Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Zhou Banxia is now completely oblivious to the disturbances in the outside world. Everyone is just hoping that she will take good care of herself during the confinement period, and no one wants to gossip with her.

No, there are still some. Xiaohe came and said that all the eggs in the Ma family were bought by her parents-in-law. How many red eggs did they have to cook to give away?

Because the weather was cold, the hens didn't lay many eggs, so Aunt Lan got up early and asked each farmer to think of ways to raise chickens for laying eggs in the winter. Therefore, there was no shortage of eggs at home.

Why? Even in the dead of winter, she could eat fresh eggs. By the end of the month, she could not finish eating them all and had to save a lot. Even if she didn't have 500 eggs, she still had 200 or 300.

Together with the eggs that Manager Wang had sent over a few days ago for distribution, even if a few farms hadn't sent any eggs in the past few days, there would still be thousands of eggs in total.

Add to that the eggs produced by the Ma family farm, wow, wouldn’t that mean at least a thousand red eggs would have to be distributed? Then how many red eggs would be distributed to each family?
"Uncle Gu said that not only every household in our village, but also the workshops, tenants in several farms, and farmhands should all receive a share.

Our father also said that we should not save money this time. If the eggs are not enough, we can add more fruits to let everyone know that my third brother-in-law has a son.

Yes, third sister, our father asked me to come and tell you that not only have several families in the capital sent people, but my second and third brothers may also come with Uncle Chang Qing.

Our father said that he talked to Uncle Gu this morning, and later talked to my third brother-in-law. Uncle Gu and my third brother-in-law will make all the arrangements, so you can just focus on recuperating after the baby is born.

Our father said that on the day he came back, our aunt said she was worried that she would not be able to come to our place on the third day of the baby's bath, so our second brother said that he would come with our second aunt when he was free."

The "second aunt" that Xiaohe mentioned is her aunt's second sister-in-law, who is also the second lady of the Shen family in Yangzhou. It was she who led the team to Beijing to offer congratulations.

In addition to this second aunt, of course, because the lady of the house could not leave, the eldest daughter-in-law and grandson of the eldest house, the eldest son and daughter-in-law of the second house, and others also went to Beijing with her.

Quite a few people came, and basically every branch of the Shen family sent representatives. It is said that they still came via the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, but only landed at the canal section that entered Shandong.

Firstly, it was the birthday of my second aunt's father during this period, and secondly, they were worried that the waterway before entering the Hebei section of the Grand Canal and reaching Tongzhou would be frozen and not melted.

The original plan was well-made, with an early departure and plenty of time, but man proposes, God disposes, and when he finally changed to the land route and arrived in the capital, he only caught the tail end of the third day of the Xisan Festival.

She just arrived in time for her eldest nephew's third birthday, and she entered the city just as the gates of the capital were about to close. It is said that there was a convoy carrying gifts behind her, and she could not enter the city until the next day.

When Zhou Banxia heard Xiaohe mention the second aunt of the Shen family, and thought of Aunt Lan's expression of shaking her head with toothache when she heard that her aunt's parents' home didn't make it in time for the third bath, she wanted to laugh.

In fact, this cannot be blamed on the second aunt of the Shen family. The family tradition of the Shen family has always been to be low-key, but they are too popular and have too many gifts.

It's not like traveling by water, where you have a fixed port to go to and can easily decline an invitation from relatives. But when traveling by land, you will be warmly invited to stay in various places you pass through.

Moreover, some in-laws, like the fifth branch of the Shen family, were born out of wedlock, and their daughter married into a wealthy family. The son-in-law even waited for them in person at the post station, so it was not easy to refuse and just come over to visit.

The flowery sedan is carried by many people.

Even if it is just to avoid embarrassing this illegitimate aunt, after such a warm invitation, the second aunt of the Shen family should at least bring people to visit the elders of the other party's house.

As a result, it would be bad for no one to be left out, but it would also be bad to make it known that her aunt's eldest daughter-in-law was about to give birth, otherwise it would be tantamount to the Zhou family having to accept gifts.

Difficult.

Xiao He knew that his third sister was in confinement after childbirth, so he couldn't stay for long. He told her the instructions his father had told him to pass on, and then he told her what his eldest sister wanted to say to him. After that, he didn't want to stay any longer and told her to take good care of him. He took a good look at his nephew, then turned around on tiptoe, and ran away without waiting for his third sister to speak again.

"..." Originally, he wanted to ask his elder sister whether she had to avoid coming until she finished her confinement. Seeing this, Zhou Banxia didn't want to ask him to stay.

Fortunately, although it is not easy for her father to enter the confinement room, her mother can still enter. The family is too busy today and she can't come after dark, but she will come tomorrow morning and then she will have the answer.

As for the fact that distinguished guests were coming to congratulate her, even if her father didn't tell her father-in-law and Xuanzi first, he would not be able to hide it from his parents-in-law and Xuanzi.

There is no way Uncle Chang Qing would not report to Xuanzi on his way back. Even if the letter delivery was slow, he would send guards to return at full speed to report the news when he was near the border of Dingzhou Prefecture.

There is no need to worry about this matter. No matter how many guests come, there will be no need to worry about not having enough accommodation. Even if several more families suddenly send their housekeepers and stewards to congratulate, there are rules for how to reciprocate.

No worries.

"Sanya?"

"I'm here, sister-in-law. I just woke up. Come in quickly." Hearing Ma Shan calling her tentatively in a deliberately lowered voice outside, Zhou Banxia hurriedly responded.

It was also her fault that she was distracted for a moment and didn't even notice when Ma Shan entered the east wing. She was standing at the door and didn't dare to come in.

"What about our little lock?"

"Hurry up and lie down!" Ma Shan walked into the room quickly and saw that Zhou Banxia was no longer supported by a maid as she expected, and was anxious to sit up. "Why are you in such a hurry? Lie down. It's with Baoya. How do you feel now? Is it still painful? It won't hurt tomorrow."

I'm not a porcelain doll, okay? Everyone's tone of voice has changed. Zhou Banxia nodded with a smile, and finally caught the hand that Ma Shan handed over, "Hurry and sit down."

"It's okay, your hands are not cold." Ma Shan touched Zhou Banxia's hand, and after letting go, she did not rush to sit down on the edge of the kang but touched the headband on Zhou Banxia's forehead.

Seeing that it was tied tightly and there was no sign of it being secretly loosened, she nodded with satisfaction, "Take good care of yourself during the confinement period. Cold hands and feet can only be cured during the confinement period."

"it is good."

Putting on a well-behaved appearance again, Ma Shan laughed and shook her head, "You still don't believe it, didn't I tell you how miserable my life was before I got married?

It's the growth locks that I had during the confinement period. Even the headaches caused by the cold weather and the wind have been cured. Don't take it lightly and don't be careless.

For example, when my mother was in confinement, she walked too much while holding the baby. Not only did her arms become sore later, but her feet also hurt after walking or standing for too long.

Later, my mother heard from the elderly that it must be because she didn’t take good care of herself during the confinement period. The pain was so severe that she had to wait until she gave birth to recuperate after the confinement period. "

"That's what she said. Not only my mother-in-law, but my mother also said that she didn't have the chance to properly recuperate until she gave birth to Xiaohe."

That's right, you finally listened to her! When Ma Shan heard Zhou Banxia agree with her, she immediately left Zhou Banxia and ran towards the newborn in the cradle.

"Oh my, you're awake. Your grandma said you look like your dad and your mom. Oh, do you know who I am? I'm your aunt..." (End of this chapter)
