Chapter 372
There was also good news before the New Year that the third girl was diagnosed with pregnancy.
Hu Wenxi was so amazing that he went to two families to announce the good news. After showing off at Jiang Ren's house, he continued to show off at He Zijin A Nian. Hu Wen said, "I didn't expect it, but I scared me half-death. It's been two months, and your three sisters didn't notice it. Oh, I still think she is a careful person. In August of the New Year, I don't think about it this time. I just hope to have a little daughter for me, and my life will be perfect."
When A Nian saw Brother Awen's joyful look, he wanted to laugh, so he smiled and said, "Don't say these things too much. Sometimes I hope my daughter will come if I have a son."
"Don't say this!" Hu Wen quickly stopped A Nian and said, "You have all your children, so how can you know what this girl has to do without a daughter?"
A Nian smiled and said, "Brother Awen, you are really a full man and don't know that the hungry man is hungry. How many people look forward to their son's eyes are green."
Hu Wen smiled and said, "Don't I have two sons?"
A Nian smiled and said, "Then I wish you all your wishes come true, Brother Awen."
"I have to take out the name of Chongyang and Erlang." Hu Wen said, "I have to take out the name of Chongyang and Erlang."
"But it should have been taken."
Hu Wen also knew it was time to choose. This was not because he didn't have a good grade when he was studying. He had a idea today to name his son. Tomorrow, he had a idea. The Chongyang period was delayed all of a sudden, and his father had not yet taken out his name.
Hu Wen was so happy that he took out the eldest and second sons' names before the third child was born. A Nian ordered someone to ask Dr. Dou to help the third girl diagnose it. It was safe to see the fetal appearance.
Dr. Dou only said that although he was busy during the year, he should not be too tired. He also said some doctor's advice during pregnancy, which shows that the fetus looks good.
Hu Wen thanked A Nian again and said to the third girl, "I am so happy that I am busy naming Erlang Chongyang recently. It's still meticulous that A Nian and Zijin are meticulous."
The third girl smiled and said, "You can take out the name of Erlang, our Chongyang before the New Year, even if you haven't been in vain."
As the main family, Hu Wen had a lot of business affairs before the New Year. Although he wanted to give his two sons a good reputation, he didn't have time to think about it after the New Year and decided to give his two sons a superb reputation!
When A Nian and Zi Jin talked about this, they laughed at Brother Awen. A Nian said, "Our second boy, name Yao, and second daughter, can be named Xiao."
Sister Zijin said, "I haven't seen yet, you are active."
"I'm going to calculate it soon. After the New Year, Aye and Axi will be five years old. When the sister was five years old, her mother-in-law gave birth to A Lie. If she counted like this, it would be next year." A Nian said, "Don't look at the time we gave birth to each other every five years, we are both more efficient than them."
A Nian said that his second pair of twins in his family, and then his twins were still alive. Just after the fifth day of the Chinese New Year, He Qi followed up with a pregnancy. This made the Jiang family, the parents of the Jiang family, who had always been envious of the third girl, and the Jiang family's grandparents and parents were very happy. During the New Year, they went to put in a refill incense on the ancestral tablets and said, "This Beichang Mansion is really our blessing." The hometown gave birth to a big treasure, the imperial capital gave birth to a second treasure, and the Beichang Mansion had three treasures again. For the old Jiang family, which had a single lineage, it was really a sign of prosperity! Especially with two children and grandchildren, the Jiang family was not very eager for grandchildren this time. Mrs. Jiang said, "The grandchildren are all good, and they are grandchildren, so there are not many. Our family is rare, and there are many brothers in Dabao and two treasures. You can help and support each other in the future. If it is a granddaughter, you are just making a good word."
The third girl made fun of Mrs. Jiang, "This is because she has two grandchildren, and my aunt has calmed down."
Mrs. Jiang didn't bother to laugh at her at all, and said with a smile, "No way? The third girl doesn't know, my family is a man, counting your uncle's generation, and your uncle and your sister. When I came to Aren, I was injured when I gave birth to him, but I didn't have it anymore. Isn't it just a hurry to be a man? Sister Aqi, the most prosperous husband. Since marrying Aren, there has been no trouble in our family. I originally gave birth to Dabao, I
I was content, and I didn't want to have a second treasure again. Now I have three treasures in my stomach, how can I not be happy?" Mrs. Jiang had already forgotten to leave the marriage that she was not happy about before. Her daughter-in-law gave birth to two big fat boys for the old He family, especially the big treasure, who is good at studying like this, and Mrs. Jiang wished she could offer her daughter-in-law. Now she has a third treasure again, and Mrs. Jiang said to her mother-in-law in private, "It can be seen that our family is really going to prosper."
