Seeing Hua Qiao's reaction, Hu Yanjin didn't know where to get his confidence, and said firmly:

"It must be a daughter this time!"

Soon, Ah Chen and Ah Qi both knew that they wanted to protect Ah Niang, because Ah Niang had a younger sister in her belly.

"Ah Qi, do you say that Ah Niang is a younger brother or a younger sister in her belly?" Hu Yanjin grabbed the one-and-a-half-year-old short leg and asked.

"Sister!"

Ah Qi didn't think about it, and replied quickly.

"Look! Am I right? Someone said triumphantly.

Hua Qiao peeled a chestnut, handed it to Ah Qi and asked, "Ah Qi, the baby in Ah Niang's belly, is it a sister or a younger brother?" ”

"Brother!"

Ah Qi took the chestnuts and left satisfied.

Hua Qiao stroked his palms and laughed: "Don't you know, he always says the last word to his mouth?" ”

Hu Yanjin was dumbfounded.

Since Hu Yanqi was born, Hua Qiao has spent most of her time in Zhuangzi. Hu Yanjin has to take care of his business outside.

During the Xuande period, the commerce of the Ming Dynasty developed rapidly, showing a prosperous scene everywhere.

After Zhu Zhanji took out all the treasures in the cave, he was less wary of Hu Yanjin. Zhang Yue has been staying in Jinyiwei and following Zhu Zhanji, and Xu Zhijin has been promoted to Dali Temple.

"Owner, Lord Xu is here."

Hemming opened the curtain and led the person in directly.

"Third Brother Xu? What are you doing here? ”

The two husbands and wives were thinking about returning to Nanjing, and when they suddenly saw Xu Zhijin, they were all happy in their hearts: Could it be that there is a case?

"I'm going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, isn't that a problem? I have to ask you husband and wife to come out. Xu Zhijin said with a wry smile.

"Uh-huh! No problem, you say. Hua Qiao replied happily.

Hu Yanjin pulled her behind him vigilantly, glared and said, "What does the case have to do with pregnant women?" ”

This time it was Xu Zhijin's turn to glare: "No, it's not about pregnant women, it's about a three-year-old child." ”

He hurriedly took out a paper bag in his arms, which contained a dossier, Hu Yanjin took it, and listened to Xu Zhijin talk about the case while watching.

"It's just the case of Shuntianfu, the bitter lord is a child's family, and this three-year-old child asked a doctor for fever and vomiting half a month ago.

Based on the fact that he had pulled out roundworms in the past, the doctor judged that the child had roundworms in his body. So, he was prescribed black plum pills and vinegar for him to swallow, and acupuncture was also used.

After taking the antipyretic decoction, the child's symptoms were relieved. The next day, he suddenly fell into a coma, and the doctor had to prescribe medicine again to control his symptoms.

This went on and on for half a month, and the boy died suddenly. The family misdiagnosed the child with quack medicine, which caused the child's condition to worsen and die, and sued the doctor to Shuntianfu. ”

Hua Qiao also has children herself, and she can't listen to the children dying in vain.

The first day of the first lunar month is the New Year's Day. Since the twenty-fourth sacrifice stove of the lunar month of the previous year, the palace dependents and ministers began to wear gourd scenery complements and python clothes. Each family steamed dim sum and stockpiled meat for the expenses of one or two days during the Spring Festival. At the end of the 30th year, they began to greet each other, which is called "farewell to the old year". Drink and munch and drum music to celebrate. Next to the door, the peach charm board, the general charcoal, paste the door god, and hang the god of fortune, the ghost judgment, Zhong Kui and other paintings indoors. On the bed, hang the eight treasures of gold and silver, the prayer wheel of the western fan, or weave yellow money like a dragon. The turret is planted with sesame stalks, and the cypress branches and firewood are burned in the courtyard, which is called "(fire education) year".

From the twilight of the year and the beginning of the New Year, they all wear "moths" on their heads, cut them out of black gold paper, and paint them with colors. Or use grass insects and butterflies to the head to respond to the festival scene. Some wear small gourds, which are only as big as peas, called "grass gold", and the two pieces are worth two or three taels of silver.

On the first and fifth days of the first month, burn incense and set off paper cannons, and throw the door bolt or wooden pole three times on the yard ground, which is called "falling dry gold".

Secretly wrap one or two silver coins in the dumplings, and the one who gets it will be lucky for a year. On this day, we wish each other well, and it is called "Greeting the New Year".

The day before the beginning of spring, Shuntianfu welcomes spring outside Dongzhi Gate, and all Xunwei, ministers, Dagong, and samurai go to the spring field to run horses to compare the advantages and disadvantages. On the second day of the beginning of spring, no matter whether you are high or low, you will eat radish, which is called "biting spring". They also invited each other to a banquet and ate spring cakes and rai. Then use the cotton plug ear, take its cleverness.

According to the records of the Ming Dynasty, in the early dynasty, the minister had to get up at midnight and travel through half of the capital to the noon gate. At 3 a.m., the minister arrived outside the noon gate and waited.

When the drums on the tower of the gate are beating, the ministers will line up; By the time the bell rang around 5 a.m., the palace gates opened. Hundreds of officials entered in turn, crossed the Jinshui Bridge and formed a team in the square. Any coughing, spitting, or unsteady walk among the officials will be recorded by the imperial historian in charge of picketing, and they will be dealt with.

Usually, the emperor comes to the Taihe Gate or the Taihe Palace, and hundreds of officials kneel and bow three times. Only officials above the fourth rank have the opportunity to talk to the emperor, and the ministers report to the emperor on government affairs, and the emperor asks questions or answers.

People use the method of "copper kettle dripping" to divide the day and night into 12 periods, each period is called an hour. The first hour of each hour is the beginning and the next hour is positive. For example, 7 o'clock is called Chenchu, 8 o'clock is called Chenzheng, 9 o'clock is called Sichu, and 10 o'clock is called Sizheng. The twelve hours can refer to either a day or any one hour. The twelve hours are equivalent to 24 hours, and each hour is equal to 2 hours. There is an old saying that "three quarters at noon" is equivalent to 11:43:12 p.m. now. As the saying goes, "Girls are rare and expensive at noon", which means that girls born at noon are the best girls. It is also said that those born in the four hours of the child, the time of the Yin, the time of the hour, and the time of the unitary must be among the dragons and phoenixes, and they will be able to achieve great things in the future, and have a good life to become high-ranking officials and nobles.
