Bo Rong went out to have a heart-to-heart talk with Bo Ning. No one knew what the two brothers said. Afterwards, Hehua curiously asked Bo Rong, but Bo Rong just smiled and said that the secret must not be leaked.
But since then, Boning has become much more practical. In addition to reading books, he also helps the family with housework within his capacity. He no longer stays up until midnight. Hehua feels relieved and no longer asks Borongdu any more questions. What did you say.
After Qiqi burned down, Mrs. Fang went back to the city to work on the shop. Bo Rong took the opportunity to propose that he take over the shop so that he could do his own business easily. Ms. Fang didn't want to agree at first, but thought of Bo Rong. Now that he is very rich in office, he may not have such a good opportunity when he follows Sun Jianyu in the future. It is better to buy some properties for the brothers at home, so that Chapter 336 Jasmine gives birth to a child, and Lotus prepares The idea of getting married immediately became positive again.
Zhu Yongxin and Borong went to the provincial capital to buy some unprocessed gemstones. After exchanging money, they returned to the shop they purchased. They also bought a relatively compact three-entry courtyard in the alley not far behind, although the courtyard was not big. , but the opening of the three main rooms, with wing rooms on both sides, is very suitable for family members to live together. After looking for the old Yaji, after some bargaining, the deal was successfully concluded.
In August, Jasmine was about to give birth. On the first day of the lunar month, Fang went to Jiang's house to deliver birth control gifts. She saw that Jasmine's mother-in-law had rushed back from other places to take care of her. Jiang Shiyan and Jasmine's house was no longer filled with those charming-looking girls. Very satisfied, I went home and waited for news about Jasmine.
Jasmine was lucky this time. She had good food and slept well for more than nine months. She never had any uncomfortable symptoms, and even morning sickness was rare until she was about to give birth. I had only been irritated for a while because of the hot weather. On August 15th, the house was busy preparing for the festival. Jasmine was leaning on the kang, fanning herself and playing with dates, when she suddenly felt a stomachache. She had a throbbing pain. She had already given birth once and naturally understood what was going on. She quickly called someone in and saw that Jasmine had already had a seizure. The family did not care about any festivals. Chapter 336: Jasmine gave birth to a child and Hehua prepared to get married. , hurriedly go and invite Po Wen as promised. Everything has been prepared, and everyone is busy making water and making the bed in an orderly manner.
As soon as Wen Po entered the house with her little feet, she heard Jasmine screaming inside. She quickly wrapped her head and washed her hands and went in. She stretched out her hand and said, "Hey. Grandma is doing well this time. Her head has already been exposed. Follow the old woman's words and use your strength." .”
From the time of onset to the birth of the child. It didn't even take two hours. Jiang Shiyan had just been grinding around outside for a few times when the sound of a child crying could be heard from inside.
Po Wen came out with a smile on her face and hugged a red and wrinkled child: "Congratulations to the old man, congratulations to the old lady, congratulations to the madam, congratulations to the master. Happy birth, mother and child are safe!"
Jiang Shiyan was very happy. She kept shouting: "Reward, reward money!" Then while everyone at home was watching the baby, she went straight into the delivery room.
The doors and windows of the delivery room were tightly closed, and the room was filled with the smell of blood and an indescribable smell. Jiang Shiyan didn't care that the kang had not been cleaned yet, so he lifted up his robe and sat on the edge of the kang, stretched out his hand to touch Jasmine's forehead and said : "Are you tired?"
"Finally, I gave birth to a son." Jasmine looked at Jiang Shiyan with tears in her eyes. Although she had said generously before that if she couldn't give birth to a son, she would let Jiang Shiyan take a concubine, but how could she really be willing to do so? This time she really gave birth to a son A son. The stone in my heart finally fell to the ground.
He raised his hand and touched Jiang Shiyan's cheek, and said feebly: "Now that I have given you a son, if you ever think of taking a concubine or taking over a house, I shouldn't do it!"
"My sister-in-law, I still think of this at this time. I have never had such an idea. I have sworn to you a long time ago. You don't believe it, but you are here to mention it now..." Jiang Shiyan stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears on Jasmine's cheeks. He said, "My mother-in-law has specifically told me that this time of confinement, I will make sure you have a good life and make up for the losses you suffered last time."
