In addition to painting, Tongying's recent hobby has been added to doing carpentry work. Collection ~ top * point * book city book friends whole ~ Li Ti ~ for the fact that he originally only learned some carving skills in Beijing, but because he wanted to make a yo-car for the soon-to-be-born child, he specially found an old carpenter to learn some fur yo-car, although it is not exquisite, but it is very strong. At the end, he also polished the surface clean with his own hands, and painted many patterns such as dragons and phoenixes and flowers and plants with red paint on his head, and wrote the words "long life and more than 100 years old, rich and rich".

Shuning watched him tinkering with the car under the porch and couldn't help laughing: "Drawing so many things on it, aren't you afraid that the child will be dazzled?" If you have this skill, why don't you draw some literate drawings and let your children learn in the future? Tong Ying became interested, so she asked what a literate painting was, and Shuning explained it to him. In fact, it is just an ancient version of the card that modern children can read and write.

Tong Ying remembered one thing, threw down the work in his hand, ran back to the palace, and after a long time, he brought someone back a big wooden box and said: "You reminded me, in fact, I did this kind of thing when I was a child." ”

When I opened the wooden box, there was a scroll of drawings inside, and there was a lock on the top of the box. Shuning took it and looked at it, but was picked up by Tongying and put it back, and said embarrassedly: "It was the graffiti I was a child from, it's ugly, don't look at this." He picked up a thick stack of paper and drew tigers, cats, dogs, deer, cows, horses, chickens, carriages, houses, etc., and wrote Chinese characters and Manchu characters next to it. The calligraphy and handwriting are a little immature, but I can't tell what is used to paint the ground.

He laughed, "This is what I used to do to coax my younger brother." It's a pity that no one bought it and took it for nothing. Now that I look good, why don't I draw more and give it to our children in the future? Shuning nodded, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it, and it turned out that Tongying's paintings and handwriting when she was a child were like this.

I was turning over but I felt some pain in my stomach. At first she thought it was just an accident, but as the pain returned, she knew something was wrong, and it seemed like she was about to give birth.

Tong Ying was taken aback: "How can it be...... It's not yet November, doesn't it mean there's another month? ”

Shu quietly waited for the pain to pass, and said, "It's normal to be born in nine months, you don't have to worry about it, it's okay. So as not to be confined in the coldest time...... "Although it is also cold in confinement now."

Tongying was a little at a loss, and hurriedly found her second sister-in-law, but she didn't know what to do. The second sister-in-law immediately instructed the two grandmothers to stay with Shuning. The maids went to boil water and prepare scissors, and she took the Lu family to decorate the East Chamber, and explained before leaving: "Now it's just starting to hurt and leave, and I want to live and grow, my uncle is calmer." Don't worry, girl. Shuning nodded in response. She just left.

But where is Tongying able to calm down? Shuning felt no more pain. Fang just climbed him up and went back to the room first. Tong Ying was about to help her into the house, but was stopped by her grandmother. said that he didn't know where the lady gave birth, and the second master couldn't go into the house. Tong Ying was very depressed, and Shuning had no choice but to comfort him: "I still have to bathe and wash my hair, you are also in the way when you come in, why don't you go and help me hire a good doctor to prepare the medicinal materials that can be used?" ”

Tong Ying thought about it and explained a lot before turning around. Shuning ordered people to boil water, take a bath, wash their hair, and the grandmothers wanted to stop her, but said: "It's still early, wash it first, otherwise you are not allowed to touch the water for the whole month, won't it stink?" "Just kidding, she can't stand it.

The grandmothers couldn't stop it, and went to find the second sister-in-law to persuade her, but the second sister-in-law didn't object, but just confessed as soon as possible.

Shuning happily took a hot bath, washed her hair carefully, let Yahuan dry it with a dry towel little by little, and combed her hair loosely before letting people cook.

The grandmothers were about to faint, and Shu Ning, who was about to start hurting again, endured the pain and said that she wanted to eat, and there were chickens, meat, vegetables, and eggs, and she couldn't help but sigh, this lady was going to give birth to a child, and it was different from others, who was still so calm when her first child was about to give birth?

