Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 244 Jade Spider
Tianyou landed on September 30th. According to ancient rituals, a girl is born on a 29-day full moon, and a boy is only counted to [-] days.Therefore, Tianyou's full moon ceremony is on the ninth day of October.

Because of Cao Quan's funeral, he couldn't hold a banquet, so he only invited Ye Fu and his wife, the magistrate of Yizhou, to watch the ceremony. According to the regulations, these people gave Tianyou the fetal hair.After today, Chu Yu will no longer have to confine herself to confinement.

After recuperating for a month, Chu Yu's complexion is very good, and her skin is getting fairer.Although the pregnancy spot on the forehead has not disappeared, but it is faint and not very obvious.

This counts the days, Cao Yong and Chu Yu have been living in separate rooms for more than four months, intercourse has been banned since Chu Yu became pregnant.

Originally, when Cao Yong was unscrupulous, it was still counting Chuyu's postpartum days.According to the doctor, intercourse should be avoided within one and a half months after delivery.However, due to mourning, this deadline must be postponed for some time.Otherwise, as a nephew, letting his wife become pregnant during the mourning period will also be condemned by the world.

Li Shi and Chu Yu have been together for half a month, and the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has grown deeper.Mrs. Li herself is not a picky and troublesome person, and Chu Yu is very well-behaved in her words and deeds.Both the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were wearing plain clothes, with nothing more than a silver hairpin or a small comb on their hair, and both had gentle and demure personalities.It looked more like a mother and daughter than a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Seeing Cao Yong, he was also happy in his heart. They all said that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is a big problem. If it is true that they do not get along well, then he will definitely not feel good in the middle, and he will have to bother to mediate.

However, Mrs. Li couldn't stay any longer. After all, there was still a large family in Jiangning who needed to be taken care of. The luggage had already been packed, and they would leave for Jiangning tomorrow.

Although Cao Yong was reluctant, but because he was worried about Cao Yin's body, he didn't want to keep him.The same is true for Chu Yu's side. He just took all kinds of tonics sent by the capital a few days ago, such as ginseng and ganoderma, which prolong life, and asked someone to pack a few large bags and take them to his father-in-law.

Tianyou's name hasn't come out yet, it seems that he has to wait for a hundred days or one year old, or he has to wait for admission.Cao Yong thinks about himself, it seems that he only got a big name after a few years old, and he is no longer so eager for his son's name.

Wu'er already knows how to call people, and can also walk steadily. When she sees Li Shi, she may not remember it, but she will still follow her mother's reminder and call her "Auntie".

Chuyu and Cao Yong both like Wu'er, not to mention her beautiful appearance, she is also very quiet and well-behaved.No matter who hugs her, she is not afraid of people. Sometimes she chatters a few words; sometimes she just smiles and doesn't say a word.

After Cao Quan died of illness, Gao Taijun got the news and was very worried about the child he had taken care of for a year. He wrote to Jiang Ning and repeatedly told his daughter to treat this poor niece with extra kindness.

When returning to Jiangning this time, Mrs. Li was quite hesitant whether to bring her niece back.Now in this mansion, Tianyou has just reached the full moon, Chuyu is a new mother, it is not easy to take care of a child, plus Wuer, it is really hard work.However, considering that it is cold today, and going back and forth, I am afraid that Wu'er will not be able to bear it, so I want to wait until the spring of next year to see Zhao Jia's attitude before making a decision.

Besides Cao Yong and his wife, Yuzhu, the maidservant of West Road Main Court, was thinking about Mrs. Li's return to Jiangning.

Cao Song, as the eldest son, will be beheaded for three years for his father.Although it is actually only 27 months, but now only four months have passed, and there are still nearly two full years of filial piety, and it will not be abolished until September of the 53rd year of Kangxi.

Sitting in front of the dressing table, looking at her face in the mirror, Yu Zhu thought, she will be 20 years old by then, even if she looks younger, how can she compare with those little girls?There is no regret in my heart, the second master acted rudely, without half a heart of pity, how can he be a good match?
Compared with it, the uncle is the best choice no matter his character, appearance or future title.

