After sending Huang Lu away, Jian Ning studied the things sent by Zhengde, and gradually had a smile on his face.

I have to say that Zhengde is quite tasteful. The things she chose were simple and elegant, which was very much in line with her taste, especially the imperial cloisonné enamel double crane incense burner, which was really beautiful.

Let people put away everything else, only left the cloisonné enamel double crane incense burner, let Zhang's mother cast some Zhao Qing incense into it, after a while, a light sweet fragrance spread, and the monotonous winter seems to have a little more spring warmth.

Compared with Hong's father's lychee incense, the sweetness and depth of the incense in the main account of Jiangnan Li, Jian Ning loves the elegance of Zhao Qing's incense.

In ancient times, incense was generally composed of the name of the incense maker and the name of the incense. But this Zhao Qing Xiangong is a direct minister like Bao Zheng, and the incense made is not only simple in process, but also ordinary in raw materials. It is very in line with Zhao Qingxian's fair and honest character, uprightness, and not tending to be inflammatory, as its name suggests, its name is the rhyme of incense, so this incense is not attached to the name of incense, and I think it is also the admiration of future generations.

The elegant incense and the elegant incense burner complement each other, and the smoke rises, even rough people like Wang Mazi feel that their realm has improved, and they suddenly feel that I am also an elegant person.

The family watched the things rewarded by the Son of Heaven for a long time, and finally worried that there would be thieves to steal them, and finally simply suggested that when Jian Ning returned to Beijing, he would take the things with him.

Needless to say, Jainning will do it.

After all, it's better to keep the royal gift closely, and if you lose it, it's a big sin, and you will inevitably be taken advantage of.

After asking Bizhu Zhang's mother to hide the things, she ordered: "Make some food out of those specialties and give them to the neighbors, and then the Sun family will also send some, and they will give the old lady a taste." Don't say anything else, just say that you have sent some souvenirs to avoid being remembered. ”

Everyone nodded, Liu Jin's power is not small, even Lu Desheng has to be a man with his tail between his legs, so he knows how wide Liu Gonggong's sphere of influence is. The heart of defense is indispensable, and the special object is the cautious Liu Gonggong.

After taking care of these, the morning passed, and the afternoon was a busy day, and it was not until more than four o'clock in the afternoon that the alley became lively. Every family began to offer to their ancestors, and soon the alley was filled with the smell of smoke, which was the smell of paper money burning.

After sacrificing to the ancestors, after the sound of firecrackers, the reunion dinner officially began. This year is much more lively than in previous years. Everyone was left behind by Janening, even the flatheads and their brothers.

Everyone knows that we don't know what year we will see each other again, so we always have to get together.

The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was naturally lively, and the neighbors who received the gifts also came to visit the door and congratulated Jian Ning.

There is a daughter-in-law in an alley, which is also a particularly dignified thing for the neighbors. If you can get closer now, you naturally have to get closer, and you will talk about it in the future, right?

So after the reunion dinner was over, Jian Ning's house was already full of people, all of whom came to say goodbye and chatter, so it was not lively.

The joy lasted until the child, when the sound of firecrackers sounded, the four years of Zhengde officially passed, and the oncoming five years of Zhengde did not know how wonderful it would be?

In the blink of an eye, the first month is out; In the blink of an eye, the green color appeared on the earth again, and Xi'er was about to give birth.

In ancient times, when a woman gave birth to a child, it was equivalent to passing the ghost gate, although Xi'er was not young when she married her second brother, but Jian Ning was still quite worried about the medical conditions in this ancient world. But she didn't have a better way, so all she could do was to go to Tianning Temple to pray for blessings.

Asking for comfort left and right can also make Xi'er, a pregnant woman, feel more at ease. These days, she has lost weight, her heart is always unsteady, and she suffers from gains and losses, which shows the great psychological pressure and the horror of giving birth to children in ancient times.

Moreover, Jian Ning thought that he had borrowed his corpse to return his soul, who would dare to say that gods and Buddhas did not exist? It's always right to pray. I simply brought some more silver, and while praying for Xi'er, I also asked the masters in the temple to help make a French ceremony, one to override the dead, and the other to pray for blessings, praying for the blessings of the ancestors and the safety of Xi'er's mother and son.

After doing a French ceremony, Xi'er seemed to be a little more down-to-earth, and finally stopped chattering. But after two days, she became uneasy again, she was afraid that she would give birth to a daughter.

Jiangnan customs, it is ominous for a woman to be born in February. The queen of Emperor Yang of Sui was born in February, and coincidentally, she was also from Changzhou. I don't know how many times I've heard this story be told by people, and I didn't take it seriously before, but now that I'm about to give birth, I somehow remember it again.