The two of them were talking intimately in the room. The old lady outside was so fond of holding her grandson in her arms that she refused to let go. Mrs. Jiang had no choice but to let the girls watch. Don't tire the old lady and go instruct the cook to cook. Millet porridge, boiled eggs, and chicken soup were prepared to replenish Jasmine's health. Then I was thinking about what to bring when announcing the good news, and I came up with some ideas before asking the old lady for instructions.
Seeing that the child had already put on a small red coat with flowers and a quilt wrapped around his lower body, he was sleeping on the straw bag that had been prepared long ago, with a small tiger pillow made of sorghum rice pillow under his head. The old lady was getting ready. He patted the child nonchalantly and listened to her talk about the good news. He thought for a moment and said, "His family is still in Xiaoli now. It's not good to make too much of a fuss. But Jasmine's eldest brother is at home now. After all, there is someone there." A man of great fame has asked Jasmine to bring us a gift. We must repay the favor, and it is best to give it in a dignified manner without being ostentatious."
After understanding the old lady's intention, Mrs. Jiang knew quite well. Apart from anything else, the Jiang family's business outside the country has been doing well in recent years. They have seen a lot of all kinds of things, and they also have some at home. This time they turned over I found some, plus wedding eggs and cakes and other items. Since the Zhu family was still in Xiaoli, the eggs and cakes sent were only decorated with red dots. I carried two loads of things, and the leading servant held a rooster. Together they were carried to Qijia Village to announce the good news.
Mrs. Fang has been in the shop these days, also guessing that Jasmine is about to die, and she is worried and worried, but it is not easy to go and see or ask about it, so she can only worry about it, because it is August 15th. Lotus led the bolt and asked for delicious food, and then she put aside her worries and went to celebrate the festival. There were also a lot of people ordering medicinal food that day. The busy people were milling about, and the shop door was finally closed. The whole family We sat down to eat the reunion dinner and moon cakes together, and heard someone knocking on the door outside.
Bo Rong went out to answer the door, and then shouted into the back room: "Mom, Jasmine has given birth, and the Jiang family has come to announce the good news!"
When Mrs. Fang heard this, the chopsticks she had just picked up fell into the soup in front of her as soon as her hands went soft, splashing soup oil all over her body. As a result, she couldn't go out to meet people with her clothes, so she had to run back and change.
Hehua knew that she was thinking about her, so she slipped out and saw a big rooster in her arms. She felt relieved immediately, ran to the back to look for Fang, and said with a smile: "Mom, it's a son. My eldest sister picked up a son!"
"My God, this Bodhisattva has finally settled my worries." Fang sat down on the edge of the kang and let out a sigh of relief. After calming down, he stood up and tied up his clothes, "Fortunately, I have prepared the return gifts in advance. I will take a look at his gift list later and add or subtract one or two."
"I saw that his family sent a lot of things. In addition to the wedding eggs and cakes, there were actually two more things in the back. I didn't see the gift list and didn't know what was in it, but they couldn't all be worthless items. Hehua said with some worry, "Is the return gift prepared by my mother enough? We are not at home now, and there is nothing ready-made to add to it."
"Let's go out and see first. It's already so late, so we have to stay one night." Ms. Fang went out to socialize for a while, and then arranged a place to stay. Then she looked at the gift list and thought about what she would get back.
Lotus followed and crowded together to take a look, and saw that most of the things on the list were playthings and some nourishing medicinal materials. Then he smiled and said, "This is a different way of giving a return gift to eldest brother!"
Fang didn't realize it for a while, and looked up at He Hua in confusion: "Why are you returning this gift? Why are you involving your elder brother?"
"The eldest brother came back and prepared a gift for the Jiang family. He asked the eldest sister and the eldest brother-in-law to take it back because of his filial piety. Our family is still in Xiaoli, and it is not easy for others to return the gift in a big way, so they just put it in this good news. Otherwise, How can anyone pick up a child's good news and give these toys and utensils?" Hehua pointed to the items on the list. There are also the Four Treasures of the Study and so on.
