With the loud cry of the child, the "three baths" began.
Contrasting with the cry of the child was the laughter of the women in the house.
"This voice will be perfect when you grow up and get stronger..." Sanfujin said with a smile.
Mrs. Bo looked at the little brother kicking in the hands of the grandma who took the baby, and she also had a smile on her face.
This is Jiu Beile's legitimate third son. Even if Jiu Age accumulates merit and is rewarded with more titles in the future, it will only fall on the legitimate second son.
My younger brother, the third son of a viscount, is destined to have a low starting point, and he will have to make a career on his own in the future.
Good health is the capital of success.
Seeing that everyone's attention was on the child, Dafujin took a few steps back, hesitated, and entered the north room.
Shu Shu was ordered not to come out, but she could faintly hear the movement in the outer room.
Listening to her little brother's cry, she still felt a little anxious even though she knew that nothing was wrong.
"Nine younger siblings..."
Dafujin came in and stood at the door, looking a little shy.
Shu Shu was surprised.
It looked like he was asking for help, but Da Fujin himself was the county prince Fujin, and his natal family was also from a prominent family, so what could he ask for from his sister-in-law?
Shu Shu thought that she was not a person who liked to cause trouble to others, so she said: "Sister-in-law, please sit down quickly. Are you hungry? Eat some snacks..."
The food banquet that had been prepared in the dining room was set up two tables in the outer room and one table in the house.
Dafujin shook his head, took a few steps forward, endured his shyness, and whispered: "I want to beg my younger brother and sister to wear my little brother's clothes..."
Shu Shu: "..."
There seems to be a similar way to find a child.
Seeing that Shu Shu didn't answer, Dafujin looked over, feeling uneasy.
Shu Shu nodded hurriedly and said: "Okay, okay, you are too polite. If you don't ask for anything, just give me an order."
Dafujin said with gratitude: "Thank you, my ninth brother and sister..."
Shu Shu called Ging Guo and ordered: "Go to the south room to find a set of clothes for little brother and wrap them up, then go outside and hand them over to the nanny who is following Da Fujin."
The wing room was small, so the ladies and maids brought by everyone were placed elsewhere.
Dafu Jin was even more grateful when he saw Shu Shu's thoughtfulness.
No wonder everyone likes her. Who can not love her behavior?
At this time, the "three-wash" ceremony outside was also completed.
Everyone also discovered that Dafujin was not there.
Others thought she had gone to change clothes, so they didn't care. Only Jiuge saw Dafu Jin enter the north room.
The elders are here, and the younger ones should pay their respects, especially today, the first day of the Lunar New Year, it is also time to pay New Year greetings.
After the little brother was carried back to the south room, Mrs. Bo asked someone to pick up Fengsheng and Akdan.
Fengsheng and Akdan received Shu Shu's instructions and knew that the female relatives who came were all elders and should be polite and polite.
These two brothers, one looks better than the other.
Great aunts are precious, and royal aunts are even more valuable.
The two young brothers first greeted Jiu Gege.
Jiu Gege looked at the two of them as if they were little adults, with strict rules and regulations, and felt puzzled.
After giving the New Year's red envelope, Jiu Gege asked her uncle in a low voice: "You are so old that you have to learn the rules?"
The uncle said: "As soon as they can understand the words, they will start teaching the rules. They are afraid that if they teach them too late, it will be difficult for the children to change."
Jiu Gege thought about giving birth to a child and raising the child. This would take more than ten years to worry about.
It is estimated that parents will not let go until their children start a family and start a career.
If you are someone who loves to worry, like your father-in-law, you will not be willing to let go when your son gets married, so you will have to worry about it for the rest of your life.
Dafujin gave the prepared purse, took Fengsheng's little hand, and touched Akdan's little head.
When Mrs. Bo met Shi Fujin, she was originally worried that Akdan would avoid him for fear of danger, but in the end he stood firm.
Sanfujin asked with a smile: "You are so tall now, do you still remember your aunt?"
"Aunt, third aunt..."
Fengsheng did not nod or shake his head.
San Fujin smiled heartily and said: "Yes, it's me. I'm the third aunt, but I'm also an aunt..."
When they arrived at Sifujin, Fengsheng and Akdan were both familiar with each other. They didn't need to be introduced by Mrs. Bo, so they went straight to greet them New Year.
"Happy New Year, Fourth Aunt..."
Si Fujin nodded with a smile and said, "Happy New Year, brothers..."
Normally she would come here and treat her nephews and nieces equally, but today she looked at Akdan more.
If we really follow what the fourth elder brother said, left and right sects will be established in the imperial city in the future, then our second elder brother, third elder brother and Akdan will go to school together, and then the cousins will grow up together.
When Akdan was a child, he recognized his birth status, but now he has changed a lot.
With Shu Shu here, the tutor doesn't have to worry.
It is also a good thing for his son to have such cousins as companions.
Although Qi Fujin has the best relationship with Shu Shu, she has given birth in the past six months and has not gone out much since her confinement. She has been to Baylor Mansion once or twice, but she came and left in a hurry.
The two younger ones were a little unfamiliar with this seventh aunt.
Qi Fujin looked at the two of them and said: "I've been vaccinated, and I can't help but go out from now on. I'll go back to Aunt Qi's house with you, Enie, for a visit. There is also a little sister at my aunt's house. Little sister..."
My brother has almost forgotten what happened half a year ago.
At the moment, the two of them had no idea about going out. For a moment, they didn't know whether they should do it or not, so they looked at Madam Uncle.
