Chapter 67

Xin Ruo nodded, lifted the quilt and got out of bed, and Mother Su hurriedly took the clothes to cover her, "In the future, put on the clothes before getting out of bed, or you will catch a cold easily. The food is warmed by the stove, and you can eat it after washing your face." gone."

Xin Ruo nodded with a smile. This meal was quite a lot. Mother Su was watching from the side for fear that she would spoil her stomach. When Xin Ruo asked for more food, she only gave a little bit. Sorrow, those who are not given food are bad people.

"Girl has already eaten two bowls, and if you eat any more, you will be overwhelmed. The servant girl ordered the kitchen to make you a supper, and it will be the same if you eat it later." Mama Su's scalp was numb from being watched, and she tried hard to persuade .

Xin Ruo put down her chopsticks just now, there is no other way, when she is in a good mood, her appetite will improve, uh, the most important thing is that she didn't eat seriously for two meals...

Xin Ruo blushed a little bit embarrassedly when she saw a table of similar meals swept away... Did she look a little like a starved ghost reincarnated...

After dinner, Xin Ruo went to the third aunt's house to play with the children. Although they slept with their eyes closed most of the time, Xin Ruo just liked to play with them. I almost asked my third aunt to take one back to play.

Xin Ruo went back to the courtyard and ate supper, but she couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

Su's mother was embroidering tiger-toed shoes for them. Xin Ruo also thought about what to give, so she hurried to the study, picked up a pen and paper, and started to draw. The next morning, she ordered Zilan to go outside.

In the past two days, Xin Ruo completely forgot about preparing the dowry, and spent most of the day in the third aunt's yard, and even the third aunt couldn't get away.

Of course, how could she be willing to really shock Xin Ruo, thinking that Xin Ruo was about to get married, the chances of seeing her would be less in the future, and she wished she could hang around every day.

The old lady also came twice a day, and the good things were delivered to Third Auntie like running water. If it wasn't for the fact that the child was young and it was cold outside, the old lady really wanted to take her home.

This idea is definitely the same as that of Xin Ruo. Xin Ruo wonders if it is because of genetic reasons.

Xin You was also jumping and jumping happily. There are younger siblings in the house, who are also the third sister's own younger siblings, just like hers.

The feeling of being an older sister is really great. Whenever I have time, I ask the elder sister who knows how to sew in the house to teach her how to sew, and I plan to embroider a small bellyband for my younger siblings.

When San Yiniang was heavy, Xin Ruo wanted to make some small clothes for her younger siblings to show her intention of being an older sister, but San Yiniang told her not to do it, and she occasionally did some sewing.

Zhao's mother even prepared a lot, both boys and girls, enough, Xin Ruo saw that the big box was full, so she stopped doing it, now thinking about it, it's really not enough.

That one box is enough for one child, but it is not enough for two children.

So I took the time to make a small apron. In fact, I made one before. The two pieces have the same style, only the color is different.

When I gave it to third aunt, third aunt gave Xin Ruo a sideways look, "You have to prepare a dowry for yourself, and Mama Su has already made it for them, so why don't you do it yourself? Make a few more for your son when you have time." Clothes are tight."

Xin Ruo immediately rolled her eyes, "My daughter is not married yet, and my mother's heart is turned to outsiders. It hurts my daughter too much. I am your own."

Could it be that the mother-in-law likes her son-in-law more and more?It seems that maybe the two haven't met each other yet, right?

When it comes to making clothes, Xin Ruo is angry in her heart. It is really miserable. Some time ago, the Funing Palace sent someone to send a special message, asking her to embroider four leaves on the cuffs of the clothes prepared for the prince. Grass.

Xin Ruo knew who's idea was at a guess, and whenever it was time to make clothes for him, her face couldn't help turning red, and Zi Lan often made fun of her.

Xin Ruo reckoned that the third aunt who never went out had heard the news, so she must be making fun of her now.

Well, Xin Ruo may have misunderstood this time, San Yiniang really didn't mean to make fun of it, she just came over when she saw Xin Ruo blushed, covered her mouth and smiled straight, Xin Ruo blushed even more when she saw her.

Three days later, it will be three days of washing. In ancient times, children were not born to take a bath, so they had to wait until the third day to wash. Although Xin Ruo saw that his younger siblings were uncomfortable, he had already wiped them for them secretly.

But this third washing still has to be held as it is, firstly to cleanse the filth and eliminate disasters; secondly, to pray for good fortune and good luck.

On this day, many relatives and friends came to Yuan's mansion, all of them were from the old lady's natal family, only the elder brother and sister-in-law came to the eldest lady's house, and this was not the eldest wife's son, the elder brother and sister-in-law came only to save face for the Yuan family.

The old lady didn't mind either, she still greeted everyone with vigor and vigor, and the eldest lady was also allowed to leave the yard, but her face was full of forced smiles.

The "washing three" ceremony is held in the afternoon and is presided over by the midwife Wen Po.

First of all, set up an incense table on the front of the outer hall of the delivery room to worship thirteen gods including Bixia Yuanjun and Songzi Niangniang. The millet is placed in the incense burner, which is used as incense ashes to insert incense, and it is also dedicated to Kanggong and Kangmu...

When all the complicated etiquette was ready, the prelude to "washing three" kicked off. The family took the lead in adding a small spoonful of water to the basin, and put some coins as "addition basin".

