Chapter 2 The Hou Mansion welcomes the little girl
The servants in the room were busy wiping the body of the sleeping Jiang family, changing the dirty bed sheets and bedding, disposing of the filth from the production process, and burning incense to remove the smell of blood in the house.
Outside, everyone rushed to see the baby in swaddling clothes.
Mrs. Li of Heshun Marquis has never held a girl in her life. This time, let her take the lead.
Like holding the world's most fragile treasure, Lee held it carefully.
A small lump in the swaddling clothes, revealing only a fleshy, red face. The little baby slept very sweetly, and his eyes were firmly closed, like two threads; The two eyebrows are like two crooked crescents; The small mouth moves, as if chewing food, and sometimes "poof" spit twice.
From the eyebrows and eyes of a little baby, it looks like a delicate little girl. The corners of Li's mouth couldn't be flattened no matter how he put it.
"Mother, you also let us hug the little girl. We can't wait. Jiang's two concubines and Xiao Nannan's two aunts complained because they could only watch and couldn't experience the fun of holding a girl.
"You tall can still look at your sister, I can't see my feet, can't you let me?" The one who spoke was the seventh in the current ranking, Wang Yuting, the third-room sister-in-law. He is only five years old.
"Go, stay with the little. Why are you here to join in the fun? "Thinking that he is already a big child, he is only ten years old, and he is ranked sixth, and Wang Yuyang, the second-in-law of the house, squeezes Wang Laoqi aside.
"Be careful, don't squeeze Brother Ting'er." Wang Yuxun, who spoke, is the third brother of the newborn baby, and the concubine of the Hou Mansion is ranked fourth. It's twelve years old, and it's relatively mature.
"You guys be quiet, don't make noise about your sister." Wang Yupu, the second brother of the little baby, the third son of the Hou Mansion, is 14 years old this year. From this sentence, it can be seen that this is an authentic sister control.
"Mother, I, who is a father, hurriedly threw down the old man and rushed back, can't you let me hug me?" The child's father, as soon as he entered the house, after giving a gift to his mother, he always wanted to hold his little daughter, but his mother hugged his daughter tighter.
Wang Ziyi, and the prince of Shunhou, were looking at their old lady with very resentful eyes, and they kept complaining.
"Go and go, just because you rushed over in the dust, I won't let you hug you. The little girl is so delicate, and you are not afraid that the dust outside will stain our little girl. What are you doing so close? After saying that, Li also turned around and stayed away from Wang Ziyi.
"That's right. Mother, it's still your old man who has experience. I'm going to shower and change my clothes. After patting the sycophants, Wang Shizi immediately entered the main house and instructed his subordinates to fetch water.
When the child's father left, the rest of the crowd began a new round of complaints.
Just when a few people were making a fuss, the head of the Wang family, who rarely came to the eldest daughter-in-law's courtyard, the old marquis Wang, rushed over.
Several children and grandchildren immediately greeted them. Looking at the lively crowd, the old marquis Wang felt very satisfied.
Okay, full of children and grandchildren. Now that I have a little girl again, I should be content in this life.
Because of his arrival, the crowd of onlookers scattered. This directly opened the Avenue of Stars to the old wife for Mr. Wang.
The old marquis Wang, who had never held a child in his life, snatched his little granddaughter from his old wife in a very unprofessional way, and immediately smiled.
The little baby frowned and chirped twice because he was uncomfortable. If you want to express your dissatisfaction, think about it carefully, or forget it.
Crying is also quite physically demanding.
I just closed my eyes and listened to them.
The old marquis Wang sat on the chair that the servants had prepared with the baby in his arms. While looking at his little granddaughter, he said proudly: "In my opinion, our little girl is the most beautiful baby I have ever seen in my life." "What a beautiful little guy is, it's small everywhere.
The old wife Li is a master of demolition: "Forget it, you have seen a few newborn babies in total." Calculated carefully, our little girl is the first. When the Jiang family just gave birth to our eldest grandson Zege'er, you didn't take a look until the full moon. ”
Wang Yuze, the eldest son of the prince's righteous son, glanced at the old marquis with disdain.
