Chapter 295: Gift-giving
Tang Ming is not a traditional person, and he explained early on that Chen Jialan's first child must be surnamed Zheng, and it is good to be a daughter, otherwise Zheng He and the old housekeeper don't know what to become. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Chen Jialan has given birth to a child, except for Tang Ming who is the most nervous person, then he will be the old housekeeper. The old man, who has never believed in ghosts and gods, has been cramming Buddha since early this morning, hiding in the Buddhist hall that has just been made to worship the Buddha and recite scriptures.
Pray for the safety of Chen Jialan's mother and son, and the most important thing is that it must be a boy, so that the old Zheng family can really have descendants. It's a pity that this will come down and hurriedly report that he gave birth to a girl, although he is disappointed, but this is always the first child of the Zheng family, and it is better than nothing.
The old housekeeper left the Buddhist hall that he had just been concentrating on, his old face was already smiling like a flower, and he hurriedly came to Tang Ming with nearly ten aunts and a wet nurse who had been selected a long time ago.
The newborn baby was no different from a monkey, but from the contours of its face, it could still be seen that it was very similar to Tang Ming. The child was no longer crying, squinting her eyes and falling asleep in Tang Ming's arms, her even and long breathing showing her health.
Finally became a father, Tang Ming was finally satisfied at the moment, and carried the child to her mother's bed, only to see Chen Jialan as if he was prostrating, and it was difficult to even breathe. The pale face is not as ruddy as before, but there is a sense of happiness in his expression.
"Thank you, ma'am." Tang Ming handed the child over to the aunt who was waiting beside him, took Chen Jialan's hand, and caressed Chen Jialan's pale face lovingly.
Chen Jialan smiled back, blinked his eyes and said mischievously: "It's not hard, next time I will give birth to a few more boys for the Tang family." ā
Tang Ming was happy now, he thought that Chen Jialan would be so frightened by the pain of giving birth that he would not dare to regenerate in the future. Unexpectedly, as soon as she opened her mouth, she wanted to give herself a few more, this is something Tang Ming couldn't ask for, in his mind, it was best to give birth to twelve, so that the family would not be deserted in the future, and it would be so lively and lively.
When you get old, your children and grandchildren will surround you and call yourself grandpa, and you will feel happy when you think about it. Tang Ming nodded and said with a smile: "As long as you want to give birth, I will give birth to you, and we will give birth as much as you want." But this girl doesn't know what to call it, so she really has to think about it. ā
Before Chen Jialan could speak in a hurry, a voice sounded at the door first: "If you want to mention the name, the young master should go to Lord Yao." He has always been the ancestor of this child, and he is the most suitable name to choose, and I believe that Lord Fang will not have any opinions when the time comes. ā
Tang Ming followed the prestige, only to see the old housekeeper coming in a hurry, and more than a dozen aunts behind him also swarmed in.
This really made Tang Ming guess correctly, but as soon as the old housekeeper entered the door, he immediately removed the original service Chen Jialan and the children, and replaced them with the people he brought, as if he ignored Chen Jialan and Tang Ming.
Seeing this, Tang Ming was about to express his dissatisfaction, but he didn't expect the old housekeeper to continue: "And the young master, the young lady is now the master of the Zheng Mansion, and she must also live in the Zheng Mansion in the future, so after your Hou Mansion is built, you will move over, and the young lady must also live in the Zheng Mansion." ā
Hearing this, Tang Ming finally understood why the old butler was suddenly so strong, and also understood why when he was enthroned in the Hou Mansion, the old butler would become a source of gains and losses. In the final analysis, he was afraid that he would move out of the Zheng Mansion.
Tang Ming's mood was understandable, so he didn't bother with him about this trivial matter. Now that the Hou Mansion has just started construction, it will not be built well in two or three years, and it will have to live in the Zheng Mansion for a long time.
Tang Ming and Chen Jialan looked at each other and smiled, and the two of them acquiesced to the old housekeeper's arrangement. It is a good thing that one more person cares about the child, and it is also a blessing for the child, and there is no need for parents to be serious about such a thing.
Weihai Houjia gave birth to a daughter, this matter is not a trivial matter in Nanjing City, there is no way, who called Tang Ming's prestige among the people is good, and his popularity is also good. And the most important thing is that the old housekeeper is behind the scenes, insisting on making the children's ten-day banquet vigorous.
Tang Ming originally thought that it would be good to do it simply, but after telling the old housekeeper three or four times to no avail, he simply stopped participating and left it to the old housekeeper to arrange.
The first to come to congratulate him were Zheng He's colleagues, those eunuchs in the palace, including Hou Xian, this guy is now firmly sitting in the position of the governor of Dongchang, and he has the power to ask for money and money, and the most important thing is that there are many people under him.
In order to curry favor with Zheng He and Tang Ming, this guy can be regarded as having made a lot of money, and the congratulatory gift alone made people pull a whole carriage. Rare treasures are not a problem, and there are many strange things, these things Tang Ming can't even look at.
He still looked at a large piece of jade with perfect texture inside, and if this thing was made into a jade pendant, it was estimated that there would be twenty of them. The old housekeeper was ashamed of Tang Ming's vision, even if this jade was the most ordinary, like those pearl agate, and those ginseng medicinal materials, it was not better than that jade.
Tang Mingcai didn't care about the old butler's strange eyes, he held the jade and walked away, he was going to carve this thing into a jade pendant that could be worn on his body, and collect it as a family heirloom. China has had a soft spot for jade since ancient times, and the burial goods are not the most valuable jade during archaeology.
And the longer the jade, the more valuable it is, and it is definitely the first must-have thing for home collection.
Hearing that Tang Ming was overjoyed, Zhu Gaochi, a sworn friend, naturally couldn't help but say that he had just come to the door with a mysterious object.
"Smack!"
After the sound of a heavy object falling on the wooden table, Zhu Gaochi said with a mysterious expression: "I heard that Weihaihou likes this jade, this time I specially went to the treasure house in the palace to pick this large piece for you as a gift, how about it?" Righteous enough. ā
Tang Ming curiously opened the exquisite yellow flower Li wooden box outside, and regretted Zhu Gao's violent destruction of heavenly things. If this box is taken to modern times, it will definitely be a priceless treasure, but this guy just uses it to hold jade, and throws this box like garbage.
Fortunately, the wood of this box is indeed hard enough, and it is not damaged at all when it is messed around like this by Zhu Gaochi. The gift is not bad, and Tang Ming is also very satisfied with the jade inside, but Zhu Gaochi and his father, the two top men in the Ming Dynasty, will never give things away in vain.
This will be their daughter to move the banquet for ten days, Zhu Gaochi diligently sent such a generous gift, which must have something to ask for himself, otherwise with their character, they would definitely not easily come up with such a valuable gift. (To be continued.) )
