Ordinary clear day

Chapter 227
Wanning was wearing a dark green brocade robe and a large fur cloak covered with azurite silk, standing pretty in the courtyard.She only wore two or three pieces of jasper jewellery, and there was no decoration on her hair, except for a large oriental bead in the middle that was very eye-catching.She gently stroked her temples with her hand, revealing a string of jadeite bracelets on her wrist: "I'm so sorry for being late. Has San San started?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, the old Feng Jun and Mrs. Sitara frowned slightly.Among the female relatives present, except for them and his family members, no one else knew about Wanning. Seeing that she was dressed luxuriously, and followed a lot of maids and women, taking up most of the entire courtyard, they all thought it was her. Which nobleman of the palace.Nala was vague and only mentioned the prince's mansion, and everyone greeted Wanning one after another.On the contrary, Aunt Chen was a little displeased when she saw that she was wearing too plain, but she was worried about Nala, so she didn't make a sound.

Mrs. Li said lightly: "It's already been washed, second sister, come in quickly, it's cold outside, and Er Niang can't bear it because she's too old." Wanning paused, glanced at Nala's excited face, and walked slowly After entering the house, he took off his cloak and gave it to the maid, and asked someone to bring up the gift, but it turned out to be a pair of small golden Buddhas with precious stones on them.Even Mrs. Shu Mulu frowned now.Shu Ning noticed that the girl's face was not the pretty clouds and smoke clouds she was used to, but the gems on the little golden Buddha looked familiar.

There was trouble arranging the seat again. Wanning said that she was late and just needed to sit on a small bench, but Nala said, "Nonsense, what is your identity? How can you be so wronged?" Glancing at the position of the old lord of the Tara family, he hesitated.Mrs. Shu Mulu asked someone to bring an armchair and put it under Shuning, and asked Wanning to sit down.

Wanning wanted to see the child, but the admission grandmother didn't know the truth, seeing that she was generous and wanted to get some benefits, so she smiled and hugged a child and said: "Please let the child be blessed." Wanning listened Feeling happy, she just wanted to hug her, but she heard Tong say, "It's getting late, let's finish the three rites first." He stopped the admission grandma back.Nala's turned to look at Tong's, she glanced back and didn't make another sound.

Master Lu took the first step. She put the child in her arms on the tea tray, tucked a pair of gold and silver zippers on him, and said in her mouth: "Hold the gold on the left, and the silver on the right. You can't spend it. Enjoy it." people." Then he took a small mirror to look at the child's buttocks.The admission grandma came to her senses and followed suit.After they finished these ceremonies, they put the goddess who enshrined the statue, the money and food for worshiping the god, and the incense root together on the incense table, took it to the courtyard and burned it to ashes, wrapped it in red paper, pressed it under the kang mat, and greeted the master. Congratulations.

Mrs. Shu Mulu got two grandchildren in one fell swoop, and she was very happy. Seeing that the grandma and Mrs. Lu were smart in their words and generous in their actions, they gave two big red envelopes. The amount was at least five or six taels of silver. Among them, Mrs. Lu got another A pair of silver bracelets and two rulers.

The grandma who took the baby didn't care, all the things added today belonged to her. This is already a big harvest, and she also met a few noble people.Master Lu's work has already been rewarded by his master, but now it's just icing on the cake. Thank you so much and say a lot of good things.

The female relatives sat down to have tea, Shuning thought for a while, then asked Wanning softly if she wanted to go and see Fangning.Wanning hesitated for a moment, but went anyway, but only said a few words in a hurry before coming out.She was somewhat interested in the two children, but felt that they were a little thinner: "Our Fujin's son was born white and fat, but he is much stronger than these two." She also felt that the two brothers did not resemble each other.

Mrs. Shu Mulu smiled and said: "The twins are naturally thinner, and they will get fatter after a while. It's better not to look alike, so as not to admit the mistake and take the elder brother as the younger brother." After finishing speaking, she asked the mother to carry the child down, He also smiled and apologized to everyone: "It's time for the baby to breastfeed, I'm really sorry."