"It would be easier to handle it this way. It's true that we have less money to return. But it doesn't look good!" Mrs. Fang lowered his head and thought about it.
"Why don't you put in some of the needlework you make in your daily life, plus the bedding and shoes and socks that mom made for you, as a token of your gratitude. As for the return gift, the collar and gold lock that my eldest brother brought back are valuable enough." Hehua gave her idea. .
"I don't want to give you the gold lock. It's not that I don't want to give it up. It's just that the child's life is short and I'm afraid it will be bad if I use those precious things. I said a few days ago that your eldest brother was here and it was a waste of time to buy those things. Money." Fang shook her head and said.
"Mom. It's better than this. Let's take the gold collar and gold lock to Sanpu Temple tomorrow. Ask a master to bless them, and they will be regarded as things before the Buddha. No matter how high or low they are." Hehua rolled his eyes and took them again. Come up with an idea.
"This is a good idea." Ms. Fang nodded repeatedly after hearing this, "You are so young and your brain works so fast, I still have to worry about it all night."
Sure enough, the next day, he sent the gold collar and gold lock to Sanpu Temple together with five taels of sesame oil money. The master was happy to consecrate and pray for it, and received some incense in front of the Buddha before giving it away. He came out and was given a string of beads and a piece of amulet paper.
Hehua packed the talisman paper in a wallet with a swastika at the end, wrote a gift list, and took a separate piece of paper to write down the origin of the consecrated object and the amulet one by one, along with some food. , it can be regarded as two lifts, and let the Jiang family's servants carry it back.
Because of the filial piety in the family, I couldn't go to watch the ceremony when my third son was being washed, so I put all the items that I had added to the basin that day in the return gift, and asked my in-laws to take care of it.
When the old lady of the Jiang family received the return gift, she was a little unhappy when she saw the gold collar. She felt that such a valuable item should not be given to a child. I also heard Mrs. Jiang reading a letter, saying that the necklaces and gold locks were all consecrated, and there were also beads and amulets given by the master. I also saw that the clothes were all made with fine stitches, and there was also a piece of clothing from hundreds of families and a bed with pictures of hundreds of children. After being wrapped in quilt, he repeatedly praised Fang for being polite and proper, and the valuable things he gave were more decent.
The Jiang family was busy washing their third son, not to mention that Mrs. Fang was also thinking about seeing her grandson at home. However, she had family filial piety and could only wait for the full moon over there to send her mother and daughter over.
After having a full moon drink at Jiang's house, Mrs. Fang asked Qiaoran's mother to pick her up for her, but Jiang Shiyan insisted on joining her. Jasmine couldn't save her face in front of outsiders, so she just spat at him: "We girls are going back to our parents' home after the confinement period." , what did you do with me?"
"I'm going to go see my father-in-law and my mother-in-law, and also talk to my eldest brother, okay?"
Jiang Shiyan had to follow, and in the end the old lady of the Jiang family had no choice but to say: "That's it, Jasmine, just let this bastard follow you. He will take care of you on the way, and it just so happens that your eldest brother is observing filial piety at home now, giving him advice on his homework. This If Hui Enke can win a prize, it will be like smoke rising from the graves of our ancestors."
Hearing what Old Mrs. Jiang said, Jasmine finally gave in and sent her servants to set up a car and go to the city.
When Mrs. Fang saw her grandson, she couldn't let go. This made Li Zi, who had always been favored at home, very fond of him. He always nudged around Mr. Fang's eyes intentionally or unintentionally, which made people look funny.
"Did you give him a name?" Fang asked Jasmine while holding the child.
Jasmine leaned comfortably on the kang, holding a bowl and sipping the tonic soup specially stewed for her by Fang. After hearing the question, she said lazily: "Stop mentioning the name. What is this called? Grandparents and grandson were all blushing, and I thought it was good when all the names were put out, but the old man said Shi Yan refused, and Shi Yan said the old man had to deny it. In the end, it was the old lady who saw that The purse that held the amulet was embroidered with a swastika that didn't end, so I called the boss a swastika, saying it was a good sign."
