Date: 212-12-29
In the afternoon of the next day, He Deqing's mother, Mrs. Qian, rushed to Jiang's house, and gave Mrs. Cheng countless good words. \[\]
Li Danruo and Jiang Yan talked about each other, took five hundred taels of silver tickets and handed them over: "This is given to you by my wife, and it was originally for you to prepare a dowry." Jiang Yanfen took the silver ticket with red eyes, and Li Danruo took another three hundred taels of silver ticket and handed it over and said, "This is what I added to you, take it." ”
Jiang Yan held the silver ticket and looked at Li Danruo with teary eyes: "Fifth sister-in-law, I ......"
"Be careful in everything in the future, you ...... in the past" Li Danruo sighed softly and explained in a low voice: "The He family is too...... It's not to carry you into the door happily, He Deqing has only been married for two years, the little couple is a good time, she is a wife and a concubine, you are careful, Mrs. Qian went to our house to accompany and plead, I don't know how to be annoyed, but also be careful, when I am a girl, I am a coquettish, once I ...... When you leave your mother's house, you have to be patient, don't let your own temperament be, think more before you talk and do things. ”
Jiang Yanfan nodded her head again and again, knelt on the ground with weak legs, and kowtowed to Li Danruo a few times, Li Danruo hurriedly bent down and pulled her up, Jiang Yan choked up like rain of tears: "Fifth sister-in-law, I used to be bad for me, I listened to the instigation of others, and I didn't make it myself, I'm sorry for the Jiang family, I'm sorry for ......."
"Don't cry, it's useless to think about the past, live a good life in the future, just live a good life yourself." Li Danruo sighed secretly, comforted Jiang Yanfen a few more words, and then turned around and went back.
After two days, He Deqing took the little maid, mother-in-law, and a small sedan chair to carry Jiang Yanfen away.
During the Spring Festival this year, the Jiang family was quiet and did not have half a bit of joy, only at the end of the month of Layue, they received a letter from Jiang Yanying in Xiongnan, saying that everything was fine, which was the only bright color in the gloom.
At the end of the first month, Wu San's grandmother finally replied to her mother's letter, saying that it was because her mother was unwell and didn't bother to send someone to visit, Wu San's grandmother tossed and turned all night, and the next day she went to ask Mrs. Cheng to show that she wanted to take Brother Xian and Sister Rui to follow her mother-in-law back to her mother's house to wait for her sick mother, Mrs. Cheng was silent for a long time, and then looked at Wu San's grandmother and said: "I won't stop you if you want to go back, ask your mother for me, and when San Lang comes back, I will let him pick you up." After a pause, Mrs. Cheng continued: "If you are bored, come back, in the end, this is your home." ”
Grandma Wu San lowered her head and agreed, turned around, went back to pack her things, and set off early the next morning to return to her parents' house.
At the beginning of February, Li Danruo was pregnant, which made the Jiang family add countless joys after a year of gloom, Jiang Yanming personally went to Wuwei Mansion to report the good news, Yang was happy and afraid, and he was going to come to Jiangning Mansion with Jiang Yan to visit his daughter that day, Han San's grandmother said that she persuaded her, and prepared some food the next day, Li Yunzhi took a few days off, accompanied him to Jiangning, and stayed for two days before going back.
In the evening, Mama Shen came back from the dim sum shop early, opened the curtain and came in, Li Danruo was sitting on the couch sewing a small dress, and when she saw Mama Shen coming in, she smiled and asked her to sit down, Mama Shen looked at it and smiled: "Don't do such delicate work, beware of being tired." ”
"It's okay, Mama came back early today, and the shop is busy?"
"It's almost over, I have something to tell you, I'll come back a little early."
"Huh? What's wrong? Li Danruo was surprised, Mama Shen hurriedly waved her hand and said: "It's okay, it's okay, nothing happened, I'm just ......" Mama Shen got up and looked left and right at the door, then sat back, looked at Li Danruo and said: "Originally, I shouldn't have said this, but I'm afraid that grandma hasn't gone through such a thing, so I'll say more." ”
"Mama has anything to say." Li Danruo said with a smile, Mama Shen's eyes stared at Li Danruo and she couldn't see her abdomen at all, and coughed lightly: "Now that you have a body, the fifth master is waiting for someone around, you have to pick one." ”
Li Danruo was stunned, looked at Mama Shen and asked in a low voice, "When my mother was pregnant with me many years ago, did you also choose someone to wait for my father?" ”
"That is, in this small year, how can you do it without someone waiting for you? It's the wife to marry the girl, when you were three or four months old, the lord asked the wife to send her to marry, at that time, the lord was in office, and he married to the office, and now we Jiang Ning, sooner or later, we have to go back, and when you are out of confinement, find a good person for her to marry Jiang Ning, according to me, let Zhu Yi go over to wait, fat red is a strong temperament, and second, she is more useful than Zhu Yi in the future, Zhu Yi is soft, easy-going, and her appearance is passable, but suitable. Mama Shen said it simply, and she got to the bottom of what she said.