Old Mrs. Jiang also agreed deeply and took her daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law to Chenghuang Temple to burn incense. The incense and oil cost was enough to add five taels of silver. I begged Mr. Chenghuang to bless the family with a smooth and smooth life. Nowadays, whether the family is prosperous or not depends on whether the family is living well, or the other is on the number of children. For example, those families with only one only daughter, even if the family is rich, are not considered prosperous in the eyes of people at that time. Only if there are many sons and the family business is prosperous, can they be considered truly prosperous.
Just like He Gong Shen, He Gong counted several generations of children and was born in a single family. When it came to He Gong, He Gong had three sons in his family, and He Gong also became an official, which was prosperous. For example, Jiang Ren was a good person who made money. The family had no worries about food and drink. He called slaves and maids. Now the one who lacked them was a child. Therefore, the Jiang family was very happy about the fact that their daughter-in-law was pregnant. Even if they had a few more, the family could afford it.
Brother Aren's family is about to give birth to a third brother. A Nian calculated that his family would give birth to a third brother this year. As a result, Sister Zijin didn't move. You said that A Nian was anxious and wanted to secretly worship the Bodhisattva. However, he was the head of a county. As soon as he went out, he held on to others. Therefore, A Nian still insisted on not going to worship the Bodhisattva. So, it was easy to pay attention to Sister Zijin's menstrual period in his heart. In the evening, A Nian suspected that if Sister Zijin had a sister. The trouble made Zijin's sister speechless. A Nian calculated this way and calculated until the beginning of the spring, Mr. He brought his eldest grandson and third grandson and his eldest grandson wife to Shahe County. Ji Zhen came to reunite with Sister Xi. After Zijin's birthday, on the Shangsi Festival, the whole family went out for a walk. Sister Zijin finally lived up to what A Nian expected and reacted a little.
Below the green mountains and by the Apricot Flower Stream, some children are rushing to butterflies, some are fishing small fish, and some are flying kites. Adults also take advantage of the good weather to enjoy the spring scenery in the suburbs and bask in the spring sun. A family will set up tents by the stream to have lunch outside. Shahe County is close to the river, and spring is the time for fish and shrimps to be the most tender. The third girl He Qi has passed the morning sickness period. In addition, He Zijin's theory, children are smart after eating more fish, and it is not easy to gain weight when eating fish and shrimps. The third girl is fine. She is the boss herself and eats whatever she wants. He Qi is not good, Mrs. Jiang, Mrs. Jiang
I was afraid that she would be wronged by the child in her belly. Moreover, now the family life is quite good. The two old men were idle, so they focused on He Qi's stomach. They wished they could eat chicken, fish, elbow meat every day. Fortunately, He Qi was an idea. She only wanted to eat enough food and never had enough food. Moreover, she paid great attention to her figure. He Zijin said that eating fish and shrimps is not easy to gain weight. He Qi was still very convinced by He Xiaoxian'er. Moreover, she recalled the food she had when she was pregnant with her eldest son and said to her mother-in-law, "I remember when I was pregnant with my eldest son, my mother-in-law often asked the little maid to buy fish steamed outside to eat. Now the big baby is really enlightened to study."
Mrs. Jiang recalled that, too, when his wife had a body, she was her first child, and Mrs. Jiang attached great importance to it, but at that time, the family didn't have much money, and her son just opened a small book shop with He Zijin in the academy. At that time, she wanted to supplement her daughter-in-law, and Mrs. Jiang felt sorry for the money. There was a lake and water on the edge of Bishui County. Fish and shrimp were much cheaper than meat. In order to save money, she often bought fish for her daughter-in-law to eat. Later, her family was in a good time.
After that, when he arrived in the imperial capital, his wife was pregnant with Erbao. At that time, Mrs. Jiang thought that life was better at home and there was no need to ask her wife to eat fish, so it was mostly beef and mutton. As a result, Erbao is studying now. Well, Erbao just went to the academy seriously this year, but he was so excited that he didn't look like a big treasure. Now with He Zijin's theory of eating fish, Mrs. Jiang wondered if his wife ate less fish when she was pregnant with Erbao, so Erbao was not as good as Dabao.
So, this time my wife had a good health. Although her family could afford chicken, fish and elbow meat, she still had to give her more fish and shrimp for her grandson in the future.
So, He Qi finally got rid of the life of filling chicken, fish and elbow meat for her mother-in-law and grandma.
