Chapter 333: Gifts
Pomegranate means many children and many blessings.
Just when Song Mo was looking forward to Dou Zhao's wish coming true, Chen Jia sent a few pomegranate jade pieces carved from mutton fat jade.
He couldn't help but pick up one and play with it under the lamp: "This Chen Jia, I can't see that I still have such eyesight." I underestimated him. ”
The words revealed that he had praise for Chen Jia.
Dou Zhao couldn't help but take a "pomegranate" from the box to watch: "It is carved from a whole piece of mutton fat jade." Such a patchy color is not worth much. But through the hands of this jade master, he actually used this color to make it into a pomegranate, and it became a jade that can be used as an heirloom, and the most rare thing is that it can still make up four or five similar ......" She picked up the remaining "pomegranates" and rubbed them carefully, and said, "It should be divided from a large piece of stone...... But I am afraid that this stone is a discarded thing...... I don't know which jade master's handiwork this is, it's really ingenious......"
Song Mo and Dou Zhao have the same opinion.
These "pomegranates" are the size of a child's fist. Mutton fat jade to white and flawless for the top grade, if a whole piece of intact mutton fat jade stone, even if there is such a complex Qinran, peel it off, can always make a few pairs of small pendants or even large ornaments, but now all made into a "pomegranate", it can be seen that although this stone is large, the jade that can be used for carving is not a whole piece, and this color has penetrated into the jade, even if it is a small pendant, it is not the top grade.
Song Mo saw that Dou Zhao was very interested, and said with a smile: "Call that Chen Jia tomorrow to ask if I don't know who carved it." ”
Dou Zhao shook his head, put the pomegranate back into the box, and said, "Such a delicate thing, even if it is not a treasure of the town store, it is also a treasure in the hands of collectors. Don't say that he is a new brocade guard, even if it is our Dou family who opens an antique shop. I won't be able to find such a good thing for a while-I'm afraid that this thing will come from the wrong way, so it's better to return it! ”
"You have a point." Song Mo said with a smile, and put the pomegranate in his hand into the box, "Although Jinyi Wei is very wild, but he is a new man, and it is not easy to get such a few pieces of jade." ”
There was one more thing he didn't say.
Jin Yiwei Zhen Fu Si did something shady, he liked this gift because he hoped that it would bring good luck to himself and Dou Zhao. But if it's bloody. That's better than not.
He called Chen He, handed him the thing, and said, "Let Du Wei check it, where did this thing come from?" ”
Chen He responded and left.
Where did Song Mo dare to mess with Dou Zhao, and ordered Ganlu to serve her to wash. When she had finished washing, he insisted on carrying her to the bed, as if she were a fragile glass.
Dou Zhao couldn't cry or laugh, and said, "I'm not sick again, and I'm not so bad that I don't even have the strength to walk." ”
"It's better to be careful." Song Mo smiled, but there was seriousness and persistence in his eyes.
Such Song Mo made Dou Zhao happy and helpless. I knew in my heart that Song Mo, who had made up his mind, was not so easy to change his ways.
She let Song Mo carry her to bed.
Song Moqing was a little excited, after washing. Holding Song Zhao in his arms and talking.
"Do you say, are you pregnant with a boy or a girl?" He caressed her jet-black silks for a while.
She knew that Song Mo would ask these questions, and couldn't help laughing: "Do you want to be a boy or a girl?" ”
"It's all good." Song Mo longed, "It's best to be a girl." Everyone else says. It is good to bloom first and then bear fruit. And the girl is careful, and she will take care of your younger siblings in the future. I can also help you with housekeeping...... Let's have a few more, whether it's a boy or a boy, preferably five boys and three girls......"
Dou Zhao sweated violently: "Is it too much?" ”
"Not much, not much." Song Mo said with a smile, "Our Song family's heirs are thin, and we are not as good as someone like the Changxing Marquis Mansion and the Dingguo Mansion to help ......" Before he finished speaking, his voice gradually lowered.
He remembered the bustle and prosperity of the Dingguo Mansion in the past and the decline of today, right?
Dou Zhao hugged Song Mo tightly.
"Let's tell the children to read later." She comforted Song Mo gently, "Don't always fight and kill, it's easy to get into trouble." ”
Song Mo felt Dou Zhao's concern, hugged Dou Zhao hard, and answered her silently.
"When the time comes, I invite my father-in-law to enlighten." He smiled slightly, "Maybe our family will also have a jinshi." ”
Dou Zhao smiled, held his hand, and snuggled in his arms.
The palace lamp on the small pestle next to the bed burst out a few light sparks.
Dou Zhao asked Song Mo softly: "Fifth uncle, are they okay over there?" ”
"It's good." Song Mo played with Dou Zhao's delicate but not soft hands, "It is said that the King of Liao takes good care of him and often sends Changshi to see him, so the people in the guard are very polite to them, Jiang Fangyuan also quietly started a fur and medicinal materials business, not only does not need the Jiang family to take silver to give them some money, but also can support himself and manage his own food and clothing." Oh, Jiang Fangyuan, is my uncle's eldest son, twelve years older than me, when I was at home, I liked to read, I didn't like to practice martial arts, because of this, I was talked about by my uncle, but I didn't expect that now the whole family would rely on him to live; My second cousin Jiang Fangzhong, third cousin Jiang Fangji, and seventh cousin Jiang Fangqi all survived, Jiang Fangzhong is the fourth room, Jiang Fangji is the seventh room, and Jiang Fangqi is the second son of the third uncle......"
He introduced the Jiang family to Dou Zhao.
