On the third day of the child's birth, a bathing ceremony is held, and relatives and friends are gathered to wish the baby good luck. The first is to wash away the filth and eliminate disasters; The second is to pray for auspiciousness and seek blessings, and to have peace and auspiciousness.

Although Zhu Jintang did not catch up with the birth of the child, it was not easy for him to catch up with the child's "washing three".

Since the post is prepared beforehand, you just need someone to write it and send it to every place.

Shen Yuechen didn't bother others to ghostwrite, and wrote the post himself.

Mother Wu knew how happy she was in her heart, and she didn't dissuade her, just quietly studied ink for her, looked at her slightly shiny face, and was secretly happy for her happiness.

It's only been a day's work, and the young lady looks like a different person, with bright eyes, crooked eyebrows, and a sweet smile, without the slightest postpartum weakness and fatigue, and the whole person looks radiant.

This is all because the eldest young master came back safely. Although he was injured, he was free to die. In Miss's heart, this will be able to settle down peacefully.

Shen Yuechen neatly took the written post to Wu's mother, and Wu's mother blessed her body slightly, and said, "I'll go and send it to the eldest lady." ”

The eldest lady is discussing with the Chai family how to receive visitors, and how to clean up the yard?

Since He Yalin entered the door, the Zhu family has not had a happy event for a long time. Therefore, the yard in front of it needs to be cleaned and tidyed up again, and the manpower at home is also a problem.

A month ago, the eldest lady quietly sent away more than a dozen subordinates, all of whom had just entered the door for less than a year, stumbling and gossiping, and loved to chew their tongues and gossip, so Li Shi simply sold them all in one breath and sent them out. As the saying goes, not seeing is not pure, and hearing is not clear. Li didn't want to be disturbed by those ignorant people, and he didn't want Shen Yuechen to be sad too.

However, in this way, Xiyuan will not have enough manpower. Li had to borrow a few people from the Chai family to use them.

The Chai family is naturally willing to help, although it is a happy event for the long house, but seeing Zhu Jintang come back alive, she, as an elder, still feels a little relieved in her heart.

There are still two days left before the end of the year. The old lady means to make the family lively in advance, so that the whole family can have a good time, and let the people in Texas know that the eldest young master of the Zhu family is safe and sound, and the Zhu family has added another son, which can be described as double happiness.

In other words, although the Zhu family was seized the position of the richest man in Texas by the Jia family, it is still gaining momentum, in terms of strength, background, and connections, all of which are beyond the reach of others.

The ceremony of "washing three" should be set up outside the delivery room, and the grandmother who is in charge of the ceremony will support the overall situation.

Shen Yuechen gave birth for only two days, and then walked on the ground, which was logically unruly.

The old lady was distressed, knowing that she was enduring the pain and staying by Zhu Jintang's side all day and night.

Before the ceremony of "washing three" began, Mrs. Shen hurriedly arrived and brought large bags of gift supplements.

The old lady's mood was a little excited, and as soon as she saw Shen Yuechen, she stepped forward and hugged her, patted her back gently, and said in a choked tone: "Great." That's great! ”

This sentence is good, and it contains too many emotions.

In Mrs. Shen's opinion, Zhu Jintang was the one who climbed back from the ghost gate. And this baby son came in time, the mother is poor and the son is expensive, Shen Yuechen works hard, and always lets himself rely on the rest of his life.

Shen Yuechen also shed a few tears with her, but then was persuaded by Li Shi, "Today is a big day, we shouldn't cry." ”

When the grandfather and grandson heard this, they stopped crying with a smile.

Mrs. Shen was also anxious to meet her great-grandson, and Li personally carried the child to her.

The old lady lowered her head and looked at it carefully, and only after half a sound did she say with a serious face: "This little baby is like a mold carved out of the same mold as the moon dust." ”

One person looked at the same look, Mrs. Shen felt like moon dust, but Li Shi felt that she missed her son Jintang, so she was busy nodding the child's little face, and gestured: "This child's facial features look exactly the same as when Jintang was born." ”

Although there are differences of opinion, they will not hurt each other. When you say something to me, it seems to be lively.

