Volume 2 Childe Chapter 50 A Lucky Day
The turmoil of the rack disappeared after the two parties were punished, and Huanhuaxuan calmed down again, but the news still spread, and the old lady and the wife heard about it, and successively asked Mei Xiang to go over for questioning.
also knew what Mei Xiang said, neither of them dealt with it, but the wife was a little unhappy, feeling that the ring around her baby son was not safe enough, and seemed to plan to cut off a few thorns and pick them from elsewhere. As soon as the news came back, everyone in Huanhuaxuan was in danger, and they immediately felt a lot safer.
The gossip circulating in the house that "the third young master is incompetent and does not hospitalize, and the big and small girls of Huanhuaxuan are fighting" finally reined in a little under the iron fist of his wife, and was quickly replaced by another shocking news, becoming a yellow flower of tomorrow.
The eldest grandmother, Jing, is pregnant, and it has been four months.
It is said that there were signs as early as two months ago, but I was not sure, so I did not report it to the elders in the family. The old lady didn't say anything, and she was inevitably a little dissatisfied in her heart, and now she learned that she was pregnant, and her face was light, so she only asked the eldest girl to send a few packets of medicinal materials to the past, and ordered the daughter-in-law to add the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were waiting for the pregnant woman.
Mrs. An held a smile on her face, and kindly told the titular eldest daughter-in-law many precautions. Jing lowered his head one by one, his face still had an unfading flush, and from time to time he glanced in the direction of the study with slightly uneasy eyes.
Jing's husband, Li Jing, the eldest son of Li Zhang, Marquis of Qingguo, was reporting the incident to his father in his study. Li Zhang was so happy that this was his first grandson. The grandson born to the daughter is a clan, and he is taken care of by someone sent by the palace, but he only stayed in his hand for less than five fingers before he was taken away by the nurse, and the grandson cannot be compared with the grandson. In order to celebrate this event, it was decided to hold a big feast in the house and invite relatives and friends to have a good time.
But when it came to his wife, he hit a soft nail.
An smiled and persuaded him: "How can there be a son-in-law who celebrates as soon as her in-laws have a body?" Although it is a happy event, it is still early, so it is better to wait for the daughter-in-law to give birth, and then put a good wine. Now that she can't work hard to set up a banquet, where can she be idle? For the sake of the child, shouldn't she be tired at this time? "Li Zhang, that's it.
Li has been listening with a smile on his face, his father said that he was going to set up a banquet, but he did not react, and his grandmother persuaded him not to put it, and he was not dissatisfied, and respectfully thanked his mother for teaching his wife.
Hearing this, An Shi smiled and said, "What's there?" Your sons and daughters are my grandchildren. How can there be a reason not to hurt? From today. You have to go home every day to accompany your daughter-in-law to go out on errands, and I will push them all on. The daughter-in-law is also exempted from the morning and dusk provinces. Take care of the baby. Don't mess around. I'll go talk about the old lady. Come to me if you want to eat the land and play with the ground. This is the eldest grandson of our family. It's expensive! ”
Li Jing frowned imperceptibly, and glanced at his father's concubine who was standing by the door. That was his pretentious second brother Li Changdi's biological mother, Aunt Hua. There seemed to be a hint of resentment on his face. His mind fluttered. smiled and saluted An's and said, "I don't know if it's a son or a daughter." His mother spoiled him like this. but it made it difficult for the child to sit still. According to the child's opinion, the children of the third brother are the sons and daughters. It's really expensive, it's really expensive. ”
Ahn smiled: "Come on." You kid is sweet and not afraid of your daughter-in-law's jokes. Then he said to her husband: "I know that Master Hou still has to respect his brother's errands." But the daughter-in-law is the first child, and it is good for him to accompany him more. It's just half a year's work. There is something to errand in a hurry. Let's leave it to the Ping An Office first. ”
Peace is the son of her companion. In the past few years, he has been a little boy by Li Zhang's side. I have also experienced it. I was promoted to steward a few months ago. Li Zhang thought for a moment. He nodded: "That's fine." Ping An is doing things fairly safely now. Let him take care of it for a few months. Ming'er asked him to handle the handover. The latter sentence is to the son.
