Father Lin knew earlier that Xu Erlang was going to participate in the Spring Festival, and this time he heard him say that the Lantern Festival was about to set off, so he naturally encouraged him many times.

Father Lin and Xu Erlang had a very happy conversation, and Jinniang also learned from her aunt and asked about various production matters.

Before I knew it, I talked so much that I was a little late when I got home.

In the next few days, Xu Erlang was busier than usual.

This is the first year after the death of his eldest brother, the first year he has supported the Xu Mansion, and the first year that he has gone out to socialize as a family member in the Xu Mansion, so Xu Erlang has to be cautious.

It stands to reason that Xu Erlang came to visit relatives and friends, and Jinniang also wanted to follow, but her body was really heavy, so she had to give up.

In the end, when Xu Erlang went out, he took Xu Chong and Xu Pianpian with him.

He originally wanted to leave Pian Pian to accompany Jin Niang, but Jin Niang felt that it was not good to have a female dependent in the family, and Pian Pian really rarely socialized, she didn't have few girlfriends and friends of the right age, and then locked her in the house, the little girl was out of touch with the outside, so she insisted on letting Xu Erlang take Pian Pian out.

However, before they left, Jin Niang still had a special opinion, telling her about the taboos and preferences of her master's family, and reminding her how to treat people and socialize.

Pian Pian is not a stupid person, she is very clever, this time she was entrusted with a heavy responsibility by Jin Niang, the little guy is full of responsibility, patting her chest and assuring Jin Niang that everything depends on her, she will deal with it well, and she will definitely not embarrass Xu Fu.

Facts have proved that Pian Pian has really done a good job, at least Xu Erlang recognizes Pian Pian's actions. After a few days of socializing, the little guy's ability to deal with things has improved a lot, and the whole person looks a little more capable than usual.

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, Xu Erlang went to visit Mr. Ming, and then until the fourteenth day of the first month, he was studying behind closed doors, or consulting Master Qian, in short, he was too busy to do anything.

On the day of the Lantern Festival, Xu Erlang really had time to relax. He is ready to leave for the capital tomorrow, but until now, the baby in Jinniang's belly has not moved at all, and the little guy is calm and doesn't know what to say.

Xu Erlang muttered to Jin Niang's stomach for this reason, "He is a stable one and has the style of a general." ”

Jin Niang: "...... She is stable, but she can toss her mother enough, I am worried every day, day and night, I am worried about ......"

"Rest assured. Xiao Yu'er is just slow-tempered, and he will definitely not have an accident. ”

The husband and wife were gossiping, and Pian Pian led a few Chang'an over.

Pian Pian also sighed at Jin Niang's stomach, "I'm waiting for my little nephew and little niece, and my hair is almost white." ”

Chang'an and Changping also stared at Jin Niang's huge belly in awe, with unconcealed worry and anxiety in their eyes.

Although the aunt repeatedly told them that there is no need to worry, no need to panic, the melons are ripe, and when the baby wants to come out, it will naturally come out. However, they don't worry about the safety of the baby, they only worry about the aunt's belly. With such a big belly, they are really afraid that the younger brothers and sisters in their belly will kick their legs and break their aunt's belly.

Changle also muttered, "Sister, come out quickly, let's go see the lanterns at night." ”

Jin Niang wanted to laugh when she heard this, the little girl was a piece, where she understood how fragile the newborn baby was. Not to mention going out to see the Lantern Festival lanterns, even the wind can't be seen. But before she could open her mouth, she felt that her body. There was something strange under it, Jin Niang "snorted" and grabbed Xu Erlang's arm, "My amniotic water broke ......"

Xu Erlang's face changed immediately, and he stood up suddenly, "Someone, call Wen Po." ”

As soon as a few girls heard this, they knew that it must have been launched by Jin Niang, so they hurriedly got busy with a clear division of labor.

A few small ones were frightened by this battle, and Jin Niang felt okay at this time, so she pulled out a smile to comfort them, "It's okay, Auntie is fine." Pianpian, you lead Chang'an and a few of them to the front yard to see the craftsmen paste lanterns, if you are interested, you can also make your own. When you make the lanterns, Auntie will come out of the delivery room. ”

"Good, good, good. Sister-in-law, stop talking, go to the delivery room. Chang'an Changping Changle, let's go, go to the front yard with my little aunt, let's make lanterns. ”

Changle didn't want to leave, so he hugged Jinniang's calf and looked up at her, Xu Pianpian picked her up, "Oh, you're a little bit, we can't help my sister-in-law here." Not only that, but it will also distract my sister-in-law, let's go quickly, so that my sister-in-law can give birth to a baby with peace of mind. ”

After the children left, Jin Niang was carried into the delivery room by Xu Erlang.