Dou Zhao only felt sad.
Jiang Meisun's four sons, only Jiang Fangyuan, who was studying at home, survived; The daughter left behind by Jiang Zhusun hanged herself; Jiang Lansun's three sons survived Jiang Fangqi; Of Jiang Songsun's six sons, only the infant son survived; Jiang Baisun left behind the child who still remains in the Tan family and has no genealogy......
Only then did she deeply realize how painful Mrs. Mei's heart was, and how strong Mrs. Mei was.
Song Mo is a child with the blood of the Jiang and Song families.
Is it because of this that he will be stronger than others?
But as the saying goes, crying children have candy to eat.
Is it because of this that he has suffered so much?
Dou Zhao wrapped his arms around Song Mo's neck and kissed his chin.
"What's wrong?" Song Mo lowered his head, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were full of warm smiles.
"It's fine!" Dou Zhao kissed him on the cheek and said. "There are many people in the Jiang family."
"Hmm." Song Mo said with a smile, "There are three inside and nine outside, a total of twelve rooms, as well as the aunts and grandmothers and cousins and cousins of Dagui, I didn't recognize all the relatives in the family until I was nine years old......"
He recalled that year, his expression was vivid and radiant, and he was a little less noble than usual. But there is a little more teenager flying, like a teenager next door, kind, enthusiastic, and real...... But it's so handsome.
Dou Zhao pursed his lips and smiled.
Song Mo may not be able to look like a real boy next door for the rest of his life!
She couldn't help but kiss Song Mo's cheek again.
Song Mo stopped. Quietly looking at her, patiently waiting for her to speak.
"It's fine." Dou Zhao smiled, "I was listening to you talk about the Jiang family!" ”
Song Mo smiled and continued: "I like to follow my fifth uncle to the Shashihai to play in the ice the sea, but every time my grandmother will be very nervous and ask me to bring all the entourage, I know that she thinks that the Song family only has me and my younger brother. I'm afraid of ...... accident."
Dou Zhao looked at Song Mo intently, and a smile kept filling her face.
Skin-to-skin blind date, she can make her unable to herself.
Is this another kind of inadvocacy?
Song Mo suppressed the excitement in his heart, trying his best to make his tone seem bland.
Compared with. He seemed to prefer her preoccupation with staring at him without distraction.
※※※※※※
The next day, just after dawn, Gu Yu ran over.
"God, I'll go to Liaodong. Do you have anything for me to bring to the fifth master? ”
He was wearing a dark fox fur jacket and looked very happy.
Song Mo took a few letters and handed them to Gu Yu. He handed him a big burden: "The letter is for the fifth uncle, and the burden is the food and some commonly used plasters prepared for you by your sister-in-law." ”
Hearing that Dou Zhao had prepared something for him, Gu Yu let out an uneasy "oh" and let the entourage around him take over the burden.
Song Mo had to tell Gu Yu a few words and personally see Gu Yu off.
Chen Qushui begged to see Dou Zhao: "Old lady Tan heard that you have become a relative, so he specially sent Tan Juren's wife to send you a congratulatory gift......
Ask her if she sees it.
Not to mention anything else, the child is still in the Tan family, how can Dou Zhao not see it.
She and Chen Qushui went to the flower hall.
Mrs. Tan is about forty years old, fair-skinned, plump, round face, like a moon, smiling before speaking, making people feel kind when they look at it.
"Folks in the big hometown, Duan Gongyi is also taken care of by you, you also gave a birthday gift when the old lady celebrated his birthday, it stands to reason that he should have come to the door to thank you a long time ago," she looked at Dou Zhao with a smile, looking kind and easy-going, "It's just that the seventh master is in Kyoto, and we have never had any communication with the second lady, so we have to keep our minds in our hearts." No, the old lady heard that you were married to Kyoto and you were already a lady, so we brought a congratulatory gift. Although it is not a good thing, and it is late these days, it is a piece of our heart, and please don't dislike it. As he spoke, he took out the gift list.
The Tan family has been able to live in seclusion for so many years, and it has its own merits.
Although she didn't know why someone from the Tan family suddenly came to visit her, Dou Zhao saw that the gift list was only a thin piece of paper, and the Tan family gave a gift in the form of a return gift, after thinking about it, she still politely accepted the gift list.
Mrs. Tan told her some anecdotes about Zhending, and what she saw and heard along the way.
Dou Zhao changed the topic with Mrs. Tan, and the two talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
After drinking two cups of tea like this, Mrs. Tan offered to visit Duan Gongyi's mother: "...-Since I have come to Kyoto, I have to go and say hello." ”
Dou Zhao accompanied Mrs. Tan to the courtyard where Duan Gongyi lived.
Duan's mother had difficulty moving, so Duan Gongyi carried it out of the inner room and met Dou Zhao and Mrs. Tan in the hall.
Mrs. Tan sent some medicinal materials to Duan's mother, and said something to make Duan Gongyi have a chance, and asked Duan's mother not to worry, so that she could give birth and recuperate, and then got up and said goodbye.
It seems that he came to Kyoto just to give Dou Zhao a congratulatory gift.
She was a little surprised, and quietly sent Mrs. Tan out of Yizhitang.
On the way back, she asked Chen Qushui, "Do you know why Mrs. Tan came?" ”
Chen Qushui shook his head, also confused.
Dou Zhao instructed Ganlu to bring the Tan family's gift list.
It's just ordinary screens, porcelain, etc., exquisite, but not precious.
"It seems that only soldiers will come to block it, and the water will flood!" Dou Zhao smiled and sighed.
