101 Entering Beijing
When she was pregnant with Xiaoyuer at the beginning, Jin Niang discussed with Xu Erlang about the country's breast milk.
Xu Erlang is not a pedantic person, and he doesn't think there's anything wrong with a decent woman breastfeeding her own children. So for Jin Niang's proposal, he agreed.
But thinking that Jinniang would not milk soon after giving birth, and that she would be very tired from breastfeeding at night and night, so she found a nurse again.
Jin Niang also got up early today to get milk, and the little fish were all eaten by the nurse before. But now that she has colostrum, and the little fish is also hungry and has been arching into her arms, Jin Niang clumsily untied her clothes and began to feed the little fish.
She is not skilled in her movements, and she needs the help of the nurse to adjust her posture in order to let the little one drink the milk. And because it was the first time to breastfeed, and it was the first time to expose her body in front of outsiders, Jinniang was very uncomfortable.
Fortunately, Xiao Yu'er has a small appetite now, but after eating for a while, she fell asleep, so Jin Niang breathed a sigh of relief, quickly put her clothes on, and let the nurse take Xiao Yu'er back.
Xiao Yu'er slept, and Jin Niang was also tired, and soon fell asleep. This sleep until lunch, Jin Niang woke up and sat on the bed for a while, and then asked the girls to bring food over.
She is still worried about Xu Erlang, worried that he is in a hurry there now, whether he has eaten lunch well, and whether he has encountered robbers.
Thoughtless, I didn't eat well, and my spirit became sluggish.
Fortunately, Jin Niang's self-consciousness is not bad, and she quickly realized that she has no benefit at all except harming her body.
During the confinement period, you should worry less, be less melancholy, be in a cheerful mood, and be able to talk and laugh. At the same time, she also has to eat and sleep well, and slowly make up for the loss of her body.
It's useless to think about anything else now, no matter how much she thinks, Xu Erlang's things and personal feelings that should be encountered along the way will still be encountered, and they will not change because of her will. So what is she still worried about? She still eats well, sleeps well, raises her daughter, and recuperates her body.
Jin Niang wanted to open it, and her mood was relaxed, and she had a good night's sleep and slept directly until she got up early the next day.
She was comfortable, but Xu Erlang felt uncomfortable.
He had only been away from home for a day, and he felt uncomfortable everywhere. Uncontrollably remembered the appearance of Jin Niang and Xiao Yu'er in his mind, and he began to miss his wife and daughter.
The days without Jin Niang by his side, he had adapted to it for a while in the autumn before, and he felt like a year at that time, and now he feels even more so.
When he was at home, it was clear that Jin Niang didn't do anything, but he felt comfortable with everything, but when he was away, Xu Erlang had tried his best to endure it on the first day.
Uncomfortable, tired, eating and drinking did not get along, and his mood became very unpleasant.
Only when he thinks of Jin Niang and the newborn little fish, will a trace of smile and tenderness appear on his cold and handsome face.
The master was not in high spirits and was in a bad mood, and the people in Mohe who accompanied him naturally did not dare to laugh, and the atmosphere of the convoy was obviously much stagnant.
Fortunately, after four days of driving, when he arrived in Shuozhou, he saw Suqian and Xin Wei of Jiuhou, Xu Erlang's face turned cloudy, and the awe-inspiring momentum on his body was reined in.
Suqian is going to go to Beijing with Xu Erlang, he and Xu Erlang participate in the Autumn Festival together, and also in the middle of the move, the difference is that Suqian has a good foundation and a profound heritage, and he has some thoughts about this Spring Festival, but Xu Erlang is very clear that he is really going to see the world this time, and he is going to accompany him.
After Suqian had an early autumn, he said that the chance of being on the list was in the number of five or five, because he was also unwell during the scientific examination, and he felt that he had not yet exerted his usual eighty percent ability. But even so, Suqian was easily lifted, and ranked very high, in eighth, which shows that this person is really rich in accumulation and is expected to come out in the spring.
As for Xin Wei, he is now in better health.
However, because of the severe cold in the past few days, he wore a thick mink coat when he went in and out, and the whole person was tightly covered from top to bottom, leaving only one face exposed.
Although Xin Wei withdrew from Qiufu halfway, he had some regrets. But the two friends he met were all selected, and the rankings were good, which is also a very gratifying thing. So when he saw these two people, although Xin Wei was lonely on his face, he was more happy.
After the three of them met, they naturally went to the restaurant to sit down, but in view of the fact that he and Suqian would go to Beijing tomorrow after Xu Erlang repaired, Xin Wei did not pour them wine, but only replaced the wine with tea, wishing the two of them a victory.
