"Congratulations, Miss Shen, congratulations, Miss Shen! The birth of a young son!" The woman had blood on her face, and she was so happy that she could not close her mouth.
I stretched out my hand and touched his face with my fingertips. It was fluffy and seemed to be interesting. So, I touched it again. I didn't want to. The Yuanyuan with his eyes closed suddenly moved, making me look at him in a strange way. Saw a pale mole behind the auricle...
"Take it out and show it to my father." I coughed, my voice hoarse so much that even I was startled.
"Yes, yes, I'll go now. Miss Shen is frail after giving birth and must take good care of herself." Madam Wen got my words, and she walked out of the compartment with Xiao Yuan Yuan Le Dian Dian.
"Mother and son are safe! Congratulations to Master Shen and your concubines!"
The aunties were excited for a while, not knowing what they were talking about, but I heard my father's voice like Hong Zhong talking over everyone: "Look at this little appearance! How small is it like a dumpling without fillings? !"
Granny Wen smiled, "Master Shen, don't worry, the little son born in August is naturally no bigger than those full-term children, there is a folk saying that there is no life or death, the old man thought that this was a bad luck, and it was impossible to think that Miss Shen was lucky. People have their own celestial signs, and they are born more smoothly than those who are full-term. I think that the young master must be the reincarnation of a lucky star. After careful adjustment, when you grow up, you will definitely not lose to others."
"Okay!" Dad seemed to be very happy after hearing Po Wen's tongue-in-cheek lotus, and said cheerfully: "Reward! Everyone has a reward today! Grandma Chen wants to reward him even more!"
"Thank you, Master Shen, thank you, Master Shen!" Granny Wen hurriedly thanked her.
Immediately afterwards, I heard a burst of "crackling" thunder, presumably because my aunt asked someone to set off firecrackers outside the gate to celebrate. I was so tired that I felt that the sound of the firecrackers was like the little tune that my mother hummed on the bedside when I was a child. After a while, I couldn't open my eyes in a daze and fell into a dark and sweet land.
I slept for a long time, and seemed to dream of a person in the dark and dark. Just like when I was sick, I leaned against the head of the bed all night long, and from time to time reached out and gently stroked my cheek, as if touching it like this would make me feel better. I evenly divided the pain on my body, "I've made you suffer... In the future, I'll get everything back for you, okay?" The voice that was neither high nor low, neither hurry nor slow slowly drifted into a dream, either true or false...
When I woke up and opened my eyes again, the sun had already climbed halfway up the mountain, and the green warbler was standing on tiptoe and hanging a curtain to block the light.
I swallowed and said to her, "Don't hang up, I'm a little hungry, go and get me some food."
Lu Ying looked back and saw that I was awake, and said with joy: "Miss, you are awake, it's been two days since I slept, and the aunt is saying that if you don't wake up, she will pinch your arm and wake you up, lest the young lady be hungry. No, the food on the table has just arrived, and it's still hot."
I turned around and was about to get up, but I might as well see a small dumpling that was not as big as a pillow on the side of the pillow, with a small face, small hands, small arms and legs, and the corners of my mouth were pursed gracefully. I couldn't help but feel an itch in my heart, I wanted to reach out and scratch him, but I felt that it seemed a little immoral to do so. After sitting and fighting for a while, I might hear Lu Ying snickering, "Master Sun slept no less than the young lady. If you want to hug, miss, you will have the strength to hug after a good meal."
When I thought about it, yes, I sat up halfway, and the green warbler put the food on the bed on a supporting table. I have never been hungry for such a long time. Chew deliciously.
While I was eating, I listened to the green warbler scooping soup and fluffing in my ear, what kind of third son rushed over in a carriage at night regardless of his own health, and my uncle didn't even sit in the carriage, he was driving by himself. I came here and sighed that the third son didn't know what was wrong, his face was white, his feet were a little soft when he walked, and how his uncle Dao was riding a horse like a gust of wind, fast like lightning, and heroic appearance, but unfortunately, I heard that My father didn't let anyone into the garden, he blocked all of them from the flower hall, politely ordered two cups of tea and sent them back.
I don't care, listen, Quan eats the food that I was eating right now.
After raising it for a few days, I either eat or sleep during the day. If it wasn't for the occasional glutinous rice balls to tease him when they wake up, I'd be so bored that I would become a piece of moldy tofu. Today, I saw that the weather outside was fine and there was no wind, so I asked my aunt to help me to relax in the garden.