"It's a good name for me. It won't sound bad when I grow up." Fang teased the child with a smile, "This swastika is really well-behaved and doesn't cry like other children at this time. "
"This is indeed his benefit. He only goes to bed after eating every day and never makes trouble. So I had a good rest during this confinement period." Jasmine put down the bowl in her hand, raised her hand to wipe the corners of her mouth, and praised road. "My mother's food is becoming more and more delicious."
"Sister, please use less. You have already finished your period and are still mending. Be careful that you won't be able to wear your old clothes. You will have to make them all over again!" Hehua carried the fruit into the house. Seeing that Jasmine drank all the soup, she couldn't help but tease her.
"Go ahead. What do you kid know? Your eldest sister lost so much during her last confinement. She must make up for it this time." Ms. Fang advised, "If you make new clothes when your clothes are too small, your body will not be healthy." You won’t be able to get it back later, our family is not short of these things now, if you still want to eat, I’ll serve them to you.”
Jasmine glared at He Hua and said angrily: "You will vomit me as soon as I return to my parents' home. Are you reluctant to let me eat? I don't think that we sisters will still be so close to each other today. I may follow your son-in-law in the future." No matter where you take office, it will be difficult to see him again." Having said that. But she secretly pinched her waist and abdomen. Sure enough, she felt that it was all fat and she dared not eat it again.
"You also said that I disgusted you. Listening to what you said, you sounded like a sister. You are not ashamed in front of your son." Hehua went to tease Xie'er. Seeing his little chubby hand grabbing my fingers and playing happily, I liked it very much and refused to go away.
But Jasmine remembered asking Fang: "Last time I came back, I heard from my sister-in-law that the Qi family brother is going to attend the Enke Spring Festival next year, but he wants to become an official?"
"It's not easy for us to ask this question, but he is young and knows that it is always a good thing to make progress. As long as he doesn't get too lazy to read, there is nothing wrong with it." Fang coaxed Shi'er to sleep and placed the small child next to her. A thin quilt was placed on the mattress, and he continued, "I would rather he pass the exam and go far away. Although he is far away from us, it also saves Lotus from setting rules in front of my parents-in-law."
"That's true, her mother-in-law is quite difficult to deal with." Jasmine nodded and glanced at Hehua, seeing her holding up the book and looking at it intently, as if what was being said here had nothing to do with her.
"You usually talk the most, but why are you mute today?" Moli Fei asked her teasingly.
"What's there to say? It's not the first day I've known that his mother is difficult to deal with. Besides, we've already been engaged. How can I break off the engagement if I become his mother?" He Hua then raised her eyes from the book, "I He is the one I want to marry, and I only care about being filial to his family. Why should I take it personally if the other things have nothing to do with me."
After hearing this, Jasmine reached out and snatched the book from Hehua's hand. She brought it close to her eyes and took a closer look. When she saw that it was a book of Buddhist scriptures and stories, she raised her hand and threw it into the kang and said, "You can't read anything all day long. , Now even her speech is erratic, so she just needs to shave her head and become a sister-in-law."
Hehua just pursed her lips and smiled without arguing with Jasmine. She looked at the sky, took out her watch and checked the time. She stood up and said, "You guys sit down and talk. I have to go shopping."
"What are you buying? Let your father set up a car and take you there!" Fang asked worriedly.
Jasmine burst out laughing, pulled Fang and pointed at the lotus and said, "Mom, look at how she looks today. She is so neatly packed and not wearing ordinary clothes. She must have something to do when she goes out. Why bother? ask her."
"Brother Jintang will pack up and go to Beijing in a few days to prepare for next year's Spring Festival. I just want to say a few words and my eldest brother will go with him!" Hehua pouted and glared at Jasmine.
Fang said helplessly: "You two, you don't look like a girl's family."
"It's just a quarrel with her at home. Let's just laugh it off. How can this happen outside." Jasmine saw that He Hua was a little annoyed, so she helped her and said, "They grew up in the same place. And since my eldest brother is following me, my mother just pretends that she doesn’t know what to do, so why bother restraining her, wouldn’t it be even worse if she sneaks out.”
"You just ran out!" Hehua was embarrassed by Jasmine's words. Instead, she sat down on the chair and said, "I won't go out today. I will drag you with me when I go to the toilet and let you stare. Can I sneak away?"
