Chapter 123: Yu Shen
Since the birth of the third sister of the Yu family, time has passed quickly, and it is the first birthday ceremony of the third sister in a blink of an eye.
Father Yu did not pursue Bai Xiaoniang's death, after the third sister was born that day, Father Yu and Lady Yu followed and broke into Bai Xiaoniang's house, Father Yu saw Hai'an's blood, but he had no doubts, he just thought that Hai'an saw that the doctor went to the other courtyard, so he came to help take care of Bai Xiaoniang and his sister, Fang Fang saw that Yu Yao was cold, his face was thin and small, and he was distressed for a while, rushed over and hugged his eldest daughter, and kept saying with apologies: "It's the father who is sorry for your mother, it's the father who is wrong, don't blame the father." ”
Hai An only felt uncomfortable in his heart, his body stood stiffly, his father's clothes were smelly, and when he thought of the story Bai Xiaoniang told just now, he was even more disgusted, and he vomited it directly.
The father was shocked, thinking that Hai'an was frightened, and called the doctor to diagnose her pulse, but the doctor only said that the girl Hai'an was frightened, recuperated well, drank a few pairs of tonics, and could get better in a few days.
After Hai'an was settled, Father Yu had the heart to see the third sister who had just been born, Father Yu was looking forward to a brother, but it could be seen that it was a daughter again, so he was a little disappointed in his heart, he didn't even hug him, just glanced at it, and walked away.
Mrs. Yu has always liked children, so she stepped forward to see the third sister, saw that her eyes were clear and clean, and immediately liked the child, so she took the child from the hands of Mrs. Li, and couldn't put it down and teased.
Father Yu stepped forward to visit Bai Xiaoniang, only to find that Bai Xiaoniang's body had been stiff for a long time, but when he saw the blood stains on the bed, Father Yu understood in his heart, he didn't like this Bai Xiaoniang much, and he didn't feel sad, he only sighed and ordered: "Find someone to arrange the funeral for Bai Xiaoniang, so that it is good to be buried alive." ”
Bai Xiaoniang's death was miserable, Father Yu couldn't bear to take a second look, only turned around and left, and when he arrived at the door, he remembered that the father of the Bai family was also a Qing official of the third grade, and he was also a person with status and face in the court, so he said: "Go and send someone to tell Lord Bai the news, remember to say slowly, don't teach Lord Bai to be too sad." ”
"Yes." The little guy replied.
"Remember to mention this child of the Bai clan more." Father Fish added.
"Yes, the little one knows." The little servant answered and hurried away.
Mrs. Yu came to Father Yu with the child in her arms, her voice trembled a little, and she said carefully: "The third sister can't live without a mother. ”
"Hmm." Father Yu answered, looked back at the third sister who was sleeping in swaddling clothes, for some reason, he only felt very awkward, and he was a little irritable, "In this way, the third sister will be passed under your name, and the name of the Bai family does not have to be written into the family tree, and after marrying in for many years, she has not been filial to her mother, nor can she give birth to a boy to extend the heirs of the Yu family, which is her blessing." ”
Mrs. Yu only felt that the father of the fish was indifferent, no longer answered, only looked at the child in her arms, a little distressed that she had just been born, and her mother went, even if it was passed under her own name, she could not be completely regarded as a concubine.
Mrs. Yu asked again: "Lord, give the third sister a name." ”
Father Yu waved his hand and walked towards the courtyard without looking back: "Let's talk about it." ”
The big lady looked at the back of the fish father, and saw the flowers and trees in the courtyard of the white lady withering, showing desolation, thinking about the scenery of the past few months, when the white lady was favored, she sighed in her heart: She has loved the lord all her life, but all this, in the end, is just a dream, the lord treats her very cruelly, and her full of affection is wrong after all.