After seeing the child, Mrs. Shen went over to see Zhu Jintang in person.

Seeing that he was injured like that, he couldn't get out of bed, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red again.

Old Lady Shen stroked his hand and said with emotion: "Jintang, you have to get better as soon as possible." This family is old and young, and they all have to rely on you in the future. ”

After this incident, the old lady knew that Zhu Jintang was a reliable person. Thinking about how he returned to the Zhu family with this injury,

Zhu Jintang nodded slightly, and replied softly: "Don't worry, I will be fine." ”

Old Lady Shen nodded again and again, clapped his hand again, and sighed before getting up and leaving.

An incense table has been set up in the outer hall, and the statues of the gods are enshrined. Incense burners, wax skewers, ingots, yellow coins, thousands of sheets, etc., as well as all kinds of cakes and fruits, as offerings, bowls and bowls are full of soaring.

The "bed man" and "bed mother" were the first to bow down, but Shen Yuechen's body was not happy, so Wu Ma saluted instead.

Wu's mother was in front, and the midwife's grandmother was behind, and the two of them kowtowed to incense one by one, with a pious face.

Everyone watched quietly, and they were also holding their breath, silently reciting many auspicious words in their hearts.

After the worship is over, it is time to start the "washing three" with the child.

The copper basin and bath soup have been prepared, and the people of the Zhu family add water and things to the basin in turn according to the order of the elder and the youngest.

As the head of the family, Old Man Zhu was naturally the first to add. He smiled and added a spoonful of water to the copper basin and put a handful of gold and silver bills, implying wealth.

Mrs. Zhu also got clear water and gold and silver bills, and when she arrived at Zhu Feng, she replaced them with happy fruits such as lychees and longan, and Li Shi chose the same happy fruits as him. When she arrived at Shen Yuechen, she first added a spoonful of water, and then added a hairpin inlaid with gold and white jade to the basin.

After all the additions were made, the grandmother stirred the water in it with her hands, and began to dip the wormwood on the child's forehead a few times.

The grandmother's mouth kept chanting words, and most of them were auspicious words.

The baby was wearing only a small belly pocket, nestled in her grandmother's arms, not crying or making trouble, only with her eyes open, and fixed on her appearance there.

Seeing this, the old man couldn't help but smile and said: "This child is bold, other children cry, but he doesn't cry." ”

It was the first time that Shen Yuechen had seen what "washing three" was, and she couldn't help but feel a little distressed when she saw the child being tossed and tossed by the grandmother who gave birth. Fortunately, the child didn't cry, and if she did, she would not be able to sit still.

After the "washing three", Shen Yuechen took the child in his arms and hugged him to Zhu Jintang, asking him to take a closer look.

The child is still young, and his appearance is not clear, so it is difficult to say who he looks like.

Li Shi also stood up and said, "The children who were born are all like this. After the full moon, it can grow a little longer and see the appearance. If you look closely, this child's eyebrows and eyes are almost exactly the same as when you were a child, standard. ”

Zhu Jintang looked down at his son when he heard this, and smiled contentedly. Seeing that he was too small, he didn't dare to reach out and touch it, so he could only look at it a few more times with his eyes. Because his body was covered with medicinal cloths, he had a strong smell of plasters on his body, which was a little pungent.

When the child heard this, he suddenly began to cry.

Shen Yuechen hurriedly coaxed softly, and Zhu Jintang said helplessly, "Quickly take him away." Don't let your child smell the bitter smell of the medicine. ”

Not to mention the child, even he feels uncomfortable smelling it himself.

Mother Wu stepped forward to take the child, comforted Zhu Jintang and said, "The little young master is not disgusted with the smell of medicine, but he is distressed about the eldest young master." Father and son are connected, if you are uncomfortable, the child will also feel distressed. ”

When Zhu Jintang heard this, his mood really improved a lot.

Shen Yuechen raised her head and smiled at Wu Ma Yingying, full of gratitude.

Wu's mother gave the child to the second elder of the Zhu family.

The two old men were all smiling, and Zhu Feng and Li Shi took the first step and went to the front yard to entertain the people who came to say goodbye.

