Chapter 117: The Virtue of Bitter Haha
In February, the winter color fades, and the slightly warm wind caresses the pink wall tiles in the south of the Yangtze River, bringing a trace of warmth.
The pedestrians who run away also stretch their limbs and enjoy the warmth of spring.
Spring is the best start of the year, but for the Jian family and the Wang family, this spring day is a little cold.
It has been three days since the birth of the dragon and phoenix fetus, and according to the rules, on this day, relatives and friends from all over the neighborhood were invited to come over to baptize the child. In ancient times, the baptism ceremony was an important ceremony in the birth ceremony, but now it has to be held in a low-key manner because the child has a disability.
Jian Ning didn't care about other people's opinions, but she had to consider Xi'er's feelings. For a mother, giving birth to a child with a disability is a blow that cannot be said to be a blow. For women in ancient times, this was even more so.
Therefore, after thinking about it, it can only be carried out in a low-key manner.
Xi'er Niang sighed for a long time, looking at the child in Jian Ning's arms and worried, "If it's a boy, it's better, but, but a girl's family, this, how is this good?" How will you get married in the future? ”
"But more toes, what's it?"
Jian Ning pretended to be relaxed and said: "The doctor said that the child's bones are soft, and some crooked soles can be corrected, but they have to suffer a little." ”
Xi'er on the side heard this, and her tears fell again. There are tears in this tear, there is sadness, and there is fear. Giving birth to a disabled child is not a good name for either the child or the mother, and it will even be blamed by the husband's family and regarded as ominous.
"Don't cry, Xi'er."
Jian Ning comforted: "The doctor said, this child can't snatch his brother in the stomach, and he looks a little thinner, so he can take care of it under the conditions of our family, and his body will always get better." ”
After a pause, he said, "Besides, what's the matter with raising an aunt and grandmother for a lifetime?" What kind of food is our family missing? You don't have to think too much, take good care of your body. ”
"yes."
Hearing Jian Ning say this, Xi'er Niang's heart was also a lot more steady, and she felt very comforted, and finally had some smiles on her face, "Don't cry anymore, crying in confinement is not good for your eyes, take care of your body, and have a good girl in the future." ”
"This child is also the blood of my Jane family."
Jian Ning frowned, "It's because she was born with a disability, so we have to treat her better, so as not to have a crooked heart." ”
As he spoke, he said with a cold face: "Mother Zhang, all the orders, if anyone dares to snub the eldest sister, don't blame me for being unkind!" ”
"Don't worry, girl, there will never be such a thing."
Jian Ning stretched out his hand and nodded the child's little mouth, and the little guy blew a bubble on his face, which made Jian Ning laugh, "Look at you clever ghost, how can your aunt tease you?" You, eat more, eat your brother's share, who let him bully you in your mother's belly? ”
Hearing this, Xi'er finally felt a little more comfortable, wiped her tears and said: "Sanniang, you are not right, it's good to grow up, multiple toes are nothing." ”
After hesitating, he said, "The doctor said...... When will the eldest sister correct the soles of her feet? How painful is it? ”
"It's going to take a few more days to recuperate, she's too thin. The doctor also has some ability, he touched it, and said that the child's feet can be good, but there will always be some influence on walking in the future. ”
"Amitabha, it's good to be able to go, otherwise your life will be hard."
Xi'er Niang clasped her hands together, "Wait for the confinement to come out, and then go to worship the Bodhisattva, don't ask this child to be rich and rich, just ask for someone who knows cold and hot in the future." ”
Jian Ning smiled, "Then it depends on her creation." ”
"Sanniang, Da Lang."
The second brother came in with Da Lang in his arms, looking at a loss, "This, how can you get this?" ”
Jian Ning smiled, "When you become a father, you know that your parents are hard, right?" ”
The second brother put the child next to Xi'er, "Hard, hard, don't give birth again, it scares me to death." I have sons and daughters, don't have any more. ”
"Well, in a few years, you want to be born, if you don't want to be born, you won't be born."
Xi'er Niang was taken aback, who doesn't pay attention to having more children and more blessings these days? After thinking about it, this is Sanniang's thoughtful Xi'er, and I can't help but be moved. At the same time, I feel more and more guilty, it must be because Xi'er's life is not good, so she gave birth to a bad child.
No, I'll talk to Xi'er later, after a year or two, I still have to have another child, I can't let Sanniang's family Ding be too thin, and his family will point to the second brother to inherit the lineage.
Xi'er also thinks the same, the more Sanniang doesn't care, the more guilty she feels. I only secretly cheered myself up, and then I had to give birth to a healthy child.
Jian Ning didn't know what the mother and daughter were thinking, and only looked at the niece in her arms with more and more pity. Being disabled can be discriminated against in modern times, let alone in ancient times.
In the future, we should pay more attention to this child and give more love. It is not terrible to have a disability, but it is the real sorrow to have a disability.
In a blink of an eye, half a month has passed, and the eldest sister has been raised for a long time, and she has become stronger. And the correction of the soles of the feet cannot wait any longer.
On this day, Dr. Huang came over with his apprentice, straightened the child's feet slightly, and then clamped the two wooden boards, and then wrapped them with strips of cloth.