Whenever she thinks of this, she can't help scolding Zhu'er and Cui'er in her heart, even for Zijing, she has to complain a few words.You know, the eight of them were chosen by the wife herself at the beginning, and they were to be sent to the sunflower courtyard to serve the uncle.Uncle Piansheng was in the grassland at the time, and his wife was in a hurry to go back to the south, and their identities were unknown.

When the uncle came back, he was bewitched by Zhu'er and Cui'er for some reason, so he didn't even keep the eight of them.Afterwards, the oldest sisters, Lianqiu and Xiqiu, went to Rongyuan, and the four sisters Chunya, Xiafu, Qiuxuan, and Dongzhi, who were somewhat similar in size and age, followed the third girl. Two dragons came to serve the second master.

Now seeing Zhu'er and Cui'er who can't get up or down, and they can't get anywhere, Yu Spider is also gloating.This is the aristocratic daughter of the Tian family, she is very kind in front of people, with a kind appearance, even if she and Yulong, who have no name and no status, have no intention of being contemptuous or contemptuous.

Thinking of Ye Momo who was sent back to the palace with a disgraced face, and thinking about Xiyu who was left in the mansion in the capital to look at the garden with the best color, Yuzhu groaned in her heart, she was just a jealous woman, if this The fetus is not a son born by luck, even if you are a princess, can you stop the uncle from taking a concubine and accepting the house?
In the world, there are a few men who don't like sex, even if they look at the uncle who has always been polite, don't they still have the time of "golden house hiding the beauty"?If it wasn't for the impediment of the status of the princess, and the second master Jiang Ning died of illness, there would be an extra aunt in the mansion if the guarantee is not complete.

Remembering that the princess and the uncle left the mansion in early June, and no one mentioned the "golden house hidden beauty" thing after that, Yuzhu was a little startled.Thinking about my own size, it would be fine if the mistress is a kind person, otherwise I don't know what will happen, and the rough guy of the second master can't be counted on.

Thinking of the nephews and young masters Cao Yanxiao and Cao Yanwei I met during the "Washing Three" and "Full Moon Ceremony".

I heard that a few days ago, someone was going to Zhang Luo Na Xiaoxing for the two brothers, but just in time for Cao Quan's death, the two of them went back to the funeral with Cao Yong, and they had to serve another five months of "minor work", so the matter was delayed .

If I hadn't taken an extra step back then, wouldn't it be much better to be a "nephew, aunt, and grandma" than this nameless girl?

Although Young Master Yanxiao looks mediocre, Young Master Yanwei is handsome, and the jade spider is also a woman's body.Thinking about today's full moon ceremony, Young Master Yanwei seemed to give her a long look. Could it be that he also had thoughts because of her good looks?Thinking of this, she only felt that her little heart was beating hard, and her face was already blushing.

At this moment, someone said: "Sister Spider, what's wrong with you? Your face is so red, can't you catch a cold and have a fever?"

It was Yulong who came, and just now she called for the door a few times, but seeing that she didn't answer, she opened the door and came in.

Jade Spider jumped up, shivered, the blush on her face disappeared, leaving only pale, she couldn't help but glared at Yuqin reproachfully: "Bad girl, who is so silent, who is trying to scare her to death? "

After putting the stack of clothes in her hands on the kang, Yulong said with a little grievance: "I called my sister several times just now, but my sister didn't answer! I don't know what my sister is thinking, she is so preoccupied!"

Yuzhu was a little guilty, and just happened to see the box of rouge made in the "Furongfang" on the dressing table in the capital, and said casually: "I saw the young master and thought of the third girl. If there is no confinement, the child will be treated like our young master." One month older!"

After hearing this, Yuqing hurriedly said: "Sister, shut up. Didn't Xia Fu tell us not to mention it? The uncle has always had the deepest relationship with the third girl. If I found out, I don't know what will happen! After all, it's the masters' business, since the third girl doesn't want to tell her natal family, let's just pretend not to know!"

This talk will start from the first month, when they will go south with Zijing and Mr. Zhuang.

Xia Fu, one of the four maidservants married to Jueluo's family along with the third girl Cao Yi, is from the same hometown as Yulong, and they spent the longest time together in the hands of Ren Yazi, and their relationship is very close.Therefore, when Cao Yi went to bid farewell to Zijing and the others, Xia Fu also came to bid farewell to the little sister.