The old lady took advantage of her joy and proposed to the old man: "Today is a good day, so let the old man name the child." ”

Brother Ming'er's name was given by the old man according to the family tree.

Although Shen Yuechen is a step-room, it is also the main house, and this child should be a legitimate sister-in-law like Brother Ming, so this name should be given by the old man.

Old Man Zhu nodded with a smile, stroked his gray beard, and said in a slight voice: "I think it's okay to take the word "Xuan", Zhu Qingxuan." After speaking, he suddenly instructed the maids to prepare paper and ink, and then took up a pen and wrote these three words on the paper.

"The word "Xuan" means warmth, this child came in time, not only warmed the hearts of our family, but also urged Jintang to come back so well and reunite with our family for the New Year. So let's call it Zhu Qingxuan. ”

Zhu Qingxuan...... Shen Yuechen silently recited it in his heart a few times, only to feel that his heart also became warm.

The word old man was very well chosen, wonderful.

Xuan, the meaning of warmth, I hope he can grow up quickly and become a child who is as warm as the sun.

Shen Yuechen's face hurriedly got up and saluted the old man to thank him, but the old man smiled and waved his hand: "What are you thanking for as a family?" It should be my old bone, thank you, thank you for giving birth to a warm child for the Zhu family. ”

When Shen Yuechen heard this, two lines of tears rolled straight down from his powder, and he felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

After a while, Old Man Zhu ordered someone to take the old family tree, and then personally picked up the pen and ink again and wrote the name Zhu Qingxuan.

……

In the spacious flower hall, delicate and bright lanterns are hung high, illuminating the hall as if it were daytime.

The Zhu family hasn't been so lively for a long time.

From time to time, the maids lifted the curtain with cotton to serve food and wine to the masters, all of them were neat and busy.

Old Man Zhu was in a very good mood, everyone was drunk if he was not drunk, and after two or three glasses of wine, his face turned red, as if he was drunk.

The old lady glanced at him helplessly, and hurriedly waved her hand, signaling the maid behind her who was holding a pot and pouring wine, and stepped back for the time being.

Who knows, the old man took the first step, took the wine jug and said, "Madam, it's rare to be happy, don't look at me today." ”

When the old lady heard this, she could only go with him.

The children all fell asleep in the second room, and Zhu Ying and Brother Ming both insisted that Mama Yang wanted to stay with Brother Xuan.

The little milk doll is white and tender, with the fragrance of milk, which is the most lovely.

Zhu Ying couldn't help but lean in and kiss Brother Xuan'er's face again and again, kissing loudly.

Seeing this, Mama Yang smiled from ear to ear, and only said, "Miss be careful, don't wake him up." ”

When Zhu Ying heard this, she moved more cautiously, tapped Brother Xuan'er's fingertips with her fingertips, and then covered her mouth and snickered at Brother Ming'er, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, like a crescent moon.

Brother Ming lowered his voice and said, "You always laugh, it's time for him to wake up." ”

He said so, but after a while, he also came up, touched his brother's little face for a while, touched his little hand for a while, and pursed the corners of his mouth to steal fun.

After Zhu Ying looked at Brother Xuan for a long time, she suddenly said, "Brother Xuan is so cute." When I grow up, I want a cute little doll like him. ”

When Brother Ming heard this, he replied to her: "Then you have to marry yourself first." ”

When the maids heard this, they lowered their heads and snickered.

Who knows, Zhu Ying continued: "Brother, can I marry you?" That way, I don't have to leave my parents and my younger siblings. ”

Brother Ming was full of helplessness when he heard this, and when he saw that there were still so many people in the house, he couldn't explain it carefully to her, so he only shook his head and said, "I can't marry you, I'm your younger brother." ”

Zhu Ying became more and more puzzled when she heard this, grabbed his sleeve and asked, "Why can't you marry?" You're my favorite brother. ”

"I just can't get married." Brother Ming's milky voice was full of impatience.

"Why can't you marry?"

"No why."

"Brother, why?"

"Oops, because you're so ugly!"

“……”

Zhu Ying wiped her tears with an aggrieved face, jumped out of bed crying, and ran into Wu's mother's arms. After a while, he cried like a tearful man.

