Chapter 513: The Heat (Medium)
The fifth lady smiled and bent her eyebrows, and said softly to Xu Lingkuan: "Fifth master, you can choose a name for the child!" ”
The fifth master listened with a contemplative expression.
The third lady smiled: "Newborn child, what is so urgent." It's not too late to take it when our brother Qin becomes a relative. ”
Newborn children generally take a small name first, and then wait for the child to be older and then take a big name, for fear that the blessing is too much, and the child can't stand it. It's just that the third lady said this, and the fifth lady was very unhappy.
Her child comes from a famous family, what can't she stand it!
What's more, Brother Jin of the Eleventh Mother's family also took a name as soon as he was born.
Xu Lingkuan didn't feel comfortable listening to it, but it made sense when he thought about it carefully. I was about to laugh with my wife, but when I saw my wife's face full of grievances, she immediately changed her mind and said, "I think it's better to call it 'Xu', and say 'Xu' first." He is one of the brothers, and there will be many more in the future......"
诜 has many meanings.
Mrs. Tai glanced at the third lady and said with a smile: "This name is good." Then he asked the fifth lady, "What do you say?" ”
The children are the seventh among the cousins, but the child at the head of their house is the eldest son. The fifth lady felt that Xu Lingkuan should give the child a louder name, but Mrs. Tai nodded, and the meaning of the fifth master's words was to let her add more dingjiakou, so she nodded with a smile, took the child with a smile, kissed the child's cheek, and said softly: "Our brother has a name!" ”
Mother Shi was busy on the side and said, "Congratulations to the Seventh Young Master for having a name!" ”
The fifth lady raised her face and smiled.
The house full of maids and mothers-in-law all called "Uncle Xu".
The third lady couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.
She gave birth to two sons, and there was no such frivolity.
Mrs. Tai, who had a grandson, didn't feel that it was frivolous, and told the fifth lady with a smile: "Take care of yourself." There is a stone mother in the house. Although the weather is hot, you can't open the window to blow the cold wind......"
Mrs. Tai said a word, and the fifth lady responded, until Mrs. Tai looked at the fifth lady with a tired face, then she stopped, smiled and said, "I'll come to see you tomorrow", and then the eleven mother and the third lady served and returned to the house.
On the day of the third baptism, a large group of people came to the red light alley, probably because of distant relatives, and the fifth lady only introduced Dingnan Hou Shizi's wife Mu to Shi Niang and others.
Mu was twenty-seven or eight years old, of medium stature, with fair skin and delicate facial features, but he was very shy, and his face turned red as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Look, look," Grandma Huang San teased, "Compared with Mrs. Sun, we have all become faceless and skinless." ”
Mrs. Sun was taken aback when she heard this, and hurriedly said, "It's that I haven't seen the world." Seeing the ladies panicked. Where the lady has no face and no skin. ”
"Sister-in-law, don't listen to Grandma Huang San." The fifth lady was very protective of this sister-in-law, "She is joking with you!" Then he said, "Sister-in-law hasn't seen Princess Fucheng yet, has she?" She was talking to my mother-in-law in my mother-in-law's house! ”
The ladies, wives, and grandmothers in this room knew each other well, and they all spoke things that she could not understand and could not interject.
Sun Shi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "I'm going to say hello to Princess Fucheng!" Then he hurriedly said goodbye to Grandma Huang San, Grandma Lin and others, and was accompanied by Mother Shi to Mrs. Tai's house.
Grandma Lin smiled and joked to the fifth lady: "Danyang, you can finish your sister-in-law's words." ”
The fifth lady didn't comply, and said angrily: "My words are not too much!" ”
Everyone turned their attention to Mrs. Zhou, who had been silent since entering the door.
Since Sister Fang gave birth to her second daughter, Mrs. Zhou has rarely gone out.
Seeing this, she smiled and said, "I talk, you think I talk too much." I don't speak, and you think I'm talking too little. As he spoke, he pretended to sigh helplessly, "Pity me, neither is the left, nor is the right...... You will stand here under your eyes. ”
The words made everyone laugh.
Mrs. Tang Si stepped forward and took Mrs. Zhou's hand: "Don't pay attention to these monkeys, let's talk while we go." He sat on the Taishi chair next to her, and talked to Mrs. Zhou about his daughter's dowry: "...... Mrs. Tai left a double-layer pearl bracelet, all the size of longan, which is very rare. My sister's wrist is thin, and she wears it and falls down. I wore it as a necklace, and it was shorter; It's a pity to make beaded flowers. I don't know what to do! ”
Mrs. Zhou smiled: "You have found the wrong person, you should find Mrs. Xu Si for this matter." "The interest in the conversation was not high.
"You are well-informed, and Mrs. Xu Si is ingenious," Mrs. Tang Si said nicely, "I can invite you two to give our sister an idea, what else do I have to worry about." It's just that both of them have noble statuses, and they didn't dare to think about it for a while. Since you have said this today, you are not welcome. Then he went to bring Eleven Niang, "You two help me sum up, so that I can marry our sister decently!" ”
Ever since she knew that Mr. Zhao was dissatisfied with the attitude of the Tang family and resigned, Eleven Niang was wary of the people of the Tang family and didn't want to get too close to their family. smiled: "I'm just tossing and tossing at home." How can you have this ability to help your sister give advice. It's better to ask Sister Zhou to come up with ideas! ”
Mrs. Tang Si didn't follow, and insisted on pulling Eleven Niang to sit next to Mrs. Zhou.
Grandma Lin looked at it and whispered to Grandma Huang San: "I heard that the Tang family wants Tang Sangongzi to divorce his wife." It seems that the Tang family is going to put their efforts on the Zhou family. ”
Grandma Huang San pursed her lips and didn't make a sound.
