Daughter of aristocratic family

Chapter 356 Washing Three
Zhao Wangshu gave birth to the child successfully. Yun Hao asked someone to go to Zhao's house to announce the good news. After thinking about it, he went to the Buddhist hall.

When Ah Qin saw him, she said with joy on her face: "Master, congratulations."

Yun Hao was stunned, "Aunt Aqi already knows?"

"I accompanied the layman and stayed outside the courtyard gate. I only returned to the temple after hearing that the mother and son were safe." Ah Qin said with a smile.

Yun Hao looked at the closed door, a complicated look flashed in his eyes, "I won't disturb the layman's spiritual practice anymore."

After saying that, he turned around and left, returning to Linglong Courtyard.

Zhao Wangshu had woken up and was drinking medicine. His face was a little pale, but he was in good spirits. When he saw Yun Hao coming in, he showed a gentle smile.

Yun Hao walked to her side and sat down, "Does it still hurt?"

"It's better. Is the child awake?" Zhao Wangshu handed him the empty bowl.

Yun Hao took the bowl with one hand and stuffed a sugar granule into her mouth with the other, "I woke up once, Mrs. Buckwheat gave me water and fell asleep again."

"When did the doctor say he could have bowel movements?" Zhao Wangshu asked.

Yun Hao smiled and said, "The doctor said that you can rest peacefully tomorrow morning, and Mrs. Qiao and the others will take care of Yu'er."

Zhao Wangshu lay back on the bed and continued to sleep.

The couple didn't plan to hold a big wedding banquet, but the emperor knew that Yun Hao's son was born and rewarded him with a bunch of things. Like a cat smelling fish, all the palaces in the capital sent congratulatory gifts.

Someone said: "Yun Hao resisted the emperor's order. His Majesty didn't blame him, but he still treated him so favorably. It's really unexpected."

Looking at the gift list, Zhao Wangshu said with a bitter face: "These three banquets will be useless if we don't do them."

"I'll invite grandma and grandma to come over. You don't have to worry about it, just have a good confinement period." Yun Hao kissed her forehead, "You still don't look good, please sleep more."

Zhao Wangshu nodded. She knew her physical condition and understood Yun Hao's worries, "I know, I will pay attention to rest. Don't work too hard. There are many things in the house, but you also have to take care of yourself. Don’t tire yourself out.”

After hearing this, Yun Hao smiled and held her hand, "Don't worry, I know what's appropriate. I'll go deal with things now and come back to see you and Yu'er in the evening."

After saying that, Yun Hao stood up, leaned over and kissed her forehead gently before turning and leaving.

On the day of the third banquet, Yun Mansion was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and it was very lively. Although Zhao Wangshu could not attend in person, she could feel the festive atmosphere of the entire mansion.

Yun Hao, Zhao Cui and Zhao Li were very busy receiving guests together.

Song Yuanqu and Xiao Jun'er stayed with Zhao Wangshu and her son in the room. The two babies slept soundly, and the sister-in-law and sister-in-law were chatting.

"Is the birth going smoothly?" Song Yuanqu asked with concern.

"It went very well, it only took more than an hour." Zhao Wangshu thought of Po Wen saying that some people's scalps would be numb for a few days in their lives.

After hearing this, Song Yuanqu also breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good. Judging from your complexion, you are recovering well."

"Thanks to Lady Qiao, she took good care of me." Zhao Wangshu said with a smile.

"Um, Yu'er's wife is not showing up for her third bath today?" Song Yuanqu asked.

Zhao Wangshu smiled faintly and said, "Mother-in-law, she is now living at home and practicing herself, and she doesn't want to be tainted by the worldly affairs anymore."

"Thank you for your hard work." A flash of sympathy flashed in Song Yuanqu's eyes.

"It's okay." Zhao Wangshu respected Mrs. Yun's beliefs and didn't care about Mrs. Yun's choice.

Everything has its pros and cons, and you can't have both.

"Sister-in-law, you are really open-minded and broad-minded." Song Yuanqu said with a smile.

