On the third day of the third month of March, the first day of the three-day banquet in the Shengfu Mansion.

Today is the three baptisms of Sheng Lecheng, and according to custom, only close relatives are invited.

The Sheng family was originally from Kyoto, but from the generation of Sheng Changhou's great-grandfather, they all moved out of Kyoto and settled in Huizhou.

The closeness of the family, except for the two brothers of Shengchanghou, are all in Huizhou.

There are also some clan brothers in Kyoto, all of whom have three suits. Because the Marquis of Sheng Chang is arrogant, he doesn't like these brothers and relatives because he is rich and noble.

At first, there were still people who kissed, but they were coldly rejected by Sheng Changhou, and then gradually did not dare to come again.

The rest of the intimacy is the Xianhou Mansion in Dongyi's maiden town.

Mrs. Sheng went out for half a pillar of incense, and a little maid came in to tell her that Mrs. was supporting the old lady of the Xue family and was about to arrive at the gate of Jingshi Courtyard.

The second grandmother, Ge Shi, hurriedly took Miss Qin Yi, Luo's mother, Rose, and Tang Hong out to greet her.

The nurse hugged Sheng Lecheng and sat on the kang on the side, and Dongyu stretched her neck slightly.

After a while, Dong Jima heard the laughter of the eldest aunt Rong: "...... Along the way, we all crossed five pools. Tell me, how rich is this house? Our house is tightly covered, and you are so spacious and beautiful that I don't want to go back! ”

And they laughed.

Mrs. Sheng smiled, "You stay longer." ”

Mrs. Rong said: "Where is it? What about our family, if I am lazy, who will take care of things? The old ancestor still spared me? ”

The crowd laughed.

The old lady took advantage of the situation and smiled at Mrs. Sheng: "I am a wicked mother-in-law!" ”

There was another burst of laughter.

Dong Yu heard it in the inner room, and couldn't help but laugh.

Sheng Xiuyi looked at Dongyi. He smiled slightly.

The felt curtain was lifted, and the people entered the inner room.

Mrs. Xue, who was wearing a peacock blue five-blessing silk gown, wore a green feather and blue treasure bead on her head, and a folded branch begonia inlaid with rice beads to cover her eyebrows, and a kind smile was supported by Mrs. Sheng and Mrs. Rong of the Xue family.

Dong Yu hurriedly called out to her grandmother.

The maids of the house saluted the people.

Sheng Xiuyi also saluted everyone in the Xue family. After the salute, he withdrew. The child washes the three dynasties and does not need the presence of the father. Besides, he was going to the outer courtyard to entertain guests.

After Sheng Xiuyi left, Old Madam Xue stepped forward and took Dong Yu's hand. smiled and said: "Fatter!" It can be seen that the in-laws are really good to Sister Yu! Sister Yu married into the Sheng family, and I, an old woman, can rest assured! ”

Mrs. Sheng smiled: "Sister Yu is worthy of love, she is well raised by the ancestral religion!" ”

Dong Ying was embarrassed to laugh.

The old lady took her hand. Only then did he look back and ask her: "Be obedient in confinement, lie down well......" and then explained a lot of things that should be paid attention to in confinement.

Dong Ying nodded and responded.

Mrs. Rong, the son of the Xue family, deliberately said to Mrs. Sheng: "Mrs. in-laws look at the ancestor, for fear that her granddaughter will be wronged!" The in-laws quickly make a guarantee that they will not wronged her granddaughter, so that the nagging of the ancestors can stop! ”

The crowd laughed again.

The old lady couldn't laugh either, and said to Mrs. Sheng: "My daughter-in-law, I talk all day long, and my mother-in-law has to make up a few words!" Mrs. In-law, it's not easy for me to be an old woman! ”

Mrs. Sheng smiled: "It's all the love of the ancestors, and the eldest aunt will be like this!" ”

"Not really. It's all your favorites! Mrs. Shizi also laughed and trembled.

Everyone in the room laughed.

Dong Yu saw the third lady Jiang, the fourth lady Shen, the fifth lady Yang, the eldest grandmother Hang, and the twelfth girl Xue Donglin in the crowd.

Only the second lady Feng was missing.

Dong Yu was thinking about the Xiao family again, and she couldn't tell how sad the second lady would be.

Laughing with each other, Sheng Lecheng had already woken up, probably startled by the laughter, and cried. It startled everyone.

The room immediately fell silent.

The nurse held him and busily breastfed him.

With the nurse's milk in his mouth, he immediately stopped crying.

The old lady and Mrs. Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.

No one in the room dared to speak anymore.

When the child stopped after feeding, Mrs. Sheng asked her to take the child to the old lady to see.

Old Madam Xue took it and held it in her arms, and the child was looking at her with wet eyes. The dark eyes seemed to be able to see people's hearts, and Old Madam Xue only felt full of pity, and she couldn't like it.

She looked at the child and whispered to Mrs. Sheng, "This child is like Tianhe!" ”

Dong Yu pouted.

Mrs. Sheng became more and more happy, and said, "The ancestor has good eyesight! We all say it's like his daddy. Then he told the old lady the child's name, "Master Hou took it, it's called Sheng Lecheng!" ”

So everyone Brother Cheng and Brother Cheng called out like this.

Mrs. Shizi was afraid that the old lady would be tired, so she stepped forward and hugged her, and said with a smile: "The old ancestor rewarded me for a look." ”

The old lady gave the child to her.

Mrs. Shizi hugged her, everyone in the Xue family came up to take a look, and Dongyu's stepmother Yang and Xue Donglin also took a look, and said some auspicious words one after another, praising the child for his good looks and good face.

After about half a pillar of incense, the two aunts of the second and third rooms of the Sheng family also came with their daughters-in-law.

