Chapter 200: Washing the Girl
Although Li Jingyi took the initiative to come and see the new house, Qin Liniang was still a little worried that she would touch the scene, looking at Li Jingyi, who had been silent, and said with a smile, "Zhen Niang and Brother Luo have been married since childhood, these things have been saved by the in-laws' wives for many years, and it is also a shame that our Qin family can still vacate a yard,"
In fact, according to Qin Liniang's meaning, it is better to live in the three rooms directly, not because there is anything wrong with the brothers of the three houses, but the place is too small to turn around, just like Qin Luo's courtyard, even their Wang family's decent servants are not as good, and it is also thanks to the fact that the Jiang family is their own people who know the roots, so they don't care too much.
"It's not easy to live in the capital," Li Jingyi smiled at the sour branch wood furniture in the room, as well as the shelf bed inside, "I have long heard that Zhen Niang has a good hand of needlework, looking at the embroidery, it looks like it is on top." ”
Qin Liniang is also very satisfied with this brother and daughter-in-law, not to mention the knowledge, the needlework is also excellent, but this shelf bed, such a good wood and work, if the place is not too small, how can you have to work a thousand workers to pull out the bed.
Qin Weiniang, Qin Luo's new house, has been here, Qin Weiniang led Li Jingyi and Qin Liniang to walk through the courtyard, and a few people sat at the stone table outside, Li Jingyi said, "I looked at the third aunt's aura just now, what happened to Qianniang?" Is it because you are not feeling well? ”
Qin Liniang also endured all the way, she had long wanted to tell Li Jingyi about her cousin, but now she finally waited for Li Jingyi to ask her, and said, "Alas, I am also responsible for this matter," she glanced at the three younger sisters who automatically retreated, "You also come and sit, Qianniang is your sister, it's good to know some things." ”
"Jing Niang, have you ever heard of 'Nine Generations of Washing Girls'?"
What is it? Li Jingyi was a little confused, and she didn't even understand which four words they were, "I really haven't heard of it, does this have anything to do with my cousin?" ”
Not only her, but the other three Qin family girls sitting next to Qin Liniang also looked at each other, Qin Weiniang carefully recalled the books she had read, and was stunned to find out where there was such a statement, Qin Rongniang couldn't hold her breath, "How to wash it?" Only wash daughters? Is it to bathe your daughter? ”
"If only I took a shower!"
Qin Qianniang's marriage to Wang Hongju, the eldest son of Zuo Tongzheng Wang Wenqing, the two families are also a good match, less than a year after the marriage, there was good news, the two families are full of joy, just waiting for the grandson, if Li Jingyi is not mistaken, Qin Qianniang should have been five months pregnant, "Sister said it clearly." ”
"I also married into the Wang family, and then followed to Jiangxi to take office, only to hear this statement, my father-in-law said that this is a bad habit and vulgarity, as soon as he arrived, he explicitly forbade it, fortunately there are not many people who believe in this statement, but I never thought ......"
Qin Liniang said a lot, but everyone still didn't understand, Qin Rongniang pushed the eldest sister, "What the hell is it, I don't understand!" What does this have to do with the second sister? ”
It turns out that there is a saying in Jiangxi, if the feng shui of which family is not good, it is necessary to wash the woman, that is, the first daughter of each generation of the family can not let her live, called "washing the girl", if you don't do this, this daughter will "wash the woman's hair and men's family", and the future will prosper the husband's family, and break the luck of the mother's family, as for how many generations to wash, it is all up to the feng shui Mr. at that time.
"This is just nonsense! Which villain made the rules? After listening to Qin Liniang's explanation, Qin Rongniang was completely angry, "It's too bastard!" ”
"Does this Wang family have a daughter?" Li Jingyi had already thought of what might happen to Qin Qianniang.
Qin Liniang shook her head, "The Wang family has a daughter,"
"Qian Niang is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Wang family, generally this kind of thing, the family must be very tight, this is also the mother next to her overheard the old man in the family muttering, she only knew," Qin Liniang sighed, "Qian Niang ate her heart, quietly inquired, only to know that her mother-in-law also gave birth to a daughter, somehow, she was born and did not live there,"
"Qian Niang is even more scared, knowing that I am in Jiangxi, so I asked someone to send me a letter, the Wang family is a big family over there, and they also complain about me," Qin Liniang didn't know whether to regret it or rejoice, "I inquired like this, there is really such a thing, and then your brother-in-law also said that in that place, the birth of a child is Jia, and the birth of a daughter is not Jia, this is not Qianniang is afraid, a few days ago, the imperial doctor in the palace and the midwife next to her said that she was pregnant with a female fetus......"
If it is a daughter, then as the eldest daughter in this life, the fate of the future can be imagined, even if it is a son, but what about the next child?
