Chapter Eighty-Eight: Spring Blossoms
In the evening, Ji Rong, who was sent by Zhuo Zhaojie to Minping's Mansion to listen to the news, came back to report the good news, saying that Gu Paner gave birth to a 'daughter', and the mother 'daughter' was safe - because it was the first grandchild 'daughter' in the fourth room, You and Zhuo Fangli, who already had two grandchildren, liked this granddaughter very much, and the You family set the name Chang Niang on the spot - this Chang character is naturally because of the alias Changyue in November.
After Zhuo Zhaojie heard about it, he was also very happy, and personally ordered a rich congratulatory gift, and asked Ah Xing and Ah Li to send it.
Two days after the birth of Chang Niang, the good news also came out of the Zhending County Palace, Zhao Caolu was guarded by the crown princess and Princess Yikang personally, and gave birth to a son smoothly. It is for the eldest grandson of the crown prince.
The emperor and queen were all overjoyed when they heard the news, and the reward flowing water seemed to be sent to the palace of Zhending County, not to mention, and even under the joy of the saint, he discussed with Queen Chunyu about the matter of being knighted for Zhao Shi.
This rumor just came out, and the voices of the government and the opposition suddenly spread all over the world - if it is said that the king of Zhending County has been quite rooted in the past two years, then now because of the birth of the eldest son, he is really full-fledged, even if the crown prince is now on the throne, it is difficult to shake his position.
Especially when the king of Yanchang County has not come out so far.
And the emperor wants to knight Zhao Shi, which clearly consolidates the position of the future prince of Zhending County.
Although there are a few copies in the transcript that they were knighted because of the birth of their granddaughter, it is ridiculous. But the emperor and queen have made up their minds, and it is beyond the ministers' ability to stop them. What's more, everyone can see that at least when the emperor and queen are still there, the position of the grandson of the king of Zhending County is unshakable, and the important ministers have very good eyes, even if they oppose it in their hearts, at most they are silent - even if they are not worried about offending the emperor, they must always leave a way back for their descendants, so as not to settle accounts with the king of Zhending County when he ascends the throne in the future.
Therefore, the day after the full moon banquet was held in the palace of Zhending County, the holy decree of Feng Zhao Shi for Kang Lebo was issued.
Since then, the faction of the Zhending County King has grown rapidly, and the traffic has been lined up all the way to the outside of the Sixteen Wang's mansions, all of whom are trying to visit and ask to see the Zhending County King.
And the families who are close to the county king of Zhending, such as the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion, are also the choice of those whose identity is not enough to directly meet the county king. Since November, the daily Liyongcheng Marquis has received almost all the famous posts in baskets.
Ning Shaobi was picky about these visitors, even so, there was rarely a book in Chenguang every day. He was afraid that Zhuo Zhaojie would be tired, so he refused to let the 'females' relatives try to talk through Zhuo Zhaojie, so he did not hesitate to ask the eldest princess to speak, and no one was allowed to disturb Zhuo Zhaojie's pregnancy.
In such a busy situation, the year is gradually coming to an end.
In any case, the situation always moved in favor of the king of Zhending. So although Zhuo Zhaojie dragged his bulky body this year, he was very relieved.
On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the eldest princess was worried that Zhuo Zhaojie's body was already heavy, and if she went to the eldest princess's mansion, although there was only a corner 'door', the path was full of snow and the sweep was slippery. The eldest princess was not a person who attached great importance to red tape, so after weighing it, she ordered Ning Shaobi to stay in the Yongcheng Hou Mansion to accompany his wife. only called the Marquis of Yongcheng and Ning Xianrong to the Eldest Princess's Mansion to accompany him.
This night, the wind and snow howled outside the window, mixed with the crisp sound of firecrackers, but the house was burned by the earth dragon as if it was a melting 'spring' day. The moon season cultivated in the greenhouse under the window exudes a sweet fragrance, and the rising incense rising from the incense burner on the side is 'mixed' into a beautiful and soft glutinous.
In the dead of night, Ning Shaobi gently hugged his wife who was slightly 'dewed' and tired, and carefully rested her head on her shoulder socket. Zhuo Zhaojie pressed his forehead against the side of his cheek, listening to the faint heartbeat in the sound of the surging wind and snow and the sound of firecrackers one after another, and only felt indescribable peace of mind.
Although it is snowy and windy, this room seems to be blooming in 'spring' and warm 'flowers'.
According to the customs at this time, on the second day of the first lunar month, Ning Shaobi asked the eldest princess of Jiyang and the Marquis of Yongcheng to accompany Zhuo Zhaojie back to her parents' home. The accompanying carriages and horses were 'dang' and 'dang', because considering the thinness of the people in the Yongcheng Houfu, Ning Shaobi decided to let Zhuo Zhaojie give birth in his mother's house. It is not only the New Year's gift in the carriage and horse, but also the belongings of the two people.