Since the due date is just over these two days, everything is ready, so there is no need to panic. It's just that the girls have never given birth and have no experience at all, so they can't avoid panicking.

Wen Po quickly came over to probe, and said, "Madame is in good health, and the palace entrance is also open quickly, and now she has opened two fingers, but it will take a while to give birth." Madame is hungry now, if she is hungry, eat something, so that you don't lose strength for a while. ”

Jin Niang nodded when she heard this, it is now half of the afternoon, and it is usually the time for her to use snacks and bird's nest soup, and her body has formed a biological clock, and she is really hungry at one point.

But this time Jin Niang didn't ask for bird's nest soup, she asked the kitchen to quickly make a big bowl of shredded noodles with vegetables and meat, a whole large bowl, and Jin Niang stuffed it all into her stomach.

She had never eaten so much in normal times, but now she endured the pain and tried to swallow it in her stomach, and Xu Erlang couldn't bear it for a while, "If you don't want to eat, don't eat it, if it's not in the way, I will not let you have an accident." ”

Jin Niang shook her head, drank the last mouthful of soup, and asked Xu Erlang to help her up and walk around the house.

Gui Niangzi and Wen Po both said that more exercise before childbirth will help give birth.

But she was already in pain at this time, her face was a little pale, and the beads of sweat on her forehead were falling down her cheeks.

After only two laps, Jin Niang couldn't hold on, she hugged Xu Erlang's arm in pain, "I feel like she keeps falling, as if she is about to come out." ”

Xu Erlang called Wen Po over in a panic, but when Wen Po checked it, it was terrible, and she had already opened her five fingers.

Wen Po smiled, "Madam, this palace opening is faster than I thought, hey, hurry up and send it to the delivery bed, and wait for a while for the children to appear." ”

At this time, Xu's mother also came over when she heard the wind, "How is it?" Jin Niang is okay? Don't use ginseng? The mother brought a hundred-year-old ginseng, hurriedly, cut it into slices for a while, and let Jin Niang hold it under the root of her tongue. ”

Xu Erlang didn't have time to care about anything else, so he hurriedly replied, "Thank you, mother." ”

Jin Niang started quickly, the palace opened quickly, and the birth was smooth, but when the child really landed, the sky outside was already dark.

It has been less than two hours since it was launched, and Wen Po said, "Mrs. Fu has a great life, and her luck is thick." Hey, it's a little girl, six pounds and eight taels, and the old slave delivers so many children, just count the little girl in the lady's family who is handsome. ”

Jin Niang has no strength at this time. The pain was much lessened, but her whole body seemed to be fished out of the water, and she was soaking wet.

The feeling of sleepiness made her fall asleep at any time, but she still forced herself to open her eyes, looked at Xiao Yu'er, and chuckled, "It's really a little girl, now your father should be happy." ”

nodded to Wen Po again, thanking her for her compliment.

Wen Po was sent out, and the newborn little fish was also taken away by the nurses, and Xu Erlang entered the room. As soon as I saw it, I saw that Jinniang's hair was sweaty, her lips were bloodless, her face was pale, and she was extremely tired.

His voice choked up several times, and finally sat down next to Jinniang and kissed her forehead, "It's hard." ”

Jin Niang opened her eyes and smiled at him, "It's not hard." Have you ever seen a little fish? She was wrinkled, red, and not good-looking, but Wen Po said that it would be good to grow in a few days. ”

"I'll see it later."

"Hmm."

The maids brought towels and hot water, and Xu Erlang took them and wiped the sweat stains on Jinniang's body in person.

Jin Niang was so tired that she closed her eyes and fell asleep without waiting for Xu Erlang to clean her up.

When Jin Niang woke up again, she saw Pian Pian sitting on the stool next to her bed, and at this time it was dark outside, and she didn't know when.

Jin Niang rested for a while, her spirit improved a lot, and she asked Pianpian, "Aren't you clamoring to see the lanterns, why don't you go now?" ”

Pian Pian shook her head, "I can see the lanterns that year, but now I have a little niece, and I want to guard her." As she spoke, Xu Pianpian muttered again, "The little niece loves to sleep as much as they love to sleep in Chang'an, and they have only eaten milk once until now." ”

Jin Niang smiled, "She's still young, it's good to wait until she's older, and I can play with you." ”

The two gossiped a few more words, and the maid brought the food. Jin Niang hasn't started using it yet, and Xu Erlang has also come over.

Pian Pian stuck out her tongue at Jin Niang, said hello to Xu Erlang again, and jumped and ran away.

"What did you do?" "Father heard about your birth today, so he came back from outside, and just now Zhang Luo was going to the ancestral hall to write the name of Xiao Yu'er into the family tree."

