Autumn in October, osmanthus fragrance.
Ruhui walked under the osmanthus tree and said to maisui, "you'll send someone to pick some osmanthus later. Tomorrow you'll let sister-in-law Li make osmanthus cake to eat." Later in pregnancy, she was greedy. Meng ranxi joked that this must be a girl.
Chen said with a smile: "now you can eat what you want. When you are born, you will have to eat it a year later." When feeding, don't eat indiscriminately. If not, children are easy to have diarrhea.
At the end of April, Chen gave birth to a son. Because of one thing after another when pregnant, the child was born less than five Jin. Fortunately, Chen's milk enough, so the child grew to seven and a half pounds after birth. Today, they are as healthy as other children.
Ruhui said in a low voice, "I'm really greedy at that time, so I'll avoid them to eat two mouthfuls secretly."
Chen chuckled.
After talking about the children, Ruhui asked about the third master's continued marriage: "I heard that the aunt of the Zhou family let go. Is this true?" The old master asked Mr. Meng San to marry Mr. Zhou, the Minister of rites, and his eldest daughter who was away from home. Doctor Zhou agreed, but the aunt didn't. This matter will be over.
Chen nodded: "it's true. The old lady has already started to prepare the bride price. It's said that this week's aunts and grandmothers are easy to get along with. I just hope the rumors are true. "
Ruhui said with a smile, "this aunt and grandmother of the Zhou family can't have a baby by herself, and can't tolerate her husband's son and daughter. That's why she and Li went home. I don't think she will embarrass you as long as you respect her. " Since the woman can't give birth, she won't embarrass several stepsons. Because she is old, she has to depend on her stepson!
It is estimated that this is the reason why the Zhou family is willing to marry master Meng San. If not, why marry him.
Chen said with a smile: "I hope so!" In fact, even if it is difficult, she is not afraid because she is not her mother-in-law. But if we can live in peace, we will all be happy.
Just then, I heard Ruhui cry.
Having two children, I'm familiar with this feeling. Covering her stomach, Ruhui said, "I'm going to have a baby."
Mon Rashi came back with the news. As a result, just into the yard, I heard a burst of baby crying.
This kid, he landed fast.
After a while, a woman came out with a basin of blood. Old lady Meng asked, "is the third grandmother a man or a woman?"
"It's a girl," she said with a smile
Mrs. Meng looked disappointed. She was hoping that Ruhui would add another brother to her group brother, but she didn't expect to be a girl again.
Meng ran Xi didn't have any idea, regardless of men and women, it was his blood and bone: "how about the third grandmother? How are you doing? " The main reason is that he already has a group of brothers, so he is not worried about his children.
The old woman said with a smile, "Third Master, don't worry. Third grandma is in good spirits after giving birth. I ate a bowl of millet porridge and held the girl in my arms! "
When she heard that Ruhui had nothing to do, she was relieved.
Old lady Meng said, "take good care of your daughter-in-law. I'll go back to have a rest and see them tomorrow." The old lady has some preference for sons over daughters, but she is very kind to her great granddaughters. It is not said that great grandson is treasure and great granddaughter is grass.
Meng ran Xi sent the old lady out of the door and turned her back. At this time, Chen just picked up the baby and showed it to her.
At the sight of her little daughter, she was very surprised: "Oh, my daughter is so handsome!" The eldest daughter and the eldest son were born like monkeys and wrinkled. But the child is white and tender, which makes people want to take a bite.
Chen said with a smile: "yes! The child is so beautiful. " Few children are born so white and tender.
Because she is like a sister to Ruhui, Chen takes her little son to talk with her during her confinement.
You know, confinement is the most boring, and you can't work hard. There's someone to accompany me. Time flies.
Chen and Ruhui said: "the old lady has already sent the bride price. Looking at this posture, I'm afraid she will pass by a year ago."
Ruhui said with a smile: "it's also good for the third uncle to continue to marry. At least, she can't come back. " This she, refers to the nature is the rest of the Geng.
Chen said with a smile: "father-in-law continued to marry. In the future, I don't have to deal with my uncle's marriage. By the way, aunt three, I'm going to open another dry goods shop in Shuanghong street. " She has no experience in selling other things, but she has worked as a dry goods shop for two years. She not only has the channel of purchasing goods, but also has enough experience.
"We must rent a lot of this shop. Good..."
Chen said with a smile, "aunt three, I bought that shop. After buying this shop, I have a few taels of silver left in my hand. " In fact, she was very happy to buy that shop. It also happens that the other party is in urgent need of money, otherwise they will not sell the shop.
"If you buy the shop, you won't lose money." Ten years ago, the houses and shops in Beijing were so cheap that they have more than doubled. Rents, of course, have gone up a lot.
In the daytime, Chen came to chat with her every three or five times, and people who were familiar with each other and had good relations also visited her. This month, Ruhui is still doing very well.