Shuning knew it. Although she has never produced pork, she has never eaten pork and has seen pigs run. Before the crossing, I also heard some things about other people giving birth, and after the crossing, I saw others give birth several times, and I knew that there is still a long time before the real birth, and it will take a lot of effort to wait for a while, how can I not eat enough? Thinking of being like the prince of Fujin Guerjia, how can you have the strength to support it with only half a bowl of porridge and a few mouthfuls of ginseng soup? I think that Zhenzhen just had eaten at the beginning, how strong and smooth she was. In the past two months, she has been accompanied by Tongying almost every day to walk around the courtyard a few times, and sometimes she will go to the palace to visit the door, her diet is stable, her body is healthy, her mood is happy, and there is a great possibility of a smooth delivery. She will try to keep herself in the best possible condition.

When Tongying came back from looking for a doctor, Shuning had just finished eating a big bowl of rice and was about to add a second bowl, the doctor took his pulse trembling, his beard fell off for a long time, and then he said, "It's good to have an appetite." Then he went to explain the precautions to the mothers and daughters-in-law who delivered the babies.

Shuning slowly swallowed the last few grains of rice, drank a sip of hot tea, slowly endured another pain, wiped the cold sweat on her forehead, turned her head and said to Tongying: "I'm going into the delivery room, you just wait for me outside." Although she would prefer Tongying to accompany her in the delivery room, this is a bit of a force for an ancient man.

Tong Ying was stunned and suddenly grabbed her hand: "I'll accompany you in......" but was stopped by others. The second sister-in-law also said: "Uncle, the man is unlucky when he enters the delivery room, the girl will be fine, you just have to rest assured." Tong Ying glanced at her in a daze, turned her head to look at her wife, suddenly hugged her tightly and murmured: "You must be safe......" Shuning smiled and patted his back several times, said "rest assured", and then endured another burst of pain and walked into the east chamber.

By this time, it was almost dark, and lights were lit everywhere in the courtyard, and everyone was waiting for them. Several ladies of the palace got the letter and went to the main house early to wait. Li Fujin saw that Tong Ying had been standing outside the East Chamber, so he persuaded him to enter the house and wait for the news, but Tong Ying said, "I want to accompany her here." Then he instructed the servant to hang a lantern on a branch of a tree beside him, and to shout a few words to the house from time to time. reassures his wife and lets her know that she is here all along.

In the house, Di Shuning endured more and more frequent and intense pain on the dry and soft valley and grass, and the second sister-in-law came over to wipe her sweat and asked softly: "It really hurts, just call a few times." Shuning shook her head: "Take it...... Grab something for me to bite into...... Biting the ......," the second sister-in-law Xun found a big handkerchief, stuffed it into her mouth, and wiped her sweat again. He changed a dry towel and asked Zhou Changjia gently: "How long will it take?" Zhou Chang shook his head and said, "Wait." ”

Shuning heard her words, took a deep breath and continued to endure. The lights outside the window reflected the silhouette of Tongying on the window screen, and she could imagine that Tongying at this moment must be tightly pursed and her brows tied into three knots. Listen to his voice. She couldn't help but smile slightly, but was soon broken by a sharp pain, and her feet were pressed against each other until a bruise appeared on the instep of her foot. Fang has just survived this wave.

I don't know how long it was, and by the time she gave birth, she felt like she was soaking wet, barely feeling any pain. I can only hold on to the edge of the kang on my body. Grasp the hand that the second sister-in-law stretched out. Gritted his teeth and used all his strength to give birth to the child. Outside the window, Tongying's voice was also hoarse. Looking at the dark night sky in a daze, he silently prayed to the heavens, praying for the safety of his wife and children.

Finally, when the first rays of sunlight shone into the courtyard in the morning, a loud baby cry came from inside the house. is the last dividing line that appears in this article

In the spring and February of the forty-second year of Kangxi, Fengtian

Shu Ning carefully read the letter that her parents had just brought over, and when she was about to reply, she heard the immature voice of her eldest son Yang Hai behind her: "E, mother, I will carry it!" ”

She smiled and turned around to pick up her eldest son, kissed her and asked, "Really?" Carry it to E-niang? I only heard him read in a crisp voice: "The original nature of human beings is similar to each other, and the habit is far away, and it is the way to transfer religion to the ...... If the child does not learn, it is not appropriate for the young to learn what the old is. ”

He said a sentence, Shuning nodded, and when he finished reading these sentences, she smiled and praised: "Hai'er is so good, she can already recite so much, what do you want to eat today?" E-Niang will do it for you. ”

"It's just that I memorized a few sentences of the "Three Character Classic", don't spoil him, there are still a lot of people who haven't memorized it underneath." Tongying walked into the door, still holding her daughter Yang Yu, who had just turned 100 days, in her hand.