Smelling the fragrance of flowers and plants in March, I slowly moved my pace, occasionally inserting a sentence "Oh." "Huh?" "Ah!" Tangyuan followed step by step.
It is not false to say that Jiangnan has all the Shen Gardens. How many generations of the Shen family have invested in this garden, and how many gardens have been built by skilled craftsmen, can it not be beautiful? Of course, I thought that the beauty of our home has nothing to do with the flowers and plants.
Of course, I don't want today's winding path not only leads to the "secret", but also leads to the dragon vein.
He was turning around a rockery corridor when he turned his head and bumped into the noble emperor, and heard his father-in-law scolding: "Bold! Who is driving in shock?"
Auntie and Lu Ying were so frightened that they immediately knelt down. I was about to kneel when I heard the Wansui Ye smiled kindly: "Isn't this Miss Shen? No courtesy, get up."
"Damn the girl, she bumped into Your Majesty, and I hope His Majesty will forgive her sins." I was blessed.
"Hehe, I saw that the weather was good today and I decided to visit Shen Garden temporarily, but I just arrived, I can't blame Miss Shen, what's the guilt." His Majesty the Emperor smiled with a face close to the people, and he was completely different from what he saw by the lake that day.
I couldn't help but look up, but I saw my father, Pei and Song were in the entourage behind him. Well, there was also a girl who looked like a flower and jade. It wasn't anyone else. It was the day I was in Daming Temple. The pretty girl, who had been in a relationship with two sides, was staring at me with two round eyes.
"This child is...?" His Majesty's gaze passed over me and my aunt, and landed on the dumplings in Lu Ying's arms. He pretended to ask Daddy.
"It's Caomin's newly acquired grandson a few days ago. His Majesty laughed." Dad replied.
The emperor suddenly realized: "Oh, then congratulations to Shen Qian."
"Don't dare to do it, don't dare to do it, thank you Your Majesty." If it was according to Daddy's temperament on weekdays, he would laugh out loud, but now dealing with this real dragon and emperor with such politeness, it must have made Daddy feel bad.
"Come here and I'll take a look."
Song Xiyuan raised his eyes, and Pei Yanzhen frowned.
"Yes." Lu Ying hurriedly took the dumplings up and showed them to Long Live Master. But seeing the emperor raised his eyebrows and glanced at the dumplings, he said coolly: "What a baby who is carved with pink and jade." That look, that tone of voice, how could it sound a sour taste of disdain? is jealous! Don't look at His Majesty the Emperor's Three Palaces and Six Courtyards, I heard that apart from the shadows of the five charming little princesses and half of the male heirs, I have not yet seen them. Although I thought the girls were better, the family of the emperor is no better than the commoners. Now I see a commoner with a flat head. Being a man in one fell swoop, naturally, there must be such a trace of jealousy.
"Your Majesty is wrong." Dad replied.
"Do you have a name?" Seeing that Lord Long live as if he was about to give his name, I hurriedly said, "My child's name is Shen Xiao."
"Shen... Xiao?" His Majesty the Emperor pulled the two words to the length of noodles, and said with a gloomy expression: "Waiting for the thunderstorm to rise to the sky. Such a powerful name, eh~?"
Uh…
"Your Majesty may have misunderstood, it's not the Xiao of Yunxiao, but the Xiao of Lantern Festival." Dad explained calmly. Because the doll looks like a glutinous rice ball, it looks like a glutinous rice ball. In fact, if it had followed Daddy's informal temperament, it might have been called "Shen Yuan". Fortunately, I turned a corner. Isn't the glutinous rice ball just the Lantern Festival. Hence the name "Shen Xiao".
Hearing the words, the emperor's expression softened just now, and said, "Yuanxiao? A good name, very pleasant." I don't know if Tangyuan's eyes closed and indifferently sleeping made him happy, but seeing him stretch out on a whim His fingers touched the small face of Tangyuan. Originally, Tangyuan was sleeping well, but at this moment, he suddenly opened a pair of black eyes. Like a puppy, he sipped the dragon's paw on his mouth into his mouth, quickly and again. allow.
Everyone present was shocked, and one or two thumped and knelt down.
"Bold boy! How dare you bite the emperor!" The pretty girl in the entourage rushed up, and the glutinous rice balls were a just and righteous scolding, and the tangyuan flapped her wings and long eyelashes. Now, he turned his head and took out a handkerchief and handed it to the emperor, "Brother Huang, is there any blood?"
