Nine-fold lotus of the famous family

Chapter 403 Xi'er in Three Dynasties, Seeing Shi Shi for the First Time (3)
Liang Fen and Huanzi came to change Liuli and Yinghong's shifts early in the morning, and Ji Chonglian also took advantage of this time to sleep a little longer, thinking in his heart that he could not let Pei Yan sleep on the big kang at night, he is a big man here It can't help, but it will affect his rest. It's better to sleep in the study room outside. Let him move tonight.

I used to hear people say that pregnancy is the happiest time. Ji Chonglian has experienced it during this period. Everyone treats her like a baby. It is really relaxed and comfortable. It can be said that raising a child is the hardest. Now she is really starting the physical examination. It is unbearable to be tired, especially if you can't sleep a whole night, it is undoubtedly the most painful.

But who didn't come here like this?Thinking of her bold ambitions at the beginning, how could she want to back down when encountering a little difficulty, Ji Chonglian decided to grit her teeth and survive. At most, she would sleep when Sister Shuang fell asleep, and she would wake up when Sister Shuang woke up. During the confinement period, I stayed in bed all day and night, but I didn't feel anything.

As soon as the time passed, people came to the door one after another. Pei Yan received the male guests in the outer courtyard, while the female guests were ushered into the inner courtyard. Feng Shi took the initiative to come over to help entertain, which relieved Ji Chonglian a lot of burden.

Because the weather was too cold, the child's baptism was carried out in the main room of the main house.

Concubine Yan sent Mama Wang, and what Ji Chonglian didn't expect was that Concubine Shi would come to Pei's mansion in person. All the female relatives felt a little flattered, chatting non-stop around Concubine Shi, and the scene was lively for a while Very.

Naturally, Ji Chonglian could no longer lie on the bed, so Lin Tao waited on her. She wore a white background with indigo plum blossom and bamboo leaf embroidered collar and beige paired breasts, and a honey-colored skirt with full sleeves inside, and a rabbit was still wrapped around her head. The son lies on the bed, with white jade hairpins with a little oil inserted on both sides, which is simple but not lacking in luxury.

I heard that Concubine Shi was wearing a rose-red makeup, python dark flowers, and gold silk brocade sarong today, which was extremely festive. As soon as Ji Chonglian turned out of the inner room, she saw Concubine Shi's graceful and luxurious figure, and rushed forward to salute.

Concubine Shi helped Ji Chonglian up gracefully with a smile, squeezed her palm, and said with a smile: "Why is Mrs. Pei being so polite, I'm just here to make fun of it, so you can do whatever you want."

Only then did Ji Chonglian raise her head with a smile, only to feel that there was a burst of light in front of her eyes, and she could hardly open her eyes, and finally regained her vision, and finally saw the gorgeous woman in a gorgeous dress in front of her.

Concubine Shi is probably around 25 or [-] years old. Her fair and tender skin is as delicate as a girl's. Her eyebrows are a bit thick, but they are even more heroic. Her almond eyes are round and piercing, her nose is neither too big nor too small, and her red With delicate lips, it doesn't look like the delicate and elegant style of Jiangnan women, on the contrary, it has the unique heroic posture of northern women, tall and fit.

The Shi family was originally from a military general, and the tiger daughter of the general family, so to speak, is the side concubine Shi.

Concubine Shi Fang gave birth to the eldest son of King Yan, and I heard that since Jian Yunqi's incident, she and Princess Yan have been in charge of the middle office of the palace together, and her abilities and methods should not be underestimated.

Ji Chonglian smiled and exchanged greetings with Concubine Shi for a while, which made her take the first seat.

"Washing Three" officially started. Lin Tao and Ying Hong set up the incense table with neat movements, and put on the table such as Bixia Yuanjun, Qiongxiao Empress, Yunxiao Empress, Shengsheng Empress, Sending Empress, Bean Sore Empress, The wax-headed figurines of thirteen others, including Empress Dowager Eyes.

Huanzi brought an exquisite "Pisces Playing Pearl Basin" and placed it on the rosewood basin stand. The copper basin contained soup made from locust locust leaves and mugwort leaves. Wen Po, who delivered the baby, appeared with her in her arms.

With Concubine Shi taking the lead, add a small spoonful of water to the basin in order of seniority and inferiority, and then put some gold and silver zizi, or "adding basins" of happy fruits such as longan, lychee, red dates, peanuts, and chestnuts. , Wenpo has a fixed set of congratulatory speeches, what do you add, what does she say, if you add clear water, she says "long flowing water, smart and smart"; you add some jujube, longan, chestnuts and other xigo, she will Then he said: "Early sons, sons, and noble sons; Guiyuan, Guiyuan, Lianzhong Sanyuan" and so on to win the favor of the guests.

After everyone "refills the basin" one by one, Mrs. Wen picks up the mallet and stirs it into the basin, and then begins to bathe Sister Shuang.

The ground dragon had already been burned in the main room, and there was still a brazier burning in the corner, but even so when the clothes were lifted, Sister Shuang was startled by the cold and cried "wow", but crying at this time is not only not taboo, but also It is considered auspicious, so it is called "sound basin".

While washing, Mrs. Wen muttered congratulations, something like "wash your hair first and become a prince; wash your waist after that, and one generation is better than the next."

Then, light it with mugwort leaf balls, put ginger slices on the forehead of Sister Shuang, and burn it symbolically. , tied up the child, lightly hit the body three times with a green onion, and then asked someone to throw the onion on the roof, wishing Sister Shuang to be smart in the future, and then put Sister Shuang on the tea tray, Tuck Sister Shuang’s body with the gold and silver zippers prepared in advance, and finally use a small mirror to take a picture of the baby’s buttocks. The most interesting thing is to sieve a few paper pomegranate flowers into the baking cage. The words of congratulations chanted under various programs are different, but they are words of wishing wealth and auspiciousness, which makes everyone's faces glow.

After going through all the procedures, Mrs. Wen hugged Sister Shuang and "congratulated" Ji Chonglian, and Ji Chonglian smiled and told Lin Tao to give the gold and silver carp in the "Xisan" basin together with the pits, dates and land to Mrs. Wen Take it out and wrap it up. These things are rewards and gifts for her.

"Xisan" does not have a banquet at all. According to the custom, they use fried noodles to entertain guests, commonly known as "Xishanmian". Everyone is not just for this meal, but just sit on the table and eat something meaningfully.

Concubine Shi pulled Ji Chonglian affectionately to talk, "I think Sister Shuang looks smart. Although her eyebrows resemble Mr. Pei, her facial features are like yours. When she grows up, she will be a beauty again."

"The side concubine praised you."

Seeing Ji Chonglian's generous and decent behavior, Concubine Shi already had a good impression in her heart, and remembered her father Shi Chongguang's advice, telling her to get close to Pei's family.

Pei Yan is definitely a fierce general. His father wanted to recruit him several times, but his attitude was somewhat ambiguous. Finally, taking advantage of the rift between Mrs. Pei and Princess Yan, Pei Yan moved closer to his father. In a few minutes, she wants to seize this opportunity. Her father's reputation has grown, which is only good for her. She also gave birth to the eldest son of King Yan. Maybe she will take the position of Princess Yan in the future.
