old lady in red

At the invitation of all officials, Emperor Jiahe held a longevity banquet to accept court congratulations.

The royal family, princes and ministers came forward to toast wave after wave, wishing Emperor Jiahe a long life and boundless life.

Emperor Jiahe was just putting on a show.

He knows his body and cannot drink alcohol.

He just wanted to live as long as possible and arrange his funeral properly.

However, Emperor Jiahe suddenly liked this atmosphere very much: "I am unwell and can't drink alcohol. The fourth prince and his son will accept the kindness of all the ministers and workers on my behalf."

The fourth prince and Shuiyang bowed at the same time: "My son (grandson) leads the decree!"

Said it was three glasses of wine, but only three sips.

After all, the emperor's grandson is only ten years old.

Children should not drink too much alcohol.

Emperor Jiahe beckoned Shuiyang to approach again, and explained.

The emperor's grandson said at this time: "The emperor's grandfather is unwell, and Shuiyang will be honored as a servant for the emperor's grandfather."

As soon as these words came out, Madam Yanhou trembled suddenly.

Although five years later.

Although, Shuiyang's voice has changed, it has completely shed the childish voice of the past.

However, Mrs. Yan Hou still felt that this voice was so familiar, and there was a kindness in the familiarity.

Madam Yan Hou stretched her neck, but she couldn't see the little child on the golden steps clearly.

Madam Yan Hou was about to stand up when she was in a hurry.

Yanhou stopped him: "What are you doing? This is Junqian."

Madam Yan Hou was full of excitement: "Husband, did you hear this voice, this voice sounds like our little four..."

Yan Hou pinched his wife's hand: "Hush, that's the grandson of the emperor, the grandson of the emperor is the same age as our little four..."

Madam Yanhou shook her head and said, "No..."

Yanhou's mother held her daughter-in-law's hand at this time: "The child's voice is similar, he is the son of the fourth prince. You have three children, Hui'er is also pregnant, don't be rude."

Madam Yanhou's eyes were red, but she nodded in agreement.

However, she was really not reconciled, and stretched her head as far as possible, trying to see the appearance of the emperor's grandson Shuiyang.

But only saw an outline.

Also, at this time, princes and ministers have been coming forward in shifts to congratulate and toast.

blocked her eyes.

She could only see a young man standing tall, but couldn't see his face clearly.

When she was in a hurry, she burst into tears and couldn't see clearly.

At this time, Emperor Jiahe seemed to sense something.

The emperor's grandson spoke again: "The emperor's grandfather ordered that I feel unwell, and ordered the fourth prince to preside over the longevity banquet."

All the officials knelt down to thank them.

Because Emperor Jiahe was unwell, Emperor Sun Shuiyang helped him to leave the table early.

At this time, Hou Yan comforted his wife: "Our little four is not so tall, and he is also very timid, how dare we host the birthday banquet for His Majesty?"

The emperor's grandson has disappeared without a trace.

Madam Yanhou nodded and said, "I see."

Yan Hou was frustrated.

Five years have passed, if you are not very familiar with people, you should not recognize Shuiyang.

Shuiyang's figure is tall, and the round and immature face before now has a handsome outline.

Every gesture has the majesty of a superior.

When we met today, His Majesty originally asked Yan Hou to complain of illness, and fettered Yan Hou's wife.

Yan Hou felt that his wife was pitiful, so he took her to meet his son, even if he was a stranger.

Unexpectedly, the voice of the emperor's grandson leaked information.

Yanhou thought, before the emperor's grandson changed his voice, he couldn't let his wife meet with Shuiyang again.

Otherwise, I am afraid of endangering the mother and child.

At such a time, the fourth prince had already started hosting the birthday banquet on behalf of Emperor Jiahe.

He stepped down from his seat and personally toasted several elders.

Madam Yan Hou felt a little depressed at this moment, and he thought of his youngest son again.

At this time, Shi Mei talked about Shui Ling: "Girl Ling'er is also very strange, she didn't eat egg custard before, but now she likes to eat it, especially peach blossom fish.