I paused, brother? Could it be the nine princesses? It's no wonder that I haven't seen the world for a long time in the deep palace. The glutinous rice balls will only be born in a few days, and they have no teeth at all. Not to mention "bleeding" or "biting" in this mouthful , at most, the dragon's claws were mistaken for food.
"The child was abrupt and bumped into His Majesty! I hope His Majesty forgive me!" I kowtowed repeatedly in a panic.
"Forget it." But seeing that the emperor took a handkerchief and wiped the saliva on his hand slowly, he said, "It's okay, Jiumei don't have to worry, there is no blood." Suddenly, the light in his eyes changed, and Xie Xie smiled and said: " Speaking of blood tests, I have heard that there is a blood test for relatives, Imperial Physician Jiang, is that true?"
An old man with gray beard in the entourage immediately folded his hands and bent over and replied, "Exactly. If you need to verify blood relatives, you only need to take two drops of the blood of the two people into a vessel. If the blood drops are fused, they are relatives. Repulsion and condensation means there is no kinship."
My heart skipped a beat. Unexpectedly, the emperor even took the imperial doctor with him when he went around the garden, obviously he came prepared.
Hearing the emperor said leisurely: "Oh, it sounds very reasonable. If not, let's try it now. What do Pei Aiqing and San Gongzi think?"
small book booth
Pei Yanzhen's face was as usual, Song Xiyuan smiled slightly, and all obeyed the instructions of the sage.
His Majesty the Emperor resolutely brought a group of people to the flower hall in the front yard and sat down. Obviously, if the sage couldn't figure out who the glutinous rice dumplings were, he would never give up.
Holding the white and tender glutinous rice balls in my arms, I watched the imperial doctor raise a bright silver needle to draw blood. As soon as he turned his head, he could see that Pei and Song were both staring at the dumplings in distress, and their eyes were like gouging out meat. The nine princesses also leaned aside curiously, almost touching Pei Yanzhen's arm.
"Master Pei, Young Master Song, which one of the two will come first?" Jiang Taiyi politely raised the porcelain basin and sharpened the knife to the two of them.
"I'll come first." Song Xiyuan rolled up his sleeves, revealing a slender arm. With the other hand, he took the knife and slashed a cut on his arm. Immediately, bright red blood beads poured out one after another, and I closed the door. closed eyes.
He opened his eyes again, but saw that Imperial Physician Jiang was cautiously taking Song Xiyuan's blood drop and dumpling's blood drop and placing it in a small porcelain plate, and there was no sound. Everyone was staring at the blood bead. The china plate was almost pierced.
It didn't take a moment for two droplets of blood to slowly touch and hold together, and finally, they merged together.
"Congratulations to Song Gongzi on your son. This child should be from Song Gongzi." Jiang Taiyi pointed at Song Xiyuan with a bloody silver.
I moved my hand holding the dumplings, and Song Xiyuan's eyes instantly turned into a crescent moon. He didn't even notice that the handkerchief covering the wound to stop the bleeding fell to the ground. His Majesty the Emperor frowned.
At this moment, Pei Yanzhen suddenly stood up, took the knife and gave it to himself, and placed his blood beads and rice balls in one place.
Five lightning strikes! Unexpectedly, these two drops of blood swayed and trembled under the eyes of the public, and they merged into one, and there was no condensation.
"Ah!" Jiang Taiyi was dumbfounded. Song Xiyuan was stunned, his father slapped his forehead, Pei Yanzhen smiled lightly, His Majesty the Emperor stared, and the nine princesses had a mouthful of cherry blossoms.
I looked at the light mole behind the auricles of the dumplings, and suddenly became interested, "Why don't you try it as well."
Before everyone could react, I had already scratched my own blood and the blood of the dumplings and put them in one place, two drops of fresh blood were lightly touched, and after a while, it was clean and refreshingly condensed into a maroon.
"Doctor Jiang, what is this saying?" I raised my head and asked for advice humbly with great interest.
"This... this... this..." But seeing that the imperial doctor's eyebrows and beard twitched, his face was tied into a mess like a chamber pot, and the convulsions suddenly turned purple and green.
Immediately, His Majesty the Emperor's face seemed to have been severely smashed by a shoe print, and it was as black as the bottom of a pot. He clutched his cuff and slapped the table. Too half forgot that the bad idea was figured out by himself, and he took his own humiliation. The imperial doctor scolded: "Absurd!"
The blood test was over.
