224. Parents
Tong Ying knotted her eyebrows, and Shu Ning looked at him worriedly. finally persuaded Prince Jian to set up the idea of establishing a prince, and most of the knots on the eldest brother Yaerjiang's side were also resolved, and at this juncture, such rumors suddenly appeared, will it affect the relationship between the brothers again? The canonization of the prince may also be uncertain.
Shuning didn't know what to say, so she had to comfort: "After all, this is just a rumor, it can't be true, maybe it's just that someone else will have this idea when they see that the prince of the country is promoted to knighthood." Haven't you already been rewarded for your military exploits? The emperor will probably not reward it again. ”
Tong Ying shook her head and took a deep breath and said, "Now that the emperor is not in the capital, the rumors are just rumors." Even if there is a will, it will be for later. If my age rises a little later, the emperor will not be so confused. Let's leave that alone and live here for a few days. ”
Shuning changed her smile and nodded.
However, the truth seems to be a little unsatisfactory, and Tongying's residence makes him knot between his eyebrows again. Because the groom is not allowed to have sex with the bride during the month, otherwise it will not be conducive to the bride's family, so he cannot live in Shuning's boudoir, and can only arrange another room.
Nala originally arranged for him to live in the main courtyard, and Tong said: "Even if he has a noble status, in the end, he is a junior who does not occupy the old man's house." Although the sister-in-law is well-intentioned, don't break his life. "That's it. It's just that at Duanning's suggestion, the Nala clan arranged a chrysanthemum courtyard again. The whole family of the four rooms is in Sichuan, leaving only a few maids-in-law, watching the house, cleaning it up for Tongying's master and servant to live, absolutely liveable, and the environment is good.
But the problem is that the chrysanthemum temple is quite a distance away from the Huaiin Temple, and you can come from that side or pass in front of the main courtyard. Or walk through the garden. For Tongying, it is already difficult for the newlywed Yan'er to not be intimate, if she really lives so far away, wouldn't it be inconvenient to be together during the day?
Duan Ning said with a smile: "This is no way, you can also see the situation in the Huai Courtyard." Full. This kind of weather can't let you stay in a study, right? It must be too cold at night, and my house is for Xiaobao to live again. As for my yard, my wife and children are all there. It's also inconvenient for you. Although the chrysanthemum courtyard is not close, how far can it be from the back house? And it is the most clean and refreshing, and the house is warm to ensure that you live comfortably. ”
Tongying was depressed though. I suspect in my heart that this is the brother-in-law who has yin himself, but it is true that the Huaiyuan is a small place. Although he himself didn't mind living in a small house, Shuning's family was not so particular. But his identity is there, but he is afraid that other people in this family will gossip, so he had to agree, and just come over to accompany his wife every morning.
However, he soon found out from the two brothers-in-law, in fact, the original mother-in-law Tong had made arrangements, planning to move Xianning to the east warm room of the main house, so that Xiaobao could temporarily live in Xianning, and the house would vacate Duanning's previous room for him. The room was bigger. There is a maid ring in the outer room, and it is not a problem to sleep on the bed at night, and it is not a problem to sleep in Xiaolanzi, and as for the other servants, they have already prepared a place to live.
Tong Ying was even more depressed and couldn't help but complain...... said to Duan Ning in private: "Old Duan, you are too unkind. It's all a family, and you're still plotting against me. I did my best when you married a wife. Duan Ning said with a smile: "Didn't I make any effort to marry your wife?" Seeing that Tongying was speechless, he chuckled and said, "Okay, for the sake of our family, you can bear with it." Then he snickered and turned away.
Tongying had to suffer this dumb loss, but he also knew that Duan Ning and Shuning had a deep relationship between brother and sister, so he didn't say anything in front of Shuning. It's just that he is getting closer to his wife and his mother's family more and more vigorously, so as not to increase the weight of himself, so as not to be calculated by Duan Ning again. Shuning was funny when she saw it, but she didn't want to refute her brother's face for this trivial matter, so she watched the excitement with Tong and Zhenzhen.