"Thank you for the compliment, sister-in-law." Zhao Wangshu raised his eyebrows and smiled.

At this time Yun Yu woke up and cried twice. Zhao Wangshu hurriedly picked him up, pulled down the curtain, and fed Yun Yu breast milk. When Song Yuanqu saw this, he was startled, frowned and asked, "Sister-in-law, are you feeding me yourself?"

"He has a strong mouth, and the wet nurse doesn't have enough milk. We haven't found a second wet nurse yet, so I'll feed him first." Zhao Wangshu couldn't explain that it was good for babies to eat colostrum, so he just gave up a random excuse.

Song Yuanqu heard this and didn't ask any more questions.

After Zhao Wangshu had finished feeding the child, he called Luzhi in and rolled up the curtain.

Song Yuanqu looked at the child and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, Xiao Yu'er looks so much like you."

"Er Xiaomu, of course he looks like me, and Xiao Jun'er looks like you too." Zhao Wangshu said with a smile.

While she was talking, Mrs. Zhao Li came and she was about to carry Xiao Yuer to the front.

"Thank you for your hard work, grandma." Zhao Wangshu handed his son into her hands.

"You are still in confinement, so don't hold the baby less to avoid arm pain in the future." What Zhao Li cares about most is her daughter.

"I just gave him a hug." Zhao Wangshu said with a smile.

"Sister-in-law, you have a good rest, we are going out." Song Yuanqu hugged Xiao Jun'er and followed Zhao Li out.

The washing ceremony is an important ceremony after the birth of a newborn, which means washing away the dirt on the child and welcoming new life.

In the main hall, thirteen statues of gods including Bixia Yuanjun, Qiongxiao Empress and Yunxiao Empress are still enshrined on the incense table.

Millet is placed in the incense burner and used as incense ashes for incense sticks.

A pair of "small double bags" are inserted on the wax skewers, and underneath are pressed yellow coins, ingots, thousands of pieces, etc. to worship the gods.

"Add more pots, add more pots, you will live longer and be richer." Po Wen held the pot and asked the guests to add pots.

To add water, she said: "The water is clean, wash it off, you will be smart, and everyone will be happy."

When adding gold and silver, she said: "The basin is full of gold and silver, and wealth is boundless. The child will definitely have abundant wealth and long-lasting blessings in the future."

Following Wenpo's auspicious words, the guests poured water, gold, silver, pearls and other objects into the basin.

After adding the basin, Mrs. Wen took the child from Mrs. Zhao Li, unwrapped the swaddling clothes, took out the white and tender baby, and began to bathe the child.

While washing, he recited the congratulatory message, "Wash your hair first, and you will become a prince; wash your waist last, and you will become taller with each generation."

The guests also wished in unison: "Long life, wealth and wealth!"

After the third bath, Mrs. Wen dressed the child in new clothes and wrapped it in new swaddling clothes, and handed it back to Mrs. Zhao, who took it back.

Yun Hao politely said to the guests: "Thank you all for coming to attend my third baptism banquet. Yun has specially prepared a banquet to thank you. Please come to the main hall to have a meal."

The guests stood up one after another, thanked Yun Hao, and walked to the main hall.

Not long after the banquet started, someone came from the palace. The emperor presented a table of royal banquets and a longevity lock inlaid with gold and jade. "Congratulations to Master Yun, happy to have Lin'er."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yun Hao thanked him and ordered his servants to send the longevity lock to Zhao Wangshu.

During the banquet, the guests toasted and congratulated Yun Hao one after another, and Yun Hao responded one by one. The atmosphere was warm and harmonious.

Everyone was envious of Yun Hao's favor.

After the banquet, Yun Hao sent the guests away and thanked Zhao Cui and the others again and again, "Thank you so much, grandma and grandma, for coming to help me today."

"We are one family, and we don't talk about two families. You have worked hard, so there is no need to send them off. Go back and have a rest." Mrs. Zhao Cui smiled and got on the carriage.

Yun Hao escorted the Zhao family out of the house before turning back to Linglong Courtyard.