These days, she often walks around the Xu family, and Mrs. Tang Si once gave four hundred-year-old ginseng under the pretext that Eleven Niang was not in good health, and Eleven Niang felt that the gift was too heavy, so she transferred it to the queen mother. Later, he intermittently sent some cloth and clothing and other things, and Eleven Niang entered the account one by one, and sent a return gift according to the value of the thing. Mrs. Tang Si has just stopped in the past few days.
There was a little maid over there who opened the curtain, and the third lady walked in surrounded by a group of maids and mothers-in-law: "The banquet over there has been arranged, let's move over and sit down!" ”
Yesterday, she took the initiative to ask Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Fifth to help arrange the three baptismal rites of Brother Xu'er.
An acquaintance smiled and said, "Oh, when are you going back to Beijing?" ”
"I'll be back in the middle of the new year." The third lady said with a smile, "Our brother Qin is about to get married, and the date is set for September 16, and we will go to Shanyang only after this important thing is done." When the time comes, you should come and have a glass of thin wine. ”
"That's nature, that's nature."
She also invited Grandma Lin, Grandma Huang San, Mrs. Tang Si and others: "You must come when the time comes." He also told Mrs. Tang Si, "My sister also informed me when she met Grandma Tang Jiu in the West Courtyard." In a few days, I will personally go to the house to invite. ”
Mrs. Tang Si smiled: "Be sure to bring the words." ”
Grandma Huang asked Eleven Niang in a low voice: "Does your family have any dealings with the Tang family's West Courtyard?" ”
The west courtyard of the Tang family lives in the side branch of the Zhongshan Hou family.
Eleven Niang thought for a while and said, "Maybe the third sister-in-law has a personal relationship with that side!" ”
When I wrote the invitation afterwards, I learned that once the third lady went to Tang's house to have a wedding wine, and it happened that Tang Jiu's grandmother and daughter in the West Courtyard had a 100-day gift, and she had given two satin horses as a congratulatory gift.
The fifth lady was so angry that her face turned purple: "I'll just say, why is she suddenly so enthusiastic, and Brother Xu'er's baptism ceremony and full moon ceremony rush to help." It turned out to be a treat for their brother Qin. He said to Eleven Niang again, "The fourth sister-in-law may not know yet, right?" She also invited two sisters-in-law from my mother's distant family...... When the time came, she threw her two children home and went to Shanyang by herself. My two sisters-in-law have any happy events in the family, do I still force my nephew and daughter-in-law to take out the money! Make such a look that I have never seen the world, let my face go anywhere! ”
Brother Xu'er had some diarrhea, and Eleven Niang came to visit the patient, but she didn't expect the fifth lady to talk to her about this.
The fifth lady can't do this kind of thing, and she can't do it either.
Eleven Niang patted Brother Xu'er lightly and said with a smile: "Sometimes I envy those women in the market, who cry, make trouble and hang themselves, but they are so happy as us!" ”
The fifth lady was slightly stunned, and then smiled.
Looking at Shi Niang's gaze, it was more soft.
"September and autumn are crisp, and it is the time to enjoy chrysanthemums and eat crabs. I was going to take advantage of Brother Xu'er's 100-day gift to invite Qi Niang to come to Beijing to live for a few days. She frowned, "Now it seems that it is better to wait for Brother Qin'er to become a relative before I write a letter!" lest she rush over and hit it just in time. ”
Eleven Niang laughed: "You can write a letter directly - the third sister-in-law not only invited my fourth sister and twelfth sister, but also invited my seventh sister!" ”
The fifth lady opened her mouth and stammered, and only after a while did she say, "We really underestimate her!" ”
Eleven Niang laughed again when she heard this.
The infant brother frowned.
Eleven Niang hurriedly put away her laughter: "I almost woke up our brother Xu!" ”
The fifth lady saw that her eyes were gentle and doting when she looked at Brother Jin'er, just like when she looked at Brother Jin'er, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but bend.
"The fourth sister-in-law is not in good health, you better give him to the nurse!"
The fifth lady has always attached great importance to the child, and the eleventh mother was not polite, and handed the child to the nurse with a smile. The fifth lady talked to her about Qi Niang.
"There has been no movement. The old lady of the Zhu family scolds Huai at home every day. Zhu Ye can't help it. A few days ago, Qi Niang went back to her parents' house to live for more than half a month before going back. ”
Qi Niang didn't say a word about these things to Eleven Niang.
"So, how is she now?"
She didn't say it, though. But I think she must have a hard time. The fifth lady sighed, "That's why I want to take her to Yanjing to stay for a while." Let's see if we can find another doctor for her and take a closer look. ”
Eleven Niang was a little embarrassed.
I and Qi Niang are sisters, but it is not as good as the intimacy between the five ladies.
"I also persuaded her, or she will take a concubine." The fifth lady said, "She doesn't listen." Say I'd rather be and leave. I don't know what to say. She is here, the fourth sister-in-law should persuade her! ”
Eleven Niang faintly understood Qi Niang's feelings.
Zhu Anping is not only a husband to her, but also a lover. So I can't bear it, I'd rather separate than compromise, right?
Back in the house, she asked Xu Lingyi: "Can you check if Zhu Anping has had any children before?" ”
Xu Lingyi smiled: "Then it's better to take a concubine." At least the background is innocent. ”
"I'm not here for that!" Eleven Niang muttered, "Qi Niang looked for doctors everywhere, but there was no movement at all. If it is really Qi Niang's problem, she knows it, and she can also make up her mind how to do it! ”
Xu Lingyi thought about it and readily agreed.
