In August, Li Yuju also gave birth to a son, Mrs. Liu should have etiquette and decency, and sent An's time to visit him inoften, Di Tuiguan also expressed his joy before and after, but when the child was full moon, the full moon wine was not done, Di Tuiguan deliberately went to the house and Li Yujing explained in detail, one is that the child was born weak, and second, Li Yuju had a difficult birth when she gave birth, and she has not yet recuperated, Li Yujing never took care of the affairs of the inner house, and went back to tell Mrs. Liu about it, Mrs. Liu didn't mind, The next day and Mrs. Ning explained in detail, Mrs. Ning was silent for a long time, and she didn't say anything, only ordered the full moon ceremony to be thickened and sent over.
The day after Li Yuju's full moon, Li Danruo said to Mrs. Ning, took her mother, sister-in-law and herself to prepare a full moon ceremony, and got in the car to visit Li Yuju in Di's mansion.
This is Li Danruo's first time back to the Di Mansion, the Di Mansion is not finished from the Beijing Mansion, the gate is extremely bright, but it is too bright and fresh, the car 'clattered' and entered the second door, Li Danruo put down the curtain of the car, helped Wei Zi's hand to get out of the car, in the second door, only Chunyan was alone and waiting outside, seeing Li Danruo get out of the car, he was busy smiling and greeting him, Li Danruo smiled and raised his hand, but his eyes fell on Chunyan's bun, Chunyan said in a low voice: "The next month after entering the house, my wife opened her face to me and Chunhua." Li Danruo's heart suddenly became numb, he patted Chunyan with pity, and asked in a low voice while walking in with her: "Why are you coming out alone?" What about Di Jiada/Grandma? ”
"How can she be willing to come out, she ......" Chunyan's face was full of anger, but she didn't know how to say it, where to speak, Li Danruo hurriedly signaled: "I know, I asked the difference, shouldn't I ask like this, I heard that your lord brought in a room of concubines last month?" ”
"Well, a Qing man, Chengnan Wazi is filial piety, and the lord is now spoiling her." Chunyan said in a low voice, Li Danruo sighed secretly, changed the topic and asked about the child: "...... Heard that spitting up all the time? The last time the ancestor sent someone to teach the nurse how to shoot the milk, has the nurse learned? ”
"No, grandma didn't let me teach, saying that it didn't conform to the rules of the house, and now I'm still throwing up, but it's a little better." Chunyan said in a low voice, Li Danruo was bored for a long time before chuckling and said, "Does he still have rules in the Di family?" Chunyan didn't dare to answer, Li Danruo took a deep breath, didn't ask any more, looked at the scenery along the road, and after a while, the group entered Li Yuju's courtyard.
Chunyan led Li Danruo into the East Chamber, before the opening of the furnace festival, there were only a few charcoal basins burning in the East Chamber, and the burning house was also warm, but the charcoal was a little heavy, Li Yuju was wrapped in a quilt and half lying on the kang, seeing Li Danruo coming in, he was about to sit up with his arms propped up, Li Danruo hurriedly signaled: "Second sister, don't move, just lie down like this, I'll sit down and talk." ”
Speaking, in addition to the cloak, he sat sideways on the kang and looked at Li Yuju's face carefully, Li Yuju had a smile on his face, and ordered in a weak voice: "Take the old man yesterday to make a bowl of autumn tea for the fourth sister to taste." Chunhua agreed, and went down to make tea in person, Li Danruo took a sip, praised a few words, looked at Li Yuju and said with a smile: "What about the child, I'll go and see him first, and we'll talk when we come back." ”
"Let them carry you and see." Li Yuju said with a thick and gentle smile on her face, Chunyan hurriedly went to the next door to call the nurse, and was brought over with a big red envelope, Li Danruo looked at the sturdy nurse, looked at Chunyan and smiled: "This nurse is strong, your grandma is looking for it?" ”
"Well, Grandma personally picked it up and sent it over."