Wanning asked: "Isn't Eldest Sister breastfeeding by herself? Isn't that bad?" Seeing Mrs. Shu Mulu's face was a bit cold, Shu Ning hurriedly said: "How can Eldest Sister take care of herself? Besides, she is not in good health yet. " Wanning glanced at her, then stopped talking.

Mrs. Tong and Mrs. Sitara brought up other topics one after another.Speaking of the names of the two children, Yi Hai said with some embarrassment that he hadn't decided on a big name yet, and now they are only called by nicknames.Because they were born at sunrise in the morning, one is called Chenchen and the other is Ranran.Everyone boasted that the name was cute, and they remembered it as soon as they heard it.

Wanning was a little bit stuck, and gradually felt bored.Shu Ning saw from the side that even if she said a few words to her kindly, she would ignore her, so her heart became cold.Nala asked about Wanning's recent situation very attentively, but unfortunately Wanning was also indifferent, and finally said coldly: "If Er Niang wants to know, just come and see me more." Nala couldn't help hearing this. Sadly.

Not long after, Wanning proposed to leave.Nala chased him out, and asked: "It's rare to go to the mansion, why don't you go home and sit down?" Wanning put on a cloak and said without looking back: "It was agreed that Shen Shiqian would go back. Didn't Er Niang say that Baylor The house rules are big, do you want me to obey them obediently?" Nala's eyes turned red, and she could only silently watch her daughter leave.

There was already discussion in the room, everyone was asking who the "Second Aunt" was just now.Mrs. Li and Mrs. Sitara were a little embarrassed, they faltered and said that they were the concubine of the fourth prince, and the other female relatives were called "Fan Fujin", so it was hard for them to say so.When Aunt Chen saw it, she secretly spat.Seeing that Nala's expression was not very good after entering the room, Shu Ning hurriedly asked if the child could be taken out for everyone to see after feeding, and brought the topic back to the master.

On the way back, Shuning took a car with her mother and sister-in-law.Tong suddenly laughed, and said: "The second girl looked very angry, but in fact the situation is not very good. I saw her mother-in-law urging her, so she proposed to leave. The material of her clothes is I also have a suit from my family, and the Dongzhu on my head is also a dowry, and the pair of little golden Buddhas she gave were melted with dowry jewelry, can you see that?"

Shu Ning was slightly taken aback, thinking it was indeed so, those gemstones were on a pair of golden hairpins, she had seen them before, their colors and shapes were very special.But the dowry would not be easily used.Although her own dowry was generous, she put away most of the things except those used jewelry and consumable daily necessities.Wanning actually used the dowry to transform, and gave gifts as favors. Could it be that she is really so tight?
Tong said again: "What kind of golden Buddha are you giving? Like we only give some silver locks, needles and threads, and crock furnaces, let alone whether the Buddha statues made of gold and jade are suitable. Such a heavy gift is given to newborns. I’m not afraid of ruining their blessings.”

Shuning didn't pay much attention to this aspect, so she smiled and said, "Let's take it as a gift from the second sister to the elder sister's elder brother-in-law, and let the elder sister's family make a little money." Zhenzhen also said: "Isn't it? Not to mention, it is decent enough for two boys to marry a daughter-in-law when they grow up, and each of them has a small golden Buddha as a dowry." Tong laughed dumbfounded.

Back at the baron's mansion, Nala nodded with red eyes and went back to the house.Mrs. Li and Mrs. Sitara glanced at each other, the former went to Rongqing Hall to take care of the housework, while the latter rushed two steps forward to catch up with his mother-in-law.Tong took her daughter and daughter-in-law back to Huaiyuan, and saw Duanning holding her son, and Tong Ying waiting for them at the gate of the courtyard.

Zhenzhen hugged her son, and together with Duanning, accompanied Tong into the courtyard.Shu Ning took a step behind, and whispered to Tong Ying: "Just now I asked someone to buy a honey offering from Zhengmingzhai, didn't you say you wanted dessert in the morning? It was too late, so I had to buy ready-made ones for you." Tong Ying touched her head , pouted and said: "I want to eat what you made." Shuning pursed her lips and smiled, took his arm and said: "Okay, I will make it for you tomorrow morning, let's eat what you bought today." Tong Ying grinned Laughed.