The process is naturally tossed, and Xi'er, who is a mother, can't bear to look at it anymore. The child cried a lot, but for the sake of the child's future, he could only endure it.
And this is just the beginning, in the future, the eldest sister will have to continue to exercise her feet in order to slowly walk like a normal person.
Dr. Huang wiped the sweat from his head and said, "You remember to wash it every day, soak the child's feet in hot water, and do it every day, otherwise the blood and qi will be blocked, the muscles and veins will be atrophied, and the feet will be rotten." ”
Jian Ning nodded, seeing that the eldest sister was still sobbing and choking, she asked, "Doctor Huang, how much does this hurt?" I don't think the child's feet are bent very much, why do they cry so much? If you keep crying like this in the future, it will also damage your body, which is not a good thing. ”
"It's a bit of a toss just now, it's like wrapping your feet."
Seeing Jian Ning frowning, he hurriedly said: "The bones of this kind of newborn child are still soft, and they don't hurt like wrapping their feet, but they always have to suffer some pain, although they are still a little lame when they walk in the future, it is better than lying in bed for a lifetime." ”
After a pause, he said: "I will prescribe the medicine to strengthen the bones and invigorate the blood, I don't need to drink it, just put it in the water when soaking my feet every day, and it won't hurt much in a few days." Don't worry, although this child has an extra toe, this foot is not very disabled, and it can always be corrected. Just don't forget to soak your feet every day, you must remember, otherwise your feet will rot. ”
Jian Ning nodded, "How long will it take to correct that." ”
"Look at the shape of the feet, just be roughly normal."
After sending Dr. Huang away, Jian Ning's mind became heavy again.
It's really uncomfortable for this little child to suffer like this. I don't know, is there a more intelligent doctor in the hospital? Ancient Chinese osteopathy is still very powerful, maybe there are more powerful people in the hospital?
Anyway, let's see the effect first, and it's time to return to Beijing after Qingming.
After a few days, the eldest sister really stopped crying much, and her appetite gradually improved. After a few more days, when the full moon came, the child was much more energetic and stronger, which made everyone's hearts slowly relaxed.
The full moon ceremony is also a more important birth ceremony, since the child is much better, and Xi'er's mentality has calmed down, it is time to feast on the neighbors.
But even so, Jian Ning still took care of Xiangzhi carefully and covered the child tightly, so as not to make Xi'er sad if the mother-in-law with a broken mouth said something unpleasant.
I heard that the Jian family gave birth to a dragon and phoenix fetus, and everyone wanted to come to say goodbye. It's just that I didn't expect that the girl in the dragon and phoenix womb was very weak, and for the sake of the child, they didn't do the three baptisms. At this time, when they heard that the child was getting stronger and was going to hold a full moon ceremony, everyone was also happy in their hearts, and they came to eat with gifts one after another.
The banquet was lively, and many neighbors also knew that Jian Ning was going to the capital again after Qingming, and this was to be the imperial concubine, and they also sent their blessings.
The harmony between villagers and neighbors in ancient times is far beyond the imagination of modern people, and there are only a few people like Mrs. Qian.
After accepting the blessing of the neighbors, Janine named the two children on the spot. The boy's name is Jian Yao, and the girl's name is Chongjin.
Dyeing silk and weaving into a splendid article is a matter of glory to the ancestors, a brother, a sister, the beautiful meaning is in this name.
And for Chongjin, there is a layer of meaning. Brocade, colorful and gorgeous silk fabrics, I only hope that her heart is also like brocade, bright and colorful, not shrouded by the shadow of disability.
Looking at the little niece who was grinning at her, Jian Ning smiled. The people of the Jian family are not afraid of the trials of fate, they will only fight more and more bravely, Chongjin, you have to come on!
Zhu Hou in the Qianqing Palace was so careful, but he felt that he had no spirit at all. The so-called day is like three autumns, he used to think that this was a fart, but now he feels where is the three autumns? It's simply eight autumns, nine autumns......
It's so hard!
I used to live without her, but after having her, I felt that it was difficult to endure. When this dead Nizi left, she said that she would come back for the New Year, but now it's good, one moment said that she would wait for Xi'er to give birth, and another time she said that she would wait for Xi'er to come out of confinement, which is good, and she said directly that she would come back after Qingming.
She couldn't think about it, but she was bitter for herself.
Sitting on this dragon chair, listening to people talk every day. Ben also wanted to be lazy, but somehow, thinking of her cold face, he didn't dare.
The queen mother is satisfied, the courtiers are satisfied, but he is not satisfied with this heavenly son, and he is really bitter.
Oh, maybe Liu Jin is not satisfied, these days there are always ministers to join him, and there are even people kneeling on both sides of the royal street, accusing Liu Jin of bullying and dominating the market, which is unreasonable.
Alas, why is this Liu Jin so domineering?
Zhu Houzhao remembered that Liu Jin rubbed his brows again. Although he wants to make meritorious contributions, his appearance is too ugly, and this is all his reputation! Well, when the inferior people arrive, it's time to knock him down.
Since he met Jian Ning, his imperial technique has become more and more mature, and now the courtiers have also seen a trace of the unpredictability of heaven in the Son of Heaven, and they can't help but be more careful while being happy, all of them know that this Son of Heaven has grown up, they can't control him, and Liu Jin can't ......