Li Jing quietly bowed his head and responded, "Yes." Father. ”
As soon as the news of Jing's pregnancy reached Huanhuaxuan. Li You was stunned at first. Then he was slightly happy: "Really? To put it this way...... I'm about to become an uncle? ”
Mei Xiang covered her mouth and smiled: "Yes, the third young master is going to be an uncle, but I don't know if it's a brother or a sister." What should I give? ”
"You just have to make up your mind." Li You waved his hand, then paused, "No...... Once you've made the list, let me look at it. ”
In the end, the congratulatory gift given by the third young master to the eldest young master and his wife did not have the usual tonics, clothes and purses, etc., only two paintings and a piece of jade, the painting was a picture of sending Guanyin to the child and a picture of a baby play, both of which were very auspicious, and the piece of jade was begged for by the old lady when the third young master was a child.
The eldest young grandmother Jing was very grateful, not only rewarded Lu'er, Chun > and villagers who sent things to the past, but also sent her henchman Xiangyu to bring a return gift to accompany Chunying and them back.
There is a large box of embroidery in the return gift, which is specially prepared for the girl of Huanhuaxuan, there are thirty or forty silk handkerchiefs in it, and there are more than a dozen purses, not only the patterns are fresh, but also the pieces are not the same, and they are very exquisite. According to Xiangyu, this is the Jing family specially asked Suzhou embroidery to be done by the daughter, for the daughter to reward the daughter-in-law of the inner house, there are more than ten boxes, large and small, stuffed to the full. Because the Jing family rarely has the opportunity to reward, only these "own people" can get it, and now in addition to their courtyard, there are only people from Huanhuaxuan.
Chunying glanced at the box all the way, only to take a glimpse, only to know that the contents were very beautiful, but she didn't have time to see clearly, she should be able to get a share, right? She knew the embroidery market outside, and in this box, a silk handkerchief or a purse could be worth at least five
, more than her monthly money in a month.
As soon as Xiangyu followed Lu'er and the others to Huanhuaxuan, they went to see the third young master first, but as soon as Xiang'er told the matter, the whole courtyard was a sensation, and when Xiangyu left, the embroidery box came out of the backyard, and half of the things in it were already missing, and the little girls were almost crazy, and there was almost no fight.
Xia He has always been taken care of, so he got a purse early; Shi'er has also been quite popular in the courtyard recently, and it didn't take much effort to pick a silk handkerchief with bamboo and red plum; Chunying looked left and right, hesitated for a moment and didn't go up to grab it. The group were like wolves, and she couldn't do anything for a handkerchief or a purse......
Someone patted her lightly on the back, and Chun Ying looked back and saw that it was Mei Xiang: "You come with me." She quietly walked along the corridor to the backyard, Chun Ying hurriedly followed, Shi'er glanced at it curiously, and continued to watch the excitement with Xia He.
Chunying followed Mei Xiang all the way to the front of the main house in the backyard, and saw that there was no one else around, and she had some doubts in her heart. Mei Xiang turned around and called her: "Let's go, don't worry that the things ahead have already left you a copy, so you don't need to rob them." ”
"Huh?" Spring > was a little surprised, "Really? Thank you, Sister Meixiang! ”
"Thank me for what? This was ordered by the third young master. Mei Xiang smiled, "You come with me, the third young master has something to look for you." ”
Chun > was surprised: "Third Young Master? What's the matter with him looking for me? "She hasn't caused trouble or quarreled lately, has she? didn't make clothes and shoes for the third young master, and even the kitchen work was just a handiwork, and there was no dish that made the ancients "amazing".
"You'll know when you go, follow me."