Li Danruo pinched the small clothes in his hand, lowered his eyes and was silent for a while, before he looked at Mama Shen and shook his head and said: "I don't arrange for him, I haven't had a good day since I was pregnant with a child, I feel uncomfortable smelling anything, this is still a trivial matter, I will give birth when I turn around, you also said, that is one foot to give birth to one foot and one foot to die, I suffered such a big crime to give birth to him, he can't even bear this little thing?" I don't arrange for him, my maids are all innocent little ladies, don't spoil him, if he can't bear it, he will go by himself. ”
Mama Shen took a deep breath, sighed and nodded: "Nacheng, I'm afraid that grandma will forget, and I don't think there is such a reason, but the whole world is full of this reason, what is the way?" Forget it, I won't say much, you have an idea since you were a child, I think the fifth master is also a good, now such a day, you can live a safe and stable life, okay, okay, I won't say it, don't do this needlework, rest well, I still have to let Ming'er send a few more catties of lotus seeds over, today Zhangfu is coming, let me send a few more catties of lotus seeds, I will go down, you have a good rest. ”
Li Danruo sent Mama Shen away, lowered his head and pricked a few stitches, then put his small clothes aside, got off the bed, walked back and forth a few times, poured a cup of tea and drank it slowly.
After dinner in the evening, Li Danruo was a little disheartened and put the account right, handed it over to Fat Hong to accept it, turned his head to look at Jiang Yanming who was looking at the book on the crooked couch, hesitated for a moment, sat sideways on the couch, looked at Jiang Yanming and asked casually: "I think of something, I have to discuss it with you." ”
"What's the matter?" Jiang Yanming put down the book in his hand and asked, Li Danruo took the book from Jiang Yanming's hand and flipped through it: "I'm pregnant now, take a look, do you want to arrange a personal waiter for you, do you have a fancy for yourself?" Jiang Yanming looked at Li Danruo with surprise in his eyes, and was stunned for a moment before he smiled: "Why did you suddenly think of this?" I'm fine, didn't you say ......" Jiang Yanming stopped, took the book that was folded around in Li Danruo's hand, and said with a smile: "I will accept the people in the room now, so I won't hurt you?" ”
Li Danruo looked at Jiang Yanming and didn't answer, Jiang Yanming put the book on the table, stretched out his hand and pulled Li Danruo's hand and said with a smile: "I have kept filial piety for three years, and it's only been a year, don't ...... Thinking too much, are you better today? Tomorrow I will go to the Fangshengqiao morning market, saying that there are fresh melons and vegetables for sale, and see if I can buy some for you. ”
"It's better, how expensive are the fresh melons and vegetables at this time, forget it, you brought back the sour dates yesterday and eat them well, and buy a few catties tomorrow, I'll let Yao Huang try to make some dim sum and taste it." Li Danruo smiled a little embarrassedly, Jiang Yanming nodded in response, and the two gossiped for a while before washing up and resting.
At the end of November, Li Danruo gave birth to her eldest son smoothly, and the Yang family grabbed the old lady Cheng and picked up her grandson, touched the wrinkled little face distressedly, looked at Li Danruo and comforted: "I'm not afraid of being thin, the thinner and longer, yo, look at it, this is the opening of the eyes, how dark and bright these eyes are, look at the grandmother's heart." ”
It wasn't until it was nearly noon, when the four sides cleaned up, that Jiang Yanming was put into the house, and he was about to enter the house in three steps and two steps, but was stopped by Shen Mama reaching out: "Fifth master, don't worry, there are clothes there, go and change your clothes first, clean your hands and face and then go in, adults and children are delicate, and you can't bring a trace of dirt in." ”
Although Jiang Yanming said that he was anxious, he was honestly stared at by Mama Shen, cleaned his hands and face, changed his clothes, and then turned into the back room.
In the house, Li Danruo was already tired and sleepy, Jiang Yanming walked lightly to the bed, leaned over, and looked carefully for a while before straightening up and exiting the house lightly.
In the West Chamber, Mrs. Cheng and the Yang family are guarding the child, which is rare, Mrs. Cheng saw Jiang Yanming coming, and hurriedly smiled and beckoned: "Come and see, this child must be a smart person, from birth to now, this eye will look around non-stop, you say, what can he see for such a big child?" This spirit is really good, just dripping coptis into his mouth, he smacked his mouth, eating coptis is also sweet. ”
Jiang Yanming looked at the slap-big, wrinkled little face in the splendid baggage on the couch, and couldn't help but be surprised and whispered: "So small!"
"It's not small, although it's thin, it's big! Is this still small? Yang stared at his grandson intently and smiled: "Look at it, how good those eyes are, just like Sister Ruo'er." ”
"It's still like Gorou, look at it, this little face comes out of the same mold as Gorou, it's a small one, one is big." Mrs. Cheng looked at the child, then at Jiang Yanming and said with a smile, Jiang Yanming raised his hand and stroked his face and said with a smile: "Qian'er Danruo also said the same, saying that the child is born like a father, so as to tell everyone who is his father." ”
"Look at what stupid thing this is, who is his father or do you need to see? I think you are happy and stupid, by the way, hurry up and help me to put incense on Guanyin Bodhisattva, all of them are blessed by the Bodhisattva, safe and sound. Mrs. Cheng remembered the big event, and hurriedly signaled to Dou Ludao, Dou Lu helped Mrs. Cheng to go over to the main house to incense, Yang and Jiang Yanming looked at the child, and the more they looked at it, the more they felt good-looking.
