In the blink of an eye, another day flew by, and it was March 22nd, Xiao Ye's three baptisms. The day was chosen well, the sun was shining brightly, and the sky was cloudless.
The three rites of baptism were not arranged in a big way, but some female relatives were simply invited to the house.
Even so, Bixiaotang is still full of guests. Early in the morning, female guests come to the door one after another, whether they have invitations, such as Mrs. Tian, Han Qixia, and Mrs. Yao, or those without invitations, such as Qu Jiayue, Mrs. Zhou and others all came.
Today the mansion was full of joy because of Xiao Xiaoye's three baptisms, and it was said that "the one who comes is a guest", but all the guests who came to the door were allowed to enter the mansion, and the second wife Zhou Roujia and Xiao Fei entertained everyone.
It's just reached the Si time mentioned in the post, and the small flower hall is already full.
Nangong Yue was not yet confinement, so Zhou Roujia and Lin took Mrs. Tian, Yuan Yuyi, Han Qixia and other female relatives to visit Nangong Yue's room. Besides, most of the female guests could only stay in the small flower hall waiting.
In the inner room, Nangong Yue was sitting on the couch leaning on a large rose red pillow. This pregnancy was difficult, and it was much harder than that of Xiao Yu. She has been leaning since she was pregnant. Thin, although I have taken a lot of tonics these days, my complexion seems to have improved a lot, but I am still very thin.
Most of the people present knew this. Seeing that Nangong Yue's complexion had recovered a lot, they didn't ask much about the delivery, and all of them focused their eyes on the little Xiao Ye who was in the swaddling baby.
Only two days later, the newborn baby looked much better. His skin was fair like his parents, his eyes were closed tightly, and he was unconscious. He could vaguely hear him snoring evenly. It looked very similar to Xiao Xiao Yu who was sitting by the bed watching his younger brother.
Others were looking at little Xiao Ye, but Nangong Yue was looking at Zhou Roujia without a trace. In just three days, Zhou Roujia had lost weight and was haggard. Covered up shadows.
Nangong Yue sighed inwardly, planning to find time to talk to Zhou Roujia.
At this time, Mrs. Yao said with a smile: "Concubine Shizi, the second young master was born really well, he looks like he was carved out of the same mold as his grandson!"
"I don't think so." Mrs. Tian joked, "The two young masters are clearly like the sons of the world!"
Saying this, everyone couldn't help laughing, and they all said "sons are like mothers, daughters are like fathers", but the two sons of Shi Ziye are more like Shi Ziye.
"Anyway, you are blessed." Mrs. Tian concluded with a smile, and everyone laughed again, especially Mrs. Lin, who narrowed her eyes.
However, Baihui and Huamei knew that although the two young masters looked alike, they had different temperaments. Although the second young master was still a baby, he was a gentle baby. Howl like thunder.
After everyone sent some small clothes and shoes, it was almost time, the wet nurse picked up little Xiao Ye, and everyone went back to the small flower hall together.
Little Xiao Ye is the well-deserved protagonist today, and those female family members gathered around one after another, you praised each other, so that you are the only one in the world, and the flower hall is so lively.
Xiao Xiaoyu nodded slightly in satisfaction, quite proud: He is such a good brother. Thanks to the good-looking clothes I gave my younger brother, I made my younger brother look better and didn't embarrass the Xiao family.
Looking at the bustling scene in front of her, the crowd surrounded the little baby like stars and the moon, Qu Jiayue's heart felt sour, and her body tensed slightly: How could this Nangong Yue's life be so good? !
In contrast to myself...
Thinking of her lingering existence in Xiye all these years, and thinking of her father's merciless threat still ringing in her ears that day, Qu Jiayue gritted her teeth involuntarily, and the veins in the corners of her eyes twitched.
But the current Qu Jiayue is no longer the young and energetic Princess Mingyue who was in the royal capital after all. She immediately adjusted her mood, and her eyes fell on Zhou Roujia, squinting her eyes triumphantly. She said to herself: It doesn't matter, her plan has already succeeded in the first step, and when she has completely controlled Xiao Luan, she can proceed to the next step... The plan will definitely go smoothly, and she will definitely get what she wants!
Qu Jiayue couldn't help raising her head, and looked towards the direction of the palace through an open window, her eyes were full of ambition.
At noon, the three baptisms began under the reminder of a nurse in charge.
Little Xiao Ye is a well-behaved little baby. The two wet nurses worked together to undress and wash him for three hours, and he slept peacefully with his eyes closed. Throwing pieces of gold wives, the wet nurses spoke pleasant and auspicious words from time to time.
Xiao Xiaoyu looked very interesting from the side, and lowered his head and took out his orange cat purse, and threw a golden cat's pouch into the water basin.
With a "click", the water splashed as the golden cat's cock fell into the basin, and the little guy laughed heartily.
The little guy's actions immediately attracted the attention of the ladies, and they all thought it was very strange and interesting. Mrs. Tian couldn't help but jokingly said that when the grandson washed the third year, his little hands and feet almost knocked over the basin.