Now the whole family is here for a walk. One is the season for eating fish and shrimps, and the other is that pregnant women also like to eat it. So everyone cooked a lot of fish and shrimps. Before they could eat it, they felt uncomfortable when they smelled it. They felt fishy. A Nian immediately pulled up Zijin's wrist and touched it. He was immediately happy and said happily, "It looks like a slippery pulse!"
I was lucky enough to hand me a cup of warm water to my elder sister-in-law and said, "I will press my elder sister."
A Lie went around Brother A Nian and asked, "Brother A Nian, are you really good at taking your pulse?"
A Nian's fingertips were still placed on Sister Zijin's wrist and said to her brother-in-law, "I learned it specifically from Dr. Dou."
A Lie thought about when he would learn from A Nian. Old Madam He was watching the children play. Wen Xiner hurried over and asked if his maid had happened. In front of so many people, Sister Zijin couldn't say anything. However, A Nian said, "I've been busy for the first time, but I forgot for a while. Yes, it didn't last month."
Mrs. He slapped her thigh, "This must be!"
Everyone congratulated A Nian and He Zijin. Old Madam He smiled and said to Mrs. Jiang, "This is strange, and everyone is full of bodies."
Old Mrs. Jiang laughed, "That's not the case. I want me to say that the county government is good in feng shui, so I have to come to see the child hard.
"It's reasonable." Old lady He and Yu Xing said, "Have you a little hurry, I think you're the same year." Yu Xing blushed, feeling that the grandmother-in-law's words were really not about the occasion. She also had her cheeky husband constantly echoed, "Don't worry, grandma, it's all right."
Seeing that the couple knew how to work hard, Old Madam He nodded very well.
When Zijin's sister was pregnant, A Nian wanted to ask Dr. Dou to come and help me with the pulse. As a result, before he could come over to invite him, Dr. Dou came over. Dr. Dou laughed, "Sir, I heard that the girl is pregnant, so I sent me to ask the girl for her Pleasure pulse."
The third girl He Qi was pregnant and asked Dr. Dou to come and take her pulse.
A Nian smiled and said, "I was about to come over and invite you, but I won't go yet. You will be aware of it."
Doctor Dou smiled and said, "Where is the predecessor? A Xi and A Ye have already announced the good news to the teacher first."
He Zijin didn't realize anything when she was pregnant. She originally guarded Master Chaoyun, but because He was here, her family did not pay attention to the safety pulse every three days. Basically, she asked Dr. Dou to come and take the pulse for Old Man He. Of course, Zijin, A Nian, would also benefit from it.
Dr. Dou came with Master Chaoyun. In fact, he really had nothing to do in Shahe County. Seeing that he was idle, A Nian often organized some free medical consultations in the county and asked Dr. Dou to sit in the hall. Doctors are very kind and Dr. Dou is also happy.
Doctor Dou took He Zijin's pulse and didn't have to take any medicine for the fetus. He Zijin was young and had always been in good health. Doctor Dou talked about some precautions during pregnancy and some things that were taboo. He Zijin had long had experience in these things. However, after all, Doctor Dou came from a family of imperial doctors, and it was true that he was more meticulous than ordinary doctors. He Zijin kept it silently in his heart, and later copied it into a notebook to wait for it to be passed on to future generations.
Well, our sister Zijin is so visionary.
A Nian also asked in particular, "Uncle Dou, do you think they are twins?"
Doctor Dou laughed, "The month is now shallow, so it's hard to say. After three months, you will be able to get a diagnosis."
There were three more pregnant women all at once, and life became more enjoyable. Even Mrs. Zhuang, who often came to chat, was with Mrs. He and Mrs. Jiang, "Your families are really prosperous."
Mrs. He smiled, "If you want to say that people are strong, they are not as good as Mrs. Zhuang's family. Who can compare to your six boys?"
Mrs. Zhuang said, "Old lady, what's the point of our family? It's so poor that it's so good. If you're born poor, you're all kids. What's the way? Half-year-old boy, I'm poor, and these three meals a day can be exhausted. Since the county master Zun came to the county, my old and Zhuang were lucky enough to be reused by the adults. My family's life was much better than before. He felt sorry for me, so he bought a slutty woman at home, and helped to clean up the housework, cook and so on. Otherwise, I was in the fifth day of the day before.
I have to get up and cook. I have to steam buns for six baskets a day, otherwise it will not be enough to eat. After a long time, I just got full, and I reached the age of getting married. I am really worried about my own betrothal gifts. My family was originally a second-entre yard, which was enough to live. The boss was once married and squeezed, and it was still open. But there were still five in the future. I was so cruel that I bought a third-entre yard near my house. In the future, Erlang and Sanlang got married. I don’t know if Silang and Goro Roulang were enough to live when they got married.”
