The sturdy farmer's wife: the prince's favorite concubine

Chapter 382 Hairpin
Yang Yuanxiang also came here with the old lady. She was standing among the crowd with her little preserved egg in her arms, and Princess Yongning was standing beside her. This kind of scene was not suitable for Xie Shaoting, so if Xie Shaoting wasn't there, the fourth prince naturally didn't come.

Everyone is a female family member, so they stood in the inner courtyard and waited for the news.

Meng Changlu stood half a step behind Yang Yuanxiang, looking inside with a hint of anxiety on her face, it wasn't because she and Meng Changshuang were so sisterly.

Rather, she wanted to show everyone how kind-hearted she was, and how much sisterly love she had with Meng Changshuang, so that others would feel that it was Meng Changshuang who felt sorry for Xie's family, not her kind person.

"Sister, are you tired holding the little preserved egg? Why don't you give me a hug? You can also rest for a while. When I was in the palace, those girls gave birth all day long. Sometimes The fastest would take half a day."

Yongning said that he was about to reach out to hug the little preserved egg, but now the little preserved egg had already started to know people, so he was a little afraid of strangers, so when he saw many people he didn't know, he lay on Yang Yuanxiang's arms and looked outside with his eyes exposed.

Yongning came to hug him, but he didn't want Yongning either. He just turned his head and continued to lean on Yang Yuanxiang's shoulder, with a pair of round eyes, looking at other people with great interest.

Except for the old matriarch and people who were acquainted with Xie Shaoting, most of the rest of the people had never seen Little Preserved Egg. Seeing the future Shizi Concubine holding a child, everyone started talking a lot.

"Hey, look, who is the child in the arms of our future imperial concubine? Why doesn't he seem to have seen it before?"

As soon as someone asked, everyone looked at the little preserved egg. Seeing that everyone was looking at the little preserved egg, Yang Yuanxiang changed his position and protected the little preserved egg in his arms.

Although the little preserved egg is not her biological child, her feelings for the little preserved egg are true. After all, she has been raising the little preserved egg since the first day of birth, and this child is also very close to her.

The old matriarch had just taught Xie Qianming a lesson. When she heard these ignorant female family members talking about the little preserved egg, her face turned dark. The little preserved egg is her favorite child now. Anyone who wants to say that the little preserved egg is half a word, she thinks That person has trouble with her.

Seeing that the little preserved egg was frightened by everyone, the old lady coughed, stood next to Yang Yuanxiang, and took the little preserved egg over.

The little preserved egg also knew her, so he stretched out his hand to be hugged by her.

The old lady just laughed.

"I said there are too many gossips in our yard, and my great-grandson is Xiang'er's godson, the godson of our eldest son.

Although it is not my own, but I like it, I think the child is close to me, if anyone scares the child, don't blame me for cursing. "

As soon as these words were uttered, the big guy stopped talking immediately. Just looking at the old lady's intimacy with the little preserved egg, no one would think that the old lady's words were intimidating.

The little preserved egg seemed to feel something too. He raised his chubby little hand, looked at the hairpin on the old matriarch's head, and wanted to grab it. Like his younger brother Yang Yuanche, he both liked these shiny things. When Mrs. Shen was raising them, she loved to grab Mrs. Shen's hairpins.

So it's not surprising that he came to grab the old lady's hairpin now.

"You like it? Can the old ancestor play for you?"

After saying that, the old lady took off the hairpin and handed it to the little preserved egg.

Terrified, Mother Meng hurriedly reached out to pick it up, fearing that the little preserved egg would drop the hairpin on the ground.

"Old Madam, this is your dowry, how can it be used as a plaything for children?"

The old lady smiled indistinctly.

"Things are dead, but people are alive. Of course, the child is important. Whatever he wants, as long as my wife can afford it, I will give it to him."

Nanny Meng shook her head, the old lady liked the little preserved egg too much.

Thinking that it was a pity that the hairpin was broken, the old matriarch stretched out his hand and greeted Yang Yuanxiang.

"Xiang'er, come here."

Yang Yuanxiang leaned over with a smile, and the old lady pinned the hairpin on her head.

"Although the thing is dead, it's a pity if this jade falls, so you can wear it. I think the little preserved egg likes it very much, and I can't hold him anymore. You can hold it."

Seeing that the old matriarch gave away the emerald jade hairpin in a blink of an eye, Mother Meng's eyes widened. At first Xie Qianzhu wanted this hairpin as a dowry, but the old matriarch didn't agree. Now it's because the little preserved egg likes to grab it. She gave this hairpin to Yang Yuanxiang so easily?

She also dotes on the little preserved egg too much, right?

All the people present had the same thought as Nanny Meng, so their envious and unconvinced eyes all shot at Yang Yuanxiang.

Yang Yuanxiang was so frightened that he quickly declined.

"Grandmother, I'll return it to you later. It's a waste of such a precious hairpin for Little Preserved Egg."

Yang Yuanxiang was smart, firstly he told everyone that he would not want this hairpin, and secondly he also told everyone that this hairpin was for Little Preserved Egg, not her.

Unexpectedly, the old lady said as soon as she heard it.

"Then I'll wear it for you, as long as he likes it? Besides, I'm getting old, and my hair doesn't have much. It's not as black as yours, so it's suitable for this hairpin.

When I go back, I will give him a golden lock to carry, and let our little preserved egg live a long life. "

Yang Yuanxiang wanted to decline, but the old lady patted the back of her hand.

"Good boy, you are filial to grandma, and brought the little preserved egg to grandma to amuse her. Grandma is very happy. It's just a hairpin, so don't worry about it."

Having said all this, if Yang Yuanxiang refuses again, it will appear false and ignorant of etiquette, so she smiled slightly and thanked the old lady in everyone's envious or jealous eyes.

This episode passed quickly, and everyone's attention was attracted by the screaming Meng Changshuang. When it was approaching evening, a faint cry of a baby suddenly sounded in the room.

The old matriarch let out a long sigh of relief, and put his palms together quickly.

"Amitabha... Bodhisattva bless... bless our Xie family with a prosperous population and six animals. I will chant scriptures and pray for you."

As the old lady spoke, she took out a box and handed it to the midwife.

"This is a gift from me to my granddaughter-in-law. She deserves it for adding a child to our Xie family."

The younger generation will add children and grandchildren to the family, and the elders will give some gifts to the younger generation. The poorer families will give one or two copper coins, or one or two taels of silver, and the wealthy families will also give jade bracelets and gold bracelets.

Although the old lady only gave one box, for a family like the Xie family, no matter how bad it is, it would not be an ordinary thing.

The Xi Po happily took it in when she heard it, and seeing Meng Changshuang lying on the bed with a pale face, the Xi Po smiled and handed the box over.

"Madam is so lucky. The old lady delivered the things in directly from outside. This is the first time I have seen an elder deliver things so quickly."

Meng Changshuang looked proud.

"It is the old lady who is sympathetic to me. It is for the sake of the children. The old lady is very good to our mother and child. From now on, I must teach the children to be filial to the old lady."