The wives couldn't help laughing, and the small flower hall became more and more lively, full of chatter and laughter.
After the three baptisms, little Xiao Ye was taken away, and everyone moved to the west side hall, where they had a simple lunch, and then they all bid farewell in a manner. Accompanied to see off the guests.
After the guests had dispersed, he hurried back to his mother to claim credit.
In the room, little Xiao Ye wrapped in red swaddled clothes was lying on a small bed. He had already woken up, with a pair of eyes that were as shiny as black grapes, turning around, as if he was looking at the surrounding environment.
"Mother!" Xiao Xiaoyu rushed towards her mother's bed in a hurry, first knelt down on the head of the bed and kissed her, and then excitedly told about the three rituals just now, including How did I throw a golden lock when my younger brother was taking a bath, and how did I see off guests.
The little guy didn't have enough vocabulary to speak clearly, but it was enough for Nangong Yue to understand the key points, and from time to time he asked a few words and praised him a few words.
The little guy spoke with a dry mouth, gulped down a glass of warm water, and then noticed Xiao Yi standing at the door at some point.
Xiao Yi quietly looked at the three mother and child in the room, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his heart was soft.
"Daddy!" Xiao Xiaoyu blinked his eyes, his puzzled look seemed to be asking, Daddy, when did you come back? Why didn't you make a sound
Xiao Xiaoyu happily rushed towards his father again, Xiao Yi picked him up and hugged him easily in his arms.
"Ayi," Nangong Yue said with a smile, "Did you send your grandfather back?"
Xiao Yi responded, just now Lin Jingchen specially came to Bixiao Hall to give Nangong Yue a pulse diagnosis, after that, Xiao Yi personally sent Lin Jingchen back to the Lin residence.
"Ah Yue," Xiao Yi walked to the side of the bed and sat down, letting the eldest son sit on his lap, "I thought about it, the full moon ceremony will not be held..."
Xiao Yi just got up, and Nangong Yue vaguely guessed what he was going to say, and sure enough, he continued to say: "You sit for one more month of confinement, shall we hold a double full moon ceremony?"
Nangong Yue felt her head ache when she thought of the Shuangyuezi back then, she helped her forehead which was wrapped in a brocade handkerchief.
"Ayi..."
She tried to persuade Xiao Yi, but Xiao Yi was already prepared.
"I asked my grandfather and mother-in-law, and they both agreed." Xiao Yi said, taking Nangong Yue's bare hand, and gently rubbing her soft bare hand with his rough fingertips, a pair of twinkling peach blossom eyes Looking at Nangong Yue who has lost a lot of weight without blinking, she said slowly, "Ah Yue, my heart hurts."
Thinking of Nangong Yue's torment on the day of giving birth, Xiao Yi felt as if an invisible big hand was gripping his heart tightly, his voice was slightly choked up, and his black eyes seemed to have overflowed with passion. It's about to come out.
Nangong Yue subconsciously held his hand instead, wanting to tell him that she was fine; wanting to tell him that she was happy...
However, before the words were spoken, a chubby little hand was placed on the back of her hand in a serious manner, and then a beautiful little face poked out from his father's chest, imitating his father's expression seriously. Said in a tone: "Mother, brother Yu's heart hurts!"
The original charming atmosphere in the house was suddenly dissipated by Xiao Xiaoyu's words. Looking at the similar ones, one big and one small, Nangong Yue smiled, and her heart was as sweet as honey.
Facing them, what else could she do
There is only surrender.
On the other hand, Xiao Yi stared at little Xiao Yu. On the one hand, he felt that this brat was really ruining the atmosphere, and on the other hand, he felt that this brat seemed to be of some use.
At this moment, little Xiao Ye on the small bed suddenly began to cry unwillingly, whimpering and mournful, his pink mouth squirmed as if to suck.
Little Xiao Yu had heard such cries many times in the past few days, and he immediately said clearly, "Mother, brother is hungry!"
I don't know if it's Brothers Linked Hearts, or if the child's world has its own language. It's only been three days, and Xiao Yu has been able to accurately judge from the changes in his brother's cries whether his brother is hungry or out of respect. The servant girl was amazed, Xiao Xiao Yu was so proud after being praised a few times that her tail almost went up to the sky, she waited every day for others to praise him as a good brother, and would help her mother take care of her younger brother.
Xiao Xiaoyu's shout immediately alarmed the inside and outside of the house, and the nurse and maid immediately came in to hug the little master to drink milk. After a while of jumping around, the commotion subsided...
In the next few days, from Bixiaotang to the palace, everyone was immersed in the joy of having a new young master. Sometimes it was a reward from the son of the world, and sometimes it was a reward from Zhennan King. On this day, I received nearly half a year's extra monthly money, and the whole family was overjoyed.
If there are any exceptions in the palace, Xiao Luan is probably the only one, although he asked for advice from Guan Yubai, but he still has a lot of preoccupations.
