, you can only stand and wait! ”
Jade Dragonfly's words, although they were the truth, made Jade Spider a little uncomfortable listening to them. She has been bored in the past few months, and when she mentions Cao Yi's matter now, her eyes roll, and she faintly has some thoughts of watching a drama in her heart.
I don't know what it would be like for the always steady uncle in the house and the reckless second master in the south to know that their sister has been wronged like this in her mother-in-law's house? Is it scolding, or is it not caring?
Men, it's really strange, they are only allowed to spoil other people's girls at will, and when it falls on their own sisters, how many people will be able to stand it? Thinking of this, she couldn't hold back a smile, and secretly thought that it would be good if she was still in Beijing, maybe she would be able to sing all the martial arts; Now that they are so far apart, what else can they do except complain and send two stewards to send a letter to reprimand?
The jade spider made up her mind, glanced at the clothes on the kang, and asked, "This is what Sister Dragonfly sewed for the second master?" ”
Jade Dragon nodded and said, "Yes, although the second master is not short of these over there, but he has been idle in the past few months, so he fiddled with these, and Ming'er asked his wife to bring them to the second master." Sister Spider, is there anything you want to carry? ”
Jade Spider frowned inadvertently, and said with a smile: "I have been sad for the second master in the past few months, and I haven't used the needle and thread much, only two plain purses, and a letter to the second master to complain, I was thinking about packing up a piece, and Mrs. Tuo brought it over!" ”
Jade Dragonfly said: "Or my sister is careful, where will there be less clothes over there?" However, these small objects may not be thought of by anyone. "Speaking of which, I praised the jade spider for its good knowledge.
At the beginning, the eight of them who were bought were all conditioned by others and knew some words. However, because she is a maid, she mostly knows a few words and knows the accounts; The only people who can read a book and write a letter are the three sisters of Lianqiu and Jade Spider.
The jade spider was very proud in her heart, but her face was just mediocre, and when the jade dragon went out, Fang looked for pen and ink, and wrote a letter to Cao Song thickly.
