Two days later, Mingyue Temple was demolished. Yuan Qingling sent people to help, and she herself went to Jinghe's mansion to wait for the arrival of the children.
There were thirteen babies in total, three boys and ten girls. The oldest was one and a half years old and the youngest was only two months old.
The three boys all have some flaws, a hare lip, and a large mole on one face, which almost covers half of the face, but the other side of the face is particularly good-looking. The third boy is blind.
The child is one and a half years old and the oldest among them.
The sister-in-law who followed the delivery told everyone, "These girls were all thrown out. Poor families gave birth to many girls who could not afford to raise them, so they secretly placed them at the door of the nunnery. Boys were generally reluctant to throw them away, and they kept them no matter how hard it was.
But these three were defective, and they were reluctant to kill them, so they threw them at the door of the nunnery. What a crime. Fortunately, the princess took them in, otherwise, the poor nun wouldn't know where to put them!"
As she spoke, she bowed and thanked Princess Jinghe again.
Jinghe hugged the child with cleft lips and hurriedly returned the favor, "No need to say thank you, I like them!"
The sister-in-law said: "The poor nun knows that the princess will treat them well, but I have to say one more thing. Now that this good relationship has been forged, I also ask the princess not to leave them alone no matter what."
"I will not abandon them!" Jinghe gently patted the child with harelips on the back and whispered.
My sister-in-law clasped her hands together and thanked her again.
Everyone got busy together. Yuan Qingling checked the children one by one to see if they had any diseases. The girls were fine, but they were a little thin. After all, they were in the nunnery, and there was nothing delicious. The babies were also small and couldn't eat.
Others were fed some porridge, and since the sisters-in-law were vegetarians, the children naturally couldn't even eat meat porridge.
Yuan Qingling could not find out the cause of the blindness for a while, but from observation, there was no sign of disease in the eyes. She asked her sister-in-law, "How old was this child when he came to the nunnery? When did he lose his sight?"
The sister-in-law said: "Returning to the princess, he was only nine months old when he came to the nunnery. At that time, there was a letter attached, saying that he could see at first, but he fell ill and could no longer see. This
When the child came, he was well-dressed and wrapped in silk, so he looked like he was a child from a wealthy family."
"A child from a rich family? It's not like you can't afford to raise it, so why throw it away?" Rong Yue said angrily.
The sister-in-law sighed, "What you don't know is that this rich family is the most taboo about physical defects. They are afraid of being laughed at or accused of being unkind for giving birth to a child with a disability. They can't bear to kill it, so they throw it away."
Rong Yue said angrily: "If I know who his parents are, I will definitely not let them go."
Yuan Qing Ling waved to Rong Yue. The child is now one and a half years old and can understand what adults say, so it is not convenient to speak too much in front of him.
She checked the child again and found that he had no other diseases except blindness. It was most likely that the blindness was caused by neuritis. This is actually treatable. Of course, the best time for treatment has been missed. First, the best time for treatment has been missed.
Take medicine and ask grandma to do acupuncture when the time comes to see if there is any possibility of regaining sight.
After working for most of the day, all the children have been settled. Each child has its own wet nurse. The wet nurse is responsible for feeding and taking care of the child. Princess Jinghe made very detailed arrangements.
In this mansion, the wing room was sufficient. After the wet nurse took the child back, the sisters-in-law sat down to discuss the child's name.
The children are given names in Guzi's nunnery, but the names given by monks are all Dharma names. In the future, they will have to have lay names if they want to join the world.
Finally, they agreed on a name. Sui Jing and Cui were named. Yuan Qingling took a line from the Book of Songs to name the child. There are creeping grasses in the wild, and there are no dew. There is a beautiful person, and it is clear and graceful. If you remove the beautiful person, there are two Xi.
, just ten words, from Cui Ye to Cui Wan, there are girls’ names.
