Chapter Forty-Six: The Baptism Banquet for the Guests

One day later, it was the baptism of the second girl of the Su family.

Su Man had breakfast in the morning, and then dressed up and went to the second room.

Just bypassed the hand-copying verandah, Su Man saw the mother next to Chang's side in the second room leading several women over.

When the mother saw Su Man, she immediately greeted her with a smile, curtsy to her, and said, "Big girl, are you going to live in peace?" ”

Su Man bowed: "Grandmother told me to come over early, saying that I would see if there was anything to be busy with, and I would be able to help with it." ”

The smile on the mother's face deepened: "It's really hard for our eldest girl, it's too busy over there at this time, Mrs. Bo and Mrs. Third are busy inside and out, and it's just right that you went." ”

Su Man chuckled lightly and raised his eyes to look at the women.

The mother hurriedly pointed to Su Man and introduced to the women: "This is the eldest girl of our uncle's mansion," she turned her head to look at Su Man again, "Girl, this is the eldest sister of my wife's sister-in-law, Mrs. Shouchangbo." Both of them are girls from Bofu. ”

Su Man hurriedly bent his knees and saluted the woman: "I've seen Mrs. Bo." ”

Mrs. Shou Changbo is somewhat similar to Chang's eyebrows, but she doesn't have Chang's fierce spirit, but she is more kind.

She hurriedly stretched out her hand to help Su Man up, looked at Su Man with a smile, and praised: "It is said that the girl in our Bofu is the most water spirit, and when I saw it today, it was really so." As she spoke, she took out a green bracelet from her arms and stuffed it into Su Man's hand, "As soon as I heard that Zhiniang gave birth to a girl, I forgot everything in my heart, and I rushed here." This bracelet is also passable, don't mind the big girl. ”

Su Man held the bracelet in his hand, and felt that the bracelet was not big, and the lady on the other side would never be able to wear it.

Then, this bracelet is a meeting gift specially prepared for herself by this Mrs. Bo.

In front of others, Su Man didn't look at the bracelet carefully, and only bent his knees slightly to thank Mrs. Bo.

Mrs. Shou Changbo exchanged a few more words with Su Man, and then followed the mother to the direction of the Compassion Courtyard.

When the person walked away, Su Man took out the bracelet in his hand and looked at it carefully.

Although she didn't know much about these jade jadeites and the like, the whole body of this bracelet was turquoise, oily and smooth, and she couldn't even see a little bit of wool in the middle. Even she could see that the bracelet was worth a lot.

Dai Lan on the side glanced at it, covered her mouth and exhaled in a low voice: "This Mrs. Shou Changbo is really generous." ”

Su Man handed the bracelet to Dailan, and ordered in a low voice: "Take it first, in the end, it is a part of the family's heart, and I will talk to my grandmother about this matter when I go back." ”

……

In the settlement of peace, the Xie family and the Zheng family have already arrived, and they are discussing the matter of the three baptisms with the Chang family at this time.

After Su Man saluted with a few people, he went around the cubicle to see the little doll.

The milk doll seemed to be full at this moment, and was lying alone in the cradle with her mouth chirping, and her red face was more open than the previous two days, and she no longer looked like a wrinkled little old man.

When the nurse saw Su Man coming, she smiled and saluted Su Man: "The big girl is here." ”

Su Man answered and leaned over to look at the little baby, and the more he looked at it for a while, the rarer it became, and then he looked up and asked the nurse: "Can I hug my sister?" ”

The nurse is also a cool person, hearing Su Man's question, she immediately picked up the doll and handed it to Su Man's arms, still muttering: "The eldest girl likes the second girl, and the second girl also likes the eldest girl the most." ”

Su Man carefully held the little milk baby in his arms, watched her spit out strings of saliva bubbles, and said with a smile: "I've waited for many years to be considered a sister, so can I like her the most." ”

The little doll seemed to be responding to Su Man's words, and she also babbled and sang.

The nurse also smiled happily when she saw this: "What the eldest girl said is that even our second girl said that you are right." ”

The physical people here were talking lively, but Xie Shi opened the curtain and came in, looking at Su Man hugging his sister, and he also smiled with crooked eyebrows: "You will be lazy here, the guests should arrive in a while, why don't you hurry up and follow your third aunt to the Hanging Flower Gate." ”

Su Man responded, and very reluctantly returned the little doll to the nurse's arms, and muttered in a low voice: "I'll come to see you when my sister is done." ”

The nurse smiled and agreed, and Su Man withdrew from the West Room with the Xie family.

Because Xie is also pregnant, it is not good to work too hard, so most of the three baptisms this time are handled by Zheng.

Zheng followed Zheng to stand behind the shadow wall of the Hanging Flower Gate, watching Zheng smile and talk to a few mothers-in-law in charge.

Zheng Shi wore a peach-colored makeup gown and combed a complicated peony hair, which made her look very graceful.

On weekdays, I rarely see Zheng dressed so brightly, and I think I have put a lot of thought into dressing up today.

There are a lot of guests in the house today, and there are always thirty or fifty tables.

Because a group of ladies and wives had seen the old lady, the Zheng family brought them back to the house.

Su Man was entertaining a group of girls in the water pavilion.

The girls came to the water pavilion and told the girls to retreat outside, and then they started chatting with a smile.

Xie Ying grabbed Su Man's arm and asked with a smile: "I heard that when your second aunt gave birth, you rushed into the delivery room and delivered your sister?" ”

Su Man was embarrassed, thinking that this was all a rumor from somewhere.

She turned her head to look at the other girls, but saw that everyone was looking at her with admiration, and she knew that this was a big misunderstanding.

"Where do I have such skills, it is Mama Feng who personally goes into battle, and my sister can be born smoothly." Su Man smiled helplessly, "I just went in and reprimanded those useless midwives for a few words, but in fact, I didn't help anything." ”

"The eldest girl is humble when she says this," Wang Yan, the third girl from Shouchangbo's Mansion, covered her mouth and smiled, "I just heard from my aunt that if there was no eldest girl in charge, my little cousin would not have come out so smoothly." ”

Su Man hurriedly waved his hand: "The second aunt was groggy at that time, how can I know these details, I'm afraid that I heard me reprimand my mother-in-law, I don't dare to take such a big credit." ”

A group of girls giggled when they saw Su Man's tight refusal to admit it.

"But you are also powerful, I heard that women give birth to children in the ghost gate, if this thing changes me, I am afraid that my feet will be weak, where do you dare to rush into the delivery room." Lin Xuan, who was sitting on the side, said with a smile, "You are just different from us." ”

The other girls also praised Su Man, and Su Man felt even more embarrassed.

She really just went into the delivery room and said a couple of words, and everyone said that she was like a midwife.