Because he was the third child, there was no full moon banquet. In this regard, Ruhui said nothing even though she complained. After all, her sister-in-law, only the eldest son to do the full moon banquet, the second did not do. Both Shiyin and Tuan Ge'er have done well. Although there was no full moon banquet, all the close relatives sent gifts. Zeng Chenfu's full moon gift is the same as Shi Yin's and Tuan Ge'er's.
Not two days after birth, the full moon gift from Tongcheng arrived. Because of the long journey, it's normal to delay for two days. However, when you see Ma's full moon gift, Ruhui is in a bad mood.
Two sets of clothes, a silver bracelet and a Silver Anklet, and a silver long life lock. The jewelry is rough and light.
Ruhui always spoke straightforwardly: "I don't know. I think they are too poor to buy a decent gift. Who does she want to mix with? " Her father is so generous to her two daughters, and Fang Hui, as the eldest son, can't be short of money.
Maisui comforted: "grandma, think about the gift from Shizi's wife." Zeng Chenfu's full moon gift is quite respectable.
Ruhui's anger subsided, but she still couldn't help saying, "I don't know what's wrong with big brother's mind. So many official women don't want to marry, they have to marry a daughter of a pub. If you have eyes, it's all right to advance and retreat. As a result, you're not only narrow-minded, but also stingy. It's compared with what Geng has. "
Maisui said, "just be nice to Shizi's wife." As for Ma, there's no need to care. In the future, the number of contacts is also less.
Think about it, and it is.
Ruhui won't tell Meng people about this kind of thing. My mother's sister-in-law is such a small family. It's a shame to talk about it.
A few days later, Zeng Chenfu came to see the child. Ruhui asked, "what did your sister-in-law give you at the time of brother Yi's full moon gift?"
Zeng Chenfu asked with a smile, "well, what do you want to do with this?" She didn't talk about the fact that Mahalanobis only gave brother Yi two sets of clothes. Also made a word not to allow the following people to criticize this matter, so even Ruhui did not know about it.
Ruhui received Ma's full moon gift and said: "I have no shortage of gold bracelets, gold ankles and red gold collars at Zhuang Ge'er's full moon banquet. As a result, when my family's poetry is full, she will send these to me. " If you don't have money, you can just melt these gold ornaments and make another pair!
Zeng Chenfu said with a smile: "the stitches of the clothes she sent are fine, and the thread ends are put outside. It can be seen that my sister-in-law has done it with her heart. Just look at the top and don't worry about it. "
Ruhui is to understand: "so she gave Yi Ge'er the full moon gift is also like this?"
Zeng Chenfu said with a smile: "my sister-in-law should be used to the hard life. It's OK when you've got your mind, and we don't care about the rest. "
If you want to go on, it's like you're a small family. Ruhui stopped talking about it, but she wrote to Xiao that night.
It's a gift from Mahalanobis. Xiao's is in charge of it. So she was not surprised to see Ruhui complaining in her heart.
Ninghai said with a smile: "Ruhui said in the letter, what's the name of the child?"
Xiao said, "my son-in-law named the child Shiyun. By the way, Ruhui said in her letter that she would also send two sets of clothes to Da Niu and Zhuang Ge'er on their birthday. At that time, let's not blame her for being too gracious. " Ruhui is not Zeng Chenfu. She is not affected by this coward.
Ninghai's good mood was swept away.
Xiao said: "master, I told you before. How are you thinking about it?"
"Fang Hui and ah Zhan are two brothers. Naturally, they want to support each other." Rather than let the two brothers support each other, I hope Ning Zhan can help each other in the future. After all, Ning Zhan was valued by the new emperor and was like a brother to you Wang. The future is sure to be good. And it's in the capital again. He can know as soon as there's any disturbance in the capital.
In fact, Ning Zhan doesn't help Fang Hui. As long as he doesn't separate his family, Anyang Bofu is Fang Hui's strongest backing. It's a great advantage to his official career. In addition, he really has something. Ning Zhan must also help. After all, he is a brother. He is both prosperous and miserable. But if we split up, Fang Hui's advantage will disappear, and his official career will depend entirely on himself.
Xiao didn't have such deep thoughts, and naturally he didn't know what Ninghai thought. Hearing this, Xiao said, "support each other? Don't let them drag ah Zhan down. I'll be Amitabha. "
Ninghai did not change his words and said, "let's talk about the separation in a few years." At least Fang Hui has to go up two levels before he thinks about the separation.
How can not say Ninghai, Xiao also some frustration. The next day, she couldn't help saying to her confidant Yu Mei, "I've spent all these months talking, but the master just won't let go."
Yu Mei said: "madam, the palm and the back of the hand are all meat. You have to understand my uncle."
If Xiao didn't understand, he would have quarreled with Ninghai.
Yu Mei said in a low voice: "madam, we can pass this word on to grandma. As long as she talks to you, it will be easy. " If you want to separate your family, you can't insist on your own opinion any more.
Shaw thought it was a good idea.