Lian'er sent someone back a catty or two every now and then to satisfy the greedy girl Shui Ling. "

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Yanhou put aside her longing for her son: "Ling'er has met a good family. I want to respect the two wives for taking such good care of Ling'er."

Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Yang interrupted hurriedly, asking about Fu Hui's situation.

several

The woman spoke in a low voice.

When Mrs. Yan Hou mentioned that her daughter-in-law was pregnant, she had a smile on her face.

Yang's pure sympathy for Mrs. Yanhou.

She also lost a child, and she never met that child, so she was so sad.

What's more, Mrs. Yanhou's child is five years old?

Therefore, it is also mixed in to interrupt.

She deliberately envied and envied Mrs. Zhang's Yan Hou's good life, and her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law were all pregnant.

Mrs. Yang even took the opportunity to invite Mrs. Yan Hou's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law: "On the sixth day of October, my family's Rong'er is Dading, you two must come, let us boys be blessed by you two."

With this breaking up, Madam Yan Hou calmed down her melancholy, and the banquet ended smoothly.

The next day.

Emperor Jiahe promulgated a new imperial decree, which re-divided the supervisory responsibilities of the eldest prince and the four princes.

The eldest prince oversees the Ministry of War and Industry, and is in charge of garrison defense.

The fourth prince is in charge of the household department and the official department, and the appointment of officials and money bags of the entire imperial court are in the hands of the fourth prince.

Under the strong recommendation of the fourth prince, the thirteenth prince also got a serious job, supervising the Criminal Department, the Inspectorate, Dali Temple, and taking charge of the world's prisons.

As soon as this order came out, the fourth prince's position as the crown prince was almost ready to be revealed.

However, Emperor Jiahe had neither a Zen throne nor a crown prince.

He continued to hide in Jingshan to enjoy the cool air, and handed over the court to his three sons.

The fifth prince was very unlucky, two concubines gave birth to him two beautiful princesses.

The fifth prince wants to lift the house arrest indefinitely.

However, Concubine Fu Xian didn't seem to be discouraged.

I heard that at the end of June, the Fifth Prince's two concubines were diagnosed as two months pregnant.

As for whether it is a man or a woman, we can only wait until February next year to find out.

Hu Yanran originally estimated that the due date would be around the end of June, but she didn't start until the sixth day of July.

Then on the seventh day of the seventh month, a daughter was born.

Shi Mei was also really convinced.

This daughter-in-law candidate has been changed, and the child on the seventh day of July is still stubborn.

However, Shi Mei didn't believe that the seventh day of the seventh lunar month must be evil.

□□ Mothers, grandparents, and parents have all changed. Can fate not be changed?

Jia Zheng was still flipping through books, looking for classics.

Shi Mei then said: "Grandchildren are all named by their parents, so the right to name the first great-granddaughter belongs to my ancestor."

Jia Zhu knew how powerful the old lady was, so she couldn't ask for more, so she hugged her daughter and kowtowed to Shi Mei: "Please give me a name from the old ancestor!"

Shi Mei took the child and said: "Fang Cao is better than a gentleman.

Girls in our family also need to be gentlemen.

Our baby is called Sister Xuan. "

Hemerocallis is also known as Wangyoucao, the mother flower.

I hope that under the care of her relatives, this girl will be carefree, be a wife, a mother, and always be an ancestor.

July is the ghost month. In order to ward off evil spirits and avoid disasters, Shi Mei put a piece of spiritual jade pendant in the child's swaddle.

She told Hu Yanran: "The jade pendant is too heavy, don't hang it on the child's body, just put it in the swaddle through the clothes."

The spirit jade pendant that Shi Mei chose was carved into the shape of an orchid, which is simply a standard accessory for this great-granddaughter.

Shimei actually carved a pair of jade pendants.

But the one with the bamboo pattern is being polished.

This can be regarded as fate.

Since Wanshou, Jia Lian has gone home more often.

Sometimes even though I don't stay at home overnight, or in the morning or evening, I will go home for a while.