After this "toast", he talked about Xu Erlang's love for his daughter. Because Xiao Yu'er was born in the Lantern Festival, Xu Erlang was about to leave in a few days, and several friends except Zheng Shunming were not close, so Xu Erlang did not specifically notify him.
Wang Ke didn't say that it was Wang Ke's family that was in difficulty, and it was not good to add a burden to him. Xin Wei and Suqian are here, purely because they have to meet these two people in person in a few days, and it is better to say them in person than to exchange letters, so Xu Erlang delayed it until today.
And if Xin Wei hadn't specifically asked about it, Xu Erlang would have almost forgotten.
When Xin Wei heard this, he patted Xu Erlang's arm and said that he was not righteous and did not treat him as a brother. After he buried Xu Erlang for a while, he directly untied the jade pendant on his waist, "Give it to my little niece as a meeting gift." ”
This jade pendant is precious, but it is Xin Wei's heart, Xu Erlang nodded and accepted it, and toasted him with another cup of tea.
Suqian said, "I don't have anything on me that I can handle, but the jade with a good water head in my study is a good material for sealing." After that, I will take it to you, and when the little niece is older and has small characters, I will engrave it for her to use, which is also an elegant thing. ”
Xin Wei also nodded when he heard this, "This is good." ”
The three of them talked and laughed, but before they knew it, it was too late. After a few more words, he dispersed.
Tomorrow they have to get up early to hurry, and tonight they will have to rest early, not too late for Tiger Hill.
The next day, Xin Wei sent Xu Erlang and Suqian away, and stood outside Shilipo to see the frame of the two of them disappear, and then returned to the house in a daze.
When the eldest brother of the Xin family saw his younger brother's stunned appearance, he patted him on the shoulder, "Don't be discouraged, you can go to the capital in three years." But before that, let's go to the school field first. Your body is too weak, if you don't practice well, I'm afraid that you will be planted on next year's autumn again. Because of the weather, are you willing to say goodbye to your career? ”
"Unwilling! I'll go with you, big brother. ”
Xin Wei was abducted by Brother Xin and taken to the school to practice martial arts, and at this time, Jin Niang faced Mama Li beside Mother Xu, a little speechless.
"Madam, look at this ......" Mama Li stopped talking, her face was very embarrassed. She is really embarrassed, after all, Jin Niang is still in confinement, and there is a little girl to take care of. If outsiders know this, it would be strange not to say that this mother-in-law acted hatefully, but God is pitiful, Mrs. really doesn't have that mind, she just thinks, thinks, now that Jin Niang is in charge, things have to be ordered by Jin Niang to be easy to do, so she directly handed this matter over to Jin Niang.
When Jin Niang heard this, she said, "Okay, I know about this, and I will let people go to Qingqiu Mountain later and invite back the golden Buddha that my mother worshipped." ”
Earlier, Xu Erlang was lifted, and Xu's mother felt that it was too shallow to just kowtow to the Buddha to thank him, so as soon as her mind turned, she thought of reshaping the Buddha's body.
Since Mother Xu said this, neither Xu Erlang nor Jinniang could refuse, so she could only really donate gold and paste a layer of gold leaf to the Buddha.
The Buddha was enshrined in the main hall of the Wuyin Temple in Qingqiu Mountain, and at that time it was said to the host, and then you respected the Buddha as the temple, who would have thought that Xu Mu would now whimsically want to invite the Buddha back with gold leaf?
Is this as simple as inviting a Buddha home? If you don't communicate well with other people's Wuyin Temple about this matter, will people be happy?
This is really an offending thing, but since Mother Xu has ordered it, it is not good not to do it.
Jin Niang thought about it again and again, so she asked people to go out and call Xu Chong over.
She is now in confinement, and she didn't let Xu Chong into the room, so she put a screen around the corner and asked Xu Chong to talk to her behind the screen.
Jin Niang relayed the matter explained by Xu's mother to Xu Chong, and finally said, "I don't think it's good for people to come forward in this matter, so I have to go over." Mother was heartbroken for Erlang's imperial examination, this Buddha must be invited back to make her old man feel at ease. But it also offends people...... In this way, when you go, you will bring 1,000 taels of silver, or the money donated to the temple, and you will be accommodating to the old presiding officer. ”
Xu Chong was also speechless when he heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, and his back molars began to hurt.
Yes, finally his father was forced to go out again to harm others, and the house was finally cleaned, and the mother began to make trouble again.