Chun had no choice but to follow her into the house, the third young master was still sitting behind the big case, but he was not reading the book in the painting, and when he saw them come in, he smiled: "Sit down, there are happy events and lively events today, and I will talk to you when I am interested." ”
Chunying saluted and reflexively wanted to sit on the chair next to her, but after seeing Mei Xiang sitting on the footrest in front of the chair, she immediately stopped her foot and sat on the other footstep like her.
Li You put down the book, lowered his head and thought about it before saying, "My Aunt Li said that you are doing a good job in the small kitchen, so you don't need to do the work of sprinkling and sweeping anymore, and you can be a helper for Aunt Li full-time." Manru ...... I still have to do the needlework in my house, so I will share more if I can't be busy. ”
Chunying had already heard Mei Xiang say the rules, and when she heard the words, she got up and blessed her, and was secretly happy in her heart: "You don't have to mop the floor, it's great!" "And the small kitchen is warmer, close to the water, and it is very convenient to eat snacks and drink soup. These days, she has flattered Aunt Li a lot, and she got a lot of good dishes and snacks that the third young master didn't want, and went back to the room to share with Shi'er Xia He.
Seeing her happy, Li You also smiled: "I see that you are a diligent person, you are honest, and you also know the rules, turn around and ask Mei Xiang to take you around, recognize the road, and recognize the people." The good soup often made in this small kitchen in our yard, I have the heart to let the old lady and his wife taste it, as well as the eldest sister-in-law and the two younger sisters, and I can't be lazy, maybe I will call you there. When you have leisure, you will go to the door more, just pay attention to proportion, don't spread the words from our courtyard to the outside, and don't bring in the gossip from outside, you know? ”
Chunying hurriedly agreed, and her heart was even more excited. This time, I have the opportunity to see Qiuyu, and I can walk around openly. She knows the habit in this house, the master wants the maid to send things elsewhere, and often does not limit the time too tightly, and the little girls like to use this as an excuse to play outside. She has been in the house for so long, and she has always been confined by work, so she has not had much of an easy time, and now she can finally get rid of it.
Li You told her a few more words, and then let her come out, Mei Xiang came out a little later than her, and pulled her into her room, and took out a silk handkerchief and a purse: "This is what I left for you, do you like this trick?" ”
Chun Ying saw that the pattern of spring flowers was on the napa, and the purse was overjoyed, all of which were very delicate, and there were silver threads embedded in them, so she happily took it and thanked her.
Mei Xiang smiled and took out another purse: "This is a new pattern I wanted, but I didn't embroider it, and I know what is the use of keeping it, if you don't dislike it, just take it and play with it." ”
Chun Ying saw that in the pen ingot pattern above, the lines of the pen were a little crooked, this purse was wasted, but the materials were very particular, and she happily accepted it, pinched it with her hand, but felt that it was heavy inside, it seemed to be a silver bill, and she quietly turned over her hand to see, and sure enough, there were two.
She looked at Mei Xiang in confusion, and the latter still said with a smile: "This is what the third young master meant, he said that the almond dew made by Aunt Li was delicious, and I heard that you thought about it, so I had the heart to reward you, but I was afraid that others would say that he was a child who loves sweet things, so I asked me to quietly stuff it into your hand, don't tell anyone." ”
Chunying knew that Aunt Li had received a reward for this matter, so she also believed it, accepted it happily, and then left with a full hug.
Along the way, she was still thinking, what luck did she go today? How can there be so many good things? The reward given by the eldest and youngest grandmothers also has a tael of silver, so it counts...... If she exchanged all the silk and silver bills for money, she would have saved enough money for her redemption! That's great! She has to think of a few more dishes and exchange them for a few more rewards, maybe when she goes out, the whole family will be able to save enough!
At the same time, Mei Xiang returned to the third young master's room and nodded to him: "It's already for her." ”
The third young master smiled: "Very good, then Ming'er will ask her to deliver things, and you will also let her go out a few times in private, so that everyone can get used to it first......"