Jin Niang: "...... Xiao Yu'er isn't famous yet, is he? Or have you already given her a name? ”

"Not yet. However, her father gave her a name, the big name is Changxin, and the small name is Lantern Xiao...... Heh, I ignored him, and came back after a few casual sentences. ”

Jin Niang: "......"

He thought about beauty, he didn't do anything all day, just relying on his grandfather's relationship, he wanted to give Xiao Yu'er a name, and his face was too big. If your father comes to you about it, don't pay attention to him. Xiao Yu'er's name is good when she thinks of it, and it's not too late to give it to her, so let's call Xiao Yu'er now. ”

Jin Niang: "......" Father Xu will definitely not come to her to talk about it, she is now in confinement and does not say it, and although the men of this dynasty are not as pedantic as the ancients, they feel that women's menstrual blood, lochia, etc. are all filth, and will restrain men's luck. But in the eyes of his heart, he is also evasive, not to mention that Father Xu is still her father-in-law, and his daughter-in-law is confined, Father Xu just doesn't care about it, and he won't come over at this time.

Thinking so in her heart, she didn't refute it, and Jin Niang nodded obediently and said "Okay".

The soup prepared by the maids was also dried to a suitable temperature, so Xu Erlang picked it up and fed Jinniang himself.

Jin Niang's energy was limited, and she began to be drowsy again after eating, but she was still thinking about Xu Erlang's departure to Kyoto tomorrow, so she took him by the hand and asked, "When will you leave tomorrow?" ”

"I won't leave tomorrow, I'll leave after the little fish have been washed for three times. I'm afraid it will be difficult to return it in three or five months, and then this home will be handed over to you again. If you can't take care of it, bring Pian Pian to help, and if you can't do it, find your mother......"

"Okay, I know, don't worry."

In a blink of an eye, on the day of washing, Aunt Shen and Father Lin's family came over very early.

Aunt Shen's heart was stunned when she heard that Jin Niang gave birth to a daughter on the night of the Lantern Festival, worried that she would not like her husband because she gave birth to a daughter. But when she came to Cuibai Garden, Xu Erlang personally welcomed her in, and told her about Jinniang's postpartum affairs, and repeatedly mentioned her beloved daughter during the conversation.

He has a soft face, and when he mentions Xiaoyu'er, the corners of his mouth can't help but turn up, which shows that he also loves this girl very much. This calmed Aunt Shen's heart and made her depressed mood a little better.

On the way, Xu Erlang said that he would set off tomorrow morning to participate in the Spring Festival, and during the confinement period, she would have to bother her to visit and comfort her more often, so as not to make Jinniang feel unwell, depressed in her heart, and hold back any illness.

Aunt Shen naturally responded busily when she heard this, and packed the ticket and said, "With me watching, I will definitely not let Jinniang have an accident." Erlang, you can go with confidence, I will help take care of it at home. ”

When Aunt Shen went into the inner room to visit Jinniang, Jinniang was walking around the room with Xiaoyu'er in her arms.

Gui Niangzi also said before that if her physical condition allows it, she should get out of bed and walk two more laps, which can not only promote physical recovery, but also promote the rapid discharge of lochia. Jin Niang felt a lot more relaxed after giving birth, except that her body was still a little weak, and there was no discomfort. Therefore, she listened to Gui Niangzi very much, and got up twice a day to go around.

Aunt Shen hugged Xiao Yu'er very rarely, and said one after another, "Xiao Yu'er's eyes are like you, and her facial features are like Erlang." ”

"How do you see that? Why can't I see it at all? ”

It's obviously a meat dumpling that hasn't opened yet, the eyebrows are still very light, and the eyes are not very open. So, the question is, what kind of eyes is my aunt who can see the shadow of her and Xu Erlang from this doll who yawns and wants to sleep?

It's just magical.

Jin Niang is weak in the end, and Xiao Yu'er has just been born, so she doesn't dare to let her see too many people. So if it weren't for the good of the family, the female dependents wouldn't go inside, so that not only Jinniang could rest, but even Xiaoyuer could sleep peacefully.

The noisy day passed, and soon the next day, Xu Erlang set off for Kyoto before dawn in the morning.

At the beginning of February, it took him at least half a month to travel on the road. If you feel unwell, it will delay the matter, so it is better to pass it as soon as possible. After settling down, taking care of my body, and at the same time adapting to the climate of Kyoto, and feeling the temperament of the examiner, I will end up in the field.

After Xu Erlang set off, Jin Niang was unhappy for a long time, and was soon attracted by Xiao Yu'er.

The little girl was hungry, and her little head arched into Jin Niang's arms, and her cute and cute appearance made Jin Niang's heart soften.