After "adding the pot", Wen Po picked up the mallet and stirred it into the pot, saying: "Stir it once, stir it twice, stir it again and again, the elder brother leads the younger brother to run, seventy, eighty, crooked, naughty, Xilihulu is here!"

After finishing speaking, he officially took a bath. At this time, Xin Ruo's legs were already numb, and his eyes were rolling. It would be better if he didn't wash.

There is a lot of mess in the water basin, full of copper smell, it is strange that it can be cleaned after washing, and it is necessary to wash it again later, the name is: wash away the copper smell all over the body!

In the washbasin, the two children were playing with water, their calves were straight, the room was very warm, and they were not afraid of freezing them. No matter where they washed, they would say a lot of auspicious words, and the whole room laughed and congratulated them.

After taking a bath, Xin Ruo watched Mrs. Wen piercing the child's ears with an embroidery needle, her eyes were wide open, and she subconsciously touched her own ear piercing. Why don't you hurt the child like this? It's only three days old, how painful it is Ah, how cruel, how tragic!
It's unreasonable!
The "Three Washing" ceremony lasts from noon to sunset. If there are many relatives and friends, it is estimated that there will be in the middle of the night. Xin Ruo looked at the "Tian Pot" that was finally taken away by Mrs. Wen, and the washing was done. Jing's younger siblings Ning'er and Xin'er.

Xin Ruo looked at the sunset in the sky silently, and sighed, in the future, her children must never hold the three-washing ceremony, it is purely for the purpose of torturing people!
After the guests had finished the dinner, Xin Ruo dragged her tired feet to the third aunt's room. Mother Zhao was serving the third aunt to drink chicken soup. Seeing Xin Ruo's appearance, she said distressedly, "Are you tired today?"

Xin Ruo shook her head and said with a smile, "It's not that I'm tired, it's just that my legs are sore from standing, it's fine to sit."

When San Yiniang heard this, she hurriedly told Mo Lan Zi Lan, "Hurry up and rub San Miss's legs, it's no wonder her legs don't feel sore after standing for a whole day."

When Mo Lan and Zi Lan heard this, they squatted down and wanted to pinch Xin Ruo's legs, but Xin Ruo hurriedly stopped her and said, "You're so squeamish, just rest for a while, and you all find a place to sit down and stand with me." It's been a long time."

After Molan and Zilan heard this, they stood up straight. This was Xin Ruo's request. She didn't like to repeat things, so that the old man would develop the habit of being long-winded.

The nurse over there carried Ning'er and Xin'er into the house, and within three days, the baby had changed a lot, the skin was no longer the color of the womb, it was a lot whiter, and the eyes were opened longer.

Xin Ruo was teasing them, suddenly remembered something, hurriedly motioned to Zilan, Zilan understood, turned and left the house.

After a while, Zi Lan brought a small bundle, which contained two pear wood boxes, and San Yiniang looked at Xin Ruo in surprise, not knowing what she was going to do.

It wasn't until Xin Ruo opened it that she saw that there was a set of jewelry inside, including bracelets, anklets, collars, and longevity locks, each of the two children had a set.

Seeing this, San Yiniang couldn't help scolding Xin Ruo, "The old lady has already prepared these things, why do you bother to spend this money?"

These two sets, each with a few hundred taels of silver, I'm afraid they won't be able to buy them. They are unique in style and fine in workmanship, and they are even better than the ones given by the old lady.

More importantly, the two sets look almost identical, and you can't tell the difference unless you look closely. The longevity lock sent by the old lady can be distinguished at a glance.

Xin Ruo didn't care, she just likes to give things to children, and said after hearing this, "Mother said it herself, it was from the old lady, not from me, how can it be the same, besides, you have to pay for money if you earn money." Well, if I knew that Ning'er would have her ears pierced at such a young age, I should have prepared a pair of earrings for her."

After finishing speaking, Xin Ruo touched Ning'er's little face again, and continued, "I really hurt Ning'er today, so hurry up and make up another pair of earrings for you tomorrow, sister, it won't work, just a few more, but The pain can't be in vain."

The third aunt couldn't help laughing and said, "Which girl didn't come from pain."

This is absolutely true, but when Xin Ruo thought of Ning'er's sad appearance when she was crying, she almost couldn't help but go up to the steady woman, and she didn't know how to prepare anesthetics in advance. Well, there are no anesthetics at this time, but you can follow her. she said...

However, it is better for children not to use anesthesia, and it is better not to have their ears pierced. In the previous life, they did not wear them when they were in their 20s, because they were afraid.

Xin Ruo was still thinking, when a servant girl came in and told, "The second aunt and the second girl are here."

Xin Ruo was stunned for a moment, and just stood up from the edge of the bed, the second aunt over there entered the room gracefully, her steps were light and rustling, and before she got close, Xin Ruo smelled a pungent fragrance.

Xin Ruo rolled her eyes speechlessly, how much face powder she had put on today, and hurriedly signaled the maid in the room to block the screen with the window, and then open the window for ventilation.

Then, saluting to the second aunt and Yuan Xinran, the second aunt seemed to have never seen Xin Ruo, and said to the maid who opened the window, "Third aunt is in confinement, how can you blow the cold wind, close it quickly."