Tongying came over early every morning to accompany his wife to comb her hair and have breakfast, and asked her mother-in-law and her titular mother-in-law to accompany her two brothers-in-law to practice riding and shooting, and to play with her sister-in-law, Zhenzhen and nephew Mingrui. Even the people on the other side of the house and the male and female servants in the house were treated very kindly. As the days went by, the whole house didn't like him, and they all secretly said that the third aunt and grandmother had married a good family. And those Rui chased after him, and Derui, the eldest of the boys, even left behind the words of his grandmother and parents, and rode on Tongying's neck to have fun.
Shuning has always been to the nephews and nieces of the big house, but Tong Yingdifu has been much closer to them recently. It's a pity that the only girl, Xue Rui, is almost seven years old, and the Li family disciplines her very strictly, and Jin Bao personally asks about the etiquette, so she can't play with her brothers.
Shuning's favorite nature is Duanning and Zhenzhen's child Mingrui. Brother Ming had just turned one year old in the summer, and now he is already a person, and he looks like a leather-looking little short leg, and he walks very steadily, and he disappears without paying attention. Zhenzhen spoils this son to the heart, and sometimes it is inevitable to indulge a little, but fortunately, Duan Ning and the second sister-in-law are measured and raise Brother Ming very well. Zhang Bao and Tong, as grandparents, are also benevolent, and the little doll is more well-behaved in front of Tong.
Shuning doesn't need to be a housekeeper now, and when she has nothing to do, she took over the responsibility of taking care of the child from Zhenzhen and pulled Tongying to tease Brother Ming together. Although Mingrui is a little black-headed, the tiger-brained is not as pitiful as Yongrui, and he is not as white and fat as Manrui, but looking at this nephew, she always feels like seeing her brother when she was a child, and she likes it very much. Tong Ying saw that she liked children, and giggled from time to time, and was disgusted by his wife, so she scolded her and accompanied her to take care of the children. Sometimes Xianning will come to compete for favor when he sees it after school. But every time it will be pulled away by Xiaobao in the name of doing homework.
They did a lot of homework. Mr. Yang fell off the list again this spring, so he simply concentrated on being a master. Xiaobao and Xianning moved back to Beijing, he was originally worried that the second elder of the Yu family did not want to come with him, but later the master of the Yu family heard that Jin Bao intended to ask Mr. Yang to be the worship master of the Baron's Mansion, so he strongly persuaded him to enter Beijing. Now Mr. Yang and his wife Yu live in the mansion, in addition to Xianning and Xiaobao, they also taught Derui and acted as An Ning's tutor by the way. He felt a great responsibility, and he was also strict with his students, especially for the older Xiaobao and An Ning.
It is said that since Shuning returned to her parents' house to live in the opposite place, in addition to inviting her from time to time on the side of the big house, occasionally relatives invited her to be a guest. Although the second room was only invited once. But Suo Xue Luo's kind of ostentatious words were annoying, Wan Liu's sour and disgusting people, she originally wanted to inquire about Yuan Ning's situation and the injury of the fifth elder brother, but Suo Xue Luo couldn't say it clearly, because the people of the Five Baylor Mansion are now living in Jane, and Yuan Ning rarely even returns to her mother's house. Seeing this, Shuning simply stopped going.
However, the Fucha family invited her to dinner with a group of young ladies in the Baron's Mansion. At this banquet. She was very happy to meet Xinran and the key who had not seen her for a long time. In addition, Zhenzhen, who has become a sister-in-law, has almost all her former girlfriends. She looked at everyone talking and laughing, and couldn't help but think of Zhou Yinlan.
She was inconvenient to go out long before the draft. He can only communicate with Zhou Yinlan and occasionally send things, but at least there is still contact. When she sent someone to go after marriage, Zhou Yinlan secretly showed that her family was worried that she would be said to cling to the powerful. I want my daughter-in-law not to have anything to do with Beizi Mansion. Shuning couldn't help but be sad, but the uncle of the Zhou family had already left the capital because he was promoted to Guizhou. Zhou Yinlan's uncle, the Li family, released them outside the year before last, and there was not even a person to do transit. For Zhou Yinlan's sake, she had to reduce the number of times she sent things to Fan's house, but she didn't plan to cut off communication.
