Jin Hyun Chronicle

On the day of Xisan, all the neighbors came to congratulate me, bringing oil cakes, sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, eggs, brown sugar, longan, lychees, red dates, peanuts, chestnuts, small clothes, shoes, socks, etc. as congratulatory gifts.The auspicious time has come, and Wen Po, who has her own midwife, bathes the child with peach root soup, and recites auspicious words tirelessly, wishing the child a safe growth.

The Zheng family also set up a few banquet tables in the courtyard, and it was full of guests for a while, and it was very lively, and it lasted until the end of noon.Seeing the piles of presents on the table, Zheng Qi saw it in his eyes and was happy in his heart. Although they were not worth much, they all came to bless his daughter after all, which was better than giving gold and silver.

He Xiang dug out a treasure from the pile of presents, and quickly showed it to his godfather, "This one seems to be from the Zhang family."

Zheng Qi knew what it was like to be a daughter-in-law, and joked: "It is true! No wonder you can see it at a glance! I said goddaughter, have you agreed? When are you planning to get married, so that the godfather can prepare the dowry for you, a big How about the dowry?"

Rao He Xiang was so eloquent that he couldn't speak, he hesitated and said: "Godfather is true, since I have a younger sister, I don't know what my last name is!" After that, ignore him and go to the kitchen to cook chicken soup .

Zheng Qi opened the gift from Zhang's family and found that it was really a good thing, but he was worried that he had nowhere to get it!It turned out to be a box of high-quality blood swallows, which Yunxian sometimes ate when she was pregnant, and they were brought from the capital by someone. There was no stock at home, so I happened to make up for it, so I went to the kitchen to clean it up.

"It's bird's nest! It's just for the godmother to eat." He Xiang stretched out his head to take a look, tsk-tsk in admiration, although his godfather can't cook home-cooked meals, but he can make bird's nest best, anyway, he will make whatever is precious, big The salt merchant is different, "Godfather, look at our three baptisms are so lively, the full moon banquet must be even more lively? I don't know if my grandpa can come, I still want to cook for him! Is the cooking good?"

"It's really good!" Zheng Qi knew that this daughter-in-law is capable, "But your grandfather is still patrolling around Meiling! I'm not sure if I can come back."

He Xiang thought of a very serious problem, "But giving the child a full moon is to show off the mother's family. The mother's family has to buy a lot of things for the child to have face. If the grandpa doesn't come, what should we do?"

"Then let's show off ourselves!" In Zheng Qi's view, this problem is easy to solve.

He Xiang nodded, whoever said no, godfather is the best at showing off, he brought a jade basin after three rites, and brought out a golden mountain before the full moon.

"Then how many tables should we set up? I can handle five or six tables. If there are too many, I will invite Master Wang who lives in the west of the town to make the table! According to the customs here, the full moon banquet is like marrying a wife, so there must be many people coming , This must be calculated first, if there are few people, you can remove a few tables, if there are too many people, it would be ugly if there are no seats."

Zheng Qi really didn't think about this, it turned out to be so troublesome to hold a full moon banquet, who knows how many people will come?It seems that this matter needs to be discussed with the Taoist priest.

It was already night when Yun Xian ate the bird's nest, although it was good, it was not easy to get it, he glanced at Zheng Qi and said: "You sent someone from the capital again? It's so far away, don't let someone deliver it in the future. "

"This is not from the capital, it is a gift from the Zhang family." Zheng Qi said while feeding, "Eat quickly, don't talk, this food is the most nourishing."

"Actually, I don't need to eat this." Yun Xian understood what he was thinking, but this thing is too expensive, one or two bird's nests are worth one or two gold!Now that the Zhang family is mentioned, I have to say something important, "When I was in Huatuo Temple, I asked Mr. Zhang what he meant, and he was quite satisfied with He Xiang. When the two children grow up, This should be done.”

"Okay, whatever you say is what you say! Anyway, let's call us godfathers and godmothers, and we can't treat her badly." Zheng Qi thought of another important thing, "I want to wait for Xian'er to grow up and repair this house. Repair, what do you think? Add a warm pavilion behind the dormitory, and expand the room where you store medicinal materials, do you think it would be good?"

"Okay! You can figure it out!" This house is well lived, and it has to be repaired. The house where the medicinal materials are stored is already spacious enough, and it needs to be expanded. Although I think so in my heart, Yun Yin is not easy to refute him. .

"You wait, I'll get a picture." Zheng Qi had just stepped out when he saw Bi Niang coming, talking to He Xiang, and went back to lock the door behind him.

After finishing chatting, Bi Niang couldn't open the door, she knew it was Zheng Qi's fault, but she didn't dare to shout loudly, her goddaughter was still asleep inside!He lowered his voice and said, "Zheng Qi, what the hell are you doing, open the door quickly."

Zheng Qi was not willing to open the door, and said through the crack of the door: "You have been tired all day, go back and rest quickly! Yunxian still has a child, I will take care of it, so don't worry!"

"Are you a big man who can take care of people? Open the door for me quickly." No matter how you say it, they won't open it anyway, making Bi Niang helpless, "Okay, just try it and you'll know. Don't bully Yunxian." After saying that, he shook his sleeves and left.

Seeing her leave, Zheng Qi was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. Although Yunxian didn't see Bi Niang's expression, he had already imagined it in his heart, and smiled and said: "You really are, how did you drive people away?" ?”

"I can take care of you, I don't need her."

Zheng Qi has not realized that he has exaggerated this, his daughter is really a troublesome person, she cried several times in one night, and she has to hold her to Yunxian's arms for breastfeeding, change diapers, and take care of her. Yun Yin drank more soup and didn't close his eyes almost all night, and only squinted for a while at dawn.

"When will our child grow up?" He lay on the side of the couch and asked Yunxian in a daze.

"I'll grow up in a few years." Yun Xian stroked his head to comfort him, with a smile on his lips, he couldn't stand it all night, why bother to keep Bi Niang out.

Zheng Qi nodded, and Mimi Dengdeng fell asleep again. In his dream, the child had grown up. He carried her to the market to buy a kite, went to a teahouse to listen to books, caught fish by the river...

In the dream, the girl was wearing a goose yellow dress, with ribbons flying around her hair, she was smiling all over her face, it was the kind of cheerful smile after teasing someone, she looked up triumphantly, wandering in the streets and alleys, Walking and bouncing.

In the dream, the daughter was standing on the stone bridge, as if she had suddenly turned into a slim girl. The young man opposite him was wearing a yellow cloak, and he was holding a jade pendant with a palace sash around her waist. .

The daughter had a smile on her face, "Brother Emperor, are you visiting in private? How is Sister Clove? I haven't seen her for a long time?"

Jian Shen also smiled, so warmly, and her daughter smiled so sweetly.
