The stalk is produced on February 15? Have you invited all the elders to the house? While serving Chen Yan a meal, he let Banye get up and said with a smile: "Go back and thank your aunt for sending the dragon beard noodles, she is so busy, I still remember that the second dragon raised his head in February today." ”

"Back to Mrs., the elders all said that it was February 15, and my aunt and grandmother had invited the three elders to live in the house on February 10. My aunt said that the flower dynasty on February 12 has no heart to do, and when the sister of the terrier branch gives birth safely, she is confined to the confinement period, and she must take the painting boat to visit Hongqiao in March, and then post it to Mrs. ”

Chen Yan smiled slightly and took the white rice, "Didn't you also prepare dragon beard noodles this morning?" Haven't sent it yet? ”

Qi Su Niang said with a smile: "I made it for you to eat, Li'er made it better than me, I was letting her go down, and when it came out of the pot, let Banye take it back." ”

Chen Yan ate slowly, saw that Bi'er had retreated with half a leaf, and suddenly said, "Su Niang, these days, it's nothing...... Didn't have any face-to-face men to talk to you? ”

Qi Su Niang was holding her hand for a moment, and looked at Chen Yan with a suspicious face, "Brother Chen, you said this...... What does that mean? ”

Chen Yan hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks, hugged Su Niang, and said softly, "Where do you want to go?" Am I not convinced of you? I'm just worried about you, there are too many prodigals and idlers in Yangzhou, and they are flying all over the streets like flies at the beginning of spring.

In recent days, there have been complaints from women from good families who have been molesting good families, and the perpetrators are all rich children with family assets or gangsters. On weekdays, I go out with a few more servants, my Su Niang is a first-class beauty......"

Qi Su Niang suddenly laughed, "It's the prefect of Yangzhou, do you still have to worry about me on the boundary of Yangzhou City?" Snuggled in Chen Yan's arms and said: "If you want to miss a few, I will only go to Lianxiang anyway, and his home is in the new city outside the West Gate." It's not close, it's not too far, and nothing will happen. Wei Yi hesitated, "Otherwise, I won't go"

Chen put his arm around her, "I know that you are afraid of losing my face, you won't entertain those poetry and literature clubs, you have nowhere to go on weekdays, Lianxiang understands your temperament, and she won't use these to annoy you." Just rest assured that you are good with Lianxiang, Master Zhou said" After a pause, he laughed, "If you meet someone who wants to talk to him, ignore him, go away quickly, come back and tell me, I will teach him a lesson." ”

Qi Su chuckled. "Brother Chen. You're a big official. The temper has also grown. "Hold him around the waist." Brother Chen. It's spring. When are you going to take the time? Accompany me to the lake? I've always wanted to have fun with my own boat. There are too many rules for even the big bosses. I didn't dare to pull the lotus incense to play with their painting boat. ”

Chen Yan laughed. Kissed him on the cheek. “。 I'll be sure to accompany you out to support the boat in March. I also rowed a bamboo raft when I was in Gaoyou. Let's change our clothes and go out. No one can see their identity. Play as much as you want. ”

It's February 15th. Qi Su Niang got up early in the morning. I'm going to Lianfu. Chen Yan stood by the dressing table and stared at Qi Su Niang. I saw her comb her hair and get up. Reach out and hold her in your arms. "Don't go in. Stay outside. There are always some taboos when seeing red. There was a pause. Said softly: "Don't worry. Have me for a day. I'll plan a day for you. Qi Su Niang was full of worries. I didn't hear it. Just nodded silently.

Arrived at Lianfu. Sitting in the terrier courtyard with Lianxiang, Rui'er, and Sister Gui waiting. But the stems have not moved.

It's noon. Even Zhenyun and Li Siqin rushed back. Everyone is eating. Suddenly, the stalk felt a backache. There was a slight pain in the stomach. After a while, it gradually became painful.

Rui'er saw that the stem branch was sweating profusely. Hurriedly asked, "But it hurts?" The terrier gritted his teeth and nodded. The room was in chaos.

Lianxiang hurriedly beckoned the upper and lower slaves and maids, helped the terrier into the bedroom, and asked the three elders who stayed in the house to come in, and ordered someone to go to the terrier branch's mother's house to report the news and pick up her three sisters-in-law. Inside simmer ginseng soup, boil fine rice porridge, and dye red eggs. The girls folded straw paper and mixed grass candy.

After a while, the stems became more and more painful, and the three old men came in, kowtowed to Lian Zhenyun to say hello, first diagnosed the happy pulse, and then asked the hour, and then smiled: "It's still early." He asked for a bucket of hot water, dragged out the stilt production basin, put a red lacquer board, and poured half a basin of hot water, "Uncle Lian avoided for a while, and the old man tried the water for the little lady." The old man laughed.

Lian Zhenyun nodded and retreated.

Qi Su Niang didn't know what it meant to test the water, so she just watched a few old people discuss, some said it was time to pot, and some said that they would have to wait for a while. The stalk on the bed was endured at first, but then the moaning became louder and louder, and Qi Su Niang's heart was beating in horror when she heard it.

The stalk branch hurt for a while, and the old men lifted her up and sat on the high stilt production basin. The stalk kept screaming and almost fainted, but it couldn't be born for a long time, and the old people said that it was a little bad.

Lianxiang and Rui'er were so frightened that they couldn't do it, and a stack of sounds came outside, asking Lian Zhenyun to burn incense on the god cabinet, and asking his daughter-in-law and mother-in-law to ask for birth charms and camphor wood. There was a lot of movement in the hall outside, and even Zhenyun's special envoy opened the ancestral hall, personally offering incense to ask for the blessing of the ancestors, and the birth charm and camphor wood were sent countless in the blink of an eye. The three old men in the delivery room opened drawers, cabinets, and boxes, and shouted: "Yellow-haired girl, black-haired little envoy, quickly hold one to me." ”

Qi Suniang listened to the screams of the terriers, her forehead was sweating, her feet were soft, she walked out with her support for the wall, and the wall next to the door of the outer hall barely supported, wiping her sweat with a handkerchief, but Sister Gui stood quietly on the side, silent.

Seeing that it was night, the birth charm was hung on the lintel, and the camphor wood would also burn out, and the three old men shouted, "Hand the ginseng soup, send the soup, and the room is not allowed to move" and listen to the croaking baby crying, "gave birth to a little master" The terrier branch finally stopped screaming and fainted and fell asleep.

Qi Su Niang saw that she gave birth safely, and the mother and son were safe, so she breathed a sigh of relief, and her whole body collapsed, only to feel more thrilling than her own birth. On the other side, Sister Gui didn't say a word, grabbed ahead of her daughters-in-law and girls, and walked outside into the main hall, "Master, congratulations to your son, and even the family incense has been passed on." ”

Lian Zhenyun, who was sitting in the outer hall, jumped up from the couch, "Dahe, hurry up and go to Tianning Temple to invite the monks to come and recite the Heart Sutra for the big boat, go and do it, and carry the stem branch to be the aunt of the partial house."

Although Qi Su Niang didn't know how Lian Zhenyun was in front of her relatives and cronies, she knew that Lian Zhenyun, whether it was in front of everyone or when the two of them were alone, she saw him every move, every word and word was very measured, and she had never seen him look so frivolous. She watched Lian Zhenyun walk in front of her in a gust of wind, hurriedly walked into the inner courtyard, took her son from the hands of the old men who greeted her and said that she was pleasing to him, held it high, and walked out slowly.

Chen Yan is the only son of Mrs. Chen, the only one of the Chen family.
