037 Wash three
Gillian and Bao have become very white and tender in two days. On the day of washing, the two little dolls wore exactly the same, fat carp-shaped clothes of big red antelope. The only difference is that one has a small meow embroidered on the chest and the other has a cerebellar axe embroidered on the chest. This is one of the many clothes designed by Mingzhu, which looks very thin, but is extremely soft and warm. In this early autumn season, it also looks particularly cute.
On this day, just after the hour, two boxes of baby's clothes were sent to the palace. The large boxes are carefully made by the master room, and each piece is exceptionally delicate and soft, and the threads inside and outside are not visible at all. The small box is made by the Queen Mother, although it is not as exquisite as the craftsmanship of the manufacturing room, but the intention of a stitch is still clear at a glance.
Relatives and friends such as the Wenguo Mansion and the Kaiguo County Mansion also sent their own baptism three lilies one after another.
Here, Mrs. Tai also took Mama Li and walked into the pearl room with a small box.
"I've seen Mrs. Tai."
Mingzhu heard the salute outside the door, raised her head and smiled sweetly: "Grandmother, you are here." Saying that, he picked up Gillian and said, "Look, this is my great-grandmother, remember." Little Gillian's eyes were not yet open, and she moved with Mrs. Tai's figure in a fog.
Mrs. Tai saw it, it was very rare. "Ouch, this is little Gillian, right?" Reaching out to hug the baby, smiling so much that he couldn't see his eyebrows.
Wei Ci hugged Xiao Abao at this time, and after greeting Mrs. Tai, he sat on the side cutely.
Mrs. Tai glanced at him and hugged Xiao Bao with one hand. One left and one right teased the two little babies.
"Ah, the two little masters are really handsome." Mama Li put the small box she was holding on the kang table in front of Mingzhu.
At this time, the blood on Mingzhu's face had not yet recovered, and everyone didn't let her get out of bed.
"Come, Mingzhu, sit down in the bed. Aci, get out of the way. Mrs. Tai got up with the two babies in her arms.
Mingzhu and Wei Ci are both a little inexplicable.
"Although we don't do much to wash the three dynasties, we still have to have the intention to have it. Today, we won't invite any grandma to give birth, so we'll let Mama Li be a once. As he spoke, seeing that Mingzhu still had some doubts, he explained: "You don't have to worry, we have asked Imperial Doctor Sun in advance." Now that it's cold, I don't really wash it. The stuff used was also soaked in your alcohol. It's okay. ”
Mingzhu was a little embarrassed: "Is it because I'm too nervous, or is my grandmother thoughtful." Don't joke about forgetting your grandmother. ”
Mrs. Tai was very free and easy: "The meat that fell from my body, no matter how nervous I was." It's too late for me to be happy. ”
Just as the two were talking, Mama Li and Si Chai moved the kang table away and placed a large copper basin with fluffy cotton futons on the bed. Flowers, hairpins, and scales were placed on the side of the basin...... Many, many puddles of bits and pieces. It turned out that the little box was full of these things.
Then, Mama Li and Si Hai each held a baby and put them in the basin by leaning against each other. Then, each wrung a hot towel dipped in mugwort water and symbolically wiped all parts of the baby.
"Wash your hair first, worry-free; After washing the waist, one generation is higher than the next; Wash your hands and be the leader; Wash your feet, look good and learn......" Mama Li's words rhymed.
Si Hai was a little busy and wiped the corresponding parts with her rhythm.
After scrubbing, Mama Li lit a ginger slice mugwort ball and moxibustion all parts of the baby. "Doctor Li said that after doing this, when the baby is old, he will not get old cold legs."
Mingzhu listened to it and looked more and more seriously.
Probably smoked by the slightly warm and spicy smell, the babies soon fell asleep again.
When this step was completed, Mrs. Tai stepped forward to add a pot, and every time she added something to the pot. Mama Li will follow with an auspicious sentence.
"Flowers grow into a beauty;
Sheng'er Dou'er, an endless amount of literary and martial arts;
The scale is locked, and you don't have to worry about everything for a lifetime;
gold and silver, endless copper coins;
Peanut lotus seeds, He Jinzhao gave birth to a noble son;
......”
After a while, the small objects outside were all put into the basin around the baby, and only a green onion remained.
Finally, Mama Li picked up the green onions and tapped them gently: "A dozen smart; two dozen clever; Three dozen innocently. ”
After beating, he handed the green onion to Wei Ci, "Please go out and throw it on the roof." ”
Wei Ci took the green onion, turned around and walked out.
At this point, the simplified version of the ritual of washing the Three Dynasties is considered to be completed. Mingzhu stepped forward gently, ready to take the two babies out, and said: "I heard that washing three requires a "ringing basin" to be auspicious, should I wake them up first and then take them out?" "If the baby is woken up at this time, the cry can't be louder.
Mrs. Tai and Mama Li looked at each other and smiled: "How can there be such a thing?" Of course, it's better not to cry! You see, when a plate is broken during the Chinese New Year, everyone will congratulate them, saying that it is "safe and peaceful". Have you ever seen someone who deliberately threw a plate to ask for peace? ”
Mingzhu thought about it, and it was also this reason. Then he carried the baby to the inside of the bed and let them fall asleep peacefully.
Mingzhu also returned to the bedside to talk to Mrs. Tai, and the two sat opposite each other on both sides of the kang table.
"Huh? Does it take so long for Ah Ci to throw a green onion? Isn't it soft? After saying this, Mingzhu blushed and secretly took a sip of herself.
"Your Highness, a holy decree arrived in the outer courtyard just now. The master went out to receive the order, and he will be back in a while. Si Hai replied.
Mingzhu complained disappreciatively: "What is the imperial brother thinking? Send a baptism three times, and send a special decree so formally? ”
Mrs. Tai was admiring the small clothes sent by the priest's room, and said casually: "Maybe there are other things, but it may not be." ”
Sure enough, after a while, Wei Ci walked in with the holy decree in one hand. There was still no expression on their faces, but both Mrs. Tai and Mingzhu could sense that something was wrong.
"What's wrong? Unhappy? What does the decree say? "Mingzhu is a little strange, could it be that the imperial brother would still block her on such a day?
"It's okay, the emperor said that I had been on vacation for too long, so I got a job." Wits's gentle explanation.
"What did he tell you to do?"
"Let's say it's the commander of the forbidden army, the last time the emperor was assassinated, there has been no suitable new commander."
"Wow!" Mingzhu was a little excited, and in a blink of an eye, she read the accusation from her husband's paralyzed face, and hurriedly explained: "Look, you can't always be idle at home, right?" This is not a good example for the baby. And, how good the position is. The position is key, and it is suitable for you to play, but under normal circumstances, there is not much power. What a peace of mind. ”
Saying this, Wei Ci was really happy, "It's just that from now on, I can't accompany you and the child like this every day." ”
"You're the commander, and your time is relatively flexible. Moreover, as long as you think every day at work, with your wife and children waiting for you at home, can you feel very warm? ”
Wei Ci nodded with a smile, and Mingzhu was a little stunned.
"Ahem, ahem, there's someone else here." Mrs. Tai teased.
Suddenly, the room was filled with joy.
