Seeing that his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were about to get on the bar again, Zhao Chengcai hurriedly thought about it, he was really a little afraid that his mother would take his daughter away as soon as she was furious, so he asked the child back first, and put Zhang Qingting beside him, "Let Xiniu sleep on it, Ming'er is the child's dynasty, but you have to do it well and there is a full moon wine, that you have to work hard no matter what, these many things are not eyebrow-raising, just leave these little things to me, you can rest assured, just these two days, you must let your daughter-in-law milk, okay?" ”

He turned around and glanced at his daughter-in-law, and even coaxed and dragged Zhao Wang's family away, and finally let Zhang Qingting escape.

Soon, Xiaoyu came up, she brought a bowl of fish soup and a few small snacks that Zhang Qingting usually likes to eat, "This is made by Sister Yulan, only Aunt Zhao brought her first, we can't send it." Eat it quickly, Sister Yulan here said that it was a medicinal diet, and it was very milky."

Zhang Qingting was satisfied, "Be clever in the future, if your mother-in-law gets something in the kitchen, you can take the time to go over and adjust the taste, and then coax her to be done."

Xiaoyu responded with a smile. That night, Zhang Qingting himself sent out milk, so Zhao Wang's family had nothing to say, and it was important to continue to do her "business".

The next day, Zhao Chengcai held a grand "washing" celebration for his daughter, and specially invited the virtuous and virtuous auspicious grandmother to come, and walked through the full set of procedures.

Because it was the granddaughter's big day, Zhang Facai also rushed back from Yonghe Town, only the business over there was opened, Zhang Xiaodie really couldn't leave, so she could only buy it and bring it to her little niece, saying that she was free to go back, and let someone be sent to replace her, and she would also come back to see the little girl.

Because the children of the court could not go out, they only invited some relatives and friends, and there were not many people, so they only set up a few tables of banquets at home. After Zhao Chengcai had a luncheon with everyone, the ceremony began. Zhang Qingting also experienced the customs of their side for the first time, and he watched it with relish.

Their master bedroom, that is, the outer hall of the delivery room, is set up on the front of the incense case, dedicated to Bixia Yuanjun, Qiongxiao Niangniang and other ten gods. The incense burner contains millet, which is used as incense ash for incense. A pair of small red wax of mutton fat used in the sacrifice is inserted on the wax drill, and the yellow money, ingots and other godly money and food are pressed below. On the bedside of Zhang Qingting's bedroom, there are kang men and kang mothers, all of whom use bowls of osmanthus cakes as offerings.

After offering incense and bowing, Zhao Wang led people to put copper basins and other uses on the long table with red felt next to the bed. At this time, Grandma Jixiang hugged the baby, and the prelude to "washing" began.

Because today also invited the patriarch Zhao to come, he took the lead, according to the respect and humility of the elders and children to add a small spoonful of water to the basin, and then put some copper coins, longan, red dates, peanuts and other happy fruits, auspicious grandma with the people to add something, then said some fixed greetings, called "add a pot", in order to rejoice.

After "adding a basin", Grandma Jixiang picked up the mallet and stirred it into the basin, reciting the words, "One stir two stir and stir, my sister leads my younger brother" and then put the little girl who was stripped naked into the water, and the little girl was soaked in cold water, and suddenly cried, and Zhang Qingting was distressed. But this is called "ringing basin", which means auspicious and cannot be interrupted.

While washing, the auspicious grandmother chanted the greetings, and rolled the beautiful and beautiful eggs on the little girl's face, beat the smart and clever onions, picked up the scales and locks, and made their own gestures, which was nothing more than wishing to act steadily and cautiously in the future. Finally, the embroidery needle soaked in sesame oil pierced the girl's left and right ears and eyes, and it was done

Zhang Qingting breathed a long sigh of relief, and hurriedly hugged Xiao Ni back into his arms to comfort her. Zhao Chengcai invited everyone to go out to eat and wash their faces, and some close female relatives stayed in the room to help clean up.

was in a hurry, and a girl in red came forward with a smile, "Cousin, I'll help Xiniu change her clothes so as not to catch a cold, that's not fun."

Zhang Qingting was thinking about this, she was still lying on the bed, inconvenient to move, and smiled gratefully, "Then it will trouble you."

"You're welcome," the girl smiled and sat on the edge of the bed, taking out a small pink belly pocket from her arms, "I embroidered it myself, can I put it on for Xiniu?" ”

Zhang Qingting's heart moved, this girl was prepared, she seems to be someone from the Zhao patriarch's family, why is she so attentive? Could it be that he was ordered by the patriarch to ask for something? She didn't break it, she still smiled, "Of course you can"

The little girl smiled shallowly, very sweet and beautiful, while dressing Xiniu in small clothes with quick movements, and introducing herself generously, "My name is Jiang, and my cousin and aunt just call me Qiaoyan." Cousin, you are really blessed, you married your cousin, but I don't know how many people you have."