Mrs. He said to her, "Your family has many sons, not to mention anything else, houses, shops, and farms are all permanent foundations. You can live a life now, so why bother so hard? Ask me, your sons will always separate from each other in the future, and it is definitely not enough for you to buy a house. No matter the big house or a small courtyard, you must prepare a next place for one son. Even if you don't buy a house now, you should buy a few more acres of land. This is the foundation for all generations. As long as you have land, you will have a bite of food."
"What the old lady said," Mrs. Zhuang put the soles of her younger son in her hand and said, "Then I will quietly buy a few acres of land."
"Why is it still quiet?" Old Mrs. Jiang didn't understand.
Mrs. Zhuang sighed, "The old lady doesn't know that our family has always been the head of the old lady. I'm in charge of my work and don't care about anything at home. Anyway, there's nothing at home. Now it's a little better. I want to buy some land. Our old lady always says that the family is difficult and even scolds me for causing trouble. Even the third-entry courtyard was also the money that I had with my old village. The old lady took our family to live in a new house. She was going to sell the old courtyard again. What do you think is this? My six sons in my family are afraid that the house will not be enough in the future, so why do you have to sell the house? I have another fight with Laozhuang, so I didn't sell the old courtyard. I asked Dalang and her wife to live there. The couple, I told Dalang, too.
When I make money, I will make money and save it myself. The family doesn’t want theirs. I will live my life first and don’t care about me. The old lady complains that I’m too busy and says that the family is tight. Dalang doesn’t hand over the moon silver, and the family doesn’t have money to buy vegetables. Where have we bought vegetables at home? It’s his own way to eat whatever we grow in the yard, and there’s no need to buy rice. The ancestors passed down fifty acres of land, and they eat it in that field every year. Just like that, I haven’t seen any meat at the table for three months, and I just say I don’t have money. What’s the point of whether I eat meat or not, but from our Laozhuang to Liulang, we either serve as a servant to support the family, or the big guys who are growing up, one by one, so hungry that we went to the river to catch fish when we have time. After we get two, we have to give our old lady one to our brother-in-law.”
After taking the soles of the shoes for a while, the needle became dull. Mrs. Zhuang rubbed her hair and continued to sigh, "Our old lady often called me a petty family, but was unaware of it, and I was a pet. My little boys in my family couldn't eat any fishy food for months. With good things, of course I had to ask my children to eat first. I was so angry that I had never seen such a perverse person. Our family bought this three-enterprise house, and the family said there was no money. Our brother-in-law's family bought fifty acres of land last year, but I don't know where the money came from."
"The old saying goes, the royal family values the eldest son, and the people love the youngest son. Generally, parents are the youngest ones." Mrs. He has never encountered this situation. The main reason is that she married a single family. When she comes to her children, she has a son and a daughter. Her daughter is far away and she can't even see her. Her son is a brother, and Mrs. He wants to be biased, but no one else has ever turned. Mrs. He advised Mrs. Zhuang, "I'm so angry with this. I think Zhuang Dianshi is a real person."
"It's just too real." Mrs. Zhuang sighed, "I paid my salary every month and went to the old lady's house to collect the salary to the old lady. Our brother-in-law never came to my house in the past. On the second day after our Laozhuang paid his salary, he bought snacks to see our old lady."
After hearing about Mrs. Zhuang’s family, Yu Xing said to his elder sister-in-law, “This old lady in the village is also quite partial.”
He Zijin laughed, "Why did you hear Mrs. Zhuang complain? Isn't it time to get paid in the yamen? Every few days she will come to our house to talk about. How could Zhuang Dianshi be as good as she said? In the past, her family was not well-off. Since she became Dianshi, she has become the third master in the county. What is the salary? It's only thirty taels a year, and it's not much more than the eldest maid around her sister." After hearing what her elder sister-in-law said, Yu Xing was happy and laughed, "How can I compare this? Dianshi is also an eighth rank."
"Which of the second, third and fourth masters, is the one who lives with his salary. Zhuang Dianshi gave all his private houses to Mrs. Zhuang. Last year, she secretly bought 100 acres of land, just to hide it from her old lady." He Zijin said with a smile.
Yu Xing couldn't help but say, "The little dictionary history in such a county is so rich."
"Our Shahe County is considered a big county, close to the quid site, so you can see how many shops and shops in the county are very rich. The county doesn't have to be fishing and the people, but they also have their own benefits. This is also an old example of foreign officials." He Zijin said, "Being an official in the imperial capital is another example. My sister knows this better than me."
