Chapter 976: Return Gift
Five days later, in the morning, Cheng Kejia gave birth to three sons smoothly, and the Gu family was very happy to report the good news to the neighbors, and specially sent someone to inform the prefect's wife, who had always cared about Cheng Kejia.
After Ning heard the movement in Cheng Kejia's room late last night, she took care of the rest of the matter.
Ning's heart was also glad that she had made arrangements to take over the two stable women the day before.
The Gu family didn't have to do the thing that they had to do in the middle of the night to invite Wen Po, but had to disturb the neighbors.
Ning has always known that Cheng Kejia is a person with few things, but she never thought that Cheng Kejia could bear it so much, she has never screamed in pain, at most she snorted a few times.
Ning Shi said to her: "Jia'er, you can scream twice if you can't stand it." ”
Cheng Kejia whispered: "Sister-in-law, huh, you can't scream, whew, the children will be afraid." ”
Ning thought of the matter of the two children, she had to agree with Cheng Kejia's words, the Gu family in Yangzhou City was not big, and Cheng Kejia had always been too sensible.
At dawn, after the child was born safely, Ning said to Cheng Kejia: "Jia'er, you can rest assured, I have seen that the child is all right." ”
Cheng Kejia looked at Ning and whispered: "Sister-in-law, you have to sleep for a while when you find an opportunity, you and the master have guarded me for most of the night." ”
Gu Niangzi came in and looked at their sister-in-law, and whispered: "Little Miss, you can sleep at ease, there is a young grandmother here, and you don't need to worry about arranging everything." ”
Ning nodded lightly on the side and said, "Jia'er, after the sky is completely clear, I will send people to send good news everywhere, you can sleep at ease."
With Master Gu and me at home, everything will be in order. ”
Cheng Kejia is very relieved that the Ning family can take care of the affairs of the Cheng family, and a small family like the Gu family is just an idle thing for her.
After Cheng Kejia fell asleep, Gu Niangzi and Ning came out of the room, and Gu Niangzi discussed with Ning and said: "Grandma, you arrange the housework first, and after that, you go to rest, and I will guard here first." ”
Ning Shi listened to Gu Niangzi's words, she shook her head lightly and said: "Master Gu, you go and rest first, I will arrange things, there should be people to congratulate in the morning, I will come forward to greet the guests, I will wait until the afternoon, I will sleep peacefully for a while." ”
Gu Niangzi didn't care about Ning's in this matter, she nodded directly and said, "Grandma, I'll go to sleep first, if you have any matter, you just send someone to wake me up." ”
Ning Shi accepted the ancient lady, and she treated the housekeeper woman who had never slept all night and said: "Yesterday, no one in the courtyard slept, you assign people, some people go to sleep in the morning, and some people sleep in the afternoon."
After you arrange the matter, you will go and sleep with your eyes closed for a while, and when people come, you will accompany me to greet the guests. ”
The housekeeper woman nodded slightly, she looked at Ning's demeanor, she also knew that Ning's was tired all night last night, she hurriedly went to arrange manpower.
After the Gu Dingyang brothers woke up in the morning, they knew that they had a younger brother, and the two brothers looked at the little brother very happily, and they also knew not to make trouble with Cheng Kejia, who was asleep.
Gu Dingyang had the heart to stay at home and guard his little brother, and persuaded the Ning family, so he reluctantly left home to go to the school.
Gu Dinglei insisted on staying by his little brother's side, Ning reached out and gently touched his head, and whispered: "Brother Lei, the little brother is too young, don't reach out to touch him, okay?" ”
Gu Dinglei nodded lightly and said softly: "Auntie, Lei'er understands that my brother told me that my little brother at this time is untouchable." ”
Ning listened to Gu Dinglei's words, her heart was extremely happy, and Gu You taught Gu Dingyang's brothers quite well.
After Ning arranged things properly, she went back to her room and closed her eyes slightly, and she said to the girl next to her, "The guests are here, you wake me up." “
The girl nodded slightly, but took another thin quilt and put it on Ning's body, and she went out gently to guard the door.
In the morning, Mrs. Prefect came to Gu's house in person, and Mrs. Ning stepped forward to greet Mrs. Prefect, she heard that Cheng Kejia and the child were sleeping, so she talked to Ning in the courtyard.
Mrs. Prefect asked Ning, will there be a celebration ceremony after the newborn is three days old?
Ning smiled and said to the prefect's wife: "The custom of the Gu family, the child celebrates the full moon with his family, or celebrates with his family after a hundred days. Now that his father is in front of him, my sister said that she wanted to ask her brother-in-law what he meant before she made a decision. ”
Ning's performance learned that Shu Dali was very like a lady in charge of a family, and the prefect's wife listened to Ning's words, she nodded lightly and said, "Mrs. Cheng, then I will come back to see Mrs. Gu and the child in two days." ”
Ning smiled slightly and sent it to the prefect's wife, and she asked the housekeeper to register the gift.
The neighbors and wives also sent congratulatory gifts one after another, and they heard that Cheng Kejia was still sleeping, so they never entered Gu's house one by one, and of course they made an appointment to come back the next morning.
Ning greeted the neighbors and wives at the door, and when they repeatedly refused to enter the door, Ning no longer forced them.
Ning was gossiping with the ladies at the door, and she asked about the customs to be observed by newborns in Yangzhou City.
The ladies were willing to tell the Ning family that the Gu family came to report the good news in accordance with the rules of Yangzhou City, and sent happy eggs and happy glutinous rice to each family.
Ning listened to the ladies very carefully, and also asked them how to return the gift, she told the ladies that because Gu You was not at home, it was not convenient to hold a congratulatory banquet according to the rules in the near future.
Now the family has to wait for Gu Youze to decide, but the Gu family can't wait for Gu Youze to come back to make a decision, so she is curious to inquire about the customs in Yangzhou City.
The ladies naturally told the Ning family what they knew, and also told the Ning family how to deal with it at home, and the Ning family listened to the ladies with a smile, and everyone could feel the sincerity of the Ning family.
At noon, Cheng Kejia woke up for lunch, she looked at the red silk in Ning's eyes, and she whispered to Ning: "Sister-in-law, you go and rest for a while, in the afternoon, there are about no guests." ”
Ning nodded lightly, she told Cheng Kejia about the morning's events again, and she whispered: "We specially asked someone to prepare some more things, and when someone heard the news and rushed over, we just sent a copy of the good news to others." ”
Cheng Kejia nodded lightly and said, "Sister-in-law, according to your arrangement, since we don't hold a ceremony, we have to ask my sister-in-law to arrange the return gift." ”
Ning smiled and nodded lightly and said: "I'll take a look at the gifts sent by everyone, they are all about the same, only the gifts sent by the prefect's wife are thicker, you can return the gift in the future, this time, we will treat everyone equally if we are ready to return the gift." ”