After entering the house, the whole family was amazed when they talked about what happened today.Suddenly a little girl came to the front, saying that the cousin and grandma of Prince Kang's mansion had sent someone, and Mrs. Li urgently asked the third wife, fourth grandma and third aunt to go ahead to discuss things.

It turned out that when Xu Xu was taking care of her father-in-law, Prince Kang, who was seriously ill with other sisters-in-law, she suddenly passed out. After consulting a doctor, she found out that she was three months pregnant again.Because I hadn't noticed it before, I was a little overworked, and the fetus was not stable.The Wang Mansion has already sent an urgent letter to Shandong, and now they can only turn to the Baron's Mansion for help.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Tong hurriedly ordered someone to call another confinement sister-in-law Wu Jiu's family, and Shuning also asked someone to inform Zhou Chang's family who was staying in Beizi Mansion, wanting her to come with her.

But the visitor refused, saying that the palace has already arranged to take care of Xuxu's nanny, and there is no need to add more people. I heard that Shuning has a lot of good medicinal materials, so I come to ask for some, and save the emergency. When they find good medicine, Return it again.

Shuning naturally agreed and told Suxin to go back home to pick it up.Tong felt that it was a bit troublesome to go back and forth, so she took out some of her own collection and asked the visitor to take them back first, and send the ones from her daughter's side later.The visitor left with a thousand thanks, Tong Shi and Shu Ning both heaved a sigh of relief.

Li said: "I didn't expect Cousin Xuxu to have another baby so soon, her daughter is not yet one year old." Zhenzhen laughed and said, "It seems that the mother-in-law is also a master who loves his wife." He also glanced at Shuning.Shuning cast a glance at her, pursed her lips and remained silent.

Nala's heart was sour, and he went back to his room with the excuse that he was tired, and didn't even come out for dinner.

After two or three days, Zhang Bao came back, and the whole family gathered together.When he comes back this time, he has actually obtained the letter of approval, and he is sure to be re-elected.The family members were naturally overjoyed, so Shuning proposed that the tenth day was Tongying's birthday, and the fourteenth day was Duanning's birthday, the wine in the house was not counted, the whole family should have a good celebration in private, and by the way, welcome and celebrate their father.As soon as the proposal came out, everyone was in favor.

So the family got busy.Tongying's birthday is not known in the mansion, but Duanning's birthday banquet is held as usual.Tong is in charge of business affairs, Zhenzhen is in charge of her own banquet, and Shuning cooks all kinds of special dishes and snacks.

On the evening of the twelfth day, as soon as it got dark, Huaiyuan closed the door.A table was placed on the Kang in the main room, and another table was placed underground.The three-bedroom family, together with the three members of Duanning's family and the Shuning couple, lived together.

The two younger brothers performed their newly learned poems, and Xiaobao also recited an article written by himself. Zhang Bao praised him greatly, and Duanning and Tongying both had prizes.Mingrui, the youngest, also recited a nursery rhyme intermittently and without words. Zhang Bao laughed heartily, kissed his grandson, and fed him with vegetables himself.

Zhang Bao, Duanning and Tong Ying started toasting each other after they were half full. No matter what the wives tried to persuade them, they only said that men should be more forthright, and it's not a celebration if they don't drink.Mrs. Tong winked at her daughter-in-law and asked them to drink by themselves, and the women took the children to chat beside them, just keeping an eye on Xiaobao and Xianning from time to time, lest they feel itchy to steal the wine.

Tong Ying once wanted to give Xiao Bao a drink, but Shu Ning decisively stopped her. No matter how pitiful Xiao Bao's expression was, she refused to give in, and Tong Ying shrank back embarrassingly with a stare.

When the three big men were all drunk, they went back to their rooms to rest.Shuning couldn't lift Tongying, so she had to call Xiaolanzi and Tianyang in, and Qi Qi helped him back to the chrysanthemum courtyard to lie down, and fetched water for him to wipe his face and change his clothes.In a daze, Tongying hugged Shuning tightly, scaring Xiaolanzi and the others to avoid it in a hurry.Shu Ning was angry and funny, tickled Tong Ying, and quickly got away while he was moving.Seeing her husband sleeping like a child, she felt soft in her heart, made the bed for him, kissed his forehead, watched him fall asleep, and then slowly went back to Huaiyuan.