The Minping Marquis Mansion had already been prepared, and You Shi thought about it and did not let the 'girl' live in the Jinghong Building, which he was used to, but cleaned a courtyard near the Jinghong Building. The scenery of this courtyard is far inferior to Jinghong Tower, but it is better than the house in the courtyard, which is not a building or a pavilion, which is convenient for Zhuo Zhaojie to enter and exit now.
In addition to the flat green bricks in the courtyard, there is no decoration such as rockery, only some grass and trees are planted in the corners where people do not go. Because it was winter, it was mostly covered by snow.
Ning Shaobi personally held his wife's hand, from the side corridor around to the main house, the dragon in the house has already been burned, and the oncoming eight-fold glass screen is burned with lifelike cute children, chasing and playing, large and small are all over the screen, it is the hundreds of sons and thousands of grandchildren of Ying Jinger.
Under the screen, there is a pot of red plum trees that have been moved in, which are blooming wantonly, and the fragrance is full of fragrance.
The house that You's prepared for his own 'daughter' who went home to give birth, of course, was exhausted, and he followed Zhuo Zhaojie's preferences and habits everywhere.
The two of them were very satisfied after a glance, sat less in the room, changed their robes, and went back to the Nianci Hall to greet the elders.
When he arrived at Nian Ci Hall, You Shi waved his hand to exempt Zhuo Zhaojie from saluting, and said, "What kind of salute can you do with your body now?" Leave that alone. And he said, "You have to move around more now, but it's better not to go out of the yard on such a snowy day." And I made all the men pass through the dragons of the earth in the corridor of your court, and put brocade felt, soft so that it does not hurt the feet. You can walk back and forth in that corridor. β
You Shi pulled the 'girl' to chatter, and it was the first time that Ning Shaobi was left aside. Ning Shaobi was not angry, but she listened carefully to You's words, and prepared to restrain Zhuo Zhaojie one by one after she went back, lest she forget or be lazy.
While she was talking, Gu Paner's 'breast' mother and aunt came in with an umbrella and a fur coat. Seeing this, You asked in surprise: "Why did you bring Chang Niang over?" What should she do if she gets cold on the road? β
Aunt Sun bowed and said busily: "Madam, please rest assured, Mrs. Chang is healthy." The young lady ordered the maidservant to wrap the fox fur again, and there was no wind on the road. But this is the case, this morning the young lady got up a little cold, worried that she would be sick and give Chang Niangzi, so she asked the maid to bring Chang Niangzi and begged Mrs. to take care of it for a few days. β
When You heard this, his expression eased slightly, and he asked Quan Ming to take Chang Niang over, gently untie the coat outside, and 'exposed' the swaddling clothes inside. But I saw a little pink face in the swaddling clothes, sleeping with her eyes closed, breathing evenly, and her face was white and tender, revealing ruddy, and she was indeed a sturdy 'girl' baby.
Zhuo Zhaojie is the first time to see her niece', she is now about to become a mother, it is the most loving and patient time for the children in the world. Stretched his neck and looked at it for a moment, wanting to hug it, but he was afraid that his body was too heavy and inconvenient now, so he had to swallow the words.
You also took this into account and did not give her swaddling clothes. After seeing that Chang Niang was fine, You asked Aunt Sun: "Pan'er is so decent, why did she hurt the wind?" β
Aunt Sun had a trace of embarrassment on her face, and said, "Maybe it's because the window wasn't closed properly yesterday, so I didn't carefully enter the house through the wind." β
You's 'shrewd' is clear, and most of the things in the fourth room can be foreseen - she heard from someone early this morning that Lang Huaixuan was a little loud last night. Counting the days, Gu Pan'er didn't have long to come out of confinement, and only after the confinement caught up with the New Year of Layue, although she is not in charge of the house now, and the trivial matters in the fourth room have He's helper, but the things in Lang Huaixuan always have to be '' by her.
What's more, Zhuo Zhaocui also had some socializing with his classmates and friends a few years ago.
The Chinese New Year's Eve had to be observed, and it was the first day of the first lunar month yesterday, after worshipping the ancestors, the family was exhausted, and each went back to his room to rest in peace.
is strong-blooded, when Gu Pan'er was pregnant before, Zhuo Zhaocui didn't accept anyone to serve, after nearly a year of patience, it was easy to get kung fu, and the two of them played a little crazy, and it was not unforgivable.
