In the spring of the seventh year of Xianfeng (1857), it was the spring silk sales season, and the Liu Mansion was filled with joy, and after many years, Shen Yuhui, the wife of the Liu Mansion, was pregnant again and was about to give birth.

Liu Yong, who was established in the year, was 32 years old and had been married to Yuhui for 12 years.

This year, everyone was extremely nervous, thinking about the danger of Yu Huisheng Qiumei. Liu Yong specially went to the church hospital in Hangzhou to ask a famous obstetric doctor to be on standby in Liu's mansion in case of emergency.

Liu Yongniang had been reciting the sutra for three days before sending her son Guanyin, praying that the Bodhisattva would send her a grandson.

Hong Ying took care of Yu Hui for a moment in addition to taking Dong Mei and Qiu Mei, and at lunch, Yu Hui said that she had no appetite, so Hong Ying went to the kitchen to make Yu Hui's favorite dishes, and let her eat a few bites with porridge.

After eating, not long after Yuhui went to bed and lay down, the amniotic fluid broke. The three midwives on standby immediately prepared to deliver the baby, and as soon as they set up the position, the child fell to the ground.

"Congratulations, master, it's the little boy, it's the little boy!" The midwives rushed to report the good news, and Liu Yong, who was guarding the door, was so surprised that he shouted for a heavy reward.

Liu Yongniang was rewarded in the Buddha hall, and she was so happy that she burst into tears, and kowtowed a few times in front of Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Yuhui lay on the bed slightly weakly, Hongying held the child, and the child cried like a kitten in swaddling clothes.

After the midwife cleaned up and withdrew, Liu Yong and Liu Yongniang came in to see Yuhui's mother and son.

Hong Yingdao: Old lady, Brother Yong, you see, the child has clear eyebrows!

Liu Yongniang took the child, looked at it, and said happily: Looking at him like this, it looks exactly like his father when he was a child, giggling and laughing.

Liu Yongle said authentically: Could it be that I was like a kitten when I was a child?

Liu Yongniang said: No, look at your current appearance like a dog, you are not as sophisticated as our grandson when you were born!

Yu Hui said: This child is thinner than Dongmei and Qiumei when they were born, I don't know if it's good to raise.

Liu Yongniang said: Don't be afraid, this time I'm afraid that you won't have enough milk when you're old, so I specially invited two nurses to feed him!

Hong Ying smiled: Sister, don't worry about it, take care of your body during confinement, the child has me! Guaranteed that he will be like a piggy in less than a month!

Liu Yong echoed: Yes, you just take care of it, he has Hong Ying to take care of it!

Yuhui asked: Have you thought of the child's name?

Liu Yong said: The child is from the An generation, and he lacks water in the five elements, so he will be called An Lan.

Anlan is about to be full moon, Liu Yongniang and Liu Yong discussed: Now your business is getting bigger and bigger, in addition to the silk industry, the docks and real estate you have invested in are very prosperous, and Anlan is my eldest grandson, so his full moon wine must be done in a big way, and he will have dozens of tables.

Liu Yong said: Mom, what do you mean my son understands, but have you thought about it, now other provinces are making trouble with Changmao, officers and soldiers are constantly fighting, and more and more refugees have fled to Nanxun. At this juncture, it is not advisable to operate on a large scale, and it is better to keep a low profile.

Liu Yongniang suddenly thought that a large family was robbed by refugees a few days ago, and she was frightened, so she no longer insisted.

Liu Yong said again: I have discussed with Yuhui, and I will build a tent in Nanzha for half a month to give porridge, and I should accumulate blessings for Anlan. On the day of the full moon, call your loved ones for a meal!

Liu Yongniang looked forward to this baby grandson for ten years, and she wanted to take advantage of the full moon wine to raise her eyebrows, but her son refused to do it, she was unwilling, so she ran to Yuhui to complain.

Yuhui hurriedly helped her mother-in-law sit down, and said softly: Mom, your son is not reluctant to give your grandson a banquet, we have a saying in the countryside, the child has been born since he was born, and the blessings of this life are limited.