Yang Hai slipped out of his mother's arms and ran over to his father and said, "Amma, I want to hug my sister." Tongying knocked him on the head: "You almost didn't drop your brother last time, how can you let you hug my baby girl if you made him cry for a long time?!" ”

Yang Hai refused to give up, holding his legs and kept shouting "to hug", "to hug", which provoked Tongying to stand it and shouted directly: "Lao Shi help me take your eldest nephew away!" ”

The half-grown boy answered, ran in, said hello to Shuning, and then hugged Yang Hai and said, "How about Uncle Hai'er take you to see Dama?" Yang Hai hesitated and looked at his father's arms, and his sister nodded with difficulty, and was quickly carried away by Wu Ge.

Tong Ying watched them leave, turned her head and said, "Stinky boy Guang will rob my daughter with me, why don't you see him so interested in his younger brother?" ”

Shuning packed up the letter, paper and pencil and glanced at him angrily: "It's you, the baby daughter who is Amma, right?" I also want to ask, why don't the twin children born together see that you are so fond of Fei'er? ”

Tong Ying smirked a few times, carefully put her daughter back into a car, gently tied the strap, and then slowly shook her head and smiled at her wife: "How well-behaved our daughter is, how like those two boys are noisy landlords." I just like the girl's girl's sticker

Shuning pursed her lips and smiled, and also walked over, picked up a ractrum painted with large and small colorful butterflies next to her, and shook it gently. With the sound of "dong dong" drumming out of the dial, the little baby girl showed a "toothless" smile, and she laughed very happily with "card", and Tongying was jealous: "It makes Amma sad so much, good daughter, why do you smile so happily when you see something with butterflies, but you haven't laughed for me for so long, Amma coaxed you for so long?" ”

Shu Ning saw him showing that stupid look again, and said angrily: "Okay." Let your brothers and sisters see your steady and good brother's place name, and they will not be protected. What about Fei'er? I heard him crying. Tongying touched her head and said: "It's not easy to fall asleep there, don't wake him up, I can't wait for that little ancestor." ”

Shuning was amused when she heard it, although the pair of children who were born at the end of last year were twins. But the temperament is very different, the daughter is quiet and well-behaved, never worrying about people, but the son is a shocking Tai Sui, he can't stop crying, in order to let the increasingly busy Tongying have a good rest, so he had to put it in another room, once it was really noisy, and forced Tongying to go to the palace to spend the night. So. Compared with the noisy younger son and the eldest son who always likes to steal his mother's attention, the well-behaved daughter has become Tongying's favorite child.

Tong Ying turned her head to see the letter on the table and asked, "Is it a letter from my father-in-law and mother-in-law?" What was said? Shuning smiled: "It's not a big deal, except that Xiaobao entered the Yongjun Palace, as a guard." It is very likely that this year, the imperial court will be appointed as the same examiner, let us set a date for going back as soon as possible, and get together before he enters the palace, so that he and Eniang can meet their grandson. Otherwise, wait until he finishes reading the papers. We might be coming back. Tong Ying smiled: "This is easy. We're going to arrive before Halloween. This Enke will have to wait until the emperor's fifty years of life before the exam, right? After a pause, he thought thoughtfully: "Has Xiaobao arrived at the fourth child?" It's just that. It's just that the capital is not very stable now, so I'd rather him come outside. ”

Shuning said: "He is still young, and after a few years of training, it's not too late to try something else." Ama said that when he finished this errand, he would tell the old man, saying that he was fifty years old, and he would not be involved in the affairs of officialdom while he could still walk around and enjoy leisure. At that time, he and Eniang can stay in Fangshan to enjoy Qingfu, or they can come to see me and my brother outside the gate, and we must be filial to them at that time. ”

Tong Ying thought for a while and said, "It's a pity that Lao Duan can't leave the jurisdiction at will, let's go farther away to Horqin when we go back to Beijing, meet him, and bring some things for him to my father-in-law and mother-in-law." Shuning nodded in response.