Jasmine laughed so much that she leaned on the quilt and said, "Look at your face getting smaller and smaller. You can't even say a few words."
Just as he was talking, Bo Rong came in to look for Lotus and said, "I was asked to wait for you outside. I also said that you had a watch and remembered the time accurately. I waited for a long time but didn't see you go out. But the three hundred taels of silver are useless? What if? It’s really useless, so quickly ask Jintang to take it to the capital to repair it for you.”
He Hua was thinking about Qi Jintang. He only had time to see him once before going to Beijing, so he didn't care about Jasmine's teasing. He jumped up and said, "It's not bad. It's because the eldest sister insisted on talking to me that I stumbled. Let’s go now.”
After leaving the house, I heard Jasmine say from behind: "...this girl is getting more and more sharp-tongued..."
Today, the three of them made an appointment at the back gate of Sanpu Temple. When the brother and sister arrived, Qi Jintang was standing under the tree in a brocade robe, looking at the green pines beside the back gate with an unhurried expression.
The three of them visited most of the temple. Borong excused himself to ask for an amulet for his son, leaving the two of them talking in the courtyard.
Now that he is older, especially since he is engaged, the relationship between childhood sweethearts and childhood friends is very different from the past. Hehua always feels that he can't get rid of it, and he rarely shows a shy look. It is rare for Qi Jintang to see Hehua look like this, so he can't help but find it funny and flirtatious. He took off his robe and sat on a stone bench nearby and said: "How come the person who is usually the best at giving orders has turned into a sawed gourd today?"
"What do you mean by giving orders to nagging..." Hehua's shy thoughts were immediately put aside, "It's for your own good that I should complain."
"I took two boys with me, and an old man from home drove with me. Usually there are people taking care of the hotel. I just drive and read, and don't care about anything else." Qi Jintang said with a smile.
"Who asked you..." Hehua muttered, but the corners of her lips could not help but bend upwards, and the small pear dimples loomed on her lips. She must be very fond of him for telling her itinerary. But then I asked again, "You couldn't get enough of it last time when you went to Beijing to participate in the Spring Festival. How come you came back this time with great ambitions to study again and take the imperial examination?"
Qi Jintang looked confused when he heard this. How could he tell He Hua? He was afraid that his mother would have frequent conflicts with her in the future. He wanted to choose an errand to avoid it, so he just said a few random words and hesitated.
He Hua thought that he was envious of Sun Jianyu's future and became competitive, so he didn't ask any more questions. He just said: "Famous names are not that important. Many people are only selected to be elected officials. If you start from the bottom and work little by little, there will be many promising people, and you don’t have to focus solely on whether your background is a Juren or a Jinshi."
The two of them only sat for a while, waiting for Bo Rong to come back before saying goodbye twice. However, He Hua did not expect that the master of the Qi family was a very polite person. Before Qi Jintang left, he specially received him and brought gifts to the door, along with Zhu Yongxin. The wedding date was discussed, and they said that firstly they would have to wait for Lotus to be happy, and secondly, they would have to wait for Qi Jintang to come back from taking the exam in Beijing, so it was tentatively decided to be in June or August of next year. Regardless of whether he passed the exam or not, he would come back first to get married and start a family.
Bo Rong was very satisfied with Mr. Qi's behavior. After having a drink with him at noon and seeing him off, he said: "This is what scholars do. I was originally worried that it would be difficult for He Hua to get along with his parents-in-law when he married her. Now that I meet Mr. Qi, he is not just an expert in articles." , Huan Xiaoshili, which makes me feel relieved a lot."
But Mrs. Fang only nagged: "Even if we get married next year, Hehua is only fourteen years old, and the little brother of the Qi family is not very old. I want to keep her for two more years, so why bother in such a hurry."
"Mom, I don't know. Jintang mentioned to me that no matter whether I pass the exam this time, I will go out to elect officials, so I want to get married next year."
"It's good to say it this way. If He Hua goes outside with you, it will save you any trouble with your mother-in-law at home." Mrs. Fang could only think of the good things.
He Hua was a little surprised after hearing this. Could it be that Qi Jintang was so motivated suddenly, but it was also to avoid being wronged, and she felt very relieved. To be continued! ! !