Shi Mei didn't ask, probably because Emperor Jiahe and Shuiyang meant it.

The emperor's grandson is ten years old.

Emperor Jiahe would treat his granddaughter Shui Ling kindly, no matter from cultivating the courage of the emperor's grandson or taking care of his grandson's mood.

Furthermore, Emperor Jiahe rewarded Jia Lian more.

Things don't care about high or low, sometimes they are Lingyu, and sometimes they are brocade silks produced by weaving.

Sometimes it's the fine wine from Fanbang's palace, and the fruit from the south.

Anyway, Jia Lian has a share of what the prince and grandson have.

This should be a reward from Emperor Jiahe.

What the Prince's Mansion doesn't have, Jia Lian also has.

This should be something that Shuiyang divided from his share.

Zhang and Shui Ling had a very good impression of Emperor Jiahe.

Your Majesty is so considerate to his subjects.

Although I know the identity of Yanhou, although Emperor Jiahe is likely to be Aiwujiwu.

However, his goodness is indeed real.

Shi Mei knew that this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law remembered Shuiyang's goodness on Emperor Jiahe.

The seventh day of August.

Erfang makes a full moon for Xuaner.

Mrs. Zhang was very satisfied with Hu Yanran and her husband, and arranged wine for Hu Yanran and her daughter in Rongxi Hall.

This time, Jia Zhu only sent invitations to relatives and friends in Rongfu.

However, there were many guests who came to Rong Mansion's full moon banquet.

Most of the guests here came for the three daughters of the Rong Mansion.

There were also people who directed at Jia Zhang.

This time, Shui Ling's aunt, Mrs. Mei Hanlin, brought her son and daughter to Rong Mansion to see relatives.

Shi Mei wants Shui Ling to marry Ying Chun into the Mei family.

As a result, the mother and daughter Mei Xiner fell in love with Jia Zhang.

At that time, because the Zhang family was anxious to show their daughter, the Mei family came to marry their daughter.

Mrs. Zhang was a little lost in interest, so she didn't continue to talk in depth.

She is in a hurry to marry her daughter, but her son is not in a hurry to be honest.

It's still a long way from the old lady's 20-year-old marriage age.

This year has passed, and Mei Xiner is fourteen.

Jia's house can't do it, there are alternate families in other houses, and Mrs. Mei can get in touch with others.

This time I came here to meet Mrs. Zhang and see if this marriage can be settled.

Shui Ling naturally actively facilitated this marriage.

Cousins ​​are sisters-in-law, and they are more cordial than others.

Mei Xiner knew that her mother was going to discuss marriage with Mrs. Zhang, so she followed her cousin Shui Ling when she arrived at Rong Mansion.

Shi Mei felt that the Mei family's marriage could be concluded: "No matter how anxious you are about the marriage to welcome the Spring Festival, you have to settle Jia Zhang's marriage first. If the elder brother didn't mention the marriage, how can you tell the younger sister first?

As for the time to marry, we will discuss it with the Mei family later.There is no reason why any natal family is not willing to keep their daughter for a few more years. "

Mrs. Zhang had no choice but to endure her anxiety and contact Mrs. Mei's family.

The Mei family has two sons and two daughters, and this Mei Xiner has an elder brother who has already talked about marriage.

This is also the reason why Mrs. Mei didn't all tout the Spring Festival, but Jia Zhang.

Furthermore, Mrs. Mei actually took a fancy to the way the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law get along in Rongfu, so she rushed to marry her daughter.

If it weren't for the kindness of Rongfu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Mrs. Mei would never be so proactive.

This is also for the happiness of her daughter, trying to suffer a little grievance.

The girl from the Mei family is very lively, otherwise she would not have taken a fancy to Jia Zhang and hinted that her mother was getting married.

The Mei family is a Hanlin family. The girls learned to read with their brothers when they were young, and only when they were older did they invite female teachers and nuns to teach them.

The general situation is similar to that of Rongfu.

However, Mei Xiner prefers to recite poems and compose Fu, and she is a bit lacking in common affairs.

