Chapter 236
A newborn baby sleeps all day long, eats and sleeps well, eats well, and grows very quickly, almost as fast as the wind. The red color soon fades and becomes white and tender.
Her hair falls softly on her forehead, and the facial features on her tender and tender face are gradually opening up. Her eyes are almost similar to Cheng Xunxun's, but rounder, and as black and bright as black crystals. Looking at those eyes makes her heart beat.
It melted away.
Hua Ruo and the others were extremely accommodating. They hung around the young master all day long, and even Yu Zhu had to lean back.
Brother Xi called out, and they all chatted for a long time, which made Yu Zhu feel proud and helpless at the same time. Unable to bear it, he held the little swaddle in his arms and kissed Brother Xi hard on the face.
The child didn't cry at all. He only grabbed a strand of Yu Zhu's hair and stared at her with dark eyes. Yu Zhu smiled and stretched out his hand to take out the hair.
Unexpectedly, as soon as my fingers touched Brother Xi's hand, which was not much bigger than a jujube, the tightly clenched fist loosened, and the tender fingertips were as white as jade, with a lovely pink color.
It doesn't work anymore, it doesn't work anymore, Yu Zhu couldn't help but kiss him again, God, such a little person was born by himself!
Mother Ruan couldn't stop laughing and joked: "At first you thought the young master was ugly, but now he's not ugly anymore."
"Mom, you must have heard wrong. When did I dislike him?" Yu Zhu refused to admit it. He took off the swaddling clothes outside and put Brother Xi, who was only wearing a small coat, into his quilt, revealing only a small baby.
The round head is outside the quilt.
"Go to sleep, go to bed...you're not allowed to wet the bed, you know?" Then he lay down, gently next to the soft little body that smelled like milk, feeling extremely satisfied.
However, Brother Xi was not satisfied. His limbs were freed from the restraints, and he immediately began to dance restlessly, with his tender lotus-like calves kicking Yu Zhu's arms.
He refused to rest his hand and landed a punch on Yu Zhu's cheek.
Yuzhu began to feel sleepy, stretched out his hand to press the edge of the quilt, and muttered: "Be good, be good, sleep quickly..."
It's a pity that a certain baby didn't buy it. He was finally able to move his hands and feet freely. Naturally, he didn't want to sleep and kept making noises. Moreover, he couldn't lift the quilt because he didn't have the strength in his hands, and his face turned red with anxiety.
Yu Zhu had no choice but to get up while rubbing his eyes, patted Brother Xi's little butt gently, wrapped him up tightly again, and then handed him to Mama Ruan to hold him and play with him.
This child... Before Yu Zhu fell asleep, he was still smiling and thinking silently.
When I woke up, I saw Hua Ruo waiting in front of the bed. Seeing Yu Zhu open her eyes, she hurriedly reported: "Madam, Grandma Chen San came to see you. She heard that you were asleep and waiting in the flower hall for a long time.
.”
Yu Zhu blinked and then realized, "Grandma Chen San?"
Why is she here?
"Hua Ruo, clean it up for me." How are you going to meet guests with this sloppy look that you just woke up from?
Hua Ruo hurriedly rolled up her sleeves, twisted a hot towel, and came over to wipe Yu Zhu's face. Then she took a wooden comb and smoothed her hair, and tied it into a bun at the back of her head. She held up a mirror and showed it to Yu Zhu.
I went to invite Grandma Chen San to come in.
In the morning garden, tea was served on a tea tray, and a plate of sliced peaches was also brought along.
"I've been doing confinement for so long, and you just came to see me." Yu Zhu wanted to laugh when she saw Grandma Chen San's plump figure unchanged from last year, and couldn't help but joke.
Grandma Chen San was impatient to sit on the imperial chair, so she sat down on the plum blossom stool next to the bed. She ignored Yu Zhu's teasing and looked around: "Where is the child? Stop hiding it. Come quickly and let me take a look."
Yu Zhu had no choice but to tell Hua Ruo to find Ruan's mother and bring Brother Xi to "receive the guests."
"I heard that you gave birth, and I wanted to come and see you, but it's a pity that my mother-in-law won't let you bother me." Grandma Chen San complained, but she smiled happily after a moment and said mysteriously: "But it's too early, so I can't tell you this sad news.
Already."
He said it with a look like "I know you don't like to go out, but now you are sitting in the house and confinement, you must not know... thank me quickly."
Yuzhu cooperated and acted like he was listening.
"Master Zou, the Minister of Punishment, do you know?"
"I've heard of it." Her father's immediate boss, but Yu Zhu's most profound memory is that he once gave two beautiful singers to his family, but they were finally taken care of by Mrs. Cui.
"The eldest daughter of the Zou family married a Yuan family from Hongnong. It took her two years of hard work to get pregnant. She was still raising the fetus. One day, she heard someone said that someone sent by her father to deliver something was coming, so she happily asked someone to come in.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a person who specializes in training singers, and he led four coquettish and beautiful singers to the door... He also said that Mr. Zou ordered her to deliver them."
Yuzhu was speechless and speechless in surprise, how is this possible? When a father gives a beautiful singer to his son-in-law when his daughter is pregnant, who would do such a thing if their brains were kicked by a donkey!
Grandma Chen San's eyes were beaming, "I didn't expect it... no one would have thought of it, so I took it as a joke. It spread so quickly, I'm afraid you are the only one who doesn't know!"
"Then what?" Yu Zhu couldn't help but ask, leaning on the pillow, feeling a little dizzy. Could it be that she didn't listen the right way? He hurriedly abandoned the soft pillow and sat up straight.