"The master also said that I am strong, and only when I am strong can I be a good nurse!" The nurse laughed and grabbed a sentence, Li Danruo stood up and reached out to pick up the child, the nurse hurriedly shouted: "Alas, the eldest lady also has to be careful, this doll has no bones, but you have to be careful!" Li Danruo frowned slightly, ignored her, reached out to take the child, sat on the kang with his arms, picked up the big red silk quilt outside, looked at the child with a thin face like a cat, and slept very heavily with his eyes closed, looked around, held it with one hand, took out one hand and pinched the bundle and tied the candle bag, looked at the nurse and smiled: "You don't need any bones, you tie your brother into a bone!" No matter how young this child is, he is also a human being, you see, he is not uncomfortable tied up like this? Changed you, tied you up like this, are you uncomfortable? ”
"The eldest lady can't say that, this child has to be tied up like this, otherwise he will grow up with bent arms and legs, and he will not grow an adult! How many lifetimes is this old rule, can it be wrong?!" The nurse retorted very unceremoniously,
"How are you talking to the fourth lady?" Chunyan frowned and said, the nurse turned her head to look at Chunyan, and blocked back very unceremoniously: "I should be the eldest lady, the fourth lady is a girl's family, what does she know?" Isn't this called talking well? I told her to hear it, and she didn't understand. Li Danruo stared at the nurse coldly for a moment, hugged the child, and carefully untied the horizontal and vertical and sturdy silk ribbon, Li Yuju hurriedly reached out and grabbed Li Danruo's hand and whispered: "My aunt came back to see it, and said that she wanted to take it like this." ”
"Don't you know the rules of our house? Aunt doesn't know? Li Danruo looked at Li Yuju in a daze and asked, Li Yuju's eyes flickered and said vaguely: "Our house is our house's rules, my aunt said, the old rules are like this, besides, here are also the rules." ”
The nurse looked at Li Danruo proudly, pouted again, and swept Chunyan from the corner of her eyes, Li Danruo's heart was indescribably sour, and she smiled reluctantly for a while: "The second sister said yes, the child is the second sister's child." Li Danruo looked at the baby in his arms, bowed his head and kissed his forehead very lightly and gently, and handed the child to the nurse, who held the child and raised her chin proudly at Li Danruo, and turned back proudly.
"Slow!" Li Danruo's voice was cold and stopped her: "You listen well, brother, you are naturally good, if brother is half inappropriate, your wife can spare you, I won't spare you!" Go for it!" The nurse shuddered, and even took a few steps back, but she left in a panic.
"Fourth sister, don't scare her." Li Yuju pulled Li Danruo and said in a low voice, Li Danruo looked at Li Yuju, waved her hand at Chunyan, Chunyan understood, hurriedly withdrew from the girls, and stood at the door by herself, Li Danruo pulled Li Yuju and asked in a low voice: "Second sister and tell me the truth, are you comfortable living this day?" ”
Li Yuju's eyelashes trembled non-stop, she closed her eyes, tears slipped down from the corners of her eyes, and it took a while for her to speak: "What's uncomfortable, isn't it all like this?" Isn't that the case all the same? ”
"Alas! The fourth lady is here, look at it, I'm so busy that I didn't bother to go out! No one in this family cares, it's all on me! I'm so busy every day!" However, a person's voice, but the noise in this courtyard suddenly became piercing, Li Yuju was a little anxious, pressed the corner of her eyes with a handkerchief, Li Danruo reached out and patted her and whispered: "I can't see it." Li Yuju's heart settled for a moment, looked at Li Danruo and said in a low voice: "It's big/grandma." ”
"yes, I know." Li Danruo replied sullenly, between two sentences, the eldest / grandmother had already rushed into the house, Li Danruo sat on the kang, picked up the tea, and looked at the eldest / grandma for a long time, the eldest / grandma saw Li Danruo looking at herself, did not move or speak, and smiled slightly: "This is the fourth lady, yo, it is really good!"
"You should call me Fourth Aunt, right?" Li Danruo smiled slightly, took a sip of tea, and said in a slow voice, grandma turned her head angrily and stared at Li Yuju, Li Yuju shuddered, stretched out her hand and pulled Li Danruo, Li Danruo turned her head to look at her and smiled: "Sister, don't worry, the first trip, how can I forget this meeting gift." As he spoke, he raised his voice and called Wei Zi to order, "Wei Zi, bring in the purse I prepared for my eldest nephew and daughter-in-law." After the order, he turned his head to look at the eldest / grandmother, and said with a faint smile: "We are all big families, the first word of ceremony, the second rule, these two things, no matter how wrong they are, otherwise, no matter how much silver, it will also make the people in the capital look down on, don't you say?" ”
Grandma's face turned purple, but she couldn't make a sound, Li Danruo held the cup, sipped the tea with a smile, and watched Wei Zi come in with a purse, before she indifferently ordered: "I'll talk to your mother, you go and get busy." Grandma was reluctant, but she had to take Wei Zi and almost stuff it into her purse, Tie Qing bent her knees with a blushing face, turned around and went out with a suppressed breath.
Li Yuju listened to the sound of grandma's footsteps far away, and then laughed in a low voice: "She too, the third sister came last time, and it was also boring, really when our sisters are all my temper, what do you give her?" Don't break the bank. ”
"I didn't break the bank, I didn't think of preparing a gift for her, but I usually bring it with me in case I use a purse, and it is a one-to-one double silver bill." Li Danruo saw Li Yuju smiling, and explained with a relaxed smile in a busy tone, Li Yuju breathed a sigh of relief, with a strong smile on her face, pursed her lips and smiled for a while, before continuing the topic just now: "You don't have to worry about me, it's nothing good, why does the lord come to my house to rest for one night or two nights a month, I am also content, my aunt persuaded me, don't you come here like this?" My mother is so capable and strong, but isn't my father too...... The lord has not forgotten me, and he often comes, and now that he has a son, I just keep my son, I'm fine, these tears have only increased since I gave birth to a child, and I love to shed tears in the confinement, and I am sad when I have nothing to do. ”