What if I give birth to a daughter!

When Jian Ning learned her thoughts, she was a little speechless. Although she is also burning incense and worshiping the Buddha now, she also has to talk about wisdom in such things, how can there be any ominous people in this world? Faith and superstition are two different things!

"There are so many daughters born in February, can't they drown after birth?"

Jian Ning looked at Xi'er, who had lost weight again, and couldn't help frowning: "Then the sin is greater if you drown, so don't think about it." Besides, no one takes that custom seriously now, so Queen Xiao has become the queen! ”

"But, but her life is also miserable!"

Xi'er red-eyed, "One daughter doesn't care about two husbands, she, she ......"

"Do you think my niece can still be a queen? Even if you are the queen, our Ming country is strong, and we will never let your daughter do it after the death of the country. ”

Jian Ning quipped, "Okay, okay, don't think nonsense, whether male or female, my Jian family doesn't dislike it, it's a big deal to let the master in the temple do the ritual again." This person's fate is not predestined, virtue matching can change life, otherwise even if there is a good life, it will become a bad life, you have time to worry about this, it is better to think about how to teach children in the future. ”

"Alas, that's the truth, but I just can't help but think about it, and my brain can't stop."

……

Isn't this a pregnant woman's depression or something? No, when the child is born, you have to find a doctor to take care of it and explain it more, so as not to get anything wrong.

In the blink of an eye, it was February, and Xi'er's movement was already very inconvenient, and after a few days, she felt a faint pain in her stomach, and it was a big pain in less than an hour.

Fortunately, there are a few children in the family who have given birth, but they will not panic. As for the obstetrics, the doctor who is good at gynecology has already found it, and when he saw that Xi'er had a stomachache, he immediately asked Fuda to call everyone over.

Xi'er hummed and chirped, she is actually very strong in her bones, and her tolerance for pain is also more than that of ordinary people, after all, she is a baby who was beaten by her father!

But Rao is like this, the pain of childbirth is still beyond the patience of ordinary people, at first she can bear it, but in the back, she can't help but scream, "Mother, mother, my waist is sore, sore, as if it is going to fall, it hurts, and I want to vomit ......"

"This wife, don't shout, you breathe like this with me, don't shout, save your energy, it's not time yet, when it really hurts, you have to work hard!"

Jian Ning was shocked when she heard this, she looked quite calm sitting outside, but the hand holding the armrest was already sweaty.

As for the second brother, he was stunned.

Is this how they all came about? Do mothers have to be so sad to give birth to them? As soon as he knocked on the door, he was arrested by Zhang Ma and others, and he was stopped by Fuda when he wanted to go in, and in the end, he could only shout at the door, "Xi'er doesn't hurt, I'll blow it for you." ”

As he spoke, he blew on the door frame, whirring and stupid, but the tension was eased a little.

Xi'er in the house was not only not encouraged when she heard this, but was sad, and couldn't help crying out: "Second brother, if I can't get over this hurdle, you must treat our children well!" A motherless child has a hard life and can't ......"

"Oh, my ancestor, you can say something auspicious!"

Xi'erniang's voice came out of the house, "What stupid thing are you talking about? Shut up, bah, don't dare to say this, don't cry, save your strength to have a baby! ”

Jian Ning's heart tightened when she was shouted by this, and urged: "What about the ginseng chicken soup prepared?" Okay, no? Go and urge and let Xi'er eat. ”

"It's coming, it's coming!"

Xiangzhi came over with a bowl of soup, "Girl, it's ready, the slave will take it in." ”

"I'll go in with you."

"Don't you dare!"

As soon as Jian Ning said this, Zhang's mother grabbed her, "Big girl, it will be your good life in a few days, the delivery room is filthy, you are not married yet, you can't go in!" ”

"Where is there anything that is filthy and not filthy? It's okay if a man can't go in, why can't I go in either? ”

"You, you're not married yet."

Wang Mazi tightened his throat and said: "If it doesn't go well, it will, it will restrain you." And, and, you, you're about to become a princess, and you can't go into such a place. ”

As he spoke, he lowered his head, and there seemed to be tears in the corners of his eyes.

Although he used to be a bastard, he was sick and enjoyed the blessings of his daughter, so he naturally thought of his daughter's good things, and his own was not.

At this time, the daughter is struggling with life and death, and it is indeed heartbreaking for a father to say this, Xi'er has been six hours since the attack in the morning, and it is inevitable that people are not worried.

He was afraid that he had mistreated her before, causing his body to be too poor to give birth to this child, and he didn't know how to face his daughter-in-law and in-laws.

"Xi'er is working hard for my Jian family, I have no reason to stand here."