These are also things that can be taught.

There are still quite a few daughter-in-law candidates that Mrs. Zhang can choose.

However, seeing Mei Xin'er speculating with Shui Ling, a harmonious family with sisters-in-law can increase the brothers' feelings even more.

Mrs. Zhang agreed to the Mei family's marriage.

In August next year, Mei Xiner and Yan will come to have a small appointment.

Mrs. Mei's husband is a fifth-rank, and even if she is not the eldest son, she is a high-ranking son of Rongfu, and she is very happy.

Furthermore, the head grandmother of Rongfu is the daughter's cousin.

The daughter's life must be going well.

But Mrs. Zhang was tangled in her heart, how could her Yingchun not be as lucky as Mei Xiner?

In the first month, it was said that Zhou's mother and son were invited to Lin's mansion to appreciate plum blossoms, and Mrs. Zhang took the opportunity to see each other.

As a result, Zhou's eldest son was just learning to ride a horse, and was thrown off, breaking his ankle and bruising his cheek.

Although the problem is not big, it is a hundred days of injury.

Afterwards, they said they wanted to make another appointment, but it was delayed because of Yuan Chun's marriage, Shui Ling's pregnancy, and Jia Rong's promise of marriage.

After several times of unsuccessful reunion, Mrs. Zhang felt a little jealous, afraid that this child would not be destined for Yingchun?

This time, Feng Jiawei's family was the most active among those who came to inquire about the news of welcoming and cherishing the spring.

Zhang doesn't like it.

There are also several Hanlin families.

But it was because they were alienated from the Lin family at the beginning and were displeased by Jia Amnesty.

The two couples have their own likes and dislikes.

The marriage of welcoming the spring and cherishing the spring seems to have many people inquiring about it, but the marriage has not progressed.

There are many applications from other places, and Mrs. Zhang is reluctant to let her daughter marry far away.

Even if it is a low marriage, Zhang wants to choose a family in the suburbs of Beijing or Zhili.

This is also the mother-in-law plot.

When my son talks about his daughter-in-law, he always feels that his son is so good.

Picking a son-in-law is a lot of dissatisfaction.

Soon it will be August sixteenth.

Hu Yanran's younger brother let Xiaoding live.

Hu Yanran just had a full moon.

This time, Mrs. Zhang went to Hu's house as a guest.

The Rong Mansion has earned enough face for Hu Yanran, the granddaughter-in-law.

Ninety-ninth Chongyang, the Rong Mansion was rewarded again, and they were all rare southern fruits.

Juicy fruit can't be eaten up.

As time entered September, Jia Lian spent more and more time going home.

After Shi Mei inquired, she found out that the emperor's grandson has now strengthened the training of cultural literacy, and martial arts practice is not included in the work and rest time.

Jia Lian only needs to give guidance when Shuiyang needs it.

Perhaps Shuiyang deliberately made it easier for Jia Lian, and he only visited Jia Lian once every ten and a half months.

Fast forward to October.

Mrs. Zhang, who used to be keen on going out to socialize, no longer went out to socialize. Instead, she let Ye Yun take charge of the general affairs and kept an eye on the eldest daughter-in-law.

Rongxi Hall lived in two midwives.

Imperial Physician Wang also agreed that he would go to the Rong Mansion after leaving the Yamen for a period of time to ask Shui Ling for a pulse.

The sixth day of October.

Jia Rong is determined.

Shui Ling, as a matchmaker, went to sit in the house accompanied by Jia Lian.

Shui Ling's due date is October [-]th.

Mrs. Chen, the old princess of Wujun County, and his daughter-in-law, Mrs. Yan Hou, gave birth gifts on the eighth day of October.

In addition to the birth gift, the Marquis of Yan also gave away such things as chickens, ducks, fish and pig's trotters.

The pig's trotter is the blowing hoof in front, and the meaning is self-evident.

Although Shui Ling doesn't breastfeed, but these things have to be given.

Furthermore, Shui Ling needs to milk the baby.

This is the consensus of Rongfu's daughter-in-law.