Zhang Qingting smiled silently, but he was very disdainful in his heart, what is there to envy? Who knows the troubles I and the poor show have endured before? Even if it's a blessing, it's my own hard work, you can see it, but don't think about it

Jiang Qiaoyan saw that she didn't answer, thinking that she was a good fart, so she changed her words and started talking, "Only now that my cousin and uncle have been lifted, he will definitely be busier in the future, and this family must have a few people to help him, right?" ”

What does this mean? Could it be that Patriarch Zhao wants to stuff someone in our house? Zhang Qingting was alarmed in his heart, and he promised humbly, "Isn't it?" You see that the family is in such a mess that I can't move now, if there is anything inconsiderate, please bear with my relatives, fortunately, these are my own relatives, but when the full moon is not sure what will be the mess, we have to ask the patriarch to take care of it for us."

Jiang Qiaoyan heard that there was a door in the words, and hurriedly accepted the words, "That's natural, if my cousin doesn't dislike it, Yan'er will also come to make you a little girl who brings tea and water when she arrives?" ”

This is not something that can be said, if she brings tea and water to Zhang Qingting, what kind of identity is it? Zhang Qingting didn't seem to hear the slightest sound, and responded, "Okay, but I just see that Qiaoyan is so smart and clever, you must have read the book and have knowledge, and it just so happens that you have to invite some distinguished guests that day, but you have to bother Zhang Luo."

Jiang Qiaoyan was overjoyed, as if she was not at ease, and asked again, "Then I want to pick up people and things at my cousin's house, and I ask my cousin not to dislike it when I come another day."

"How so?" Zhang Qingting smiled gently, but in his heart, he slandered, is my family a hall, and I will give you people and things? Who did you think of yourself? There is a problem, there is definitely a problem

When the busy work was over, the guests were all sent away, Zhang Qingting was thinking about interrogating Zhao Chengcai, but as soon as he walked in, he discussed another serious matter with his daughter-in-law, "Since I am successful, I must go to the Luming banquet in the county." I have to pay a visit to the same year, thank the teacher, etc., I'm afraid I'm going to have to make trouble for a few days, so I can only come back earlier, and I can't be there in the full moon wine of the happy girl. Now there are some chores, I have handed them over to my mother to get, but you also know that my mother's nature, always afraid of spending money, if you can save it, I am afraid that in the end, we will spend money, and we may not be able to do it as expected. You're doing the moon now, and you shouldn't have to worry about reasoning, but I can't get out, and I'll do some things that I can do first, but you still have to worry about some big things."

Zhang Qingting knew in his heart that Zhao Chengcai was promoted and added a daughter, and the villagers really came a lot. Although it is mostly a thin gift, the etiquette is light and affectionate, especially Zhao Chengcai's middle move, which is a piece that has not been encountered in ten miles and eight towns for many years, so this daughter's full moon wine not only has to be done, but also has to be done not to show off, but mainly to give the villagers a lively, so that everyone can be happy and honored.

Zhao Chengcai means that at the entrance of their alley, set up a stage, set up a day's flowing water seat, and be lively and lively. But behind this scenery, financial support is needed.

Zhang Qingting already had a plan, "You don't have to worry about money, I have already agreed with Mingzhu......"

"No need," Zhao Chengcai smiled and took a burden from outside, "Do you see if these are enough?" ”

Zhang Qingting opened it and was taken aback, there was a snow-white silver ingot, as much as five or six taels, "Where did you get so much money?" ”

Zhao Chengcai was very emotional, "Mother, I really understand the intention of what you said when you asked me to be motivated. You see, I just won a lift, only went to a few banquets, and actually received so many gifts, you look at the posts above, many people I haven't even heard of, so I rushed to give gifts, and the weight of the shot is not light, especially this, you look at this title deed, there are actually people who gave me two acres of land, this is a show of talent in the past, it is really two heavens, if you win the jinshi, it is even more powerful"

Zhang Qingting squinted at him and smiled, "Now you know mine, okay?" ”

"I knew about this for a long time, but I didn't expect it to have so many benefits. What about this money, it's a windfall anyway, so I thought I'd spend it this time by putting wine for Niu'er. I know that the pearl Jinbao in the racecourse can't be drawn, and Ah Li went to help the soul surnamed Sun again, so Tuohong came to help you take care of the outside affairs. He's the best at eating, drinking, and having fun, and he's not an outsider, so you can talk to him about it."

"Hung didn't hit this time, is his father angry?"

"What's there to be angry about, his father doesn't know him? However, his family agreed to his and Fluttershy's family affairs, but now at this time, they are afraid that they will suddenly bring it up, as if their family is rushing to talk to us, and they are embarrassed to come to the door to mention it. If you want to do it, let's wait until next year."

Zhang Qingting nodded, "Then let's wait for that meeting, at that time, things in the shop will also be closed, and Dad and Fluttershy can also come back to rest, and the family will be there at that time, so it will be convenient to make a decision." ”

Zhao Chengcai responded with a smile, and said something important, "When I come back, let's do the separation of the family."