Mrs. Yu handed over the third sister to Mrs. Li, and said solemnly: "Mrs. Li, you can do me a favor." Go and find the best nurse in Beijing to give the third sister, it is best if you know well, and you must be a good person who can be trusted. ”
"Yes." Mrs. Li replied, "The third sister's background is poor, and I will take care of the third sister more." ”
"Thank you." The fish lady spoke earnestly.
Seeing that the eldest lady had experienced so much, she could still be so kind, and she was only relieved for the third sister, her nose was sour, and she was afraid that she would cry on the day of the third sister's birth, but she bumped into the third sister, so she hurriedly said goodbye and left the house.
Bai's courtyard has been sealed since then, Hai'an later quietly sent away the maidservants who served in the courtyard that day, as for Li Maternity and Shui'er, they are loyal servants, they must not say a word, no one knows, what did Bai say to Hai'an, Bai Xiaoniang's glory, in a blink of an eye.
Time passed day by day, and the third sister also grew up day by day, although it was born prematurely, but the fish lady was attentive and well-raised, and the third sister raised a fat one, which was very cute. Since then, Father Yu has often come to Lady Yu's place to see Yu Yao, Hai'an, Big Lady, and the third sister by the way, but for the third sister, Father Yu has always been like a fish in his throat, so the third sister has never been favored by Father Yu, and she is almost one year old, and she is just shouting "third sister, third sister", and she is not named.
Hai'an learned about his parents, and since then, he has gradually distanced himself from his parents and cannot be close, and the father and mother don't know what happened, but when her daughter grows up, she will also go.
Seeing that the third sister was about to turn one year old, Mrs. Yu loved the third sister very much, so she was very happy and prepared a feast to celebrate the third sister. Catching Zhou is a fashionable custom in this dynasty, Hai'an has always felt guilty about the third sister, so he took the initiative to ask his mother for help, wanting to prepare for the third sister, just to pray for the third sister.
After all, Hai'an is still a child, and Mrs. Yu is not at ease, so she sent the third sister's nurse Meng Pozi to help, because Meng Pozi can be regarded as the person who knows the third sister best, and they have a total of Zhou's objects together, and the third sister will definitely have fun.
Hai'an and Mrs. Meng consulted many books, learned a lot of customs, prepared common objects in advance, and bought many strange things according to the preferences of the third sister. One day Hai'an was shopping in the East Market with great interest, but inexplicably walked into an antique shop, which was actually some jadeite, nephrite, Hai'an was attracted by these shiny objects for a while, and later found a kind of jade called "Shen" in an inconspicuous place in the store, small and cute, so he picked three pieces of clear color, wrapped them and brought them back to the house, ready to be counted into the third sister's grasp of the Zhou objects.
The first birthday ceremony is approaching, the banquet is very lively, and Father Yu has also invited a lot of friends who are officials, and they all say that it is the remaining three girls of Mrs. Yu, but the age difference between Yu Yao and the third sister is almost the same, which inevitably causes speculation.
Everyone ate happily, Hai'an said that it was better to teach the third sister to catch the week and play, everyone applauded, and Meng Pozi hugged the third sister out, and put a lot of things on the table, just to see what the third sister wanted to touch. The third sister sat in the middle stupidly, her eyes were dazzled by objects, she looked left and right, but she didn't see her do it for a long time, but everyone said that she was cute and cute.
At this moment, the third sister saw the jade that Hai'an bought, so she slowly crawled to one of them, and grabbed it with great interest, and played with it in her hand, which aroused everyone's curiosity, just thinking that this jade was strange. The three pieces of jade were actually placed in different directions, but when they saw that the third sister was in the midst of all the objects, they looked for the other two, and picked them up together and hugged them in their arms, and then they no longer paid attention to other things, but only played with the jade by themselves.
The fish father was very strange, but he felt that jade was a warm and pure object, and it was a good thing, so he asked, "What kind of jade is this?" ”
Hai'an replied: "This jade is called 'Shen'." ”
"Very good, it just so happens that the third sister hasn't chosen a name yet, she likes this jade, so she calls her 'Yu Shen'."