Come on, I always talk about how I was when I was born. Now it's exposed. I was young and ignorant when I was bullied, wasn't he?
"Ahem." Listening to his old wife's demolition, the old marquis Wang coughed twice in embarrassment, and then simply diverted from the topic. continued to praise the little guy in his arms: "Our little girl is more angry than her brother and her brothers." This time, my grandfather's set of ice jade chess pieces was able to keep it, and he also won back all the things that my grandfather had lost in the past ten years. Can they? In addition, I won a lot of other jackpots. Listen, you don't have to fight about these, they will all be left to our little girl as a dowry in the future. When I told the eldest daughter-in-law, I kept it for the little girl. ”
The baby in the swaddling clothes really wanted to ask weakly: Grandpa, is your dowry a little early? We've just been born.
"Okay, let the eldest daughter-in-law keep it. I have a lot of stuff for my little granddaughter. ”
Seeing that Mrs. Hou Li was a motivated person, she was definitely not to be left behind, and immediately expressed her position.
To say that the Wang family's Xiaoba feels that it is too early to save a dowry, no one here dares to agree. Which of the daughters of wealthy families in ancient times didn't start preparing a dowry from the moment she was born?
"Mother, I also have a dowry for Xiao Nannan. Alas! I don't have the life to give birth to a daughter. Just give it to our little girl. "It was the little guy's second aunt, Wu, who spoke.
When the in-laws have said so, let's be a daughter-in-law. Anyway, it's all giving, and now it's okay to settle in front of the second elder, isn't it?
Unwilling to be reluctant, Liu's interface said: "I also have a gift for Xiao Nannan." However, I don't admit it as quickly as you did, second sister-in-law. I'm only in my twenties, and I still have a chance. Today, with the blessing of the little girl, maybe it won't be long before I will have a daughter. Little girl, you must bring a sister to the third aunt, the third aunt depends on you. ”
Gotcha, did we rob the job of sending Guanyin? Do you still care about giving birth to boys and girls?
But the third aunt, I really want to tell you that the birth of a boy or a girl is mainly decided by the man, and the person you rely on can only be my third uncle.
"Yes, now that we have a little girl, there will definitely be more baby girls in the future. Second daughter-in-law, you can also fight for me. Li looked at the newborn little guy and suddenly became ambitious again.
A big family like them and the Shunhou Mansion can't do without a son-in-law. But if you only have a son-in-law and no daughter-in-law, then what's the point?
In the future, other people's families will have concubines sent to the palace. They don't, isn't that even more suspicious of the royal family?
In the future, other families will have concubines and other princes' families to marry. They don't, how can they advance and retreat together with other people's families, and share the same breath?
Concubine? The concubine can only be small for the prince's family. The concubine can only be the wife of a small family.
Although the old lady's idea is extreme, it is indeed the most practical, the reason why the ancient aristocracy attached importance to their concubines.
"Grandfather, let's take a look at my sister too. We've all waited so long. When the young grandsons saw that their grandfather was happy, they simply dared to put forward their own ideas.
A few tall brothers have just seen it. The young fifth, sixth, and seventh children can only be coaxed blindly in the crowd just now.
They want to hug their sister like their grandfather.
Seeing that so many people were robbing their little granddaughter, the old lady of Heshun Hou Li couldn't help but say loudly: "Where did you come from, go back." Xiao Nan is still too young to bear you tossing so much. The little girl is also tired, let the nurse take her down and rest well. Also, so many of us are piled up here with the eldest daughter-in-law, it's too disagreeable, let the eldest daughter-in-law sleep well, don't make noise about the eldest daughter-in-law. ”
The nurse stepped forward and looked at the old marquis. Seeing that the old marquis Wang did not object, he boldly stretched out his hands.
Old Marquis Wang thought to himself: What the old wife said is also right, her little girl is still too young to withstand such a toss. Simply agree with it in action.
After the little girl was taken down by the nurse, everyone dispersed unwillingly.
During the whole process, except for the Wang family's Xiaoba snorting twice when Mrs. Wang was uncomfortable, she behaved very well from beginning to end.