Although the girls who were good friends with her in the past had their own experiences, compared to those who were happily married, Zhou Yinlan's situation was obviously more difficult.
She felt sorry for her friend here. Over there, everyone was already talking and laughing around Mingrui and Mingyu. The two children played together, and among the children of several families, they seemed very close. Mingyu looks like a sister, and she gives all kinds of delicious pastries to Mingrui, and Mingrui is happy. gave his favorite little Buhu to Ming Yu to play with, and pulled her to eat pastries together.
Seeing this, the key smiled and said, "Their names are like this." Why don't you let the children recognize each other? Happily, the sister-in-law Fei Moshi said: "What is it to recognize sisters and brothers? According to me, it's better to order a doll kiss, although Mingyu is older, it's not much worse. ”
Zhenzhen was a little moved when she heard this, and saw that Mingyu Yuxue was cute, but the other party was a clan, and she had some worries in her heart. Shu Ning listened to it next to her, and she didn't like this way of engagement, so she said: "It's all children, and they are not sensible, so what are you doing with early engagement?" When they grow up, ask them what they think. ”
Xinran also nodded and said lightly: "If they really fall in love in the future, we will naturally not stop them." She didn't worry about what the palace would marry, although it was customary for the nobles of the clan to marry Mongolia, but they were so idle, and the clan didn't have that "blessing".
Fei Moshi was a little embarrassed, but the key quickly started a new topic, and everyone continued to be happy, but they had their own ideas in their hearts.
Mrs. Wu Ya was also a little moved after listening to the words of the juniors. Mingrui is very likable, but unfortunately someone has taken a fancy to her granddaughter and has a draft to pass, so I won't consider it for the time being. However, Xue Rui of his family is dignified and stable at a young age, and his words are gentle, which is really rare. Her family has that Aunt Wanning, and the prospects for the future draft do not know what to do, but looking at Xue Rui's appearance, she is only delicate, and she must have a better chance of losing the draft. The grandson of his own family is naughty, if there is such a Sven daughter-in-law, it should be better, okay?
The wife of the Fucha family took Yongrui's little hand and talked to the Hitara clan, occasionally glancing at Xuerui a few times. His eldest grandson is only one year older than Xue Rui, but he has the same stable temperament......
When Shuning got home, it was already night. Tongying had already eaten, reading in the study of Huaiyuan, and saw that his wife was a little tired, so he went to her room to help her beat her back, which made Shuning amused, and hurriedly pulled him to sit down and talk.
She mentioned the situation of today's meeting, and talked about Zhou Yinland's affairs by the way, her expression was a little gloomy. Tong Ying thought for a while and smiled: "If you want to send someone to send a letter and something to the Fan family, and you are afraid that your friend will be gossiped, it is better to simply go in the name of Eniang." Hengzhu, your two families are a friendship between the family, and your niece's family is not around, and it is common for Eniang to care more about the younger generations. When Eniang is not in Beijing, it is normal for her daughter and daughter-in-law to do it for her. ”
Shu Ning's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she hurriedly said, "Thank you for reminding me of these words." Tongying said again: "What are you thanking for between husband and wife?" I also have an idea, I have an uncle who works as an errand in Guizhou, although he is a martial artist, but the yamen is in the provincial capital. How about I write a letter to him to take care of your friend's father? Shuning was even happier. In fact, she knew that Zhang Bao had already had this intention, but she was embarrassed to open her mouth to her son-in-law, and now it would be better for Tongying to take the initiative.
She's in a much better mood. told Tongying all the interesting things at the table, including Mingyu Mingrui's "baby parent" turmoil. She said it as a joke, but it would be a good thing if the two children really saw it right in the future. However, Tongying couldn't laugh when she heard it, but she just laughed dryly twice on her face, and quickly changed the topic.
He thought twice about it afterwards. He cautiously asked Duan Ning about the death of the old earl. But Duan Ning knew in his heart that this matter had something to do with the old lady, and it was not good to tell him, so he dealt with it indiscriminately. When I asked Shuning again, he also answered almost the same.