On the ninth day of October, the spirit of water is launched.

Shui Ling was drinking custard at the time.

Suddenly, the silver spoon in his hand ding-dong and smashed into the white porcelain bowl.

"Oh, yo..."

Shui Ling's close maid was busy helping her: "What's the matter, girl?"

Jia Lian happened to be at home that day, leaning on the Arhat's bed reading a book, watching his daughter-in-law eat fruit and egg custard, and seemed to never get enough to eat.

The previous delicate duck egg face has become a silver plate face.

There are four pink and tender meat nests in a row on the back of the hand.

However, Shui Ling still ate and ate, always saying that her stomach was empty.

These days, Shui Ling said that she was hungry in the middle of the night and wanted to eat in a daze.

Jia Lian sent him spiritual power to fool him, but Shui Ling really stopped complaining about being hungry.

When she got up the next day, she told Jia Lian that she drank a kind of fine wine in her dream, which tasted delicious and filled her stomach.

Jia Lian asked her the name of the wine.

Shui Ling said angrily that at that time, because she was hungry, she only cared about eating and drinking, and didn't ask for his name carefully.

Jia Lian was amused, this is his exclusive secret recipe, love wine!

How can ordinary people know the name!

At such a time, seeing Shui Ling was startled, jumped up busy, hugged Shui Ling: "What's uncomfortable?"

Shui Ling said: "Stomach hurts!"

Jia Lian pressed Shui Ling's veins and hugged his daughter-in-law: "Tell the wife, the young mistress is about to give birth."

Jia Lian put his daughter-in-law on the Luohan couch and wiped her sweat: "Don't be afraid, I have it."

As he spoke, he used his spiritual power to replenish Shui Ling's physical strength and heal the trauma.

This is when the child begins to open the door of life.

Pain naturally.

Within a quarter of an hour, Shimei, Zhang's family, Hu Yanran and Ye Yun all arrived.

Everyone surrounded Shui Ling to comfort her.

Hu Yanran whispered her experience.

At this time, the Yang family and Yu family from Ningfu also arrived.

Another consolation.

The last one to come is to welcome the spring and cherish the spring and explore the spring.

The three of them went to Chunhuiyuan to go to school.

At this time, Shuiling returned to normal and began to eat fruit.

Winter dates, apples, bananas, pears, and raisins. Eat them differently, and they will taste delicious.

Shimei, Zhang's, and Yang's all have the same feeling, and they will eat it when they go back. Does it look so sweet?

Yingchun Xichun Tanchun and the three discussed around Shui Ling, whether to have a nephew or a niece?

Yingchun said: "I already have Xuan'er, my sister-in-law will give birth to a little nephew for my ancestors to play with."

Shi Mei: Uh, the old lady didn't mean that...

Mrs. Zhang said angrily: "Ying girl, why is my nephew just playing? Say love!"

Yingchun pursed her lips and smiled, and said with her fingers, "It's only natural. My little nephew reads, writes, and shoots arrows. I'm all for it."

Tanchun said: "Riding horses and practicing swords, I will do it!"

Xichun's mouth slowed down, so she snorted: "How can your beautiful fists and embroidered legs be enough to teach your nephew?

My nephew wants to do big things when he grows up, so he naturally has to learn martial arts from his second brother. Your airs can catch up to the second brother's champion in martial arts? "

Yingchun Tanchun looked at Xichun: "You are jealous, because you can't ride a horse, you can't dance a sword, you can write poems, but you can't compare with the eldest brother, the second brother, the third brother and the fourth brother!"

Xichun pouts and walks next to Mrs. Zhang.

Mrs. Zhang patted Xichun and pointed at Yingchun: "Be quiet!"

Xichun wrinkled her nose at Yingchun and smiled triumphantly.

Zhizhi pestered Yingchun: "Second aunt, I can also teach my little brother. I can dance swords, shoot a slingshot, climb trees, swim, and ride a sika deer. I will teach my little brother everything in the future. ..."

Shi Mei and Zhang Shi looked at each other and smiled.