"Then... Miss Zou was so angry that she cried. Then she called for a doctor and sent people back to the Zou Mansion to make a fuss. It was a mess. Mrs. Zou refused and immediately had a quarrel with Mr. Cui, and then
He went back to his parents' house... Mr. Zou doesn't admit it, but what's the use of not admitting it, people just use his name, even if it's not him, the reputation has spread."
"...You look peaceful, but I don't know how many ladies in Beijing are secretly happy." Grandma Chen San lowered her voice: "My mother-in-law was also happy, and she raised two enchanting singers in the side courtyard with her feet.
Ji was sold, and my father-in-law didn't say a word... Those two were given by Mr. Zou. They have been favored for several years. One of them was brave and secretly stopped taking the anti-child decoction. Fortunately, my mother was strict and discovered it in time.
There was no mistake."
Although the singer can be given away at will, it is a matter of your own free will. The two of them have discussed it, one is willing to take it, and the other is willing to give it, so everyone is happy. Master Zou can just give it to himself, and it is very satisfying.
It's easy to attract people who don't want to be seen.
Mr. Zou came to power through his wife's family. He always feels that he is a dwarf. It is normal to want to build some relationships on his own, but if he goes too far, he is not a good person.
...Some people are like this. They are maggots, and they think the whole world is a cesspool.
In fact, it is easy to guess that someone is playing a trick on him, but there are so many people to whom he has sent singers one after another that it is impossible to exclude them from the circle.
I wonder if it was Cui's handiwork? Yuzhu thought for a while, if he had enough money on hand, it would be easy to arrange such a simple but effective scheme. Anyway, the purpose is just reputation, and no evidence is needed.
Grandma Chen San said she was thirsty, so she poked a piece of peach meat with a silver signature. The meat was tender and light yellow, juicy and thick, and sweet as honey. She couldn't help but eat another piece.
"Madam." Mother Ruan had been here a long time ago. She just saw Yu Zhu and Grandma Chen San talking and waited at the door for a while. After seeing them finish speaking, she came in with a smile.
"Hey, give me a hug." Grandma Chen San's eyes lit up when she saw the little swaddle in Mother Ruan's arms. She immediately dropped the silver sign in her hand and wanted to grab it.
Seeing how she was showing her teeth and claws, Yu Zhu was still a little worried, so he winked at Ruan's mother and asked her to carry the child to the bed - even though Grandma Chen San had rough hands and feet, she still had a bed to block her.
Unexpectedly, although Grandma Chen San was careless, she was very steady and careful when she picked up the child. Her posture was as professional as that of Mother Ruan.
Seeing Yuzhu's surprise, she smiled proudly: "To put it bluntly, my little brother has been raised by me since he was a child."
She looked lovingly at Brother Xi in her arms, shook it gently, and said as if she liked something, "It's so good, like a jade ball... How come this little nose and eyes are so beautiful?
Woolen cloth?"
Brother Xi was just carried around the room by Mama Ruan. He was a little sleepy after playing. He didn't even respond to Chen San's enthusiasm. He stretched out his pink tongue and licked his lips, his eyes squinting.
It's time to go to sleep.
When Grandma Chen San saw it, her eyes turned into slits with a smile. She took out a small jade cicada with a green and white jade belt and a hole in the sky and hung it on the child. Then she held it in her arms for a while and then handed it over to the wet nurse.
Seeing how much she liked her, Yu Zhu couldn't help but worry when he thought that she had been begging for a child for so many years and said, "...have you...have you found a capable doctor to take a look? Your mother-in-law must be worried too."
Chen San's smile suddenly dimmed and she said angrily, "Why didn't you look at it? I took the medicine in handfuls. What kind of damage has it done to me? There is still no news... You said you obviously
They all look like bamboo poles that are about to fall over when the wind blows, but it’s easy to give birth to a baby, so how come it’s so difficult for me to do this?”
Yuzhu was silent, Grandma Chen San was married in the House of the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue. Due to her status, she could not hire any doctor, even the imperial physician in the palace... She had to comfort her with "the fate has not come yet".
The fate between people is really wonderful. Ru Qing is the kind of aloof and sensitive type. I have always been insensitive to this kind of people before, but through some strange combination of circumstances, they became friends because of their common hobbies. Another example is Grandma Chen San, whose temperament
It suits my own taste, but they have only known each other for a short period of time, but they somehow got along well with each other and became extremely harmonious gossip friends.
Thinking that it had been a long time since she had seen Ruqing come to the door, she was usually worried about her mother-in-law and grandma. It was not good for her as a granddaughter-in-law to go out, but she was supposed to come to see her after giving birth... Yuzhu was a little worried, so she and Chen
The third grandma asked about it, and found out that she didn't know either, and she hadn't been in contact with Ruqing for some time. Occasionally, she submitted a post, but was blocked by Mrs. Tan. In addition, she was busy taking care of herself, so she was rejected.
After mentioning it once or twice, I didn’t mention it again.
Not getting an answer, Yu Zhu became more and more worried, but he had no choice but to hold back and inquire about some novel things in Beijing - this was also a rare pastime.
Because apart from hearing these things from here, there is really nothing else to do. After all, there are very few people around like Grandma Chen San who did not grow up in Beijing and still have some innocence in their temperament.
The sadness of not being able to have a child came and went as quickly as it came. Grandma Chen San regained her energy after chatting with Yu Zhu. When she left, she praised the delicious peaches and asked Yu Zhu to take some back home, saying that she was honoring her mother-in-law.
.
After seeing off Grandma Chen San, before Yu Zhu had time to worry about Ru Qing, she saw Cheng Xunxun coming in with a cold face. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation at Qidian)