Wu's mother coaxed her to ask what was wrong, and she heard Zhu Ying sobbing and replying: "My brother said I was ugly......"

Mother Wu couldn't cry or laugh when she heard this, and looked into the house, only to see Brother Ming sitting on the bed, nothing happened, just staring at her younger brother on the bed.

touched his little hand for a while, and then made a quilt for him, as if he already had the appearance of being an older brother.

No matter how young a child is, once he becomes an older brother, he will become different.

Looking at his appearance, he seems to like this younger brother very much.

It's good to like it, be a pair of happy brothers affectionately, and then grow up and live a safe life.

Mother Wu walked around the outside with Zhu Ying in her arms, comforting him softly, looking at the brightly lit courtyard, pursing the corners of her mouth slightly, thinking, thanks to the blessings of these children, the Zhu family will definitely be happy and lively this year.

That night, Zhu Jintang and Shen Yuechen rested together in the east room, and the two of them lay on the warm bed together, covered with a soft quilt, and interlocked their fingers in the quilt, quietly enjoying the long-lost peace and warmth.

The warmth that came from Zhu Jintang's palm warmly surrounded Shen Yuechen.

Sleepiness came for a while, but Shen Yuechen was reluctant to fall asleep like this.

I don't know how many times I've dreamed of such a scene before, and it's too many to count.

After such a long wait and loneliness, she almost lost the courage to dream.

In the days of waiting for Zhu Jintang, no matter what the weather outside the window was, whether it was sunny or gloomy, her heart was the same cold and gloomy. At this moment, it's the opposite.

Because Zhu Jintang is by her side, and he is the warmest existence in the world, her heart is warm, which is gratitude.

I am grateful to God for letting a miracle happen, let the child be safe, and let Zhu Jintang return to her side again......

For nearly eight months, this may be the most solid and restful night for Shen Yuechen.

In her dream, she suddenly had a feeling of spring blossoming, and all this was because of Zhu Jintang.

When I opened my eyes again, it was the next morning.

The sun was just right, shining warmly on her body, Shen Yuechen sighed softly and turned around, but saw that Zhu Jintang was also awake, looking at her quietly, his eyes shimmering, and he was extremely focused.

Shen Yuechen was slightly stunned, hurriedly rubbed her eyes, and said softly, "Did the concubine touch you?" ”

The wounds on his body are the most untouchable.

Although she thinks she sleeps honestly, she is also worried that she will accidentally touch him.

Although Zhu Jintang's eyes were black and shiny, they were faintly red and bloodshot, and it seemed that the wounds on his body still hurt so much that he couldn't sleep steadily.

Seeing that he didn't reply to his words, Shen Yuechen hurriedly leaned over, probed his forehead and said, "Is there something uncomfortable?" Got a fever? ”

Zhu Jintang still didn't speak, just looked at her fixedly, looking attentively and attentively, mixed with a little incredibly confused......

Shen Yuechen was a little anxious, and she didn't know what happened to him suddenly.

"Jintang...... Don't scare me......"

Zhu Jintang finally reacted, he smiled and said, "I'm fine, I just can't believe it." ”

Shen Yuechen leaned close to his face and asked, "Don't believe what?" ”

Zhu Jintang retracted his gaze, his eyes condensed slightly, and said: "All this, I don't believe that I really came back, I don't believe that you are by my side, and you gave birth to a son." ”

During those days of being controlled by others, Zhu Jintang opened his eyes every day, not knowing where he was...... Is it on earth or in hell...... Is it alive or dead......

Every day, I was locked up in a dirty house, doing the hardest and most tiring work, and if I was not careful, I would be beaten and wounded, and the old injuries would be added to the new ones, and the pain would make people unable to sleep every night.

The entourage around him, dead and wounded, in the end, he was the only one left, and he persevered with that little bit of strong desire to survive.

So, when he recalled it, he still felt shuddering.

Shen Yuechen seemed to understand something from his face, but he didn't want to ask him.

She wanted to know what had happened to him, but she didn't dare to ask more, not wanting him to recall the bloody scenes.
