Chapter 101: Liu Chenggan was born
In the living room, Liu Yong was talking to Hong Ying.
Liu Yong smiled and said: As Mrs. expected, Wu'er strongly opposed the move. An Jianger also said that cheating in the exam room is no different from being a thief.
Hong Ying also smiled and said: I said, all the children of the Liu family are good. I believe that they will all be able to gain fame by their ingenuity.
Liu Yong also said: Let them try it first this time, it doesn't matter if they don't come out, how can they succeed once? Besides, the son-in-law Xikun was lifted, and the cabinet was a scholar, and the two trial rites were not sold, so what could I do?
Hong Ying sighed: Yes, being an official is not right, and it is not as good as an ordinary Li Min. smiled again and said: An Lan and they have been married for many years, although they are loving husband and wife, they have not seen Yanyan pregnant so far. A few days ago, I also asked Lang Zhong to come and diagnose her pulse, and I prepared a few pairs of medicines, but it still didn't work.
Liu Yong smiled and said: Giving birth to a child is your woman's business, what's the use of telling me? You just care.
Hong Ying said again: In addition, the old lady's mourning period has passed. There is still some time before they take the exam, it is better to handle An Jiang's marriage first, not to mention that Miss Xiaoying has also reached the age of leaving the cabinet, if a year and a half, she can give birth to a boy and a half girl for the Liu family, and it will also add some joy to the family.
Liu Yong smiled and said: I look at you, your son and daughter haven't hugged enough, and you want to hug your grandson again.
Hong Ying smiled: It's not that I'm insatiable, it's a natural law to pass on the ancestry. What's more, they have all reached the age of marriage, which is also the responsibility of parents. When there is no movement in my family, it will attract gossip from others, saying that parents only care about making money and do not care about the important affairs of their children.
Liu Yongdao: Hey, that's what Madame said. Then you go and choose an auspicious day for the zodiac, and then inform the Jin family.
Hong Yingdao: I'll just arrange it.
......
Liu Anjiang's marriage is scheduled for the 16th day of the first month.
Just after the Lantern Festival, in early spring and February, the cold is not over. But the fields in the south of the Yangtze River have long been full of spring.
An Jiang, the second son of the Liu family, is about to get married, and the Liu family's compound is full of lights, jubilant and lively.
......
After Xiao Ying passed the door, in March, Xiao Ying and the maid Rose were looking at the peach blossoms in the yard, when they suddenly felt nauseous and wanted to vomit. Seeing this, Rose asked with concern: Second young grandmother, where are you uncomfortable? Do you want to report to Mrs. Lang Zhong and ask Lang Zhong to come and have a look?
Xiao Ying blushed and shook her head. Dao: It's okay, let's just go back to the room and rest.
Back in the room, Xiaoying fell down and fell asleep.
Rose was afraid that the second young grandmother would really be sick, and if she didn't report it, she would be blamed, so she still found Hong Ying while Xiaoying was asleep. She said to Hong Ying: Madam, the second young grandmother may be in poor health, she is asleep.
Hong Ying asked: Oh, where is she unwell?
Rose said: Just now I was looking at flowers in the yard with the second young grandmother, and the second young grandmother felt nauseous for a while and wanted to vomit.
Hong Ying was the one who came over after all, and asked in surprise: Then you didn't notice that the second young grandmother had not been red for a long time when you poured the toilet?
Rose pouted, "I'm afraid it's a month or two."
Hong Ying was overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly sent someone to invite Lang Zhong.
Lang Zhong checked Xiaoying's pulse, smiled and said to Hong Ying: Congratulations to Madame, the young lady is happy.
Hong Ying smiled in surprise and said: Thank you, sir, thank you, sir.
Lang Zhong said again: I will prescribe a few pairs of tocolytic pills here, so that the young lady can take good care of herself.
Hong Ying gave Lang Zhong a reward and thanked him a thousand times.
Hong Ying also specially said to Rose: You have to serve the second young grandmother well, don't let her be tired, just say what you want to eat.
Hearing that Xiaoying was pregnant, the Liu family was overjoyed. But Yeon-yeon felt a lot of pressure. Although the Liu family didn't gossip much, they always felt ashamed of the Liu family and had a sense of guilt. As the saying goes: there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great. Fortunately, I am still young, but fortunately, my husband is knowledgeable and reasonable, and he does not mess with flowers and grass outside, and he also cares for himself.
At night, Yeon-yeon and An Lan leaned on the bed.
An Lan saw Yanyan's preoccupied appearance, and asked with concern: Seeing that the good wife is depressed, as if there is something on her mind?
Yanyan sighed: It's strange that my stomach is not angry, we have been married for a few years, and we haven't seen any movement in my stomach for a long time. Is that sorry for you?
An Lan asked in amazement: Why does the good wife think so much, and has she heard any gossip?
Yeonyan said: Not really. Giving birth to children for the husband is also the duty of the wife. You see, the eldest brother has only been married for a few months, and the younger brother and sister are already pregnant. In contrast, I feel guilty for my wife.