Early the next morning, the father, son, and son-in-law all suffered from hangovers and headaches, and were forced by their respective wives to drink a large bowl of medicinal soup. They looked at each other and laughed.Zhang Bao directly said that he was happy, and even said that he would drink for a few days. Duanning and Tongying actually nodded in agreement, but they all said that there should be no more excess, which made Tongshi, Zhenzhen and Shuning so angry that they almost died.Xiao Liu was knocking melon seeds beside her, laughing non-stop.

On the full moon day, Zhang Bao really invited his son and son-in-law to drink together, and got drunk again, and had a headache again the next day.Shuning dragged Tongying back to Beizi's mansion, and only had time to bid farewell to her mother, sister-in-law and younger brothers.But this separation is not as sad as before.Because now that the month is over and the wedding has been completed, it will be convenient for the two families to communicate in the future.Tong's can visit her daughter at any time, and Shuning can also go back to her mother's house at any time.

After returning to Beizi Mansion, the first thing to do was to organize the housework.After leaving the mansion for a month, there were basically no major problems in the affairs of the mansion. There were a few minor troubles, and Shuning quickly took care of them.It seems that the two stewards are very capable and reliable, so she feels relieved.When her natal family brought food, she divided it up according to the head, and sent it to Prince Jane's mansion together with her own needlework.

After entering the twelfth lunar month, the imperial decree to canonize the son finally came down, and Yaerjiang'a officially got the title of son.Before the decree came down, Tongying was called into the palace to face the saint, and she didn't know what she said, but after returning home, Tongying said to Shuning with a sad face: "My wife, our leisure time is running out, The emperor said that next spring he will send me on a mission."

Shuning glanced at him, and said: "You are too idle, even if you don't have to do business, it is good to practice painting more. Now you just paint when you are in the mood, is it useless? I have never stopped practicing calligraphy. "She didn't lie, except that she was too busy during the wedding days, so she practiced for at least half an hour every day.

Tong Ying laughed dryly, and hurried to the studio to study.Shuning smiled and followed her.

Prince Jane's mansion has established a son, so it is inevitable to invite guests to celebrate.But this day was a bit unlucky, it happened to be the same day as Fang Ning's son's full moon wine.After discussing with Tong Ying, Shu Ning decided that Tong Ying would go to the palace first, and she would go to Shu Mulu's house to put down the gifts before rushing to the palace.

The atmosphere at the banquet in the palace was a bit weird, Ji Fujin had a dark face, but Guarjia couldn't stop laughing.Seeing Shu Ning, although the latter was still a little displeased, he still held back and did not lose his manners in front of everyone.

As soon as the banquet was over, Ji Fujin proposed to Prince Jian that he would take his two sons back to Fengtian.But Prince Jian frowned, and reprimanded: "It's the twelfth lunar month, and the Chinese New Year will soon be here. This year, it was agreed to enter the palace to congratulate him, so what's the matter if he suddenly leaves? Stop messing around!"

Ji Fujin looked aggrieved, so he had no choice but to change his mind and go back to his mother's house for a few days. Prince Jian was also frightened by her, so he nodded readily.

But Guo Fujin and the others had no choice but to stay, but they were always calm, and whether the heir was established or not did not affect their attitude.It's just that their sons are a little embarrassed. The servants in the mansion seem to have already determined who is the future master, and they are not as attentive to them as before. I feel a little wronged.

Tongying has always been optimistic about Shige, and doesn't want him to stay and suffer, especially as Prince Jane intends to return to Fengtian after the next year, and Azaran and Shige, both older, will stay in Beijing.Azhalan was fine, his mother Guo Fujin was always favored, but his real biological mother was not so favored.So Tong Ying proposed that after Li Fujin returned to Fengtian, let Shige live in Beizi Mansion. There is a special teacher in his family who can help Shige study hard.

Prince Jane didn't mean to object, but Guarjia's face darkened when she heard it: "What do you mean by that? Second brother needs to explain it clearly to me!"