?????55.?????
The uncle said: "It's just like you go to your tenth uncle's house. It's not someone else's house, but your own uncle's house. Your Enie will take you there in the future."
The two brothers then nodded to Qi Fujin.
Who can not love such a cute look?
Shi Fujin couldn't help but envy: "My nephew can listen to reason now, but my nephew is three years old and still has trouble learning to speak..."
Sanfujin said: "Your eldest brother has a young birthday. He says he is three years old, but in fact he is only one birthday over. Why are you so anxious..."
We are all the housewives, and we have to be busy on the first day of the new year.
Except for Jiu Gege who did not say a word, the other Fujins left.
Mrs. Bo wanted to follow her out to see her off, but was stopped by Da Fujin and San Fujin.
Dafu Jin said: "We are all family members, there is no need to be like this."
Sanfu Jin also said: "These relatives are discussed by their own people. Don't talk about it with the men. We talk about it from the lineage. But we talk to you about it from my niece and Shu Shu. You can just be an elder with peace of mind!"
Shi Fujin said: "You stay, I will see off the sisters-in-law on behalf of Sister-in-law Jiu."
One sentence made everyone laugh.
San Fujin hummed and said, "Is this showing off the relationship between your two families? How do you measure distance and distance? I don't believe it. My sister has become a guest today?"
Qi Fujin smiled and said: "Why don't you replace me? You should go home quickly, the female family members are still waiting to come to the house to pay New Year's greetings."
Dafujin and Sifujin listened with smiles, but didn't say anything.
The sisters-in-law can get along like this, and everyone is happy to see it happen.
If there really is a thorn in the side, it will be difficult for both of us.
Shi Fujin said with a smile: "I am close to Sister-in-law Jiu, and I am happy to help Sister-in-law Jiu run errands. No matter how big a sister you are, you are still a guest even if you come less often!"
The sisters-in-law left the house chatting and laughing, and then got into their cars and went home...
*
West wing and north room.
Shu Shu was already leaning forward, and she pushed the pillow to sit on the Nine-Gate Kang.
Before Jiugege surrendered, my sister-in-law and sister-in-law often stayed together.
Jiu Gege was not polite. He picked the beads and went outside. His winter court clothes and winter crown were also crooked on the kang.
She relaxed visibly and said, "I really can't bear to go home. I'm too shameless to disturb my sister-in-law."
"I'm feeling depressed and wish someone could talk to me..."
Shu Shu shook her head and said.
Whoever sits in confinement knows how boring this confinement is.
I couldn't read to pass the time, so I could only work hard.
Jiu Gege looked at Shu Shu's face and asked thoughtfully: "Sister-in-law Jiu, are you really not afraid this time? It's unthinkable to give birth to such a big child..."
Shu Shu said: "Why aren't you afraid? Afterwards, everyone wants to arrange their posthumous affairs. The period of childbirth is a matter of life and death. This sentence is no joke."
How many women died or were injured due to the pain of childbirth.
Shu Shu felt that she didn't suffer too much this time because of the short delivery time. Otherwise, if she really had to torture her to death, she wouldn't be able to get close to her little brother.
Jiu Gege lowered her eyes and said: "I don't want to have children..."
I wanted to give birth before, but now I seem to have passed that point and am too lazy to give birth.
Shu Shu: "..."
Shu Shu looked at Jiu Gege carefully. There was no gloominess between her eyebrows, but her whole person looked lazy.
Such thoughts would be common in later generations, but now they seem deviant.
Shu Shu could only vaguely say: "If you don't want to have a baby, just don't give birth. You are still young. As long as the first child is no more than thirty, it is not too late..."
Jiu Gege shook his head and said: "I don't want to have a baby, not that I want to be born late."
Shu Shu couldn't answer the call.
If you support it at this time and regret it later, it will be your fault; if you oppose it, there is no need.
If Shu Shu herself were a princess, she wouldn't want to suffer the pain of childbirth.
Jiu Gege continued: "My wife selected the best-looking sons from the family and placed them in the prince-in-law's house. The prince-in-law sent the people back. The mother and son are competing with each other. It's so boring..."
"I have never given birth to a child, but I have seen sisters-in-law suffering from puerperium. There is also an example of my elder sister-in-law..."
"I really hope that my concubine will die soon, so that my wife won't have to talk about it anymore..."
Shu Shu didn't interrupt and let Jiu Gege talk.
If I remember correctly, Jiu Gege also shyly mentioned the burning of incense in Hongluo Temple.
It was true that I wanted to have a child at that time, and it is also true that I don’t want to have children now.
Shu Shu looked at Jiu Gege and said: "You are a princess. As long as you are happy, few people can make you unhappy. Think about the imperial grandmother. All she wants is for you to be safe and healthy. Nothing else matters..."
Jiu Gege's eyebrows were crooked and she said: "Yes, it doesn't matter what others say about how I live my life. Only I can have the final say..."
While my sister-in-law was talking, Ging Guo came in carrying a food box.
It's two bowls of shrimp wontons and a few side dishes.
Shu Shu said: "I don't think you are a guest, and I haven't prepared a table for you. Come and deal with me."
The wontons are slightly pink, with green cabbage, black seaweed, and yellow egg skin inside.
Jiu Gege came to the Kang table, smiled and said: "I remembered how I went to meet Jiu Sao for dinner every day when I was in Hechi No. 4..."
The aunt and sister-in-law wiped their hands and ate small wontons.