An Lan smiled: That's a good wife who is too worried. The younger sibling is pregnant, which is indeed a happy event for the Liu family. You and I should be happy, and we don't have to compare ourselves. Besides, we are young, and we have children late. I think it's not too late for me to get a son.
Yanyan pouted and said, I'm thinking, in another year or two, if there is no movement, the husband might as well continue to have another room, and there is a man and a woman who will have an explanation for the Liu family.
An Lan smiled: A good wife doesn't have to worry too much. I am a childhood sweetheart with a good wife, and it is the luck of my life to combine with a good wife. Even if my wife has no children in my life, I have no complaints. As he spoke, he hugged Yeon-yeon in his arms.
......
It was after the Spring Festival in 1881, and Xiaoying successfully gave birth to a boy, named Chenggan, the word Zhenyi, and the name Hanyi.
Xiaoying gave birth to a big fat grandson for the Liu family, Hong Ying was ecstatic, and Liu Yong was also smiling.
Hong Ying smiled and said to Liu Yong: Master, adding a grandson to the family is a great joy for my Liu family, and it should be celebrated.
Liu Yong asked: Madam, how do you say to celebrate?
Hong Ying said with a smile, when the moon is full, it is normal for people to set up a few tables and invite relatives and friends to have a lively time.
Liu Yong was very calm. Dao: To give birth to a grandson is to accumulate virtue on the ancestors. I also felt joy in my heart. Your family just gave birth to a grandson, so you have such a big feast, not to mention spending money on your own family, you have to ask relatives and friends to break the bill, why bother? In my opinion, it is better to take the money from the full moon wine and donate to the disaster area, but it has saved a few people, which is also to accumulate more virtue for the next generation, so that the grandchildren can grow up healthily. It is better to burn incense from afar, than to be blessed with near.
Hong Ying said helplessly: Master, you always think differently from ordinary people, and you have nothing to say as a wife.
Knowing that Xiaoying gave birth to a big fat boy, Jin Tong and his wife naturally came to visit their daughter and little nephew with gifts after three dynasties.
As soon as she entered the door, Mrs. Jin smiled and said to Hong Ying: Oh, my mother, what a blessing, the day my daughter was born, I wanted to come, and someone persuaded me that there was no full three dynasties, and I was afraid that the baby was tender, so I finally survived until today. My little baby nephew, okay?
Hong Ying said with a smile: Thanks to your grandparents and grandmothers, children and adults are very good.
At this time, the maid brought out sweet tea and invited Jin Tong and his wife to use tea.
Mrs. Kim opened the package, and there were food, use, small clothes, and gold necklaces. Said with a smile: Oh, I don't want to be a grandmother, a little bit of meaning, please smile.
Hong Ying said with a smile: That's going to cost my grandparents and grandparents.
At this time, the maid brought out sweet tea and invited Jin Tong and his wife to use tea.
Mrs. Jin smiled: Let's drink tea slowly, let me take a look at my little baby first, and it's not too late to drink it again.
Mrs. Kim was escorted into the inner room by Hong Ying.
Generally speaking, men do not enter the delivery room. I heard that my in-laws came to visit the confinement, and Liu Yong came out.
When Jin Tong saw Liu Yong coming out, he got up and waved his hands at Liu Yong, and said with a smile: "Father-in-law, congratulations."
Liu Yong smiled and said: Joy and joy. You sit, you sit.
At this time, Mrs. Jin also saw her little nephew come out, and said with a smile: "Oh, that little baby's eyes look exactly the same as Yanyan's when she was a child."
Everyone was chatting happily.
In the end, Jin Tong said with a smile: I don't know when the full moon wine of my father-in-law and grandson will be arranged? You have to let Yu Wu know in advance, so you can be prepared.
Liu Yong said seriously: Originally, I also wanted to discuss with you, but I thought my grandson would not do the full moon wine.
Jin Tong was taken aback and asked, "Why don't you do it?"
Mrs. Jin also interjected on the side: How can there be no reason not to celebrate such a happy event?
Liu Yong said solemnly: Giving birth to children is a common thing in thousands of families. The Liu family just added a grandson, if the prince is added, then it will be repaid? It's not that I can't afford it, it's not that I'm stingy. I don't think that's necessary. I want to use the money for my grandson's full moon wine to help the disaster and accumulate more virtue for them.
Jin Tong shook his head helplessly. Dao: Anyway, it's your descendants of the Liu family, it's useless for us to say it.
Hearing this news, the eldest son Liu Anlan's father-in-law, Qiu Luxian, also came to persuade Liu Yong and said: The birth of the eldest grandson is also a gift from the ancestors, and it should be celebrated.
Liu Yong shook his head and said with a long sigh: I started from a ruler, I saw the temptation of wealth from a ruler, and tried to earn a little, but I didn't expect it to be really successful. But a blessing is also a curse, and it is a curse that cannot be avoided...... For the benefit of children and grandchildren, I don't want to be extravagant and wasteful, I just hope to do more beneficial things, the juniors are not too luxurious, and use the money from my grandson's full moon wine for disaster relief, that is my benefit again.
