Sir, can you marry me?

Chapter 176

"Go, go, I'm here, you all go over and sit down, waiting to eat egg brown sugar water. By the way, Master Ling, since you are here, don't leave, come and eat egg brown sugar water too." Mrs. Xu grabbed the wringer The dried diaper shook towards Xiao Wenqing and Ling Yuxuan, trying to coax them away.These two are distinguished guests, can she let them do things with code words?

"Sister-in-law Xu, isn't this in line with the custom? I'm a man, so I can't visit confinement women." Ling Yuxuan said while skillfully digging well water to help Xiao Wenqing wash his hands.Although he hadn't specifically asked about this aspect, he had heard of it and knew about women's taboos.

The three servant girls stood far away, unwilling to approach.They are used to clean and easy work, and they also carry the toilet buckets in the master's room and their own room outside, and let the second-class maids or lower-class servants take them out to wash.

"What's the matter? You are a noble person, and you can't even invite them. You came to the door without any taboo, how could I let you go?" Aunt Zhao said with a smile.

Aunt Xu and Aunt Zhao saw the three little girls cowering, and immediately laughed. One said, a little girl is just a little girl, and she hates beauty, and the other said, don't think it stinks. When you get married and have children , you won't feel disgusted.The two of them are people who have experienced it, and they have been soiled by children for countless times.

The crystal agate and the green calyx looked at each other in blank dismay, that was for the future, they were still early.

After Xiao Wenqing washed her hands, Aunt Zhao shouted: "Yuxuan, you and your guards are old men, just sit outside, women in the room are always a bit bloody during confinement, it is not suitable for you men. Wenqing, You take your maids in, sit down and have a rest, and take a look at your sister-in-law and little niece." Wen Qing, Yuxuan, three guards and three maids, she immediately went to the kitchen to make poached eggs in sugar water.

Knowing that the godmother would not let herself into the kitchen, Xiao Wenqing said: "Godmother, hurry up, I will go to see my sister-in-law by myself. Yuxuan, you wait, I will move some benches for you to sit down on." Saying, She brought three maids into the house, moved a few long benches for Ling Yuxuan and the others to sit on, and then went in to visit her sister-in-law.

The three maids also wanted to see the baby, so they all followed Xiao Wenqing in curiously.

"Wen Qing, I heard your voices." Mrs. Zhao who was sitting on the bed said with a smile.A blue cloth was wrapped around her head, and behind her was a folded quilt and a pillow, and a baby swaddled on the outside of the bed.On the wooden bench at the foot of the bed was a wooden basin half filled with water, with a cloth towel over the edge of the wooden basin.There are some water stains on the ground, and there are two diapers that have just been changed.

The room was a bit dark, with only a gap in the window, poor ventilation, and a strange smell mixed with a faint milky smell and stink.

Is this the smell of a woman during confinement?Is the sister-in-law's milk good? Is the child enough to eat?She should have bought some supplements on the way.

Thinking about it, Xiao Wenqing walked into the room.

This smell...

Crystal agate and green calyx looked at each other, and slowly walked into the house. Aunt Zhao's house was always clean, so how could there be such a strange smell in the house.

Seeing the strange expressions on the faces of the three maids, Mrs. Zhao said with a wry smile: "Wenqing, mother is not allowed to open the window to ventilate, and only washes and changes clothes for me. I think my room smells weird. Niuniu just shitted, mother Just changed her diaper and haven't cleaned up the dirty diaper yet."

Xiao Wenqing smiled and walked quickly to Aunt Zhao and sat down, saying: "This is how women confinement should be." She vaguely remembered that someone said in a dream that women have various taboos during confinement.

"Sister-in-law, congratulations on your safe delivery." Xiao Wenqing said.The eldest sister-in-law now has a plump face, a pale complexion, and rosy cheeks. It seems that she has been well taken care of by the godmother.

"Oh, it's a pity that it's not a son." Mrs. Zhao said regretfully.Having a son is the hope of all women. Only those who have given birth to sons can stand up and speak in their husband's house.Both the mother-in-law and husband-in-law said they like girls very much, but she hopes that her husband's son will continue the incense of the Zhao family.

"Having children is arranged by God, not a woman can decide." Xiao Wenqing comforted her, "You and elder brother are both young, and there will be opportunities to have sons in the future."

"Yes." Aunt Zhao also nodded.

Looking at the little red silk baby, Xiao Wenqing asked excitedly, "Sister-in-law, can I hug it?" The baby had stopped crying, and his eyes seemed to be looking around.

"Okay." Mrs. Zhao said with a smile.

Xiao Wenqing stretched out her hand and carefully picked up the red silk swaddle, her heart trembling a little.This is a child, a newborn child... Its hair is very lush, black and shiny.Its face is so small, its eyebrows are faint, and its skin is a little red, just like the newborn baby boy in her foreseeing dream.child, child...

The three maids were very curious and gathered around Xiao Wenqing to look at the child.They are all servant girls, and they have lived in the master's back house since they were young. They have never seen the master's house without babies.

The baby is so small, even the swaddle is only two feet long; its face is only the size of their palm, and its features seem to be squeezed together.Uncle Zhao doesn't know what he looks like, Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao don't look ugly, why is this baby so ugly?
The crystal agate green calyx looked at it, always thinking that the future baby of the adult "Uncle" and his wife "Miss" must be better-looking than this baby.

"Sister-in-law, does she have a name?" Xiao Wenqing asked excitedly.