During the conversation, Xia Fu inadvertently slipped her mouth. When she told about Cao Yi's miscarriage years ago, she was heard by the jade spider who came in to look for the jade dragon. After careful questioning, she found out that Qiu Xuan had been promoted as a housekeeper. Look at that , like Dongzhi also has this idea.

The Cao family has strict rules and has always been the most taboo of gossip from servants. Although Xia Fu said a few words for the girl's injustice, she dared not let them spread wantonly.Otherwise, no matter what happens to the Cao family, I am afraid that the girl will not be able to keep her serving.Begging Jade Dragon and Jade Spider in every possible way, almost forced them to swear an oath, so they could feel at ease.

Seeing Yuqin acting so obediently and acting like this, Yuzhu felt impatient, and couldn't help frowning, with a sad look on her face, and said with red circles: "Sister Qing is so cruel, not to mention that the third girl is a master." My sister, the second master's sister, has always been kind to us even if she treats us! I have suffered such a big grievance, but there is no one to talk to. Although there are big girls and Fujin in Beijing, I am afraid Can't take care of it. Even our mansion doesn't know, how can we let those two mansions know? There is absolutely no reason not to find my natal brothers, but to find my natal sisters!"

Listening to this, Yulong also felt sorry for Cao Yi, and couldn't speak for a while.

Yuzhu pretended to wipe away her tears, and said: "Now think about it, we have kept it a secret for so long, although we are sorry for Xia Fu, but we are sorry for the uncle and the second master! My sisters have suffered such grievances, but they are brothers and sisters. There is not even a little movement, maybe it will make the third uncle even more proud! Even if others say it, they only think that our house is easy to bully! Now, the third girl is going to mourn for the second master. If the uncle does something stupid again, I'm afraid the third girl will be wronged to death!"

Yuqin murmured: "On weekdays, I heard the second master mention the third son-in-law, and he only said that he was good. How could he become like this! It is the appearance of our third girl. Who can lose? Qiuxuan and Dongzhi two That's right, my conscience has been eaten by dogs, not to mention that the third girl has always treated people well; even if she has no name and no share, what can she do if she earns a house? She is not a slave, and when she has a child in the future, she will have to stand and wait share!"

Although Yulong's words were true, Yuzhu felt a little uncomfortable.She has been bored for the past few months, when she mentioned the matter of Cao Yi, her eyes rolled away, and some thoughts of watching a theater came to her mind.

I don't know what it would be like for the always prudent uncle in the mansion and the always reckless second master in the south to know that his sister has been wronged in such a way at her in-law's house?Are you yelling, or are you just not paying attention?
Men, it's really strange, they are only allowed to spoil other people's girls at will, and when it falls on their own sisters, how many people can bear it?Thinking of this, she suppressed her smile and thought to herself, it would be great if she was still in Beijing, maybe she could sing Quan Wu Xing; now that they are so far apart, apart from complaining and sending two stewards to send letters to reprimand, she can still sing. how?
Yu Zhu made up her mind, glanced at the clothes on the kang, and asked, "Sister Dragon sewed this for Second Master?"

Yulong nodded, and said: "Yes, although the second master does not lack these things over there, he has been idle for the past few months, so he fiddled with them. Tomorrow, I will ask my wife to bring them to the second master. Sister Spider, Is there anything to bring?"

Yuzhu frowned inadvertently, and said with a smile: "I've felt sorry for the second master these past few months, and I haven't done much sewing. There are only two plain purses and a letter to the second master. I'm just thinking about packing one. , ask Mrs. to take it over!"

Yulong said: "Sister is still careful, how can there be less clothes over there? But these small things, no one may have thought about preparing them." Speaking of this, he praised Yuspider for learning.

At the beginning, the eight of them who were bought were all treated by the babes and could read some words.However, because they are maids, they can mostly know a few words and accounts; the only ones who can read a book and write a letter are Sister Lianqiu and Yuzhu.

Jade Spider was very proud in her heart, but her face was just flat. When Yulong went out, she found a pen and ink and wrote a thick letter to Cao Song.