Yuhui smiled again: Mom, Dongmei's father sprinkled money and porridge to accumulate blessings for Anlan, that is the real love for the child!

On the day of the full moon of Anlan, Liu Fu set up a soup kitchen in Nanshan Rice Bran, and gave porridge to the refugees who fled to Nanxun for half a month. Speaking of it, it is a shortage of soldiers, and there are Taiping troops in many places, and Nanxun does not have much impact except for the prosperity of the past.

I heard that the Liu family gave porridge and accumulated blessings for their young son, and many large families, thinking of their son's illness and weakness, also wanted to follow suit, and they were not far behind, and they have been picking up the dragon one after another, and it has not been broken for several months. The Liu family will give porridge for half a month, and we will give porridge for a month to accumulate more blessings for the children.

Liu Yong and Yu Hui have been married for 12 years. The 32-year-old middle-aged child inevitably feels very happy.

On the same day of Anlan's full moon, the Liu family still came to congratulate a little close relatives and friends. Even Gu Fuchang also came, and the couple brought Yuhui's father, Shen Yonglin, to come here. Qiu Xiancha's wife, Xu, also came over to congratulate and give gifts.

Because Qiu Xiancha's wife Xu's first child, Yuhui, made him a gold collar, and as a return gift, Xu also prepared a gold collar for An Lan.

Xu came to Liu's house to give gifts, Yuhui asked Hong Ying to avoid it, Hong Ying refused, she said: I remember the Qiu family's love, I don't remember the Qiu family's people. If I avoid it, it will seem that I have a ghost in my heart, and I am still thinking about something.

Xu also knew that Qiu Xiancha originally wanted Hong Ying, but a slap didn't make a sound.

Xu wanted to see An Lan, so Hong Ying generously hugged An Lan over and handed it to Xu to hold.

An Lan recognized his life and cried desperately.

took An Lan and said with a smile: I'm sorry, young grandma, the child doesn't see the living, so he recognizes the birth.

Xu handed the child to Hong Ying and looked at Hong Ying with four eyes. stared at Hong Ying and glanced at it, worthy of her reputation, such a beautiful woman, Nanxun Town is really one of the few, no wonder Qiu Xiancha always mentions it. smiled and said: Isn't this Miss Hong Ying? looks like a flower like jade, and its name is well deserved.

Hong Ying blushed and said: The little girl is, the young grandmother has won the prize.

It just so happened that it was estimated that Xiao Anlan was hungry and crying. So, Hong Ying hugged An Lan to go to the nurse, so she withdrew from the room.

Xu smiled and said to Yuhui: There is no cat in the world that does not steal. Such a beautiful old girl is placed at home, and the young lady is not afraid of giving birth to right and wrong?

Yuhui smiled and said: Born right and wrong? Miss Hong Ying, I am like a brother to her, and I wish she had a good home. I have only now given birth to a son, and for more than 10 years, I have wanted them to have a right or wrong, but it backfired.

Xu smiled and said to Yuhui: The young lady is so magnanimous and admired.

Yu Hui smiled and said: Women, they are originally to have children, you see, that big family does not have three wives and four concubines. If he must marry again, there is nothing you can do to stop it.

Yu Hui's words made Xu a little uneasy. I thought to myself: Is the one at home still thinking about the outside?

Xu said that there was something at home, and said goodbye to Yuhui and returned home.

In the living room, Liu Yong was chatting with Gu Fuchang.

Gu Fuchang said: Although the world is so not peaceful, Nanxun also has to go back, after all, the foundation is still in Nanxun, and now that Chunsi has been acquired, I also want to go back to see.

Liu Yong said: Yes, you can't ignore it over there, fortunately, the family members are already in Shanghai, and it is convenient for men to come and go.

Gu Fuchang wants to leave. Liu Yong said: Father-in-law Gu will leave after having a light meal, anyway, my father-in-law is here today, just a few people.

Gu Fuchang laughed and said: Childe Full Moon, you are giving porridge in Nanxun, and we are eating and drinking here, it doesn't look like it, let's talk about it next time.

Liu Yong sent Gu Fuchang to the door.

Alone.