Li Jingyi shuddered, "What did the third uncle say to his aunt?" ”
When it came to her third uncle, Qin Liniang's face turned blue, but it was just in the way of whether Qin Weiding was an elder or Qin Rongniang's father, "The third uncle said that he didn't believe that there was such a thing in the world, and said that it was my hearsay, so he used it to slander the Wang family, and said that there was such a thing, since Qian Niang married into the Wang family, life and death are people of the Wang family, so naturally she must follow the rules of the Wang family!" ”
"Impossible, that's my sister, and her child also has the blood of our Qin family!" Qin Rongniang couldn't hold back her tears, the two cousins may not know where they live, but she had heard her parents quarrel, and she also knew that her mother had gone to Wang's house several times and wanted to take her sister back to live for a few days, "What can I do, can we bring my sister back?" ”
Li Jingyi nodded, "Whether there is such a thing or not, Qianniang's baby must be saved, it's really not good, it's a way to go back after giving birth!" ”
"However, the Wang family didn't let people go, I went to see my mother once, and the Wang family said that Qianniang had a fetal gas and was recuperating in her yard, and it was not suitable to see people, "They didn't even see anyone!"
No one was allowed to see her, Li Jingyi nodded, "I know, let's be busy with Brother Luo's family affairs today, and after a few days, I will ask a doctor, let's go to Wang's house to see my cousin together, how can I say that this is also my cousin's first child, and my mother's family should pay more attention to it." ”
"I'll go too," Qin Rongniang said loudly, "I must see my sister!" ”
"You went with a girl's family, what do you really have to take care of," Qin Rongniang is only thirteen, and she hasn't decided to marry yet, Li Jingyi took a handkerchief and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "The wife of the Wang family is here too, right?" Let's settle this matter, and we must not show our whereabouts in front of Mrs. Wang,"
"Yes, cousin, don't worry," Qin Weiniang was frightened by everything she had just heard, although her daughter could not continue the incense, but it was also the blood of her parents, for the family, a well-bred daughter married into the right family, and the in-laws helped each other, it was also a matter of due diligence, that is, they were also educated like this since childhood, but for the sake of the family's feng shui, they had to kill the first daughter who was born, but they had never heard of such a thing!
"Okay, cousin is rare to come back this time, stay longer, and when you recognize your relatives in a few days, you take your brother and sister to the eldest princess's mansion with your cousin, my mother will be happy when she sees you," I have a fixed opinion in my heart, and Li Jingyi will no longer be entangled in this matter.
This is Li Jingyi is going to help her sister come out, Qin Liniang's heart is completely determined, with his Wang family's Ma family, with Li Jingyirui and the county lord's signboard, my sister's baby will definitely be saved.
happily came over to the banquet, but I didn't expect to hear such a bad thing, Li Jingyi was also a little unhappy, especially the attitude of the third uncle Qin Weiding, which was even more chilling, it turned out that when he accused himself, Li Jingyi only thought that he was reading books and didn't care about him, and now in the face of his own daughter, Qin Weiding's attitude is too cold.
Therefore, after Qin Luo welcomed Jiang Zhenniang back, she didn't stay any longer, so she took her good father-in-law out of the Qin Mansion and returned to the eldest princess's mansion, and couldn't help but tell the eldest princess Jinyang about Qin Qianniang's situation.
Rao is the eldest princess of Jinyang has lived to be forty years old, and she has never heard of such cruel things in the world, so she stroked her chest and said, "This is really, this, this Wang family still has the face to live in the world?" ”
Li Jingyi stretched out her hand and wrapped her hand around the waist of the eldest princess of Jinyang, "The father and mother only have one daughter, and they are still spoiled, the daughter didn't think anything before, but now that I think about it, compared with those drowned baby girls, I don't know how lucky I am?!" ”
"Bah, what nonsense? You were born in October when your mother was pregnant, who dares to dislike you? "If the eldest princess of Jinyang really has the consciousness of inheriting the Li family, she would not rather Li Yuanshan take a concubine and have children, and she will stay away from Li Yuanshan for a long time, "Alas, didn't you say that day that we should do some good deeds to accumulate the next life?" In this way, let's build a good hall and adopt baby girls, if those ruthless fathers and mothers really dislike it, just send it to the good hall, "It's better than drowning casually if it's discarded."
"Mother Shengming," Li Jingyi hadn't thought of this yet, "Okay, my daughter will choose a place from the house under her name to make a good hall, how much can our mother and daughter spend?" Draw two more Zhuangzi out of the business, our house has few people, so we will pick a few mothers from the Li family's children to take care of it,"
Li Jingyi felt that her mother's idea was very good, "Let's not just save their lives, but also teach them some skills to settle down, in this world, women are too difficult!" ”
These are all trivial things for the eldest princess of Jinyang, she prefers to see her daughter's energetic appearance, "Okay, it's all up to you," it is just a waste of money, not to mention that such a good deed can also help her daughter wash away her previous notoriety.
Li Jingyi didn't have so many distractions, she just had some understanding from her own experience Qin Qianniang's experience and Lingxin's choice, some of her little kindness today, maybe she would be able to save many poor girls tomorrow, so when she returned to Chonghua Courtyard, she told Lingxin and Mama An about her plans, and asked Lingxin to move out of her dowry book and choose a suitable house from it.