When the auspicious time came, Wen Po, who delivered the baby for Dongyi, began to baptize the child three times.

First incense, Wen Po worshiped the Lantern Festival Niangniang and other Niangniang, the maids put the copper basin containing Pu Ai water on the kang in the east room, and Wen Po took the child from the nurse's hand.

In addition to the water of the puai in the copper basin, a gold brick was also placed. This is to wait for the child to wash the child at three o'clock, which is called "sitting on the brick".

This is not the rule in Kyoto, so Mrs. Seko asked Mrs. Sheng what she meant.

"In Huizhou, bricks and officials are the same way to read the law." Mrs. Sheng smiled, "Sitting on a brick is just an auspicious thing, and the child will be an official in the future!" ”

Everyone suddenly realized that in Huizhou dialect, sitting on bricks and being an official are the same sound.

Except for this, the other rules are similar to Shengjing's rules.

Wen Po held the child, and the little maid who was waiting on the side held the copper basin and held it in front of all the close relatives, so that everyone could add a basin.

first held it in front of Old Madam Xue. The old lady added a pair of gold bracelets for children, red and golden, at least eight points, and Wen Po couldn't help but smile on her face.

These things are all for Wen Po when you turn around.

The old lady added it first, and Mrs. Sheng added it.

She put aside an eight-cent gold bead and an eight-cent silver bead. and two eight-cent silver bills. Just to not cross the etiquette of Old Madam Xue.

The people of the Xue family were slightly stunned. In Kyoto, no matter what you give, you don't add four things. Fourth, this number is unlucky.

Mrs. Sheng saw everyone's eyes. smiled and said: "Brother Cheng is our descendant of Huizhou, I still want to follow the rules of my hometown." Our hometown adds four to every happy event, meaning that the four seasons are safe and wishful. ”

Everyone laughed. said that it should follow the rules of his hometown.

Mrs. Shizi raised her eyebrows and put a golden lock, the same yellow cancan, at least one or two.

The smile on Wen Po's face grew thicker and thicker.

Then there was Dongyu's stepmother, Yang, who also added a golden lock, although smaller than Mrs. Shizi, also weighed seven or eight points.

The people in the back are not good at crossing grandma's courtesy, and they are all added one by one.

Wen Po stirred the water of the copper basin with a mallet, and said auspicious words, and put the child in the water. Let him sit on the gold bricks.

When a child touches cold water, he should cry and cry, which is called a ringing basin.

Sheng Lecheng opened his eyes very innocently and let Wen Po wash it for him.

Xue Donglin chuckled and whispered to the fifth lady Yang: "This kid is stupid. I don't know how to cry! ”

In the three days since Sheng Lecheng was born, he would only cry a few times when he was hungry, and he stopped crying immediately after feeding.

The fifth lady also chuckled.

Mrs. Shizi was right in front of their mother and daughter, and she suddenly looked back at them, and although her expression was not stern, she did not smile.

Xue Donglin turned his face away. The fifth lady just didn't see it, and Mrs. Shizi was very helpless and turned around.

Wen Po was washing Sheng Lecheng while reciting auspicious words. When she chanted, "Wash the ditch and be a Zhizhou", Sheng Lecheng grinned and showed a silent smile.

He had just been born, and this was the first time he had seen him. The smile was short-lived and passed quickly. His hand waved weakly, wanting to slap the water and play.

He seems to be very fond of water.

Mrs. Sheng was so happy that she chanted the Buddha in a low voice.

Old Madam Xue was not as optimistic as Madam Sheng. She felt that this child didn't like to cry, maybe he wasn't smart enough, and it wasn't a good thing. Children who love to cry since childhood will be smart and clever when they grow up; I don't like to cry when I am young, but I am more than loyal and not smart.

In the end, when Wen Po said their own auspicious words, the child's washing of the three dynasties was completed.

Carrying him out of the water, he pouted and cried.

But it made everyone laugh.

While Wen Po was helping him change his clothes, he cried so much that his face was full of tears, and Mrs. Sheng was distressed. After dressing up, Mrs. Sheng hugged her and hurriedly asked the nurse to breastfeed, so Sheng Lecheng didn't cry.

Mrs. Sheng smiled and said to the Xue family: "Our Huizhou is a water town, and this child is born to be a descendant of Huizhou!" Our Hou Ye used to be in his hometown, and he was a good hand at water! ”

And they laughed with them.

Dongyu heard the child's last cry in the room, and her heart rose.

The nurse fed the milk, and the child stopped crying, so she was a little relieved.

The maid in front of her came and said that she had set up a stage and invited all the ladies and grandmothers to listen to the play.

Mrs. Sheng invited everyone from the Xue family, the concubines of the second and third rooms, and her nephews and daughters-in-law to listen to the play.

The commotion in the room suddenly fell silent.

Luo's mother and Rose entered the inner room and told Dongyu everything that had happened during the three baptisms. Speaking of Sheng Lecheng crying when he left the water, Dong Ying couldn't cry or laugh: "Such a young child, like water? ”

Luo's mother also smiled: "It's not!" Mrs. was happy, and said that her hometown is from Huizhou, which is a water town, and the third young master was born a descendant of Huizhou! He also said that Master Hou also likes water, and the third young master is like a grandfather! ”

Dong Ying couldn't help but laugh, her mother-in-law would really contact indiscriminately.

As she spoke, Dong Ying was a little sleepy.

She woke up after sleeping for a while, and Luo's mother was still with her.

Rose came in and said, "Grandma, are you awake?" Sister Bao Scarf next to the old lady is here, let you wake up and tell me, she went back to the old lady. The old lady wants to talk to you. ”

Dongyu Road is good.

Rose went out and told the scarf that Dong Ying had woken up. To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation.