At the beginning, Jia Rong was also sent to take care of Jia Zhang.

The little uncle is long, the little uncle is short, and also supervises the nanny.

If the nanny is negligent, he will sue.

Seeing this, Yang could only sigh.

The children in Rongfu are springing up like mushrooms after rain.

In terms of doing good deeds and accumulating virtue, the Ning Mansion is not bad, is it?

Every year, they donate porridge, donate medicine, and donate money. Why don't they send money to others?

But he forgot that Rong Mansion also cultivated sweet potatoes, which has countless merits for living people.

Shui Ling started from breakfast this day, and after that, she felt pain every other hour.

At lunch time, Jia Lian personally delivered the letter across the house. Mrs. Yanhou should actually be called Princess Wujun.

However, everyone is used to calling her Mrs. Yanhou.

Mrs. Yanhou's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law arrived at Rongfu.

Shui Ling had always been strong, but when she saw her real grandmother and mother, she burst into tears.

Shimei and Zhang have experience, so they only sent the two wives of Yan Hou's family over and left, so as not to embarrass the daughter-in-law.

Madam Yan Hou was very happy.

The daughter is about to give birth, the mother-in-law is admitted, the imperial physician, and the nanny have all entered the mansion, and everything is ready.

Mrs. Chen, or rather, Princess Wu, comforted her grandson: "This silly girl is going to be a mother, and she still has to act like a baby."

Shui Ling was embarrassed, touched the corner of his eyes and said: "I'm not crying, but happy, I miss my grandmother, I miss my mother."

Madam Yan Hou wiped her daughter's tears: "I'm not here to see you, so stop crying, it's not good for the child."

Shui Ling nodded and wiped away tears: "My mother-in-law, sister-in-law and sisters are all well, I'm really happy."

Beginning in the evening, Shuiling's labor pains intensified.

The pain lasted until midnight before giving birth to a son.

Holding her grandson, Mrs. Zhang still did not forget to care for Shui Ling: "Daughter-in-law has worked hard, are you okay?"

On the other hand, Shi Mei held Shui Ling's hand, and secretly sent spiritual power to replenish her physical strength and help her deliver the placenta.

Madam Yan Hou wiped her daughter's sweat.

The midwife couldn't stop rubbing Shuiling's lower abdomen lightly.

Soon, Shui Ling gave birth to the placenta, and it was finally safe.

Ye Yun had already prepared the pigeon soup at this time, and brought it out with her own hands.

Not only Shui Ling, but also the two wives of Yan Hou Mansion present, Shimei Zhang, Yang Yu and Hu Yanran, and Yingchun Xichun Tanchun who were waiting outside, all had chicken soup.

Shi Mei said: "Is the study delivered?"

Yan Hou, his father and son, Jia She and Jia Lian are all waiting in Meng Pozhai.

Soon, Jia Amnesty's grandson's name was sent in.

Shi Mei took a look, Jia Lan?

Shi Mei: ...

This must have been Jia Zheng's name, and Jia Amnesty seconded it.

Shi Mei was still silent, but Mrs. Yan Hou had already praised her: "A gentleman is like Lan, a good name."

Shi Mei: A gentleman is like a bamboo!

Mrs. Zhang also nodded: "Sister Xuan is a gentleman of Fangcao, and Lan'er is a gentleman of Rulan, both are good names.

Mother, don't you think so? "

Mrs. Zhang only asked because Shi Mei didn't make a sound.

Mrs. Yan Hou's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law both praised her, but the mother-in-law remained silent. Could it be that she disapproved?

Shi Mei: "It's really good!"

The twelfth day of October, the day when Jalan washes three.

Yan Hou and Jia Amnesty were absent at the same time.

Not only were these two absent, Jia Zhu, Jia Lian and Jia Cong were also absent.

Shi Mei hurriedly ordered to pass on Jinshan Jinfeng.

These two are Jia Zhu and Jia Lian's personal bodyguards.

But Jin Da came: "Reporting to the old lady, Brother Jin Shan went out with the uncle and the second master on business last night."