But...... The daughter-in-law actually hurt the wind...... What the hell has this tossed into? Came over this morning and said that Lang Huaixuan was a little big yesterday, but he was waiting outside the hospital, and he was celebrating the New Year, which ......
You Shi turned his mind a few times, looked at the little 'daughter' and little 'daughter' son-in-law next to him, and didn't say a word of reproach in the end, but said: "If it's cold today, the house is burning with dragons, and all the clothes are single, don't be too negligent about the 'door' household." β
Aunt Sun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was really right to pinch Qi Niang and Hou Shizi of Yongcheng to come over, even if the You family knew the real cause of Gu Pan'er's cold, she would not beat this kind of thing in front of her 'daughter' and 'daughter' son-in-law. She was busy with Gu Pan'er and respectfully agreed.
You Shi said again: "In this case, I'm afraid that Pan'er and Hachiro won't be able to go to the Gu family today, so as not to pass the illness." Quan Ming, you will send someone to accompany Aunt Sun to explain to Mrs. Qi, so that she will not worry. β
Aunt Sun hurriedly thanked You again.
Zhuo Zhaozhen had already accompanied the He family to lead the twins to the He family, but Zhuo Zhaoqiong's side was inconvenient to come back today, because Juyang Bola fell ill in the month, and the son Yang Mou naturally had to serve in front of the bed, and so did the grandson Yang Chun. The father and son couldn't accompany Zhuo Zhaoqiong, Zhuo Zhaoqiong felt too boring to go back to Zhuo's house alone, so he sent someone to explain it a few years ago.
So on this day, Zhuo Zhaocui and Gu Paner were the day before. The desire is too much, one is hurtful, the other is ashamed, and he continues to be tired of Lang Huaixuan in the name of accompanying his wife. Zhuo Fangli and You's sons and daughters, but only Zhuo Zhaojie's husband and 'wife'.
Fortunately, several grandchildren, grandsons, and grandsons-in-law of the You family are now studying in the Zhuo family.
You Chi has not married Meng Miaorong yet, and of course Meng Miaorong is not here, and she is not in Jiangnan now - last year, Meng Yuanhao was transferred to Li County, left Moling, and went to Shannan to take up a post, and Meng Miaorong accompanied him. Their wedding date was set two years ago, in May of next year. Therefore, after the beginning of the year, the Meng family will send people to Chang'an to find a suitable house for the marriage.
You Chi didn't get married, and Song Weiyi certainly didn't marry You Ling. Coupled with You Huan, Ren Shenzhi, and Bai Zijing, the five scholars were all full of books, and their bodies were dyed with the fragrance of pen and ink.
When the banquet was passed, You Can sat next to Zhuo Zhaojie, and the two of them said a few small words when they were free, You Can said: "I will tell you something, but I am not sure whether to tell my aunt." β
Zhuo Zhaojie smiled and said, "What is it?" β
"Cousin Ren." You Can said softly, "I always feel that he has a lot of worries these days." β
When Zhuo Zhaojie heard this, he glanced at Ren Shenzhi, but saw that although he was dressed in brocade clothes and beautiful 'jade' like everyone else, sitting on the seat, his expression was gentle, but between his eyebrows, there was really a heavy 'color'.
Originally, Ren Shenzhi was a person who was biased towards 'yin' depression, so now this new depressed 'color' is really difficult to detect if you are not careful. Zhuo Zhaojie guessed: "Could it be that you are worried about the meeting? β
"It's going to take two years to try, it's early!" You Can said, "I once, when I was in the moon, I happened to meet Cousin Ren coming back outside the fourth room, and I wanted to greet him, but I caught a glimpse of his sleeve as if he had been vigorously pulled by someone, and it was a gap two or three inches long. But he didn't notice it at all, and walked with an angry faceβI was afraid that it would hurt his heart if I askedβso I only looked at him a few more timesβbut found that he seemed to be injured that time, and the side of his neck was scratched a few times...... There are even smears on the placket, I don't know if it's blood or rouge. β
Zhuo Zhaojie was taken aback: "Scratch? Rouge traces? β
You Can said: "Yes." I'm not sure what the marks are? How did you get those injuries? My aunt was also very busy in those days, and I couldn't bear to disturb it, and after two days, while my cousin was out of the house, I stopped him on the road and asked who bullied him outside...... How so? It was as if he was ashamed of 'Jiao' Jia, but anyway, he 'groaned' for a long time, saying that there was nothing to do, and begging me to keep it secret. β
She sighed, "Last time you came back, we met the concubine in the fifth room and came out of the Shui Otter Pavilion, if there wasn't such a thing, I wouldn't be so worried." In the end, the little aunt is such a son as her cousin, not to mention that her cousin's homework has always been good, if she is delayed like this, it is a pity...... You tell me? β