Tongying then misunderstood even more. thought that their family knew that the old earl had died a little unjustly, but they were worried that they might be involved in the powerful and did not want to speak out, and they should not know who the real culprit was. So he was a little sullen about that "baby pro". If it's just a joke, if it becomes true in the future, but the truth is revealed. It's inevitable that adults will be sad, but what about children? But he can't tell the truth now.
He was in a bad mood, so he was bored in the study all day long, and Shuning noticed that he asked him what was wrong, but he only got the answer of "it's okay", and was about to ask again, but he was reported by someone below. Said that Fang Ning was going to produce.
Fang Ning was in pain for three days, and after exerting all her strength, she gave birth to a pair of twins, who were actually sons. The mother and son of the Shu Mulu family were so happy that they were busy asking the doctor to grab the medicine. To recuperate Fang Ning's body, Mrs. Shu Mulu even went to ask the old feudal lord of the Tara family in person. I asked for a hundred-year-old ginseng to come back.
The confinement sister-in-law sent by the Tong family, Lu everyone, is older, experienced and steady, thanks to her and Wen Po's hard work, Fang Ningdi's life was saved, and although Fang Ning is still weak, it is not a big problem. Aunt Chen cried for a long time, and that night she begged for the grace of the Nala clan, packed her luggage, and moved to her son-in-law's house to take care of her daughter.
On the day of washing, Shuning, her mother, sister-in-law and the people in the big house went to Shu Mulu's house early, and they also went into the room to see Fang Ning. Seeing that Fang Ning was weaker but in good spirits, he relieved his heart. Although the two newborns looked a little thin, their cries were very loud, and everyone was amazed. Everyone ate noodles outside at noon, and gathered together on the side of the kang to prepare to wash the three, the house has already been dedicated to the thirteen gods on the kang utensils are placed, flowers, flowers, sheng'er, buckets, locks, weighings, small mirrors, toothbrushes, tongue scraping, green cloth tips, green tea leaves, new combs, new cages, rouge powder, pig pancreatic soap balls, new towels, copper tea trays, green onions, ginger slices, mugwort leaf balls, baking cages, incense candles, money and grain paper yards, raw and hard-boiled eggs, mallets, etc. are all double. The midwife's grandmother and Lu family sent by the Xitara family came to the kang with a child in their arms.
Originally, Shuning was the highest status among the people in the house, and she should have added a pot first, but the old feudal monarch of the Hitara family was the oldest in her, and the Tong family and Nala were present, so she was humble and was only willing to be the first to add a pot among her peers. If the crowd can't persuade them, it's just that. Lao Fengjun first added a pair of small gold ingots, and specially kissed the child.
Soon it will be Shuning's turn. She had already participated in this kind of ceremony a few times, and when she knew the rules, she first added some water to admit her grandmother, and said busily: "Long flowing water, smart and smart", and then added two pairs of gold and silver bills, and the Lu family said: "The gold and silver are full of warehouses, rich and long." In short, they are all auspicious words.
After "adding a basin", the grandmother and Lu family picked up the mallet and stirred it into the basin and said: "One stir, two stirs, three stirs, and the elder brother leads the younger brother to run." Seventy, eighty, crooked, and naughty children are all here! "That's when I started bathing the baby. The children both cried, and they didn't care, but they just washed and said, "Wash your hair first and be a prince; The first generation of the post-washing waist is higher than the other; Wash eggs and wash the county as a county; Wash the ditch and do Zhizhou", and then comb your hair and roll eggs through the ginger slices.
After washing, they wrapped the child, picked up a green onion, and gently hit the child three times, saying: "One dozen smart, two dozen clever, three dozen evil demons crooked." After finishing the matter, he asked Fang Ning's husband Yihai to take the green onions outside and throw them on the roof.
Shuning and everyone were watching happily, but they heard someone knocking at the front door, and they didn't know who was coming.
Nala was suddenly very excited, and hurriedly called someone to open the door, and said to Mrs. Shu Mulu with a smile: "The second aunt who asked people to pick up the children before thought that she had arrived. ”
(I didn't notice the taboo that couples can't have sex together during the month, so I'm really sorry.)