Yu Xing nodded, "Being an official in the imperial capital is nothing more than three years and two years of life. Bing Jing Tan Jing, these are the big ones."
"Yes, everyone has their own way."
When the sister-in-law and sister-in-law were talking about some common things, Yu Xing quietly asked He Zijin a very difficult question. Yu Xing asked, what are the tricks to have a twin? Sister Zijin, who is known as Xiaoxianer, also asked her brother-in-law. Yu Xing was a little embarrassed and said, "I'm not hiding it from my sister-in-law. I'm also a little anxious. I've been married to my husband for more than a year and haven't moved yet. I think, the old lady is quite anxious."
He Zijin said, "This is really not a trick. Even if I have been married for three years, I didn't make any noise. At that time, my mother, grandmother and the others were anxious. I was not very anxious. Suddenly, I had it. I realized it was a twin when I was born." He Zijin comforted me, "Don't be anxious, you have it for only one year, and I didn't have it for those three years. Don't take any messy medicine. The children are destined by God, so they should be there sometimes."
He Zijin said again, "You are still young, you are only seventeen this year. I want me to say that it is better for you to have a 18th or nineteenth."
"Why is this?"
"Women are too young and their bodies have not yet developed well, including the pelvic bones and bone cavity. It is best to develop well, grow the body and re-production." He Zijin said with a very scientific concept.
Because there was an example of my elder sister-in-law not pregnant for three years and then having twins, and my elder sister-in-law instilled some scientific knowledge, Yu Xing was not anxious. Yu Xing also told her husband about the scientific concept, A Lie said, "I think it's developing very well." After thinking about it, he said, "But that's the case, when you first got married last year, your breasts were not that big. It seems that you have to be longer."
I was so embarrassed that I was so angry that I could give my husband this shameless thing. Well, she also felt that her breasts were bigger after marriage.
He Zijin, the third girl, and He Qi have reduced some of their affairs because of pregnancy, just the business in the shop. He Zijin is mostly a commissioner and Mrs. Duan, and the third girl He Qi also has trusted officials in charge of the embroidery workshop.
The three of them often sit together to make some needlework for the children who are about to get into trouble. The third girl said, "When I went to the imperial capital, the Chongyang period was older. I didn't take his clothes when I was a child, so I didn't take them. Fortunately, Erlang brought his clothes when he was a child, and it just happened to be a change to make the third brother wear them, which can save a lot of money."
He Qi also said this. When Yu Xing went back to the house and talked about this, he said to Madam Tian, "The third sister and A Qi are not rich, they are really frugal in this."
Madam Tian brought the tea and smiled, "The girl doesn't understand the eyes anymore, it's not just for frugality."
Yu Xing listened to Madam Tian while having tea, "Children's skin is delicate, and their new clothes are good, but they are not as soft as old clothes. Therefore, no matter whether it is rich or ordinary families, there is a custom of asking children to wear old clothes. Especially those old clothes of strong and smart children, it is very popular. The old clothes of such children are booked by relatives."
Yu Xing said, "Then I will tell my sister first, leave A Ye's clothes for me."
Madam Tian smiled, "When a girl has a young master, why are she afraid she has no clothes to pick up? There are a lot of cousins." She asked her own girl again, "Does the eldest aunt know if she has one or two in her belly?"
"Doctor Dou said it was two, but he couldn't tell whether it was a twin or a twin."
"Oh, my aunt is so lucky."
"Not it. The old lady is so happy to talk to everyone these days." Yu Xing said, "Madam, why do you think my sister is so lucky? If it's a twin in one time, it's still a lucky one. This second child has two more, which is a coincidence."
Madam Tian smiled and said, "Miss, don't worry, girl, I can't say that the girl has to have twins."
Yu Xing smiled, "If that were the case, I would make a golden body for Mr. Chenghuang in Chenghuang Temple."
Even the children were discussing their upcoming younger brothers and sisters. Ji Zhen, who was very experienced, said to Ah Xi, "My brother is so smelly. Once, as soon as I hugged him, he pulled me. It smelled so bad that I didn't have a meal for three days."
Ah Xi said, "Then I want my little sister."
Ji Zhen said, "I also think my little sister is good. How great would it be if she is a smart and beautiful sister like Ah Xi."
Sister Axi expressed her satisfaction with Uncle Ji Zhen's praise. Then, she gave her brother and sister two names, the little brother was called Xiao Zhao, and the little sister wanted Xiao Xiang.