Duan Ning was sent to Ao Han as an official the year before the fight, and he took his wife and children to take office together, and in less than two years, the number of murders and robberies in the jurisdiction has been greatly reduced, which is very well received. Now that he is from the official position of Wupin, although the Yue family intends to find a southern envoy for him, he himself prefers to stay outside the Guan, and now the two sides have not yet reached a conclusion. In Shuning's opinion, if his father really went out with his mother after he said goodbye, his brother would still not go south, at most he would be transferred to Fengtianfu, and he could have a good future.

Tongying teased her daughter for a while and asked, "Have you made all the mattresses you made before?" I thought I would leave in ten days, but I could hurry? ”

Shu Ning said: "It's almost over, it's just the end." But let me ask you, do you really want to send the lychee jelly Pixiu to the palace as a birthday gift? Tongying smiled: "What? Isn't it good? I carved it myself. In addition, I painted the mattress with my own hands, and I and a few brothers took the clay of Fengtiandi, burned the ground with our own hands, and hunted mink and antlers. This is all a piece of our heart, which is much stronger than the precious pearl gemstones. I know what the emperor likes, you don't have to worry. Besides, if you want to give valuable gifts, there must be one on the palace side, so let's send them together. ”

Shuning thought about it and didn't say more, but when she saw a horse-head-shaped gold pendant that Tongying took to tease her daughter, she remembered that she had never seen it, so she asked, "Where did this come from?" I look at something like the craftsmanship of the Russian side. ”

Tong Ying said: "It is indeed a pair of 100-day gifts he gave to our children when I met Uncle Xi this morning." He took out another pendant from his purse, and it was exactly the same, one of them was gold and the other was silver.

Shuning shook her head and smiled: "This uncle seems to appreciate you very much?" In the past two years, I have often sent small things to us. ”

Tong Ying sighed: "It's just that that year, I accidentally met the old side of King Minjun, Fujin passed away, but no one wore filial piety, I really pity me, and his family was originally a branch of King Minjun, or my uncle, so I became a filial grandson for her." I didn't expect to be seen by the two uncles Sickerten, and since then, they have often come to me, and Uncle Sickertenn died last year, and asked me to help again. Come to think of it, they are all heirless people, probably the same kind of thing. ”

Shuning said: "There are no relatives in the clan, they are not bad, you can take care of them more." ”

"It's a pity that I'm not in favor of it." Tongying smiled bitterly: "The two uncles are the descendants of my great-grandfather's ninth son, and they rarely have contact with our family, and their titles are low. Amma has always disdained to pay attention to them, and besides, he is not very sick now, and it will be a little taboo for me to wear filial piety for others again. ”

"The prince's illness...... What the hell is going on? ”

"That's it, I've persuaded him many times to let him recuperate, don't run around with old age, but he doesn't listen, not only dance knives and guns every day, if I don't write a letter to let my eldest brother stop him desperately, and even have to go out with the emperor with illness, it's really a headache."

"But he didn't go after all, did he?" Shuning smiled: "It can be seen that he still values your ideas very much." Let's bring more good herbs back, didn't we just get a batch of ginseng and deer antler velvet a few days ago? ”

Tong Ying shook his head: "Is there still less good medicine sent back in the past two years?" In fact, the eldest brother also mentioned in a private letter that Amma may not last long, so let's be sure to bring the children back and let him see them. In fact, he can't figure out who the old man is, can't he see who the prince is? Even if we had helped him a little, how could he care? Why do you want to be angry and break your body for those things? It's better to tease your grandson at home and enjoy the blessings. Speaking of this, his expression was a little gloomy.

Shuning held his hand and smiled: "Okay, don't worry, it's common for the old man to be in poor health in winter, and now that the weather is warm, it should be fine." Let's leave for the south as soon as possible, maybe the prince will be happy to get sick when he sees you and the children? ”

Tong Ying smiled faintly and took his wife and coaxed her daughter to sleep together.

It's just that this warm scene didn't last long, as Wu Ge and Yang Hai, the two children, the older and the youngest, rushed into the courtyard again, and the noise woke up Yang Fei, who had finally quieted down, and cried again, Tong Ying and Shuning looked at each other with a wry smile, knowing at a glance that their parents were about to start having a headache again.

Tong Ying sighed: "Why is it not over? ”