Jian Ning said: "I'll go in and have a look, no one will know if you don't say it." ”

As he spoke, he pushed Zhang's mother's hand away, but Zhang's mother was stubborn, "No, girl!" You can't go in, you can't! ”

"Mom Zhang, get out of the way!"

Jian Ning didn't believe in the filth of the delivery room, and she didn't go in before just to let Xi'er give birth with peace of mind. But now it's different, it's been 12 hours since the attack, and although it's useless for her to go in, at least she can give Xi'er some encouragement.

"Don't let it! Girl, you just quit me, and I won't let you in. You are not married, you cannot give birth......"

"Wow!"

The baby's cry broke the dispute between the two, and the two were stunned, and then rejoiced, "But you gave birth?!" ”

"Oh my god!"

There was an exclamation from inside, and when Jian Ning, who was happy, heard this voice, her heart sank, and she pushed Zhang's mother away and rushed in: "What's wrong?" Mother and child are safe?! ”

"First, sir, this, this, there's another one in this!!"

"Huh?"

"Out, out......"

The midwife stuffed the child into Xi'erniang's hand, and quickly wiped the child, this wife, use your strength again, you still have one in your belly!! ”

Jian Ning's heart sank.

Xi'er was born almost full-term, and although her belly looked bigger than others, the doctor at this time could tell whether she was a twin or a single child by taking the pulse. I haven't been able to call it before, could it be that there is something wrong with the child?

The first child who came out cried loudly, thinking that it was strong, but the other ......

Xi'er Niang held the child, and she didn't have time to surprise her daughter with a son, and an ominous thought rose in her heart.

Generally, twins will be born early, and their daughters will be born almost full-term, will they be the other?

Jian Ning stepped forward to hold Xi'er's hand, and pretended to be calm: "It's actually a twin?" That's great! Xi'er, good job, work hard! When you're ready, I'll cook it myself and make you belly chicken to eat! ”

Xi'er has been in pain, her strength has long been exhausted, people are also confused, her brain can't work at all, her heart only faintly flashed a trace of strangeness, she had time to think about it in the future, and her stomach hurt again, and it didn't take long for her to feel something gushing out, only to hear a "come out", and the person fainted.

"Yes, it's a girl."

The midwife held a child, really small and pitiful, like a cat, patted a few times, cried weakly, and then fell silent.

Jian Ning hurriedly stepped forward to check, but when he saw it, his face was pale, the child's feet were deformed, his left foot actually had six toes, and the soles of his feet were deformed to a certain extent, he was born with a disability, which ......

It's cruel for a child!

What's more, this child is so thin and weak, and with the current medical conditions, I don't know if he can support it?

She took a deep breath and said, "It's good that the mother and son are safe." ”

As he spoke, he took out the happy money that he had prepared a long time ago, handed it to the midwife, and said in a slightly cold tone: "I have worked hard for you, but this child was born with a hard life, and if he is gossiped again, even if he can become an adult, he will be forced to death by rumors." Mother was born with a kind face, I don't think I would let a child bear this, right? ”

The midwife's cold sweat came down. This is Mr. Jinling, and I heard that this person is about to become the imperial concubine, and she doesn't dare to say anything about the emperor's relatives and relatives if she has ten dares!

After receiving the happy money at the moment, he swore again and again: "Sir, please rest assured." Although my mother-in-law Qin is a ninth-rate, she can deliver babies to rich and noble families, understand the rules, and will never chew the root of her tongue. ”

"That's good."

Jian Ning smiled, and took out a red envelope again, "It's not just twins, or dragon and phoenix fetuses, so naturally you have to get two copies of this happy money, thank you Mom." ”

Mother Qin was naturally happy when she saw that she had two happy money, where did she care about the rest? Mother and child are safe, isn't that enough? Looking at the appearance of this child, he may not be able to grow up, so much does the big family care? At that moment, he happily took the money and left.

As soon as the people left, Jian Ning pushed Xi'erniang, who was already stupid, and said, "What are you still doing in a daze?" Quickly take the child out, don't show it to Xi'er first, let the doctor take a look first! ”

"Oh, oh, yes, yes......"

She burst into tears as she spoke, "This, this kid ......"

"Crying for what?!"

Jian Ning scolded: "The sky hasn't fallen yet!" As long as this kid can live, it's better than anything else! Even if it's a cripple, it's my Jane's species! Besides, it's just a number of fingers, strange people have different appearances, Zhu Zhishan still has six fingers, people are Jiangnan celebrities! I see that this girl is stubborn, and she has come to the world after being squeezed out like this by her brother, maybe she will have great blessings! Let's go, let the doctor take a look, and survive first! ”