"Why-"
Xiao Luan in the study did not know how many times he sighed, he couldn't even read the newly acquired "Fengyue Mechanism" in his hand.
He always felt that what happened to Qu Jiayue was like breaking a vase of his father when he was young. Although he temporarily turned the vase around and hid the hole in the shadow in the corner, this incident Sooner or later things will explode...
"Why-"
Another long sigh was only halfway through, when the boy's voice was deliberately raised from outside: "I have seen the second lady. The second master is reading inside."
Zhou Roujia is here!
Xiao Luan hastily closed the volume of "Fengyue Mechanism" in his hand, stuffed it randomly into the pile of books beside him, picked out another book at random, and hurriedly opened it...
Almost the next moment, there was a sound of curtains being raised, and Zhou Roujia, who was wearing a goose-yellow makeup and wide-sleeved gown, came in with a red lacquered wooden food box in her hand. Gentle smile.
Five days ago, also here, Xiao Luan and Zhou Roujia proposed a divorce. At that time, he said it suddenly, Zhou Roujia was shocked and hurt, but after two days of calming down alone in the enamel courtyard, thinking about how much Xiao Luan had done since the two got married. Although Luan was a little flirtatious and frivolous, it was mostly because of her youth and innocence. After she married into the palace, she lived a very good life. Even Aunt Zhang was honest after being brought back. Except for Aunt Zhang, there is no one else in Xiao Luan's backyard. Compared with some sisters she knew in her boudoir, she is much better now!
Perhaps people outside the mansion would say that Xiao Luan, the Second Young Master Xiao, is useless, a slutty young man who only flirts with friends, but Zhou Roujia thinks Xiao Luan like this is very good. Those who are self-indulgent and smart are a hundred times better...
On that day, Xiao Luan suddenly proposed to reconcile, and kept saying that he was sorry for her. There must be some reason she didn't know.
After the day of the three baptisms, the eldest sister-in-law Nan Gongyue once called her to comfort her and said that she and her elder brother already knew about Xiao Luan's matter and would deal with it on their own, so she needn't worry, everything will be as usual.
Zhou Roujia agreed, she believed in Nangong Yue, Xiao Yi, and Xiao Luan!
In just a few short steps, Zhou Roujia's thoughts were already changing, and her expression became softer.
"Msister." She knelt and blessed, then put the red lacquered wooden food box in her hand on the desk beside her, and said while opening the food box, "Don't you like the dim sum from Bai's shop the most? I bought you sweet-scented osmanthus red bean cakes and rose cakes from the Baijia shop, the desserts have just been baked and are still hot."
Hearing this, Xiao Luan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. It's not that he likes the dim sum in Bai's shop, but Pianpian likes it, so he used to go out of the house to buy it for her...
He doesn't seem to have ever bought snacks for his wife...
Thinking about it, Xiao Luan's guilt grew stronger, and his thoughts became a little confused.
When a plate of hot sweet-scented osmanthus red bean cake was held in front of him, his eyes shifted for a moment because of guilt, he suddenly remembered something, stood up abruptly, and blurted out: "Ah! I'm going to buy sweet-scented osmanthus red bean cake for Brother Guan Yes, how could I have forgotten it!"
After the words came out, there was a moment of silence in the study, Xiao Luan really wanted to slap himself, he said something wrong again, she thoughtfully bought him sweet-scented osmanthus red bean cake, but he pretended to take advantage of her kindness to do it In terms of human feelings, his husband is really a failure!
Zhou Roujia seemed to see Xiao Luan's embarrassment, and said considerately: "Sir, I also bought a box of sweet-scented osmanthus and red bean cakes, and I will have someone send them to Qingyunwu."
The more considerate Zhou Roujia was, the more Xiao Luan felt guilty, and hurriedly sent the plate of sweet-scented osmanthus and red bean cake in front of Zhou Roujia, "Miss, you can eat too. The dim sum in this Baijia shop is delicious, both sister-in-law and younger sister like it." .”
A strong smell of sweet-scented osmanthus mixed with the smell of red beans came to the nostrils. Zhou Roujia frowned, straightened up and stepped back a little, then smiled as if nothing had happened, picked up the rose cake on the side and said: "Sir, I prefer rose cakes .”
Xiao Luan was startled, it was the first time he knew that Zhou Roujia liked to eat rose cakes, and he blamed himself more and more.
He ate two pieces of sweet-scented osmanthus red bean cake without appetite, and then Zhou Roujia left, leaving only Xiao Luan looking at her back in despair. Bringing it up a bit more...
A few days later, Xiao Luan suddenly lost weight. On the morning of March 25th, his servant suddenly came in anxiously and said:
"Second Master, Miss Qu sent a message, asking Second Master to go to Nanhu Restaurant in the late afternoon!"
Xiao Luan's heart skipped a beat, and his heart sank little by little. At the same time, another voice said in his heart, just like Brother Guan said, Qu Jiayue is finally here!
