Rebirth of the famous family

Chapter 508
Today, the little princess Xisan of the Dongping Hou Mansion actually came with three concubines, which shows the rise of the Anyuan Hou Zuo clan and the importance the royal family attaches to the Anyuan Hou Mansion.But at this time, a nanny came in and said with a smile: "Ma'am, the time has come, should we start the little princess's three baptisms now?"

Mrs. Dongping Hou hurriedly lifted her body when she heard the words, and she personally picked up the baby. The fourth prince, Princess Yi, has the highest status here. Earlier, Mrs. Dongpinghou had asked her to preside over the three baptisms of her beloved daughter. Upon hearing this, Princess Yi also stood up with a smile. Standing up, she bent forward and gently took the baby from Mrs. Dongpinghou's arms, and said: "Madam rest, I will take the little princess out to salute first."

Mrs. Dongping Hou nodded with a smile, and bowed slightly, Fang said: "The minister's body is not good enough to get up, so I will trouble the princess."

Princess Yi smiled and nodded, then turned around and carried the baby out of the house, all the wives got up one after another and went to the flower hall to watch the ceremony.Jinse followed the crowd out of the house and walked towards the flower hall. Mrs. Liu, who had just spoken, walked behind her, and heard her whispering to Mrs. Zhang, who had just pulled her back, "Why didn't Mrs. Zhang tell me to take her back?" Are you done talking?"

"You followed Mr. Liu in office and now you just came to Beijing. Maybe you don't know that this Mrs. Hou has the strongest temper. Her daughter is the princess, and the number one scholar is no matter how beautiful she is, she is mostly a poor child. As a low-ranking official, slowly gaining qualifications, if you have no connections, you will hardly become a public official in your life. How can a strong person like Mrs. Hou look down on this kind of family? Most people are not happy with what you say, and you may even offend others... ..."

"Hey, I didn't expect that, thank you sister for reminding me."

Jinse faintly heard the conversation between the two, and her eyes flickered slightly.The three rites of baptism are a very important ceremony in the birth ceremony of a child. It is extremely cumbersome to gather relatives and friends to wish the baby good luck, and the most important thing is to wash the child's body.If it is a baby girl, it is necessary to prepare red silk thread to thread the embroidery needle soaked in sesame oil in the wine cup for three days, and to pierce the ears of the baby girl on the third day.

Most of the maternity nurses who presided over the three baptism ceremonies invited respectable old ladies from their own clan, and Princess Anle today was no exception for the three baptisms. She invited a blessed old lady from the Chen clan, But she saw that she lit the Ai Yeqiu'er with ginger slices as a support, approached the baby girl held by Princess Yi, and symbolically burned her forehead, and then rolled the egg on the baby's face, and said with a smile: " The egg rolls on the face, the face is like egg skin, the willow red is like white, you are really a lover." After speaking, he lightly hit the swaddling baby three times with a green onion, and said: "One dozen is smart, and the other is smart. ..."

Jinse and all the wives were sitting to watch the ceremony, and two servants of Dongping Hou Mansion walked in front of the ladies with gilded trays. Seeing the two ladies with the plate, one looking at about [-], and the other Nai Huaxin woman, both of them are extremely beautiful, dressed in wealth and grace, with happy faces, they smiled and asked Princess Yong beside her, "Sister-in-law Wuhuang, these two are the two concubines of Marquis Dongping, right? They are all beautiful, gentle and charming."

Concubine Yong glanced at the two women when she heard the words, Fang nodded, and said: "It is the two concubines. I heard that they were the first relatives proposed by the Anyuan Houfu to the Dongping Houfu. However, Mrs. Hou had her body injured in her early years, and the imperial doctor said that she might not be able to conceive again. Mrs. Dongping Hou thought that Mrs. Hou had no heirs, so she wanted to choose one of the noble girls in the capital to carry Mrs. Hou into the mansion as a concubine to continue the bloodline. How could Lord Hou be willing to wrong Madam like that? Madam Hou had no choice but to take a step back. Although she did not choose a concubine among noble daughters, the two concubines were both of innocent background, and Madam Hou personally chose them for Master Hou with outstanding appearance. However, she has no choice but to enter the mansion for many years and still fails to give birth to a boy and a half girl for Master Hou, and finally Mrs. Hou gave birth to a daughter at an advanced age. It is really unpredictable in this world."

Jinse nodded when she heard the words, but said: "Mrs. Hou is so generous and virtuous that she can personally find such a beautiful concubine for Lord Hou. What's rare is that these two concubines are also peaceful and happy with Mrs. Hou's happiness." , Such harmony between wives and concubines is really amazing."

Concubine Yong was taken aback when she heard this, and then said: "You can't say that. These two concubines are only from poor backgrounds. Even if they are girls from a good family, how can they compare with a family like Anyuan Houfu? Even if they can have children The heirs of Master Hou are also named under Madam Hou's name and raised as his son. Madam Hou doesn't have to be afraid of them making trouble. If so, why don't they treat them favorably? First of all, they can gain a good reputation. Next time Lord Hou will be grateful to Madam, and treat Madam better than before. What's more, these two concubines have never given birth to concubine children, Madam Hou will naturally treat them more generously. And the status of the two concubines is low, how dare they compete with the main family ? Now that Mrs. Hou has given birth to an heir again, they naturally take more pleasure in Mrs. Hou's happiness."

Concubine Yong glanced at Jinse and said with a smile: "It's like the sixth younger brother. You can't say that the younger brother treats the younger brother with respect. Now that the younger brother and sister are pregnant, why don't they take the gift that the father rewarded the sixth brother?" How many bearded women are going to the banquet? This is the same reason, the only blame is that we are born as women, so we have to make such a magnanimous gesture."

She shook her head and smiled again as she spoke, Fang took Jinse's hand and said, "Fifth sister-in-law, I'm straightforward, so don't blame me for the sixth sibling."

Jinse also shook her hand back, and said with a smile: "Where is the fifth emperor's wife talking? I don't know many women in the capital. The fifth emperor's wife doesn't meet me, and she is willing to talk to me. It's too late for me to be happy, so how can I be offended?"

The three baptisms over there between the two were talking and laughing. The baby was crying loudly because his ears were pierced, and was carried back to the room by Princess Yi. On three sides, there is nothing unusual about it, most of the wives would not stay for the banquet, and they left one after another without leaving too much trouble.

Jinse also bid farewell to Mrs. Dongpinghou, she went out of the courtyard, Song Shanggong and Bai Rui were already waiting, Song Shanggong rushed to greet her when she came out, but his face was slightly anxious and angry.