But Xu's mother is different from Xu's father, although she has not fulfilled her responsibilities as a mother to several children, but her surface work can be regarded as so-so, so for such a mother, it is really difficult to perfunctory her.
Xu Chong reluctantly said "um", "Okay, I'll go to my sister-in-law, then I'll go." ”
"Go ahead. Don't forget to bring a few extra hands and wear thicker clothes. ”
"Okay, I know."
After Xu Chong left, Pian Pian who heard the news also came over, and she sighed, "Does the Buddha really work?" Is it really the Buddha who blessed my second brother? If this is the case, if the Buddha can really bless my second brother to even win the Jinshi this time, I will also reshape the golden body of the Buddha. ”
As she spoke, she began to mutter, "But why don't I believe that this is all the credit of the Buddha." Alas, before leaving, the second brother also said that there is little chance of being on the list this time, and if he loses the list, then mother, tsk......"
Jin Niang: "You can't think of something good." ”
"I can't think about it, sister-in-law, my second brother said it himself, he is going to learn more and accompany him this time. He has such a clear understanding of himself, so what do I expect from her as a jinshi? The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment, and I don't want to be hit at the end......"
Pian Pian muttered a few more words and left, and at this time Xiao Yu'er also woke up. The little guy looked at Jin Niang with big black and moist eyes, although Jin Niang knew that the baby at this time could not see people, but she was also cute by the little girl.
hugged her for a long time, and gave her breast milk, and then the two fell asleep together.
In the afternoon, Aunt Shen brought Xuanxuan over to Erlang, and Aunt Shen, as she promised with Xu Erlang earlier, thought about it for the sake of preventing Jinniang, and she basically came once every two days.
Every time, I stayed in the morning or an afternoon, talked to Jinniang, hugged the little girl, and made sure that both of them were okay, and then left satisfied.
Time came out of the first month in a blink of an eye, and seeing that it was entering February, Jin Niang suddenly thought of something, and asked the maid, "Is there a letter from the son?" He should have been in Kyoto a few days ago, right?" It will be too late to arrive in Kyoto, after all, the spring season will begin around February 15, and he still has a lot of things to do, including a visit to the Pingxi Hou Mansion, and a meeting of some students to meet and familiarize himself with the examiners' preferences, which will take time.
Qingmiao replied, "Since Childe left, I have received a total of five letters. The last letter was the day before yesterday, and you have already read it, ma'am. ”
Jin Niang said "oh", a little regretful, clinker Qinggu ran over from outside, holding a familiar envelope in her hand, "Madam, the son has a letter." ”
Jin Niang couldn't wait to take the letter and look at it, in the letter, Xu Erlang wrote his daily life in the past few days as usual.
wrote that he and Su Qian met two friends on the way to the capital, and because they had similar temperaments with each other, they went together. Because they all went to the spring festival, and everyone was from a good background, had the same knowledge, and had common topics to talk about, they talked about poetry and scriptures almost every night until late before going back to rest.
Xu Erlang also ridiculed that he really has no talent in poetry, and the poems he makes are just neat, harmonious and harmonious, and the allegorical scenery or the scenery is a little poor. In other words, he is more "practical", not romantic at all, and cannot be immersed in it, so poetry is really his weakness.
He also said that now that he is only two days away from the Kyoto boundary, everyone is in a bad mood. Fortunately, because the goal of this trip is not high, so his mentality is the most stable.
He also said that when he passed by a county town two days ago, he saw that a baby's cradle was very festive and beautiful, so he specially asked the store to set one. It will be shipped in about half a month, and he will have someone send it over when the time comes.
Xu Erlang also said two words of gossip, saying that when he encountered a cold spring, two of his peers had already fallen. Fortunately, he was in good health, and he drank the tea bag that Jin Niang asked him to carry every day, but he didn't get hit.
Now his body is still very healthy, and there is no discomfort at all, so Jinniang does not have to worry.
At the end of the letter, Xu Erlang greeted the situation at home as usual, how is his mother, how is San Lang and Pianpian, the three little ones are okay, and finally asked Jin Niang, do you miss him, do you often think of him in front of Xiao Yuer?
He also said that he was "so worried that he couldn't sleep, and how long the night was", and wrote that he couldn't sleep for several nights because he missed her.
Jin Niang's face turned red when she looked at it, and her red face and red ears made the maids laugh. Obviously, even if they don't read the letter, they can guess that the son must have said love words to his wife again, otherwise the lady would not be so out of shape.
And Xu Erlang, who is now remembered by Jin Niang, has arrived in Kyoto at this time, and has even arrived in front of the Pingxi Hou Mansion.
